Fang Yingwu persuaded Mrs. Wang and Wang Kui, and went with them to Wang's house to see Wang De. On the way, Wang Kui took the initiative to chat with Fang Yingwu, and there were many things in his conversation.
The outsider wanted to inquire about the bill, and was obviously very interested.
In fact, the note equivalent to one thousand salts does not make Wang Kui fuss. Wang Kui is not someone who has never seen money. But the operation behind the note that Chaofeng is really interested in is not something that everyone can take lightly.
So he took the receipt from the border town for nothing and took it back to the province in his heart.
Fang Yingwu felt funny. The fish was about to come up before Jiang Taigong took the bait. He looked around and talked about him first to whet Wang Kui's appetite. Then he vaguely mentioned a few words about Governor Yang.
I also clicked on the Mihara Wang Family and others.
Hearing words such as governor, Miyuan royal family, and border market, and then hearing the process of turning silver into salt notes, Wang Kui was secretly speechless and fascinated in his heart. This is called business.
In the two years since I arrived in Hangzhou with my brother, I have doubled our family property. It should be said that the results are extremely good. But compared with what Fang Yingwu said, the layout is one level behind, and it is still limited to small business operations.
!Businessmen who can combine government and business are the real business!
Not long after, they arrived at the Wang family's residence outside Wulin Gate. With Mrs. Wang and Wang Kui leading the way, they entered the hall unobstructed without any need to report.
When Wang De came out, Mrs. Wang went to greet her first and complained dissatisfiedly: "Father! You have wronged Brother Qiu again. This time the matter really has nothing to do with Brother Qiu!"
Wang De snorted coldly and scolded his daughter: "You know people, faces but not hearts. You are still very young. What do you know?"
Now even Wang Kui was dissatisfied, frowning and admonishing: "Brother, you are too stubborn. How is this different from slander? I really cannot agree with you."
Wang De saw his daughter and his clan brother, the two closest people to him, go out for a trip, and when they came back, they all came to Fang Yingwu, an outsider, to argue with him. He was almost blowing his beard and staring.
Fang Yingwu didn't want to waste time and said straight to the point: "For the sake of my fellow villagers and neighbors, I can help you solve this matter. But after the matter is over, I will use your Wang family's place, and you will also help me."
One or two.”
When Wang Kui heard this sentence, he thought of the note of one thousand salt notes that needed to be cashed, and couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and he guessed the meaning of Fang Yingwu.
Could it be that Fang Yingwu relied on his status and didn't want to take care of these mundane affairs himself, so he wanted to find someone to cooperate? Then it was for this purpose that he frequently tolerated Wang De?
Wang De still couldn't trust Fang Yingwu, he was suspicious in his heart, and said neither salty nor cool, "Young Master Fang's words are serious, our Wang family can't do anything to help you."
Fang Yingwu was already extremely impatient. In his eyes, Wang Dahu was ignorant. He raised his voice a few degrees, as if he was scolding and said: "Among the fellow villagers, who doesn't help each other? But you are the only one who can guard against thieves.
Just be on guard!
For the sake of my father and your childhood social studies classmates, I will call you Uncle Shi again! But from now on, you can retreat to the backyard to live your life, or you can go back to your hometown. Don't know what to say anymore!
"
Fang Yingwu finished speaking angrily, feeling that his words were strange and overbearing, as if he was forcibly occupying other people's property.
He quickly added a few words, "Your property is naturally in Sister Yu's name, and Wang Kui is naturally responsible for the management of affairs. Both the owner and the shopkeeper are named Wang, so you don't have to worry about anything!"
Seeing that her father was still pushing Fang Yingwu outwards, Mrs. Wang became anxious and said to Wang De: "Father, you are too confused. How can you talk like this? Are your good intentions just like the heart of a donkey?"
Feeling that he was being besieged by his daughter and outsiders, he was the head of the family and was now alone. Wang De was a little angry and couldn't help but look at his younger brother Wang Kui, but Wang Kui turned his head and looked outside, as if he had heard nothing and heard nothing.
See.
No one came forward to help, and Wang De was so angry that he had nothing to do. After a while, the other party had to respond: "If this matter really has nothing to do with you, of course my Wang family will not be unreasonable."
"I hope you can really understand!" Fang Yingwu said mockingly: "I will visit the guarding eunuch tomorrow. After the matter is settled, you have to come forward to dispel the rumors. Don't let the ignorant people think that I bully men and dominate women, and bring your Wang family into disrepair."
How's it going?"
Hearing the words "bullying men and dominating women", Mrs. Wang's face turned red for no reason, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but imagine, if Brother Qiu really came to rob someone, would she obey or not?
What about resistance?
Then Fang Yingwu left the Wang family, and Wang Kui sent Fang Yingwu outside the gate. Thinking of Fang Yingwu's hint of cooperation, Wang Kui was itchy for a moment and couldn't help but put forward his own opinion: "Actually, you don't have to cash in for salt.
And if you worry, you don’t have to invest too much energy in selling salt, it’s not cost-effective. Besides, all you earn is hard-earned money, and collecting salt money from various prefectures and counties is a trivial job.”
