Chapter 44: Barter

"Zhao Jiaotou, if I can see Meng Jiaerlang kill the main island and burn the Black Tiger flagship before I die, I will be a cow and a horse to serve Zhao Jiaotou in the next life!" After finishing speaking, Mencius Yan got up and left his position, bowed deeply to Zhao Tianyou, and when he raised his head, he was already in a line of old tears.

"Don't worry, let's move to Dongshan Island, in addition to temporarily avoiding the edge and recuperating, it is also to prepare for taking the main island, isn't it close to moving over, and then you will also watch us kill the main island."

Zhao Tianyou was bent on protecting the safety of this fishing village, and even used all the tricks of coaxing and deception, and finally Mencius Yan finally nodded.

After Mencius Yan's attitude changed, the resistance to moving immigrants from the village was greatly reduced, and as the replacement of personnel was almost over, Zhao Tianyou sent someone to Quanzhou to contact Jiang Gongzi, and sold the Mengjia Yuzhai Wharf to the Jiang family for 50,000 taels of silver.

Jiang Gongzi was worried about losing contact with the line of Wurida because of the loss of Princess Miyue, but he was worried about it for two days. Unexpectedly, before the third day arrived, Princess Miyue, who was alone, returned to her residence, and she kept silent and ignored anyone, nor did she explain what she had been doing in the days since she was missing.

Wu Rida and Jiang Gongzi were both relaxed, and Wei Yue arranged for them to go north on a cargo ship, and sent the two people back to the north as soon as possible. What happened was not of interest to Jiang Gongzi, as long as he didn't die in Quanzhou, he burned high incense.

Within a few days, another middleman came to deliver the news, passing the news that the Mengjia Yuzhai Wharf wanted to be sold, which made Jiang Gongzi feel that he was unlucky, no matter how big and difficult things were, there was a chance to turn around, which aroused his vigilance.

"Mr. Wei, 50,000 taels of silver is neither too much nor too little, for us who are in a hurry to find a dock to settle in, it is not much money at all, we can completely agree and send someone over to take over immediately. But lately, I feel that something is wrong, it was all a mess, and I couldn't figure out the troubles, why did suddenly the princess come back by herself.

The Mengjia fishing village, which is even more difficult to do here, suddenly wants to transfer the wharf. Could it be that I have recently devoted myself to worshipping the Buddha, and I have moved the heavens with incense every day, and I have given me good luck? Jiang Gongzi held a Hetian jade gourd handle in his hand, groping and playing back and forth, chatting with Mr. Wei without raising his eyelids.

Wei Yue nodded and smiled, in fact, he didn't understand, he couldn't understand that a group of fishermen who had been fishing for generations for a living suddenly came down like a god, and it was not enough to destroy the pirates, and they chased them to the pirates' house and raided their nests.

If you want to say that since you have a grudge with the pirates of Dongshan Island, it is reasonable to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but these fishermen changed their careers and moved to Dongshan Island to farm, this routine is not guessed by the gods.

"Childe, the price of 50,000 taels of silver is also fair, a shipload full of goods can save tens of thousands of taels of silver. But I couldn't guess what they were going to do, and if they hastily agreed, wouldn't we be falling behind again. I didn't expect a group of fishing buns to take our lead again and again, and if this matter is going to be spread, it will inevitably lose the face of the son! ”

"Yes, this matter is very strange, but we don't have enough time, didn't we have an agreement before Urida got on the ship, we have our own dock to transfer the spice ship to the north, to ensure that the road is smooth, after Chongming Island, we will also arrange for the Yuan Army Navy to secretly send a boat to escort to Tanggu.

Each boat will earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, Pu Daren will also be warm, the recent war in the north has been tight, the military salary and silver have doubled, it is said that every time you sign a document, Pu Daren has to knock over a few inkstones, break a few purple sand teapots to dissipate gas! ”

Jiang Gongzi said things with a smile on his face, and there are really few things that can make Pu Shougeng uncomfortable and angry, only about silver, and that point will catch fire. This is not a big deal, Quanzhou Port has been booming for so many years, and almost two-thirds of the overseas trade has been transferred from Guangzhou Port to Quanzhou, and the credit can be imagined.

"It's better to do this, I'll come forward first to deal with this matter, and immediately send someone to Mengjia Fishing Village to take over, but then pay for a few days, and say that I can't give money at the moment without cash, what do you think?" Wei October's trick is also fine, but when he was doing business at that time, he attached great importance to credibility, especially when it came to the identity of Jiang Gongzi. Therefore, he Wei October came forward to agree to this matter, and when the middleman asked for silver taels in the future, Jiang Gongzi could also shirk the matter and did not know about it.

"No, we can't afford to delay our calculations. Then so be it, we don't have cash but we can barter, the real price is not discounted, and the goods in our trading house are used to discount the 50,000 taels of silver. Jiang Gongzi was in a hurry, so he rebuilt the deep-water wharf one step earlier, and the surplus of tens of thousands of taels could only be obtained for that boat. Although 50,000 taels of silver promised you, but there is no cash for you, you will take the goods operated by our family to offset, at least there is more than 30% of the profit here, which is equivalent to 50,000 taels of silver, a 7% discount.

After Zhao Tianyou received the reply, he guessed the meaning after a little thought, and immediately convened a meeting of the main personnel to discuss how to complete the transaction.

"They don't have any cash? That's nonsense, in addition to Pu Shougeng and the treasury of the state capital in Quanzhou City, the richest person is the Jiang family, obviously looking for us awkwardly, we can't agree to their request. ”

"It's okay to barter, and we have a lot of things to buy over there, but with such a large amount of goods, it's really unreasonable to not give a discount at all. We have almost moved during this time, and soon every brick and tile of this ancestral hall will be dismantled and transported away, and we will not be able to wait for a few days to be moved, and we will be very passive at that time. ”

"Just sell it to someone else, this Jiang family is not a good thing in the first place, I'd rather have less money than give the ...... surnamed Jiang"

"That's it, the pirates are all attracted by the surname Jiang, and they are enemies with us, how can the dock be sold to his family?"

Zhao Tianyou was very helpless, and after organizing a few meetings, he found that this kind of behavior of adopting collective opinions was very difficult and unreliable. Here, people's ideology, culture, and understanding of the same thing are simply 108,000 miles apart, and it is difficult to unify them in one direction.

And the strategy to deal with it can only be a word, or that Zhao Tianyou lacks a few helpers around him who have a view of the overall situation and can see a little farther. It's no wonder that the people in the Mengjia fishing village have a low level, they are originally fishermen, their reading and literacy have been limited since they were children, and they have rarely seen the world when they go out, how can they make him understand things he can't understand.

"Okay, this matter has been decided, we have agreed to the conditions of barter, and now we are considering what materials we want for barter. Zhou Yuan, Liu Jinli, and Lao Fengtou, what materials do you all need, pick some of the most important ones, and pull out a list of quantities for me. ”

Zhao Tianyou got up and patted the table gently, and everything was decided.
