Chapter 34: Business, Monopoly, Gifts

(0034)

Zhang Zhun returned to Yangjiatun and found Yang Yinghan waiting for him.

It is indeed a bit strange that someone came to Yang Yinghan by name, no wonder Yang Yinghan came to Zhang Zhun for the first time. She basically has no contact with the outside world, except for people from Yangjiatun, there should be few people who know her name, how can anyone name her?

Zhang Zhun and Yang Yinghan came to Yangjiatun, and the other party had been received in a brand-new thatched house. This thatched house was newly built by Yang Kaide under the command of the villagers, mainly to greet the fathers and villagers who came to deliver illegal salt. Everyone brings coarse salt here, and when they are tired and thirsty, they take a sip of water here and take a rest. It not only shows that Yangjiatun is hospitable, but also to prevent outsiders from entering Yangjiatun, so as not to reveal the secret of refined salt purification.

The person who came was a thin and tall man in his fifties, with two mustaches, like a master, crepe, with two retinues. The retinue was not armed. They claimed to be businessmen from Jimo County, but refused to reveal their true identities. Of course, the guards who were on guard nearby couldn't let him in. But he insisted on seeing Yang Yinghan, and the guards settled him in a thatched hut.

Seeing Yang Yinghan coming, the person who looked like a master stood up, bowed down and said, "May I ask if this is Miss Yang Yinghan Yang?" ”

Yang Yinghan looked at him suspiciously, then looked at Zhang Zhun, and said quietly: "I am." Pls are you ......"

The master immediately saluted and said: "In Xiayu Nanyi, from Qingzhou Mansion, my lord of the family greets Miss Yang from above and below, and wishes Miss Yang good health and beauty. ”

The other party was so polite, which was unexpected by Zhang Zhun.

Yang Yinghan said: "I'm sorry, our Yangjiatun is too simple, if Mr. Yu doesn't dislike it...... Have a seat. ”

Yu Nan said with a smile: "Don't dare to bother Miss Yang." In the next place, he just came forward in place of the Lord, and the Lord entrusted him to bring a gift and hand it to Miss Yang in person. ”

After that, he took a brocade box from the entourage behind him, gave it with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is a gift from my family master to Miss Yang, and I ask Miss Yang to accept it with a smile." ”

He smiled at Zhang Zhun and said, "The master of my family is a woman, and I ask Zhang Gongzi not to misunderstand." ”

Zhang Zhun really wanted to ask the truth, he was courteous and courteous, either he was killed or stolen, if the other party had ill intentions towards Yang Yinghan, he had to break the other party's head. But the other party explained in advance, but he couldn't speak, so he had to ask: "Dare to ask your ......?"

Yu Nan said with a smile: "My master said that when I see Zhang Gongzi in the future, I will tell my identity and name in person, but I don't dare to disclose it at the moment, and I ask Zhang Gongzi to forgive me." ”

Zhang Zhun frowned quietly.

Mysterious gifts, what kind of plane?

However, the other party's fiddling with the mystery doesn't seem to be a big deal.

The biggest possibility is that it is still for the sale of refined salt, and it should be that the huge profits of refined salt are remembered.

Judging from Yang Ruifeng's feedback, as well as Yang Yinghan's recorded financial revenue and expenditure, the current refined salt is Tang monk meat! In just half a month, Yang Yinghan's account already has thousands of taels of silver in his account. In the past, all the assets of Yangjiatun were combined, and I am afraid that they were not more than a fraction of this number. The silver was hidden in a makeshift cellar.

Yang Yinghan hesitated, not knowing whether he should take this brocade box.

Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand to take the brocade box and said calmly: "In that case, thank you for your favor!" I, Zhang Zhun, also wish you good health and youth. ”

Yu Nan said with a smile: "There is another thing to inform Miss Yang and Zhang Gongzi, my family master is interested in buying all the refined salt of your Yangjiatun, if you two have the goods in hand, you might as well send it to Zhao Laoba in Zhaojiatun, and trade it with cash, and never default." The price of refined salt per catty is one hundred and sixty yuan. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded unconsciously.

Sure enough, it came for refined salt.

However, the price of 160 yuan is 5 yuan higher than before. Moreover, there is a great advantage, that is, only the refined salt is sent to Zhaojiatun, which greatly shortens the transportation distance of refined salt. From Yangjiatun to Zhaojiatun, you can go back and forth in one day. Shorter distances mean less risk. The soldiers who escorted the refined salt didn't have to be so nervous.

It seems that Yu Nanyi's lord is really a little sincere in doing business, and at the same time he is cunning and cunning. She should know that she is the one who is in charge of Yangjiatun, but she doesn't look for herself, but comes to Yang Yinghan, and gives a gift in advance, so that she can't refuse. However, since the other party has offered an outstanding price, there must be some other requirements.

Zhang Zhun said: "This is very good, I am willing to sell refined salt to you." I don't know if you have any other requirements? ”

Yu Nanyi said: "My family is grateful, if Miss Yang can sell all the refined salt to us and not sell it to others, my family will be grateful." Of course, this is just a small request, and if the two of them feel embarrassed, they should not say anything. ”

Yang Yinghan subconsciously looked at Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that what the other party really means is to have this exclusive right.

