Chapter Twenty-Seven: Grapevine
"My lord, is it easy to borrow money from Liaodong Yinhao?" The steward of the Fang family said.
Yang Zhen said: "It's not easy for others, but it's easy for you." Because behind you is General Fang, your uncle. ”
The steward of the Fang family is Fang Guan's nephew Fang Chengyun.
In fact, the Fang family firm has developed rapidly during this period of time. After all, Fang Guozhen has already gone. The Fang family's connections at sea were almost broken. But the background is still there, plus there are two people in the Fang family. There is some power at sea, and naturally it rises.
It's just that the Fang family is a latecomer in the end, and they have encountered many obstacles. It has not been able to develop. Make a lot of money though. But overall, not much.
At this moment, he secretly wondered if he wanted to play a big game. After all, his cousin, although his father died, is now knighted.
Having said that, although this party has not dispersed, it has also come to garbage time. I won't go into details.
------
Yang Zhen immediately came to report to He Xi and Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao listened to Yang Zhen's report and said, "It's okay." It's almost time for the heat. ”
He Xi said: "If all this is done. The difficulties of the first half of this year are over. ”
He Xi played this hand, and his original money passed through the hands of these people, and returned to the silver number, which is the modern bank money multiplication, as if it was magic. And at the moment there is no banking management system. He Xi can also spend the money he gets at will.
You must know that He Xi is in Liaodong, and everything is traded by bills, whether it is grain or silver, although there is no compulsory collection. Most of them are out of the market. In other words, two million taels, He Xi can spend it twice.
However, it all comes down to one thing.
That's the empty check He Xi wrote, for Lan Yu, for these people. This year, it is going to be cashed. If you can redeem it, you can still play this game, and if you can't redeem it, this thing will not end well.
He Xi has really become a liar.
Yang Zhen said, "Lord Yao, is this okay?" The news hasn't spread yet. ”
Yao Guangxiao said: "Okay, when a message spreads more than three people. It's hard to keep it secret. How many people did you call this time. Not to mention, it can only be trusted if it is really confidential. Of course, if the result he wants is not achieved, Yao Guangxiao doesn't mind letting some people know about this matter inadvertently.
Still, the smaller the action, the better.
The smaller the action, the smaller the traces of human manipulation, and the less likely it is to be seen.
After all, even Yao Guangxiao didn't dare to underestimate the world.
Yang Zhen said: "There is another worry, after this news spreads, won't it reach the ears of the Marquis of Yongchang?" ”
He Xi said: "Of course it will arrive, but it will be a month or two later. In a few months, the Marquis of Yongchang is afraid that he will make a big move, and at that time, he will not want to offend me. Moreover, what is not beneficial, Yongchanghou will not do. Nothing more than to give some benefits. ”
"I'll just talk to him about that."
He Xi didn't think about really giving Lan Yu any benefits. The only thing he wanted was to delay payments. Wait; Liaodong burst out of productivity. All this is not a problem. In between, the scam in front of us must be maintained.
Find a way to keep the capital chain from breaking.
Thanks also to the transportation system of this era. If it weren't for the inconvenience of information exchange. He Xi's scam may not be so smooth.
-----
As Yao Guangxiao said, the gossip always flies fast. In fact, Yang Zhen privately invited these people to his home, which was very sensitive in itself. Not to mention, everyone is a veteran of a long battle on the merchant sea, sometimes an enemy, sometimes a friend.
I know it all.
So they showed their powers, and they tried to find a way to inquire about the news.
After all, there are many people. The news was gone. Even Yang Zhen didn't know who leaked it. Although I know that among those few. But everyone has a head and a face, and there is a backer behind them, so it's not easy to ask. After all, asked. Can you believe what they say?
I could only see each other, nod with a smile, and cover up this matter.
Don't know.
But the private conspiracy began.
Their first priority is to make money. Only with money can we take the initiative in the competition below.
So, He Xi's procurement conference began.
Although He Xi attached great importance to it, in order to show that he did not attach importance to it, the members of Liaodong did not appear. It was a petty Liaodong official who came forward to preside. His name is Xie Lun.
He is also from Jiangxi. is also the person brought to Guozijian by Liu Song today. Now he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, which is much worse than Huang Zicheng and Lian Zining. But the learning is solid. He has a straightforward temperament and is particularly good at arithmetic. He far surpassed Tongji in Guozijian, and now he is a capable officer under Yang Shiqi in Liaodong.
However, his rank is still low, and he does not know the inside story of this matter. Just for ordinary official business.
In the main hall of the Niuzhuang Station, Xie Lun stood at the top and said, "This time the purchase is huge. For the sake of convenience, take the form of a pounce. A number of things will be a single order, and the conditions will be quoted separately. The lowest price. Don't pitch too low, though. If you have made an offer, and you cannot give it. When the time comes, it will not be a simple matter. You must know that the reason why you are invited to come is because you can run, and the monk can't run the temple. Good self-cherishing. ”
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to admit it. But I also have to admit that now the Ming Lord is one with the country. It is an important part of the state apparatus. Because of this. Most of the nobles will not run counter to the interests of the country unless they have to.
In today's situation, if the rules are broken. It made the entire elite circle laugh at it. In the future, children and grandchildren will not be able to hold their heads up. And the one who did this thing. It is estimated that it is not as easy as dying the whole family.
Therefore, no one dares to slack off.
Xie Lun said: "The first order, 100,000 stones of rice, must not be hulled. Arrived at the cattle farm in June this year. ”
The reason why there is no shelling. On the one hand, it has a long storage time. On the other hand, the price is low, and more importantly, the hulling of these grains and the removal of soybeans from the pods. Nowadays it is almost purely artificial. But there are already machinery for this in Liaodong.
After all, the most basic gears and bearings are made, and many machines are not a problem.
As long as you have an idea.
In this way, a lot of money can be saved.
"Twenty-five thousand taels."
"Twenty-four thousand taels."
"Twenty thousand taels."
After talking about 20,000 taels, the anger below was ruined for a while. Finally no one spoke.
This made Xie Lun extremely surprised, and secretly said in his heart: "This is because I have been in Liaodong for too long, and I don't understand the prices in Jiangnan?" ”
Daming grain is generally between one, two, three stones and four stones. Because there is no hulled millet, the cost is lower. But this year, there is a big hunger in Shandong, and the impact of the drought is still there, although it has rained. But when the harvest comes, it is estimated that it will be next year.
In this case, the price of rice will be higher.
Plus shipping or something. The low price of this order should be one tael or four stones, that is, twenty-five thousand taels.
It's just that the people below don't count this. Their abacus is a combination of calculations. They will purchase Liaodong goods in the future, and the profits will also be converted. As for the future profits of the Japanese Goryeo market, it has not yet been calculated, and it is not easy to calculate.
Therefore, it is not calculated much for the time being.
Therefore, losses can be allowed.
And 20,000 taels, this price just didn't make money. It's not to the point of losing money. After all, large-scale procurement, so much millet, can also reduce the price.
Xie Lun thought this was the limit. He never expected it. There is only the craziest in front of you, and nothing more crazy.
Before Xie Lun came, when He Xi was drawing up the purchase list, he said that if there was more money, then buy more food. Xie Lun agreed to come down. But in my heart, I felt that Master He thought too well. The reserve price is there.
How can there be leftovers.
It's just that the scene in front of him makes Xie Lun doubt life, if you say, the first order is still the beginning. There is no lower limit to the competition that follows.
Everyone seems to be losing money. Even if you lose money, you have to get money to win the quota in Lan Yu's hands. Lose here, earn there. Overall, it's not a loss.
