Chapter 50: Deliberation
"Zitong, let's be more detailed. ”
"Hmm. Zitong said: "Zhao Zhizhou has been an official in Caozhou for many years, although there are also chickens and dogs in the territory, the overall peace and prosperity are still peaceful, and he will be promoted to the prefect in another year, at this time he will definitely please many prefect ladies, buy some fine silk and give them to them, and let them say a few good words in front of the prefect for him." If the eldest brother raises the silk business by one percent at this time, he will indirectly make Zhao Zhizhou's money and slap him in the face, as the so-called killing two birds with one stone, he will definitely come to you to ask for the price to be lowered, and then your opportunity to rectify him will come?"
Yunqi groaned and said, "This plan is good, but it also offends my customers, if they ask, what should I do?"
"Big brother, you just said that there has been a shortage of silk recently, the supply exceeds demand, and the price has been raised, and we can only reluctantly increase it by one percent, so we can stop their mouths. ”
"Jeju is so close to Soju, what if they go there to pick up the goods, isn't this lie exposed?"
"This is simple, when I send people to Jeju, no, not only Jeju, but several nearby states and counties have spread the news, saying that recently there are foreign businessmen who have ordered a large number of my Daming silk, and there is a situation where the supply exceeds demand, and the above has begun to increase the price, so that the nearby states and counties will definitely increase the price. At this time, our people came out to say good things for your eldest brother, and said that Yunqi, a businessman in Caozhou, said that no matter how much the price was raised, for the sake of old customers, he would rather make less money and only add one percent of the price. Zitong said and smiled: "In this way, big brother, not only will you lose your reputation, but you can also make a lot of money, of course, mainly for the rectification of Zhao Zhizhou, what do you think of this plan?"
Yunqi smiled bitterly: "There is only one bad thing. ”
"Which point?"
"There is always a time when the lie is exposed, and when they know about it, won't they want to trouble me?"
"That's not going to happen, you can say that you don't know, and you're also a victim, so it's a big deal to get a preferential policy, and as soon as they are happy, there will be nothing left. ”
"This ......," Yun Qi thought for a moment, "It's okay." ”
"Big brother, Zitong's plan is very good, I want to add some more materials on the original basis, how about it?"
Seeing that it was Shen Tong who spoke, Yunqi knew that he was a ghost, and couldn't help but smile: "Let's hear it." Shen Tong also smiled: "I also sent people to nearby states and counties to spread the news, just say that the increase in the price of silk came from the mouth of one of Zhao Zhizhou's wives and concubines' own brothers, and let Zhao Zhizhou swallow it himself when the time comes!"
What he said may be too profound, everyone didn't understand it for a while, and Yunqi only felt a little interesting in the haze, so he said: "Shen Tong, put it plainly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well at night." ”
Shen Tong took a sip of the teacup, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "From Zhao Zhizhou's brother-in-law's mouth, what does it mean to guess this?"
"You Shen Tong is still playing dumb riddles. Yunqi smiled dumbly: "Okay, I'll guess!"
The index finger of his right hand was hooked and put on his forehead, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, suddenly opened his eyes again, and said in a lost voice: "Zhao Zhizhou is also secretly doing silk business. ”
Shen Tong stilted his right thumb: "Big brother, it's really good, one guess is accurate." ”
"But ......" Yunqi frowned: "Everyone knows that the silk business in Caozhou has always been done by me alone!"
"I'm good at this. ”
"Oh?"
"What if Zhao Zhizhou is your partner?"
"This ...... How is this possible? Some time ago I rejected his proposal to Mo'er. ”
"Of course not. Shen Daodao: "But I can let others see that he is your partner." ”
"Huh?"
"After Zitong and I finish spreading the news, the eldest brother may wish to go to the yamen more in a few days. ”
"What are you going to do with the Yamen?"
"Whatever you do, big brother, but you must smile when you come out, and most importantly, let more people see it. ”
Yunqi suddenly realized: "You mean to let others mistakenly think that he is my partner?"
"Yes, that's what I meant. ”
"It's a bit ...... ploy"
"It's a bit poisonous, isn't it?" Shen Tong smiled: "I'm just going to put him to death, the Ming Dynasty law says that officials can't do business, just this one, he's finished." ”
"But he's not in business after all?"
"If everyone else says that, there will be some suspicions above, and once it is checked, won't his future be ruined?"
"It's a brilliant plan. Yunqi said with a smile: "If the prefect's wife heard that he was a silk wholesaler in Caozhou, he would definitely introduce other sisters to buy from him, of course he can't refuse, and he can't also increase the price like me, at most sell it to them at the original price, so hahaha...... I can only keep a bitter face, counting less and less silver every day. ”
When Zitong heard this, he couldn't help but say: "It's better than Shen Tong, your idea is good, not only did you slap him in the face, but also made him feel bitter and couldn't speak, it was really wonderful and poisonous enough." ”
"Where, if you hadn't proposed to use the big brother's business as bait first, I wouldn't have come up with this idea to kill me, so in the final analysis, you are the better. ”
"Don't be modest, you two. Yunqi said: "It's all powerful, I Yunqi really didn't see the wrong person." ”
Zitong and Shen Tong looked at each other and smiled, and hugged Yun Qi: "Brother Xie appreciates." ”
"Hmm. Yun Qi glanced at the two of them, and then turned to the others: "I wonder if everyone here has any opinions?"
"I think Zitong and Shen Tong's proposal is good. ”
"It's not bad, it's just perfect. ”
"That's it. ”
“............”
All of a sudden, everyone began to talk about it.
The audience said that Yunqi could basically make up his mind, that is, to take Zitong and Shen Tong's suggestions.
However, he looked at Xiao Feng and smiled indifferently: "I wonder if Shaoxia has a better proposal?"
Xiao Feng said: "Uncle's subordinates are all wizards like Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and my opinions will be dwarfed if they are taken out, so don't mention them." ”
"Young man, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I'm sorry I forgot about it. ”
"I'll go, can I forget this?" looked at everyone's eyes, as if they wanted to slap Xiao Feng directly.
Yun Mo also looked at Xiao Feng incredulously, originally asked him to come to the house to give himself ideas and help deal with Zhao Zhizhou, but he didn't expect him to suddenly make such a sentence, didn't this tell his father and mother that he led a fool in the family? Thinking of this, she was embarrassed and embarrassed, this face was simply embarrassed, and she threw it directly to her grandmother's house, uh, wrong, it was her mother's house.
