Volume 15: The Winner Is King Chapter 1230 There is a way to march into the army
Sifang Mule and Horse Shop is a century-old shop, which is not much different from the usual century-old people, and the layout of this 100-store old store is not very flashy. There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the mud walls on the four sides, and the most conspicuous is the gold-lettered signboard that reads Mule and Horse Travel.
"It's called Quartet, it's really a shame for the ancestors. Zhang Dabiao sighed. The Quartet mule and horse shop was so prosperous back then, and it was handed over to his own hands, but it has become like this, Zhang Dabiao is really ashamed of his ancestors. Every time Zhang Dabiao saw that sign, he always felt a faint pain.
Bai Suxin approached Hu Wei and whispered in Hu Wei's ear: "This boss is definitely not a business material." ”
People who really know how to do business, no matter how good they are, will not say that business is bad in front of customers. The customer's heart is like this, the busier the store, the more willing to look for it, the more deserted the more they feel that there is something wrong with the store, of course, they are unwilling to help this store. Bai Suxin is a woman in the new era, and she has watched a lot of TV since she was a child.
Hu Wei smiled: "That's not good, if this business is good, then it won't come to us." ”
The Quartet Mule and Horse Shop is the mule and horse shop that Hu Wei fancies, this is a century-old shop, although because of the situation problem, the business in recent years is quite poor, but it has a high reputation among the people, as long as it receives the hand can be operated immediately, even if it is a large amount of business, it will not arouse suspicion.
Hu Wei also accidentally discovered that the Lin Gui Empire actually had a mule and horse shop with such good qualifications, so he was impatient to come. As for Bai Suxin, she will also be here, it is entirely because this woman has nothing to do when she is full, so she has to follow Hu Wei together. Hu Wei thought that it would be good to be able to bring a woman to talk about business together, so he brought her with him.
"I'm sorry, you two may be seated. The time for Zhang Da to show his mind was only an instant, and he reacted immediately, and asked Hu Wei and Bai Suxin to sit down.
Knowing each other's names, Hu Wei and Bai Suxin sat opposite each other. Although Zhang Dabiao has not received business for a while, he still knows how to deal with customers. As the so-called etiquette is not strange, before anything has been discussed, refreshments and snacks have already been placed on the table.
"Hu Gongzi, Bai Girl, please use flowers, this is the flower tea of Yuping Mountain, I don't know if it fits the taste of the two. "The door-to-door business can't let it run, Zhang Dabiao has invested enough money this time, and even took out his most cherished tea.
Hu Wei smiled: "Boss Zhang is really polite. The tea of Yuping Mountain is famous all over the world, how can it be bad. ”
A light product, Hu Wei couldn't help but be moved.
Zhang Dabiao is dozens of years old, and when he saw Hu Wei's reaction, he knew what he had discovered, and couldn't help asking: "Hu Gongzi, is there something wrong?"
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's strange." I heard that even the people in the palace like this jade screen tea, but this tea seems to be better than the one in the palace. ”
Zhang Dabiao's face turned pale and said, "Hu Gongzi once drank the tribute tea in the palace. ”
Hu Wei will also realize that he said the wrong thing, Honda Guiyou has not been so popular in the past few years since the establishment of the Lin Gui Empire, if Zhang Dabiao has a hatred for Honda Guiyou, then this business is afraid that it will not be successful. People are emotional animals, as long as they don't like people and things, they will deny it. As long as it's a little sticky, he won't like it.
Hu Wei remedied: "That was a few years ago, I don't know each other, I am a little close to Queen Chen Mengjie, and I was fortunate to visit her old man in the palace." ”
Royal affairs have always been secret, what is the situation in Chen Mengjie's family, and how do ordinary people know about it. It's hard to say that even ordinary people can't figure out how many people they have brought relatives. ...,
Zhang Dabiao was relieved when he heard Hu Wei's words. Hu Wei guessed correctly, Zhang Dabiao really doesn't like Honda Guiyou very much. A few months ago, the tax collector came to collect taxes, and his quartet mule and horse shop was already out of business, but the tax collector still had to collect heavy taxes from him, almost making him jump into the river. After that, it took a lot of connections to settle this matter, just imagine how he liked Honda Kameyu.
Zhang Dabiao said proudly: "This shouldn't be said nonsense, but since Hu Gongzi asked, and Zhang knows a little bit about it, he might as well tell Gongzi about it, but let's just say it, it's not good to spread it." ”
Hu Wei just asked casually, I didn't care if there was an answer, seeing that Boss Zhang really knew about it, it was nothing to listen to.
