Chapter 15 Pie from the Sky

(Please collect it. In addition, the friend who voted for the black vote, you have to stick to it. This book is expected to be written for more than a year, and you have to be unimpeded.)

Jiang Bin put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, leaned back, and looked at Song Nan and asked, "What are the Song brothers going to do in the future? Do you want to continue to study and take the exam, or is there another way?

Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "My mother wants me to continue to study for three years, but I want to do business with some capital, at least I can make ends with food and clothing."

Jiang Bin was stunned and suddenly laughed, "Doing business? Fortunately, you can figure it out, and you don't look at the world. What are the futures in business? Don't let others eat tofu quickly. Which company in Weizhou City has made a fortune?

Jiang Bin paused and lowered his voice and said, "Unless you have a huge family like the Song family, your Song family... Well... It should be said that the Song family that has nothing to do with you has indeed made some money in Weizhou, but do you know the inside story?"

Song Nan shook her head and said, "How can I know?"

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Isn't this the end? Do you know the secret of how a big businessman can make his business prosperous?"

Song Nan knew it well, and the experience of later generations told him that Jiang Bin's meaning must refer to the protection of the government and the collusion between officials and businessmen. Sure enough, Jiang Bin continued: "We have six big merchants in Weizhou, and the Song family is one. As you know, the Song family's main business is grain trading. What is lacking here is food, but the lack of grain belongs to the lack of food. The acquisition of military grain does not necessarily require the supply of the Song family. As long as there is a wink, a large group of merchants squeeze their heads in. The Song family made a relationship in the hands of your father, so all the grain in the military warehouses was purchased from the Song family. According to the policy of the imperial court, the military grain supplied to the border town was given one stone and three stones, and 200 catties of salt was combined. That is to say, every time the Song family transports grain from Jianghuai lakes and other places into the warehouse, they obtain a certain amount of salt trafficking rights accordingly. On the surface, the Song family is doing a grain business, but secretly it actually makes a lot of money by selling salt. Do you understand?

Song Nan took a breath and thought that there were so many doors here, and he didn't know the twists and turns. If Jiang Bin hadn't mentioned it, he would have thought that the Song family had always been engaged in the grain trafficking business.

"In addition, in order to maintain such a supply relationship, the Song family has dredged countless money and silver every year. Although I don't know the specific amount, I might as well tell you that every year, our Weizhou Wei can receive filial silver. Although my thousand households are not good, there are thousands of silver in rebates every year. Zijin; hey, why did I help Song Fu speak that day? Brother, the white money is not in vain.

Song Nan frowned and thought, "In this way, the silver that the Song family filially honors every year is not a small amount. Up and down the state government, the large and small officials of the Weizhou Health Institute, and... other government offices."

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "The exact amount is unknown. No one knows this account, and no one knows it. Our official position is low. Just take a little money. I don't know how much others take."

Song Nan drank a glass of wine silently and said, "But why did Lord Qianhu tell me such a secret? Aren't you afraid of leaking it out?"

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "This is a bird's secret. Isn't it the same in all the border towns? Besides, do you think there is a bird to use? Can you still jump out of flowers? You scholars are very flowery.

Song Nan was speechless in the face of Jiang Bin's ridicule. He knew that what Jiang Bin said was also the truth. No matter which dynasty, these things were always inevitable. Many of them have become recognized laws. Everyone acquiesces to this. If anyone doesn't know each other, he must die ugly.

Jiang Bin raised his glass and touched Song Nan and smiled, "Brother Song, don't blame me for speaking poorly. I'm a rough person and don't like to beat around the bush. You said you want to be in business. Not to mention that you are a talented businessman laughing at, no one will laugh at you. What can you do if you have no way and no money? Is it possible to set up a pancake stall or open a tavern to fool around?

Song Nan smiled and said, "That's also good. It's okay to eat freely, as long as you can eat enough."

Jiang Bin sank his face and said, "Does Brother Song look down on me, Jiang Bin? I talked to you, but you couldn't help talking to me. If Brother Song is a person who keeps his own peace, I will destroy my eyes and be blind.

Song Nan laughed and said, "How can Jiang Qianhu know that I am not a person who guards himself?"

