Chapter 270: Shen Wansan (Part 3)

"The Shen family will definitely go all out." Shen Wansan was not polite, and responded loudly with a red face.

He can leap to the south of the Yangtze River in just a few decades, in addition to the vision of the strange, dare to make a bloody investment when doing business, is also an important factor, and Zhu Chongjiu and Huaiyang freaks, right now is his Shen family's investment object, Cheng, then the Shen family is destined to become the world's largest imperial merchant in the next few decades, defeat, but the loss of hundreds of thousands of stone rice and dozens of boats of cotton, can not hurt the foundation of the Shen family, and once the artillery is obtained, in those foreign places in the South China Sea, the Shen family can instruct others to use knives to pay the bills, the "purchase price" of grain and cotton will drop to a lower level (Note 1)

At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu had no time to think about it, or he didn't want to think about it at all, what method Shen Fu used to get himself grain and cotton, and the reason why he made a one-year appointment with the latter was because with the extra hundreds of years of knowledge in his head and the muskets and cannons in his hands, it was enough for him to forcibly promote a primitive industrialization change, and an indispensable condition for the agricultural society to move towards an early industrial society was to ensure the supply of food even when most of the population did not go to farming and grazing.

In another time and space, the European bandits relied on the shameless plundering of Africa and the Americas, as well as the import of new crops such as potatoes and corn, to obtain enough food sources, and then began the industrial revolution under the bayonet, the Huai'an army is now unable to continue to expand outward, and can not find potatoes and corn, so the only way is to win over all the merchants who can dare to take risks, and tie them to their warships one by one through huge benefits, so that they can act as invisible minions of their own external expansion, to obtain more raw materials and food, Even if these grains and raw materials are stained with blood, they will not hesitate.

Next, there is nothing too important for the guests and the host to negotiate, however, the atmosphere in the courtyard is becoming more and more harmonious, for no other reason, as a non-standard time traveler, Zhu Chongjiu's mind is filled with business knowledge that is impossible for others in this era, and Shen Fu is the most business-minded giant in this era, the two sit together, as long as they get rid of the initial doubts and fears, they will not worry about finding a common language.

Some business concepts from later generations, Zhu Chongjiu himself doesn't quite understand, but as long as you casually mention a few words to Shen Fu, the latter can give very clear explanations or examples according to the actual situation of this era.

Shen Fu has been doing maritime trade business all year round, and his tentacles have extended as far as the Indian Ocean, and the fleet under the control of his family often travels between Quanzhou and Guowa and Sinhala. Although Zhu Chongjiu has never been abroad, he still has an entire world map in his memory, and he does not regard the situation of overseas "Western countries" as strange or strange (Note 2)

Therefore, chatting and chatting, there will be bursts of happy laughter between the guests and the hosts, chatting and chatting, the guests and hosts will have a sense of acquaintance, and I really wish to meet in the morning for more than ten years, so as to make up for all the regrets of standing out from the crowd.

Unconsciously, it was already dark, Shi Nai'an secretly gave Robben a look, then stood up and thanked him loudly: "I can hear so many strange things today, which opens Shi's eyes, this cup of tea, Shi Mou will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I wish the chief manager all the battle, and I wish Brother Shen a lot of money." ”

"Ahh Shen Fu was stunned, then he realized his rudeness, quickly stood up with the teacup, and said with a smile, "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, Shen also wishes the chief manager a long time and dominates the world as soon as possible." ”

"Then Zhu also wishes Brother Shen and Mr. Shi all the best in Yangzhou." Zhu Chongjiu slowly stood up and responded with a smile.

The four of them drank the tea in the cup, and then hugged their fists and said goodbye, Zhu Chongjiu personally sent the guests to the door, looked at the position of the stars above his head, and said with a smile: "Zhu still has some miscellaneous things, so I won't send it too far, Qingyuan, you also stay, about the specific details of opening a weaving workshop, I still need to discuss with you in detail." ”

"The chief steward stays." Shen Fu and Shi Nai'an hurriedly made a gesture, left together, and walked among the broken walls and remnants in Yangzhou City, but each other's mood was heaven and earth.

