Shen Tang looked at Xu Jie suspiciously, waiting for the answer.
Xu Jie looked at her with a subtle expression, only writing the words "Shen Jun asked knowingly?" written on his face.
Shen Tang: "???"
She didn't set up an spy for Xu Jie to monitor him.
Why did I “ask questions knowingly”?
Xu Jie saw that the confusion in Shen Tang's eyes did not seem to be fake, and the muscles on his face twitched strangely and stiffly a few times, and he said unnaturally: "Ahem, cough, cough, because Shangnan and Yiru have very strict control over alcohol, so no permission is allowed. Sales are not allowed, and you cannot use normal ways to enter these two places, so...well, you will inevitably have to use some special means to avoid..."
Shen Tang was confused when he heard this.
"A special way to avoid it? Could it be a private trafficker?"
The so-called "smuggling" is smuggling.
According to Xu Jie's explanation, the liquor business rights in Shangnan and Yiru are strictly controlled, and it is difficult for private merchants to obtain them. If they want to enter this market, they can only smuggle illegally. But smuggling will not involve smuggling fifty altars. It makes two hundred altars.
Xu Jie was not answering the question.
"It's a private dealer."
It also saves on high city taxes and liquor taxes.
"How come fifty jars are smuggled into two hundred jars? The big jars are changed into small jars? This makes it easier for smugglers to sneak into the two places into small jars, and it is not easy to be discovered..." She said, and she was not so angry. "It's been a hard work all the way."
Xu Jie: "..."
Lord, your "Friends" have stolen your words!
He forced himself to ignore the urge to complain.
Gan laughed: "It's not just about changing the size of the wine jar."
Shen Tang: "???"
This is a lot of information!
Good guy, she calls herself a "profiteer", but her feelings are still too naive! The expansion of the fifty jars to two hundred jars not only changed the size of the wine jar, but also added water to it?
Pooh!
Is this water mixed with bar?
While sighing, Shen Tang's smile froze.
Xu Jie bit the bullet and used his brain.
Trying to make amends for his master and himself.
"Shen Jun, don't be angry. My Lord has done this after careful consideration. It is actually for the sake of the overall situation. Shen Jun, please think that the effect of the spiritual wine you brewed by yourself is too obvious. Once it is sold to places other than Tianhai and Heyin, it will definitely Attracting countless overt or covert coveters. But appropriately weakening the effectiveness of the spirit wine will be beneficial and harmless to both Lord Shen and my Lord..."
This is not because he is a profiteer.
The idea came from your "Tangdi acquaintance".
Xu Wenzhu has nothing to do with him.
He does business in a serious and orderly manner, and has never deliberately sought out "reasonable tax avoidance" to cause trouble for those in power.
Speaking of this, the conversation that day came to mind.
Xu Jie was shocked: [Go, add water to the wine?]
Wu Xian read a book with a few pens, leisurely turned a page, and asked with a smile: "Otherwise? How much can you get from just fifty jars of wine? This is like the water splashing when a pebble is thrown into the river and sea. How big can the flowers be? Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing probably didn’t notice this. In the wine business, isn’t it always a mixture of 70% wine and 30% water?】
Xu Jie's expression was at a loss for words, and he whispered: [How can others not know, but Xie has never done this before...]
Wu Xian smiled and spoke frankly.
[You are not asked to sell wine mixed with water in Tianhai, but in Shangnan and Yiru. Furthermore, making wine consumes grain. Wouldn’t adding two more jars of wine save two jars of grain? Even if water is mixed, The taste is just a little weak, the effect is weakened, and people who are good or bad can’t taste it. What do the annotators think?]
Xu Jie:【……】
He just wanted to ask if this could be heard in broad daylight?
Why do the Lord and Shen Jun, the two leaders of large and small forces, always want to instill in him "Guidelines for cultivating profiteers"?
One taught him how to avoid taxes reasonably, and the other taught him how to cheat... Xu Jiexin and the two of them were close friends.
Completely half-brothers!
Xu Jie: [But on Jun Shen’s side...]
Doesn’t this ruin the brand of spiritual wine?
Wu Xian chuckled - there is no shame in making a fortune in silence! Shen Tang's spirit wine sign really dared to be displayed openly and openly. The sign was shown in the morning, the enemy attacked at noon, and the people were buried in the evening.
Xu Jie couldn't resist his lord's determination to harvest millet Yi and Zhang Yongqing's leeks, and finally entered the black liquor market in both places with the "medium version of spirit wine" mixed with water.
However, Xu Jie didn't know that these wines would be transformed into "low-quality spiritual wine" after being changed hands by Erdao dealers.
In short, it is to dilute Qisan again on the basis of dilution of Qisan_(:з)∠?)_
As for reasonable tax avoidance...
Xu Jie also made it clear to Wu Xian.
