What Lu Fenghe thought of was, "How can Chenzhou be without tea? Even if we bring all this tea to Chenzhou in one boat, we won't be able to exchange it for much iron money. This is too slow."
Shen Ke was puzzled, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"
If you want the iron money of Shenzhou, it is impossible for Lu Fenghe to save much by himself.
At the same time, in order to deceive others, I couldn't just run to Chenzhou with the goods alone.
"Disrupting the market in Shenzhou from all aspects."
Shen Ke is a person who knows nothing about business. In his opinion, doing business is neither difficult nor difficult.
Merchant carrying goods through the streets is also called buying and selling, and selling goods to local merchants and even royal merchants is also called buying and selling.
But to talk about disrupting a place's business like this... Yun Danfengqing, Shen Ke, somewhat didn't understand.
Lu Fenghe had a rough idea in his mind, but he still had to think it over, so Lu Fenghe didn't say much. It would be easy if he knew what Shen Nanxun wanted to do.
"For tea, it's better to go directly to Ru River. There are no big ports along the way. You can sail day and night, which is faster. The iron money in Chenzhou has to think of other ways."
What Lu Fenghe didn't say was that even if he wanted to go to Chenzhou, he wouldn't go through the Bianhe River. He couldn't go anywhere along the Yingshui and Chenzhou River.
"There is one more thing, brother said...said..." Shen Ke was a little unable to speak.
"What's the matter?"
"Eldest brother said that the governor of Yingtian Mansion..."
"Oh, your eldest brother asked you to stop by and see Sister Fan?" Lu Fenghe instantly understood what Shen Ke was saying.
Shen Ke blushed and nodded.
"I have something I want you to bring to Sister Lian, so just stop by and look at each other to see if you can close your eyes."
Shen Ke breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he had something to deliver, his elder brother only asked him to go. He couldn't know that he would find Fan Jishi and say that he was here to see him, so he wouldn't be beaten out?
Sure enough, she has to be a sister-in-law, so it would be much easier if she had an excuse to send things.
Lu Fenghe asked about other things, "How long have you been in Piling?"
"I promised Brother Ba to take him to horse racing tomorrow. After my sister-in-law meets the person who came with me, I'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Lu Fenghe nodded, "That's alright. Try your best to go back to Kyoto to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you can't make it to Sister Lian's place, you can go there after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"If you have time, just take a look and don't stop."
Lu Fenghe suppressed a smile. This young man was prepared to look down upon him, but this matter was something he said would come true or not.
Lu Fenghe looked at Shen Ke, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that they were a good match.
After talking about the business, the two of them were speechless. Fortunately, Brother Bao came over after finishing his homework.
One afternoon was enough for Brother Bao to get to know Shen Ke, and Shen Ke took Brother Bao to the front yard again.
Lu Fenghe looked at everyone's happy Brother Bao. He must have been thinking about Shen Nanxun in his heart. Lu Fenghe faintly heard Brother Bao asking Shen Ke whether dad should use a knife or a gun.
Lu Fenghe sat for a long time, then thought about it and went to the front yard. At the moment, she didn't know who to discuss this with except Lu Balang.
"Why are you here again?" Lu Balang asked as he glanced at Lu Fenghe entering the study.
"Of course I have something to do and want to come to Bago for advice."
"No, don't ask me for advice. When will you listen? I can only clean up the mess for you."
Lu Fenghe smiled flatteringly, "Brother, don't say that. How could my sister not listen to you?"
"Then, be obedient, don't ask, and go back to sleep."
"elder brother!"
Lu Balang shrugged, "Look, you don't know how to listen. Tell me, what's going on?"
Lu Fenghe pouted, "Brother, you can't expect anything better from me."
"It's not my turn to come to the study to tell me anything good." Lu Balang didn't even raise his head.
Lu Fenghe stopped talking in circles with him, "Shen Nanxun wants the iron money from Shenzhou, and it's unreliable to just rely on me to transport tea."
Lu Balang finally put down his pen, "What do you mean? You want me to go to Chenzhou to help him rob it? It would be better for him to lead his own people to rob it with a higher chance of success."
Lu Fenghe glanced sideways at Lu Balang, "I'm talking to you about business."
"I'm not kidding. If you want to go faster, this is the fastest way."
"Look at what book is on your table, you said this." Lu Fenghe asked, pointing to "Dayong Tonglu" on Lu Balang's table.
Lu Balang glanced at Lu Fenghe sideways. The meaning is very clear. You also know that there is no point in asking me about this matter.
"Brother, tell me, how about we convince the second brother to move the fleet to the northwest? During this period of time, I discovered that whether it is Caobang or the fleet, they usually stop when they go north to Kyoto, but in fact they can still
Go a little further north, such as North Beijing Road, such as Yongxing Military Road..."
"Then what?" Lu Balang asked.
"Businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are accustomed to traveling by water. Wherever the waterway goes, they can do business. So further north, there are not many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. If the second brother's fleet goes north, the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will follow suit.
"
"You want to entangle a large number of Jiangnan merchants to do business in the north? Exchange the money from Shenzhou?"
Lu Fenghe nodded, "Brother really understands me. Not to mention anything else, even shipping and freight are paid with iron money, which is quite a lot of money."
"Can the second brother agree to collect the iron money, and then the iron will change hands and go to the northwest, and the second brother will be taking a boat and picking up people in vain?"
"How can that be possible? I used the money I earned in the border market to exchange with my second brother..."
"Sister, you haven't made any money yet."
"You will always make money."
"Then let's make money first. We haven't made any money yet, so we are just thinking about how to spend it all."
Lu Fenghe curled his lips and said nothing.
"Sister, please be more careful. You and Shen Dalang want to make peace. The money you earned is used to exchange iron for him. What are you trying to do?"
Lu Fenghe glared at Lu Balang, stood up and left. This man is really boring. Do you have to tell me clearly?
When Lu Balang saw Lu Fenghe was about to leave, he hurriedly chased him a few steps, "Okay, okay, it's useless for you to talk to me about this. It's too involved. You have to be able to pull the second and third brothers together to do this."
If you want to do something, maybe there will be a chance of success."
"This is your first time doing business. Have you really thought about setting up such a big stall? It's too adventurous. If the second brother and the third brother are involved, then ten percent of the Lu family's business will be involved.
We are seven or eight years old, we can’t just focus on Shen Dalang’s side.”
"I didn't ignore the Lu family." Lu Fenghe said.
"I know you haven't ignored the Lu family, but once this dispute arises, especially if it involves Tie, if it fails, the Lu family will have no way out."
This is indeed the case. On the surface, the Lu family claims to be a disciple of the academy, but the Lu family's last source of support is the business that is enough for the Lu family's children to survive.
If the Lu family's business was brought to light and a large amount of iron was involved, the risk would be too great for the Lu family.
The brother and sister stood under the corridor outside the study, looking at the camphor tree in the yard. Neither of them said a word. The whole Lu family was blocked. The stakes were too high.