Bai Suxin glanced at Hu Wei, pursed her lips and did not speak. What kind of young marshal is Dao Huwei, he doesn't even know this bit of common sense. Tribute, in the eyes of the common people, it must be the best, theoretically speaking, that is also the case, but in fact, it is not the case at all.
The first condition of the tribute must be large and stable, whether it is flowers and leaves, or anything, it must be sold in large quantities. The tribute is not for the emperor alone, how many people are in the three palaces and six courts, and how many people are rewarded to the ministers if the palace is happy.
Just like this jade screen tea, the best is just an annual output of more than 100 catties, such a small amount of the emperor is not enough for a month, if he likes this tea and is addicted, then what will he do for the next half a year?
You sue the emperor for being gone, please be early next year?
If it's a reasonable emperor, it's okay to say, but if you meet an unreasonable emperor, then you have to wait for death. The palace is rich all over the world, what do you want, and if you want to drink some tea, you actually sue him for nothing?
"So that's the case, and it seems that this tribute is also learned. Hu Wei listened to Zhang Dabiao's explanation, and then understood the relationship. He really didn't know there was such a thing before.
Zhang Dabiao said with a smile: "The things in this world, that one is not a coincidence, it's just that I usually see too much and don't think it." Yes, after gossiping for a long time, I forgot to ask, I don't know what kind of object Hu Gongzi wants to pull when he comes to find Xiao Ke?"
"Hmm. Hu Wei glanced at Bai Suxin, from the previous observation now, Hu Wei can be sure that this Zhang Dabiao is very affectionate towards mules and horses, so suddenly he said to him that he wanted to buy his shop, he was afraid that he would not be able to accept it. But they don't have much time this time, and Wang Yiwei's talk is afraid that no matter how slow it is, there will be an end one day, and then everyone's eyes will turn to Hu Wei's body again, and time waits for no one. In order to stiffen without starting, Hu Wei planned to let Bai Suxin talk about it first.
Bai Suxin is also a smart person, as soon as she saw Hu Wei's eyes, she understood what he was thinking, and secretly glared at Hu Wei, and then said: "Boss Zhang, we are not here this time to ask your bureau to pull things, but to have another business I want to talk to Boss Zhang." ”
"Another business?" Zhang Dabiao was a little stunned, what he did as a mule and horse dealer was the buying and selling of goods, and he didn't know anything except pulling goods, so where did he come from to talk about any other business.
Bai Suxin smiled lightly: "That's the case, when we split up, the lord gave us a sum of money, and I discussed with my husband whether we could do it or not, so I wanted to open a deal by myself." ”
"Presumably Boss Zhang, you can also see that my husband has been pampered since he was a child, his limbs are not diligent and he does not distinguish between grains and grains, and he doesn't even know the quality of the goods. Thinking about it, I felt that the only thing I could do was to do this mule and horse. But we are not familiar with this industry, so we thought about whether we could have a ready-made store, so I came to bother you, Boss Zhang. ”
Bai Suxin said this very tactfully, but the meaning that needs to be expressed is already very clear, as long as you are not a fool, it is impossible not to understand. ...,
Zhang Dabiao said secretly in his heart: After talking for a long time, it turned out that he was here to the store.
The business of the mule and horse shop has been really bad in recent years, and it can be said that it has been putting money into it every day. But it has been five generations since the store was passed into his hands, and he has never had the intention of selling the store out.
Bai Suxin said very politely, even if Zhang Dabiao didn't want to buy it, he couldn't be too hard, thought about it, and said: "This girl, I won't tell you, my store is handed down from my ancestors, although the business is not very good now, but I don't want to sell him out." ”
Hu Wei said: "We also know Boss Zhang's considerations. The ancestral things, this is sold casually, but it's not so good. If it's me, I'm definitely not going to sell it. ”
Bai Suxin listened to Hu Wei's words on the side, and almost didn't smoke Hu Wei with a big mouth. Is this talking about human words, you are here to sell the store, but this will make people not sell, isn't this sick?
Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said, "What Gongzi Hu said is true." Alas, it is said that it is not for sale, but it is not so easy to support it. I have a thousand mules and horses, more than 600 cars, and this daily expense is a lot of silver, and now the situation is so chaotic, I really don't know when it will get better. Zhang Dabiao didn't see that Hu Wei was here to ask for goods, and he didn't care about saying what was in his heart, anyway, he didn't think about selling this store, everyone was just chatting casually.
