Chapter 226
Wei Minwen met Wei Minwu by chance.
Wei Minwen went to Heyuan this time and deliberately chose a time when the year-end war was a little slow. The road has been walked all over again, and the boat boss who accompanied the boat is also a figure with a head and a face on the waterway, and the face is extremely wide. When Wei Minwen went, he brought a boatload of silk and a boatload of porcelain, and the rest was also the scarce daily use in Heyuan.
The journey was smooth, and the things I brought with me were quickly delivered. Because there are acquaintances with them, the grain harvest is also smooth.
But on the way back, there was an accident.
Even at the end of the year, their fleet did not dare to take the ordinary waterway, after all, in wartime, they were not only afraid of meeting Liu Shenzhou's people, but also worried about meeting the soldiers of the imperial court. At this time, the food is the most expensive, and everyone on all sides is greedy, and these ruffians don't care who your stuff is, how did it come about? As long as it passes their eyes, it doesn't want to come back.
Therefore, the waterway they chose was mostly in the mountains and sparsely populated.
There is a mountain at the junction of Heyuan and Luoping, which is connected to the southwest hinterland, which is the most sinister, and there are often mountain bandits. However, the boss of the boat made a charter ticket, and he had gone on a trip, so Wei Minwen didn't worry much.
Who knew that after the ship entered the mountain, the mountain bandits did not meet them, but something happened in the nest. The boss of the ship had long taken a fancy to this batch of grain, and was ready to start in this place. first took the medicine and poured most of the medicine brought by Wei Minwen. Wei Minwen was protected by Yu Erhu, but he escaped.
These boats of things are all the belongings of the Fu and Wei families, and Wei Minwen is naturally reluctant to let go, so he simply promised a lot of money and took the rest of the people to fight against the boat boss. There happened to be a gang of horses passing by. Helped a lot. Otherwise, Wei Minwen would not be able to come back alive. It's hard to say.
Wei Minwen talked about the distress, his face was still a little pale, "This gang of horses is one of your second brother's subordinates, he is now a pot leader, and there are more than a dozen gang under his command, and he is considered to be the number one person in the southwest." His business, wait for him to come back, let him tell you. ”
Zhang Xing listened to it for a while. I can't figure it out. When Wei Minwu left, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and now he is only in his early twenties, but in just a few years, there has been such a great creation.
Wei Minwen seemed to be a little embarrassed, and was questioned by Zhang Xing several times before he said: "Your second sister-in-law is the only daughter of the Yun family's business name Yun Boss. ”
"Yun Clan's firm?" Zhang Xing muttered. Since she began to run the Splendid Pavilion, she has not heard much of the name of the Yun family's firm. It is the largest business in the southwest, and there are commercial houses all over the country, but it is not these commercial houses that it relies on the most. It's the caravan at hand.
The southwest is different from the Jianghuai area, where there are many mountains. There is little flat land, and most of the freight to and from is relying on horse gangs. These horses go to all parts of the world, and they bring all kinds of curiosities. If it is said that there is no business without ships in the Jianghuai area, then it is difficult to move an inch without horses in the southwest business. The Yun family is in charge of the largest horse gang in the southwest, and its horse legs are heard to have nearly 1,000 people, and seventy or eighty percent of the horses and goods are in the hands of the Yun business.
Wei Minwu originally went to the southwest, she remembered that when he left, he said that he was going to the northwest to run the horse gang, so she paid special attention to the things in the northwest, but it turned out that he was not going to the northwest but to the southwest. However, the horse racing gang did not have a fixed point, and it is not surprising that they go from southwest to northwest.
Wei Minwu also married a wife, and her second sister-in-law was actually the only daughter of Yun Zhentian, the Yun family's firm. Yun Zhentian's matter, Zhang Xing has also heard of it, this person is very powerful, he is also from the horse gang, and he has earned a huge industry with his bare hands, but he is not blessed for long, so he went in the middle of this year. It was his son-in-law who took over the business.
When Zhang Xing heard the news, he was just a legend, where did he think that Yun Zhentian's son-in-law would actually be Wei Minwu?
"I met with your second brother, and he wants to take your second sister-in-law home together, but I need to wait for the things in Anyang to be arranged before I can come back, I guess it was a year ago. "Wei Minwen didn't count it so much, but Zhang Xing is getting married, Wei Minwu will definitely get the news, according to his temperament, he will definitely rush back before Zhang Xing goes out.
When Wei Minwu left home, he killed the overseer and escaped in the construction of a new capital in Anyang, and Ande was accused of rebellion. He is coming back now, and he can't show up for this crime.
The news brought by Wei Minwen was too shocking, and Zhang Xing had not completely come back to his senses. Wei Minwen glanced at Zhang Xing, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, he has his own sense of proportion in the affairs of Anyang, and he will definitely return safely." ”
Zhang Xing didn't worry about this, since Wei Minwu had already taken over the Yun family's business, then the matter on Anyang's side was not a big deal for him. She was just still in shock.
