Old Zhang said that he was a young man, and Zhang Ci had already imagined that he had a young face, but the youthfulness of the visitor was far beyond his imagination. It seemed that the visitor was probably just in his early twenties. Aren’t the person who sent this guy afraid that such a young man would have a miscarriage of the so-called cooperation if he was a little rough? Before he could hear the young man speak, Zhang Ci had a strife in his heart. Although he was not the kind of person who only had qualifications, he did not believe in any genius. And when dealing in the officialdom, he never had such a genius.

"I have met the adults, Kong Xinhua, in Xiaxihe. This time I took the liberty to meet the adults for a business." After Kong Xinhua gave Zhang Ci calmly and without any politeness, he immediately proposed his purpose.

"Buying and selling? I don't know what the business you mentioned is?" Zhang Ci deliberately showed some arrogance.

"Our Kong family used to run a maritime business. Although this transaction is really dangerous, the profit is really high." Kong Xinhua said: "After working for the years, the wealth of my Kong family has increased a lot."

Zhang Ci picked up the teacup, and his lips touched the teacup, and then put it down again. He had heard that the Kong family had not had a good reputation in the official position, mainly because of the fact that he did not have enough "filial piety". However, he was quite famous in the local area and did a lot of good things. Their sea transactions were actually just smuggling. There was no normal trade between Dongping and Bei Liao. But both sides always had what each other needed. Although Dongping had built several large horse farms, he still had the military horses of Bei Liao.

Although they are keen on, the production of Dongping has always been a necessity for all walks of life and classes in Northern Liao. Although the two countries have been in a "embargo" state for a long time, the clocks of the Tissot clocks are still standardized equipment for many families in Northern Liao to show their status. In addition to having at least two routes on the water surface for trade, the Kong family also has many channels on the ground. Over the years, their business has been extremely large, and among the many business families in Northern Liao, there is no problem in entering the top three.

Looking at Zhang Ci's calm look, Kong Xinhua continued: "However, the geese were pecked at, and this time, our family was put on by Dongping. Lord Zhang, you should know that before Dongping started the war against Bei Liao, Dongping had significantly increased the price of grain purchases, right?"

Zhang Ci didn't say anything and nodded simply.

"The Dongping actually has no shortage of food, just to significantly reduce the grain reserves in Northern Liao. The price at that time was more than five times higher than the average price of grain in Northern Liao. Even with freight, it was a good profit. Last year, the harvest in Northern Liao was still good, and I didn't feel that I would fight at that time. Many families sold grain to merchants like me and sold large quantities to Dongping. The price of purchasing grain from the aristocratic families and the landlords was actually much higher than the average price of grain. The amount of grain flowing to Dongping at that time was shocking. Our Kong family specialized in

Trade is generally related to the aristocratic families in various places, but they can't get so much food. Otherwise, they would have to fall into it for such high profits. But as of now, there are still 20,000 stones of coarse grains in their hands. It's not that I want to keep it in my hands, but... Since the Dongping attack on Liao, the other party naturally interrupted the purchase of these grains. The purchase price of these grains is high, so it's difficult to take action. Moreover, sir, you also know that these grains are naturally fine on the road, but it's hard to say that they are trapped in their hands. Once people know, the matter of storing grains is really a bit... troublesome."

Zhang Ci looked at the young man seriously. The young man's story was very organized and allowed him to see that the young man's ability was indeed good. He was already attracted by what the young man said. 20,000 shi of grain... there must be some more. Otherwise, the Kong family could easily digest it with 20,000 shi of grain alone. Moreover, during this war, it was a good choice for them to hide and eat. Whether it was victory or defeat, how could these families doing maritime trade not have the relationship with Dongping? No matter how they cleared the power of the aristocratic families, it would not be their turn.

As expected, Kong Xinhua sighed and said, "As soon as the trade between the two countries stopped, many small and medium-sized merchants could not stand it anymore. Sir, you also know that trade, especially those with relatively high risks, is a fatal matter to smash a batch of goods into their hands. My Kong family can't stand it. My father and the merchants who were holding grains at home have successively purchased their stored grains from those merchants who felt it was difficult to save food. Now, we have stocked up dozens of different origins, different years, and different fine grains, which totaled 420,000 stones. Sir, this problem is quite serious."

