Liling City, North Street will arrive immediately.

…………

…………

"Proprietor, this is Wang Jing. This is Niu Kui, this is Niu Yi, and the two of them are brothers. This is Wei Zhong in ........."

…………

July is not the day of the sun.

…………

In a short period of time, Wei Bushan's "Coming Soon" opened on North Street near Datong Village.

…………

There may be a lack of others in the Datongzhai area, and the only thing that cannot be missing is mules and horses.

After Wei Bushan discussed with Zhang and Wu, the two shopkeepers, he spent 200 taels to build such a large miscellaneous courtyard, which was used as a business or a little dilapidated and messy, and it was very suitable for mules and horses.

The area is large, and there are many houses that can be converted into stables.

…………

Now there are about 100 horses and 50 mules in the courtyard, and many people are hired to keep them.

With so many mules, the forage used for the usual food also costs a lot of silver.

Especially after a few months.

In winter, the price of forage is also higher.

The mules and horses spent a total of nearly 1,000 silver, and they had to eat more than a dozen stone of soybean meal and one or two hundred bunches of hay every day, plus the muleman's silver, and the daily expenditure was more than 20 taels, which was a large amount of money.

…………

In addition to the mule drivers, horses, and mules, the other silver was used for the ruffians in front of them.

…………

…………

They are all in their twenties.

As far as the people in front of them are concerned, although they are still very young, most of them have ruffians on their faces, and they really have a lot of bad habits.

…………

However, Wei Bushan didn't think it was that difficult to do.........

After a while, he will absorb more people, and then he will not be dominated by these ruffians.

But right now, when the foundation is being built, these people are very useful.

…………

Whenever Wu Feng said someone, he came over to show Wei Bushan, with a casual attitude, a respectful attitude, and a meaningless face.

It's just that when he signed up, Wei Bushan personally gave a small ingot of silver to these people, saying, "This is this month's monthly reward, do it well."

Only then did each ruffian show respect on his face, and the lower he bowed.

…………

"I won't arrange for everyone to go out in the past two days," Wei Bushan looked at everyone and said loudly: "I know that you are all good at it, and you have a job here, and I will make it clear to you at this level." On the second level, if you take my money from me, you must obey my commands, and if you can't stand it, return it to me while the money is still hot, and then leave. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and felt that the proprietor was very direct and straightforward, and it was easy for them to accept such words, and of course no one would really take the silver back.

…………

After Wei Bushan finished speaking, he said to Wu Feng: "In the past few days, everyone has practiced horseback riding, and I know that most of you can ride horses, but there will be a lot of long journeys in the future, and your equestrian skills are far worse than those of bandits and bandits, so you have to practice more familiarly."

Wu Feng was surprised and said, "Does the proprietor mean that he still has to attack the bandits?"

"We are not soldiers, and it is unprofitable to attack the bandits, but when we do business in the future, it is inevitable that there will be bandits and bandits around us to rob us, and you can't ask people to rob my silver and goods in vain."

…………

Speaking of this, Wu Feng and the others all nodded, and everyone said: "There is no such reason, whoever dares to rob us, we have always only robbed others."

…………

…………

Wei Bushan looked at the courtyard, and the existing guys were about a dozen.

The ruffians are almost thirty people, each of whom has two taels of silver per month, and when they go out, they add one or two months' money, which is three taels.

This silver is higher than the monthly money of the two or two guards of Liling City, and these ruffians can't earn half of the silver all year round, so they are not afraid of these guys making trouble in a short time.

…………

…………

"The villain has seen the proprietor."

"Coming Immediately" The yard was full of mule dung and horse manure.

When a group of people saw Wei Bushan, they bowed down.

Three men and three women, and a dozen or so little dirty children, the adults bowed, and the children also bowed, looking at Wei Bushan without blinking.

These children's faces are dirty and they can't see their eyebrows and noses clearly, only their eyes are as clear as water, and they can see the bottom clearly.

…………

This is Wei Bushan sent people to get the three craftsmen, there are sixty or seventy craftsmen in Liling City, the previous foreign Mochen brigade came to attack, heard the wind and fled more than half, there are still more than a dozen left.

Usually they are responsible for tinkering with things like ironclad weapons, but most of the time no one really asks them to do such things.

