Chapter 258 I can't take care of the New Year
Chapter 258: I can’t even care about the New Year
When Li Heng was once again feeling the shamelessness of the Ming Dynasty officials, he made a decision in his heart. Never stand against this guy, and only sell the cannons to Zheng Zhilong, and turn around and sell them to Liu Xiang. There is no bottom line for the bastard for money. But then again, Chen Xie's reputation in business is still a golden sign. His reputation is absolutely strong, and his words are guaranteed.
This time, Li Heng came, and also brought a question from a collaborator. Why didn’t he mint silver coins with small denominations? This question left Chen Xie speechless. He thought he was already very greedy, but he didn’t expect that the guys Li Heng found were even more greedy. Silver coins worth one tael of silver are undoubtedly limited in circulation, but it is safe to do so.
In order to avoid the trouble caused by the partners, Chen Xie said to Li Heng very sternly: "If you don't want to die, don't worry about small-denomination silver coins. If you find that there are small-denomination silver coins or copper coins issued under the banner of Dafa Money Bank in the market, according to the provisions of Article 1, Paragraph 1, the head office has the right to terminate the cooperation and not bear any economic responsibility. If someone thinks that the emperor is far away, I will not be able to do anything to him. At that time, due to personal greed, the entire money system will lose. How many lives will not be enough for others to buy with the silver. Chen's net worth is pretty good, and he doesn't mind taking half of it to solve the problem."
This is the ** naked warning! And it is a warning to use the family to destroy people. Chen Xie absolutely does not allow any national borders in this matter. The silver circle is a red line, and whoever passes will die.
This is the first time Li Heng has seen Chen Xie speak in such a vicious tone. Although he looks calm, judging from his firm tone, this is not just a saying. It is to be fulfilled.
"I understand!" Li Heng shivered in his heart. He silently remembered this point. He must not touch it when he went back, and he could not let others touch it. This matter was impossible even if he wanted to hide it from Chen Xie. Today, there are not many American products partners in the southeastern provinces. How many people are thinking about him, the agent of the two provinces.
On December 4, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Liu Xiang, who was constantly harassing Zhejiang, was blocked by Zheng Zhilong on the way. A bloody battle ended from morning to darkness, and there were huge losses on both sides. But in general, Zheng Zhilong achieved a huge victory and Liu Xiang lost while the night was falling. In this time and space, with the 20 cannons bought from Chen Xie, Zheng Zhilong's vitality was greatly enhanced. Although the large lucky ship had dozens of cannons, there were not many large-caliber artillery.
Liu Xiang suffered a great loss in this battle. Zheng Zhilong fully utilized the range advantage of the artillery and sank two Liu Xiang's large ships before Liu Xiang opened fire. This result seemed not too obvious, but in fact it was a decisive factor. Zheng Zhihu didn't have to confiscate the guys to go to close combat. His subordinates used the flintlock rifle as the main method of killing, and taught Liu Xiang a lesson.
As the end of the year approaches, Dengzhou City is becoming more and more lively. There is no chaos this year, and God is still giving face. The grain harvest brought by high-yield seeds ensures that the people can eat enough and have some surplus. The food price this year is also pretty good, not because the merchants find it with conscience. But now they are engaged in grain trading in Dengzhou and really don’t make money. The giant United Business is eyeing it. As long as someone wants to suppress the price of grain, a group of gentry will inevitably rush to fight. Even government officials at all levels have to do something because you have robbed his business.
After the beating, I gave a bad sentence: "The country bumpkin, what are you doing now than making money from the people's mouths?"
Foreign merchants cannot get in. Local grain merchants dare not make trouble locally and leave the Denglai area. You can do whatever you want. It is such a strange circle, and the entire Jiaodong Peninsula is almost like this. Even some very greedy officials dare not do it too much. The reason is very simple. The salt produced in Denglai has occupied the Denglai and Shandong markets. This is definitely a huge profit. Even if the retail price is only half of that of other provinces, Denglai's officialdom has made a lot of money. When the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, who has not received a satisfactory dividend? At this time, someone will come out to break the rules, and they will definitely attack them.
On New Year's Eve, a long queue was lined up outside the United Shopping Mall. The 50-person rule was temporarily changed to 100 people, but it could not stop the huge traffic of the passengers. A thin black man, with a fierce look on his face, stood in the line and moved forward slowly. The cold wind could not resist these people going in to buy things. What kind of store is this?
Since the defeat on the sea surface in Fujian, the Portuguese and the Spaniards decisively abandoned Liu Xiang. This guy brought a bunch of subordinates to hide on an island. When he was thinking about whether he was a Dutch who went to the Dayuan Island, he received a message from the land. Liu Xiang thought about it and decided to see what was going on. Liu Xiang had no impression of Dengzhou before. This time he came to Dengzhou, he quietly went to the shore of the Yangtze River mouth, and then took the land route. He hurriedly took half a month to arrive in Dengzhou.
