Chapter 261: The Servants' Private Goods
Li He's state was a little angry, Zhu Da couldn't help laughing, beat the other party's chest with his fist and said: "I know that this silver is a lot of money, and I also know that we have made a lot of money, but suddenly I feel a little fake, I take out this money casually, but they feel that a windfall has fallen from heaven." ”
Of course, Zhu Da would not tell Li He that the entry and exit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver made him have no sense of reality, and these entanglements in his mind could not be explained to others in detail, but Li He had already accepted the words he had just said, and only muttered there: "How could you not know that when you were in Baibao Village, you were more shrewd than anyone else. ”
Li He didn't delay here for too long, he thought Zhu Da was joking with him, said hello and went back to busy, seeing that the sky was cloudy again, and estimated that it would snow again tonight, Li and Chang Shen were urging everyone to get busy, send these goods to the warehouse and pile them up, and they had to spread a layer of hay on the ground, which was an experience learned during the day.
For the refugees and their families, the daytime parade made them feel the awe of others, the treatment made them feel their dignity, and they felt that the hard work of these days was not in vain.
And those who know the details of the business, such as the Chang brothers and Li He, such as Fu Yu and Meng Tian, they are all shocked and excited, although Zhu Da did not make anything in today's transaction, but the net expenditure was more than five hundred taels of silver, but they all know that Zhu Da has made a lot of money, it can be said that he can earn nearly three thousand taels of silver without any capital, which is simply a little stone into gold, and then think about the excitement and ecstasy of the buyer and seller, it feels even more incredible.
The Chang family brothers were quite normal surprised, Chang Kai whispered to his brother: "There will be nothing wrong with following this master, you look at this ability to make a fortune, we just can't learn anything, as long as you work hard, this master doesn't look like he will treat people badly,"
“...... I don't understand this business, I have to think about it, how old is he, it's rare for his mother to bring out so many skills in her belly? Fu Yu frowned and pondered, and couldn't help but whisper a few words to Meng Tian beside him.
Over there, Li Heman glanced at the few people who were whispering disdainfully, and muttered: "You haven't seen the business in Baibao Village, that's a ...... out of nothing."
............
After a busy day and such a result, dinner must be celebrated, and the Li family caravan also took advantage of the departure to pull the relationship, they deliberately spent silver money to buy sheep in the grange, cooked it after killing, and took out the good wine they carried, and specially invited Zhu Da and his people, this twist and turn in a circle is mainly to show their own hospitality and novelty.
Zhu Da naturally wouldn't sweep away such an interest, everyone had to rest for a busy day, he first arranged for the family and refugees to add food, and then brought the Chang brothers and Li He over to the banquet.
Only Li Cheng and the old steward Li Fu came from the Li family caravan, after a few days they have already put their positions right, Zhu Da has no shelf, smiled and let everyone sit down, before the banquet Zhu Da said to Chang Kai: "Brother Chang, you will go back to the city early tomorrow morning, and tell the people in the county who have money to buy New Year's goods, I have good New Year's goods here, and there are fruits and spices in the south, and if you want to buy them, you can buy them here." ”
"There is a shortage of these livelihoods in the city, this damn Tartar toss, those who trade New Year's goods on weekdays don't dare to come, the county magistrate and the Zhou family and the Liu family they all ask people to go to Datong City to pick up ......" Chang Kai subconsciously muttered a few words, but was stunned halfway through speaking, glanced at Li Gong and Li Fu, and stared at Zhu Da and exclaimed: "Brother Zhu, these goods will not be sent by the Li family, you are really good at doing business, you are the God of Wealth!" ”
Li Yuan and the old housekeeper next to him also came back to their senses, glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhu Da with admiration on their faces, then Li Yuan got up and saluted after pouring his own wine bowl, and said with admiration: "There is nothing more than this, there is a large amount of silver born between this coming and going, it is really admirable that I am so impressed, but it is ridiculous that Li still thinks that he can do business, it is really too far worse than Brother Zhu, I am really ashamed, I am really admired." ”
"Don't talk about our owner, I have been doing business for decades, and I haven't seen someone like Master Zhu, when I ran to Fenzhou in the past, I heard that the trader has the God of Wealth, and they can do whatever they do, I thought it was ****, but I didn't expect to see the God of Wealth today."
"It's not so mysterious, figure out the supply and demand, know as much news as possible, and then have enough capital, dare to make up your mind, anyone can make such a business, not to mention that it hasn't been earned yet, in case there is a risk, wouldn't it be a total loss." Juda replied with a smile, he had nothing to hide.
He said casually, but several people at the table listened very carefully, and they had to memorize every word of Zhu Da in their hearts.
