Chapter 199: New Equipment: Coffee Leader
Jingshi Rong Cargo Office.
He raised Wang Hao to the Liao Rong Goods Division, respectfully gave Su Song to his seat, and bowed to the remaining two men and one woman.
A few days ago, the cronies around the official family all knew that Liang was in politics, and Wang Hao's maternal uncle Zeng Bu Zeng Shuxiang informed him that according to the official family's dictation, Su Song and Su Xianggong, who had been idle, would bring people to discuss with him.
Wang Hao is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and he has been in the official circles of the capital for more than ten years.
He is Wang Anshi's nephew and Zeng Bu's nephew, and he can be regarded as a child of the New Party, so when he entered the office during the Yuanfeng period, he entered the household department that regained real power after the Xifeng reform.
Subsequently, Shenzong Yan driving, during the Yuan You period, the old party was fully restored, Wang Zhe worshiped Su Shi as a teacher when he was a teenager, studied Shu Xue, and Su Zhe, who was in charge of the household department, was not embarrassed by him, and after three or two years of using him, he was recommended to Taifu Temple to carry goods.
Jingshi is in charge of goods, but it is a fat difference.
In this yamen, regardless of lifting tea, wine, aroma and medicine, or lifting the border trade field, the things handled can be four or two thousand catties, every year, I don't know how many merchants who rely on the court to do business, to secretly give gifts, trying to tie the king up.
Wang Hao felt that he had the family style of the Linchuan Wang family and the Nanfeng Zeng family, and he had been trained by the Ersu brothers, how could he be a corrupt person. He will never accept silver money, silk silk, and jade.
Occasionally, I left some ancient books and paintings, and the right to appreciate and analyze them with the other party, and agreed to return them in a few days.
As for not returning it in the end - well, that's because I forgot.
Today, Zeng Wei followed the order of his father Zeng Bu and accompanied Su Song and led Yao Huan and Shao Qing to deal with his cousin.
My cousin is a capable official, and in recent years, he has sincerely cooperated with Hebei Prefectures to manage the Song Liaoyu Field well, and he has got a lot of silver back, and the Liaobu he got back supplies the military uniforms of the front division of the palace, and he has also won the praise of the officials.
Zeng Wei often heard Zeng Bu mention it, thinking that he always had to enter the officialdom of the capital, and he was originally willing to ask Wang Hao for more advice.
I didn't expect it, but I accompanied the three people in front of me.
Even according to his father's relief, the strange case of Lu Wuniang and Miao Lingsu will no longer be pursued by the official family, Yao Huan's move actually saved Princess Fuqing's life, and it is a good thing that she can save favors from the official family and Queen Meng at the same time, but Zeng Wei is still difficult to completely cleanse the unhappiness in his heart.
Huan'er traveled with Su Song and Shao Qing, and was obsessed with tinkering with what kind of bean drink, even if it didn't matter, she almost took her life this time......
If she is already the daughter-in-law of the fourth room of Zeng's mansion, and her wife sits peacefully in the house, how can she cause these turmoil?
Some images can't be erased from your mind quickly.
Zeng Wei saw Yao Huan obviously wearing the baby-scented gown he gave her, and the collar of the underskirt tightly covered her chin, but he always remembered the scene where she appeared in Su Song's house in disheveled clothes and taught Shao Qing to hug her......
Zeng Wei had to keep silently reciting his father's words - "Let her do the things told by the official family first, and then I can go and tell the official family that you have love and ask the official family for marriage."
In the upper seat, Su Song and Wang Hao exchanged a few words of greeting, and then got to the point.
Before Su Song Zhishi, he had a lot of experience in envoying to Liao, and on several official trips, he also went to see the Song-Liao border field in Xiongzhou and other places, so what he said was an expert.
Wang Hao knew that the official family attached great importance to this matter, which was related to whether the annual coin could be returned and whether the commercial tax could be increased.
After Su Song finished speaking, Shao Qing said the estimated capacity and asking price of the passenger sea ship from Dengzhou to the beans, and Yao Huan said the approximate dosage of the beans made after roasting and grinding each catty of beans.
