Chapter 115: Ma Du's hands are itchy
Shen Wansan (Note 1) lives on the edge of the city of Suzhou, his family has a house and a field, the white rice in the warehouse is piled up into a mountain, the gold and silver are endless, the beautiful concubines can be chosen at will, and the chic and happy are boundless. x update the fastest hateful Zhang Jiusi, hard to take Gusu occupation, donate money and pay food, and do the work......
Of course, Zhang Shicheng is not so hateful, compared with Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang at the same time, Zhang Shicheng can be regarded as a very good person, after occupying Pingjiang (Suzhou), the old Zhang Ge eliminated maladministration, reduced taxes, and developed education...... It can be hard work.
Zhang Shicheng is also deeply popular in Suzhou, even after his death, the people of Suzhou also miss him very much, and they have to secretly sacrifice during the Qingming Festival.
Zhang Shicheng had a very good relationship with the wealthy gentry in Suzhou, and he was able to hold on for nine months under the onslaught of Lao Zhu, in addition to his own good defense, but also the support of these rich households.
So much so that Lao Zhu hated these rich people deeply, so after occupying Suzhou, he drew a heavy tax on these rich households.
As the premier gentleman in Suzhou, Shen Wansan naturally has a close relationship with Zhang Shicheng. Shen Wansan needs Zhang Shicheng's protection, and Zhang Shicheng also needs Shen Wansan's support, in addition to money and food, he also helps Zhang Shicheng raise all kinds of military supplies, and pig iron for building weapons is one of them.
Shen Wansan's business is all over the world, and his sea trade business is very large. Pig iron from Hebei to Suzhou by sea is nothing to him.
has always been smooth business, but this time it was unlucky, the ship carrying pig iron encountered a big wind and waves and sank half, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the remaining pig iron was robbed by Fang Guozhen, who started as a pirate.
But Zhang Shicheng, who has always been big-hearted, suddenly became interested in this batch of pig iron this time, and asked three times a day, which made Shen Wansan feel a lot of pressure, and he didn't dare to be honest with Zhang Shicheng about the loss of pig iron.
Only let the shopkeepers and stewards in various places raise money everywhere, but after all, it is 200,000 catties of pig iron, where can it be made up casually, even if it is another trip from Hebei, and when the mines over there gather enough 200,000 catties, it will take two or three months to go back and forth.
Ying Tian's shopkeeper reported that Lao Zhu had discovered an iron ore mine in Taiping Mansion, and the chief official of the iron mine was Lao Zhu's brother-in-law, and they had already caught up with this person.
Shen Wansan, who was anxious, immediately went out in person, first went to the mine in Taiping and found Hu Weiyong. It's actually easier to reach out from below than from above.
Of course, this kind of thing is very dangerous to do, he just follows up with an idea, pretends to be a long-term follower to his housekeeper, and lets the steward do the things that show his face, and the steward will not report himself.
A tael of silver and a pound of pig iron! This price is simply unreasonable, although the price in Yingtian City is almost the same, but no one will really buy it, and he Shen Wansan will do it.
This Hu is obviously moved, but he is a big slippery head, neither can nor can't, but too much he can't be the master, let him go to Yingtian to find his Shangguan, the Zuo Shilang who is not a director.
He never expected that he would find out his identity to others at once. Shen Changfu's body moved, blocking in front of Shen Wansan, and said with a smile: "My lord, you remember wrong, the grass people are called Shen Changfu!" ”
Shen Wansan stretched out his hand to push Shen Changfu away, "Since Changfu has been called broken, there is no need to hide it." He stepped forward and arched his hand, "Pingjiang Shen Wansan has seen Master Ma!" ”
"You may be seated!" Ma Du gave up his chair and said to Shen Changfu: "You go outside and guard the door, don't let people in." ”
Seeing Shen Wan's three heads, Shen Changfu bowed down and retreated, guarding the door.
Shen Wansan smiled: "How did the adults see my identity?" "He is thirty-six years old, very well maintained, he looks no more than in his early thirties, not too handsome, with two mustaches on his lips as beautiful as his eyebrows, and his smile is very friendly and pleasant to look at.
Merchants also need a good skin, if you look crooked and cracked, people hate ghosts, who will talk to you about business.
Someone owes the old man more than 500 acres of land on credit, of course Ma Du has to check the other party's background, otherwise he will be killed one day, and he doesn't know how he died.
There is no need to find Lao Zhu to use his inspection, Lao Liu has found out a lot of situations. The one who gave him the land on credit was Shen Changfu outside.
He is not the shopkeeper of a certain store in Yingtian, but the manager of more than ten shops, he and the guys in those shops are all Suzhou dialect, and his surname is Shen, which makes it easy for Ma Du to think of the famous Shen Wansan, but he is not sure.
Today he came to the door, and asked for 200,000 catties of pig iron, and also a pound of silver for his mother, such a big sum, if Ma Du is no longer sure, this old man is the steward of the Shen family, it is better to twist his head off and kick it as a ball.
Ma Du replied with a smile: "This matter is very simple, you see if your hands are too white and too thin, I also have two long followers, and the thick palms can be used as files." Look at your thumb again, I dare to have a beautiful jade wrench half an hour ago, and a few fingers have traces of perennial rings, it should have just been taken off, a long follow, with such a ring does not have to work? ”
Shen Wansan smiled, "My lord is really careful, I'm afraid you have already investigated Changfu." What do you think of Shen's 200,000 catties of iron just now? ”
So breathless? It seems that Shen Wansan was forced to choke enough.
Madu shook his head, "This thing is impossible!" ”
"Why!"
"If you don't have these 200,000 catties of iron, King Wu won't do anything to you. And if I sell it to you, King Wu will cut off my head! "Ma Du's King Wu is two people, Zhang Shicheng, the king of Eastern Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Western Wu, and smart people like Shen Wansan can naturally understand it.
Boom! Ma Du slapped the table and scolded coldly: "Shen Wansan, you are so bold, you dare to go to the enemy to purchase military supplies, do you really think that you can be enlightened if you have money!" Ma Du kicked the box on the ground with his foot, and the box immediately fell to the ground, and the gold ingots rolled to the ground with a clang.
I rub, in addition to the upper layer, there is actually a layer below, is the same amount of gold ingots, the golden light is bright and blind, this amount is very satisfying to Ma Du, the hand is very itchy and swollen?
Ma Du slapped his hand hard, he couldn't accept it, Hu Weiyong didn't accept a big traitor, Lao Tzu, a good young man who traveled from the 21st century, would accept bribes from others.
Thinking of Hu Weiyong, Ma Du couldn't help but scold in his heart, this guy is really a big yin person!
Note 1 Shen Wansan was born in Huzhou, and later shifted his career focus to Suzhou. There are too many laws about his age, and there are also those who died before Zhang Shicheng invaded Suzhou. The author chose the youngest method to write, so don't take it too seriously
