Chapter 342: Harvesting Grain

"West...... Thai ......"

Zhao Qing remembered that the Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Hui merchants in the previous life were all divided by place names.

Just nodded.

"Well, place names are louder, and they're also easier to spread."

Li Ji smiled.

Coincidentally, the two fell silent at the same time.

Yu Guang saw that Fu Ge'er was asleep on the seat for some reason, Zhao Qing hurriedly picked him up gently, cleaned up the toys under him, put Fu Ge'er flat and lay down, and dragged a thin blanket to cover it, patting it gently.

Looking at his son's delicate little face, Zhao Qingda's heart was full of satisfaction, and his eyes were full of doting love.

There was a warm and peaceful feeling in the carriage.

I don't know how long it took, as soon as Zhao Qing looked up, Li Ji was looking at her intently.

Contrary to his leisurely attitude of everything under control, his expression was extremely focused, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Zhao Qing stared at him for a long time, but there was no reaction.

"What's wrong?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Li Ji's body was shocked.

Only then did I realize that I had unconsciously lost my mind.

After being arrested, Li Ji's face was hot, and his expression quickly regained his composure, as if nothing had happened, he coughed lightly and asked:

"I'm thinking, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and there are no wars, floods, or droughts, why did the third sister-in-law suddenly remember to harvest sorghum?"

Is that really the case?

Squinting at Li Ji slightly, Zhao Qing found that she, who has always been the best at figuring out people's minds and often being able to see through other people's minds at a glance, couldn't understand the man in front of her at all.

Seeing Zhao Qing looking at himself silently, Li Ji raised his eyebrows and continued with a calm expression:

"The Shen family has withdrawn from the grain market for many years, and the third sister-in-law may not know that some bad habits in the northwest region have long been eliminated by Fu Wannian in recent years, and now the northwest grain market has already undergone earth-shaking changes......

For many years, the state of Chu has always had the bad habit of colluding with officials and businessmen to sell moldy old grain to the army as new grain.

Horizontal and vertical can't eat the dead.

Since his second expedition to the west five years ago, he was afraid that after his triumphant return to the court, he would be beguiled by the second prince and the queen by the disappearance of the county lord of Chaoyang, and the birds would hide their bows and kill donkeys, so he left 300,000 troops in Beilouguan on the grounds that the Tartars had not been eliminated, and he really wanted to make these 300,000 troops his trump card army.

In the past few years, he has come to the northwest several times, and personally urged Fu Wannian to get rid of bad habits in a big way......

Today, the aged rice in the northwest is much lower than that in the rest of the Chu State.

And Zhao Qing suddenly bought Chen Mi with great fanfare at this time, no need to ask, she must have wanted to resell this batch of Chen Mi to the army through Fu Wannian's relationship!

He was very angry when he suddenly heard Mu Shuang talk about this last night, if it wasn't for the dead of night, he would have wanted to rush directly to her room to ask clearly!

She is a business wizard who can not be found, and she is the woman of his brother in life and death, especially this face that resembles the county lord of Chaoyang, and the calm and calm that suddenly controls a qiē, which makes him respect in his heart and reluctant to hurt in his heart.

It's just that he can condone her to do anything, but this one is absolutely not good.

That's his bottom line!

*****

In Master Yang's study.

Master Yang was looking up and down at Yang Ziqian, who was covered in dust and had a tired face.

"How did you come back so quickly?"

When he came back from Shizhou Mansion a few days ago, Yang Ziqian only stayed in Yang Mansion for one night, and before he could talk to his father about cooperation with the Shen family, he died due to the collapse of the granary of the Xinhua branch of the vast commercial bank, and hurried to Xinhua County.

Xinhua County is about three days away from Zhongzhou Prefecture.

According to Master Yang's calculations, Yang Ziqian will be early in Zhongzhou Mansion in the middle of the night tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, from the time he sent a message with a flying pigeon, it only took one day and one night to arrive, which made Master Yang very surprised.

"If the father is in trouble, can the son be unhappy?" said respectfully, Yang Ziqian secretly screamed ashamed in his heart.

He had received a letter from his father.

