ps: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation

Chen Xin couldn't help but smile when he heard Mao Chenglu's words, this Mao Wenlong's righteous son is the deputy general of Guangludao, Guangludao is not far northeast of Jinzhou, and it is a larger island under the control of Dongjiang Town.

"What about the man he sent?"

Song Wenxian smiled, "I forgive you for a few days, but there is no disadvantage in eating and drinking." ”

Chen Xintou said: "Mr. Song has done a good job, so it is easy to talk about the conditions." However, I think what Mao Chenglu said may not be the truth, if my guess is right, he will send someone else to Dengzhou to visit Lu Zhi or Wang Ting, and may even hook up with Kong Youde and others. Whoever offers the highest price will follow whomever he wants. ”

"Your Excellency is wise, so your subordinates have hung him for a few days. Opposite Guanglu is the first line of Hongzui Fort and Fort Surrender, where the Jiannu have escaped, Fuzhou Jiannu is blocked by mountains and rivers, and the adults have left a naval division in Jinzhou, and there are ships to sentry near Guanglu every day, and it is not easy for Mao Chenglu to invest in Jiannu. But from Mao Chenglu's point of view, he has always regarded himself as the Zhengshuo of Dongjiang Town, and he will not go to Jiannu if he is not cornered. ”

Chen Xin stood up and walked around twice, this Mao Chenglu was originally unknown, and Chen Xin had only heard of this person after he arrived in Wendeng. Originally, in history, this Mao Chenglu has always been haunted by Mao Wenlong's death, and after Yuan Chonghuan's death, there was a Dongjiang guerrilla Zhou Wenhuang Shangshu who asked for mercy for Mao Wenlong, but this matter did not conform to the emperor's heart. Although he killed Yuan Chonghuan at this time, he was unwilling to slap himself in the face, and refused to give Mao Wenlong a pension on the grounds that Mao Wenlong's military salary was useless, and only agreed that Mao Wenlong's relatives welcomed back the bones, and finally buried them on the shore of the West Lake in Hangzhou.

Chongzhen took care of his face. Everyone in the Mao family felt faceless, and the resentment in their hearts accumulated even more. Faithfulness is gone. After Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng occupied Dengzhou, it was not for nothing that people gathered in response. Chen and Mao Chenglu sometimes ran to run in turmoil. Each sealed a general soldier, and Mao Chenglu's station was in the school field on the east side of Shuicheng, and finally he had to go to sea and was captured by Huanglong, and was executed by Ling Chi together with Chen Guangfu and others.

Chen Xin didn't have Chongzhen's concerns, Dongjiang Town was a force that had to be fought for, even if Dongjiang Town was vulnerable now, it would be better than Huang Taiji taking it. He said to Song Wenxian: "How does Mr. Song plan to treat this person?" ”

Song Wenxian used to be an old slippery head, and after following Chen Xin for a few years, the level of participation became higher and higher. The ability to calculate is also rising day by day. He already had a plan in his heart, and said to Chen Xin without hesitation: "This person is the head of Mao Wenlong's adopted son, after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, he divided Dongjiang into four associations, and he led one association alone, and his reputation in Dongjiang is far from comparable to Kong Youde's others." Right now, we have just cleaned up a group of Dongjiang generals, and Mao Chenglu came to test it at this time, because he was afraid that we would deal with him, so he didn't dare to come. For this person, you need to fight, and the conditions can be better. One is their ginseng mink fur, which makes the trading company bid more; Second, if they have enough food to eat, they will sell them some of the grain spine. ”

"Mr. Song is clever. Stabilize Mao Chenglu first, as long as he doesn't vote for Jiannu. In the future, after we complete the expansion of the army, the power of Jiannu in this part of southern Liaoning will subside even more. Kong Youde and others have no capital to win him over. The affairs of the trading company will be arranged for them. ”

Song Wenxian said in a low voice: "My subordinates also have a thought, and they can receive the favor of everyone in Bo Dongjiang without spending money." ”

"Oh. Please Mr. Song don't hesitate to mention. ”

"Your Excellency, Wen Long died on the twin islands outside Lushun. At present, it is also in my jurisdiction, we can build a mound for Mao Shuai on the top of the mountain where Wenlong was killed on the island, offer incense, and invite Mao Shuai's family to come here every year to worship. ”

Chen Xin smiled, Song Wenxian's head is indeed flexible, and Chen Xin has received materialist education since he was a child, and he has never paid much attention to the aftermath of his thoughts, and he does not understand the persistence of the ancients in this matter, so he did not consider similar methods, and praised at this time: "Mr. Song is a good method, a well-dressed mound is nothing, Mao Wenlong's matter is quite delicate in the court, although Yuan Chonghuan was convicted of killing the frontier, but he did not say that Mao Wenlong was innocent, and he knew that the emperor could not wipe his face and admit his mistake, and the emperor did not want to mention this matter again." ”

Song Wenxian said calmly: "My lord praises it, so this matter is beneficial and harmless." ”

"Mr. Song, this is a clever plan, with this reason, people in Dongjiang have an excuse to travel to and from Lushun, and Mr. Song is also easier to do, so you can publicize it more everywhere."

