Chapter 34: Lobby the county magistrate and the deal is concluded
Wei Xun looked startled. He looked at Shen Tang with a smile and said, "You have a good relationship with Lu Feng. Speaking of which, he is worthy of your favor for being the supervisor. For this little matter, you can just ask him. , why come to this county?”
Shen Tang shook his head and said: "The villain and Brother Lu are indeed familiar with each other, but he is your subordinate after all. It is just and legitimate for the villain to come to seek help from you."
As soon as he said this, Wei Xun admired Shen Tang very much. This matter was not a big one, and Lu Feng would definitely be able to handle it properly. But when Shen Tang came to look for him, it not only showed that he valued him, but also showed that he knew very well that he was related to him. The relationship between Lu Feng also originated from himself.
"Haha... What a fair statement! Mu Yu is my niece, and this county has approved this matter. This county will ask Lu Feng to inspect your workshop more, so that no one will be disturbed."
"Thank you, sir!"
Shen Tang cupped his hands and thanked him, then opened the cloth bag on the table.
Inside the cloth bag are three glass bottles with bulging bellies. The bottles are azure in color and decorated with a few drops of red ink. They are simple and grand.
"hiss!"
Seeing this, Wei Xun couldn't help but take a breath. Glazed bottles are extremely precious items, even priceless. He once saw that Master Zhizhou had several glazed products, which he liked very much and often took them out for order. Character appreciation, appreciation.
The glass vase in front of me is of high quality, vaguely translucent, and obviously worth a lot of money.
I took one of them, but as soon as I took it, I saw that the color of the bottle was changing, and it was actually filled with condensed water.
"Is this... could it be the fairy dew you made?" Wei Xun asked in shock.
"I heard that in Lin'an, a bottle of fairy dew costs hundreds of taels. Is this what it is?"
Shen Tang responded with a smile: "This is exactly the fairy dew, but it is not Lin'an fairy dew. The fairy dew is divided into three grades, the lowest grade is blue, the middle grade is green, and the top grade is condensate. The three bottles in front of me are the condensate dew." ! In a few days, the shops in the city will also open, and they will sell their own products at that time. The villain and Miss Shao Muyu have agreed that only thirty bottles of high-grade fairy dew will be made every year, with a base price of one thousand taels per bottle, and the one with the highest price will get it. The medium-grade fairy dew will be made every year Five hundred, the price is five hundred. There is no limit to the number of low-grade immortal dew, and the price is one hundred silver."
Listening to Shen Tang's words, Wei Xun was even more horrified. Of course he knew that the middle and lower grades were okay. Although the top grade was priced at a thousand taels, he didn't know what the price would be when the time came. With the wealth of the Song Dynasty, even if someone It is no exaggeration to compete for prices that are several times or even dozens of times higher.
In other words, the three seemingly exquisite and expensive glass bottles in front of you are just appearances. Their real value is even worth tens of thousands.
"This gift of yours is very valuable!" After a long while, Wei Xun finally spoke slowly. However, he was not prepared to refuse. Although it was only three bottles of fairy dew, he would use this as a basis to gain some points for himself. , but it is extremely suitable.
"Sir, this is just one of the gifts." Shen Tang said calmly.
"oh?"
Wei Xun was stunned. The first gift was so valuable, but the second one...
Under his gaze, Shen Tang said calmly: "The second gift is the profit of 10% of this immortal dew."
This time, Wei Xun did not show any surprise. Instead, he stared at Shen Tang for a long time, and then asked in a solemn voice: "Shen Tang, what are your plans?"
Although he is not a businessman, he can still calculate how much profit margin this fairy dew will have in the future. With the magic of this fairy dew and the ability of the Shao family, it is not impossible to make a profit of one million a year. Although It was a profit of 10%, but it was worth tens of thousands. How could he not doubt Shen Tang? After all, the three bottles of fairy dew from before were enough for what Shen Tang wanted.
Shen Tang's expression did not change, but he asked calmly: "I wonder what I need as a grown-up to enter or even live in a temple?"
Wei Xun was slightly startled, a little strange about Shen Tang's question, but after thinking for a moment, he said: "To be in a high position, one needs to be diligent, love the people, uphold one's integrity, and be upright!"
"What the Lord said is true!" Shen Tang returned, "But the villain thought that the Lord missed two points."
"What two points?" Wei Xun didn't believe it. How could a mere villager guide him to become an official? It was a joke.
"Shangguan picks up, and subordinates are respectful!" Shen Tang looked directly at Wei Xun, "I wonder if the villain is right?"
Wei Xun nodded blankly and heard Shen Tang continue to say: "Nowadays, our Song Dynasty is weak. Although we have the ambition to look north, we lack the ability to look north. In the end, the reason is just that there is a lack of capable officials in the court! If you uphold your own integrity and live high in the temple, it will be a blessing to the people. Although the villain is poor, he is willing to help you a little, so that you can concentrate on your business and don't have to worry about a little money."
"What the villain wants is to settle down and live in peace. He has no ulterior motives. Your Excellency, please verify my origin. You know more about the cooperating Shao family. In the future, if the villain behaves in a way that betrays the country and bullies the people, the three or five soldiers will be punished by themselves." He can capture the villain, so the adults don’t need him to think..."
Shen Tang's two words made Wei Xun think deeply. He was not a member of the family. He was born in a family, and of course he knew what kind of strength it took to live in a temple. Therefore, he did agree with what Shen Tang said. As for Shen Tang's After thinking about the second sentence, he gradually gave up his worries.
After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Shen Tang, why don't you seek an official position? With your talent, if you become the emperor's disciple, you will be able to become a prince and a general."
Shen Tang shook his head and chuckled, "Sir, I just want to live in poverty, but I have no ambition to be an official."
"This county has one more question!" Wei Xun said slowly.
Hearing this, Shen Tang said seriously: "I have not discussed this matter with Miss Shao. The 10% profit will also be deducted from the villain's share. At the end of each year, or if the adults need it, the villain will send someone to give it to him. superior. "
"Okay!" Wei Xun nodded, "In that case, this county agrees. Moreover, as long as you don't betray the country and bully the people, I will do my best to protect you. On the contrary, if you don't need others, I will punish you severely and not get involved!"
"Thank you, Sir!" Shen Tang stood up and bowed to the end.
The two settled matters, and Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Xun was born as a Jinshi, and his future would be limitless. Having such a protection would be of great benefit to him. Wei Xun was also extremely happy with the appearance of Shen Tang. , made up for his shortcomings, so that his advancement will be smoother in the future. The reason why such an agreement can be reached is also because they recognized each other through several previous contacts.
It was getting late, so Wei Xun stayed with Shen Tang for dinner before letting him go. This time, in addition to Shen Tang, he also ordered someone to invite Lu Feng. Obviously, the county magistrate reciprocated the favor and took this opportunity. Improve the status of Shen Tang in front of others.
After Shen Tang left, Wei Xun thought for a moment. Then, he put away the bottles of fairy dew and quietly left the county government office under the cover of night.
