Chapter 334 Chapter 334: Add wine to the water [two in one]
Shen Tang looked suspiciously at Xu Jie and other answers.
Xu Jie looked at her delicately, and could only write the words "Mr. Shen knowingly asking?" on his face.
Shen Tang: "???"
She didn't put eyeliner on Xu Jie'an to watch him.
Where did I "knowingly ask"?
Seeing that the confusion in Shen Tang's eyes did not seem to be fake, Xu Jie's facial muscles twitched strangely and stiffly a few times, and said unnaturally: "Ahem, because Shangnan and Yiru have strict control over alcohol, they are not allowed to drink. It is not allowed to be sold, and you cannot use the normal way to enter these two places, so... well, it is inevitable to use some, some special means to evade..."
Shen Tang was confused.
"A special means of evasion? Could it be a smuggler?"
The so-called "smuggler" is smuggling.
According to Xu Jie's explanation, the wine management rights in Shangnan and Yiru are strictly controlled, and it is difficult for private merchants to obtain them. If they want to enter this market, they can only smuggle them illegally. But smuggling doesn't mean smuggling fifty altars into two hundred altars.
Xu Jie answered that this is not what the question asked.
"It's a bootlegger."
Also saved high city tax and liquor tax.
"How can fifty altars be smuggled into two hundred altars? Big jars are changed to small ones? This is convenient for smugglers to smuggle across the borders of the two places, and it is not easy to be discovered..." She said, not so angry in her heart , "It's been a hard journey."
Xu Jie: "..."
My lord, your "friend of Tangdi" stole your words!
He forced himself to ignore the urge to complain.
Dry smile: "It's not just changing the size of the wine jar."
Shen Tang: "???"
This is a lot of information!
Good guy, she calls herself a "profiteer", her feelings are still too naive! Expanding from fifty altars to two hundred altars, not only changed the size of the wine jars, but also added water to them?
Phew!
Is this the water mixed with bar?
Amidst the groans, Shen Tang's smile froze.
Xu Jie bit the bullet and used his brain.
Trying to make up for the lord and himself.
"Shen Jun, don't be angry, my lord did this after careful consideration. It is for the sake of the overall situation. Shen Jun, you think that the effect of the spirit wine you brewed by yourself is too obvious. Once it is sold to places other than Tianhai and Heyin, it will definitely be destroyed. It attracts countless pretenders, whether overt or covert. However, appropriately weakening the potency of the spirit wine will be beneficial and harmless to Shen Jun and our lord..."
It's not because he's a profiteer.
The idea was put forward by your "friend of Tangdi".
He has nothing to do with Xu Wenzhu.
He is serious and orderly in his business, and never deliberately seeks "reasonable tax avoidance" to make things difficult for those in power.
Speaking of this, the conversation of that day came to mind.
Xu Jie was shocked: [Wh, add water to the wine? 】
Wu Xian relied on a few idle books, turned a page leisurely, and asked with a smile: 【Otherwise? How much money can a mere fifty altars of wine earn? This is like throwing a stone into the river, how big can the splash be? Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing probably didn't notice this. Isn't the business of wine always mixed with seven parts of wine and three parts of water? 】
Xu Jie's expression was indescribable, and he said in a low voice: 【How can others not know, but Xie has never done this before...】
Wu Xian smiled and spoke bluntly.
【It’s not that you are asked to sell wine mixed with water in Tianhai, but in Shangnan and Yiru. Furthermore, brewing consumes food, so adding two more jars will save two jars of food? Even if it is mixed with water, the taste is only a little weaker, and the effect is weakened, so people can't taste the good or bad, what does Wenzhu think? 】
Xu Jie: 【…】
He just wanted to ask if this can be heard in broad daylight?
Why the lord and Shen Jun, the leaders of two big and small forces, always want to instill in him the "guidelines for cultivating profiteers".
One taught him how to avoid taxes reasonably, and the other taught him how to cheat...Xu Jie believed that the two of them were Tangdi's best friends.
Completely half-brother!
Xu Jie: 【But Shen Jun...】
Isn't this a broken signboard of spirit wine?
Wu Xian smiled—it’s not shameful to make a fortune in a silent voice! Shen Tang really dared to open the signboard of the spirit wine openly. In the morning, the signboard was displayed, and the enemy called at noon, and the person was buried at night.
Xu Jie couldn't resist his lord's determination to cut Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing's leeks, and finally entered the black wine market of the two places with the "middle version spirit wine" mixed with water.
It's just that Xu Jie didn't know that these wines were changed hands by Erdao dealers, and "low-allocation spirit wines" would be derived.
In short, it is to dilute Qisan again on the basis of the dilution of Qisan_(:з)∠)_
As for reasonable tax avoidance...
