Chapter 182: Big Business

Fang Yingwu persuaded Wang Xiaoniang and Wang Kui, and went to Wang's house with them, wanting to see Wang De. When he was on the road, Wang Kui took the initiative to have a casual conversation with Fang Yingwu, and wanted to inquire about the bill, obviously very interested.

In fact, the bill equivalent to a thousand salt quotations is not enough to make Wang Kui make a fuss, and Wang Kui is not a person who has never seen money. But the operation behind this bill that Wang Chaofeng is really interested in is not something that everyone can casually take from the border town and bring it back to the hinterland province.

Fang Yingwu felt funny, he Jiang Taigong hadn't taken the bait yet, and the fish was about to come up by itself, so he looked at him left and right first, arousing Wang Kui's appetite, and then vaguely mentioned a few words, what Governor Yang and the Sanyuan Wang family and the like nodded.

Hearing the words of the governor, the Sanyuan royal family, the border market, and then the process of turning the silver into salt bills, Wang Kui was secretly speechless, and his heart was quite fascinated, this is called business.

In the two years that he and his brother have been in Hangzhou, they have doubled their family property, and it should be said that their results are also extremely good. But compared with what Fang Yingwu said, the pattern is one level worse, and it is still limited to small operations! A businessman who can combine government and business is the real business!

Not long after, when I arrived at the Wang family's house outside the Wulin Gate, there was no need to report to the little lady Wang and Wang Kui to lead the way, and naturally entered the hall unimpeded.

When Wang De came out, Wang Xiaoniang greeted him first, and complained very dissatisfiedly: "Father! You wronged Brother Qiu again, this time the matter really has nothing to do with Brother Qiu! ”

Wang De snorted coldly and scolded his daughter: "I don't know my heart if I know people, you don't know your heart, you are still very tender." Understand what. ”

At this time, even Wang Kui was dissatisfied, frowning and persuading: "Brother, you can't help but be stubborn too much." How is this different from slander? I really can't agree with that, little brother. ”

Wang De saw his daughter and his brother, the two closest people, going out for a trip, and when they came back, they all stood on Fang Yingwu's side and fought with him. It's almost like blowing your beard and staring.

Fang Yingwu didn't want to waste time, so he said straightforwardly: "For the sake of fellow villagers and neighbors, I can help you solve this matter." But when the matter is over, I will have a place to borrow your royal family, and you will also help each other. ”

When Wang Kui heard this, he thought of the 1,000 salt quotation bill that needed to be cashed, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and guessed the meaning of a few square things.

Could it be that this party should rely on his own identity and don't want to take care of these mundane affairs himself. So looking for someone to work with? So his frequent patience with Wang De is also for this purpose?

Wang De still couldn't believe Fang Yingwu, he was suspicious in his heart, and his mouth was neither salty nor light, "Fang Gongzi's words are serious, our Wang family can't help you anything." ”

Fang Yingwu was already extremely impatient, in his eyes, Wang Dahu just didn't know what to do. His voice was raised a few degrees, as if to reprimand, "Among fellow villagers, who doesn't help each other? Only you are the only one who guards against thieves!

For the sake of your father's face as a former student of social studies in childhood. I'll call you Uncle Shi again! But from now on, you can retire to the backyard to recuperate, or go back to your hometown, don't be ignorant! ”

Fang Yingwu finished angrily. I felt that my words were weird, and they were very domineering, as if they were forcibly occupying other people's property.

He hurriedly added a few more words. "Your property is naturally in Sister Yu'er's name, and as for the management of affairs, Wang Kui is naturally in charge. The proprietor and the treasurer are both of your surname Wang. You don't have to worry about anything! ”

Seeing that his father was still pushing Fang Yingwu outward, Little Lady Wang was also anxious. He said to Wang De again: "Father, you are also confused, how can you talk like this, and be kind to the liver and lungs of a donkey?" ”

Feeling besieged by his daughter and outsiders, and a family head of his own house became a lonely person, Wang De was a little annoyed and angry, and couldn't help but look at his brother Wang Kui, but Wang Kui turned his head to look outside, as if he hadn't heard anything, hadn't seen anything.

No one came out to help, and Wang De was helpless. After a while, the other party had to respond: "If this incident really has nothing to do with you, of course my Wang family will not be unreasonable." ”

"I hope you get it!" Fang Yingwu said sarcastically: "I will visit the town guard eunuch tomorrow, after the matter is settled, you have to come forward to dispel the rumors, don't let the ignorant people think that I am bullying men and women, and what happened to your Wang family." ”

Hearing the words "bullying men and women", Wang Xiaoniang's face turned red for no reason, and her heart jumped very much. couldn't help but imagine for a moment, if Brother Qiu really came to the door to rob someone, would she obey or resist?

Then Fang Yingwu left the Wang family, and Wang Kui sent Fang Yingwu outside the gate. Thinking of the cooperation implied by Fang Yingwu, Wang Kui was itchy for a while, and couldn't help but put forward his own opinions: "Actually, you don't have to worry about the realization of salt, and you don't have to invest too much energy in the sale of salt, it's not cost-effective." And all the money earned is hard-earned money, and it is a trivial task to collect salt money from various prefectures and counties. ”

Fang Yingwu has always been kind to the areas he is not good at, and asked at the moment: "Then what do you say?" ”

"You only need to find a powerful merchant in the province and transfer all the salt to him at a fixed price, whether it is in the form of selling or renting, and let him go to the salt field to support salt and distribute bulk salt.

