Chapter 29 Collusion (Chinese)

Yu Tonghai was moving very quickly. After a moment, he led a middle-aged man in his forties and seven feet tall into the main hall. Then he raised his face and threatened loudly, "There is my lord sitting in the hall. You have no idea what your little thoughts are, otherwise you will hum."

"I dare not, I dare not. Even if Caomin uses three courages, he dare not stroke the general manager's whiskers." Zhang Zhao, the chief manager of the merchants, immediately took a step back and waved his hand to respond. Then, he turned his body to Zhu Chongjiu, knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and kowtowed heavily, "Camin Zhang Zhao, I have met the general manager, I wish the general manager's military luck will last for a long time and win every battle."

"Yeah, get up and talk." Zhu Chongjiu frowned, tried his best to pretend to be majestic, and ordered in a deep voice, "Tonghai, let someone bring him a chair."

"There is no seat for the grass-roots people in front of the chief executive." Zhang Zhao quickly raised his head and waved his hand hard, "Zhe killed, Zhe killed, please take back the life of the chief executive."

"If you let me sit, just sit." Yu Tonghai reached out and grabbed the man's arm and pulled him up hard, "Don't talk nonsense, our Huaian army will not kneel down."

"Then, thank the Grand Chief Manager Long'en." Zhang Zhao first pretended to behave and struggled for a few times, then stood up and bowed to Zhu Chongjiu again. Finally, he looked around and sat down half of his butt against the wooden chair brought by the personal soldiers.

"Tonghai, go to the backyard and ask the kitchen to send a pot of tea." Zhu Chongjiu looked him up and down a few times, and continued to give orders slowly.

Life is a typical northern ghost, with a kind of stubbornness in honesty. However, Zhu Chongjiu, who has two lives's memories, dare not take it lightly because of his honest appearance. In his opinion, being able to collude with high-ranking officials and plunder the people's wealth and ointment are all traitors and evil people. Whoever thinks they are honest and honest will definitely end up being able to swallow up even the scumbags.

"Caomin, what kind of virtue is the grass people? I dare to ask the chief general to give tea, kill him, kill him." Zhang Zhao secretly looked at Zhu Chongjiu while talking politely.

What he saw was a bronze smiling face, with little murderous aura, and even a touch of unconcealed tenderness, thick fingers and overly burly figure, proving that this person was indeed like the legendary, born in the market and had been engaged in a low-key business for a long time, but occasionally the light flashed in his eyes, but at the same time, it put Zhang Zhao very much pressure, as if everything he thought in his heart was clearly seen at a glance.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is relaxed. Since you are here to discuss business with Zhu, you are Zhu's customer, so don't be too polite." After going up and down to look at the other party for a while, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and smiled and encouraged him.

"Then, that's the grass people, thank you for your kindness in the great general manager." Zhang Zhao quickly stood up again and bowed to Zhu Chongjiu again.

Both sides were tempted at this moment, so a few polite words were extremely boring. In a blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the room became awkward, and no matter what they said, they were incorrect.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long. Soon, Yu Tonghaiji ran back with a huge copper pot. Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyeng were also ordered to arrive. Zhu Chongjiu introduced the three of them to the "Guest". Then, the guest and the host were polite again. After all the red tape was torn, the previous awkward atmosphere had been wiped out.

"Please use it slowly by Manager Zhang. My Huaian Army has never deliberately made things difficult for anyone. Even if your boss is a high-ranking official in the capital, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble and the caravan does not violate the laws of my Huaian Army, there is no need to think about the miscellaneous things." Zhu Chongjiu took a few sips of hot tea first, and then gave Zhang Zhao a reassurance with a smile.

"Caomin is far away from the north and has heard of the kindness of General Manager Zhu, so Caomin is actually not worried about his goods at all." Zhang Zhao immediately put the teacup on the ground, then started to serve, and said loudly, "Caomin just wanted to ask his colleagues for his request. In the future, the general manager would release goods from Jiaozhou Bay to sea. As usual, how much water would the Grand Manager pump. After Caomin knew about it, he would have a charter to arrange their respective goods to be loaded."

"One of ten draws is a decisive rule. As long as Jiaozhou Bay is still controlled by our Huaian Army for one day, it will not change again." Zhu Chongjiu did not think about it and quickly accepted the call.

