Chapter 144: One Cheng Li?

"Who? Who's talking? ”

Huang Lirong, who had a big belly and a round waist, straightened his waist slightly, his buttocks left the mat, and his head twisted around, looking for the source of the sound.

Xu Baizhi did not hide it, stood up generously, pointed to the Chinese book and said loudly: "My lord, is the sharing ratio on this document wrong?" ”

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Facing Xu Baizhi's questioning, Huang Lirong's face was a little unbearable, and he waved his sleeves and said, "What's wrong?" Don't talk nonsense. ”

In the gazebo, the sudden change made all the merchants stop writing for a while, and they all looked up curiously, they didn't know what had happened.

When Second Uncle Xu saw that the two of them were being stared at by everyone, he suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, his nervous palms were sweating, and his heart was pounding, or he was about to jump out of his throat in the next moment.

He was sitting precariously, staring intently, but his right hand quietly pulled Xu Baizhi's dress beside him, wanting her to sit down and not be this up-and-coming bird.

"Look at your position as the representative of Hsu Fu Chi, right? Xu Hongyao, what about Xu Hongyao? Huang Lirong asked Second Uncle Xu to come out and speak.

Second Uncle Xu stood up tremblingly, bowed to Huang Lirong, and said respectfully: "My lord, I am here." ”

"Whose girl is this? How did you bring it here? Haven't you been taking care of the matter of Xu Fu Ji Huangshang? What's the deal with a girl doll now? ”

Faced with Huang Lirong's successive questions, Second Uncle Xu's legs were about to weaken, and he said tremblingly: "My lord, I have indeed been taking care of the matter of Xu Fuji Huangshang, but today my niece wanted to come and see, so I brought her over." ”

"Bang!"

Huang Lirong waved his sleeves without warning, knocked over the teacup on the table in front of him, and the tea overflowed, splashing everywhere, fortunately, there was not much tea in the cup, otherwise others would have suffered.

Huang Lirong stood up, pointed at Second Uncle Xu's head, and said angrily, "What's the matter with you? On such an important occasion, bring it in? This official sees that you Xu Fuji don't want the quota of the imperial merchant! ”

Second Uncle Xu's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately knelt down with a "poof".

Huang Lirong was so angry, everyone tacitly glanced at each other, their hearts suddenly became alert, and they remembered what Xu Baizhi had just said, and they all looked down and carefully looked at the Chinese book in their hands.

After only a moment's effort, everyone's expressions froze on their faces, as if they understood something.

But at this time, there is already a budding bird, and everyone naturally will not ask for this bad luck.

However, everyone sincerely thanked Xu Fuji for making such a fuss, otherwise, everyone would have to suffer the loss of the imperial court.

Xu Baizhi lifted the hem of his skirt and slowly walked out from behind the teahouse, holding the paperwork in his hand, and said with confidence: "Lord Huang, the little woman is not a female doll of any family, the little woman is the big shopkeeper of Xu Fuji, Xu Baizhi." ”

Huang Lirong glanced at Xu Baizhi and pursed his lips.

How could he not recognize Xu Baizhi, just to say that, just to deter everyone.

"Lord Huang, when the little girl checked the document contract, she found that there was something wrong with the paperwork, can you please explain one or two things to the little girl?" Xu Baizhi raised his beautiful eyes and looked at Huang Lirong and pleaded.

It's the right time today, Xu Baizhi didn't use it, and he didn't want to come.

Xu Fu has always been taken care of by the second uncle when he entered the imperial business, although there were some twists and turns, but he finally stabilized, and he came over today, but he signed an ordinary document, and he could send someone at will, but Xu Baizhi was not at ease, so he still followed.

Unexpectedly, this time I found out that the paperwork was boring.

"Lord Huang, as far as the little woman knows, if you are a royal businessman, the profit sharing ratio between the royal family and the merchant has always been 64, the royal 6, and the merchant Jia 4, how come today, according to the document, the sharing ratio has changed, and it has become 73? If it's seventy-three, my businessman wants to do business at a loss, how can this be done? ”

The imperial merchants originated from the previous dynasty, and at the beginning there were only eight families, because these eight families used their wealth to provide the necessary military supplies for the establishment of the new dynasty during the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, the imperial family remembered the immortal merits established by the eight major families, and accepted these eight families as imperial merchants to manage the industries operated by the imperial court in an official capacity.

Later, after years of development, the imperial merchant was no longer the privilege of the eight families.

Some powerful private businessmen can also become imperial merchants, but there are disadvantages and advantages to becoming imperial merchants, although with the identity of the government, you can form a monopoly on the industry, but most of the profits must be handed over to the royal treasury, owned by the royal family, and a small part is the vested businessmen.

In the Li Dynasty, the royal merchants and the royal profits were shared, and in these years, most of them went into the royal treasury, and forty percent were the income of the merchants.

This share ratio has not changed for many years, how can it be said in today's paperwork.

Six-four became seven-three.

If this is the case, businessmen will have three, and some industries with larger costs will lose money.

Therefore, Xu Baizhi raised this question in public.

As soon as Xu Baizhi asked, other businessmen also spoke out one after another, wanting a reasonable explanation, otherwise this document would not be a trick.

"That's right, Lord Huang, isn't this Qisan?"

"That's right, we're losing money."

"Lord Huang, you have to give us a reasonable explanation."

"Lord Huang? Lord Huang? ”

Everyone, you say a word, and you and I say a word, and the loopholes in the documents are made public to the world.

Otherwise, after this document is signed, there will be more than a dozen businessmen in this world who will work for the royal white, and maybe even the old family will have to pay for it.

Huang Lirong saw that the matter was revealed, but he stopped talking, his momentum slowly weakened, and he sat in his position and bowed his head to think about countermeasures.

In fact, Huang Lirong found out about the paperwork early on, but he didn't dare to make a noise about it, thinking about it, this should be the meaning of the above, and the extra Yichengli may go into the pockets of several princes.

In leaving the dynasty, embezzlement and enriching one's own pockets are not the norm for low-level officials.

Some high-level and powerful scary officials are very greedy, and they can randomly weigh one of them and raid their homes, and the money and property found in this person's house are absolutely shocking and appalling.

A few princes are greedy for money, is it unexpected?

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"

After a long time, Huang Lirong beckoned and told everyone to be quiet.

He added: "Ladies and gentlemen, what is said in the document is the meaning of the imperial court, not the decision of the official. It used to be June Fourth, and now it's July Three, but it's just a small share of the profits, and you should make a little less. ”

Immediately, a grumpy businessman stood up: "Lord Huang, you can't say that, now it's not as simple as a small share of profits, just talk about my silk weaving industry, from silk to cloth, which has to go through at least a dozen processes, each process requires workers to do it themselves, labor, raw materials, transportation, shops.... This requires money everywhere, the original six or four points, we still make a tie between profit and expenditure, if it is seventy-three, we have to advance money outside, this is a loss-making business. ”

"Yes, the silk weaving industry is still like this, and we are even more loss-making when we do other transactions."

“.......”

Huang Lirong listened, he understood all these truths.

But the question now is, this extra profit is to honor a few princes, can this money be given?

If the businessman doesn't give it, then who will pay for it?
