Chapter 218: Be a cornucopia
At the beginning, the Li family caravan and Zhu Da and they traveled together, and they were wary of each other on the road and quite friendly, and when they were drinking at night, the old man Li Xiu also persuaded Zhu Da to put aside his grudges and live a good life, which could be regarded as a heart-to-heart, but when it came to Huairen County, the Li family caravan immediately drew a line with Zhu Da and them, and it was very obvious.
“...... With such a large amount ......of money in hand, it will inevitably be coveted by county officials and powerful people, and it will definitely cause trouble, not to mention enjoying wealth and self-protection, it is very troublesome, and it is very likely that both people and money will be lost."
“...... I can't say how good the knowledge is, but I have traveled south and north for so many years, I have seen so many people, like Zhu Da has such skills at this age, this kind of knowledge, so ruthless, but it is the first time I have encountered it, it is said that I should be friendly, I am old, but it is very good for you......"
“...... How many heroes and heroes have suffered a big loss from the official errand, he can't pass this level, he can only say that it's a pity, if it passes, if he can stand firm in Huairen County, the old man would rather kowtow and beg for pleading, but also maintain this relationship......"
In the past nearly a month, Zhu Da is still alive and well, the county's tolerance is in awe of him, Li Xiu's nephew naturally knows what to do, but when he makes a big salute, he remembers the advice of his dead uncle, and he can't help but feel sad, but his behavior makes Zhu Da scratch his head.
Up to now, Li Xiu's nephew did not hide it, and made the old man's confession that day clear, which is also one of Li Xiu's arrangements, there is no need to hide Zhu Da and other characters, to tell the truth, the other party will naturally have a trade-off judgment, until this time, Zhu Da knew the name of this young man, Li Yuan, is the head of the Li family's generation, Li Xiu has long agreed with the two sisters-in-law, which is also the consensus of the Li family.
"Please take care of Zhu Gongzi." Li Cheng said very directly, putting his position very low, if it weren't for the wind and frost that made him look a little dark and rough, he looked like a scholar from a good family, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and a tall figure.
Zhu Da showed a smile on his face, and said without seeing the outside: "It's all your own family, what do you do when you see the outside, go to the city to rest well, you have worked hard all the way." “
Seeing Zhu Da's kind attitude, Li Cheng relaxed a lot, this kind of behavior of waiting for the dice to stop and bet is too meritorious, Li Lou is very worried that Zhu Da will treat him coldly, he put himself in his shoes, and when he changes to his own family, he will only sneer at this kind of conceding behavior, Zhu Da has such a reaction, which can only be said to be magnanimous.
After entering the city, the caravan was arranged in the inn, the inn was actually the business of Zhou Gui, without their lord's reminder, the inn was very enthusiastic about Zhu Da, this young master not only took advantage of the inn, but paid according to the price, bringing a lot of business.
When he knew that Zhu Da's father-in-law was a young newcomer, Li Lou's respect for Zhu Da was added by three points, no wonder this young master made a fortune and returned to the city without incident, it turned out that there was such a backer and then behind, Zhu Da did not hide anything from him, after the other party said that Li Xiu's death was related to the road, he also told about the death fight with the officials and officials after returning to the city, and the "deeds" of boarding the lobby to hold the magistrate hostage.
Although Li Dian is young, he is also a transparent person who has seen the world and heard the news, so he can naturally understand what kind of resourcefulness and courage Zhu Da needs to do these things, and then think of Zhu Da's age at this time, it will be even more remarkable.
"After Brother Li returns to his hometown, he will publicize Huairen County, and from now on, the caravans from Daizhou to the west of Datong will come to the county seat to rest and recuperate, and the Zheng family has it." Zhu Da got straight to the point and said what he thought.
There is no deep friendship between each other, and if you want to become friends or allies, you have to look at future contacts, rather than getting some politeness in communication, it is better to talk straightforwardly, which is also the first step of Li Xiu and Li Xuan's initiative to make friends.
Hearing Zhu Da's words, although Li Yuan felt awkward, he had been in the layman for a few years, and he was not hypocritical, so he immediately smiled and agreed, but he was also muttering in his heart, this young man is inevitably mercenary, is he going to repeat the trade transit business between Hebian New Village and Zheng Jiaji? If you get into the eyes of money like this, you won't be able to make friends in the future.
"I'm very short of food now, bring grain over, there is no fee in Huairen County, I am willing to buy more than the market price by 20%, and there will be silver, I will only tell you this news, and I will tell others in fifteen days." Judah made the second request.
