Episode 0312: The sun is like fire
June 16, 188.
Chang'an, the sun is like fire.
The weather in June was extremely hot, but it was still not as hot as Shopkeeper Liu's heart at this moment.
It turned out that just now, Chang'an Taishou Peng Yu ordered Wei Ning to serve as the "chief consul" of the merchant group, and the shopkeeper Liu of Mihang served as the "deputy consul" of the merchant group.
asked Shopkeeper Liu to immediately count the people in the business group who needed to travel back and forth to major cities in the near future, and ordered Zhang Liao and Zhang He to be on standby at any time and wait for dispatch.
The position of vice consul general is just appointed by Peng Yu, and it is not a formal official position, but the significance of it is not trivial, as a businessman, Liu clearly knows that the establishment of this business group, making money is inevitable, and as a leader, the benefits are even more indescribable.
What's more, Peng Yu's inadvertent appointment has no meaning for Chang'an officialdom, but it is undoubtedly a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Chang'an's business community.
He released two signals, the first Chang'an business group is imperative, and the second Liu shopkeeper is very favored by Peng Yu.
Peng Yu's reputation for killing made the clan heroes of Chang'an worried, for fear that one sentence or one thing would anger Peng Yu and bring ruin to his family.
In fact, many heroes are willing to befriend Peng Yu, but the status of businessmen in the Han Dynasty is very low, where are they qualified to meet Peng Yu? can't meet Peng Yu, let alone offer advice, in this case, the heroes want to do what Peng Yu likes, for fear of moving stones and smashing their feet, and setting themselves on fire.
But now Shopkeeper Liu acts as a link of connection, with some buffering effects, and more importantly, the role of role models.
Since Shopkeeper Liu is so valued by Peng Yu, it naturally shows that what Shopkeeper Liu does corresponds to Peng Yu's appetite, even if the other heroes don't know how to make Peng Yu take a fancy to him, they can draw a scoop according to the gourd, and it is extremely simple to learn from Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu's status in the business group was instantly elevated a lot, from acting on orders to being a consul with a certain right to speak, in other words, Shopkeeper Liu became Peng Yu's de facto subordinate in one step, and it was not impossible to take on Peng Yu's henchmen in time.
How could Shopkeeper Liu not feel hot in his heart and even dry in his mouth?
Moreover, Peng Yu explained that the Chang'an merchant group only needs to travel back and forth between Xinye, Xicheng, Xiangyang, Wancheng and Xuchang this time, especially this is the first time that the merchant group operates, so all the income of the merchant group belongs to the merchants, and Peng Yu does not charge any fees from it, but only provides the army to accompany him.
In other words, this is a pie from heaven, a good thing to send money to businessmen, so how can Shopkeeper Liu not be elated and ecstatic?
Peng Yu has only one requirement for Shopkeeper Liu, which requires Shopkeeper Liu to register all the specialties and scarce goods in the major cities, and send special people to squat, so that he can firmly control the business opportunities in each city in his own hands.
Shopkeeper Liu admired Peng Yu's decision-making, and the merchant led the goods to other places, to put it bluntly, in order to sell them at an excellent price, and before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the major cities had already cut off trade for a long time, and the information on the items in the city could only rely on hearsay, and it was difficult to actually figure out.
In fact, this information is the key to whether a businessman makes money or not, if Wancheng has a bumper harvest, Chang'an is pressing a large amount of grain to sell grain, this is not a trip in vain, that is a strange thing.
But because of this, Shopkeeper Liu didn't dare to transport too many supplies, first, I don't know what the actual situation is, second, the information of the major cities is also unclear, and third, although Peng Yu said it soundly, but I don't know what it actually is.
In this way, it is necessary to take advantage of this matter to make these three unknown situations clear and clear in one fell swoop, so that the people in the business group can rest assured, and the people who are not in the business group will begin to be red and want to join the business group.
Not to mention the careful arrangement of the shopkeeper Liu and the preparation of the business group, anyway, Peng Yu's "Chang'an business group" is finally about to be officially opened.
…………
Shopkeeper Liu's mood is undoubtedly hot, but Peng Yu's mood is cold.
You must know that this time back to Luoyang, Peng Yu originally wanted to borrow a huge amount of money from His Majesty, although the Chang'an business group seems to have a good future, but it will take time to test one or two, in other words, this matter is still in a theoretical state and has not entered the practice, so in the end, whether the Chang'an business group can make money or not depends on two words.
If the Chang'an merchant group can't make huge profits, then Peng Yu's vacant billion money will become a huge burden, which is enough to crush everything in Chang'an, and it will be difficult to turn over.
Who knew that Peng Yu not only did not borrow money from His Majesty, but owed 500 million money, so even if the merchant group earned back one billion money, it would have to share 500 million with Liu Hong, but the gap of 500 million could not be filled.
How could Peng Yu's mood be warm, this is why Peng Yu couldn't wait for the Wei family to move to Chang'an as a whole, so he immediately ordered Shopkeeper Liu to lead the business group to try it out.
Fortunately, Peng Yu's industries in Luoyang are thriving, especially the Yellow Turban Army was driven north of the Yellow River, so that Peng Yu's industry can reach farther to the city for better development.
When Peng Yu took him away in Luoyang, he ordered Pu Bai, Old Man Guo, and Zuo Bo not only to exaggerate the scale, but also to pay attention to the profits, and ordered the three of them and the housekeeper who temporarily returned home to tell Peng Yu every month how much money they earned.
Peng Yu is also quite helpless to act like this, after all, the vacant money this time is too huge, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed, so Peng Yu does not dare to act lazy, so she can only be so careful in her calculations.
…………
Taishou House.
Peng Yu sat high and convened all the generals to meet, except for Lu Bu escorting Diao Chan, Dian Wei escorting Tang Ji, and Gao Shun garrisoning Wancheng, the other generals all gathered together.
Peng Yu looked at the generals and asked, "Peng has been in Chang'an for a long time, I don't know how the progress of the 'Juntun Nong' implemented by you is?" ”
Gu Yong and Xun Yu looked at each other and smiled, Gu Yong got up and said with a smile, "General, everything is going well in the army and farmers, please rest assured that as long as there is no disaster, there will be no problem with grain and grass in the coming year." ”
Peng Yu was very relieved when he heard this, these yellow scarves were originally from farmers, and they were captured by themselves if they couldn't fight, if they couldn't grow grain, it would be a strange thing.
The implementation of Juntun Nong solved Peng Yu's worries about the future, and the matter was handed over to Gu Yong and Xun Yu, two talented people, and with the assurance of the two, Peng Yu certainly didn't need to worry about this matter anymore.
Although Peng Yu lost 500 million money in Luoyang, he let His Majesty reward his subordinates, and it can be seen that all the generals have recently darkened a lot and lost a lot of weight, presumably the implementation of the military tunnong is not so smooth, especially when the time is so urgent, but it can still do this well, these are all the situations formed by the efforts of the subordinates.
Peng Yu watched the coldness in everyone's hearts gradually melt and felt warmer and warmer, Lao Tzu has so many virtuous foils, why is there any fear of money? Peng Yu secretly said in his heart, "It's okay, everyone is busy now, Lao Tzu can't mess around anymore, 500 million money depends on Lao Tzu's means." ”
