.Ma Wu Ye was really helpless. He clearly occupied the economic artery of the Ming Dynasty and tried his best to carry private goods. He invaded the grain of rice alone, but he still couldn't support the gangs. This was like guarding a golden rice bowl, but he still had to go out to beg for food!
Although in his opinion, the transaction for the transfer of the Maritime Warehouse Department must be much smaller than the scale of the canal transportation, the former deals with merchants, while the latter deals with the government. One can make money, the other suffers only, and the results of the results will naturally be very different.
After thinking for a while, he felt very moved, but the old man's face would not reveal any trace of his heart. Instead, he was patient and said coldly: "This method is good, but it cannot be saved. And to say that it is sad, can the Maritime Bureau be opened? I feel that there is little hope."
Chen Si knew that the other party was asking for a price everywhere, but he didn't plan to pay it back on the spot. He grabbed Master Ma Wu's hand and said, "Fifth Master, do I have a dumbfounded voice to you brother?" He was really fed up with Master Ma Wu's impotence and was so stubborn that he decided to do something fierce!
Master Ma Wu was shocked at first, and then flattered and said: "You always joke. You are Wen Kuixing in the sky. If you recognize me, then I am Gao Cang."
"Okay!" Chen Si held Ma Wu's hand tightly and said boldly: "Since the fifth master recognizes me as a brother, then your difficulties are mine!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said: "Madam, get the money!"
Ruohan took out a cowhide bag from her sleeve, took it silently, and slapped it directly into the palm of Ma Wu's hand and said, "If it's not enough, just ask your brother again!"
When Mr. Ma Wu opened the bag, he saw that it was the largest Huitong Money Bank in Jiangnan. The silver notes issued were 10,000 taels per bill, and the thickness was no less than fifty. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide in a frustration - this was 500,000 taels. Even without the Maritime Warehouse Department, it would be enough for his Cao Gang to support him for seven or eight years!
What silence requires is this effect. He strikes while the iron is hot and said to Master Wu, "If the matter of the Maritime Bureau is completed, my promise remains unchanged. If it is not done, I will give Master Wu another 500,000 taels. I don't believe that for ten years, we will not win the war against the Japanese!"
It was Ma Wu's turn to be uneasy. He originally thought that silence was desperate, so he came to take advantage of himself. He was an old man, so he naturally knew that this relationship would not last long. No matter what promise he made silently, it would be like a blank check and it was unlikely to fulfill it. Maybe he had never thought about fulfilling this matter!
He had seen too many officials, holding them, such as the "lowest people" as chamber pots, which were so close that they were not good when used. When they were used up, they would kick them far away, as if they were afraid of being smoky.
But his silent and heroic actions made all the doubts and barriers in his heart disappear like hot snow!
Now he looked at the silent eyes, full of gratitude, admiration and even admiration. He excitedly held the silent hand and said, "I shouted you brother, from now on, I, Ma Wu, will be in trouble for you, and I, Songjiang Cao Gang, go through fire and water for you!"
Chen Si also held his hand tightly and said emotionally: "Old brother, we want to enjoy our happiness together!"
The touching scene made Ruohan secretly wipe her tears...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why should I take out 500,000 taels of silver at this time?
This is the insidious point of the Shen family's mother. When in the carriage, Ruohan said to Chen Mo: "I have planned it. 300,000 taels of silver is enough to knock the Songjiang Cao Gang unconscious." As he said, Chen Mo: "Do you want to get him out of here? Or do you wait until the end to take a photo?"
"Is there any difference?" Chen Si laughed. He enjoyed his wife being infected by herself, and she became more and more modern in private.
"Of course there is." Ruohan's white fingers cage the scattered hair for silence: "If you want to use it for a while, it's best to take pictures as soon as you come up, it's quick and worry-free."
"What if it's a back shot?" Chen Si reached into Ruohan's collar and kneaded it delicately: "No wonder everyone says women are made of water."
"It's a serious matter." Ruohan held his silent hand tightly, preventing him from moving around, but not letting him pull him back. He said with a red face: "If you make clear the interests first and then take action, then congratulations to the master. You can subdue a gang of ten thousand people, which will be very beneficial for opening a port in the future."
"Why not do it?" Chen Shu smiled and said, "By the way, how many years will it take for 300,000 taels?"
"It's no problem for three years." Ruohan said: "I have estimated that the annual deficit should be between 60,000 and 70,000 taels, but considering that once you have money, you will definitely get big, so you only have three years of confidence."
"Three years is not enough," Chen Si said in a deep voice: "It is generally believed that the war against Japanese destiny will last for ten or eight years, and we have to cover this period." He said with a smile: "If it is three years, it will be very unhappy that the other party cannot feel our sincerity." Just as in terms of business sensitivity, silence is not as good as Ruohan, and his insight into people's hearts, Ruohan is not as good as silence. The couple is not perfect, but once they collude, oh no, they should learn from their strengths and weaknesses, and then they will be invincible.
