royal robes

Chapter 325
How can people not bow their heads under the low eaves?Even Song Yan, the leader of the Song Clan, is no exception. Since Liu Chong became emperor, the Song Clan has been under the jurisdiction of Liu Chong and has nothing to do with Guo Wei.Song Yan also helped when Guo Wei sent troops, which made Liu Chong very unhappy.

In order for the Song Clan to survive, Song Yan had to agree to Liu Chong's request, and let all the troops in the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures return to Taiyuan, and also accepted Liu Chong's canonization. Now Song Yan is the Southern King of the Northern Han Dynasty.Naturally, Zhao Jing didn't have to give this wronged money anymore, because the Song Clan no longer belonged to the Great Zhou, and Liu Chong should support Song Yan's sending troops to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and Liu Chong's reluctance to support had nothing to do with Zhao Jing.

People's hearts are the most important thing in the world, and Zhao Jing is very concerned about this.After all, in order to win people's hearts, the Zhao Clan sent countless gold and silver treasures to the Song Clan every month to support them in sending troops to Youyun Sixteen States.Now there is an excuse that everyone in the world can accept, Zhao Jing is very happy.

Originally, Zhao Jing hadn't planned to continue to give money a long time ago, because of the civil strife in Khitan, there was no need to continue the matter of sending troops to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.But in order not to offend Song Yan, the money was given for a few more months. Now that Zhao Jing no longer gave the money, Song Yan had nothing to say.

This was a catastrophe for the Song Clan. The Song Clan hardly had any income, but with the support of the Zhao Clan, they were still wealthy.But now the situation has changed. After the Song clan has no income, it will soon decline. There is no need to doubt this.

Perhaps Song Yan could retain part of his power with the title of Southern King of the Northern Han Dynasty, but he could only raise a few thousand soldiers and horses at most, and he couldn't afford any more.Although the Song Clan is not poor now, after having no income, Song Yan must find a way to save money and do everything possible to make money.

Fighting is fighting for money. Without money, soldiers will not work for themselves. Everyone knows this.Song Yan hated himself for cooperating with people like Zhao Jing, and also hated himself for being content with pleasure all these years and not making efforts to develop other careers. It was a mistake to attach all his economic lifeline to Zhao Jing, the most stingy person in the world.

Song Yan knew that he was not Lei Hong, and if it was Song Wangfu, even a small Jiedu envoy would not take him seriously.So Song Yan had to find a way to get money.

Now Song Yan can only think of one way, unless Zongxin Yandao's business can take part of the profits for himself, otherwise the Song Clan will collapse.

The first person to foresee this crisis was Yao Chi, Yao Chi, who came to Guo Wei's side without reservation, helped Guo Wei's family cure Gu poison, and did not hesitate to stay away from the Song Clan. The fight with Murong Yanzhao was all for Song Yan's future development, for Song Yan Valve has a better future.

As a result, Song Yan didn't expect Zhao Jing to have this trick at the time, and he didn't support Yaochi's behavior.As a result, Guo Wei really proclaimed himself emperor. At that time, Song Yan went to Guo Wei for help, which was just icing on the cake, and Guo Wei was not grateful.However, Yaochi helped Guo Wei a lot, and even saved the life of Queen Yang Shu, otherwise Yang Shu would not be able to support Zong Xin's return.

Yaochi's efforts may have greatly helped the Song Clan, but Liu Chong's proclaiming emperor in Taiyuan completely disrupted Yaochi's plan.Due to the situation, Song Yan accepted Liu Chong's award and became the Southern King of the Northern Han Dynasty.Even if Guo Wei was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would not be able to pay to support the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty. As expected, it was Liu Chong's cunning scheme that made Yaochi's plan come to nothing.

Now that the Song clan didn't know how long they could last, Song Qianqian was also anxious.She doesn't care about the Great Zhou and Beihan, she just wants the Song Clan to continue to operate, but if it continues like this, the Song Clan won't be able to last long.Soldiers need money for food, money for weapons and armor, and military pay, food and grass are all money. The soldiers of the Song Clan should not be allowed to fight hungry.

Although the Song clan is not yet poor, it is certain that the Song clan will become poorer and poorer.Unless you can get a lot of income, and Song Qianqian and Song Yan have similar ideas, the most profitable business in the world is Zongxin's Yandao. If you can find a way to get a piece of the pie in Yandao, you can sit back and relax up.

But what Zhao Kuangyin said was right, the Song clan didn't help Yandao's business in the slightest, so why should they share the proceeds of Yandao?Song Qianqian would never lower her status to beg that brother-in-law unless she had to. Now that she saw Zhao Kuangyin, she felt that if she could get his share of the benefits, maybe it would be fine.

To take so much money from someone surnamed Zhao, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than reaching the sky.However, there are always some ways. Since the relationship between the Song Clan and Zong Xin is so close, it is not impossible to benefit from it.

"My surname is Zhao, you have more money than Li Jing to do business in the Tang Dynasty, and you have to give Guo Wei money to do business in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you want to do business in the Northern Han Dynasty, should you also give the money to Liu Chong?" Song Qian Qian grasped the important point and stared at Zhao Kuangyin firmly.

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean?"

"Now that Liu Chong is the emperor, it may not be easy for your salt to be transported to the Northern Han Dynasty. The Northern Han Dynasty has mountains and no water, and the transportation of salt depends on the strength of men and horses. We Song Clan are useless now, but we can help with this. .But all the salt from the Northern Han Dynasty has to go to the south, and we Song Clan can distribute it.”

