[22] Wenzhou merchants

"Yizhang~~" The old man put his hands behind his back

"Famous and Gentleman Qingyizhang~~" Gu Yushan said loudly, and the guy on the side immediately took out scissors and a ruler to cut a piece of cloth

Gu Yushan handed the cloth to the old man, and said tentatively: "I really came to the right place, Haiyang is rich, and I can eat meat if I want to, this cloth can naturally be sold well~"

The old man is Lu Wenzhou, he smiled and said: "It's an exaggeration, this time the leaders are all the family members of Song Gongzi~"

"Oh?" Gu Yushan smiled and nodded, "The meat in my old woman's hands is at least three or four catties, I don't know how many families this Song Gongzi has raised?" ~”

Lu Wenzhou crossed his five fingers

"Fifty~~" Gu Yushan was shocked, "Two hundred catties of meat alone will be distributed~~"

"No, it's five hundred~ Lu Wenzhou replied with a smile

"Five hundred?" Gu Yushan closed his mouth in surprise

Lu Wenzhou smiled and said, "I'm just a new teacher, and I have to ask the old military households in Haiyang for details~~" After that, Lu Wenzhou hooked the string on the cloth with his fingers and walked leisurely

"Why are you stunned?" Gu Yushan glanced at the two guys, "Still shouting?" ”

"Yes~The owner~~" The two guys raised their throats and shouted: "The best Songjiang flower cloth ~~ Eight dollars and a foot~"

After a while, Xu Cui's led a group of military sisters-in-law to carry grain bags to change cloth, and then more military households took grain to exchange cloth, and many people surrounded the stall in Guyushan. It's just that the military households who came to exchange cloth were all exchanging food, and none of them took cash, and the wheat flour piled up at the foot of Guyu Mountain was getting higher and higher. This made Gu Yushan worry about how to transport these things away later.

Trampling~~Trampling~ Not far away, there was the sound of a horseshoe knocking on the bluestone slab, and a young man riding a jujube red high-headed horse appeared on the stone street.

"Song Gongzi~~"

"Song Gongzi~"

The people on the stone street saluted him

"It turns out that he is Song Gongzi~" Gu Yushan looked up at Song Youliang on his horse, "Sure enough, he is young and handsome, and he is a talent~" Gu Yushan couldn't help but say

Song Youliang rode on a horse, condescendingly saw Gu Yushan a long time ago, he stopped in front of the Gu Yushan stall, and the people around him gave way, "You are the Gu shopkeeper of Gu Yushan, please take a step to speak~~"

Song Youliang invited Gu Yushan to his home, and the Song family's mansion is still the same, but after repairs, it is still the appearance of a farmhouse. Gu Yushan didn't think so, thinking that the military family's house should probably be like this.

The old mother served two teas for Song Youliang and Gu Yushan, which were bought from Yinchuan a few days ago and specially used to entertain guests. Gu Yushan took a sip lightly, "Longjing? It's still tea before the rain~" Gu Yushan muttered in a low voice

Song Youliang was stunned, he only knew that this tea was Longjing, but he was a layman before and after the rain, "The ancient shopkeeper is a person who understands tea~~"

Gu Yushan smiled bitterly, "My hometown is Wenzhou, and my family did tea business with Hongyi, Waguo, and Aoyi in the early years, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, so I came here to open a cloth village~"

"No matter what, the ancient shopkeeper is the first to come to my Haiyang to do business, that is, to give me enough face for Xia~" Song Youliang bowed

Gu Yushan also hurriedly returned the salute, smiled faintly, and said: "To tell the truth, someone Gu had never heard of Gongzi's name before, let alone give face. Someone came here just for money~"

Song Youliang burst out laughing, laughing so hard that Gu Yushan's heart suddenly bottomed up. "The Gu shopkeeper is really quick to talk and outspoken~ In this case, then someone in Xia will talk to the Gu shopkeeper about money~"

Gu Yushan was full of curiosity about this young man and asked, "Does Song Gongzi have any business to take care of Gu Someone?" ”

