"One hundred guan for ten thousand guan?" After hearing Xing Shu's report, Zhao Xu shook his head: "You're so petty!"
Who do you look down on?
Zhao Xu knows that in modern times, don't be afraid of too much kickbacks. As long as you give them out, you will be successful!
Of course, that was in modern times.
In the Song Dynasty, due to various conditions, as well as road transportation and logistics costs, it was impossible to give such an exaggeration.
However, if you want to corrupt people, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money.
Xingshu lowered his head and said, "If you give too much, I'm afraid the merchants won't be able to make a profit."
Zhao Xu immediately laughed. He knew that this meant that Xing Shu didn't know how to do business.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Xu smiled: "The wool comes from the sheep!"
Then he said to Xing Shu: "In this case, please tell the envoy of Liao that you don't need to be limited by the amount of the purchase. Just calculate it according to the quantity. For every 10,000 guan, you can give the envoy of Liao and wait for the benefit of 1,000 guan!"
In Zhao Xu's opinion, the 10% rebate should be reasonable.
Xing Shu listened and swallowed: "Is it too much?"
Zhao Xu laughed: "How come there are so many?"
Give Liao a 10% rebate, and then you can increase the price of the designated procurement materials here.
Considering this transaction, it should be done for a long time.
The food shouldn't look too ugly, so if you do it reluctantly, a 20% price increase should be okay.
Xing Shu received Zhao Xu's request and immediately went to Duting Posthouse to tell Yeluju the good news.
"Ten thousand guan for carriage fare?!" Yeluju immediately became energetic from his sluggish state.
"Is this true?"
If this is the case...
Yeluju seemed to see countless copper coins, thinking of him rushing towards them.
It should be noted that just this time when he was on an envoy to the Song Dynasty, the value of the goods that the Liao parties asked him to purchase exceeded one million yuan.
In other words, if he has a darker heart, he can draw 100,000 yuan from it!
Even half of it is still 50,000 coins.
This is equivalent to his total income in fifty years!
Even if you want to share some benefits with others, no matter what happens, if it falls into his hands, you will still be left with twenty or thirty thousand yuan, right?
Xingshu nodded: "That's true!"
"My friends have all said that since your envoy is willing to buy their goods, we will all be friends from now on. It is natural for friends to help each other!"
Yeluju laughed: "Well said, well said!"
Friends, isn’t that how it should be?
good for everyone.
only……
Yeluju whispered: "So, there won't be any problem with the goods, right?"
Most of the things he bought from the Southern Dynasties were sent to the palace or to the nobles of the Fifth and Sixth Academy.
If it is unusable or has quality issues.
If the board is knocked down, he will be held responsible.
"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Xing Shu patted his chest and assured: "My friends have always been honest in their business and have a good reputation. What they sell is only better than others, not worse than others!"
"That's right, the price...may be a little more expensive than others!"
Yeluju laughed after hearing this: "The goods are good but the price is a little more expensive. That's right, that's right!"
The concubines in the upper capital and the people in the Fifth and Sixth Academy only care about whether their things are good or not. Are they beautiful? They don't care about the price.
As for the emperor?
Yeluju thought of the old emperor and laughed.
This emperor was famously deaf and blind - even his only son and queen were framed to death.
How does he know the price of the product?
Even if some people question it, Yeluju has countless reasons and rhetoric to deal with it.
Xing Shu then cupped his hands and said, "Then, I'll wait for the good news from your envoy!"
"Please rest assured, noble officer, I will fulfill my mission!" Yeluju laughed.
After sending Xing Shu away, Yeluju immediately took active action.
He didn't bother to sleep, and directly made an appointment with some old friends he was familiar with from the Liao mission.
They are mainly representatives sent by Orudo who are now marginalized.
For example, there are nobles sent by Oruduo in the early Liao Kingdom such as Changning Palace (Shuluping), Yongxing Palace (Yelü Deguang), Jiqing Palace (Yelü Ruan), Yanchang Palace (Yelüjing), etc.
There are also those in the Fifth Academy and the Sixth Academy who are now unsuccessful and are jealous and excluded by the old emperor.
There were eight people in total. Yeluju brought these eight people to his room in the name of drinking.
Then, while he was having fun drinking, Yeluju sighed: "Do you know how prosperous the capital of the Southern Dynasties is?"
Everyone nodded: "I have heard about it for a long time, but I can't get out of Dutingyi!"
Of course, every Liao person who came to the Southern Dynasty wanted to see the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty.
But the Southern Dynasties were more wary of them than thieves.
There are soldiers from the Southern Dynasties on the three floors outside and on the third floor of the pavilion.
Don't tell them, even if they want to take a look outside Dutingyi during the day, it will be troublesome.
"To tell you the truth, I have a very close personal relationship with this ambassador from the Southern Dynasty!"
"In the past few days, I have been taken care of by him and have gone out several times..."
