133. Negotiate conditions
Jia Lian didn't care about any face, after all, this was the first few people in the family to speak alone, and he was not afraid of losing face, he smiled bitterly at Xue Pan and said: "The great kindness of the Chengwenlong brothers in front of him, he divided this one hundred and fifty pieces of salt and brought it back, originally expecting to earn some silver from a good life, but this is bad luck, and the situation is too bad, and now he has folded a lot of silver in vain, but he has lost a lot." ”
Xue Pan sounded a little incredible, this salt-led business is a million profits, not to mention that he took it to sell salt to sell, it was the ticket number mortgaged to the merchants, even if it was lent to others to do this business, it could get thousands of taels of silver a year, this is just the extent of collecting money, if you are not afraid of hard work, you will personally go out to do this business, and you will only make more money, how did you get to Jia Lian here, and still lose money?
Sister Feng said with a smile: "If you want me to say, our second master Lian doesn't have to put gold on his face, obviously those people under your command are useless, and they squander the things of the master's family at will. Other people's families are making money, why are we losing money? According to my temperament, I will arrest those people, beat him dozens of boards, and spit out all the fat in their mouths, which is enough for us to celebrate the New Year! ”
Xue Pan nodded, "What Sister Feng said is very true, this is possible, and besides, it is also possible that the people below do not know how to do this business, and there are also tricks that laymen will not be able to figure out for a while, if I didn't rely on the old people left by my grandfather and father before, these people have some experience, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do this salt-led thing." ”
"This is where I asked Brother Wenlong," Jia Lian leaned forward slightly towards Xue Pan, with a sincere look on his face, "In any case, I have to ask my brother to think of a way for me to do this, or send someone to help me out, otherwise how can I get by with my face, second brother?" ”
Xue Pan smiled and didn't answer, just picked up a piece of vinegar and fat intestines and ate it slowly, and praised it after half a sound, "This fat intestine is delicious and tight, and it burns better than the one at home." ”
Seeing that Xue Pan seemed unwilling to help, Jia Lian showed a little disappointed, Sister Feng poked Jia Lian and asked him to calm down, and smiled at Xue Pan, "Since it's delicious, let's eat more," she picked up chopsticks and gave Xue Pan a dish, "The taste of Duzhong is different from Jinling, except for the old lady, they still want to eat some Jinling-style dishes, we of the younger generation, but we all love to eat food here in Luoyang, cousin, you just came, I'm afraid you can't get used to it, Tete also prepared other dishes, and now I look at you and use it well." ”
"Everywhere I go, I will know a little bit of local customs, this food, is the most critical, the so-called local customs, this is the truth," Xue Pan said, "Jinling's dishes are light and fresh, the Northland Central Plains are thick and mellow, each has its own differences, I eat very well, Sister Feng's dishes," Xue Pan glanced at Sister Feng, "It suits my appetite." ”
"If my cousin likes to eat my dishes here, when will he be free," Sister Feng smiled, "I originally burned different from the big kitchen outside, it was extraordinarily delicate and delicious, your second brother Lian and I are so busy every day, we don't eat some delicious things, we don't have much hope for this day." ”
Xue Pan smiled slightly, "Second Brother Lian," Xue Pan put down his chopsticks and leaned on the cushion behind him, "Ask me to help, this is easy to do, the people who are here don't do the previous salt errands." ”
"Not doing it?" Jia Lianqi said, "Didn't you have hundreds of salt citations before, brother, and you did it with Jinling Mansion, it stands to reason that the yield here is much more than mine, how can you say that if you don't do it, you won't do it?" ”
"Originally, it was okay, but the new official took office, and Jia Yucun and I were not on the right path," Xue Pan said calmly, "The second brother knows, there was a conflict outside, someone died, and he put this matter on my head, so I had no choice but to take this salt and make a donation, and gave it to Jia Yucun, and he did it himself." ”
Xue Pan said the matter briefly, Jia Lian was obviously very unhappy, "In vain, I used to be blue-eyed at Jia Yucun, and I felt that this person had a promising future, and he was the same clan, and he might be the Olympic aid in the future, but now I heard my cousin say this, he is simply a white-eyed wolf, how can he rely on him to do anything, in vain, the old man is still very polite to him, and helped him to reinstate the official, if you want me to say, I must also hurry up and report to the master, so as not to be revolted by such a person." ”
"It's okay," Xue Pan said with a smile, "This salt introduction is still a trivial matter, relying on this matter to see people clearly, it's worth the money," Xue Pan said something in his words, "Don't talk about that Jia Yu Village, just say ours, if you want your younger brother to help you with one or two, it's cheap, but everything has to be made clear, the big guy made an appointment beforehand, and complain less afterwards, the second brother doesn't blame me for being a little child, it's just that I have always done business like this, and I don't want to blush in the future, Sister Feng, do you say it's not this reason?" ”
Sister Feng secretly admired in her heart, this cousin is much more powerful than her husband, these words are not hard or soft, and they do not lose face, but they will not say that they will make others feel that they are soft persimmons and knead them casually, "Naturally, this is the reason, and the brothers have to settle the accounts." What do you want, cousin, and you say it yourself, there is no reason to agree without consultation, the affection of relatives is all in the courtesy, if there is no return, no matter how good the relatives are, it will not last long, cousin, do you mean that. ”
"Naturally, that's what it means," Xue Pan stroked his palm and smiled, "Sister Feng said this, my brother will be relieved, second brother," Xue Pan looked at Jia Lian, "You naturally want to help with this, but I can't help in vain." ”
"Naturally, I have your good," Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I have a lot of fields and real estate in my hands to collect rent, and I also know that this former salt introduction is still short of a little money, and now although the cash turnover cannot be opened, it is not that there is nothing to mortgage, if this salt introduction is something that Cousin Wenlong is willing to help, if you want some shops and fields to be mortgaged temporarily, you can agree to it immediately for my brother." ”
Xue Pan smiled secretly in his heart, Jia Lian really valued this silver very much, otherwise he would not have proposed just a mortgage, after all, there is no reason for such a loser to give away the family property to outsiders, "Second Brother Lian said this, I will be relieved," Xue Pan raised his wine glass and toasted towards Jia Lian, "Then naturally, this matter is nothing." ”
