Jubao Trading Company, the black flag hung in front of the building. Now the trading company has changed into a different look. It is a series of buildings with high walls built outside. Looking from a distance, I don’t know if I thought it was a building.
In Wengcheng, there are roads extending in all directions along the outside of this trading house. Many buildings have been started beside the road, and many shops have opened. They surround this trading house and radiate in all directions.
Nowadays, there is a lot of people here, because the trading house is preparing to ship goods for the first time, but this time the scale is really not small. The sea route will have to wait until next spring for the time being, firstly to wait for the monsoon, and on the other hand to wait for the Lianzhou shipyard
We are also rushing to build a cargo ship. Now we can only go to North Korea first.
, outside the customs and other places. But even so, the scale of the goods shipped this time is unprecedented. It is said that the mules and horses used have more than 10,000 people. In addition, there are thousands of guards. This huge team, the goods required
It is so huge that tens of thousands of pieces of silk alone are needed, as well as various kinds of raw materials.
There are countless silks, tea leaves, and pottery. The trading house has posted notices at the Jubao Building to purchase the required goods in large quantities. Many merchants can't help but get excited. Now there is another shipment of Ming Dynasty's goods.
Channels, this is a good thing for businessmen, now almost all
Merchants are expanding production on a large scale, but in order to ship goods to the trading house, it is certain to have a storefront here to display their goods, so the land near the trading house was sold out at once, and craftsmen were everywhere building shops.
, residence, inn, wine shop.
Liu Chengfeng arrived at the trading company in a carriage. Seeing the lively scene, he couldn't help but smile. When he got out of the car in front of the main gate of the trading company, he took a look at the trading company. The guard at the door saw Liu Chengfeng and hurried over with a smile.
Said: "Hello, Mr. Hou."
Liu Chengfeng ordered them: "Go and ask a few people to bring down my tribute. Oh, yes, call Mr. Li, Chen Qianhu, Wang Sili and several instructors and instructors to the Zhengqi Hall to talk.
, By the way, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived?"
The guard at the door said: "Your Highness will be coming later today, I will go and call someone right now."
Liu Chengfeng walked in casually. There were many merchants coming in and out of the business. They were all stunned when they saw Liu Chengfeng, but they did not dare to come near to say hello. In their opinion, Liu Chengfeng was an official and a marquis.
, he is just a lowly businessman, they don’t have the guts to say hello.
However, Liu Chengfeng plays an important role in the hearts of merchants. It may not have been obvious before, but this time Liu Chengfeng was imprisoned. At that time, Liu Chengfeng was taken to Shuntian Prefecture, and the entire capital market was in an instant downturn.
Many rumors spread that Liu Chengfeng was
Once it loses its momentum, the treasure house may also be in trouble. Therefore, many merchants were frightened. Those merchants who were crazy about buying goods also became cautious. Instead of hoarding goods, they liquidated a large amount of inventory. Suddenly, the price of goods plummeted.
, many merchants lost everything.
If Liu Chengfeng hadn't suddenly been released from prison later, not only was he not guilty, but he was also given an official position, which made the market suddenly pick up, Liu Chengfeng might not have felt it, but in the eyes of businessmen, his every move, personal honor and disgrace were all at stake.
It has become a barometer of the entire market and can even influence the prosperity and depression of the market.
Liu Chengfeng didn't think too much and went straight to Zhengqi Hall.
This Zhengqi Hall belongs to the side hall of Jubao Trading Company. The place is not big, with only a radius of twenty feet. It is also convenient for some of the leading figures in the trading company to discuss matters. The first person to come to this Zhengqi Hall was Liu Peng. Liu Peng is from Jubao Trading Company.
When the big shopkeeper heard that Liu Chengfeng was coming, he hurriedly came from the clerk's room on the side. Then other people came in in twos and threes and greeted Liu Chengfeng one after another.
Qian Fang and several coaches were the last ones to arrive. They came from the school ground. When Qian Fang saw Liu Chengfeng, he felt a little scared. Liu Chengfeng hadn't settled the matter with him last time. Now, Qian Fang
What he fears most is that Liu Chengfeng kicks him out of the business, and now he is training the student army.
Qian Fang has gradually entered the state, and gradually has some clues. Now he is sent to the border town to do guerrilla work, but he is afraid that he will not agree. Now, no matter how stupid Qian Fang is, he still knows that this student soldier
How great is the instructor's potential? If we ask him to give up now, he will never do it.
As soon as Qian Fang entered the Zhengqi Hall, he quickly fell to the ground and apologized to Liu Chengfeng: "Master Hou, the last general deserves to die, please punish him."
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Qian Fang solemnly and said, "Are you aware of your guilt?"
Qian Fang said: "I'm guilty."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Then tell yourself what crime you committed."
Qian Fang said: "The general can't tell the difference between the imperial court and the student army. The border town is a border town, and the student army is a student army. The border town has the rules of the border town, and the student army has the rules of the student army. No matter what it looks like outside, it's pretentious.