Ruohan thought for a while and said, "You are the head of the family, you have the final say." As he said that, he took out a cowhide bag from under the seat and said, "This is the official ticket given by Lu Bing. Before I come, I will exchange it for Huitong's silver ticket, 500,000 taels, count?"
"Oh, good niece." Silence seemed to have taken a huge advantage, and smiled with a proud look on his face.
Ruohan reacted, pinched the soft flesh under silent armpits without hesitation, and said coquettishly: "It's so necrotic!"
Just as Ruohan was afraid of itching, silent and painful, she quickly pressed her down and said, "Didn't you not tell me about this money?"
"That's the past!" Ruohan was indeed attracted to his attention and said angrily: "I used to think Lu Bing was a good person, so I didn't want to take advantage of him. Now he actually indulged his family to bully my husband and kept it for him?" As he said that, he shook his small fist and said: "I will beat the Lu family to cry sooner or later, and kowtow to my husband and I will be finished!"
Silence is like sweat, thinking that people can pretend. Before getting married, Ruohan was so quiet and gentle. Now he has become a husband and wife who can't even get off. His little fangs and little personality are revealed. But thinking about it, how could Miss Yin, who was so powerful for eight years, be just a petite lady who was timid?
'But I like it...' Chen Si chuckled secretly, holding his wife and couldn't let go. If he really married an honest and cowardly lady from a wealthy family as his wife, that would be the greatest sorrow in his life.
"What are you laughing at?" Ruohan looked up at him and said.
"I have found the treasure." Chen Si said happily: "Why did you say that you were on the same boat as me?"
"People say that I have achieved the blessing after I have cultivated for eight lifetimes." Ruohan said shyly: "It seems that I must have been a great charity in my previous life."
"It seems that we have all found the right person." Silent smiled proudly.
The stinginess of the young couple is really goosebumps...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The silent loyalty and responsibility completely aroused the heroic spirit of Mr. Ma Wu who had been dormant for many years. He also showed his monk's truth without reservation: "Brother, I know that the more food you want, the better. There are 150,000 stones in the public warehouse of our Cao Gang, and 50,000 stones in the private secret warehouse, which is leaked from the Cao rice. However, because it has been accumulated over the years, it is quite old and complicated! I will talk to the old men behind now, and I will make a decision for you today!"
What does it mean to change people's hearts? This means to change people's hearts! Affected by the soaring grain prices in Suzhou, Songjiang's grain has also risen to more than 5 taels. If they weren't worried that the grain prices would continue to rise, they would have long since thrown out the grain prices... Although it would inevitably lead to a huge drop in grain prices, 700,000 silver is still fine.
Ruohan looked at the silent eyes and became extremely admiring, thinking that his husband was indeed unfathomable. He actually bought at least 700,000 yuan for money and invited people's hearts to buy gold.
'This is the difference between art and Tao?' Ruohan is almost worshiping her husband to death... Little did she know that the silent classmate is also full of surprise now. He didn't expect to get so much food at all. He couldn't help but shout in his heart: 'The introverted and sexy burst out really terrifyingly!'
Seeing that the two mothers and mothers were in a daze, Ma Wu was afraid that they would take Qiao and quickly explained: "I, as the leader of the gang, have the final say in ordinary small matters, but for such a big matter, I have to tell the old seniors." He said with a guarantee: "Don't worry, I am still very prestigious, and the old seniors all listen to me."
Silent nodded and smiled, "Do you need me to go with you?"
"That's better." Ma Wu smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you two to meet the elders of our Cao Gang."
When he went to the backyard, he introduced to the two that the Cao Gang had a "De Gaotang". Any elderly person over 60 years old who had not violated the "Ten Eleven Precepts" could move in and enjoy the support of the entire gang... In fact, in this era when the average lifespan of working people was less than 50 years old, few people who were engaged in the Cao Gang could survive so long. There were only a hundred people in the Songjiang Cao Gang, and basically they were the helmsman, deacon, accountants, and other mental workers.
These people are highly respected, and the Cao Gang is related to their rest of their lives. They will not betray the Cao Gang. Therefore, the whole gang trusts these people very much and agrees that the leader of the gang must first discuss with these old people for any major matters.
He heard this silently nodded and said, "No wonder the Cao Gang can prosper for hundreds of years. The rational system is a very important reason."
"It's less than a hundred years since the title Cao Gang." An old man stood under the eaves and smiled. He had already entered De Gaotang while he was talking.
As soon as he said silence, he knew that he had confused time and space. He counted the deadline of the Cao Gang until Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong was over, which was obviously incomprehensible to people of this era. He knew that this was not the time to hide his weakness, so he bowed to the old man and smiled warmly: "Old man, this is a beautiful wish. I think you will accept it, right?"
"Of course." The old man was very amused by him and asked Ma Wu: "Xiao Wu, where is his friend?"
Ma Wu bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle San, this is the top scholar Lord Shen you have been talking about."
The old man may have a complex of star-chasing. When he heard that it was the legendary Shen Liusong, he was immediately excited. He first looked him up and down for a while, and then opened his throat excitedly: "Wen Kuixing is here, why don't you come out to greet him!"