Most of them can only do some folk work, and the money they earn is divided among the officials who manage the artisan household.

Usually give three buckets of grain every month, most of which are mixed with stones and sand grains, and only half of them are left after being cleaned, and sometimes they may not be able to get half of them.

These craftsmen are the people at the bottom of Liling City, in fact, they are the same everywhere.

The peasants are enough to be at the bottom, the pawn households are not as good as the peasants, and the artisan households are not as good as the pawn households, which shows that the artisan households have a little livelihood.

…………

And the northern country used these man-made houses to make artillery weapons, repair iron-armored helmets, and add messengers to withhold materials, which shows what kind of weapons are supplied to the brigade.

…………

These craftsmen are rented, and Wei Bushan gives the Liling City a silver tael every month, and the people belong to him.

…………

Wei Bushan stepped forward to help several men up one by one, he didn't remember the names of these people, but he still had a smile on his face, and said plainly: "The busiest thing here every day is to make horseshoe, repair saddles and other things, and when I am busy for a while, I will make some long knives and other weapons, and I will have people here to escort cars."

And they all bowed down again to agree, and Wei Bushan stopped them again.

…………

After everyone stood up, Wei Bushan smiled again and said: "Each man has two catties of grain a day, a woman and a child each have one catty of grain, and each family is given a penny of salt and vegetables and silver every month, and if the work is done, there will be a monthly reward and an annual reward.........

“……… These rules will be in charge of the treasurer of Wu Da at that time, if you have anything to do with him, if you still can't do it and you can find me, just do things with peace of mind here, don't worry about hunger. ”

…………

For these craftsmen, the conditions of Wei Bushan are tantamount to a desperate situation. A few men still held their hands, but their eyes were red, the women's faces were already full of tears, and everyone bowed down again and again, and their gratitude was overflowing.

…………

…………

"Immediately arrive" more than 100 mules and horses, the horses used are very much, Wei Bushan will buy a large number of mules and horses to set up branches in the future, looking for these craftsmen will definitely not be enough at that time, but also have to make weapons, Wei Bushan is not a lot of money, it is still very worthwhile.

…………

"I've got something, see if you can make it."

When the craftsmen were leaving, Wei Bushan stopped a white-haired man and commanded in a low voice.

…………

After Wu Da told the people to hang up the hope at the gate of the gate "immediately", he began to put up wooden board notices on both sides of the door.

As soon as the signboard came out, many people immediately gathered around, and the shopkeeper of some businesses was inconvenient to come, so he summoned the guys to come and see, and then hurried back to tell his shopkeeper that he knew.

…………

…………

Throughout the morning, there were people coming and going in front of the Dahesheng store, and it was as noisy as a downtown area.

Wu Da waved his palm and fanned the wind, with a smile on his face, and greeted people when he met a familiar shopkeeper.

Zhang Yuanbao was still sitting on the counter in charge, and his face was full of smiles.

…………

"Millet wheat, three coins and one stone, rice and beans are all wanted, and they are also given at the price, and those who come do not refuse."

Zhang Yiyun's branch in Liling City, Suzhou, Jin Menda looked at the written note, and his face also showed a puzzled look.

Dahesheng began to collect grain at such a time as July, and it was collected at the price of three coins of silver per stone, and rice beans were also required, and the price was slightly lower, but it was also the same as the usual price.

On the entire North Street, there are at least one or twenty shops engaged in grain business, among which there are also some large shops with a silver capital of more than 100,000 taels, as well as the semicolon of a hugely rich commercial house with a net worth of one million taels such as Zhangjia Suzhou Zhang.

Dahesheng's silver capital had to be counted as a medium multiplication in such a place, and as soon as the news came out that the grain was wantonly collected at the usual price, many people were surprised at once.

…………

Jinmenda is also puzzled.

A few months ago, his distant nephew Jin Erfu also approached him, asking to buy food from the Zhangjia branch at a price lower than the usual price, and vaguely expressed the idea of doing it himself at the top of the Dahesheng store.........

Dahesheng not only did not fall down as Zhang Yiyun of Suzhou, the proprietor of Zhang, said, but made a big fanfare and arrived immediately, and also collected grain in the entire Liling City, which is not a small movement.

…………

"Give them to them, we still have 10,000 stones in the library, give them all."

