Chapter 284: Fuzhou Grain Merchant

The Jeju Ming gave the Jurchens an uppercut in Tieshan, and the Jin army was disgraced and suffered heavy losses, which was the heaviest loss for the Jurchens after Liaoshen, and Huang Taiji certainly attached great importance to it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He once ordered Li Yongfang and the Korean generals to investigate Daming and Korea, but he didn't get much news from the Jeju Ming people, but only found out from the Korean side that they turned east after occupying Jeju and clashed with the Japanese people, and had no intention of going north at all.

In Daming, there is no information about them, and the Ming Kingdom is now too busy to take care of itself, and of course there is no leisure to explore the situation on an island in the sea.

The matter is not over, since the Jeju Ming people have no intention of clashing with Daikin to the north, then Daikin is not willing to provoke such a strong enemy.

Today, Li Yongfang's words shocked Huang Taiji, and he was most afraid that the Jeju Ming people would collude with the Daming, which would have an unpredictable impact on Dajin.

"Tell me why you say that."

"When the slave heard about the battle of Zhuozhou, this Ming army sang a war song in front of the station, and felt familiar, and thought that there were also war songs when the Ming people of Jeju were explored as soon as possible, so the slave asked the Han soldiers present, but there were no Han soldiers present during the battle of Zhuozhou, only the Mongols who knew a little Chinese, so after comparing the two, they found that their war songs were similar, and their troops were all sharp firearms and neat military formations, so they 。。。。。。" Speaking of this, Li Yongfang bowed his head and listened to Huang Taiji's instructions.

Huang Taiji got up and paced back and forth on the ground, thinking about Li Yongfang's words, and after a long time, he turned to stare at Li Yongfang, "Li Yongfang, this king ordered you to send capable people to find out the connection between the Zhao family's father and son and the Jeju Ming people, what this king wants is as soon as possible." ”

Li Yongfang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Huang Taiji has never explained matters so solemnly. He hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, rest assured." The small ones will surely send out the best men. It will live up to the king's trust. ”

Huang Taiji waved his hand to let Li Yongfang retreat, this was the first time he felt frustrated after the spring breeze in recent days.

This year's harvest in Sanchatun is very good, and in Liaodong this year, except for some minor floods in the area of the Liaohe River and the Hunhe River because of the rain in June and July, the harvest in other places is good.

"Second brother, this year's family has finally breathed a sigh of relief, this year I went to the field to rent 100 acres of land and still have more than 40 stone rice grains, as well as more than 30 taels of silver brought back when I entered the customs. Life hasn't been any better. Fang Dongmen smiled and took a sip of wine. Of course, second brother, these are all the benefits you have brought to the family, and I am the eldest brother without the support of your younger brother, alas, I don't know where I am buried. ”

"Okay, big brother, we are all brothers, let's help each other, we can survive in Liaodong. It's okay not to help each other. Come, have a drink. Although Fang Ximen was flattered by his eldest brother, he was very proud. However, seeing that the eldest brother was about to go down the road again, he hurriedly interrupted.

"Second brother, the Zhang family has imported Ding for you again, do you want a boy or a girl." Fang Dongmen turned the topic to Fang Ximen's concubine Zhang.

"Alas, these days, I still have to be a man, big brother, let me tell you, don't look at my brother, I have two sons, and they will have to go out with the army in the future, and they have no eyes." Fang Ximen Road.

"Alas, your brother and I don't have that good life, and your sister-in-law is no longer moving." Fang Dongmen frowned and said.

"Shhh, I said big brother, you keep quiet, let my sister-in-law hear this, and I won't let you enter the house for three days." Fang Ximen was really helpless against this eldest brother who was bold as soon as he drank and was cleaned up by his sister-in-law as soon as the wine was gone.

Fang Dongmen shrunk his neck when he heard this, took a careful look, and found that the old ladies in the back room were still talking and laughing by themselves, so he put his mind at ease.

"Second brother, your life is much better this year, this year's harvest, although everyone has been taken away nearly sixty percent of the harvest, but more than 30 acres of land can also have more than ten stone of rice grain left, finally I can't be hungry, even in the Ming Dynasty, there is no such a good day, and your field tax is also much happier." Fang Dongmen Road.

"Yes, this year's Tuntian is completed, but the field tax will be collected more than 400,000 stones, our Liaodong rice and grain are expensive, these deserve nearly 400,000 taels of silver, Wang Shanglong Yan Dayue, Lord Shi Tingzhu was promoted to a first-class deputy general, as the deputy general of Wuzhen Chaoha, and he also cares about the location of this Tuntian." Fang Ximen said with a smile.

"Second brother, Lord Shi regards you as a subordinate of his lineage, Lord Shi is so important, your good days are ahead." Fang Dongmen smiled when he heard this.

"Big brother, look at it, the days of our old Fang family are getting more and more prosperous." Fang Ximen said proudly.

"Dad, is this wine delicious, give me some drink." Fang Ximen's eldest son, twelve-year-old Fang Zishan, came out of the inner room and said.

"It's delicious, you can take a drink and taste it." Fang Ximen said with a smile.

Fang Zishan looked at his father, thought about it, and felt that there was something wrong inside, but when he saw the intoxicated appearance of his father and uncle when they were drinking, he wanted to taste it very much, so he picked up Fang Ximen's wine glass and took a sip, "Poof," Fang Zishan squirted out all the wine in his mouth, and his little face wrinkled, "Daddy is deceiving, it's not delicious, it's too spicy." ”

Fang Ximen Fang Dongmen laughed, and the family enjoyed the joy of the harvest.

