Chapter Seventy-Four: The Tiger General Pang Shun
Zhang San was about to ask how the price of coal was here, when a large ship arrived at the dock in the distance, and the coolies who unloaded the goods surrounded the front and back of the houses, ready to unload. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang San saw such a scene before remembering that this was the original Great Song Dynasty, and this was going to find a company to see the price of coal, Li Si saw that Zhang San was interested in coal, so he asked: "Third brother wants to see coal?" Zhang San nodded, Li Si took Zhang San to a corner storefront and walked in, and the shopkeeper came out to greet him, and said, "Hey, Li Daguan, are you here?" ”
Li Si said embarrassedly: "Hugh is going to scream, this is my eldest brother, the real owner of Yixing Hutchison." ”
The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "Look, Liao Lao Er, I am dizzy, and I don't even recognize the true god in person, so please forgive me." A few people inside please, buddy on tea, good tea! ”
Zhang San didn't say anything when he went in, and went directly through the front yard to the place where the coal was piled up in the backyard, looked at the five or six coal piles in the backyard and asked, "Are these separate piles different in price?" ”
Lao Liao opened his mouth and said: "Yes, over there is 600 wen and 1 stone of anthracite produced in Datong Mansion on Hedong Road, and over there is 480 wen 1 stone of bituminous coal from Huaizhou,......
Zhang San heard that there was really a lot, so he asked Li Si: "What kind of coal do we usually use?" ”
Li Si said: "Oh, we use anthracite. ”
Zhang San pointed to the smallest pile of crushed coal and asked, "What about that?" ”
Lao Liao said: "Oh, that's the broken coal sold to the next household, a hundred yuan and one stone." Those burned up, and the ashes were heavy. ”
Zhang San nodded and didn't say anything, then Lao Liao looked at it and said, "It's better for the big officials to go to the front to drink tea, there are coal piles here, dirty and messy." ”
Coming to the front yard, Zhang San took two sips of tea and said: "Liao Dongjia, this time we are just to come and see, I have some guys under me, there are too many people in the family, and I want to rent a compound from outside the city to live, I don't know if Lao Liao knows that there is a suitable place nearby." ”
Lao Liao heard it, thought about it and said: "If you want to say that there is, there is really a Shen Garden, which is more than half a mile along the river from here, where it was originally purchased by a Jiangnan silk merchant, but later, later, ......"
The old man looked outside, and when he saw that there was no one, he said: "This was originally a small wharf of the Shen family, but later there was a tiger general named Pang Shun, who relied on the power of the Zhang family to seize this wharf, and here he sold coal and coking, and opened a ceramic kiln in the north. Mess up the surroundings with a miasma. ”
The old man sighed and said, "We people were originally selling coal by the side of the city wall downstream, but Pang Shunfei set up a Wuzhanghe Coal Guild to force everyone to move over. The Shenjia Zhuangzi is half covered, and the surrounding area is coking and kiln burning, not to mention the scenery, and even the gas is the smell of coal. ”
Zhang San thought that this guy was really unlucky, thinking that the smoke and dust here are so big, and it is not suitable for him to make sixteen incense, but he is here, it is better to go and see, Zhang San thought about saying goodbye to Boss Liao.
The two walked a short distance to the northwest in the direction pointed by Lao Liao, and sure enough, they saw a large courtyard, the courtyard door was locked, Zhang San circled around the courtyard wall, this courtyard covers an area of more than ten acres, it is really good, if it weren't for the bad air, Zhang San really wanted to rent it.
Speaking of the air, Zhang San looked left and found that there was no black smoke as he imagined, Zhang San ran to the embankment by the river and looked into the distance, only to see a few miles southeast of the courtyard, there was indeed a large amount of black smoke from time to time, but the smoke and dust blew along the northwest wind all the way to the southwest of Tokyo City, and this side had no effect.
Zhang San's eyes lit up and asked Li Sidao: "Brother, when will the northwest wind blow in Tokyo City?" ”
Li Si said: "I can't say for sure, sometimes in January and February, sometimes in March. ”
Zhang San calculated, that is to say, it can be used here at least one or two months, three or four months, which is enough, the key is that Lao Zhang will be unlucky after the New Year, this wall is pushed by everyone, and it is estimated that those who transport coking coal will inevitably resist, isn't there no trouble here, even if it does not fall in one or two months, the forbearance will pass, and then wait for two more months.
The more Zhang San thought about it, the more cost-effective it became, and asked Li Sidao: "Brother Li Si, how much do you think it will cost if I want to buy this house?" ”
Li Si looked at it and said, "Third brother, this place is too far away from the city, it is by the river, and there is a land next to it, what do you want to buy him." That's the stupid hat that's going to be in this house. ”
Zhang San said: "Brother, you just want to be a bad place, there are also his benefits here, you see that although this place is far away from the city, it is only a scene of more than an hour, but there are rivers and roads, and ready-made houses, the key is that it is cheap here." ”
Li Si still didn't think it was good when he thought about it, but Zhang San had to say if he wanted to buy it: "It's so desolate here, and it's ten acres of land worth three or five times at most, but this house has been built so much, it is estimated that it will cost more than a thousand yuan." But there is black smoke billowing here for more than half a year, and it is a half-panic that is abandoned, and it is estimated that 500 yuan can be bought. ”
Zhang San's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" That's it! Let's go to Lao Liao and ask where the owner of the house lives. ”
Zhang San pulled Li Sifeng to Lao Liao in a hurry, and asked, the silk merchant happened to live near Fanglin Yuan on Ansumen Nei Street, Zhang San said goodbye to Lao Liao and began to rush to the city.
After entering the city, it was already dark, and Zhang San thought that it was not convenient to open the door at such a night, and then let the family see that he was in a hurry, and it would not be good to slaughter himself. Zhang San and Li Si first went to the Shen family's Jiangnan Silk Village to recognize the door,
Zhang San and Li Si walked through Xitanchang Lane and turned north and returned to Zhang San's house, it seems that this Master Shen is still his old neighbor, the monkey is already waiting at home when he returns home, and when he saw Zhang San come back, he said: "Third brother, there is a small courtyard in Zhangjiazhuang in Xicheng that is willing to rent, but the place is a little smaller, and the third brother will go to see it tomorrow." ”
Zhang San smiled and said: "Hehe, don't bother, today your fourth brother and I have found a suitable place, you just need to inquire about me tomorrow, the owner of the Shen family's Jiangnan Silk Village in Fanglin Garden, Shen Wen's news, be careful and ask more." ”
The monkey also said happily: "The third brother still has the ability, you have to look, I will dig out his ancestral grave for him tomorrow." ”
Zhang San said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense here, a businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, how can you check his ancestral grave?" Don't go home quickly, lest your wife worry. ”
The monkey smiled, "Okay, I'm leaving." ”
Zhang San shouted: "Say hello to your wife for me." ”
The monkey said yes, and the man disappeared. Zhang San looked at Li Si and said, "Fourth brother will watch the business over there for me tomorrow, and I'm going to see what that chrysanthemum appreciation conference is for." ”
Li Si said: "Third brother, don't worry, I'll wake up!" ”
Zhang San thought about it again and said, "Let me ...... tomorrow Forget it, it's okay, let's go to the stall to eat something, and explain to Zhang Yuanba and Liu Yun by the way, so that they don't cause any trouble tomorrow. ”
