Chapter 138: New Business
The next day, the rain stopped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiang Hexing just got up, someone came to report that Gao Peng had come to the Barbarian Mansion.
Jiang Hexing cleaned up and had breakfast, Gao Peng and Xu Lang came to find him together.
After a few people sat down, Jiang Hexing asked why he was in such a predicament.
Gao Peng sighed and brought out the experience of the previous paragraph.
Gao Peng did his work quite hard, but he didn't come to the money that should have been given. Gao Peng borrowed money from everywhere and maintained it for a few more days.
On this day, he was approached by his supreme leader, the pawn, the supreme commander in charge of dealing with the barbarians who had been attached.
It was not only him who came, but also his direct leader, Daxingren, and several leaders asked him how he got along with these people in Pingzhou.
Gao Peng talked about his affairs in the Barbarian Mansion, including his friendship with Xu Lang, and how Jiang Hexing and others usually treated him.
Pawn Ke was delighted. Daxingren told him that in addition to Pingzhou, there are also distant countries in the Western Regions. The countries of the Western Regions are now very close to the Xiongnu and do not come to pay tribute. There is only one Pingzhou left to make the Hajj.
Although other officials also have little money, they can still get some money when they rely on the mountains and water.
But they are dealing with these barbarians, and now they are one, and they are not blackmailed. Now the emperor values the most important foreign vassals, and they don't dare to offend much.
But they had no other way to make money, and a few Shangguan, after thinking about it for a long time, wanted Gao Peng to come forward and do business with the merchants in Pingzhou. They don't have much capital, but they are officials and are familiar with other officials. Big business doesn't do, food those don't want to. I plan to cooperate with the people of Pingzhou and sell mink clothes. Many of the pawn's subordinates are often on missions, and they are very familiar with mink.
There is no restriction on this mink fur clothes, and private individuals can also do it. Coupled with the mink fur of Pingzhou, the wealthy merchants in Chang'an City have always been eager to go. Doing this business, of course, is good business. Just to see how to work together.
It was inconvenient for the big leaders to come forward, so they unanimously selected Gao Peng, and Gao Peng came forward to talk. After the negotiation, they were responsible for selling the mink. After the sale, the money was returned to these merchants in Pingzhou.
After the big pedestrian finished talking to Gao Peng, Gao Peng refused on the spot, saying that he would never do these things.
Daxingren's face changed on the spot, and he persuaded him for a while, but he refused. The pawn's face turned blue on the spot, and he didn't know how to lift it up, so he brushed his sleeves away.
After a few more days, Gao Peng was found to have made too many mistakes in his work, and he was fired, and he could no longer be a small pedestrian, and he could not work as an errand in the Barbarian Pavilion.
Within a few days of returning home, not only could they no longer borrow money, but the people who had lent money to them before came to collect debts. He is not an official now, but a civilian.
There is no money, the rice tank is empty, the child is hungry and crying, Gao Peng has been hungry for two days, and he has no backbone, he has run around his relatives and friends, and he can no longer borrow half a copper coin.
I was really helpless, and I thought of the Barbarian Mansion again, and thought of the old master Xu Lang, who was okay to himself. I had no choice but to come back to the Barbarian Mansion again.
He had already been expelled, and it was inconvenient for him to go in directly, so he had to wait for Xu Lang to come out. After waiting for a day, I didn't see Xu Lang. The next day, it started to rain again, Gao Peng was helpless, and he had to wait for the rain.
In this way, I waited on the road for three days, but I didn't find any trace of Xu Lang. He didn't know that Xu Lang went to Yangxiong's house, and he didn't wait for Xu Lang, but he waited for Jiang Hexing's personal soldiers.
That's how it used to be.
No wonder, this Gao Peng ate so hard yesterday, but fortunately, there were no accidents.
After Gao Peng finished speaking, Xu Lang sighed again and again, blaming him for not saying it earlier, so that his wife and children suffered such a big sin.
Gao Peng introduced that his wife and children are fine, although he has lost some weight, but he has been much better after eating some soup yesterday.
Speaking of this, Jiang Hexing said: "Gao Peng, what are your plans for the next step?" A family of several people, eating is tied to you, what to do, but think about it. ”
Gao Peng lowered his head and stopped talking.
