Back Off, Let Me Come

Shen Tang looked at Xu Jie suspiciously and waited for the answer.

Xu Jie looked at her with a subtle expression, only writing the words "Jun Shen, are you asking questions knowingly?" written on his face.

Shen Tang: "???"

She didn't give Xu Jie an spy to monitor him.

Why did I "ask questions knowingly"?

Xu Jie saw that the confusion in Shen Tang's eyes did not seem to be fake. His facial muscles twitched strangely and stiffly a few times, and he said unnaturally: "Ahem, cough, cough, because Shangnan and Yiru have very strict control over alcohol, so no permission is allowed." Selling is not allowed, and you cannot enter these two places through normal ways, so...well, you will inevitably have to use some, some special means to avoid..."

Shen Tang was confused.

"Special means of evasion? Could it be a private trafficker?"

The so-called "smuggling" is smuggling.

According to Xu Jie's explanation, the liquor business rights in Shangnan and Yiru are strictly controlled, making it difficult for private merchants to obtain them. If they want to enter this market, they can only smuggle illegally. But smuggling does not mean smuggling fifty altars into two hundred altars.

Xu Jie was not answering the question.

"It's a privateer."

It also saves on high city taxes and liquor taxes.

"How come fifty jars are smuggled into 200 jars? The big jars are changed into small jars? This makes it easier for smugglers to sneak into the two places in small pieces, and it is not easy to be discovered..." She said, and she was not so angry. "It's been a hard journey."

Xu Jie: "..."

Lord, your "Tangdi acquaintance" robbed you of your words!

He forced himself to ignore the urge to complain.

He smiled dryly: "It's not just about changing the size of the wine jar."

Shen Tang: "???"

This is a lot of information!

Good guy, she calls herself a "profiteer", but her feelings are still too naive and simple! The expansion of the fifty jars to two hundred jars not only changed the size of the wine jar, but also added water to it?

Pooh!

Is this water mixed with bar?

While sighing, Shen Tang's smile froze.

Xu Jie bit the bullet and used his brain.

Trying to make amends for his lord and himself.

"Shen Jun, please don't be angry. My lord has done this after careful consideration. It is really for the sake of the overall situation. Shen Jun, please think that the effect of the spiritual wine you brewed by yourself is too obvious. Once it is sold to places other than Tianhai and Heyin, it will definitely Attracting countless overt or covert coveters. But appropriately weakening the effectiveness of the spirit wine will be beneficial and harmless to both Lord Shen and our Lord..."

This is not because he is a profiteer.

The idea came from your "Tangdi acquaintance".

Xu Wenzhu has nothing to do with him.

He does business in a serious and orderly manner, and has never deliberately looked for "reasonable tax avoidance" to cause trouble for those in power.

Speaking of this, the conversation that day came to mind.

Xu Jie was shocked: [Add water to the wine? 】

Wu Xian relied on his pen to read a book, leisurely turned a page, and asked with a smile: "What else?" How much money can you make from just fifty jars of wine? This is like throwing a pebble into a river or sea. How big can the splash be? Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing probably didn't notice this. In the wine business, isn't it always a mixture of 70% wine and 30% water? 】

Xu Jie's expression was speechless, and he whispered: "How come others don't know, but Xie has never done this before..."

Wu Xian smiled and spoke frankly.

[You are not asked to sell wine mixed with water in Tianhai, but in Shangnan and Yiru. Furthermore, making wine consumes grain. Wouldn’t adding two more jars of wine save two jars of grain? Even if it is mixed with water, the taste is just a little lighter, the effect is weakened, and people who are good or bad can't taste it. What do the annotators think? 】

Xu Jie: […]

He just wanted to ask if this could be heard in broad daylight?

Why do the Lord and Shen Jun, the two leaders of big and small forces, always want to instill in him "Guidelines for cultivating profiteers"?

One taught him how to avoid taxes reasonably, and the other taught him how to cheat... Xu Jiexin and the two of them were close friends.

Completely half-brothers!

Xu Jie: [But on Jun Shen’s side...]

Doesn’t this ruin the brand’s spiritual wine brand?

Wu Xian chuckled - there is no shame in making a fortune in silence! Shen Tang's Spiritual Wine sign really dared to be displayed openly and openly. He showed the sign in the morning, the enemy attacked at noon, and the people were buried in the evening.

Xu Jie couldn't resist his lord's determination to harvest millet Yi and Zhang Yongqing's leeks, and finally entered the black liquor market in both places with the "medium version of spirit wine" mixed with water.

However, Xu Jie didn't know that after the second-hand dealers changed hands, these wines would also be derived from "low-end version of spiritual wine".

