Zhang Chu said with a smile: "We can't say who does things for whom, we should be a cooperative relationship, you have your advantages, I have my resources, and we make more money together." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I don't know where I can work with Dashuai." Since they can make money together, Yu Chunguang is of course willing to cooperate, and the purpose of his trip is this.

"There are many aspects we want to cooperate, I think Wang Jijie has already talked to you about it, all the things we need, you can purchase them and sell them to us, and the things we have can also be resold by you to other places." Zhang Chu has no restrictions on cooperation.

"Then thank you Dashuai." Yu Chunguang didn't expect to be able to talk about any specific matters with Zhang Chu, and met Zhang Chu, according to his observation, Zhang Chu was not a barbaric thief who only knew how to kill and rob. After determining the size of the risk he was taking in the transaction, Yu Chunguang was ready to leave.

"In fact, I, Boss Wang and you can have more in-depth cooperation." Zhang Chu's next words left Yu Chunguang behind.

"How else can we work together?" Yu Chunguang gave up his plan to say goodbye and wanted to hear what Zhang Chu had to say.

"Boss Yu has been doing business in Henan for many years, and the stores are all over the country, why don't you make the store in Kaifeng bigger?" Zhang Chu didn't say anything about cooperation, but asked about Yu Chunguang's store operation.

"Alas!" Yu Chunguang unconsciously sighed and said: "Kaifeng is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, connecting the north and the south, the business is developed, and the people who do business want to develop there, but if you want to become bigger, it is not easy to talk about, you need a huge amount of money, not to mention the local bureaucrats, bullies, and even the local merchants and gentry who sit on the ground are all things we can't afford to provoke." Back then, I also went to Kaifeng with confidence to develop, not to mention the loss of money, but also got into a lawsuit, and sent a lot of silver to Lord Yin to get out, so now only a small façade is left there, I don't want to go to Kaifeng to develop again in my life. ”

"If you don't have these troubles, how about doing business in Kaifeng?" Zhang Chu seemed to be very interested in Kaifeng.

"Without these troubles, Kaifeng is of course a good place to do business, Kaifeng alone has a local population of more than one million, and their food and clothing is a huge market, not to mention that it can send goods to all parts of the country. It's just that the matter of Kaifeng is not so easy to settle. In Kaifeng City, there are not only officials at all levels of court, but also the mansion and fief of Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, the vassal king, and we can't afford to provoke these people. "When it comes to these dignitaries, Yu Chunguang still has palpitations, for so many years he has not suffered less in this regard, and after struggling for half a life, his remaining business firm can only open small semicolons in various places, but it cannot grow in a certain place There are also reasons for this.

"You see me and Boss Wang cooperating with you, you two are responsible for business operations, and I am responsible for settling those troubles, what do you think?" Zhang Chu then asked.

"Will this work?" Yu Chunguang was still a little worried, which made the thieves handle the affairs of the government, and he really hadn't seen it.

"I'm not just dealing with these troubles, I'm going to use the corresponding amount of goods to get a stake, and I'm not going to let my money go down the drain." Zhang Chu saw Yu Chunguang's hesitation, so he directly explained that he was not taking benefits for nothing, and he would also invest in real cooperation with them.

"That's great, but what does the comptoir mainly do?" Yu Chunguang was a little relieved at this time, he Zhang Chu and a thief dared to throw silver into Kaifeng, he must have a certain certainty.

"We mainly deal in cloth and cotton yarn, and some wool textile products. Secretly, if you have the opportunity, you can also trade some weapons and armor with the official army. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, the buying and selling of weapons is actually the most profitable. Zhang Chu said these when he couldn't help but think of the generation of Ming general Zuo Liangyu in Henan now, this brother fighting the level of not to mention, in the preservation of strength to expand the team but really have a hand, he let the soldiers rob, kill the good and risky merit, all kinds of means are used, from the emperor to receive rewards and then expand their own team, in the Ming Dynasty is said to have an army of 800,000 people. 800,000 people, not well-equipped, if each person has a knife, it is not a small need. When can I get in touch with him, Zhongyang's weapons will have a good market.

"Okay, I'll go to Kaifeng, investigate the local situation, and choose a suitable place to open our business, I don't believe they will be squeezed out of Kaifeng this time." With Zhang Chu's support, Yu Chunguang found a new path to success, and he decided to take a risk, maybe his dream would be realized.

In the next few days, Zhang Chu dragged Wang Jijie and Yu Chunguang in the house to study the details of the opening of the business in Kaifeng in detail, of course, they inevitably quarreled loudly and glared angrily, and they almost fought each other. In the end, the three finally came up with a unified plan of action.

Yu Chunguang had to admire Zhang Chu's mind, there were many ideas that could be said to be deviant, but if you think about it carefully, they are indeed practical and feasible from Zhang Chu's head. If these ideas can be realized, then this trip to Kaifeng will be smoother.

After talking to Zhang Chu, Yu Chunguang did not fight to leave, but walked around the territory occupied by the security army, and looked everywhere. After that, he came to the conclusion that it is difficult to say whether this security army can win the world. However, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers to exterminate the security forces in a short period of time. Seeing that the safety of the transaction was guaranteed, Yu Chunguang took his men to leave Yuncheng, crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Kaifeng to investigate the situation.

After sending Yu Chunguang away, Zhang Chu became even busier. All the original salt merchants were abolished at once, and it took a lot of energy to establish a new business system. The salt trade was on the right track, and Zhang Chu recruited many people from among the hungry people to work in the salt lake, and the salt production in the salt lake did not decrease, but increased greatly. Zhang Chu improved the living conditions of the salt workers in a timely manner, which made the salt workers very happy and full of enthusiasm. The total output of salt has increased greatly, and Zhang Chu looked at the bags of snow-white salt, which are all white silver. If you have more money, you can buy more food, and more people will be saved in this famine.

The factory in Zhongyang has drawn a large number of workers, along with a series of water-powered spinning machines and looms, and Zhang Chu has selected several excellent factory sites on the tributaries of the Yellow River, and the embankments on the rivers and the factories on the banks are under construction. Soon the textile mill will be ready for operation. A large number of women from the disaster there will be able to work in the factories, and the number of people starving to death will be greatly reduced. Here is another step closer to Henan, the cost of shipping cotton is greatly reduced, and the cloth produced will be cheaper.

After arranging everything in Yuncheng, Zhang Chu decided to go to Kaifeng to take a look at the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, Li Zicheng attacked three times in the original history, and finally occupied the ancient city of Ming Dynasty where the defenders and civilians in the city were starving to death.
