Chapter 638: The money is not in me, so I lure it to you
Chen Zhi's words, the voice is not high, especially when the surrounding crowd is noisy, it is even more difficult for the people below to hear clearly, but Zhang Jingsheng and others are not far away because of the distance, first heard that Chen Zhi wants to share the interests of papermaking, and now he said such things to the Tang family, and several people immediately understood.
"It's ...... Do you want to give a reward to your face? Wang Kuai's brows furrowed, and he said with some uncertainty.
"First suppress, then give benefits, and envy and apply the law," Lu Jian immediately frowned, "But what do you mean by the two that the Tang family said?" Indo-French? This statement is a bit new, that kiln method should be some kind of porcelain burning method, I didn't expect this Taishou to still have these, but now I say it......"
"What's so strange about this," Luo Yang replied wrongly, "Don't you also know that this Taishou had a close relationship with the Tang family before, and the two sides also agreed on cooperation, that is, on that Chen's paper, this paper is very popular in Luoyang, and even the south has heard of it, don't we also say it in those family letters, if the Tongdian can't be done for the time being, buy Chen's paper first!" Now that the matter of selling a handful of paper is open to other families, the Tang family must be dissatisfied, and if it is our family, we must also appease, I think this move is also a matter of course. ”
What he said is also well-founded, these days, the situation in the north has changed, and the imperial court is very troubled by this, but the Central Plains Shilin is another world, and these people are more concerned about Chen's paper, which is more friendly to painting and writing.
Chen's paper is the Daijun paper in Chen Zhi's mouth.
Compared with Beidi Daijun, the clans in the Central Plains prefer to be named after the "Chen family", because in this way they feel that they are high-grade enough and can be on the table.
Popular means rushing, but at the time of the war in the north, plus there are disputes in Hebei, and Chen Zhi can be controlled, this kind of white paper is not widely circulated in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it can even be said to be rare.
Except for Luoyang, the capital of the empire, in other places, it is almost only heard of and its name is not heard, and only the top nobles can obtain some Chen's paper while obtaining those few copies of the general canon.
Luo Yang, Zhang Jingsheng and several of them, behind them are big families, the family has a lot of power in Luoyang, and there are many contacts, so they can come into contact with this kind of paper, and it is specially indicated in the family letter that other slightly smaller families do not have this convenience.
But it is precisely because of this that it will become more and more sought after, especially after the famous people of the great clan, who use that paper to write calligraphy, depict danqing, and then show it to others, this need becomes more and more intense.
In fact, the war has just ended, and it can't even be said to be over, but there are walking merchants in Dai County immediately, and many of them just want to come to find business opportunities, and the key is in a "paper" word.
These situations are also known to the major families, but they were worried about the survival of the family's interests and were wary of foreign invasions, so they didn't put their minds on this at all, but now when Chen Zhi mentioned it, they all suddenly started thinking.
Luo Yang's words actually represent the thoughts of some people from the Daijun family.
His companions, though, seem to have a different opinion.
"You misunderstood," Zhang Jingsheng shook his head slightly, "What we were surprised by was these two items proposed by Taishou, according to the situation of the Chen paper, the two items mentioned by Taishou in this matter must not be simple, but it is inevitable that people will be confused if they are announced in this kind of place, after all, there are many people here, and they will soon spread out." ”
"That's right to hear you say that." Luo Yang immediately frowned.
On the other side, Tang Taigong of the Tang family, along with Tang Dian and Tang Zi, were also a little surprised.
After hearing Chen Zhi's instructions, several people must have dissatisfaction in their hearts, and even many other negative emotions, but these emotions have to give way to doubts at the moment.
Tang Taigong hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Are you sure Taishou wants to say it here?" ”
When Chen Zhi heard this, he said with a smile: "That's right, this kind of thing is really not conducive to discussion here, there are a lot of things in it, and it's not something we can say clearly, let's talk about it at another time, what do you think?" ”
"Yes, Taishou is right."
"Yes, you have to conquer Daibei recently, and this matter is really not in a hurry."
"Well, there are a lot of people talking here, and it's not a place to talk, so it's safest to talk about it another day in that elegant place, while drinking and talking."
After asking a word, the people of the family who were all full of righteous indignation just now seemed to have changed their faces in a blink of an eye, and regardless of the occasion, they seemed to forget that a few people had died one after another just now, and they all tried their best to smile.
Looking at this scene, Wu Jie, who was on the side, realized that the situation was probably very bad, so he was over, grabbed him and Zheng Ru, and escorted him down.
This time, it was not under house arrest, but directly in prison.
Chen Zhi didn't look at these two people, and still negotiated with the scholars.
"In that case, then in two days, I will discuss these in detail, and the situation of Daijun should be clear at that time."
