After unloading the cotton, the men did not rest, and began to load the cart with salt, and although they were tired and sweaty, they refused to stop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now salt in Lingbao County is a precious thing, I heard that the security army occupied the salt lake in Yuncheng, this salt lake is rising in price every day, this batch of freight back will definitely make a lot of money, with Boss Zheng's person, this time to give everyone a red envelope will definitely not be less.

Taking advantage of the time when the guys loaded the car, Wang Yongwang took Zheng Bao to a simple grass shed next to him to continue to talk about the cooperation between the two sides in the future.

"Everything here is still too rudimentary, but in a few days the security forces will build houses and warehouses here, and then rent them to our merchants, and then the conditions will be much better." Wang Yongwang picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Zheng Bao, and said.

Zheng Bao was not in a hurry to drink tea, but looked left and right and asked: "Boss Wang, I only thought that you would be able to pass the checkpoint of the security army, but I didn't expect to do business under the nose of the security army, we are so close to the security army, if the security army is defeated, won't we be implicated?" ”

"You just have to take care of your buddies and don't tell the outside world about the deal. As for the failure of the security forces, you don't have to worry. They have been operating in Shaanxi and Shanxi for many years, and they have not seen what the official army can do to them in Yanchang Zhongyang, and not long ago they repelled the attack of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, in Yuncheng, and they will not fail easily. What we have to do is to take this opportunity to make a fortune. With the strength of you and me, I can only make a small fortune in this small place of Lingbao, and the ambition of my owner is not only here, so I asked me to contact you in the hope that the two companies can unite to quickly expand the business and seize the opportunity. To tell you the truth, after the security army occupied Yuncheng, the original salt merchants have been cleaned up, and now only our Wang family can get salt from the salt lake, and we can provide as much salt as you can sell to the Jiangnan region, and you know the profits here, and not only the sale of salt, but also cotton, sulfur, saltpeter and other things we need, as long as you transport them, we can buy them. And you look at these again. After speaking, Wang Yongwang shouted to the guy outside, and the guy moved a box in.

Wang Yongwang looked at the box and saw some cloth and clothes inside. Zheng Bao didn't know what Wang Yongwang's intention was to let him see these things, Wang Yongwang had already explained: "You see, this fabric is much more exquisite than the one woven in Jiangnan, and this dress is gorgeous, if it is sold to Jiangnan, rich people will definitely like it." We can sell the fabric to you at a lower price than the fabric in the south of the Yangtze River, you just need to sell it as you want, the four major events of life: eating, wearing, living and traveling. Wear is in second place, and this cloth and clothing business is very profitable. “

Zheng Bao picked up the fabric and rubbed it with his hands, feeling the texture of the fabric. He had been in business for many years and was an expert in this area, so he immediately knew that this fabric was much stronger than other fabrics on the market. If you can make money by buying goods cheaper than other fabrics, it is for sure. Looking at those clothes are all beautifully made and fashionable, there is no concept of whether this thing can be sold to Zheng Bao.

There were still a few daggers in the bottom of the box, and I didn't know what they were for, so I picked them up and looked at them.

Wang Yongwang introduced: "This is made of stainless steel produced by Zhongyang, and there is no such gorgeous decoration, but it is true that the iron is sharpened like clay and the hair is blown and broken. If you're interested, we can sell iron tools from Zhongyang, whether it's farm tools or weapons, as long as you want me. “

"Weapons?" Zheng Bao hesitated a little, weapons are forbidden things, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your head.

"It is not necessary to trade weapons, just all kinds of iron tools are very profitable, but now the smoke is everywhere, and the landlords and rich households in various places have trained the villagers to protect themselves, and the demand for this weapon is very huge. Wang Yongwang is also a master who dares to take risks for profit.

"I'll definitely pass this on to my owner. In the end, it is up to them to decide whether they can cooperate or not. Zheng Bao didn't dare to talk too much, he must have a very high status in the owner before.

The two agreed on the contact information in the future, and Zheng Bao returned to Lingbao County with the convoy loaded with salt, and on the way he called the guys together and told them one by one to keep the trip secret. Of course the guys know the stakes of things. If others don't know that they can buy salt from the ferry, the price of salt will go up, and they will earn more. If the government learns that they have been to the area occupied by the security forces and have been charged with a thief, everyone's heads will not be saved. So they all said that they would not leak secrets and would not talk nonsense.

The salt was transported to Lingbao City, Zheng Bao ordered people to sell the salt to the merchants little by little, and it was sold out in a few days, and the merchants also knew that Zheng Bao was a capable person, and they could get salt during this period, and they wanted to buy more goods from him. Sent away the merchant who came to ask for salt, Zheng Bao hid in the house and smiled from ear to ear, this time Zheng Bao made a lot of money. You can raise your head in front of the owner.

After the security forces occupied Yuncheng, they were not polite to the salt merchants and wealthy households who were hiding in the city, confiscated all their property, and imprisoned them. At the same time, Zhang Chu also understood that the security army's occupation of the salt lake was to move the cake of the original salt merchants, no matter how the security army gave in, they would also think that the security army had violated their interests and would not sincerely cooperate with the security army. What the security forces need to do now is to train businessmen who have a stake in their interests.

Cleaning up those salt merchants made Zhang Chu a fortune. Although Zhang Chu is no longer poor, he was a little surprised to hear the numbers in the newspaper.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty is not short of money, and it is the Ming Emperor who is short of money. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the bureaucrats in the court colluded with the squires and wealthy businessmen to resist the commercial taxes of the court, so that the court could only exploit the peasants and constantly increase the land tax. However, the magnates live a life of arrogance and lasciviousness, and they are reluctant to take out money to help the country when the country is in crisis.

Wang Jijie, as the investor of Zhang Chu's action, must be the first person to support merchants.

Wang Jijie has been very busy these days, and he wrote back to send a group of guys from Taiyuan. After the security army occupied the ferry, Wang Jijie's appetite also increased, and he was no longer satisfied with just doing salt business. He is very confident in what the security army produces, and if there is a broader market, it is very easy to make money.

So there was a matter of sending Wang Yongwang across the Yellow River to contact Yuji Trading House. Wang Yongwang came back and reported the progress of the matter to Wang Jizhuo. It seems that everything is going well. Now it depends on whether Zheng Bao can say that Yu Chunguang can be moved. (To be continued.) )
