Dress as a villain

Chapter 102 Their Warm Water Boiled Frog

The news of the [-] Xie soldiers stationed in Weidu spread to Hu Xiong. Shan Yuhou, Hu Xiong's envoy, knew that Xie Lanzhi had been offended by the gift-giving incident last time. This time it was hard to guarantee that Xie Lanzhi would not attack the Hu Xiong businessman. He immediately arranged a ship The merchant was asked to load important things onto the ship and leave early the next morning.

Unexpectedly, Xie Bing sent a big gift, a total of [-] shi of grain, filled two boats and sent them to the dock.There is a good meaning.

Alufu, a Huxiong businessman, accepted the grain and opened it with Tianjing. I heard that this thing was promulgated by a new order recently.

Seeing Xie Shi, Alufu sent someone to negotiate again, hoping to order a batch of Xiaoyao Pills, a total of 1000 pieces, and wanted to receive the goods in three days.And Xie also paid half of the deposit, a total of [-] taels of gold.

Alufu thought that Xiaoyao Wan and the others were enough, but the compensation of 1000 taels of gold to fight back was a worthwhile deal.

Shan Yuhou resolutely refused: "Master Xie is notoriously cunning, since she can send troops to Weidu, she will not let the Huxiong merchants here so easily."

"Alu Fumo lost a lot of wealth because of a small fortune. It's best to move things to the ship now and leave the port with me. It won't be too late to come in after the wind in Weidu calms down!"

As a businessman, Alufu saw the prospect of Weidu. He objected: "Weidu is such a good location. Now we have traded cloth and grain with Weidu for more than a thousand, and the profit is tens of thousands. You let me give up this Fengshui Treasure land."

"Are you refusing to accept me and killing Kenzie! Doing this on purpose?"

Kenzie is the former owner of Happy Palace.

The interests of Weidu and Hu Xiong are very entangled, and the temptation of tens of thousands of taels is not something anyone can resist.What's more, there is a powerful mother country behind them, even the southern hegemon has to regard them as the upper country.

Alufu remembered that Shan Yuhou's treatment of Xiaoguo in return was a shameful operation.

He couldn't help wondering: "Did you offend Xie Lord?"

Shan Yuhou sneered again and again: "This envoy represents the face of the king, so whatever this envoy sends, the next country should flatter and smile. Who dares to disobey? Even the old man in Beiluo dare not return to my mother country with such a gift. !"

Sure enough, it has been 20 years, why hasn't he changed his virtue of bullying others!Alufu felt that he really did not agree with Shan Yuhou's political opinions. This time the king sent him to investigate corruption. If Shan Yuhou hadn't helped him, he would not have taken the initiative to help him conceal the corruption case and pushed the crime to Ken. Qi hand.

"It's just stupid! Why don't you think about how much business we have to go through Weidu! Weidu used to be under the jurisdiction of Lord Xie, but now it's someone else's territory, and you can still mess around!" Alufu said: " There is an old saying in Central China, the Hakkas should not occupy the landowners! A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake!"

"Nonsense, don't tell me this nonsense. I'll just ask you if you want to go?!" Shan Yuhou was impatient, he asked Alufo repeatedly, but Alufo refused.

Soon when the Xie family sent another person, it was Xie Xia, the right general, who went to the envoy to visit Alufu.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Alufu couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that you are afraid of thanking the Lord?"

Shan Yuhou snorted coldly: "I am afraid of no one but the king, but I just feel that something is wrong, I feel that this thank you Lord is here to take revenge on us!"

"This woman is different from Beiluo after eating a bear's heart and a leopard's guts. I can't guarantee that she will play any tricks in Weidu! You also saw that she placed 5000 people and helped her wife carry out some new orders."

"King Li's ten-thousand-strong army has to avoid Xiexia, and guards all important ports, almost all of which have secured the passages. If we don't escape now, then we will be trapped and unable to escape even if we want to escape!"

Alufu thought to himself that this guy really offended Lord Xie.

But what he said was not unreasonable, they had a huge deal here, and two years of painstaking effort could not be used as a bet.But since the Hu and Hung businessmen are so worried, other small countries and Western foreign businessmen must also be panicked.

Or to inquire about their current situation first.

Alufu said: "I'll see General Xie Zuo first, and I'll make preparations when I come back!"

Seeing him let go, Shan Yuhou reminded him: "Better hurry up, I'll wait for you at the pier right now, there are our people there."

"As for being so careful?" Alufu snorted, and he immediately went to the front hall to meet Xie Xia.

Xie Xia saw that a Hu Hung businessman did not actually have to come to the door in person, but this businessman was not an ordinary person, but a king merchant of the Hu Hung Kingdom, and had a relationship with the royal family, so he had to let go of his airs.

He was sitting on a chair, drinking tea. When Alufo came over, he was quite dignified, but he was still modest, with the upbringing of a scholar from the Central Plains.

"General Zuo, Alufu has admired his name for a long time. I don't know why you are here?" Alufu clasped his fists and performed the normal salute of the Central Plains.

Xie Xia got up, and he also clasped his fists and said: "Brother Alufu, this general is here for the trade between the two countries. I have issued a new order to expand all places in the south of the Yangtze River, without exception. It has been an important place since the new ruling."

"Our sudden visit to announce the new order has made many Weidu businessmen fear that Tianjing will cut off their business interests. In order to appease all businessmen, my lord ordered us to hand over the tax application form issued by Tianjing to each of you."