Song Youliang nodded seriously, "Presumably the ancient shopkeeper should have discovered that the people of my Haiyang Institute used to buy salt, cloth and other things, and they used grain, not cash~"

Gu Yushan replied with a smile: "That's nature, now Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, and the Central Plains continue to have natural disasters, and grain prices have risen sharply. Silver and hunger are not foodable and cold and clothing, and they are not as real as food, but ~~ bartering is not a long-term solution after all. It's not conducive to trading~~ For example, Gu came to Guibao to sell cloth this time. The cloth is selling well, but the same wheat flour that is piled up into a hill~~ Gu is worrying about how to transport them back~~"

"Then~~ I asked the Gu shopkeeper to underwrite the grain of Haiyang~~" Song Youliang's eyes widened and leaned forward, "How?" ”

"Underwriting? Seriously? "Gu Yushan has seen the vast fields outside Haiyang, and he has also heard the harvest of grain in Haiyang, so he doesn't need to calculate at this moment to know how attractive and amazing the profits are. Jiubian is located in the Ming Frontier, and how many Shanxi merchants have to consume grain, salt, cloth and other materials in a year to get rich by supplying grain and wages to the border?

Song Youliang stretched out five fingers, and Gu Yushan asked tentatively, "Five thousand stones?" ”

"No, it's 50,000 stones~~" Song Youliang was solemn, without the slightest hint of joking, "Xia can sign the words with the ancient shopkeeper." In addition to underwriting grain, there are many business opportunities waiting for the ancient shopkeeper in the future~"

"Fifty thousand stones?" Gu Yushan leaned back and almost fell from his chair

"What? Is the ancient shopkeeper too little? Song Youliang deliberately asked, "Can't eat enough?" ”

"No, no, no~~ Gu Mou has a small business, and he can't take out so much cash at once~~ I can't eat it~" Gu Yushan's eyes rolled and said: "But Gu Mou has his own way, but can Song Gongzi give Gu a month's time?" ”

"A month?" Song Youliang frowned slightly, "This castle is in urgent need of cash today, I thought that the ancient shopkeeper could~~"

"I don't know how much cash Song Gongzi needs?" Gu Yushan gritted his teeth, "Gu can pay a sum of cash to the son first, and the right to make a deposit~"

"Ben Fort urgently needs a thousand pounds of pig iron, eight hundred cowhides, and four hundred horses of black cloth." Song Youliang said word by word: "It takes about three thousand taels~"

Gu Yushan laughed and said: "Childe, you buy expensive, if Childe packs these things to me Gu Yushan, within a month, my Gu Yushan guarantees that the goods will be delivered, the goods are genuine, and it will only cost two thousand five hundred taels~"

"Okay, that boy will wait for you for a month~~"

"A word is a certainty, but there is no basis for words, can the son make a written note?" Gu Yushan raised his hand

"Of course you can~~" Song Youliang got up, "Come on, the four treasures of the study are waiting~~" Song Youliang is also a person who has read books at this moment. After setting up the note, Gu Yushan didn't even want cloth and food, hurried back to Laiyang, and then rushed to Xi'an non-stop.

In less than a month, Gu Yushan really arrived as promised, and with him, there were five rich middle-aged men. Gu Yushan introduced: "Song Gongzi, let me introduce, these four are several shopkeepers of several major halls in Xi'an: Wu Zhizhi Wu of Jiangsu Hall, Tong Jinyingtong of Zhejiang Hall, Chen Zhili Chen of Fujian Hall, Li Mingsheng Li of Anhui Hall~~" Saying that, Gu Yushan pointed to a tall and rugged man and said: "This is Ji Huiji's shopkeeper in Xi'an." ”

"Shopkeepers, be polite~" Song Youliang saluted the five people

The five of them also immediately returned the salute, "Song Gongzi is polite~"

Gu Yushan arched his hand and said: "Song Gongzi, 7,000 catties of pig iron, 1,000 cowhides and 600 pieces of black cloth are all ready, please send someone to check it~"
