From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68

Looking at the map that Zhao Tai took out, a circle was conspicuously drawn on it.

However, what Zhen Yao cares about is not the map itself, but the paper on which the map is drawn.

The thinness and delicateness of the paper was something he had never seen in his life.

Caihouzhi Zhenyao knew that he had obtained one or two sheets to use, but he regarded them as treasures and hadn't used them until now, even if they were stained with a little ink.

"Zhao Zhuangzhu's picture is very exquisite, and the paper is rare in the world. I don't know if Zhao Zhuangzhu still has this kind of paper. A piece of paper is willing to guarantee the reputation of the Zhen family, and a hundred stones of black gold will be exchanged for it."

He didn't ask Zhao Tai where this picture came from, and why he knew exactly where the black gold mine was.

Although curious, it is not as important as paper.

Zhao Tai looked at Zhen Yao's eager eyes, but he didn't agree as his thoughts flashed.

Zhao Tai understands the truth that what is rare is the most valuable. The more you hang on to the other party, the more the other party will scratch their heads, and the corresponding quotation will be higher and higher.

"To be honest, Tai still has the paper, but it is precious and rare, and Tai has never thought of replacing it."

"It's Yao's abruptness. It's a pity that you can't get it if you encounter a treasure."

Zhen Yao's words were full of regret, and then he put the map away with great care, for fear of bumping into it.

Zhao Tai's expression remained unchanged, and he did not feel the discomfort at all after opening his eyes and telling lies.

He has a lot of paper, and he can't even use it up no matter how much he squanders.

But as long as you know this kind of thing yourself, how can you tell it to the outside world? It's not so easy to talk about the price.

The map is actually a little blurry, only the location of the coal mines will be more detailed.

He not only wanted to use the Zhen family's hands to dig and transport the ore for him.

What's more, he wants to let the other party know that he has paper in his hand, so that the paper business will not seem abrupt when he talks about it.

There is nothing more pleasurable than having someone else do the work for him when he gets a benefit. If so, it would be someone giving him something for free.

After negotiating the price and having the coal mine map provided by Zhao Tai, it was time for Zhen Yao to discuss the conditions.

"Vendor Zhao has the spices, and has solved the problem of the black gold mine."

"Yao deeply appreciates the kindness of the owner of the village, but when it comes to business, the Zhen family needs more than two or three kilograms of spices. Since it is a business deal, the owner of the village needs Zhao to supply ten kilograms of goods in the rest of the month."

To provide ten catties of spices a month is already a large amount in Zhen Yao's opinion.

The Zhen family obviously doesn't like small fights. It's a pity to throw away the tasteless food. The ten catties is also the result of the internal discussion of the Zhen family.

He was also worried that Zhao Tai didn't have that much, and was ready to reduce the quantity. If he didn't have ten pounds, he could accept seven or eight pounds.

When it came to the supply quantity, Zhao Tai thought that the Zhen family's appetite was huge, but he felt that this was the end of it.

However, there are few spices and high value. Ten pounds is already a lot in the eyes of businessmen of this era.

Take the shipment of spices from Tai'an Trading Company during this period as an example, it was only more than a hundred catties.

It is true to rob, and it is true to sell quickly, but for those big and small forces, they have already emptied their wealth, and there are many people who sell their houses and land to grab goods.

Little things add up, and it only took a few days to make such a small amount, but the Zhen family was attracted here.

I don't know if the Zhen family misjudged Zhao Tai's strength because they thought that Zhao Tai had shipped too much before and couldn't produce too much spice, or if it was for some other reason.

In short, the Zhen family only needs ten kilograms for one use, and Zhao Tai is not satisfied.

If your Zhen family doesn’t want to make a fuss, how can I, Zhao Tai, do it?

"Gao Jin's remarks are hard for Tai to handle. Ten kilograms of spices in one month is hard for Tai to accept."

"How about ten pounds a day?"

Zhen Yao was a little disappointed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when the second half came out, he thought Zhao Tai had made a mistake.

"Zhao Zhuang is wrong in what he said?"

"It's accurate, I don't know if Gao Jin will take ten catties a day?"

Zhen Yao was stunned. How could there be so many spices and someone could actually take out ten pounds a day? This had a huge impact on Zhen Yao.

"Yes, why don't you dare to answer, don't say ten catties a day, even a hundred catties, my Zhen family can change it."

"Okay, then a hundred catties a day."

A second ago, Zhen Yao was delighted with the ten kilograms of spices a day, feeling like he could make a lot of money.

As a result, Zhao Tai just said it casually, and directly mentioned ten catties to one hundred catties.

Zhen Yao was speechless and stayed in his seat as if struck by lightning, unable to speak a word.

"That, that's it, very good, very good."

He was completely numb. He never imagined that the Zhen family, one of the wealthy merchants of the Han Dynasty, would one day be thrown with money so that it would be difficult for them to speak.

This Zhao Tai, how could he be so arrogant?

When Zhen Yao made a contract with Zhao Tai and walked out of the manor after reaching an agreement, he was in a daze.

There is a feeling that the vastness of the world is all illusory.

It wasn't until the cold wind blew and took out the agreement and compared it carefully that I realized that all this was not a dream.

"Hey~~~"

Zhen Yao took a deep breath, his whole body trembled, and his mind instantly came to his senses.

"Quickly go back to Wuji, the opportunity for my Zhen family's rise is here."

He never doubted that Zhao Tai would lie to him. After all, there was no benefit in lying to him, and there was even less benefit in offending the Zhen family.

One hundred catties of spices a day, I am afraid that the merchants of the entire Han Dynasty would not be able to get them together.

The Zhen family can do this, even though it was obtained from Zhao Tai, but to the entire Zhen family, it is of inestimable value.

On the city wall, Zhao Tai couldn't help chuckling as he looked at the direction in which Zhen Yao and his party were leaving.

"This Tai'an Trading Company is still too small. I'm waiting for the day when your Zhen family joins us."

Do business with the Zhen family?Everyone gets what they need?

No, Zhao Tai is not only doing business, but also has his eye on the entire Zhen family.

Zhao Tai walked down the city wall, and sent out the things that had been ignored before.

The era of big pot meals is over, and from now on, you have to pay for what you want to get.

Moreover, salaries at all levels have also been improved.

This is considered a major reform, but there is almost no resistance, and there are not many benefits if there is little influence. Just like now, it will not affect the whole body.

Maybe there will even be troubles if it is not done well. Now is the most suitable time to set the system.

For this reason, Zhao Tai also assigned a position of household finance manager to take charge of the financial revenue and expenditure under Zhao Tai's management, and personnel registration and bookkeeping.

That is to say, the household department of the three-province and six-department system is the same as Xia Houlan, the criminal law officer.

The five departments of Gong, Hu, Bing, Xing, and Li have been established and started to be used.

Only the Ministry of Officials has not yet been set up, and Zhao Tai himself has no official status, so the Ministry of Officials has been put on hold for the time being.

The issue of the promotion and promotion of personnel in various ministries should first be handled by each ministries themselves.

Although there is a household financial management department, Zhao Tai didn't send anyone to take charge of it, but let Wang Cui lead someone to take care of it.

There is no formal appointment, but he is in charge of affairs. If Wang Cui does well, he has this ability.

Zhao Tai didn't mind pushing her to be in charge.

What is cultivating talents? Those who are capable are talents, regardless of gender or family background.

And during this period of time, the news that Zhao Tai had reached a deal with the Zhen family did not know when it got out.

It attracted the attention of some caring people, such as the prefect of Changshan County, and Chu Yan, who is starting a business.
