Volume 1 Chapter 13 Han Cheng buys a horse
Since more than a dozen of Han Ye's subordinates came to Han Cheng's army, the happiest thing is that the master is the master of the trial, and the ability to handle military affairs is quite strong, however, the handling of military affairs in Han Cheng's army is a little worse, why is this?
An obvious reason: his subordinates are not good, Han Cheng's original subordinates, most of them are illiterate strong men, and finally a few people know words, and they are only limited to knowing words.
It's okay to remember a name, a military discipline or something, once it comes to military food and salary, the scalp is numb, one head is two big, and the handling is messy, so it's better to judge and match it yourself.
In addition, many affairs in the army also need to be approved by the judge, and the tired judge is less than half a month, and he has lost ten pounds.
After all, one person's energy is limited, and more than 10,000 people eat, drink, and Lazar, even if the strongest person is able to deal with it, it will be overstretched.
But now it's different, there are more than a dozen students, and the specific work is arranged for everyone; After they are done, report to the judge, small things, the judge to make a decision; Big things, review and sort them out, and hand them over to Han Cheng for decision-making.
So, the trial was easy, and Han Cheng was also relaxed.
Han Cheng and the judge sighed: "The army also needs readers." ”
In the past few months, Han Cheng has harvested a lot of money from the bandits, and the military food and salary in the army are all provided by Han Fu, and Han Cheng has money in his hands.
Han Cheng's experience from later generations: For troubled times, no matter how much money there is, it is not as important as soldiers, and it is the most important thing now to turn money into cavalry.
There are already more than 2,000 able-bodied soldiers in the army who are training in horsemanship, and the priority is horses.
Han Cheng has been in Jizhou for less than two years, and he has been dealing with affairs in the army, and he is not familiar with the businessmen in Jizhou. But after all, I was a county magistrate, so why don't I still know a few businessmen who have traveled from south to north?
On that day, Han Cheng took the judge, Zhang He and more than 20 personal guards to Gonggao County, Hejian County, Jizhou, to visit Liu Wei, a businessman who had dealt with the trial and was famous for traveling from south to north.
This Liu Wei is the head of the Liu family in Gonggao County, and he is not a simple character.
It turned out that Liu Wei was just a small guy in a grain store, but he had a flexible mind and lofty ambitions, worked hard to learn business knowledge, and gradually became the big shopkeeper of the grain store. After having a certain amount of capital, they opened up the north-south passage and bought grain to the south and northwest; Resell tea silk from the south to the north to earn the difference.
After more than ten years of wealth accumulation, the Liu family is famous in this Gonggao County.
Although the Liu family is not as famous as the Zhen family of the giant businessman in Jizhou, in this Gonggao County, the Liu family is the overlord of the business world, and the richest man in Gonggao County will never be able to run.
There are a lot of shops on both sides of the main road in Gonggao County, and after the inquiry of the soldiers, they found the target of this trip - Liu's rice line in a short time.
Han Cheng and the others arrived at the door of Mi Xing, only to see the decoration style of Mi Xing, which was decades ago, giving people the biggest feeling of two words - low-key.
When Han Cheng saw this decoration style, he was in awe of the owner of this rice shop.
Heart said: "If I am also a businessman, it must be this style", after all, if you have wealth but do not have the power to keep wealth, low-key is the most correct way, not to attract attention, silently getting rich is more important than anything else.
However, since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the price of rice has skyrocketed, and if you want to keep a low profile, the situation will not allow it.
The four or five guys in the store are constantly busy back and forth, and at first glance it is a prosperous shop that is making money every day, how can it be low-key?
Han Cheng didn't have a lot of time to wait for the shopkeeper here to show up, and asked the accompanying soldiers to send their prayers to the hands of the shopkeeper of Mi Xing.
In the rice shop, the shopkeeper Zhang Fang held Han Cheng's greeting post, although the business was very busy, he immediately arranged for the guy to go to Liu's mansion with the greeting post to invite the eldest lord Liu Wei. and personally brought Han Cheng and the others to the Mi Xing meeting room.
As a confidant of the Liu family, he has followed the eldest master Liu Wei to the north and south for so many years, and this bit of vision is still there, and Han Cheng is not looking for his little shopkeeper, but the head of the family, Liu Wei.
In less than a cup of tea, the head of the family, Liu Wei, hurried from Liu's mansion, although his Liu family is considered the overlord of the business community in Gonggao County, but in the eyes of Jizhou Mu, it is really not enough.
In this era, the class struggle is very strict, and the peasants, businessmen, and merchants are the lowest, which is not about ability, but about status.
For businessmen: to live in peace and enjoy their wealth is the right way.
Liu Wei thought as he walked: "Now that Dong Zhuo is chaotic in the government, the state pastor is taking the opportunity to recruit troops, and he is very short of money." Han Cheng, the nephew of Jizhou Mu, came with a greeting post, and it was still a very formal meeting, which was really frightening. ”
Rice Guild Lounge
Opposite Han Cheng sat an elderly man, dressed in a cyan brocade robe, more than forty years old, when they met, Han Chengdu couldn't imagine: Liu Wei, a big businessman who traveled south and north, actually had fair skin and was very well maintained; Speaks like a scholar, not a mercenary businessman.
"Cheng Gongzi came to visit, and the villain was very honored. If Childe has a place to use the villain, arrange a subordinate to report it, and the villain will go all out to do things for Childe, why do you need Childe to run in person? Liu Wei said with a smile.
It doesn't look like we've just met, but it looks familiar.
"The head of the Liu family is polite, I heard in Changshan County that the head of the Liu family has traveled south and north, and he is the big businessman who has seen the most in the world in Jizhou. I came to visit today, but I had something important to ask for advice, and I asked the head of the Liu family to give me advice. Han Cheng replied with a smile.
"Any businessman who has seen the most in the world is a rumor, which makes Cheng Gongzi laugh.
What is important, the son only said that it is okay, as long as Liu knows, he will serve the son; Even if Liu doesn't know, he will inquire about many places for his son, and he will definitely satisfy his son. ”
Han Cheng nodded, and said in his heart: "No wonder he has created such a big family business in just ten years, this Liu Wei family master is really good at talking." Speaking of words, it doesn't leak, it must be an old slippery head. ”
gave Zhang He, who was standing beside him, a look, and continued: "Then I don't say secret words, my son wants to form a cavalry, but the horses have no way, and I want to ask the head of the Liu family for help." ”
Liu Wei looked at the majestic Zhang He beside Han Cheng and fell into deep thought:
"On the surface, I send goods from the north to the south, and sell goods from the south to the north. But in fact, outside of business, there are also unspeakable things, such as iron and salt that the northern minorities want; horses from southern families; Without these profiteering things, relying on rice, grain, tea and silk alone, it is impossible for him to support the two or three hundred people of the Liu family.
The imperial court prohibits the sale of horses, and even if you do this, you can't admit it to your face.
Although the name of benevolence and righteousness of Han Chenggang spread all over Jizhou, he was a businessman, not an ordinary person.
I have saved up the wealth for so many years, and it is estimated that even the state pastor will be red-eyed, so it is better to say less and set more of the meaning of becoming a son. ”