In short, it is to dilute Qisan again on the basis of dilution of Qisan_(:з)∠)_

As for reasonable tax avoidance...

Xu Jie also made it clear to Wu Xian.

I just didn't tell him Shen Tang's divisive words about "it's better for others to have it than for me" and "if you stock up on grain but not on guns, your home will be a granary; if you don't stock guns on grain, everything will be a granary". Xu Jie knew what to say and what not to say.

Once told, Xu Jie can guarantee that he will always stand on Wu Xian's side, but will Wu Xian always believe it?

This test of trust can be done as little as possible.

Wu Xian listened with great interest, and was even so shocked that he almost couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He slapped the table and shouted the word "wonderful", wishing that Shen Tang, who had come up with such a cunning tax avoidance method, would become his confidant. If this guy becomes a merchant, he might be revered as the Patriarch in future generations!

Xu Jie: […]

He felt that his master was really abnormal.

Wu Xian also realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly showed his serious face and said in a deep voice: [Shen Youli made this request because he went too far last time and caused dissatisfaction. This time I will settle the matter again, just give me some more benefits, and let the matter go lightly. 】

Apologize while drinking, just pretend that nothing happened.

Wu Xian's eyes moved around with a guilty conscience.

I also feel that I went too far when I tricked Shen Tang last time. I packed up the old cattle and replaced farm tools to clear the inventory. Fortunately, the seedlings and grains were not mixed with water, otherwise Shen Tang would have flipped the table over in anger and raised his sword to kill him.

Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

I am glad that I will have an explanation for Shen Tang next time I see him again.

otherwise--

He probably entered the Fugu vertically and came out horizontally.

Xu Jie came back to his senses from the memories.

Shen Tang was still shocked by Wu Xian's sexy behavior.

He said with a sigh: "It would be a pity that Brother Zhaode doesn't go into business."

What a good profiteer seedling.

It is so self-righteous to fake and adulterate.

What else can Xu Jie do?

Naturally, it’s embarrassing to accompany the laughter.

Who let this be the lord he chose?

At the same time, the "low-mix version of spiritual wine" diluted twice with 73 was also quietly spread in Shangnan and Yiru.

The second dealer was also smart. He grasped the supply of goods tightly and shipped out bit by bit, making a lot of money.

The corners of his mouth were grinning to his earlobes.

The lowest price for a jar of wine is fifty taels.

That's it, it's hard to find.

Although Shangnan and Yiru have strict control over liquor and there are very few liquor shops with operating licenses, the market is too big for these liquor shops to capture. In addition, under the management of Gu Ren and Zhang He, people's livelihood in the two places is relatively stable and prosperous, and wine is not a "luxury" that cannot be afforded. As long as there is a market and profit is available, there will definitely be people who take risks.

This law applies at all times.

Smuggling is also serious in both places.

The protective umbrella of smugglers is the local famous and well-connected families. If you say hello secretly, these guys with constant interests will turn a blind eye and cover each other to make some "extra money". Hello. Hello everyone.

Gu Ren knew that the "low-mix version of spiritual wine" was a banquet after a long time, and at that time he thought the wine tasted good.

_(:з)∠)_

"Ji Shou, I just don't understand. Isn't Wu Zhaode afraid of getting angry and being exposed and beaten?" After Xu Jie left, Shen Tang thought about it and felt that he couldn't worry about this alone, so he asked someone to come over and share it with him. ".

Kang Shi was indeed a little surprised when he first heard Wu Xian's profiteer behavior. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew why.

The wines in this world are not very strong in taste, and even the daughter of a boudoir who is not good at drinking can drink a few bottles.

But the wine that Shen Tang made with Yan Ling 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 corners of Shen Tang's mouth twitched: "..."

Sure enough, I am not cunning enough!

"Should we also enter the two markets?"

Shen Tang learned from the pain.

Kang Shi: "...what do you mean, lord?"

Shen Tang gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "We are not the leeks in Wu Zhaode's yard, letting others cut them how they want. Why should Wu Zhaode, a black-hearted profiteer, get the bulk of our shipments? No, we must rise up and resist!"

Say no to Wu Zhaode’s tyranny!

Kang Shi frowned: "Isn't this exposed?"

Shen Tang felt that his IQ was underestimated: "Who said we should use our own banner? Who would be stupid enough to use real names to commit crimes as a smuggler? Isn't this a disco in the minefield of Gu Ziyi and Zhang Yongqing? We can take a roundabout way, Be polite!"

Kang Shi asked Shen Tang directly for the answer.

"How to be roundabout and tactful?"

After all, he is not a profiteer.

He couldn't keep up with his master's pace.

Shen Tang said loudly: "Shanzhai!"

Kang Shi was confused: "Copycat?"