Instantly, the kindness on Zhang Zhao's face disappeared in an instant, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, "The chief executive is kind, the sea is full of wind and waves, and there are many dangers along the way. It is a blessing that ten ships can be released and five ships can be safely returned. There are several maritime departments in the south, and the grass people have no more money. If the chief executive draws one ten, the grass people will be completely lost."

"Is that right? I'll draw one in the thirty. I'm just at the Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse Bar. Zhu remembers that it should be fifteen. Could it be Zhou's mistaken memory?" Zhu Chongjiu smiled and slowly fought back.

"So, the imperial court's Maritime Bureau has been reduced from more than ten to three now, but Caomin and others are still forced to go into the sea secretly." Zhang Zhao's face turned slightly red, and he did not dare to take it head-on, so he quickly changed direction.

This sentence is very threatening. The Mongol Yuan court's Maritime Department draws one for 15th, so they have to find a port to go to sea to escape tariffs, making those Maritime Departments useless, and finally have to be cut off by the Mongol Yuan court itself. If the Huai'an army insists on drawing one for 10th, they will also deal with it, abandoning Jiaozhou, the seaport, so that the Huai'an General Administration can't receive a penny.

Immediately, Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong frowned and glared at Zhang Zhao, the shopkeeper of the business bank. He was about to reprimand him, but Zhu Chongjiu's faint voice came from his ears, "Since that's the case, why don't you let your own goods go to Zhigu in the future? It seems that there is no management of the Maritime Warehouse Bureau over there. As long as the handling is done properly, you don't need to pay another penny. Zhu doesn't need to add any manpower here, and you care about the troubles of you vendors."

"This" Zhang Zhao didn't expect that the legendary profit-oriented Ju Fozi suddenly felt the trouble of counting money, and was stunned for a moment, with a slight sweat on his forehead.

"I'm going to draw alone, no matter whether you enter or leave the port, no matter how much the goods are sold in other places." Zhu Chongjiu glanced at him lightly and slowly returned another trick. "If you have been to Huaian and Yangzhou before, you should know that the rules mentioned by Zhu are not set for you alone temporarily."

After saying that, he didn't care about Zhang Zhao's reaction, picked up the teacup and savored it carefully.

"Where is going, Zhang Manager Zhang decides for himself. Our Huaian Army will never force people." Feng Guoyong also smiled and helped, then followed Zhu Chongjiu's appearance and drank tea slowly.

Although Chen Ji and Zhang Yi were confused when they heard this, they saw that their lord was so calm that they knew that Zhang's surname might not have taken any advantage in the first round of negotiations. They also smiled and turned their eyes and energy into the teacup.

The entire Daluhuachi Yamen main hall became extremely quiet in the blink of an eye. Apart from the occasional sound of waves and wind passing through the window, there was no more noise.

The ratio of 10 to 10 is the tax rate tested in Yangzhou and Huaian and other places. Although at the beginning, many vendors jumped up to express their opposition, with the implementation of the new tax system, everyone gradually calmed down. The reason is very simple. Although the tax rate of the Mongolian Yuan government was thirty to 100 yuan, inside, it added some tricks such as single draw, double draw, check-out, miscellaneous donations and business cliques. It must be calculated that even the Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse Department, which was clearly ordered by the court, had a tax rate of export goods as high as more than 20%. As for the tax rate of imported goods, it would have to be doubled.

However, the tax rate of the Huaiyang General Administration is a real price of one ten. After all the goods are drawn once, they will no longer be drawn again. No local government has the right to set up a card to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, compared with the two, the real tax rate stipulated by the Huaiyang General Administration is much lower than that of the Mongolian Yuan. Taking the superficial tax rate of the Mongolian Yuan as an example, it is simply a nonsense.

Zhu Chongjiu is not afraid of his opponent's nonsense.

The guy named Zhang has spent so much effort, not just to save some tariffs. At the moment, both sides are fighting and fighting. In fact, they are just continuing to test each other. The business they really want to do is not Hai Mao at all. Zhu Chongjiu believes that he is not wrong in guessing this, and he also believes that the other party knows very well.

Sure enough, just one or two minutes later, Zhang Zhao began to make concessions, gritted his teeth, and said in a very painful manner, "Since the rules of the chief executive cannot change, the grass-roots people and grass-roots people can only recognize it."

