139. Big business is not ambiguous
Yuan Rui laughed and waved his hand, he didn't mean to blame Zhao Qingyang, no matter what, this person is not bad.
"Okay, okay, it's all your own people, don't be so outside, what do you think, you can talk about it."
Xu Guangjun spoke up at this time, he could see that Yuan Rui was a little uninterested in this Zhao Qingyang now, so he hurriedly came out to play a round.
Speaking of which, Yuan Rui is a brother-in-law, but Xu Guangjun really didn't treat him as a brother-in-law, and he listened to him completely most of the time, which has nothing to do with his concubine, he really admires him.
Xu Guangjun also knows Yuan Rui's temper, shun the donkey, and the ones who are most reluctant to deal with are those self-righteous guys.
He doesn't care how much money he makes, but if he wants to use him to make money, he will definitely be played to death.
"You say, sea trade, sea trade, what is the most valuable thing in Nanyang?"
"I heard Uncle Wang say that the spices, medicinal herbs, and jewelry over there are all things that are in short supply."
"That's right, in the past few hundred years of trade with Nanyang, most of the spices and medicinal materials that have been shipped back are spices and medicinal herbs, as well as some timber, because these are the easiest to make money, and they are several times more than doubled, isn't it!"
"However, the most valuable thing in Southeast Asia is not these, it is grain and rubber, and this is what I want to talk to you about!"
The others didn't react yet, but Zhao Qingyang was surprised, this scholar is amazing, and the situation is very thorough.
"First of all, we have to help the Maritime Trade Division to do business, but also to make it bigger, and at the same time we will come over with the Holy Lord to come over and operate exclusively, we only make grain and rubber, after these things come in, we will process them exclusively for the court, and the profit will definitely not be much, but the business is big enough and long enough, how about it, are you interested in mixing it."
Yuan Rui looked at a few people on the side, he originally wanted to pull them to participate together, no matter what the regulations of Yuezhou were in this matter, he could get involved.
The other three didn't wait for Yuan Rui to finish speaking, and now they have a kind of blind confidence, as long as Yuan Rui wants to do it, it must be the best business to do, and it is also the most profitable business.
Only Zhao Qingyang secretly tugged at the corner of his cousin's clothes on the side, and quietly asked, "Brother, this Brother Yuan is so sure." ”
Zhao Qingping glanced back at this stupid brother and sighed, it seems that he is far away from the court, and he really has no vision.
"Don't look at the grain in Jiangnan now, there is no special shortage of grain in the entire Great Xia, but this is in a normal year, once there is a disaster year, the harvest is not a big deal at all."
Yuan Rui knows that Jiangnan is not bad now, and he can barely eat enough.
In the northern states, the common people can not even eat half of the days of the year, often mixed with wild vegetables, if it is a disaster year, it is very normal for people to starve to death.
There is another key, that is, Yuan Rui knows that the hundred years from now is also the century in which climate change is about to begin in the Central Plains, and disasters are repeated!
"Brother Yuan, I also know the two things you said, there is grain, but it really doesn't make much money to transport it back, so few people make it, and the rubber is cheap, but it doesn't seem to be useful." Zhao Qingyang couldn't help but ask again.
"I'm not afraid of too much food, I want more, it's not a matter of making money, rubber, this thing will be shipped back first, and then I will have other uses at that time."
Yuan Rui didn't want to explain anything to this person, and if he said too much, he probably wouldn't understand.
Several other people are very familiar with Yuan Rui's meaning, he really doesn't think about making money in business, he thinks about the people and his relatives at most. If you only want to make money, it is estimated that he is the richest person in the entire Great Xia.
"I won't get involved in specific things, you just pull things back, and I'll think about the rest."
Yuan Rui didn't want to explain everything so clearly, and after the grain and rubber came in, he had other arrangements.
These people are almost doing one thing, and they can't do the whole chain by themselves, so it's eye-catching, and they still have to be pulled into the court.
Yuan Rui and Xu Guangjun left the restaurant, and just as they wanted to get in the car, Hu Honghai shouted from behind. It turned out that the old man of the Hu family hadn't seen Yuan Rui in the past few days, and he missed him, so he asked him to take time to go to the Xia Guo Mansion.
Yuan Rui counted the time, indeed, since Mrs. Xu was sick and she was busy here, she really didn't go, and seeing that the festival was coming, it was reasonable to go to visit, so she agreed.
"Why, I didn't see your sweetheart today, I'm disappointed!"
Waiting for Hu Honghai to walk away, looking at the absent-minded Xu Guangjun, Yuan Rui didn't care that he was younger than him, and teased him directly.
"You ......" Xu Guangjun listened to Yuan Rui's ridicule, very helpless.
"It's not you yet, I see that I'm about to get married, and I'm not a brother yet." Speaking of which, he was even angrier.
Last time, the old couple saw Yuan Rui and the county lord hugging each other, not only did they not feel a trace of unhappiness, but they were very happy, and they were very satisfied with Yuan Rui's performance, unlike those fake Taoism, saying that they have not yet married and are not etiquette.
