Chapter 198 Credibility is worth ten thousand gold
Jiangnan Lijia Salt Farm.
Since Li Ling and Xiaoba left, the soldiers began to practice according to his orders, and they spent no less than four hours a day on training.
At the beginning, the soldiers were in full swing in training, and some of them looked good, but after a long time, everyone slacked off.
"Mr. Liu, can we not train these things today? Brothers are tired of it! “。 Early in the morning, the centurion ran to Mr. Liu to complain.
Every day is running, practicing knives, and his soldiers can't stand it, for no other reason, it's too boring.
There are a total of more than 3,000 people in the regiment training under Li Ling, divided into three presidents, Xiaoba and Li Ling went to the capital, and the other was injured and not yet healed, and the current troops are all in charge of General Liu.
"Nonsense, I said that your kid just became a centurion and wants to ascend to heaven? Why don't other people's subordinates complain, can't your subordinates endure hardship? I think you're a bad boy! Have you forgotten what the eldest young master said before leaving? Or do you think that you can ignore the eldest young master if you become a small boss? ”
Liu Jiang really wanted to get angry, in his heart, the words of the eldest young master were holy decrees, and everyone had to do it no matter what.
Sweat more in peacetime, and only in wartime can there be less bloodshed, how many comrades-in-arms died under the opponent's big knife when everyone fought to the death with the Japanese invaders, has this kid forgotten?
Only by constantly improving oneself can we meet the war that will occur at any time.
"Mr. Liu, it's not that I don't want to practice, it's not that I can't endure hardships, I just want to change the way I train!" The centurion smiled bitterly, it seemed that Mr. Qian had misunderstood what he meant.
He leaned forward and said in a mysterious tone: "Mr. Liu, the eldest young master once said that in the future war, the cavalry will play a great role, you say, are we trying to get a few hundred horses?" ”。
Madame Bai deliberately slowed down her speech when she spoke, giving people infinite room for reverie.
"You really dare to say it, horses are a rare object, and now Li Tuanlian is not here, where can we find them?" Mr. Liu shook his head and tried to reject the centurion's proposal, although his words were very tempting/confusing, but not very feasible.
There is no other reason, Liu Jiang has no money, an ordinary war horse costs at least about thirty taels, and five hundred horses are about fifteen thousand taels, even if he is sold, it is not worth so much money!
"My lord, we can slowly scrape together this money, you also know, although the regimental training envoy explicitly forbade taking the people's things, but last time everyone dealt with the Japanese Kou, I think everyone has collected some private goods, as long as everyone takes out these things and sells them, it should be enough to buy hundreds of war horses, right?" The centurion tried his best to encourage Mr. Liu Bai, trying to convince the other party!
"Okay, I'll try to get in touch with the horse dealer first, and then I'll talk if it doesn't work!" Mr. Liu nodded in agreement, but he didn't say too much, in order to leave a little leeway.
After being introduced, Mr. Liu got to know the largest local horse dealer, Zheng Boss, who had hundreds of brothers under him, who often traveled between the various tribes of the grassland and the Ming Dynasty, with strong strength and trustworthiness!
"I've heard of your deeds, and I admire what you have done, but there is one thing, hundreds of my men are waiting to eat, and if you want to fight horses, you need to buy and sell them in the normal way, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other!"
Boss Zheng is also a straightforward man, and he happily quoted his price: "Five days later, a batch of healthy horses will be transported from the north, a total of 500 war horses, just to meet your needs, our price of 30 taels of silver per war horse is good?" This is what you want, if you change someone else, you may not sell it to them for fifty taels of silver! ”。
The goal of the caravan was too big in the past, and some shrewd pirates specially picked the caravan after the transaction, and they came and went like the wind, which was unguardable! The losses of the caravan are often significant.
Now that Li Ling has successfully cleared out the Japanese on the sea, these people can finally do their own business with peace of mind.
They are grateful to these group training, so they are willing to sell these good horses to these other parties at a low price.
It's just that there are rules, and the rule of paying with one hand and delivering goods with the other hand cannot be broken.
Fifteen thousand pieces of silver, an average of five taels of silver for each soldier, which is really a lot of money.
"Mr. Liu Qian, I want to say ugly things to the end, we are only waiting for you for three days, if you haven't collected the silver taels after three days after the horses come, we have to contact the next buyer!" Boss Zheng said unceremoniously.
Fifteen thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and if the horses are smashed in their hands and cannot be bought, the people of the horse gang will have to drink the northwest wind.
"Definitely, definitely!". Mr. Liu hurriedly assured.
The communication between Mr. Liu and Boss Zheng of the Ma Bang went well, but when he returned to the salt field again, he made a difficulty.
The soldiers only collected more than 4,000 taels of silver, and everyone entrusted the family with their mouths, and when they came back from Dongying, they called the sound of silver to be handed over to the family.
"Mr. Liu, our salt farm can only provide you with 1,000 taels of silver, and any more will affect the normal operation of the salt farm! I think you should go to Dachang Qianzhuang and have a look, maybe they can help you solve the problem." The new salt farm steward is also a sensible person, these regimental training soldiers are the meat of the eldest young master's heart, so if you can help some, you can help some!
