Qin Feng glanced at the four large boxes of gold and silver jewelry and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Brother Zhao, you are not a real person."
"What's the use of all these fancy things?"
"Except for the box of silver, it's pretty decent. The remaining gold, coral, and pearl agate, taken together, are worth twenty thousand taels of silver."
"Not to mention whether these 120,000 taels of silver can replace Zhao Zan."
"Just your cleverness proves that you have no sincerity."
Qin Feng sneered in his heart.
This Zhao Li clearly thinks of himself as a bumpkin from the north.
He didn't have much knowledge, but his eyes lit up when he saw the jewelry.
As everyone knows, Qin Feng has no interest in jewelry at all, and he is not even interested in gold.
Nothing is worth the money.
Especially the coral tree, it's ridiculous.
It is estimated to be worth about five thousand taels. If placed at home, it would certainly look very impressive.
But for a pragmatic person like Qin Feng, it is worthless.
As for gold, although it can be used as a substitute for silver, it is limited to the imperial court or internal transactions among wealthy families.
It is almost uncirculated among the people and is very troublesome to spend.
To put it bluntly, only silver is the hard currency.
Seeing Qin Feng's disdainful look, Zhao Li couldn't help but take a deep breath and pretend to be calm.
"As expected of Mr. Qin, I have indeed seen it before."
"These jewels are just a little thought from me. Since Mr. Qin doesn't like them, it doesn't matter."
"Just exchange it into silver."
"Young Master Qin is a cheerful man. Let's just make a price. How much will it cost to let my brother go?"
Qin Feng put down the tea cup, crossed his hands on his knees, and looked at Zhao Li with a smile.
For some reason, Zhao Li's back felt cold when he felt Qin Feng's eyes.
It was as if Qin Feng had already seen through his own thoughts.
No……
Absolutely impossible!
Qin Feng is similar in age to himself, how can he have such vicious eyesight?
Zhao Li couldn't help but take a few more deep breaths to calm down his restless mood.
At this moment, Qin Feng's voice sounded, straightforward.
"How boring is it to exchange money for life?"
“As the old saying goes, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.”
"No matter how much money you have, one day it will be spent."
"If you really want to save Zhao Zan, then I will give you three days to pack your bags, count your personnel, and leave Yanshou County."
"In this way, you can save Zhao Zan without spending a penny. Isn't it a profitable business?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li's fists suddenly tightened.
The image of a handsome young man was completely wiped out.
Drink loudly immediately.
"Qin Feng, you have gone too far!"
"I have repeatedly given in, but you are aggressive."
"This Yanshou County is the lifeblood of our Zhao family, how can we retreat?"
"If you take away Yanshou County, you will take away the lives of my Zhao family!"
"Don't you want Yanshou County? Well, just lead people into the city and kill all my Zhao family, otherwise, don't even think about it!"
Zhao Li was furious.
If Qin Feng is willing to give a real number, it may be three hundred thousand taels or five hundred thousand taels.
Zhao Li gritted his teeth and could take it out. Who would let him be such a brother?
But……
Qin Feng wanted to drive the Zhao family out of Yanshou County.
In this way, wouldn't all the northern grain industry be included in the Qin family's pocket?
The profits will be countless.
Zhao Zan, who was originally hopeful, suddenly turned pale when he saw his eldest brother actually yelling with Qin Feng.
He kept winking at Zhao Li, telling him not to touch the tiger's butt.
Of course, Zhao Li noticed Zhao Zan's eyes, but he pretended not to see it, cursing in his heart that this brat was really someone who couldn't help him.
Faced with Zhao Li's scolding, Qin Feng still smiled in return.
After all, I had long expected that Zhao Li would react like this.
Qin Feng was not in a hurry, Yun Danfeng gently plucked his fingers and started calculating.
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I'll fight with you."
"This Yanshou County occupies the core position of the grain road, connecting the past and the next."
“Food from the north and food from the south have to pass through Yanshou County.”
"Whoever controls Yanshou County will have a say in the entire Daliang grain industry."
"Once our Qin's Grain Company takes over Yanshou County."
"Adhering to the principle of buying and selling equally, we only earn a penny of profit to maintain the normal operation of the grain account."
"Then, this extra profit will flow into the hands of the people along with the food."
"In this way, we can return wealth to the people."
"As long as the people can afford to eat food, they will have extra money and energy to train future generations and provide us with materials to build our beams."
"This goes back and forth, a virtuous cycle, why should I worry about not being prosperous?"
Speaking of this, Qin Feng's eyes narrowed and suddenly became sharp.
"On the contrary, all this profit was earned by the major grain merchant families."
"People are running around for food and clothing and have no time to care about anything else."
"If the people are poor, the country will be weak. In such a vicious cycle, the country will not be able to survive."
Lin Ziyi on the side, although she has always been adhering to the principle of buying and selling equally, she has been murmuring in her heart.
I don't understand why Qin Feng insists on wasting his energy.
After all, everyone in the world knows that Qin Feng is a greedy man.
I just think about how to make money.
Now, after listening to Qin Feng's remarks, Lin Ziyi suddenly realized.
It turns out that the people who really care about the prosperity of Daliang are actually the money-grubbing businessmen that people say.
Zhao Li in front of him couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.
"Hahaha, Mr. Qin, you are really a living Bodhisattva."
"As the saying goes."
"Man will die for money, and birds will die for food! It is natural for businessmen to pursue profit."
"If all the businessmen in the world do what you do, how can there be a business like this?"
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows: "There are so many profitable businesses, I only care about the food industry!"
"Food is the foundation of the country and must not be in the hands of profiteers."
Zhao Li did not give in and shouted: "You saved your country, why should my Zhao family be buried with you?"
“What kind of hero is being generous to others?”
Qin Feng couldn't reach the word "hero", so he quickly leaned back and said modestly: "I am not a hero, on the contrary."
"It's not just a day or two that the celebrities and powerful people in Kyoto have called me a scum. I already have so many lice that I don't mind itching."
Zhao Li snorted: "You are just a profiteer!"
"Your uncanny skills and money-making tricks have already made you famous."
Qin Feng slapped his thigh and agreed very much with Zhao Li's evaluation.
"Yes, I am a profiteer."
"Because he is a profiteer, he is good at calculations. As long as you eliminate your Zhao family, you can exchange for the food and clothing of half the people of Liang."
"It's a good deal."
Zhao Li clenched his fists tightly and stared at Qin Feng: "I don't care about the common people!"
"I only care about the Zhao family!"
"If you want to take away my Zhao family's business, I will fight you to the death!"