"Knock knock," there was a knock on the door outside, and the mother-in-law of the family went out to take a look, and came back to report that there was a way to ask to see her.

Fang Ximen didn't get up, Fang Dongmen got up and went to the front yard. I saw that there was a road, and the whole brother walked in carrying a sika deer.

"Brother Fang, the two of us went up the mountain today to shoot a deer to change the taste of Lord Niu Lu and Brother Fang." Lu You said with a smile. Lu Quan smirked and agreed.

"Okay, there is a road, I didn't expect you to have this hand, if I go, I won't even be able to touch a rabbit." Fang Dongmen said with a smile.

"Brother Fang, our brother relied on this craft to make a living earlier, Brother Fang, our brother took off the deerskin for adults, and he could make a boot to keep warm in winter." There is a way to go.

"I'm so embarrassed, let's let the people in the house come later." Fang Dongmen politely said.

"Brother Fang, you don't know, if you don't get one right, the whole skin will be ruined, or we will get it, soon." As he spoke, Lu Youren asked for a wooden basin with his subordinates, and hung the deer up and began to peel it.

There is nothing to say about the craftsmanship of their brothers, just a stick of incense, and it is about to be finished.

"Yo. It's the Lu brothers who are here. Fang Ximen walked in from behind with his hands in his hands. This movement is not small. He came out to see.

"Lu You, please say hello to Lord Niulu." Lu You hurriedly knelt down, and the road was full of imitation.

"Alright, get up." Fang Ximen is very useful, the general family is only given 30 acres of land for cultivation, Fang Ximen to Lu Youlu's family 85 acres of land, that is because Lu Youna is Fang Ximen's descendant, has always been obedient.

"No, the Lu brothers brought a deer. I also helped with the skinning so that I could make some boots or something. Fang Dongmen said.

"It's just for adults to try it out." Lu You said with a smile.

"Okay, I have a heart, I'll stay and drink a few sips later." Fang Ximen said with a smile.

"No need, there is a wild boar at home that will have to be dealt with in a while, I am afraid that the adults will dislike the wild boar and not bring it to the adults." Lu You hurriedly said, the adults may be polite to leave you, don't take it seriously.

"Okay, I'll go back and pick it up in a while, and I'll have a drink together when I'm done." Fang Ximen waved his hand magnificently.

"Holo." Lu Youyou replied happily.

Fang Ximen looked at the busy road on the side, "There is a road." When there is a suitable one, the lord will give your brother another daughter-in-law. The loneliness of the province is to blame the pitiful. ”

"Yo. Then I have to thank Master Fang, you see, my daughter-in-law is also told by you, and my brother has to trouble you about this, I will kowtow to you. Lu You hurriedly kowtowed to Fang Ximen. The road is full of examples.

"Okay, there's not so much etiquette, let's get busy." Fang Ximen Road.

Lu Youluquan hurriedly got up to finish it, and they quickly hung up the deerskin and broke down the venison into a large basin.

A brother had just walked on the road, and someone asked to see him.

"Yo, it turned out to be Mr. Liu, what's going on?" Fang Ximen came out and saw that it was Liu Xiaozhong, a grain merchant and grocer in Fuzhou City, and knew why he came.

"Liu is here to collect grain, Master Fang, we said earlier, Master Fang left me a few hundred stones of rice grain here, but Master Fang forgot." Liu Xiaozhong, who is in his early thirties, is medium and smiles when he speaks.

"Well, Mr. Liu has heard about it, this year we have a bumper harvest of hundreds of thousands of acres here, there is grain, and each family is not much, they can only take out a few stones of rice grain in exchange for silver, but it is a lot of it together, the key is how much silver Mr. Liu can produce." Of course, Fang Ximen will not push out the grain merchants who come to the door, and there are many ways for multiple grain merchants.

"Fang Ye, Liu doesn't say much, this piece is mainly planted with sorghum rice, when there was no harvest earlier, a stone of sorghum got nine cents of silver, and now the harvest has dropped slightly The price of grain has dropped slightly, other grain merchants are seven cents and five cents of silver, Liu and I are eight cents and five cents of silver, go back and sell nine cents of silver, Fang Ye, what do you think." Liu Xiaozhong said simply.

"Mr. Liu's price is indeed high, but Mr. can still make money by taking it back." This price is indeed what Mr. Liu said, the price he gave is absolutely fair, even too high, but this good thing fell on Fang Ximen's head, and he hesitated a little.

"Master Fang, let's put it this way, my main business is not food, but a specialty of Liaodong, but there is no food groceries to open a shop in Liaodong, and the guest officials are reluctant to come to the door, so these items have to be there, and there is nothing to make money, so it is best to get enough from one place, and save trouble, Fang Ye is to collect seven and a half dollars of silver, and then sell it to me for eight and a half dollars." Liu Xiaozhong saw Fang Ximen hesitating, so he simply said bluntly.

"I see, this, how embarrassing." Fang Ximen was overjoyed, but he still had to accept it. He thought about it, even if the few villages under his jurisdiction could make up four or five hundred stones, which was forty or fifty taels of silver, not to mention that with his face, he could get some from other Niulu.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Fang Ye helps one or two more in the mountain goods and leather merchants, won't there be one, haha." Liu Xiaozhong said with a smile.

"This is easy to say, Mr. Liu can rest assured, this little matter should be answered by the official. Come, it happened that the family caught game, Mr. Liu had a drink together, and everyone discussed it together. Fang Ximen smiled and let Liu Xiaozhong inside.

"It's disrespectful, it's a nuisance." Liu Xiaozhong was not too polite, there were still some details to discuss, he said in his heart, it was done, and there was another channel. (To be continued.) )
