Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

All the accounts from all parts of Zhao State, including Handan, were sent over, and the accounting was completed.

The stewards were trembling and gave a number that made Han Xuwei's heart sink to the bottom.

"Master, this month's sales are only [-]%!"

Forty to five to less than fifty percent!The moment Han Xu heard the news, he was so dizzy that he almost fainted on the spot.

Chapter 294 Is there a way to defeat Zhao Kuo?

Everyone in the room fell into a deathly silence.

Less than [-]% means that Han Xuwei has lost completely!Han Xuwei's heart was ashamed, his whole body seemed to have turned into a statue, and he just sat there quietly, without saying a word.

For the sales of these three months, Han Xuwei can be said to have done everything possible, buying and selling by force, forced by the government, and done everything in power-for-money transactions.

Han Xuwei also knew that he had done these things wrong, but he felt that as long as he could defeat Zhao Kuo, everything would be valuable!But now it's all in vain.

None of the people present had a good-looking expression. They and Han Xuwei were both grasshoppers on the same rope.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Why is the Lord so depressed?

In fact, there is one last way. "

Almost subconsciously, all eyes of the crowd were focused on the speaker.

This is the steward in charge of one of the four major stores in Handan City, and his name is Wang Chong.

Wang Chong was not hired at the beginning, but was promoted by Han Xuwei in the second month after the first month was extremely dismal.

In the past two months, the stores in charge of Wang Chong were all the ones with the best sales among the four major stores in Handan City.

In other words, this person is capable!Han Xuwei seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and immediately said: "What can you do?

Come on! "

However, Wang Chong was a little hesitant, and said: "I also ask the lord to forgive my crimes first, so that I dare to speak."

Han Xuwei took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, I will never hold you accountable for any crime!"

This guarantee under the watchful eyes of everyone obviously made Wang Chong relax a lot. He looked at the other stewards on the left and right.

Han Xuwei said lightly: "They are not outsiders, just say it."

It is true that these managers are businessmen, but the reason why they were able to be favored by Han Xuwei and appear here is of course because they had made a transaction with Han Xuwei that was enough to bind their interests, and these interests were so great that Han Xuwei You can count on their loyalty!Wang Chong seemed to understand Han Xuwei's thoughts, so he said solemnly in a slightly hoarse voice: "My lord, what I mean is actually very simple. Since we are only halfway short, then we only need to record the difference in the account book. Wouldn't it be able to make up for it with a little movement of hands and feet?"

It was quiet again.

Everyone looked at Wang Chong in shock, even Han Xuwei was no exception.

After a long while, Han Xuwei said, "Are you trying to make the old man falsify the account books?"

Wang Chong nodded seriously, and said, "Yes, my lord."

Han Xuwei was silent.

Another steward said: "But if the fraud is discovered, it will be a crime of deceiving the Queen Mother and the whole Great Zhao."

These words immediately put a heavy weight on everyone's hearts.

The Empress Dowager is now the de facto ruler of the Zhao Kingdom. To deceive the Empress Dowager is a crime of deceiving the emperor. It is a serious crime that will be beheaded for public display and will also affect the whole family!Wang Chong smiled wryly, and said, "Of course I know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, but if we want to win, do we have any other options?"

Han Xu was shocked.

Yeah, are there any other options?

A picture suddenly appeared in Han Xuwei's mind. It was Zhao Kuo looking at Han Xuwei with contempt in the court hall, and sarcastically taunting Han Xuwei.

"Grand Master, Ben Hou has long said that you are a waste, now you have finally woken up, right?"

With a bang, Han Xuwei slammed his fist on the table and said coldly, "That's it!"

Han Xuwei looked around at everyone present, and said calmly: "You are not allowed to leave the old man's mansion for these two days. You must make this account book perfect so that no one can see any flaws!"

There was an obvious warning in Han Xuwei's gaze, which made everyone lower their heads and had to agree.

To disagree is to die!Someone cautiously raised a question: "My lord, you need cash to enter the account. What should I do with the half of the cash?"

Han Xuwei gritted his teeth, and said, "Of course, this old half-cash man will find a way!"

Han Xuwei's plan is very simple, that is to take out all his family's property and fill in the half-cash hole!As for why not to fill in the net worth of these stewards, the reason is very simple, because all the net worth of these stewards have already been filled in.