Liu Xiang, dressed as a foreign merchant, did not receive too much trouble. After checking the road at the gate of the city, he let people into the city. At first, Liu Xiang thought that Dengzhou was the same, there were more new things, and he got in so easily, and his defense was very average. When he entered the city, he found that this place was not as simple as he thought.
I won’t talk about the urban management on the interface. The black clothes are very conspicuous, and one or two can be seen on every street. The patrolling yamen runners also appear in a team of one moment. Every half hour, a team of green soldiers can be seen patrolling the streets. Before he can get close, someone will be driven out. This area is really, it looks loose, but it is actually very tight.
How could anyone be a thief be afraid of officers and soldiers? So in order to avoid a patrol team of officers and soldiers, Liu Xiang stood in this queue. When the officers and soldiers left, he realized that the team was very long. A two-story building could be seen far ahead, with a huge sign protruding out, and the four big words "United Shop" were written on it.
Hearing the two subordinates behind him, Liu Xiang walked slowly towards the United Business. When he walked to the steps at the gate of the business, he found that everyone stopped him along the way. His caution was a joke. After going up the steps, there was a counter at the door, and a young woman stood in front of him. Liu Xiang was surprised, how could this world allow a woman to show up in public? This woman looked like a well-educated person and looked good, so how could she stand here?
This woman is not what Liu Xiang thought. She is the daughter of a farmer in Zhangjiazhuang. She is already married and should be serving the young at home. However, she has been studying for three years and refuses to be a housewife at home. She blocked Chen Xie’s carriage on the road and asked the master to make the decision. After Master Chen found out the situation, he invited the old people from the two families and said that the business was a reception desk, and this young wife was good. Let her go and do it. The clothing factory only has five copper coins a month, and she works at the business desk, and a silver dollar a month.
Mr. Chen patted his chest and said that there was no problem, that was no problem. Isn’t there an elderly person at home to take care of the children?
Liu Xiang could not have thought what this woman did. She had to bite the bullet and risk being seen as teasing a woman, and laughed carefully. Just as she was about to walk in, the woman spoke out. "Hello, are you here to do business or find someone?"
Liu Xiang thought for a while and said, "Where is a merchant from Guangdong. A friend introduced me. I came to Dengzhou for the first time when I came back to do business. Now, my friend asked me to come here, and I said that Mr. Chen asked me to come here."
The female front desk asked with a gentle smile: "Does the guest have documents?" Liu Xiang thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "No."
The female front desk smiled and said, "Add to wait objectively." As she said that, she turned around and went in. Liu Xiang didn't wait long, two people came out from inside, one of which was so gloomy that she walked in big strides. Liu Xiang was shocked. This momentum was seen as bloody at first sight. She turned around and wanted to leave, but it was too late. There were four more people behind her, and everyone was carrying a short gun.
Liu Xiang, who had already reached into his arms, slowly raised his hand. The four of them came forward, pressed to the ground without saying a word, and then seized a Japanese short sword. Liu Xiang did not defend himself and silently obeyed. After searching, a tall man in black came over and looked up and down and said, "Come with me."
Uh, Liu Xiang was stunned. What rhythm is this? At this time, the female front desk appeared again and smiled at Liu Xiang and said, "I'm sorry, the guest, the master happened to be in the business, and you didn't look good. But don't worry, we have no malicious intentions. As long as you explain the purpose of the visit, nothing will happen."
Liu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and followed the man calmly, with two people following him. The formation, it was right today. A door was opened, and the man said, "Go in." Liu Xiang took a deep breath and walked in slowly.
It was Chen Xie who sat on the leather sofa. Liu Qing went to the capital and he had to sit in charge. He really made decisions on some things. As a guard, Han Shan dared not be careless. When he heard that someone came to see Chen Xie at this time, he would naturally worry about any problems. So after arranging, the four of them went out on the back door and surrounded him firmly.
Seeing Liu Xiang, Chen Xie stood up with a smile and said, "The people below are too nervous, don't mind the guests. Here is Chen Xie, who introduced the guests?" Liu Xiang squeezed out a smile and said, "That's right. A friend named Li asked someone to bring me a word. If there is a difficulty that cannot be overcome, you can come to Dengzhou to find Mr. Chen."
Chen Xie was obviously surprised. It was now New Year's Eve. Liu Xiang actually came to Dengzhou. Don't you have to celebrate the New Year?
"Haha, are you Liu Xiang? I didn't expect that you came so urgently. Sit down and say something slowly, and have a tea."
A stunning woman came out of the door of the inner room, and her temperament was the same as Liu Xiang thought she had been determined. She put down the teacup with a smile.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to come before the New Year. It seems that your situation is not good." Chen Xie said, planning to Liu Xiang's eyes chasing the woman's back. This little girl is really, stunning. (To be continued)
