Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1677

“Ah! No.” seeing that Wang Tongsheng was angry, Qian Liang immediately responded and said to song De, “come on, take out any good things on your body. Hurry up.”

Song de looked bitter, but he didn’t dare to offend Qian Liang, so he had to take out a small pendant on his waist. When he was serving Zhuqi Town, the emperor was in a good mood and gave it to him. It was regarded as an heirloom by him.

The small pendant was taken out and robbed by Qian Liang. Then he presented it to Wang Tongsheng with a flattering face. “Do you like it, sir? It’s a pendant that was directly rewarded to the eunuch. It’s all good things.”

“Well, that’s good, that’s good.” he took the pendant and looked at it. Wang Tongsheng nodded with satisfaction. Then he introduced himself to Qian Liang with a smile and said that he was the person in charge of negotiating grain prices with Nanming.

Even when the LORD was in front of him, Qian Liang put down his heart and the two sides sat together and began to talk. It’s not as complicated as Qian liang thought. The Yang family doesn’t mean not to sell Nanming grain. According to Wang Tongsheng, today’s Yang family makes great efforts to reclaim wasteland and develop agriculture. Now there is too much grain to eat. Although many granaries have been built, the grain still can’t be put down. If it goes on for a long time, it may be moldy and bad. This is why the two sides are going to war and will come to talk about grain sales.

Listening to this, Qian Liang’s eyes lit up. He felt that he had met a mallet. Such a confidential thing should not be easily publicized. Now that the other party has told himself everything, isn’t it equal to exposing the chassis in advance?

Wang Tongsheng didn’t seem to have this consciousness, but continued to say, “Of course, grain can be sold to you. The key is the price. Ah, to tell you the truth, as an official of the Yang Department, you don’t know. Although it seems that our treatment is good, there are too many people who rely on our official’s breath. Pity my wife and six concubines. How to feed them.”

While chatting, Wang Tongsheng talked about his difficulties. Qian Liang was stunned. He didn’t understand. How many concubines do you need to support? Is it meaningful to tell me?

Song De, who came with him, was an expert. He saw what he saw. He gently pulled Qian Liang, who was still in a daze, and then whispered something. Wang Tongsheng saw these small movements, but did not stop them. Instead, he picked up the teacup and drank tea, as if he hadn’t seen them.

Qian Liang was bitten by song de for a while, and soon showed a suddenly enlightened look. He nodded. When he looked at Wang Tongsheng, he asked tentatively, “Lord Wang, I understand what you mean, and you can rest assured that if things are done, you will benefit. But how much is the price?”

“Hahaha, Lord Qian is a smart man. That’s right. The price is easy to say. You can set as much as you want, but it must not be lower than what you said before. More than three lines on the original price. Of course, the higher the price, the greater the operability in the middle, and the more benefits we will get.”

Qian Liang was naturally delighted to hear that only three achievements on the original price could be traded. He opened his mouth and wanted to promise, but then heard that the higher the price, the more benefits would be. He immediately closed his mouth and began to think about it.

In the final analysis, there is nothing more real than money. Only this thing can be relied on most and can save lives at critical moments. As long as there is a lot of money, what if it is not the commander? You can be a rich man and enjoy life, can’t you?

The temptation of silver made Qian Liang’s eyes shine. He still asked carefully, “Lord Wang, that’s right. What do you think if our purchase price doubles the original unit price? But I don’t know how much we can get from it?”

Not 30%, but 10%. In this way, there is too much operability in the middle. Of course, Nanming also has to pay a great price for this. But whatever it is, Nanming belongs to the imperial court, the Zhu family, the Zhu Qizhen, and not to the three people here. Where can he manage so much?

“Double, it’s a good price.” Wang Tongsheng was also very satisfied after listening to it. Then after considering it, he said: “then I reported to Yang that it was increased by 50%. In this way, I have an explanation. In this way, there are 50% of the benefits in the middle, which is enough for us to share, ha ha.”

“Hahaha, very good, very good.” Qian Liang laughed with satisfaction when he heard that he could get at least 25% of the profits.

Both sides did not expect that things would go so smoothly, but they were greedy people. What they paid attention to was to drop the bag. In order to get the silver as soon as possible without accident, Qian Liang got up and said, “so I will return the matter to the court. I think there will be news soon.”

