Chapter 14 Misdemeanor
Kong Fan, who dressed up in disguise and came to Xiyang City in Huangzhou, the enemy country, was the fortunate minister of Chen Shubao, the emperor of Chen State, and was also a member of the court, but now he talked and laughed with Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou, who plagued Chen State. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since Yu Wenwen took office as the assassin of Bazhou and began to sell glass mirrors, there are only a handful of businessmen in Chen Guo who can catch this golden mountain, after all, the two countries are hostile, and the people who can safely travel to and from the border of Zhou and Chen cannot do without a strong owner.
The glass mirror with a price of more than 5,000 yuan is 10,000 yuan as soon as it changes hands in Jiankang, and the 100% profit makes many people's eyes red, but Yuwen Wen has soldiers, and no one dares to rob it.
The king of Shixing, who didn't know what to do, dared to make a move, and then everyone saw it, what a decisive battle at the top of Xiyang, what a three-point true dragon qi, what a one-legged bronze man, if he died, he died!
The hard one can't only come to the soft one, but there are very few people who can get on the line with Yuwenwen and make money by doing business with peace of mind, and Kong Fan's shopkeeper is one of them, and Kong Fan has been trading for several years, and Kong Fan has made a fortune with it.
However, in order to please the emperor, in order to please the emperor's favorite concubine, in order to please the emperor's close attendants, Kong Fan's money spent is like flowing water, and it is more and more inseparable from the profits brought by the glass mirror business.
Not only that, Bazhou (now renamed Huangzhou) produced more valuable goods, books, cloth, these two things are also fast money, although it is impossible to compare with the glass mirror, but small profits but quick turnover, transported to Jiankang to sell that is money.
The only problem is that this is a trade with the enemy country, if you can't handle it, you can't do it, after all, the glass mirror can be carried around, and a fleet is not so easy to fool, but this can't help Kong Fan, as a big celebrity in front of the emperor, he has many ways to shut up General Chen Guobian.
It is a waste to have the right not to use, and if he can organize a fleet to take risks and do business with Zhou Guo, then he must make good use of this resource and maximize profits as much as possible.
At the same time, it is necessary to give benefits to people with power, and the side generals will release according to the time, and the fleet has twenty ships at one time, and two ships are also at one time, so in order to be worthy of the road money, the size of the fleet cannot be small, so the purchase volume must be large.
But what if the seller doesn't sell you so many goods?
Kong Fan can deal with the border generals of Chen State, but not on the side of Zhou State, the Zhou army has now captured Yingzhou and cut off the Yangtze River route, west of Jiangzhou of Chen State, is the boundary of Zhou State Qizhou.
The Qikou Zhou Guoshui military camp is heavily guarded, and there are Xisaishan Water Village and Wuzhou Shushui Village upstream, Chen Guo's officials and soldiers dare not break in, and businessmen don't even think about it, if they want to have a smooth journey, the problem is still Yu Wenwen.
You have to get this one's approval!
The governor of Huangzhou, the envoy of the festival supervised the eight states of Huang, Heng, Qi, Luo and other twenty defense military forces; The only seller of the glass mirror, the big owner behind the scenes of Huangzhou Bookstore and Cloth Workshop, whether it works or not, is just between his words.
How to talk to this one? Those shopkeepers are not good, they are not qualified, at most they will pass on a word, and in the end, they have to have a weighty person to interview, which is only qualified by the owners behind the scenes, and among these people, Kong Fan is duty-bound.
The risk is very high, first, what if Yu Wenwen turns his face, catches him and parades in the streets, or takes the opportunity to blackmail and do something that is not very worthy of the court?
Second, if the matter is leaked, the crime of fornicating with the enemy country to do business is not serious.
After thinking about it, Kong Fan still decided to take a risk, first of all, he felt that Yuwenwen would not get along with Qian, at most he would coerce him to cooperate, and from time to time reveal the details of Jiankang, that is, to be eyes and ears.
It doesn't matter, the Chen official family doesn't take the country seriously, what does this country have to do with him Kong Fan?
In order to compete for power, Kong Fan even married the emperor's favored Concubine Kong as a brother and sister, this woman from a humble background, he can beg to bow in a low voice, and collude with enemy officials, what's not to do?
As for the leakage of the matter, it is not impossible, but if you plan carefully and hide your whereabouts, the chances are much smaller, and if things can be negotiated, then the profits will increase greatly.
What's more, Kong Fan has met with Yu Wenwen a few times in Jiankang!
When Yu Wen, Yuwen, and Kong Fan regained their tastes, Yu Langjun had already gone to Bazhou, and it was not until later that he made some good joints and contacted Yuwenwen that he was sure that Yu Wen was Yuwenwen back then.
