Yao Hongfang showed the attitude of a professional antique dealer, which surprised Su Changsheng.
Is the first round of negotiations concluded?
He held back his surprise and secretly told himself not to relax too early.
"This time when I come from Shandong, Alang asked me to bring a lot of things worth seeing for the officials to take a look at."
Su Changsheng took out a wooden box. After opening it, he took out the antiques and treasures inside and gave them to professional Yao Hongfang for appreciation.
"Okay, these gold items look old."
As a professional, Yao Hongfang could tell at a glance that these graceful and magnificent treasures and antiques were of great value, and some of them were quite old.
"Who did you get it from?"
Yao Hongfang held a gold vessel with a tissue and admired it carefully.
"They were all collected from the homes of powerful and high-ranking officials in the Jin Kingdom. Almost all the homes of powerful and high-ranking officials on Shandong East Road were confiscated by us. Of course, not all of them were from Alang's army, but also from other armies. Ours is only a part of this, not counting. many."
"Well, when the Central Plains fell, all the wealth for many years went into the hands of the Jin Kingdom's powerful people, making them rich overnight. All of these things are worth a lot of money."
Yao Hongfang put down the goldware in his hand, put away the tissues, and said, "You want copper coins, right?"
"It's best to use copper coins. If you don't have copper coins, gold or silver will do."
"It takes some effort to convert gold and silver into copper coins. In the Kingdom of Jin, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty are the best things. It is quite affordable to buy things in short distances. Let's do this. I will find some ways to help you get copper coins. The profits from these things will be yours. How do you want to divide it?"
Yao Hongfang showed the channel dealer's face and looked at Su Changsheng with a smile.
Su Changsheng knew this clearly.
Su Yonglin's bottom line for him was a 50-50 split, because Yao Hong had to take risks if he released the goods, and they would take even more risks if they seized the goods. The risks were equal for both parties.
"Seven or three points, I am seven, the official is three."
Su Changsheng opened his mouth wide.
Yao Hong smiled.
"If my guess is correct, your Alang's bottom line for you should be 50/50, right?"
Su Changsheng was stunned.
"Hunter, I have been doing what you are good at for decades. Don't underestimate the secret efforts of a private salt dealer. In order to save my life and make more money, I have to do a lot of things that ordinary people can't even think of. Things, by the way, have you forgotten that I am also a private salt dealer?"
Yao Hongfang mocked Su Changsheng silently.
Su Changsheng was a little annoyed, but he still had to swallow his anger.
He realized that this man was also a private salt dealer like Su Yonglin. It was normal to be ruthless and vicious. His experience in the industry was far beyond that of Su Yonglin. There was no reason to lag behind Su Yonglin in terms of professional level.
Intelligence, lurking, fake news, water warfare.
This kind of private salt dealer must have special skills. No one will fall behind. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you are beaten, you will be finished or die.
Yao Hong has been unfaithful for twenty years. How can his ability be estimated by ordinary people?
It seemed that even if he was 100% prepared today, as long as Yao Hong thought about it, he would still be unable to escape death.
The class has done something wrong.
Thinking of this, Su Changsheng broke into a cold sweat.
"Been taught a lesson."
Su Changsheng chose to give in.
Yao Hongfang laughed proudly, then stroked his beard and sighed.
"Seventy-three, let's just say seventy-three. I won't argue with you anymore. You really need money. These 30% of the income should be regarded as my hard work. There are so many treasures and antiques. I don't dare to just throw them away in one breath." If they all take action, something will happen.
I have to ship the goods in batches, places and times. Sometimes I have to hand it over to other people to help me ship the goods. I have to hide my lair, collect coins for you, and deliver them to you in hiding. At the seaside, for all this hard work, charging three cents of hard work is not too much, right? "
Su Changsheng did the math and felt that if he really took care of all these things, even if it was a 50-50 split, Su Yonglin wouldn't suffer.
This seventy-three percent is almost equivalent to doing charity.
Does he like to do charity?
"Does the official really not need to split it half and half?"
Yao Hong laughed.
"Hahahahaha! Why, I don't collect enough, and you're worried?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I mean...does the official do this because he believes that Alang can do something great?"
"Just because your Alang can train you to this point, I think he is a person who can do great things."
"…………"
Su Changsheng did not expect that Yao Hongfang would see the problem from this perspective.
"You call him Alang, and you are master and servant. At least in the past, if someone from your family's servant family can let him take so much trouble to train you, and let you have such conversation and skills, it is obvious that he has put in a lot of effort and great effort. He is determined and well-prepared, not hot-headed, I believe this."
Yao Hongfang talked eloquently.
Su Changsheng was silent for a while, and then laughed.
"Officials may not believe it. For every person who rebels with Alang, Alang will teach him literacy and teach him how to read and understand principles."
Yao Hongfang was stunned.
"Every?"
"Every."
