Chapter 134 Easier said than done
"Lin Quan (Zhu Dian), a businessman from Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, has met Zhongyong Hou."
Chen Shou smiled and said, "You two don't have to be polite. You come from afar. It's so hard. Please sit down quickly."
The two of them looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Chen Shou, the Zhongyong Hou, who is famous in Jiangnan, was so polite. You must know that he is not a good reputation in Jiangnan.
It is rumored that this person dominates the court, eliminates dissidents, and is very murderous, just like Dong Zhuo and An Lushan in the current era.
Now it seems that he is not only handsome, handsome, handsome, and very kind.
Taoer and Liuer brought two chairs, and they were kind enough to thank them before they sat down.
Chen Shou reached out and said, "This is my adopted father."
Miao De nodded with a smile, and the two of them quickly stood up to salute again. Even the people from Jiangnan knew that Chen Shou's rise was based on four godfathers. The four eunuchs of the Great Qi Dynasty were all his godfathers, and this luck should be against the will of heaven.
"Take tea!"
After Chen Shou finished speaking, Tao'er returned to the screen, took a kettle and filled the teacups for the two of them.
The two of them smiled and nodded, and Chen Shou smiled and said, "The tea in Jiangnan is far better than that in Daqi, but my tea is unique, please taste it carefully."
The two of them picked up the teacup, gently fiddled with the mist, and tasted it very fragrant.
When you give gifts to others, you will have something to ask for. Although Chen Shou gave enough face to both of them, Lin Quan and Zhu Dian were both businessmen. When you talk about business, you cannot just accept your favor just because you have a break. When it is time to discuss, you should still strive for greater interests.
However, Chen Shou's courtesy still left a good impression in their hearts and preconceived ideas.
"It turns out that good tea. We, the marquis, should have been grateful to the Marquis for such kindness. However, we were employed by the chamber of commerce, but we did not dare to make our own decisions. Today, we still have to make some promises for the Marquis, so we can go back and report our lives."
Chen Shou glanced at Miao De? The two of them laughed and said, "If you think I am hiding a knife in my smile, then you are wrong. I am doing business with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce? Is it sincere? You are in Jiangnan and the price, and I will collect the original price!"
The two men's expressions darkened. The loyal and brave man smiled. I wonder if he was really stupid or pretending to be crazy? The prices in Jiangnan were Jiangnan? He had to worry about being robbed on the road and freight on the road, so how could it be equivalent?
"I'm afraid this is not right?" Lin Quan said: "We transported it to Tanggu for more than a thousand miles. There are many pirates on the way, which consumes countless manpower and material resources. And to do not hide it from the Marquis, we have to bribe the officials in Jiangnan to avoid being investigated by the government. This is also a lot of money."
Chen Shou's face sank and said, "It's easy to say? We can discuss this again."
Miao De smiled and said, "The price can be negotiated. After pricing, it must not increase again. The most important thing is."
Zhu Dian said anxiously: "How can there be a constant truth?"
"This one is not good, that one is not good? Do you just tell me the price? Do I have to accept it all according to the order?" Chen Shou asked angrily.
"Is this... all about it?"
Chen Shou nodded, pretending to be a completely amateur, and asked, "How much do you sell overseas? I can buy it at the price, right?"
"Half of the list purchased by the Marquis is not sold overseas forbidden goods. Moreover, along the coast of Daqi, there are many fishermen going into the sea to pirate and rob passing ships. We were deeply hurt by the fact that we transported to Koryo and Japan, let alone to Daqi directly. It is reasonable to increase the price appropriately." The two nodded and responded to each other.
Chen Shou sighed and said, "If you think Daqi is dangerous, you can transport it to Goryeo. I can send someone to Goryeo to transfer."
"Why do you have to be so troublesome? Isn't it easier to go directly to Tanggu? If the Marquis and the Prime Minister of the Great Qi, if they are willing to open a business, I think the monarchs and ministers in Jiangnan will definitely agree happily."
Chen Shou thought to himself, if I were the magistrate of the entire Daqi, he would have been the navy to cross the south. Not to mention the military towns in Jiangbei, how many counties could there be in the two Huaihe Rivers to listen to me?
"Since everyone has so many differences, why not take a day off each other, list their own prices and details, and discuss them tomorrow."
Chen Shou was scared to expel the guest order, and the two of them were not easy to talk anymore, and they also wanted to go back and discuss with the people who came with the Chamber of Commerce.
Chen Shou got up, took them down the pavilion in person, and returned to the upper floor and smiled: "The merchants are pursuing profits. If they want to minimize the price, I think they have to negotiate more than ten times."
Miao Dedao: "We don't have enough money on hand, so we have to think of a way."
---
At Longmen Mountain, Jiang Chu opened a file and his face became increasingly ugly.
"This guy Chen Shou used the puppet little emperor he supported to issue twelve orders to send troops to Li Xin. He also said that we colluded with the Mongols in Longmen Mountain and intended to attract foreign races into the pass, which was simply shameless."
Although Longmen Mountain was about to contact the Mongolians, Chen Shou took off his hat before they could do it.
This made Jiang Chucai embarrassed. If he contacted Mongolia, he would have yellow mud in his pants and would not be able to explain clearly.
Without contacting the Mongolians, he asked himself that he was not Li Xin's opponent, especially Li Xin, who had enough money, grain and materials.
"If it's a critical moment, then it's okay to have a little reputation." Jiang Qixun said viciously: "The Mongols went south and lacked a hole. If it really doesn't work, we will join Mongolia."
"But... there are several Khitan states in the middle."
"The Khitans are weak. As long as we can get along, they are eager to take revenge and will definitely be willing to send troops. Even if the entire army does not go south, there will be a Mongolian elite army to help with the war. We are more than enough to defend Longmen Mountain."
Jiang Chu was silent for a long time before speaking out: "Even if I want, other families in Hedong may not be willing."
"If you don't want to muddle the water, let the Mongols take over it! If it really doesn't work, just cooperate with the White Lotus Sect for the time being! Anyway, they regard Chen Shou as their mortal enemy, just like us." Jiang Qixun completely let go.
They all saw that Hedong did not have the strength to compete with Li Xin, who was backed by the court. In order to protect himself, he could only look for foreign aid.
Jiang Chucai punched the table with a punch and said in a deep voice: "I originally meant to take the entire Hedong territory first, and then I could compete with the Central Plains. Who knew that Chen Shougou thief first used the White Lotus Sect to collude with the Baibogu Yuan family, so that there was a nail on my heart. Then he took advantage of the chaos to recruit soldiers and occupied many fortresses. Now he is pressing step by step, and he doesn't give me a day to manage Hedong at all."
"Don't hesitate. The day when Li Xin's army arrives is when Hedong is completely in war."
Jiang Chucai sighed and said, "Then our Longmen Mountain will completely lose the moral foundation."
"In the future, I will sell the White Lotus Sect and drive the Mongols out."
