Keyboard Immortal - 273. Chapter 272 Take Off!
Hearing her words, Zu An was immediately dumbfounded: “You want to go to the brothel?”
Chu Chuyan gave him a blank look: “Of course it’s not me going, but asking you to make an appointment.”
“About whom?” Zuan was curious.
“Young Master Wang Family, Wang Yuanlong.” Chu Chuyan said sternly.
Zuan looked at her with a weird look: “You don’t have a leg with the Wang family, do you? I heard that the Wang family of the Chu family has always had a good relationship with each other. Could it be some childhood sweetheart drama? I’ll go, why is my life so bitter? …”
Damn, I knew I wouldn’t save that surname Wang last time in Shenxianju, and let him be beaten to death by Chen Xuan.
Chu Chuyan was ashamed and angry, and grabbed his ears: “Don’t cry and howl, what can I have with him? What messes you think about all day.”
The anger value from Chu Chuyan is +123!
Zu’an was overjoyed: “Then why do you want to invite him to meet, or in a place like Shenxianju?”
“It’s not that I asked him to meet, but that I asked you to meet him.” Chu Chuyan corrected.
Zuan blinked, saying that he didn’t understand what was going on.
Chu Chuyan said: “Today Sang Hong called my father, Zheng, Yuan, Wang and other famous families in Mingyue City for a meeting. He mentioned that the imperial court is now using troops from the foreign races in the north, and the military pay is tight, so it is necessary. Wealthy businessmen everywhere donate enthusiastically to contribute to the country.”
Zu An nodded. Chu Chuyan had mentioned the donation to him before.
“Because I just donated it once last year, even the big business can’t bear such frequent apportionment, so the big families are reluctant to do so,” Chu Chuyan continued, “My father flooded with private salt, which caused the official salt to not be sold. The status quo of going out is an excuse to show that I can’t afford to pay for it for the time being.”
Zuan couldn’t help but smile and said, “I didn’t expect that my father-in-law would look honestly on weekdays, so he was so treacherous.”
“Are you such a boast?” Chu Chuyan gave him a white look. “It’s a pity that the old fox Sanghong had expected that we would have such a rhetoric, so he said that he would let Sang Qian listen to his father’s dispatch in the future. Go all out to encircle and suppress illegal salt.”
Zuan sighed: “This should be the exchange of interests you mentioned earlier. The Chu family donated and lost, and the Sang family returned to help solve the problem of private salt.”
Chu Chuyan nodded: “My dad is thinking about the problem of the flooding of private salt, which really affects the Chu family’s business, and Sang Qian controls the Hefang Suppressor. With his cooperation, it will be easier than before to get rid of those private salt gangs. Much. If you can take this opportunity to completely eliminate the illegal salt, it would be worthwhile to donate a little appropriately. So he agreed to donate one hundred thousand taels first, and later the illegal salt gangs are completely wiped out, and the official salt is sold for income. After the increase, donate the rest.”
“That’s good.” Zu An nodded secretly, Chu Zhongtian is worthy of being the head of the family. Although he is an upright person on weekdays, he has all the cunning he should have.
“It was good at first.” Chu Chuyan sighed, “but the Wang family suffered heavy losses because of the foreign looting of Shangtun in the border gate a few days ago. A large amount of current funds were used to remedy the situation there, so I am temporarily nervous, so I proposed that this donation will not be counted as theirs for the time being.”
Zu’an had heard from her before that the transportation and sales of circulating salt during the Great Zhou Dynasty required official salt guides.
And to get the official salt guide, you can’t buy it with money.
It’s about how much food you need to transport to border war-critical areas before you can be eligible to purchase the corresponding share of salt.
It is not convenient for many salt merchants to transport their grain to the border each time, so merchants like Wang’s family appeared.
They are mainly responsible for sending food to the border in exchange for salt, and then selling the salt to other salt merchants.
However, if the grain is transported from the inland to the border, the journey is far away, and the loss during the journey cannot be counted. The overall cost is too large. Therefore, these merchants choose to organize manpower to the border to reclaim fertile land, plant and harvest on the spot, and then send the grain to the corresponding counterpart nearby. Border.
This method of farming farms is the so-called Shangtun.
“Has been looted by a foreign race?” Zu An said with emotion, “That is indeed a bit miserable.”
“Yeah, this time the Wang family really hurt their vitality. They can’t even afford to donate such an important thing,” Chu Chuyan sighed. “Then Sanghong didn’t say anything on the surface, but comforted him. With a few words, he turned his head and gave the Wang family’s lead in a nearby state and county to the Chu family, saying that it was to reward the family who actively contributed to the country.”
“Take the shore?” Zu An was taken aback.
After Chu Chuyan’s explanation, he roughly understood:
According to the laws of the Great Zhou dynasty, the purchase and transportation of table salt all require salt lead, but when selling salt, not only salt lead is required, but also an officially approved shore lead is required.
The landing is equivalent to the sales qualification of a certain area. Only a certain family owns the landing in this area to legally sell salt.
