retaliate

Chapter 195 The blow from the industrial chain

Later, several merchants came to look for Jinqiao.

Chenzhou is very big, which refers to the territory.

Chenzhou is very small, because the business circle is so big.

"Brother Wang, Brother Hong, Brother Lin."

Wang Min's smile was polite and courteous, Hong Yazhi's smile was as gentle as his name, but Lin En looked dissatisfied and anxious.

"You know everything?" Jin Qiao asked someone to get some tea.

Wang Min sat down and moved his buttocks, "Yang Xuan's people just arrived at the old man's place, and they said that at the end of tomorrow, Yang Xuan will say something that is good for us, what does Brother Jin think?"

Jin Qiao looked at the three of them, took a sip from the teacup, and used this action to think of a way to deal with it.

"Without us, Taiping's business would only be that big at most. If you want to expand, you have to wait for those businessmen to get rich slowly. But business opportunities wait for no one, and Lin'an also opened up business opportunities, and Yang Xuan panicked."

Lin En frowned, "What else can he say in such a situation? It's nothing more than saying how good peace is. No matter how good peace is, is there Lin'an who is fed by us?"

Hong Yazhi said indifferently: "Everyone, Lin'an's appetite is too great, but it's difficult for us to feed them. If we change Taiping, we only need to give some money, and we can do whatever we want, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Jin Qiao looked at him, "Brother Hong wants to go to Taiping?"

Hong Yazhi shook his head, "I want to try, if I can buy Yang Xuan off... Think about it, wouldn't it be nice if we go directly to the grassland for trade?"

Lynn's eyes moved slightly, "You can sell whatever you want at that time."

Jin Qiao coughed dryly, "Why don't you...try?"

Hong Yazhi recruited his own people, and ordered in a low voice: "You took two ingots of silver and went to see Yang Xuan, and you said that Yang Xuan was tired all the way, and this is the fare we gave. If he doesn't accept it, you just say... It’s too peaceful and too far away to do business.”

After his people left, Wang Min scolded with a smile: "This excuse for bribery is too vulgar, can't you change it to an elegant one?"

Hong Yazhi shook his head, "It must be vulgar. If he is willing to accept it, we dare to smash it."

"You even threatened him, this is a bit too much." Jin Qiao finished talking, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking extremely comfortable.

"This is a notice. If he doesn't accept it, I'm very sorry. Let's not go to Taiping. Afterwards, businessmen gather here in Lin'an, and Taiping will gradually become lonely."

Lin En said: "How many officials I have experienced, no matter how sanctimonious I usually look, but once I mention money or my future, I will be full of ugliness. No matter how smart a person is, he will be confused, which shows that fame and fortune touch people's hearts."

"Yang Xuan is not stupid, he will naturally agree." Jin Qiao said: "But even if he agrees, we still can't get all the business to Taiping. With a little bit of testing, the big head has to be here in Lin'an."

"This is fishing." Hong Yazhi said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Hahahaha!"

Not long after, Hong Yazhi's entourage came back.

"He confiscated it."

Hong Yazhi felt a little hot on his face, "What did he say?"

"Yang Xuan explained that we will see the outcome tomorrow."

Hong Yazhi smiled to hide his embarrassment, "If that's the case, why don't you go see it tomorrow?"

The crowd nodded.

Lynn said: "Just take it to watch the excitement."

……

"Join the army, those businessmen said that they will go back to see the excitement tomorrow."

"I understand." Han Li nodded, put down the document in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and yawned, "Tired!"

The news also reached Liu Qing.

"It's just a worry."

Liu Qing frowned fiercely, raised his head and asked Lu Qiang, "This old man is always thinking about how to teach the children in the family. Sometimes it seems useful to say the truth, but the child remains the same afterward. After much deliberation, the old man has only one way... ..."

"Hit!" Lu Qiang said the answer for him.

