Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 152: [-]% belong to others
After receiving the appeal against thieves, Chen Mo was shocked after reading it carefully.

He had been wondering before that Qingzhou was so important, but the imperial court was slow to send troops to help. Until the fall of Qingzhou, it turned out that the imperial power had been ejected, and Prime Minister Xu Guozhong was in charge.

"Who is this King Huai?" Chen Mo's understanding of King Huai was limited.

Lu Yuandao: "Prince Huai is the uncle of the sixth emperor of the current emperor. He has a fiefdom in Huaizhou and many soldiers. He is the most powerful prince among the princes. Princess Huai is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in Jiangnan and a cousin of the current queen."

"Xiao family, one of the seven famous families?" Compared to King Huai, Chen Mo knew the Xiao family better, because the Xiao family was based in the south of the Yangtze River and had a profound influence in the south of the Yangtze River. All scholars in the world wanted to Become a disciple of the Xiao family.

Once you are recommended by the Xiao family, you can find an official position in the court even if you have no fame.

"How many people responded to this appeal to thieves?" Chen Mo asked.

"I don't know the exact number of subordinates, but before I returned to Qingzhou, I learned that the prefect of Yuzhou had mobilized troops to respond." Lu Yuandao.

"Yuzhou?" Chen Mo was shocked. If the Tianshi Army wants to go south, they have to take the two roads of Yuzhou and Fengzhou. If they want to attack Fengzhou, they have to cross the river. However, Yuzhou has many mountains and lakes, making it easy to defend. Difficult to attack.

Quanyang County belongs to Yuzhou.

Now that the Tianshi army has threatened Qingzhou, the prefect of Yuzhou actually dared to raise troops to fight against the thieves.

"County magistrate, this is a good thing." Zhao Daoxian suddenly interrupted.

"What's so good about it?" Chen Mo poured Lu Yuan a cup of tea and said.

"County Magistrate, look at what is written in this proclamation. Today, by the order of the Emperor, a large number of volunteers are gathered. Also, this proclamation can be implemented as soon as possible. We can also be volunteers. If we respond to King Huai's call, after King Qin succeeds, , we can get rid of our status as rebels and be rewarded based on our merits." Zhao Daoxian said with some excitement.

The Song Dynasty has ruled the world for nearly 400 years, and the rule of the Chu family is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the world is so chaotic now, it is far from meaning that the building will collapse.

Therefore, although Zhao Daoxian is currently a rebel, he is still quite excited to have the opportunity to remove his identity as a rebel.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yuan and Sun Meng's eyes lit up. They didn't expect to be able to operate like this.

"Does Lord Zhao know how far we are from Huaizhou? By the time we lead our troops there, the day lilies are already cold, and our family is in Pingting County. If the Tianshi Army finds out, we will be able to reap the benefits. ?”

Chen Mo glared at Zhao Daoxian, his suggestion was not realistic at all.

Besides, with his current strength, even though he is little Kalami, others may not look down upon him.

In addition, Zhao Daoxian looked at all aspects in a good direction.

Thinking about the worst, who will provide food and grass if it is over?
If you bring your family there, will you give up the local foundation?

Those who are unfamiliar with the land will be lambs to be slaughtered.

After Chen Mo explained all the disadvantages, Zhao Daoxian quickly gave up the idea.

Of course, Zhao Daoxian's suggestion of changing the family is not unfeasible, but the current situation does not allow it.

The current situation made Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the eighteen princes who were fighting against Dong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although the challenge to Dong was successful, it also resulted in the separation of forces among the various parties.

If the situation in the Song Dynasty develops like this, when the various forces are divided, it will not be too late to change the gates.

Let's put aside the discussion for the time being. Chen Mo asked how the sales channels were being opened.

"The county magistrate, the refined salt and the bottles of perfume I brought this time were all sold out very quickly after arriving in Jiangnan. There is no need to worry about selling. We don't need to find buyers. Buyers will come to us soon. that is."

"What is it?"

"The cooperation method adopted by Jiangnan is [-]-[-] cents. They help us sell the goods and then divide the accounts, instead of charging [-] cents per catty like Zhu Yongzhi." Lu Yuan said.

"Split the account three to seven, three of them and seven of us, that's not bad." Zhao Daoxian said.

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhao has overthought it. [-]% of it belongs to someone else."

"What?" As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked.

Sun Meng: "[-]%? What's the difference between this and an open robbery?"

If it is sold consistently per pound.

They could only get 200 cash, and after deducting costs, they only earned more than [-] cash, which was a two-thirds decrease from before.

Lu Yuan took out a ledger and handed it to Chen Mo: "It is recorded on it that there are several companies in Jiangnan that are interested in cooperating with us. Among them, the Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce has the highest conditions and is willing to share the accounts with us in June [-]th. Moreover, this Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce has the highest conditions. The Huang Chamber of Commerce has some relationship with the Xiao family.

If we agree, we can transport goods by water. With the voucher issued by the Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce, we can travel smoothly. There will be no traffic jams in various places, and even the water bandits on the river will have to give a little less favor. "

After saying that, Lu Yuan continued: "County Magistrate, you don't know that there are a lot of water bandits on this road. We only paid a dozen dollars for the passing money back and forth. The money we made from selling the goods to Jiangnan for trial sales this time, It’s almost all in.”