According to what Shao Langjun said, green beans are not as squeamish as spices, and they are lucky, and many businessmen should be willing to do it. Su Gong, in the next thought, this bean can be compared to the spice, after being delivered to the local goods by the Dengzhou City Bosi, it is divided into two roads, all the way directly north to Hebei East Road, to Xiongzhou and other places. All the way to the west to Kaifeng, received by my Beijing Shiyu goods, first set aside for the palace, and then sold to the merchants to sell. ”
Su Song nodded: "After the merchants of the North Road transported the beans into the field and sold them to the Liao, the field supervisor of the imperial court approved the transfer, and you can come to Jingshi to pay for the goods." ”
Wang Hao and Su Song's words exchanged, and Yao Huan listened attentively.
Combined with her previous knowledge, she roughly understood that Wang Hao's Jingshi Cargo Service also undertook the functions of cashing money and selecting goods for the royal family.
First of all, even if the state monopolizes goods, the state is not willing to transport them, because the administrative efficiency of the low-level officials is uneven and cannot be guaranteed. Merchants are different, as long as the imperial court and the merchant make a commission, the merchant is willing to use his efficient logistics force to transport coffee beans from the Dengzhou port to the Liao-Song border field, and even enter the Liao State merchants to trade.
Secondly, in this state-run field, supervised by the imperial court, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty had to pay an account for how much goods they sold and how much money they took. After paying the bills and calculating their commission, the merchant does not need to go directly to the Xiongzhou prefect or the garrison to get the money - because it is too unsafe to take the money on the road. They can directly take the official seal and return to Beijing to withdraw cash.
Again, just like tribute tea and imperial spices, for Hu Dou, a drink that may be popular in the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhao and Song royal families naturally have to pick the first goods. Therefore, since the beginning of the actual commodity system (state-run monopoly), in the beans sold to the officials and people of the Great Song Dynasty, the goods must be sent to the palace first, and then wholesale to the bean merchants in Kaifeng.
I only heard Wang Hao ask Su Song with the intention of discussion: "Su Gong, I will write this first, as for the several states where there are fields, there can be water and manpower around to roast beans and grind beans, I will wait for someone to ask clearly, and then ask Su Gong how to buy water transportation instruments?" ”
Su Song said: "Don't forget that the official family still has instructions, you and Huizhou Bachelor Su write to ask, what is the climate, terrain and scenery there." Hudou is feasible by sea, but the sea ship can go to Dengzhou and Beiliao. However, the bean tree can only be planted in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, and it cannot survive in the bitter cold land of the north of the desert. Therefore, only as Yao Niangzi said, the introduction of the bean tree into the Great Song Dynasty can make this thing like tea and truly become a big money from the pockets of the Liao people. ”
Yao Huan said in a timely manner: "Besides, if it can be planted like tea leaves, and it can be traded in the Song Dynasty, it will be easier for ordinary people to buy and drink, and it will not be expensive." ”
Wang Hao listened to her words, and thought that his uncle Zeng Bu had told him that Hu Dou Drink was created by this Yao family and sold in the market for a profit, and this Yao family was recognized as a righteous daughter by his eldest cousin Zeng Ti.
A person like Wang Hao, who is exquisitely multifaceted and thoughtful, naturally has to think about the word "benefit".
He then smiled and said: "By the way, Mrs. Yao, I heard the cardinal minister say that you have a main store on Zhulin Street, and the bean drink you sell is quite famous among the courtiers. You have a lot of energy, you don't only hide secret recipes, and you are willing to make suggestions to the imperial court, and you deserve the praise of the government. In the future, I will go to talk to my colleagues who are familiar with Kaifeng Mansion, how about setting up Hu Dou Xing, and you will be the first leader? ”
Guild? Header? It should be an industry organization similar to the food shop that my aunt entered, and the land house shop where Shao Qing helped him ask for money?
Coffee industry associations?
Yao Huan didn't think deeply about it, but he heard Su Song slowly speak: "The old man remembers that during the Shenzong Dynasty, Uncle Zun Wang Jinggong (Wang Anshi) said when he was facing the saint that the son of a washing servant in the family wanted to open a cake stall in the city because of his skills in making cakes, but he couldn't pay the membership fee of the cake shop, so he couldn't do this business. When the old man knew that Kaifeng was opened, he finally entered the official's house and abolished the rules of compulsory membership and business, and the government used the guild to ask for businessmen, and forced the merchants to bully and dominate the market. Yao Niangzi behaves in a proper manner, and she is very good to be the head of the line. ”
Wang Hao agreed, and said in his heart, I didn't sell you this favor.
His gaze turned to Zeng Wei and couldn't help but be stunned.
His handsome cousin, just now the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are warm, how can his complexion at this moment sink clearly.
