Chapter 202: Smashing the Pot (24)
In the year 336 of the Great Song Dynasty and the year 1296 of the Western calendar, the governments with state systems or quasi-state systems on the islands of the world knew about the war between the Mongols and the slave dynasties, and they paid more or less attention. The Great Song Dynasty did not regard this matter as a big deal, and even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Governors and Domains, which were in charge of this matter, did not take it seriously.
Lu Baifeng was more cautious, and when he got the information with the Ministry of Affairs, he also asked Luo Yiren what he thought. Luo Yiren blinked, and replied with some embarrassment: "You ask me what I think, I don't know." At most, the death of three or five million people can be called a matter? ”
For such a muddy answer, Lu Baifeng didn't know how to deal with it for a while. He thought about it carefully, and found that such a muddy answer was actually reasonable. In the wars in which the Great Song Dynasty participated in the past 20 years, the Great Song Dynasty solved more than 20 million lives, and it is difficult to calculate how many people died in the war. A conservative estimate would be 10 million. If it's just three to five million dead people, and it's not the dead Song people, is there really anything wrong with this? Lu Baifeng wanted to be moved by this, but felt that his excitement was really a bit pretentious.
With a little shame, Lu Baifeng simply said cheerfully: "Just let them die!" ”
The two responsible persons have such an attitude, and no one in the Great Song Dynasty is even more interested in it. But when Lu Baifeng came home from work, his distant nephew was waiting at home. Seeing his relatives, Lu Baifeng sighed in his heart. He can make himself not care about the killing of the outside world, but he can't care about his family.
"Uncle, this is a gift from the family." Nephew Lu very politely took a package.
Lu Baifeng didn't care what was inside the package, his attention was all on his nephew. Seeing that this guy didn't make the slightest mistake, Lu Baifeng was a little relieved. Back then, his father posted big-character posters opposing the state-owned land of Zhao Guan's family in the minister's community, and Lu Baifeng almost couldn't be a man. Lu Baifeng was very scared every time he thought of it, but fortunately, the official family was generous, not only did he not care about this matter, but also personally came forward to protect Lu Baifeng. At that time, even if the official family ignored it, other officials could make the Lu family go up in smoke. Since then, Lu Baifeng has tried to distance himself from his relatives. If someone from the Lu family dares to come again, the Lu family will definitely be finished. Even if Lu Baifeng committed suicide, it was impossible to protect the family.
Seeing that his uncle was so cautious, Nephew Lu said calmly: "Uncle, my father was extremely opposed to me before I came this time. He said that the second grandfather made such a thing, and the uncle was already very hard. If you add trouble to your uncle again, it will be self-destruction. I know what my father said, but I can only ask my uncle for help in this matter, and I want to borrow some money. ”
As soon as he heard that it was borrowing money, Lu Baifeng felt that his heart fell back into his stomach. He asked, "What's going on with your business?" ”
"We have a shipment of cloisonné keys. Tianzhu is in a hurry, and it must be shipped as soon as possible. I originally thought it was a big problem, but the deposit was given there, and I worked overtime to produce and needed money. ”
"The key to cloisonné?" Lu Baifeng's brows furrowed. It's true that this matter has nothing to do with government affairs, but it sounds too outrageous. Cloisonné is a copper embryo mold, and the space left by the copper embryo is filled with frit for firing. You can make beautiful jewelry or objects with bright colors. Many of the ornaments on military uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty are cloisonné firing. But what's the use of the Tianzhu Slave Dynasty getting so many keys? It's weird no matter how you look at it.
"Are you sure it's not a lie?"
"The accounts over there have arrived. It's just that the process is too long, and the delivery is still urging over there. To be delivered as soon as possible. I can't help it, the wages of the workers can be delayed, but I have to give people cash to buy materials. The gap is too big, so I can only come to my uncle for help. ”
After listening to his nephew's words, Lu Baifeng asked again and found that the whole process was very standardized. It's just that the other party wants a huge amount of goods, and it asks for 700,000 pieces. The profit margin is not high, and the volume is large enough. There is a lot to earn as a whole. Seeing that his nephew was so anxious, Lu Baifeng could only let his nephew wait, he ran to Luo Yiren's house by himself and called Luo Yiren, who was already asleep.
If someone else dares to disturb like this, Luo Yiren's wife will dare to say unpleasant things only if she is afraid. It was Lu Baifeng who did this, and Luo Yiren's wife was also unhappy. Lu Baifeng knew that he was missing courtesy, and hurriedly apologized. Then he called Luo Yiren to the study and closed the door to ask. The answer given by Luo Yiren verified the words of Lu's nephew, the entire payment route is indeed no problem, but there have been cases in the past where someone used the currency circulating in the outside colony to cash out in the Great Song Market, and it was a matter of someone being masturbated and the whole group being sentenced for more than ten years. According to the urine nature of the bureaucracy, in order not to make mistakes, they set up layers of audit methods, that is, as slow as possible.
The relationship between Lu Baifeng and Luo Yiren is okay, but the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the Imperial Court are jokingly called two sides of the same coin, but in fact they are still one, and they both work for the overseas interests of the Great Song Dynasty. Lu Baifeng couldn't hide it, so he told Luo Yiren about it. Now Luo Yiren is also interested, what do you want to do to get hundreds of thousands of keys. Luo Yiren thought for a while and smiled: "I'll tell you, it's not impossible to do this thing." However, I suggest that this copper blank does not use pure copper, and the core is simply counted with a steel core. ”
"You think businessmen are stupider than us!" Lu Baifeng sighed. He took out a few samples and handed them to Luo Yiren, who saw that the key was exquisitely made, and the model was still flat. There's really no way to use a steel core, so you have to process the steel sheet to a very thin one. If you look closely, there are zigzag patterns on it, which looks very eye-catching. I just leaned over to the candle and looked at it, and I couldn't see it clearly, and I didn't understand it.
Lu Baifeng said: "I have asked, this is the text of the True God Sect, which means that the true God is the greatest, died for God and went to heaven. ”
"What kind of trouble is this?" Luo Yiren was completely confused.
"I don't know, that's why I'm here to ask you." Lu Baifeng also lamented.
"Forget it." Luo Yiren sighed. After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something again, "Are you not rich enough?" ”
"Uh......" Lu Baifeng really didn't come here to borrow money, he just wanted to ask clearly. But Luo Yiren asked such a question, and Lu Baifeng suddenly remembered that he really didn't have enough money. Where is the cash that tens of thousands of yuan can be taken out, Lu Baifeng's money is also invested in the sea, and there is no living money in his hand. The money was so urgent, he had to move it.
After thinking about it, Lu Baifeng decided to owe Luo Yiren such a favor. He replied: "More or less, I'll let my nephew give you some dividends when he gets the payment." If he loses, I won't let you lose. ”
"Hehehe. This...... That's it. Luo Yiren doesn't care so much about money, and he just helps Lu Baifeng.
The two ministers pooled the money, and when Lu Baifeng handed over the money to his nephew, he emphasized that he should repay the money as soon as possible, and he had to give Luo Yiren some dividends. As soon as the nephew heard that the ministers of the domain were willing to borrow money, he immediately smiled and left in a hurry. Looking at his nephew's back, Lu Baifeng felt as if he was very uneasy.
