"Xiaobao, what you said, you can get it yourself, we don't understand, and the silver is also at home, haha." Wu Sanfu became more and more energetic when he heard Wei Bao talk, and hurriedly poured cold water on him.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, it doesn't matter, I love to do it, I don't like to pull it down, Wei Bao people cooperate, I don't like to force it: "Don't regret it in the future, now I have pulled the population of Liaodong away, and the various families will definitely replenish the population to come in, and there is a period of prosperity inside and outside the Guan." Moreover, a piece of stone is located on the main traffic road, and people from the south and north can reach it, and there is a lot to be done, and I am too busy for a while to tell you about this good thing. ”

In fact, a group of sons and brothers were also moved by what they heard, but these people were not the people in charge of the family.

"When my father comes to the feast in the evening, shall I tell him? But my mouth is not good, it's better for Wei Gongzi to say it yourself, your mouth is amazing. Wang Dongming said with a smile.

Wang Canhua also said: "Who doesn't want to earn money?" And Wei Gongzi has never lost, Wei Gongzi, how much money does this cost? ”

"It depends on what you think, in total, I estimate that it will be about one million taels, thirty or forty taels of silver for a three-story shop, get three or four thousand, and the extra silver will be used to pave the streets together, and it won't cost much silver. A piece of stone can be as big as the three cities of Funingwei, Shanhaiguan, and even Yongping Mansion combined, and it is several times larger! Natural disasters continue in the north, which is not suitable for large-scale agricultural development, and agriculture should be driven by commerce! Let's talk about it first. And it's extremely beneficial for yourselves! If a prosperous mall appears in western Liaoning, the nearby fields will increase in value! It is equivalent to not investing yet, but making money first. "Wei Bao is indeed telling the truth, the good development of Liaoxi, although it has a certain relationship with him, but because Weijiazhuang has been isolated from the outside world, the relationship with Wei Bao himself is not very large. It is the rich people of Liaoxi who can benefit greatly.

"This has nothing to do with my Weijiazhuang, we are separated by city walls, and I don't plan to buy any more land from outside, I am very satisfied if I can get my little bit of land and one acre and three points of land. I wish you all well. Also, I believe that many large households can see this benefit, but no one has been picking the head, so I said, if the third brother takes the lead, and there is our group of classmates and friends to help him, find a hundred big households to buy shares, each family only gives an average of 5,000 to 10,000 taels of silver, and it can return to the capital in two or three years, and there will be dividends every year after that, and the dividends will not be less than three percent. This is a good deal with small profits, not much money, and quick results. Even if only a few families have the privilege of doing business with outside the Guan, just doing business with merchants from all over the north and south of the country is very profitable. Wei Bao encouraged.

The development of this stone city is actually beneficial to Weijiazhuang, because it is close to Weijiazhuang, and the periphery of Weijiazhuang, and the Bulaoting warehouse developed by Weibao is next to it, which is also convenient for Weijiazhuang to carry out business activities with Liaoxi.

Wu Sanfu and several wealthy sons and brothers exchanged heads one after another.

A few thousand taels of silver is not a difficult thing for them, even if the family is not enthusiastic, they can find a way to get it together, the key is to listen to what Wei Bao said is so lively, it seems that the profit is very large, and it is nine times out of ten, who is not tempted?

"Second Master Wu, you can take the lead! With you taking the lead, many people will take shares. As long as everyone's shares are about the same, don't have a particularly big head out, I believe they will come. Wang Canhua said.

Wang Canhua's words are to the point, although the ancestral family and the Wu family are the leaders of the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, but the other big families are actually just at odds with each other, and they are just holding together on the surface. In fact, when encountering major events, especially when it comes to conflicts of interest, each family will make their own calculations, and they are not as united as they seem on the surface, otherwise Wei Bao will not find opportunities again and again to break their balance.

Now I heard that Wei Bao himself did not take the lead in this matter, as long as there was no particularly large family, if he used the huge discourse control of more than one-third, or more than half of the shares, to control a stone city, everyone was really willing to give some silver. After all, the investment is not big.

