Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Zhao Derong lost his former glory, his expression changed several times, and finally he calmed down and said to Changsun Huan:

"Haha, Brother Changsun, since you know everything but haven't reported it to the official, you must have some opinions, so don't hesitate to tell me."

"I just want to hear the truth." Changsun Huan said, then picked up the tea and listened attentively.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to talk to Brother Changsun. Brother Changsun is right. This batch of grain is sold to Goguryeo.

I have almost finished talking with the chief envoy of the Goguryeo mission.

Four million stones of food were transported in the early stage. "Zhao Derong sighed and told the truth.

"What's the price?" Changsun Huan asked.

"It's indeed thirty cents per dou. And the purchase price is the same as on the market, ten cents."

Zhao Derong replied. Seeing Sun Huan's confusion, he explained:

“The quantity we wanted was too large, and purchasing from various places would attract attention, so Zhao contacted an official in the south and asked him to sell the grain in the charity warehouse to Zhao.

Brother Changsun doesn't need to ask how to operate it specifically, and Zhao won't tell him. Zhao still has to live in the south. "

Changsun Huan nodded to express his understanding. It was a collusion between the government and businessmen to sell the grain in the warehouse at a high price, and then turn around and slowly fill the gap from the private sector.

"That is to say, it is not a transaction of 3 million guan, but a transaction of 4 million guan.

It turned out that Captain Zhao had something hidden.

That person still has another problem. The imperial court has blocked the port, and if he wants to go to Goguryeo, he can only go by sea. I don’t know how Captain Zhao can transport him there. "

"Brother Zhangsun, have you forgotten what Zhao does? The imperial court has blocked all the northern ports. We can load the ships from Lingnan Road and no one will find out."

After Zhao Derong explained, he looked at Changsun Huan and continued:

"Brother Zhangsun, this is a big business. Four million dan of grain can be sold for 9 million dan in Goguryeo.

We only need to spend 4 million yuan. We can gain wealth through risk. We are businessmen. Doesn’t Brother Zhangsun want to accomplish the goal he just set?

Doesn't Brother Zhangsun want to be a master and be respected by others?

A mansion with a hundred acres and over a hundred servants is not a fantasy. As long as it is done this time, everything can be realized. "

Changsun Huan pondered for a moment. Why is it forbidden by the imperial court? Which aristocratic family has never smuggled it?

A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

What he is thinking now is how to maximize his profits.

"I wonder how Captain Zhao plans to distribute these shares?" He looked up at Zhao Derong and asked.

"Old rules, I will take two million, and the other two million will be divided among thirty-six of you." Zhao Derong answered directly without thinking.

This was their past rule, and Zhao Derong took the lead.

Changsun Huan shook his head. Two million guans were divided among thirty-six people. Each person had tens of thousands of guans, and the most he could produce was 100,000 guans.

This is far from his dream of living in a big house.

"Why, brother Changsun is not satisfied with this distribution? Then how do you want to divide it?" Zhao Derong asked when he saw Changsun Huan shaking his head.

"I want 1.5 million yuan."

Changsun Huan's voice became louder and he invested a million dollars.

"What? No." Zhao Derong stood up and shook his head, his attitude very determined.

"Captain Zhao, four million guan, just give them one million guan. The remaining three million guan will be half for each of us. What do you think?" Changsun Huan also stood up with a smile.

"This is impossible. We agreed to make money with them, but now we only give them a share of one million yuan. How can Zhao break his promise?"

"Hmph, you broke your promise. You have already deceived them. Do you still need this time? Don't forget, this is a serious crime of decapitation.

The reason why someone didn’t go or report to the official was because of our past friendship. Can you tell them to give them more next time? "

Changsun Huan threatened Zhao Derong as if he was convinced.

Zhao Derong looked ugly.

"Brother Zhangsun, with all due respect, do you have that much money? You don't think Zhao will pay you if you seize this opportunity.

Even if Zhao doesn't do this business, he won't pay you. "

Changsun Huan was stunned. He really wanted to ask Zhao Derong to pay him just now, but now that Zhao Derong's attitude is so firm,

Since I have no substantive evidence, it is really not easy to report Zhao Derong. The most important thing is that Zhao Derong is a member of the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty.

But soon he thought of deciding first and then thinking about money.

"You don't have to worry about it. Captain Zhao just said it's okay. We are all a family, and I don't want Captain Zhao's family to be ruined because of this."

"You...Okay, as long as Brother Changsun can come up with 1.5 million guan, it doesn't matter if Zhao suffers some losses this time and gives them 500,000 guan.

But Brother Changsun, you only have three days. Don’t blame Zhao for not waiting for you after three days.

I hope Brother Changsun won’t tell anyone whether it succeeds or not. "

Zhao Derong finally compromised.

Changsun Huan saw Zhao Derong's helplessness and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Captain Zhao. I will rely on Captain Zhao's care in the future. I will definitely not tell anyone.

So he said goodbye. "Chang Sun Huan turned around and was about to leave.

"Brother Zhangsun, remember, we can reach an agreement with the other side in three days. At that time, Zhao will transport the money to the south by water.

If Brother Changsun fails to raise money by then, don’t blame Zhao. " Zhao Derong reminded.

Changsun Huan walked out of the mansion with a smile, got on his carriage and returned to Zhao Guogong's mansion.

Along the way, he was thinking about where he could get 1.5 million yuan, which was not a small amount of money.

He thought about borrowing money from his sister-in-law Li Lizhi, but soon he thought that Li Lizhi might not have that much money.

He also thought about stealing from the treasury, but he immediately rejected it. Their treasury now only has more than 2 million guan and less than 3 million guan.

If you take away 1.5 million yuan, firstly, if you take too much money, you might be discovered. Secondly, how can you steal it? It’s so much money.

At this moment, Changsun Huan no longer had the heroic words just now, but was a little worried about where the money came from.

Rich people such as his aunt, Empress Changsun, couldn't seem to get it even if he borrowed it, and his father would know about it.

How to do it? Changsun Huan thought about it all night but couldn't find a way out.

Early the next morning, Changsun Huan stayed up all night and his eyes were blue.

After getting up and eating listlessly, a servant came to report that someone was looking for him.

When I went out, I saw that it was Wang Hanwen and Liu Jinkui.

"Brother Zhangsun, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Wang Hanwen asked with concern.

"Haha, I didn't sleep well, are you two okay?"

"It's nothing. Brother Wang said that we should get together after Yuan Zheng and Empress Reunion to talk about some changes in the market and exchange news."

Li Jinkui replied.

Changsun Huan just wanted to refuse. He only had three days to think of something, but suddenly he thought that maybe the two of them could do something about it.

Even just borrowing some money would be fine, so he nodded:

"As it should be, let's go to the flavor restaurant outside the city. I'll invite you today."
