The owner is about to take office, and Zhang Dejian, as a friend of the scene, naturally has to help the owner take precautions, otherwise his eyes will be easy to be fooled by the cunning officials below and the tea merchants who underwrite the introduction of tea.

Which states and counties in Sichuan produce tea, how much is the annual output, and which tea merchants have bought the tea produced...... The largest scale of marketing side tea is the arrow furnace, Song Fan and Qiongzhou three places, that is, the often said South Road Side Lead, Song Fan Side Lead and Qiongzhou Side Lead, these three places are about how many million catties of side tea are marketed annually, and how many taels of silver are worth?

Zhang Dejian asked everything in detail, and the shopkeeper Yu knew everything and said everything.

When it was said that the side tea marketed in the Song Domain alone was worth more than 700,000 taels of silver a year, even Han Xiufeng and Director Zhang were shocked, and they couldn't believe that the tea trade could be so big!

asked about a lot of inside information that he couldn't find out in Sichuan, especially some detours in the underwriting of tea, Zhang Dejian felt that this meal was not in vain. Seeing that Zhang Dejian was in a good mood, Shopkeeper Yu complained about his bitterness as he did last year when he was worshipping in the hall, and when he said that he was sad, he burst into tears and couldn't cry.

Zhang Dejian and Han Xiufeng comforted together, and then changed the conversation, saying that Lord Wu was different from those adults before him, and since he joined the office, he has been reminding himself that "it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes if you are not an official for the people".

How could the shopkeeper Yu miss this opportunity, hurriedly got up to thank him, and even handed over the business of the capital to his second son, and decided to take the eldest son back to his hometown to do the side tea business that had been broken for decades, and vowed to serve Lord Wu.

Zhang Dejian not only promised to take care of the Sichuan tea merchants, including the Yu family, but also readily agreed to accompany their father and son.

As long as you can tie up the salt tea ceremony, it is difficult to make a fortune. Han Xiufeng and Director Zhang were happy to see it, and after eating, they went to another place under the pretext of having something to do, and asked Shopkeeper Yu to send Zhang Dejian back to the hall.

In fact, there was nowhere else to go except for the guild hall that was being renovated and the newly rented courtyard, so they came to the newly rented courtyard and sat down to drink tea for a while, and the shopkeeper Yu, who sent Zhang Dejian back to the guild hall, really chased him over.

"Master Han, Master Zhang, the great kindness of the two, my Yu family is unforgettable."

"Get up, shopkeeper Yu, it's all your own, what are you doing."

"Yes, you're on your own, you're welcome."

Shopkeeper Yu still felt like he was dreaming until this moment, got up and grinned: "Master Han, Master Zhang, I sent Mr. Zhang back to the Provincial Pavilion just now, and I also saw Lord Wu, who had just returned to the Provincial Pavilion, and Lord Wu also asked a few small questions. If it weren't for the two of you, let alone be able to talk to Lord Wu, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the Daotai Yamen, and I wouldn't even be able to see you! ”

"Shopkeeper Yu is polite, as the head of the hall, this is what I should do, if you really want to thank you, thank Director Zhang."

"Thank you for everything, I'm ...... I ......"

Han Xiufeng knew that he wanted to say that he had no silver on him, so he glanced at Director Zhang, and couldn't help but smile: "Shopkeeper Yu, let's come to Japan, let's talk about Xie later, let's talk about your next plan first, should you really go back to your hometown, right?" ”

"Return, of course I want to return!" Shopkeeper Yu took the tea from He Heng's cousin, sat down and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of your two jokes, I had no way out before, so I could only leave my hometown and come to the capital." Now with the two of you, let the little one tie up with Lord Wu. I can't miss such a great opportunity, and if I do, I'm sorry for your hard work, so I'm really planning to go back. ”

Director Zhang muttered: "Underwriting side tea is more profitable than selling tea in the capital. ”

"Master Zhang, although the business in the capital is not big, but it is also my painstaking management over the years, it is a pity to close the door like this, I plan to hand over the business in the capital to the dogs, and I will ask Master Zhang to take care of it in the future."

"Since you have made up your mind, go back, there are me and Zhixing here in the capital to help you keep an eye on it."

"Master Xie Zhang, Master Xie Han."

"Here you go again, Shopkeeper Yu, you can't talk like this anymore."

"Okay, good, thank you for your kindness, and I'll make up for it tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Yu was really happy, although he gave out five hundred taels of silver tickets in the evening, but what he did was far more than five hundred taels, he was in a hurry to go home to tell his three sons the good news of this day, and he also rushed to raise money to accompany Lord Wu back to his hometown in Sichuan, and thanked Han Xiufeng and the two before saying goodbye.

Thinking of his elated appearance before leaving, Director Zhang couldn't help but quip: "Zhixing, I really live to learn all the time, it seems that I will have to send this favor in the future." It's a pity that we in Sichuan gathered a few businessmen in the capital, and they were all pulled by you to the Chongqing Hall, and I couldn't send them if I wanted to. ”

"Director Zhang, where did you say this, besides, I have no choice but to do it, if I don't deal with Shopkeeper Yu and Shopkeeper Wen, it will be difficult for Qiao Woman to rebuild the guild hall without rice?"

"It's not easy, it's not easy." Director Zhang walked out of the room, looked back at the Ao family's residence, and sighed: "This is called poverty and change, if it weren't for the fact that the mansion was in disrepair and couldn't continue to operate, Master Ji and they wouldn't agree to turn the trial hall into a commercial hall." What's more important is that with you, if you hadn't come forward to make a statement, the hall would not have been renovated. ”

Thinking of turning the trial hall into a commercial hall and letting the Beijing officials and businessmen call each other brothers, it was really not a glorious thing to say it, Han Xiufeng said with an embarrassed face: "Let Director Zhang laugh." ”

"What are you laughing at, it's true to have silver these days, and if you don't have silver, you have to die to save face and suffer crimes." Director Zhang walked out of the courtyard and turned back and said: "Zhixing, I really didn't know before, but when I heard the shopkeeper Yu say at night, I knew that there was a head in the tea business." I thought that if I want to make a lot of money in this business, I have to spend a lot of money, and if he doesn't have tens of thousands of taels of capital, what will he do to go to the tea garden to collect tea, don't you say? ”

"It makes sense, how much money do you have to do a lot of business." Han Xiufeng thought so.

Curator Zhang thought for a while, and then asked: "Zhixing, I haven't dealt with Shopkeeper Yu before, I don't know how big he is, how big do you say you can make this deal?" ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and muttered: "He should be able to make up seven or eight thousand taels, but it is not easy to make the side tea trade bigger, after all, his opponents are wealthy Western merchants and Hui merchants. ”

"What's the kind of shopkeeper Yu, is he reliable?"

"It's okay to be a person, he can gain a foothold in the capital, and he can make the tea trade so big, he can't do it without credibility."

Director Zhang weighed it, stared at him and said: "Zhixing, I think this is also an opportunity for us, didn't the shopkeeper Yu say that he still wants to thank him before leaving, you probe his tone, and ask him what he plans to do when he goes back." If he wants to become bigger and lacks capital, we might as well buy some shares, we don't care what to do with trading, and just give us dividends at the end of the year! ”
