Chapter 239: Catching a Big Fish
Jiang Long captured the wild horse, naturally to sell.
He wanted to do a lot of things, and he couldn't do it without enough money on hand.
Digging the river, you need to set the carriage, Jianglong should have left some horses, but the wild horse is not better than the domesticated domestic horse, the temperament is very irritable, without a period of domestication, not to mention the honest cart, help people do things.
To domesticate wild horses, you have to find an experienced horse trainer, otherwise the wild nature of the horses is difficult to train, biting, neighing at night, kicking the stake fence, will make a lot of noise, and unwilling to live in a narrow stable, wild horses used to be free and accustomed to the prairie.
There is a few percent chance that you will end up depressed.
The premature mortality rate is still quite high.
Therefore, Jiang Long plans to sell it directly, which is more convenient.
As for the future use of horses, I will spend more money to buy some back.
Since he wanted to sell horses, and there were quite a few of them, Jiang Long's first thought was naturally the black-clothed guard.
In northern Xinjiang, a horse can only be sold for about 20 taels, but after it is pulled to the capital, the price can be doubled.
Therefore, Jiang Long does not plan to sell it himself in this place in Northern Xinjiang, the black guards have their own forces, and smuggling salt and horses is their normal business, and Jiang Long does not have to worry that the black guards will not pay the money, and he is not afraid that they dare to push the price too low.
Business, it is better to be raw than cooked.
What's more, no matter what, the black-clothed guard is also his own, Jiang Long can make a profit, and the black-clothed guard may make another profit if he pulls the horse outside and then makes a move.
Horses are in Daqi, which is a scarce and rare commodity, but there are too many of them, and it is not good to shoot them at one time.
But this is not a problem for the black guard, who has too many sales.
I'm not afraid of too many horses, but I'm worried that I won't be able to receive them!
"I don't know how many wild horses there are in the hands of the little master?" The black-clothed guard's eyes lit up.
"A thousand horses."
The black-clothed guard immediately said: "That little one is all here, in Northern Xinjiang, the price of a horse is about twenty taels, and the little master should know it."
When you pull it outside, you can sell it for forty or fifty taels of silver.
However, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport the horses out, and it is against the laws of Daqi to sell horses privately, and the wild must be tamed before they can be used.
In this way, the small one is given a bid of thirty taels, how about it? ”
"Good!" Although listening to the tone of the black-clothed guard, the price could be negotiated again, but Jiang Long did not bargain.
Directly under the order.
A thousand wild horses, 30,000 taels of silver, Jiang Long is already very satisfied.
And there is also a herd of about two thousand wild horses, which has been discovered.
When he was caught, he would receive another 60,000 taels of silver.
Jiang Long was very happy.
The black-clothed guard reached into his arms and took out two letters and handed them to Jiang Long.
One of them was a letter from home.
Every once in a while, Jiang Long would write a letter back to greet Mrs. Jing, and would write a separate letter to Lin Ya.
It's the same with Jingfu, Mrs. Jing and Lin Ya will also write a letter to the black-clothed guard to send it over.
The other one was sent by Mrs. Diexiang at the request of Mrs. Jingfu.
Jiang Long read the family letter first, and there was no major event, but in the letter written by Lin Ya, there was a faint hint that the Lin family was a little ready to move.
Fold the letter and close it, Jiang Long frowned.
Saving Lin Ya's younger brother from the fire pit, he has always been concerned about this matter.
But there are no good opportunities.
In Lingtong County, he wants to dig rivers and reclaim fields, and he can't be transferred for a while, but Lin Ya's younger brother is young but can't wait too long.
Otherwise, if Lin Ya disobeys the wishes of the Lin family a little, Lin Ya's younger brother may be worried about his life at that time.
If Lin Zhi dies, Lin Ya is afraid that she will not be happy for the rest of her life.
It will become her heart disease.
"You should know something about the young lady's maiden family, right?" Jiang Long had a flash of inspiration and asked the black-clothed guard who was kneeling in the middle of the hut.
Jiang Long didn't speak, and the black-clothed guard would not retreat.
"The Lin family is a wealthy family in the local area, but there have been no outstanding talents for several generations, so it has gradually declined." The black-clothed guard replied, "Of course, the Lin family's heritage is still there, the Lin family runs a cloth restaurant, a grain and oil study, and there are many shops that belong to their own family.
As long as those shops are not sold, and there are talents to take over the business and run it properly, the Lin family will soon be able to regain its strength. ”
Jiang Long nodded, the black-clothed guard analyzed it very reasonably.
Shops are fixed assets and do not need to be rented at any cost, so as long as you can find a suitable way to make a living and re-operate, you can immediately have a large amount of money in your account.
"After the death of the young lady's biological mother, my cheap father-in-law married the stepfamily, which is to forget the young lady and my poor brother-in-law, the steproom made it difficult for the young lady and the young master Lin in every way, although the young lady has married into the Jing Mansion, but my brother-in-law is still living in dire straits." Jiang Long said as he paid attention to the look of the black-clothed guard, and seeing that his face was calm, he guessed that the black-clothed guard should have some understanding of this matter.
"What does the little master mean?" The black-clothed guard asked.
"Two ways." Jiang Long said in a deep voice: "The first one, steal Lin Zhi out of the Lin Mansion." ”
The black-clothed guard immediately said, "It's easy! ”
Although the Lin family is a wealthy family, it is only a local wealthy family, and compared with the hairpin family of the entire Great Qi like Jingfu, it is almost a step away.
