Chapter 113: A handle delivered to your door?
"Jiang Yizhou, what do you mean by this? Don't think that just because we respect you now, you can be arrogant and speak wildly!"
Jiang Yizhou calmly looked at Zhang Cong, who was on the verge of a rage again, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "What is the reason for your words, Lord Zhang? I am just following your words. Since Lord Zhang is full of the country and the people, and asked me to donate the cement formula that all the workers in my farm rely on to survive to the court. Then shouldn't you donate the mountains of treasures and silver in your warehouse to the court?"
"It seems that Master Zhang cannot lead by example. How can I emulate your noble character?"
This is what happened after stabbing Scar and then twisting him a few times.
Although Zhang Cong was a little drunk, how could he tolerate the other party stepping on his face and yelling at him!
He Jimin and Fu Xian held him down, "Everyone is a little drunk, Master Jiang is just talking casually, come on, let's drink..."
Jiang Yizhou said calmly: "Actually, my meaning is very simple. If you want something from me, just put it on the table and talk about it. Don't use those moral kidnappings or any roundabout ways. If the conditions you offer are okay, then we will continue to talk. If not, we will each find a new partner. It's that simple."
... "Tell me, what do you want in exchange for handing over the cement formula?"
Jiang Yizhou: "It's impossible to make a deal, but we can cooperate."
"What kind of cooperation method?"
Jiang Yizhou: "I only cooperate with the court, not a certain official in the court, so please go back and report to your master. Give him ten days, he can take the initiative to report the cement matter to the emperor, and then send officials to discuss cooperation. The credit for discovering cement is his. Otherwise, I will find other ways to report it to the emperor. It's up to him to choose."
"What about Yunshan Special?"
Jiang Yizhou: "You two have traveled a long way, and you have your own reasons. If I had no intention of cooperating with you, I would not have taken it out."
The two of them complained about Jiang Yizhou in their hearts, but what they said was: "So, what does the head of the Jiang family mean?..."
Anyway, the two of them didn't curse each other directly, so Jiang Yizhou didn't take it to heart.
Jiang Yizhou: "The price is still the same as before..."
Seeing that their expressions were about to change again, she quickly continued, "But it's for external use."
"If you two are willing to act as a matchmaker so that I can gain a foothold in Kyoto and promote the Yunshan Special Zone, I will give you a commission of one tael of silver per kilogram of wine."
The two of them were slightly excited. Although according to their previous rules, they always took the lion's share, this time the total was only 20%.
But it is obvious that the head of the Jiang family is not an ordinary person and cannot follow ordinary rules.
Moreover, every kilogram of wine sold would earn them one or two taels of silver... According to the demand for wine among the people in Kyoto... In an instant, numbers popped up in their minds.
Zhang Cong immediately asked: "How do you matchmake?"
"I'm not familiar with Kyoto. If you two can recommend a suitable store for me and help me promote it..."
The two looked at each other: "That's it? I mean..."
Jiang Yizhou: "If you are afraid that I will go back on my word, or that the share of profits in the future will not be in place, we can sign a document now."
Make a written agreement?
The two waved their hands repeatedly, "No, no, we trust Master Jiang."
Although most officials in the court now have connections with local areas and have their own businesses.
But these will not be brought to the table for processing, and usually they have to be passed around in the middle.
If you just sign a written agreement, wouldn't that be handing your handle to the other party?
Although they do not have a dominant position in the negotiations here, once they arrive in Kyoto, that will be their territory, and they will have the final say on the specific rules!
…………
The next day, after Zhang and Fu sobered up, they thought about how they had been stepped on and compromised by a small family head and a woman last night.
The resentment in my heart began to rise.
Jiang Yizhou, just wait and see.
As for the case of the evil slave injuring his master and the son-in-law killing his wife...they were finally reviewed and approved - killed.
On the one hand, this case has both witnesses and physical evidence, so even if one wants to make a fuss about it, it would be very costly.
On the other hand, now that they have apparently reached an agreement with that woman, if they continue to fuss over this small matter, it will make her wary.
Of course, even if they made a big fuss about these two cases and created public opinion, it would actually only be useful to those women in the inner house who valued "reputation". For the woman who dared to sit in the first seat directly in front of the officials, it would most likely just be free advertising for her.
As for your saying that if she ruins her reputation, her products won't sell? That's a real joke.
After the two men had settled the case here, they were about to go back and report to their master, but then another shocking news came from Fusong Town.
The son of the head of the Jiang family killed someone!
It happened on the night when the head of the Jiang family went to Ximin County. When she returned to the Jiang residence the next day, the entire backyard was in chaos.
Aunt Jiang and several servants personally pointed out that it was Jiang Yian who pushed the second young master Jiang Chengzu into the water. When they drove Jiang Yian away and fished Jiang Chengzu out, he was already stone cold.
Then, Jiang Yizhou immediately ordered someone to send all the people to the government office without even entering the door.
When Jiang Yian was locked in the cage, he shouted to Jiang Yizhou heartbreakingly: "Mother, save me, mother, I don't want to die, I am your biological son, mother, save me..."
Jiang Yizhou sneered in his heart and was happy, but his face showed an expression of extreme grief and righteousness: "Son, mother has always taught you to cultivate your moral character, be friendly to your brothers and respectful to your younger brothers, and study hard. How could you do such a thing? Since you have done something wrong, you should be responsible for your actions. Although you are my son, I cannot violate the law of the country."
...He Jimin presided over the trial, while Zhang Cong and Fu Xian listened.
This case was very simple. After the blast of the gavel, everyone told what they had seen like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
After Jiang Yian made a few sophistry arguments, he was startled by the bang of the gavel. No matter how dark and cunning he was inside, his age was still there.
This frightened him and he told what he had done.
But he cried out at the top of his lungs, saying that it was his mother who forced him to do this...
When Zhang Cong and Fu Xian heard this, they thought it sounded so familiar.
Ning Jianren had said before that Jiang Yizhou was going to murder his son, but now his son said that his father forced him to do so. He quickly pricked up his ears, expecting this kid to say something shocking. If there was evidence that Jiang Yizhou instigated his son to kill, then... humph, there was no need to wait until I returned to Beijing to avenge last night, I could deal with this vicious woman now!