"I can't, I don't have any money, and you don't know about my family? I'm just an idler, and I don't like to do business, and I don't like to work so much. Wu Sanfu smiled and waved his hand, his head shaking like a rattle: "This kind of thing has to be led by Wei Gongzi." ”

"I'm taking the lead, and they think I'm going to do some tricks." Wei Bao smiled: "The method I proposed can let me enter a natural good." If people don't want me to take a stake, I don't care. I'm doing this for everyone's good! ”

Wei Bao's words are indeed really for the sake of the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and he wants them to quickly recover their strength.

This time, the population has been pulled out so much, and the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong are indeed injured and broken, which is definitely a very bad thing for the border defense of the Ming Dynasty.

These people are officers and soldiers, and they are the main force, without them facing them head-on, Wei Bao would not have been able to lead the Heaven and Earth Society to develop with peace of mind and slowly expand the base area.

Wei Bao repeatedly scolded all the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and these people will definitely fight him to the end.

He was unwilling to dig up his own flesh to subsidize them, so why bother with them in the first place?

Therefore, Wei Bao's only way is to condense the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and take everyone to fight the rich families in the wider surrounding areas!

Didn't all parts of the Ming Dynasty generally look down on the Liaoxi Liaodong borderland, dislike Liaoxi Liaodong's annual subsidy of millions of taels from the imperial court, and don't see any fame in beating Jiannu, and they are all complaining? Then scare you!

This is Wei Bao's current wishful thinking, so that he can try his best to repair the relationship between him and many big families in western and eastern Liaoning, and shift the focus of the conflict.

Otherwise, Wei Bao is worried that he will really make these people have a backlog of anger, and when the backlog reaches a critical point one day, if he really can't hold back the fire, he will really gather soldiers and horses together to scare himself, in that case, he will not be rebelled by the imperial court, and he will not be rebelled by the people below, and he may be intimidated by the local families in Liaoxi and Liaodong first.

The way of rebellion is not President Wei's preferred path after all.

If no one picks up Wei Bao's words, these rich boys, or the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, are now very hostile to Wei Bao, and no one really wants to get involved with Wei Bao.

Everyone still worked together to persuade Wu Sanfu.

"Brother, I'll give you 10,000 taels of silver, I have it. Promise everyone! Wu Xuexia suddenly said to Wu Sanfu.

"That's great, isn't there silver?" Several sons and brothers were very happy.

Wu Sanfu looked at Wu Xuexia and smiled bitterly, "Sister, you are so good to me!" If the eldest brother knows about this, he will definitely blame me for stealing his limelight, I don't want your silver, tell the eldest brother about this? ”

"Don't, Second Master Wu, if you tell your eldest brother or your father, I guarantee that there will not be as many people as you take the lead! If your eldest brother and your father are shareholders, they must account for at least 30% of the shares and be the largest shareholders! Wang Dongming interrupted Wu Sanfu's words.

"Yes, Brother Wang is right." Fang Anping said: "We will give 10,000 taels of silver to each household, and no one is allowed to give more, and when we have gathered the 1 million taels of silver that Wei Bao said, we will stop, 1 million taels of silver can build as big a mall as it is, and it will not cost much to ask for one tael of silver." ”

Several sons unanimously agreed.

Wu Sanfu smiled bitterly: "Okay, if you want me to take the lead, then I will take the lead with Wei Gongzi, anyway, the money from each family is the same, this method was thought up by Wei Gongzi, if he doesn't tell me how to do it, let's get it out of the four different." ”

When several sons heard Wu Sanfu say this, they had no opinion.

Wei Bao smiled: "Then let's do it, more than 30 of our classmates, just take the lead together, and don't take the lead alone." Wu Ergongzi was elected as the president of the Jiliao Chamber of Commerce, and we are all directors of everyone else, and then we are all directors. If everyone can trust me, I will be a secretary for Wu Ergongzi. ”

Wei Bao put his position very low, just Wu Sanfu's secretary, a follower-style character, but in fact, he is the secretary general of the Chamber of Commerce, and his power and reputation are not much lower than that of the president, and there is not much pressure on the president. Wei Bao does not want this false name.