Half a day later, a result that surprised Han Xu came again: "My lord, I have counted all the property, but after all the property is recorded, there is still a shortfall of 500 million yuan."

Han Xuwei was furious, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go and tell the concubines of the wife and the old man, let them take out all the money, jewels and jewelry, and put the money in the treasury immediately, and you also give the jewelry to me." The old man will sell it right away!" Finally, after two tense days, a brand new account book appeared in front of Han Xuwei.

According to this account book, Han Xuwei's sales exceeded 800%, and even more than [-] million yuan!Looking at the account book in front of him, Han Xuwei also heaved a sigh of relief, looked up at the group of stewards with extremely dark circles in front of him, and smiled for the first time.

"You are all meritorious ministers! Don't worry, your investment is not without return. As long as the ginseng channel falls into the hands of the old man in the future, your investment today will definitely earn back ten times or a hundred times in the future!"

Although Han Xuwei had always looked down on these businessmen, at this moment he had to admit that it was these businessmen who gave him hope of making a comeback.

Just in case, Han Xuwei asked his family's dead men to guard these stewards and put them all under house arrest in the mansion. Then he got into the carriage confidently and headed towards the palace.

This time, Zhao Kuo must suffer a big loss!Coincidentally, just as Han Xuwei got off the carriage before the palace, Zhao Kuo's carriage also arrived.

Zhao Kuo got off the carriage refreshed and said to Han Xuwei, "Grand Master, I'm afraid it's not a good day for you today."

Han Xuwei stared at Zhao Kuo, and said coldly: "Zhao Kuo, do you really think that you will be able to win with such a conspiracy?

We'll see! "

Zhao Kuo spread his hands and said with a smile: "Grand Master, I don't know what you are talking about.

But if it's a conspiracy, didn't you first propose that the state of ginseng targeted me? "

The eyes of the two collided, and the atmosphere was very intense.

Han Xuwei snorted heavily, ignored Zhao Kuo, and walked directly towards the palace.

Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, I will let you know how powerful this old man is later!

Chapter 295 Han Xuwei Won?

A quarter of an hour later, seven important ministers of Zhao State gathered in the hall.

The eyes of the other five people kept going back and forth between Zhao Kuo and Han Xuwei. Everyone knew that today was the arena for Zhao Kuo and Han Xuwei to confront.

However, this is not only related to Zhao Kuo and Han Xuwei, but also related to Ping Yuanjun and Lin Xiangru, the two giants in the political arena of Zhao State, and the ebb and flow between the official faction and the scholar faction. .

The figures of Queen Mother Zhao and King Zhao appeared.

Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have seen the queen mother, I have seen the king."

The Empress Dowager's expression today was also very serious, she nodded slowly: "Your Excellencies, sit down."

Everyone sat down one after another, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little dull for a while.

The queen mother coughed lightly, and directly broke the silence: "The ginseng state-owned matter caused a lot of controversy before, and it also made a bet between Wu Xinjun and the grand master.

Today, let the old woman and Zhu Qing see who is more capable of controlling ginseng. "

The queen mother was also quite agile, she came straight to the point when she came up, and everyone naturally echoed her.

The queen mother glanced at Han Xuwei and said, "Master, please come and report your results."

Han Xuwei took a deep breath, stood up, took out an account book from his sleeve, and read in a deep voice: "I report to the Queen Mother, in the past month, the four shops in Handan City sold a total of 210 three Ginseng, with a total price of 550 million yuan; Yecheng store sold a total of 27 pieces, with a total price of 320 million yuan; Zhongmucheng store "Listen, the others didn't know much about ginseng before. Zhao Guozhong ministers all showed surprised expressions.

They all knew that ginseng was very profitable, but they never expected to make money to this extent!Zhao Kuo's face was calm, with a faint smile on his face, and he kept looking at Han Xuwei quietly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

After reading for several minutes, Han Xuwei finally reached the end: "The combined sales of all 13 stores last month amounted to 820 yuan!"

After the number was uttered, the hall fell silent for a while.

The queen mother asked: "When Wu Xinjun was in charge of ginseng, how much was the monthly sales?"

Han Xuwei showed a smile on his face, and said: "Seven thousand nine million four hundred and ten thousand, can be counted as 940 million!"

When this number was reported, everyone gasped.

A monthly turnover of 8000 million?

This is simply money raining from the sky, right?

