Chapter 48: The Bitter Meat Scheme
Lu Qingyun was naturally moved by Chen Ze's sincere attitude, and immediately began to arrange it.
However, Lu Qingyun must be too busy to work alone, so Chen Ze temporarily asked Zhao Ziyun to transfer all the spies to assist Lu Qingyun.
Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to find something for them to do.
Don't let the work be in vain, increase the salary!
Send all the talents Lu Qingyun needs to Qingzhou as soon as possible.
Of course, after this group of people is gathered, they will definitely not be able to let the family generate electricity for love!
It's not that you have to pay a salary, and you can't pay less of it.
Not only that, you have to make people feel sincere!
This must not arrange a house and a carriage or anything like that?
Think about it again, another big expense.
The palace will definitely not give it, and Chen Ze has not expected it.
Better do it than wish it done.
Chen Ze has been thinking about how to make money since he crossed over.
It's full of ideas.
For example, in sugar production, Chen Ze knows that it is a filtration method, but he doesn't know how it is filtered.
For high liquor, Chen Ze also knew that it was distilled and purified, but he couldn't remember the specific steps clearly.
Cement, soap, perfume, etc......
No one reminded me before the crossing!
Otherwise, it will be more troublesome to make up for the evil and then cross it.
Now it's just a concept.
Still, it's not a big problem.
Chen Ze is ready to gather craftsmen from all walks of life.
For example, those who know how to make sugar should gather together, inform their ideas, and work together to make brown and white sugar.
And so on.
The creativity and imagination of our ancestors are extremely strong!
Of course, Chen Ze didn't plan to do these things himself, otherwise he would have died young.
Therefore, government affairs and the like need a think tank, and the business side also needs teamwork.
As soon as I arranged my work, I returned to Qin Boyang's house for dinner, but when I entered the door, I saw that Qin Boyang had returned.
Chen Ze laughed, and went up to give Qin Boyang a hug: "You can be regarded as back!" ”
"I'm worried about my brother." Qin Boyang smiled: "I came back after a two-day delay in Hezhou, and I also saw a lot along the way. ”
"Let's eat first, let's talk while eating!"
"Good!"
Qin Boyang only talked about the situation of going to Hezhou these days.
Hezhou Lei Laohu really kept people squatting at the gate of the city to block the Su family's wife, but fortunately, Qin Boyang left a hand, and he took some people into the city to find the Su family, and took the money borrowed by the woman to the Su family master for emergency.
"Then the head of the Su family is going to go to Lei Laohu to repay the money with the money, and I know that something is going to happen when I see it." Qin Boyang said with a smile: "Lei Laohu must be determined to take away the Su family's property and the Su family's young lady, think about it, I have a plan!" ”
Chen Zeyi grinned: "Bitter meat plan? ”
"Exactly."
As soon as Chen Ze guessed, he knew that there was a chance that Lei Laohu would raise interest rates on the spot to repay the money in the past, and Qin Boyang also expected this.
So?
can't take the initiative to repay the money, you have to let Lei Laohu ask for it himself, anyway, Lei Laohu didn't see the Su family's wife who went to borrow money come back, and he must feel that the Su family is at the end of the road now.
Sure enough, Lei Laohu immediately brought his thugs to the door to ask for money.
Outside the door, there was a bunch of people eating melons.
The head of the Su family had a desperate expression, begging Lei Laohu for a few more days at the door of his house.
"That's not going to work! You lent me 3,000 taels with a monthly interest of 2.3 cents, and now two months have come, and there are 4,380 taels of interest! ”
Lei Laohu also shook it arrogantly with the IOU: "It's written in black and white!" If you can't come up with the money, you can use your ancestral house to pay off the debt! I have to let your daughter go to my house and be a maid for me for a year! ”
The head of the Su family still looked desperate: "Four thousand three hundred and eighty taels!?" ”
"Why, you still want to pay the bill!?" Lei Laohu smiled fiercely: "Otherwise, I will take you to the official!" ”
"It's really four thousand three hundred and eighty taels!?"
"One point is not much, one point is not much, it is four thousand three hundred and eighty taels!"
With a grief-stricken face, the head of the Su family stretched out his hand and took it out of his pocket...... A handful of silver tickets and a money bag.
"Four thousand three hundred and eighty taels, one cent is not much, one point is not much."
"Young Master Lei, you take it...... We're clear. ”
“……”
Lei Laohu froze in place, and the head of the Su family was quick to take the IOU and tear it up on the spot.
"Young Master Lei, it's better to leave."
“……”
That's the way it is, although Chen Ze had already guessed the process, he couldn't help but pat the table and laugh: "Then Lei Laohu's eyes are probably much clearer, right?" ”
Qin Boyang grinned: "I just watched the thunder tiger's face from hideous to gradually confused in the crowd, and I still remember it vividly." ”
Li Yuankang listened to it next to him, and he couldn't help but worry after the music: "Isn't this a joke about the thunder tiger?" ”
"Look at what you're saying." Chen Ze said angrily: "It seems that if you don't play that thunder tiger, you will let the Su family go!" ”
Li Yuankang heard it: "Ah...... This, this is also true. ”
Qin Boyang said: "This matter should have been Lei Laohu's calculation from beginning to end, the Su family is in the cloth business, and a large order was made in the first two months, but the goods were robbed halfway, causing the Su family to have to return the deposit, and the cloth merchants in Hezhou did not dare to borrow money, since they were threatened by Lei Laohu, so at this point, the goods were robbed halfway Nine times out of ten Lei Laohu did it." ”
Chen Ze snorted coldly: "Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!" ”
On the contrary, Li Yuankang and Qin Boyang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Young Master, who is Sima Zhao?"
"Who do you think he is? Anyway, who did this, in fact, everyone knows it. ”
"Exactly." Qin Boyang said: "Although the Su family breathed a sigh of relief, who knows what Lei Laohu's calculations will be next time?" The Su family can only ask for more blessings. ”
"However, it is the young lady of the Su family who is really good-looking, and now she is fourteen years old, and she is called a water spirit, and she is knowledgeable and courteous, and even dabbles in poetry."
"Brother Xian, you are not married now, it is better to ......"
Before Chen Ze could speak, Li Yuankang hurriedly said: "No, no!" ”
"Huh? Why not? ”
"Young master, he likes to be old......"
Seeing that Chen Zedu raised his hand, Li Yuankang hurriedly closed his mouth.
"You talk a lot!"
Chen Ze glared at Li Yuankang, turned his head to Qin Boyang and said, "The marriage family already has an idea, so don't worry about Brother Boyang." ”
Qin Boyang smiled and changed the subject: "I talked to the head of the Su family about a lot of things about the cloth business in Hezhou, is the virtuous brother interested in listening to it?" ”
Chen Zeyi waved his hand: "No, the cloth business is originally a pillar industry in Hezhou, and it is also related to the annual offering, don't participate." ”
Speaking of the annual offering, it means that the Great Chu court has to make offerings to the Jin State and the Liao State, and there is cloth among the offerings.
Chen Ze felt panicked on his face when he heard this.
Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will make the offering become a tribute!
is still the same sentence, it is one thing to do it or not, but the integrity of our Chinese descendants cannot be lost!