When everyone heard this, they all called this method excellent!

The matter was so happily settled in the first place.

Although Wu Xuexia didn't know what Wei Bao was going to do, she could feel that Wei Bao's series of actions were definitely not infringing on the interests of the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, but mending the relationship, and she was also very happy. Wu Xuexia doesn't like Wei Bao to work against the local big families all the time. Because her father is the one who takes the lead, he is working against the local big family, that is, against the Wu family.

When there is a common interest, a group will gradually form a clear common goal.

In Wei Bao's view, there is no more attractive common goal than making money together. Now he, the children of the rich family of the classmates, is really pinched together by him.

In the business of Liaoxi and Liaodong, although Wu Fu has always been the leader, it has not formed a clear group, and there is no such title as Jiliao Chamber of Commerce.

This also made the merchants in the Jiliao area scattered in terms of organizational form, unable to compete with the Shanxi merchants and Jin merchants who held together.

Wei Bao saw this and wanted to put forward the concept of the Jiliao Chamber of Commerce for a long time, but his qualifications and prestige were not enough, and it was not his turn to raise it, so he took this opportunity to put it forward.

If it was led by Wu Xiangzu's generation, it would not be his turn to kick him.

is led by Wu Sanfu and a few sons, it will be very different. And although these sons and daughters are not in power at home, their families will not support them, let alone oppose their sons to be motivated, right?

Especially these sons, one is counted as one, basically they are all gentlemen, if the family knows that their sons are starting to improve, they can mix the name of the director of the chamber of commerce with only 10,000 taels of silver, and each family must be supportive.

"Childe, Miss, the stored grain and agricultural and sideline food of several of our grain numbers have been emptied by the people of the Heaven and Earth Firm, totaling more than 26,400 taels." At this time, a chief steward of the Wu family came to report.

Wei Bao smiled: "Brother Sanfu, your family's strength is okay?" The grain number of the entire Shanhaiguan is only more than 26,000 taels of silver? Combined with the silver that I bought the clothes just now, it will only add up to 30,000 taels of silver. ”

Wu Sanfu smiled: "I don't know how much grain my family has. Xiaobao, what do you want so much food for? ”

"Food is the bulk of my needs, the more the merrier, and I never said no." Wei Bao laughed.

"I have it at home." When Fang Anping heard this, he hurriedly said: "Second Prince Wu, you can let your guys go to our big grain numbers to collect grain, and we will sell it to you cheaper, and you can sell it to the Heaven and Earth Firm?" ”

Last time, Wei Bao pushed down the price of grain in western Liaoning, and purchased a large amount of grain! Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the grain supply in various localities is still relatively stable, and the millet is only 224 yuan and 1 stone of silver.

Wu Sanfu looked at Wu Xuexia: "Sister, what do you think?" I don't know about my family's business. You are the keeper of the accounts. Do you want to ask your dad about this? ”

"No need to ask, someone buys food, but it can be sold! The treasury of Wu Mansion will leave emergency grain, and the grain of each grain number is not enough, so you can collect grain from each family at a price lower than the market price of 30%, and then sell it to Wei Bao's Tiandi firm, let's sit on the ground and collect money, what's wrong? ”

Fang Anping's face darkened, "Sancheng? Hold down three percent? Miss Wu, you're too dark, aren't you? I and the second son of Wu are brothers. ”

Wu Xuexia said with a smile: "We didn't force you to sell, do business, and be willing to buy and sell." There is no shortage of food now, if the Yongping Mansion knows that the grain at this end of Shanhaiguan is selling well, a large amount of grain will come over tomorrow! Our Wu family still has a lot of grain over there, and after coming over, isn't it cheaper than buying it from you? ”

Fang Anping had nothing to say.

"Master Wei, what are you going to do here? Is it to harvest grain for a while, or for a long time? Don't you want to be a hoarder, right? Wang Canhua asked.