Shen Tang added: "OEM can also be used!"

Kang Shi: "OEM?"

These two are all unfamiliar words.

As for the strange and confusing words that pop up in the mouth of my lord from time to time, they are all labeled as "slang slang in the lord's hometown dialect". He didn't need to know the origin of these words, he just needed to know what they meant.

Shen Tang patiently explained to him: "That's right! Xu Wenzhu has opened markets in Shangnan and Yiru. The supply of spiritual wine must be in short supply. We just need to follow him and smuggle the water mixed with wine secretly. Go in and pretend to be the source of the goods in Xu Jie's hands, or simply pretend to be a member of Xu Wenzhu's family. This batch of goods was secretly stolen by us behind Xu Wenzhu's back..."

She's not greedy either.

Xu Wenzhu is not sold at such a high price.

If you are eager to get rid of it, half is fine.

Shen Tang: "If this road doesn't work, let's say that this wine was smuggled in from other countries. The effect is similar to that of spiritual wine. It can be regarded as a substitute for spiritual wine. It is high-quality and cheap. Although the effect is not as good as others, it is better. Cheap and plentiful!”

She patted Kang Shi on the shoulder.

Smiling treacherously.

Kangshi: "...This method...is very good, very good."

The Lord also complained to him that Wu Zhaode was a profiteer.

She herself is no less willing to give in!

Shen Tang also lamented hypocritically: "People always have to be forced to know that they have such potential in business, eh——"

She and Wu Zhaode probably clicked on the wrong skill points.

Shen Tang is a hot-tempered person who does what he says.

I am afraid that I will lose money if I am too late.

Alas, there is no way, I am afraid of being poor.

Shen Tang was very interested in studying how to mix wine into the water, and what proportion would prevent the enemy from tasting it - but Gong Shuwu, who was trying the wine, drank a lot of water.

When Shen Tang of Heyin Fugu came up with an idea, the wine market in Shangnan and Yiru began to boom.

_(:з)∠)_

Time flies and another twenty days pass.

The weather is also starting to gradually warm up.

The warm spring breeze blows on the face, and new leaves sprout on the treetops.

The clothes of the common people working on the construction site are no longer bulky.

After a winter day, the numbness and dullness of the past are rarely seen on the face. Instead, there is a smile from the heart, and the expectation for the future surges in the eyes.

It was on such an ordinary day that Bai Su, who was always low-key and ordinary, made a breakthrough! ! !

Yes, the courage is achieved!

She wasn't even the first to notice this.

On this day, Bai Su got up early as usual to warm up for sword dancing.

From dark to bright.

I practiced until my whole body was hot and my arms were sore before I stopped.

She is used to practicing in secluded places. A quiet environment can make her focus more, but today it is slightly different. An unexpected person came to the wasteland where she had always been alone.

When Bai Su saw this person, he sheathed his sword and cupped his fists.

"Leader Gongshu."

She is now under Gong Shuwu's tent, and is considered a soldier. She spends most of her time learning formations from Zhao Feng...

"Why are you here?"

Gong Shuwu asked her: "Do you feel something is wrong?"

Bai Su was stunned: "No."

Gong Shuwu pointed to the sun in the sky.

"Four hours."

He's here to find someone.

Bai Su always goes to work on time on weekdays.

But today, no one has been seen, and no one has seen her after asking around. Gong Shuwu was worried that she would encounter dangers that he could not handle as a foreigner, so he followed her and found her.

When Bai Su's practice came to an end, his heart dropped.

Bai Su was puzzled at first, but he looked up as Gong Shuwu pointed and was surprised to find that the sun was in the wrong position.

She actually indulged in practicing for four full hours!

This is almost impossible to happen!

Her former profession was a snitch.

The time is always precise.

Only then did he realize that Gong Shuwu was here to find him, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed for letting Gong Shuwu make such a trip, but at the same time, he also murmured in his heart - how could he make such a mistake?

She only felt that she was in better condition than ever in the morning, which was reflected in the fact that her body was lighter, as if the invisible restraints on her were loosened a lot, and her sword was more powerful. In the past, she could use one sword, but now she could use three... The moves that I thought were obscure are now as smooth as clouds and flowing water, and you can pick them up at your fingertips...

Bai Su blinked.

Later I realized that my vision was not right either.

There was such a long distance between her and Gong Shuwu. In the past, she could only see clearly what his face looked like, but now she could see at a glance the tiny fuzz on his face and the slight rise and fall of his chest.

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 emerged in her heart that made her blood surge with excitement. Could it be her——

Gong Shuwu chuckled clearly in his ears.

Although she was far away, she could hear clearly.

"Congratulations, Bai Su, a low-ranking official."
