Chapter 284: A Smart Man

Zizizi, the red-hot chain mail was soaked in boiling oil, and when the pliers were scooped up, it was a dark and shiny finished product, hanging on the pole to dry the oil droplets, and the big yard was full of poles full of chain mail, and the air was filled with a strange smell. It's a non-tech-savvy way of dealing with it, and it's bluish.

Compared to Chen Xie's appearance of pinching his nose and frowning, a man standing at the gate of the courtyard didn't care about the smell at all, and stretched his neck to look hard, but he could only see that the poles in the courtyard were full of chain mail, and the smell kept getting into his nose. This taste, for this man from the northwest, is more attractive than alcohol.

When Chen Xie came out, the man lowered his head slightly and stood there respectfully.

"Merchants from the northwest are doing business in the Chahar grassland? Why did you get to Dengzhou? As soon as Chen Xie spoke, the man scolded shamelessly in his heart. There are a lot of forbidden things in the goods you gave to the Fan family, right? What's missing on the grasslands? Everyone understands in their hearts that one is salt and the other is iron. The steel knives that the Fan family exchanged from Dengzhou with war horses over the years have not 10,000 but 8,000. The trading of Shanxi Iron and Steel has made Dengzhou's goods run on the grassland without a way to survive. Do you think I can't come?

"The Fan family can exchange war horses for Dengzhou goods, and the Chang family can do it. often comes here, just to ask adults to give a way to live. Poof, Chang Cheng knelt down. This is not strict at all, the most lucrative business on the grassland is salt and iron, followed by tea cloth. Fan Yongdou's goods purchased from Dengzhou over the years are mainly steel knives and cloth produced in Dengzhou, which are compared with those produced in Daming. There are too many good quality, and the price is the same. You say, who will those turtles on the grassland do business with?

Chen Xie raised his finger and pointed to the chain mail in the big courtyard and said, "I don't care what your path is, I want war horses, gold and silver." The price is also very fair, a three-year-old horse for four pairs of chain mail, you have to take some old horses to fool me, Dengzhou is on the seaside, and the fish in the sea eat a lot of human flesh every year. ”

The swaggering Chen Xie is gone. got into his own luxury carriage. It's like this person hasn't seen it. There is a smell of flower dew water in the carriage, jasmine fragrance. Sitting opposite sat a smiling Ying Niang, holding the iced sour plum soup in both hands and handing it over: "Master, these people are trading with Tartars." ”

Chen Xie smiled and said, "The master only recognizes silver." It doesn't matter how he got his money. "Sounds very irresponsible. The problem is that Chen Xie won't sue her. Not to mention chain mail, plate armor has made the musket fight out of the stage of history. If you don't want to save money, you can earn more money. Who's going to toss this thing.

Master Chen's shameless face is what Ying Niang wants to see the most. A man who can put his face down for the silver is a good man.

"These businessmen from the northwest are not small, and they dare to do any business. It doesn't matter if he's a thief or a tartar, as long as he has silver. Chen Xie's words, Ying Niang immediately sat up straight when she heard this, and asked, "What does the master have to explain?" ”

"No matter who you are, you are welcome to buy and sell in Dengzhou, but the rules on Dengzhou's side are that you only recognize one thing, and that is silver yuan. Even the best war horses must be converted into silver dollars first. ”

Ying Niang is a ruthless person, and she is not ruthless in how to do the bustard's business. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "The slave family understands, if anyone breaks this rule in the future, the slave family will definitely let people chop him up and feed the dog." ”

Master Chen raised his hand, and the woman leaned over her chest, so that the old man could touch it with a flattering smile on her face. Master Chen, the evil capitalist, said with a smile while cooling: "With your help, I have saved a lot of effort." Master work hard, and make your belly bigger as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Wang Qinian returned to Dengzhou, he dragged his daughter-in-law all the way from the dock with his ears and got him to kneel at the door of Gu Xi's villa. The couple knelt in a row, and no one could pull them up. This kneeling is more than an hour.

When Chen Xie saw this scene from the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh that Wang Qinian had married a good daughter-in-law. Otherwise, he would have had his head cut off eight hundred years earlier. The car door slowly opened, Chen Xie didn't look at the couple, and went to the house first. Gu Xi and Zheng Tuoniang were soft-hearted and stood at the door, pulling Chen Xie's sleeves one by one to prevent them from entering.

Chen Xie sighed at this time, stretched out his hand to pat Gu Xi's face, patted Zheng Toniang's shoulder, turned back to Wang Qinian, and said, "Don't let Lao Tzu come in, isn't it fun to kneel there and pretend to be a stone lion?" The two girls laughed like flowers, and Chen Xie said in a low voice: "Go back and clean you up." This is not a good word, Zheng Tuoniang blushed and lowered her head, but Gu Xi didn't care about her chest, undulating.

Wang Qinian followed in, stood and bowed his head without speaking, and his daughter-in-law Xie Chunling stepped on his foot fiercely, and then raised his head and said: "Master, little fool, you shouldn't listen to Sun Yuanhua's bewitchment and go to fight Jinxian." ”

Chen Xie sighed, looked at him and said, "You kid has no other skills, you are very lucky." Forget it, there are some things that you don't understand. Go back and rest for a few days, then go back and be your overseer. ”

When the couple came out, Xie Chunling whispered as she walked: "I don't know what good things you did in your last life to accumulate virtue and become such a kind master." Otherwise, if the head is not cut off, you will not be able to continue to lead the troops. If you don't understand this truth, you should obediently tell the master, and in the future, you will be an instructor in the Jiading teaching team. You dare to take it seriously! Walking all the way, scolding all the way, the two disappeared from sight.

