Xiuxin came to the cloth again, "the tattoo is foie gras six," she said! "Weeping Grapes. Where the cave is delivered. Their affairs, sir, how about you bother to plan for them? As he spoke, he threw a wink, and by serving wine, half of his body snuggled up to Guo Yi.

When Wu and Dong saw it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, they couldn't imagine that this young girl was willing to contribute so much, and she was really a person who kept her word! With her coming out, this thing is eighty percent dramatic!

Guo Yi's body was already half numb.

Although I knew that it was acting, I was also bitter in my heart. I had to make a look of enjoyment and said, "It's easy to say!" It's good to say, since the two value brothers, they naturally have to plan for the two good haode.

"Bother! There is labor! ”

Guo Yi said to the two: "I have something I want to ask." ”

"Good, good. Please speak. ”

"I dare not be unsatisfied. But first, I want to ask the two of you, how much is it? If you want to use this money, there is always a plan, is it a month or two to be able to repay the principal, or a year and a half will be fine? How much do you want to earn? I have to come up with a big idea before I can be caught off guard. ”

Wu Zhixiang looked at Dong Ji again and asked for advice with his eyes.

"Brother Ziyan" Dong Jizhong said, "I don't have much silver, I have 50,000, and Brother Wu has more than 30,000." It doesn't add up to **10,000 figures. It is not convenient to put the silver on hold for a long time, and it must be turned over quickly

The small amount of 100,000 silver, and said that the amount was not large, so broad-minded. The wealth of this officialdom is really appalling. Guo Yi thought to himself, no wonder Da Ming is dying.

He nodded: "The thoughts of the two." I get it. Originally, it wasn't a big deal. But for the most important business, now Zizhen Zhai out of all kinds of Australian goods, all under the Gao master consignment, I am inconvenient to go back on the word, unauthorized release to the two, otherwise in this shopping mall, the credit of my Guo family, can be lost. ”

"This, please also ask Brother Ziyan for help!" Wu Zhixiang hurriedly begged.

Help, why should I help you. Guo Yixin said that he was a gentleman, and he didn't even know these basic human feelings. However, although he is not sophisticated, he is rich. Now to use their money, the so-called "help" is also to help themselves.

"I have another way to get rich. I don't know if you two are interested? ”

"May it be detailed!" Both of them were immediately interested.

"Do you know about sugar?"

"I know, I know" Dong Ji nodded again and again, "Sugar is a big deal!" Although he does not do maritime trade, he is familiar with it in Guangzhou. Knowing that sugar is an excellent selling foreign goods, regardless of the East or the West, they are rushing to ask for it.

"In Australia, sugar is also very good. Therefore, in the last month or two, I have to collect sugar in Guangdong, receive the sugar, and ship it back to silver. Are you interested in investing in it? ”

He didn't talk about lending, firstly, the interest to be paid on the lending, and secondly, they all said just now that they had great concerns about usury, so they only said that they would be invited to participate in the shares.

Wu Zhixiang didn't think twice: "Okay, good, I just don't know what the benefits are?" ”

"It's hard to say, but it's the same every year. One or two pieces of silver go down, and there is always a return of two cents. ”

"How long will it take? It's not okay to delay too long. Dong Ji interjected.

Guo Yi nodded: "Of course!" If it takes a year and a half to get back the principal and interest, the two of them will be directly stored on the large-sized cabinet and left. I'm buying and selling, three. See in the month. ”

Actually, I don't even need a month. Guo Yi himself had calculated that a boatload of sugar was shipped out of Xu Wen and sold in Guangzhou. It can be done in as little as 10 days. The interest of paying half cents in three months is also very heavy, but it is more than the interest on the loan. But much lower. What's more, in these three months, the money can be passed one or two more times, which is equivalent to tripling the use.

His heart was exposed, Dong Jizhong's face turned a little red, and he hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean!" Brother Ziyan is so helpful to his brothers! How dare brothers fight for more and too little, it's just that there are some inconvenient things included" just to show that they are not talking nonsense. A little bit of news came out of the twist, saying that some of the silver was "temporarily borrowed public funds", and it was inconvenient to keep it in his hand for a long time. Guo Yi thought that how much public expense his father could have for a deputy general, and this money was probably just a salary.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all my own brothers!" Guo Yi made a friend enough, "Come, come, drink!" ”

"Now that it's decided, I don't know where to put the silver?" Dong Jizhong was anxious to finalize the matter, "I'll write a film right away, ask someone to go back and send it to the house immediately."