"But he is not the child of the old man after all." Liu Qing shook his head, "It's still the county magistrate, how easy is it for the old man to beat him. Since he can't be beaten, then go and have a look."

Liu Qing immediately left the state.

He went all the way to Nilu, and when he went in, he saw Yang Xuan drinking.

"Emissary." Yang Xuan didn't expect the old man to come, so he got up to greet him.

Liu Qing's entourage came in and got the shopkeeper out.

"Didn't drink much?" Liu Qing just came in.

"No." Yang Xuan pointed to the wine jar, "I just drank a little."

Liu Qing sat down, "Pour the wine!"

"Yes!"

Liu Qing'an was sitting and drinking while Yang Xuan was pouring the wine, and there were only slight sounds in the lobby.

After a few glasses of wine, Liu Qing asked, "What do you want?"

This question is relatively broad, you can ask about ambition, you can ask about the purpose of Yang Xuan's trip.

Yang Xuan said: "All I want is a prosperous and self-protecting Taiping."

"Yeah!" Liu Qing took a sip of the drink, frowned slightly, obviously disliked the bad taste of the drink, and looked at Yang Xuan softly, "What do you want in this life?"

Yang Xuan hardly thought about it, "The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty."

Liu Qing got up and looked down at him, "The old man will look at you, whether you are brazen or you will follow through on what you say."

When he turned around, he saw a picture pasted on the wall behind the counter.

"Integrity, whose word is it?"

Liu Qing looked familiar.

"Officer."

"The writing is ordinary, practice more."

"Yes."

"Also, don't write outside."

"Yes."

After Liu Qing went out, the old thief came over.

"Mingfu, Mr. Liu seems to have suffered a lot."

"What do you mean?"

"There was an official who liked to keep calligraphy outside, but was later falsely accused of forging letters by imitating the handwriting."

The old man was nice to me.

Liu Qing left the Nilv, stood outside for ten breaths, and then left.

The merchants got the news.

"Liu Shijun went to Yang Xuan's place and drank together."

"What does it mean?"

Jin Qiao and others are trying to figure it out.

"Han Li's people are here."

A small official came in, "Joining the army said that there is no need to panic, Shijun is just used to it."

"Get used to what?"

"I'm used to favoring Yang Xuan."

Everyone: "..."

The little official said: "Joining the army said that the envoy to go against the brigade is just a statement. As long as you don't violate the law, just do it. Can the envoy force you to wait to go to Taiping to do business?"

"Hahahaha!"

Amidst the laughter, Liu Qing returned home.

While handing him the clothes he usually wears at home, the old wife muttered about today's family affairs.

"Ok!"

"Ok!"

From arguing with his wife in the past to agreeing with each other now, Liu Qing's views on the relationship between husband and wife have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

"That young man came to Lin'an again." Liu Qing sat down.

The old wife put the tea on the case table with a gloomy expression, "You mean the young county magistrate who looks like Erlang and has a temper like Erlang?"

"Ok!"

"If Erlang survived that serious illness, he might have already talked about marriage."

"Ok!"

The old wife casually wiped off the case she had just wiped, "That young man also owed his portrait to Erlang, so he got your care."

She turned around to go out, but she didn't come when she was used to it.

"Why?" The old wife turned around and asked, "Isn't it wrong?"

"In the past, the old man regarded him as Erlang, so he took care of him. But later, the old man gradually forgot about Erlang."

"Why?" The old wife was a little angry at being betrayed.

Liu Qing said: "Other officials see this old man like a mouse seeing a cat, but he is the only one who smiles when he sees this old man, just like seeing his elders."

The old wife couldn't help sobbing, "Could it be Erlang who gave birth to this person?"

"What are you talking about!" Liu Qing said dissatisfied.

After the old wife wiped away her tears, Liu Qing said: "A lot of times, the cause reaps the fruit. At the beginning, the old man favored him, and later he also respected the old man."

"Isn't he quite casual with you?"

