Chapter 92 Political Investment (Fourth Change)

Business negotiations went surprisingly well.

Su Xigui investigated the terraced fields used to dry salt in detail, and seemed to want to find some ways out of it, but after looking for a long time, he could only grasp a little bit, and couldn't understand how the bittern turned into snowflake salt in the end.

After returning to the city.

Su Xigui sent the silver box to the rice shop.

"One box is one thousand taels of silver. There are ten boxes in total. I can ask someone to count them." Su Xigui sat there with a teacup in his hand, his expression indifferent.

It seems that this ten thousand taels of silver is nothing to him.

Zhu Niang and Aunt Li lost their composure for a moment, saying that the business was done at [-] taels, but when the other party really brought the money... so much money, where to put it?
Zhu Hao asked with a smile: "Su Dongzhu will stay in Anlu for a while, right?"

Su Xigui smiled, as if to say, do you still need to ask me?Of course I want to stay and verify whether the method you said is true or false.

"How about this, Master Su will take five thousand taels back and help us buy good land locally and then transfer it to us, how about it?" Zhu Hao proposed a transaction plan.

"Oh?"

Su Xigui asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Zhu Hao said: "Su Dongzhu should know that our relationship with our family is not so harmonious. If we buy the land with great fanfare, will the Zhu family know whether they will ask for it back? Besides, Su Dongzhu will give five thousand taels first, as an advance payment, and the rest The five thousand taels is our sincerity, and it will not be too late to send the land deed after Su Dongzhu confirms that our method works."

Aunt Li hurriedly said: "Master Hao, is this inappropriate?"

Apparently, Aunt Li was afraid that Su Xigui would renege on her debt.

Su Xigui re-examined Zhu Hao with surprised eyes: "No wonder you can support your mother's family business. It seems that you really have a way. I, Su, have always believed that doing business is about treating people with sincerity. If so, then Listen to you, I will bring back the five thousand taels of silver first, and then I will send you a field after I buy it."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Then let's sign the contract first, everything depends on the contract."

……

……

Zhu Hao took out the second marked drawing and handed it to Su Xigui.

This blueprint is actually a construction plan for terraced fields. Su Xigui is asked to build salt fields by himself, from scratch, to verify whether the method of drying salt is feasible.

When Su Xigui understood the joints, he smiled and said: "No wonder you want to keep the salt, the feeling is to dry the salt yourself, if the government finds out about this..."

Zhu Hao said: "Master Su won't blackmail us with this, will he? If he threatens...we won't admit it either."

"No, no, isn't the coarse salt you dry for livestock? I'll buy your coarse salt and sell it elsewhere. It doesn't matter if the government knows about it." Su Xigui said with a smile.

Of course he knew the key.

Said that Zhu Niang was selling private salt?

How capable is Zhu Niang?
At that time, Zhu Niang insisted that it was Su Xigui who provided manpower and material support. Even if Su Xigui had a brother-in-law who was a political envoy to support him, it would not be easy to clean up. After all, Su Xigui was the one who really transported and sold salt, and Zhu Niang It's just looking for someone to dry the salt.

This was what Zhu Niang was most worried about, and after hearing Su Xigui's words, she felt a little relieved.

She was originally worried that Su Xigui would turn his back on his word, and would use this matter as a threat, not to mention the money, and would be manipulated by Su Xigui in the future, and continue to give him salt.

"Okay, there is nothing to do this winter after all. There is not much salt produced in the salt field. It is the off-season for salt sales. I will stay in Anlu for a while. If there are any delicious and interesting places, I will make arrangements... Young Master Zhu, since you came up with this prescription, you need to give more pointers in the future, [-]% of your income...is not a small sum."

……

……

Business negotiated.

Although they only got half of the money for the time being, for Zhu Niang and Aunt Li, they are actually satisfied.

Zhu Niang was still a little scared: "Xiaohao, you said that after Su Dongzhu returns...will he go back on his word?"

Zhu Hao said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, but even if he repents, so what? At worst, he won't do business with him in the future, but I think even if he repents, he will have to wait a month later to see the effect of drying the salt... Now he can't even He turned his face without knowing the way... With his shrewdness, he can't do such a stupid thing."

Both Zhu Niang and Aunt Li looked at Zhu Hao with astonished eyes.

Emotional Zhu Hao didn't completely trust Su Xigui, he had already been wary?

"But mother, there is one thing I want to say. In fact, for the head of Su, making money is not that important, or he wants to make more money, so it is completely unnecessary to get a fortune from us. Now he wants his brother-in-law to go further in the court, so even if he spends a lot of money, he will not hesitate."

Zhu Hao analyzed.

Zhu Niang asked: "You always say that Huang Fantai needs to make a difference in the court, so what should we do?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands and said: "If Huang Fantai wants to enter the imperial court, he must have extraordinary political achievements or a deep background. Let him go through the door to bribe important officials in the imperial court... the chance is not great, but if he can contribute to His Majesty The sun-dried salt method will fill His Majesty's wallet, so there is no hope of entering the center."

Zhu Niang nodded, half-understood and said: "So that's how it is."

"So we don't have to worry too much about Su Dongzhu's repentance. Now he is even more worried that we can't pass on the secrets of drying salt. Such a good method of drying salt only sells for [-] taels...he can just have fun."

Zhu Hao was actually not worried at all.

