Chapter 209 There is fraud in it

"Has there been any reply from the Emperor?"

Mr. Cui has been waiting for news these two days. If the emperor approves it, it will indeed be good for wealthy families like them. However, if the pastures are too scattered, they can still buy them. But it costs a lot.

The reason why aristocratic families are called aristocratic families is because they have not been idle for hundreds of years. Even if the emperor divides a single piece of land into small pieces, they will still have enough small families to auction, but when the time comes It's a bit troublesome to give these small families some benefits. It's far better to just buy a big one.

"It's not that. The Ministry of War issued an official document to replace war horses for the Sixth Army of Beiya and the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya in Chang'an City in the next five years. Five thousand to ten thousand horses will be replaced every year for five consecutive years. .”

Cui Yunzhu said out of breath. He came back quickly when he got the news. Other major families may have also gotten the news. We are pressed for time now and must give the news to Cui Yuncheng as soon as possible. Wait until When Cui Yuncheng bids, he must be higher than others, otherwise we won't be able to buy it, and we definitely won't be able to buy it at the original price.

"Third Master, we can't stay here. We have to send someone six hundred miles to rush over. If this news doesn't reach Yuncheng, if he follows the original auction plan, then we won't be able to get the grassland. Well, if there is no pasture, we will not be able to accept the business of exchanging war horses for the military department, which is a huge profit."

Cui Yunzhu saw Mr. Cui being stunned here, so he had to hurry up and say something. If they can get the news, other major families can also get the news. We don't have time to react at all. We must send the news to the front line quickly. That's fine, once more and more people get the news, our advantages will become less and less.

"etc……"

The two housekeepers were about to start writing letters. They also believed that what Cui Yunzhu said was serious business. The imperial court was replacing war horses on a large scale. This was a big deal for any family. In the past, we could only be second-rate dealers, buying from the prairie people. Li bought the horses and then sold them to the court. Although the profits were not small, most of the profits still went to the prairie people.

Now we have our own pasture, and if we manage it properly, we can even capture more than half of it. This profit is no joke, and we can get a million dollars a year in an instant.

"Third Master?"

Cui Yunzhu didn't understand what the third master was still hesitating about. Time is money now, and the southwest is still far away from the capital. Every minute of delay here may be further away from this huge sum of money. Cui Yunzhu was so anxious that there was a lump on his forehead. Sweat.

"Calm down, please think carefully. At such a critical moment, the emperor issued such an order. Do you think there is no fraud in it?"

After all, Master Cui has matured with age. It is precisely because he has thought more in these years that he has made fewer mistakes. Although this pasture auction is definitely profitable, these things happened too coincidental. It's like everyone has planned it. If someone really planned it and you do what they want to do, then you are not far from death.

"How can there be any fraud in this? It is a normal thing for the imperial court to replace war horses, but there was no centralized replacement in the past. According to the current statement of the imperial court, centralized replacement may save some money. After all, this is a large transaction."

Cui Yunzhu took out a letter from the imperial court, which contained this order.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. If you can't write this letter, let Yuncheng carry out the transaction in the original way. If you can buy it, it will be our blessing. If you can't buy it, it will also be the fate of our Cui family. .”

Mr. Cui's words instantly made the people next to him not know what to say. In the past, you were very courageous in doing things. For example, although we bought the treasures that Li Xiang brought out at a very high price, But they have doubled their profits, and some have even tripled their profits. Nowadays, I don’t have the courage to buy a pasture?

"Third Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can occupy a large share of the grassland, let alone the court replacing war horses in the future, if the major yamen want to buy horses, they will have to go to us. We can even take the opportunity to monopolize this market.”

Although Cui Yunzhu has not shown off his skills in business, he also knows that monopoly can generate huge profits. In the past, they did not invest much in this area, so they did not have much idea. Now there is such an opportunity to monopolize the livestock trade. , even if it is only a part of it, the annual profits are staggering. How can the third master back down at this time?

"When huge profits are placed in front of you, you have to keep a clear mind. If you think about some things together, the main participant in this matter is Li Xiang, but he withdrew in the middle. You can say that it is us. Don't you think it's strange that this guy didn't resist at all despite the pressure from the major families? He has never been so obedient in doing things. Even if this order is issued by the emperor, he may refute it. "

Cui Sanye has always been paying attention to Li Xiang. If he didn't pay attention to Li Xiang, then he would definitely step on the trap in front of him. After all, he is not a god, but just because he pays attention to Li Xiang, many times Li Xiang If the reaction is abnormal, then he thinks that this matter cannot be done.

"If the third master said so, then this matter can be justified. His Highness the Emperor Changsun has made such a great contribution, and he also wanted to use this to let his Zhi Da Bao come to handle this matter, but in the end we stopped him. , but instead of settling accounts with us, His Highness acted as if this matter had not happened. This is indeed a bit abnormal, and it is not like his character."

The chief butler also saw that something was going on. When there was no doubt, everyone thought it was a profitable business. When doubts appeared, even if everyone wanted to make money, they had to be cautious. For the world's most wealthy family, It is said that making money is important, but it is more important not to fall into traps. Making money is just the icing on the cake, but if you fall into traps, it will be fatal...