"Women, respect is not based on what he said, but what he did."

"Chenzhou is short of money and food, but the old man had a rule at the beginning. If the victory is verified to be correct, the money and food will be rewarded. But Yang Xuan asked for it once, and then he chatted with the old man for a while, waiting for the old man to lose his temper." Now, run away with the trend, and don’t want money or food.”

"That is to say, the state subsidizes the jerky in the counties. He never fails, saying that there is not enough meat in Taiping, and those children can't lack meat."

"Does he still report victories often?"

"Yes. In the six counties of Chenzhou, only that young man has won many battles. This old man is very happy!"

Liu Qing added: "It's as joyful as seeing your own child's success."

……

On the second day, Yang Xuan got up early.

"Where's the second child?" Yang Xuan accidentally didn't see Wang's second child.

The old thief was washing up, spat out the mouthwash and said: "There was a bird calling outside the door of the second child early in the morning, and he chased it out."

"This is Lin'an, not Taiping, so be careful." Before Yang Xuan finished speaking, Wang Lao Er rushed in, holding a few eggs in both hands.

"Lang Jun, let's cook and eat."

The poor bird was dug out by Wang Lao Er early in the morning.

After breakfast, Yang Xuan asked the shopkeeper to prepare tea.

Then he sat there writing a letter by himself.

The letter was addressed to Zhao Sanfu and Zhou Ning.

Zhao Sanfu is now in charge, and if he mixes well, he will be the boss of the stage.

But Zhou Ning is still teaching in the Imperial College, and in his letters, he likes to mention the tree-lined paths in the Imperial College, An Ziyu with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and Ning Yayun who plays the piano obsessively.

The girl occasionally mentions feelings in letters, but it is only a glimpse, almost without a trace.

After writing the letter, someone will come in and report.

"My lord, they are here."

"please come in."

Yang Xuan put away the letter and planned to hand it over to the person in charge of the post in Chenzhou later, saving them the time to go to Taiping to receive the letter.

More than ten businessmen filed in.

Yang Xuan nodded slightly, and everyone saluted.

"I've seen Yang Mingfu."

"Everyone, please take a seat."

People sit down.

The shopkeeper brought people to serve tea.

Then he stood by and prepared to serve.

The old thief shook his head, and the shopkeeper left.

The door is closed.

Yang Xuan said, "Taiping is located at the forefront and the center of Chenzhou, with obvious geographical advantages. There are quite a lot of cattle and sheep in the Waxie tribe, and the fur produced every year is famous in northern Xinjiang."

This is a cliché... Wang Min glanced at Lin En.

No need to answer, just leave after listening... Lynn raised his eyebrows quickly.

Hong Yazhi was a little disappointed, but also a little pleased.His failure to bribe yesterday made him a little embarrassed.Today, Yang Xuan is still talking about the same cliché, so don't blame him for refusing later.

You reject the old man!

The old man rejects you!
Very fair and reasonable.

As for Guanwei, I'm very sorry, this is Lin'an, not Taiping.

He glanced at Jin Qiao, Jin Qiao narrowed his eyes, as if he was listening, but Hong Yazhi, who was familiar with him, knew that Jin Qiao was thinking about other things at the moment, that is to say, he was distracted.

Yang Xuan didn't seem to know that his words were ignored.

"Taiping promises that the store rent will be free for the first year."

The businessmen were expressionless.

Everyone is going to make a lot of money, and the rent of the shop is not considered at all.

"Secondly, Taiping promised to reduce tax payment by [-]% in the first three years."

This is a bit interesting, but many of these people evade taxes, so they look disapproving, and some even mutter that it is a waste of time.

"Thirdly, Taiping will take the initiative to invite the hired workers sent by the merchants, but there is one rule that the hired workers must not be treated harshly."

That's it?

Jin Qiao raised her head and frowned, feeling that she had come by mistake.