Dachang Money! Mr. Liu's heart lit up, why didn't he think that there were countless amounts of money coming in and out of the money village every day, and he only wanted to borrow more than 10,000 taels of silver, and wait until the eldest young master came from the capital to pay them back!
Mr. Liu came to Dachang Money Village happily, but he didn't expect the money shopkeeper to pour cold water on him: "Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry, we can't give you this money!" Dachang Qianzhuang is not the private property of the eldest young master, even if it is all owned by the Li family, there must be a rule for things! You don't have enough money to repay, we can't lend you this money! ”。
Liu Jiang was stunned on the spot when he heard this, he just borrowed 10,000 taels of silver, could it be that he couldn't move the eldest young master out?
In fact, he blamed the shopkeeper of the money bank, establishing a system and giving the right people the right investment, which is exactly what Li Ling said!
It's just that Liu Jiang can't represent the entire group training, so naturally he is not qualified to borrow such a large amount of silver.
Li Tuanlian's subordinate Liu Jiang always wanted to borrow 10,000 taels of silver to buy a war horse, but was rejected by the shopkeeper of Dachang Qianzhuang! The news spread around the bank like wings!
"Hey, I just don't have any money, if I have, I will definitely donate a few hundred taels of silver to the soldiers under Li Tuanlian's command. We are now able to live a stable life here. Didn't you rely on the bloody battles of the soldiers? If it weren't for them, perhaps we would be worried about whether our homes would be stable and whether the warehouse would have been robbed by the would-be robbers! ”。
"My father and grandfather, grandmother/grandmother were killed by the Japanese robbers, I will go to the lobby of the money village in a while, if the soldiers are really short of money, if there is more, I can still take out a hundred and ten taels of silver! With the profits from this trip to Dongying, I also want to help them once! ”。
There was a whispering of discussion all around Qian Zhuang, and everyone agreed that Qian Zhuang couldn't get by if he didn't help!
"Lu Yun, the head of the Lu family, has arrived!".
"The head of the Wang family has arrived!".
"The head of the Zhang family has arrived!".
When the shopkeeper of the money village was in a stalemate with Mr. Liu, a loud shout of a young man came from outside the door.
This is the rule in the bank, once a big customer arrives, the young guys will sing loudly outside.
The purpose of this is twofold, the first is to tell the treasurer of the money bank that the distinguished guests have come, and ask them to free their hands to receive them personally. The second is to let the other guys in the money bank know too.
These guys will begin to evacuate the crowd immediately, leaving a separate window for these distinguished guests to conduct business.
"There's a guest coming, please let me go!" The shopkeeper unceremoniously gave Mr. Liu an eviction order.
What a man is better than a man! I repeatedly begged the shopkeeper to borrow money, look at the three of them that are magnificent, as soon as they enter the bank, they will be waiting for the shopkeeper!
"The three shopkeepers, I don't know what the number is for?" The shopkeeper's smiling face greets him.
These three people are great people, the Lu family and the Wang family are all in the silk business, and the two families almost monopolize most of the cloth trade in Jiangnan.
And the Zhang family is even more powerful, at least sixty percent of the porcelain used by the people of the Ming Dynasty comes from the Zhang family.
The official kiln in Jingdezhen was also taken over by the Zhang family. How can the shopkeeper of the money bank offend such a few characters?
"Shopkeeper, how many taels of silver can I withdraw from your account." The three of them asked in unison.
"Your credibility is the highest, and you can spend fifty thousand taels of silver with us at any time if you wish, according to the lowest interest!" The shopkeeper's answer was fluent, without any hesitation.
"Seniors, I know that you also want to withdraw money to this Qianzong, why don't we each withdraw 5,000 taels of silver and complete this good deed together?" Lu Yun suddenly suggested to the two family heads.
He naturally knew that the head of the Wang family and the head of the Zhang family didn't need this money at all, just like himself, they just wanted to help people.
"Good!". The other two heads of the family nodded in agreement, their purpose was actually the same.
The three families have their own businesses in Dongying, and with Dachang Money Bank taking care of them, their business is naturally very prosperous. They were all grateful to Li Ling.
Especially the head of the Wang family, he has now decided to put aside his old grudges and become a maritime merchant wholeheartedly.
"Slow, our family is in Nanjing, if we let others pay money for Brother Li's subordinates, where will the matter be put on the faces of me and Zhao Qianhu in Beijing!" A sharp voice came in, and it turned out that another owner of the money village had arrived, and he gave Liu a total of 20,000 taels of silver with a wave of his hand.
The profits earned by Qianzhuang are countless, and Gonggong Li is naturally interested, and he sends Dongchang fans to watch in Qianzhuang every day, and he immediately knows about something happened here.
The matter was finally resolved, and Mr. Liu got the silver as he wished!
A small sedan chair stopped outside the gate of the Li Mansion, and Linglong's father sent someone to pick her up.