I just didn't tell him Shen Tang's divisive remarks about "it's better for others to have what I have" and "if you don't stock up on guns, your home will be a granary; if you don't stock guns on grain, everything will be a granary". What should I say? It shouldn't be said, but Xu Jie was very clear-minded.
Once told, Xu Jie can guarantee that he will always stand on Wu Xian's side, but will Wu Xian always believe it?
This kind of trust test can be done as little as possible.
Wu Xian listened with great interest, and was even so shocked that he almost couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He slapped the table and shouted the word "wonderful", wishing that Shen Tang, who had come up with such a tricky tax avoidance method, would be his confidant. If this guy were a businessman, he might be able to He will be revered as the Patriarch in future generations!
Xu Jie:【……】
He felt that his master was really abnormal.
Wu Xian also realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly showed his serious face and said in a deep voice: [Shen Youli made this request because he went too far last time and caused dissatisfaction. I will settle the settlement this time and give more benefits. It's easy. I lightly exposed this matter.]
Apologize while drinking, just pretend that nothing happened.
Wu Xian's eyes wandered around with a guilty conscience.
I also felt that I went too far when I tricked Shen Tang last time. The old cows who had passed their prime years and the replacement farm tools were packed up and the inventory was cleared. Fortunately, the seedlings and grains were not mixed with water, otherwise Shen Tang would be angry and lift the table. The sword came to kill him.
Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
I am glad that I will have an explanation for Shen Tang next time I see him again.
otherwise--
He probably entered Fugu vertically and came out horizontally.
Xu Jie came back to his senses from the memories.
Shen Tang is still shocked by Wu Xian's sexy behavior.
He said with a sigh: "It would be a pity that Brother Zhaode doesn't go into business."
What a good seedling of a profiteer.
It's so self-righteous to fake and adulterate.
What else can Xu Jie do?
Naturally, it’s embarrassing to accompany the laughter.
Who let him choose his own lord?
At the same time, the "low-mix version of spiritual wine" diluted twice with 73 was also quietly spread in Shangnan and Yiru.
The second dealer was also clever. He grasped the source of goods tightly and shipped out goods little by little, and also made a lot of money.
The corners of his mouth were grinning to his earlobes.
The lowest price for a jar of wine is fifty taels.
This is it, and it’s hard to find one.
Although wine control is strict in Shangnan and Yiru, and there are very few wine shops with operating licenses, the market is too big for these wine shops to absorb. In addition, the two places are under the management of Gu Ren and Zhang He , people's livelihood is relatively stable and prosperous, and wine is not a "luxury" that cannot be afforded. As long as there is a market and profits are made, there will definitely be people who take risks.
This law applies at all times.
Smuggling is also serious in both places.
The protective umbrella of smugglers is the local famous and well-connected families. If you say hello secretly, these guys with constant interests will turn a blind eye and cover each other to make some "extra money". Hello. Hello everyone.
Gu Ren knew that the "low-mixed version of spiritual wine" was a banquet after a long time, and at that time he thought the wine tasted good.
_(:з)∠?)_
"Ji Shou, I just don't understand. Isn't Wu Zhaode afraid of getting angry and being exposed and beaten?" After Xu Jie left, Shen Tang thought about it and felt that he couldn't worry about this alone, so he had to grab someone to talk to him. "share".
Kang Shi was indeed a little surprised when he heard Wu Xian's profiteer behavior. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew why.
The wines of today are not very strong in taste, and even the daughter of a boudoir who is not a good drinker can drink a few bottles.
But the wine that Shen Tang made with Yan Ling was different.
The wine has a strong aroma and mellow taste.
It is not easy to find even if it is mixed with water.
This is probably the source of Wu Xian’s confidence in cheating.
The corners of Shen Tang's mouth twitched: "..."
Sure enough, I am not cunning enough!
"Should we also enter the two markets?"
Shen Tang learned from the pain.
Kang Shi: "...what do you mean, lord?"
Shen Tang gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "We are not the leeks in Wu Zhaode's yard, letting others cut them how they want. Why should Wu Zhaode, a black-hearted profiteer, get the bulk of our shipments? No, we must rise up and resist!"
Say no to Wu Zhaode’s tyranny!
Kang Shi frowned: "Isn't this exposed?"
Shen Tang felt that his IQ was underestimated: "Who said we should use our own banner? Who would be stupid enough to use real names to commit crimes as a smuggler? Isn't this a disco in the minefield of Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing? We can do it in a roundabout way, Be polite!"
Kang Shi asked Shen Tang directly for the answer.
“How to be roundabout and tactful?”
After all, he is not a profiteer.
He couldn't keep up with his master's pace.
Shen Tang said loudly: "Shanzhai!"
Kang Shi was confused: "Copycat?"
Shen Tang added: "OEM can also be used!"
