Xie Xiuwen and his entourage successfully arrived in Jiangnan, and the local officials had to arrange one or two large-scale banquets, which could be regarded as respect for Shangguan.

In addition, the famous families in the local area will also take the initiative to hand over the posters, not to say that they are inviting Lord Xie to have a meal, that is, they can appreciate their faces, and they are also happy.

A few days later, Xie Xiuwen was finally able to calm down for a while.

"Shiro, you take people to the busiest street here for two turns, don't take the initiative to mention my name, but you don't need to be low-key."

"Yes, Second Uncle."

Xie Xiuwen did not see any guests for three days in a row, which naturally attracted the local officials and the heads of the big families to be extremely anxious.

It wasn't until Thorn Shi repeatedly asked to see him that Xie Xiuwen reluctantly showed up.

"Master Xie, the purpose of your trip, we all know it. This is to build a government, naturally the court will pay for the silver, but if you build a pagoda, several of our squires in Jiangnan are also willing to contribute, you see? ”

"Just a contribution?"

Hearing this, Thorn Shi knew what he meant, and immediately said: "Naturally, I am willing to contribute money and efforts." This is the roster that these squires have taken the initiative to raise, and please take a look. ”

Xie Xiuwen took it and flipped through it carefully, the list was very long, ranging from one hundred taels to ten thousand taels, which can be said to be quite detailed.

In the end, the total amount was as high as 93,000 taels.

This number is not low.

If you just build an ordinary stupa, there is still a surplus of these coins.

"Yes, your ability to do things is really first-class."

Hearing this, Thorn Shi immediately bowed his hand and said humbly: "It's still thanks to the adult's care." ”

Xie Xiuwen didn't make any more false promises with him, the other party was so sensible, he couldn't play tricks on others anymore, and he was also a stabbing historian.

"These days, I close my door, and it's also a helpless move."

Xie Xiuwen's words fell, he casually pointed to the two stacks of stickers on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Look, there are so many famous stickers, which one do you say I see is appropriate?" For the sake of fairness, the official simply didn't see any of them, and it saved someone from saying that I had secretly taken advantage of it. ”

"What Master Xie said is true, but you have always been an honest official, and everyone under us knows that you will definitely not talk nonsense."

"These 93,000 taels are indeed not a decimal number, and this matter will be truthfully revealed to the saints. It's just that the official also knows that they are coming for the things in the hands of the officials, but there are a number of them. ”

Xie Xiuwen said, glanced at the post over there and said: "Jiangnan is rich, and there are many squires, but I'm afraid this is not enough." ”

Assassin Shi was already very happy to see that he was willing to take the initiative to mention those discs.

"What the lord said is, in the opinion of the lower officials, why don't they quote their own price first?"

This is also a temptation for Xie Xiuwen.

Now no one knows whether Xie Xiuwen is raising money for the treasury or just for his own selfish interests.

However, since Lord Xie was able to go through this experience, it was enough to show the saint's trust in him.

Therefore, should the filial piety that should be given be given in the same way?

"This doesn't seem to be appropriate, according to the official's opinion, it's better to simply call them all together, if there is anything to say, let's open it, and save someone from getting this thing by themselves, and then say that I took a bribe in private." We are all on errands for the saint, to put it bluntly, we are all errands, and this official can't let himself be infamous because of an errand. ”

When he heard this, he immediately understood.

"It's still Lord Xie who has thought it through. Then you see, we will call these merchants together the day after tomorrow, what do you think? ”

"Yes."

Xie Rongen is wandering around with people here, look here, look at those over there, but he seems very comfortable.

There are also many people who secretly send people to keep an eye on it, and they also inquired about Xie Rongen's identity early.

Knowing that he was Xie Xiuwen's own nephew or a disciple of General Yun Lu, he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Xie Rongen went out this time, and bought a large amount of silk, jewelry, and some rouge gouache that women love to use at a low price that he couldn't think of.

In the evening, Xie Xiuwen saw that his results were good, so he smiled and said, "I'll go again tomorrow." ”

Xie Rongen was a little surprised: "Still going?" Second uncle, the things I bought back like this are not considered bribes to you, many of them are half bought and half given, I don't think they even have enough purchase price. ”

"It doesn't matter. These merchants are timid, and only if I am willing to take the benefits they give, they are willing to believe that I am an official who can cooperate, and if I do not take any benefits, they should tremble, and these local officials will not be able to sleep well at night. ”

is the way of being an official, which can be regarded as making Xie Xiuwen understand.

"Okay, so I'll change streets tomorrow?"

"Yes, change streets, and remember, if they don't give you any favor, or if they clearly have no intention of pleasing you, then it won't be in vain."

In other words, whoever gives the benefit will buy it.

This is equivalent to Xie Xiuwen giving these merchants a chance to honor him.

In this regard, although Xie Rongen understands his intentions, most people still don't understand.

is like the General Liu who came with him, he didn't understand it very well, he always felt that this Lord Xie had a good official reputation when he was in the capital, why was he so greedy for money and loved to take advantage of small advantages at this time?

On the day of the discussion of the disc, Xie Xiuwen changed into an official uniform, and this majesty naturally rose.

Xie Xiuwen didn't say much, and said very frankly that he only had a total of eight discs in his hand, but this was definitely not given for nothing.

The big guys aren't stupid.

Just imagine, in the first two years of business and trade records, whoever gets this will wait for the family fortune to double!

Whether you want to buy things from other small countries, or you want to sell the treasures in your hands, you can't live without this thing.

"This time there are indeed not many business qualifications, and in the future, even if the imperial court expands the scope of commerce again, this thing will not be put too much. As for the reason, it is inconvenient for this official to say too much, but he can only say that everything is for the sake of my great rule of becoming more and more prosperous, and also to protect the safety of the people in my border city. ”

Thorn Shi understood, but most of the merchants didn't.

In fact, this means that this involves outside the border, and naturally there will be people who want to take advantage of loopholes.

Therefore, it is very likely that there will be fine work.

And with meticulous work, then border defense will be a big problem.

Therefore, the trade discs will not be distributed too much at any time, which is equivalent to guaranteeing the price of the current eight discs, and indirectly telling everyone that it is not too much for you to buy them for how much money you take.

Except for the household officials who traveled with Xie Xiuwen, no one knew how many he had in his hand.

But now that he has said openly that there are only eight, there are only eight.

"My lord, the grass people are not talented, I am willing to give 100,000 taels in exchange for a business disc, and I ask your lord's permission." (End of chapter)
