394 Mouth and Heart
What others noticed was the carriage, and what Xu Wen noticed was also the carriage.
However, most of the eyes of others are focused on the flag of the carriage, paying attention to its origin, and Xu Wen's focus is on its style and the horse pulling the cart.
Compared to what he saw in the Jiangnan area, this batch of carriages in Yue Muxuan was obviously a little different.
They were simpler and heavier, had a lower chassis, and even the legs of the horses pulling the carts were noticeably shorter than those of ordinary ones.
Obviously, these trucks were designed to transport goods in the mountains.
With such a batch of special cars to be transferred in such a short period of time, Yue Muxuan's business is quite big in Ximo......
They may not be as strong as a first-class workshop like Tianzuo Pavilion in terms of strength, but in terms of influence, they may not be weaker than the latter.
However, the merchants benefited for a while, and the high-level craftsmanship was passed down for centuries, and there was a difference between high and low.
Xu Wen thought in his heart, and he had already greeted him.
Yue Muxuan's convoy suddenly appeared here, most people didn't know what was going on, and when they saw Xu Wen's actions, they suddenly realized something, and followed one after another.
There was a person standing in front of the first carriage, who was talking to the coachman, when he saw Xu Wen coming, he looked him up and down, smiled, and greeted him: "Boss Yan, you have finally arrived, you have worked hard." My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Wenxiang. Boss Qi has told you, you are our big customer, you have to say hello. ”
Lu Wenxiang is in his forties, with a medium build, slightly dark skin, and his facial features are actually a little ordinary, a pair of small eyes with single eyelids are always squinted, with deep lines at the corners of his eyes, and he smiles without smiling, which is very attractive.
"That's Boss Qi's politeness, Yue Muxuan is doing a business of tens of millions of taels of silver, what kind of customer am I. This time, it is troublesome for the shopkeeper Lu to go into the mountain to deliver goods, and you are working hard. Xu Wen said with a smile.
Lu Wenxiang smiled, and while greeting him, he looked at Xu Wen quietly.
He is actually also from Jiangnan, but he came to Ximo very early to take charge of the business here for Yue Muxuan. He is exquisite, his vision is broad, and it can be said that Yuemuxuan's rivers and mountains in the Western Desert were all single-handedly beaten down by him.
Not long ago, the Jiangnan headquarters of Yuemuxuan sent a letter to remind Lu Wenxiang that a young craftsman named Yan 14 would go to serve in the Western Desert recently, and he would pass through Jincheng and Shanyuan.
This young man has a great favor to Yue Mu Xuan and holds Yue Mu Xuan's Tianzi token. If he orders a request to Yue Mu Xuan, he can dispatch it within 10,000 taels of silver, and he cannot refuse more than 10,000 taels of silver, but he needs to submit the flying book to the Ministry for approval.
What is the concept of ten thousand taels of silver?
Yue Mu Xuan is now in full swing, and the total revenue of a year can only exceed this amount.
Even if this young man is Qi Zhengze's illegitimate son, he doesn't have the ability to use such a large amount of money!
Since then, Lu Wenxiang has been very curious about this young man named Yan Fourteen.
In his opinion, 10,000 taels of silver are at the mercy of scheduling, which is not something that can be promised simply by repaying the favor, it can only be Yue Muxuan's huge investment in this young man.
How can he be so virtuous that he can be valued like Qi Zhengze?
Lu Wenxiang didn't doubt Qi Zhengzhi's vision, but he really wanted to see each other.
After receiving the letter, he has been waiting for the token of Yan Fourteen.
A young man who has just arrived in the Western Desert is unfamiliar with the place, and there must be many things to ask for. From the content of the request for help, you can see a lot of things about a person.
What will be the content of the first time Yan 14 asks for help?
Sure enough, not long after that team entered Jincheng, he received a token. However, when he saw the random letter, he was completely silent......
"Everything is here, let's order it first?" Lu Wenxiang took the initiative to point to the carriage and said.
"Hmm. Xu Wen did not refuse, and walked directly to the first carriage. Lu Wenxiang greeted, and immediately a young man squatting next to him stood up and approached, and opened the things on the carriage to show him.
The sacks piled up on the carriage were bulging and stuffed.
Yue Mu Xuan's sack is very cleverly made, with ties on both sides, so it is easy to reveal the contents after being undone.
The bag contains thick clothes, the surface of the hemp material, rough but strong, with a thick cotton sandwiched in the middle, which looks very warm.
Xu Wen touched the surface, pinched the inside again, and was very satisfied: "It's better than I thought." It's a hassle to be able to prepare so much so quickly. ”
He sent a letter to Yue Muxuan on the second day of his arrival in Jincheng. This letter should be sent from Jincheng to the person in charge, Lu Wenxiang, and then the goods will be transferred and sent to the designated place......
