Chapter 041: The Prohibition is Strict

After all, the weight of forty-six catties is a bit too much for her.

She went to Dengzhou and asked the old craftsman of Honglufang to customize a forty-two-pound black gold bangyun.

She swapped out a piece of red gold that her father had given her. Twenty taels, half of which is exchanged for money, gives eighty cents. took out 30 yuan and lent it to Chen Zhe, and allocated 50 yuan of shares by himself.

The Zhangjiang Brigade is mighty and neat, bidding farewell to the small family, and looking at the Geqi Garden to buy bamboo.

In the back of the White Horse County Office, the fifth brother Mu Yu explained it well.

The Yicheng Army marched Sima Wanglingtong sighed for the difficulty of his father and others.

The eldest brother, Linggu Liangguang of Baima County, the third brother Gexian Yuyun, and the fourth brother of Liyang County, Cheng Yuxiang, also deeply felt the hardships of the traffickers, and they were more proud of the eight dealers.

When it came to the twentieth day of the lunar month, he immediately sacrificed to the stove.

Mu Yu rode his horse and galloped between Qiyuan and the Yellow River, passing information back and forth.

One day, the Yicheng Army Festival Envoy, Huazhou Thorn History, Inspection School Engineering Department Shangshu, and Imperial History Doctor Xue Ping Xue Tantu, led the Xiuhe dispatch to make Wusi Ren, Xiuhe join the army Wang in and out, riding a horse Jane, patrolling the river to supervise the work.

The Yicheng army marched Sima Huawei traffic envoy Wanglingtong, Liyang County Ling Gongmeng, and the county Cheng Xiang to catch each other. A group cruised the river until the evening and rested at the Liyang County Office.

Gongmeng invited Xue Shangshu to the back residence of the county office and set up a wine and banquet.

In the seat, Mu Yu sang a song to cheer up, and Xue Shangshu couldn't help but ask.

Wang Lingtong revealed her life experience, saying that she is currently participating in the trafficking of Zhangjiang Brigade and is one of the eight major traffickers.

A few days ago, the Great Battle of Lishan Pass protected the tin business.

Now it is doing the trafficking of bamboo for repairing the river, all of which are good bamboos in Qiyuan, but the value is lower than that of the market.

said a lot, but he didn't dare to disclose the details of the eight major dealers, for fear that something would happen.

The imperial legal code is very clear about the pulling and pulling between officials and merchants. Anyone who has a business in the family is not allowed to enter the office. If an official is in charge of a certain thing or a place, and any family member is involved in commercial affairs, it is a crime.

mentioned selling bamboo, which aroused Xue Ping's great interest. Immediately, the Wu Temple Ren and the king went in and out, called from the other palace to the front, and asked about the value of bamboo.

The dispatch of the river repair made Wusi Ren Yu say: At present, on the west bank of the Yellow River for 80 miles, the river expansion project has started on the whole line. 10,000 migrant workers, a team of 50 people, and a team of 200.

Each team has five fires, one fire to drill the soil to expand the road, three fires to pick up the soil to the embankment, and one fire to raise the embankment. Each team leader and fire commander are responsible.

Each team picks up three fires, thirty people, two hundred teams of six hundred fires, six thousand porters, and needs to pick 12,000 baskets.

Only one pickle, and a new handshake is replaced every five days. According to the caliber of three inches of bamboo, three zhang long, a big bamboo out of 30 catties of bamboo strips, can be made of five baskets. Within five days, the craftsman had made 12,000 baskets, which required 2,400 bamboos.

If it is a two-inch bamboo, each one produces 20 catties of bamboo strips, and three bamboos can be woven into ten dustpans. Purely with Chinese bamboo, it is 3,600 medium bamboo.

If the diameter of less than two inches of bamboo, each out of ten catties of bamboo strips, six small bamboos can be woven into ten pinched baskets, pure use of small bamboo, need 7,200.

These bamboo poles weigh 600 stones. Each cart pulls ten stones, and it takes sixty oxen and horse-drawn carts.

Wu Temple finished the dosage, Xue Ping Xue Tantu asked the king to go in and out to calculate the value.

Xiuhe joined the army and said: At present, bamboo is used, large, medium and small bamboo, with an average value of three and five per catty, and four hundred and twenty wen of stone. Every five days, 600 stones of bamboo are used, which is 252 stones. Six times a month, 3,600 stones of bamboo are used, which is 1,512 times. Take the whole number, use 1,500 bamboo per month.

The use of bamboo is the main expenditure of the entire river repair project, accounting for 20% of the total expenditure.

The tax is customized, according to the dynasty, 1000 taxes are 20, and the monthly tax is 30 yuan.

Dealers in various places make a profit of 150 yuan per month according to the profit of tithes after tax.

The oxen and horse-drawn carts earned the freight, the restaurants and wine shops along the way earned the meal expenses, the carpenter profited, the bamboo knife saw, the carpenter knife saw the flood furnace was beneficial, and the profit of the bamboo farmer went without saying.

