Chapter 38: Another Way to Fortune

Cui Jiuming rented almost all the ox carts that could be used in the entire Wenshui County, and also hired hundreds of people. A large group of people tossed around in Laojunguan for three days, and got all the salt stored in Laojunguan into their own names. Looking at Cui Jiuming's posture, many salt merchants had a bad premonition and asked each other, but they didn't get any news.

A few days later, a notice was posted outside the gate of Laojunguan, and those large and small salt merchants who had not left hurriedly gathered over. The matter of Su Ren's method of making salt to the imperial court has spread, and everyone is waiting for Lao Junguan to send salt, hoping to make some money in this last business. Waited and waited, but waited for a notice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wenling Salt Company due to business needs, specially transferred the bag of salt produced by Wenling Salt Company to Zitong Xiangfu General Distribution, since the date of this notice, Wenling Salt Company is no longer distributing a grain of official salt, hereby notify, I hope you will tell each other......"

As soon as the notice came out, the audience was in an uproar. The words on the notice are clear and eye-catching, easy to understand, and there is the seal of Wenling Salt Company in the lower left corner, everything is exactly the same as the official document of the government.

"How so? Wouldn't we be stripped of another layer in this way? ”

"Who are the people of the Xiangfu? What is the relationship between this person and Lao Junguan? ”

"It seems that something really happened to Lao Junguan, otherwise he wouldn't have given such a good business to that Xiangfu!"

…………

All kinds of discussions are flying all over the sky, but few people know the inside story.

It's still the wine and butcher shop, or the Eight Immortals table a few days ago. Cui Jiuming sat comfortably in the place where he had sat that day. Zhao Ping on the other side smiled with a smile on his face: "Congratulations Brother Cui, this time I will always distribute cloth bags of salt, and I will have to rely on it more in the future." ”

Zheng Guiqiu hurriedly agreed: "Yes, it is still Brother Cui who returns the means, Su Xianzuo of Lao Junguan is also a well-known person, and the union of the two families will inevitably have a bright future." ”

"Hahaha......" Cui Jiuming held the wine glass in one hand, showing contempt on his face. Everyone is a salt merchant, and there are many battles between each other for land and business. But this time, Cui Jiuming can confidently tell others that it was he, Cui Jiuming, who won, and won completely.

"It's easy to say, we are all salt merchants in Sichuan, and we must take care of each other, and I will definitely give you a reasonable price."

Zhao Ping hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Then thank you Brother Cui, I am the Puyu that my brother brought back from Lingnan, I know that Brother Cui is a person who loves jade, so I will give it to Brother Cui today, and I will commemorate the two of you and I becoming close friends." ”

Zheng Guiqiu was not to be outdone: "Brother Zhao has Puyu, and I also got a piece from the Western Regions, although it is not better than Brother Zhao, even if I admire Brother Cui, I also gave it to Brother Cui." ”

Cui Jiuming held a piece of jade in one hand and looked at the faces of the two. suddenly realized what Su Ren said when he and Su Ren were drinking last night.

"Doing business is the result of mutual compromise for the sake of interests, today the two of us drink together for the sake of interests, tomorrow we may also vendetta against each other for the sake of interests, don't get excited, this is just a metaphor, as long as there are interests, then there is business, to be honest, the interests of both of us are dominated by me, so you will drink with me in the middle of the night, and tomorrow you will dominate in the face of other salt merchants, and they will also accompany you to drink and chat in the middle of the night."

After stopping this, Cui Jiuming didn't sleep well that night, and decided that he must tell his father about it when he went back.

In the face of Zhao Ping and Zheng Guiqiu's overtures, Cui Jiuming did not pretentiously, since he is talking now, he doesn't have to be as cautious as in the past, and waved his hand to signal the two to sit down: "Okay, since we are friends, I won't say secret words, from today onwards, the two of you will only add one percent of the benefits to the goods from me." ”

"Thank you, Brother Cui!" Zhao Ping and Zheng Guiqiu got up again and bowed to Cui Jiuming.

Cui Jiuming was drinking and chatting outside. Su Ren was interrogated by several people in the room. Leng Jun, in particular, was not in favor of selling the bag of salt from the beginning.

"What do you think? Good end business, do you know how much we lose every month when this change of hands? Ten thousand dollars! A whole ten thousand dollars! Leng Jun said heartbrokenly: "Also, what do you think, why do you want to pay the bill with goods, raw silk, pottery, grass and other things are worthless, and they are not as good as food." ”

Huo Laosi hurriedly persuaded: "Leng Dao is long to dissipate his anger, Brother Ren must have his own ideas, it's okay for us to listen to it, it's really not okay to take back the general distribution, don't be so angry." ”

"Not angry? Lao Junguan is not a few of us now, in front of the house and behind the house, there are hundreds of brine springs, everyone is counting on the cloth bag salt to eat and dress, just his words, we will work in vain, if we don't give an explanation today, this matter is not over! ”

Hawking was about to confront Leng Jun as soon as he glared, Su Ren hurriedly signaled him to shut up, got up and sat Leng Jun on the chair: "Are you finished?" Listen to me when I'm done. ”

"Yes, our sack of salt is indeed doing well, and tens of thousands of dollars are coming in every month, but you have also seen that this risk is not a little bit of a star, just take Brother Hu as an example, I almost died in the hands of Wu Bald because of this matter, so I came up with this general distribution."

