Chapter 622: The Great Treasurer of the Capital
The chief treasurer of the capital of the eight Jin merchants had great power, although he did not control the shops, teahouses, and restaurants of a province like the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi.
As the richest place in the world, the capital follows the owner of the family all the year round, and the chief of staff of the capital is equivalent to the chief of staff of the Jin business owner.
is not lower than the status of the provincial governors, and even has a little more cronies.
Zhu Shun followed the stall head, passing by the long streets and alleys in the capital, and finally came to Shiwangfu Street.
I didn't expect such a businessman who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country to live so prominently.
When I came to the mansion of the big shopkeeper in the capital, I came to the door where there were two stone lions, and there was a middle-aged man wearing silk waiting at the door.
The stall head reminded in a low voice: "This person is the big shopkeeper of the Jin family of the Eight Great Jin Merchants in the capital." ”
Zhu Shun heard this reminder and glanced at the big shopkeeper in the capital a few more times, this ability to treat people and things is really leaky.
has become the status of a big treasurer, and most of his friends are high-ranking officials of the six ministries.
Even if Father-in-law Fang is the stall head of the twenty-four yamen, he is just a eunuch in the eyes of the world, and the big shopkeeper of the capital can actually come to the door to greet him.
He was greeted by a eunuch, and if this was spread, it would be very bad for his reputation.
said that he had an egg, but he actually went to greet an eggless, without any backbone.
It was such a simple move, and Zhu Shun immediately raised his vigilance against him and attached great importance to him.
In addition, there was another point, which made Zhu Shun's new students even more vigilant, as soon as they came to the door, the big shopkeeper of the capital came out to greet them.
The stall head seemed to see Ma Yougui's thoughts, pulled a position away, and said in a low voice: "The Jin family is just a few hundred or thousands of brothers. ”
"This big treasurer of the capital has been appointed for a few months, and he is still a son-in-law, and he must have his uniqueness to stand out from so many ancestral hall disciples and become the big treasurer of the capital with such a big power."
"This big shopkeeper in the capital has raised a group of brokers, and all the people selected are people who are not good-looking, but have a very good memory."
"Standing at the mouth of each alley on Shiwangfu Street all day long, four or five people together, remembering the appearance of all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital in batches."
The three of them walked to the lobby of the mansion together, and the big shopkeeper of the capital asked the beautiful maid to pour a cup of tea for each of them, and took the initiative to ask: "Father-in-law Fang came this time, what are you doing?" ”
The head of the stall was not verbose, and directly stated his purpose: "It's not a big deal to come here this time, it's just that I fell in love with a stone mountain in Luoyang." ”
The Jin family, one of the eight Jin merchants, has countless fields and land deed mines in the capital.
There are also a large number of mines north of the Yellow River, but there is only one stone mountain near Luoyang, which is still an unusable waste mountain.
The stones on the mountain looked so hard that they shattered with your hands.
When the big shopkeeper of the capital heard that he was going to buy the waste mountain in Luoyang, he frowned, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.
When the Jin family bought this stone mountain, they took a fancy to the stone of this stone mountain and prepared to build a mansion for the dignitaries and dignitaries in Luoyang.
Who would have thought that all those stones would be broken as soon as they were broken, and the stall head actually said that he wanted to buy Luoyang's stone mountain, and the big shopkeeper in the capital wanted to leave a favor here at the head of the Dongchang stall.
After all, the stone mountain, which has more than a dozen mountains of all sizes, is not the private property of the big shopkeeper in the capital.
Even if he had the courage, he didn't dare to embezzle so many mines without permission, all of them belonged to the long house of the Jin family ancestral hall.
After the stall of the twenty-four yamen was bought, if something went wrong, this sin would definitely fall on the big shopkeeper in the capital.
If the big shopkeeper in the capital reminded him of this matter in advance, so that the stall head avoided losing money, this favor would also fall on him.
With the prudence and shrewdness of the big shopkeeper in the capital, and being able to sit in such an important position, he will definitely not be a villain face of the people in the market.
At his level, it has long been no longer people who step on people, but people who praise people.
The big shopkeeper of the capital opened his mouth and said the waste of this stone mountain, and warned the stall head not to waste silver in vain.
Zhu Shun heard that he took the initiative to remind Gonggong Li of this matter, and his vigilance against him was raised by one point, and his attention was also raised by one point.
No matter how he is raised, this big treasurer of the capital still has to find a way to throw him into the Yongding River.
The Grand Treasurer of the capital was able to stand out from the many children of the ancestral hall, in addition to his personal talent, he also controlled an important trade route, which was also a trade route for transporting grain to Jiannu.
Zhu Shun had already found out his details before he came, and the desire to kill him was even more urgent, and he couldn't wait to kill him with a knife now.
In this era, there was no navigation, no road where you could reach your destination by car, and no landmarks that could be recognized at a glance.
There are barren mountains and mountains everywhere, especially the trade route to Jiannu, which is full of deep mountains and old forests after crossing the Great Wall.
Whether it is a Ming person or a modern person with all kinds of equipment.
As long as you throw it into an unfamiliar deep mountain and old forest, you can't even find the direction, let alone get out, or you will starve to death in a few days.
Like this, the big shopkeeper of the capital who has mastered a trade route can take the caravan out of the endless mountains and old forests by virtue of his own experience and the marks he knows.
Eventually, grain and other goods were transported to the territory of the slaves.
Although Zhu Shun, the big shopkeeper of the capital, was in a more urgent mood, after all, as long as he was killed, it would be equivalent to cutting off a grain trade route for the Jin family.
cut off one of the food sources for Jiannu.
But it didn't prevent Zhu Shun from being surprised by his talents, the terrain in the deep mountains and old forests would keep changing with the growth of trees.
This is the reason why there are very few people who can master the trade route, and this big shopkeeper in the capital can actually master a grain trade route, and this person's talent is definitely the best among the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.
thought that he was the best, and Zhu Shun was even more refreshing when he killed.
The stall head glanced at Zhu Shun without leaving a trace, and seeing that he still didn't have any reaction, he insisted: "Our family knows that Shishan's is useless." ”
"This time our family is here for a friend, and he has no other purpose, just to buy more land."
"It doesn't matter if you can't produce silver, just look at it and be happy."
Regarding the words of the stall leader, the big shopkeeper of the capital would only choose to believe half of it, pondered for a moment and said: "You can't make your own decisions about this matter. ”
"Father-in-law Fang will go back first, and I will give Father-in-law Fang an answer tomorrow."
Father-in-law Fang nodded, stood up, and left the mansion of the great treasurer of the capital with Zhu Shun.
