Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 22 Bargaining
The passage of time is always an irreversible thing.

The winter in Yunzhou County is very cold, and it is much longer than that in Guannei.

But the time has come to the last few days of the year.

Since the beginning of winter, the battle between Feiyun Commercial Bank and the Li family has gradually subsided over time.

Coal stoves and coal cotton jackets were quietly sold in Li's shop.

However, the shop of Feiyun Commercial Bank sold a material that surprised all the herdsmen.

Tea!
Not to mention top-quality famous teas such as Longjing, Yunzhongque, and Tianyahai from areas with abundant rainfall in Guannei, these are also beyond the reach of ordinary herdsmen.

What surprised the herdsmen the most was the tea bricks sold in large quantities in the store, the price is not high, and the quantity is large.

A sheep can be replaced with a whole piece of tea brick, which saves enough to drink enough for a family for a month.

These tea bricks are actually made of tea dregs. If they are placed in the pass, even the tea shops on the street will not sell the water made with this kind of tea, and they will be smashed by customers.

But in Yunzhou County, or for the grassland area, this is it!
It's already a good thing that can't be bought.

Due to the living habits of other nomadic peoples in Yunzhou County and the border, the herdsmen mostly rely on dairy products and meat as their staple food.

And this also leads to a problem, that is, it will be very greasy, and the herdsmen also lack some necessary vitamins and trace elements because of the single diet. In this way, it will lead to various diseases over time , Many people die from this on the grassland every year.

And tea can not only relieve greasy, but also just make up for the lack of these vitamins and trace elements.

There is a saying on the prairie.

It is better to go without food for a day than without tea for a day.

However, the reality is that the scarcity of tea is extremely serious on the grasslands.

After Yunzhou County was attached to the Song Dynasty, the imperial court issued tea invitations from Yunzhou County to merchants.

However, a certain amount has been set, which is enough for the people in Yunzhou County according to the plan.

But in the actual process, most of the tea that arrived in Yunzhou County went into the hands of the upper-level figures of the tribe, and what's more, it went further north under the operation of the four major families.

This also led to the extreme shortage of tea in Yunzhou County.

The shop of Feiyun Commercial Bank was immediately full when it started selling tea bricks on the first day!

The herdsmen are afraid that the quantity is limited, and those with wealthy families even push carts to buy them at home, and the cattle and sheep they bring can't be seen at a glance.

Although Feiyun Commercial Bank has enough inventory, it can't help but grab enough. It will take time to transport it to Yunzhou County.

Therefore, in order to allow most herdsmen to buy tea bricks, Feiyun Commercial Bank implemented a purchase restriction policy.

Based on the household registration certificate, each household registration certificate can only buy one tea brick weighing one catty, but there is no limit to the grade of the tea brick.

As soon as the purchase restriction order came out, those herdsmen with wealthy families were naturally disappointed, but most of the other ordinary herdsmen were ecstatic, and hurried home to bring the family's household registration certificates.

They scrambled to buy tea bricks. Those who were rich bought tea bricks made of good tea, and those who were not rich bought tea bricks made of the most common tea dregs.

Everyone was very satisfied. As for the leaders of the big tribes who received the news, they directly asked their subordinates to come over with a lot of gold and silver and wiped out the best tea leaves.

As a result, on the first day the tea was sold, Feiyun Commercial Bank had to close early. The goods sold out too fast, and the inventory was empty before dark.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

This lasted for nearly a week, and the worries in the hearts of the herdsmen were gradually let go. Everyone finally believed that the tea supply of Feiyun Commercial Bank would be very sufficient, and there was no longer any need to worry about the issue of tea supply being cut off.

In this way, the daily tea sales of Feiyun Commercial Bank can be regarded as returning to normal.

Feiyun Commercial Bank and the Li family stopped fighting, and Feiyun Commercial Bank even changed their business directly, and the other three companies in Yunzhou City soon knew about it.

At first they thought it was Nanyang Li's family who helped out, so Feiyun Trading Co., Ltd. retreated and changed their careers.

But what they didn't expect was that the main branch of the Li family in Nanyang didn't know what happened here at all, and they were still facing the pressure of Feiyun Commercial Bank at this moment, and they were burnt out. How could they care about a family like Yunzhou City? The city where the branch is located.

When the lights came on, most of the city in Yunzhou County was plunged into darkness late at night.

Only Nancheng District, due to the concentration of shops, has become a rare all-night place in Yunzhou City.

Yunke Building.

"Hahahaha, everyone, please drink this cup to the full!"

"If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!"

"It's been a year of hard work, and it will be another New Year's Eve soon. I wish you all continued prosperity next year! Hahahaha! Come! Drink!"

A piece of light is staggered, pushing the cup to change the cup.