"Shopkeeper Zhang must not force him." Zhu Chongjiu put down the teacup and waved his hand with a smile, "Since you are here to discuss business with Zhu, of course you are in love and will last for a long time. If Zhu is just happy on his own, he may have a lot of trouble sooner or later."

After the words came, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly looked better. After changing several colors in succession, he smiled and bowed, "The chief manager was joking, Caomin, how dare he go back on his word to the chief manager? Caomin was anxious just now, so he said the wrong thing. Caomin, Caomin, Caomin, ask the chief manager to forgive him."

"Forget it, if you are going to negotiate a business, you will inevitably ask for a lot of prices and pay back the money by landing." Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand with a smile and responded with a pleasant look, "But"

"But what." Zhang Zhao immediately shivered in his heart, and blurted out his words of asking questions.

"But if someone is not sincere, no matter how hard he bargained, it would be a waste of saliva. It would be better to be serious from the beginning. Manager Zhang, do you think the words of this manager make sense?"

"Yes, yes, the chief executive said very well." The sweat beads on Zhang Zhao's forehead oozed out one by one, and he jumped off the stool and responded with his hands.

Although he did not dare to underestimate his opponent from the beginning, he never expected that Ju Fuzi's ability to do business was far ahead of marching and fighting. After a few rounds, he forced him, the old world who had been struggling in the shopping mall for many years, to be stretched.

He didn't expect that Ju Fuzi in front of him was a person with two lifetimes of memory. In addition to making all kinds of money-making objects, his best attitude was probably to do business with others. He went from Xuzhou to Huaian and Yangzhou all the way. Even if he fought with Chen Wansan, he didn't suffer any losses, let alone his typical "system" official businessman.

However, for businessmen, winning or losing is an ordinary thing. As long as they have not left the market, they cannot be considered completely defeated. Therefore, after a moment, Zhang Zhao, the manager of Jiaozhou Commercial Bank, cheered up and bowed to Zhu Chongjiu with a smile, "The chief manager forgives the crime. Caomin was greedy just now. The chief manager should actually know that Caomin had shipped goods from Jiaozhou and did not pay taxes to anyone at all. Therefore, I was confused just now and I was a little confused and didn't know how to advance or retreat. I hope the chief manager will forgive me if he offends."

"It was the matter of the Dayuan Dynasty that did not impose your taxes. Zhu never made an exception for anyone here. If you feel that you have a loss, it must be very easy for your master to find a port to go out to sea from another place." Zhu Chongjiu smiled and said nothing.

"I won't look for it anymore, I won't look for it anymore. My master actually always admires Manager Zhu very much. He would rather spend more money and make friends with Manager Zhu." Zhang Zhao immediately took his words and responded loudly.

The drama is coming. Not only Feng Guoyong, who used to help Green Forest characters sell stolen goods, Zhang Yi and Chen Ji, two relatively pure scholars, also understand that the negotiations are finally about to get to the point, cheer up and watch the battle in a concentrated manner.

Zhu Chongjiu took a few sips of tea again, then turned his eyes to his opponent again, and asked with a smile, "Oh, how can you say this? Can Manager Zhang be more detailed?"

Zhang Zhao quickly looked around, then blinked his eyes and responded, "My master has always believed that the reason why General Manager Zhu raised an army was because the court was too forced. However, now there are a group of blind people in the court from top to bottom, so that heroes have all their skills, but they have no chance to make a comeback. Although my master sympathized with General Manager Zhu and other red scarf heroes, he was alone and did not dare to express it openly."

"After saying this, your master is a visionary," Zhu Chongjiu shook his head, revealing a skeptical look.

Zhang Zhao thrust his chest and responded proudly, "It's not just foresight. My master's mind, demeanor, or his abilities and vision are far from comparable to that of a child in the country. Under his rule, almost every family does not close their doors at night and does not pick up any leave."

"Puff." Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong all quickly put down the teacup and turned their heads aside. It took a lot of effort to avoid spraying the tea on their front collar.

There is such a beautiful place in the world since its founding, since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been corrupt officials and thieves in the countryside. Even in the capital, there are only a few days without a curfew in a year. How could it be that the paradise that Zhang Zhao said? If there really is, the people would have flocked to the family and flocked to each other. How could it be that? It has not been known to the outside world yet.
