Hearing what she said, Zu An was instantly dumbfounded: "You want to go to the brothel?"
Chu Chuyan gave him a blank look: "Of course I am not going, but let you make an appointment."
"About whom?" Zuan was curious.
"Young Master Wang Family, Wang Yuanlong." Chu Chuyan said sternly.
Zu An 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. Could it be some childhood sweetheart drama? I'll go, how will my life be? It's so bitter..."
Damn, I knew I wouldn't save that surname Wang last time in Shenxianju, let him be beaten to death by Chen Xuan.
Chu Chuyan was embarrassed 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 was 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 we need wealthy businessmen everywhere to donate and contribute to the country."
Zuan nodded, Chu Chuyan mentioned to him about the donation before.
"Because I just donated once last year, even no matter how great the family is, I 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 officials The status quo that the salt cannot be sold is an excuse, which means that it cannot be paid for temporarily."
Zu'an couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't expect that the father-in-law looked 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 it. Dad dispatched and tried his best to encircle and suppress the salt."
Zuan sighed: "This should be the benefit exchange you mentioned earlier. The Chu family donates and loses, and the Sang family returns to help solve the problem of private salt."
Chu Chuyan nodded: "My dad is thinking about the problem of private salt flooding that really affects the Chu family's business, and Sang Qian controls the Hefang Suppressing Company. With his cooperation, he wants to get rid of those private salt gangs. It’s much easier than before. If you can take this opportunity to get rid of the private salt completely, it’s worth donating a little appropriately. So he agreed to donate one hundred thousand taels first, and later the private salt gangs are completely wiped out and the official salt is sold. After going out to increase income, donate the rest."
"This is good." Zu An nodded secretly, Chu Zhongtian is worthy of being the head of the family. Although he is a square 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 due to the looting of Shangtun in the border gate a few days ago by foreigners. A large amount of liquidity was used to remedy the situation there. So I am nervous for the time being, so I proposed that this donation will not be counted as theirs for the time being."
Zuan had heard her mention before that the transportation and sale 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 the amount of food you need to transport to the border war emergency area 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 every time, so merchants like Wang's family appeared.
They are mainly responsible for sending grain to the border in exchange for salt, and then selling the salt to other salt merchants.
However, if the food is transported from the inland to the border, the journey is far away, and the loss on the way is not counted. The overall cost is too large, so these merchants choose to organize staff to the border to reclaim fertile land, plant and harvest on the spot, and then take the food nearby. Send to the corresponding border.
This kind of farming method is the so-called Shangtun.
"Has been looted by a foreign race?" Zu An said with emotion, "That is indeed a bit miserable."
"Yes, this time the Wang family really hurt their vitality. They can't even take on such an important thing as donation," Chu Chuyan sighed, "Sanghong didn't say anything on the surface. On the contrary, he comforted him a few words. Turning his head, he 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."
"Ashore?" Zu An was taken aback.
After Chu Chuyan's explanation, he roughly understood:
In 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.
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 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 punished heavily.
Like cigarettes in previous lives, cross-region sales are generally not allowed.
After understanding this, Zuan 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. "
He had to admire Sang Hong up here. From start to finish, he didn't have to spend a single soldier or even pay anything. He used the Wang family's things to kill the Wang and 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 enthusiastically donate. Even if the report goes to the capital, no one picks a half. Wrong place.
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 is his plan to sow discord," Chu Chuyan's eyes were full of worry, "but it is one thing to know, but it is difficult for the world to be absolutely rational, because of this matter. Many people in the family criticized the Chu family, thinking that it was the Chu family deliberately plotting their shore."
"There are always some idiots in a family." Zuan commented, "And there must be Sang Hong secretly sending someone to stir up trouble. 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, they are general merchants. Retail investors from all over the world come to our shore for wholesale salt, and they often need to pay one year in advance. A deposit, 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 will arise
We were handed over to us by the government at the Wang’s shore, so they had to refund the deposits of those retail investors. "A strong worry flashed in Chu Chuyan's eyes, "If it is normal, it would be fine, but now the Wang family is already a bit stretched because of Shangtun's looted capital turnover, and they have to come up with this deposit, I am afraid they The family's capital chain will be broken, and then the huge Wang family may collapse directly. "
Zuan was shocked when he heard this: "This Sanghong is really cruel. If he doesn't make a move, he will kill him!"
"Yes, but our Chu family can't just ignore it," Chu Chuyan said, "So I want you to entertain Wang Yuanlong at the Shenxianju banquet, and give them the deposit in private, and then they will return it. Those retail investors. Just take this opportunity to resolve the lumps in their hearts."
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 who is in the house. People’s ideas."
"It's not a great person anymore, it's just that I've seen too many intrigues in the shopping malls over the years, and I just responded instinctively." Although Chu Chuyan said flatly, his eyebrows still couldn't help but feel a little smug. , Obviously she is the expert.
Zuan couldn't help but smile. She was cold on weekdays, but she didn't expect to see such a little girl.
"Why do you want to change hands through me? And choose a place like Shenxianju?"
Chu Chuyan explained: "The main thing is to cover people's eyes. After all, we are poor with the court, saying that because of the problem of the flood of private salt, we can't afford to pay, but we turned around to support the Wang family with such a large amount of money, whether it is Neither the court nor the Chu family looks 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. When the time comes, not only will it fail to achieve the purpose of showing up, but it will also be easy to get enemies."
Zu An couldn't help sighing: "My wife, you are so careful, you even thought of this."
At the same time, I secretly vomit. No wonder every time I have a little perfume from other women, 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 in Shenxianju a few days ago. There is an opportunity to sell Wang Yuanlong. You save face and will not cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
"More importantly, no one would have expected that we will leave such an important task to you to complete."
Zu An suddenly became unhappy when he heard the last sentence: "Are you complimenting me or hurting me?"
Clearly, Chu Chuyan's mood gradually became better, and she smiled, really making the whole house shine: "What kind of image are you 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 bit poisonous.
"Are you finished talking about the business, I'll start today's healing after talking." Zuan said with a depressed expression.
Chu Chuyan's face was reddened, and after a long time he mumbled.
Zuan looked like a domineering president and looked at her coldly: "Take it off!"