How about the ordnance provided by the bureau to the border town, but the student army
The supplies must be provided according to the rules of the student army. The general committed the crime of dereliction of duty and failed to strictly inspect the ordnance sent by the production bureau, which resulted in the general almost dying because of the shoddy muskets.
As an instructor, I am so embarrassed that I ask the Marquis to punish me!"
Liu Chengfeng snorted coldly, glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "Did you all hear what Qian Fang said?"
Everyone said together: "Master Hou, everyone heard it."
Liu Chengfeng stroked the case and said: "As long as you heard it, I will reiterate again, I don't care what it is like outside, whether it is the Beijing Guards, the border towns, or the guards in various places, I will not do anything.
No matter, I am only in charge of you. Whether it is a trading company, the Qianhu Office of Jubao Trading Company, or the student army, since they are all under my jurisdiction now, they must follow my rules. If anyone violates this rule
, I will never be lenient."
Liu Chengfeng closed his eyes and said immediately: "This time Qian Fang committed such a big thing. Originally, according to my rules, Qian Fang should be dismissed from his post and the Jinyi Guards would handle it. However, this time, I thought
The first time Qian Fang committed the crime, the second time was because the student army was about to engage in martial arts with the Wazi people.
, The student army is the time to employ people, so this time I will give you Qian Fang a chance to make meritorious service. If the student army wins this time, I will not pursue it. If it fails..." Liu Chengfeng said sternly: "
I won’t say anything then, just go wherever you come from.”
When it comes to this matter, he is really a bit ruthless. He claims that he has done meritorious service, but if he loses, he has to get out. Qian Fang has already been dismissed from his post. If he returns to the border town, the Ministry of War will not recognize him.
After leaving this business firm, I am afraid that I will have no choice but to become an ordinary citizen.
Qian Fang's face was full of bitterness, and he kowtowed heavily and said: "I will obey your orders!"
After Liu Chengfeng's treatment, everyone sitting in the righteousness hall was awe-inspiring. In fact, Liu Chengfeng usually treats people pretty well and never shows off to the people below him. But today, after such an incident, he
It made everyone terrified.
Liu Chengfeng immediately smiled and said: "Instructor Qian, please sit down and talk." Then he said to everyone: "Now that we have talked about it, I will simply tell you my temper. Normally, everyone does
Brother, to put it harshly, we are all grasshoppers on the same line. If you have relatives and friends who need to be taken care of, I can make it convenient for you. If you are a little tight, you can also come to me to spend some money.
you
No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will go through fire and water to help you solve your problems. Whoever is bullied, I will seek justice for you. But there is one thing you must remember. The reason why I do this is because I regard you as my confidant.
Friend. However, if the righteousness of a friend encounters the violation of my rules in official business, I will not be polite. Zhuge Liang did what Zhuge Liang did to kill Ma Di with tears, and I can do the same. Remember this sentence today, it will be useful to you.
!”
Everyone quickly said: "Yes."
Liu Chengfeng's tone became calm again, and he pressed his hands: "Okay, okay, I have said so many ugly things to you today. I think you all know the seriousness of this relationship in your heart. I won't say anything else. Today I am calling you
You are here because you have something to explain.
, as everyone knows, I was ordered to fight against the Wacian soldiers. This time, I was only allowed to win but not lose. Therefore, in the next few days, I will stay at the school field to practice, and I will not care about other things. So.
Well, there are some things that must be explained."
"The first thing is about the shipment of goods from the merchant. Shopkeeper Liu Da, has the date been set for the shipment?"
Liu Peng leaned forward and said: "Master Hou, the date has been decided. It is an auspicious day. At the end of this month, the caravan will start to set off and go directly out of the customs. Tatar, Wasi, Korea, Yilibali, Haixi
The Jurchen and other ministries have sent people to negotiate in advance, and they have approved our caravan's entry for trade."
Liu Chengfeng nodded, "Although the Waci and Tatars hate each other with the Ming Dynasty, Waci and the Tatars are short of supplies. If a caravan is willing to go at this time, they will definitely welcome it with both hands. As for some small tribes outside the customs,
There is no need to be afraid. The guards protecting the caravan along the way are enough to solve the problem. As long as the other party does not adopt a hostile attitude, it will not be a problem.
As for North Korea, the Haixi Jurchens are still in charge. These are relatively honest vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. They have always been very obedient, so they are not afraid of any problems.
Liu Chengfeng said: "The first time you take out the goods, you must prepare well. If you do it this time, the future business will be smooth. You can't go empty-handed when you come back. In addition to bringing back gold and silver, you can also buy some North Korea."
Ginseng, Haixi Jurchen leather goods, tiles
The Tatars bring back their cattle and sheep. It costs money to go there, and you have to earn money to go back. However, if you take goods overland, the profit will not be ridiculously high. The most important thing is to exchange what you have. If you really want to make a profit, you still have to make money.
We have to rely on sea route, so shopkeeper Liu has to worry about this matter."
Liu Peng said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, the villain has been preparing for several months and nothing will go wrong."
