Chapter 75 The Big Deal
I further discussed the matter of cooperation with the young master of the Cao family, and reached a cooperation intention to advance and retreat together.In addition, a bag of potatoes was presented to the Cao family, which made Cao Mancang very happy.This is a good thing, even if you want to buy it now, you can't buy it.The merchants who cooperate with Wei Ming in planting potatoes are concentrated on both sides of the Huaihe River.There is already a shortage of food there, who would transport a large amount of potatoes from there to sell?And in Shaanxi, only Wei Ming's family.Although after the autumn harvest, the people in Weifu Zhuangzi also had a lot of potatoes in their hands, but they were really frightened by hunger.Food, that is life!Who would give his life to sell?As a result, it is difficult to see potatoes on the market.However, Wei Ming believes that it won't be long before potatoes will appear on the tables of most people in the country.Who doesn't like this kind of good food that is also a dish?These days, it is really not an easy task to be able to eat enough.Who cares what to eat?
The eldest son of the Cao family left with a heart full of joy.Wei Ming was also very happy.Tell Zhu Cunshu, Fatty Wang, and Liang Fang about this matter.After all, they are all partners, so it is necessary to talk about this matter.Zhu Cunshu acted indifferent.Just let me make money.Fatty Wang said that he would do whatever Wei Ming asked him to do, and he followed Wei Ming away.No one in Liang Fang saw it, but sent someone to bring out a sentence from the casino, Wei Ming can do whatever he likes, and he will not interfere.As long as he still has half of the shares in the cement factory, he will be satisfied.Wei Ming was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.Bet, bet, just know that bet, what else would you do besides bet?You send money to the casino every day, what are you doing stupid?Can gambling be a career?Let Lao Liang know, why don't you skin your kid?No, I have to talk to Lao Liang about this.If something happened to Liang Fang in Xi'an, I would really feel sorry for Lao Liang.After all, people did not help him less.To be a human being, you still need to know how to repay your kindness.

There are more things these days, and there are more things to worry about.My mouth always feels dry, like something is missing.Needless to say, the addiction to smoking relapsed.Normally I don't feel anything.When there are a lot of things to do and when you feel bored, this thing becomes a must. It has been more than a year since I came to the Ming Dynasty, but I still haven't given up this thing.

"What's the matter, worrying about you like this, scratching your head? My brother said that you are a man of God. You have known for 500 years, and you have known for 500 years. If you are worried, then others will not know what to do It's gone." Ever since attending Wei Ming's wedding, heavy snow has blocked the road.Zhu Youjian couldn't leave even if he wanted to.Simply, hang out with Wei Ming every day.I had a great time too.

"Sorrow, why don't you worry. Tell me, what is the most lacking in the court now?" Wei Ming sat down, wanted to eat something, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, ate a few, felt that there was nothing to ask, and asked again Tossed on a plate.

"Of course it's a lack of money. There have been natural disasters these years, and Liaodong needs a large army to protect it. Why don't you need money? My brother is almost worried about such a small amount of money. You say, there are countless taxes in a year. Why is a million taels not enough?" Zhu Youjian said without hesitation.The lack of money in the imperial court is basically something that the whole world knows.Not short of money, able to raise taxes three times?The imperial court was also unwilling to collect more taxes, and the pressure was too great.How many of those officials are not big landlords?Even if they were not themselves, they represented the interests of the big landowners.The more your court expropriates, the less room for them to exploit.Who would want to make you tax more?The people are even more unwilling.Life is hard enough now, but you still have to raise taxes. Isn't this driving people to death?If the people are dissatisfied, they will rebel.The imperial court also did not want such a thing to happen.

"Look at your prospects, a few million taels, enough to spend? You're dreaming! A few more million taels won't be enough to spend. I don't know what your ancestors thought. Wouldn't the population increase? Isn’t it? Isn’t the land going up? Isn’t the area of ​​arable land going up? And the amount of taxation has been fixed, so it’s really not going to die if you don’t do it.” Wei Ming said disdainfully.I really took a few million taels into my eyes.If I operate properly, I can earn several million taels a year.It is not normal for a businessman to earn as much money as the treasury.And the Ming Dynasty is definitely not the only one who can achieve the level of wealth that rivals the enemy.

