Jun Ruoxu and Kuang made preparations quietly and began to hide gold, silver and property.
The mother and son transferred their property like rats, but no one in the Jun family knew about it. They were all busy selling goods and were exhausted.
The secret guard reported the movements of the mother and son to Huo Xi. Huo Xi was just stunned. He wrote to Mu Yan to talk to Mu Yan. Mu Yan replied with three words: "Leave it to him." Huo Xi didn't say much.
Take care.
After a few days, the caravan that went to Xifan and the Western Regions finally returned.
The results are very good.
They blocked Jun's caravan in the customs, not only delaying their delivery, but also snatched their orders and exchanged the goods that were supposed to be delivered by Jun from Xifan and the nobles of the Western Regions to Guangfeng water.
.made a huge profit.
He also persuaded the tribes in the Western Regions to get all the goods originally intended to be traded with the Jun family into his own hands, and then signed a contract for the next three years.
When the goods outside the customs are sold within the customs, you can make another profit.
"Madam, this is really a relief! This time, we are making money at both ends! This batch of goods is large, I am afraid we can make hundreds of thousands of taels!" Gen Qi let out a filthy breath.
Guy Jun and Aunt Jun are plotting against the prince's life. They have no evidence now, so they can't do anything to them yet. Let's cut off their financial resources first and do it step by step.
Huo Xi flipped through the ledger and was a little surprised that there was so much profit from this trip.
Relying on the relationship with the Mu family, the Jun family made good friends with the nobles in the Western Regions, and they made expensive and expensive things.
Almost all of them are silks, satins, tea and porcelain that are favored by the nobles. These businesses are almost monopolized by the Jun family, and other merchants just follow them and share some soup.
For the goods sent to the west, Jun bartered with the other party, trading cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, as well as various furs, jewelry, medicinal materials and other items.
I make several trips a year.
During this trip just a few years ago, Gen Qi said that he could earn hundreds of thousands of taels, which shows how much the Jun family has accumulated over the years.
It seems that the current methods used to treat Jun's envoys are too gentle, which is far from enough.
"Let people spread the word that Jun is selling the goods in the shop at a discount. Then order people to keep an eye over there and report in time if there is any movement."
"Yes, I will order someone to do it immediately."
Soon the wind blew out. Jun's brought in a large amount of goods, and everyone was watching. When they heard that Jun's was going to sell it at a discount, usually several pieces of silk and satin could be bought for one or two taels. Who could do this?
wait?
From morning to night, the doors of Jun's shops were crowded with merchants and people who came to pick up leaks.
All Jun's shops were surrounded and could not even continue to do normal business.
"Let's go, don't block the door! We don't have cheap goods to sell!" The guys drove people away with big sticks.
Seeing a hundred people being pushed and falling to the ground, everyone was unhappy: "You obviously spread the word and wanted to sell goods cheaply to attract us, and yet you go back on your word. What's the point? You're just kidding!"
"When will we let out the news and sell goods at low prices?"
"Everyone in the city knows it!"
"Who told you, who do you want to go to?"
"Hey, your shop usually has eyes on its head, but now there are so many people coming, and you don't recognize them, how can you make sense!" Both parties were yelling at each other at the door, neither of them letting the other go.
Let the people in the city, merchants and colleagues see the excitement.
Business at other people's homes was booming, but people blocked the door of his own home and he couldn't even do business. Jun Xiangjie was furious at home.
He was getting older, had been angry several times, and almost had a stroke. He was lying on the bed cursing, who was cheating on him behind his back? Let him know that he would peel off his skin and beat his tendons! After scolding him for a few days, his throat was filled with tears.
I became hoarse and couldn't speak.
No one was in charge, and several concubines were working on their own. They were all thinking about how to divide the family's property if their father was gone. The clan members were also worried that they would not be able to get back the money they lent, so they came to visit them one after another with excuses, telling them openly and secretly about their family's livelihood.
difficult.
Jun Xiangjie vomited three liters of blood again.
I hurriedly summoned my aunt Jun for a discussion.
Aunt Jun was suspicious of this turmoil in her parents' family, but she found someone to keep an eye on Huo Xi for a few days and found nothing wrong. No matter it was those selling goods or those who came to ask for money, no one was related to her.
She is related.
But Aunt Jun knew that this matter had nothing to do with the prince and his wife.
"Qiluo, you are the only one who can save the family now." Mrs. Jun and his wife held Aunt Jun's hands and kept on, "Let Zhan'er help find out who is behind the scenes inciting the merchants to target our family, so that we can find a countermeasure.
.”
After Mrs. Jun finished speaking, she discovered that her precious grandson had gone to comfort the chieftain in various places and was not in the city. She secretly cursed why he was not here at this time.
The one who held Aunt Jun's hand was filled with snot and tears: "Qiluo, why don't you ask the Duke for help? Our family has a warehouse full of goods. If we can't sell them, we will lose a lot of money. In the future, we will lose a lot of money."
How can we gain a foothold in the city?"
How do the merchants view their Jun family? Once colleagues and merchants think that their Jun family is on the verge of exhaustion, how can they continue to do business in the future?
When doing business, reputation is very important. How about if many people are willing to make a fool of themselves and pretend to be fat?
Only by standing firm can we make a comeback.
"Father and mother, I still have some money in my hand. You can use it first. For the goods in the warehouse, ask the shopkeeper to go to other states and counties more and look for merchants outside the customs. Even if the price is lowered, it will be better than the bad ones.
Curry is so strong."
Speaking of being left in the warehouse, Mr. Jun was so distressed. Not only did he not make any money after buying good goods, but he also had to sell them at a discount. How much money would he lose every time?
This is clearly cutting out his flesh.
Seeing that Aunt Jun only took out one hundred thousand taels of silver, Mr. Jun was a little disappointed.
"Qiluo, my family needs a lot of money now. We need to clear the inventory and sell goods, we need money to prepare additional goods, we need to establish relationships, and we need to send people to the Western Regions of Xifan to coax the nobles back... I was sent outside the customs years ago.
The caravan is back. Not only did we not make any money on this trip, we also lost a lot."
Years ago, the caravan sent by the Jun family outside the customs failed to deliver the goods to the nobleman in time. In the end, the goods were snatched by bandits. The nobleman was angry and terminated the contract. It was originally agreed to trade the goods from Xifan.
, but in the end no one would sell it to them even if they paid money.
If the goods outside the customs cannot be purchased, the merchants inside the customs have to pay the money and liquidated damages for the reservations. Not to mention, the goods shipped outside the customs are actually lost! There are so many people in custody, and the bandits actually rob the goods!
This will cost you hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
My heart, liver, and flesh hurt.
"The goods we transported were lost?" Aunt Jun was a little surprised.
The Jun family's caravan to Xifan included not only guides, but also generals who were proficient in the language of the Western Regions of Xifan, as well as guards with excellent boxing and kicking skills. They were all veterans of the army. There were quite a few of them, so what kind of goods
Lost it yet?
"Are they Mu Yan's animal hands?" Aunt Jun clenched her fists.
