After hearing this, Xu Ping was curious and asked Xu Chang: "Oh, what business? Let's talk about it. If it's appropriate, it's good to supplement your family. If you just have a second child, you have to plan for your children."

Like Xu Chang, who is considered a servant in the Xu family, does not have any clear relationship between master and slaves. He can also open a shop outside. He can still be ranked high when he has money and then recruits slaves. Those who help the master to take care of the business and have a certain status are generally called kids, and some are even richer than kings and princes.

After all, the relationship between personal dependence in this era is not strong, it is just a relationship of money employment.

Xu Chang said: "I mean to open a traffic shop. I have only heard from people that this business cannot be done by Quanyaozhijia. However, I know nothing about the internal market and dare not agree casually."

"What? Traffic shop? You must not do this business!" The smile on Xu Ping's face instantly dissipated, "If you want money to use it, we still have several ways at home. After the New Year, I and the head of Shige will open a glass shop for the official family. This method is originally ours. At that time, I will take down the broken glass waste in the shop as a condition. If you lead the shop that sells glass products in Beijing, you can make some things with these broken glass, and you can also benefit a lot."

Seeing Xu Ping's expression, Xu Chang knew that the business of Jiaoyin Shop was not simple, so he said, "They came to me, and I didn't know what Jiaoyin Shop was doing, so he didn't refuse. Since Dalang said he wouldn't do it, then he wouldn't do it. The wages I received at home were enough for our family to have enough food and clothing, and we didn't have to do anything."

Xu Ping looked at Xu Chang, then looked at Sun Qilang, and said in a deep voice: "I am now working as a deputy envoy of salt and iron in the court. Don't touch any business related to my responsibilities, so as not to make a real difference. We have many ways to make money at home, so there is no need to exchange my official position for money. Remember to discuss with me what to do in the future."

Seeing Xu Ping's serious attitude, Xu Chang and Sun Qilang hurriedly agreed respectfully.

The exchange shop specializes in the purchase and sale of some specialty materials such as salt and tea, and also does exchange business. Since the implementation of joining China and France along the border, merchants have delivered various strategic materials such as food, grass, cattle horns and other strategic materials at the border. Instead of giving money directly, they give them money, including tea, salt and salt, and money directly. The merchants took these exchanges and went to the special goods service set up by the Sansi of Beijing to exchange salt and tea and cash.

However, there is not always food or money in the goods service, so merchants have to wait in the capital. Some people can't wait, so they have to resell the goods at a low price to the goods service. Most of the goods service service are open next to the goods service, so they are naturally not afraid of being unable to wait. In other words, the goods service is actually engaged in securities business and makes high profits with strong capital.

In the past, merchants who entered China needed to exchange cash for cash and needed to pay the shop guarantee. Because of the disadvantages, this system was abolished during the Tiansheng period, and the shop suffered a certain blow. Despite this, the shop business was still the industry with the largest transaction volume in Beijing. A business often costs tens of millions and hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is shocking.

Moreover, in the past decade, the business of the Jiaotong shop has developed more and more complex. Merchants have received Jiaotong from the border, but they have not come from the capital at all. Instead, they sell it nearby in other places, and then resell it by the second dealer again.

When I first entered the middle school, my original intention was to induce merchants to sell grain from the mainland to the border, which did play a role at that time. In recent years, why hasn’t there been any grain transported to Shaanxi? The exchange shop made an indelible contribution.

The three sayings implemented now are that the inflated tea price can even reach ten times, which means that merchants can get ten cents of food and grass when paying a penny of food and grass along the border. You should know that the grain price in Shaanxi is several times that of the capital, and coupled with the inflated estimation, the profits of this industry have reached a terrifying level.

The court spent such a huge price, but no stone of grain was shipped to Shaanxi. Where did the money go? There were countless people lying on this chain of interests to suck blood. This is why Xu Ping discovered the trick but was full of concerns and did not dare to open up the dark side. If he didn't do it well, he would offend all the civil and military officials in the court.

The business of Jiaoyin Shop seems to have the capital to obtain high profits for nothing, but in fact, otherwise. If there is no connection in the court, the business will not be able to be done. The Song Dynasty court always wanted to hold the profits of every copper coin in its own hands, but it did not have the awareness of sharing profits with merchants. Jiaoyin Shop is so rich, it is naturally a fatty meat in the eyes of relevant departments. With the change of the law of Jiaoyin Shop, the millions of capital of Jiaoyin Shop merchants can be gone overnight.

Therefore, those who open exchange shops must have great connections in the court. Even if they cannot affect the court's policies, they can take measures before policy changes to minimize the losses.

Xu Ping was appointed as the deputy envoy of salt and iron. Who can compare with his connections in this industry? Just now there was a news of the tea method, someone came up with his own idea and wanted to drag Xu Chang into the water.

This time it was nothing more than a test. If you were rejected, there would definitely be many means to use it later. The benefits involved in this industry are too great, and there are countless ministers and nobles trapped in it, so it is so easy to shake it.

If Zhao Zhen hadn't asked about it personally, if Xu Ping didn't really want to lie about such a thing, I don't know how long it would take for him to make up his mind to uncover the lid.

The sun gradually sets down the mountain. The evening wind in winter is full of biting coolness. The greenhouse, which once had infinite scenery during the day, shivered in the cold wind. Xu Chang and Sun Qilang directed their servants to close the door of the greenhouse and seal it tightly, so that the green in the shed can avoid the invasion of the bitter cold wind.

Xu Ping stood in the backyard, and Ren Hanfeng blew past him, staring blankly into the distance.

For the first time, Xu Ping felt how difficult it was to gain a foothold in this era. He felt even afraid. In a trance, he even regretted being an official, which made him stand in the storm of this era.

I originally wanted to be rich and prosperous all my life, but I didn't want to keep up with the constant turmoil. Xu Ping was not afraid of doing things, was a person for two lives, was full of knowledge, and no matter how difficult it was, Xu Ping felt that he could do it. But Xu Ping really didn't want to fight with others, especially not wanting to fight wits and courage with the top talents of this era in such things. Even if he could live by himself, that kind of life would be too tiring. Xu Ping was not Ding Wei, so he couldn't enjoy it in that kind of thing.

Since high school, Xu Ping hoped that he could be like Feng Zheng of Tanhua in the previous dynasty. Everyone laughed at him for being uneducated, but finally became the prime minister and enjoyed honors during his lifetime. In the last years of his life, he joined forces with Qian Weiyan to defeat Ding Wei, and then Wang Zeng to defeat Qian Weiyan. He also let Kou Zhun, who had been despised for his whole life, and finally became the prime minister. Even if he was played with behind him and made his children and grandchildren cheated by villains on the street, he would be willing.

Originally, Ding Wei, a smart man from this era, was a warning, but before he knew it, Xu Ping found that he had taken the wrong path and began to step into Ding Wei's footsteps. The errand of the deputy envoy of salt and iron was like this, and what he wanted to do began to be similar.

(Note: After Feng Zheng passed away, someone in Kaifeng gave birth to a small donkey, and the word "Feng Zheng" was vaguely on the donkey's belly. In order to avoid being ridiculed, the Feng family bought the donkey at a high price, but was afraid that it would be Feng Zheng's reincarnation and would be very delicious and well-drink until he died. This is actually a common trick to mock Feng Zheng for being the prime minister, but he has no so-called knowledge.)