"But there is no need to deliberately promote, Lushun is a military important place in our town, it is inconvenient to receive merchant ships, Shuangdao can shelter from the wind and waves, there are often merchant ships there, we can set up a wharf on Shuangdao to supply fresh water for merchant ships, many of these merchants will go to the Dongjiang River, better than let's go." Chen Xintou said: "Then you will go and do this, Mao Wenlong has been fighting horses all his life, and he dares to go to sea with 200 people to counterattack, and hundreds of thousands of Liao people are alive.

Song Wenxian agreed, picked up the tea and was about to drink it, when he suddenly heard Chen Xinyi clapping his hands, Song Wenxian was startled, the tea was spilled on his beard, he hurriedly put down the teacup and asked, "What trick did you think of again, my lord?" ”

Chen Xin raised his hand to tell him not to speak, his eyes rolled wildly and stared at Song Wenxian for a while: "After you mentioned the merchant ship, this official just remembered that the merchants in Dengzhou were seriously injured this year, and there must be some vacancies in the private trade of Liaodong. Why don't we take this opportunity to monopolize the Liaohai trade. ”

Song Wenxian was stunned and said: "How to monopolize the law?" ”

Chen Xin smiled, "Liaodong private trade can only be done by Dengzhou and Wendeng Trading Company, Dengzhou Water Camp is now managed by Lu Zhi, first negotiate with him to share, and give a share to Wang Ting, we can monopolize it." Other merchants can do it, pay taxes for passing flags, sell silk, cloth, tobacco, etc., but grain nitrate cannot. In this way, everyone can not only make money, but also not give Jiannu actual help, if someone wants to smuggle ...... privately" Chen Xin lightly slashed in the air with his hand.

Song Wenxian shook his head and said: "Wang Ting's test must have a lot for them, it's not as good as now, the reputation of the trading company is higher than theirs, and sooner or later it will be able to occupy a larger share." ”

"Even if the trading company can take all the shares, they will still give them a share in the end. Besides, in addition to making money, there are more benefits, let's designate a place to trade. There are two conditions for ordinary merchants to smuggle goods, one is to pay taxes and get the flag. The second is that it is necessary to use the four seas money to exchange money. ”

Song Wenxian thought about it carefully, but still hesitated: "Only use money to exchange money." It doesn't seem to be very profitable. ”

"Mr. Song will know about the benefits in the future, and when they get used to the money village, they will know the convenience of the money village, and when those islands will be inseparable from the money village, they will control the Dongjiang River, and it will be enough to use the money village." ……

"Qianzhuang will be extended to Yingtian and Hushu Pass this year, and the ticket business will be done. This year, I also have high requirements for trading companies, and the sales of cigarettes should be doubled, and the number of southern products should be increased by at least 50%. Some of the local products bought back in Liaodong should be sold by the trading companies themselves in order to strive for greater profits. ”

In the camp of Wollongong, Dengzhou, Liu Minyou personally held a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou "Late Ming Chapter 19 Tianpi" Laifu who had just rushed back to Dengzhou, this tailor in the seventh year of the Apocalypse is now the head of the Four Seas Trading Company, and there are more than 300 people under him, all over the canal and all over Dengzhou. However, he, the general manager, is currently only in charge of the canal business, and the branches of Dengzhou and Liaohai are managed by Liu Minyou himself.

Zhou Laifu stood up and took the teacup, unable to hide the joy on his face. "Mr. Liu, you have nothing to do, when Kong Youde rebelled last year, his subordinates were in Linqing, and messages were everywhere. Everything. Zhou Laifu lowered his head and sighed, "Those people blew Li Jiucheng into the reincarnation of a demon, I said that if they were the reincarnation of a demon." Lord Chen is a martial arts star, plus Mr. Liu, a literary music star. Cleaned up this demon as well. ”

"It was all fought by General Chen." Liu Minyou smiled and shook his hand, "I'm just helping to prepare some baggage." The most important thing is that those soldiers are powerful, and if you don't have to work hard to earn money, these soldiers don't have such strong combat power. ”

Zhou Laifu said respectfully, "The two adults do not dislike the villain's humble background, but entrust them with important responsibilities. ”

Liu Minyou said with a smile: "After years of training, receiving people and treating things is really different from the past. ”

At this time, a maid brought a few plates of hearts, and Liu Minyou asked her to put them on the coffee table next to Zhou Laifu. Zhou Laifu has been in the dust all the way, and he is indeed a little hungry, he has worked with Liu Min for several years, and he is familiar with the temperament of this Shangguan, and he is not polite at the moment, and he talks with Liu Min while eating.

Liu Min pointed to the departing maid, "There are a group of women here in Dengzhou, who were robbed by Kong Youde and them, many of them are young ladies and maids from rich families or official families, who can read and settle accounts, and now some are placed in tobacco factories and stores, and others are still idle, and Laifu wants to help use some." ”

Zhou Laifu immediately agreed: "If you can read and count, the trading company would like to have more, but the specific amount depends on how far Mr. intends to open the trading company." ”

"This year will definitely open to the state level in Shandong, the main focus is still tobacco and southern goods, Zuo Changhao wrote a few days ago, saying that he will come to Dengzhou in April, and then I will talk with him in detail, and strive to double the number of southern goods, and then you will participate together."

