Chapter 40: Bribery
The waterway is open!
Liu Yuanshan fulfilled his promise and gave Xu Liang 300,000 yuan of osmanthus soap at one time, which were placed on the dock and waited for Jin Shanwei's people to count them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that it is labor-intensive.
Didn't you Xu Liang want to act as an agent for our business?
Well, if you want to work, people will spend it on this. As for why Xu Liang's people had to be consumed on it, Liu Yuanshan had his own strategy in his chest.
"So much?"
When he saw the mountains of osmanthus soap piled up on the dock, Yang Chang's brows furrowed.
Before, there was only a concept of numbers, and I didn't know how many 300,000 there were, but now after I actually saw it, I felt extremely shocked.
"Naturally!" Liu Yuanshan shook his sleeves and said: "According to the agreement with General Xu, the 300,000 yuan will not be charged, and when the general flag lord comes to pick up the goods for the second time after you sell all the 300,000 yuan, you will repay the loan according to the agreement." ”
A piece of osmanthus soap costs four yuan, and 300,000 yuan is exchanged for almost 1,200 taels of silver, which is already a huge amount of money.
"Okay, I'll try it first!" Yang Zongqi looked at so many things and felt worried, after all, everything belongs to the boss, and he can't share a lot of money when he makes money, but he has to work hard day and night.
"You're bringing fewer people!" Liu Yuanshan pointed to the hundred and ten big men behind him and said, "These 300,000 pieces of osmanthus soap, even if your ship has a hundred materials, it must be transported in at least four ships." ”
The Cangshan boat sounds very good, compared to many fishing boats, it is already a behemoth, but in Liu Yuanshan's eyes, it is still a small boat, so small that it can't be smaller, only a hundred materials, and the total transportation capacity is more than 30 tons.
Thirty tons, not even an overloaded car!
Although the carrying capacity is 100 materials, it is generally good to have half of the effective utilization rate when considering the safety of the hull during actual transportation.
"Almost!"
Yang Zongqi looked at the mountain-like osmanthus soap and said: "The two ships in the barracks have been brought out by me, so I have to secretly transport them to Xiangyang Mansion at night, if I am seen by someone with a heart to go to the garrison to sue me, even if General Xu has already said hello, there are many troubles." ”
"So!" Liu Yuanshan patted Yang Zongqi's shoulder like his boss: "You have to run back and forth twice, not counting the personnel accompanying the ship, you have to divide the loading and unloading of goods, and also guard the goods and peddle goods, a hundred people is definitely not enough, it is better to have two hundred!" ”
"Yes!" Yang Zongqi nodded, and seemed to have no disgust at Liu Yuanshan's patting him on the shoulder, and accepted it happily, "I'll ask the general for someone when I go back." ”。
"There is one more thing, Lord Yang will go to my house to talk!" Liu Yuanshan made an inviting gesture in a low voice.
Yang Chang straightened up and looked around, and said, "This, it's not good!" ”
Liu Yuanshan laughed and deliberately said loudly: "Lord Yang, please come to my side to register and sign, and agree on the itinerary by the way!" ”
The soldiers who were loading the goods in the back listened to it, got used to it, and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Yang Chang nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he shouted at the soldiers: "Do your best work, you must leave tonight!" ”
Departing in the evening, two days and two nights later, it will arrive at Xiangyang Mansion on the third night, so that the time to unload the ship can be placed in the evening to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Lord Yang, please!"
Liu Yuanshan invited Yang Chang to the living room in the front yard and ordered his subordinates to serve tea.
"Liu Gongzi, please!" Although Yang Chang is the general banner of the army, in the final analysis, he can be regarded as a low-level member of this society, seeing a person like Liu Yuanshan who has a little inferiority complex in his heart, coupled with the ghost performances of Liu Yuanshan and Zhang Mo in Jinshan Weizhong, Yang Chang can now be regarded as admiring him, although he is not respectful.
"Lord Yang is busy before and after, I'm afraid he is also making wedding dresses for others!" For this kind of small role, Liu Yuanshan was too lazy to detour around the corner, and asked directly the question.
Yang Chang listened to his words, and was so startled that he almost dropped the cup on the ground.
"Hehe, where is Liu Gongzi!" Yang Chang smiled and said: "It's all an adult's business, let's just do us a favor, anyway, we are also training in the military camp on weekdays, and I can see the world when I come out." ”
"That's a lot of work!"
blurted out this sentence, which tasted a bit of sowing discord.
Although Yang Chang heard it, he couldn't get a share in the face of such a huge profit, and he complained a little, so he didn't interrupt Liu Yuanshan, but listened to him with great interest.
"Lord Yang is helping General Xu, but it is indeed my Liu family's business!" Liu Yuanshan took a sip of water, shook his sleeves and said, "Even if General Xu doesn't make a profit with you, I, Liu, can't let you work in vain." ”
"Liu, Liu Gongzi ......" Yang Chang instantly stammered a little.
"Huh!" Liu Yuanshan took a deep breath, held up the shelf like Yang Chang's boss, and said: "Of course, there are so many osmanthus soaps, it is impossible to share it with you again, but I have a separate way to make money here, I don't know if adults dare to take it?" ”
"This ......"
Yang Chang is an honest man, and he was quite hesitant in the face of the meatloaf thrown out by Liu Yuanshan: "If it violates military regulations, or fills my own pockets, I won't do it!" ”
He didn't flaunt himself, but he didn't dare!
"Don't worry!" Liu Yuanshan shook his head and said, "Don't say that you don't do that kind of thing, and I Liu someone won't do it either." The adult's ship arrived in Xiangyang to unload, but when it came back, it was empty, if you can help me carry some items by the way, Liu will definitely not let the adult work in vain. ”
"That's it?"
Yang Chang's heart was relieved.
"Yes, that's it!"
Liu Yuanshan said with a smile.
What Liu Yuanshan asked him to bring was the natural soda ash produced in Tongbai County, Nanyang Prefecture. Although he promised Tang Chuan to let him buy it on his behalf, wouldn't it be better if there was one more person to compete.
Once the business falls into the hands of a certain person, it is an absolute monopoly, and the monopoly can bring huge benefits to the supplier, but for Liu Yuanshan, it will be a big loss.
Now, if Yang Chang is willing to join the suppliers of soda ash, it will not bring any harm to himself, but it can also weaken Tang Chuan's monopoly position, and most importantly, in this way, he can also win over Yang Chang and get his shortcomings.
Why not kill three birds with one stone?
Xu Liang fell in love with his family's business and wanted to keep it for himself, but Liu Yuanshan didn't fall in love with Jin Shanwei and wanted to keep it for himself.
Jinshanwei is a guard set up by the imperial court, and private individuals are categorically unable to interfere, but if you want to dominate Fangxian without attracting the attention of the government, Jinshanwei, the first force in Fangxian County, must be controlled in your own hands.
Liu Yuanshan has not yet thought about how to operate it, but it is also a good way to first encircle some people for his own use, and then act at the opportunity, and when the time is almost right, he secretly gets rid of those who stand in the way and supports those who support him to take the position.
What Liu Yuanshan is doing is just an investment without capital!