Yao Hongfang's brows furrowed into a tic-tac-toe shape, and his small eyes revealed great doubts.
"Why?"
“If you are illiterate and do not read, you will not be able to understand the truth. If you cannot understand the truth, you will not understand why you are fighting. If you cannot understand why you are fighting, once you encounter a setback, the whole army will inevitably scatter. On the contrary, the more frustrated you are, the more courageous you will become. Till death."
Such words came from the mouth of Su Changsheng, a former domestic servant, and Yao Hongfang couldn't help but question what goals, emotions and determination Su Yonglin had in pursuing such a career.
What goal does he want to achieve before he can spare no effort and expend so much effort to find a link beyond profit?
After thinking for a long time, Yao Hongfang couldn't think of a reason, so he could only sigh deeply.
"What did my old friend teach this child to be like?"
"If there is a chance in the future, the officials will see that Alang is so radiant! Especially when he stands on a high platform and speaks to the people in the audience, he can shine!"
When Su Changsheng mentioned Su Yonglin, his face was full of pride and admiration, and his eyes were filled with Su Yonglin's radiant appearance.
"Wonderful light?"
Yao Hongfang thought for a while, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't imagine what it looked like.
He had been working hard in the Southern Song Dynasty for so many years, and all he had seen were people who were obsessed with profit.
After drinking, I feel like there are monsters and demons all around me, and they are dancing around and showing their teeth and claws at every turn.
Taking a walk at night, you feel like you are seeing hundreds of ghosts walking at night and ghosts and monsters roaming the world.
If Su Yonglin can shine, what kind of light can he shine?
Can this thick dark night be dispelled?
Yao Hongfang, who lacked such knowledge, suddenly felt a little ignorant.
So he smiled helplessly.
"I've seen too many dirty things. I'm used to walking at night. I don't know what the radiant person looks like, and I don't know if I can look directly at him. That's all. That's all. Leave your antiques to me. .”
"Thank you, officer."
"Is there anything else you need my help with?"
"this……"
"Tell me, I am a private salt dealer and I can't protect myself. What are you worried about?"
"It's like this. Alang hopes that we can have a message delivery organization in the Song Kingdom to help him deliver some news related to the Jin Kingdom in the Song Kingdom, so that he can know the latest trends in the Song Kingdom at any time."
Yao Hongfang thought for a while and looked at Su Changsheng.
"The young man of the Su family has not driven out the barbarians, and he wants to get involved in the Song Dynasty? It is good for young people to have lofty goals, but it is not good if they are too greedy and do not know the importance. The Song Dynasty seems to be weak, but even though it was The Kingdom of Jin was as powerful as the devil, but in the end, it only captured half of the country.”
Su Changsheng nodded in agreement.
"This is the reason why Alang chose to rebel in the Kingdom of Jin rather than in the Kingdom of Song. Alang told us very early on that it would be easier to rebel in the Kingdom of Jin than in the Kingdom of Song. At the moment, what Alang wants is to know himself and the enemy, and never slack off in a hundred battles. That’s all.”
Yao Hongfang was a little surprised.
Thinking that Su Yonglin was also a private salt dealer and should have had an in-depth understanding of the social ecology and underlying organizations of the Southern Song Dynasty, he had similar thoughts. However, despite this, Su Yonglin was able to see through the key issues at a glance, so he was a genius.
"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with it."
Yao Hongfang pinched his beard and said: "Nowadays, Jiaxing Mansion is quite peaceful and prosperous with business. If you want to collect more information, of course it is best to choose a place with many business travelers. Although there are many people, it is difficult to see, but it is also convenient. .
I also run a restaurant in this city, and the business is good. Many dignitaries come here to drink and have fun. You might as well work in my restaurant to hide your identity and act secretly. I will never interfere. You can do whatever you want. How about I provide you with shelter if necessary? "
Su Changsheng was stunned
"Is this really okay?"
"It all depends on whether you are willing. If you are willing, I will accept it. If you have any doubts, I will never force you. I am just making a suggestion. After all, it will be somewhat inconvenient for you to act here without a proper identity."
Yao Hongfang picked up the tea bowl and drank again.
Su Changsheng weighed the pros and cons and thought for a moment.
"It's a new arrival. I'm not familiar with the place and I don't have a household registration certificate. It's really difficult to do anything. In this case, I have to rely on the officials to take care of me."
"It's good to follow what is good."
Yao Hongfang was very happy and asked: "What is your name? What are you doing next to Yuting?"
"Su Changsheng, who grew up with A Lang, came from a poor farmer's family. Now he is doing some intelligence gathering around A Lang. He is just a spy and dare not bother the officials."
"Su Changsheng, who is literate and understands the truth, is still just a spy? Hahahahaha!"
Yao Hongfang read the name again, smiled for a while, and then nodded: "I remember it. After dinner, you come back with me and I will settle you down."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Su Changsheng nodded, accepted Yao Hongfang's invitation, and then the two of them started eating.
