Chapter Forty-Eight: Procurement of Military Rations (I)
In the commercial system of the Ming Dynasty, the dental store was an extremely important institution, and if you want to do a large amount of business, regardless of the type of goods, you must go through the dental store to successfully trade. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the buyer and seller negotiate privately, it is suspected of violating the royal law.
With a fan in his back, he walks steadily and unhurriedly, and he is a luxury figure on the ground, both official and private, whether it is for businessmen or buyers, most of them are a high-minded face.
Anyone who can monopolize the industry naturally has a backer behind it, such as Chen Ji Yaxing, who is in charge of grain trading in Guangzhou, and his relationship can go all the way to the government yamen. He also often came and went with several bookstores in Guangzhou Prefecture, and he had many friends with talented people, so when he saw a handsome young man wearing a corrugated hat and a straight shirt and a black and pretty young rich man walking side by side into the dental shop, it did not attract the attention of several people.
However, there is a sharp economic eye, who recognized the identity of this young rich, and sneered: "Third Sister Liang, what are you doing here?" Could it be that you don't have rice at home and want to buy food? For a business of thirty or fifty catties, you can carry it yourself in the grain store, without going through the tooth store. We don't eat dog meat, so there's no business for you here. ”
Another economist took over, "Eh, that's not quite right, although we don't eat dog meat, it doesn't mean that we don't have business, does it?" Sanjie Liang is not only selling dog meat, but also selling other meat, not a helper has been added recently, the Yang Liu family, who is a daughter-in-law and accurate, is now making a stall for her. Two widows sold together...... Isn't this just a door-to-door business? But don't you bring a guest? Why do you have to come to the door to find customers? We are a tooth business, but we only do the rice bean business, and this human flesh business has nothing to do with us. ”
Liang Pandi's hand clenched slightly, but then let go, with this man by her side, she didn't have to fight by herself, she had confidence in this man.
"A few people, don't talk too much, beware of not being able to take it back, and look at this, do your business or not?"
The boy pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it on the counter, and a few economists just took a letter from an acquaintance and didn't take it seriously. An economist took a cigarette pouch and put it in front of his eyes with one hand, and said: "Our tooth shop only does big business, and the transaction of twenty or thirty stones, even if you take someone's letter, we will not ......."
His voice stopped suddenly, the muscles on his face stiffened, and the Luohan bamboo cigarette pouch in his mouth fell to pieces on the blue brick ground, but the economy didn't care, just stared at the paperwork blankly. The economy beside him wondered: "Lao Liu, what's wrong with you, aren't you evil?" ”
"Shut up! You're evil, your whole family is evil! Go and ask the owner, go quickly! This is...... The official business of the governor's yamen! ”
This official document is covered with a red envelope, and it is impressively stamped with the Guangdong governor's nine-fold seal text that is one inch and nine minutes and five centimeters wide and two inches and nine minutes long! This is not an ordinary document at all, but an official matter issued by the governor's yamen.
No matter how much this tooth shop covers up the luxury, and the handover with the governor's yamen, but it is still the first time, how can you not be nervous?
Chen Ziweng, the proprietor of Chen Kee Ya Shop, is a very wealthy businessman in his forties, who walks slowly on weekdays and has to be supported by two apprentices. But today, I heard a rush of footsteps, and then a meatball-like object rolled from the back to the front, first saluted the young man, and then asked: "I don't know the name of Xiaoyouzun, where is your mansion?" ”
The young man smiled slightly, and returned the salute to Chen Dongjia, "Student Fan Jin, this is my third sister, and she has the final say in this business." ”
Fan Jin...... Could it be that Gongzi is the head of this Nanhai case, Fan Dacai? Disrespectful, disrespectful, what are you still poking like wood there? If I don't invite Fan Gongzi and this girl to the back for tea, I really can't do business more and more, and if I don't keep an eye on this tooth line for a day, something will go wrong. Outrageous! ”
The price of tea and snacks was sent, and several economic leaders were careful in front of Liang Pandi, Chen Ziweng didn't dare to open the envelope, he really went to see the contents inside, only looked at the customs defense, put the paperwork aside, turned to Fan Jin and asked: "Childe, are you following Zhongcheng's order, or ......?"
"This matter, it is indeed the matter of the governor's yamen, but it can also be said that the business that the student himself negotiated with Chen Dongjia, the internal reason is difficult to explain, and there is an edict from the Zhongcheng Hall, the student is not good to talk much, and I hope Chen Weng will be more considerate."
Chen Ziweng originally wanted to ask Fan Jin's relationship to which level of the governor's yamen, but Fan Jin's answer was clearly that he didn't want him to get to the bottom. But the meaning of the words has been pointed out, he can serve the governor's decree in person, and the relationship is by no means general, so he has to turn the gun and only talk about business. "If that's the case, the old man won't ask much, but I don't know, how can the old man work for the army?"
"The army needs to purchase a batch of military rations, and the demand is very urgent, and the number is not a small number like thirty or twenty stones, and I am afraid that it will not be able to explain without a few thousand stones. In the city of Guangzhou, the grain business is inseparable from your bank, so the students came today just to ask your bank if they would be willing to help the army control and do the matter of procuring military rations. ”
"Military rations...... Chen Ziweng pondered for a moment, and then asked: "We don't dare not do this thing, but I don't know how much the specific number is?" ”
"This business is a big business, and the total amount is not more than four or five thousand stones, and if it is pressed down once, your bank is afraid that it will not be able to catch it. If the delivery date is missed, our days will not be able to pass. So first small and then big, first purchase 500 stones, I don't know if your bank has the strength to do it within five days? ”
"Five hundred stones...... This number is not small, but since it is a Zhongcheng order, there is no reason to do it, and the old man will do his best to never delay the delivery date. I don't know how ...... the price."
Fan Jin smiled and said: "The student is a scholar, he doesn't know how to do business and set prices, so he will talk to my third sister when he goes back, she nods, I nod, and there will be nothing to say in the yamen." There is one clause that the payment for the goods must be advanced by your bank, and the payment can only be made after the first batch of grain is delivered. ”
Chen Ziweng nodded, "This is certain, the old man is not a person who does not understand the rules." This business, the trumpet must be done, and it will not delay the official business of the army. ”
"In one sentence, even if this is the case, the student will also leave, and there are still some idle things to do, so I will not accompany him."
Seeing that Fan Jin was leaving, Chen Ziweng hurriedly got up and said: "Fan Gongzi, stay for a while, I can't hide it, although the old man is old and has not gained fame, but in this heart, there is still the intention of learning, and some things in the article I don't understand, I have to ask Fan Gongzi." Come on, go to the opposite Sihailou to set a banquet, go quickly! ”
