Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 39 Deal
In a sense, the period when Zulong was in charge of the universe was the pinnacle of the social status of merchants in the past dynasties.

Sima Qian listed more than 30 great merchants from ancient times to the Western Han Dynasty in "Historical Records: Huozhi Biography".

Among them, Wu Shiluo, Ba Widow Qing, Shu Zhuo, Cheng Zheng, and Wan Kong were all wealthy businessmen during the Qin Shihuang period.

But since the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has begun to have a trend of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business".

In the Eastern Han Dynasty after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, it became even more serious.

Drawing lessons from Wang Mang, Liu Xiu not only restored the five baht coin designed by Empress Lv, but also gradually abolished the equal transfer method and the central government's salt and iron monopoly policy, which led to the rapid recovery of Chinese industry and commerce in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

When it came to future generations, the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty overcorrected.

Although the monopoly of salt and iron was not abandoned, the monopoly was transferred from the central government to the local government. As a result, the powerful landlords became powerful.

Hundreds of years later, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are only big landlords and merchants who work part-time in every state in the world.

It is very difficult for a giant merchant like Lu Buwei to overthrow the county and country in the Warring States period to appear.

When Wang Zheng heard that the largest rice store in Zhao County was called "Mi Ji", Wang Zheng's heart was moved, and he immediately thought of Liu Huangshu's cheap brother-in-law.

You must know that in this troubled world, the rice shop is the most important store in all counties and counties in the world.

The most profitable, the most implicated.

For an out-of-town business firm, not to mention how many joints it needs to open up to grow its business in another place, it is not easy to be able to open and welcome customers under the influence of the local gentry.

And Miji Mihang has achieved such extraordinary achievements.

Not only did it not close down, but it also became the number one in Zhao County.

Based on this alone, one can see the huge energy behind it.

Apart from Mi Zhu, a local tyrant in Xuzhou who gave away two thousand soldiers and countless gold and silver goods when he married his younger sister, Wang Zheng never imagined that there would be another capable man named Mi.

"It is said that he has nearly [-] child servants and eaters, and his assets are hundreds of millions. I don't know if it is exaggerated or underestimated?"

While thinking in his heart, he looked at Mi Ling who was sitting across from him and was speechless for a while.

Wang Zheng joked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Mi, but the goods are not here, so it's hard to estimate the price?"

Mi Ling heard this, looked up at Wang Zheng, smiled awkwardly, but remained silent.

Their eyes met, they both knew it well, Mi Ling didn't hesitate for this reason.

You must know that the thirteen families are either nobles or gentry, and they have been passed down for generations. How can they estimate the price in a short time with such a huge accumulated wealth?
What Wang Zheng wants to listen to Mi Ling now is not the price at all.

Instead it is divided.

This made Mi Ling tangled in his heart for a long time. The most difficult thing for him was to come up with a number that satisfied Wang Zheng without harming the interests of the Mi family.

The initiative seemed to be in Mi Ling's hands, but in fact it put him in a very passive situation.

Finally, Mi Ling gritted his teeth in secret, reluctantly cupped his hands and said: "General, for such a big business, I'm underestimating my position, I really can't decide."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's face remained unchanged, but he looked at Mi Ling with deep eyes, and smiled: "You did it."

"Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou at this time, but I am rebelling in the rear. This is something your Mi family is very happy to see."

While speaking, he paced slowly in the private room, as if he was in a good mood, and he admired the furnishings in the room while talking to himself.

"So, no matter what your status was before, at this moment, you must be able to be the master."

As soon as these words came out, Mi Ling was stunned.

Amidst the sound of slow paced steps, he looked at Wang Zheng in surprise.

These words should not come from the mouth of an ignorant villager.

It shouldn't be so young.

Looking up at the indifferent General Tiangong, Mi Ling hesitated in his eyes, pondered for a while, stretched out a palm, pulled down two fingers, and said tentatively:
"General, what's the number?"

Wang Zheng moved his eyes, followed the other's fingertips to look at the fat face,

He pondered: "Thirty percent?"

Seeing the noncommittal look of the other party, he seemed dissatisfied with the bid, fearing that Wang Zheng would not understand the way, Mi Ling hurriedly explained, blurting out a series of words in a hurry:

"General, according to the source of your shipment, in order not to cause trouble, you must first transfer it to a distant state."

"The distance is long, how much customs clearance is required along the way, and how much is the consumption of people, horses and vehicles to escort the goods?"

"There is also an evaluation of the goods, packaging before sale, and then looking for a buyer. After finding a buyer, we need to make a guarantee commitment to address the concerns of some buyers."

"The layer-by-layer loss, plus the risk of prolonging the time of each layer, [-]% is what I can"

"You say [-]%, then [-]%."

Wang Zheng interrupted the other party's chatter with a wave of his hand, and nodded in agreement.

"I dare not lie to the general, it is true."

When the conversation was interrupted, Mi Ling naturally didn't dare to speak at that time, so as not to offend the other party, but habitually thought that Wang Zheng was dissatisfied.

This is what he expected.

No matter who you are or who you are, there will inevitably be a bargaining session in the transaction.

So as soon as the other party finished speaking, he immediately opened his mouth again and was about to explain to Wang Zheng, when he just uttered a little, he finally came back to his senses.

The other party agreed to the price without hesitation.

Swallowing back all the rest of the words, Mi Ling was delighted in his heart, but looked at Wang Zheng with doubts in his eyes.

He was surprised at the straightforwardness of the other party, and instinctively felt that Wang Zheng's move had other intentions.

"Treasurer Mi, the general will have already made it clear," Wang Zheng looked at the surprised Mi Ling, and repeated it again:
"The price is up to you."

Wang Zheng knew that what the other party said might be true, but it must be exaggerated.

Isn't the essence of negotiation just to ask for a price and pay back the money?This is the urination of merchants, he has seen it many times in his previous life.

He must be at a disadvantage at this price, but Wang Zheng didn't hesitate at all, because he was too lazy to argue, and because he didn't mind how much the other party made, and he didn't care how much he lost.

This is just a temporary gain and loss, let alone the Mi family.
They'll spit out more for me later.

He looked at Mi Ling calmly, and smiled lightly, but with an inexplicable majesty, awe-inspiring.

"As for the rest, I will have the final say."

Looking at Mi Ling intently, the same series of words came out loudly from Wang Zheng's mouth.

"One, to complete this transaction, Ben will need you to provide a piece of information first."

"Second, this transaction can only be bartered."

"Three, things, including various supplies, horses, rations, weapons, armor, wound medicine, etc."

"The specific amount, you first estimate the total price, and then we can negotiate."

When walking out of the rice shop, Wang Zheng stood still at the gate, thought for a while, and waved to Xu Fang.

When Xu Fang approached, Wang Zhenglang said in a loud voice, "Notice."

"After an hour, all the five divisions of the first battalion of the Tianjun went to the military camp to gather."

"promise!"
