Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1097: Borrow money according to the order!
It's early this morning.

With a ray of morning light shining on the eaves of today's drunkenness.

A clerk opened the door in the morning light.

Today Zui has resumed business, and people who salivated over those few mouthfuls of yellow soup immediately crowded into the tavern.

Within half an hour, drunken guests came in like clouds, and the place was noisy and lively as before.

When Shen Zian and his party arrived at Jinchaozui after hearing the news, they found it bustling with people.

A waiter came to Shen Zian and saluted respectfully: "Sir, our shopkeeper has been waiting for you in the private room for a long time."

Shen Zian and his subordinate officials followed the clerk, and under the leadership of the clerk, they came to a private room.

When the clerk opened the door, Shen Zian saw an ordinary man sitting in the private room.

The man looks ordinary, but his eyes are surprisingly bright.

His gaze slowly fell on him, which actually made people feel like a light on their backs.

"My lords, please take a seat."

Shen Zian looked the man up and down, then lifted up his clothes and sat down.

The subordinate officials saw that the man was arrogant and wanted to show off his authority, but Shen Zian stopped him: "Everyone, sit down."

None of the subordinate officials dared to disobey and sat down one after another.

The man spoke: "My surname is Feng, and I am the shopkeeper of Zui today. Sir, you can call me shopkeeper Feng."

The word "rich" describes people like Shopkeeper Feng.

Facing several high-ranking officials in the DPRK, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

Rather than saying that he has backbone, he is more confident and arrogant.

Shen Zian wanted to ask for help from others, so he didn't care about his attitude.

After hearing what Shopkeeper Feng said, Shen Zian raised his eyebrows: "You are the shopkeeper, not the boss?"

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Feng didn't give any explanation and just said:
"I can make the final decision on everything that happens today. I opened the door today to welcome the adults for the purpose of discussing cooperation."

"If these adults have any doubts about my identity, they can leave on their own. I will never stop you."

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He shouted: "How dare you! How dare you, a mere shopkeeper, be rude to Shen Shangshu!"

Shopkeeper Feng raised his eyebrows, glanced at the subordinate officer coldly, and immediately silenced the subordinate officer.

Just when the subordinate officer's spine felt cold, he sneered: "What about the officials of the imperial court? We Jin Chaozui kindly provided samples of wine to the imperial court, but in the end we were coveted by the imperial court."

"The wine we are drunk today is not only easy to sell in Jade City, but we can open the tavern anywhere and still make a lot of money."

"Logically speaking, we should cease business and cut off the tax revenue we pay to the court every year."

Having said this, Shopkeeper Feng paused for a moment, and his tone became full of admiration:

"If it hadn't been for Old Prime Minister Bai to mediate and drag his old body to persuade me, even if you are all busy, I would never meet you today."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was slightly stunned.

Shen Zian immediately said: "Old Prime Minister Bai?"

Shopkeeper Feng nodded: "Yes, it is Dongling's retired Prime Minister Bai, who convinced me with his sincerity."

"Now that I am sitting here, I am not interested in the pitiful profits, but I am moved by the old man's concern for Dongling."

In fact, Bai Weiyong was indeed involved in this matter.

The last time Bai Mingwei came home, he was discussing with Bai Weiyong about Jin Chaozui.

To be on the safe side, Bai Mingwei did not tell Bai Weiyong that he was drunk today.Therefore, the collection is true, and the matter of lobbying shopkeeper Feng is also true.

And what Shopkeeper Feng said at this time was not false at all.

Even without his boss's order, he was still convinced by the old man.

His sincere words were not mixed with any falsehood.

Everyone present was convinced, and they all put aside their dissatisfaction with Shopkeeper Feng's attitude and turned to gratitude to Old Bai Xiang.

Shen Zian spoke at the right time: "Since we have Old Prime Minister Bai taking the lead, I hope today's cooperation will go smoothly."

