20demayo Chapter 180: Accept business or not?
Chapter 180: Accept business or not?
Magistrate Sun saw that the maid didn't move and frowned: "Didn't you hear that?"
The maid hurriedly left and closed the door.
Shen Qianning did not mince words and said directly: "I have a big business to do with you."
The jade mine is in her territory, but!
She knew she couldn't hold on.
It's not like she hasn't thought about asking Wang Mazi and others to guard her, or asking many people from all walks of life to guard her.
However, this method is not good.
She knew very well that if she did this, it would be difficult for the Yamen to explain. If something happened, the Yamen would not be able to facilitate her.
Another thing is that people will die for money and birds will die for food. In the face of enough interests, there is nothing to be afraid of. When she meets someone who is not afraid of death, she will not hire enough people to look at her.
But it was different when the yamen joined her. She would take her share. In this way, with the yamen's protection, she would not be afraid of unsighted people looking for trouble. After all, finding trouble meant being at odds with the court.
There are so many gold and silver mines in the imperial court, but I have never heard of them being robbed.
Magistrate Sun and County Magistrate Meng saw Shen Qianning's serious face.
He couldn't help but become serious.
Magistrate Sun said: "Boss Shen, why don't you tell me what kind of business you have."
Shen Qianning took off the jade bracelet from his wrist, put it in front of Magistrate Sun and said, "Prefect Sun, please take a look at this jade material first!"
Magistrate Sun looked at Shen Qianning with some confusion. He didn't understand what Shen Qianning meant, but he still picked up the jade bracelet.
After looking around carefully, he said, "The jade material is very good."
Later, Shen Qianning asked Magistrate Meng to take a look at the bracelet.
Both of them knew that Shen Qianning must have deep meaning in doing this.
But I don't understand why Shen Qianning did this.
"What does business have to do with jade bracelets?" Magistrate Sun asked the doubt in his heart.
Shen Qianning smiled: "The business I want to talk to you about has to do with this jade bracelet."
Both Magistrate Meng and Magistrate Sun are people who have seen the world.
Shen Qianning just said this, and the two of them guessed something.
Magistrate Sun immediately became serious.
He said in disbelief: "Could it be that the business you are talking about is that you discovered the jade mine?"
Magistrate Meng just looked at Shen Qianning in shock, wanting Shen Qianning to explain.
Shen Qianning did not deny it, but said seriously: "It is true that I discovered a jade mine."
Now Magistrate Meng and Magistrate Sun were no longer calm.
Magistrate Sun stood up from his chair and walked back and forth: "Is this jade bracelet of yours made from the jade mine you discovered?"
He had just looked at it carefully and found that the jade material of the jade bracelet was particularly good.
If you really mine jade, you will definitely make a lot of money.
He couldn't grasp Shen Qianning's intentions.
After thinking about the key points, he sat down and asked seriously: "Where was the jade mine discovered?"
Shen Qianning did not hide anything. Since he chose to cooperate, of course he must tell the truth.
He said seriously: "Happy Village!"
Magistrate Sun took a deep breath.
He looked at Shen Qianning with strange eyes: "You are really lucky. Jade mines can be found in Xingfu Village. Why do you want to find the two of us?"
He believed that Shen Qianning must be capable of mining.
But Shen Qianning gave a reasonable explanation: "I can't swallow such a large jade mine by myself. To be honest, I just picked up this jade in the woods. In other words, the jade mine may be very big."
Speaking of this, Shen Qianning paused.
He raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and continued: "You should also know that if I mine, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Although I make more money from mining myself, I think so! Since it is a mine, there must be I don’t mind sharing the benefits of the imperial court with everyone, but I have to get my share.”
Magistrate Meng frowned and said, "You have a good idea."
But he was worried that Magistrate Sun was unreliable, so he didn't dare to say this now.
The little thoughts in Magistrate Sun's heart disappeared in a flash.
Silently reminding himself that the emperor became calm after paying attention to Shen Qianning.
"Then how do you want to cooperate? I have to say that your decision is correct. Mining sounds simple, but in fact you will encounter a lot of troubles. First of all, there are ruffians. Secondly, you can only mine the jade mine. How to sell the jewelry is also a problem. In addition, if more jade is mined, the court will definitely be envious and there will definitely be no shortage of troubles."
He always helped Shen Qianning analyze from a very objective perspective.
In fact, Shen Qianning also thought of this.
Heard it with gusto.
He kept nodding and said: "That's true."
Then he looked at Magistrate Sun and said with a smile: "That's why I found you two! When the time comes, we can't do without the care of Magistrate Sun and County Magistrate Meng, so you just decide whether the court will accept this deal or not!"
Magistrate Sun smiled candidly and said: "Take that! This is a very good thing for the court. You also know how scarce food and grass are in the border war. I heard County Magistrate Meng mention you before, saying that you took the initiative to pay taxes."
Magistrate Meng never hesitated to praise Shen Qianning's good deeds in front of outsiders.
In fact, in his eyes, Shen Qianning has many, many advantages.
Shen Qianning felt embarrassed: "Paying taxes is what I should do. Let's discuss the jade mine matter!"
The ground is her ground.
It was the land given to her by the emperor.
In fact, it doesn't matter even if she doesn't share it.
However, she took the initiative to take it out. Even if she cooperates with the court, the dividends will definitely account for the majority.
So the two sides began to bargain.
In the end, all the dividends were divided into four and six, with the court accounting for four and Shen Qianning accounting for six.
Magistrate Sun was very concerned about this matter and suggested that he write the deed first and then go to Xingfu Village with Magistrate Meng.
By the way, Magistrate Sun has to lead officers and soldiers to guard it.
In order to avoid being targeted by others after the news of this matter leaks out.
Shen Qianning felt that Magistrate Sun was safe in doing so.
Immediately agreed.
Therefore, the two of them were very anxious and felt that it would be better to choose a different day than to hit the sun and leave Qucheng today.
Shen Qianning had no choice but to go to the store.
Xiao Dongsheng was supervising the work of the carpenters. When he saw Shen Qianning coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Everyone is very serious about their work. I asked, and everything can be done in up to ten days."
Shen Qianning encouraged Xiao Dongsheng and said: "You have done a good job. I will give you two taels of silver and you can keep it to buy food. I have to go back to Xingfu Village for something. I estimate that I will be back in two or three days. You will encounter something in these two days." Just go find Mr. Shang."
Xiao Dongsheng was a little worried: "Sister, what are you doing back again? Did something happen at home?"
Shen Qianning smiled gently and said, "Something good happened. If you are worried, you can go back with me."
Xiao Dongsheng said quickly: "I won't follow my sister back. I want to keep an eye on them here to prevent them from being lazy."
Still used to driving the carriage by myself.
Shen Qianning drove the carriage himself and followed Magistrate Sun and their carriage out of the city.
It was not until dark that we arrived at Xingfu Village.
Magistrate Sun followed Shen Qianning, always feeling that the surroundings were chilly.
I don't know if it's psychological.
