Chapter 98
"More than two million taels?" In the study, Li Ji looked at Xiao Mo excitedly.

"My lord..." Xiao Mo wiped off his sweat, looked at Li Ji's halazi who was about to stay with some embarrassment, and said in his heart, what's wrong with Li lord? More than 200 million taels of silver, can't it be like this?Besides, the money has not been obtained yet, even if it is obtained, it is not his own, it must be handed over!

After being excited, Li Ji said to Xiao Mo: "Zi Heng! I really want to thank you very much, more than 200 million taels, uh...it may exceed this number in the future, it is really unimaginable!"

"Thank me?" Xiao Mo understood, it turned out that Li Ji was excited because of his political achievements!
Yes, if the proceeds from the sale of iron ore this time are handed over to the treasury, one can imagine how much repercussions it will cause in the ruling and opposition parties.

A county with less than [-] households in a three-year drought can still pay millions of taels of silver!What is this concept?
"Zi Heng!" After Li Ji calmed down, he returned to his usual appearance, and told Xiao Mo, "I have not misjudged the person! Zi Heng is indeed a wise man. This time, the matter of the iron mine will all depend on Zi Heng." Balance! It is best to deal with these merchants as soon as possible!"

Xiao Mo nodded. Although Li Ji didn't say it clearly, Xiao Mo also knew that Li Ji wanted to make achievements before August when his term of office was about to expire!

After thinking about it, Li Ji said to Xiao Mo: "When the time comes, I will definitely not forget Ziheng!"

Xiao Mo shook his head, and said with a smile: "My lord, Xiao Mo has been kind enough to know me, so I don't need to say thank you! Besides, Xiao Mo will also..."

Shaking his head, Xiao Mo sighed. "I'm afraid I can't be with the adults!"

"What's wrong?" Li Ji wondered, wondering if he wasn't good enough for him?

Xiao Mo gave Li Ji a blank look, if it wasn't for you who exposed Yun Xue's identity, would there be so many troubles?He complained in his heart, but Li Ji pretended to be confused about Yunxue, so Xiao Mo couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only say to Li Ji: "My lord, have you forgotten? A student is still a scholar, after all...you want to study! "

That's right!Li Ji nodded, and said, "It is true that you must not waste your studies!" Speaking of studies, Li Ji suddenly regained his energy: "Ziheng has been in the Yamen for so long, and I don't know how well you are doing with your classics, how about you?" Just now, let me test you?"

Now?Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "My lord, I was bedridden for three years, and then I dealt with county affairs... How long has it been since I studied?"

"That's it!" Li Ji was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to accept Xiao Mo as a student, but Xiao Mo refused to accept the offer, and he was a little helpless. Xiao Mo picked up the teacup!

Xiao Mo and Li Ji had a drink, then left the study...

Back at the household room, seeing Lin Yiye, Xiao Mo asked, "Liang An, how are you doing?"

Lin Yiye pointed to Sihufang, and said, "I invited you, but..."

"Why?" Xiao Mo smiled and said, "They are not willing to cooperate?"

"Hmm!" Lin Yiye was a little embarrassed, after all, this was the first time he failed to do something in front of Xiao Mo.

"No problem!" Xiao Mo was very relaxed. Since these businessmen are willing to come to the county government office, it means that they are still unwilling to leave Shen County like this. Since they are unwilling, then it will be easy!
Pushing away the people in the sihu room, Xiao Mo walked in with a straight face.

Seeing Xiao Mo, the four Zhejiang merchants were about to get up, Xiao Mo waved his hand to them and said, "Don't be hypocritical!"

The businessmen sat down in embarrassment, and they were also a little anxious. This afternoon, those who returned to the post station, whether they were from Zhejiang merchants or from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, were all talking about their achievements, but no one came to sympathize with them!
It's no wonder that businessmen pay more attention to profits, and these four people angered Xiao Mo. After seeing Xiao Mo's tough tactics, they all learned to be good!Now that they can get the iron ore, who will get close to them?
"Tomorrow morning's auction, I decided to keep four iron mines. After all, you have come from afar and worked hard. I don't want everyone to return empty-handed. But whether you want this iron mine or not depends on you. Your sincerity!" Xiao Mo didn't play around with them, what's the use of being around the line when dealing with businessmen?Straightforward is the most effective.

Hearing that there was hope again, the eyes of the businessmen lit up, and they all became happy.

"I wonder what your lord's request is?" Someone calmly asked.

"It's very simple. In terms of price, I will give you a fair price, but you have to do one thing for me!"

"Sir, please speak!"

"Tomorrow, I will ask you to participate in the auction, but there is one thing, you don't need to participate in the bidding of other iron mines, but the last four iron mines, you must compete with the bidders, the price is less than 80 taels, Never let go, understand?"

"80 taels..." The merchants looked at each other, but they didn't know what Xiao Mo was doing.

"My lord, what should I do if the other party shouldn't?"

"Shouldn't it?" Xiao Mo laughed, "If you don't pay the price, you shouldn't. I believe you all want to be involved in those four iron mines!"

"Okay! My lord must keep his word!"

"One word from a gentleman, four horses are hard to chase!" Xiao Mo laughed, and then saw off the guests.

After the four businessmen left, Lin Yiye walked in and asked, "Ziheng, will there be any problems with them?"

"No!" Xiao Mo shook his head, and said firmly: "After this afternoon, they already know who is in charge in Shen County, and they won't be so stupid, so they went to find Pu Wen and the others, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, They have nothing to do with it, merchants value profits, don’t think that one iron mine per person can satisfy them, they, ah, can’t wait to snatch these four big iron mines from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce or Pu Wen’s hands!”

Lin Yiye nodded, and suddenly admired Xiao Mo!
This is the skill!With a few words, Xiao Mo can convince the merchants to obey him.

In fact, in the final analysis, Xiao Mo just took advantage of their greedy nature!

Man is a special animal, but no matter how special he is, his nature cannot be changed.Xiao Mo took advantage of this, first broke up the alliance of the merchants, then secretly ordered them to fight for prices, and finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman!
