In the small pavilion on the second floor of Yanliu Building, Du Zhongxiao said to Yelu Buhua: "Lang Jun is a Khitan nobleman, why don't you go to the yamen if you have something?" We sat here to talk, and we were seen by people with a heart, but we were afraid to gossip. ”

Yelu Buhua said: "When I arrived at the Yamen, I was seen and gossiped!" I didn't come this time, and I wasn't sent by Xijing Province, so it's not easy to be seen. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's not sent by Xijing Dao, is it for the southwest to recruit the division?" ”

Yelu said impatiently: "This time it's not for business, it's for the business of Tanglong Town." ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, knowing in his heart that this little Langjun with a special identity was only afraid that he was here to ask for benefits.

After serving the wine and food, the two drank a glass of each other, and Yelu Buhua said: "I heard that the Zhijun has set up a cabinet shop in the city, and you can use the goods to sell bonds as collateral, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Yes, there is. Lang Jun knew that merchants who bought and sold goods and transported them here from elsewhere could not sell them for a while, so they would inevitably be depressed. The capital is insufficient, and it is a pity that some businesses make money, but they can't do it? That's where bonds come in. ”

Yelu touched the wine glass with his hand, looked at Du Zhongxiao, and said with a smile: "Zhijun, the goods are mortgaged, and there is a lot of interest during the process——"

Using goods as collateral to make the cabinet shop valuation, it will inevitably be undervalued. Once the new goods arrive, they cannot raise the money in time and mortgage them again, and they will fall into the cycle of borrowing new debts to repay old debts. In the end, the merchant became a part-time worker for the cabinet. Yelu Buhua's mind is full of business scriptures, and this kind of doorway is clear at a glance. However, this practice allows the merchant to make more money with the same capital, and both parties benefit.

Du Zhongxiao looked at Yelu Buhua's expression, knew what he was thinking, and said: "The cabinet shop needs countless capital to do this business, and it also takes risks. can do it, all rely on the guarantee of the Tanglong Town Yamen, and others can't do this business. ”

Yelu Buhua's face was displeased: "Tanglong Town can be built here, and it also depends on the cooperation of our Northern Dynasty, otherwise where would there be so many merchants?" Zhijun, the benefits can't all be swallowed by you alone, how can we also leave some soup and water. ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly: "Simple, this is a matter of mutual benefit for us." Lang Jun can also open a cabinet in Shengzhou, we give each other convenience, the money can be deposited and exchanged for the best, and the benefits will not be in your hands. ”

The bonds of Tanglongzhen were mainly for northern goods, and similarly, the Khitan could do the same for Song goods in Shengzhou. Even many of Tanglong Town's methods, Khitan can copy them in Shengzhou, and it depends on whether they can do it well.

Yelu Buhua nodded: "I have my own plans for this matter, and when the time comes to use the Zhijun, don't shirk." ”

Du Zhongxiao arched his hand: "Lang Jun just speaks, as long as he doesn't violate my rules here, he will help you!" ”

Yelu Buhua asked about the operation of the cabinet shop in Tanglong Town, although he only knew a rough idea, he was already a little itchy. Du Zhongxiao is right, making money with money is a clever means, what kind of business to do, what is there to make with hard money?

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the two sides roughly figured out the details of each other, and they became enthusiastic when they spoke. Yelu Buhua said: "I heard that there is an Octagon Association in Tanglong Town, which is a cabinet shop, and it is full of rich and noble people who do big business. I wonder if Zhijun can make it convenient for me to join the club? ”

Du Zhongxiao said with a smile: "Lang Jun, in this kind of place, the most important thing is not to break the rules. Once the rules are broken, no one will trust you, and you will not be able to do these businesses for a living. Even the people of our government want to join the Bafang Society, and they must follow the rules. Three thousand guan is not a lot of money, so what if Lang Jun saved it in it? In the future, there will inevitably be business here, and all this money will be useful. ”

Yelu didn't spend a moment patting the table: "Okay, I'll believe the words of the Zhijun and save three thousand yuan in it!" Also, the goods here in Tanglong Town, what I want to buy most is sugar, can Zhijun make it convenient? ”

Du Zhongxiao said with a smile: "In the shops in the city, there are mountains of sugar, just go and buy it." Don't hide it from Lang Jun, the merchant who transported the sugar, because it was too slow to sell it piecemeal, had already mortgaged it to the cabinet and took the money to sell the next batch. In the future, here in Tanglong Town, there will be all the sugar! ”

Because his subordinates were the first to sell alcohol, Yelu's capital was suppressed, and he couldn't sell sugar on a large scale for a while, so he was always worried. This is a scarce commodity in the north, and he is afraid that he will be too late to buy the goods. After listening to Du Zhongxiao's words, he was relieved.

