The first snow came very quickly, and suddenly it fell from the sky, and many people did not sit well and prepare, and on the way from Yanmen to Mayi, they often found carriages stuck in mud pits, all of which were used by merchants to pull goods. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When the first snow fell, Su Ren ordered Yanmen Pass to be closed, and no one knew when it would be opened again. The businessmen who have not yet entered the customs hurry up to deal with their goods and rush home for the New Year. After a year of busy work, I have earned a lot of money, and it is time to show off to my family.

The Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce walked back with the money one by one, but the people of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce were just the opposite. The grain, grass and materials obtained from all over the country can only be delivered normally when they are transported to Yanmen, and these are all military supplies, and it will be fatal if the deadline is missed. Meng Fangtian's mouth was foaming, he had never spent so much money since he started doing business, and he wanted to transport goods in Yanmen again and again, although he couldn't see the silver money that was transferred from Dahan Qianzhuang, just looking at the numbers made Meng Fangtian take a breath of cool air.

Sitting in the special living room of the Dahan Money Village in Yanmen Pass, Meng Fangtian gently closed the account book, looked up and asked the money bank shopkeeper standing in front of him: "How much surplus is there in the account of our Chang'an Chamber of Commerce?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It should still be three million two thousand gold, after the delivery of this goods, there is a surplus of three million two thousand eight thousand gold, this is only what we can get now, as for the accurate number needs to be summarized, or you send someone to Chang'an Dahan Qian Zhuang General Counter to ask, according to the following estimates that there are at least three million gold." ”

Meng Fangtian let out a sigh of relief: "Three million gold, enough, as long as you can survive this winter, everything will be fine, and when you still have 100,000 gold, please let the shopkeeper know, so as not to use up and then temporarily raise trouble." ”

"Definitely, please rest assured."

Coming out of Dahan Qianzhuang, Meng Fangtian hurried to the grain depot, and today he transported another 100,000 stone grain and rice, all of which were transported from Lingnan, and he knew the hard work along the way clearly, and he never dared to make a mistake in the final delivery. Before I walked to the grain depot, I saw a long convoy, among which the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce had the longest convoy, and there were some individual merchants who made a small fuss, but their transportation capacity was limited, and the means of purchasing were limited, so they did not have any impact on the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.

A shrill drink attracted Meng Fangtian's eyes, and he sounded like a southerner, and his tongue was hard when he spoke. I'm arguing with the court officials who collected the grain and rice. Meng Fangtian listened for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Because this southern merchant was a member of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, the imperial court did not accept the grain and rice he sent from Lingnan, which was a great blow to this merchant, so there was an argument.

No matter how the southern businessman shouted and pleaded, the grain collector of the grain depot just refused to accept it, and asked this person to go to Su Ren, saying that as long as Su Ren agreed, even if he brought all the grain and rice from the south. The southern businessman wanted to cry without tears, and in the end, he was the most angry, slamming his head on his rice bag one by one, and saying indistinct words in his mouth.

Meng Fangtian parted the crowd and gently patted the southern businessman on the shoulder, and said, "Dare to ask Mr. is from Lingnan?" ”

The merchant turned his head to look at Meng Fangtian and nodded hurriedly. Meng Fangtian smiled and put his hand into the bag of rice and copied it: "High-quality grain, the particles are full, and the drying is not bad, dare to ask the shopkeeper how to sell this grain and rice?" ”

Southern businessman's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out five fingers, and seeing that Meng Fangtian was still smiling at him, he gritted his teeth and fisted one finger. Meng Fangtian nodded: "Okay, I want all this price!" ”

The southern businessman Jia was overjoyed, clenched his fists again and again, and asked Meng Fangtian where to send these grains and rice. Meng Fangtian smiled slightly, signaled him not to worry, walked up to the official who collected the grain and whispered a few words, the official glanced at the southern businessman, and waved his hand to signal that they could transport the grain in.

The situation on this side of the grain depot is in order, and Meng Fangtian is finally relieved. After a morning of running, my stomach was still empty, but unfortunately this is a military fortress, and there are no vendors who set up stalls. Meng Fangtian could only take out the dry food he carried, squatted on the side of the road and began to eat, attracting merchants and soldiers who came and went to take a few more glances at him.

Coming out of the grain depot, Meng Fangtian looked at the grass and the weapons depot again, and all of them purchased enough things according to the requirements and time, and there was no delay in the order, Meng Fangtian was finally completely relieved, and his walking steps were much brisker. There is no place for people to play in Yanmen Pass, there are soldiers standing guard every few steps, and all outsiders, these soldiers will always look at them twice like thieves.

Climbing dozens of steps along the winding road, showing his waist card several times, Meng Fangtian climbed halfway up the mountain of Yanmen Pass. In front is the white tiger hall of the main general of Yanmen Pass, now it has become a big tent of hussar generals, there are eight strong men guarding the door with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a white line is clearly drawn at the door three zhang away, anyone who dares to step through the white line without permission, there will be arrows that come out of nowhere to drill into the body.