Kangshi: "OEM?"
These two are all unfamiliar words.
The strange and confusing words that pop up from his master's mouth from time to time are all labeled as "the slang of the master's hometown dialect". He does not need to investigate the origin of these words, he only needs to know what they mean.
Shen Tang patiently explained to him: "That's right! Xu Wenzhu has already opened the market in Shangnan, Yi and Ru. The supply of spiritual wine must be in short supply. We only need to follow him and secretly smuggle the water mixed with wine. Go in and pretend to be the source of the goods in Xu Jie's hands, or simply pretend to be a member of Xu Wenzhu's family. This batch of goods was secretly stolen by us behind Xu Wenzhu's back..."
She is not greedy either.
They don't sell Xu Wen's Notes at such a high price.
If you are eager to get rid of it, half of it is fine.
Shen Tang: "If this road doesn't work, let's say that this wine was smuggled from other countries. The effect is similar to that of spiritual wine. It can be regarded as a substitute for spiritual wine. It is high-quality and cheap. Although the effect is not as good as others, it is better. Cheap and large quantity!”
She patted Kang Shi on the shoulder.
Smiling treacherously.
Kangshi: "...This method...is very good, very good."
The lord also complained to him that Wu Zhaode was a profiteer.
She herself is no less generous!
Shen Tang also lamented hypocritically: "People always have to be forced to realize that they have such potential in business, hey--"
She and Wu Zhaode probably clicked on the wrong skill points.
Shen Tang is a hot-tempered person who does what he says.
I am afraid that I will lose money if I am too late.
Alas, there is no way, I am afraid of being poor.
Shen Tang was very interested in studying how to mix wine into water and what proportion would prevent the enemy from tasting it - but Gong Shuwu, who was trying the wine, drank a lot of water.
When Shen Tang of Heyin Fugu came up with an idea, the wine market in Shangnan and Yiru began to boom.
_(:з)∠?)_
Time flies and another twenty days pass.
The weather has also begun to gradually warm up.
The warm spring breeze blows on the face, and new leaves sprout on the treetops.
The clothes of the common people working on the construction site are no longer bulky.
After a winter day, the numbness and dullness of the past are rarely seen on the face. Instead, there is a smile from the heart, and the expectation for the future surges in the eyes.
It was on such an ordinary day that Bai Su, who was always low-key and ordinary, made a breakthrough!!!
Yes, the bravery has become!
She wasn't even the first to discover this.
On this day, Bai Su got up early as usual to warm up for sword dancing.
From the darkest day to the brightest day.
I only stopped after practicing until my whole body was hot and my arms were sore.
She is used to practicing in secluded places. A quiet environment can make her focus more, but today it is slightly different. An unexpected person has come to the wasteland where she has always been alone.
When Bai Su saw this person, he sheathed his sword and cupped his fists.
"Leader Gongshu."
She is now under Gong Shuwu's tent, and is regarded as their soldier, but she spends most of her time learning formations from Zhao Feng...
"Why are you here?"
Gong Shuwu asked her: "Do you feel something is wrong?"
Bai Su was stunned: "No."
Gong Shuwu pointed to the sun in the sky.
"Four hours."
He is here to find someone.
Bai Su always goes to work on time on weekdays.
But no one was seen today. After asking around, no one had seen her. Gong Shuwu was worried that she would run into danger that he could not handle as a foreigner, so he followed her and found her.
When Bai Su's practice came to an end, his heart dropped.
Bai Su was puzzled at first, but he looked up as Gong Shuwu pointed and was surprised to find that the sun was in the wrong position.
She actually indulged in practicing for four full hours!
This is almost impossible to happen!
Her former profession was a snitch.
The time is always precise.
Only then did he realize that Gong Shuwu was here to find him. He couldn't help but feel ashamed for letting Gong Shuwu make such a trip, but at the same time, he also wondered in his heart - how could he make such a mistake?
She only felt that she was in better condition than ever in the morning, which was reflected in the fact that her body was lighter, as if the invisible restraints on her were loosened a lot, and her sword was more powerful. In the past, she could use one sword, but now she could use three swords... Continuation of the past
The moves that may have seemed obscure are now as smooth as flowing water, and you can pick them up at your fingertips...
Bai Su blinked.
Later I realized that my vision was not right either.
There was such a long distance between her and Gong Shuwu. In the past, she could only see clearly what his face looked like, but now she could see at a glance the tiny fuzz on his face and the slight rise and fall of his chest.
Bai Su raised his hands to cover his eyes.
Not only her eyes, ears, and nose seemed to have problems... She didn't feel panic, but a possibility emerged in her heart that made her blood rush. Could it be her——
Gong Shuwu chuckled lightly in his ears.
Although she was far away, she could hear clearly.
"Congratulations, Bai Su, a low-ranking official."