If you go to a shore for sale that does not belong to you, it is illegal. Not only will the goods be investigated and punished for the crime of illegal salt, the family that sells will also be severely punished.
Like cigarettes in previous lives, cross-regional sales are generally not allowed.
After understanding this, Zu An immediately reacted: “Sang Hong’s trick is cruel. The Wang family is an ally of the Chu family. His move not only severely damaged the Wang family, but also successfully separated the relationship between the Wang and Chu family.”
At this point, he had to admire Sang Hong. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t spend a single soldier, or even paid anything, and used the Wang family’s things to kill the Wang Chu family.
The key is that all this is in line with the laws of the Great Zhou. It is true that the Wang family can’t donate before. The court took the opportunity to withdraw part of his lead to the shore to reward those who actively donated.
The Wang family can only suffer from this dumb loss, and the evil fire has nowhere to break out, so it can only be sent to the Chu family, after all, he is the ultimate beneficiary.
“Why don’t we know that this was his plan to sow discord,” Chu Chuyan’s eyes were filled with worry, “but it is one thing to know, but it is difficult for the world to be absolutely rational, because there are many Wangs in this matter. People have criticized the Chu family, thinking that it was the Chu family deliberately plotting their shore.”
“There are always some idiots in a family.” Zu An commented, “And there must be Sang Hong secretly sending people to fan the flames. So you asked me to ask Wang Yuanlong to explain the misunderstanding?”
“It’s not just that,” Chu Chuyan replied, “Like our Chu family, Wang family, and Zheng family, these are general merchants. Retail investors from all over the world come to our shore for wholesale salt, often need to pay a deposit a year in advance. , And after receiving the deposit, the general merchants will use the money for turnover everywhere. After all, the money will be their own in the coming year, and it is not a problem to use it in advance.”
“But this time the problem is that the Wang family’s lead is handed over to us by the government, so they must refund the deposits of the retail investors.” A deep worrisome color flashed in Chu Chuyan’s eyes, “If it is normal It’s nothing, but now the Wang family is already a little stretched because of the looting of Shangtun’s capital turnover. If they have to take out this deposit, I am afraid that their family’s capital chain will break, and then the huge Wang family may collapse directly.”
Zuan was shocked to hear: “This Sanghong is really cruel and cruel. If he doesn’t make a move, he will kill him!”
“Yes, but it’s natural that our Chu family can’t just sit idly by,” Chu Chuyan said, “So I want you to entertain Wang Yuanlong at Shenxianju, privately give them the deposit, and then they will return it to the retail investors. Just take this opportunity to resolve the lumps in the opponent’s heart.”
Zuan’s eyes lit up: “Gao, this trick has not only solved the urgent need of the Wang family, but also ingeniously resolved Sanghong’s idea of separating the two families. I don’t know which expert in the house’s idea was the idea. .”
“It’s not an expert anymore, it’s just that I’ve seen a lot of intrigues in the shopping malls over the years, and instinctively responds.” Although Chu Chuyan said flatly, she still couldn’t stop the smug look between her eyebrows. Obviously she It’s the expert.
Zuan couldn’t help but smile, she was usually cold, but she didn’t expect that there would be such a little girl.
“Why do you want to change hands through me? And choose a place like Shenxianju?”
Chu Chuyan explained: “The main reason is to cover people’s eyes. After all, we are poor with the court, saying that we can’t afford to pay because of the proliferation of private salt, but we turned around to support the Wang family with such a large amount of money, whether it is court or Chu. The face of the family is not very good, and it is easy for political opponents to find opportunities for attack.”
“Secondly, the Wang family is also a well-known big family in Mingyue City. If someone knows that the money can’t be paid, it will easily affect the reputation of the Wang family, and it will also easily sweep the Wang family’s face. If the purpose of showing good is not achieved, it is easy to enmity.”
Zu’an couldn’t help sighing: “My wife, you are so attentive, you even thought of this.”
At the same time, I secretly complained, no wonder every time I have a slight smell of other women’s perfume, I will be smelled by her. It seems that I must be careful next time.
After receiving his compliment, Chu Chuyan also showed a faint smile on his face: “The third reason? I heard that you helped Wang Yuanlong once in Shenxianju a few days ago. With this opportunity, Wang Yuanlong will also sell you a face. , There will be no unnecessary misunderstandings.”
“More importantly, no one would expect that we will leave such an important task to you to complete.”
After hearing the last sentence, Zu An suddenly became unhappy: “Are you complimenting me or hurting me?”
Chu Chuyan was obviously in a good mood gradually, and she smiled, really making the whole house shine: “What is your image in everyone’s eyes, don’t you have any points?”
Zuan: “…”
This woman has been with me for a long time, and her mouth seems to be a little bit poisonous.
“Is the business done? After finishing talking, we will start today’s healing.” Zu An said with a gloomy expression.
Chu Chuyan’s face was reddened, and after a long time he hummed in a low voice.
Zuan looked like a domineering president, and looked at her coldly: “Take it off!”
