"I've been busy, I haven't counted it carefully, I will rest in the afternoon, and I will take a look at the statistics in a while. There are a lot of guys, and when the purchase is finished, I will choose a batch in my hometown when I have time. ”

"Without further ado, let's do the statistics. If the procurement of materials is almost complete, I will also urge the shipyard to build the ship, and those that can be loaded will be loaded first, so as not to be in a hurry later. Don't lie down, I'll help you see. Yang Congyi drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, put the teacup down, and got up to go out.

Tang Xun opened his eyes lazily, cheered up, and got up to follow.

A large waterproof and fireproof box was dragged out, and the lock on the box was opened, only to see that the box was full of contracts.

It's really hard to estimate how many contracts there are, and there are not a few of them. There are large and small amounts in the contract, and the large amount is the vast majority, except for the contract before the deferred payment discount has a small addition, and the subsequent contract amount is more than 100,000 yuan. Looking at so many contracts, Tang Xun's confidence doubled, and he instantly came to his senses.

The two locked themselves in their rooms and immediately began to classify all the contracts according to the different types of goods and materials, and then counted the quantities and values of each category.

was busy until dark, and finally calculated all the contracts in a box, and the final result scared Tang Xun a lot.

There are 2,846,000 pieces of silk, 1,354,000 pieces of brocade, 5,762,000 pieces of porcelain, 22,600,000 pounds of tea, and other small objects such as folding fans, fans, pen, ink, paper, inkstones, bamboo mats, musical instruments, etc., which are not many in number, and add up to only a few hundred thousand pieces.

The value of all the materials has reached 12,873,469 yuan, far exceeding the original return fund of 3 million yuan.

This huge data made Tang Xun stunned, and Yang Congyi couldn't rub his hands.

It is impossible for fifty ships to load so many commodities, and tea alone requires thirty ships of two thousand materials, and porcelain is large and small, and it takes up space. If the materials can't get out, they have to be smashed in their own hands, and when the time comes, where will there be money to pay double to the businessmen who signed the deferred payment contract.

The purchase of so many goods, far beyond expectations, the merchant profit-seeking, a large number of goods and materials are allowed back to the Yi Supervision Office, now that the contract has been signed, there is no remorse, otherwise the compensation will have to be a large amount.

How good is that! Yang Congyi and Tang Xun looked at each other speechlessly, facing such expected problems that the two of them had never thought of, their heads were as big as a fight. Before, they had been thinking about the problem of insufficient commodities and materials, and in the blink of an eye, they had to worry about the huge amount of materials that had been determined to be purchased.

"Brother Tang, what do you want to do with so many supplies?" Yang Congyi was speechless.

"This is only a part, the official kiln and the brocade courtyard have not been counted, and the number will be even more. Since you want to do big business, then use a hundred ships and ship them all! Tang Xun suddenly became high-spirited, sweeping away the previous gloomy atmosphere.

"You say something nice, how do you ship it out?" Yang Congyi almost jumped up, he really didn't have a backache when he sat and talked. At the beginning of the year, he had ordered fifty seagoing ships to carry goods, and now it was the end of May, where would he have time to build ships again.

"Brother Yang, don't get excited, I think so, since I have already purchased so many materials, it would be a pity not to make money with them. 12 million yuan, go out for a spin, not to mention ten times, five times can always earn back, you think about what a big number. There are countless boats in the rivers, it's too late to build, it's too late to buy, we still have a lot of money in our hands, just buy the boats. Tang Xun was very excited, how much money could be made from these materials, he couldn't imagine at all, there was no doubt that it was a number that no one had ever seen.

"Buying a boat? There are a lot of boats in the river and lake, all of which are flat-bottomed boats that can't resist strong winds and waves, and they can't go out to sea at all, so what's the use of buying them. Otherwise, let's pick these contracts again, destroy the contracts that are too far away from Lin'an and Quanzhou, and the transportation is inconvenient, and lose some money, so that we can earn it back soon when we go to sea, otherwise these materials will be piled up in Quanzhou by then, and the fleet will not be able to go to sea this year, so we have to wait for next year, a year, and all the plans will be messed up. Yang Congyi looked at Tang Xun with some annoyance, this guy is really unreliable, if something didn't happen today, he would come to check the contract, I don't know how much he will buy later.

"Breaking the contract? You're crazy! Do you know who signed the contract? Tang Xun was startled, and the tea in his hand almost spilled.

"It's not all businessmen, lose some money, just say it." How can businessmen compete with the imperial court, now they purchase too much, return some of them, and lose money?

"They are businessmen, but they are not ordinary businessmen, ordinary people can sell 100,000 yuan of materials, and they don't have to pay within two years? These businessmen are not ordinary people, or there are people behind them, either there are people who are big officials in their ancestors, or there are high-ranking officials behind them, most of them are relatives of high-ranking officials, or people who make money for high-ranking officials. My ancestors did not have a big official, they have been in the medicinal materials business for generations, although the family property also has hundreds of thousands of yuan, but to immediately take out 50,000 yuan of materials, two years without payment, after two years the family property will be lost, business without capital turnover, can not do business at all.

