Chapter 572 Sweeping the goods, the lady climbs over the wall
Wang Siming has been scolded by others in his life, and even beaten countless times, but he has only been praised by a handful, especially Wang Gao, who has served him for the longest time, has never praised him in his memory. If you do it well, you should do it, and if you do it wrong, you should fight, and there is no other choice. Therefore, when he heard Wang Fulin's praise, and he also said that he had lived up to that name, he couldn't be happier. Even if Wang Fulin still instructed him to do what Shulhaqi told him to do, and instructed him to do a good job, he did not have the slightest disgust and confrontation.
Because Wang Fulin instructed Li Erlong to pretend to be Li Rusong's personal soldier and help him! He had been taken care of by Li Erlong in the previous days, since he was not alone, and Wang Fulin and his party were also here in Fushun Horse City, he felt much more at ease.
When they entered Fushun Horse Market, Luo Shijie's master and servant rushed to trade to see if it was possible to pick up some cheap when the Jurchens were about to return. Wang Siming and Li Erlong saw the opportunity, excused themselves to look around, and quietly disappeared into the bustling crowd. At this moment, only Zhao San Mazi and Zhong Nanfeng Fan Dou were left by Wang Fulin's side, as well as Li Ye, who was accompanied by a few personal soldiers and protected. Of course, Li Ye has been paying attention to using words to relieve the other party's vigilance, but he didn't expect that the foundation had already been leaked.
On this occasion today, since it was found that Fan Dou's enemy was here, Li Ye was obviously a bit of a problem, of course Xiaobei would not rashly follow him to Fushun Ma City to join in the fun, but asked Zhao San Mazi to bring a message to Wang Fulin. At this moment, after Zhao San Mazi whispered all those words to Wang Fulin, he couldn't help but glared at Fan Dou angrily, and then glanced at Li Ye not far behind. Only then did he whisper again: "Uncle, Miss said that she would find a way to find out the bottom of that Li Qianhu." Don't linger too long after you've been here, it's best to go back as soon as possible. ”
How can it be so coincidental that the grandfather and father of the brothers Nurhachi and Shulhaqi happen to be here today! Shuerhaqi also asked Wang Siming to send a message to the two, which will not end in a while!
Wang Fulin glanced at Fan Dou next to him. Seeing that he had already drooped his head, he said angrily: "It's someone else who is making trouble for you, not you who is asking for trouble for others, this is no way, but the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it, raise your head." Okay, I will have a few words about the Jianzhou Jurchen, I can't learn and sell now. Cheer me up, or I'll be deaf and dumb. ”
Fan Dou didn't expect that Wang Fulin didn't even scold him for causing trouble, he came back to his senses at this moment, he was relieved, and immediately agreed, and then he led the way in front of him, and he had to explain all the way.
The rule of the Fushun horse market is that the Jurchens bring horses for trading. The government will first select and purchase it, and then follow the plan. Upper horse, middle horse, lower horse, foal four, etc. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the price of the best horses could be exchanged for five stones, plus five horses of silk and cloth, and this price continued to the present, mostly only a small fluctuation. The price in the southeast is a joke, but Fushun has the most horses. Grain and silk were urgently needed, so no one on either side disliked the unreasonableness of the price.
And the capital of the city, that is, the capital, which is used for trading, is directly issued by the Taifu Temple in the middle of the court. As for the direct management of the horse markets in eastern Liaodong, including Fushun Horse City, it was the Liaodong Yuanma Siqing who was supposed to only be in charge of the pastoral supervisors in various parts of Liaodong. However, this Yuan Ma Siqing is no longer the head in charge of Ma Zheng, and he still has a lot of official titles. Because the full name of his official title is, he is in charge of Tuntian, Liaodong Yuanma Siqing, and is also the envoy of Shandong.