"No," Guo Yi said categorically, "Since we want to partner together, the first is to pay attention to credit, and the second is to pay attention to procedures." Money for both of you. When the time comes, I'll call someone from the Dart Bureau to collect it. The two of them can explain to the doorman and the account room. I take care of Zizhen Zhai here, and I will present it with a fold, indicating three months, and calculating two points of interest. If the market is good, then the bonus will be offered according to the share capital, which can be made

"Make, make!" The two of them nodded again and again, feeling that this Guo Dongzhu was beautiful and reliable in speaking and doing things. A little more close to him. Big things must be done, the mood is naturally relaxed, and the next wine will naturally become smoother and smoother. Guo Yi also took the opportunity to inquire about many officials.

What I am most concerned about is naturally Guangdong's attitude towards Lingao, in the widely different officialdom, the movements of Liu Xiang, Zhu Cailao and others are far more concerned than Lingao, Dong Jizhong has not even heard of this matter, Lingao has reported banditry, but there are many states and counties that report bandits every month this year, and the county seat of Lingao is still in the hands of the government, so naturally no one cares.

As for the city of Beijing, Chongzhen is still too busy to "set things right" and clean up Wei Zhongxian's remaining party, and it is the third time that he has recently reprimanded the cabinet ministers for failing to liquidate the "anti-party". Seeing that this year's "Jingcha" in the south and north of Beijing will inevitably make a big move to clean up Wei Zhongxian's "anti-party," the atmosphere in the officialdom is quite tense. The officials who were anti-Wei at the beginning naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation this time; Those who secretly hooked up at the beginning should consider how to deal with it in many ways in order to get away with the crime, and it is best to keep their official position; The wall-riding faction has to drill the upstart of the current dynasty, and even enter the floor, "The entire court and officialdom, such as the bustling peaks, are not stable."

This is basically the same as the news Guo Yi got from the court newspaper. Since no one pays attention to the direction of Beijing and Guangdong, the construction of Lingao can also obtain a buffer period of reversal and stability. This news should be notified to the Executive Committee as soon as possible.

The wine was eaten until 3 p.m. Guo Yi and Sisi explained a few important words, especially to ask her to pay attention to whether anyone has mentioned the matter of sugar among the people who have come to Ziminglou recently, and if there is important news, she must send someone to report it in time.

The control of Leizhou Sugar in Leizhou and the crossing group is bound to be separated? According to Guo Zhu, the old, one, Haiyitang is stronger. It can't fight the strong dragon of the crossing group, even if the special forces of the executive committee are not used, just rely on the operation of Guangzhou. Hai Yitang is bound to lose in this sugar war, and after successfully pulling two positions today, he has become more and more firm in this belief.

Now that the crossing group is already a sure winner on the money, I am afraid that Hai Yitang did not expect that the traverser would have the ability to get hundreds of thousands of silver so quickly, and there should be more positions to mobilize in the next few days, in addition to Wu and Dong, there are several similar eunuchs, and they dare not say that it is no problem to mobilize another 40,000 or 50,000 silver. The figure of 200,000 taels is enough to beat Hai Yitang and can't get up.

China has always been known as the black hole of silver, and Guangzhou is probably the place where the most silver is hoarded. It is said that the silver is tight. In fact, there are people who have a large amount of cash in their hands! It's just a matter of trying to dig them all out.

In the past, he only felt that he had crossed the group with the Gao family, and the money was not a problem at all, but this time he tried his skills in the sugar industry, and found that he was still far from the four words "abundant money". In the long run, it is important to raise funds from multiple parties. Along the way, I was thinking about how to raise more funds and further expand the business.

He was meditating in a sedan chair. Suddenly, the sedan chair stopped, and the attendant reported: "Master." The person from the shopkeeper of Weisun came to ask for peace, please go to the dart game immediately. ”

"What's the matter?" Guo Yi opened his mouth to ask, and realized that he had made a mistake. The person who came is just a messenger, what can he know? Most of the shopkeepers have important news, so they have to tell him in person, and they can't find him on Huifu Street. Knowing that he had arrived at Ziming Tower, he sent someone to look for him halfway.

"Go to the power!"

The car curtain is down. Immediately go in the direction of the dart game. But there are some ups and downs in my heart. Although he has a ninety percent grasp of the matter in Leizhou this time, the more he gets to the juncture, the more he can't go wrong. The key to this battle is the price of sugar in Guangzhou, according to the recent market, the price is rising steadily, and it has reached three or two cents.

