Chapter 29: Painting Cakes
The delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the delicacies of silk and bamboo, and the orchestral beauties are wonderful.
This is the life of a local tyrant.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were dumbfounded, one of them was at the bottom, and the other was at the level of a small landlord, where had they ever seen such a luxurious banquet.
Guo Jia was also breathtaking.
This is the true portrayal of the Northland Haoqiang.
There is no and there is a field, life is boundless, and the dock fort is heavily defended, just like a soil emperor.
Dance is over!
Su clapped his hands, and the singers slowly retreated.
The old fellow stood up and took the bar.
"Lord Taishou has arrived, and there is nothing to entertain in the backwoods. I hope that Lord Taishou will forgive his sins! ”
"Su Lao is serious! It should be the official's thanks for the hospitality. ”
Guo Jia immediately stood up.
"I don't know if Lord Taishou is here, do you have any advice?"
Su Ze put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.
The Su family is one of the heroes of Zhongshan County, and the previous Taishou will come to visit, Guo Jia came to visit, Su Ze was not surprised, but I heard Su Shuang say that this Taishou has not yet taken up his new post, and the first stop is to Su's house, which makes Su a little surprised.
Because the No. 1 Haoqiang in Zhongshan County is the Lunu Zhang family, Guo Jia should be the first to visit the Zhang family if he wants to visit.
"It's not a secret, this official came this time to give a big fortune to the Su family."
Great wealth!
The crowd was immediately intrigued.
With the assets of the Su family, ordinary wealth is not visible at all, and if others are rich and rich, the Su family will definitely scoff at it. But these words came from the mouth of the Taishou Lord, so naturally it is not trivial.
Oh!
Su Ze's eyes narrowed suddenly.
"I want to hear about it!"
The old man's smile did not change.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "If this official understands well, the Su family is not the first strong, and it is barely the third in Zhongshan." ”
The Su family nodded.
Although they are very confident in their own forces, they dare not claim to be the first in Zhongshan, after all, there are Zhang family and Zhen family above.
If......
Guo Jia raised his voice.
"The Su family is willing to cooperate with this official, so it won't be long before the Su family will become the number one powerhouse in Zhongshan and even in the north!"
As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused a sensation.
The first strong in the north?
It's a big pie.
How could they not be interested?
Cooperate!
Su Ze's eyes narrowed again.
Although he was also very tempted by Guo Jia's proposal, he was old and knew that there was no good thing in the world to drop pies.
"I don't know how Lord Fujun plans to cooperate with the Su family?"
Everyone suddenly held their breath.
They also want to know this question.
Very simple!
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Partnership to do business!" ”
Doing business in partnership?
Everyone suddenly looked at each other.
The Su family was originally a businessman, and there were several large caravans, coming from the south to the north to make money, and they still needed to cooperate with the government?
Su Shuang was also a little puzzled.
What kind of wealth is this?
Seeing that the people of the Su family all had puzzled expressions on their faces, Guo Jia had a smile on his face.
"The Su family has a caravan and is no stranger to doing business. Buying low and selling high from south to north, although it can be regarded as making money, the scale of the business is too small and the cycle is too long. In the event of a natural or man-made disaster, bandits will suffer heavy losses. ”
He didn't say a word, and the people of the Su family nodded.
For Guo Jia's evaluation, they still agree with it.
If......
Guo Jia raised his voice again.
"If this official can build Zhongshan County into a border trade transit station on the border, I think you won't have such a hard time."
Transfer?
Everyone was stunned.
Do you need a transit station to do business?
However, if Zhongshan County really becomes a transit station, then it will naturally be much more convenient for them to do business.
"What do you mean to open a horse market here?"
Su Shuang on the side interjected.
The horse market was a way of border trade, and the Han Dynasty opened bazaars on the border from time to time, and people from both countries could enter to do business within a specified time.
Both sides set up cards to collect taxes, which is the horse market.
It is said that the Su family's horse team is mainly engaged in trading in the horse market, and they naturally know much about it.
But here's the problem.
Zhongshan is not a border county, even if Guo Jia gets the horse market, people can't come here to trade.
When it comes to doing business, location is the most important thing.
Guo Jia had already thought about this question when he came, and he already had a draft.
"What if, the official promises, that all transactions in Zhongshan will not be taxed? And will it keep them safe? ”
Guo Jia threw a bombshell again.
What the?
The people of the Su family were stunned.
The reason why the imperial court was keen on the horse market was to collect taxes, which was an important income.
If Zhongshan County can really not collect taxes as Guo Jia said, then the surrounding horse teams will definitely flock to it.
In this way, Zhongshan County will really become a transit point for the horse team.
But......
Su Shuang flashed a wave of doubt again.
But what good is this for Guo Jia?
He couldn't figure it out.
If Guo Jia can really do it, Zhongshan may not be able to become a transit station for the goods of the North and South Horse Teams.
This plan works!
Several core figures of the Su family nodded.
If Zhongshan can really become the first major transit station in the north, then the Su family will naturally be able to rise with its own advantages, and it may not be impossible to become the first wealthy family in the north in the long run.
"Lord Fujun!"
Su Ze also hugged his fists.
"There's a question that the old man doesn't quite understand. Please advise me! Why would Lord Fujun cooperate with our Su family instead of the Zhang family? ”
This is also something that the Su family does not understand.
If Guo Jia can really build Zhongshan into a transit station for the circulation of goods between the north and the south, then even the Zhang family will bow down to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Because, there won't be any Zhang family in the future!" ”
On the side of the couch there is no room for others to sleep soundly.
Guo Jia is the Taishou of Zhongshan County, and this Zhang family is the first powerful in Zhongshan, if Guo Jia wants to control Zhongshan County, he must first get rid of the Zhang family, not to mention that the Zhang family still has Zhang Chun, a rebel.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The new official has taken office with three fires, does this county guard plan to take the Zhang family first?
Su Ze suddenly pondered.
He suddenly understood the purpose of Guo Jia's trip.
This is too defensive and weak, and if he wants to get rid of the Zhang family, he must use the hands of the Su family.
If the Su family is willing to contribute, then the development of Zhongshan County in the future will inevitably be less than the benefits of the Su family.
But if the Su family refuses, then it is probably their Su family who will be eliminated.
Because since this Taishou can come to visit them, he will naturally be able to visit other clans, and if he can't say that the words in his mouth will become that there will be no Su family in the future.
This Taishou drew a big cake for them, do the Su family want to eat it?
Several core figures of the Su family couldn't help but look at each other.
It's a big gamble.
If the bet is won, the Su family may really be able to become the number one family in the north, and if the bet is lost, the Su family will be doomed.
To bet or not to bet?
The people of the Su family were once again in a dilemma.
