Seriously, Jiangnan's money is not easy to make, but Jiangnan is currently making the most money and grain.

Nearly half of the Shi clan in the north moved south, and those who stayed behind were trapped in the scourge of war, most of them were not rich, and the situation in the north was chaotic, Gou Xi was still there before, and there were several big trading houses competing for business, and Zhao Hu worked hard in the northern states to earn money that was barely the same as that of Jiangnan.

But Jiangnan is just such a big piece of land, so in terms of efficiency, Jiangnan is more profitable.

He was unwilling to give up the Jiangnan market.

Moreover, this time Zhao Hanzhang clearly said that he would be his backer, which was different from his previous secret use of Zhao Hanzhang's name to act in a low-key manner. 、

She said everything about this, if he didn't take the opportunity to expand his business power in Jiangnan, he would have grown such a head for nothing.

This time, when he looked at Zhao Hanzhang again, he felt extremely pleasing to the eyes, and his heart didn't hurt anymore, he leaned forward and said with a smile: "What about King Langya?" That's just a vassal king, his fief is in Xuzhou, not Yangzhou, and it's not your edict to let him leave Jiangnan? You don't say it's tolerant now, if those people in Jiangnan dare to oppose it, you will wave your army south, and you will even destroy the Huns, are you still afraid of a few soft-footed shrimp from them? ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Do you pay for the military?" ”

Zhao Hu changed the subject, "How are you going to fight them?" Anyway, I will definitely help you, even if you send troops, we should still value peace, especially now that the scourge of war has been eliminated in various places, and the people have not yet recovered. ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked appreciative and relieved, "What the Seventh Uncle Ancestor said is good. "Don't say it again next time.

She pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to make them surrender, you need to constantly suppress them, let them taste the taste of failure, and when they encounter the caravan of the Seventh Uncle Ancestor in the future, they will know to retreat, and at that time, the Seventh Uncle Ancestor can do whatever business he wants, and they can't monopolize it." ”

Zhao Hu perked up and asked excitedly, "How to suppress it?" ”

This is Zhao Hanzhang, can she personally come up with ideas, is it better than those three-legged cat staff under him?

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his voice and said: "The more they don't let us buy anything, the more we have to buy it, and the things they guard against can be bought by us, isn't this their failure?" ”

Zhao Hu nodded thoughtfully, then what was the thing they guarded the most?

Satin?

Chinaware?

It can't be tea, right?

Zhao Hu was weighing it in his heart, and saw Zhao Hanzhang shaking his head and looking at him with hatred.

Zhao Hu was stunned, his heart was on fire, and he said angrily: "What kind of expression do you have?" There are a lot of good things in Jiangnan, do you think it's easy to buy, those scholars are very shrewd, and the best ones will be kept for themselves, and those who are willing to sell me are all medium in quality, and the most are medium and high. ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Selling these things can make them a lot of money from us, and buy the glass, ironware and books they want, what are they reluctant to do?" ”

"Then what do you say they can't reluctant?"

"Food!" The corners of Zhao Hanzhang's mouth curled slightly: "Now, what they are most reluctant to do is food, and what they don't want to sell us the most is also food." ”

Zhao Hu thought about it, but ......

He looked at Zhao Hanzhang suspiciously: "You came to me on purpose, just to let me go to Jiangnan to buy grain?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded.

Zhao Hu frowned, "This is because you are in urgent need of food, how do I know that you are not cheating on me?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said calmly: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, do you know why you need to pull my banner when you do business now?" Because you won't win. ”

"Whether it's business, or being a person, I like a win-win situation, this thing, I won, you also won, this is a happy thing, why do you think there must be a loser in this business?" She said: "As long as you succeed, you can not only make a lot of money, but also suppress the Jiangnan Shi clan and gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan." ”

"In the future, even if you don't play my banner, the people of Jiangnan will not dare to underestimate you," Zhao Hanzhang said: "The same principle applies to other things, the world's businessmen, bustling are all for profit, you can give them enough benefits, in the future, even if I don't be your backer, they will choose you, this is a win-win situation!" ”

Zhao Hu lowered his head and pondered.

Zhao Hanzhang waited for him to think for a while and then asked, "How did the Seventh Uncle Ancestor think?" ”

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth and said, "You said, win-win!" If I buy a large amount of grain from Jiangnan, you won't suppress the price of grain and refuse to give it to me, right? ”

Zhao Hanzhang promised: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, I like a win-win situation, if I win, I will let you win." ”

Zhao Hu slapped his thigh and said, "It's done!" ”

The corners of Zhao Hanzhang's mouth curled slightly.

Zhao Hu immediately called his stewards and asked them to raise money to send them to Jiangnan, and at the same time wrote a few letters to ask people to send them to Jiangnan quickly, so that the caravan still in Jiangnan could contact them to buy food first.

As for the money for buying a large amount of grain, except for the caravan that is in its hands now, the rest naturally needs to be transported from Yuzhou.

However, Zhao Hu in Chen County had no cash, and Xiping still had a lot, so he asked the steward to go back and get it.

It is impossible for Zhao Hanzhang to have money, and he has to transport the grain to Yuzhou before she can buy it.

No, she didn't even think about paying for it herself, there are so many grain merchants in Yuzhou, he will make money by selling it to whoever he wants, and as for her money, it will naturally be handed over to Wang Siniang and Yuan Li to buy grain.

Zhao Hanzhang pointed out that the grain bought by Zhao Hu could revitalize the grain market in the north, in addition to Zhao Hu, she also made a special appointment today with several relatively large grain merchants or gentry who had grain shops at home.

The purpose is to trick them into going to Jiangnan to buy grain.

Their main purpose is to bring all the surplus grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, and use the grain from the south of the Yangtze River to let the victims in the north survive this winter.

The official documents of the imperial court, as well as Ji Yuan's letters, soon reached Wang Siniang and Yuan Li.

As soon as Wang Siniang opened it to see the amount of food required on the official document, she couldn't help but darken in front of her, and when she saw that the imperial court would pay the money, and the money was already on the way to be transported, she breathed a sigh of relief, and called Changshi after closing the official document: "Arrange it, two days later, a banquet will be held in the Assassin's Mansion, and big businessmen and gentry will be invited to the banquet." ”

Chang Shi responded, and was about to retreat and stopped, and said in a low voice: "Envoy, General Wang is now going to Yuzhang, do you want to recall him?" In case he had a conflict with Wang Dun......"

Wang Siniang thought about it and sighed: "Let him go, he has his own measure, it is appropriate to fight at this time, he will not act rashly." ”

The long history should be.

When Wang Cheng died, Zhao Hanzhang was in the middle of the war and could not make decisions for them, so King Langya meant to punish Wang Dun for his official position, but in fact he still led the Yangzhou army, although he did not have the position of a general, but he had the power of a general.