All the big and small family forces in Yunzhou City came here today.

Since the aristocratic family settled in Yunzhou City, over time, on the penultimate day of each year, these family forces who migrated from outside will gather together.

For one thing, it was approaching New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Eve, each family had their own affairs, so why not do it the day before.

Secondly, it is also to communicate with the various family forces in the entire Yunzhou County. In the new year, everyone will divide their own spheres of influence so as not to hurt harmony.

Many businesses are even negotiated on this day, and most of the business trends of Yunzhou City in the coming year will be decided today.

Therefore, for the family forces in Yunzhou City, it is necessary to come today, otherwise, let alone the issue of whether they fit in or not, just say that there are so few special news, and the whole family will lag behind others in doing things in the next year .

The entire Yunkelou was booked out today, and it was full of guests.

Among them, the best location in the entire Yunke Building, sitting on the big round table in the center of the third floor is naturally the four major Yunzhou families who control the four important trade channels of the entire Yunzhou City.

Chen, Li, Wang, and Sun.

These four families are also the four largest family forces in the entire Yunzhou City.

Compared with the warm atmosphere of the middle and low-level families on the first and second floors, this year's four families are a bit silent.

The Patriarch of the Li family, Li Xuanji, drank the wine in his cup one cup after another, without even looking at the other three.

The three wanted to strike up a conversation, but for a while they didn't know what to say.

But the atmosphere can't just be so stiff.

So, after a while, Chen Lixin, the Patriarch of the Chen family, coughed lightly twice, attracting the attention of everyone on the table, seeing that Li Xuanji's eyes were also attracted, he straightened up and put on his face full of emotions. He smiled and asked: "Hahaha, I haven't seen Brother Li for a long time, and the business of Li's shop is booming recently!
It will be the new year soon, Chen wishes Brother Li to continue to make a lot of money next year! "

"Lend your auspicious words!"

Li Xuanji withdrew his gaze, casually raised his hand to give Chen Lixin a bow, and then started drinking on his own, as if he was not very familiar with the other three people at the table.

Now the three of them felt a little overwhelmed.

In the end, Sun Xingzhou, who was the most irritable, said loudly:
"Hey, I said Lao Li, you can do it, don't you blame us for not helping you when you are in trouble?

However, how did you ask us to help in that situation?Even those reckless men who only know knives are being manipulated to death. Even if we go together, people may not take us seriously.

Don't you think it's not good now?
It's always those main veins with great powers, and once they make a move, the people behind the Feiyun Commercial Bank will honestly return the business to your own hands.

It's all old friends, and you are such a grown-up person, how do we need to talk about how the world works?
Let me tell you, since this matter is over, then don't take it to heart, isn't it enough for the four of us to continue earning money peacefully in Yunzhou County? "

Sun Xingzhou's words touched the hearts of the other two, and they all nodded in agreement.

Hearing the words, Li Xuanji slowly put down the wine glass, looked up at the three of them, and then slowly rubbed the wine glass in his hand with one hand on the table and said slowly:

"I, Lao Li, have lived for more than 40 years. I understand what you say. The four of us are in harmony at best. At worst, it's just mutual compromise. Things in this world are always ruled by the weak. Not long ago, you didn’t dare to intervene in the matter between my Li family and Feiyun Commercial Bank, and I can understand if you don’t want to get involved.”

"Hey, isn't it! Isn't this the way of the world? It's good to understand, it's good to understand!"

The other three quickly responded with a smile.

Li Xuanji didn't smile, but just looked at the three of them coldly, and the three who were looking at them gradually suppressed the smiles on their faces, then continued to turn the cup in their hands and said in a deep voice:

"Although I can understand it, my heart is just so uncomfortable.

After all, there is a gap between us!
You all know the situation in Yunzhou City now. The imperial court directly sent a prince to rule over us. He is always waiting to overthrow our four families. Now our four families are separated. This is not a good thing. "

The other three understood now that this good fellow came to seek benefits.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Just like what Li Xuanji said, the current situation in Yunzhou City requires the four families to work together, but their previous actions have added some knots to the four families, which is unfavorable and needs to be erased.

They were worried about Li Xuanji's brain before, not because of this matter, but now it seems that Li Xuanji still has the upper hand after all, knowing that instead of being sullen, it is better to point out some real benefits.

It's okay to want benefits, but I'm afraid you don't want benefits, benefits can be discussed, as long as both parties are satisfied in the end, there will be no problem.

Li Xuanji quickly raised his request.

"My Li family will account for [-]% more of the customs clearance share next year!"

Li Xuanji gave his initial price.

However, Chen Lixin and the others immediately raised the price: "Old Li, don't be too greedy, how much of this [-]% share can you take? Half of it at most!"

"Twenty percent!"

"Seven points!"