Fang Yingwu had always been good at areas in which he was not good at, so he immediately asked: "What do you think?"
“You just need to find a powerful businessman in the province and transfer all the salt to him at a fixed price, whether by selling or renting, and let him go to the salt farm to collect salt and distribute bulk salt.
Then you can use the cash to buy silk fabrics, transport them to the northwest, and entrust the Miyuan Wang family to sell them, so that you can get the maximum profit."
"Is this very profitable?" Fang Yingwu asked again.
Wang Kui analyzed: "The southeast is rich in silk fabrics. The silk that sells for one tael in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be sold for at least ten taels when shipped to the northwest. After excluding the cost, this is at least several times the profit. How can we not make money?
Moreover, if you can continue to exchange salt notes from the northwest and bring them back to Zhejiang, it will be another cycle of making money. This is a continuous road to making money."
Fang Yingwu imagined it in his mind. This was indeed a very grand trade route. It used salt bills as a medium to connect the southeast and northwest. It included grain, silk, salt and other major items. The profits were huge.
Metaphor.
According to the most ideal algorithm, seven measures of grain in the northwest can be exchanged for one salt coupon today. Suppose you can sell it for 2 taels in the southeast, then buy two pieces of silk, and then transport it to the northwest and sell it for 20 taels. Then you can exchange it for
The cost of making grain is about ten shi.
In one cycle, seven buckets turned into ten stones! After deducting various expenses, it was also a huge profit!
But this also relies heavily on the comprehensive strength of the northwest and southeast, and ordinary businessmen cannot do it. Even if they have the financial resources, they cannot open up these links without strong relationships, especially in the northwest towns.
But now he seems to be able to give it a try. Even if it doesn't last long, he can still make a lot of money as long as he does it for a few years.
After thinking about it over and over, he thought too much, so Fang Daxiucai couldn't sleep that night. The next day, Fang Yingwu didn't get up until three poles high.
According to the plan, he was going to visit the guarding eunuch today. Fang Yingwu was stunned for a while and felt a little more awake. Then he had a meal, then washed up and went out.
The residence of Eunuch Li, the eunuch who guards Zhejiang, is also in Xicheng, less than two miles north of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen. The five-bay gate is extremely spectacular, even grander than the front of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen. But it is very quiet in front of the door.
, several disciples were sitting on the benches chatting boredly.
If it weren't for the Wang family's affairs, Fang Yingwu wouldn't have set foot here, which would have harmed his innocence, but this time it was justifiable for the sake of his fellow villagers.
Fang Yingwu stepped up the steps, took out the post he had written yesterday, and handed it to the young disciple at the front, "Is Eunuch Li at home? Chun'an Fang Yingwu is here to visit!"
The young disciple took the post, but did not move or say anything. He only looked at it sideways. The meaning was self-evident - without a package, who would run errands and deliver letters for you?
The guarding eunuch of a province is equivalent to the governor in the civil service in the eunuch system, and he is indeed on the same level as the governor. His status in the local area is so high, so the door package for guarding the gate of the eunuch's mansion is definitely not cheap.
However, how could Fang Yingwu have the spare money to feed his disciples? He acted like a scholar and scolded: "Are you literate or not? Read the post for yourself, and then ask your master if he accepts the disciples' gifts!"
The young disciple pretended to pick up the post and read it under his eyes, then raised his head and sneered: "Is there anyone on the ground in Zhejiang who can be bigger than our Mr. Li?"
Fang Yingwu was speechless. He read the post upside down, which meant that he was clearly blind and illiterate, and he pretended to read carefully.
He really couldn't get angry with such a tired person. Fang Yingwu pointed to the three words on the post and said: "This word is 西, the west of Xichang; this word is factory, the factory of Xichang; this word is 王
. Read these three words together, do you understand?"
"Wang Xichang? I've never heard of such a person in Zhejiang!" The man turned around and shouted to the other two companions: "This is ridiculous, have you heard of him?"
Suddenly seeing the two companions standing up from the bench, the disciple was surprised and said: "Hey, why do you look so ugly?"
There is only one Wang in the world who can be associated with Xichang. The other two people quickly whispered a few words to the young disciple who answered the previous post. The young disciple immediately jumped up from the bench and entered the courtyard without looking back.
Fang Yingwu curled his lips, it was impossible that there was not a single sensible person among the eunuchs who were guarding the eunuchs. This young disciple at the front probably came in through the back door.
I don't know how much time passed, but another middle-aged scholar came out to greet him. He responded with courtesy and said: "Unexpectedly, my friend is here today. Please come in! Mr. Li is waiting inside."
Fang Yingwu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had previously judged that the guarding eunuch Li Yi was probably afraid of Wang Zhi, he was always worried until he saw it with his own eyes. Now that he saw this situation, he felt a little relieved.
Otherwise, with the dignity of the guarding eunuch, how can he meet you on the spot? If he is willing to send someone out to greet him on the spot and bring him in for a meeting, then he is already treated as a distinguished guest.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged scholar, Fang Yingwu entered a tall and spacious hall, where Eunuch Li was waiting at the main seat. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
