The ultimate size wife system

Chapter 143 Salt Selling Right

Wang Xiang exclaimed: "One million taels! Mr. Li, are you serious?"

Obviously, he was also shocked by this number. You must know that the foreign enemies of the Great Song Dynasty are looking around, and most of the tax revenue for a year is spent on raising soldiers, so the military expenditure will never be insufficient.

And when Wang Xiang came to Suzhou this time, the total amount of military funds raised was only so much, but Li Fei had just asked for 100 million taels. How could he not be surprised, how unhappy!

Li Fei smiled and said, "Of course it's true. If I say I'll give you 100 million taels, I'll give you 100 million taels."

Anyway, he didn't care about money. The gold and silver treasures that Li Fei brought out from the ancient tomb were far more than this amount.Besides, the money was also paid by Mantuo Villa.Mantuo Villa was originally the largest household in Suzhou, and the money was inexhaustible.

What's more, Mantuo Villa belongs to the people of Song Dynasty, and it is good for Mantuo Villa to pay more money for Song Dynasty at this moment.

Mantuo Villa is now doing business, as long as some policies of Da Song are more inclined to Mantuo Villa, the money will be earned back soon.

Immediately, Li Fei said again: "President Wang, I gave you the money. Because now that the country is in crisis, under the so-called overthrow of the nest, how can there be any eggs? But you can't let me suffer too much, after all, 100 million Two is not a small number!"

With so much money, Wang Xiang was already smiling, and he said loudly: "If you have any requests, Mr. Li, just ask."

"As for the request, I dare not mention it. Wang Xiang should know that I did not pay the money. I came to negotiate with you on behalf of Mrs. Wang of Mantuo Villa. Originally, Mrs. Wang planned to give you 50 taels, but Now that the national crisis is at stake, I decided to double this number on my own, but Prime Minister Wang can't let Mantuo Villa suffer too much, right? Otherwise, Mrs. Wang and I can't explain it, after all, I am not the owner of Mantuo Villa! "

Li Fei's words did not fool Wang Xiang, although everything in Mantuo Villa was decided by Li Qingluo.Li Qingluo also has a heart like Li Fei.But after all, Mantuo Villa is strictly a general, and still belongs to the Wang family. Li Qingluo herself is not Wang, she is just the wife of the former patriarch of the Wang family.

When Li Fei received a letter from Feige before, when he knew about it, he used the letter from Feige to discuss it with her.Let her spend as much money as possible so that she can get on line with the current prime minister.

Since the night with Li Fei, Li Qingluo has regarded Li Fei as a support from the bottom of her heart, and has satisfied Li Fei's demands as much as possible.But if she spends too much money all at once, after all, she still has a reason to explain to the rest of the Wang family.

The Wang family is a big family. Her husband, who has been dead for decades, and many uncles are still alive. Li Qingluo must explain to these people where the money is going.

So she also sent a letter to Li Fei via Feige.It contains terms that are beneficial to Mantuo Villa and asked Li Fei to hand it over to Wang Xiang.

Li Qingluo helped her like this, so she couldn't harm her, right?

So although Li Fei really wanted to give money to Da Song to expand his army so that he could fight against Daliao in order to complete his last main mission.

But Li Fei still has to think about Mantuo Villa.

Li Fei put his hand into his bosom, took out the letter with the terms listed by Li Qingluo, and said to Wang Xiang: "Wang Xiang, these are some requirements of Mantuo Villa, take a look."

Wang Xiangye opened the letter and took a look.Frowning slightly, he said, "Mr. Li, these demands made by Mantuo Villa are very unfair to other businessmen."

"Wang Xiang, if I ask Mantuo Mountain Villa to take out 100 million taels at once, I am afraid that all other merchants in Suzhou will only have this amount. This is also very unfair to us. So you have to agree to all these. Although it is a national disaster now In the first place, we, as the people of the Song Dynasty, should do our part. But Wang Xiang, I, Li Fei, say something outrageous here. Even if the Song Dynasty perishes, the world will be replaced by Daliao. Daliao will not Dare to do anything to us businessmen."

"In other words, it doesn't matter whether it is Zhao who manages the country or the Khitan people who manage the country, it is the same for us businessmen! What do you think? In business and business, I am now representing Mantuo Villa and Wang. Negotiating with each other, of course, we must strive for more benefits for Mantuo Villa."

Wang Xiang held the letter in his hand and pondered for a while. In fact, to put it bluntly, the terms listed in this letter only need Wang Xiang to promulgate some new policies.It was an easy task for Wang Xiang, and it did not do much harm to the Song Dynasty itself.

These terms are just a bit unfair to other businessmen, but they are more beneficial to Manduo Villa.