Although Jinmenda didn't quite understand what Dahesheng thought, but fortunately, his nephew was also the shopkeeper over there, since he bought it at the usual price, this transaction could not suffer a loss, and he, the shopkeeper of the branch, could be the master of this one.

…………

…………

Liling City, Zhangjia Branch of North Street.

…………

"I heard they still make "coming soon"? Jinmenda smiled at a tent room and said, "The little proprietor of Weifu is not small."

"Let's toss." The other tent said with a disdainful face: "How can it be so easy to do business, I don't know how Lao Wu and they can follow such an unknown little person to mess around."

With a smile on his face, Jinmenda agreed with the statement of the tent.

…………

He also inquired about the resolution of the crisis of Dahesheng, and wrote a letter to Zhang Yiyun to explain the matter.

Zhang Da is very concerned about the news of commercial banks in various places.

…………

Previously, Jinmenda followed Zhang Da to run a lot of places and sent a lot of silver, and the proprietor had a great plan, but he didn't know exactly what to do.

He vaguely felt that there was some way to Dahesheng's move, but he couldn't figure out the specific pulse for the time being.

He also wrote in great detail about the actions of the proprietor of Weifu, but Jin Menda felt that it was better to succeed than the great scribe of Liling City.

I heard that Ningda Scribe and Wei Bushan had already known each other.

And what can Wei Bushan do alone, I'm afraid that the specific things are also Wu Da is running.

However, this is not written in his letter, and Zhang Da Proprietor will have his own judgment, and he, the shopkeeper, can only convey the news.

…………

…………

Two days.

…………

Liling City, North Street.

…………

The climate is very hot, and I sit at the door, sweating like rain.

Most of the businesses on North Street are doing business as usual, and in recent days, a few have closed their doors and left.

The whole North Street became a little deserted.

Only the two stores of Dahesheng are still very prosperous, and the store is still collecting grain, which has been close to 30,000 stone so far, that is, nearly 4 million catties.

This amount of grain is already quite large, and the amount is close to the total trade volume of a small market.

…………

Dahesheng's silver is only more than 10,000 taels, and the last time the small market almost took out the goods, and gathered thousands of silver in his hand, plus 10,000 taels that Wei Bushan took out himself.

As far as the silver is concerned, after the harvest of grain, there is still some wealth, but the cost of "coming soon" is large, and the cost of this store is not small, although it is no longer accepted for goods such as cloth and vegetables and fruits, and the daily expenses are still not small.

…………

…………

…………

Liling City, the main store of Dahesheng on North Street.

…………

"If you don't accept it, just say that the counter will rest before the small market in August, and say it after the market."

In the quiet room, Wei Bushan was already sitting in the main seat, Zhang Yuanbao and others were listening, everyone had no objections, and even Zhang Yuanbao breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

What matters now is that the grain bought at regular prices has been piled up like a mountain.

Dahesheng's original warehouse was not enough space at all, but fortunately, there were many empty houses "immediately", and most of them were placed there after cleaning.

In addition, I also borrowed an empty house from a few neighboring trading houses, and it was piled up everywhere.

…………

Wei Bushan was also extremely satisfied with this result, and it was impossible to receive so much food in such a short period of time if he changed the place outside Liling City.

The small market trade is mainly grain, supplemented by cloth and sundries, and many commercial banks mainly supply grain, not to mention anything else, the grain is enough.

…………

As for the regular price to be received, it is not sold at the regular price.

Whether it is a large market or a small market, it will only have to meet the needs of some foreign merchants.

It really has to rely on small market trade to solve the problem of eating tens of millions of foreign people.

What are these people making a fuss about?

…………

This shipping business is a huge profit, and the demand is huge, what is the current harvest of this bit of grain?

…………

…………

…………

"Proprietor, business is coming soon." Wu Feng didn't see Wei Bushan on the counter, so he simply called in the store, but fortunately, there were no customers in the store now.

It's okay, Wu Feng's face is full of joy, and the haze on his usual face is swept away.

At this time, Wei Bushan realized that this guy was actually quite upright.

…………

Wei Bushan's "coming soon" is actually a four-way dislike.

It is said that it will arrive soon, but it does not rent mules and horses, but has porters to help carry goods and collect silver.

