"Your Majesty!" Shen Wansan said: "Most of the people who go to the South China Sea go to the coastal coast, in terms of the difficulty of navigation, it is much easier than going to Fusang, but the land of Lingnan is still in the hands of Meng Yuan, and pirates are rampant along the way, if there is no strong naval escort, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass!" ”

"It's not difficult! I can dispatch naval warships to escort the fleet to sea, and I will calculate the price of all the goods that the old gentleman brought out from me this time, and I only need you to transport back the grain from the South Seas, and I will buy it at a fair price! Hao Ren was anxious to solve the problem of food supply and generously solved Shen Wansan's problems. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Majesty is generous!" Shen Wansan smiled with his gray beard. He knew that even if it was eighty percent of the price, Hao Ren's profit was very considerable.

"Hey!" Hao Ren also played Tai Chi and said quite sympathetically: "The old gentleman has spent a lot of money to repair the road, I should always compensate the old gentleman, right?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Shen Wansan smiled: "This is really a good deal!" But the grass people have a small request! ”

Since Hao Ren exchanged a large number of overstocked goods from Shen Wansan for cash, and the fleet returned, he could still solve the problem of a large amount of grain, for Hao Ren, there was nothing more cost-effective than this.

Shen Wansan went to the South Seas, with the escort of the navy, he was able to ensure the safety of the road, and the grain he brought back on the return trip was basically equal to making money in vain, although the profit was far less than Hao Ren's, it was enough for Shen Wansan to make a lot of money, at least the huge amount of money spent on road construction in the past few years will be recovered.

"But it doesn't matter, sir, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!" Hao Ren said generously.

"I'm going to go to sea this time with a thousand repeaters. I promise to bring them all to the South Seas, and I won't fall into Middle-earth! ”

The repeater crossbow is a military product, like a six-pounder gun, it is not sold abroad, Shen Wansan swore that he was very eager.

The businessman is looking for profit, since he wants to bring it, it must be a place where the Nanyang Islands are in demand, Hao Ren asked Shen Wansan, and he didn't think much about it, so he readily agreed.

"I also want to ask the old gentleman to use your current reputation to help me make a deal with a few Hülegü merchants in Luzhou, I will come out of the goods, and you are only responsible for negotiating!" Hao Ren said again.

"The Hulegu people have always been shrewd in business, but I, Shen Wansan, am even more shrewd, Your Majesty rest assured, I promise not to let them hack Your Majesty a penny - I don't know what business Your Majesty wants to do with them?" Shen Wansan said.

"Food!"

"Grain?"

There was a shortage of grain in the whole country in the Great Song Dynasty, and they had to use sea ships to import it from abroad, and Hao Ren actually had grain to sell to merchants, was he still afraid that the price of grain would not be high enough?

……

Coming to the grain store from afar, Shen Wansan took two small guys, pushed aside the crowd, and walked straight to the door, and was already seen by the boss of the grain store who was watching behind the door, and recognized that the person who came was Shen Wansan, the richest man in China, and quickly opened the crack in the door and let Shen Wansan and his party come in.

"Allah!" With his hands to the sky, a beautiful beard revealing shrewdness, and a spotless white turban, Muhammad exaggerated: "The cool summer breeze has brought the noble and virtuous Lord Shen, and Muhammad does not know what can be done for you!" ”

Shen Wansan flipped the compliment and said: "I want to purchase goods to go to sea, I urgently need silver in Luzhou, and it is too late to return to Pingjiang to transport it, so I want to sell a few warehouses of grain in Luzhou, I don't know if you can be interested?" ”

"Lord Shen, stop kidding. Now that the price of this grain is rising layer by layer, you just need to be like me and open a port to sell it, why does Lord Shen sell me grain? Muhammad's eyes rolled as he thought that there was no such thing in the world.

"Lord Muhammad does not know that my son is an official of the court, and if I come forward to raise prices, I am afraid that it will be a disadvantage for my son's career, so I think of Lord Muhammad. I'll give you a little more profit, but it's just to buy a good reputation! Shen Wansan explained.

The reason why Muhammad held on to the grain and did not buy it was because the grain in the warehouse was limited, and in order to maximize profits, he could only wait until the highest point of grain to sell, if there was more grain, he would have more profits, even if Shen Wansan sold the grain to him at the current market price, as long as he hoarded it for three or five days to sell, he would have a huge profit to earn.

"What price?"

"Seven times parity!"

Muhammad was completely moved!

At present, the price of grain is more than 10 times the price of parity, and as long as it comes in at this price, it will make a profit of 30% if it is sold directly.

"How many?"

"800,000 stones!"

Muhammad felt like a big pie had fallen from the sky and smashed it on his head, but with Muhammad's financial resources, he could not eat it himself, so he had to unite with the other six grain stores.

The seven grain stores got together, and they couldn't afford to pay the money, so they could only beg Shen Wansan to write down a piece of paper, pawn all their net worth and property as a mortgage, and pay off the balance within ten days as the lower limit.

The Hülegü people were shrewd, and seeing that this was a business that could be earned as soon as they got it, as long as they sold some grain, they could make up the payment for the goods without waiting for ten days, and a lot of silver would be counted.

Shen Wansan was generous, took a large amount of cash and the mortgage documents of the seven grain stores, turned around and left, 800,000 stone grain, a grain is a lot, and arrived at the warehouse of the seven grain stores outside the city at night on time.

Muhammad's heart blossomed, and he waited for the market to open at dawn, when the large sums of money would be returned.

As soon as the sky was dawning, Muhammad, who was still laughing in his sleep, was woken up by his buddy: "Master, it's amazing, the Luzhou government opened a warehouse to buy grain and sold grain at five times the market price!" ”

"It's okay! It's okay! Muhammad had already figured out the situation, and pretended to be calm: "The Great Song Dynasty has been using troops for many years, and the war in the west has been fought in the west, and the grain in the Luzhou treasury is basically exhausted. ”

"Amazing, master!" In the afternoon, the shopkeeper came in a hurry: "The official warehouse sells grain at three times the market price!" ”

"Huh!" Muhammad said with a smile: "Buy grain at three times the market price, his treasury will run out faster, continue to hold on to the grain, and not sell it!" ”

"Amazing, master!" In the evening, the shopkeeper came to report in a hurry: "On the surface of Chaohu Lake, there are official boats transporting grain, and the grain on the wharf is piled up, and the official warehouse, the official warehouse, sells the grain at a flat price!" ”

The price of grain fell three times in a day, and when large quantities of grain arrived, Muhammad was devastated.

"It's over! Finished! Let Shen Wansan die. This old ghost must have known that the official family had a large amount of grain on the shore, and there was a time difference, and I was completely bankrupt! Muhammad was so desperate that he collapsed to the ground: "Man, go find me a rope, I can't afford to live!" ”

"Don't be like this, even if the grain is unsalable, we still have food and family property!" The shopkeeper comforted.

"No more! If I can't repay Shen Wansan's arrears within ten days, all my belongings in Luzhou will be Shen Wansan's, do we want to rot the grain on the street? Muhammad wanted to weep without tears.
