Chapter 573: Heading to Magong Town
Peng Quanwu, who had not spoken much on the side, suddenly suggested: "My lord, now Huangwu Forest Farm doesn't know why it doesn't collect the row, so no one can say anything if we put it in Magong Town, and you are the leader of the water forest area, why don't you collect all the wooden rows in our area, and then we will go directly to Magong Town." Whether you are an official or a gang, your face must be greater than that of others, and you earn this money better than making it for others, right?"
As soon as Peng Quanwu's words came out, before others could react, the leader of the row had already jumped up excitedly: "My lord! This is a super profitable business! You don't need to do anything, you just need to collect the timber in our area, and then release it in one go, all the way to Magong Town, then you will make money!"
"You must know that our Nanlin Town alone will release 100,000 pieces of wood in this rising season, and now the Huangwu Forest Farm does not collect and discharge, at least 70,000 or 80,000 pieces of wood are not released, and in addition to several other towns in our district, this number can be doubled several times, and it is definitely easy to reach 300,000 pieces of wood!"
"Even if these 300,000 pieces of wood can't be sold for 10 taels of silver in Magong Town, the average price must be five or six taels of silver, which is more than 1.5 million taels of silver!"
As soon as the figure of 1,500,000 taels of silver came out, all those who listened were red-faced, and their snorts were thick.
Peng Quanwu swept left and right, and saw that everyone's expressions were flickering, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "My lord, that is, your official body and your connections in the government and gangs can ensure that you earn this money, and others don't have to think about it." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone came to their senses, and they all stared at Zhang Zhongjun with hot eyes. This is especially true of the two leaders of the fast capture and the release of the platoon.
They know very well that they may have some ways and manpower, but when they leave their hometowns, they are arrogant in Nanlin Town or Shuilin District, and once they leave their hometowns, they can't even be arrogant in Zijin County, let alone go to Shanzhou Mansion to be arrogant.
Not to mention whether I can organize so many sources, I am afraid that so much timber will be intercepted before it arrives at Huangwu Forest Farm. Although they didn't receive the goods, they would definitely not watch so much timber pour directly into Magong Town.
And even if you are lucky enough to pass the Huangwu Forest Farm, it is strange that so much timber flows down the river and is not looted by people. Even if you arrive at Magong Town smoothly, maybe someone will crush you and give you a few copper plates and a timber price, do you sell it or not?
So that Peng Wenwen is right, this money can only be earned by people like Master Zhang who have official positions, connections and manpower, and these people are so good that they just drink soup.
But with a business of 1.5 million taels of silver, my soup should be very fatty, right?
Zhang Zhongjun was also moved, not that 1.5 million taels of silver made him excited, but that this was almost equivalent to monopolizing the logging industry in the water forest area. In this mountainous area, logging is the main source of income, and most of the skilled people are concentrated in the logging industry.
As long as you can grasp the economic resources of the logging industry, then you can really have the final say in the water forest area!
Moreover, since Magong Town is an outlet to the sea, and it can still spend ten times the price to collect enough wood, it must be the existence of a large port, and it is definitely easier to find cheats and treasures that replace the purple luck treasure there than in other places!
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun nodded directly and said: "Okay, now let's put the platoon in Magong Town first, check the market, and then say, if the market is good, let's rush back and package the timber in the water forest area, which can not only solve the problem of what the loggers in the water forest area have no work to do, but also make a lot of money! Don't worry, this official will not treat everyone badly!"
"Yes, thank you, sir!" All the people present were excited, yes, even if they had wooden brains, they knew that they would be able to drink a very fatty soup in the future! As for eating meat, they didn't dare to think that there was a problem with their brains, and the low-level personnel were very self-aware these days.
The wooden platoon continued to move forward, drifting slowly along the Wenlong River towards the mouth of the sea.
Zhang Zhongjun once asked how long it would take to arrive in Magong Town, and the leader of Xiao Li's row said very easily: "My lord, the more rugged and small the volume of water this drain, the slower the river, but the bigger the water flow, the wider the river, the faster this speed." After leaving the Huangwu Forest Farm, the Wenlong River has become wider, and the water flow has become faster, although there are thousands of miles of waterway from here to Magong Town, but it only takes five days to smooth the water, which is about the same time as the 100-mile waterway from Nanlin Town to Huangwu Forest Farm. ”
Zhang Zhongjun nodded with satisfaction, five days is not a long time, but he is still a little worried, and the return journey will consume a lot of time. But now is not the time to think so much, just plan how you go.
"Are you familiar with the situation in Magong Town?" asked Zhang Zhongjun.
Xiao Li's leader smiled: "It's quite familiar, when Boss Qiu tried to put it in Magong Town, he was a pioneer." ”
In this regard, Zhang Zhongjun nodded and did not speak.
The wooden raft moved along the wider and faster water of the Wenlong River, and occasionally encountered a slow flow during the process, and a few people who were familiar with the water immediately swam to the shore, purchased a horse of food, oil, salt, firewood, and hired a small boat to transport it back. Since then, the well-stocked wooden raft has deliberately looked for rapids, and it has been smoothly rushing all the way to Magong Town.
This thousand-mile road is very fast, and Zhang Zhongjun enjoys the feeling of speeding on the water. Several times there are thrilling rush through a few sharp bends, of course, this also depends on the experience of the people who rushed the platoon and the joint action of everyone on the wooden platoon, otherwise it will definitely fall apart when it hits the reef.
Thousands of miles of water, the scenery is different, during the period some people on both sides of the strait peep, and even some people drive small boats over, but because the wooden raft is fast, or the wooden raft gives people the feeling that it is not worth a few dollars, so those people with different minds give up after trying.
In this way, Zhang Zhongjun and his entourage came to the sea mouth and the boundary of Magong Town all the way.
The leader of Xiao Li was already jumping and jumping excitedly: "My lord, look, that's where Magong Town specially received the wooden rows, haha, they have already discovered us and are waving to us!"
Zhang Zhongjun nodded: "Go up." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Li's leader immediately led his men to start bracing the pole to drive the wooden platoon to slow down and turn around.
Zhang Zhongjun was in the mood to look at the scenery in the distance, it was a bend beach, and the river water rushed into that bend and then turned out, which was a very suitable place to moor.
What made Zhang Zhongjun a little puzzled was that this place, which was said to receive all the timber upstream, was empty at the moment, with only a few simple wharves formed by wooden rafts on the river, and some small boats, except for dozens of figures shaking, there was no courage to accept thousands of miles of water transportation wooden raft terminals.
