It doesn't matter, he has seen a lot of businessmen who can't afford to be unprofitable.

On the green river where they watched the sun, they passed several times a day.

In this way, he has not dealt with it.

After Lu Xu finished erecting righteousness, he gave them the example of the northern trade route, which was so barren that it was prosperous all the way, and all the merchants involved made a fortune, which is convincing enough, right?

It doesn't matter if you don't see it, you don't believe it.

He could settle a new account for them.

"Have you ever wondered what is the biggest difference between outside the customs and inside the customs only in terms of buying and selling?"

Several people were still digesting the business route he said, and they all looked at Lu Xu in confusion and shock.

Lu Xu: "Meat! There is a shortage of meat inside the customs and a shortage of food outside the customs! ”

He put on a "Are you stupid" expression, "Didn't I just give an example?" I started by selling mutton! The answer to the mystery is on the riddle, I said it was so straightforward, why are you so ...... Ahem......"

He reorganized his expression and collected the deep doubts of "how did you get to this position": "Isn't trade just to transport more from this side to the side where it is lacking, and then transport more from there to the side that is in need?" Move more than enough, make up for the shortage, make the difference, understand? ”

Crowd: "......"

Some of them have children who are about the same age as Lu Xu, why should they be taught such a simple truth by Lu Xu?

Don't they understand?

No one knows better than they do!

If they don't understand this, can they venture out into business outside the border?

Everyone is a human spirit, who doesn't understand the meaning of Lu Xu's words, doesn't he just want them to sell mutton to the customs for him, and then buy grain from the customs and sell it outside the customs?

The question is, why did they sell meat and buy food for Lu Xu?

Whatever it is, the manpower and material resources required are not comparable to what they do today.

Move more than enough, make up for the shortage, and make the difference.

Isn't it the same thing that they exchange gold and silver for gems from the barbarians, and then sell them to Kannai?

If it weren't for the fact that they were restricted by the merchant ranks, they would have been able to sell the barbarians' gold, silver, and jewelry to the south! Farther than the capital!

Seeing their eyes glaring at each other and communicating non-stop, Lu Xu drank tea leisurely, and when they thought of enough reasons, he took the lead in speaking, "Oh yes, there is something I almost forgot to tell you, the DPRK and China have granted a concession to trade in Beiting County, and the merchant level remains the same, you are a small businessman, or a small businessman, a Chinese businessman or a Chinese businessman." ”

Everyone: "......"

Li County was stunned.

How much risk did they take with Su Lingzhong, and it took more than half a year to tell Wohu Pass and the nearby counties to turn a blind eye, not counting these small merchants across counties, only counting their collapse of the county, all according to the Chinese businessmen, and paying the tax amount of the Chinese businessmen.

Did the imperial court open a back door to Beiting County like this?

A businessman who was originally a small businessman immediately asked: "What do you mean, my lord, I have to pass through four county towns from my hometown to Beiting County, and I can also be regarded as a small businessman?" ”

Lu Xu: "Yes, and you don't have to pay city fees and miscellaneous taxes in Beiting County, you have to pay taxes in Beiting County according to the new commercial tax law, that is, one-tenth of the profits. How many entrance fees and miscellaneous taxes did you pay on the way, ask them to go to the county government to open a note, and our county government will supplement you. ”

Everyone fell silent again, and began to silently and frantically settle accounts, one by one, bosses, eager to call their own account offices to calculate whether it was worth it.

Lu Xu: "I asked you to transport grain and sell sheep, and I didn't let you sell only these, you can continue to sell what you want to sell, if you want to exchange something from the barbarians, and you are afraid that it will not be safe to go, you can find me, I will contact you for you, or exchange for you, you can do it, just give me a little profit, you can think about it?" ”

"Oh, also, for the safety of the lives and property of the people of Daqi, our Beiting County will invite the imperial court, the county guard, and unite the entire counties of Dingbei County and the Tiger Ben Army to crack down on illegal black merchants and black markets."

Li County Order: ???

Black Traders: ???!!!

Li Xianling couldn't help but slander, how could he not know, this is made up, right?!

Lu Xu was heartbroken: "We are going to set up more bazaars soon, and if we don't go to so many official bazaars, we have to secretly exchange things with the barbarians, are the barbarians not fierce enough?" Is there less wolves in the Northwest? Why risk your life?! Lord Li, I think that if you catch such a warrior who is not afraid of barbarians, you should send it to the Tiger Ben Army, I heard that General Wei and Bai Fengbu have not finished fighting, and there is a shortage of people over there. ”

Li County Order: "......"

Black Traders: "......"

Lu Xu's words changed: "Of course, I mean those black businessmen who want money and don't want to die, not everyone. ”

Black merchants, forbearance.

Someone asked, "If I don't want to wait......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Lu Xu immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, how can you force it to do business?" ”

The man was just about to nod, but he heard Lu Xu say again: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, Daqi is so big, some people are willing." ”

The businessman who had just been proud for less than a second: "......"

Lu Xu: "Don't worry, what I just said can be realized, I can't do such a little thing, how can I be an imperial businessman?" You say yes, right? ”

The expressions of the crowd were different.

Looking at Lu Xu's bright, innocent and harmless smile, many people held back their sulk.

For a while, he kicked them out if he didn't agree, and if he agreed, he had to follow his rules, honestly trade, pay taxes, and transport grain under the supervision of the government......

They looked at Lu Xu again, and couldn't help gritting their teeth, and said in their hearts that it was no wonder that he could be an imperial merchant at such a young age, I am afraid that the skin on his body is white, and his stomach is blacker and more ruthless than them.