Xu Lang said: "Heshunhou, don't blame him, Gao Peng is also a good person." ”
A good person sometimes can only sacrifice himself and his family, and does not want to compromise with reality, but the reality is tightly pressing, he has no way out, of course, he and his family are the most hurt, so that there is no food.
Jiang Hexing said: "Gao Peng, would you like to go to my Pingzhou to have a look?" ”
Gao Peng hesitated for a moment, and Xu Lang said: "Bring your family, go and have a look first, and if you are not satisfied, you can come back." Now that the port of Quanzhou is under construction, you are so young, you can go there first. ”
Gao Peng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Xu." ”
Xu Lang waved his hand and asked Gao Peng to go out first, find someone to bring his family first, send him away as soon as possible, and round with Wu Han.
Gao Peng went out, and Xu Lang rushed to the river and said: "Gao Peng has an upright personality, let him experience in Quanzhou first, and do things like supervision in the future, it should be good." ”
Jiang Hexing nodded, in agreement.
Although Gao Peng left, Jiang Hexing only knew the meaning of this pawn. They probably can't get it down, they want to do something, but they can't be blatant, they want to pass Gao Peng, but Gao Peng is a dead brain.
Jiang Hexing discussed with Xu Lang that these officials still had business to do.
Nowadays, the management is very strict, and it is extremely cumbersome to do a lot of business. If it is private, with the cooperation of such a group of people, many businesses in Pingzhou can at least be lively.
Who to ask to come forward, Jiang Hexing still decided to let the businessmen talk on their own, the Pingzhou officials understood in their hearts, but they must not come to the front of the stage, and it will also leave room for maneuver in the future.
Who's going to talk about it? It's better to be DuPont, who is a native of his hometown, and who is in the cotton business, and knows something about the mink business.
But Du Pont followed Fan Jia to Luoyang, and there was no talk for a while.
The two were discussing, and the soldiers came to report, and someone from the palace came.
Jiang Hexing got up to look, and the eunuchs who used to come often came to the Barbarian Mansion again.
This eunuch conveyed Wang Mang's holy decree to prepare for the river trip and make a pilgrimage five days later.
Jiang Hexing knew that this was an opportunity for Wang Mang to save face, and it was also a bargaining chip for Pingzhou. Pingzhou is attached, showing that Wang Mang is in all directions.
For Pingzhou, the only "barbarian" who came to the Hajj, Wang Mang was bound to pay some price.
Jiang Hexing asked the eunuch that Pingzhou needed to be in the place where Jishui had estuary, and he had already talked to Wang Yi, so why had there been no news.
The eunuch shook his head.
Of course, Jiang Hexing knew that he didn't have any power, so he just said lightly: "I've been unwell for the past two days, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the Hajj ceremony, you go back and talk to Your Majesty." ”
The eunuch didn't dare to say anything, his face was gloomy, and he hurried back.
When it was about to darken, Wang Yi took a car and came to the Barbarian Mansion.
Jiang Hexing was very happy, ran to the door, helped Wang Yi get out of the car, and took his hand all the way to his living room.
The two sides sat down, Jiang Hexing had just poured the tea, and he hadn't handed it over to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi patted the table and said, "Heshunhou, what do you mean?" ”
Jiang Hexing smiled slightly, but still handed over the teacup.
Wang Yi took the teacup, blew a breath, still pushed the teacup aside, looked at Jiang Hexing and said: "Heshunhou, what you said, the court doesn't give you an answer all at once, you have to wait." Now there are a lot of things in the court, so don't make trouble at this time. ”
River Pathway: "Now the Yellow River is out of the river and flows everywhere, and there is no fixed channel. Our Pingzhou is based on commerce and trade, and there is no waterway of the Yellow River, so transportation is much more difficult than before. In addition, after all, Jishui is not as wide as the Yellow River, and the channel is not so deep, so it is estimated that some large boats are not easy to walk when there is little water.
Therefore, we need a place to be a place to store freight.
Da Sikong, do you think we are asking too much? Don't forget, now only a Pingzhou is still subservient to the new dynasty, if there is no Pingzhou, how can the new dynasty show its prestige? (To be continued.) )