Shen Fu consciously found a good investment opportunity, and was complacent, while Shi Nai'an regretted his recklessness, seeing his good friend's appearance of flying up quickly, he couldn't bear it, looked around, and said in a low voice: "I said Brother Shen, when did you become so bold, you knew this, you really shouldn't have begged Qingyuan to take you to see Manager Zhu, this night, you almost scared me to death." ”

"When did you give someone someone, your guts became so small." Shen Fu waved his hand, ordered his entourage to keep his distance, and then continued to ask with a smile, "When you changed the way to cause chaos in the court and persuaded people to kill officials and rebel, why didn't you see that you were too timid, could it be that when you are old, that thing has shrunk back more and more." ”

"You're just going to shrink back the more you live." Shi Nai'an was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he gritted his teeth in return, "No wonder people say that you Shen Wansan belongs to the eighth king, and when you seize an opportunity, you will bite it." ”

"Thank you Brother Shi for your praise, the turtle is on the side of Dongwei, but it is a symbol of happiness and longevity." Shen Fu was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Shi Nai'an's cynicism at all, "It's just that the people who are accompanied by the turtle are relatively slow in their luck, like Jiang Ziya, when he was on the bank of the Weishui River, he fished for turtles, but he was over eighty years old as soon as he fished, and he was so anxious that his head and beard were all white." ”

"You" Shi Nai'an was pierced by someone, and he was so angry that he wanted to smash his fist, although Shen Fu's body was fat, his legs and feet were extremely flexible, and he hid to the side with a side step, and then continued to smile and said: "Don't worry, Brother Shi, you are a scholar, the gentleman doesn't use his mouth, and fights on the street, in case the soldiers who patrol the night now arrest both of us, your precious apprentice can't eat the melon." ”

"You, you shameless dog." Shi Nai'an is most afraid of dragging down his proud disciple Luo Ben, through Guò's close observation tonight, he has already determined that Zhu Chongjiu will be able to be at least one prince in the future, and Luo Ben, as the prefect of the largest city in the Huaiyang system, will have an unlimited future in the future, if he is delayed because he is confused for a while, then even if he does not complain as a disciple in the future, he will never be able to feel at ease as a teacher.

"Okay, it's just a joke, why are you so angry, Brother Shi." Seeing that Shi Nai'an had almost been tricked, Shen Fu arched his hand and explained with a smile, "Anyway, you are already in your sixties, and it won't take you a few years to reach the age of eighty, and Lingtu, after tonight, I am afraid that in the eyes of Manager Zhu, it will be more valued than you and I imagined before, not only will you not be blamed by the chief manager because of Shen's recklessness, but you will even have to go further." ”

"You, where did you come from?" Shi Nai'an was stunned, and the fist that had been raised was slowly put back on his waist, although he was well-read and had traveled all over the mountains and rivers, but in essence, he was still a scholar, and in terms of figuring out people's hearts and observing words and feelings, he was more than a little bit worse than Shen Fu, a big profiteer.

"Brother Shi, please think carefully, what are the two most spoken words in Manager Zhu's words tonight." Attentive to Shi Nai'an's ability to test the school, Shen Fu unceremoniously sold Guanzi.

"Tonight." Shi Nai'an frowned, and recalled carefully, "Manager Zhu has been talking to you about business tonight, as if he is also a wealthy businessman who has been trading for many years, what equity, options, what benefit maximization, what risk factor, what win-win cooperation, what edge effect, what brand image, I don't understand most of these words, but"

After pondering for a moment, he continued to add in a skeptical voice, "But it seems that the most talked about is the rules, and it should be, everything he mentions seems to emphasize the rules very much. ”

"Brother Shi is really talented." Shen Fu smiled and gave his hand in admiration, "Indeed, the rules, the reason why this Manager Zhu was able to kill so many people, but he is still called a Buddha, is because he pays attention to the rules in everything he does, and allows hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou to drink porridge every day to live, and it lasts for two or three months without any big trouble, and it is also because he has clear rules here, and he only recognizes the rules and does not recognize people when it comes to implementation." ”

"What does that have to do with you?" Shi Nai'an glared at Shen Fu fiercely and asked disdainfully.

