Chapter XXXII

The next day, Chen Wenhui woke up and felt refreshed. After freshening up, when I saw the radiant Zhao Chongyi coming from the courtyard, I knew that Zhao Chongyi had gone to practice boxing.

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi sat together for breakfast. In breakfast, some snacks with southern Xinjiang characteristics were specially served, and Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi were very satisfied.

After eating, Zhao Chongyi said: "You rested yesterday, but I took advantage of the fact that it was not dark yesterday to take a stroll around Shaocheng." The city is small, but the sparrows are small and have everything. There are many more distinctive things. Although I don't know how to do business, I think that the Dachu items we brought can be sold here at a good price, and of course, I can also buy some good specialties to go back. ”

This time, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they pretended to be merchants, so they brought a large number of goods, and if they didn't trade, they would definitely be seen through. Therefore, they are ready to trade all the way to Guangzhou City like normal merchants.

Of course, this trip, because of the huge amount of goods, is still a back-and-forth business, selling the goods of Dachu, and then buying things back from southern Xinjiang, and then selling them in Dachu, this time and again, the benefits are huge, and you can also make a few money. In the eyes of ordinary businessmen, this money is a big number. But in the eyes of Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi, it is nothing.

Although it is not to make money, Chen Wenhui is still doing this seriously, in fact, this is also a very fun game, for Chen Wenhui, who likes to make money, it is also very good to occasionally experience the feelings of ordinary businessmen.

Chen Wenhui was very happy to hear it and said, "That's good." I was about to call the steward to ask about it. Why don't we take our items to the market and have a look? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Okay. Actually, I inquired yesterday. Most of the transactions in Shaocheng were controlled by the Qin people in the east of the city, the Miao people in the south of the city, the Yi people in the north of the city, and the Lan people in the west of the city. If you want to trade, you can't get around these four. Of course, there are also trading houses opened by the Teng, Bai, Dai and other tribes, but these trading houses are all attached to the names of the four major trading houses. If we want to trade, we're really going to the steward or Accardo to take care of it. ”

As soon as Chen Wenhui heard about it: "Since this is the case, let's follow the customs of the locals, how about going to the Qin people firm in charge first?" ”

Zhao Chongyi was about to answer. Shui Lian outside the door came in and said, "Second master." Madam, His Highness Ram has sent people and brought many gifts. ”

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi looked at each other and smiled and said please. Chen Wenhui said: "Chongyi, you go and receive it." I'm impatient to take care of these characters. Just give the water lotus the things to collect. If I'm not wrong in my guess. I guess there's also money for our guards. We didn't care about the money either. If only she had given it. You just wait for the people who come to go. Give it to the water lotus and let her share it among our guards. Those who were injured were doubled, but fortunately there were no casualties. Otherwise, for the sake of a southern Xinjiang princess, we will really suffer. ”

After speaking, he pouted, and went back to the bedroom to read and rest. Zhao Chongyi smiled, Chen Wenhui's problem with protecting her shortcomings is getting bigger and bigger. Still, it seems, he is like that himself. Moreover, it can be seen that Chen Wenhui does not like this southern Xinjiang princess very much.

Zhao Chongyi met with the messenger sent by Ram. The messenger said a lot of thanksgiving. At the same time, a gift list was also given, and there was a stack of silver tickets, which unexpectedly were silver tickets from Dachu Bank. This should be the money that Ram sent to hire the guards. Zhao Chongyi accepted it. The messenger took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Chongyi before going back.

When the envoy left, Zhao Chongyi gave the silver ticket and gift list to Shuilian, and went into the inner room to find Chen Wenhui.

Chen Wenhui was dressed in homely clothes, and she was reading a book on the big pillow. Seeing Zhao Chongyi coming in, he smiled.

Zhao Chongyi said: "I didn't expect that the money sent by Ram was actually a silver ticket from Dachu Bank. Why did your Da Chu Bank still open in southern Xinjiang? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Southern Xinjiang is not our territory. Where do we dare to open a semicolon in this place that does not accept the king's transformation? However, now the credibility of Dachu Bank is very high. The surrounding tribes and countries do business with our Da Chu, and they all open accounts in the Da Chu Bank and deposit silver in it, so it is not surprising that Ram has a silver ticket from the Da Chu Bank. Come to think of it, she also knows that we are Da Chu merchants, and she prefers Da Chu silver tickets. So, I gave us a silver ticket. That's a good thing, too. I don't know, can this Da Chu's silver ticket be exchanged for silver in Shaocheng's money bank? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "This is simple, just call a steward to ask." By the way, there's another secret letter, let's read it together. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

The letter begins with Ram's acknowledgment. Then it was said that in order to prevent them from being retaliated against by the Blue Clan, Ram invited them to go back to Guangzhou City with her. Of course, you also have to rely on Zhao Chongyi's guards, and you will also pay for employment. Ask them to consider the best of both worlds.

