Borrowing the name Ping Jian was not Xiaobao’s impromptu idea.

First of all, he can't go around in the name of Chu Qing and bring trouble to his mother.

When he came to Jiangnan, he realized that his mother was not only well-known to everyone, but was at least well-known in the business circle. Of course, it was not a good reputation. Who made her mother suppress the price of silk?

What made her mother most famous was cotton.

Jiangnan has a history of experimenting with growing cotton. Young people may not know it, but older people all have this memory, especially farmers, because it is a memory that makes them hungry.

Grain fields were converted into cotton fields without any output, and the losses were eventually passed on to the wealthy families. Farmers were the only ones who could not afford to eat.

Nowadays, ordinary people know that cotton can not only be grown, but also make money, and it was created by a female agricultural official. Although her name is unknown, everyone knows that there is such a person, and she is considered a household name.

Secondly, borrowing the name of Ping Key is also a test of Ping Key.

It should be said that Xiaobao is not completely confident about the flat keys.

Just imagine, a person can open a shipyard and a escort agency within a few years without causing too much trouble. Is it credible to say that this person has no ability at all?

However, Yu Chaoyi did not go into detail about Ping Jian, and Ping Jian himself kept silent. It was not easy to understand the depth of this person.

If he is willing to let Xiaobao borrow his name, it at least shows that he is capable of handling some minor troubles, or that he at least shows that he is sincerely cooperative.

"Master Guan's surname, and the two orphans actually have their own names, that means they already have memories when they were adopted by King Thousand Machines," Xiaobao said to Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining privately.

Xiao Sining: "To have memory, you have to be over three years old. You have to know something."

Xiaobao thought about his own experience, and it seemed that he could go back earlier if he had memories.

"You guys should try your best to inquire and see what you can find out before others find out." Xiaobao instructed.

"Qian Dashun" and "Qian Ershun" nodded and took note, and then suggested: "Sanshun, the escort agency's store has been reorganized, let's go and take a look."

Now that Sanshun Escort has changed its surname, it will naturally be different from the past.

After ten days of overtime repairs, the escort agency now looks much better than the simple style before.

I saw four big characters on the plaque at the entrance of the main hall: "Zong He Tian Xia"; a pair of brand-new couplets with gold characters on a black background were planted on both sides. The upper couplet said: "Business is prosperous from all directions and connects the world"; the second couplet said: "Circulation resources flow from five continents."

"It's so lush that it reaches three rivers."

It can be said that there is a strong business atmosphere.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, on the weapon racks on both sides of the courtyard, there are spears, halberds, sticks, axes, forks, boring bars, hooks, spears, daggers; knives, swords, crutches, axes, whips, maces, hammers, sticks, and pestles; nine long

Nine short weapons and eighteen kinds of weapons are neatly arranged on it, gleaming with cold light.

It can be said that the value of force is obvious.

On the wall of the left courtyard, the twelve-movement reliefs of the Yijin Sutra of Bodhidharma are outlined with gold paint, and the names of the moves such as "Wei Tuo Presents the Pestle" and "Cross Arm to Subdue the Demonic Pestle" are written vigorously.

In Buddhism, which was not prosperous in Daxuan, this kind of martial arts was not widely spread, but Sanshun Escort actually carved the "Yi Jin Jing" on the wall and advertised it widely, highlighting the agency's strength and not being afraid of being coveted by the world.

On the right side of the courtyard wall is a relief picture of "Ancient Eight-Duanjin", which spreads the method of health preservation. It not only demonstrates the force of the escort agency, but also adds a sense of intimacy.

Enshrined in the main hall is a full-length statue of Guan Gong in a standing posture: the red phoenix eyes are half-downcast, not angry and self-powerful, the temples are two feet long, the lips are greased, and the appearance is dignified; highlighting the divine power, martial arts, elegance and literary temperament.

The Yanyue Sword is swung downwards with smooth lines, and the green dragon on the blade is vivid and majestic.

This portrait of a general not only ensures safety but also ensures wealth. It can be said to be the embodiment of "grasping with both hands, both hands must be strong".

During this time, everyone who was doing business in Nanping County knew that the young master of the Sanshun Escort Agency came here to "visit relatives".

People who come to Sanshun Escort Agency to do business will always see a tall and thin boy, wearing a student robe, following two big brothers, looking very shy.

"Young Master, this is the manifest of goods to be sent to Kyoto. Take a look." Yu Chaoyi came over with a stack of paper, followed by a man dressed as a butler.

Chu Yuan took the bill of goods and saw that it said "Today there are one thousand pieces of Tushan black-glazed porcelain..." He couldn't see anything, so he asked: "What's the problem?"

Yu Chaoyi said with some hesitation: "It is required to be transported to Kyoto in one month. The time is too tight. We need to go by water first and then by land. The road is bumpy, but a thousand pieces of porcelain have different patterns, and each one is different.

No damage allowed..."

It takes forty days to get to Kyoto from here. The water route is faster than the land route, but no matter how fast it is, you can't fly!

Besides, none of the porcelain should be damaged. This requirement is a bit too much. We have to be fast and we don't accept losses. Isn't this just letting the horse run and not letting it graze? Aren't they ready to stock up on replacements?

Chu Yuan looked at the payment method: cash on delivery. This is really embarrassing.

Xiao Sining was looking at the appendix of the goods list. On it was the name of the porcelain. In addition to the plates, there were also tortoise shell glazed teapots, rust flower vases, rabbit hair glazed tea cups... there were many varieties.

This is a piece of goods that is not heavy but takes up a lot of space. It is afraid of being shaken and bumped. If there is any loss, it will not only be a matter of non-payment, but also a high compensation.

"Sanshun, what do you think?" Chu Yuan looked at Xiaobao and asked who could take this job according to his wishes. Our family will not take it.

But it is obvious that Yu Chaoyi still values ​​the final price of this business.

According to the bill of goods, this batch of black-glazed porcelain is worth one million taels of silver, so according to the charging standards stipulated by the imperial court: "For every thousand taels of silver sent, a profit of four taels and five taels will be made. The amount of profit will be calculated based on the total amount." The escort agency will receive

The cost is four thousand five hundred taels.

This is indeed a big deal.

But the merchants said that if one piece is damaged, they will have to pay triple the compensation, because this batch of goods is going to the palace of a certain prince in Kyoto, so each porcelain is different, and it cannot be repaired no matter how much it is repaired.

If the same thing happens, they will bear the wrath of the Duke's government.

One thousand pieces of porcelain, worth one million taels, average one thousand taels of silver per piece, three times that is three thousand taels.

"No answer." Xiaobao said.

Xiao Sining and Chu Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

In their view, this kind of money is really hard to earn.

Boss Chu Qing has always done business with small capital and big profits. Look at this, not only does it require manpower and material resources, but it may also put your life in danger. The key is not making money!

The fastest round trip takes a month, and you can only earn 4,500 taels a month. For such a "squeamish" material escort, even if you break one plate, you will lose 3,000 taels. If you break two, not only will your efforts be in vain, but you will not make any money.

, and have to pay one thousand, five hundred taels.

Besides, he said it's worth a million, but it's a million? This is porcelain, not silver. It has a cost price and a transaction price. The price difference is so huge, why should the escort agency bear it?
