Chapter 193 Get the Evidence
The reason why Master Gou delayed like this is the same. As for the depth of the real situation, whether there is any hidden love and evil in it, it is not what Master He thought.
In this Ming Dynasty court, the officials at the top and bottom only care about themselves, and the interests of the class they represent behind them. As for where you sell the salt you will get in the future, even if you sell it to the prohibited Outer Mongolia and Jurchens, for the Salt Imperial Gate, it has nothing to do with selling it or not, it only means that you have the ability and it is too late for everyone to envy it.
At the same time, with such a major stance, it has opened up a channel for the sales of salt. What's more important is that according to the news that Zhao Xing deliberately revealed, connecting the official who was valued by the emperor is still a good aid.
As for not thoroughly investigating the real background of this unknown guy, it is the capital and here, but unlike later generations, who pick up a mobile phone to dial a few numbers and find a few acquaintances, and you can immediately grasp everything about your ancestors in the 18th generation. In this era, security guards basically rely on dogs, transportation basically rely on roaring, and information basically rely on roaring. For this little thing that is worthless, they have to check it frequently, and it is ultimately the year of the monkey and horse month. Business is a matter of seizing the day, and the matter is to pass through this village and lose this store. Waiting time is equivalent to delaying a lot of money.
Time is money, and in ancient times, it was understood more thoroughly than modern people.
Another point is that everyone is in the officialdom and has a face-to-face taboo. In the view of the Yan Jing, since the Donglin Party members can be re-activated by the emperor when they occupy the court, and there is also capital to grasp, it is enough to prove that the father behind Zhao Xing is an important figure in the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party members all claim to be gentlemen, and they claim to not compete for profit with the people every day in the court. They even sneer at this issue of money odor.
Although they are trying to protect the stinky thing behind them, under their disciples, they use their relatives, friends, or servants, and use their own identities to do things to compete with the people for profit and empty the country. But these things can only be done but not said. To make it clear, it is equivalent to exposing the shortcomings and slapping the face. There is no need to establish an enemy.
As for someone who plots against them, they are more confident that it is impossible. Because the censor occupies the height of speech, only they supervise the impeachment of others, so where can anyone dare to supervise impeachment of them? In addition, the salt inspectors have already put their kingdom in a solid manner. It is too late for those people to curry favor with them. While they have no ability to shake their foundation, can't they get along with the money?
"Last time we met, we were quite in love and were even more moved by your filial piety, so I talked with the Censor. The Censor was particularly kind and wanted to make friends with a sincere colleague. After making arrangements and making some calculations, fortunately there was a little salt, so I specially asked my brother to come and inform the young master to fulfill his wish."
Zhao Xing was overjoyed at the time and asked anxiously: "Thank you for your care, sir. I wonder how much share can you have?"
Looking at the anxious expression, Master Gou smiled: "I have seen everything you should see, and you have also weighed the price and throughput in your heart. How about 10,000 shi?"
At that time, the price of salt had reached four cents of silver per pound, which means that one hundred pounds of takeout could reach 40 taels per pound, and ten thousand pounds per ounce, which is 400,000 taels. The profit in this period, even if it is wholesale, would be 100,000 taels.
Zhao Xing was embarrassed and greedy and asked carefully: "Can you give me more? I am willing to pay 10% more for the sake of long-term."
Master Gou smiled slightly: "It's not impossible, but you need to wait."
One percent of the benefits are enough to make Master Gou feel moved, so he made such a promise.
Zhao Xing asked carefully: "Why, how long do you have to wait?"
Master Gou said: "Recently, I am preparing stocks for another master's road. There is not so much balance. For the sake of the first 10% of the high school, 20,000 stones will be delivered in ten days."
Zhao Xing stood up happily and clapped Master Gou: "A word is determined."
In order to add another big customer, Master Gou was also a generous big customer, he happily clapped Zhao Xing: "A word is determined."
After the high-fives, Zhao Xing said generously: "Let's do this, I will give the extra 10% to the teacher first, but the teacher has to give me a document." Then he said apologetically: "Of course, this layer is not included in the document, I think it's good?"
Of course, Master Gou knew that in this place full of money, a gentleman’s promise is indeed unrealistic, just treat it as P. In fact, even farts are not as good as because farts still taste good.
He laughed at that time: "Ling Ran" and Leran." Then he took out a document from his arms covered with the seal of the salt inspector in advance, borrowed paper and pen, and added 20,000 stones in front of Zhao Xing, and threw it to him lightly: "Young Master, don't worry now."
While ordering Mao Shouyi to put two thousand taels of gold directly on Master Gou's car, Zhao Xing thanked happily: "Of course, don't worry, of course." Then he also felt happy: "I have already grasped your first evidence of guilt, and I am happy."
With a full face of gratitude, showing his 8 white teeth, he sent Master Gou onto his carriage and left with a sincere look.
Mao Shouyi, who was beside him, felt distressed: "I spent more than two thousand taels of gold. Do you think it's worth it?"
While walking back, he taught this petty guy arrogantly: "If you want to do a big thing, you have to make a heavy bet. The most taboo thing about giving gifts is fragments, such as long-lasting flow and deep feelings at full pace. That's all the way. This is an era of profit-seeking. If you want to give gifts, you will be beaten to death with one stick. This is the kingdom."
Then he glanced at his subordinate who was distressed from Liaodong: "Besides, we are in Yansui, and we have implemented the new policy for Hong Chengchou. We have done a lot of work to defeat local tyrants and divide the land, confiscating the property of those local tyrants and evil gentry. I said to Hong Chengchou well at that time, everyone is half of it. So, we men are rich."
Mao Shouyi muttered: "You can't waste it like this even if you have money."
Zhao Xing smiled: "I will send it out today, and that is just for him to keep it for me temporarily. After 10 days, he will return it to Zhao in full, and it will be returned a hundred times and a thousand times." Then he sighed: "For business, you should do this, give him gifts, leave evidence, and then sue him."
