106 Two tea citations
Although the folk customs are much more open than in the early Ming Dynasty, it is not open to men who confess their love directly to women. If they say such a good thing, they will write a poem implicitly and express their feelings with the poem. Since ancient times, the parents' orders that marriage emphasizes, and the media's words, to put it bluntly, this can be said to be confessing or a concise. Even though Zhao Min is knowledgeable and has participated in the family's business operations many times, she still feels off guard when encountering such a thing.
However, the smart Zhao Min quickly reacted, endured the shyness in her heart, and pretended to say unexpectedly: "My joking is here. With his talent and identity, I think many women are willing to throw themselves into their arms."
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Haoshan to answer, Zhao Min immediately changed the topic and said, "Sir, this time I came here was entrusted by my father. I don't know what the tea is causing. Can you do it?"
He was not angry, nor did he refuse on the spot. Just now, the beautiful Zhao face flushed and Lu Haoshan was in his eyes, and he was happy: There is a chance.
A beautiful lady is a gentleman, and Lu Haoshan is not without ideas about this naturally beautiful and intelligent Zhao Min. Nine out of ten men are lustful. Almost all men have ideas about beautiful women, but most of them are wise and have no courage. Zhao Min is beautiful and smart outside, and can manage business for the family. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is a manifestation of uneasiness, but in Lu Haoshan's eyes, such a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside is the most respectable. In fact, it is not bad to think about it. Zhao Min is a stunning beauty. The Zhao clan has a profound background. If he marrys Zhao Min, he will naturally get the full help of the Zhao clan. It is better to have a backer than to have a lonely man.
Judging from Zhao Min's performance, the beauty is also interested. There are so many people in Zhaojia Village, but no one is not sent. Zhao Min comes to spread this. I guess the old fox Zhao Yuqing is also making this idea. Hehe, everyone is thinking about it, but let it be natural. I guess no matter what, this matter will only be answered after the tea and horse transaction.
Lu Haoshan nodded and said with a smile: "The tea quotation matter has been settled, Miss Zhao wait."
Soon, Lu Haoshan returned to the back yamen and took a tea entourage, handed it to Zhao Min with a smile, saying, "This time we are secretly buying tea. As for the place of origin and the seals of the tea farm, you don't have to care about it."
This time, Lu Haoshan and Zhao Yuqing decided to conduct 60,000 kilograms of tea, avoiding high taxes, and transporting it out of the Ming Dynasty in the form of private tea to obtain high profits. When the Zhao family purchased tea, they also collected it secretly. Therefore, Lu Haoshan chose some remote tea farm seals, which is also the reason why Zhao Yuqing was anxious. If someone secretly bought tea, it would be a big blame. If there was tea in hand, it would be intercepted by people from the Tea Horse Department or the Tea Inspection Center. It would not be a matter of being killed.
Lu Haoshan asked curiously: "Miss Zhao, as far as I know, you have secretly purchased more than 20,000 kilograms of tea. Has no one noticed it?"
"This is simple" Zhao Min said calmly while looking at the tea yin: "Sir, this tea has tribute tea, official tea and merchant tea, so there is no need to say much about tribute tea. The difference between officials and merchants is that official tea is sold outside and merchants is domestic sales. Just make a southern merchant purchase contract and say that this tea is used as merchant tea. For example, the tea purchased by the contract is 5,000 kilograms, and we secretly buy it twice. In this way... Oh, sir, you... aren't you kidding, why is this tea yin awful?"
Zhao Min pointed at the tea guitar and was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She said that she was allowed to collect 80 kilograms of tea.
The Ming Dynasty tea citation stipulated that each citation was 100 kilograms, and those with less than 100 kilograms were called Jilin. This time, the amount agreed by the Zhao clan and Lu Haoshan was 60,000 kilograms, which was only 80 kilograms. Isn't this a joke? Zhao Min was so anxious that she was sweating on her forehead.
If you are a joke, then this joke will be too big.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, take a look at this again." Lu Haoshan smiled slightly, then pulled out a tea guide from his sleeve and placed it gently in front of Zhao Min.
"Is this, 60,000 jin?" Zhao Min picked it up and looked at it. Seeing that the 600 jin in black and white words were written in front of him, totaling 60,000 jin, he calmed down. Then he thought about it and immediately understood that the magistrate of Lu made two jins in a row, probably to evade taxes. After all, it was tens of thousands of jin at any time, so it was difficult to not attract attention. However, it was too strange to get a tiny one.
I looked at the tea quotation carefully and said, yes, the procedures were complete and all the seals needed were available. The county magistrate Lu did not speak nonsense. He did not expect that his energy was so great that he could get things done quietly. It is said that he has been staying in Jiangyou recently and trained the so-called picket team very carefully.
It's amazing. If you don't move, you can get tens of thousands of kilograms of tea by just using letters? Zhao Min was shocked and wanted to go back and tell his father about this matter. It seems that he needs to re-evaluate the county magistrate who is not visible and uncovered.
Lu Haoshan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to refresh himself, and then said slowly: "Miss Zhao, you can rest assured now."
"The adults are very good at making great efforts, and the little girl admires them. Then these two teas are attracted..."