The one who secretly traded with the barbarians the most, and immediately threw out another problem: "My lord doesn't know, it's not easy for us to wait for us to enter and exit the customs, and the Crouching Tiger Pass ......."

He pretended not to dare and was embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Crouching Tiger Pass always wants to detain me and other things." ”

The others also chimed in: "Exactly, it is easy to say otherwise, if it is to transport grain, they will only withhold more!" ”

Lu Xu smiled: "It's okay, let them deduct it, it's still the same sentence, where did you pass along the way and pay how much entry and exit fees, let the government write you a note, how much they deduct you, I will make up for you." ”

"Crouching Tiger Pass too?"

Lu Xu: "It's the same. ”

"And if they don't give you a bill?"

Lu Xu: "Then you will leave people to take care of things in the pass, send two people to Beiting County to tell me, you don't have to take care of the rest, I will communicate with Crouching Tiger Pass for you." If I don't come back, I'll pay for the food I bought. ”

Several people glanced at each other: "What the adults said is true?" ”

Lu Xu: "Seriously, I will do what I say. ”

Some of the more than 20 businessmen were happy and some were worried, and some didn't know what they were thinking, so Lu Xu told them to go back and think about it again, and give him an answer early tomorrow morning.

After they left, Li Xianling said in his heart: "Those small merchants are easy to say, but those big merchants, I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you." ”

Lu Xu: "I know. ”

Small merchants have nothing to think about, he can ensure that they still pay taxes according to the level of small merchants, and they will save a lot of tax money at once.

Saving is earning, how much risk do they have to take to make so much money, according to Lu Xu's method, making a little money casually a year is also more cost-effective than before.

As for the medium-sized businessman with a big business, he has to carefully calculate whether it is cost-effective or not.

It doesn't matter if they don't like Lu Xu, when he spreads the trade road, the merchants with more strength and ambition in the counties farther away in the Guannai will definitely come. It is more tempting to pay the tax of Chinese businessmen and do business of large businessmen than to pay tax to small businessmen and do business of Chinese businessmen.

If he were them, when he heard the news, he would have to hurry up and tie up with their Beiting County and him, the imperial businessman, and strive to seize an opportunity, instead of arguing with him and fighting for this territory.

If they are reluctant to do business outside the Guan, it doesn't matter if they want to embarrass him in order to vent their anger, it is nothing more than secretly smuggling, secretly trading with barbarians, and letting the barbarians who are good friends with them trouble him, or using the matter of Crouching Tiger Pass to detain goods, make a large sum of money, ask him to make up for it, see how much he can make up, and provoke the relationship between him and the Tiger Ben Army.

Lu Xu is not afraid, the former he has the capital and Beiting County as a backup, and the official post as an invisible caravan, they may not be able to compete with him in terms of goods or price, they treat the barbarians as wronged people to make huge profits, and they are not stupid.

The latter......

The more Crouching Tiger passes, the better he can negotiate with the Tiger Benjun, and it doesn't matter if he can't negotiate, he can also ask Jun Qi to join them, and ask Lu Zhou to find Jiang Hao to find Fan Xiao to complain.

There are too few deductions, and it seems that they are making a big fuss.

Come on, come on, work hard, get some more food!

The author has something to say:

Lu Xu: Hey, I have thick thighs, and I still have a backstage~

Chapter 291: Broken Fruit

As expected, the next morning, eight small merchants went to the post station early to look for Lu Xu.

In order to show their sincerity, they also brought Lu Xu some coarse grains in their stock, which were used to book a batch of meat with Lu Xu, and what Lu Xu brought yesterday was exchanged in the county seat.

Lu Xu happily wrote them an IOU, "If you don't return to Guannei recently, I will send it to you within ten days." ”

Xiao Shang: "Don't worry, we are waiting for adults in the city." ”

Li County Commander is a good official, Li County Commander is polite to Lu Xu, and Lu Xu will not cheat them about that little food.

They don't expect Lu Xu to reciprocate, they just want to brush his name in front of Lu Xu.

Lu Xu also knew that it was not easy to run a business, so he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he left these people to eat together.

There are not so many tiger soldiers living in the post station, they are all camped in the county government and the nearby open space, and they have made breakfast, Xiong Kun and the four of them went to bring it back, and brought one to Lu Xu by the way.

Lamb soup soaked cakes, at Lu Xu's insistence, then put some vegetables in it, poured seasonings on the scalded vegetables, mixed well, and counted as a cold salad of wild vegetables.

Supplement with a little bit of vitamins.

There were eight more people to eat, Xiong Kun and the others took the basin to serve a meal, and Lu Xu entertained them to chat while eating, "You're welcome, sit casually, eat casually, it's not enough outside." ”

Lu Xu handed them cakes one by one, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of yesterday's scaring posture.

A few people took the bread and ate it, and it was not okay not to eat it.

Especially if you are used to getting up early and have already eaten, do you eat or not?

Lu Xu had already started to make cakes by himself.

This cake was made by them two days ago, the group of tiger ben soldiers have rough skin and thick meat, all of them have iron stomachs, in order to save firewood, there is no hot cake, this cake is hard and dry, and it will take a lot of effort for Lu Xu to break it at this time.

Lu Xu tried to be quiet in front of the guests, but soon, he gave up, broke the cake into a large piece that could be stuffed into a bowl, stuffed it into the soup, pressed it down with chopsticks, and waited for the soup to soak the cake while beckoning everyone to eat.

Others: "......"

Is this thing so heroic?

The most Sven one tried to bite directly, but Lu Xu said kindly: "It's cold, you can't bite it, or I will ask them to take a knife and cut it for you?" ”

Everyone hurriedly said politely: "No, no." ”