Kong Xinhua seemed to be speaking carefully, but Zhang Ci could feel the calmness hidden behind this caution. "Sir, the price of grain is soaring now, which has long exceeded the price we purchased. But we are worried that people will be said to be ulterior motives. I heard that the court intends to purchase stored grain from the families of various aristocratic families. I had this idea, so it would be better to take this opportunity to deal with this batch of trouble. The matter of storing grains may be coveted, and there are quite a few enemies of my Kong family. However, it should not be a problem to handle such a large amount of grain, right? Of course, for such a large amount of grain, one must have an adult nod. If the adult agrees, he is willing to give all 420,000 stones of grain to the court at 60% of the current market price. The court can save a lot of money. Sir, what do you think?"

Zhang Ci sighed: "In this way, the court can save more than 100,000 taels of silver at once, which is naturally good. But [31 Novel Network       Fast Update], what do you want?"

"Sir, we are brave enough to make a guarantee. After defeating Dongping, the court will never pursue this matter again. At the beginning, whether to sell grain or store grain, it is a matter of one sentence. I am really worried about it at home and at home."

"I don't have the final say." Zhang Ci smiled bitterly and said, "I can promise you that I will help you to smooth out this matter when purchasing military rations. After all, it is good for you and me. I can save so much money and now I can do a lot of things. But...ah, I am one of the six divisions, but I am so gentle. If it weren't for the country's financial affairs now, I would have no successors, so why would I have to fight to the death?"

Kong Xinhua laughed and said, "Sir, although we, the Kong family, may not please many ministers in the court, have a good news and know that they can definitely make this decision. Moreover, the adults are worried about national affairs and do not care about their own interests. This is what I admire most. At this moment, the adults think of being frugal for the Northern Liao Dynasty, rather than taking the opportunity to threaten them. In this way, we pass the grain through the adults' hands. Although we dare not say that we make money, we will not lose much. If we look for other people, sir, you know that if there is no hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, no one will stand up for our Kong family. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of taels of taels of taels of this day, it is also important for the Kong family today. When cooperating with the adults, the Kong family only needs one word."

Zhang Ci sighed: "Since you said that, then do it like this. If there is any problem with this matter in the future, I will do my best to deal with it and keep the Kong family in mind."

Kong Xinhua bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, sir... In addition, sir, we have some relationship in Dongping. We can obtain some information, but most of this information has nothing to do with military affairs, mainly due to changes in the price of various items. What things have been purchased by the Dongping court and the Ye Family Workshop. sir... do you think these news are useful?"

Kong Xinhua's hesitant tone made Zhang Ci smile. He felt that the other party was a young man after all, and the elders in the family should have not explained it clearly in this regard. The information of these insights is of course useful. The secret spies in Bei Liao were wiped out too much, but the few old people who stayed in Beijing were all for a while. These indirect information could lead to many conclusions. Kong Xinhua quickly instructed: "It's useful and useful... Now, come again in a few days. I will introduce you to someone. It's better for you to deal with these things."

"No, sir, if you find it useful, we will hand over the information to you when you look back. In the court, we will only deal with you." Kong Xinhua said sincerely.

"That's good," Zhang Ci agreed without hesitation. As long as he can make up a story that is full enough, no one will doubt it. Now everyone is in a hurry to fight on both sides.

After Kong Xinhua left Zhang Ci's hinterland, he came to a villa in the north city of Yanjing. When he got out of the carriage, no one would associate the person they saw with Kong Xinhua who had just revealed his face. The difference between them was too big.

In the villa, some colleagues were already waiting for him, and it seemed that everyone was still making progress. A woman who looked like she was twenty-four or twenty-five years old saw him and asked, "How is it?"

"Kong Xinhua" said happily: "Sister, don't worry. This level is completely fine, I've been cheated through it. After that... I will turn a good person step by step into the kind of good person we like."

The woman smiled faintly and said, "Come on step by step, Marshal Ye is really too careful. According to me, it is completely unnecessary to weaken the enemy in this way. Anyway, I won't be shocked."

"Kong Xinhua" showed a little dissatisfaction and said, "Sister, don't talk bad about Marshal Ye."

The woman laughed and said, "I forgot that you are a fan of Marshal Ye. How could I say bad things about Marshal Ye? I know Marshal Ye is for everyone. He is willing to spend more time and money... Alas, but isn't it a bit too much this time?" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in.qidian., more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!)