Originally, in normal times, the king, as the person in power, was the prime minister of a country.He didn't want to see a Mantuo Mountain Villa dominate in Suzhou. As the prime minister, one of his tasks was to balance all the businessmen and try to avoid the problem of one family dominating.

But now is an extraordinary period. These terms are not too harmful to the Song court itself, and now it is most important to raise enough military expenditures to fight against the Daliao. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I promise you!"

"Clap clap..."

Li Fei clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Xiang Wang is really a straightforward person! But this is only a request of 50 taels from Mantuo Villa, and now I have increased it to 100 million taels without authorization. In order to explain to Mrs. Wang, I have to do it again Manduo Villa has won a small profit."

Wang Xiang said in a deep voice: "Small interests? Mr. Li, why not tell me, what are your small interests?" His heart is beating now. The terms Li Fei just listed are already very unfair to other businessmen. , I don't know what the "little benefit" that Li Fei announced will be!

Li Fei smiled and said: "50 taels is not a small amount for anyone. Now Mantuo Villa has an extra 50 taels of vain silver. Compared with this 50 taels of silver, I What I want to talk about is indeed a small benefit..."

"Hey. Mr. Li, just tell me, what do you want?"

"In a word, I want the right to sell salt!"

No matter where it is, no matter when it is, it is a necessity for the human body, and the right to sell salt has always been exclusive to the government. In the words of the 21st century, it is a state monopoly.

The profits here are so large that it is unimaginable, and it is the envy of all profit-seeking businessmen. Because of this, it breeds many people who take risks and cooperate with corrupt officials to sell private salt.

I don't know how many people have become rich because of selling illegal salt, and I don't know how many people have been imprisoned because of selling illegal salt.

Because the profits here are too amazing, generally speaking, it is impossible for the state to hand over the right to sell salt to private individuals.

Of course Wang Xiang also knew this, and immediately he shouted loudly: "No way! The right to sell salt is absolutely not allowed!"

Li Fei had already expected that Wang Xiang would not agree, he smiled and said: "Hehe, Wang Xiang, listen to me first before you think about it. Mantuo Villa only needs the right to sell private salt in Suzhou, and other places We, Mantuo Villa, will not interfere at all."

Wang Xiang said solemnly: "Even if I'm from Suzhou, I can't agree!"

The terms he agreed to Li Fei just now, because those terms did not involve the court's own interests, he would agree, but the question of salt, obviously competing with the court, how could he agree.

Li Fei said again: "Prince Wang, as far as I know, even if you don't agree to my condition, you can't stop the existence of private salt in Suzhou, and the entire city of Suzhou is flooded with private salt because of the existence of corrupt officials. The tax paid is not much. I will give you 100 million at once!"

"As long as you hand over the right to sell salt to me, Mantuo Mountain Villa will definitely pay more taxes for salt sales than the current court receives. In addition, I can also assure you that private transactions in Suzhou City will be prohibited within one month." Salt sales. Some things that the government is inconvenient to do, I can do at Mantuo Villa, don’t forget that I am at Mantuo Villa, I’m still a member of the martial arts... Some things are much more convenient than the government.”

Wang Xiang pondered, showing a look of embarrassment. Of course he knew the situation in Suzhou.

Because of the existence of corrupt officials, no matter how much private salt is banned, it will never stop. In Suzhou, Mantuo Villa is actually the first big private salt household, and the other big private salt households are similar to Mantuo Villa. They are all from martial arts. It is unrealistic for the government to control the people in the martial arts.

And this time, Mantuo Mountain Villa openly asked for the right to sell salt, and it was also for the convenience of being on the stage.

As long as you have the right to sell salt, not only will you no longer need to hide in the future, but also because you can sell it openly, you can also double the sales.

And once Mantuo Villa gets the right to sell salt, it will definitely crack down on other private salt dealers.

As Li Fei said, the absence of private salt is actually beneficial to the court.In fact, he wanted to agree to what Li Fei said.It's just that, as a prime minister, it's not easy for him to agree to the unprecedented thing of handing over the right to sell salt to a private person.

He said with embarrassment: "Mr. Li, I know what you said. It's just that I really can't agree to your request. It must be approved by the emperor. Moreover, once this precedent is set, don't be afraid of it in the future." If there is any big power in the locality who wants the right to sell salt, it will be very difficult for the imperial court to shirk it!"

Li Fei said with a smile: "Hehe, there is no need to be embarrassed. If I tell you that the emperor of Dali is my brother-in-law, I can guarantee that Dali will help when the Daliao invades the Song Dynasty. Can you have capital?" , went to make this request with the emperor?"

If Daliao really wiped out Dal Song, it would not be a good thing for Dali.Duan Yu knows this kind of truth.At that time, I will tell Duan Yu again, under such circumstances, Dali will definitely join the war.This is another trump card for Li Fei to have the right to sell salt, and it is also a trump card that other forces in other places cannot have.
