Peng Quanwu leaned forward at this moment and said, "My lord, please change your official uniform so that you can be deterred." ”

Zhang Zhongjun turned his head and saw that his two catchers had changed into fast catcher clothes, the two patrolmen had also changed into patrol clothes, and Peng Quanwu had also changed into brand new black clerical clothes.

He naturally nodded, in this unfamiliar place, the official uniform is more deterrent, at least they don't dare to kill an official casually.

When Zhang Zhongjun changed into his official uniform and came out, the wooden platoon had been parked in the depths of the harbor with the help of the dock personnel, and there were already dozens of people checking the quality of the timber of the wooden platoon back and forth, and the leader of Xiao Li was talking to a middle-aged man, and when he saw Zhang Zhongjun coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

A few meters away, the middle-aged man dressed as a local tyrant arched his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Xiaguan Luo Zhengrong has visited Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang is really young and promising! Xiaguan is in charge here, I don't know if this batch of timber is sold by Lord Zhang?"

As soon as he heard that the other party said that he was an official, Zhang Zhongjun immediately activated the golden finger, and naturally clearly saw that the other party's strength was gray and red, and it belonged to the strength of the high level, at least the official position of the upper and lower grades.

Similarly, Zhang Zhongjun also liked the other party's not very polite and straightforward performance, and immediately smiled in return: "Of course it's for sale, but I don't know what the price is here?"

"It's easy to say, we children are not bullied, half a meter of diameter of wood, one zhang 5 taels, 3 zhang 10 taels, more than 3 zhang, each more than one foot more than one tael! And every inch of diameter increases the price doubles!" This Luo Zhengrong immediately said shrewdly with the appearance of a vendor.

Zhang Zhongjun looked at Peng Quanwu with a smile, and immediately took out a piece of paper for this document, looked at it, and handed it over. As early as when Zhang Zhongjun was preparing to release the row, the specifications and types of these timbers had been calculated, and because the amount of discharge this time was small, the journey was smooth, and there was no loss at all, that is, how much wood was brought out, and how much wood was brought out now.

Na Luo Zhengrong looked at the paper and handed it to his subordinates behind him, so naturally some of his subordinates would go to count and settle accounts. Maybe the counting work has already begun, and there are no more than a dozen people moving back and forth on the wooden rows?

At this time, Zhang Zhongjun was invited to the shore by Luo Zhengrong, and the chairs, tables, tea, and snacks were all brought up, and Zhang Zhongjun's subordinates also had their own people to arrange them, and the two sat in the open air and chatted while drinking tea.

Zhang Zhongjun also knew at this time that the timber collectors in Magong Town were not the Sanyun Gang, let alone Shanzhou Mansion, but directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry of the Southern Capital.

Most of the timber received will be shipped to the shipyards in Nandu, and some of the timber that can be used as beams will be sent to the construction department, or used as inventory, or used to build various official buildings. Of course, it will inevitably be sold to some local tyrants who need to build houses and houses.

It can be said that it is the government personnel who monopolize the timber industry of this Wenlongjiang River. But what made Zhang Zhongjun a little weird was that the other party did not rely on his official status to lower the price, but bargained with a businessman.

In the end, the thousand pieces of wood brought by Zhang Zhongjun were sold for more than 13,000 taels of silver, well, of course, they delivered silver tickets.

The people on Zhang Zhongjun's side all looked at the silver ticket with hot eyes, and swallowed their saliva violently, no one could have imagined that in ten days' work, the 1,000 pieces of wood would be exchanged for more than 13,000 taels of silver!

Thinking about how much silver I could only get in exchange for more than 1,000 taels of silver in the Huangwu Forest Farm in the past, I couldn't help but grit my teeth one by one, how much Nanlin Town lost in the past! How much did the Huangwu Forest Farm earn!

Zhang Zhongjun didn't care about the thirteen,000 taels of silver tickets, what he cared about was the follow-up timber sales, so he just handed over the silver tickets to Peng Quanwu casually, and didn't care about Peng Quanwu's sluggishness, and asked Luo Zhengrong directly: "I don't know if Lord Luo has any restrictions on the amount of wood received here?"

Luo Zhengrong's eyes lit up directly: "Lord Zhang still has wood?

Speaking of this, seeing Zhang Zhongjun's puzzled expression, Luo Zhengrong couldn't help patting his chest and said: "Lord Zhang, please rest assured! Don't say anything else, just those shipyards in our south can swallow three or four million pieces of wood like you brought before, and now I don't know what's going on, the Huangwu Forest Farm, which used to produce the most timber, suddenly closed, making the timber in short supply, if Lord Zhang has this kind of timber on hand, and the quantity is enough, Xia Guan can help you increase the purchase price of one percent!"

Zhang Zhongjun's subordinates who were present swallowed saliva one by one, and Peng Quanwu, who was counting the number of silver tickets, also swallowed saliva, because their group knew before that Zhang Zhongjun was going to collect all the timber in the water forest area and directly put it in Magong Town.

And they also roughly know that the water forest area is hoarding 300,000 such large timber, and they thought that the price of wood will drop to five or six taels of silver a piece if the number of timber increases, but now I heard this Lord Luo, who is in charge of the acquisition, say that not only will not reduce the price, but will increase by one percent?

300,000 pieces of wood is 3.3 million taels of silver?!

Almost everyone who knows this number has their eyes turned into money.

Zhang Zhongjun's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Lord Luo, why don't we work together?" I am the head of Shuilin District, and the five towns in the jurisdiction are all forestry towns, and the loggers account for one-fifth of the total population. ”

Luo Zhengrong's eyes flickered, to be honest, he didn't want to take advantage of Zhang Zhongjun's side, everyone who sells wood is a big force, and it is not good to make benefits, and the two of his benefits are in those shipyards that buy wood and those local tyrants who buy wood to build houses privately.

But Zhang Zhongjun's words about our partnership made his heart move.

He was the official in charge of purchasing timber, and the demand from his superiors was that he had plenty of good timber, and as for spending money, as long as it did not exceed the market price, the higher authorities would not care.

It stands to reason that he, the purchasing officer, can casually press down the purchase price and raise the selling price, and he will be able to make a lot of money.

But unfortunately, this is not a world where official power is dominant, and the vast majority of those who sell timber are big forces, and if you dare to lower the price, people will dare not sell you a single piece of timber! And the one who buys timber is a shipyard that is half an official and half businessman, and if you sell it too expensive, people dare to impeach you and not buy you a single piece of wood.

Therefore, Luo Zhengrong has served as this acquisition officer for so many years, that is, he bought the good wood himself at cost price, and then sold it to private individuals at the market price, so as to earn the difference. Although he looks miserable, he is also very fat.
