Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 623: Breaking in

Gu Huaisheng reported Wan Rendong's anomaly to Lu Songli.

After Lu Songli heard this, she expressed that she understood and signaled to Xue Xu who was standing beside her.

Xue Xu nodded.

After Gu Huaisheng finished his report, Xue Xu accompanied him when he went out.

Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but ask Xue Xu, "Mr. Xue, won't you deal with this person?"

Xue Xu stroked his beard and said, "The governor means to mark them so they can be dealt with, but not harshly, or they can be raised and fattened before being slaughtered."

Gu Huaisheng nodded, "I see." Pingzhou's way of doing things was like spring breeze turning into rain, moistening things silently.

Xue Xu signaled him to imitate him, "There are so many people in Pingzhou, so it is inevitable to have spies." These people were all listed in his little notebook, "We can only mark them first, and then we can slowly find out more about them." Cleared.”

Zhuozhou, Cai family

Facing the situation of being forced to buy shares, both the Cai family and his son did not look very good.

After all, Cai Guang was sophisticated and experienced a lot. He gave his son a calm look.

Zhao Song leisurely drank the tea served by the Cai family, ignoring the quarrel between father and son.

He is a collateral member of the Zhao family, and is nominally the uncle of Zhao Minglou and Zhao Yutan.

He sits here, representing not only himself, but also the forces behind him. Since ancient times, if the people do not fight with the officials, this will definitely happen, sooner or later.

After Cai Guang waited for his son to calm down, he said to the visitor, "Manager Zhao, it's not impossible for you to become a shareholder."

Standing behind Zhao Song was Zhao Minglou, the governor of Zhuozhou County, and Zhao Minglou was the brother-in-law of Xie Zhan, the current military commander of Dali. Cai Guang decided to obey. As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero.

Cai Guang relented, and Zhao Song smiled, "Dong Cai's family, that's right. Let's make money by being harmonious and make money together. Hello, I'm good, everyone."

Cai Guang forced a smile and asked, "I wonder how Manager Zhao plans to become a shareholder of the Cai family?"

Zhao Song said bluntly, "I will invest 500,000 taels of shares here and enjoy half of the income from Cai's Donkey Farm."

The Zhao family returned to Chang'an from the south with their uncle. All the rewards from the emperor were given to the uncle's family, but the Zhao family received no rewards at all.

When the Zhao family was ransacked and exiled, they didn't have time to hide some belongings.

Although Zhao Yutan, the aunt and uncle, helped the Zhao family after returning to Chang'an, the Zhao family was financially strapped.

This time, Zhao Minglou became the governor of Zhuozhou County, which was also an opportunity for the Zhao family to make money.

In order to make enough profits and make up for the lack of financial resources of the Zhao family, my aunt Zhao Yutan privately raised 300,000 taels of silver this time, and the family collected another 200,000 taels.

In order to collect the 200,000 taels, the Zhao family really tried their best, and almost all the property that their aunts and uncles donated after they returned to Chang'an, as well as the property donated by others in exchange for money, were cashed in.

He carefully selected the Cai family. It has strong strength, good operating conditions, and a good reputation in Zhuozhou. It is a good partner.

Cai Qin was young and energetic, and was very angry when he heard this.

The Cai family's breeding farms and related assets are worth two to three million taels in total. Zhao Songcai bought a stake of 500,000 taels, and he wants half of the income produced by the Cai family?

What is the difference between this and Mingqiang?

Cai Guang also looked embarrassed, "This -"

"Dong Cai, you should know that my five hundred thousand taels are not just five hundred thousand taels of silver. You know the benefits of me becoming a shareholder in your Cai family."

Of course Cai Guang knows, but half a million taels of silver will take up half of their Cai family's shares...

Zhao Song glanced at the father and son and snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I only need half of Cai's one-year profit for my investment. When the profit is settled, I will withdraw the capital of 500,000. From now on, you guys The Cai family’s profits have nothing to do with me.”

Cai Guang understood. Zhao Song was optimistic about the good donkey market prices in Zhuozhou this year and wanted to make a profit.

Cai Qin also understood that the other party did not want to invade their Cai family's property, but wanted to share this year's profits.

Although this is also very unpleasant, it is less unacceptable than the former.

"And I am not involved in the management." Zhao Song added.

Hearing this, Cai Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good, it's good." It's better not to interfere in the business. There is still a way to raise donkeys. He is most afraid of an outsider guiding an expert and meddling indiscriminately.

Now he has resigned himself to sharing half of the profits he made this year. What he was most worried about just now was that the other party wanted to get involved in the business, which would eventually lead to no money or losses, and would cause trouble for the Cai family later.

In the end, the Cai family and Zhao Song reached an agreement.

Zhao Song asked someone to send gold worth five hundred thousand taels and took away the contract.

When Zhao Song left, Cai Guang and his son got up to see him off.

After sending the person away, Cai Qin couldn't help but said, "Dad, do we admit this kind of thing? Will we admit it in the future?"

Cai Guang patted his son's shoulder to express comfort. He had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves. Who let the Cai family be targeted?

"Actually, Zhao Song was quite kind this time." He only took half of the profit.

Cai Qin snorted dissatisfiedly.

