Jubao firm, the black flag hanging in front of the building hunting, now the firm has changed another look, the building, the outside of the high wall, from a distance, I don't know that I thought it was an urn city, along the outside of the firm is the road that extends in all directions, there are a lot of buildings on the side of the road, and there are many shops opened, around the firm, radiating around.

Now there is a lot of people here, because the commercial bank is preparing to go to the goods for the first time, but this time the scale is really not small, the sea route has to wait until the spring of next year for the time being, one is waiting for the monsoon, on the other hand, the dock in Lianzhou is also rushing to make cargo ships, and now we can only go to North Korea, Guanwai and other places first. But even so, the scale of this time is unprecedented, it is said that the use of mules and horses, more than 10,000 people, in addition, there are thousands of guards, this huge team, the goods need great, silk alone needs tens of thousands of horses, as well as a variety of raw silk, tea, pottery are countless, the firm has posted a notice in the treasure building, a large number of purchases of the required goods, many merchants can not help but get excited, now the Ming Dynasty has one more shipping channel, which is a good thing for the merchants, Nowadays, almost all merchants are expanding their production on a large scale, but in order to ship goods to the trading houses, it is certain that they will set up a faΓ§ade on the side of the trading houses to display their goods, so the land near the trading houses is sold out at once, and craftsmen are everywhere building shops, residences, inns, and liquor stores.
Liu Chengfeng took the carriage to the side of the trading house, saw this lively scene, and couldn't help laughing, got off in front of the gate of the trading house, glanced at the trading house, and the guards at the door saw Liu Chengfeng, and hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Hello Hou Ye." β
Liu Chengfeng instructed them: "Go, ask a few people to bring down Ben Hou's salute, oh, yes, call Mr. Li, Chen Qianhu, Wang Si and a few instructors and instructors to the righteous hall to speak, by the way, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived?" β
The guard at the door said: "Your Highness will come late today, and the villain will go to call someone." β
Liu Chengfeng walked in, there were a lot of businessmen in and out of this trading house, and they were stunned when they saw Liu Chengfeng, but they didn't dare to come close to say hello, in their opinion, this Liu Chengfeng is an official, a Hou Ye, and he is just a lowly businessman, they don't have the courage to say hello.
However, Liu Chengfeng has a very heavy weight in the hearts of businessmen, and he may not have seen it before, but this time Liu Chengfeng's imprisonment showed it. At that time, Liu Chengfeng was taken to Shuntian Mansion, and the entire Jingshi market was instantly sluggish, and many rumors came out, saying that once Liu Chengfeng lost power, this treasure building was only afraid that it would be unlucky, so many merchants were startled, and those merchants who were crazy about buying goods also became cautious, not only did not hoard goods, but cleaned up a large number of inventory, and the price of goods plummeted for a while, and many merchants lost money.
If it weren't for Liu Chengfeng's sudden release from prison later, not only was he not guilty, but he also added an official position, which made the market suddenly warm up, Liu Chengfeng may not feel it, but in the eyes of businessmen, his every move, personal honor and disgrace have become a barometer of the entire market, and can even affect the prosperity and depression of the market.
Liu Chengfeng didn't think too much about it, and went straight to the righteous hall.
This righteous hall belongs to the side hall of the Jubao firm, the place is not big, only a radius of 20 zhang, some of the leading figures in the firm are also convenient to discuss things, the first to this righteous hall is Liu Peng, Liu Peng is the big shopkeeper of the Jubao firm, heard that Liu Chengfeng is coming, and hurriedly came from the clerical room on the side, and then the others came in twos and threes, and gave Liu Chengfeng a salute.
Qian Fang and a few leaders are the last to arrive, they are from the school side rushed over, this Qian Fang saw Liu Chengfeng, a little afraid in his heart, the last time Liu Chengfeng has not been counted with him, now what he is most afraid of is that Liu Chengfeng drove him out of the business bank, now he is training the student army, Qian Fang has gradually entered the state, and gradually has some clues, now it is to send him from the new hair to the border town to do guerrillas, I am afraid that he will not will, until now, even if Qian Fang is stupid, he knows how great the potential of this student army instructor will be, Now let him give up, he will never do it.
