Chapter 300: Master Cai enters the urn
Chao Gai's six prospective ladies are all born with flowers and moons, and their figures are graceful. Everyone is draped all over, holding sharp weapons, all of them have apricot eyes, and they are murderous. Dressed in a military uniform, he is heroic and sassy, and the end is shocking.
In particular, several women sang and followed their wives, glancing at Cai Ganban with unkind faces, and the latter was shocked by the murderous aura and looked at several women blankly.
Chao Gai looked at Wu and Xiao, and glanced behind him with a helpless wry smile: "Hahaha, two gentlemen, when they came back from the military camp outside the city, they met the messenger on the way, and they had to follow, so they had to add a few cups of tea." β
Seeing this, Wu Yong and Xiao Jiasui hurriedly got up to greet each other, and shook their heads with a smile: "Hey, what did the big officials say?" Madame is willing, why can't she come? β
The lord is the title of the courtier to the monarch.
With outsiders, two resourceful people naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.
"Like, did you hear that?" The women were smiling, but they were glaring at Chao Gai. This time, in addition to the three female generals Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Tali, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao followed the same example, hugging their fists and saluting.
Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui is the standard scribe etiquette!
Taizu of the Song Dynasty rebelled, and paid great attention to etiquette, meeting and saluting, and greetings were indispensable. The two sides met the ceremony, and they sat down one after another.
Only Cai Ganban stood, his eyes moving with Li Qingwan, Master Li and other women. This is an unreasonable move, which makes Hu Sanniang and Huazi touch the handle of the knife.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Chao Gai asked unhappily.
Before the door was closed, several men with steel knives poured in. Everyone is not good-looking, everyone shakes the steel knife, and cuts at the first order.
Wu coughed a few times and shouted, "Lao Cai, come back to your senses."
Perhaps perceiving the crisis, that Cai Ganban was excited, and his face was full of admiration: "Oh, oh......, the king of heaven is angry and is in Xia Meng Lang." I have never witnessed the heroic posture of female generals, and I was shocked by the heroic posture of several Mrs. Chao. β
"Well, please take a seat." Chao Gai's face softened and he waved his hand. A few big men left with regret on their faces, making Cai Gan's back swishing in a cool breeze. What kind of people are these Chaojiazhuang! If you don't agree with each other, you will face each other with swords.
At this time, two more old women came up with trays, served tea to everyone one by one, and left quickly, and with a bang, the door of the conference room closed.
Chao Gai didn't want to delay too much time, picked up the teacup, and asked straight to the point: "Cai Ganban, I don't know why the Taishi sent you to me?" β
"Taishi said to give you a rich ......" Cai Ganban came to the officialdom again, and Wu Yong reminded him: "Lao Cai, we understand, skip this paragraph." β
Chao Gai heard the title of "Lao Cai" again, and looked at Wu Jialiang in surprise. understands that this guy who is good at pondering people is very familiar with Cai Ganban, and it is estimated that with his methods, he has already eaten the other party to death.
Wu Yong seemed to feel something, turned his head and smiled his head, indicating that this was a good thing.
"Okay, then I won't sell it." Cai Ganban nodded when he heard Wu Yong's words, and directly picked out the words: "Chief Chao, my family master knows that you have business dealings with that group of eunuchs, and you purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment at the end of last year. Even the fire incident in the Mudaogang horse prison was implicated. β
As one of the parties involved, Master Li's expression was a little unnatural. However, when they saw Wu and Xiao, the two military advisors were drinking tea with normal faces, looking like an old god was there, and the smart woman calmed down and was no longer worried.
Chao Gai naturally noticed this abnormality, and although he wondered what Cai Jing's old thing was about, he was not in a hurry. I also know that some things are done in one and one thing, and the nature of being doubted or guessed or admitted is different.
Selling armor and other military supplies is a big crime!
Four words, he didn't admit it, so his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, I am a good citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am law-abiding, how can I do those head-killing deeds?" It must be that the master made a mistake or listened to the words of the villain, so there is this misunderstanding, I have never been to Bianliang City last year, and I have always had a headache about Shuibo Liangshan, how can I be free?
I heard that there were several major events happening in Bianliang City when the Chinese New Year was approaching. Someone attacked Bianliang City, and the disappearance of the Oiran lady Li Shishi, if it was all to blame on me, wouldn't I become a criminal who robbed women with the official family? I can't afford this kind of sin, and I don't dare to borrow my guts! β
Master Li happened to be drinking tea next to him, and when he heard Chao Gai mention her, he coughed a few times, wiped his red lips with a handkerchief, and his eyes were resentful and angry.
The faces of the other women changed, and then they cast playful glances, as if to say, you don't need to borrow guts, you dare to play for the sake of women.
What a trick to retreat into advance!
Li Qingzhao, Li Qingwan, and the three daughters of Yelu Tali thought so. Wu Yong and Xiao Jiasui thought of more, and the old things were brought up again, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
Chao Gai held the teacup in one hand and the lid of the cup in the other, gushing: "Cai Gan can investigate if he doesn't believe it, Chao is kind to others, and never engages in those crooked ways." But Zizi had false suspicions, but the yellow mud fell off his crotch and jumped into the Yellow River, and he couldn't wash it away, so I could only raise my hands and shout injustice. Therefore, please ask the master to be aware of everything, there is no such thing, there is no such thing. β
This Shandong Chao cover is not simple!
