Chapter 185: New Partner
Yu Haizhai unexpectedly rejected Yang Chong's offer, and on Wednesday came a lower price, one thousand and six craftsmen of Pers Limi. Yang Chong directly asked Miao Yun to hand the guy who reported the news two taels of silver, and asked the guy to tell Wednesday that Perth Limi and others would go to Gaochang with him, and he really didn't have the energy to manage the glass workshop, as long as the workshop moved away from the Shannan Courtyard, he didn't need a penny. Immediately, Yang Chong arranged for Du Yan and Shan Xiongxin to buy food; Ye Heilong and Wang Fu went to buy saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, liquor and other things.
Yang Chong and Sikong Xing, Fang Xuanling, and Meng Chuan hid in the office room behind the main store of Fengle Building to discuss things, although Yang Chong is the owner of Fengle Building, but he rarely comes to the main store to eat, and everything he treats is in the No. 1 store; Today at the head office, it was Yang Shen who was going to come over at noon, and when he informed Yang Chong last night, he indicated that he was in the head office. Yang Shen is Yang Xuangan's uncle, according to the seniority of Hongnong Yang's family, Yang Chong wants to call Yang Shen's uncle, Yang Shen is not an official in the court, and is the person in charge of Yang's business.
Fang Xuanling pondered for a while and said, "It should have nothing to do with Wednesday, and in the end it may be the Xiao family's idea." ”
Yang Chong nodded and said, "I think so too, it's just that the time is too tight, and we will only stay in Chang'an for one day after the Tongye Protector Conference, and we must leave at the same time as him." Forget it, one less than two or three thousand will not affect my plan. Meng Translation, what do you think? ”
Meng Fu is familiar with the geography of Longyou to Tianshan Mountain, sipping tea and said: "In fact, the situation is not as tense as we imagined, Gaochang is surrounded by mountains, in addition to the Flame Mountain, there is no shortage of wild vegetables and fruits on other mountains, and there are countless animals. Six months later, spring is in full bloom, and our real crisis is eleven months later; As long as the industrial chain can be established during this time, and the products can be exchanged for grain from the Central Plains and cattle and sheep from various countries in the Western Regions, it will be stable for a long time. ”
Fang Xuanling immediately understood what Meng Xuan meant, and said, "What does Mr. Meng mean to choose a reliable partner?" ”
Meng Fu put down the teacup and said: "Yuwen's family can't be trusted, Yuwenshu asked Fuquyun to summon the Golden Buddha is a bureau, not that he wants the head of the family to do it, but Yuwenshu feels that he needs the head of the family to have a handle in his hands; Yu Haizhai can't say it at all now, but Yang Shen is an opportunity, he is nominally the person in charge of the Yang family's business, but the royal family and the Yue Guo Mansion are not in Yang Shen's hands, and his confidence is much smaller. ”
Yang Chong thought for a while and asked a little hesitantly: "How is the Yuan family?" ”
The Yuan family is naturally good, the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Yuan family has the longest history in the Guanlongmen valve, and the real strength is almost not under the five surnames and seven hopes, Fang Xuanling was a little skeptical, and Meng Chuan asked in surprise: "Can Gaochang open an iron factory?" ”
Yang Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard that the doors of the Gaochang Palace are made of iron, and there should be an iron factory, but I know that there are iron mines in Gaochang." ”
Fang Xuanling's heart set off turbulent waves, Yang Chong and Meng Fu talked casually, it seemed that the two of them were not familiar with Gaochang once or twice, but they knew every bit of Gaochang very well. Fang Xuanling has been comparing maps at home for the past two nights, and found that Yang Chong's division of five counties is far better than the original twenty-two cities of Gaochang Kingdom, which should have been analyzed on the spot.