Standing outside the white line, Meng Fangtian raised his waist card high: "Brother Annoyed Brother, Meng Fangtian of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce paid a visit to General Su." ”

A strong man stepped forward, took the waist card in Meng Fangtian's hand and looked at it: "Wait!" ”

Meng Fangtian just stood outside the white line, and waited for a long time before he saw Huang Shisan walking out of it, picking his teeth as he walked, not knowing what he had eaten secretly. Standing on the steps at the door, Huang Shisan waved at Meng Fangtian. Only then did Meng Fangtian gesture to the surroundings, raised his feet and walked into the white line. He bowed to Huang Shisan: "There is Captain Lao Huang!" ”

Huang Shisan looked unreasonable, turned around and led Meng Fangtian inside. There are a lot of people in the courtyard, coming and going in a hurry, this Meng Fangtian can understand, tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Yanmen Pass, ready to go out of the pass to fight, how many things to deal with, he didn't understand that since he became the head of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, he also understood.

Whoever he saw, no matter whether he was taken care of or not, Meng Fangtian was polite. When I entered the lobby, there was also a group of people gathered inside, all dressed in drapes, and of course there were a few scribes dressed up. A group of people, led by Su Ren, argued around a huge thing built of earth. When he got closer, Meng Fangtian saw clearly what the group of people were around, and it turned out to be a miniature version of the Xiongnu topographic map. After glancing at Meng Fangtian, he became very surprised, he didn't know who came up with this method, this thing was much clearer than the map drawn on the canvas.

The quarrel became louder and louder, and Su Ren slapped a few tables vigorously: "Don't argue!" It's so decided, now it's just winter, everything will wait for the beginning of spring, the main task at present is to pay close attention to training, if anyone slacks off the general's sword, he will not recognize people. ”

Su Ren is not very old, and that kind of majesty is not something that ordinary people can have. In just one sentence, whether it was a white-haired veteran or a young and vigorous young general, he hurriedly made a promise, and waited for Su Ren to wave his hand, and then left the square table and walked out.

After taking a sip of tea, Su Ren sat on the chair and took two breaths, and looked up to see Meng Fangtian: "Oh, shopkeeper Meng, come on, come on, please sit down, the God of Wealth is here!" ”

Meng Fangtian knelt down and saluted: "The villain Meng Fangtian greeted General Su." ”

Su Ren said with a smile: "Okay, okay, there are no outsiders at this time, so you don't have to be so polite, let's drink saliva first and let's talk slowly, hey, it's troublesome to discuss things with this group of guys, everyone thinks they can do it with one idea, why would you do it if you have such a big ability?" It will not let the Huns get away with it for so many years! ”

Meng Fangtian didn't answer, and he didn't dare to answer it. After complaining, Su Ren asked, "Can the materials of the shopkeeper Meng be raised?" If there is a problem with the money, even if I open my mouth, I will sell all the property of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce and hand it over to the shopkeeper Meng to take care of, but I don't want to lose all my money. ”

Meng Fangtian hurriedly said: "Everything is very proper, there is still a surplus of more than three million gold on the books, there is no problem, this time the general is to tell the general that all this month's military funds have been put into the warehouse, and there is no mistake in Beidi and Jincheng, please rest assured that the villain will never embarrass the general." ”

"That's good."

"Then the villain is going to prepare supplies for next month."

Su Ren nodded and motioned for Meng Fangtian to drink tea: "During this time, the shopkeeper Meng has lost weight, it seems that this errand is not easy to do, right?" Hehehe. ”

Meng Fangtian also smiled slightly: "There is still a matter that needs to be decided by the general today, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has been established for a relatively short time, and it is quite laborious to raise materials, of course, the villain is not slack, but because we businessmen have limited ability, so we will be slower." ”

Su Ren said: "Shopkeeper Meng has something to say. ”

"The villain wants to cooperate with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce must have very large stores in various places in our Han over the years, and it should be faster for them to raise grain and grass materials, and they can also meet the supply of the army, these two are ......" Meng Fangtian glanced at Su Ren, and did not continue the following words.

Su Ren frowned: "Lao Cui is embarrassing you again?" ”

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Cui, it's really the villain who feels that he needs the support of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, the general can rest assured that we will only buy goods from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and will not let them interfere in the supply of grain and grass materials, and our Chang'an Chamber of Commerce must be the supplier association appointed by His Majesty."

"Oh, that's it!" Su Ren thought for a while: "Will the price be higher?" ”

"Please rest assured that the villain has been in contact with several merchants of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce before coming, and their goods are good in terms of quality and price, even lower than what we can get, the villain must be optimistic, and will never be shoddy."

Su Ren nodded: "The Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has just been established, it is indeed a little difficult to let you do such a big thing, it is already good to be able to do it in the past few months, and the cooperation with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce I suggest that it should not be a cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce, and can only cooperate with the businessmen of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and you must bypass the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, that is, Lao Cui, do you understand?" ”

"The villain understands!"

"I will also explain this matter to Your Majesty, this matter must not be dragged in by the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, otherwise not only the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce will suffer, but even you will be in trouble, and you must be able to understand the reasons for this."
