Chapter 45: Loosen your mouth

Gu Zongmin was stunned for a moment, he looked at Ran Fang hesitantly, and there was some worry in his heart.

He doesn't want half of the Gu family's property, so what else can he give him?

But if this thing can't be done, then the Gu family's industry will be over.

He was in his heart, even if Ran Fang wanted to take care of all the family's property, he would admit it!

"What does the gentleman want?"

Seeing that Ran Fang was so faceless, Gu Siyuan, who was standing behind Gu Zongmin, was suddenly furious.

When he saw Ran Fang's salt just now, he was really shocked, but even if it was, it couldn't be so insulting!

And his father had already given in and gave him half of the Gu family's property, but he didn't expect him to have such a big appetite and want all the Gu family's property.

I have to say that the thoughts of father and son are surprisingly consistent.

"What a big breath! You ......"

"Shut up!" Gu Zongmin scolded sharply and interrupted Gu Siyuan's words, "Apologize to Mr." ”

"I ......" The anger on Gu Siyuan's face did not subside, but he had to bow his head and said perfunctorily: "Sir, I know that I am wrong." ”

Seeing this, Gu Zongmin's already embarrassed look was even more embarrassed now.

He apologized to Ran Fang and said, "If Mr. is willing, then all the property of the Gu family is also willing to be dedicated to Mr." ”

"I hope that with the 100% sincerity of the Gu family, I can ask Mr. to help the Gu family, and in the future, the Gu family will go to the soup for Mr."

Ran Fang raised his hand slightly, interrupting him.

Those things of the Gu family, that is also the Gu family's industry.

Since Gu Zongmin said that now the imperial court wants to monopolize salt and iron, then he naturally wants to do business with the imperial court, and this Gu family is just bait released by the imperial court.

He flicked his fingers casually, and said lightly: "The Gu family master is wrong, the Gu family has only worked hard in Xianyang City for generations, if I snatch love with a knife, it will not be difficult for a strong man." ”

"I want a share, thirty percent of all the profits from the sale of this refined salt in the future."

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and anyone could see the profits, so they gave Ran Fang three percent, that ...... How could His Majesty agree?

Gu Zongmin's face was a little embarrassed, he pondered for a moment, and then explained: "Sir, I'm afraid this matter is ...... Some are embarrassed. ”

If it was the Gu family's business, then Gu Zongmin would be willing to share it with Ran Fang, but he couldn't do it this time.

was rejected, which was also expected by Ran Fang.

He didn't worry at all, just took the salt jar, gently rubbed the salt with his hand, and said softly: "The value of this refined salt, I think you also know." ”

"Whoever this salt falls into, it's a good thing for me."

"If you agree to my terms, I might be willing to consider it."

The meaning of this is obvious, if they are not willing to agree, then he will never hand over this salt party, and he will not even mind cooperating with others.

"This ......" Gu Zongmin's expression froze, he didn't dare to make a decision on such a big matter, he glanced at Zhang Han beside him, and both of them were embarrassed in their eyes.

"Sir, the Gu family is only cooperating with the imperial court, and the Gu family can't be the master of this matter."

"If Mr. is willing, the Gu family can let eighty percent of the profits, but the refined salt business is a little ......."

Gu Zongmin didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already very clear.

Ran Fang looked at him, without the slightest intention of speaking.

It could also be seen from the expression on his face that Ran Fang did not agree to this condition.

Seeing this, Gu Zongmin glanced at Zhang Han, arched his hand at Ran Fang and said, "Sir, can we wait for us to go back and discuss this matter, and come back tomorrow to give Mr. an answer?" ”

Ran Fang nodded and said softly, "Yes." ”

……

Xianyang Palace.

The group came out of Xianyang Prison and came to Xianyang Palace without stopping.

Wang Juan stood in the center of the main hall and told Ying Zheng about what happened in Xianyang Prison today, especially the request made by Na Ran Fang.

And the father and son of the Gu family knelt behind him, bowing their heads and not daring to glance at Ying Zheng on the high platform, for fear that Ran Fang's words would anger His Majesty, and then anger them.

What they didn't expect was that after listening to Wang Juan's words, His Majesty was not angry.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and sat on the high platform, with Ran Fang's jar of salt on the table.

After listening to Wang Juan's words, the expression on his face paused, and recently returned to normal.

It's completely different from what they imagined.

"What do you think about this?"

Zhang Han is the main person in charge of this matter, and he is the most qualified to answer this matter.

He bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be considered in the long run. ”

"But because of this, if thirty percent of the profits are given to Ran Fang, then ...... It's a bit too much. ”

These words are decent.

The importance of that salt was said, but it was obvious that Zhang Han didn't think that he could give Ran Fang such a big profit.

In this way, the court can get a lot less after all.

But Wang Juan did not agree with these words, he stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Zhang's words are a little inappropriate. ”

"It was Ran Fang who proposed the monopoly of salt and iron at the beginning, how much benefit did this matter make for Daqin? Now the refined salt has been researched, which is a move to benefit the common people. ”

"He has never done anything for his own good, and now he has made such a small request, and the minister thinks that it is justified."

Hearing this, a touch of relief appeared on Ying Zheng's face, Wang Juan has always been fair, and what he said is indeed pertinent.

"Then according to Qing's words, these three percent of the profits will be given to Ran Fang."

After speaking, he looked at the Gu family father and son who were kneeling there, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Zongmin." ”

Being named by His Majesty, Gu Zongmin immediately knelt up straight, and replied very reverently and respectfully: "The grass people are here." ”

Ying Zheng glanced at Gu Zongmin, but there was no turmoil in his heart.

Ran Fang's staring at the Gu family's property was just because the Gu family's previous attitude was not good, and now he gave out Sancheng Li to get the method of refining refined salt, which seemed to be a loss, but in fact it was also earned.

"Gu Zongmin, this matter of refining refined salt will be left to your Gu family."

Hearing this, Gu Zongmin was overjoyed in his heart!

He was also worried before, afraid that Ying Zheng would cancel his salt production if he knew that he had almost done something wrong.

I didn't think that this matter would end up on my head!

But in the next second, Ying Zheng poured a basin of cold water on Gu Zongmin's head.

"I'll leave the matter of refining refined salt to you, but there are still rules to be had!"

"If I hear from other places that your Gu family has neglected Ran Fang, and in the end you have to clean up the court for you, then I won't have any hard work."

Gu Zongmin, who heard this, was shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Caomin, I know!" ”
