Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye bowed his hand and returned the salute, and said humbly: "Dong Cui's family is absurdly praised. People can't stand without faith, let alone merchants and businessmen. Believe in what you say, and follow what you say. This is Wu's creed in life and things." guidelines."

After saying that, Guo Ye suddenly waved to Zhang Jiujin, who was gathering the mule convoy, and shouted, "Jiujin, ask someone to carry the five boxes I brought from Sichuan."

"Got it!"

Zhang Jiujin yelled, and together with Wang Bajin, he led a dozen or so people to Guo Ye carrying five boxes.

Guo Ye yelled at Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin again, and said with a smile, "Open the box and let the Cui Dong family hold your eyes."

Click, click, click...

The five boxes were all opened, and inside were piled full of silk and satin that flowed and swirled. The satin surface was bright in color, with exquisite patterns and various types. There were many plaid flowers, lotus flowers, tortoise shell flowers, There are patterns such as linked beads, paired birds, rare animals, lion groups, and brocade with Baoxiang patterns.

Cui Yigui is a person who knows the goods. He saw the extraordinary quality of the silk and satin in the five boxes at a glance, and his eyes suddenly lit up with a blazing light, full of greed, and he couldn't help but admire: "Tsk tsk, that's really good!" Good guy, could it be that this is Shu Brocade?"

Guo Ye nodded and said with a smile, "Exactly, these are the unique Shu brocades in Sichuan. Hehe, five boxes of Shu brocades are given to Dong Cui's family as a token of gratitude, and I hope you can accept them."

"Here, these five boxes are all given away, for me?"

Cui Yigui's eyes widened, and he looked at Guo Ye in disbelief.You must know that Shu brocade was originally a unique specialty in Sichuan, and it was expensive.Especially in Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou areas in the south of the Yangtze River, because of the long distance from central Sichuan to Jiangnan and the inconvenient transportation, Shu brocades in the south of the Yangtze River are usually available at a price but not in the market, and it is difficult to buy. It is absolutely rare thing.

If five boxes of Shu brocade were sold in reverse, 5000 taels would not be enough to stop them.If you meet the kind of people who have to buy it, the price can even double.

Cui Yigui stared blankly at Guo Ye, and secretly smacked his tongue and said, Wu Maocai is too generous, right?

Looking at Cui Yigui's expression, Guo Ye knew that his attack again would shock the other party, but that's what he wanted.

These five boxes of Shu brocades were specially brought back to Yangzhou when he came back from the province of Longxi last time, but he did not expect that they would come in handy this time.Although the flesh hurts, but if you are willing to give up, how can you gain if you don't give up?

Immediately, he nodded with a smile on his face and said, "That's right, these Shu brocades were specially brought by Wu from the middle of Shu this time, and given to Cui Dong's family. Hehe, don't be disgusted."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, haha..."

Cui Yigui bent down, rubbed his right hand on the clothes on his body, then lightly stroked the Shu brocade satin surface in the box, smacked his lips and praised: "Tsk tsk, what a good thing, this thing is a rare thing, Wu Dong's family has a heart , really caring."

After finishing speaking, he straightened up and waved to the shopkeeper Hu in the front hall of the bank, and shouted: "Hu Chai, call some fellows and carry the generous gift from Wu Dong's family into my bedroom."

Soon, shopkeeper Hu led several staff to cover the boxes one by one, and then they lifted the five boxes into the bank.

Seeing this, Cui Yigui didn't forget to rub his hands and shouted at Shopkeeper Hu and the others: "Be careful, don't bump into them. They are all good things."

Then he greeted Guo Ye affectionately and said: "Wu Dong's family, I will ask someone to make a pot of high-quality tea, let's talk inside, drink tea and talk at the same time, okay? By the way, I also want to mortgage your previous The land deed, the house deed, and the land deed will be returned to you. This is a big deal, don’t forget it, or the Wudong family will exaggerate it, haha..."

