Chapter 493: Difficulties
"One tenth, that's too little (hopefully I won't wake up for a long time).
Song Zheng sat on the chair, his face like frost.
The time has come to the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring is curling. The construction of the trading building and the warehouse of Huitong Trading Bank has started at the same time. The trading building is next to the Yuhua Building, with a three-story pavilion in front and a large courtyard with two entrances and exits in the back. The warehouse is located in the northwest corner of Jiangning City, not only enclosing 100 acres of fields, but also building three wharves by the river for future goods in and out.
Starting two major projects at the same time, it is really a lot of money. However, the silver earned by Song Zheng and Xu Mingxuan in the casino, coupled with the principal money of Lu Dafu's father and son, was naturally more than enough to meet these expenses.
Huang Yue came forward, and the Ministry of Industry sent an adjutant to contact the project for Huitong Commercial and Trade Bank, which went very smoothly. However, what Song Zheng didn't expect was that the contact with the major families was extremely unsmooth. Whether it is the Xu family or the Ji family, they are only willing to take out one-tenth of the goods and trade in the trading house. And this one-tenth is only one-tenth of the supply of Jiangning City. Even Huang Yue's maternal family, the Bao family, is one-tenth of the number. Several other families, seeing that the Bao family was still like this, naturally did not agree to provide more goods to trade in the trading house.
Although Huang Yue was furious, he was helpless. He himself knew what was going on. It's not because they expected what was behind the business house, but because Huang Yue had a bad reputation, and these big families could provide one-tenth of the goods, but they just wanted to hand them over to this eldest young master for fun. Although Huitong Trade Bank has a great influence in Licheng, it is really not worth mentioning for everyone in Jiangnan.
For example, the Xu family has already purchased the goods of Dajin Changchang in Licheng's trading house, but compared with the huge business of the Xu family, the business of Dajin Changchang is really not worth mentioning. Because Daqi deliberately limited the scale of the farm, and even closed the field several times, this business was dispensable. Otherwise, Xu Mingxuan would not have been assigned to Licheng as a transfer envoy (the latest chapter of Love Cactus).
Although Huang Yue is the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has never done anything serious. This time he was going to get down to business, but people didn't believe him. Lu Dafu, who accompanied Huang Yue to "negotiate", although he repeatedly explained the operation mechanism of the trading house and various "benefits", these big families did not believe Huang Yue at all. Although he was very respectful on the surface, the trace of disdain in his eyes was still easy for Bei Leye to capture when he turned into a small servant. In their eyes, Huang Yue was just a whim, and Lu Dafu was just a small rich man with a whim.
After several interviews with several major families, Huang Yue almost lost his patience. If it weren't for the drastic change in temperament, and with Mu Yi pressing on his side, Huang Yue might have gone crazy on the spot.
Huang Yue's big card was played out, but it didn't have an effect. As soon as Mu Yi and the others put it together, they had to find Song Zheng, who had been hiding behind the scenes, to discuss countermeasures.
During this period of time, Song Zheng was concentrating on training in Huangyue's "Summer Resort", and he didn't pay attention to the business and trade at all. He took a two-month leave from the forbidden army, and when he saw that the vacation was about to expire, he was taken to the private house by Huang Yue in a carriage.
"Xiaolang, although those people say it well, they just don't want to supply more." Mu Yi said with some shame, "The uncle of the eldest prince also counted the eldest prince, which makes people not depressed." ”
At this time, Huang Yue sat on the chair on the other side parallel to Song Zheng, with a gloomy face, and did not say a word. It's just that there are green tendons on his forehead, and he is obviously very angry.
Seeing this, Song Zheng didn't want to provoke Huang Yue's anger again, so he turned his mouth and asked, "Mingxuan, how is your Xu family?" ”
Xu Mingxuan also had annoyance on his face, but he still said in a deep voice, "I have looked for my uncle a few times, but I only met him half a month ago. He didn't listen to my explanation, so he asked me to discuss it with Xu Mingsu on my own. ”
Song Zheng frowned, he naturally knew the grievances between Xu Mingsu and Xu Mingxuan, and Xu Yinshun did this, which showed that he didn't take Xu Mingxuan seriously at all.
Sure enough, Xu Mingxuan said, "Xu Mingsu knew that I was friendly with the eldest prince, but he didn't dare to refuse, but just said to think about it (the latest chapter of the Battle Hell Purgatory)." It was only the day before yesterday that he replied to me, and he also said that he would take one-tenth of the silk business in Jiangning City to the trading house, and as for grain, he did not mention it at all. ”
Although Xu Mingxuan said it simply, judging from his face, the conversation with Xu Mingsu was definitely not so pleasant. In fact, although Xu Mingsu was intimidated by Huang Yue's "prestige" and did not embarrass Xu Mingxuan too much, he was very sarcastic in and out of his words. It's okay for him to talk to Song Zheng privately about this kind of thing, but with so many people sitting together, he doesn't want to show off his family ugliness.
"Have you contacted their merchants?"
"Contacted." It was Lu Chun who replied, "There are some merchants who have dealt with us on the other side of Shandong Road, but they are very welcome to buy goods in the trading house." Other merchants are still waiting. ”
This is easy to understand, after all, the source of goods is mainly under the control of several major families, and although these merchants are willing to buy things in the trading house, they do not want to cut off the direct connection with the big family. lest they turn back and cling to their feet after the business and trade cannot be opened.
"These big families must have a lot of anger behind them, otherwise, they wouldn't have shouted out one-tenth of their share in unison." Bei Leye interjected, "If you don't break through one family, I'm afraid the other big families won't let go." ”
Everyone knows the relationship between Bei Leye and Song Zheng. When Song Zheng did not come forward, Bei Leye was equivalent to half of Song Zheng's spokesperson, so despite his young age, no one dared to ignore him, and on this occasion, he also had a place.
