Chapter 66: Bondage

A coral the size of a wine jar was carefully wrapped with cotton wool and shredded paper, and then also carefully packed into a wooden box covered with scraps of paper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the packing was completed and sealed, Zhou Faming said to one person next to him: "Then there is a Laotian dart." ”

The man was not tall but very sturdy, and saluted Zhou Faming: "Zhou Langjun, please rest assured, the goods will be delivered safely to Ezhou." ”

The carriage of the dart team was full of goods and moved slowly, Zhou Faming and other soldiers watched these carriages leave, the goods on them were all the treasures they purchased in Panyu, and after they were transported back to Huangzhou, it was several times the profit.

"Okay, everyone go back to the camp to rest, don't worry so much, Huangzhou dart line, what's not to believe?"

Zhou Faming asked the soldiers to disperse, he went to his camp tent, and handed a letter to the troops who were about to follow the dart team to Ezhou.

"A few of you are smarter on the road, the dart team can't always be exhaustive, if you find something wrong, hurry up and remind Tian Darthead."

"Yes, San Lang Jun, please take care of your body more, when I set off from Ezhou, the master mother told me to take care of the miasma on the mountain surface."

"Yes, you guys should go and join the dart team."

The subordinates took their bags and said goodbye, Zhou Faming personally sent them out of the barracks, watching the soldiers happily discussing "consignment" and "purchase" along the way, and a sense of absurdity arose.

He felt that he was not here to fight, but to do business.

The gentleman is poor, ashamed of his words, Zhou Faming is very familiar with this passage, he feels that if an army is engaged in business and trading, I am afraid that sooner or later it will rot, but Yu Wenwen's fallacies and heresies have opened Zhou Faming's eyes.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, Yuwenwen believes that the pursuit of profit is human nature, just as "the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan", the plug is not blocked.

The "profit" of profit-seeking is not only the profit of doing business, but also fame and fortune, good land and beautiful family, everyone joins the army to kill the enemy, in order to rely on military merits to seal the wife and son, this kind of profit-seeking is very normal.

Of course, it is taboo for the army to do business, but if it is used as a substitute for the benefits of burning, killing and looting, so that everyone can taste some sweetness and ensure military discipline, why not?

With such a fallacious reasoning and heresy, Zhou Faming could not say that Yuwenwen Wenwen, and Yuwenwen took special measures in order to prevent business from corrupting soldiers and from being sued by others.

Theoretically, Zhou Faming has nothing to do with the coral just now, because as an official general, although he is not doing business with the enemy, it is always bad to make bold purchases during the war, so like other soldiers, it is "entrusted for sale".

The march of Lingnan Road from Jiangzhou Huangkou to Jiaozhou Longbian, a journey of thousands of miles, it is impossible to carry a lot of money with you, even if it is with rewards or spoils, you can't buy overseas treasures in Panyu, so you rely on the villagers.

Wherever the officers and soldiers fought, the villagers followed, of course, the villagers were all businessmen, and they solved many urgent needs for the soldiers who were fighting abroad.

All the soldiers who save money in the Xingchang cabinet shop in Xiyang City, Huangzhou, will register and make a register when they go out, and then they can use this as a guarantee to borrow money from the Huangzhou merchants who accompanied the army in Panyu, and use this as the capital to buy all kinds of rare treasures.

There will be a dart team to help consign the goods back to Huangzhou, of course, this will be included in the charges.

If the goods shipped back to Huangzhou are for their own use, then they will be taken away by their wives or parents, if they need to be sold and suffer from no way, they can be entrusted with "consignment sales", and the guaranteed price can be negotiated in Panyu.

Even how to do business with the locals was helped by Huangzhou merchants, of course, this needs to be billed, and the "amount" of the loan is determined according to each person's monthly military salary.

The businessmen who can undertake this kind of business are the specific ones, and not everyone is qualified to do it, and it is said that these people have the big proprietors of Huangzhou as guarantees, and their reputation is very reliable.

The first batch of soldiers who handled the relevant "business" have made a fortune, for example, the dried anchovy purchased in Panyu at a price of less than 1,000 wen can be sold for more than 4,000 wen in Huangzhou, deducting various expenses such as freight, even if the cost of "entrusted sales" is added, there can be a good profit.

This profit can be "withdrawn" by your family in Xiyang, or it can be "returned" to yourself in Panyu as the capital to purchase again.

Such a caring business, so that the soldiers are very excited, although part of the profits are borrowed or "consignment" businessmen to earn away, but everyone can understand, after all, the other party promised to "guarantee", so it is normal to share some profits.

Of course, as one of the "minority shareholders" of the Zhou family, Zhou Faming, the third langjun of the company, definitely does not need to exchange his military salary for the "loan line".

He really admired Yu Wenwen's ingenuity, because this was a concession on the premise of sacrificing part of the profits of the Huangzhou business group, and it also had the intention of "collecting savings" for Rixingchang in disguise.

And this practice has another layer of intention, that is, to tie the soldiers firmly to the ship of Huangzhou, so that no one will easily betray this increasingly large group.

With the soldiers of Huangzhou as the backbone of the army, even if a certain general is determined to be unfavorable to the king of Xiyang, he still has to worry about whether the soldiers will follow him, and the merchants who provide loans with the army, as well as various dart shops, can obtain considerable profits from this model.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the king of Xiyang acts like this, no wonder the popularity of Huangzhou is getting stronger and stronger, thinking of this, Zhou Faming can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

A group of people on the street rode horses and galloped, one of them was Yu Wenwen in civilian clothes, Zhou Faming didn't have time to say hello, only to see that the other party had already whistling by, in a trance, Zhou Faming seemed to see a familiar face in the team.

'How is it possible, how can he be in Panyu? Could it be that I was mistaken? ‘

Zhou Faming thought so, looked around, and didn't find the figure of the marching marshal Stryda or his subordinates, so he was relieved and decided to pretend not to see it.

。。。。。。

In the room, the dark-skinned Zhang Yu, with a few companions who were also tanned, sat in front of Yu Wenwen very excitedly, they never thought that they would meet Lord Lang in Panyu.

"Don't get excited, have a cup of tea and speak slowly... Zhang Yu, you can just say it, if there are mistakes or omissions, others will add them. ”

"Lord Lang... Ah, this tea is so bitter! ”

"This is the herbal tea of Lingbiao, which specializes in dispelling fire and dampness, bitter is bitter, but you will get used to it after drinking too much..."

Yuwen Wen said with a smile, and then changed his words: "What's the matter with you?" Why didn't you come all the way here in Boduo, the country? ”

"Lord Lang, this matter is a long story..."
