Chapter 525: Meeting
Zhang Han nodded and said with a smile: "You have arranged a lot of people? ”
"Yes." Wang Faxiang said: "There is an intelligence group, an action team, and a security team around to be responsible for the security of the adult's branch in Beijing. Our semicolon is on Qianmen Street, there are many people, and there are many people coming and going, so adults still have to be careful. ”
"You look at the arrangement of this matter, just loosen it on the outside and tighten it on the inside, and don't make it too public." Zhang Han said: "What about the specific itinerary?" ”
Wang Faxiang said: "On the side of Wei Daguan, we have already asked Gao Fat to dredge, and only sent the news to the official in the morning, and the adult's excerpt was sent to the Huiji Gate at noon, and I don't know how to arrange it in the palace yet." ”
Li Guobin continued: "My lord, we have widely publicized the news of your coming to Jingshi, in case someone secretly harms you. ”
Zhang Han is still guilty so far, even if Wei Zhongxian is behind, the power of the Donglin Party is still above the Wei Party, if the news is publicized, people with intentions will naturally weigh the consequences of calculating Zhang Han.
The carriage and horses began to act, Zhang Han sat on the car, in the scorching hot weather, the air in Beijing was indeed not good, the heat wave was steaming, the crowd dispersed soon after passing the city gate, the people on the street were very sparse, only out of Zhengyang Gate, when they arrived at Qianmen Street, the flow of people was slightly denser, Zhang Han noticed that most of the pedestrians were merchants leading mules and horses, and most of them were accompanied by long, and even some nearby merchants came with mule carts or donkey carts, and bought a few carts of goods and transported them directly out of the city. There are also merchants and the foot shop or the car owner mule and horse dealer in the city to negotiate the price, in the middle of summer, many people take a handkerchief to wipe their sweat to talk about the price, everyone is cautious and cautious, even if it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, these foot riders are not easy to deal with, Zhang Han glanced roughly, feeling that most of these people are not good people.
The so-called "car and ship shop feet, innocent should be killed", in fact, is a catharsis of people's emotions, a certain group of people are more likely to commit crimes than other groups of people, and naturally they will gain a bad reputation.
The logistics here in Jingshi, and Yusheng have almost no intention of interfering, whether it is a foot or a car owner, a casual and inconspicuous little person may be able to pull out a eunuch or a nobleman behind him, and if he wants to play the world in Jingshi, don't think about it without a background at the level of the national prince.
Soon after the carriage turned the corner, Wang Faxiang said to Zhang Han: "My lord, the entrance of our store is the place with the most people. ”
Zhang Han nodded with a smile and said, "I've seen it." ”
The semicolon gate of Heyusheng is indeed the most crowded place, and the crowd is much denser than other commercial houses, but fortunately, the store is large enough, but it is not too crowded.
The semicolon is also operating all goods, anyway, the cost is large, the purchase price can be lowered, and the shipment volume is large, and the profit will naturally come.
The core product is, of course, ironware, in addition to all kinds of groceries, there are still the most things or ironware, there are dozens of kinds of iron pots of various sizes alone, plus tools such as forks, rakes, shovels, saws, ironware, shovels, spoons, etc., there are all kinds of ironware, at least more than 100 kinds.
When Zhang Han got out of the car, the big shopkeeper Liu Ji came over with a few guys, and everyone saluted together.
Zhang Han returned the salute with a smile and said, "You have always worked hard, so you don't need to be polite." ”
He said to Liu Ji again: "It's rare for me to come here, add vegetables tonight." ”
Many big and small guys heard it, and everyone was excited, and a few young guys cheered, and were glared at by the big guys, and quickly shut up.
"Everyone is busy with everyone," Zhang Han said with a smile, "Don't mess up the business of the store because of me." ”
Many businessmen are looking at Zhang Han with curious eyes, they have long been known for the proprietor of He Yusheng, and Yusheng and Zhang Han are on the cusp of the storm recently, which has aroused the curiosity of many people, some businessmen came over and said hello to Zhang Han, Zhang Han is smiling and answering, and he did not put on a high-minded appearance because of his wealth, which also makes businessmen respect him more.
All the way from the lobby to the inside, the guys inside were busy shipping, and the midsummer season did not affect the ironware business of Heyusheng, and even because the wheat harvest that began a while ago made the sales of ironware better.
Jingshi's shop and those branches of Beizhi, including all the way to Yongping Mansion, of course, also include Xuanda area and even Shandong and Henan places, and Yusheng's iron farm tools are the best commodities for sale, many merchants in Henan and Hebei crossed the Taihang Eight Paths, flocked to, either to Lizhuang or to Heyusheng in various places to open a branch, Jingshi here is a big business after all, and there must be a lot of shipments.
Zhang Han said to Liu Ji: "How is the shipment of iron weapons this time?" ”
Liu Ji said: "The most out must be fork rakes and shovels, forks out of more than 170,000, plus the rest of the various goods, a total of 310,000, the rest of the iron is still counting, pig iron is also counting, grocery shipments are not large, but there are too many varieties, so the monthly report must not be out......"