As soon as this request was said, Li Yuan and the steward who accompanied him suddenly had an excited look on their faces, of course, the long-distance journey will not transport grain trade, but to and from various states and counties, you can buy and transport on the spot, and once you turn your hand, it will be 20% of the profit, which can be earned easily, and this is a benefit for the Li family, the Li family has half a month more time than others, which is enough to be one step ahead and earn a lot more.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, now that the autumn harvest has not been long over, the number and price are not worried, please Zhu Gongzi prepare the storage warehouse." Li Cheng responded eagerly, in just a moment, he has revised his opinion on Zhu Da, the grain trade is profitable, but the profit is relatively low, Zhu Da first worked this, indicating that he is not a person who is eager for quick success, although he arranges what the other party wants to do, he must have a big plan, and such a character is worthy of deep friendship.
"Brother Li next time you come, remember to bring a list, Daizhou is the hub of northern Shanxi, the goods from all over the world converge, what category Brother Li can sell, please make a list, there is a big business between you and me." Zhu Da added with a grin.
Merchants seek profits, in a state where the intersection is not deep, if they want the other party to help them do things, then they must give enough benefits, grain trade is one of them, of course, Zhu Da also needs grain now, and a lot of manpower is needed in his various plans, and this year's harvest in Huairen County is halved, and a sufficient amount must be stored before resuming production.
For Zhu Da, he is not so much interested in the Li family caravan as he is more interested in Daizhou, the northwest of Shanxi is one of the nine sides of Shanxi Town, Shanxi Town is facing the Hetao Mongolian tribes, the so-called Taokou refers to the Hetao Mongolian tribe, Shanxi Town is also an important defense area. In addition, along the Daizhou to the east, there is an official road straight into the north and directly through Baoding Mansion to connect Shuntianfu and Jingshi.
That is to say, Daizhou is a sense of the gathering of the four directions, in peacetime, Daizhou to the north can go to Datong Town and the grassland departments further north, to the west can go to Shanxi Town and the west of the Hetao Division, to the east is to go to the north Zhili and Jingshi, to the south is Taiyuan Prefecture and the southern counties of Shanxi, the same, the caravans and goods in these places will also pass through and transit in Daizhou, such a place of people, logistics and news flow is smooth and convenient, want to develop in the future business, and this side of the caravan has a friendship, Of course, it helps.
Zhu Da thinks long-term, but Li Wei may not think so, no matter how heroic Zhu Da is, for outsiders, after all, he is an outstanding person in this remote county, the pattern and vision must be limited, it is good to know what position Daizhou is, how can he still think of the specific direction and the meaning of connecting the Quartet, so thinking is not contemptuous, in this era, the education and information that people can get are very limited, and it is difficult for people who have not been out to know the information such as the geographical road and the direction outside, Zhu Da is abnormal......
After negotiating these, Zhu Da did not stay at the guest, now is not the time to receive the wind and wash the dust and drink the banquet, just take care of the inn to receive it well, before dinner, Zhu Da took Zhou Qingyun to the inn to pay tribute to Li Xiu's coffin parked in the courtyard.
For Zhu Da, there were too many partings of life and death this month, some close to people, and some of them met in Pingshui, which made him feel quite heavy, but after returning to the house, he didn't go back to sigh and sigh, and called Chang Kai over.
After the sun set, there was some darkness in the houses in the city, Qin Chuan and Zhu Da lit the lights early, and under the reflection of the lights, the hundreds of taels of silver on the tiles dazzled Chang Kai, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Let you be busy, there is no reason to let you advance money first, you can use the five hundred taels first, and the accounts will be cleared, and we will calculate it once a month." Zhu Da said generously, now he has arranged a lot of trivial things, and it takes a lot of people to run around, if he doesn't give enough silver, Chang Kai may be flattered with all his heart, and others may not be able to do it with their hearts.
"My master, it's not like this to have money, do you think there's a cornucopia at home?" Chang Kai didn't see it, and said very distressedly.
"We just want to build a cornucopia out, you can use this money as a medicine primer, and slowly you can make money, and if you spend it now, we will earn it back ten times and a hundred times in the future."
"I all know that Brother Zhu, you turn stones into gold, but you spend money like water, which makes my heart tremble, can you earn it back?"
"Let's see me do it slowly, tomorrow you arrange for the trustworthy people in your hands, in groups of two, in groups of three, to go to the border intersection next to our county and Linxian County and Wei to preach, just say that Zhengjiaji has been abandoned, if you want to settle down and supply, come to Huairen County, fair trade, no banditry violations, no official extortion, and also give this news to the officials in our county and the local people, I will attract investment and investment, and there will be benefits for everyone behind, who wants to only look at the point in front of you, don't blame me for being polite."
Zhu Da described these things, Chang Kai can probably figure it out, because there are examples of Hebian New Village and Zheng Jiaji in front, the logic is very clear, Chang Kai just smiled and praised: "The word investment promotion is good, Brother Zhu is really talented!" ”