According to Yang Ruifeng's feedback, there is a shortage of refined salt in the whole of Shandong, and the retail price of refined salt has been sold for 2780 yuan, and the price continues to rise. At this time, you can easily make huge profits by controlling all the refined salt in your own hands. It is even possible to control the sale of refined salts for some other purpose.

Yu Nan's words are good, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, but who is you? Since the other party has the sincerity to do business, he will definitely not be small. One hundred and sixty yuan per catty of refined salt, which is already very good for Yang Jiatun. The rest of the profits will be handed over to others to earn. Interests are bundled, the more people are bundled, the better, and eating alone is not fat!

Zhang Zhun immediately said: "Okay! I, Zhang Yulin, promise you that all the refined salt will be sold to you, and will not be sold to anyone else! ”

Yu Nanyi suddenly smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

Yang Yinghan said with some curiosity: "Mr. Yu, I don't know how your lord knows me?" ”

Yu Nan said with a smile: "This is not very clear in the next place, but it is under the orders to act, and the specific details are also requested to Miss Yang to see my family master in the future, and then ask in person!" My family master said that she will definitely meet Miss Yang in the future, and she is very envious of Miss Yang's beauty! ”

Yang Yinghan had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay." ”

Yu Nan said goodbye with a smile.

Zhang Zhun nodded and sent him outside the hut.

Yu Nan took two followers and quickly disappeared.

His arrival, and his departure, seemed rather bizarre.

What's even more weird is that his master, I don't know which one, he actually knows Yang Yinghan, but he is a woman, or from the distant Qingzhou Mansion, it's really strange. Laizhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion, the distance is too far, people from Qingzhou Mansion came to Yangjiatun to buy refined salt, it seems that the shortage of refined salt in Shandong is indeed quite powerful.

Yang Yinghan looked at the brocade box in his hand, then looked at Zhang Zhun, and said uncertainly: "Yulin, I don't know what's inside?" ”

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "I'll open it." ”

As he spoke, he took the brocade box and checked it left and right, but found nothing abnormal, so he slowly opened the brocade box.

"Huh?"

"Silver bills!"

Yang Yinghan couldn't help but exclaim.

It turned out that there was nothing else in the brocade box, just twenty small silver bills.

All the silver bills were placed in red silk depressions, and they were arranged very neatly. The light shone brightly, and it was silvery white. At a glance, you can see that these silver coins are not circulated in the market, but are used for special gifts. If you look closely, you will find that on the top of each silver bill, there are the words "Sihai Qianzhuang" and a special imprint, indicating that it is a gift box specially produced by Sihai Qianzhuang.

Brigadier Zhang picked up the silver bills and weighed them, and found that each silver bills weighed at least five taels. Twenty pieces of silver are a hundred taels of silver. Because it is a silver coin for gifts, the fineness is very sufficient, and the appearance is not damaged in the slightest. If such a silver coin of full color were exchanged for copper coins, it would be worth at least 1,200 copper coins per tael.

In fact, there is no need to look at anything else, just the unique mark of Sihai Qian Zhuang is the greatest quality assurance. Since the fifteenth year of Wanli, Sihai Qianzhuang has been synonymous with the money industry and has an excellent reputation. The gift box produced by Sihai Money Village has always been a very popular gift for the upper class.

The price of silver in the Ming Dynasty has always been relatively expensive, and the purchasing power is very strong, until after the Wanli year, overseas trade is very developed, and a large amount of silver flows in from overseas, which leads to the continuous decline of silver prices. But, even so, silver is worth a lot. You must know that during the Chongzhen period, the country's annual financial revenue was only three or four million taels of silver.

A hundred taels of silver is enough to buy a hundred stone of grain.

A hundred stone of grain is almost 20,000 catties!

With such a heavy gift, it is no wonder that Yang Yinghan exclaimed.

If this brocade box was given to Zhang Zhun, she wouldn't be so surprised, others asked him. However, these silver bills were given to her by the other party, not to Zhang Zhun. What's even more strange is that listening to Yu Nanyi's statement, the gift giver is actually a woman! Yang Yinghan really couldn't understand when she had met such a nobleman.

"Yulin ......"

Yang Yinghan was excited, nervous, and a little incredulous, and didn't know what to do. She is not used to receiving gifts from others.

"You can leave it alone."

Zhang Zhun thought for a moment and said slowly.

If it was a hundred taels of silver before this, the two of them would definitely jump up with joy, and it was definitely not as simple as exclaiming. But now, the two of them have the cash cow of refined salt purification, and they will naturally not be too excited. With such a brocade box, they can earn one a day.

Such gold bills are generally used for collection, and they will definitely not be taken out for use unless they have to. It just so happens that Yang Yinghan has never had any gold and silver jewelry or anything like that, and this brocade box is even her first private money.

[Ask for collection, ask for recommendation~~~~]