At present, the construction of the whole line of the river is being expanded, and the people of Weizhou County are all participating in the war, which is not only a century-old plan, but also a wealth for the people. Lord Shangshu's kindness, the people of the slippery guard will not forget it for generations.

The project is huge, and the amount of material used in each item is very staggering. It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked. Wang Lingtong was surprised and delighted, happy that his father and others would be able to make a profit, and was surprised that such a large amount of data was afraid of mistakes.

According to what Mu Yu said, this time the sale of bamboo will be fully invested.

Wang, Fan, and Chang each invested 100 yuan. Chen Zhizhi's original share capital was 50 yuan, 20 yuan was profitable, 30 yuan was borrowed from lacquer carving hui, and 100 yuan was also invested. Lacquer carving Hui invested 50 times.

A total of 450 yuan of share capital.

What about Mu Yu? There are only a dozen yuan.

Wanggaozhi asked him to give fifty taels of silver from Pan's Mansion as share capital and handed it over to his father Wangyun. The eight vendors will have exactly 500 yuan in money.

This money can purchase bamboo poles at least 1,800 stone at a time. It is basically enough for three five-day dustpans, and the construction period is half a month. The profit can not be greedy, the estimated construction period is 60 days, and at least two trips can be sold. When all are completed, you can basically earn 300 yuan.

The problem is that once someone reports it, Wangyun is the father of Wanggao who is the sliding guard traffic envoy, and things are complicated. Whether you make money or not is a small matter, and it is very likely to commit crimes.

The law of the six officials of the imperial dynasty said: All officials and cohabitants who have made great achievements or above, are self-employed in industry and commerce, and specialize in their own business, are not allowed to enter the office. Relatives doing business in the place where they are imprisoned are punished severely.

The so-called relatives of great merit are brothers and sisters under the same grandfather.

The high heart groaned, not knowing what to do.

Afraid of what comes. Xue Shangshu rewarded Wusi Ren and Wang with a few glasses of wine and took them away. turned to whisper to Wanglingtong: "My Wangsima, you and I both know the laws of the Six Scribes. Mu Yu Nell and other righteous brothers, how to deal with the matter of selling bamboo?"

Wang Lingtong immediately dripped, and hurriedly replied: "The future of the next official depends on the care of Lord Shangshu." Although Mu Yu is not a great family, he also needs to be guarded against. ”

Xue Shangshu smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder: "When I go back to Huazhou tomorrow afternoon, I have something to say in this town." ”

Drink until late that night and go to sleep.

Mu Yu was half-drunk, and Wang Lingtong helped each other, and the two of them inevitably grinded their ears and temples.

Early the next morning, Xue Shangshu and others had breakfast and got on the horse and returned.

Wang Lingtong was busy until noon, hastily eating, and rushed to Huazhou.

Mu Yu also beat the horse and followed, seeing that his face was ugly, he was afraid that something would happen.

In the middle of the afternoon, it was time for the handsome tent. Mu Yu stayed outside the gate. Wanglingtong doesn't need to be polite, just go in. Seeing Xue Shangshu and others inside, there was no one else around.

Wang Lingtong and Mu Yu fought all the way, discussing and pondering all the way. Xue Shangshu has always been a fair and upright person, with strict rewards and punishments, he must have guessed that his father was in business. Otherwise, he would not have summoned himself alone.

Therefore, Wang Lingtong saw that there was no one else, turned over and knelt down to him: "Lord Shangshu save me." ”

Xue Tantu came over and helped him up, and said with a slight smile: "The imperial law, for an official, there is no business. Between officials and businessmen, the chasm is high, the barriers are strict, and the distinction between the two is clear. Ling Zun and Ling Di are in business, both of which are taboos in the dynasty. If it weren't for your loyalty to the Righteous Army, I would have driven you out of the tent. ”

Wang Lingtong turned pale with fright, knelt down again, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Excellency has recreated me for your kindness, and I don't know how to repay it." Your Excellency knows about your father, but you have no complaints. ”

Xue Tantu helped him up again and said, "The reason why I counted you down is because of selfishness. Many mouths are talking about this. Once you are not careful, how can you not do my moderation, that is, the household department, the ritual department, and the military department that selects your reference will be responsible. But at that time, how many people will be offended. ”

The festival made a powerful Chen said, in the month of Da La, counting nine cold days, Wanglingtong's sweat beads are getting bigger and bigger. I was trembling and didn't know how to answer.

Xue Tantu asked him to sit down and said cordially: "I have a way, I heard that Ling Zun and Ling Di are both outstanding in martial arts, why don't you serve under my account." The rest of the dealers will also buy and sell. Although there is a tie between them, there is a master and an apprentice, but they can't get a great relationship. But there is one way, looking at the father and son, but from now on to eradicate the road of business. ”

Wang Lingtong suddenly felt that the clouds had cleared, he took a long breath, and replied: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for setting such a good future for my father and son. ”

After that, I have to kowtow again. Xue Tantu helped him: "These polite words will be avoided from now on." But I don't know if Ling Zun sells bamboo all his life, can he listen to my settlement. ”