…………

At that time, the passage of the world was very developed, there were ships in the south and horses in the north, and mules and carts were the main places in the north, and there were a large number of porters and pawns in each capital.

The short-distance ones are purely pushed by manpower, and the porters contribute their efforts, and the long-distance ones use mules and horses, and the porters also act as mules and horses, helping to drive mules and horses and load and unload goods.

…………

Most of the porters were homeless peasants, but there were also a few poor people in the capital, most of whom were villains.

Stealing when helping people pick goods is just a trivial matter, and blackmail and robbery also happen from time to time.

…………

The quality of the porter is too poor, most of the merchants rarely hire the porter directly, but find a reliable picker, contact with the picker, check the goods and give the picker a large sum of silver, the picker only has a small penny, so that the loss is inevitable, but it is much better than the loss of the silver.

…………

The mule and horse dealers provide accommodation, food, and rental.

Even horse-drawn carriages are also rented out to be called car owners, and the short-circuit business of the world is the best choice.

If there is a large amount of goods over long distances, mules and horses and porters will be hired.

…………

There are also many kinds of carriages, and large carts are divided into four-wheeled and two-wheeled.

Its four-wheeled chariots could carry fifty stones, and were pulled by horses or mules, or ten, or eight, or six horses and mules.

Ordinary two-wheeled vehicles have lower road requirements, but the load is much lower.

The kind of large four-wheeled vehicle with a load of several thousand pounds is difficult to transport, and there are many mules and horses that are used, which are generally only used for short-distance transportation, and the terrain is slightly complicated, so you have to use two-wheeled vehicles or small cars, or even single horses or people to pick.

…………

…………

Wei Bushan's "immediate arrival" is already a collection of porters, mules and horses, and chariot households, but not only that, the trading house also provides the service of depositing and collecting the ticket number on behalf of the silver.

Liling City North Street is the head office, Wei Bushan is ready to set up a branch in Xiling Village, Linhai Ferry, this is a radius of about 100 miles of Zhangwei, but also the current limit that Dahesheng can reach.

…………

Wei Bushan planned to go out with Wu Da in a few days and select the addresses of several branches.

The branch does not need to be too large, there are a dozen rooms for a few horses and mules, a few wagons, and you can change the manpower.

The key is to set up a few solid storehouses, guarded by some ruffians and tents, to collect and distribute goods and silver on behalf of them.

…………

This kind of practice of mules and horses adding porters and adding account numbers is one of Wei Bushan's double tricks.

Shipping is a trick, this "coming soon" is a trick, if these two businesses are done, the net worth of one million taels is a small meaning, and tens of millions can also be expected.

…………

Whoever wins the world, Wei Bushan doesn't want to pay attention to it, whether he ships by sea, or gets it right away, the first thing is to get silver.

Then there is the strengthening of itself, and the sea can make good foreign merchants.

When you have money in business, you can get acquainted with the local officials. If the thief does not come, he will not be afraid of anything.

Even, you can spend money to ask someone from the martial arts to be a guard.

…………

…………

…………

Hearing Wu Feng's words, Wei Bushan hurriedly walked out.

Looking at Wu Feng with an excited face, Wei Bushan smiled and said: "There are still ten days of great heat, and the land is hot these days, there is still business at this time, what kind of business to do, where are you going?"

"It's all treasures."

Wu Feng looked left and right, and whispered: "Xuan pearls, ginseng, fox skin, etc., add up to 10,000 taels of silver, go to Suzhou, it is estimated that they are sold to those relatives in the city."

…………

Wu Fenghe said: "The owner of the goods is a showman, called Fang Babei, there is a lot of business in Suzhou, he opened a ticket number and a pawnshop, the villain suspects that he is running errands for the big proprietor, and this time he stayed in Liling City for a few days is also in our place to find good goods........."

“……… His goods are specially used to send congratulations, and the stakes are very high, because he heard that we have bodyguards, and he is willing to pay a lot of money to hire us. It's just that......... This person didn't bargain much, but his attitude was a little hesitant, and he only said that he could decide after meeting the proprietor. ”

…………

Wei Bushan listened to him, and he already had an idea in his heart, knowing that this was a good customer, and it would be of great benefit to him in the future.

…………

At the moment, he asked Wu Feng to take it, and he went to the "right away" side.

…………

…………
