I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 70 Bargaining
After being drunk, Liu Huwei fell asleep for a long time before waking up with a groggy head, and He Shao was sitting beside him.

"woke up?"

"where is this"

"Of course it's my Dongpo residence."

Of course, He Shao will be very enthusiastic about his future number one thug.

"Did you forget what you promised me?"

He Shao shook the lease with Liu Huwei's handprint in his hand.

"Since I promised you, you won't regret it, and I'm not because I want to make money. My biggest dream is to go to the battlefield, but I can't always be a robber. If I want to marry a good man in the future, his father can't always be a robber."

"Don't worry, the future marriage will be on me, not to mention the sons and grandsons of the dragon, how is the prime minister's family?"

"You?" Liu Huwei glanced contemptuously, and the toad yawned like a merchant.

"I'm the current Prime Minister Li Hang's protégé, she's such a lovely girl, I even found a teacher for him."

He Shao called Yun Niang.

"This is Yunniang, who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu. How about letting him teach you how to write and read in the future?"

"really?"

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow"

"Then what if I sell my life to you?"

Liu Huwei cracked his mouth and smiled, he wanted to let you go to school a long time ago, I never heard that the ladies of that family were cultivated in the robber's den.

"I don't want your life, no matter you are the Xiang army or the Polu army, you must know the terrain near Sanguan for ten years."

"Of course"

"You are very powerful and familiar with the road. It's okay to help me escort a batch of wine to Zhongjing." This is what He Shao is most concerned about.

"That's no problem. When I was in the Xiang army, I often ran to Liao, but my biggest wish is to kill a few Liao people. Now you ask me to give them wine."

Liu Huwei scratched his head, feeling aggrieved and afraid to attack.

"It's nothing to kill a few people, let them live, and then take the Liao people's money out of their pockets and put them in their boxes. That's the big deal."

"I can't figure it out, but now I'm hired by you, I'll just do what you say"

It is very difficult to brainwash a big soldier into a businessman, but fortunately Liu Huwei knows that it is much easier to obey orders.

"How much money can you make by sending some wine? In the past, the military leader could earn hundreds of guan by secretly selling salt."

Liu Huwei looked down on it, even if wine can make money, can it be more profitable than salt?

"It's not too much, at least [-] guan."

"Pfft..." Liu Huwei spat out the wine from his mouth.

"How many??"

"The cost price of Zuixian Liquor is [-] renminbi. Now that the wine market in Kaifeng is in a downturn, it can be sold for [-] renminbi at most. If I ship it to Zhongjing and sell it for [-] renminbi, it will be less than ten times the profit." He Shao has already calculated the cost. and profit.

"It takes about one and a half months to come and go to Zhongjing. In one and a half months, you earn [-] guan?"

"It's a little less now, and if the business roads are smoother in the future, if there is any doubt, the market will earn more."

Liu Huwei didn't know how to describe He Shao.

"Before that, I have to go back to Panshan to deal with some things"

"what to do"

"Of course I brought you back. Secondly, I have to explain to the people on the mountain. The people on the mountain are used to being robbers. Some people are cruel and dirty and will cause trouble for you. Brother, I will give them a fight. Leave a sum of money for aftermath.

There are also some people who were forced to leave the grass, and I wanted to take them to join the army, but now it seems impossible." Liu Huwei sighed.

"How many people like this are there?"

"There are dozens, He Shao, can you..."

Liu Huwei originally wanted He Shao to find a serious job for them, but he didn't expect He Shao to agree.

"For your sake, as long as these people are reliable, I will take them all, and you will be responsible for bringing them to Liao to deliver wine together."

"That's great. It just so happens that there is a dog-headed military commander on the mountain who can speak Khitan dialect."

Liu Huwei happily returned to Panshan, and He Shao was ready to walk through the final joint after finding the right person.

Originally, the relationship between the two countries was very stiff, Song Taizu even ordered to put an end to doing business with Liao.

However, the border people's private relationship has not been cut off for decades. As long as there are ten times the benefits, it is enough to make people despise all laws in the world. Under such repeated prohibitions, the Song and Liao courts can only turn a blind eye.

He Shao doesn't like to do things that violate Song Xingtong. If there is no other way, then he should find a way to change Song Xingtong. Who else has this ability except someone on the dragon seat.

With the emperor's acquiescence, Dou En took He Shao into the palace. Of course, a merchant could not enter the palace to face the saint. What he met was the nobleman Liu E.

"He Shao, you are quite courageous. How dare you contact the Liao envoy in private and do business secretly?" Liu E looked at He Shao coldly.

"Didn't Caomin come to plead guilty?"

He Shaogui's legs were numb and no one came to help him, and Liu E didn't intend to let him get up.

Of course, Liu E will not really punish He Shao. Whether it is two seasons of rice, or Tian Ce, or changing the eating habits of Kaifeng City, He Shao's contribution to Song Dynasty is no less than that of anyone in the court, especially He is just 19 years old this year.

"You don't need to come with me, just tell me what you want to do."

"My private business with the Liao people is inconsistent with the court's legal system, so I wonder if your majesty can open a small hole for me"

He Shao smiled, ready to stand up and loosen his numb legs before pouring tea and water for Liu E, but when he saw Liu E glaring at him, he hurriedly knelt back to his original place.

"There are important court officials at the border who have also participated in the business affairs between the two dynasties. Originally, Dali Temple sentenced the whole family to distribute to Lingnan, but in the end they were willing to donate all their family property to avoid the death penalty. In the end, they were just dismissed from office. Do you know how much they spent?"

"Grass people don't know"

"Jing Feng first confiscated 19 guan from the border for four years as an official, and Lu Anzhong confiscated 11 guan in four years as an official. It took almost 30 to buy the lives of the whole family."

Liu E looked at He Shao with a smile that was not a smile, and his tone seemed to have other intentions.

When He Shao came here, he was not worried about allocating Lingnan. What he was worried about was that Liu E would not mention money, which would prove that the emperor was not interested in this business. Now it seems that it is just a matter of more money and less money.

"In order to express the determination to marry the princess, Caomin is willing to give the princess two transactions of the annual income"

"Do you know how much wealth is in the inner treasury, why would you care about your little money? Besides, Princess Shouchang is His Majesty's own sister who loves her very much, how can it be measured by money?" Liu E snorted coldly.

Listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and listen to the sound of words. When a person says that he can resist temptation, he still doesn't know what real temptation is.When a person says that you don't love money, it means that this amount of money is not enough, and Liu E is just bargaining tactfully.

"Thirty percent, no more, this thirty percent is at least 30!"

"How many did you say?"

Liu E seemed to be unable to believe what he had heard. Every year, one tenth of the national treasury was allocated to the inner treasury for the palace and the emperor's expenses. Even so, it was only 80 million guan.

"30 sticks!"

"Princess Shouchang has not yet passed the rules, and the money is kept in the inner treasury for her."

"This time, the helper I'm looking for was a robber in Panshan, can my lady..." He Shao pleaded for Liu Huwei again.

"As long as they obey the rules in Kaifeng City, no one will trouble them"

"Thank you ma'am"
