He asked the boss: "How much is a piece of silk?"

"For the returnees, a piece of silk costs 600 Wen. How much do you need?"

"I'm just asking, excuse me."

After Qin Hui came out with his people, he said to Liu Shuming, "The prices in the capital city are actually the same as those in the capital?"

Liu Shuming said: "After the armistice, the army needs less food, and the road consumption has also decreased. More merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are also willing to transport food, which is profitable."

"What about silk?"

"The supply of silk was beyond the expectations of the lower officials. Jiangnan merchants sent boat after boat of silk here, some of which were intended to be sold to Jinren." Liu Shuming said truthfully.

"Why has the price of silk dropped so much?"

You know, items such as silk used to start with one stock, but now they only sell for 600 Wen.

Liu Shuming said: "The imperial government's policy of changing rice to mulberry in the Jiangdong area in the past few years has had an effect. The price of silk cloth has dropped significantly since this year."

Qin Hui naturally knew that changing rice to mulberry would be effective, but he did not expect that the effect would extend to the city of Duli.

It seems that a large number of rich people are being born in the Jiangnan area!

Thinking of this, Qin Hui became more wary of Qian Yuqing.

At noon, Liu Shuming set up a banquet to welcome Qin Hui.

Officials from all walks of life toasted Qin Hui one after another, and the atmosphere was joyful.

After drinking for three rounds, Qin Hui settled down in one of the most prosperous houses in the capital city.

After the lunch break, the people below said: "Qin Xianggong, there is a merchant named Lu Qingliu outside who claims to be your friend."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

After receiving the summons, Lu Qingliu tidied up her clothes and walked in with the attendants.

He thought to himself, this matter is really difficult to handle now.

Gao Qiu was pressing hard, wanting to catch Qin Hui.

But I have been doing business under Qin Hui for many years, if I didn't bring down Qin Hui and was caught by Qin Hui for making small moves, I would really die without a place to die.

However, Lu Qingliu suddenly remembered that he was caught buying land by Zhao Guan's family on Jinghu North Road before, and the lives of his whole family were in the hands of Zhao Guan's family.

Over the years, Gao Lian has supported him a lot behind his back.

But Qin Hui also took a lot from there!

The sea breeze in the early autumn of Liaodong is refreshing, the autumn sun in the afternoon is clean and comfortable, and there are faint noises of street crowds outside.

Lu Qingliu felt a little uneasy in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be calm.

Chapter 1171 Catch Han Shizhong's handle (second update)

Soon, he saw Qin Hui who was drinking tea in the back garden.

Qin Hui was sitting under a big tree, on one side was a young girl caressing the strings of the qin, and the melody of the qin was flowing from the strings like flowing water.

Lu Qingliu speeded up and walked over in small steps, and said respectfully: "Cao Min see Qin Xianggong."

"Here you come, sit, sit and talk."

"Thank you Mr. Qin."

Qin Hui waved to the person next to him, and the young girl hugged the zither, saluted, and was taken down by the servants.

Everyone around also left.

Qin Hui was still drinking tea, while Lu Qingliu sat there, not daring to touch the tea prepared for him.

Qin Hui glanced at Lu Qingliu and said, "Have tea."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Lu Qingliu picked up the teacup and started eating too.

"How does it taste?" Qin Hui asked.

"Excellent!"

"I heard that this is the tea you prepared for me?" Qin Hui said.

"A little bit of love from the grassroots." Lu Qingliu had a flattering smile on his face.

"Is the tea business going well?"

"It's going well, with Qin Xianggong taking care of it, everything is going well."

"How is it going well, can you tell me in detail?"

Lu Qingliu put down his teacup and said, "Last year Cao Min met a Jin Guo general named Wanyan Ba ​​Lisu. He asked us to buy 100 million catties of tea, of which 60 catties were sliced ​​tea, and a catty of sliced ​​tea could sell for 1000 yuan. arts."

Qin Hui took a deep breath, this is indeed a huge profiteering industry!

The price of a piece of tea in the capital was about 340 renminbi per catty, but it tripled in the Kingdom of Jin.

The income of 60 catties of sliced ​​tea is 60 Guan!

"The loose tea is 40 catties, and each catty is 200 Wen."

"Can loose tea be sold at this price?" Qin Hui couldn't help asking.

"The Jin people have a great demand for tea." Lu Qingliu said, "The money of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom seems to be inexhaustible."

Qin Hui thought to himself, of course, the Jinren extorted tens of millions of taels of silver and millions of taels of gold in Song Dynasty.

As for the copper coins that were publicly robbed, there were countless of them.

The common people of the Kingdom of Jin may be very poor, but the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin are extremely rich.

As for fighting for so many years, the military expenditure of the Jin people is much less than that of the Song Dynasty because of the military system.

Of course they are willing to spend money to enjoy.

"What about this year?" Qin Hui asked again.

"The two countries have ceased fighting this year, and Wanyan Balisu has already bought 200 million catties."

