Chapter 317: Mention

This really surprised Xie Xiuwen, a person of Song Yi's age, can he still meet a woman who will marry him as soon as they meet?

Song Yi had no intention of saying more, and Xie Xiuwen didn't want to ask any more.

"My brother and sister are good wives, and now that you have a son under your knees, you still don't want to let down your brother and sister."

Song Yi had a helpless expression: "This is really wronging me!" I later learned that the girl was forced to marry by the head of the family, but she had a strong personality, saying that she would marry a chicken or a dog and not marry the one arranged by the family. ”

This is also speechless.

Xie Xiuwen heard him say that everything was settled, and people knew that he had a wife, so they naturally didn't want to marry him as a child, not to mention that when they heard that he was a businessman, they were even more unwilling.

In this way, Song Yi felt that he should be grateful for the business status that the dignitaries looked down on.

"This is a border trade disc."

Song Yi was really shocked when he saw this thing.

Although he had just arrived, he also knew that this thing cost 220,000 taels of silver a piece, and there was no way to get the silver.

"Thanks, Lord Xie?"

"This official handed over this document to you, not for free, 100,000 taels of silver, are you willing to take it?"

Song Yi blinked, and his mind quickly turned: "Willing!" 100,000 taels of silver, my Song family can still afford it. ”

"Okay, listen carefully, this disc is 100,000 taels for you, and there are still other requirements."

"Lord Xie, please command, but whatever my Song family can do, I will do my best!"

Xie Xiuwen handed him a copy of the document, which also listed a lot of details.

"Border trade, the main thing is to exchange what you have. But not everybody wants to see that we actually get something good. Now the saint is more concerned about the matter of grain planting. This official has heard that there are a lot of crops in the Western Regions, which we do not have. I hope that while you are doing business, you will bring back the seeds of these strange things. Of course, we don't want to bring back poisonous weed poison, mainly some good things that can feed the people. ”

Song Yi understood that this was for them to use the excuse of doing business to help the court do things.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to collect more than 200,000 taels from others, and only 100,000 taels from him.

"This thing is easy to do, don't worry, Lord Xie, the small one will do his best, but this kind of thing can't be done overnight, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to wait."

"This doesn't hurt, the imperial court will also send envoys from Honglu Temple to lobby in various countries first, but the imperial court naturally has its own ideas. For example, this silk is unique to us in Dazhi, and we can sell it to the countries of the Western Regions, but we won't tell them how this thing is made. Therefore, this is also the reason why this responsibility is entrusted to you. ”

If you don't want to spread the things, then other countries naturally don't want outsiders to know about them, which is to have their own careful thoughts.

"The grass people understand, you can rest assured, this matter must be handled as an important matter, and they will try to avoid the eyes and ears of the other party's government."

"That's very good. There are also some medicinal herbs that you can buy back, and then take the opportunity and channel of purchase to test whether you can get seeds or seedlings, if you can have a detailed cultivation manual, it is naturally better. ”

"The grass people must do their best."

"This matter is a secret of the imperial court, and if you go out from this official, no fourth person will know, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Lord Xie."

Song Yi paused, and said with a puzzled face: "The fourth person? ”

Seeing his reaction, Xie Xiuwen burst into laughter: "There is another one who is naturally ......."

Xie Xiuwen didn't say anything, but with an arch of his hands, he shook twice in the direction of the capital, and at the same time raised his chin and glanced up with his eyes.

In this way, Song Yi naturally understood.

Now, I'm even more excited!

This is an errand for the emperor!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed.

What is 100,000 taels of silver?

What is the profit from a few more years of trade?

Thinking that he is directly serving the saints, this is all a matter of glory to the ancestors!

"As long as you do a good job, it is possible to become an imperial merchant in the future."

They are all merchants, and this imperial merchant is very different from ordinary merchants!

The imperial merchant is graded, although there is no imperial court to receive, but the key is that this is an honor!

At least, it's also an official body, and you don't have to kneel anymore.

"Thank you so much, the grass people will definitely serve Lord Xie for the dogs and horses!"

Xie Xiuwen chatted with Song Yi about some business and trade matters, and repeatedly told him that because the Song family should be the weakest in getting the discs this time, so don't make a noise, don't show off, if you can find a merchant in Fucheng who can cooperate, or if you have a strong backer in Fucheng, it is the safest.

Song Yi also understands that the Song family is naturally second to none in Gaoyang County, but looking at the whole country, it is really not enough.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Xie Xiuwen shook his head: "You have to find it yourself, and what I want you to do, you have to do it." Don't expect this official either, this official is about to return to Beijing, and in this territory, this official may not be able to help you. ”

Song Yi suddenly became serious, Xie Xiuwen is a Beijing official, although the grade is high, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, so Lord Xie is reminding him that there are benefits, and the Song family cannot be monopolized, let alone the Song family, in this way, it is too eye-catching.

The villain understood. I heard that the Lu family has a relative who is also a wealthy merchant in Fucheng? ”

There was a temptation in these words, and Xie Xiuwen shook his head directly: "No." You often walk around Fucheng, and you should know better than me that their family is already going downhill, and their character is not very good. If you want me to give you one suggestion, it is to find two or three families that don't seem to have a strong momentum, but have a strong family background, you can eat meat, and let them drink soup. ”

Song Yi was stunned, which means that you can find a few companies that are not as strong as the Song family, and if you find a few more, it will make this interest more dispersed, and everyone can have more backers?

But can he?

Xie Xiuwen said slowly: "I heard that the Su family and the Ma family are good, and there are relatives in the court as officials, this is always the way." Of course, you can also check out other businesses. ”

"Thank you for your advice."

Song Yi suddenly understood that he didn't need to let others know if he had a backer, just the fact that he could get the disc was enough for them to guess.

After all, the whole city is only in his hands.

Even if he doesn't say anything, others will only think that there is a big Buddha sitting behind him.

Of course, he also understands Xie Xiuwen's character, so he won't act recklessly outside under his guise.

Song Yi understood this, and he knew who to find to cooperate.