Xu Jie also made it clear to Wu Xian.
It’s just that I didn’t tell him Shen Tang’s divisive words of “I have what people have, not as much as I have” and “if you store grain but don’t store guns, your home is a granary; if you store guns but not grain, there are granaries everywhere”. Xu Jie knew what to say and what not to say.
Once he said it, Xu Jie dared to promise that he would always stand in Wu Xian's position, but would Wu Xian always believe it?
This test of trust can be as little or as little as possible.
Wu Xian listened with gusto, and was even so shocked that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He slapped the table and shouted the word "wonderful", wishing to make Shen Tang, who came up with such a tricky tax avoidance method, his confidant. If this guy is a merchant, he might be honored as the patriarch in later generations!
Xu Jie: 【…】
He felt that his lord was really out of order.
Wu Xian also realized that he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly showed his seriousness, and said in a deep voice: 【Shen Youli made this request because he did too much last time and caused dissatisfaction. This time, I will settle the matter again, just give more benefits, and let this matter be gently revealed. 】
Apologize with the drinker and act as if nothing happened.
Wu Xian shifted his eyes in a guilty conscience.
I also felt that I was a little bit too much in pitting Shentang last time. The old cows and the replaced farm tools were all packaged for others to clear the inventory. Fortunately, the seedlings and food were not mixed with water, otherwise Shen Tang would have thrown the table angrily and raised his sword to kill him.
Xu Jie heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
I am glad that I have explained to Shen Tang the next time I see you again.
Otherwise—
He probably entered Fugu vertically and exited horizontally.
Xu Jie recovered from the memories.
Shen Tang is still shocked by Wu Xian's flamboyant operation.
Speechless: "Brother Zhaode doesn't go into business, it's a pity."
What a good profiteer.
False and mixed with water so confident.
What else can Xu Jie do?
Naturally, it was embarrassing to accompany the laugh.
Who let this be the protagonist he chose.
At the same time, the "low-allocation spirit wine" after two times of dilution of Qisan was also quietly spread in Shangnan and Yiru.
The Erdao dealers are also clever, holding the source of goods tightly in their hands, shipping out little by little, and making a lot of money.
The corners of his mouth almost reached his earlobes.
The minimum price for a jar of wine is fifty taels.
That's it, it's hard to find another altar.
Although Shangnan and Yiru have strict control over alcohol, and there are very few wine shops with business licenses, the market is too big for these wine shops to eat. In addition, under the management and management of Gu Ren and Zhang He, the people's livelihood in the two places is relatively stable and prosperous, and alcohol is not a "luxury" that cannot be afforded. As long as there is a market and profits, there will be people who will take risks.
This law applies at all times.
Secret smugglers in the two places are also serious.
The umbrellas for smugglers are well-known and well-connected local families. If they say hello secretly, these guys with constant interests will turn a blind eye and close one eye tacitly, covering each other to earn some "extra money", hello Hello everyone.
Gu Ren knew that the "low-allocation spirit wine" was a feast after a long time, and at that time he thought the wine tasted good.
"Ji Shou, I don't understand. Isn't Wu Zhaode afraid of getting burned and being exposed and beaten?" After Xu Jie left, Shen Tang thought about it and felt that he couldn't worry about it alone. ".
Kang Shi was really surprised when he first heard Wu Xian's behavior as a profiteer, and he knew why after a little thought.
The taste of wine in this world is not too strong, even a boudoir daughter with a poor capacity for alcohol can drink a few pots.
The wine that Shen Tang spiritualized with words was different.
The wine has a strong aroma and a mellow taste.
It is not easy to find even if it is mixed with water.
This is probably the source of Wu Xian's confidence in cheating.
The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched: "..."
Sure enough, it was me who wasn't bad enough!
"Should we also enter the two markets?"
Shen Tang learned from the painful experience.
Kang Shi: "...what does my lord mean?"
Shen Tang gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "We are not the leeks in Wu Zhaode's yard, we are allowed to be cut by others. We ship the goods, why should Wu Zhaode, a black-hearted profiteer, make a lot of money? No, we have to rise up and resist!"
Say no to Wu Zhaode's overbearing!
Kang Shi frowned: "Isn't this exposed?"
Shen Tang felt that IQ was underestimated: "Who said we want to use our own banner? Who would be so stupid as to commit crimes by real-name smugglers? Isn't this playing in the minefield of Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing? We can take a roundabout way, Come politely!"
Kang Shi directly asked Shen Tang for the answer.
"How to be roundabout and tactful?"
After all, he is not a profiteer.
Can't keep up with the pace of my lord.
Shen Tang shouted loudly: "Cottage!"
Kang Shi was at a loss: "Shanzhai?"
