Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 31
I really think her Kong Linglong is made of gold.

Kong Linglong raised her eyes and glanced at Kong Wei, and said with a half-smile: "How about this, you write all the losses in the past few days into a list and give it to me, and then list the expenses and ask someone to send it to the house."

Kong Wei thought of a lot of countermeasures in his mind, but it was useless at this moment. He stared at Kong Linglong in a daze, and after a long time he came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Young Master, I'll go down and write the list."

Kong Linglong gave a soft nail indifferently, as if punching cotton with a fist, making no sound.

But Kong Linglong on the other end had already driven back to the residence, and asked Kong Wei to send all the corresponding loss lists by tomorrow morning at the latest.

As if there was only one night, Kong Wei held the Langhao pen, not daring to draw conclusions for a while, so he immediately turned around and ordered someone to prepare a car and go to South Lane.

Entering Kong Yaoguang's residence through the side door, Kong Yaoguang sneered when he heard Kong Wei's return, "Since she didn't agree to give you the money on the spot, then this matter is not over, and Kong Linglong will never give out 4 taels of silver for nothing." of."

Although Kong Wei thought so too, he was confused by Kong Linglong's attitude today and dared not jump to conclusions.

Kong Yaoguang forgives Kong Linglong for not being able to break through the Yandao situation. He chose this trap carefully, just waiting for Kong Linglong to jump down. He dared to look down on the uncles in the side branches. He wanted to see how noble her direct lineage was.

Going up is the salt road with the biggest loss, the hottest piece of potato in the business, Kong Linglong, as the head of the family, has to fill this hole.

Kong Linglong slapped the list in her hand on the table, and looked at Su Ye who was opposite her without saying a word.

Suye changed into a green and blue shirt with large sleeves, and it was even more elegant and elegant when he wore it, giving off a feeling of intimacy and tenderness.

Su Yesu picked up the list with his hands, glanced at it briefly, and said with a smile: "4 taels of snowflake silver, Linglong, your relatives are really cheating."

Needless to say, most of this money will go into those side pockets.

Kong Linglong couldn't see any joy or anger on her face: "If I fill this hole, I need to use other money-making Zhuangzi to pay for it, and it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other shopkeepers."

Suye put down the list, and said slowly: "You just took office, and it is the time when you are attracting attention. If you use other Zhuangzi's money to fill the salt tunnel at this time, although it will not cause a big disturbance on the surface, it will cause dissatisfaction in people's hearts. Your third uncle wants you to lose your heart first."

The head of the Confucian family who has lost the hearts of the people is still called the head of the Confucian family.

Kong Yaoguang's plan is directly targeting people's hearts, and it is also pinching Kong Linglong's weakness.

Seeing that Kong Linglong remained silent, Suye smiled again: "Have you thought of a countermeasure?"

Kong Linglong's voice was cold: "I haven't thought of it yet."

The incident happened suddenly and it was imminent. Since Kong Yaoguang wanted to join forces with his subordinates to plot against Kong Linglong, of course he had considered everything carefully. He had been in the mall for decades, with a thick face and a dark heart, and he was quick and accurate.

Suye opened the folding fan slowly, and took a look at Kong Linglong: "If you don't mind, I have a solution here."

Kong Linglong's eyes moved, and she looked at Su Ye. Since she asked Su Ye to discuss it, she naturally wouldn't mind, so she immediately asked, "What kind of solution?"

Suye smiled, clasped the fan bone with his finger and clicked on the list on the table: "Don't worry about gold and silver, isn't it because it's at the junction of Ye City in Xianyang, so the magistrates of the two counties don't want to take over? You just seal the two. Bao Yinzi was sent to the two grandfathers respectively, whoever tried the case will be rewarded according to the proportion of the loss, and if Shuiyu is caught, it will be determined according to Shuiyu's identity which family will take care of it."

Kong Linglong heard it in her ears, and was surprised that Su Ye's sword took a slant and completely left the matter of mending the hole aside, but his words opened up a new situation in front of Kong Linglong.

Kong Linglong couldn't help looking at Su Ye: "What do you mean, no matter whether the final trial results or whether Shui Yu is caught or not, it will have an impact on both sides."

As long as the government intervenes in the matter of the salt road, it represents a position, and the government is most taboo to get involved in the affairs of salt merchants, because in this dynasty, there was a first-rank prime minister who was directly sent back to his hometown because of his involvement in the illegal salt reselling case , A group of friends all sit together.Since then, all officialdoms have avoided getting involved with salt.Sometimes the situation is delicate, which is also the reason why the two previous two evaded the case and were unwilling to try it.

Su Ye smiled faintly: "Now that third uncle of yours has made it clear that it is difficult for you to do so, you can at least prove your position if you expose this matter to the government."

Kong Linglong is already the head of the Confucian family, and she will not let anyone control her, even if it is intentional.

Kong Linglong had already made a decision and said, "I'll order someone to do it immediately, and do it quietly."

Of course, it has to be done quietly, and only when the silver is ready, the magistrates of the two counties will work hard.But it is inevitable that Cheng Yaojin will be killed halfway, so he should be more careful.

Although money can't make ghosts grind, but after being an official for a long time, especially in a poor place like Yecheng, the county magistrate has to support his family, and occasionally he will take some cheap lawsuits.

