Nian Gengyao has always been arrogant and arrogant. He doesn't even pay attention to jade pillars, let alone a commoner like Wang Xiangqing?
Just under Yuzhu's nose, Nian Gengyao walked away.
Yuzhu looked at Nian Gengyao's retreating back, but he was not angry at all.
Nian Gengyao is also a very sensible person.
The old emperor first arranged for Yang Sen, and then asked Yuzhu to come to Xi'an, just to restrain Nian Gengyao.
However, when Yuzhu came to serve as governor of Shaanxi, Yang Sen was deliberately transferred away by the old emperor.
Nian Gengyao blatantly refused to greet Yuzhu, and then shamed himself in the street, which confirmed the fact that the governors were at odds with each other.
There must be Kang Mazi’s eyeliner on the streets of Xi’an.
Nian Gengyao made such a scene in the street, which also helped Yuzhu save a lot of time.
After Nian Gengyao had gone far, Wang Xiangqing got up from the ground.
Yuzhu looked at Wang Xiangqing with a smile. No matter how stupid Wang Xiangqing was, he should have guessed Yuzhu's identity by now.
Because the only person in Shaanxi who can be respected as a wise brother by Nian Gengyao is Yuzhu.
"The common people are so ignorant that they don't recognize Lord Juebu. They really deserve death!" Wang Xiangqing kneeled down in front of Yuzhu very wisely.
Businessmen these days, even if they have a fortune of hundreds of millions, are still cheap businessmen.
It is abnormal for cheap businessmen to dare to offend officials.
Especially the powerful governor*, once he is offended, he will inevitably end up with his family and his family being destroyed.
Yuzhu waved his hand and sighed: "Get up. If I don't protect you, your whole family..." He paused deliberately.
Wang Xiangqing's face is as pale as paper. How could he not understand Yuzhu's unfinished meaning?
Without the protection of Yuzhu, Dashengkui and Wang Xiangqing would be doomed.
Since he offended Nian Gengyao, Wang Xiangqing had no choice but to join Yuzhu's family in order to save the lives of his family.
Yuzhu was planning the food and grass issue for the Western Expedition. Wang Xiangqing took the initiative to come to help. He happened to want to doze off, so he fell asleep next to the pillow!
It was already noon, and Wang Xiangqing wanted to invite Yuzhu to dinner. Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "There is no delicious food on the streets of Xi'an, so why not go back to Fuya for dinner?"
Yuzhu has already spoken. Whatever Wang Xiangqing can say, he has no choice but to obey.
Wang Xiangqing also knows that there is no particularly famous food in Xi'an today, which is far worse than in the capital.
In the past, Yuzhu stayed in Xi'an for some time due to official duties. He knew very well that many of Xi'an's century-old food brands were developed in the late Qing Dynasty and had no presence in the Kangxi Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, Xi'an people at this time mainly ate pasta and were not good at cooking. There was no trace of Shaanxi cuisine in the eight major cuisines.
In the city of Xi'an, there are noodle restaurants and cake shops all over the streets.
After returning to Fuya, Yuzhu led Zhou Quan and Wang Xiangqing into the West Flower Hall in the third hall.
The three of them were having tea and chatting.
After about half an hour, Yuzhu basically understood that the most outstanding thing about Dashengkui was his connections on the grassland and his arrogant transportation capabilities.
So far, Dasheng Kui has nearly 5,000 beasts of burden under his banner.
The entire Shaanxi Province is definitely not self-sufficient in food and must rely on the court's food supply...
The grain transported from Henan is sent to the Xining front line and can travel up the Yellow River directly to Xining.
However, many places in northern and western Shaanxi that are short of food rely on land transportation.
Before Yuzhu took office, grain from all parts of Shaanxi, except Changpingcang, was transshipped and sold by private grain merchants.
The good thing is that the court spent almost no money to solve the common people's food problem.
The disadvantages are also obvious. Hoarding and buying low and selling high are common tactics used by grain merchants.
Since Yuzhu is the official of Shaanxi Province, it must be his job to provide food for the people.
In Yuzhu's eyes, Dashengkui is a very good logistics company, similar to three links and one reach.
Before Yuzhu, Wang Xiangqing also cooperated with some local officials, and without exception, they all ended in failure.
The reason is actually very simple. Those local officials just want to line their own pockets instead of completely solving the people's food problem.
Yuzhu was not verbose at all. After asking clearly about the transportation consumption of grain on the road, he ordered Wang Xiangqing: "Six out of ten shi of grain can be delivered to Yan'an City, and the rest is your profit."
Previously, the government's main task in collecting corvee services was to transport grain to Changping warehouses in various places. But the problem is that after ten shi of grain from Xi'an was delivered to Yan'an Prefecture, it would only be two shi at most.
The consumption on the road is really too great.
As for Yuzhu, they simply took advantage of the huge logistics capabilities controlled by Wang Xiangqing* and adopted a contract management system. They would pilot it in Yan'an first, and then spread it widely to the entire province.
In other words, Yuzhu will hand over all the food transportation work in the province to Dashengkui in the future.
Dashengkui earns reasonable transportation profits and bears corresponding expenses to ensure that Changping warehouses in various places are full.
Shaanxi is too big, and it is impossible for Yuzhu to monopolize all the grain trading in the province.
However, Yuzhu can find a way to make all Changping warehouses in various places full.