In this way, the money from selling ginseng alone can directly kill Zhao Guo's treasury's income in seconds.

Last year, Zhao Guo's treasury's annual income was only 9000 million yuan, which was less than the three-month turnover of the ginseng business.

Moreover, this is only the turnover of the ginseng business in Zhao country!But that's not really the point.

The point is that Han Xuwei's turnover of 800 million yuan has exceeded 8000% of the turnover of [-] million yuan!In other words, Han Xu won!Lin Xiangru showed a smile on his face and let out a long breath.

In order to help Han Xuwei, Lin Xiangru also made a lot of efforts in secret.

Now it seems that it's all worth it!On the other side, Mr. Pingyuan's face changed drastically, and his head was buzzing.

Lost?

This loss completely wiped out the ginseng channel.

For Mr. Pingyuan, it is an income comparable to a gold mine.

Mr. Pingyuan looked at Zhao Kuo with a bit of anger in his eyes.

Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, seeing you were so convincing before, this Marquis still thinks that you are sure to win, but is this how you respond to Ben Hou now?

All eyes were on Zhao Kuo.

The Empress Dowager's face also showed a gleam of joy, looked at Zhao Kuo, and said lightly: "Wu Xinjun, the turnover of the Grand Master has exceeded [-]%, what do you have to say?"

When the Queen Mother spoke, she was extremely happy in her heart.

As early as a long time ago, the Queen Mother wanted to see Zhao Kuo's deflated expression, and now it has finally become a reality!But what surprised the Queen Mother and everyone was that Zhao Kuo didn't show any disappointment at all, he was very calm, and even showed a smile.

Zhao Kuo stood up, cupped his hands towards the Queen Mother, and said: "Queen Mother, I have something to say, I wonder if it is okay?"

A smile flashed across the corner of the queen mother's mouth, and said: "Mr. Wu Xin, but it's okay to say."

The queen mother wanted to see how Zhao Kuo was dying.

The more Zhao Kuo struggled, the happier the Queen Mother was!Come on Wu Xinjun, rack your brains to argue, then get frustrated, and then be severely suppressed, scolded, and whipped by the old woman!Han Xuwei also looked at Zhao Kuo contemptuously, with the expression "Come on, keep struggling, let's see what you have to say" on his face.

Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and said, "Grand Master, can I show this account book in your hand?"

Han Xuwei's heart tightened slightly, but he smiled nonchalantly on his face: "Why, does Mr. Wu Xin think that the old man will actually cheat on the account books?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "That's right, this Marquis really thinks so."

There was a brief silence.

Then, Han Xuwei burst into laughter suddenly, leaning back and forth, out of breath.

After a while, Han Xuwei's laughter slowly stopped, and he looked at Zhao Kuo with a mocking expression on his face: "Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, can't you think that you have jumped the wall so desperately?"

Zhao Kuo's face remained unchanged, and he said very calmly: "If the Grand Master has no ghosts in his heart, then what's the matter with Ben Hou looking at the account book? Is it because the Grand Master is afraid that Ben Hou will see something wrong in this account book?" No?"

Han Xuwei's complexion changed, and he said angrily: "Every transaction on this account book has been successfully concluded, and there is nothing wrong with it, the old man is still afraid that you will fail?

take it! "

Under the gaze of everyone, Han Xuwei put the account book made of silk cloth in Zhao Kuo's hands.

Zhao Kuo took the account book and looked it up calmly.

Everyone in the hall locked their eyes on Zhao Kuo, wanting to see if Zhao Kuo could find out what was wrong.

Zhao Kuo didn't make everyone wait too long, and soon he finished reading and raised his head.

Han Xuwei said with a sneer: "Wu Xinjun, can you find any problems? I would like to wait for some advice."

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said, "I have indeed seen the problem. This account book is fake, and the real sales volume is less than [-]% at all."

After saying these words, the faces of everyone in the hall suddenly changed again.

Shock, doubt, and incomprehension, all emotions flooded in at once, flashing like lanterns on each face.

Han Xuwei laughed out loud again, his white beard trembling.

"Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, the joke you said is really too funny! But, do you know what kind of crime it is to slander Dazhao Zhongchen?"

The Queen Mother also frowned, and said coldly: "Mr. Wu Xin, you have to have evidence for what you say."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said, "Queen Mother, I do have evidence."
