Chapter 1170: Commerce
Qin Hui found a few caravan consuls who were familiar with Shandong, and then took people away.
"My lord, I don't know what you want us to do?"
Cao Zheng and the others followed Qin Hui to the mansion and asked in a low and cautious voice.
"Of course you want to do business! The grain in Shandong is cheap, and the imperial court is ready to purchase a large amount, but the imperial court can't come forward to do business, and the official is not good at it, so I recruit you to help! ”
Qin Hui looked at the few people in front of him and said.
"My lord, the grain in Shandong is cheap, but that is the territory of Liangshan, and it is too risky to buy grain in the past!"
Someone said, this is smuggling, this is a head-killing business, and they want to live for two more days.
"Don't worry, as long as there is food here in Tokyo, the government will not hold you accountable, but will reward you after the fact!"
Qin Hui looked at everyone and said.
"My lord, if Tokyo doesn't hold us accountable, then Liangshan won't let us go! It's a dead end! ”
The crowd begged for mercy.
"Hmph, that's not what you said just now, you want benefits, right?"
Qin Hui looked at the few people in front of him coldly, and they all said that there was no business and no treachery, but now that he saw that he was really treacherous and cunning, he didn't see a rabbit and didn't scatter an eagle.
"My lord Mingjian, it's not that we don't want to, it's really bottomless!"
Everyone opened their mouths and said, going to Liangshan to buy grain is a big deal, Tokyo just doesn't care, they can't ignore Liangshan, of course, if the benefits are enough, the businessmen are willing to take risks.
"Your future business activities in Tokyo, as long as they do not violate the law, I will allow you to go, and I will not investigate your smuggling from Liangshan in the future."
Qin Hui looked at everyone and said.
In the first half of the paragraph, everyone listened to it carelessly, they all have backers behind them, who will care about them breaking the law under the intricate relationship?
But the last sentence made them very interested, is smuggling illegal? This is a real profiteering, there are too many good things at low prices in Liangshan, and when you turn it back, it will double the profit.
What makes them most excited is the distance, the distance of hundreds of miles is not too close, and the caravan can go back and forth once a month, which is much more profitable and safer than taking a long road.
"My lord, do you only need food this time?"
After a few whispered exchanges, the crowd made up their minds and asked another important question.
"One stone of grain and eight hundred wen!"
Qin Hui opened his mouth and said, it is almost impossible to buy grain around Tokyo at this price.
"My lord, no way! Now the grain in Jinghu is 1,300 wen and 1 stone, and there is a locust plague in Guanzhong this year, and the grain is 1,500 wen and 1 stone, where can the grain be harvested for these 800 wen? ”
Everyone immediately spoke, Qin Hui's price was unacceptable to them.
"The grain over there in Liangshan is only 600 wen and one stone, and you are still not satisfied with the difference in price of 200 wen?"
Qin Hui frowned and said.
"My lord, that's not how it counts! Business has a commercial algorithm. The grain over there in Liangshan is indeed 600 wen and one stone, but it is not at this price if we go to buy it, smuggling grain is a felony, and they also take the risk, and the price will definitely rise! It's too cheap, why don't they sell it themselves? ”
Everyone opened their mouths to explain, how can business be so simple, this is not a number on paper, but also the actual situation, the interests of the people on the other side of Liangshan, the interests of their caravans, and the interests of Tokyo, are not cheap when superimposed.
"Huh?"
Qin Hui frowned and thought about it, as if it was really that situation.
"And what price do you say?"
Qin Hui looked at everyone and asked.
"This ...... We can't be the master, we have to see what price Liangshan offers, and ...... Adults want to ...... What a price! ”
Everyone hugged their fists at Qin Hui.
Qin Hui seemed to feel that there was no problem when he heard it, but he quickly saw something from the strange looks on the faces of the people in front of him, what price did he want? Isn't this just asking him what price he wants to quote to the imperial court? The difference in between-between-cut is not "profit".
"What do you say we should do?"
Qin Hui looked at the businessman in front of him with a smile on his face, he needed money very much, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial court and climb up, money was indispensable, and this purchase of grain was the first step for him to make a fortune.
"Let's go ask and then call back to the adults!"
A group of businessmen spoke.
"Don't bother, I'll go with you!"
Qin Hui spoke directly, since it involves his own "profits", then he can't let these people do it, and he will stare at it personally.
After the discussion, Qin Hui asked everyone to prepare, and set off two days later.
Cao Zheng came to the inner city and went to the owner to explain the situation, and the owner was interested in hearing it, and knew that Cao Zheng had been to Shandong to do business, so he immediately allocated a group of people to Cao Zheng.
At night, Qin Hui received many invitations, almost all of which were sent by high-ranking officials in Tokyo, and Qin Hui knew that these people were interested in the "profit" of buying food.
Cao Zheng took a group of people to Wazi at night, after all, there was a big business soon, so he had to relax and relax first.
After drinking until midnight, everyone went to the gambling house to touch their luck.
"Brother Cao Zheng, this way!"
Time migration appeared next to Cao Zheng.
"I'm still wondering when you'll come! Qin Hui wants to take us to Liangshan to smuggle grain......"
Cao Zheng saw that no one was paying attention to him in the gambling house, so he said directly to Shi Qian.
"Your Majesty has an order, you can do things with confidence, there is food!"
Shi Qian nodded and conveyed Sun Lei's order.
"Then I'm relieved!"
Cao Zheng said with a smile.
Two days later, Qin Hui, dressed in civilian clothes, followed Cao Zheng's caravan towards Liangshan.
"Cao Zheng, how was your business before?"
Qin Hui looked at Cao Zheng and asked.
"I used to be a butcher in Tokyo, and I couldn't make a lot of money, so I helped my owner go to Shandong to sell sheep, but I lost my money when I met a bandit, and I came back for several years, and I worked as a butcher for another year, and finally decided to do business......
Cao Zheng is talking about his own business.
"Do you know a lot of people?"
Qin Hui nodded, what he fancied was that Cao Zheng had been in Shandong for a few years.
"Qin Langzhong, don't worry, the little ones still know some people!"
Cao Zheng said confidently.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Qin Hui fell asleep in the carriage with satisfaction.
After several days of travel, the caravan stopped.
"Qin Langzhong, it's time to the border of Qi State!"
Cao Zheng said into the carriage.
"Call me Qin Dongjia!"
Qin Hui lifted the curtain and said, looking at the checkpoint set up in the distance, frowning.
"You deal with it!"
Qin Hui was a little worried about his safety, and decided to let Cao Zheng come forward.
At this time, the checkpoint has been lined up, whether it is a businessman or a family visitor, passing by must be inspected, Cao Zheng with the caravan is also honestly queuing.
"Is there still a queue?"
Qin Hui was a little dissatisfied, and the people in front of them were carrying burdens, carrying burdens, and pushing wheelbarrows.
"Qin Dongjia, the most important thing in Qi is to abide by the rules! As long as you follow the rules, everything is easy to say, if you don't follow the rules, it will be very troublesome! ”
Cao Zheng said in a low voice.
Qin Hui nodded after hearing this, he was still very unfamiliar with the Qi Kingdom, and he was advised to eat well, so it was better to keep a low profile when he arrived in a strange place. (End of chapter)