Bai Suxin was happy on the side. The heart says that this is a fool. Those who came to the store asked people not to sell the store, but the one who opened the store told the people that the store couldn't do it. It's all called something.
Hu Wei nodded and said, "This world is really bad." Alas, this is why my wife is afraid of sitting and eating, so she has to come out to talk about buying and selling, if it were me, I would not do anything to sell and buy. Boss Zhang, don't like to listen to it, just your mules and horses, people don't eat, mules and horses can't be hungry, and a day's forage is all money. Sitting at home or sitting on the mountain empty, as soon as this mule and horse line takes over, then if you don't sit, I will be empty. Don't say that I don't have a store in my hand now, and I'm going to sell it out. If you have a business and a door, it's a big deal to wait for the world to get better, and I don't know how good it will be to start anew. ”
"It's a shame that you don't go into business. The word profiteer is talking about people like you!" Bai Suxin glared at Hu Wei angrily, his face full of unhappiness.
The pale red long skirt, the apricot eyes and red lips under the sea are a little bit flowing, and the thin and angry look is indescribably pretty, Rao is used to seeing the worries of beautiful women, which will be a little dumbfounded.
Hu Wei just pretended to say that he did not agree with the store, and talked to Zhang Dabiao about the disadvantages of opening a store. Zhang Dabiao still wanted to stick to the foundation left by his ancestors at first, but after listening to Hu Wei's words, the more he listened, the more afraid he became, where is this guarding the family business, it is simply a loser.
Thinking about it left and right, Zhang Dabiao felt that Hu Wei's words were very reasonable, this business couldn't be done, so why bother. I have someone who has a way, why not when the situation is good, now I have reopened a new store, as long as I still use the brand of this Quartet mule and horse shop, then I will not protect the foundation of my ancestors.
In the end, it became Zhang Dabiao begging for Bai Suxin's plate shop and Hu Wei was worried about opposing the plate shop on the side. The result, of course, was that the smart businessman Zhang Dabiao successfully sold the store out, and Hu Wei, who was 'afraid of his wife', ate the dead cat under the coercion of Bai Suxin.
Hu Wei said with a smile: "You can't say that, what I said is the truth, Zhang Dabiao may be grateful to me now." ”
The mule and horse shop successfully won, and Hu Wei's mood was also quite good. But he also knew that this was only the first step, and the next road was more difficult to walk step by step, and if he was a little careless, he would have to throw his life into it.
The opponent is Honda Kameyu. Hu Wei has been mixed in the Tianfeng Continent for so many years, and the only person who has no certainty to deal with is this Honda Kameyou. If it were someone else, Hu Wei could still use assassination to deal with this Honda Guiyou, and Hu Wei knew that he would never use this trick. ...,
Back then, Hu Wei and Ouyang Hanbing just glanced at Honda Guiyou from a distance, and immediately let him sense it, and then sent someone to search, causing Ouyang Hanbing to almost get sick because of cold water during menstruation, and almost didn't die.
Before coming to the Lin Gui Empire, Hu Wei asked Lin Zhengfeng about Honda Guiyou. Honda Guiyou used to be An Rong's military advisor, and in terms of familiarity, Lin Zhengfeng is more familiar than Hu Wei.
When it comes to this Honda Kameyou, Bian Lin Zhengfeng, the former master, has an ugly face. That is, Lin Zhengfeng said it himself, and Hu Wei only knew. When Honda Kameyu left Anrong, he emptied Anrong's treasury. Otherwise, An Rong would not have been so poor for so many years.
Honda Kameyou took the initiative to leave Anrong, which was a great thing for Lin Zhengfeng. Lin Zhengfeng himself admitted that if it weren't for Honda Guiyou's idle Anrong being too small, and he didn't take people away as himself between several powerful countries, Lin Zhengfeng, the emperor, really had no way to take him.
Now that Honda Guiyou has mastered the Lin Gui Empire, one of the seven powers, and the power in his hands is more than ten times greater than when he was in Anrong, it is really not easy for Hu Wei to deal with him.
"Is Honda Kameyu Japanese?" Bai Suxin instinctively asked when he heard the name.
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "You have been in the Heavenly Wind Continent longer than me, so you don't need to ask me this question." ”
Bai Suxin rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I know that the Tianfeng Continent is different from our world, but with the technology of the Japanese people, it is not impossible for them to come here." ”
"Huh?" Hu Wei had never thought about this question. It is said that they can come to the Tianfeng Continent, why can't the Japanese people come.