"Put it away, it's not something valuable." Lu Haoshan said with disrespect.
Not worth it? Looking at Lu Haoshan's indifferent look, Zhao Min didn't know what to say. The status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty was not high. Sometimes, for a permit, they beg their grandfather to sue their grandchildren, pretend to be grandchildren every day, and suffer all kinds of difficulties. Even if they are not lucky, it would take several times more effort to complete the things that were easy to accomplish. Although some merchants have a high status and many officials have to give face, it is not that he can do business, but that he is just a representative of a big man. There are so few officials and businessmen of this type.
This county magistrate Lu relied on the people in the court to speak without any back pain. But this is better. The bigger his backer, the more his family will benefit.
Zhao Minzhen took away the two teas with great importance and said happily: "If you have any help, the little girl will definitely take it back and hand it over to her father. I think he will definitely be very happy."
Seeing Zhao Min's careful appearance and obviously did not believe what she said, Lu Haoshan was secretly proud of Zhao Min. Zhao Min must have come into contact with many tea entries. She couldn't see that this was made by herself, and this was undoubtedly a affirmation for herself. This is the power. If you believe in him and worship it, you will be enslaved by it, just like an official seal. If it is deified, it is just a piece of metal or a piece of jade, and there is nothing magical. For Lu Haoshan, the cost of these two tea entries is not included in labor. The cost is less than one or two taels.
It's really not worth it, but he clearly told the truth, but the other party didn't believe it. This is the highest level of fraud. Lu Haoshan has no reason not to be proud.
"By the way, Miss Zhao"
Zhao Min immediately responded: "Sir, please give me the order."
Lu Haoshan said lightly: "This tea quotation is fine, but you also know that this tea quotation was issued secretly, but the government actually has no records. There are not many insiders. If the official records are available, then we have to pay most of the profits. Lu means that when collecting tea, your Zhao family will still purchase it in the form of commercial tea, and you can't be serious about everything. Right."
"Of course, don't worry. You won't show this tea guide easily unless you have to." Zhao Min finished speaking. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty said that you are responsible for transporting tea leaves out of the country. I wonder which one will be responsible for sending it?"
"It's far away, it's near before you."
"Sir, you?"
"No," Lu Haoshan said with a serious look on his face: "This way, you Zhao clan can rest assured."
Lu Haoshan believed this matter a little, but now there is no investment. The tea and horse trading in front of him is his only way to make money. Naturally, he has to be more focused. If he doesn't have the strength, he will not make money. Lu Haoshan is determined to make the tea and horse trading business bigger and stronger, and decided to take action himself. Besides, the law and regulations are broken, and tea may not be good. Lu Haoshan prepared it early in the morning.
Zhao Min said in surprise: "But sir, you have an official position. Once you go, the transaction will go smoothly, and it will take two months to go back and forth. Can sir be gone?"
The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were notoriously low, and they didn't give in on holidays, and they only had three days. How could they get there? Besides, this was too dangerous. For some reason, Zhao Min began to worry about Lu Haoshan, and he didn't understand what it was for.
Lu Haoshan had already thought about this issue early in the morning and took leave on the grounds of returning to his hometown to visit his relatives. The holiday was small, but it was not allowed to take leave. Although some salary was deducted, Lu Haoshan didn't care about the three melons and two dates. However, when he was taking leave with the prefect, he would be more than willing to worry about it, and these were also within the scope of his tolerance.
Although the person is not there, Lu Haoshan pretends to be someone in the court, which is enough to shock the people in the county yard. Even if they are not there, they dare not act rashly. This is one of them. The second is that the taxes have been paid this year and no major happens. As for the position of county magistrate, Lu Haoshan deliberately throws out bait, one for raising funds for the new army, and the other for balancing, overthrowing Chen Gui, helping Cao Hu up, and then inserting Liu Jinzhu into the third squad of fast yards. By then, Cao Hu and Zhang Yunhui form two forces to check and balance each other, and Liu Jinzhu monitors it, which can be foolproof.
Everything is in your own calculations.
Lu Haoshan said calmly: "Ms. Zhao, don't worry, everything has been arranged. With Lu's accompanying you, you can come forward and solve any problems in a timely manner. This risk cannot be borne by your Zhao clan alone."
"Sir Gao Yi, the little girl thanked the Zhao clan for her behalf." Lu Haoshan, who had the means to go there together, so the tea and horse transaction was even more foolproof. Zhao Min did not disagree. Although this time it was a test trip, the Zhao clan spent a lot of manpower and material resources.
"Miss Zhao, Lu has something to ask for."
"Sir, please give me instructions."
Lu Haoshan said with a serious look: "Can you give me the route of this trip first? By the way, it is best to have officials, garrisons, passes along the way, and you may encounter information from the Tea Horse Department or Tea Inspection Institute on the way. If there are detailed information from their main person in charge, such as interests, hobbies, weaknesses, etc., then it would be even better. I think with the cleverness of the old patriarch Zhao, these information should be there?"
"Anyway" Zhao Min said without hesitation: "After the little girl returns, she will send someone to send her one to the adults." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