"Sixty-four points." Chen Mo rubbed his eyebrows. This business is really hard to do. Just sell a product and you have to take [-]%. He said: "What if we transport the goods to Jiangnan and sell them secretly? Just go out. Click on the passing money.”

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "The risk is too great. Without the nod of any of these companies, our goods can be sold in Jiangnan, but it is impossible to get the money back, and there will be jail time." .”

In other words, if you want to open sales channels in Jiangnan, you can only cooperate with any of them.

"Where else?" Chen Mo asked.

"Jiangnan is the most prosperous, with many wealthy people. It is best to sell refined salt in Jiangnan. Other places are not as easy to sell as Jiangnan. Moreover, it is also necessary to open up local connections. The money spent will not be much less." Lu Yuandao .

"Is this Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce reliable?" Zhao Daoxian asked.

"The Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the south of the Yangtze River. It can grow so big. In addition to having a backer, it must also have good credit, which is relatively reliable." Lu Yuandao.

Chen Mo sat upright, tapping the table with his fingers, took a deep breath, and said: "This is the only way. First, transport a thousand kilograms of refined salt and try to contact the Shenghuang Chamber of Commerce." Cooperation, now Chen Mo is also a little bit After experience, if we get along well, it is not impossible to discuss the subsequent shares.

"Where's the perfume?" Chen Mo asked again.

"It's all recorded in the ledger. Among them, a bottle of rose-flavored perfume can be sold for ten taels of silver, which is much more expensive than refined salt, and it is particularly popular. There are many maids from wealthy families in Jiangnan, and they have privately ordered several quantities from their subordinates. Here's the bottle." Lu Yuan smiled.

Chen Mo's eyes flashed.

Throughout the ages, it is true that women do the best business.

Take the current rouge in the city as an example. The most common rouge costs three to four hundred yuan.

However, perfume is different from refined salt. It is not necessary for daily use. The quantity sold cannot be too large, and hunger marketing is required.

……

Two days later.

The riverside of Fuze Village was a lively scene.

The working people are building canals to divert farmland.

Chen Mo is commanding dozens of reserve team members to build a perfume factory.

If there is no expansion, Chen Mo alone can produce up to three bottles of perfume a day.

Chen Mo plans to produce three categories of perfume.

They are roses, roses, and magnolias.

Because high-strength alcohol is used to make perfume, it costs money to buy it, which is relatively expensive.

Chen Mo simply built another small-scale winery, so that the extra wine could be sold directly to his own grocery store in the city. He didn't ask for how much he sold it for, he just hoped to make back the cost.

Just directed everyone to be busy.

"The county magistrate."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the distance.

Zhang He came on horseback, got in front of Chen Mo, and got off his horse.

Seeing Zhang He's anxious look, Chen Mo asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Yang Minggui sent his personal soldier commander here. Commander Sun said that the other party is a sixth-grade warrior and asked Brother Mo to go back quickly." Zhang He said, and took out a letter from his arms and said: "This is Yang Minggui entrusted it to you by his personal soldiers."

After receiving the envelope, Chen Mo habitually checked the wax seal first. Seeing that the wax seal was intact, he opened the letter.

After reading it quickly, Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly. On the surface, he was talking about He Jinwu, but in fact, he was talking about refined salt.

"How many people came from the other side?" Chen Mo said.

"More than 50 people, all cavalry." Zhang He said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo folded the letter and put it in his arms, and immediately ordered: "Go to Wanhe Tower to open a private room, invite the other party to the private room, and find the oiran from Zijin Tower, and ask Master Zhao to take care of him first." Eat and drink with you, I'll be there soon."

Being led by personal soldiers is equivalent to Yang Minggui coming in person, and Chen Mo can no longer treat Bai Su the same way.

"promise."

Zhang He responded with cupped fists, turned around and left.

Stepping back to Fuze Village, Chen Mo walked straight into the warehouse.

There was a clerk on duty in the warehouse. When he saw Chen Mo coming, he hurriedly called out "County Magistrate" respectfully.

Chen Mo waved his hand and withdrew a thousand coins from the warehouse, as well as a box of jewelry, and asked the scribe to write it down.

Then Chen Mo took another piece of paper, wrote some words, folded it and put it in his arms. Finally, he took the Qian Guan and a box of jewelry and went straight to Wanhe Tower.

In the private room of Wanhe Tower, Master Zhao was keeping company.

Yang Minggui's personal soldier commander is named Cui Shuang, a sixth-grade warrior, but he is relatively short in stature, only six feet tall. He looks to be over 50 years old. Judging from his face, he should have been more handsome when he was young.

At this moment, he was hugging a beautiful woman who was taller than him, with one hand deep in her skirt to lift her hand up and down, and with the other hand, he was holding a wine glass and drinking wine. He drank all the wine that Zhao Daoxian offered to him according to the order.

As the commander of Yang Minggui's personal soldiers, although the salary is good, because he is responsible for Yang Minggui's security work, he is not allowed to relax on weekdays, so he does not have many opportunities to enjoy it.

Now I can eat and drink for free and have beautiful women to play with. Only a fool will not accept it.

Although he has entered old age, his physical functions are not inferior to those of young men.

After pushing the cup and changing the cup, soon, a series of footsteps sounded outside the private room.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and Chen Mo strode in, followed by a group of soldiers.

These soldiers were carrying two wooden boxes.

The moment he saw the two wooden boxes, Cui Shuang couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Just by looking at the soldiers struggling to carry the boxes, he knew how heavy the wooden boxes were.