With Chen Zhi's words falling, this drama of trial and execution can be regarded as coming to an end, but because of the impact of this incident, it has just begun.
Today's execution is like a ripple that ripples ripples when a huge piece of water is smashed on the originally calm water, and it continues to spread to the surroundings.
Almost at the same time as the execution ended, more than a dozen fast horses set off from all over Dai County to run in several directions, but what they didn't expect was that before the fast horses on this side could run, they were stopped by the soldiers who had been ambushed there for a long time, and then they were caught one after another.
This news was then reported and presented to Chen Zhi by Su Liao.
"Taishou, just now, the seventeen horsemen in front and behind were all stopped, and they were being forced to ask where they came from."
Chen Zhi put down the book in his hand, nodded, and then said: "This is just an opportunity, follow the vine to find out some of these spies lurking in other aspects of Dai County, which can be regarded as a warning." ”
Su Liao nodded, and then said: "But in this group of people, there must also be forces that are friendly with us, these people still have to be released, and because of the sudden attack, and the incident at the execution ground happened not long ago, they can be caught off guard, presumably those who act secretively and safely will first spread the news, and then ride away from the surrounding dock forts and manors, such people, but they can't be caught." ”
Chen Zhi smiled and said: "What you said is right, so I said that this move is more of a warning, and it is also to find out what are the forces that are paying attention to Daixian at the moment, but after all, these are your responsibilities, I am not worried, it is best not to affect your layout because of this fight." ”
Several people under Chen Zhi's command now have their own divisions, and Su Liao is mainly responsible for the area of the intelligence network.
Not only did he send spies outside, but he also had to organize manpower to clean up the interior and find out the eyeliner that other forces had planted in.
Hearing Chen Zhi's words, Su Liao shook his head and said: "Don't worry about this, most of the people I have in my hands now provide information, and there are other people who pass on information, so they can find some reasons to stay, of course, these people are also more restrained this time, and they didn't immediately send people out to spread the news." ”
"What can be lurked is tempered." Chen Zhi nodded again, and then looked at the book in his hand, but soon he noticed Su Liao's expression, and when he saw that the other party wanted to speak again, he couldn't help asking, "If you have anything to say, you can say it." ”
Su Liao hesitated for a moment before he said, "The Lord really plans to hand over the sale of paper to those families?" As a result, a lot of the profits will be controlled by them, and I am afraid that our original expected income will be reduced by at least fifty percent! ”
For Chen Zhi's papermaking business, at the beginning, although some people were puzzled, but after the value was shown, Su Liao and others estimated the approximate future income, and got a considerable figure, and then included it in the future plan.
But because of Chen Zhi's current decision, this income will be reduced by half, and the impact on the follow-up plan will of course be great.
"Fifty percent reduction is indeed not a small amount," Chen Zhi put down the book in his hand, "but we are not businessmen after all, when looking at the income of goods, the angle should be changed, and if we can use a little money and goods to tie those families to our chariot, this is much more useful than making more money." ”
He paused, and then said: "Think about it, after these families sell paper, they slowly realize the high returns, and they will inevitably invest more and more, so in order to maintain this part of the work, they will also try to be friendly with us, saving a lot of steps to win over, not to mention, the manufacturing of this paper is actually not large, the price of the things used is not expensive, even if the general profit is divided, we still have objective gains." ”
Su Liao was already good at this, but he had thought too much about it before, so he was negligent, and he was stopped a little, and he understood it in an instant.
"What the Lord said is very much, this money will be spent, maybe in order to win over many families, it will have to invest a lot, it is better to let them and us have the same interests as now, so as to lure them." Su Liao nodded, and then frowned again, "But in this case, there is also a slight problem, that is, we originally planned the follow-up needs of raising troops according to the paper income, but now we have to revise it." ”
"This is not necessary," Chen Zhi smiled mysteriously, "The paper is not secret, and the current Daijun paper, although it is respected, will soon have better quality paper, which can increase the price, in addition, the two methods that I talked about with the Tang family are also promising, if it is done, its benefits are still on the Daijun paper, even ten times, a hundred times!" ”
When Su Liao heard this, his face was full of astonishment, and he wanted to ask.
Chen Zhi waved his hand and said: "This matter will wait for the Tang family to come over to discuss, depending on their choice, I have made a decision with them for tomorrow morning." ”
Seeing that Chen Zhi didn't want to talk more, Su Liao gave up, and then said: "In addition, the Lord said today that he wanted to take down Wang Quan, since it has been spread out, he must make plans in advance." ”
Chen Zhi heard this and said with a smile: "I have already sent out this soldier and horse, but there is news from the city again?" Did that Ruan Leopard catch it? ”
