Chapter 302: Interests come first

Chen Lin was warning Su Shi, but the latter didn't seem to see it at all, but nodded and said, "It turns out that he is a master of the secret spy department." It's just that I'm absolutely safe here, and I don't need to make a noise. ”

After saying this, Su Shi continued to shout outside as he should, "Come on, bring things up." ”

shouted out the voice of the person again, and Chen Lindi's face couldn't help but change a little. This Su Shi, can't he understand that he is warning him? And everyone is so close, if Su Shi has to do it, he can guarantee that he can hold Su Shi hostage in the first place.

As for Lou Yang behind Su Shi, he is still too young in the end, and he is a first-class master, how can he be their opponent.

But before Chen Lin was angry, he wanted to launch something, but when he heard the next sentence, he lifted things up.

What does it mean to carry something up?

Chen Lin was a little puzzled in his heart, and also looked at Su Shi with curiosity.

When he saw Su Shi looking at him with kind eyes, Chen Lin didn't order the two of them to do it, he also wanted to see what trick Su Shi was playing. Of course, this is also because he is a master of art and bold, and he has the confidence to control the situation.

Under Su Shi's shout, four Su family soldiers walked in outside, and they walked into the main hall in groups of two, carrying two wooden boxes.

After the wooden box entered the hall, it was placed on the ground. Following the four Su family soldiers, they gave Su Shi a fist salute and then retreated. There was no intention of staying in the hall at all, which made both Hei Wuchang and Heartless relax a lot.

Although everyone didn't fight, they could still feel the killing spirit from each other's bodies.

Needless to say, these four people must have been killed from the sea of corpses and blood. No matter what kind of martial arts such a person is, when it comes to the ability to kill, he will not be too weak.

The four of them left, and they were relieved of the impermanence. Chen Lin also looked at Su Shi with doubtful eyes, as if asking, what do you mean by this?

"Hehe, if Zhongguan Chen is curious, he might as well open it and take a look." Su Shi said with a smile, his whole body relaxed.

Looking at Su Shi's confident appearance, Chen Lin sneered, "Su Shaofu, you don't want to bribe our family, tell you, our family is an official family, and we will not accept bribes from you courtiers, if you dare to do this, it will be a violation of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and I can arrest you on this ground, do you understand?" ”

"Hahaha, Zhongguan Chen said with a smile, I, Su Shi, will not do the way of these villains." A calm laugh sounded, and Su Shi's face was full of confidence.

Isn't it gold and silver, not to bribe me?

Thinking like this, Chen Lin looked at the black impermanence beside him and nodded.

Black Impermanence, who got permission, took the waist knife in his hand, and came to the wooden box very carefully, and then under everyone's attention, the wooden box was raised to a small corner, and with a slight force, the lid of the wooden box was opened.

Chen Lin was also curious about what was in the wooden box. His eyes were staring unblinking, until the wooden box was opened, and after he saw what was inside, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes.

It was true that the wooden box was not a bribe containing gold or silver, but a neatly stacked linen silk cloth.

"It's... At this moment, Chen Lin couldn't understand what Su Shi was doing.

"Well, there's another box, let's open it together." Su Shi still had a smile on his face, as if he had expected Chen Lin to have such a reaction.

This time, without Chen Lin's reminder, Hei Wuchang stretched out his knife and opened the second wooden box, which was also silk cloth, but this time it was all brocade, and it was also divided into several colors, giving people a very bright feeling at first glance.

The two boxes were opened, and this time without waiting for Chen Lin to ask something, Su Shi took the initiative to say: "Zhongguan Chen, what do you think of the quality of these silk cloths?" ”

"This is ... What do you mean? Chen Lin had already sobered up at this time, and he also had an idea in his heart, but he was not very sure, when he looked at Su Shi, there was a little more expectation in his eyes.

Chen Lin's gaze was noticed by Su Shi, and he smiled and said: "Chen Zhongguan is right, this is the silk cloth that came in from outside the territory, which is divided into two types: linen cloth and silk cloth. Among them, silk cloth has more than 30 different colors, which can meet the various needs of everyone. ”

"Seriously." Chen Lin was already excited at this meeting.

"Of course it's true. To be honest, if it wasn't for the one named Zhou Tong who was too ruthless last time, I wouldn't have killed him. But this is my temper, if you treat me well, I will repay you tenfold. On the other hand, whoever wants to threaten me will not agree. So Zhou Tong died. ”

Su Shi continued to say with a look of emotion, "I don't regret killing Zhou Tong, but I also know that it must have brought some trouble to Zhongguan Chen. I've always been interesting to my friends. Thinking that the relationship with Chen Zhongguan is not bad, I think about how to make up for you. At this time, Qian Bao sent someone to contact me, and I asked if he had any other goods to offer, so I had these two boxes of silk cloth. ”

Saying this with a sigh, Su Shi just intended to tell Chen Lin that he did not regret killing Zhou Tong, but no matter how he said it, he would have slapped you in the face. Now is the time to compensate you, and this is the silk cloth business.

