Chapter 268 Chen Wansan (Next)

The last sentence was purely bluffing, but it scared Shen Fu so much that he almost collapsed on the ground. You know, although this butcher Zhu is known as a Buddhist son, he has a group of glaring Vajras under his command. No one of the people who really offended him has ended up well so far.

"Of course, if it wasn't circulated from your Shen family, I wouldn't frame you." Zhu Chongjiu was not good at using the method of giving a sweet date, but with the remaining power of winning even the battle, the effect would be pretty good. "If you regret it now, I will just pretend that you have never said anything about your previous words. As long as the price is reasonable, I will let Huaiyang merchants buy all the food. When you go back, you want to get silver ingots or glass, cement, etc. You will talk to the merchants yourself, and I will never interfere."

"Why don't you thank the general manager quickly." Before Shen Fu responded, Shi Nai'an stepped forward and pushed him hard, and loudly knocked on the brick and nail corners. No matter whether the transaction was successful or not, he had to save the damn guy's life first. Otherwise, his trip to Yangzhou would be ruined by Shen Fu, who was obsessed with money, but his future for his successful disciple Luo Ben would probably end here.

"Thank you, thank you for not killing the boss." Shen Fu was pushed forward and rushed forward, then touched the ground with his forehead and worshiped Zhu Chongjiu. "Shen has already thought it through. I will buy a house in Yangzhou City tomorrow morning, and then buy a few decent shops to specialize in managing grain. From now on, Chen will never leave Yangzhou City without the permission of the boss."

This guy really took his time. Shi Nai'an and his disciple Luo Ben looked at each other, shook their head helplessly, and stood in their positions. They couldn't figure out anyway. The bird man named Chen was obviously rich in the southeast, so why did he take such a big risk just to make tens of thousands of guan of copper coins? People in their sixties are in their sixties, what's the point of asking for so much money? The most luxurious family in Jiangnan now costs 100,000 guan a year. No matter how much it is, it's all a number. It's useless except for changing it to silver ingots piled up in the warehouse to grow hair. (Note 1)

Zhu Chongjiu's soul has experienced the baptism of another time and space world, so he became the person who can understand Shen Fu the most in the entire yard. Seeing that the latter insisted on using his body as a quality and exchanged the family for the right to purchase artillery, he was not very polite. He smiled and reached out to pull the person up from the ground again: "Since that's the case, this manager welcomes Brother Chen to Yangzhou for retirement. You don't have to just manage grain. In Huaiyang, all industries allowed by the government, as long as you can like it, even if you start, this manager promises that you will never look at your Shen family's business."

"Thank you for your care, the chief executive." Shen Fu shivered and wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked him loudly. He had only talked a few words, but he felt that all his strength was exhausted. All transactions in his life have never been more exhausting than this time.

"No need to thank you. This supervisor will treat all the vendors who dare to do business in Yangzhou equally." Zhu Chongjiu smiled and continued, "You don't have to limit your scope of activities to Yangzhou. If you want to go out of the city, say hello to the prefect and ask them to send someone to accompany you. In addition, if you have any other requests, you can also make it. As long as you can make the decision, this supervisor can reply to you in person today."

"Thank you, thank you, the Grand Chief Executive." Shen Fu heard this and quickly bowed again, then raised his head and said carefully: "The Grand Chief Executive, if all the 200,000 stone of grain are loaded with the Grand Chief Executive, it will be almost 150 ships. The grass people, the grass people are afraid that they will not be able to get so many ships in a while, so, can you ask the Grand Chief Executive to forgive me, change, change some of the lucky ships to load them."

"I was negligent." Zhu Bashiyi patted his head gently and apologized with a smile. He had been trying to get the ships from Shen Fu as soon as possible that both the inland river and the sea surface, but he forgot that the load of Arab ships in this era was far less than that of sand ships and blessed ships. "One hundred and fifty ships are indeed too difficult for you. In this way, for the first time, you will send me at least twenty Arab ships. Others, you will use your Shen family's cargo ship to unload the rice. Even though I pull the local cargo back, I will not leave any of them."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Shen Fu's waist was like a spring, constantly curved.

"Don't be busy thanking me for now." Zhu Chongjiu thought for a while and waved his hand gently, "If there is a suitable shipbuilder, I would like to ask your Shen family to help Zhu come here. This supervisor remembers a dock, which specializes in building such ships that can sail on the river and the sea. In fact, your Shen family can also come to Yangzhou to open a dock by yourself. As long as the ships built are solid and easy to use, this supervisor can buy them directly from your Shen family."

"The chief manager, the chief manager said that he wanted to buy warships from the Shen family." When Shen Fu heard this, he immediately ignored him and bowed again. He widened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Shen, Chen, Chen is just a merchant."

Since ancient times, the weapons of the government have been made by special workshops, such as military ordnance supervisors, etc. Not only are the materials provided by the government, but the officials at all levels are also served by officials, with all kinds of grades and unified salary. Whoever thought that merchants could complete the same task? Who would believe that merchants would also be credible and qualified to make weapons for the army.