“Well, it’s hard, Mr. Qian. I’m here waiting for your good news.” Wang Tongsheng also got up with a satisfied smile on his face. When Qian Liang and song de were about to leave, he didn’t forget to add, “don’t forget to bring a face-to-face gift when you meet next time.”

Qian Liang and song de stumbled and almost didn’t fall to the ground. Almost at the same time, a word came out in their hearts – corrupt officials.

Because of this, they believe more in Wang Tongsheng, because only such corrupt officials will do things detrimental to the Yang family and sell the Yang family’s grain to them in Nanming. This gives them a chance to earn a price difference and get a lot of money.

Qian Liang and song de left. They didn’t know that when they just walked out of the Yang Department office, Wang Tongsheng, who looked greedy behind them, had recovered his original face, his face was plain, his eyes were divine, and there was a little greedy appearance of corrupt officials.

They soon returned to the palace and saw Qian sengbao and father-in-law Zhang Chen who was waiting on him. Seeing that there were no outsiders, they made a detailed report on the talks. That is, Wang Tongsheng asked for the meeting gift when he met. When he was leaving, he also reminded him of the next meeting gift.

Hearing this, Qian sengbao burst into laughter. “The king of Wunan is a good hand in war and an excellent commander, but it’s really not good for management officials. But it’s good. Otherwise, how can we earn silver from it.”

Looking at Qian sengbao, it seemed that he agreed. Qian Liang came forward and said, “uncle, so things can be done. But is it too much to double the original price?”

“Not much, not much.” Qian sengbao shook his head and said: “You don’t understand the emperor’s heart. What the emperor wants is to be able to buy food and make enough war reserves. Besides, buying food is not a long-term plan. Don’t you see that the current imperial court has begun to prepare for farming in the spring? In the future, our land will also start to grow food, so we don’t need to buy from the Yang family. So we should seize the present opportunity to make a big fortune Otherwise, I don’t know when there will be such a chance. ”

Qian sengbao, as the eunuch in charge of Zhuqi Town, naturally knows more, and he knows more about Zhuqi town than others.

Even Qian sengbao said so. Qian Liang, with his eyes shining, said, “uncle, that’s it. My nephew will write a letter to report it?”

“Yes, write a note immediately. Remember, write down how you tried to persuade Yang officials. This is a good opportunity for you to make contributions and become famous.” Qian sengbao said and pointed out.

Qian Liang kept nodding his head. “Don’t worry, uncle. My nephew knows what to do. By the way, half of the benefits should be filial to my uncle. Over the years, my uncle has taken care of my nephew so much. My nephew is very grateful.”

Looking at Qian Liang’s way, Qian sengbao laughed with satisfaction. Then he patted each other on the shoulder and said, “it’s easy to say, it’s easy to say. In fact, my uncle is old and won’t live long. Don’t all his uncle’s money be left to you in the future, huh? Ha ha ha.”

“Yes, yes.” seeing the scene of uncle and nephew’s harmony, song de and Zhang Chen both looked envious. Why didn’t they have such a good uncle.

Qian Liang said that he would do it as soon as possible. The fold was written quickly. He also found a literate eunuch to embellish it. Qian sengbao personally sent it to Zhuqi town.

Zhu Qizhen was also very happy when he heard that the grain issue had been discussed. When he took over the folding son, he sighed and said, “Da Pei is my love Qing, and Da Pei’s nephew is also good. He is really a double hero.”

After receiving such praise, Qian sengbao was excited, but his eyebrows didn’t tremble on the surface, but said solemnly, “everything of the minister was given by the emperor. It’s also his duty to do a job for the emperor. He dare not be greedy for merit.”

“OK, OK.” looking at monk Qian’s arrogance and dryness, Zhuqi town was more happy, so he opened the memorial and reviewed it. Then his face became much darker and said with some unhappiness: “why is the price so expensive? In this way, our financial pressure is too great.”

I knew Zhu Qizhen would say so, and Qian sengbao hurriedly explained, “Emperor, there’s no way. After all, we’re going to war with the Yang family. It’s not easy for them to sell food to us. Qian Liang talked about it on the ground that we Han people in Nanming have no food to eat. If these are used as military food, I’m afraid they won’t sell it even to each other For us. “