"Hoarding is to harm the people, to harm the locality, I am willing to collect the grain, put it in the warehouse to rot, but also to raise the price, so many people starve to death every year, are all harmed by hoarding, can I do this kind of thing?" Wei Bao said with a smile: "Some people don't care about the lives of ordinary people in order to make black money!" And what I want is a drop in food prices, stability, and plenty of food and clothing for the local people! What Miss Wu said just now is right, the grain in Shanhaiguan is sold out, and the grain from Yongping Mansion will come over in a few days. The grain in Yongping Mansion is sold out, and in a few days, the grain from Beizhili and Shandong will come over! When the grain in North Zhili and Shandong is insufficient, the grain from Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, and South Zhili will come over. When people go to high places, goods also go to high places, and where the price is good, they will naturally go to which end. I have gained a lot of people for a while, and I want to prepare for the winter, and I now have more than 30 million taels of silver in my hand! It is expected to be divided into two months, and it will be purchased every ten days in the Bulao Pavilion outside Weijiazhuang! A total of six phases of acquisition completed! The development of a stone city can be carried out during this time, and I can be regarded as a hot field for everyone, so that everyone can see the Bulao Pavilion, a stone city, and Funing City. These three places are in the shape of a product zigzag, next to each other, and can be called Jiliao's new business district in the future! Otherwise, Shanhaiguan and Yongping Mansion are too far apart, resulting in a large area of barren land in the middle of western Liaoning, if there is no strong business district to take the lead, it is not conducive to the economic promotion of the entire western Liaoning. ”

Only then did everyone realize, and they sighed together, and they understood a little.

At first, I thought that Wei Bao just wanted to get a shopping mall, it seems that it is far more than that, they feel that they are underestimating Wei Bao's overall situation, what Jiliao new business district really gets, for the entire western Liaoning, and even including the economic structure of eastern Liaoning, it will be a big adjustment!

"This is not a small matter, just tonight at dinner, I will talk to the people in charge. In Shanhaiguan alone, there are nearly half of the large households in western Liaoning. Wang Dongming said.

Several sons nodded in agreement, all thinking that they should.

"Wei Gongzi, then you buy so much grain, do you really have 30 million taels of silver? Do you really have to buy it yourself? "Fang Anping is the young master of the grain number shopkeeper, or knows a little about the doorway, and the question he asks is very central.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Of course, no, in that case, wouldn't the rich families in Liaoxi not be able to get any oil and water?" What I did before, although it was out of public interest! But it is considerable that it has damaged the interests of the rich families a little, so I want to make up for it for everyone. I don't buy food from outsiders. I mainly buy from the Wu family, and if the Wu family is not enough, they will inevitably buy from each of you. In this way, will everyone have money to earn? ”

Wei Bao's route is very simple, he himself is the general merchant, the Wu family is the general generation, and the wealthy families in Liaoxi and Liaodong have naturally become wholesalers. It's really all about having some benefits.

Wei Bao is also a last resort, if you don't let all the families get the benefits, his plan is impossible to implement, it can be said that the rich households in Liaoxi and Liaodong will join forces to oppose him, and the pass is strictly controlled, not to mention the grain in Shanxi, Henan, Anhui and Nanzhili, which are far away, is the grain of Beizhili and Shandong, and don't want to enter Liaoxi with a grain of rice!

If you really want to invest 30 million taels of silver to buy grain at one time, then the grain in Liaoxi and Liaodong will not be worried, not to mention that the population of Liaoxi and Liaodong has decreased sharply during this time, and there are no tenant farmers in their hands, and there is no food pressure.

This is purely a reselling of grain, the left hand into the grain, the right hand for money, who is not happy?

Who doesn't want the good thing of sitting on the ground and collecting money? Everyone said that it was a good thing, so they hooked up with Wei Gongzi.

One by one, they called each other, and the competition told about the friendship of classmates, and it seemed that there was no unhappiness before.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, seeing that no one asked him if he really had 30 million taels of silver, he was relieved!

Where did Wei Bao get the 30 million taels of silver?