"As long as everyone pays their taxes, they can travel freely here."

Xie Xia handed over a white-faced leather book with tax books written on it to Alufo. Alufo was wondering what kind of tax this is, could it be possible to increase the tax?It's not that he can't afford to add some money, the most important thing is Weidu's property.

As a result, Alufu opened it and saw that there were more than a dozen tax items above, and the tax was paid in a unified manner.

Twelve taels? !Cheaper than Lek King? !Wouldn't it be cheap but not good?

Seeing that he couldn't believe it, Xie Xia knew that the businessman was also suspicious. He reminded: "In order to increase support for the Weidu industry, my lord lowered the threshold tax and calculated the tax according to the scale."

"Small stalls and hawkers may cost less than [-] Wen."

"Your ten taels are all because your industry is big."

Alufu's doubts were half gone, and he would find out after sending someone out to inquire.

He hurriedly responded, "When will the tax be paid?"

"It will start next month." After Xie Xia finished speaking, he clasped his fists and turned away.

Alufu looked at the tax certificate, and he immediately sent someone to inform Shan Yuhou that he didn't have to leave tonight, and he would check the situation tomorrow night.

Shan Yuhou was still worried when he heard the news, he decided to spend the day on the boat, and he couldn't let down his vigilance these days, if Alufu didn't know his mind again, don't blame him for leaving him.

The merchants in Weidu heard that the Xie clan sent five thousand soldiers to fight, which made many merchants panic, but the Xie clan issued a notice on the same day to change the road tax and issue a tax certificate.Let everyone go to the government to get it. Some people find that they only need to pay five taels after receiving the tax certificate, and they pay 15 taels less. Don't mention how happy they are.

The merchants sent by the Xie family all reminded that this is a new order from His Royal Highness Feng Ning.It is to lower the threshold to welcome more merchants to purchase goods.Preferences will also be given if the trade contribution is good.

When the merchants heard that it wasn't because of Xie Fengqing, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and those merchants who wanted to escape overnight also settled down and continued to do business.

But the next day they found that the products in Weidu were not as affordable as before, the cheap products were still the same price, but the high-quality products were classified in various ways, with prices as high as one hundred taels, and even high-quality clothes were certified by the Royal Secretary.

Tianjing opened up the specifications for merchants, allowing them to wear fine clothes and fine food.Although it was banned in the past, and the merchants were all well-clothed and well-fed, they did not shy away from it, but now it is explicitly allowed to remove a shackle around the merchant's neck.

As a result, the Weidu top-grade silk was sold out. Even if the price was raised, many people still bought it.When shopping in Weidu, passers-by will look up at the silk fabric because of its grade.The merchants who have been suppressed all the year round are refreshed physically and mentally, and these top-grade silks are also guaranteed for three years, and the second recycling can be sold at a discount.

Clothes with insured prices can be sold repeatedly, so that merchants see the benefits, and they all follow suit to insure the price. As a result, even food is insured, and many people lose money in a mess.Blindly following the trend has increased the tax revenue of the new order a lot.

Xie Xia looked at the tax and transaction reports in Weidu's daily newspaper, and could hardly keep her mouth shut.

"I only sold luxury goods for one day, and I made a profit of 3 taels. This Weidu is indeed a lucky nest." He did not forget to hand over the tax form to Li Wang Silei.

Si Lei was originally very resistant to the new order, but he didn't expect that the new order made no less than the trading volume of Weidu in one day on the first day, so he was quite surprised.Even looking at the harvest of silver taels, it is already [-].

The peak period in Weidu is [-] days, and the maximum amount in one day is [-], which is [-] more than [-].

And Xie Xia handed over the silver to Si Lei, Si Lei was very surprised, Master Xie and Feng Ning didn't seize his power?It seems that he didn't take away his power, but planned Weidu better.

Of the money he got now, he naturally didn't dare to monopolize it by himself, so he divided it into four or six parts first, and handed over [-]% to Tianjing.Keep two points for yourself, and keep two points for the maintenance of the port capital.

He handed this petition to Xie Xia, unexpectedly Xie Xia said in front of him: "Your Highness said, you don't have to hand over the money to Tianjing."

Si Lei didn't expect Fengning to be so generous?Or is it thanks to the Lord for taking care of him?Thinking about it this way, he felt much more comfortable.At least he hasn't been suppressed, Weidu is still the richest place.

Then the matter of Xie Xia's garrison began to make him less repulsive.After all, Xie's garrison maintenance costs are all paid by himself, so why not do it if he can get security for free in Weidu.

Si Lei left happily.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Xia slipped into the study to write a letter to Tianjing.

When Xie Lanzhi received the letter, the woman in her arms was rubbing against her, and the signal between husband and wife was constantly high frequency. She read the letter helplessly and told her: "Xie Xia wrote that he has appeased the merchants in Weidu. But Shan Yuhou is still at the pier and has not let up."

Si Qitong immediately waved the letter away from her hand, and started to walk on Xie Lanzhi's body, causing Xie Lanzhi's waist to straighten. It seemed that she didn't want to discuss political affairs today.

Xie Lanzhi hugged her and rolled into the bed.

"Let's go swimming in the lake tomorrow."

"Recent political affairs and supervision, with Xiwei Punishment Division and Wu Qiu here, we can relax for a few days."

"Okay!"