Li Wei at the banquet was particularly excited, no matter how you look at this business, it will make money, and it will make a lot of money, he just took over the caravan and has such a brilliant result, it is very beneficial to the Li family and himself, how can he not be happy, he toasted and drank himself refreshingly, and it didn't take long to talk more: "Please rest assured, Brother Zhu, I don't know how many people will come over when this news spreads, and I am afraid that there will not be so many goods to sell in Huairen County at that time." ”
"After the news spreads, I don't know how many people will come and sell the goods." Zhu Da replied with a smile.
When the night was over, Zhu Da slept very well this night, but when he got up the next day, the small snowflakes falling in the sky made him feel a lot worse, looking at the thickness of the snow should not have been down for long, Zhu Da stomped a few feet, and subconsciously looked at the northern sky, there was still an empty sky and mountains, and there was no pillar of smoke.
When they got up in the morning, there were two groups of people who quit, and the Li family caravan was about to set off, and when they left, they asked for a few pieces of cotton cloth, woodware, medicinal materials and leather goods for each, and they didn't need to explain that they were taken as samples, Chang Kai just came to say hello when he left, but was stopped by Zhu Da, and repeatedly told him to go to the city to urge the progress of repairing the house and storing materials.
Chang Kai left the grange for more than an hour, the convoy in the city arrived, and the team was still led by Jin Guannian and Lin Bantou, who could see that the two of them did not sleep well last night, but they were all in high spirits, what people didn't expect was that the scale of the convoy was even larger than yesterday, which made Zhu Da quite stunned, thinking that there were still so many stolen goods in the city?
However, Zhu Da soon noticed another thing, there were not so many young and poor people in the escort this time, and there were some people who were full of oil, white and fat, these people were not strangers, they were all housekeepers and stewards of rich and noble people in the city, or there were decent leaders in the yamen, and the expressions on their faces were all relaxed and excited.
"Master Zhu, I was busy all day yesterday, and I also know that you have to send a lot of things every day in this Zhuangzi, today we will do it for you, you see what is missing, tomorrow we will double up from the county treasury, the work of the resettlement of the victims should also contribute money and efforts, these two cars are everyone's family funds, take them out in exchange for some silver money and flowers, hard work Master Zhu to check it." Jin Guannian said with a grin.
It turned out that only two cars were stolen goods, and it was estimated that they were private goods in the hands of the three classes and six rooms in the city, which was normal, as for those cars of materials, it was nothing more than generosity to others, they used the wealth of the yamen to please themselves, although Zhu Da was very disdainful of Jin Guan Nian's person, but the other party was diligent and flattering, and his own family made money in business, and he couldn't talk about how noble, Zhu Da also responded with a smile, but he was flattered by Jin Guan Nian.
The two wagons were worth more than the goods they had brought yesterday, one of them was full of silk and satin, about two hundred horses, and the other was iron and bronze, but pots and pans, plates, and wine jugs.
Most of the utensils in yesterday were made of wood, and although these were sold to the grassland, there were several times and ten times the profit, but the total price was too low, and the buyers were ordinary herdsmen, although the profits had increased a lot, but the price was there. If the people along the way eat horses and chew, in fact, they can't make much, but these copper and iron utensils are different, these buyers are nobles and leaders on the grassland, they can afford the price, and the profits of these are several times more than ten times, but the profits and profits are different, copper and iron tools can earn dozens of times or even hundreds of times that of wood, and the foot money consumed is about the same.
Needless to say, there is no need to say that the types and specifications of this batch of silk are very mixed, with Zhu Da's eyesight, you can distinguish that there are from Luzhou, Shanxi, some from Henan, and some from Jiangnan.
Of course, Zhu Da, Li Yuan, and Huairen's servants did not expect to sell to the grassland for huge profits, the officials were counting on the exchange for cash, Zhu Da was counting on a profit of 30% to 60%, and the Li family's caravan earned slightly less than Zhu Da's earnings, but they were all happy, and all of them had silver in their accounts.
After Zhu Da arranged for Li He to count the goods, he directly quoted a price, a total of seven hundred and ninety taels, paid in cash, the total price of this batch of goods was about one thousand three hundred taels, because it was the officials' own private goods, so it was more than fifty percent of the price, and after the price of seven hundred and ninety taels was reported, Jin Guan Nian, Lin Bantou and the people in the yamen who came over together were all smiling.
"Master Zhu's Zhuangzi consumes a lot every day, and there are a lot of inconveniences in buying over there, so it is better to hand it over to the county to operate, the amount must be sufficient, if it can be paid with cash, the price is easy to say." A fat-headed, big-eared official patted his chest and said.
For Huairen's servants, they are not short of materials, what they lack is cash, for these stolen goods, they also exist in their hands and cannot be consumed, their own houses take silk to make clothes and quilts, and take bronze and iron tools to do some trading, what should be consumed has long been consumed, these are stored in ashes when they are not used up, so they are exchanged for silver.
