Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

Both the Wu family and the Wei family came from the patriarch. Wu Guisheng, the patriarch of the Wu family, was nearly seventy years old, with a white beard and hair, but his cheeks were rosy and full of energy. He didn't look like an old man his age at all.As for the Patriarch of the Wei family, Wei Quanyi, who is only in his fifties this year, his temples are covered with snow, every wrinkle on his face is covered with wind and frost, only a pair of eyes are shining.

In fact, they had already arrived in Langya County, and they even got to know everything about Zhuangzi.Just now Xing Xiuyan was talking on the top, and they were listening below.

Youdao is to give a slap and a sweet date.If it was a slap in the face for the help of the prefect of Min to clean up those centuries-old officials' houses in Langya County, then Xing Xiuyan's act of dividing the flesh was a sweet date.

There is a huge amount of money and food coming in and out of Zhuangzi, so it is inevitable that some people will have distracting thoughts. If the world is peaceful, nothing will happen, but now there is only one step away from the chaos outside. .So finding a way to win people's hearts became necessary.

But like Xing Xiuyan, he directly called all the people in the Zhuangzi together, released the account books, and told all the farmers and tenants: What are the money, food, and silk that come in and out of the Zhuangzi, how they came from, and where they are going, and they are clearly explained. Chu Ming understands clearly.Then divide the salted fish meat, and make an agreement with the farmers that how much fish meat to marinate in the future will be handed over to the outside, and the rest will be their own.

The benefits of this move are very obvious, that is, these farmers and tenants are firmly tied to this village with benefits.

The disadvantages are also very obvious, especially for this era.

If Xing Zhong was here today, Wu Guisheng and Wei Quanyi would naturally not have any doubts.Because Xing Zhong is the head of the Xing family, he has every right to do so.

But the problem is, Xing Xiuyan is not Xing Zhong, she is just a girl from the Xing family, who will be married in the future!

Wu Guisheng and Wei Quanyi felt a little more thoughtful.

Fortunately, they are all veterans who have really experienced the ups and downs of the business world. Even with this full of thoughts, they did not lack a single bit of etiquette.On the other hand, when Zhang Xiaoda, magistrate of Langya County, faced the two business giants, he was also somewhat thoughtful.

Zhang Xiaoda is also a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination. If the Wu family and the Wei family came today from the side branch juniors, he would not put on the airs of the county magistrate, but the heads of the Wu family and the Wei family among the eight giants in Shanxi and Shaanxi came to visit him personally. The mentality is naturally different.

Like most scholars, Zhang Xiaoda is somewhat arrogant and feels superior in front of businessmen, but he is an official who passed the examination, not a fool, and he is very aware of the energy of these giants in Shanshan and Shaanxi.

Among other things, if interests harm each other, both the Wu family and the Wei family have the ability to make him dismissed from office.This is not without precedent.Otherwise, how could there be such a thing as money can pass through the gods?On the contrary, if there is no conflict of interest, even if he is arrogant, these businessmen will not take him for granted, but will support him instead.

In the officialdom, how to deal with businessmen and how to properly show official demeanor in front of businessmen is a deep knowledge.

But Zhang Xiaoda did not do badly in this respect.

According to the rules at the time, Zhang Xiaoda was the county magistrate of the seventh rank, Xing Xiuyan was the county lord of the sixth rank, and Xing Xiuyan was of a higher rank, so Wu and Wei first saluted Xing Xiuyan, and then met Zhang Xiaoda, the parent official of the county.

Compared with Zhang Xiaoda who is so calm on the surface and very restless in his heart, Xing Xiuyan is really calm.

After listening to Wu and Wei's self-introduction, she smiled and said:

"You two, don't worry about me being young and ignorant. I was spoiled and spoiled at home. If my father hadn't been promoted to the Shandong chief envoy suddenly, I wouldn't have been kicked out to take the lead. The two elders have met each other. People who have lived in the world, if I am not considerate in any way, please ask the second elder to look at my father's face, and don't get angry with me, a girl."

Hearing these words, Wu and Wei's hearts skipped a beat again.

They are not afraid of Xing Xiuyan's arrogance, Xing Xiuyan's arrogance is easy to dismiss, but Xing Xiuyan is like this, so they are more cautious.

You know, in the mall, smiling tigers are the hardest to mess with.

Wei Quanyi and Wu Guisheng had to get up and salute, and then bowed again: "Your Majesty's words are serious. The villain is terrified."

Xing Xiuyan got up quickly, stretched out his hands to help, and said in his mouth: "Why are you two like this? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly." After sitting down again, Xing Xiuyan said: "By the way, the two of you have come from a long way, why are you doing this?"

Wu Guisheng pondered for a moment, and said: "My lord, to tell you the truth, the two of us are here to buy and sell salted fish and salted seaweed."

"Then you heard the news that I divided the salted fish meat, are you very disappointed?"