This son-in-law of his own family is well-educated, has great skills, is not pretentious, has a true temperament, and is sincere to the county lord. Besides, the marriage will has been made, even if the two are intimate now, it is not a big deal.
Later, the county lord woke up and talked about getting married, and at this time, everything was natural. According to Madame's meaning, she can't wait any longer, the sooner the better, you can't wait for her to die, and her daughter is still unmarried at home.
Where would the county lord be willing to be, his mother was sick like this, and at this time, he would be too unfilial.
However, she didn't say these unwilling words to her face, but just let her mother recuperate at ease.
Until the next day, Wei Guogong specifically told his daughter that now that his wife is sick, the county lord's marriage is to reassure her.
And this is a great event, and it may be the best medicine for Madame, maybe Madame will be fine.
The county lord didn't believe much about this, but when it came to his mother's illness, he didn't say anything more.
Soon after, the will of the Duke of Wei was approved by the Holy Lord, and the date was set for May 26.
Now the dowry of the county lord is already being prepared in the Wei State Mansion, but the holy decree has just come down, and there is not much known in the capital.
Yuan Rui has also been worried in the past two days, it is said that it is best to get married in Jijiazhuang, but Mrs. Xu is sick, how can the county lord leave the capital to marry.
But if you want to get married in the capital, you don't even have a home, where can you get married!
After sending a few people out, Zhao Qingyang followed his cousin back to the room.
"Cousin, do we have to find these people, why don't we find some other royal mansions."
Although Zhao Qingyang knew that these people already represented the local forces in the capital, he was still a little puzzled.
"Brother, you have been away from the capital for too long, may Uncle Wang not tell you the news of the court?"
"Now the business of the entire Great Xia, if you look at those businesses that are slightly bigger, which one was not thought up by Yuan Rui, you think that he is relying on the Wei State Mansion, then it is wrong, he is fighting it out little by little."
Zhao Qingping didn't answer, and first told him what Yuan Rui had done in the court in the past few years.
"Most of the material production of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry is related to Yuan Rui, which is the majority, and there are some scattered businesses, many of which are also related to him."
"Cousin, I know that the Duke of Wei, the Duke of England, and the Duke of Xia are all important figures in the court, and they are also high-ranking in the family, but if you want to talk about sea trade, can they get involved." Zhao Qingyang still pays attention to his own interests.
Zhao Qingping shook his head helplessly, this younger brother's eyelids were too shallow, and he only thought about the selfish interests of Qingyuan Palace.
"Qingping, let me tell you this, if you want to get rich, Yuan Rui would have been rich by now. But he has his own bottom line and rules for doing things, and more importantly, he is not for personal gain, and he thinks about the common people the most. ”
Seeing his brother's disbelief and puzzled look, he sighed and didn't say much, wasn't he the same before.
A few days later, Zhao Qingyang still had a lot of doubts and went back to Nanyang to buy rice.
Yuan Rui has been busy looking around the house for the past two days, no matter what, he has to find a place in the capital to settle down first, and then talk about the family affairs.
The letter has been brought back, and the family should be coming soon, otherwise, with only Xiaohe, she can't be busy at all, besides, she doesn't know much, she is a little girl.
Yuan Rui began to think about finding a place in the inner city, although he said that he was only from the seventh grade, and he couldn't find a big house, but the county lord was different, no matter how big or small, it didn't matter if it was in the palace.
The silver is okay, Xu Guangjun brought him 100,000 taels and let him use it as he pleases, it is not enough, it is all earned from the previous business, and it is his own.
Now you can pick a very good location and location in the inner city for this price, and the optional places are large enough, but after walking twice, you can find that there are really few places to pick.
When he returned to the mansion exhausted, he sat on the recliner and never wanted to move again.
These things are really not what he is good at, nor is he willing to do, in his bones, he is a lazy person.
Originally, the old man of the Xu family arranged a place for Mrs. Xu's marriage, but Yuan Rui was a little awkward, vanity was a factor, and the mansion was too close to the palace, and Yuan Rui didn't like it very much.
At this time, it's not as close as possible, at your own level, you still don't want to get too involved in some court matters.
As soon as Xia Guogong heard that Wei Guogong had prepared a place, he was full of unhappiness, they were just marrying a daughter, and they were not recruiting sons-in-law, do they need to prepare a wedding room?
immediately said that Yuan Rui should be placed in the Hu family's mansion, that place was originally the general's mansion left by Yuan Rui's grandfather, and the last time Yuan Rui went to the Hu family, Xia Guogong told Yuan Rui to pack up and move in.
During this time, Xia Guogong had already instructed his servants to make a comprehensive repair to the mansion.
But what about this place, Yuan Rui is not satisfied, although this place is the place where his mother lived, but after all, it is the mansion of the Hu family, and it is still a little inappropriate for his grandson to use this place as a marriage room.
Just when Yuan Rui was depressed and irritable, the rescuers finally came.
Yuan Rui's sister Yuan Qing rushed to the capital from Tonghai with a bunch of servants and maids, and she came to prepare for family affairs.