Chen Lin naturally understood the meaning of these words, thinking that Zhou Tong was dead, even if he killed Su Shi at this time, he would not be able to resurrect after death, but would offend Su Shi.

In other words, this Su Shi is very resentful. Don't say anything else, let's just say that Liu Liufu was because he couldn't send someone to kill Su Shi, but Su Shi took the self-recruited Su family army to Daliao and him off alive.

Now he can take this opportunity to clean up Su Shi, but who dares to guarantee that he will not hold grudges, at that time, he needs to be on guard at all times, and this feeling will definitely not be pleasant.

Even if this is the case, it is better to accept Su Shi's kindness, so that not only will there be no less enemy, but also one more friend, and more importantly, you can get a lot of benefits.

The development of the secret spy department is now hindered, and its strength is not as good as before, isn't it because there is no way to make money?

If you have money, how many people like Zhou Tong can't be cultivated?

Thinking of this, Chen Lin was already moved, and when he looked at Su Shi, his face was a little more peaceful and asked, "But I don't know, how many silk cloths are there?" ”

"It's not a lot, five million horses a year." Su Shi responded with a smile.

"Five million?" When he heard this result, Chen Lin's whole person became excited.

The Great Song Dynasty could indeed produce its own silk, but because of backward technology and limited silkworm production, the silk cloth produced every year was also counted, about seven million horses. In addition to the seizures in various places, only three million horses were actually handed over to the national treasury, not even half of the amount.

It is precisely because of the various actions of the major families and gentry that there has always been a lack of silk cloth in the early Song Dynasty, forcing Zhao Zhen of the Ren Song Dynasty to order that those who have no official status should not wear silk. That's barely enough to meet the need.

This can be seen from the annual tribute of 100,000 pieces of cloth to the Liao State. Obviously, the Liao State was also aware of the economic situation of the Great Song Dynasty, so it did not open its mouth in this regard.

Now, Su Shi said that he could provide five million horses of silk cloth a year to himself, although it can be seen that these are all small horses, that is, one-third of the big horses, about one horse is only more than ten meters, but after all, it is the number of five million horses, which is still exciting and exciting.

"Yes, it's five million horses, in order to show my sincerity, the silk cloth business will be handed over to the secret spy department in the future, and in addition to the cost, I only need one percent of the benefits, that is, ninety percent of the benefits for Zhongguan Chen. But I also have three conditions. ”

"On what terms?" Hearing Su Shi say that he was willing to give up ninety percent of his profits, Chen Lin became even more excited.

"First, the issue of paying taxes on silk cloth will be handed over to Zhongguan Chen."

When Su Shi said this, Chen Lin couldn't help nodding in response, "This is what should be done, and Su Shaofu doesn't have to worry about paying taxes." ”

I have taken ninety percent of my profits, and I am of course responsible for paying taxes.

"Okay, then I'll talk about the second condition, Zhongguan Chen also knows, this time I took the Su family army to Liaodi and Mengdi, I don't know how many battles to the death, the losses are very large, and there are some gains. Like furs, gold and silver also got some back. It was precisely because of this that Zhou Tong's snooping was aroused, and this trouble was provoked. And this money is really not reserved for me, but for the bereavement of those Su Jiajun brothers who died in battle, so Zhongguan Chen, look, can these gains not be handed over? ”

"How many?" Chen Lin asked after thinking about it.

"More than twenty carriages." Su Shi responded.

As soon as he heard that there were only more than 20 carriages, Chen Lin quickly calculated in his heart, even if a carriage was worth 100,000 yuan, it would only be more than 2 million yuan together. It seems like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the benefits of silk cloth.

Isn't Su Shi talking about it? This money is for the martyrs' bereavement, and whoever takes this money will inevitably lose heart, so it is better to sell it to the other party to save face.

"Okay, I agreed to this one, and I will report it to the official family when I go back, and there should be no problem in the future."

Chen Lin dared to say this because what he got next was far greater than these, and he must have told it to the official family, and the official family would not refuse.

After all, after a year, just the silver taels subsidized to the secret spy department once gave the official family a headache, and now this problem is about to be solved, so any problem can be discussed.

Chen Lin agreed to the first two conditions, and then smiled with Su Shi and put forward the second condition. "To tell the truth, I am personally very relieved that the silk cloth business will be handed over to Zhongguan Chen, and the price of the sale to the outside world can be completely decided by Zhongguan Chen. But what the real selling price is, it also involves some of my interests, and I want to know it in my heart. Coincidentally, during this time in Zhending Mansion, I chatted with Commander Meng about speculation, in fact, this silk cloth business was also his idea for me, so Zhongguan Chen bothered to see if he could transfer him back to Jingshi, mainly to be responsible for this matter, so I can be completely relieved, haha. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