It was the evening of the third day that the third sister-in-law sent a book to him, saying that she would come to Zhongzhou Mansion to discuss business matters with him, and by the way signed a transfer contract for the secret method of ripening and storage of fruits.

She said in the letter that she would leave early the morning before yesterday, and that she would arrive this evening if she was fast, and that she should arrive tomorrow morning if she was slow.

Did you take her to the Yang Mansion? Or is it arranged at an inn outside?

When he received the Yang Mansion, he had to tell his father and mother about the peach business he and the Shen family were doing.

It's just that because of the grain dispute five years ago, my father has a very deep heart for the Shen family, and it can't be resolved in one or two sentences...... But she was about to arrive, and now the showdown, once she angered her father, she would be angry with her...... The consequences are unimaginable.

However, she is not only his business partner, but also the only confidante in his heart, how can she let her go to the guest house!

How do you tell your father?

Hesitating in his heart whether to order someone to clean up the guest room first, Yang Ziqian asked with concern.

“…… The father is so anxious for his son to come back, but something happened to the Tan Xi Chamber of Commerce? "As early as three years ago, after he completely took over the Yang family's business, his father almost no longer cared about business matters, unless this kind of major event wanted to give up half of the Tanxi Grain Market.

As the president of the Tanxi Chamber of Commerce, his father devoted himself to the Chamber of Commerce.

Old Man Yang shook his head.

"It was by chance that I met a big business!"

waved his hand and sent away the minions in the study, and Master Yang told Yang Ziqian that he wanted to make a military horse with the man in Xuanyi.

Yang Ziqian's eyes lit up,

"Fifty thousand military horses, one plus two hundred taels, a total of ten million taels! After deducting the forage freight along the way and the favors of the horse farm and the army, we can earn at least six million taels! He looked at Master Yang with sparkling eyes, "This business is worth it!" It's just that when he remembered something, his expression was straight, "Is this old man that my father said reliable?" Can you really go through the formalities of getting a horse through the customs? ”

Reselling military horses is not good, but it is a big crime to kill the head.

"It was introduced by your Uncle Zhu Enzhang, absolutely reliable!."

Old Man Yang nodded solemnly.

He leaned forward, lowered his voice, and said, "...... Your Uncle Zhu has received reliable news, long live the holy decree of the Northwest Frontier Army will come down soon, if this is the case, maybe we don't need to buy from the horse farm, and a large number of horses will be eliminated in the Northwest Frontier Army! ”

has the exclusive right to cooperate with the army for ten years, and these horses belong to his Yang family!

"Why didn't this old man go directly to the Northwest Racecourse to talk? They'll save a lot of money! Moreover, our Yang family has never done a horse business! Although the huge profits are tempting, many years of business experience have already made Yang Ziqian develop a calmness beyond ordinary people.

"Without a reliable person to introduce, without such a strong fund as my Yang family, who would dare to take it from the Northwest Racecourse!"

Besides, Zhu Enzhang will never introduce this business to the racecourse!

Master Yang snorted coldly and said:

"Because of the riot caused by the grain hegemony five years ago, until now, the northwest has been isolated by the north and south dart bureau for five years, like an isolated island, the silver inside can't get out, and the silver outside can't come in, even if the princes and nobles go to the northwest, they will return like Qiu Erye...... Only my Yang family dares to take it, and I can take this business! ”

Carefully analyzing the shape of the northwest, the corners of Master Yang's mouth turned up slightly.

"Everyone said that it was unwise for the king of the northwest to confront the entire northwest and the north and south dart games, and it made it more and more difficult for us northwesterners to do business...... But there are a few people who really understand that the more difficult the business, the more money will be made! ”

If many people can make money from it, it is definitely not big business!

He looked at Yang Ziqian, "If we can really win the military horses eliminated in the Northwest Army, we can at least earn nearly a hundred taels of silver for one horse!" ”

50,000 horses is a net profit of nearly 5 million!

plus the two hundred taels added by one of the other party's horses, this reversal is 10 million taels.

Ten million taels.

It is equivalent to the accumulation of more than ten years of his Yang family!

Thinking of the white silver, the old man couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he looked at Yang Ziqian tightly, "...... Now, the only thing I'm worried about is the Northwest King level! (To be continued.) )