Carefully recalling in his mind what he knew, Honda Kameyu, for a while, Hu Wei shook his head and said, "This possibility should not be very big." At least I haven't heard anything like it other than him. ”
Bai Suxin smiled: "Even if that's nothing, it's still difficult to deal with, no matter where he comes from, isn't it?"
"Hmm. Hu Wei nodded. The most important reason why he judged that Honda Kameyu was not a traverser was because no one else in the Heavenly Wind Continent had made a weapon that did not belong to this era except him. That's all there is to it.
Hu Wei was initially preparing to buy three or four mule and horse shops, but after seeing the scale of the four mule and horse shops, Hu Wei decided not to buy other mule and horse shops. The tree is big and attracts wind, and in a short period of time, it is suddenly bought by several mule and horse shops, for fear that it will attract the attention of people with intentions.
Because the mule and horse shop mostly adopts the employment system, the carriages and horses are their own, and the workers are temporarily invited, the current business is not very good, Zhang Dabiao here in addition to more than 100 headers, there are not too many miscellaneous people. In two or three days, they can move out completely and vacate the space.
Hu was so worried that he didn't care about whether they could move or not, all he wanted was mules, horses and carts, but Zhang Dabiao didn't move, and Hu Wei was not easy to move. We'll have to wait until they're all gone.
Regarding the question of the header, Zhang Dabiao is most worried. Whether a mule and horse shop can do well, in addition to needing a good boss, the most important thing is the header. The Tianfeng Continent is very large, and no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to know all the places. There is a map, but how can anyone know the map, those who do the masthead, is the road guide, they know which road is easy to walk, which road is not easy to walk, and even some of the headers have a friendship with the green forest heroes on the road. With them, the goods will not have problems on the road.
It took several generations of mules and horses in the Quartet to accumulate more than 100 heads, and what he was most worried about before was that Hu Wei even wanted the heads, and then saw that Hu Wei didn't mention it, and he couldn't help but feel strange in secret. suddenly thought that Hu Wei had just entered the industry, and he was afraid that he didn't know the importance of the header, so he hurriedly urged the following move. He still has to take the opportunity to reopen the mule and horse, and he would rather keep those heads for nothing than hand them over to Hu Wei. In this way, everything that would have taken three days to move was emptied in one day. ...,
"It's really clean. Hu Wei saw that there was not even a piece of grass left in the yard of this nuotou, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He couldn't have known the importance of headers, but it didn't work for him. Before, he was still thinking about how to deal with Zhang Dabiao mentioning this matter, after all, it is not possible to drive a mule and horse without a header, this is a ready-made one, and it is not necessary. Zhang Dabiao didn't mention it, so he naturally didn't mention it, but he didn't expect it to help him.
"Young Master, will this be ours from now on?" Zhebei looked at the Sanjin compound behind Hu Wei. There is a mountain behind this yard, and there is a natural pond where thousands of mules and horses can be raised.
Hu Wei couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Zhebei, compared to a country, this is nothing. He couldn't figure out what Jebel was so happy about.
Seeing Zhebe's happy appearance, Hu Wei couldn't help but smile and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you after I use it here." ”
"Really!" Zhebei was overjoyed, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, this is the young master's, how can you give it to me." ”
This time, Hu Wei was stunned. Jebel had been with him for so long, and he had never found anything that Tebabe particularly liked. Even the Imperial Palace Jebel didn't go less, and those splendid buildings, Jebel never moved.
Just said that giving this place to Jebel was just a joke, but now Hu Wei is serious. Jebe has been by his side for more than ten years, and now that Hu Wei thinks about it, he really hasn't given Jebel anything. Although Zhu Daneng and Hou San have not given anything, they are released officials, and they are the number one in their own division, and they all have a share in the war products that they usually get back from fighting, and when it comes to wealth and nobility, they are no worse than Hu You. And Jebe has always been by Hu Wei's side, and has never taken anything except for the monthly stipend.
"Jebel, you've been with me for more than ten years. You have also suffered a lot after so many years of ups and downs, and this house is regarded as a gift from me. But don't be happy yet, if you want to move in, you have to protect me for ten years, and I'm not used to letting you go now. ”
"Young Master......" Tetsube suddenly wanted to cry. Hu Wei admits that he has not given anything to Zhebe, but in Jebe's opinion, Hu Wei has given her too much.