An old man of all kinds came out of the small yards. After a while, he stood in front of him in silence, greeted him, and asked him to have a tea in the room. He also asked him to drink good wine and dishes, excitedly as if he was in the New Year.
But when Ma Wu General's silent purpose was explained, the warm atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and the old men whispered and talked a lot, obviously attaching great importance to the sacred mission of guarding the younger generation.
They are chasing stars, but they are still light in the big things. After the initial commotion, they all looked at the old man who was talking to silent at first. His name was Master Long San, who is 80 years old this year. He is the old man who lives the old man and is also the former leader. The old men still habitually listen to him to make decisions.
Master Long San said to the silence: "It is said that Ma Wu is the head of the family now, so we old men shouldn't interrupt." Of course, this is nonsense. If you really feel this way, just nodding directly? Then he continued: "But Ma Wu has also told you that there are many difficulties in the sect..."
"Uncle San," Ma Wu had to speak, otherwise it would make silent sense that the Cao Gang was playing tricks on him: "With so much money, no matter how big the deficit is, I will make up for it."
"The head of the Cao Gang is the flag, and the word "righteous" is the word "righteous"! But my Cao Gang is not a gang in the martial arts world, but a home for tens of thousands of people who are suffering from their wives and children." Long San said unmoved: "A family of such a big one cannot be supported by the loyalty of friends alone. You still have to be careful and make ends meet." As he said that, he bowed to the silent and said: "We are shameless and insist on being serious with the adults. Please forgive me."
"I am actually a person who doesn't matter right or wrong?" Chen Si shook his head and smiled: "People often say 'There is an old person in the family, like a treasure'. This is true. The Cao Gang respects and loves the elderly so much, and he will definitely not make mistakes, so his luck will definitely last for a long time!"
These words were so beautiful that the old men were so moved that they had low tears and even their eyes turned red.
Long San looked at Ma Wu proudly and said, "Although you are decades old, your knowledge is still not as good as Lord Shen."
Ma Wu didn't feel embarrassed and laughed: "Mr. Shen is Wen Kuixing who came to earth to see him. Who can compare with him in terms of his experience?"
Silence was also happy that they regarded themselves as "stars" and wanted everyone to think so, that they would reduce their IQ when facing him. Unfortunately, because the literati was neglecting each other, his peers would not use this trick.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friendship is friendship, and business should be discussed as much as you want.
"Since lord is enlightened, I'm also open the skylight and speak loudly," Long Sanyi said sincerely: "I've told you that filling the deficit is second. The main reason is that the situation of the Cao Gang is extremely difficult now. We must strive to maintain the livelihood of the brothers in the gang, and we must also provide some responsibilities everywhere to see if we can reduce some heavy taxes." As he said, he said slowly: "Where shouldn't spend a lot of money? It's all up to sell these 100,000 or 200,000 stones of grain and rice to deal with it."
Speaking of this, I blushed a little, but when I thought it was for the help, not for myself, Master Long San said shamelessly: "In fact, 500,000 taels of silver and 200,000 s of grain can be bought in any previous year." Not only can I buy it? It is more than enough to buy twice the grain.
"But with the price of grain this year, if you make less money, we will lose at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." Long San himself felt shameless, but continued: "Of course, you are loyal and friends. Even if we lose this money, we should make friends." He said with a dry laugh: "But if you say something unconscience, it is already mid-April, and in a blink of an eye it is the fifth and yellow deserts of June. The rice price must still rise, and seven or eight taels are very easy, so if we stay for a while, we can earn two, or even three, five hundred thousand taels..."
Obviously, the old man thought 500,000 taels were too little!
This made Shen Mo very unhappy. He said that he was respectful and gave up the shit, so he wanted to argue with him, but Ruohan coughed gently and snatched it first... It means that if you pretend to be a good person, you should continue to pretend. If you say harsh words, I, the evil person, will give up.
Ruo Han said in a clear voice: "I don't agree with the old man's words." As he said that, he didn't wait for the other party to react, he said loudly: "Because your guess about the price of grain is wishful thinking, one-sided, and completely wrong!"
"What a great mouth." Long San smiled and said, "Who is this?"
"Zhu Jing." Shen Mo pretended to scold: "Why don't you apologize to the old senior?"
What Ruohan said was useless, and of course Long San couldn't hold on his face. He smiled and said, "It turns out it's Mrs. Shen, who is disrespectful." Then he said, "I rely on my old age and want to ask for advice. Where am I wishful thinking?"
"You forgot why the rice price soared?" Ruohan said: "It's because some people don't want the imperial court to open a port, so they want to bring the designer and executor of this matter. My husband drove out of Suzhou, so he raised the rice price!" He said: "You don't know yet? Suzhou City can last at most five days. If there is no large amount of grain in it to stabilize the price, the city will be in chaos in less than May. My husband will definitely be dismissed from office and questioned, but Suzhou City will have to be in chaos. If one cannot be handled well, it will be hundreds of thousands of chaos in the city!"