While Cui Yigui was in a good mood, he did not forget to joke with Guo Ye.

Guo Ye also laughed, and walked side by side with Cui Yigui and entered the bank.

Cui Yigui took Guo Ye to his special accounting room, asked the clerk to make a pot of good tea, then turned around and opened a large dark and locked cabinet, and took out the stack of deed land that Guo Ye had mortgaged before. The deed was handed over to Guo Ye, and he said: "Wu Dong's family, check to see if there are any mistakes? You have to figure it out. If you leave our bank account, you will not be responsible."

Guo Ye took over the stack of house deeds, land deeds and land deeds, stuffed them all into his arms without even looking at them, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Isn't it just a mere 30 taels of property? I believe that Cui Dong's family is not As for lying to me. Besides, if it wasn’t for the fact that I was short of money last time and couldn’t transfer the silver from Shuzhong, I really wouldn’t be able to borrow 30 taels of silver. If my relatives and friends in Shuzhong found out about this, it would be in vain Make a joke!"

"Uh……"

Cui Yigui saw that Guo Ye was so forthright that he accepted the mortgage documents without even checking them. Hearing Guo Ye's bold words, he couldn't help praising him inwardly. Caught a big fish.

Immediately, he gave Guo Ye a heartfelt thumbs-up, and said, "Wu Dong's family, domineering! You really are a man of great business. It's a great fate that Cui and Wu Dong's acquaintance!"

Guo Ye listened secretly funny, damn it, of course you are willing to get to know me, I bribed you with money and rare things from Shu brocade, can you not be happy?

But the complaints in his heart were all complaints, Guo Ye still had a soft smile like a spring breeze on his face, and said reservedly: "Dong Cui's family is too polite, as the saying goes, relying on parents at home, except relying on friends. Moreover, with many friends and multiple paths, Wu also I would like to know such a benevolent bank owner as Dong Cui. If it weren’t for Dong Wu’s help this time, how could Wu have bought private salt so smoothly, and then made a lot of money in Shuzhong? Haha, my friend has the friendship of making money , so Wu Mou should give some small gifts."

It sounds good, it sounds good!

Cui Yigui suddenly felt that Guo Ye was not only generous in spending, but also impeccable in life. No wonder the trading plate was so big.All of a sudden, the goodwill and trust towards Guo Ye really soared upwards.

However, he also noticed the words "great gains" in Guo Ye's words, and he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Wu Dong's family has made a lot of money by making private salt and going to Shuzhong this time." ?”

Guo Ye didn't hide anything, and nodded with a smile: "Hehe, it's okay, if you don't make a profit, let alone bring some small gifts to Cui Dong's family, I'm afraid it's enough to pay back the principal. Haha, let's talk about it." Just one sentence, thank you Dong Cui for your kindness."

Cui Yigui knew that Guo Ye was joking, but he also heard that the other party really made a lot of money this time.

Immediately, he returned to the old topic and asked: "Then, is there any big business for Wu Dong's family to do next? If there is a shortage of money turnover, just say a word. Hehe, the gate of our Yangzhou Bank will never They are all open to Wu Dong's house."

Guo Ye was even more delighted when he heard this, saying that it is the most difficult thing to deal with a bank to borrow money, but today it is a new thing, this Cui guy actually took the pole to lend money to himself.

But, 30 taels is no longer Guo Ye's goal.

Immediately, he pretended to shake his head helplessly and said: "Oh, don't mention it. After the private salt is smashed, I guess Wu will have to rest for a while. Now there is no business worthy of reference in Yangzhou? I think I should rest Let's rest and talk."

"Don't tell me!"

Cui Yigui's face turned red suddenly, and he panicked because of his shame, but quickly covered it up with a laugh, and said, "Hehe, Wu Dong's family, Cui means that if you don't do private salt, you can do other things." Yeah, it’s all about making money anyway, isn’t it?”