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It's indeed the best of both worlds." She already has her own guards, plus our guards, this combat power, I don't want to be afraid of the people of the Blue Clan sneaking up on her again. As for us, we offended the Lan clan for her, and it is not good to go alone. It's a good thing to put it together in this way. It would be nice to earn a few more hire dollars to add some income to the guards. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded and said, "That's what you said." Why don't we just talk back to them? They still have one person left here waiting to reply. I'll fix a book. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

After the letter was sent, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi went out and went to the Qinren Commercial House in the east of the city.

After Chen Wenhui arrived in southern Xinjiang, he learned that in his previous life, everyone called Chinese Han people, but in this world, other countries and nationalities call Chinese Qin people. Especially in southern Xinjiang, the total population of the Qin people also accounts for more than one-third. However, the Qin people are not united, and they are not united by those Baiyi people, so even a small tribe in southern Xinjiang has the right to speak, but the Qin people, who have a large population, have no right to speak.

After many years of oppression by ethnic minorities, the Qin people finally gave birth to an organization, which was the Qin people's trading house. Although it is a business firm, the Qin people are all over the southern Xinjiang, not only making a lot of money, but also often helping the Qin people in southern Xinjiang to uphold justice, which has been greatly praised. The Qin people all trusted the Qin people's firm. Busy, those ethnic minorities in power also began to pay attention to the Qin people's firms, and even in some places, some decisions had to be consulted with the Qin's firms. The Qin people finally began to have a voice in southern Xinjiang, although this voice was still very weak.

Chen Wenhui was very interested in this Qinren firm. Even if it is not for business, the transaction also wants to have a good relationship with the Qin people's firm. Therefore, this time Chen Wenhui and his wife came to the Qinren Commercial House in the east of the city and did enough courtesy. Steward Chen, the chief steward of the Qinren Commercial Bank, warmly received them.

Steward Chen had already learned from Steward Xiang about what happened along the way, and at that time, he concluded that this Second Master Zhao must be a very energetic businessman in Da Chu. Must be rich too. Otherwise, who can afford to hire so many guards and carry so many goods? For such a powerful Dachu businessman, Steward Chen had already had the heart to make friends. If Chen Wenhui and his wife had come a day late, Steward Chen would have already wanted to visit.

So the two sides saw each other very happily, and after a conversation, the steward had already gone to contact the steward brought by Chen Wenhui about the transaction, and Chen Wenhui and his wife stayed to talk with the steward Chen.

From Steward Chen, Chen Wenhui and his wife learned a lot of information about southern Xinjiang, which gave them a general understanding of the situation in southern Xinjiang.

After some conversation, Chen Wenhui and his wife participated in the banquet prepared by Steward Chen for them with great interest. After a full meal, Chen Wenhui and his wife returned to the inn. But it was discovered that Ram's steward had also come and brought Ram's secret letter. The secret letter said that she would leave for Guangzhou City in four days, hoping that Zhao Chongyi and his wife would have taken care of all the business matters at that time, so that they could set off together.

Chen Wenhui said: "We traded well today, not only sold a lot of things, but also bought a lot of special products. However, Shaocheng is still too small to eat all our goods, but it doesn't matter, we can go to the Miao people's trading house tomorrow, and we can sell some and collect some if we want to. The rest will simply be sold in Guangzhou City. Four days is enough. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "Are you really here to do business?" ”

Chen Wenhui also laughed when she heard this.

Steward Chen in the east of the city was listening to the report of his subordinates: "Chief steward, this Second Master Zhao's goods are more than those of the previous Great Chu merchants, and they are all good. Not only did I sell a lot of goods here, but I also bought a lot of goods. Of course, he wants the best. We have a lot of treasures that we can't sell because the price is too high, and this time he bought them all. ”

Seeing the happy appearance of this steward, steward Chen also smiled and said, "That's good." This shows that I am not mistaken, this should be a very powerful Dachu businessman, and he must also have the ability in Dachu. You see the bearing and conversation of this husband and wife, which is really extraordinary. Also, I don't know if you have an idea, although the dress of their husband and wife seems very simple. But it's all extremely exquisite. The texture of the silk on their bodies is much better than the first-class products we bought from the merchants of Dachu before. Can this be an ordinary person? We need to make good friends, maybe it can bring us more benefits in the future. ”

The steward said: "After this transaction, I took a rough inventory, and it can probably bring us a profit of about 5,000 taels." ”

Steward Chen was taken aback: "What? Five thousand taels? How can there be so many? (To be continued......)