It is precisely because the imperial court buys horses in kind, so in places like Fushun Horse Market, bartering has become the mainstream. From time to time, Wang Fulin saw people with different colors on both sides communicating in the proficient Jianzhou Jurchen dialect, and what he could understand was some words he had learned from Fan Dou.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the merchants he had met before, and couldn't help but ask thoughtfully: "If this place is basically barter, then most of the merchants we met in Fushun City before were light and simple. Luo Shijie, they are just the three masters and servants who travel lightly, what are they going to do in this transaction? ”
"Gold and silver are not useless, especially when the sun is about to set, the Jurchens are in a hurry to sell the things they bring first, after all, the Jurchen chieftains who come to Fushun to trade in the horse market often have heavy troops nearby, in case they are robbed, robbed of books, and robbed of goods. Gold and silver are easy to carry, so it is also feasible to bring the gold and silver back first, and then come over with the gold and silver to negotiate the price and buy things when the market opens three days later. ”
Fan Dou explained, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but want to see if Li Ye behind him was spying on him, so he couldn't help it: "Of course, the people who can really make a lot of money are all merchants who have hoarded a lot of grain, ploughing cattle and cloth and farming tools. Of course, this is expensive compared to barter, and it is still cheaper than other places in Liaodong, and of course it is even more so for the prices in Shanhaiguan. Because of this, so many businessmen are willing to travel thousands of miles to do business here. ”
Wang Fulin specially exchanged a few hundred taels of gold before leaving the Beijing Division, so scattered to everyone, simple and easy to carry, and can be used at critical moments, after all, the Yinzhuang ticket number has just been rolled out, and the network in the southeast has just been built, and the Beijing Division has not yet been extended, not to mention Liaodong, and the silver ticket is a piece of paper. But now it seems that these hard currencies are not more urgently needed than the Jurchens such as grain and farm tools, ploughing cattle, etc., but thinking that Luo Shijie and others also buy things with money, it is conceivable that it is not easy to raise and transport those scarce materials in Liaodong.
Therefore, after listening to Fan Dou's explanations, he was bound to buy some good things and go back to give them away. Uncle Wang Daokun and the two uncles don't say, as well as father-in-law Ye Junyao, plus Cheng Naixuan's daughter-in-law to give birth, Huizhou Mansion's father, sisters, sisters and sisters, plus a bunch of relatives and friends, how can I have a few old ginseng, a few boxes of good mink, and a few big bags of deer antler velvet and pure wild fungus, right?
However, Fan Dou is only proficient in the language, and he is not very proficient in how to buy goods in places like Fushun Mashi. was even more afraid of being deceived, so Wang Fulin went around in a big circle, and finally found Luo Shijie, who was taking two servants around to buy and buy, as for the Shen family's uncle and nephew, he didn't know where to go. He said what he meant. Luo Shijie didn't say a word and let them follow, this way over, the other end was a huge sweep of goods, Wang Fulin followed, but I saw that Luo Shijie often talked to the Jurchens like a cannon and bargained, and after a while, he simply ordered: "Buy!" ”
Thanks to the blessing of this Liaoyang Luo Gongzi, half an hour before the sun set, Wang Fulin prepared more than half of the things he planned to buy, including two real wild old ginseng that was very old. In the later generations, it can be regarded as a treasure, and the rest of the smaller or two smaller ones also received seven or eight sticks, and the flawed and flawless mink received a box, in addition to the deer antlers, and other kinds of furs, which cost more than a hundred taels of gold at once.
Of course, you can't hold it with your hands, but the most thing in the horse market is nothing else, it's horses. He and Luo Shijie each bought two dismounted camels to transport things. Li Ye, who was hanging behind him, saw that Wang Fulin and Luo Shijie were golden, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping. But he can only slander the loser in his heart, and his other thoughts don't want to move at all. It is good that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but since the problem is not here to suppress people, Li Ye, the head snake, knows that it is a stupid thing to have a crooked heart when he sees wealth.
Seeing that it was not early, he also went to inform him early, and Wang Fulin naturally nodded and agreed to return. He also followed Luo Shijie to manage the city of the horse market, and handled the lottery according to the value of the goods, that is, to pay taxes. This is not the same thing as the filial piety that the drunkard Lin Changfeng said before, but a serious tax on the court. The market value of the points is one out of ten, but when it is appraised, you have to look at the face, which is the money for the imperial court. Your backstage is hard, maybe a thousand taels of silver will mean to charge you ten taels, but if you don't have any backstage, don't say that you will take one out of ten, and it is likely to be doubled.