"I haven't told my father about your second brother's coming back, so don't talk about it for the time being. Wei Minwen confessed again.
Zhang Xing nodded. She knew the severity. After all, the matter on the Anyang side has not been completely resolved, and many families here know that Wei Minwu killed the overseer and escaped, and the imperial court even sent someone to arrest him. If it is publicized at this time, it is inevitable that trouble will come to the door.
Wei Minwen left after saying this, and he still had a bunch of things to arrange. This time, the ship brought back not only grain, but also some tea and jade in the southwest, which were more expensive than grain, and he had to settle down quickly; as well as Zhang Xing's dowry, he also had to quickly come up with a charter.
Wei Minwu stayed in Weijiazhuang for one night, then went back to Zhanghe Town, asked Yu Erhu to call Uncle Fu back, and told him the news that Wei Minwu was coming back.
Uncle Fu cried on the spot, and was damaged by Uncle Fu in front of his daughter and son-in-law. Uncle Fu didn't care, he only wiped his tears and said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's your mother who blesses him, and he will be obedient." ”
Wei Minwen looked at Uncle Fu and said in embarrassment: "Uncle, what about these things that Min Wu brought?" He now only has a rice shop and a cloth village on hand. The tea and jade that Wei Minwu brought back are rare here, and these are the most profitable, but he has no relevant business, and he has to pawn things to other merchants, not to mention that he is reluctant, that is, no one here in Zhanghe Town and Yuxian County can eat such good things, and they are scattered, and the rules of this place are only afraid that they will be affected.
Uncle Fu wiped away his tears and looked at everything carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, "This thing can't be sold all at once." ”
Wei Minwen nodded, "I know this." "But you can't just pile it up in the Fu family's rice shop.
Uncle Fu thought for a while and said, "You hurry up tomorrow to find Ermazi on the street, and ask who in the town is going to sell the yard recently, regardless of the price, as long as the place is suitable, you just have to take it first, and tell the outside world that this is a yard for your sister." Now that the yard is in hand, let's move these things first. ”
The Fujia rice shop sells rice, and people come and go, and it is the most complicated, and everyone has to fill their stomachs this year. This year, the water is large, and the Jianghuai region is unanimously in arrears. Although the price of grain is rising, few families dare to run to the source of the river.
When Wei Minwen's boat arrived at the wharf, everyone in the town saw it, and everyone knew that the Fu family's rice shop had food and money. The things that Wei Minwu brought back couldn't be hidden.
Sometimes if there is too much money, it is a disaster, especially if you don't have the ability to keep it well.
The example of Yu'an Zhao Dashan is ahead, and their family can't take the back road.
"What are you looking for?" Uncle Fu interjected, "Doesn't Liu Dahu on East Street have a yard to sell? It's just that the price he wants is high, and he hasn't made a move yet!"
Fu Xianglian also nodded, "That yard is good, the place is big, and it's not far from our house." ”
Zhanghe Town is so big, Uncle Fu has lived in the town for most of his life, and he knows where the yard shop is. As soon as Uncle Fu Xianglian said it, he knew that it was indeed a good place. Immediately, he pointed at Wei Minwen and said, "Min Wen, you go to Liu Dahu now and discuss the matter of buying his yard." ”
Wei Minwen went out to discuss the matter of buying a yard with Liu Dahu, and Uncle Fu was still looking at these things brought by Wei Minwu, looked at them for a while, and said: "These things can't be pawned out, so I will keep them for Min Wu." "Wei Minwu married Yun Jingzhi of the Yun family firm and took over the Yun family's business, but he is too young to stand firm. These things still have to be kept for him, so that he can use them in the future.
Uncle Fu sneered, "You old man, these things are rare in our place, and they may be common in his place!
Uncle Fu still shook his head, "I still can't move." ”
When Aunt Fu saw Uncle Fu's appearance, she was really lazy to say it.
Uncle Fu sighed, and said, "Why did you say that Min Wu went to the southwest?" and ran to the horse gang?" Without waiting for Uncle Fu to answer, he said again, "I don't know how much he suffered, so he can be stable today." ”
Wei Minwu was sixteen or seventeen years old when he left home, whether he married the Yun family and got the Yun family's business name, or had someone else to help him, if he himself was not able to stand up, he would never have come to this point. Naturally, there have been countless hardships in this. Uncle Fu glanced at Uncle Fu and didn't squeak.
Liu Dahu's yard was quickly discussed, and after Aunt Fu cleaned up the inside with people, she moved the things over, hid them secretly, and left Hu Chun to see the yard.
The grain that Wei Minwen brought back was distributed to his grain stores in various places. When everything was arranged, he began to prepare for his sister-in-law's marriage. He is not as good as his father Wei Yunhai, he thinks that the land in the Jianghuai area is really not good, and it is far inferior to the shop. He planned to divide twenty or thirty acres of land on Wei Yunhai's hand to his sister-in-law. He has recently added several new shops in Liuwan Jinzhou, Yuxian County, including two that he prepared for his sister-in-law. (To be continued......)