Qin Hui's heart suddenly became excited. It seems that Liaodong is really a place where huge profits gather!

Qin Hui was silent for a moment, and asked, "Besides you and the Jinren, are there other people?"

"The grassroots don't know."

"You do not know?"

Lu Qingliu was a little confused by the question, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Qin Xianggong, now that the two countries have opened the ban, anyone can do business with the Jin people, and the imperial court doesn't care about it. You know that."

Qin Hui said: "But there is a special kind of people."

Lu Qingliu was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized who Qin Hui was talking about.

"Qin Xianggong, the grassroots don't know about it."

"You have been in Liaodong for so many years, don't you know?"

Qin Hui's tone became a little cold, as if he was blaming Lu Qingliu.

Seeing that Lu Qingliu was still pretending to be a fool, Qin Hui said directly: "Is the military involved?"

"Military?" Lu Qingliu pretended to be thinking, hesitated for a while, and immediately said, "It seems that the military really exists, but it seems that they only have contacts with the people of the Jin Kingdom, and have no contact with the Jin Army."

Qin Hui's eyes lit up, and he asked: "Who is the name, who do you have contacts with, and what position is it?"

Lu Qingliu looked around, and Qin Hui motioned him to write it down.

Lu Qingliu didn't say much, picked up the pen and started writing.

After finishing writing, Qin Hui picked it up and looked at it, and his heart immediately burst into joy. He said, "You find me the private businessmen of the Jin Kingdom who have contacts with these Liaodong Army, and I want evidence."

Lu Qingliu also showed a sinister smile, and he asked, "What does Mr. Xiang want to achieve?"

Qin Hui said: "The Liaodong army does business with the Jin people in private. This is a big taboo. As the minister of the imperial court, how can I sit idly by!"

"Qin Xianggong is righteous, and the grass people admire him!"

"Don't say anything about this matter. If you handle it beautifully, I won't treat you badly."

"Yes!"

"Also, let's make the business bigger. I have already ordered someone to open up the source of silk for you. You can do it freely."

"Caomin thank you, Mr. Qin, Caomin will not disappoint Mr. Qin."

"Arrange the way of buying and selling better, don't make a fuss, let alone let people catch anything, understand?"

"Understood, the grassroots are arranged in a very secret way, even if someone comes down to check Mr. Qin's share, it's about the same."

Qin Hui added: "Even if we can find out, I have 1 ways to get rid of the relationship. You have to be clear, you can live a good life by following me."

Qin Hui's words were a direct threat.

He was telling Lu Qingliu that even if you have an account book, there is no way to directly quality control your account book and have any relationship with me, Qin, so don't waste your time, do things well, and won't treat you badly.

This prestige and forgiveness, playing without leaving traces, is also a master.

"Yes! Does Mr. Qin have anything else to order?"

"No more, let's go down."

"Caomin retire."

Lu Qingliu left Qin Hui's residence, and immediately wrote a letter to Gao Qiu after he returned.

He explained clearly what he had discussed with Qin Hui today.

Of course, he didn't dare to delay what Qin Hui told him to do, and immediately arranged for someone to investigate and deal with it.

Lu Qingliu has been doing business in Liaodong for several years, and he has a clear grasp of the thickness of every earthworm here.

I'm afraid I can count the number of moles on any girl's body.

In two days, Lu Qingliu gave Qin Hui some substantial evidence.

In fact, it's not difficult. The Jin Kingdom merchants who deal privately are happy to provide some product evidence.

If it was in the past, they might not cooperate, after all, they still have to buy goods.

But now that the ban has been fully opened, they are not short of supplies.

Once the merchants of the Kingdom of Jin are found, they can immediately find the civilian merchants of the Song Dynasty who are connected with the merchants of the Kingdom of Jin, that is, the military's agent in the civilian area.

On July 28, before leaving Duli City, Qin Hui met Liu Shuming, the magistrate of Duli County.

The two were having tea, but Qin Hui suddenly asked, "Did anything unusual happen in the transaction at the ferry before?"

Liu Shuming was somewhat puzzled by Qin Hui's question.

He thought for a while and said, "Is everything normal?"

"is it?"

"Yes, everything is normal. The officials often go to the ferry to inspect. Qin Xianggong can rest assured."

"Then why did someone tell me that there are people in the army secretly trading with Jin people at the port of Duli?"

As soon as Qin Hui said this, Liu Shuming stood up suddenly in fright.

"Qin Xianggong, is this unlikely?"

"The evidence is all here! Zhu Jiancheng, the deputy of the Third Battalion of the First Army of the Dragon Guards!"

Qin Hui took out the copies of those confessions.

Chapter 1172 Qin Hui's Multifaceted Life (Part [-])

Liu Shuming picked it up and looked at it, his face immediately changed.

"This this this..."

With a cold face, Qin Hui said seriously: "The related products are also here, and the witnesses are also caught!"

"It's a big deal, I'm afraid it will..."