"Yu Langjun, Jiankang has been farewell for two years, and the demeanor of Yu Langjun's drunken poetry that day, Kong still remembers it vividly."
"I'm ashamed, Yu Mou lost his words after drinking that day, which made Mr. Kong smile." Yu Wenwen smiled, "I don't know how Guan Langjun is doing lately?" ”
"Guan Langjun is as happy as ever, since I received Yu Langjun's letter, I learned that Langjun was going to take his family away to fly away and return to the mountains and forests, I was quite melancholy for a few days, but I still miss it from time to time."
"Nai, Nai..." Yuwenwen told the truth, but he was a member of the Zhou clan, and it was impossible for him to be a courtier of Emperor Chen, not to mention that Chen Guo was already declining, and it would be over sooner or later.
The two continued to talk and finalize some details, first of all, Kong Fan's side did not need and was not allowed to organize a fleet to go west, just like other Chen merchants, he wanted to buy a ship in Xiyang to load the goods and then go downstream.
Because Yuwenwen still wants to be faced, he can't strictly order the soldiers to guard the river to the death, and then let them turn a blind eye and let a large fleet pass under their noses and go upstream.
This also involves security issues, he doesn't want to hide Chen Jun in the fleet one day, like Lu Meng of the Three Kingdoms, to cross the river in white clothes, and the result is "careless loss of Huangzhou".
The principle must not be shaken, and then everything else is easy to say, Yuwenwen will not get along with money, and the goods to Kong Fan, whether it is books or various fabrics, will be doubled, and the glass mirror will increase the share of Kong Fan and several of his "little partners" by two sides every month.
In the territory of the Zhou State, the fleet can sail down the river with the guidance of the road, and thinking that Kong Fan is so sincere, he personally ran to Xiyang and presented four glass mirrors as Cheng Yi.
Of course, there are conditions, but the first one is unexpected by Kong Fan: collect all kinds of books in Jiangnan, not only the subset of scriptures and history, but also Buddhist scriptures.
The family, the temple, and the collection of books in the palace treasury in Taicheng are all wanted, but they are not "wanted" for themselves, they are asked to borrow and copy by Kong Fan, and the manuscript is handed over to Yuwenwen, and the original book is returned.
Of course, it is to make money from publishing, and as a partner, Kong Fan can also have a "share".
This kind of thing is nothing to Kong Fan, he is the emperor's favorite minister, whether it is borrowed from the palace treasury or borrowed from the family, it is not difficult, but he is a little surprised that Yuwenwen cares so much about books.
Secondly, it is to provide shelter and provide necessary protection for Yuwenwen's industry when it is traded in Jiankang, to put it bluntly, it is to be a backer, which Kong Fan has long been mentally prepared.
Buying and selling? Who knows if what you are doing is a real deal or a fake deal, the shopkeeper and man, if you don't do it or do it carefully, it is not necessary to specialize in spying on all kinds of things, but Kong Fan doesn't care.
This country is not his Kong!
There are also some "in-depth cooperation", and after Yu Wenwen opens his store in Jiankang, he will have a detailed discussion with "pen pal" Kong Fan.
Kong Fan took a huge risk to go to Xiyang City in Huangzhou and gained a lot, and Yu Wenwen finalized a large deal and opened up a market for him and his friends, which was a great joy for everyone.
The dirty deal, the collusion of the collusion, was reached in the spring of the sixth year of Orthodoxy.
After arranging Kong Fan's return, Yuwen Wen quietly left the small courtyard with a happy face, he was not only happy about other transactions, but also about this transaction, there is a detail that the other party may not have noticed, that is, the ship.
The merchants from Chen Guo are now all on the shore in front of Qikou Water Village, and the copper coins and equivalents used as payment for goods are counted at the place designated by Yuwenwen, and then they go to Xiyang by land.
After buying goods, you can only buy a ship in Xiyang to load the cabin, and then go down the river back to Jiankang, so the shipbuilding industry in Huangzhou is very prosperous!
Not only to transport books and cloth downstream, but also to transport cargo ships in Huangzhou, which also need to transport various raw materials such as stone, bamboo, and charcoal.
Therefore, the number and size of the shipyard are increasing, and the shipyard owners are counting the copper coins and cramping.
The thriving trade led to the development of water transport, and many ships were needed, so there were more and more shipyards, there were enough shipbuilders, and there was no shortage of timber, and when the time came...
Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen hummed a poem: "Wang Junlou went down to Yizhou, and the king of Jinling was gloomy..."
"Chihiro's iron lock sank to the bottom of the river, and a piece of rain descended out of the stone..." )
