The next day, I saw that Bao Mian was a little sluggish and unhappy, and his work efficiency was reduced a lot.

Cao Bin was a little dissatisfied and said:

"Rongxing, isn't it just a thousand taels of silver? That's all you have to offer? ”

"Benjue, this is exercising your ability to resist temptation, do you know?"

"There are treacherous clouds in the officialdom, and if you are not careful, you will step into the trap of others."

Seeing that Bao Mian didn't react, Cao Bin continued:

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, this IOU will never be taken out."

Hearing this, Bao Mian cheered up a little.

Cao Bin nodded with satisfaction and continued to supervise the work.

Xindao, this IOU was not originally prepared for you, and when the time comes, take it to Bao Zheng and see how he reacts.

At this time, Wang Tongju came in and reported:

"Uncle Cao, the price of Yunxiao Daily has also been reduced, and it is also a penny, and they also slandered that building a port is a failed plan."

Cao Bin took the newspaper and looked at it, and saw that the Yunxiao Daily was no different from yesterday, except that there was an additional page introducing famous mountains and rivers.

He couldn't help laughing, the other party was purely losing money and making money.

It seems that they don't know what advertising revenue is yet.

It's normal to think about it, those advertisers have signed non-disclosure agreements.

As long as they don't take the initiative to publicize it, they can hide it from each other for at least ten days and a half.

With the effect of the first batch of advertisements, more and more merchants will come to the door, even if the Da Song Daily gives it away for free, it will not lose money.

Cao Bin already plans to develop the newspaper in an all-round way, and by then, even if the other party discovers the mystery, the Da Song Daily will already have an overwhelming advantage.

If there is no sales, who is looking for them to advertise?

The other party thought he was fighting a price war...... In fact, he is fighting a price war, but he will not lose money.

In this case, the more the other party sells, the more they lose.

Thinking of this, Cao Bin commanded:

"Tell the people in the newspaper that they should do their best to print the newspaper, how big the market is, and how big the market is."

I just don't know if the other party will follow, if they do, it depends on how much silver they have to lose?

Wang Tongju nodded and continued:

"There are also businessmen who want to invest money to build a port, and there are more than a dozen of them who promised yesterday, but when they want to sign the contract today, they are all gone."

Cao Bin was surprised: "None of them are gone? ”

Wang Tongju hesitated: "Is it because of this Yunxiao Daily?" ”

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"It's impossible, those businessmen don't have any opinions, and it is impossible for them all to change their minds, it seems that someone is deliberately targeting us."

As he spoke, he groaned for a while and said:

"Maybe I was persuaded by someone, or maybe I was threatened."

Wang Tongju smiled bitterly:

"We have just negotiated with those businessmen, who has such a great ability to grasp the situation in the yamen?"

"If there is no outsider to take the lead, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make other businessmen believe in Uncle's plan!"

At this time, Menzi came to report: "Uncle, Princess Xiangyang is visiting. ”

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Let her go to the side hall and wait." ”

As he spoke, he didn't pay any more attention to Wang Tong's judgment, hurried to the side, and Bao Mian swallowed his saliva and said:

"Uncle Cao went to see the wife of the King of Sin alone, a little wrong, right? Shall we go and see? ”

Wang Tongju glanced at him and said, "If you want to go by yourself, the official still has official business, so I won't accompany you." ”

State Yabian Hall.

"Uncle Cao, I heard that you are going to build a new port, and the concubine wants to contribute 10,000 taels."

As soon as Cao Bin entered the side hall, Princess Xiangyang explained her intention straight to the point.

Seeing that she took out several silver tickets, Cao Bin was surprised:

"This is the princess's entire net worth, right? Why not stay and take the plunge? ”

"10,000 taels of silver, is enough for your mother and daughter to live for the rest of their lives?"

Princess Xiangyang did not answer his question, but continued:

"I want the ten acres closest to the dock."

Cao Bin was about to take the silver, but when he heard her say this, he quickly retracted his hand and said solemnly:

"No, you can't buy two acres of land for 10,000 taels of silver."

"If you are opened, what will the others do? This official has always been honest and honest......"

Princess Xiangyang frowned and said, "Five acres!" It couldn't be less. ”

Cao Bin said categorically: "If you say no, it won't work, don't say it, princess, please!" ”

Princess Xiangyang suddenly wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly:

"You have no conscience, you are so ruthless?"

"The concubine doesn't want to cause you trouble, she just wants to support herself."

"Now that we have been reduced to commoners, driven out of the palace, and will all be in this business in the future!"

"Can't you take care of it?"

Looking at the princess's graceful figure and soft and pretty jade face, against the backdrop of a filial piety dress, it is even more stylish.

At the age of thirty, she ...... "run" like a girl of eighteen or nineteen.

Seeing this, Cao Bin couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and involuntarily stretched out his hand......

He felt that this was all the fault of the uniform, otherwise he was supposed to help, how could he fall into the trap?

"Uncle Cao, can you do it this time?"

The princess asked as she drew a circle on Cao Bin's chest.

Cao Bin got up very quickly and said with confidence:

"What's okay? Do you think Benjue will be fooled by a little beauty trick? ”

"Forty thousand taels, not a single centimeter is missing, well....... Benjue still has business to do, so let's go! ”

The princess watched him leave in amazement, a little confused, what went wrong?

Is it so hard?

When he returned to the main hall, seeing that Bao Mian was shrinking his head and brain, Cao Bin said suspiciously:

"What are you doing?"

Bao Mian hurriedly said: "Office, I'm working!" ”

As he spoke, he quickly lowered his head and worked harder.

Cao Bin groaned for a moment and ordered:

"Go and tell the newspaper that tomorrow I will send 'Princess Xiangyang bid 80,000 yuan' to fund the construction of the port, and get ten acres of port land."

In fact, with Cao Bin's own silver as the foundation, there is no shortage of money in the preliminary project.

Under the construction of a large number of people day and night, it only took half a month for the port to take shape.

One of the magnificent buildings is the most eye-catching.

"Xiangyang Exchange"

At this time, Wang Tongju was taking many businessmen to visit.

He said with a bit of arrogance:

"See, our Xiangyang Exchange has the largest warehouse and the fastest news."

"Whether it is Shuzhong, Jiangdong, or even the commodity prices of neighboring countries will be marked......."

"And we have the largest perfume and soap workshop here, and you can't buy so much from anywhere else."

The businessmen in the rear were already dazzled and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's so convenient, it's clear where the goods can make money, and even the weather and governance forecasts in various places, how can you lose money?"

"Not only that, what goods are needed, you can also place orders for purchase, and even complete large transactions without going out in this exchange......

Seeing that Wang Tongju introduced himself, someone couldn't help but ask:

"Lord Wang, can we still buy land in the port?"

Others also asked, but they were only worried about whether Xiangyang would attract enough business to do so.

But in the current situation, merchants from all over the country must flock to the country, and even exceed the carrying capacity of the port.

You can imagine how prosperous this place will be in the future, so this place will be worth a lot of money.

Wang Tongju glanced at him and said, "It's late, the land in the port has been sold out......

Now he has a lot of money, and the land around the port alone has been sold for more than a million yuan.