Zhang Xiaoda was shocked.

Wu Guisheng said in a deep voice, "However, the villain has heard another piece of news."

The house suddenly fell silent.

"Salt."

"Exactly."

Xing Xiuyan adjusted her posture, looked at him, and said nothing.

Beads of sweat gradually climbed up Wu Guisheng's temples.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, let alone businessmen like him?He had heard that the Xing family owed a lot of silver, so he would never let go of the opportunity to make some money on this salt.So, he wanted a piece of the action.

Not only he thought so, even Wei Quanyi thought so too.Anyway, this Lord Xingjun is just a doll who has just reached the age of Ji, so this matter is not too big or small and it is a trick.But what he never expected was that the Lord Xingjun could put such a lot of pressure on him. What he was facing at the moment was not a weak boudoir, on the contrary, he seemed to be facing an important minister of the court!

From a poor man to one of the eight major commercial giants in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Wu Guisheng has suffered a lot and met many people, from the poorest poor to high-ranking officials.Only the Xing Junjun in front of him puts him under far more pressure than her current status.

After a long time, I heard Xing Xiuyan say: "You are very courageous."

Only then did Wu Guisheng heave a sigh of relief: "The Junjun has won the award."

"You are also very decisive."

Wu Guisheng's heart immediately lifted.

What does this mean?

In their identities, Xing Xiuyan's one compliment is enough, so why bother to praise him a second time?

Xing Xiuyan stood up and said, "You must have heard the secret edict just now."

"Yes." It was Wu Guisheng who answered.

"Yes." It was Wei Quanyi who answered.

"That's no need to talk nonsense. Long live uses me, a boudoir, for the purpose of collecting money and food as soon as possible. Therefore, if you want salt, I have no problem, as long as you come up with enough food in exchange! There is no salt for the salt, and I don't care about the salt coming out of Zhuangzi."

So if you are caught, don't come to me.

"This……"

"Excuse me, is this the meaning of the transfer envoy?"

"The first one of mine just came back from meeting Mr. Gao. Tell me, whose idea is this?" Xing Xiuyan glanced at the two old Jianghu indifferently, and said, "You two, want to get salt from my village. Excuse me?" Is your ship ready? Are all the people ready?"

Wei Quanyi suddenly realized: "Your Majesty wants to buy grain from the peninsula and Japan?"

"Not only the peninsula and Japan, but also Liuqiu and Jiaozhi." Xing Xiuyan said, "When it comes to business, you are experts. How to buy enough food with the least amount of money in the shortest time, you are even better at it .If you have done a good job in this matter, it goes without saying that Yan, I will ask for credit for you. Of course, if you do not do well, then I don’t need to say more, right?”

Zhang Xiaoda jumped up at that moment: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Master Zhang, but this is the third year. I heard that last year, the imperial court purchased millions of shi of grain from Jiangnan. Before that, the treasury was almost empty, right? You said, Jiangnan can still purchase grain this year. Got food?"

Zhang Xiaoda stopped talking.

You know, in order to show that he attaches great importance to this matter, the emperor sent two princes to handle this matter.But what happened?The money was spent twice, but the food was not purchased much.I heard that the two princes were very embarrassed when they returned to Beijing.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Third-rate businessmen value profit when they do business, and they are copper coins one by one, because each copper coin means his livelihood. Second-rate businessmen value connections because a connection means There is a commercial route, which is a river of money that flows continuously. Only first-class businessmen will respect the rules when doing business. You two, don’t you?”

Zhang Xiaoda was still in a daze, but Wu Guisheng and Wei Quanyi were shocked.

rule?

What rules?

Respect the rules, follow the rules or make the rules?

At that moment, Wu Guisheng and Wei Quanyi both thought of Lu Buwei at the same time.

The rare Lu Buwei is a legend of the business world and a sinner in the business world.He reached the peak of the businessman, but since then he has made the imperial power guard against the businessman to the extreme, and has also made the businessman excluded from politics.

The suppression of business in the Central Plains started from him.

I saw Wu Guisheng got up again, saluted, and said: "May I ask the Jun Jun, which rule do you value?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Want to go with me?"

"Yes."

"Then find a way to get a batch of grain first. You can transport the grain to Shandong and hand it over to my father or me, and then you can get a batch of salt from me. I will examine the performance of the two during this process, Make a decision."

"One word from a gentleman,"

"It's hard to chase a horse."

As soon as Wu Guisheng and Wei Quanyi left, Zhang Xiaoda hesitated to speak, but heard Xing Xiuyan murmur: "In this way, we should be able to get a batch of food."

Zhang Xiaoda felt relieved.

It turned out that these two businessmen were fooled!

Although he didn't understand it very well, Zhang Xiaoda felt that this should be Xing Xiuyan's method to get food from these business giants.

However, as long as there is food, his rule will be peaceful. For Zhang Xiaoda, nothing is more important than this.