Happy in his heart, Yelu Buhua drank a few glasses of wine. At this time, I noticed that most of the dishes on the table were fried, which was shiny and delicious. After tasting a bite of fried meat slices, he sighed: "This restaurant is really a good cook, the meat is not fat or greasy, it is not grilled or fried, it is delicious and delicious, I have never eaten it before." And this fish, which is crispy on the outside, but extremely sweet on the inside, and sweet, but is there sugar in it? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "There is a point, adding sugar to enhance freshness, stir-fried fish and stir-fried vegetables are all excellent." ”

Yelu Buhua nodded again and again: "When I go back to Shengzhou this time, I will also build such a restaurant." The boiled and roasted meat, although it was large, was tired of eating it every day. Speaking of eating, you people in the Southern Dynasty are still particular about eating. ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled and nodded, but did not answer. The most important thing in this restaurant is stir-frying, Yelu doesn't spend time to learn, but I'm afraid it's not easy. Now the Khitan not only does not have a wok, nor does it have oil for stir-frying, and no one knows this craft. Of course, he has money, and it is not difficult to be willing to spend money to hire a cook.

After tasting the dish for a while, Yelu Buhua put down his chopsticks, stepped forward and whispered: "Zhijun, I heard that you intend to build a gambling place outside the city?" I've heard that gambling is banned in the southern country, does this work? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is the land of the Valley, and you can't follow the law in everything." Lang Jun, there are so many rich and noble people in the city now, and there is nothing to do on weekdays, how can they be idle? If they don't build a place outside the city, they will cause trouble in the city. ”

Thinking of what happened to him a few days ago, Yelu Buhua showed a mysterious smile on his face. A large number of rich people get together, and it is indispensable to eat, drink and have fun for them, otherwise what are they doing idle every day? I can't spend a lot of money in my hand, and my heart is not like a cat scratching. This kind of thing can't be banned if you want to, and if the government doesn't allow it, they will make an underground world.

Du Zhongxiao didn't know that in a month, there were already small-scale underground casinos in Tanglong Town, as well as various entertainment industries. Zhang Qi led his men and horses here, mainly to guard the city, maintain order, and basically ignore the daily security. The shops in the city were organized and managed by guilds and armor protection, and there was nothing messy. But those who come from outside have become a blank space.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao's outspokenness, Yelu Buhua tapped on the table and said, "Zhijun, the business of the cabinet shop is monopolized by you, and this business cannot be without me no matter what." Otherwise, business in the north will not be easy to do in the future. ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled and nodded: "I didn't let Lang Jun interfere in the first place." This kind of business is too widely implicated, and without the cooperation of the two of us, there will be endless troubles in the future. In this way, Lang Jun went back to Shengzhou to discuss, how much of you are willing and necessary to participate in this matter, and we will subscribe to the capital according to the share capital. After making money, everyone will share it according to the capital, how? ”

Hearing this, Yelu Buhua became interested, stepped forward and lowered his voice: "What do you mean by knowing the army?" Listen to you, am I not the only one, but other people who also make this money? ”

"Of course! Lang Jun, gambling money is easy to make, but gambling debts are also the most difficult to chase. If there is a person with an extraordinary identity who comes and owes a debt and flees to the Northland, how can we collect the debt? This depends on Lang Jun to share the benefits to the relevant people, so that the business will be stable in the future. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable!" Yelu Buhua nodded repeatedly. "What about the Zhijun here? It is also necessary to have big people involved. ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head: "No need, the capital we have here is from Hedong Road." Someone owes a debt here, and the Department of Economic Strategy comes forward, which one dares not to give! ”

Yelu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the Song Dynasty to be official. In the business of the Economic Strategy Division, no one really dares to owe money, no matter what your identity is, it will be good if the yamen does not pit you. But he can't be brought forward by the Recruiting Division. One is that the recruitment department does not have this rule, and the other one makes money, who is it? Never let solicitation benefit a man.

After thinking about it for a while, Yelu Buhua had a plan in his heart. I went back to discuss this matter with Yelu Yuanzuo, that is, to recruit the generals of the envoy, and he distributed the benefits. It's nothing more than waiting for the new official to come, pay the money and buy the share capital.

The Khitan generals guarded the places in the border areas, and there were many ways to get money. In addition to the money, doing business is a trivial matter, and there are ordinary looting, looting slaves, cattle and sheep, which are all wealth. When the people were replaced, some of them transported their belongings home, and some of them were sold to the next general. The capital of the casino here in Tanglong Town is nothing more than this. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you still have to build a cabinet shop, just borrow it.

For people like Yelu Buhua and Yelu Yuanzuo, the family has its own head military state, and the population is supplemented by looted slaves. Since the alliance of Lanzhou, the Khitan foreign wars have decreased, there are no slaves, and many military states under the head have insufficient populations and slow development. The war with the party was an opportunity for these Khitan nobles to replenish the population, and the border was plundered every year, and they all accumulated a lot of wealth.

The population is all blatant private property, what is the point share capital of the casino here? Jerod didn't spend time to make up his mind, but he was calculating in his heart. Shengzhou is the rear of the Khitan war with the party, most of the materials are gathered there, and it is also the starting point to Tanglong Town, and the most important thing is to let Yelu Yuanzuo, who is in charge there, benefit. There are also several key officials of the Southwest Recruitment Division, which also need to be addressed. Do the math, the cost is not small.

This is all money that should be spent, and Yelu is not a stingy person if he doesn't spend it. One day in the future, if an unsightly person loses hard here, he will earn the money back if he wants a gambling debt.
