Chapter 120: After the incident, the trace was found
"So, shopkeeper, please give us a price and we can sign a contract." Jiang Yang made the first move.
As soon as this statement came out, the shopkeeper of Changdong Trading Company was a little undecided.
To be honest, they want to raise the price and make more money. After all, businessmen only pursue profits.
But Jiang Yang's words reminded him again that the situation of Changdong Trading Company in Beihai County was well known to everyone. If he failed to negotiate this business.
On the contrary, you will lose a friend and provoke Xia Mi County to join the team that suppresses you, which is not worth the gain.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "The county magistrate is just joking. I am a businessman. It is a great honor for you to come here in person. Since we are friends, how can I make random quotes?"
After thinking for a moment, the shopkeeper said seriously: "Sir, I have the goods...but I still need to tell you the specific situation."
After pouring a cup of tea, Jiang Yang listened quietly.
Although the iron ore is in the hands of Changdong Trading Company, it still belongs to the imperial court. Changdong Trading Company only mines it on its behalf.
As for why it did not fall into the hands of the Ministry of Household Affairs and be mined by refugees and civilians serving in the military, it only shows that the people behind Changdong Trading Company were indeed very powerful back then.
Closer to home, the iron ore mined by Changdong Trading Company can only be sold to the local government, and the other part must be supplied to the army.
In Beihai County, Changdong Trading Company needs to provide supplies to the county and the school captain.
"Even though the price they gave me was very low and there was no profit to be made at all, our Changdong Trading Company upheld its business reputation and remained as sincere as ever."
"But they have gone even harder and want to exploit us."
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's face showed a trace of anger. He slapped the table hard and looked at Jiang Yang and said: "They don't know our actual mining situation. I can show my sincerity to the county magistrate."
, as long as there are many, I will definitely order people to transport them quietly to Xiami County."
You know my difficulties, you also know my situation, and I have shown my sincerity. Now it is your turn.
Jiang Yang pondered for a moment and said: "The shopkeeper is also at risk, and I'm not a fussy person. Let's just follow the market price."
"Okay, okay." When the shopkeeper heard this, he naturally laughed and saw that the market price had far exceeded his expectations.
Jiang Yang was not the kind of person to be picky, so he took out a silver note worth one hundred thousand taels from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"Shopkeeper, this is the deposit. Someone will pay you for the subsequent settlement when you arrive in Xiami County."
The shopkeeper of Changdong Commercial Bank did not expect that Jiang Yang would pay the deposit directly, so he naturally swallowed his saliva and said: "Thank you for your trust, sir. Don't worry, I will explain it now. No accident, these two people will be able to transport the iron ore."
past."
You are a cheerful person and I am naturally the same. Happy people don’t leave ink.
Now that the matter was finalized, the two of them happily wrote and sealed a contract.
After the business was done, the two of them sat down together and chatted politely according to human courtesy.
On the way, Jiang Yang asked the manager of Changdong Trading Company about the officialdom of Beihai County.
After listening to what he said, Jiang Yang had some understanding of the officialdom of Beihai County.
For example, although the black man Colonel Zhenwei is only a seventh-rank official, he has real power in his hands and is of great importance in Beihai County.
Besides, there are six divisions under the governor of Beihai County, which are similar to the six divisions of the imperial court, and the people's hearts within them are also uneven.
After the two chatted, Jiang Yang gradually understood the officialdom of Xiami County.
Seeing that the sun was almost slanting, Jiang Yang said goodbye.
All the way to the door of the store, Jiang Yang turned around and said: "Shopkeeper, stay here, I will entertain you when we meet again in Mi County later."
"Okay, sir, walk slowly."
.....
On the way back, Jiang Yang felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have just given him one hundred thousand taels just to show his face.
Sigh, I wonder how many good things I can build in Xiami County with that one hundred thousand taels.
Grandma's fault, in the final analysis, it was still his own fault, and it was all his fault. If he hadn't paid attention to the system's rewards, he would have been awarded two identical half-points.
If you complete the system tasks carefully, you might be able to have a complete resource map of Xiami County, but it would be a waste of effort.
The more I think about it, the more I get a headache.
This system allows you to teach yourself, okay! I'll do it for you. Three of our own universities and six enlightenment schools are about to be built.
When I go back, I will invite four great scholars to come, even if I throw money at him!
OK! OK! The system has completed the task!
Forget it, it's your own body that is hurt by being angry. Jiang Yang just had a chat with the shopkeeper.
It is roughly estimated that these iron ores are enough to last Xiami County for a long time. Don't think they are just getting some secretly.
After all, it is an iron mine, and the size of Xiami County is not very large.
The most urgent needs at present are armor and roller skating iron.
When this busy period is over, we must come up with a new method, and we cannot continue like this.
After thinking about it all the way, Jiang Yang simply walked towards the inn without taking the carriage.
On the second floor nearby, several soldiers were drinking.
The shopkeeper on the side bent down and said: "Master Jun, do you think this account is..."
"Go away! Master, I don't know how to pay for drinking." One of them said.
Another person walked directly in front of the shopkeeper and slapped him.
But as soon as he finished playing, he saw Jiang Yang's figure along the window, and his tone immediately changed.
"This...this...this is not that...that..."
"What is that? Did you make Widow Liu gag her? You can't even speak smoothly?"
"Captain, that man seems to be the magistrate of Xiami County. He actually came to the county seat!"
Having said this, all the soldiers at the table stood up and looked along the window.
The captain immediately sobered up half of his wine and said coldly: "That's him. Let's go back and report it to the captain."
Jiang Yang didn't know all this and returned to the inn early.
"Sir, when will we set off back tomorrow?" Shi Gaofeng thought that the matter had been resolved and it was time to go back.
"There's no rush." Jiang Yang took off his shoes, soaked in the footbath, and said slowly: "Why are you so anxious to go back? Why is Beihai County not as lively as Xiami County?"
"It's lively, but this is not home after all." Shi Gaofeng was speechless and asked, "Do you have anything else to do tomorrow?"
"Of course there is." Jiang Yang said casually: "It's hard to come to Beihai County. Why don't you pay a visit to the county governor? Otherwise, I will be said to be rude."
Jiang Yang also had another idea in his mind, which was to take a good tour of Beihai County.
I have enough ideas in my mind, but I still don’t know which ones are needed. You can just take a look at how far contemporary society has developed, and then reform and innovate on your own.