Back then, she disguised herself as a man and entered the barracks just to eat and eat, no friends, no care, nothing, just a large number of soldiers. It was Hu Wei who gave her the opportunity to become a guard. In fact, what Zhebei himself knows, except for loyalty, Hu Wei is much better than her in any aspect, and she is not qualified to be a guard, and sometimes even Hu Wei is protecting her.
It's not just Hu Wei, but also red leaves, Ximen Yufeng...... And so many people, she is illegal and good. They never treated her as a guard, but treated her as a family member, giving her the warmth of a family that she had never had, and being able to stay by Hu Wei's side, Jebel felt that this body was satisfied.
Jebe was fascinated by the house because her mother had described such a place to her. Her mother wanted to own this mansion with mountains and rivers, but she had never seen such a place until she died.
"Okay, that's it. I'll take care of that, you don't have to worry about it. Hu Wei patted Zhebei on the shoulder, it was rare to have something she liked, and a house was nothing.
Bai Suxin looked at this qiē from a distance, and waited for Zhebei to leave, before he came over and said, "I can't see that you are really good against your subordinates." ”
"She's not my subordinate, she's my friend, my friend who has lived for life. ”
"Young marshal, it has been calculated that three hundred vehicles will be needed to bring all our ground equipment. ”
"Three hundred, can't it be less?" said Hu Wei with a frown. A convoy of 300 cars, that's too eye-catching. ...,
"You can press out three or five more cars at most. But I'm afraid I'll break some items. ”
"That's not the best thing, it looks like we'll have to think of another way. Hu Wei pressed his forehead, it seemed that he still thought about things simply. I didn't notice that the equipment of 100,000 soldiers added up to a huge amount of money, and it was really a huge amount of transportation.
For most of the day, Hu Wei couldn't think of a good solution. Now that there are cars, mules and horses, and there is no shortage of people, there is only one excuse missing. What kind of excuse do you need to make people not suspicious?
In the empty hall, Hu Wei drank three pots of tea alone, and he couldn't come up with a fart. At this moment, Jebe hurriedly reported: "Young master, a team of officers and soldiers is coming towards us. ”
"Officers and soldiers?" Hu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that what Zhebei said should be Lin Guibing. In the Mandala Empire, the Immortal Bird Legion is an officer and soldier, of course he would not say that.
Could it be that Honda Kameyu is so powerful, and after only two days of hard work, he found that there is a problem here?
It's impossible, Lijiang City is still so far from here, and even if Honda Kameyu receives the news, it is impossible for him to move so quickly.
"Don't mess around, go see what they want to do. If they are here to fight the autumn wind, give them to them. ”
It is not good for magistrates to fight, but they have a hand in knocking on the common people. Hu Wei thought about it, and it was more likely that these officers and soldiers were using some name to extort money.
After a while, Jebel ran back in a hurry.
"Young master, they are not here to ask for money, they are here to ask us to help transport grain. ”
"No, drowsiness meets pillow. Hu Wei was stupid when he heard this. He was still thinking of an excuse before, and there were officials and soldiers here who wanted them to transport grain.
After sorting it out, Hu Wei planned to go and see it for himself. Before they could go, a dozen officers and soldiers had already broken in.
"You're the boss of this mule and horse shop?" a squad leader squinted at Hu Wei.
"Yes, yes, the Quartet mules and horses are time-honored. The little Zhang Dabiao has seen several military masters. Hu Wei turned his mind and directly turned himself into Zhang Dabiao. Jebel is also very eye-catching, and when he saw Hu Wei's eyes, he hurriedly served tea and snacks.
I'm afraid that the team is very tight, and they didn't say much about it, so they told the matter. 10,000 catties of grain will be transported to Shuicheng within ten days. The freight rate is similar to not giving, if it is really Zhang Dabiao here, I am afraid that the catastrophe will fall from the sky, and it is really a great thing to change Hu Wei.
Hu Wei patted his chest and said, "Master Jun, please rest assured, this is an ancestral business, and it must be done well." ”
Sending away this group of guys who are not soldiers and bandits, Hu Wei was so happy that he almost didn't kill the chicken, with this 10,000 catties of grain in hand, isn't there a reason. As long as the text of customs clearance is slightly changed, let alone 300 cars, even if 300 lines are added, it is a valid reason.
The only pity is not to send it to Lijiang City, but it's nothing, Shuicheng is only more than a hundred miles away from Lijiang City, or else, change the text again? Hehe, Honda Kameyou, you just wash your ass and wait for the tyrant chrysanthemum.