"I saw the night view of Zhouqiao Bridge, drank the lamb wine from Yuxian Zhengdian, went to Sangjia Wazi, watched sumo wrestling, performed tricks, and even listened to music in Master Li's boudoir!"
Everyone started to swallow.
"real?"
"Of course it's not false!" Yeluju smiled: "To be honest, brothers, the prosperity and enjoyment of the southern capital is a hundred times better than that of the capital!"
So Yeluju began to describe to them the various landscapes he had seen.
At the night market in Zhouqiao, thousands of lanterns hang on both sides of the Bianhe River, reflecting the river water like stars in the sky.
The flow of people in Sangjia Wazi is like a river, flowing continuously.
Among the tiles, there are places to play everywhere.
All kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly.
There was also the female sumo wrestler, competing on the stage, their white bodies colliding with each other, and countless spectators applauded.
Li Shishi was described by Yeluju as a fairy from heaven to earth.
He used all the kind words, and everyone who heard it was fascinated and wished to meet him immediately.
By the time Yeluju finished speaking, everyone could not sit still.
"Jiedu, can you take me and others out to have a look?" Yeluxin from Changning Palace asked immediately.
Others immediately said: "Yes, yes, can you take us to have a look and experience it?"
Yeluju pretended to look embarrassed and hesitated.
When Yeluxin saw it, he immediately said: "Jiedu, we are all family friends, so we can't ignore our friendship!"
Others said one after another: "That's right! That's right!"
Yeluju pretended to sigh helplessly: "How about giving it a try?"
Only then did everyone smile happily.
…
So, in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, someone opened the side door of Dutingyi.
Under the leadership of Xing Shu, the nine Liao envoys put on the clothes of wealthy merchants of the Song Dynasty and quietly slipped out of Dutingyi through the side door.
No one noticed the whole process.
After leaving the door, not far away there were people who came to meet them, driving several carriages up to pick up these Liao people.
It wasn't until dawn that people from Liao got down from the carriages drunkenly.
Everyone's steps were frivolous, but they all had a look of satisfaction on their faces.
That night, their eyes were really opened.
The prosperity and prosperity of this Southern Dynasty night market left them stunned.
And the tricks and entertainment in the tiles made them even more amazed.
When they entered the hook fence, Xing Shu took over the entire hook fence.
Li Shishi, Xu Poxi, Feng Yinu...
One by one, world-famous singers came out one after another, their graceful figures under the tulle almost taking away their souls.
What makes them even more uncontrollable is that these singers are not only graceful in figure, but also unparalleled in their dancing and singing.
The key is the details in the process of getting along.
It simply hit the weak point of these Liao nobles.
If they like poetry, they are talented women.
If they love history, they can talk about the past and the present.
If they like Cuju and polo, they can also play polo and Cuju with their mouths open.
Even fishing, they seem to know a little bit about it.
In short, whether it is appearance, figure, conversation, knowledge, cultivation and temperament, they are absolutely stunning for the wives and concubines of these Liao nobles in Shangjing.
Compared with these people, their wives and concubines in Shangjing City are just like the yellow-faced women, suddenly becoming ordinary.
That is, the cost is too high.
Back at Dutingyi, everyone settled the accounts. In just half the night, they spent no less than two thousand dollars eating, drinking and having fun.
Including other odds and ends and reward money, almost everyone spent about 300 guan.
A large amount of the gold and silver he brought was gone in one fell swoop.
You know, all this money was put together by their relatives, handed over to them, and entrusted to them to go shopping in the Southern Dynasties.
This makes these people feel a little guilty and a little sad.
However, that night, they still came to Yeluju's room, and then followed Yeluju out as usual.
no way!
I really can’t help it!
Just like that, after several days of intoxication.
When everyone touched their pockets, they discovered that the gold and silver they had brought with them had all gone to the bottom before they knew it.
This fact immediately made these people panic.
You should know that the gold and silver belongs not only to their own family, but also to their relatives.
Now that I have spent all the money, how will I explain it when I go back?
So, everyone started to feel worried.
Yeluju and Xingshu observed the expressions of these people and knew that the time was almost ripe.
So Xingshu took the opportunity to have a showdown with them.
In the midst of drunkenness and wealth, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, who had already lost all willpower, fell to Xing Shu's sugar-coated bullets as expected.
Everyone said: We are all friends, and friends should help each other.
no way!
Who told Xingshu to give too much?!
What about the 10% rebate?
Ten thousand guan is a thousand guan. Even if you give some to Yeluju, it will be enough for the big guy to smooth out his shortfall, account for his family, and even make a huge fortune in return.
Of course, Xing Shu knew how to be a good person, and he immediately returned all the expenses of these people these days to them, and said: "This is just a little thought from my friends to all our friends in Daliao. I hope you will not shirk it!"
The nobles of the Liao Kingdom said one after another: "How can this be so embarrassing? It's too expensive!"