There was an inexplicable and inexplicable smile on Guo Ye's face, and there was a bit of expected charm in his eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Oh? Wu is not in Yangzhou City recently, and the news is a bit blocked. Could it be that Cui Dong's family heard something? Fengsheng, is there any good recommendation?"

Hearing the words, Cui Yigui glanced at the closed doors and windows, then turned around and nodded to Guo Ye, mysteriously bent down to Guo Ye's ear, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Wu Dong's family, recently I've been I have received some rumors and received news from some places, and the source of the news is the governor's mansion in Yangzhou."

"Oh?"

Guo Ye glanced at Cui Yigui with great interest, and asked urgently: "Cui Dong's family, tell me, what news did you hear, what news did you hear?"

Cui Yigui snorted, lowered his voice again, and said almost like a mosquito: "Wu Dong's family, I only told you as a friend, you are not allowed to spread the word to me, this is a huge profit, and many people know about it." , we will get less meat, you understand?"

"Understood, I understand! Come on, Cui Dong's family, you are so tidy, but it tickles my heart, tsk tsk, hurry up..."

Chapter 826 News worth 5000 taels of silver

Cui Yigui looked at Guo Ye's anxious expression, couldn't help but pursed his lips into a smug smile, and said in a low voice, "Wu Dong's family, this time the deal is quite big, I won't tell ordinary people!"

Guo Ye nodded again and again, and said: "That's that, that's the open-minded people of Cui Dong's family, otherwise Wu would not have hit it off with you so much, and it's too late to meet you."

Cui Yigui asked: "Wu Dong's family, do you know about Slender West Lake?"

Guo Ye said: "I know, Slender West Lake is so famous in Yangzhou, how could Wu not know it? The area around Slender West Lake is full of Qinlou and Chu Pavilions, a place where Yingying, Yanyan and Yanyan sing at night. And the painting boat on Slender West Lake is even more There are as many as hundreds of ships, and the Qinhuai River, the sacred place of fireworks in Jinling, is too much to give way to. What's the matter?"

Cui Yigui saw that Guo Ye's answers were fluent, and he was very satisfied that he saved a lot of time to introduce, and asked: "The Wudong family knows who is in charge of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and hundreds of painting boats around the Slender West Lake?"

Guo Ye frowned when he heard the words, shook his head, and said: "I heard that this land is controlled by Fenglei Hall, which has occupied Yangzhou for decades. Proprietor, but secretly wanted to pay tribute to Fenglei Hall. However, after the death of Leihuo, the master of Fenglei Hall, Fenglei Hall also disbanded. As for who owns this place now, Wu does not know. By the way, Didn't it mean that the Salt Gang entered Slender West Lake and directly took over the land?"

"It seems that Wu Dong's family knows quite a lot, but you only know one, not the other!"

Cui Yigui shook his head and continued, "Who are the salt gangs? Don't Wu Dong's family still know? Maybe they are good at selling private salt on the river. But you let them manage the huge territory of Slender West Lake. Is it that kind of material? Haha, what else can those bastards of the Salt Gang do besides relying on their prestige to harm the fireworks girls in the Slender West Lake area? To tell you the truth, as far as I know, the Salt Gang is The West Lake is messing around, the proprietors of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and the Huafang are already full of dissatisfaction. Haha, so the Yangzhou government has taken this land back from the Yan Gang, and drove out all the idiots of the Yan Gang to Yangzhou City."

"Really?"

Guo Ye asked with an expression of disbelief, "Since the disbandment of Fenglei Hall and the destruction of the Zhang family in Gujing Lane, the Salt Gang is the number one power in Yangzhou. Could it be that they are willing to be kicked out of Slender West Lake by the government and back to the river?" Asking for a living? Last month they sold out all the illegal salt, Wu thought they were going to get rid of the life of selling illegal salt, and then went ashore to Slender West Lake to live a peaceful life."

"So what if they don't want to?"