Cai Ganban was scolded by Chao Gai's serial words like a cannon, and after coming back to his senses, he restrained his contempt, and his eyes changed when he looked at this person in the rivers and lakes, and he wanted to look at an old fritter who was mixed with officialdom, and shook his head with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, the king of heaven misunderstood what I meant." β
Chao Gai looked at Cai Ganban with great interest: "Oh, please say something clearly." β
Cai Ganban smiled and said the purpose of this trip: "Taishi said that Chaojiazhuang wants to exterminate the strongmen of Liangshan, and the lack of weapons and equipment should be purchased. The armor depot of Bianliang City is divided into two institutions, inside and outside, and the weapons and equipment are piled up! The old lady is in a high position and has a high authority, and she can still speak. β
Speaking of this, Chao Gai is not a fool, and he suddenly realized. Cai Jing, an old thing, sent people not to make trouble for himself, but to take a fancy to the good market of Chaojiazhuang, and wanted to get involved in it and make money for a long time.
The talented woman Li Qingzhao witnessed this scene with her own eyes, learned about the level of corruption in the imperial court, was inexplicably sentimental, and at the same time excited by Chao Gai's ambition.
In troubled times, there will always be heroes born out of thin air!
Yelu Tali, Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui, these resourceful people also think so.
Where does Cai Ganban know the thoughts of these people? This time, it was him who talked endlessly. And during this time, I did a lot of homework, and talked eloquently: "In addition to the necessary equipment, eight hundred miles of water is boundless, and there is a good water, how can you win without a boat?" Chaojiazhuang called for saving food, and purchased all kinds of materials on a large scale, but a large number of cattle and sheep were transported back for sale. Presumably, food, medicinal herbs, cloth and other materials were sold to the north. β
"Damn, you know this?" Chao Gai pretended to be surprised, and looked at Cai Ganban with an incredible gaze, as if he was looking at a master in the world, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Oh, you can't hide anything from Cai Gan." When I visited my friends, I found that there was a war there, and I made some war money. β
"Chao Tianwang is really courageous!" Cai Ganban noticed that Chao Gai's surprised and admiring gaze was very useful, and treated him politely, and also praised him.
"There is also speculation in Bianliang City about this kind of transaction, and it is a good thing that low-priced cattle and sheep are pouring into the Great Song Dynasty. There are many protΓ©gΓ©s of the Taishi, and they can speak everywhere, and they need as much food and equipment as they want. Taishi's hometown is on Fujian Road, and ships of all sizes are at your disposal, so it is easy to attack Liangshan. This is the main purpose for which the Taishi sent me, and I hope that the king of heaven will think it through. β
After that, Cai Ganban was full of smiles, looking like he was waiting for your reply.
In fact, some of the words were played by him on the spot, and Cai Jing really wanted to test his tone when he sent him. But he didn't say it explicitly, weapons and equipment, grain and ships are all goods that he has seen and asked a lot in the past few days, and only then did he think of the goods that come to the money quickly.
As long as he can reach a deal, his status with Taishi Cai will definitely rise. As Mr. Wu said, it is easier to make money by being in charge of these things, and people always have to think about themselves, right?
He looked at Chao Gai expectantly, but the result was a little disappointing.
"Well..., I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Cai Ganban." Chao Gai touched his chin and pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, shaking his head with regret on his face.
He was deliberately pretending, his face was solemn, but his heart was happy. Cai Jing, this old thing, has entered the urn. But he is also a good person and has business acumen, how not to know the plan to get away with the old and indulge, a little trick, so that the other party can perceive the sense of crisis, you can maximize the benefits.
The smile on Cai Ganban's face stiffened, and he felt like he had taken the wrong script. I have discussed it with Mr. Wu many times in the past few days, but the result is not like this? Subconsciously looked at Wu Yong and saw that he was also stunned, and suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but be anxious: "Manager Chao, Taishi's good intentions should be carefully considered." β
"Yes, big official, this is a good opportunity!" Wu Yong was also a little puzzled.
"Hey, I understand what the master means." Chao Gai waved his hand, signaling a little calm, and then looked at Cai Ganban: "Brother, you still haven't cultivated home." Chao is afraid that Yang Gong's side will not be easy to deal with, and it is most taboo to step on two boats in the officialdom, swaying like grass on the wall, for fear of causing death. β
When Cai Ganban heard Chao Gai say the word brother, his heart was touched and he felt that the other party was talking from the bottom of his heart, until the smile on his face became bright after he finished speaking: "Hahaha, is the manager worried about this?" There is no need for this at all, and the business you are willing to buy and sell is not above the officialdom. β
"Well, brother, that's what I said!" Chao Gai nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "That's it!" I told you in advance, and you also asked the Taishi to come forward and say, there is no problem on both sides, this transaction must be done. β
"Yes, yes, what the big official said makes sense!" Cai Ganban was overjoyed.
Chao Gai saw that he had already taken the bait, and his face was full of seriousness but with bewitchment: "Brother, you should have heard that there is a Wang Yuan in Benzhou, who is famous in this industry, and he is about to go to become an official, glorify his ancestors, and become famous." β
"Yes, yes, I heard Mr. Wu say it."
"Let me tell you! For example, the old grain is five stones and three runs, and the new grain is two stones and three runs. You can rely on the relationship between the Taishi and mobilize grain from all over the country to sell, five stones of old grain and two stones, and one stone of new grain, and the difference in price is yours. Other vessels, equipment can also be operated in this way. We call this a kickback, the lower the price of the materials you mobilize from all over the country, the more you earn, and as long as you have the money, you can become a big official......"
Cai Ganban really didn't listen to Wu Yong's words in such detail, but now that he heard Chao Gai's thorough analysis, there was only a golden light in his eyes as if he had lifted the clouds.