To be honest, when the business was going on, Wang Xiangqing couldn't help but look embarrassed after calculating the transportation costs.
For transporting ten shi of grain to Yan'an, Wang Xiangqing's net profit is only one shi of grain.
To put it bluntly, selling ten kilo of grain and making only one kilo of profit is not a profitable business at all for grain merchants.
Seeing that Wang Xiangqing didn't say anything, Yuzhu winked at Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan then gently shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "Dad Master Wang, it is really not very profitable to transport grain from Henan to Shaanxi. However, as long as my palace protector sends a letter to the chief manager of Ce Leng in Uliasutai,
With this solid letter of recommendation, I can guarantee that Dashengkui’s various goods can be transported unimpeded on the Mongolian prairie from now on.”
Dashengkui's main source of income is from various businesses on the grassland.
However, Wang Xiangqing is a cheap businessman after all. All the princes and princes on the prairie can bully others and cause misery, and the cost of transportation is extremely high.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As Yuzhu, write a letter to Ce Leng and ask him to take care of Dashengkui's business.
Good guy, just the various management costs saved make Shaanxi's low-profit grain transportation not worth mentioning at all.
Because, all businesses on the prairie are extremely profitable. If the gross profit is less than five times, it is not called making money at all!…
"Master Wang, let me tell you to tell you the truth, Mr. Yang Senyang, the Shanxi Chief Minister who just took office, is the old subordinate of my Gongbao Lord in Pianyuan Province." Zhou Quan only pointed out the rest, and Wang Xiangqing left the rest to him.
Got it.
Just like Liu Bang, that big gangster, Yuzhu has always been willing to make profits when employing people.
No profit, who will get up early?
When wealth gathers people disperse, wealth disperses and people gather together, this is actually the truth!
Under Xiang Yu, how many loyal subordinates who have made great achievements have been granted the title of king?
On the contrary, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, who were not convinced by Xiang Yu at all, took advantage of him.
Yuzhu is not Wang Xiangqing's biological grandfather, so why should Wang Xiangqing work for Yuzhu without making any money?
From Shanxi to the prairie, there are places covered by jade pillars.
Wang Xiangqing did not dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately knelt down at Yuzhu's feet, slapped him hard, and said with a cry: "The villain is too greedy for profit, and he has let down the great love of Lord Gongbao.
, please punish me severely, Lord Gongbao."
Yuzhu really didn’t care about Wang Xiangqing’s profiteering.
Let the privately owned Dashengkui help transport grain to various parts of Shaanxi. If there is not enough profit, this cooperation will definitely not last long.
If a businessman is not seeking profit, is he seeking publicity?
Scholars in this era almost all look down upon businessmen and often criticize profiteers, stinkers, etc.
However, among the scholars who have passed the imperial examination or become an official, which one has no one behind it who is doing business and making a lot of money?
These hypocrites among scholars, while scolding profiteers, are doing huge profit-making business in private under the protection of power.
This is a typical split personality!
In fact, the largest pawnshops in prefectures or counties are often the private properties of local officials.
During the meal*, Yuzhu was in a very good mood.
Yuzhu has already submitted a memorial to the matter of military rations, and plans to leave it to Kong Zhi's water transport company via the Yellow River.
As for the grain transportation work in various parts of Shaanxi, it is natural to leave it to the logistics giant of this era, Wang Xiangqing's Dashengkui.
Let professional talents do professional things, and give them enough benefits to last. Don't worry about Kong Zhi and Wang Xiangqing not working hard.
Since everything was settled, the atmosphere during the banquet was also particularly good.
Wang Xiangqing never dreamed that Yuzhu would be able to cover the only trade route from Shanxi to the prairie.
Cereng is not only Jinshang's son-in-law, but also the general manager of Uliasutai. He sent a message, among the large number of Mongolian princes, who dares not to give face?
However, Yuzhu's disciple, Yang Sen, the former acting chief envoy to Shaanxi and the current chief envoy to Shanxi, could not only directly raid Wang Xiangqing's hometown. He could also give Dashengkui's goods the privilege of priority to leave customs.
In this way, even if Wang Xiangqing wants to get rid of Yuzhu's control, it is absolutely impossible.
After the banquet, Zhou Quan saw off Wang Xiangqing and said when he came back: "Congratulations to Dong Weng, the whole province of Shaanxi will never be short of food again."
Yuzhu understood it as soon as he heard it, and Zhou Quan already understood his good intentions.
In Shaanxi Province, Changping warehouses in various places can have 20% of the grain in stock, which is already a lot.
There is very little grain in Changpingcang, and the inability of local governments to restrain profiteers from driving up prices is the main factor why grain prices in Shaanxi remain high.
Besides, as long as Yuzhu secretly helps, Wang Xiangqing's cost of purchasing grain from the eastern provinces will be astonishingly low.
As the old saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you will not panic.
In Shaanxi during the Kangxi Dynasty, the mountains were not high, but the ditches were very deep. Scholars in Shaanxi could not pass the imperial examinations, but the folk customs were extremely strong.
Objectively speaking, today's Shaanxi is almost full of bandits or swordsmen.
Serving as an official for one term brings benefit to one party.
Since Yuzhu is one of the local emperors of Shaanxi, he naturally wants to leave impressive political achievements in Shaanxi!