"Yes, then I'll stay until April, the business on the other side of the canal ......"

Liu Minyou was surprised: "The letter I gave you asked you to arrange up for the "Evening Ming", just because it may take a long time. ”

Now the business is getting better and better, the canal has just opened, and those who come to buy tobacco are crowded with the shop, and those who can't get the goods for a while are looking for inns to stay. The subordinates were really happy when they looked at it. ”

Liu Minyou said with a smile, "The tobacco business used to be so good, and there is a kind of cigarette with a filter this year, and the business will be even better by then." ”

Zhou Laifu's face was solemn, and he whispered to Liu Minyou: "My lord, there are also some cigarette workshops in Linqing, Yangzhou and other places, all of which are made by private individuals, and the things they make have less taste. However, when we were short of supply, they openly came to our store to solicit customers, and the price was one penny lower than ours, and it has clashed with our store many times. According to the subordinates' private inquiries, their costs are actually higher than ours, but they have reduced their profits and are now selling to the surrounding villages. ”

"It's to be expected." Liu Min has long been psychologically prepared for the folk cottages, but Wendeng's cigarettes have assembly lines and manual cigarette machines, and the efficiency is much higher than those workshops, and the cost will be lower than theirs.

Liu Minyou thought about it and said, "Don't pay attention to them first, when they invest more money, let's have a big price reduction, so that they will lose all their money, and no one will do it again in the future." ”

Zhou Laifu hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Among them, there is one of the most arrogant, which was opened by several gentlemen from Linqing Prefecture, as well as the Zhizhou and the judges. Before leaving this year, they had made it possible for the tooth shop to attract customers to their tobacco shop. Last year, we also beat Nazhizhou through Guò Zhou Hongmo, and he didn't feel sorry for us, so he came to this hand this year. Only some old merchants from last year came to Linqing store, and they were also troubled by those tooth shops. ”

"What." Liu Min stood up with a sigh, he listened to Ding Ding in Yangzhou about the tooth shop, the canal tooth shop's ability is extraordinary, just like the search engine of the Internet in later generations, without the tooth shop, the traffic of Wendeng Tobacco Store will plummet.

Zhou Laifu saw that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly persuaded: "Didn't the adults just say that they can be cleaned up by lowering the price just now......"

"That's only useful for ordinary businesses, but it's different if it's a local official, they control the tooth business, and it's useless for us to reduce the price."

After walking two laps, he stopped and said to Zhou Laifu, "I will discuss the amount of "entertainment show" with Lord Chen about this matter, how can I let them mess around like this." ”

But he couldn't think of any way for a while, the profits and sales of cigarettes were very large, and the threshold was not high. It was only a matter of time before he would be targeted by those merchants, but he didn't expect to have officials involved so soon. Linqing belongs to the Shandong Buzheng Division, Wendeng's connections there are very ordinary, he used to just rely on a Zhou Hongmo, but now he has a big profit, this relationship is not enough, and it can only depend on how Chen Xin or Song Wenxian handles it.

He used to think about expanding the online store of the trading company and obtaining more terminal profits, but now it seems that these officials and gentry from all over the country are really the biggest obstacles, and no matter how low their costs are, no matter how good the goods are, they may not be able to compete with them. Maybe it's better to just do wholesale.

Liu Min thought about it and didn't have a result, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being, took out a booklet from the table, and then smiled at Zhou Laifu, "This year, Wendeng's trading company will also be reorganized, and it will be divided into several large business districts, I want you to take charge of it, I have a plan here, you can take it back in the next few days and take a look at it first, and put forward your opinions." ”

Zhou Laifu had to be promoted again, and he couldn't help but be happy again, so he quickly took it over, and took a rough look, there were many squares drawn on it, connected by lines, and some department names were written in it.

Liu Minyou thought that he had been away from Wendeng for more than a year and needed to take a rest, so he smiled at Zhou Laifu and said: "Laifu, you rarely come back once, go back to Wendeng to accompany your sister-in-law and children first, and then notify you to come to the meeting when Master Chen comes back." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Zhou Laifu was about to say goodbye after speaking, Liu Minyou insisted on sending him out, and as soon as he arrived outside the door, he met Mo Huaiwen in a hurry, Mo Huaiwen looked at Zhou Laifu slightly, and couldn't wait to come to Liu Minyou's ear and whispered: "Our tunhu fought in Anxiangbao and Dengzhou, and three lives were lost." ”

"What! Why the fight? ”

"It's a matter of harvesting the fields."

Liu Min said urgently, "Aren't we the title deed again?" ”

"Those households are desperate not to let us occupy it, and there are two groups of people who make the most trouble, one group is to take refuge in the name of a famous person to evade taxes, but in fact, they are still farming and living on the land. The other group is the person who holds the field skin, they say that our land deed only has the field bones, and whoever will plough the land has the final say. ”

"What the fuck is." Liu Min frowned in annoyance. (To be continued.) )
