Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 23 Sowing discord, killing two birds with one stone

Although Chen Ci looked down on Dongying people from the bottom of his heart, he also hated Dongying people.

But as the old saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests, and the paper has been exposed, and the manufacturing process will be refined in a short time, and time waits for no one.

"Cooperating with you, how much benefit can I have?"

Uesugi Qi said without hesitation, "If the son-in-law provides a complete manufacturing process, [-]% of all the profits sold to the fourteen states will belong to you."

In other words, Chen Ci made one-tenth of all profits in blood without doing anything.

To be honest, Chen Ci was moved.

"There is no basis for what I say, so why should I believe you?" Chen Ci sneered, Dongying people were ambitious, he had to suspect that Uesugi was here to deceive technology, and when the time came, he would bite the bullet and tell the people of Daliang that it was made by Dongying. The statement is really indisputable.

Uesugi smiled slightly, took out a booklet from his arms, and presented it to the statement with both hands, "This is a document from the military government of Dongying Honshu. With this document, it can be exchanged for 1 taels of gold beads at any bank under the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce. Right and as a deposit."

1 taels of gold are in front of you.

Are Japanese people so rich?

Chen Ci sneered: "Uesugi, you know that I am not short of money, but you want to send the beggar for the 1 taels?"

Uesugi didn't change his face, but Hitoshi Tanaka beside him frowned, jumped out and scolded: "Presumptuous!"

"Shut up." Uesugi Qi yelled softly, and smiled in the spring breeze, he bowed politely: "My son-in-law, in your opinion, how much deposit should I give?"

Chen Ci believes that the Dongying people are rich, how can they let such a big fat sheep go?Then you stretched out a finger leisurely, and said: "Gold is 10 taels, if you want it, give the money, if you don't give it to me, you can find Wu Wangfu to cooperate."

Tanaka's expression changed, and he became extremely indifferent.

In fact, Chen Ci didn't want to cooperate with Dongying people at all. He opened his mouth a hundred thousand, just to let Dongying people back out of difficulties.

Unexpectedly, Uesugi Qi smiled gently, "Yes."

The statement was stunned.

Sure enough, poverty limited his imagination.

According to Chen Ciyeli's conception, if paper comes out and spreads widely, it will be affordable to the common people, and its value will definitely not be very high.Moreover, with Chen Ci's current ability, if he wants to earn 10 taels of gold through paper, it may be difficult to open up channels.

Even if the channels of the fourteen states are really opened up, it will take a long time to earn 10 taels of gold.

This still does not take into account accidents.

However, if Dongying people are engaged in the paper trade, if Dongying's Honshu military government or Hokkaido military government can directly cooperate with the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce, the channels will be fully opened up, and there must be a lot of money.

"I want to see the real 10 taels of gold." Chen Ci didn't go to pick up the document.

Uesugi nodded, "Okay, my son-in-law will wait a moment, and I'll go get the money."

After he finished speaking, he bowed again and left silently.

After the people left, Chen Ci sighed. It seems that he still can't pass the level of money. Do he really want to cooperate with Dongying people?

Back in the small courtyard, Chen Ci told the princess about it.

The princess asked: "Is he really willing to give so much money?"

"Yes."

"Husband, what do you think? Sell the craft to him?"

"I don't want to. Selling it to him, wouldn't it mean that the Dongying people will squeeze the money of us Daliang people for nothing?"

But Shang Shanqi gave too much.

The princess smiled: "Husband, you are worrying too much. The craft of paper is simple, and the Dongying people just monopolize the right to sell it. The price will not be too high. I think it is mutually beneficial."

Chen Ci thinks about it, and it seems to be the same. The process of making paper is not difficult, and the materials are also cheap. If it is circulated, it will be on the same level as salt and iron, but the price will not be ridiculously high, and it will all be supported by sales.Besides, the Dongying people are cooperating with the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce is directly under the imperial court. Can those people in the imperial court watch the Dongying people rake in money?

"Then according to His Highness, it is for sale?"

"Yes, my husband, then again, if we make paper ourselves, not to mention the low efficiency, it will also take a lot of time, and the income is far less than that of selling the craft directly."

Chen Ci nodded. Indeed, he didn't want to waste time on it. Originally, he planned to open a factory in Taoyuan Town, so that half of the people would continue to make wine and half to make paper. Now that they have sold the crafts directly, they can continue to toss other things.

"Okay, princess, I'll listen to you."

……(Dividing line)
"Senior brother ten, I don't understand. (Dongying language, the same below)"

In Guangling City, Little Chiba Kendo Hall, Tanaka Hitoshi had a serious expression on his face, trying his best to restrain his anger. He was carrying a box of gold into the carriage.

Beside him, a man in a blue shirt is also carrying gold into the car. He is the tenth ranked samurai in the Little Chiba Kendo Academy, named Toshi Miyamoto. I'll just wait and do."

"I just don't understand, we have so much gold, we just give it up to others? And it's our enemy! That damn son-in-law, report!" Tanaka said angrily. The mouse whiskers are even more ferocious.

Miyamoto lowered his voice and said, "That's why the military government hasn't awarded you an official position until now, and your vision is short-sighted."

"Huh?" The fat man was startled, as if thinking of something, he lowered his voice and said, "You mean, the military government agreed to this matter?"

"I didn't say anything." Miyamoto shook his head and continued to work.

Tanaka is not an idiot, he was just dazzled before, but now he is mentioned by Miyamoto, and suddenly realizes.

One must know that the son-in-law, Chen Ci, was very close to the people from the Great Liang military. A few days ago, he brought heavy troops to surround Dongying Street, and the lion wanted to take away ten thousand taels of gold.

Now, the Lord Pavilion Master took the initiative to show his favor and reached a cooperation with Chen Ci. If he couldn't even understand this, then he would have lived for more than 20 years in vain.

Of course it's... sowing discord.

Of course, this is also killing two birds with one stone, but it is very easy to make back the lost profits in a short period of time.

……

In Taoyuan Town, Chen Ci was waiting bitterly. He thought of a terrible thing, that is, there might be spies from the Dongying people in the Ganshan barracks.

In any era, there is no shortage of greedy people.

Many of the soldiers in the Ganshan military depot are from poor families. The Dongying people are rich and powerful, and they are secretly manipulating in the Great Liang. It is normal for soldiers to be bought by profit.

This matter can be big or small, Chen Ci decided to communicate with Yu Xiong after a while.

These are just soldiers. If there are officers who are very close to the Dongying people, and a large-scale war breaks out in the future, how should they command the battle?How to win the war?
In the afternoon, Uesugi arrived as promised. He brought a dozen Dongying warriors, three carriages, and came with gold and silver that was worth the same value as 10 taels of gold.

"My son-in-law, take a look."