All of this took only three days in total, and Yue Mu Xuan's energy here was really a bit amazing.
"Haha, it's also a coincidence, it's been getting cold lately, and Xiyuemu was also preparing winter clothes for the people below. Boss Yan's request was exactly the same as ours, so I directly appropriated some of it and sent it over. Lu Wenxiang said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Xu Wen was slightly stunned, "Then Yue Muxuan's own people, won't they be able to wear winter clothes?"
"It's just two days late, so it's okay. When I came out, the weaver girl in the warp and weft workshop was working overtime to make up for this batch of new goods. Lu Wenxiang said.
At this time, Yan Ji came from behind and asked, "What's the matter? Why are so many wagons piled up here?"
Xu Wen and Lu Wenxiang turned back together, and then turned around and saluted Yan Ji together.
Lu Wenxiang faced this big official in the inner cabinet of the capital, he was neither humble nor arrogant, solemn and amiable, but he would not let him be flattering, and his sense of proportion was very good.
"Then there were many mountain roads, and I heard that there were mountain bandits in the mountains, and I heard that the old robbers could tell from the signs of the road whether the team was carrying large sums of gold and silver. I was worried that this silver would attract bandits, so I thought about using it before entering the mountain, so I asked the shopkeeper of Yue Muxuan to help, and rushed to make more than 300 sets of winter clothes, one set for each person, which was just to solve everyone's urgent needs. Xu Wen explained in an orderly manner.
Mobster...... Yan Ji's expression froze, and he instantly woke up.
He has traveled from south to north, and he actually has a lot more experience than Xu Wen. But this time, he really walked into a blind spot.
Of course, he knew that there was a bandit village in the mountains, and even knew what the name of the village was. If he was on his own, he would have been extra vigilant and find a caravan with a dart master to go into the mountains or something.
But this time I took three hundred young and strong young and middle-aged laborers with me, these people still went to serve in the Western Desert, and they were the kind of people who were most unlikely to be rich, normally speaking, it was impossible for robbers to rob anyone.
Yan Ji thought the same way, so his mind didn't turn that way.
So he was negligent, Xu Wen still had more than 400 taels of silver on his body, which was an astonishing amount of money for the group of poor and crazy mountain bandits, enough for them to die for food!
Of course, more than 300 young and strong laborers are also very strong combat effectiveness, but basically they are honest and have never seen blood, so they really want to be taken advantage of by the mountain bandits to do something......
"You're doing the right thing, but I'm not thinking it through. "Yan Ji is not reluctant, if there is a problem, he should admit it.
He groaned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "But the winter clothes of the Western Desert team should have been issued, but the weather changed too quickly and was postponed." You can't pay for it, so you write it down in your account, go back over the mountain and go to the city, and then exchange it for a silver ticket and give it to you. ”
He said very decisively, and the decision had already been made.
Xu Wen's purpose is to solve the problem of the Ximo team, and now that his own expense has become public funds, of course he will not refuse.
After Yan Ji made his decision, he gently patted Xu Wen's shoulder again, and said gently: "I am very touched that you have such a heart for your brothers. Now let's send out the winter coat first, so that everyone will be happy. ”
Xu Wen nodded, and was about to call Yue Muxuan's people to help together, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and stopped Yan Ji, and asked in a low voice: "That money, can you not give me a silver ticket directly?" I want to trust Lord Yan's relationship and order something ......."
"What is it?" Yan Ji asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Judging from Master Qin's codex, there are about a dozen things. Xu asked.
"That's ......," Yan Ji nodded, "Then you go back and make a list for me, and I'll do it for you." ”
Yan Ji was obviously really satisfied this time, and without hesitation, he agreed.
By this time, many people had gathered around them and heard their conversation. They couldn't believe their ears, and after a long while, a smile gradually bloomed on their faces, and their mouths couldn't help but grin.
In their simple hearts, the money was earned by the fourteenth brother, and that was the fourteenth brother's. Eat fragrant and drink spicy food, begging for a daughter-in-law, what is not good?
As a result, the fourteenth brother actually took it out and added a set of winter clothes for each of them?
Even if Lord Yan just said that the money was counted in the public account, Xu Wen also thought about them and made such an action!
Before they could say anything, Xu Wen had already turned around and said to the people around him in a steady and ordinary manner: "The leaders of each group come over and pick up the clothes of each group and send them to their own team members." Senior brother, you can register and ask the person who received it to sign. ”
Xu San answered, found a pen and paper, and got busy.
After a while, a group of people in front of the cave took their belongings, and there was a noisy sound.
Everyone didn't have time to thank Xu Dao, but the strong shock in their hearts at that moment was undoubtedly remembered by everyone.