"Who's going to test you?" Zhang Han said with a smile: "Now there are so many branches, you yourself are the manager of the region, you directly report to the main store in the monthly report, and then it should be Zhou Da Cabinet first, Tian Jitang audit, if there is no mistake or omission, I will look at the total number at most, and I don't have time to carefully read the monthly report of each store." ”
The daily routine and all affairs are tabulated or Zhang Han's efforts began five years ago, and now of course it has blossomed, all people, including the shopkeeper and even the directors and commentators of the Chamber of Commerce, have become accustomed to using the table to record and express, at a glance, easy to use, verify, summarize, and then file, many things are graphical, digitized, such a direct effect is that everyone has an intuitive feeling of the flow of wealth, unlike before, It is difficult for even the most astute businessman to find the complete curve of wealth growth or downward movement from the vast and boring ledger, and the probability of failure is of course much greater.
Liu Ji still presented some records of the recent ironware, Zhang Han sat under the eaves and watched, here is the north-south direction, there are eaves to block the sun, and the wind through the hall makes people feel cool, there are flowers in front of the house, unknown flowers are blooming, exuding bursts of fragrance, Zhang Han sat down, looked at a few times, and said to Liu Ji: "The demand for shovels should increase recently, and the demand is much larger than last year, Liu Ji, you have to stock up more goods." ”
Iron forks, rakes, shovels and other agricultural tools are much more in demand than before, after all, and Yusheng's iron is good, the iron quality is very good, there are fewer impurities, in addition to the manufacturing process through strict quality control, plus the price is not expensive, but a little more expensive than the rotten goods played out in those villages, so that even if the cost of logistics is added, the price is within the range of the people, and the sales volume has of course been increasing rapidly.
"Master Zhang, how can you see that the amount of shovels is going to be greatly increased?"
Liu Ji just received the report and wanted to reread it once, and someone answered the conversation.
The place where Zhang Han sat was a patio, and there were many people who came and went and businessmen who came in to see the goods, but no one didn't know each other to come here to disturb Zhang Han, and the people arranged by Wen Zhongfa and Wang Faxiang were on both sides to guard against emergencies, but someone came to ask, but the guards were inconvenient to reply.
Wang Faxiang said suddenly: "Father-in-law Gao? Wei Daguan? ”
Li Guobin was still reading the monthly report with Liu Ji, and when he heard Wang Faxiang's words, he first took a march, and then turned back, and sure enough, he saw that in the fat figure, fifteen or sixteen people wearing people's clothes, but obviously eunuchs, came in one after another, most of them hung swords on their waists, and they seemed to be wearing dark armor, and several people were still holding short crossbows in their hands, and as soon as they entered the door, they pointed at Wen Zhongfa and others.
Zhang Han made a hand gesture, Wen Zhongfa and the others took a few steps back, and Zhang Han himself got up and walked in front of Wei Zhongxian.
Gao Qi is tall and fat, like a martial artist, Wei Zhongxian's stature is also very high, and he looks like a typical northern man...... He wears a gauze hat and wears the clothes of a low-grade eunuch, which is very common in the capital, and the white leather boots on his feet are also unique to low-grade eunuchs, because he wears a hat, he can't see his hair, but judging from his sideburns, Wei Zhongxian already has a lot of gray hair, and in general, his temperament is quite healthy, and he feels very strong...... This person was castrated into the palace after adulthood, and although he suffered a lot compared to the eunuchs who were castrated when he was young, he was more likely to die when castrated, but as long as he passed through the ghost gate, his physical fitness was much stronger than that of a boy castrated.
"Xiaguan Zhang Han, knock to see Senior Official Wei."
Zhang Han did not hesitate, Wei Zhongxian's face in front of him was black and red, his appearance was that of a simple old farmer, and his face was also smiling...... However, Zhang Han knew that this person's heart was definitely not broad-minded, and there was not the slightest simplicity and kindness in his character...... Wei Zhongxian was originally a scoundrel, and later he mixed in the palace, a black place where he couldn't see his five fingers, and he could still mix his head, what kind of personality do you think he has? It is useless to look at the face of such a person.
"Please get up, please get up!"
Wei Zhongxian's voice was not too sharp, he reached out and helped Zhang Han up.
After Zhang Han got up, Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Our family really didn't expect that Zhang Dongzhu, who is very capable in our family's heart, is so young!" ”
Zhang Han said with a smile on his face: "The big official has won the award, and the lower official is just inheriting the ancestor and the father's Yu Yin, and he is lucky to do something." ”
"Hmm." Wei Zhongxian nodded and said: "You are the descendant of Fengpangong, the emperor has seen your excerpts, and asked some people, although your family is doing business in Xinpingbao, but it is an out-and-out son of a scholarly family, the emperor was originally quite hesitant and suspicious, after knowing your family background, there are a lot fewer doubts in my heart, and your echo is very appreciative of our family!" ”
Zhang Han's recital, which was originally the result of Zheng Guochang's discussion with Ma Chengen and others, did not avoid the matter of group training too much, but from the perspective of family background, loyalty, and emotion towards the Ming Empire, judging from the reactions of the emperor and all parties, it was indeed a quite successful recital.
Yes, Zhang Han engaged in chambers of commerce, annexed local forces, and trained private soldiers in his own regiment...... So what? Li Chengliang's family was 8,000 cavalrymen, with tens of thousands of military households and hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Xima's Ma family, Ma family, Zhang family, Yulin's You family, which family does not have more than 1,000 families and more than 100,000 acres of land?
Without these, how can we talk about generations of generals?