As soon as Qian Fang entered this righteous hall, he hurriedly fell to the ground and pleaded guilty to Liu Chengfeng: "Hou Ye, the last general should die, please punish Hou Ye." β
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Qian Fang with a solemn face, and said, "Are you guilty?" β
Qian Fang said: "I am guilty." β
Liu Chengfeng bowed his head and said: "Then you say it yourself, what crime have you committed." β
Qian Fang said: "The last general can't tell the difference between the imperial court and the student army, the border town is the border town, the student army is the student army, the border town has the rules of the border town, the student army has the rules of the student army, no matter what it looks like outside, what about the ordnance that the bureau has to feed the border town, but the supply of the student army has to follow the rules of the student army, the last general is guilty of dereliction of duty, and the ordnance sent by the bureau is not strictly checked, resulting in the school being almost killed because of the shoddy firecracker, the last general is an instructor, and he is ashamed, please punish the marquis!" β
Liu Chengfeng snorted coldly, his eyes swept over everyone, and said lightly: "Did you hear Qian Fang's words?" β
Everyone said together: "Master Hou, I heard it." β
Liu Chengfeng stroked the case and said: "It's good to hear it, Ben Hou repeats it again, what is like outside Ben Hou doesn't care, whether it is Jingwei, it is a border town, it is what the Wei everywhere does, Ben Hou doesn't care, Ben Hou only cares about you, whether it is a commercial house, it is a thousand households of Jubao Commercial Bank, it is a student army, since it is now under the jurisdiction of Ben Hou, you have to follow the rules of Ben Hou, if anyone violates this article, Ben Hou will not be spared." β
Liu Chengfeng closed his eyes, and then said: "This time Qian Fang committed such a big thing, originally according to the rules of Benhou, Qian Fang should be dismissed according to the crime and taken by Jinyiwei, but this time, Benhou is thinking about Qian Fang's first offense, and secondly, for the sake of the student army is about to play martial arts with the Tile Thorn people, the student army is the time to use people, so this time I will give you Qian Fang a chance to make meritorious contributions, if the student army wins this time, Ben Hou will not pursue it, if it is defeated......" Liu Chengfeng said coldly: "Then Ben Hou doesn't say anything, Roll where you come from. β
Speaking of this, he is really a little iron-faced and ruthless, saying that he is guilty of meritorious service, but if he loses, he has to get out, Qian Fang has been dismissed, and if he goes back to the border town, the military department will not recognize his official position.
Qian Fang's face was full of bitterness, kowtowed heavily, and said, "The last general will obey the order!" β
After Liu Chengfeng's treatment, everyone sitting in this righteous hall was solemn, in fact, Liu Chengfeng usually treats people quite well, and never puts a face on the people below, but today it is such a show, but everyone is frightened.
Liu Chengfeng immediately smiled and said, "Instructor Qian, sit down and talk." Then he said to everyone: "Since this is here, then Ben Hou Suo surname will be Ben Hou's surname said, usually, everyone is a brother, to say something ugly, everyone is a line of grasshoppers, if you have relatives and friends to take care of, Ben Hou can give you convenience, if you are a little tight in your hands, you can also go to Ben Hou here to spend some money, what difficulties have you encountered, Ben Hou went to the soup to solve problems for you, who was bullied, Ben Hou for you to seek justice. But there is one thing you have to remember, the reason why Benhou did this is because Benhou is your heart and friend. But the righteousness of friends encountered a violation of Ben Hou's rules on official business, Ben Hou will not be polite, Zhuge Liang did the thing of tears and horses, Ben Hou also did it, remember this sentence today, it is useful to you! β
Everyone hurriedly said, "Yes." β
Liu Chengfeng's tone calmed down again, and pressed his hand: "Okay, okay, I said so many ugly things to you today, I guess you also know in your hearts that this relationship is very powerful, so I won't talk about the other Benhou." Everyone knows that Ben Hou was ordered to fight against the Tile Thorn soldiers, and this time he was only allowed to win and not lose, so in the next few days, Ben Hou will stay in the school field and practice, and he can't take care of other things. So, there are some things that must be explained. β
"The first thing is the business of the goods, Liu Da shopkeeper, has the goods been decided?"
Liu Peng bowed and said: "Master Hou, the son is decided, the choice is Huang Daoji, at the end of the month of this month, when the caravan begins to set off and go directly out of the customs." The Tatars, the Vars, the Koreans, the Eri Shori, the Haixi Jurchens and other tribes have all sent people to negotiate in advance, and they have all allowed our caravans to enter the country for trade. β
Liu Chengfeng nodded, although the Tile Thorn and the Tatar people hated each other with the Ming Dynasty, but the Tile Thorn and Tatar materials were lacking, at this time there were caravans willing to go, they must have raised their hands to welcome, as for some small tribes outside the pass, there is no need to be afraid, the guards who protect the caravan along the way are enough to solve it, as long as it is not the other party's sweat tent to adopt a hostile attitude, it will not be a problem.
As for Joseon, Haixi Jurchen and Yili Jiangli, these are all relatively honest vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and they have always been very obedient, so they are not afraid of any problems.
Liu Chengfeng said: "The first time to go to the goods, must be well prepared, this time it is done, the future business can be smooth, when you come back, you can't be empty-handed, in addition to bringing back gold and silver, you can also buy some North Korean ginseng, Haixi Jurchen leather goods, tile thorns, Tatar cattle and sheep to bring back, go to a trip is money, come back a trip also have to make money, but land goods, the profit will not be outrageously high, the most important thing is to communicate with each other, really want to make a profit, but also rely on the sea, this matter, there is Lao Liu Da shopkeeper bothered." β
Liu Peng said: "Hou Ye, rest assured, the villain has been preparing for several months, and nothing will go wrong." β