Chen Xie sat on the soft sofa and rubbed his eyebrows. The technical difficulty of the spring is not great, but the difficulty is the quality of the steel. Dengzhou Furniture Factory in exchange for more than 5,000 acres of dry land, is definitely a loss-making business. But Chen Xie did just that, and there were not more capitalists in the Ming Dynasty, but less. I wish all these rich people were running workshops and factories.

The two women stood obediently next to each other, bowing their heads and not speaking. Fools know that it has ruined Chen Xie's good deeds.

"Okay, even if you don't stop me, I'll make the couple kneel for a few more moments at most. Wang Qinian's daughter-in-law is too smart. Knowing that she is with me, I won't be too ruthless. Chen Xie stood up, hugged the two women who seemed to have no bones, looked at the city outside the door that had been changed a lot by himself, and said lightly: "This world is full of jackals, if you don't want to die too early, you have to turn yourself into a jackal." ”

The most unreliable thing in the world is the emperor's trust, and Chen Xie has never pinned his hopes on Chongzhen's trust. At any time, strength is the most reliable. The Dengzhou battalion was built by him, and it didn't cost the court a penny, and the officers under him have been brainwashed for a long time, and there is no court in their eyes.

Chang Cheng stood at the door of the guest room, with a smile on his face, and sent away to the shopkeeper Yin who came to deliver the message. How many shopkeepers there are in modern times of the joint firm are not calculated by number, but by region. The shopkeeper Yin is responsible for the trading of a province in Shanxi, and often becomes the things that he wants, as long as the silver is in place, pay some boat fare, and the firm is responsible for sending it to Tongzhou. The rest is up to you.

Chang Cheng knew that he had done the right thing, so he went to Jingshi before coming, and exchanged the silver for a bill of exchange, and then it would be easy to come to Dengzhou. 150,000 taels of silver is all his family funds, and the coffin is all in it. Dengzhou is the right place, the tea from Fujian, the cotton cloth and silk from Songjiang Prefecture, the locally produced salt, as for the iron, what do you want to do with that thing. 500 steel knives, 500 chain mail, loaded with two carts of grain, and took the customs defense opened by the yamen of the governor of Dengzhou. Can't go back? That's my own damn deserved, people have traveled all the way to this. Holding the bill of exchange in his hand, Chang Cheng suddenly had a thought, and his body trembled randomly and irrepressibly.

Hurriedly leaving the hotel, Chang Cheng came to the other courtyard, and was stopped by a man in black from a distance. handed over a silver dollar, let people knock it off, and said viciously: "Get out, this place is not where you should have come." ”

Chang Cheng silently picked up the silver yuan, stood on the side of the road, hooked his waist, and waited patiently. A black carriage appeared in sight, and the Flying Eagle Banner could see clearly. Chang Cheng stood in the middle of the road without hesitation, and knelt on the road with a puff.

The sound of Tatata's horses' hooves slowly approached, Chang Cheng didn't dare to raise his head, kowtowed and said loudly: "The little one is willing to be a slave to Master Chen, and begged Master Chen to reward him with a bite to eat." Just like that, I kept saying it over and over again, putting my face in my crotch and not caring about anything. If this opportunity is missed, Chang Cheng can regret it for the rest of his life.

Feeling that the footsteps were approaching, Chang Cheng's voice shouted a little higher. finally heard the voice like a heavenly sound: "Anyway, there are some successful businessmen with a net worth, do you want to be embarrassed to do this?" Chang Cheng didn't dare to look up, and continued: "In front of the master, I can't care about my own face. The little one can only guarantee that he will do things for the lord in the future, and he will never dare to lose the face of the lord. ”

"Han Shan, bring him over later, it's true, there are so many things, you can't stop for a moment." After Chen Xie finished speaking, he got into the carriage and turned around and went back. Ying Niang, who heard the movement, immediately stood at the door and waited: "Didn't you say that you saw Governor Sun, why did you come back again?" ”

Chen Xie smiled: "I met an interesting person on the road and came back." I want to hear what he has to say. Hopefully he's a smart guy. ”

After sitting down for a while, Chang Cheng followed Han Shan in, and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Chen Xie: "Okay, let's stand." If you want to say anything, hurry up, the governor is waiting for me to discuss important matters. As soon as I went out, I didn't have you to stir it up. ”

Hearing this, Chang Cheng was overwhelmed by the great joy of his blood and blood, and after trying to restrain himself, he calmed down and said: "The little one begs you to give me a chance to let the little one be the shopkeeper of the Taiyuan branch of Dafa Qianzhuang." The small ones are willing to take out all their family funds and only ask for half of the shares. ”

Chen Xie laughed when he heard this, stood up and looked at the guy in front of him who was talking with his head down. Sure enough, he was a smart man, and there were a lot of merchants from Shanxi, some buying salt, some buying grain, and some buying ironware, cloth and tea. proposed to be the shopkeeper for himself, this is the first one.