"Of course, what's wrong." Zhu Chongjiu has always been out of the ordinary for his work. Today, his choice is the same. "Since the artillery can be handed over to the Huaiyang Trading Company, why can't the warship be handed over to your Shen family? As long as you can build a warship that satisfies the general manager, the general manager will acquire it at the price. If you dare to cut corners, the general manager will not be stingy to return the goods immediately. Anyway, your dock is built on Yangzhou Road, and the monk can't run away from the temple."

"Shen, Chen will send his dog to the south to gather people and open a dock on Yangzhou Road." Shen Fu knelt down without hesitation and announced loudly.

"Get up, get up, don't kneel down at any time. You don't feel tired. I'll help you." Zhu Chongjiu pulled Shen Fu up with force and joked with a smile.

"The Grand Chief, Grand Chief, Chen, Chen, if, if, in this life, dare to do anything, I am sorry for you, I will let the Shen family lose all their money." Shen Fu shivered and said incoherently, not because of fear, but because of excitement. Although the merchants in the Yuan Dynasty had a high status, they were all pigs raised by the government. If they wanted to kill and eat meat, they could use swords at any time. But for Zhu Chongjiu, he felt obvious differences, equality, and true equality, treating merchants, scholars, officials, and soldiers as the same people, rather than being labeled as alternative labels. While peeking at their wealth, they stepped into the mud pit.

"Working about business in business." Zhu Chongjiu patted Shen Fu's hand to show comfort, "Zhu doesn't ask you to be worthy of anyone, Zhu just asks you not to violate my Huaiyang rules while making money. You are a person with vision and should be able to see that I am different from other places. First, build the dock and grain shop. If you do it well, other new industries, whether glass or cement, will not be without opportunities to participate in the future."

"Sure, certain." Shen Fu held Zhu Chongjiu's hand impolitely, and refused to let go as if he grabbed a life-saving straw.

A man who is over 60 years old actually found that his heart was beating unprecedentedly light and brisk at this moment. Warships can be built, glass can be participated, and cement can be participated. As long as he abides by the rules of the Huaiyang area, the rules of the Huaiyang area seem complex on the surface, but in fact they are simpler than anywhere in the world. There are never any unspoken rules allowed. The Shen family will be directly supported by General Manager Zhu in the future.

This is a gain of ten times higher than what I expected, and it cannot make Shen Fu not feel excited. If he had known this, why would he have risked buying artillery? The Shen family supported the Liang family to establish a country overseas, just to be truly regarded as a human being, rather than treating it as a livestock that can make money and be slaughtered at any time?

"Hmm." Because of the old friend's servile appearance, Shi Nai'an coughed hard and interrupted with a smile, "Brother Chen is coming to Yangzhou this time. Just relying on these promises from the chief executive, your 100,000-stone old rice may have been made back with capital and profit. After leaving the chief executive, Shi must kill you well."

"Not stop, not stop." Shen Fu looked back at him and withdrew his hands, "That 100,000 stones of rice was given. When Chen turned around, he asked the dog to notify his family to ship it to deliver, in addition."

After thinking about it, he solemnly added, "In the future, as long as Chen bought the grain from Chameng and Dachen, he would ship it to Yangzhou at any time. The price would definitely not be higher than that of Huaiyang Trading Company. I don't believe that those black-hearted guys who resell grain can eat all the food in Nanyang."

This is like Zhu Chongjiu showing his strength. With the ability of the Shen family and his friendship with heroes along the coast, he overturned all grain merchants on Yangzhou Road to the ground. It was easy to get out of control. He didn't even have to go to Chameng to buy rice. He directly transported the southern government from Wanhu Fangguzi to Dadu by sea from the Yuan Dynasty. He "borrowed" a batch to secretly transported it to Yangzhou. Then he found a way to use Chameng rice to make up for the deficit. Anyway, no one could tell the strict time for sea transportation. In order to protect himself, Fangguzi transported rice for the imperial court, and he always kept flowing slowly and refused to transport all the grain consigned by the government to the port in Zhigu at one time. (Note 2)

Note 1: The purchasing power of copper coins in ancient times was very high. In the article, the price of rice in Jiangnan was only 300 citrus per stone. In the early Ming Dynasty, due to the recovery of productivity, copper coins of 300 citrus could be bought for 2.4 citrus, and almost one cent could buy a pound of rice. Therefore, the value of a penny is equivalent to about three to five now.

Note 2: Fang Guzi is Fang Guozhen, one of the first green forest heroes who revolted, and later accepted the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty and transported thousands of households to transport the grain. The left prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. During the peasant war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he relied on his maritime merits that the large capital of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty was not troubled by food shortage. In the end, this person was surrendered by Zhu Yuanzhang and was idle in Nanjing until his death. Because he had no ambitions and decisive surrender, he did not let the coastal people suffer too much of the suffering of war. Zhu Yuanzhang respected him very much and went to pay tribute to him and asked Song Lian to write an epitaph for him.