When Hu Ji saw that when he talked about himself, his blood surged, and his face turned red. Su Ren hurriedly smiled at him, and continued: "This general distribution has an advantage, that is, we are completely taken out, we hide behind our backs, and all the eyes of everyone are drawn to Cui Jiuming and them, only in this way can we live quietly." ”

Su Ren's words were very heavy, and he said loudly: "Now there is no power and no power in this world, we can only be slaughtered by others, we are all a group of poor people and Liu Wen, and common things, and Hou Jian can't afford to fight, since they can't afford to fight, then hide, only let them feel that we are not dangerous to them, can they let us go, which is why they are willing to seek the near and far, not Chengdu, choose Zitong." ”

There was a dead silence in the room, and he sat there silently. Everything about this old gentleman's view was brought by Su Ren, to be honest, it has little to do with his coldness, even if Su Ren gives them all away, he has no right to speak coldly. However, Su Ren faced his criticism today, and said so many words, every word made him feel that his vision was too narrow.

Leng Jun took a deep breath, got up, looked at Su Ren and suddenly smiled: "You are right, I was wrong." ”

Everyone was shocked. Leng Jun, this guy is usually arrogant, and in the eyes of everyone, he has never seen him bow his head to anyone, even in the face of Su Ren, he is arrogant. Today, admitting his mistake to Su Ren in front of everyone is the first time in the world. Even Leng Yue opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"It's good to know it's wrong, pour me a glass of water to moisten my throat, I'm thirsty."

"Get out, let me serve you without a door!" Leng Jun raised his foot and kicked, Su Ren hurriedly flashed, and laughter broke out again in the room.

Hawking poured a glass of water for Su Ren, and Su Ren took two big sips: "This time to hide us, I actually have a plan, and this plan is a plan to make a lot of money." ”

Su Ren's eyebrows fluttered, and he told him about being a private businessman and selling goods to Nanban, of course, Wu Bald and Gou Tianming did not mention it, so as not to irritate others. After listening to Su Ren's introduction, everyone felt like they were riding a roller coaster, although they didn't know what a roller coaster was. From the inexplicable at the beginning, to the ease later, and now it has climbed to the peak of surprise.

Huo Laosi said: "Brother Ren, you have to think about this matter, if the matter is revealed, it will be a murderous act, Nanban has repeatedly violated my frontier, almost every village in Wenshui County has been bullied by Nanban, even if the government does not pursue it, it will be drowned by the spittle of the people." ”

Hu Ji also said: "Yes, it is enough for our Lao Junguan to have a bag of salt, there is no need to take risks to be a private businessman, not to mention that there are many mountain bandits on the road, and if you accidentally lose all your money, you have to take your life." ”

"That's right! The reputation of Lao Junguan is important, so don't do it! Leng Jun spoke again.

Su Ren smiled: "Don't talk about Lao Junguan's reputation in front of me, your master has no reputation for curing people to death and running away, and Lao Junguan's reputation has nothing to do with me." ”

"You!" Leng Jun was about to draw his sword when Su Ren angrily stretched out his hand, but Hawking hurriedly blocked in front of Su Ren: "If you want to kill my eldest brother, kill me first!" ”

Huo Laosi couldn't see that Leng Jun was making trouble with Su Renna, and slapped Hawking on the back of the head: "The adults talk, and the children go." ”

"I'm not going, what my eldest brother asked me to do is very important, I can't go!" Hawking completely ignored Huo Laosi's yelling, and just didn't leave.

Huo Qian's tears fell when he heard this, the smuggler was a life-and-death business, and it seemed that Su Ren had already arranged it when he heard Hawking's words. Since his family followed Su Ren, it was equivalent to selling his life to others, and life and death were naturally Su Ren's final say. Even if he asked his son Hawking to explore the way, Huo Laosi and Huo Qian couldn't say anything. Hearing Hawking's words, Huo Qian could only wipe away his tears.

Su Ren naturally understood everyone's thoughts, and pushed Hawking away: "Can you wait until I finish speaking?" Although we are doing private business, we don't have to do it ourselves, we just sort out the goods that Cui Jiuming got properly, naturally someone will go, and we just wait to collect the money. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The meaning of the eldest brother is that someone will go for us, the person has been chosen, and they have agreed." Hawking couldn't wait to answer.

Huo Laosi instantly came to his senses: "Is there really such a good thing?" ”

Su Ren nodded.

"That's great! We don't take risks, we still have money to make, and the business of bag salt is still non-stop, good thing, good thing. ”

"I think it's a good thing now, you didn't say that just now." Hawking glared at Huo Laosi, not putting his father in his eyes at all.

Leng Jun pulled Su Ren aside, and said in a low voice: "Tell me, are those who are willing to go to Nanban the people of Shuangzui Mountain?" ”

"Oh? Do you know this? ”

Leng Jun sneered: "I knew that you went to Shuangzui Mountain in the past two days, this private business is very big, if something happens, it will be a big deal to lose your head, you still have to be careful, Liu Wen has a lot of power in Wenshui County, and you have to guard against it." ”

Seeing the solemnity of Leng Jun's words, Su Ren also became serious: "If we want to fight Liu Wen, we will definitely not be able to, we have to find a backer, a big backer." ”