You look at these people who sign contracts, scrambling to be the first, there are a few people who seem to be short of money, and those who are not short of money are almost not pure businessmen, they have a stable income, a lot of savings, who has a stable income? There are only officials and big landlords, and how many big landlords have no one in their families who are officials? So at the end of the day, you should understand that we can't afford to mess with these people who have signed a contract, and we have to give them double the money after two years. ”

After Tang Xun finished speaking, he picked up three more contracts and handed them to Yang Congyi, and then said, "Look at it, what is the relationship between them." ”

Yang Congyi sighed secretly, he still thought it was simple, wouldn't it be the same in the future, which big businessman has no intertwined relationship behind him, and he can rely on it if he can be big, now that the status of a businessman is so low, he can still be so rich, it doesn't matter, how can he start from scratch.

After carefully looking at the three contracts, it seemed that they had nothing to do with each other, so he asked, "What else does it have to do with the fact that they are all silk?" ”

"The three contracts are actually a family, and the same person signed three contracts with me, using three names, and each contract is 150,000 yuan. A businessman with 450,000 yuan of spare money? I haven't seen it. Some people, who have a lot of spare money hidden at home, can take out 450,000 yuan of spare money, and have at least 1 million yuan of spare money at home, and then you think about how many assets they have. There are countless wealthy families in the thousands of acres of fertile land, and I really don't know how many of these contracts are the same family, how dare we offend them easily. It's better to find a way to ship all these supplies out and make money back. ”

Yang Congyi put down the contract, the two sesame petty officials really can't afford to provoke the wealthy, if they want to be promoted, they have to make money for them, maybe they make money and are happy, maybe they can be promoted smoothly in the future.

"Then I'll find a way to get the boat together." Yang Congyi cheered up, this is also something that can't be helped, he has been busy for almost half a year, if he falls short, it will be too unwilling.

"Then it's fortunate Brother Yang, if the sea ship in Quanzhou is built, give me news as soon as possible." Tang Xun seemed very relaxed, and he just waited for the delivery of the materials in the next few months.

"Good. If you continue to purchase this purchase, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fit a hundred ships, and I won't be able to conjure up a ship at that time. Yang Congyi let out a long breath.

"There are only a few days left in May, May 30 will officially end, and tomorrow we will start to reduce the speed of negotiations and strive to control it within 1 million."

"Okay, just control it. How much money do we have at our disposal? ”

"About 700,000 yuan, how much do you need?"

"The more the merrier, first allocate me 100,000 yuan, and then set the boat down." The money for the Quanzhou shipyard has to be given, and it will also cost a lot of money to build new ships, and 50 new ships will be added, and it is really up to the question of whether they will be able to go to sea this year.

Tang Xun put the contract in the box and packed it, locked it with a lock, and waited for everything to be done, and it was dark all night.

"Brother Yang, let's go out for a meal, we haven't eaten together for a long time." Tang Xun was full of smiles.

"I'm in a bad mood, I can't eat, I don't go." Yang Congyi took a sip of herbal tea and simply refused.

"Brother Yang, don't be so stingy, I'll treat you today, and you can choose in Lin'an City."

"Then let's drink flower wine." Yang Congyi put down the teacup.

"I didn't expect Brother Yang that you are such a person, and you want to go by yourself, so I won't invite you." Tang Xun's eyes narrowed, and his smile converged.

"Hahaha...... Then you still said that I will choose. I have a headache now, I don't want to go anywhere, let's talk about it later, I'm going back to rest. Yang Congyi got up and left.

As soon as he left the door, a servant stepped forward and said, "Lord Yang, someone outside the courtyard is looking for you." ”

Yang Congyi didn't ask much, and he thought that there was only a businessman surnamed Wang.

When I went to the gate of the courtyard, I saw that it was him. I saw that he was empty-handed, and the scimitar should have been returned.

"Lord Yang, I'll give you something." When the businessman surnamed Wang saw Yang Congyi come out, he immediately spoke.

"Come in and say."

As soon as Yang Congyi gave the order, the guards let him go.

Back in the room, light the lamp, close the door, and sit down.

"Outside the king, the token has been delivered."

"Fortunately, it was delivered. In the afternoon, it was sent to the Jin Guoxing Pavilion and given to the Jin people, and after they saw it, they also let me leave the address and name. Half an hour ago, I was at the inn, and someone brought me two carts of things and a letter, which I thought was for adults. The merchant surnamed Wang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Congyi.

Yang Congyi was slightly startled, took the letter and took a look, the seal was intact, not a word was written on the envelope, and he couldn't be sure who it was for. But he didn't think too much about it, and immediately opened the envelope and took out a letter, which was full of pages, and naturally it was written in Chinese.