Kong Linglong discovered the benefits of Suye, so she naturally had no doubts about the employer. Over there, Kong Wei received a message from Kong Linglong on the third day, asking him to come and answer.

At such a time, Kong Wei certainly did not dare to delay, and immediately drove to Kong's house.

Kong's house is located in Xianyang, but few members of the Kong family have actually visited it. This is the first time for Kong Wei. Seeing the various scenes in the courtyard, Kong Wei also sighed in his heart.

It has to be said that the head of the Kong family is indeed a respectable title, and the rich merchant's courtyard on the wealthy side is also so simple.

Kong Linglong received Kong Wei in the side hall, and Kong Wei naturally asked about the salt road.

"No hurry." Kong Linglong took a sip of tea slowly, and picked up a piece of paper from the table, "I have a certificate here, which needs to be signed by the escorts in the salt tunnel, especially the injured ones."

The astonishment on Kong Wei's face was obvious: "Young master, what are you?"

Kong Linglong had already handed over the certificate, and Kong Wei immediately took it, glanced at it hastily, raised his head and said, "Young master wants to report to the government, the Shuiyu incident is indeed rampant, but neither government is willing to take this case what."

Kong Linglong said slowly: "I know, but if there are water guards stationed in the two places, not only our salt road, but also the people passing by on the other water will be harassed, and our losses can't be made up. People are also implicated just like us, so it is still necessary to report to the government, we are just businessmen, and it is the government's business to track down the bandits."

Clearing up the bandits is of course the government's business, but Kong Wei explained the situation yesterday, because the place involved is special and it's a deadly salt merchant, it's no wonder the government is willing to take over.

Kong Wei was in a dilemma with the certificate, until Kong Linglong said: "You just need to ask those guys to pledge, and I have already taken care of the county magistrate's side. Since I don't know for the time being that the two sides are in charge, then the trial will be held first, and everything will wait." Catch Shuiyu and make a judgment after the identity is determined."

Unexpectedly, the young master came up with this idea. Kong Wei held the pleading paper and looked at Kong Linglong: "Since the young master ordered it like this, then I will also order the assistant to do it."

Kong Linglong nodded, then stretched out her hand and lifted the cover on the tray next to her, and said, "Here is 1000 taels of gold, you take it back to the warehouse first."

Kong Wei's expression changed. Seeing that the 8000 taels of gold had shrunk by 7000 taels, he took the 1000 taels back, but how would he go to the warehouse?He said: "Young master, the salt lost in the past few days was sent to the big households in the south of the Yangtze River. Every ship is extremely expensive refined salt. Now that the goods are gone, I have to compensate the people in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is any delay , I am afraid it will affect the reputation that the Kong family has accumulated over the years."

Kong Linglong tapped the table with her green fingers. This action seemed to be influenced by Su Ye. During the conversation, she tapped like this, as if she could inadvertently bring the other party into the rhythm she needed: "You are right, the Kong family is in business. Reputation is the most important thing, so of course you can’t fail to explain to Jiangnan. Today you take the certificate back, sign the calligraphy and painting, and then let Uncle Kong and Kong Shiliu from Dongxiang come to see me tomorrow. The only one who suffers this time is you Beibei Alley, the other side of the east alley also needs to give me the list."

Kong Wei held the certificate, feeling that he couldn't see what Kong Linglong wanted to do, saying that she didn't want to lose money, and she asked him to make a list of everything, but in the end he only gave out 1000 taels of gold, and Dongxiang Kong Shiliu's shopkeeper, also made a list.

Kong Wei stammered: "The shopkeeper Kong Shiliu in the East Alley has nothing to do with me, so do you need me to inform him to come to see Young Master tomorrow?"

Kong Linglong said casually: "No, you just need to inform Uncle Kong."

Among the side branches, Kong Yaoguang was the only one who could make Kong Linglong call third uncle, but Kong Wei was even more disturbed, so he just told Kong Yaoguang?Kong Wei inevitably has a guilty conscience, wondering whether Kong Linglong knows that he has a private relationship with Kong Yaoguang, but doesn't have that much friendship with Kong Shiliu.

Half an hour later, Kong Wei took the pleading paper and left nervously.

Kong Linglong watched him leave coldly, knowing that he would have to go to Kong Yaoguang to discuss it at night, 1000 taels of gold was the biggest concession she could make, and it would be best if Kong Yaoguang came over tomorrow to understand this.

But Suye was shaking a folding fan, leaning against the door in the evening sunlight, smiling at Kong Linglong: "That's right, if the head of the Confucian family is easily seen through by others, what is the name of the head of the Confucian family?"

Kong Linglong's current actions have obviously made Kong Wei feel like a cloud when he left. Even if he is as smart as Kong Yaoguang, at most he knows that Kong Linglong used the government to suppress him, but he probably can't guess. Kong Linglong only took out 1000 taels of gold, and the remaining 7000 Two, what are you going to do?
Kong Linglong's voice was mellow and clear and cold with a trace of a woman: "The wild goose plucks its hair, the beast leaves its skin when it walks, and the Kong family is united. No one can have two minds. It violates the family motto of Confucianism. Eat more." Of course, what you want to spit out."

Suye was not from the Kong family, but he unexpectedly understood what he said, and was a little moved.