He already knows from South China that, according to the locals, Leizhou's sugar output this year is "Zhongping", that is, the general level, but there is more than one place where sugar is produced in China, and Fujian is also producing sugar in Fujian, and he still knows nothing about the local market.

This juncture is on the bone. I am most afraid of accidents. Guo Yi has taken care of Sun Kecheng, and recently the semicolons and outer cabinets in various places will be reported every three days, and if they encounter sugar transit, they must try to inquire about the origin and output of sugar, and where they are ready to be shipped? It is sometimes extremely important to have the dart master go to the teahouse more often, so that even a few words can get useful information in these places.

The sedan chair can afford to be powerful. Not in the door, he is a shareholder here. is also a close friend of the shopkeeper, and he always comes once every three or five days. It's a familiar guest who can't be more familiar. So the sedan chair went straight in through the side door and simply rested on the edge of the flower hall.

Sun Kecheng was already waiting under the dripping eaves, this was not because he was polite, but because the matter was urgent, he had to tell Guo Yi quickly.

"Guo Dongzhu. Something happened! ”

This is what he said, showing that the matter is urgent. Guo Yi nodded: "Said inside." ”

Only then did Sun Kecheng realize that it was inappropriate to talk in the courtyard, and quickly let him into the flower hall and into the pavilion on one side. This is where they talk about things in secret.

"Yesterday a sugar boat was hijacked at sea!"

Guo Yi's heart tightened for a while, it wouldn't be the Dengyingzhou, right? This boat is a baby bump. After thinking about it, Dengying Prefecture transported a boatload of sugar from Leizhou, and it was only the day before yesterday that it was filled with tobacco media and went to Lingao, and it should still be on the way now, so it can't be it anyway.

"It's Guang Bing!"

Guangbing is a two-masted ship, with a deadweight of more than 14 tons, which is specialized in coastal freight transportation by Gaoguang Shipping Company.

The so-called Gao Guang Ship Line. In order to make up for the lack of water capacity in Lingao, Guangzhou Station is a cargo ship jointly organized by the local government with the Qiwei Dart Bureau. The ships used were small coastal cargo ships purchased locally, and the sailors were hired locally. The shipping line is operated by Guangzhou Station and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Maritime Liliang. The only business is to run the Guangzhou route of the first year of high school.

Because the business is busy. The fleet expanded rapidly, and now has six brigs, starting with the word Guang and sorted by the heavenly stem, starting from Guangjia and ending with the Guang Geng. It is responsible for more than half of the task of transporting various materials to Lingao.

Originally, Gaoguang's ships were mostly empty on the return trip from Lingao, and the so-called "Australian cargo" was small in quantity and high in value, and for the sake of safety, it has been transported by the Dengyingzhou of the Liliang Department at sea. At present, there is a backlog of sugar in the South China plant. Guangzhou was also anxious to withdraw the funds, and the two sides discussed it. It was decided to load sugar back by empty ship at the time of the return trip from Ringao by Takahiro Ship Line. It's a convenient and advantageous thing, who knew that such a thing would happen!

Because the sea is not very calm, although there are no guns on the ships, the sailors are equipped with knives and guns and arquebuses for self-defense, and there are also dart masters who specialize in taking the sea route. It's a little farther away, but it's safer. So the ship has been running for a few months, and nothing has ever happened, how can it have an accident as soon as it is loaded with sugar?

"What the hell is going on, tell me what happened."

Sun Kecheng whispered. "The ship is back, but five people are dead."

"Can the boat be used again?" After asking this, he couldn't help but regret it, and asked the ships about the quality of the ships without asking about the casualties of his subordinates. It's too chilling. hurriedly added, "But there are injuries."

"The ship is on the dock, looking for someone to abandon the repair, there are some minor damage, but there is no major problem!" Sun Xiaokecheng said. "The sailors are resting at the Gaoguang Inn, someone is injured, and a doctor is being called!"

"The ship's boss is all right, right? What about the dart masters? ”

"I heard that it was injured, but it was not in the way. But two of them died! Sun Kecheng was gloomy for a while, "They are all old brothers who have worked together for many years, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen!" ”

Although it is not uncommon for a dart game to die, these two are old people who have worked together all year round, and they are naturally different from the newcomers who have recently entered the game.

"People can't be resurrected after death, I must be generous here!" Guo Yi hurriedly patted his chest, "First give each bereaved family member two hundred taels of silver to lay the funeral, you help me watch the matter first, and then we will be afraid of spending money when we discuss together!" ”