Yang Shen is a fat old man with cloudy eyes and a smile; A young man in his early twenties who came with Yang Shen looked very honest, spoke and smiled very gently, Yang Shen said that he was a descendant of the clan, and he was the same generation as Yang Chong, called Yang Buzhi. Seeing Yang Chong's delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, Yang Shen smiled even more happily, and said with wine: "Yang Chong, I have been very busy, otherwise I would have arranged for you and the clan to get together." ”
Yang Chong picked up a piece of bear's paw meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said while eating: "Uncle, it's rare to get together today, this bear's paw meat is added with honey, steamed, crispy and delicious, you can eat more." ”
Yang Shen has been in business all his life, so he can't see that Yang Chong is deliberate, and said with a smile: "I heard that Yuhaizhai wants to snatch the shares of your glass workshop." ”
"What the hell is there?" Yang Chong said without changing his face: "At that time, I was going to sell all of them to them, and it was Xiao Yu who asked me to keep thirty percent of the shares, but now I want to go to Gaochang to be an official, and they will take it back." ”
Yang Shen casually asked, "The clan is very concerned about you going to Gaochang, do you need any help?" ”
"Grain." Yang Chong said bluntly: "Gaochang is too far away from the Central Plains, and it is inconvenient for the imperial court to transfer it. If my uncle has a way, he can consider this aspect, no matter how much food there is, I can eat it. ”
Yang Shen's face turned solemn and said: "This is someone deliberately making things difficult for you, can it be sent to Yiwu Shanshan, but not Gaochang?" ”
Yang Chong said lightly: "Saiong is not blessed if he loses his horse, the imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court, and Gaochang has the benefits of Gaochang." Unwise, what are you doing now? ”
Yang Buzhi replied: "Help my uncle do business." ”
Yang Shen took over and said: "The meaning of the clan, I want to let Buzhi go to Gaochang, one is to help you, and the other is to follow you to learn the craft, he started to be a buddy at the age of fifteen, and has been doing it for six years, so he has a bit of a foundation." As for the food, don't worry, I will arrange it when I go back, and I will settle the bill when the grain arrives in Gaochang. ”
Yang Chong understands that Yang Shen wants to look at the market price and then decide whether to sell it to himself; So he nodded and said, "What Uncle said is, let Buzhi go with me in a few days." If you have a suitable business in Gaochang, I will ask him to give you a letter. ”
Fang Xuanling, Meng Fan, and Sikong Xing have been drinking and eating all the time, not that the three of them are clumsy, but that it is difficult to encounter today's eighty-eight banquets, and Yang Chong is talking to his own family, which is the turn to interject his subordinates. Yang Shen became old and refined, and did not ignore the three of them, and asked, "Yang Chong, these three?" ”
Yang Chongyi patted his head and said, "Look at my happiness, I forgot to introduce it." Uncle, this is Gaochang County Lingfang Xuanling, this is Sima Sikong Xing of the Tuntian Governor's Mansion, and this is Gaochang County Shencao Military Meng Xuan. ”
Fang Xuanling and the three of them gave Yang Shen a salute again, Yang Shen smiled and invited the three of them to sit down, a cold light flashed in his eyes; Yang Shen ate a few mouthfuls of food, put down his chopsticks and said to Yang Chong: "I met Dai Guan, the former official of my brother Yang Wenji, on the way here, and I was deeply touched. ”
Yang Shen's words were so simple, if Yang Chong didn't understand, he wouldn't have to go to Gaochang to be a county guard, and Dai Zhou was a celebrity in history, so Yang Chong naturally wouldn't refuse, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I missed it, I can't see each other." ”
"Not necessarily, Lantian County is just outside the city." Yang Buzhi interjected and said, "If the clan brother wants to see Dai Guan, I will go for a trip in the afternoon, and bring him to see you tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
Yang Chong agreed, and after Yang Shen and Yang Buzhi left, Sikong Xing asked Yang Chong: "What position are you going to arrange for Dai Guan?" ”
Yang Chong's eyes clearly said: "Tianshan County Order." There is chaos among the tribes, and there is a need for a courteous and courteous person. ”