Su Xigui is an official businessman, relying on his brother-in-law's background to rake in money. The higher his brother-in-law's status, the easier it is for him to make money. Otherwise, once Huang Zan returns to his hometown, his business will be affected in a short time. With the end of Huang Zan's political influence, eventually the entire business empire will also fall apart.

If Su Xigui didn't even want to make this kind of investment, there would be no need for cooperation between the two parties. Zhu Hao observed Su Xigui's character in the past six months.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Haoken sold him the sun-dried salt method.

……

……

Zhu Hao will return to the palace that day.

Zhu Niang originally wanted to ask Zhu Hao, what should he do if he won't dry the salt next year?
Before leaving, Zhu Hao made a conscious or unintentional call: "Wouldn't it be good to have a farm and guard the shop to make a stable living? Maybe I will develop some new businesses...and make a lot of money."

Zhu Niang rolled his eyes at him: "Xiao Hao, don't always think of good things."

"Mother, you must keep it in mind. Now that the family has five thousand taels of silver, the risk factor has skyrocketed. Shouldn't you invite some nurses to look after the house? What if someone thinks about it..."

"Pooh!"

Zhu Niang spat, "You only say unlucky things. If you have money at home, who would know about it? But you really should find someone to keep an eye on it, so that you can take precautions if something happens."

In this era, there are no money houses, and if you have silver, you can only hoard it yourself.

Or turn it into a field house and keep it as capital, and pass it down from generation to generation.

For Zhu Hao, if he wants to do business in the future, he needs cash support, and five thousand taels of silver is enough.

Thinking about what was on his mind, Zhu Hao took Yu San's carriage to the palace. On the way, Yu San asked curiously: "Brother Hao, what's going on with the deal with Mr. Su today? I saw him before... it seems that he got lucky a lot." Here comes the box of silver."

Zhu Hao warned: "It's all official business, don't ask me about it! In addition, my mother is in her business, we are in our business, so you can find an opera troupe, can you find anything?"

When Yu Sanyi heard about his own business, his voice suddenly became sonorous and forceful: "I did look for it, but it's really hard to find. I want to go to the provincial capital to look for it through my relationship. I guess there will be news in the near future. It's best to find a big Theatrical troupe... but the price is really not low."

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Isn't this my mother just made a big deal with Su Dongzhu? If you are really short of money, just let my mother invest. You don't have to worry about this."

"well!"

Yu San looked excited.

In just over two months of working with Zhu Hao, he has already earned more than [-] taels of silver, which is equivalent to the wealth he had saved in the past few years.

"Little third brother, if you are rich, shouldn't you marry a daughter-in-law?"

"My mother is trying to figure it out. I don't like the small family and the small family, and the big family doesn't like me, so let's pick first."

"Haha."

The two chatted without saying a word, and soon the carriage stopped in front of the west gate of the palace.

Zhu Hao got out of the carriage, and Yu San helped to carry things, just as Lu Song brought people out from inside.

"Lu Dianzhan, are you going out to handle official business?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Lu Song nodded first, then approached and asked, "Who is the person who met with you these two days?"

As soon as Zhu Hao heard it, he knew that the palace was very concerned about his situation, and secretly watched his every move.

Zhu Hao explained: "The man's name is Su Xigui, and he is the brother-in-law of Huang Fantai in this province. You can investigate this. He is a big salt merchant. My family buys all our salt from him... This time he came to Ann Lu is doing business, we are just in charge of reception."

"Your home reception?"

Lu Song's questioning face seemed to say, your mother is a chaste woman, and he is a brother-in-law from a feudal family, so he will be received by a chaste woman when he comes to the locality?
Does your mother understand what avoiding suspicion is?

Zhu Haodao: "It's not that my mother personally received it, I just asked someone to take care of it... Lu Dianzhan's official business is not here to question me, right?"

Seeing Zhu Hao's vigilant expression, Lu Song sighed, "If something happens in the future, it's best to tell the truth. Let's go!"

Then Lu Song took the people away.

Zhu Hao saw that he was in a hurry, maybe something important happened in the mansion.

Zhu Hao thought about it, the most important thing for the palace recently is the eunuch Zhang Zhong's visit to Anlu.

Is it to pick someone up?

"Brother Hao, I'm going to support the business of the bookstore, so I won't send you in." Yu San said with a smile.

Zhu Hao said: "There is nothing you can do if you want to go in. Yu San, let me tell you that in the future, you must respect the people in this palace. You may be transferred at any time... What is making money? The most important thing is to get ahead, understand?" ?”

"what?"

Yu San looked puzzled.

He thought to himself, it is not easy for me to be able to live in this world as an ordinary person, so what can I say to stand out?
"Brother Hao, the little one can follow you. You can eat meat and let the little one drink some soup. You don't want to be rich...you are busy." He said helping Zhu Hao deliver the things to the door, and watched Zhu Hao take it Entering the door with large and small packages, he left in a hurry.

As soon as Zhu Hao returned to the dormitory, he saw Zhu San, Zhu Si, Lu Bing and Jing Hong playing Cuju in the yard, as if they were waiting for him to return.

Seeing Zhu Hao, Zhu San was surprised and said: "You are back! Let us wait."

Zhu Hao frowned and asked, "What's going on? Jinghong, don't you stay at home for an extra night?"

Jinghong was so tired that he was out of breath: "Today, my father entered the palace and had something to discuss with the prince. I came back with him. The palace allows the two princes to play cuju, and we will play here... We are waiting for you to join us."