"The relationship is very great, the reason why Shen is bold today is because he talks about the rules, Brother Shi, please think about it, in all kinds of proclamations in Yangzhou City, it is said that artillery is only sold to the Red Turban Army, but it has been said that others can't even ask."

"Nope." Shi Nai'an was stunned and nodded helplessly.

"Then Shen asked him face-to-face if he could buy a cannon and if he broke the rules." Shen Fu glanced at him and asked reasonably.

"Nope." Shi Nai'an wouldn't tell nonsense to his face, so he had to continue to nod.

"As the prefect of Yangzhou, the Lingtu tried every means to open up food sources in order to let the people survive as much as possible, did he break the rules?"

"Of course not." Finally, Shi Nai'an also pondered some of the flavors, and responded loudly, "Not only is he not guilty, but he is also meritorious." ”

"That's right, then when Shen's purpose is said, will the disciples stand on the side of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, or on the side of you and me."

"He eats people, of course he has to be loyal." Shi Nai'an was stunned again, and there was a little weakness in the voice of the answer, Robben did it very clearly at that time, he wanted to protect the interests of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, but also didn't want to embarrass himself as a master, and he wanted to take care of both ends, and in the end, it was likely that both ends were not pleased.

"You, you write so well, why can't you figure it out." Shen Fu glanced at him again, and said regretfully, "I still want to become an emperor's teacher, according to my brother, you still have to write a book for a lifetime, after all, articles are a matter of eternity, and being an official can only be rich for a while." ”

"You, what do you mean by that?" Shi Nai'an was like being stripped naked, his face was full of embarrassment, and he asked in a trembling voice, he came to Yangzhou this time, and he did have the idea of choosing the master, but he never said it clearly, he thought he was hiding it cleverly, but he didn't expect that he had already been seen clearly.

"If you are the general manager of Yangzhou, are you willing to use a person who will not hesitate to cut off the teacher for the future, or use a person who knows how to repay the kindness, is affectionate and righteous, and would rather be disliked by the boss, but also give the teacher a step and give the teacher's friends a chance to live."

"Of course, it's the one who repays the kindness, otherwise, who can be sure if he will also stab him in the future."

"That's right, an official like Lingtu who abides by the rules, cares about the people, and knows how to repay kindness, if Manager Zhu can't use it, he will be blind, Brother Shi, do you see that Manager Zhu looks like a blind man."

"Of course not." Shi Nai'an was said to lose his temper, and responded with a breath, he was indeed said by Shen Fu, he is really not an official material, and he doesn't understand the simplest truths in officialdom at all.

However, soon, he keenly appeared on another big question, raised his hand, pointed at Shen Fu's nose and shouted: "Shen Wansan, you are pretending to be stupid tonight, you are not so scared at all tonight, you already knew that Manager Zhu would not touch a single hair of you, right, you have been pretending to be stupid tonight, yes and no, yes and no,." ”

Note 1: When Zhu Yuanzhang pacified Yunnan, Shen Wansan was nearly 100 years old, so in the history of the Qing Dynasty, Shen Wansan donated to repair the city wall of Nanjing, angered Zhu Yuanzhang, and was matched with Yunnan, which is pure slander, in fact, when Zhang Shicheng occupied Wuhui, Shen Wansan had died, but the Shen family was defeated, and it was indeed because of the political question, with Wujiang County Chronicles, Shen Wansan's two sons, who had transported rice to Dadu many times, and had a very close relationship with Zhang Shicheng, so after Zhang Shicheng was defeated and killed, the defeat of the Shen family was inevitable, And the Shen family is keen on political investment, which can be seen in general.

Note 2: Gova and Sinhala, which are now Goa and Ceylon, belonged to the intersection of Islamic civilization and ancient India at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and were relatively prosperous, rich in all kinds of gems and herbs.