"Please also ask Shopkeeper Feng to state the conditions directly, so that our next conversation will go more smoothly, and it will also save everyone time."

Shopkeeper Feng nodded, and then said: "Jin Chaozui is willing to provide all the stored wine at cost price, and provide several types of easy-to-make wine recipes for a fee."

Shen Zian thought for a moment and said, "I would be very grateful if Jinchaozui could provide stored wine at cost price, but can we discuss the wine side?"

Shopkeeper Feng flatly refused: "The rest of the wines have complicated processes and strange materials, and can only be brewed by Jin Chaozui's workshop. It's not that I don't want to share, but I don't want to lose the reputation of Jin Chaozui."

"I believe Master Shen also wants to continue to make money from the wine transaction with Beiyan, instead of focusing on the immediate benefits and only doing that one-shot deal, right?"

Shen Zian did not reply, but asked again: "Can Zui's workshop and brewing master be sold to outsiders?"

Shopkeeper Feng laughed loudly: "As expected of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he really knows how to do business. I have already promised to provide the wine and some prescriptions, but you have set your sights on the workshop and the winemaker."

Shen Zian's expression did not change: "So, can we talk?"

Shopkeeper Feng shook his head firmly: "Absolutely impossible. Jin Chaozui will not hand over the secrets of making money to the court without reservation. I hope Mr. Shen can understand that we merchants also need to survive."

"I also hope Master Shen can understand that the imperial court has taken advantage of this cooperation. If the imperial court takes Jin Chaozui's thoughts again and touches Jin Chaozui's bottom line, then Jin Chaozui will completely withdraw from Dongling."

"When the time comes, the imperial court will only hold that part of the wine recipe and will not be able to provide better wine. Based on this alone, your deal with Beiyan will fall through sooner or later."

With that said, shopkeeper Feng picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea.

After resting for a moment, he spoke calmly: "So it is the imperial court that needs me to get drunk now, rather than the imperial court favoring us to make money. Lord Shen, I say so, am I right?"

Shen Zian did not answer the question, but cleverly changed the subject: "This cooperation is really an emergency. Naturally, it is difficult to express the court's sincerity to Shopkeeper Feng."

"We will slowly explore how to better achieve a win-win situation in future cooperation."

When Shopkeeper Feng heard this, he also expressed his attitude: "What Mr. Shen said is absolutely true. Anyone who does business cannot suffer losses, and they are also taboo about taking advantage."

"As long as the court doesn't let Jin Chao Zui suffer too much loss and doesn't want to take advantage of Jin Chao Zui, then who doesn't want to have a way to make money?"

Shen Zi'an was silent, and then said: "Then let's talk about the cooperation between the imperial court and Jin Chaozui, so that Shopkeeper Feng can understand that the imperial court is sincere."

Shopkeeper Feng nodded slightly, and then waited for Shen Zian to report the court's needs first.

Originally, Jin Chao Zui was short of inventory and wanted to make a fuss about the wine jar in order to delay the delivery date and buy time for Jin Chao Zui to prepare enough goods.

But now Liu Yu and Qin Fengye are planning to ask Yuan Wu to postpone the bank payment, which gives them an opportunity, so they don't have to work hard on the wine jar.

After Shen Zian reported the court's needs, Shopkeeper Feng agreed, immediately put forward the conditions for today's drunkenness, and finalized many details.

The cooperation went smoothly and the contract was signed soon.

However, before the household official left, shopkeeper Feng left Shen Zian behind for a moment.

As for what the two were talking about, no one knew.

But when Shen Zian came out, his expression was obviously strange.

However, none of the subordinate officials could care about it, because after the cooperation was agreed upon, they were ordered to go to the Taishi Mansion to borrow silver.

This scares them more than killing them.

However, Shen Zian did not hesitate and went straight to the Grand Master's Mansion with a group of subordinate officials: "Let's go, we are ordered to borrow some silver!"
