C3544 reversed application (1/2)
”Does old shopkeeper have any plans in the future?” Xu Zhanbiao asked.
”Plans? Sigh … ”I've brought my nephew out to do some business. I've heard that the roads to the southern border are sealed, but the northern border has accumulated a large amount of Xinjiang jade …”
”To change the tea bricks from the Central Plains to the materials from the Hami … It's not just a hundred times the profit, it's a thousand times the profit! ”
”Greed …” ”He's too greedy. He thought that if he could win this gamble, the Stellar Gorge would be robbed by the rebel army …”
Xu Zhanbiao laughed coldly, ”Of course it's a windfall to be rich in war, but old shopkeeper, have you never thought about the dangers?”
”I have!” I've really thought about it, but I didn't expect it to be this serious … ”Actually, this old man has already calculated the amount of money needed for all the bribes along the way!”
”It's impossible to not use the money to open up a path in a lucrative business … Along the way, basically all the posts were bought with money! ”
”General, don't blame me …” No wonder... ”We've already been detained by the rebel army for two years. Two years ago, the general's army still hasn't arrived. It's all because of the rebels and the local garrison, so it has nothing to do with General Hu Ben …”
”Actually, for us business people, using money to bribe to ensure a smooth business is not a big deal. We consider the amount of bribed money more in the cost account!”
”Ten thousand taels of silver for a jade stone. Along the way, the cost of people eating horses is one thousand taels. Then, there is the cost of five thousand taels of silver …” Then the price for this batch of jade stones should be 16,000 gold taels! ”
”In the future, I will have to calculate according to this cost!”
”We merchants have spent our money. Along the way, there are some escort masters and sentries protecting our safety. This is actually a kind of business! This has been going on for thousands of years, but it's actually pretty smooth … ”
”But I never thought that Yaqub's side would be so different!”
”Officials from other places, as well as soldiers, would all take money to help others get rid of their troubles. As long as you give them money, they would actually be very polite …” Because they're still looking forward to you coming back next year to do business, and they'll still have a bribe to take! ”
”But this group of rebel soldiers are simply a bunch of ignorant people who don't hold back their hands …” No bribes, no amount... They want to steal all your wealth and then capture you as a slave! ”
”Cough, cough, cough …” ”Cough, cough, cough …” The angry old shopkeeper coughed violently. He pointed to a young nephew and said, ”Cao Shuai … ”Tell me, can you help me reply to the general's words …”
The young nephew named Cao Shuai seemed to have read this book. After clasping his hands and bowing, he said in an orderly manner, ”General …” Marshal Zuo will win this battle, and it will be a wild victory! ”
”Yaqub seems to have great power, but he has long been depleted of his strength!”
Xu Zhanbiao looked at the thin young man's shining eyes with interest. ”Oh! ”Tell me about it...”
”Yes, my lord!” In this battle, Yaqub lost because he was going against the rules. When I was back home, I had read the Chief's《 Journey to the West》 and knew a bit about European affairs … ”
”Yaqub and the rest of the thugs were under the rule of terror … Their goal is to turn all the people in the territory into slaves! ”
”That's right, they are slaves … This is the fall of civilization! Uncle just said that even if the people of Central Plains are corrupt officials, they are reasonable. At the very least, he said corrupt officials! ”
”Take your bribe and I'll give you a job! Especially for merchants, a steady stream of bribes is much more important than killing a chicken to reap its eggs! ”
”We know that there are rivers and rivers that do not do things! They didn't say that they had eaten the merchants to death, but they did say that they had eaten it all! ”Even officials have to calculate how much money these merchants can earn …”
”Let the merchants protect the basic profits before thinking of a way to corrupt them!”
