Shopkeeper Yu looked through the things Mei Weiling brought.
Mei Weiling looked at the contract on the table and sighed.
"Theoretically, I could sell part of my property to get some money to buy goods. But these were all given to me by my ancestors, and they are considered ancestral property. Selling them would be unfilial. In desperation, I
After someone gave me some advice, I found the North and South Trading Company."
There was some surprise in his words, "It was only when I came here that I knew I had found the right person. I heard along the way how generous Mrs. Shizi was. She sympathized with the merchants in trouble and was happy to lend a hand to help. Every time everyone mentioned it, they were full of praise.
Absolutely."
He praised him very much and said: "I came all the way to find you when I was desperate. I hope the shopkeeper can be accommodating." He stood up and bowed his hand to Yu Lu.
Yu Lu stretched out his hand to support him and asked him to sit down.
When he heard the other party praising his wife, Yu Yourong said, "Our wife is a kind person that is hard to find in the world." She has helped many merchants earn money and supplement their family income.
Now there is a room in the shop dedicated to collecting all kinds of gifts sent by the vendors.
They are not worth much money. I know that the Crown Prince's wife does not accept gifts. What she sends are things produced by her own family or some rare things from various places. It is everyone's wish.
The vendors are grateful and grateful, which makes them feel that they have helped the wrong person. They feel a strong sense of accomplishment in their hearts, which makes them happier than making money.
Yu? Verified Mei Weiling's identity as a Menghua native. He had household registers, road signs, and various deeds stamped with the official seal.
"The Mei Dong family will go back and wait for news first. After we discuss it, we will give the Mei Dong family a reply and come back in three days."
"Thank you, shopkeeper Yu."
Yu Lu politely sent Mei Weiling out. Mei Weiling did not leave in a hurry, but started shopping in the north and south stores. He looked at each store without blinking, especially the treasure store and the foreign store.
The treasures made him eyes wide open.
He decided to buy goods from the Bao Goods Store and the Foreign Goods Store on credit. They were valuable, easy to carry, and easy to hide along the way. No matter where he sold them, they would be sought after by noble people.
The shopkeeper asked him to come back in three days to verify his identity. He was not afraid of them checking.
Mei Weiling's identity is real. He is indeed a member of the Mei family. He often travels inside and outside the customs to do business with foreigners. His ancestors were also very wealthy, but their descendants were not good at running the business. They had many houses and divided them among themselves.
When he came down, there wasn't much left in his room. His father lost a lot, so he formed a caravan and went to do business outside the customs.
After Yu Lu sent someone to verify, when he saw him again, his face had a little more smile.
"We welcome Mei Dongjia to become a partner of our North and South Cargo Store."
The two parties exchanged pleasantries and said, "I wonder which goods the Mei Dong family has taken a fancy to and how many goods they plan to borrow on credit, so I can have people prepare the goods."
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Yu. Shopkeeper Yu has relieved Mei's troubles. My whole family and I are grateful to Mrs. Shizi and Shopkeeper Yu for their kindness."
"I'm exaggerating. It's just mutual benefit. The Mei Dong family likes our North and South Trading Company and chooses to cooperate with us, which is also a sign of trust. I hope we can come and go often, and we can make money together."
"Shopkeeper Yu's words made Mei feel like a breath of fresh air. I am very grateful."
Hearing that Mei Weiling wanted goods from Bao Warehouse and Foreign Warehouse, Yu Hui readily agreed and praised him for his unique vision.
"Dong Mei's family is engaged in the business of nobles from outside the customs. Our Central Plains jewelry, gold, silver, and jade ornaments, as well as rare and exotic goods such as those from the People's Republic of China, are all easy to sell, easy to carry, and easy to hide. Small goods can make big profits.
The Mei Dong family has good taste."
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Yu. I'll need Shopkeeper Yu's help later."
"It's easy to talk about." Yu Xi paused when he heard that he wanted to borrow goods worth 150,000 taels of silver on credit.
Mei Weiling begged for mercy: "Please shopkeeper Yu be accommodating. Although the total property deeds I brought were only a hundred thousand taels, I also ordered 500 medium-sized horses and 500 oxen from outside the customs. These
We have signed contracts with merchants from the Central Plains. As long as these livestock are delivered to the other party, I will have tens of thousands of taels in my account."
Yu? disagreed: "Even if we have property as collateral, we will only give 50% of the goods to the merchants we cooperate with for the first time."
In other words, for all the deeds mortgaged by Meiweiling, they could only get goods worth 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver at most.
The two haggled for a while and finally settled on a payment of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
In exchange, Mei Weiling pledged all his properties and orders for cattle and horses, and agreed to pay back the goods and silver within two months and get back the deed.
After Meiweiling, several traders pledged their assets to get goods on credit, almost all of which were goods from the Yaobao Warehouse and the Western Warehouse. They were all large quantities of goods, and the value of the goods was around one hundred thousand taels, or more.
A large amount of goods suddenly came out of Bao Warehouse and Foreign Goods Store. The shopkeeper checked the inventory and urgently transferred goods to the capital.
After nearly a month of bumpy roads, Yang Fu returned to the capital.
Hearing that he was back, Huo Nian took Xiao Yu'er and ran to ask Huo Xi about their situation...
Xiao Yu'er sat upright, listening to the news about his parents with great interest, without blinking an eye or daring to miss a word. When he heard that his mother was pregnant with a younger brother and sister, Xiao Yu'er sat up straight.
Follow and glare at the boss.
Huo Nian turned around and glanced at him: "Yu'er?" The child didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking with his bright black eyes.
Just as Huo Nian was about to speak, Xiao Yu'er suddenly softened and looked a little lonely: "Uncle, my parents have younger brothers and sisters." He is no longer needed, and he will not be missed in the future.
Huo Nian felt very distressed and held him on his lap.
He comforted: "Yes, our Yu'er has younger brothers and sisters. In the future, they will follow Yu'er and call them older brothers. They will eat when Yu'er tells them to eat, and sleep when Yu'er tells them to sleep. They will all obey their brother's words. Yu'er also said
He will be a good brother and will definitely love them well in the future, right?"
Xiao Yu'er raised his big black eyes and looked at Huo Nian: "Will they listen to Yu'er?"
"Yes, we Yu'er are brothers. When we Yu'er learn our skills well, we go to them and teach them how to read and write, and teach them boxing and kicking skills. If they don't do well in practice, Yu'er will criticize them, okay?
"
Yang Fu felt very distressed at the side. This child has always been sensible. He left his parents at a young age. He said warmly: "Yu'er's parents miss us Yu'er. Your mother even cried when she missed Yu'er."
Little Yu'er's eyes lit up, "Did Mom still cry when she missed Yu'er? Just like Yu'er missed them?"
"That's right. Your mother couldn't stop crying. Your father has been coaxing her for a long time. She misses us Yu'er so much."
Xiao Yu'er pursed her lips and raised the corners of her lips, "Mom is so embarrassed that she still cries at such an old age. Yu'er doesn't even cry now. She's so embarrassed."
Huo Nian breathed out, "Let's see what good things our parents have prepared for Yu'er, shall we?"
"Okay!" Yu'er responded loudly and slid down Huo Nian's legs.