"What do you mean you won't die if you don't die? Wei Ming, we are buddies, you say I can, but you can't talk about my ancestors, or I will turn against you." Although the little guy didn't turn his head Come here, but I also know that what Wei Ming said will never be anything good.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to say anything. By the way, now there is a good opportunity to improve your family's financial situation. Do you want to do it?" Wei Ming suddenly had a change of mind, and his addiction to cigarettes was always unable to quit. If you drop it, you simply don’t quit.Planting one tobacco tree yourself is also planting tobacco, and planting a hundred tobacco trees is also planting, why not plant more?It's just that this thing still takes up arable land, which is not worthwhile.But think again that when potatoes are popularized, the food problem can be solved.At that time, what are so many places growing food for?It is relatively cost-effective to grow tobacco, an economical crop.Taking advantage of the fact that tobacco has not become popular yet, the market has been monopolized first.This time it is still the high-end route.Specially sold to those who are rich and unkind.Damn it, there is so much money and you don't have the consciousness to use it to help the country. What's wrong with you really thinking that putting money at home can make money?Also buried the money in the ground, do you want to use the money to build a mausoleum?Die in there, you gang of misers.

"Is there such a good thing?" Zhu Youjian's face was full of disbelief.Although Wei Ming is called the God of Wealth by many people, he still doesn't believe that the gap of millions can be plugged.After all, a person's power is limited.

"Originally, standardizing commercial taxes is a simple and easy way. However, your family has not collected commercial taxes in a serious manner for hundreds of years. Now you are directly doing this, and the impact is very bad. And the court Those ministers and those big businessmen will have some contact. They will never allow this. So, let’s put this aside. Now, I have a good deal. If you want, you can participate Come in for a share, in this case, your money will definitely not be less for a year." Wei Ming said.

"Tch, I thought it was some kind of thing. I believe in the king, you want me to do business with you? Are you kidding me? Do you want me to be cast aside by the ancestors to death?" Hearing Wei Ming again It's about doing business, Zhu Youjian's face became more and more disdainful.Let the prince do the business, only that brat Prince Qin has no sense of shame can do such a lowly thing.

"What happened to the business? Hey, I asked you what happened to the business? What a great opportunity this is! Your brother is the emperor. Give you some good policies. This thing is equivalent to waiting for others to fall into your arms Is money more important than your face? Or let’s put it another way, is the country more important than face? You can’t even pay for the military expenses in the Liaodong region. You come here to talk about face? How much is that thing? A catty of money? My child, it is true that you have to face the difficulties in front of you first. It is definitely more important to ensure that your family’s dynasty survives for thousands of years than your little face. Let me tell you, for your little face, As a result, the post-Golden Tartars trampled across the Central Plains, boy, you are a sinner through the ages, do you know? What time is it now? The sprouts of capitalism have appeared, and you still look down on businessmen, so you should change your elm head." Wei Ming bluffed and deceived Zhu Youjian's words.It seems that if he doesn't do business, he is rebellious, he is acting against the sky, he is disregarding all people, and he is a sinner through the ages.Zhu Youjian was dumbfounded all of a sudden.I just don't want to do business, it won't be so serious, right?

"I don't know how to do business. Why do you ask me for this matter? You should ask Zhu Cunshu!" The little guy was taken aback by Wei Ming's words, but he refused to admit defeat and pushed the matter to Zhu Cunshu, a prodigal bastard.

"Who used you to do business? Don't you still have me in business? You just need to say whether you need money or not. If you really don't want to do it, that's fine. I'll go to Zhu Cunshu." With that said, Wei Ming was about to get up and leave.

"Wait, you said I don't need to do business?"

"Of course not."

"Can I get money without doing business?"

"Of course."

"Then what do I need to do?"

"Sit and count the money."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhu Youjian grabbed Wei Ming's hand, and it was considered an agreement.