If it weren't for the little marquis's wife, Lin Ya would not have been engaged to Jing Jianglong at all.
The black-clothed guard went to the Lin Mansion to steal someone out, it was a breeze.
What's more, Lin Zhi is not taken seriously, and there should not be many people around to serve.
"It's easier, but I'd like to use the second option."
"Please speak clearly, young master."
Jiang Long suddenly diverted the topic, "Salt mining, you have made a lot of money now, right?" ”
"The little master is short of silver on hand?" The black-clothed guard didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, and said with a respectful face: "Please also ask the little young master to tell me a specific number." ”
"The amount of brine stored in that batch is amazing, and there are no numbers at all."
Jiang Long shook his head, he still had some silver on hand now, and he didn't want to open his mouth yet, when his eyes suddenly condensed slightly, "When I said brine salt, I didn't want silver, but I wanted to put a long line and catch a big fish!" ”
The black-clothed guard was puzzled at first, and then when he thought of the Lin family, he suddenly understood.
As he expected, Jiang Long continued: "The Lin family is gradually declining now, and the family must be trying to find ways to make money, cultivate the children of the family, and want to revive the prestige of the family.
Don't they want to do business?"
Smuggling salt is a huge profit, and when the time comes, you send someone to take the initiative to find the Lin family and identify yourself, and you want the Lin family to nod and agree after thinking about it.
Give it a taste of sweetness first, and wait to trap the Lin family's large sum of silver, hehe! ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Long sneered, he couldn't let his wife and brother-in-law suffer all these years in vain.
After hearing this, the black-clothed guard already understood Jiang Long's strategy.
Most of the businesses that can make a lot of money must invest a lot of money, and if the Lin family wants to get the smuggled salt from the black guard, they have to pay the silver first, and when they take the money and don't deliver it to them, they can easily trap the Lin family's funds.
At that time, the family's money was exhausted, and the Lin family was left with only an empty shelf.
Aren't you letting Jiang Long knead round and flatten?
Seeing that the black-clothed guard was silent and did not immediately nod his head in agreement, Jiang Long snorted coldly: "Lin Zhi's body is also the blood of the Lin family, and it is up to him to continue the Lin family's righteousness, and with the help of the Lin family's forces, it should be of great help to the black-clothed guards acting in the Lin family's location, right?" ”
The Lin family is a big force in the local area, and Jiang Long has no intention of uprooting it.
Let Lin Zhilai be the head of the family, and then give him a few shrewd and capable henchmen, he should be able to hold up.
"Yes!"
The black-clothed guard finally responded.
For the Lin family, the black-clothed guard naturally has nothing to sympathize with.
Just if you want to design and set, you have to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources.
And the blackcoat himself still has a lot to do, so he has to think about it.
After discussing the details for a while, Jiang Long put the matter aside and opened the letter sent by Mrs. Diexiang.
The content of the letter paper is endless lovesickness.
There are true feelings, and there are false doping.
After reading it, Xinjiang Long waved his hand lightly and asked the black-clothed guard to retreat.
Then he walked up to the study.
At the end of Mrs. Diexiang's letterhead, she asked Jiang Long to write a story.
came to the study to light the oil lamp, Jiang Long rolled up his sleeves and began to grind ink.
When the ink was polished, Jiang Long had already figured out which story to write.
When you lift the pen, the tip of the pen moves on the paper, like flowing water.
"Legend has it that there is a Vega in the sky and a morning glory. The Weaver Girl and the Morning Glory are in love and heart to heart. However, the laws of heaven do not allow men and women to love each other and fall in love with each other. The Weaver Girl was the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother reduced the morning glory to the mortal dust, and ordered the Weaver Girl to keep weaving cloud brocade as punishment.
The Weaver Girl's job is to use a magical silk to weave layers of beautiful clouds on the loom, changing their color with different times and seasons, which is the "heavenly clothes". Since Morning Glory was degraded, the Weaver Girl often washed her face with tears...... One day, several fairies pleaded with the Queen Mother to visit the Blue Lotus Pond on earth, and the Queen Mother agreed to them.
When they saw that the Weaver Girl was depressed all day long, they pleaded with the Queen Mother to let the Weaver Girl go together, and the Queen Mother also felt sorry for the granddaughter after being punished, so she told them to go and return quickly.
After the morning glory was degraded, he was born in a peasant family and named the cowherd. Later, when his parents died, he followed his brother and sister-in-law to live. The brother and sister-in-law treated the cowherd very harshly and wanted to separate the family from him, so they only gave him an old cow and a broken car, and the rest were monopolized by the brother and sister-in-law.
Since then, the cowherd and the old cow have relied on each other for their lives, and they have cut through thorns and thorns on the wasteland, cultivated the fields, and built houses.
The cowherd didn't know that the old cow was originally the Taurus in the sky.
On this day, the old cow suddenly spoke, and it said to the cowherd: "Cowherd, today you go to the Bilian Pond, there are some fairies bathing, you hide the red fairy clothes, and the fairy in the red fairy clothes will become your wife."
After a while, the fairies really fluttered in, took off their light clothes, and jumped into the clear stream. The Cowherd ran out of the reeds and took the red fairy clothes...... The Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd. After they got married, the man farmer and the woman weaved, loved each other, and lived a very happy life. Soon they gave birth to a son and a daughter, who were very lovely. The Cowherd and Weaver Girl thought that they could stay together for life and grow old.
However, when the Queen Mother learned about this, she was furious and immediately sent the Heavenly Fairy to catch the Weaver Girl back to Heaven to ask for her guilt! ”