Zhao Kuangyin immediately understood what Song Qianqian meant. It was impossible for the Song clan to share the money directly, but it was not impossible if they wanted to earn some hard-earned money.Distributed from Baiyunzhuang to all over the world, Song Qianqian wants to take all the salt shipped to the Northern Han Dynasty. They can benefit from it and become the largest salt distributor in the Northern Han Dynasty, although the money they earn is not as high as that of Bai Yunfei. There are a lot of people, and it takes a lot of effort to transport the salt from Datang to Taiyuan, which is not an easy journey.

However, if the Song Clan became the largest salt distributor in the Northern Han Dynasty, after deducting the principal, taxes, and shipping costs along the way, the Song Clan would still earn an astronomical amount of money.Although the money is not enough to support the operation of the entire Song Clan, it can at least alleviate the temporary embarrassment and allow the Song Clan to have more time to think of ways, and after learning a lesson, the Song Clan will naturally think of more ways to make money. Never place your destiny in the hands of another person.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "I can make the decision on this matter, as long as you don't mention the matter of dividing the money. If you, the Song family, are willing to do this business, we can worry less. Well, you can directly send someone to Baiyun Village to pick up the goods, and I will Write a handwritten letter to Bai Yunfei. You don’t need to pay for the first time you pick up the goods, but you have to make up the money for the first time you pick up the goods for the second time. Do you think this is okay? "

"It would be great if this could be done." Song Qianqian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother Zhao, for your help. You are much better than my unscrupulous brother-in-law. My unscrupulous brother-in-law has three wives. You are now I only found one, is this elopement?"

"Don't talk nonsense... I forgot to introduce, this is Song Qianqian, the eldest lady of the Song Clan." Zhao Kuangyin said: "This Miss Zhao has the same surname as mine. She was captured by robbers while visiting her mother, and her mother also died of illness. , I am planning to send him back to Puzhou. After all, it is inconvenient for a weak woman to walk in the rivers and lakes, and it is easy to encounter danger. I will also send the Buddha to the west, and send her home to be at ease."

Song Qianqian was also taken aback. It was the first time he had known someone from the Zhao clan for so long, and this was the first time he had seen someone from the Zhao clan suffer such a disadvantage.It was a great kindness to save a person for no reason, and he was even going to escort this woman home. Puzhou was thousands of miles away, and Zhao Kuangyin was willing to send her home?Did you fall in love with this woman?
Song Qianqian shook her head, this woman looks very ordinary, Zhao Kuangyin has no shortage of stunning beauties around her, and her vision is not so bad.Of course, this girl is not ugly, but she is not far from a beauty.Since Zhao Kuangyin didn't take a fancy to this girl, then Zhao Kuangyin was completely out of kindness.

There are so many heroes in the world, but it is rare to see someone with Zhao Kuangyin's kindness.

Song Qianqian said: "My little sister admires it, but I never thought that Big Brother Zhao is the real hero. My little sister has a thoughtful sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The Zhao Clan is strong and powerful, raising 8 soldiers, and now it has the benefits of Yandao. If the Song Clan's expenses are removed, it will definitely be better than before. But..." Song Qianqian said: "The Zhao Clan will still fall into the hands of your elder brother Zhao Kuangji in the end. , you can get nothing. Zhao Kuangji is [-] years older than you, and he is also a martial arts wizard. It may not be easy to surpass him in martial arts. You and Zhao Kuangji are not enemies, but opponents. Use your own money to support your opponent Bing, do you think it is appropriate?"

"Alas..." Zhao Kuangyin raised his glass and drank deeply, sighing and saying: "You think I am willing? My grandfather just took away the [-]% of the income from Lei Hong, and I have no right to say no. And after all, I It is a member of the Zhao Clan, and doing so is also good for the Zhao Clan."

"You can't say it like this. You have been following Zong Xin just to get ahead? If you don't have this money, how are you going to feel proud in the Zhao family? I have a way for you to take back the [-]% of the income to support your soldiers. And Zhao Jing still dare not say no."

"Appreciate further details."

Song Qianqian said: "The method is actually very simple. Just like Zongxin, marry Guo Wei's daughter and give Guo Wei [-]% of Yandao's income as a dowry. Let Guo Wei make a show of stealing and force the Zhao Clan to take the money. People Under the low eaves, how can you not bow your head, my father Song Yan will bow his head to that idiot Liu Chong, does your grandfather dare to be presumptuous in front of Guo Wei?"

"The solution is good, but...Guo Wei has no daughter."

"Just ask Guo Wei to recognize a righteous daughter." Song Qianqian said: "You and Guo Wei need to discuss this matter together. I think that Guo Wei must have needed money in many places not long after the founding of the country. Maybe Guo Wei didn't care about money before. But now he must have a headache because of money. As long as Guo Wei nods and snatches back your [-]% of the income, you will have an answer in front of Zhao Jing. Guo Wei can make a princess at random, and you will naturally become a son-in-law and have yourself. As long as you work hard, even if your Fuma Mansion is not as good as the Zhao Clan, those people surnamed Zhao will not dare to look down on you."

Zhao Kuangyin's heart was moved by Song Qianqian's words, and there was a high probability that Guo Wei would agree to this matter.After all, the Zhao clan is too powerful, so it would be a good thing if this method can be used to control the development of the Zhao clan.My relationship with Guo Wei is also very good, as long as I discuss with Guo Wei secretly, no matter how the money is allocated, Guo Wei will agree.After all, this is free money. What Guo Wei lacks most now is money.
