Chapter 169: Wen Hongda

"Now that the autumn harvest is hopeless, the grain in your hands will be covered until winter, which is dozens of times more profitable, so why sell it again?"

Wen Hongda actually had some bruises on his face, and he didn't completely cover it with powder.

But this did not affect the bearing of his son.

Although he is also a businessman, he is different from the Cui family.

The Wen family is a big family, and it is several levels higher than the Cui family in all aspects. Therefore, although Wen Hongda is young, he is also very proud in front of Cui Ping at this time.

Cui Ping is Wang Kang's eldest brother, the eldest of the Cui family's eldest house, who was forty and eight years old at the time, and looked like a shrewd businessman. Although Mrs. Cui is still there, the Cui family's business is basically handed over to Cui Ping.

There is also Cui Ping's eldest son Cui Ruohai in the seat.

At this time, after listening to Wen Hongda's remarks, the father and son glanced at each other, and Cui Ping smiled: "Although this is the truth, but after all, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the court has regulations, and hoarding is a big crime." ”

Although he said so, Cui Ping didn't think so in his heart.

The Cui family has been in this business for decades, how could they miss the opportunity to make a lot of money in the famine year?

Food is going to rise, Cui Ping naturally knows. Not only did he know, but he also stored a large amount of grain in the Tongzhou warehouse, and only waited until winter to sell it.

However, this batch of grain in the capital still has to be sold in a high-profile manner.

When the time comes, as long as you say: The Cui family's grain has already been sold, and they have spent a high price to buy grain from other places to their fathers and fellow villagers, and they can sell the high-priced grain in a straightforward manner......

"Huh." Wen Hongda gently fiddled with the lid of the cup, with a self-contained expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Hoarding Juqi is a big crime? That's just the case for those who don't have a backer. ”

Cui Ping knew that the Wen family wanted to be his backer.

But the Cui family already has a backer.

Cui Ping's eldest son Cui Ruohai and Wang Zhen are brothers-in-law. Cui Ruohai's wife, Tao Wenyi, is also Bai Yizhang's niece.

Cui Ping smiled and said: "Gongzi Wen should also know that contemptible people and some adults are in-laws. People who are afraid of making mistakes have always followed the rules to do business. ”

Wen Hongda nodded and said lightly: "I know, before I came, I was angry with Brother Jianzheng. ”

When it came to this, Wen Hongda was actually a little annoyed.

The Wen family escorted 85,000 taels of silver to the Tianjin wharf for the Bai family, but it was intercepted halfway.

In the end, the Wen family had to compensate Bai Yizhang for this silver. Otherwise, the matter will be spread, and the customer's silver stored in the Wen family will be lost, how will he do business in the future?

If Bai Yizhang is an ordinary person, then it is easy to say, the whole family is killed, and the mouth is extinguished. But this man is a big official.

But the Wen family didn't want to lose the money simply. bargained and bargained, and Bai Yizhang threw the Cui family's money-making bargaining chip to the Wen family.

This winter is another time when grain merchants and charcoal merchants make a lot of money, and the Wen family is a charcoal merchant, just to get together a grain merchant.

For Bai Yizhang, now that the East Factory is investigating, he still wants to seek the book of the household department, and it is the time to be careful, so he does not plan to make another move this winter.

For Wen Hongda, he had to make a lot of money to make up for the unreliable reputation brought about by the robbery of the silver and to gain a foothold in his family.

At this time, Wen Hongda pointed out this layer of relationship.

Cui Ping knew in his heart, and in his heart, he didn't really want to cooperate with the Wen family.

But I heard Wen Hongda continue: "Not only did I get angry with Brother Jianzheng, but I also knew that the Cui family had a large amount of grain in Tongzhou. I even know where the food is coming from. ”

Cui Ping was shocked.

Cui Ruohai's face turned even pale.

Where did that food come from......

"Don't worry, I'm my own person." Wen Hongda said with a smile.

"It's good to be your own people, it's good to be your own people." Cui Ping hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Let's be honest. I am here today to share the prosperity with you. Wen Hongda smiled and said eloquently: "In previous years, your style was too petty, and the difference between selling a grain five times or ten times and selling it thirty times or forty times can be very different. ”

"The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, you have been too generous to these people in Beijing over the years. Don't worry they don't have any money! If you don't have money, let them exchange the land for grain, and the money you want, but what my Wen family wants is the field. ”

Cui Ping was startled and muttered: "But this is the capital, if you do this, you ......."

"What's wrong with the capital?" Wen Hongda sneered, "It is in the capital that you can rely on the big tree of my Wen family......"

In the small hall of the Cui family.

“…… It was found out just two days ago that those who came to make trouble were tenants of the Wen family, and it must have been the Wen family who wanted to occupy our cultivated land. ”

Wang Xiao and Qin Xuance sat down without incident, so they chatted.

Talking about this topic, Wang Xiao also has a headache, those tenants come to make trouble from time to time, and there are many of them, although they can run away every time, but it is not a long-term solution.

After the locust plague a few days ago, the people made more noise.

Now their little reputation has been made by them to stink.

checked and checked, but I didn't expect that behind it was a writer with a reputation as a Confucian merchant of paper and ink.

"Wen family?" Qin Xuance said: "Then you, like me, also have an enmity with the Wen family?" I'll tell you, I'll see Wen Hongda once and hit once! ”

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "You are a jealous personal vendetta." I'm different, I'm probably bad neighbors with the Wen family. ”

He said and said a little depressed: "If you don't do a good cultural industry, you have to come to occupy my barren mountain." ”

"Hey, cultural industry? It's just that you don't have a firm foothold and are good at bullying. Qin Xuance sneered.

The two talked for a while, and then three cups of tea went down.

Qin Xuance was a little impatient, and asked Wang with a smile: "People obviously look down on you, a nephew who is not related by blood, and they haven't been allowed to see you for a long time." ”

Wang Xiao was also a little unable to sit still, and said with annoyance: "Yes, I have something to do in the afternoon." The family insisted on letting me come. ”

"Niang Xipi!" Qin Xuance stood up suddenly: "Let's go!" Let's go and see, what kind of guests are so magnificent? Dare us both wait so long! ”

With that, he walked straight down the hall.

in the hall.

Wen Hongda talked loudly and talked like a river, and the Cui family and his son packed up the ground and obeyed them.

Occasionally, he also mentioned "how happened to my grandfather after he entered the cabinet", "my uncle was promoted to Shangshu", "my uncle is going to be transferred back to Beijing" and so on.

In terms of business, he is just a novice in front of Cui Ping.

But the family background is there, and Wen Hongda is superior.

What's more, if the price of grain is doubled and sold exponentially, and you can make money with your eyes closed, what kind of business experience do you need?

So the guests and hosts rejoiced.

Suddenly.

There was shouting and scolding from outside the door.

Wen Hongda frowned, a little displeased.

Cui Ruohai went over and opened the door and shouted, "What's the noise?!" Don't you see that I'm hosting guests? ”

"Young master, they ......"

"Why would you want us to wait so long?" With these words, someone walked into the hall.

When he saw the two teenagers who walked in, Wen Hongda's face changed!

I was beaten up two days ago.

"Yes, yes, yes, you?!"

"Haha, where don't we meet in life." Qin Xuance said with a sarcastic smile: "Did you say that I will beat you once when I see you?" ”

"You! Why the hell ......"

"Bang!"

"Ahh

Cui Ping's body trembled, the teacup fell to the ground, and his eyes suddenly widened, revealing an expression of disbelief!