Shen Tang said again: "You can also do OEM!"
Kang Shi: "OEM?"
These two words are all unfamiliar words.
For the strange and confusing words that come out of my lord's mouth from time to time, they are all labeled as "slang in the lord's hometown dialect". He doesn't need to trace the origin of these words, he just needs to know what they represent.
Shen Tang patiently explained to him: "That's right! Xu Wenzhu has already opened the market in Shangnan and Yiru, and the supply of spirit wine must be in short supply. We just need to follow him and secretly smuggle the water mixed with wine Go in, pretend to be the source of the goods in Xu Jie's hands, or simply pretend to be someone under Xu Wenzhu's sect, this batch of goods was secretly stolen by us behind Xu Wenzhu's back..."
She is not greedy either.
Do not sell Xu Wenzhu at such a high price.
Eager to get rid of it, half of it is fine.
Shen Tang: "If this way doesn't work, let's say that this wine was smuggled in from other countries, and the effect is similar to spirit wine. Cheap, big quantity!"
She patted Kang Shi on the shoulder.
Laugh treacherously.
Kang Shi: "...this method...is very good, very good."
The lord also complained to him that Wu Zhaode is a profiteer.
She doesn't give up too much!
Shen Tang also pretended to sigh: "People always have to force to know that they have such potential for doing business, hey—"
She and Wu Zhaode probably ordered the wrong skills.
Shen Tang is a hot-tempered person, and he does what he says.
I'm afraid that if I'm one step too late, I'll lose money.
Hey, no way, I'm afraid of poverty.
Shen Tang was enthusiastically researching how to mix alcohol into the water, and what ratio would make it impossible for the victim to taste it—that is, the poor Gong Shuwu who tried the wine, drank a lot of water.
When Shen Tang of Heyin Fugu had an idea, the wine market in Shangnan and Yiru began to flood.
_(:з)∠)_
Time passed and another twenty days passed.
The weather is starting to warm up gradually.
The warm spring breeze blows, and new leaves sprout on the treetops.
The clothes of the common people working on the construction site are no longer bloated.
After a winter day, the numbness and sluggishness of the past can rarely be seen on the face, replaced by a smile from the heart, and the expectation for the future surging in the eyes.
It was on such an ordinary day that the always low-key and ordinary Bai Su made a breakthrough! !
Yes, Wudan is done!
She wasn't even the first to discover this.
This day, Bai Su got up early to warm up and dance sword as usual.
From darkness to bright sky.
It was until the whole body became hot and the pantothenic acid in both arms stopped.
She is used to practicing in secluded places, and a quiet environment can make her more focused, but today is slightly different. An unexpected person came to the wasteland where she was the only one.
When Bai Su saw this person, he drew back his sword and cupped his fists.
"The leader of the uncle."
She is now under Gongshuwu's account, and counts as his soldiers, but most of the time she learns from Zhao Feng to arrange troops...
"Why are you here?"
Gong Shuwu asked her: "Do you feel something wrong?"
Bai Su was stunned: "Not at all."
Gong Shuwu pointed to the sun in the sky.
"Four hours."
He is looking for someone.
Bai Su will "go to work" on time on weekdays.
But today there was no one there, and no one had seen her after asking around. Gong Shuwu was worried that she would encounter danger that she could not deal with when she was a girl, so she followed her to find her.
When Bai Su's practice came to an end, his heart sank.
Bai Su didn't understand what it meant at the beginning, but following Gong Shuwu's pointing and raised his head, he was surprised to find that the position of the sun was wrong.
She was intoxicated and practiced for four full hours!
This is almost impossible to happen!
Her former occupation was a snitch.
The timing is always precise.
It was only then that I realized that Gong Shuwu was here to find me, so I couldn't help showing shame, and asked Gong Shuwu to make such a trip, but at the same time, I also muttered in my heart-how could I make such a mistake?
In the morning, she only felt that she was in a better state than ever before, which was reflected in the fact that her body was lighter, as if the invisible constraints facing her had been loosened a lot, and her sword strikes were stronger. The tricks that I feel are obscure, but they are as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, and I can come at my fingertips...
Bai Su blinked.
Lately, I realized that my vision was also wrong.
With such a large distance between her and Gong Shuwu, she could at most see his face clearly before, but now she can see the fine fluff on his face and the slight rise and fall of his chest at a glance.
Bai Su raised his hands to cover his eyes.
Not only her eyes, but also her ears and nose seemed to have problems... She didn’t feel panic, but a possibility that made her blood rush with excitement, could it be that she—
Uncle Gong Wu laughed lightly in his ears.
She was clearly far away, but she could hear clearly.
"Congratulations, low-level public official Bai Su."