Then you can take the cash to buy silk fabrics, and then transport it to the northwest, and entrust the Sanyuan royal family to sell, so as to get the maximum profit. ”

"It's very profitable?" Fang Yingwu asked again.

Wang Kui analyzed: "The southeast is rich in silk fabrics, and the silk that costs one tael in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be sold for at least ten taels when it is transported to the northwest.

Moreover, if you can continue to exchange the salt notes from the northwest and bring them back to Zhejiang, it will be another cycle of making money. It's a constant way to make money."

Fang Yingwu imagined in his mind that this was indeed a very grand trade route, using salt quotation bills as a medium to connect the southeast and northwest, including grain, silk, salt and other major items, among which the huge profits were self-evident.

According to the most ideal algorithm, seven buckets of grain in the northwest can be exchanged for one salt ticket, assuming that it can be sold at the price of two taels in the southeast, and then two horses of silk can be purchased and transported to the northwest to sell for twenty taels. And then change it to grain, which is about ten stones.

In one cycle, seven buckets become ten stones! Deduct all kinds of expenses, and that's also a huge profit!

But this also depends on the comprehensive strength of the northwest and southeast, which ordinary businessmen can't do. Even if you have the financial resources, you can't get through these links without strong connections, especially in the northwest border towns.

But now he seems to be able to try, even if it can't last long, but as long as he can do it for a few years, he can make a lot of money.

After thinking about it, I thought too much, so Fang Daxiu lost sleep tonight. The next day, Fang Yingwu didn't get up until he was three poles old.

According to Jihua, I am going to visit the town guard eunuch today. Fang Yingwu was stunned for a while, feeling a little sober, then finished eating, and then washed up and went out.

The residence of Gonggong Li, the eunuch guarding Zhejiang, was also in Xicheng, less than two miles north of the Yamen of the Political Envoy. The gate of the five-bay room is extremely magnificent, and it is even more magnificent than the face of the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division. But the front of the door was very quiet, and a few doormen sat bored on the benches and chattered.

If it weren't for the Wang family's affairs, Fang Yingwu wouldn't have set foot here, which would damage his innocence, but this time for the sake of the villagers, it would be understandable.

Fang Yingwu stepped up the steps, took out the post he wrote temporarily yesterday, and handed it to the young disciple at the front, "Is Eunuch Li in the house?" Chun'an should come to visit! ”

The young man took the post, but he didn't move, didn't say anything, just squinted his eyes. The implication is self-evident - who will run errands and deliver letters for you without a door bag?

The eunuchs guarding the town of a province are equivalent to the governors of civil officials in the eunuch system, and they are indeed competing with the governors. The status in the place is so high, so the door bag that guards the gate of the eunuch's mansion is definitely not cheap.

However, how could Fang Yingwu have the spare money to feed the menzi, put on the temper of a scholar, and scolded: "Are you illiterate? Take a look at the post yourself, and then ask your owner if he accepts the door bag! ”

The young man pretended to pick up the post and looked at it under his eyes, then raised his head and sneered: "On the ground in Zhejiang, is there anyone who can be bigger than our Li Gong?" ”

Fang Yingwu was speechless, this door was taken upside down when he read the post, which showed that he was clearly blind, illiterate, and pretending to read carefully.

I really couldn't get angry with such a bad character, Fang Yingwu pointed to the three words on the post and said: "This word is the west, the west of the west factory; This word is the factory, the factory of the West Factory; The word is Wang. Read three words together, do you understand? ”

"Xichang Wang? I have never heard of such a person in Zhejiang! The man turned his head and shouted to the other two companions, "Laugh to death, have you heard of it?" “

Suddenly, he saw his two companions standing up from the bench, and he was amazed, "Hey, why are your faces so ugly? ”

Wang, who can connect with Xichang in the world, has only one person, and the other two people hurriedly whispered a few words to the young Menzi who received the post before, and the young Menzi immediately jumped up from the bench and entered the courtyard without looking back.

Fang Yingwu pursed his lips, it is impossible for there to be no sensible one among the eunuchs guarding the door, and this young man at the front came in through the back door.

I don't know how long later, another middle-aged literati came out of it to greet him, and the other party greeted him with a salute: "Today, I didn't expect my friend to be here, please come in, please come in!" Li Gong waited inside. ”

Fang Yingwu also breathed a sigh of relief, although he had judged that the eunuch Li Yi was probably afraid of Wang Zhi, but he was always worried before he saw it with his own eyes. Now that I see this situation, I am a little relieved.

Otherwise, with the dignity of the eunuch, how can you say that you can see it? Ken sent someone out to greet him on the spot and brought it in for a meeting, which was already VIP treatment.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged literati, Fang Yingwu entered a tall and spacious hall, where Eunuch Li was waiting on the throne. (To be continued......)