"Fourth." Yang Xuan said slowly: "If merchants report that officials ask for bribes, once they are found out, they will be severely punished. I know that the rules of the officialdom are dark. In a word, such people will not only be severely punished, but also expelled from Taiping , never to return."

This article is interesting, but it is a double-edged sword for these businessmen.

They are accustomed to obtaining official help and illegal benefits through bribery, and at the same time they are quite troubled by the greed of officials.

Jin Qiao thought that she still had something to do, so she wanted to leave.

Lynn coughed dryly and raised his hand first.

Yang Xuan nodded, and Lin En said: "Yang Mingfu has a high opinion, but the old man has urgent matters at home, so I ask Yang Mingfu to forgive me and allow the old man to leave."

This person's attitude is not bad at all... The status of a businessman is not high, but the old man's words and deeds make you unable to find fault.

Yang Xuan was slapped in the face.

Jin Qiao looked at Yang Xuan calmly, thinking how this person would get angry.

……

"Lynn said that today he will take the lead."

In Han Li's duty room, several officials gathered, and he smiled and talked about today's arrangements.

"If someone takes the lead, Yang Xuan will naturally have no face."

Everyone laughed.

Han Li said: "Lin En asked us to help. If Yang Xuan retaliates against him, we must lend a helping hand."

An official said: "To be a person, you must be honest, and this matter will naturally help you."

……

In the reverse journey.

Lin En seemed respectful, but actually sneered in his heart.

He spent a lot of money in bribes, and he has already opened up his joints in Lin'an. After that, the business will naturally flow smoothly, and there are other benefits.That being the case, why did he go to Taiping?

He was willing to come today, firstly, not to give Yang Xuan an excuse to get mad, and secondly, to express his opinion to those officials.

The risk of being the leader is not small, but the benefits will be many.

Yang Xuan glanced at him, "Since you're gone, there will be no place for you in Taiping from now on."

"The old man knows."

"To be a human being, honesty comes first, as long as you know it."

Yang Xuan nodded, and Lin En went out.

He stood outside the gate of Nilv, looked at the hot sun, and said comfortably: "Comfortable."

Inside, Yang Xuan continued to speak, his voice came through.

"The last one."

"Taiping promises to build supporting merchants for you. The furs and furs of the Vache department are not well disposed of, and you will have to deal with them after you get them. I know that these disposals are all in the customs."

Lynn was taken aback, and stopped to listen.

Wang Laoer, the gatekeeper, just sneered.

"The cost of transporting from here to the customs is not low, and the wages of hired labor in the customs are relatively high. You must be suffering for this. For this reason, Taiping will organize a number of merchants to engage in the fur disposal industry to ensure that after your furs are received, they can be processed in time. Disposal, cheap disposal."

Lin En was originally a fur trader, and after hearing this, he couldn't help turning his head slowly.

"When you bought cattle and sheep in the past, you had to transport them to slaughter, get the fur for disposal, and the meat had to be dried. In the past, these were processed in the Qianzhou area. Not to mention, these cattle and sheep went all the way How much food and grass is consumed in Qianzhou? The cost is astonishing."

"Before I came out, more than [-] small merchants in Taiping have joined forces. The best butcher in the city will teach those hired workers how to butcher cattle and sheep better, how to make jerky... what do you want to make, With just one sentence, Taiping will take it all!"

Yang Xuan supported the table with both hands, leaning forward slightly, with a hint of reservedness in his eyes.

"Then Yang would like to ask, at this moment, who wants to get out of here?"

Nobody moved.

All stunned.

They have never heard that the government will arrange such affairs, and they don't know how the government will coordinate the merchants to do all this.

But they know.

Today is the right time.

A warm and flattering voice came from outside the door.

"Yang Mingfu, the villain is Lin En! No matter how important the villain thinks about family affairs, is it more important than listening to Yang Mingfu's teachings? Yang Mingfu...Yang Mingfu..."