Song Zheng glanced at Bei Leye approvingly, "Xiaobei is right, to break this dilemma, first of all, make a breakthrough." The key point is to choose the right one. Speaking of this, Song Zheng looked at Mu Yi with a smile.
Mu Yi smiled bitterly, "If Xiaolang chooses the breakthrough point in the Bao family, I'm afraid it won't be too satisfying." ”
The Bao family is Huang Yuandu's wife, mainly engaged in cotton cloth and money villages. The famous Chase Money Village is the property of the Bao family. Datong Money Village has a good reputation, and there are branches in all major cities of Daqi (Demon Sword Ji). The money stamps issued by it are extremely popular in the market and can basically be used as cash.
In addition to the silver ticket, the Bao family also has a business, that is, cotton cloth. Unlike the silk of the Xu family, cotton cloth has a very good market in the middle and lower classes. After all, ordinary people can't afford to wear so much silk and satin, and cotton cloth is naturally much more comfortable than linen. Therefore, the cotton cloth business of the Bao family is very large. Huitong Trading Bank does not involve money banks, but cotton cloth business is a must. Like the Ji family's salt, cotton cloth is also a necessity for the people.
The person in charge of the business of the Bao family is named Bao Zhiqing, who is Huang Yue's maternal uncle. Similarly, it is the cousin of Huang Song's mother Bao Lianqing, Huang Song's cousin, who now lives in Yangzhou. In order to connect the affairs of the trade bank, Huang Yue once took Mu Yi and Lu Dafu to Yangzhou in person. However, Bao Zhiqing is not used to Huang Yue, his nephew, and has always thought that his sister Bao Yiqing was angry with Huang Yue. Therefore, there is no good face for Huang Yue. As for Lu Dafu, Bao Zhiqing didn't even see him.
Huang Yue was naturally extremely annoyed. But the cause of his mother's death, Huang Yue also knew that it was too important, so he didn't dare to say it, and he was angry in vain. Maybe Bao Zhiqing felt that his nephew had finally done something serious, and finally gave a tenth of the cloth share. Presumably, the people of the Ji family and the Xu family also heard any rumors, and they all set this number.
"Have you gotten the inscription in the saint's own handwriting?" Song Zheng asked again.
"Not yet." Huang Yue said helplessly, "I'm worried about this matter." I brought it up to him yesterday, and he just asked casually and was going to write. The dead eunuch beside him suddenly said, what kind of pen should be used to inscribe the inscription to Uncle Guo. He also said that the emperor was too tired from reading, and his pen strength might be affected, so it was better to wait until he was in good spirits before writing. The little emperor also listened to him, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to write well for my uncle, and he would write it another day when he was in better spirits. However, I feel that this guy is getting older, and his eyes are also thief, and he can see that my hair is straight, so I can't hold on to anything. Huang Yue's face was very depressed.
"Which father-in-law spoiled our good deeds?"
"It's the one named Xiao Guizi."
Sure enough, it was him! Song Zheng sighed secretly. The so-called people are not as good as the sky, and the money is full of money and becomes the eunuch of the little emperor, and it is easy to ruin Huang Yue's good deeds (read the full text in 1622).
Regarding the matter of becoming a little nobleman with a full cabinet of money, how could Song Zheng not keep it in mind. When he had a deep talk with Li Hongniang a few years ago, he asked about it. But Li Hongniang doesn't know much. At that time, Jiang Kui had ordered her to investigate the sister of the nobleman, and she had some eyebrows just now, but she unexpectedly received Jiang Kui's order to stop the investigation.
Until half a month ago, Song Zheng returned to Jiangning City from the manor and met with Li Hongniang. Li Hongniang mentioned in the casual conversation that the sister of the noble man is now a maid by the side of the county lord Xiao Wei.
Song Zheng was shocked by the news. He immediately understood why Qian Man's cabinet would enter the palace, and he also understood that Yahuan Xiaoying, who he saved twice, was Qian Xiaoying from the same village as him.
With the old scheming of Xiao Juni, he will definitely not arrange the cabinet full of money by the little emperor's side for no reason. There are so many clever little eunuchs in the palace, why do only a cabinet full of money become the personal eunuch of the little emperor? It must be a secret hand in the palace to push. As for leaving Qian Xiaoying in the palace as a maid, it is also a means to control the full cabinet of money.
Song Zheng is very clear about the full cabinet of money. He abolished his life, which can be regarded as a great feud between life and death. And the Qian family's "big case", the murderer pointed directly at Huang Song. Needless to say, the money cabinet must have hated the Huang family to the core. This time, Huang Yue wanted to borrow the pen of the little emperor and inscribed the name of "Huitong Commercial and Trade Bank", and he took the opportunity to embarrass Huang Yue when the money was full. I have to say that this money is full of money and is extremely smart, and he actually persuaded the little emperor on the grounds that he was not in good spirits.
Huang Yue didn't know the story of Song Zheng, the Huang family and the money full of money, although he was a little depressed, but because Xiao Guizi was reasonable, he didn't expect that Xiao Guizi was doing tricks. It's just that Song Zheng is not good at explaining this grievance to Huang Yue. Save Huang Yue from being mad and find a way to deal with the little nobleman. In that case, Huang Yue would have thought of getting the inscription from the little emperor again.
"The matter of the inscription on the saint can be postponed for a while." Song Zheng pondered for a long time, and said, "But for the Bao family, it is urgent." ”~