Jiang Bin slammed, "Do you still dare to go to the gate of Songfu to make trouble? Ordinary people even avoid three feet in front of the gate of Song Mansion. What if there is a good reason for your crooked reasoning?

Song Nan tilted her head and thought, "It seems that Jiang Qianhu knows more about me than myself. Well, I admit that I am not willing to be poor, but so what? My heart is as thin as paper. I failed in the exam, but my dream of doing business was ruthlessly crushed by thousands of households. I don't know what to do.

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "There is a broad road in front of you, but I don't know if you would like to leave."

Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "Is it the matter of joining the Weizhou Guard Army mentioned last time?"

Jiang Bin clapped his hands and said, "Yes, you still remember. I sincerely invited you last time. You said that Lingtang wanted you to study. Reading is the right way, and it's not easy for us to stop your future. Now that you have failed in the township exam and you don't want to wait for another three years. The way to do business is the worst. In this case, I sincerely invite you to come under my curtain. Jun, although it can't be said that it's a help in the snow, it can also be regarded as having you as a brother in my heart.

Song Nan squinted and said, "Jiang Qianhu said that I seem to have no choice, but what's the future of my talent who has no power to bind chickens into the army? Not to mention war, it's an ordinary street fight, and I'm not a human opponent.

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "It's the work of the soldiers below to die in war. You are a scholar, how can you go to work hard? You only serve as a military officer under thousands of households and manage the entry and exit of some accounts. Although you have no official position, you are also fat and short, and your status is not below a hundred households. In addition, you are Jiang Bin's person, who dares not to disrespect you? Looking for an opportunity for you to make up for the shortage of 100 households, then you are the official seven-grade military officer. As long as you are smart in the army, you have a lot of opportunities, and you still worry about promotion? Although the military position is not as decent as a civil official, it is also an official of the imperial court. What is this?

Song Nan was a little moved when he heard what he said. The cake drawn by Jiang Bin was quite big, but he always felt a little unsteady, as if he was going to get on a thief's boat.

"Echigo, I have a question to ask, and I hope you can forgive me if I offend you."

"Ask, just ask, Jiang knows everything. You won't be angry."

Song Nan pinched her chin and asked, "Although you and I have seen two faces, we can't talk about friendship. Since there is such a good thing, why did it fall on my head, Song Nan? I haven't encountered such a good thing in my old age.

Jiang Bin blushed slightly and said with a smile, "We are predestined. Didn't I say that? As soon as we meet, friends don't need to meet thousands of times. One time is enough.

Song Nan laughed and said, "Although I, Song Nan, am only 16 years old and have never seen any world, at least I know some worldly wisdom. You'd better coax the three-year-old child. It seems that Jiang Qianhu doesn't care about me as much as he claims.

Jiang Bin was stunned and said with a dark face, "Brother Song, this is your fault. I sincerely point out a way out. You seem to think I have a conspiracy. This is too... too hurtful."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I just think it's impossible to drop a big cake in the sky for no reason, and it's just hit me on the head. There must be secrets in what's unreasonable. Why don't thousands of adults say it clearly? Otherwise, you can't run with the adults in confusion. In case the adult is a human traffickers abducting me and sell me, I will do it for the adult. Isn't counting money a big joke, hahaha.

Jiang Bin was stunned, and then burst into a shocking laugh. Song Nan waited for him to stop laughing and got up and shouted, "Aunt Fang, check out. It's my treat today."

Aunt Fang has already gone upstairs. The girl Qingli behind the counter is playing with a handkerchief embroidery. Hearing this, she quickly got up and said, "My cousin ordered me to offend the prince today. Wine and vegetables are free."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. I'll say goodbye." Jiang Bin bowed his hand and saluted, "Jianhu, I'm going to say goodbye." Step away from your seat and walk to the door.

Jiang Bin opened his eyes and hurriedly said, "Oh, why are you leaving halfway? Brother Song, let's talk about it later.

Song Nan said, "Jiang Qianhu is busy with business, so I won't disturb him."

When Jiang Bin saw Song Nan walk out of the door, he suddenly patted the table and shouted, "Okay, well, Brother Song, won't Jiang be angry with you? What a stubborn scholar. No wonder people say that the scholar is unreasonable when he meets a soldier. It's really difficult to deal with.