Therefore, Luo Shijie was a serious man with eight classics and ten taxes, but Wang Fulin was only charged a fraction. He knew that it would be foolish to be arrogant at this time, so he accepted the kindness with a smile.
By the time they arrived at the west gate of the horse market, that is, the east gate of the Guancheng, the uncle and nephew of the Shen family, the Jurchen slave and an entourage from before were already waiting here, plus the three people on Wang Fulin's side, and the three masters and servants of the Luo family, they were all together. Seeing this situation, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly escorted everyone into the east gate of the city.
At this moment, it is getting late, and the Fushun horse market has begun to gradually clear the field, the Jurchens have left from the east gate of the horse market, and the local merchants have also been strictly checked, from the west gate of the horse market, that is, the east gate of the closed city, many people have to stay in the acropolis for one night, and then return tomorrow. Therefore, there are many inns and hostels in the Acropolis that are dedicated to the rest of businessmen, and all of them are naturally indispensable to the military background, the same is the upper, middle and lower third-class, from the chase shop to the independent courtyard, and there are even many military households who rent out their idle houses or beds to guests, wanting to earn a few more money.
And the place that Li Ye arranged for everyone was his own mansion. As the hereditary thousand households second only to the garrison in this Fushun Pass, his mansion can be regarded as one of the best in this acropolis, and it is naturally not comparable to ordinary inns and hostels, and it is more than enough to accommodate more than a dozen people in Wang Fulin's line. He personally sent everyone over with a smile, and then said: "I heard that Wang Gongzi also brought his family, so I prepared three courtyards, two large and one small, the smaller one Wang Gongzi lived alone with his family, and the rest of the people asked to live in the two larger courtyards outside." There are a total of 120 rooms in the two courtyards, which is definitely enough for ......."
For Li Ye's "boldness and hospitality", Wang Fulin naturally had to thank him, and even the things he bought before were moved to the courtyard where they lived to take care of them, and after sending him away, he immediately called Wang Siming and Li Erlong. It wasn't until he brought people into the small courtyard that he closed the courtyard door, and before he could ask the two of them what happened when they saw Jue Chang'an and Takshi's father and son, Bizhu came forward. Hearing her whisper, his expression immediately became unprecedentedly solemn.
"Uncle, not long after we moved in, we found that there were people watching around, and they knew that Miss and I were a female dependent, and they arranged this innermost courtyard, and wanted to go out to find out the news, but they did everything possible to push back. The young lady was afraid that Li Ye would have bad thoughts and was not at ease, so she found that the wall here was the outermost wall of the Li house, so she and I quietly climbed over the wall and went out. Probably people didn't warn that we would be martial arts, so we went out smoothly. Miss took me and took your name card to meet Zhao Shoubei of Fushun Pass.
Zhao Shoubei heard that you are Wang Shilang's nephew, and he has seen Li Dashuai, this time he still followed Li Dagongzi to Shenyang, because he was inexplicably welcomed into the house by Li Qianhu to live temporarily, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he sent someone to see him and ask what was going on, he immediately poured a bunch of bitter water, claiming that he was squeezed out by Li Qianhu and had no place to stand, and he was miserable, and he also said a bunch of Li Qianhu's evil deeds. He said that the new Yuanma Temple Qinghong observed that he had arrived at Fushun Pass, and Li Qianhu knew that he could not delay for too long, so he deliberately delayed in the account books of Fushun Ma City. At this time, the young lady went to see the Hong observer with Zhao Shoubei, and asked me to come back first to tell my uncle. ”
Wang Fulin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice. The daughter-in-law's ability to climb over the wall is not good, but the good thing is that she will not be easily trapped, so don't you see a key person? What's not good is that the little girl is too bold, Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing is a high-ranking official from the third grade, not only in charge of Ma Zheng, but also in charge of the military preparation road, is the top senior official in the civil official sequence of Liaodong, strictly speaking, the grade is second only to Liaodong Governor Zhang Xueyan, and it is also above the other sub-patrol roads and military preparation roads, what should she say when she goes to meet people? But at this time, he was worried in vain, so he could only follow the steps first and take care of himself first.
He took a deep breath, and then said to Wang Siming and Li Erlong: "You come into the house with me and tell me in detail about the people you met today." One to say, one to add, and don't leave out any details. ”
