Chapter 178: Counting is Counting
Su Fu no longer had any hope for Yang Cun, and only arranged what Tong Xin was going to do in front of Yang Cun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When Yang Cun left with Tong Xin satisfied, she was alone and quiet again.
Now the situation at the ferry crossing in Xicheng Beicheng is stable, but it depends on her decision.
If she had added a handful of firewood, the fire would have burned to the extreme.
Over the years, the two ferries in the northwest of Jiangning City have been like scattered sand, most of them because businessmen don't look down on these small profits, and she will not be regarded as a threat from here.
She didn't plan to be so fast, but Yang Cun stepped in sideways, which greatly accelerated her movements.
After all, the Yang family discovered the cattiness of the ferry so quickly, and other businessmen should also pay attention.
But other businessmen are not like Yang's.
Yang Cun came directly to her and told her that the cooperation was not in the name of the Yang family, but in the name of Yang Cun himself.
And the reason given by Yang Cun is even more laughable.
Can the Yang family really cultivate the simple character that Yang Cun shows today and does not understand business opportunities?
She didn't know.
But although this matter revealed a little unusual, she still accepted the offer.
After that, everything is unknown.
Since Yang Cun voluntarily jumped into the water, she would not let him climb ashore cleanly.
She prospered, and she died.
She temporarily changed her plan and asked Gao Yang to bring Liu Cheng over.
When the Tong Xin brought by Yang Cun yesterday spontaneously arrived at the Xicheng ferry, Liu Cheng had already commanded Lifu to pick up a boatload of goods, and there was no ship at the wharf at the moment, which was a good time to rest.
A few Lifu gathered in a bunch, talking and laughing loudly, and Liu Cheng sat in the makeshift shed, not knowing what he was thinking.
For Liu Cheng, Tong Xin's identity as a member of the Yang family arrived at the ferry, and Liu Cheng was extremely unwelcome, but thinking that Su Fu must have his own intentions, he still got up and dealt with Tong Xin.
Merchants are flexible, and Tong Xin is no exception, and he naturally recognizes Liu Cheng's identity, which is known to almost the whole city, and is extremely curious about Su Fu's dare to appoint such a criminal minister's son.
However, looking at the orderly ferry, I couldn't help but admire.
Liu Cheng and Tong Xin roughly exchanged views on the tasks assigned by Su Fu, and only then did they come up with a safe way, that is, when the merchant ship came, they went together to inform the steward of the merchant ship, and each piece of cargo rose to ten cents, three more than before, and the profits deducted from the merchant ship steward were taken back one by one.
After the negotiations, a merchant ship arrived.
Liu Cheng and Tong Xin glanced at each other and went to the dock together.
As soon as the steward of the merchant ship heard that the price had been raised again, he almost jumped to his feet and scolded the street, although he was scolding, but he had no way to take Liu Cheng and Tong Xin, and he didn't want to agree, so he spent it on the ship.
The steward of the merchant ship felt that he was going to spend it here, until they were willing to move things at the original price.
Tong Xinyi frowned, knowing that it would take at least half an hour to go on like this, but Liu Cheng was unwilling to compromise, so they had to wait here.
It was about a quarter of an hour, but Liu Cheng left Tong Xin and went to the steward of the merchant ship alone.
It's also a strange thing, Fang Cai is still a rough and rude steward when he sends Liu Cheng back, he nodded and bowed.
Tong Xin didn't know what Liu Cheng said to the merchant ship steward, but it was a matter of face, so he was embarrassed to ask.
For a few days, they suddenly mentioned to the merchant ships that the wage had risen to ten wen, and every steward was so angry that they jumped to their feet, but in the end, they were comforted by Liu Cheng and obeyed, not only nodded and sent Liu Cheng over, but also agreed with the decision to raise the wage to ten wen.
For five days in a row, Tong Xin couldn't help it after all, and asked Liu Chengdao, "You say a few words to those stewards every day and they agree, what did you say?" ā
Liu Cheng waited for five days, and Tong Xin finally asked.
He turned around and looked disapproving, "It's nothing, I usually only say two words." ā
Tong Xin was even more curious, "What words?" ā
"The first sentence is, do you see the man next to me?"
"The second sentence is that he is a person from the side of the imperial merchant Yang Erlang."
Liu Cheng's voice fell, and it was not surprising to see Tong Xin's entire face darkened.
Tong Xin asked, "Your master said that he would not use the name of our Yang family, how dare you do this privately?" ā
Liu Cheng frowned slightly, as if recalling Fang Cai's words, he came back to his senses and said, "If you heard correctly, I just said Yang Erlang." ā
"When you go back, you can ask your family Langjun, did my master mention the name of Yang Erlang at that time?" Liu Cheng said a word.
"You, you're opportunistic." Tong Xin scolded and left the ferry angrily.
Liu Cheng stood in the distance, looking at Tong Xin's departing back, and couldn't help but sneer, this is the person taught by the Yang family? That's it.
Anyway, there are many merchant ships on the river, and at this moment, I am afraid that the stewards of those merchant ships know that the change of Lifu in the ferry from the beginning is led by the Yang family.
The Yang family is an imperial businessman, if you can not provoke it, you will not provoke it, and a few copper plates can solve it, so why bother to mobilize the public? Let their master know that there must be another bloody storm.
Liu Cheng came back to his senses and saw that the two Lifu he had sent out earlier had returned, and they were also the only two Lifu who were more skilled in driving.
The matter has been done, and the price can be clearly marked after that.
After the merchant ship arrived at the ferry, except for the Lifu to carry the goods off the ship, it was necessary to transport them to the desired shop in a horse-drawn carriage, which used to be found at the city gate, but now it is more convenient to bring the carriage directly to the ferry.
There is a special carriage and horse shop in the carriage rental place in the city, which is not like the Lifu in the ferry, but Su Fu made up his mind to cover the journey from the ferry merchant ship to the shop in the city, so he asked Liu Cheng to find two driving Lifu to rent two carriages, so that Lifu can directly carry the goods onto the carriage and transport them to the shops he needs, which is more time-saving.
And the mode of the integration of the two according to the long road and the nearest, there are a total of 20 wen, 40 wen, than the merchant ship to find a lifu and a carriage alone to save about ten wen, so that although the ship's steward is not washed by the increase in the wages of the lifu, it is easier to rice paper two in one model.
Here are Su Fu's further thoughts on the ferry.
But because there are carriages and horses in the city, this business is more difficult to achieve than the Lifu at the ferry, and this is more difficult to achieve because it takes time to complete.
Su Fu was not in a hurry, and it happened that there was such time.
Liu Cheng also carefully followed Su Fu's instructions and began to put this matter into trial, but after two days, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the steward of the merchant ship really preferred the two-in-one model.
Save time, effort and money, and it's almost impossible to find anything bad.
It's just that Tong Xin, who was taken away by Liu Chengqi two days ago, disappeared for two days, and then went back to the ferry port of the West City Gate, as if nothing had happened before.
On the same day, Yang Cun, the second lang of the Yang family, went to visit Su Fu again. (To be continued.) )