They didn't know that Zhao Song didn't want to take more, but he was worried that after taking more, the Cai family would give up, so he left half of it for them.

Cai Guang and his son both thought that Zhao Minglou had indicated that Zhao Song acted like this.

In fact, Zhao Minglou didn't know about this.

……

After Zhao Minglou took office, he actively visited the people and found that almost every household in Zhuozhou either raised donkeys, planned to raise them, or was engaged in donkey-related businesses.

During the visit, everyone was happy when the donkeys they raised were mentioned, hoping to raise the donkeys at home and sell them at a good price.

Zhao Minglou didn't understand why these civilians were so proud of raising donkeys.

He didn't know that ordinary people didn't have many opportunities to make money, and it was too difficult to make money. But once there is an opportunity, and this opportunity is still in a business they are familiar with, they will work hard to seize it.

Zhao Minglou reminded them overtly and secretly that if they raised the donkeys, the price of the donkeys would drop.

The people were surprised. How could the price of donkeys drop? There are so many people in the Pingzhou army, and the donkey meat burned has become military supplies. As long as General Qin Sheng always loves to eat donkey meat, the governor of Pingzhou will be happy to pamper him.

Zhao Minglou told them that food prices would rise this year and asked them to take good care of the crops in the fields.

They would smile and reply vaguely, maybe, maybe.

Obviously, they don't believe that food prices will rise, they just want to deal with him as a parent official.

Zhao Minglou felt powerless.

There is no way, Zhuozhou is adjacent to Pingzhou, and the food price in Pingzhou has been very stable, which has affected Zhuozhou to a certain extent.

Zhao Minglou said that food prices would rise by the end of the year, but how could it be true when he saw the steady rise in donkey prices?

Until one time, when he was leaving, as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he heard the youngest son of that family muttering dissatisfiedly, "It's true that County Sheriff Zhao didn't even eat the cake he drew, but even let us eat it."

Zhao Minglou paused and heard another voice reply, "That's right. He is obviously optimistic about the donkey market. Otherwise, why would he invest in the Cai family?"

Zhao Minglou:? ? ?

What does it mean?

Zhao Minglou had a gut feeling that there was something going on, so when he returned, he asked someone to investigate, and they found Zhao Song.

He couldn't believe that Zhao Song had done such a big thing behind his back.

He called people over and asked, "Uncle, did you invest five hundred thousand taels for the Cai family?"

"Yes." Zhao Song admitted.

"Where did you get this money?"

"Your father collected two hundred thousand, and that girl Yu Tan got the three hundred thousand."

Zhao Minglou: His family and his little sister really lost everything on such a bet.

He knew very well that it would not be easy for his family and his little sister to get such a large sum of money.

"Uncle, why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?"

"Both your father and that girl Yu Tan think it's best if you don't get involved in this matter."

Zhao Minglou's forehead is bulging. Is this situation involving?

"Do you know that Pingzhou used the strategy of buying deer to control Chu in order to seize Zhuozhou?"

"The donkeys in Zhuozhou are just like the deer in Chu State. When Lu Songli in Pingzhou removes donkey meat from the military supply list, the price of donkeys will inevitably fall. Now there are so many donkeys in Zhuozhou, and then so many donkeys will be sold If it doesn’t move, it will in turn make the price fall even worse..."

"You are still rushing in now, have you thought about the consequences?"

Zhao Song talked about their plan, "Minglou, you are talking about the stage of closing the net in Pingzhou. But before the closing of the net in Pingzhou, the price of donkeys must have increased, right? We only need to close the net in Pingzhou, If we clear out all the donkeys, everything will be fine." We can also make a lot of money.

"I carefully selected the Cai family. I have inspected it and found that their youngest donkeys are almost three months old. They can definitely be harvested before other donkeys enter the market in large numbers."

Zhao Song always felt that if they jumped the gun early, they would not be able to relay the last baton.

The most important thing is that Zhao Song is quite optimistic about the future of Zhuozhou. His uncle Xie Zhan, the governor, is already actively dealing with it, isn't he? The imperial court would definitely not let Pingzhou successfully plot against Zhuozhou.

Even if the situation is very bad in the end, they can rely on the court to stabilize it.

Zhao Song didn't think there was anything wrong with them degrading the public and private property in this way. Besides, if the Zhao family doesn’t earn this money, others will.

Zhao Minglou said nothing. Although Zhao Song's words sounded reasonable, Zhao Minglou still felt that it was too dangerous.

Zhao Song whispered, "Minglou, do you know? As long as our family wins like this, our previous wealth can be restored."

Zhao Minglou made a move. He knew very well that if he forced Zhao Song to get back the 500,000 taels of silver he invested in the Cai family, this move would be like a basin of cold water, which would give Zhuozhou's increasingly prosperous donkey market a good boost. Cool down.

But Zhao Song's words made him hesitate. The Zhao family is indeed short of money, and this time is indeed an opportunity.

The Zhao family planned well. But what the Zhao family didn't know was that Pingzhou had set up a plan and had the autonomy to close the network. They want Pingzhou to escape from the top before closing the net and harvest a wave, but they also need Pingzhou to give them a chance.
