Chapter 205 Going to Sea Fifteen
Subsequently, Wen Desheng took Zhang Mu to the backyard.
In a spacious courtyard in the backyard, a group of slaves are packing porcelain boxes.
Zhang Mu found that for each layer of porcelain, they would sprinkle a layer of soybeans, and then after the box was sealed, they began to pour water inside.
Zhang Mu asked curiously, "Brother Wen, what are you doing with the beans in it?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Yan hasn't walked through the sea, and he doesn't know yet. The sea is rough and rough, and even the brigs are very bumpy. These porcelains are fragile objects. Whether it is wrapped in paper or padded cotton, it is easy to break. However, after sprinkling soybeans and watering them, these soybeans will sprout and become sprouts after a few days. The sprouts will wrap the porcelain firmly, so that they are not afraid of the wind and waves at sea. Wen Desheng smiled.
Zhang Mu was stunned when he listened, and sincerely admired the great wisdom of the working people, in such an environment, since he could think of such a packaging method, it was really powerful.
"Where did all this porcelain come from?" Zhang Mu asked.
"All over the country, there are there, and I will order them to collect them. Later, he simply opened a few kilns here and burned some himself. Porcelain and silk were the favorites of the Japanese Kou. It's always in short supply. Because of the high cost of shipping, the price is also a bit higher than other things. I've got 10,000 pieces of porcelain for you. About a thousand boxes. It's boxing here, and you can check it out. Wen Desheng said.
Zhang Mu went around, these porcelain, some exquisite, some rough, but Wen Desheng intended to let the profits come out, so he was naturally very well prepared.
Later, Wen Desheng took Zhang Mu to another courtyard, which was full of small gadgets, such as spices, seasonings, wine, and vinegar. Green salt, animal skins, and medicinal herbs are all there.
Zhang Mu found out that the current seafood is really readily available, with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"In previous years, these things were rarely sent out, and they were not worth much after all. Over the years, I have heard that the Japanese kingdom is at war, and everything is scarce. These things can also be bought for money. Anyway, what they have is silver. As for the South China Sea, you can also exchange it for high-quality jade agate coral. When King Tan celebrated his birthday, I paid him a piece of Burmese Jade Buddha, which had more than 6,000 catties. King Tan likes it very much. Wen Desheng smiled.
Zhang Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, if he took the sea goods like this, this would no longer be a book of profits, but a cramp in his hand to count the money.
Wen Desheng continued: "The previous one plus the thousands of scraps and bits of goods here, a total of 40,000. When you get to the Wako, you can exchange it for at least seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver. I believe that Grandpa Guo should also be very satisfied. Don't forget to be in front of Grandpa Guo when the time comes. Say a few nice words for me. ”
"It's a certainty, draft that can forget the well digger? To tell the truth, this time Grandpa Guo sent it out, in fact, he just had the mentality of giving it a try. And it was done. After solving the urgent need of Grandpa Guo, how could Grandpa Guo forget your Wen family? Zhang Mu said with a smile.
When Wen Desheng heard this, he lowered his voice and said, "In addition, I will give you three thousand pieces of silk for nothing." You can exchange it for at least 10,000 taels of silver. When the money is in hand, I will exchange it for treasure money for you at the market price. This one is my brother. A gift for your brother. ”
Zhang Mu was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Consistent treasure banknotes for one tael of silver, 10,000 taels of silver is equal to 10,000 treasure banknotes.
What is the concept of 10,000 treasure banknotes?
In Yongkang, Wanguan's family wealth is rich on the first side, and he is an absolute landlord.
The Wen family is really outrageous in their generosity.
No wonder they can even handle the local guards, just ask, who wouldn't want such a large fortune to fall to the sky? Is silver hot?
Looking at the speed of the Wen family's development in recent years, you can get a glimpse.
Then, the number of officers and soldiers of Panshiwei who are corrupt is probably an astronomical number.
And the officials in the yamen of the command of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I am afraid that they will also make a lot of money one by one.
The Wen family has been working for so many years without an accident, so Wenzhou's parents don't know at all?
They knew, but they didn't care, and they didn't even play, so these parents and officials in Wenzhou didn't have a clean ass.
Corruption is like rotting things.
At first, it was just a wound, but as the bacteria slowly spread, they began to fester.
From the inside out, from top to bottom, layer upon layer of corruption, no one is spared.
Therefore, when the officials of a county start to be corrupt, then the state capital will not be clean, and when it comes to the provincial capital, it will not be clean.
That's why there is that common people often say - the world is as black as a crow.
The simplest truth is that once corruption becomes an unspoken rule, no one is immune to it.
Zhang Mu had been in the officialdom for many years in his previous life, and he was most familiar with this truth.
If you are not corrupt, then the corrupt leader at the higher level will not dare to use you, because he is afraid that you will turn against him one day.
Corruption is like a petition.
In such a game, you don't play with others, and others don't play with you.
The end is either you fuck off, or you die, and let someone who is willing to abide by the rules of the game come up and play.
Anyway, there are people in charge of this office.
Throughout China's vast and brilliant history, there are very few officials with clean sleeves, but corrupt officials have emerged in an endless stream in all dynasties, especially when a dynasty has gone from the peak to the decline, these corrupt officials have stood on the stage of history again and again, burying the fate of this dynasty.
"Brother Yan is not satisfied?" Wen Desheng asked.
Zhang Mu hurriedly shook his head and said, "What Brother Wen said there, this kind of friendship, I really don't dare to comprehend it." I know my brother's kindness, but the money, forget it. ”
Wen Desheng smiled: "What did Brother Yan say? This money is a piece of my Wen family's heart. Taking seafood, my Wen family can be said to be a big family here, but the northern business has not yet been walked. In the future, everything must be strictly guided. You must accept this hard-earned money, otherwise I won't be able to go back and pay the errand? ”
Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll make an exception." Thank you, Brother Wen. ”
Wen Desheng saw Zhang Mu accept it, and a stone in his heart also fell to the ground, and he smiled at the moment: "There and there, it's all your own people, what's polite?" ”
At first, he thought that Zhang Mu was not easy to deal with, but after receiving the money, it was another matter.
Originally, I was worried that 10,000 yuan would not be enough, but now looking at Zhang Mu's appearance, Wen Desheng couldn't help but think in his heart: "I thought it was a big skill, and it would be done with just 10,000 taels of silver." It seems that Nanjing is really not easy to mix. Last year, Lao Tzu went to Hangzhou to see Wang Ming and gave him 100,000 taels, without blinking a fucking eye. Hey, it's better to be an official, and you can make money with your mouth. (To be continued......)
