The price of this mahogany has always been high in Qiandu City, and it is deeply loved by dignitaries.
Now..., if what the person just said is true, the price of mahogany will probably experience a sharp rise in the near future!
Yizhou is the main producing area of mahogany. Basically, 80% of the mahogany in Daqian is produced in Yizhou.
If the production of mahogany in Yizhou is stopped, it is conceivable that this will be an unimaginable and terrifying blow to the entire mahogany market.
If you are hoarding a large amount of redwood at this time, then take the path of praising scarcity.
I'm afraid it can be sold for a sky-high price!
It's just that this matter is of great importance, and you really can't just listen to that person's words. You still need to verify it from multiple sources.
I'm afraid I'm going to be very busy in the next few days.
To be precise, Zhen Jian is quite busy.
In the past few days, he had been sent out by Li Changkong to inquire about Hongmu in the streets and alleys, both overtly and covertly.
If he came in the open, it would be easy to handle. It was just to inquire about information. He was familiar with this matter!
But unfortunately, this matter has to be done secretly!
Once the news about this mahogany gets out, all the money you get will be gone!
Therefore, Zhen Jian's channels for inquiring about information have become particularly limited. However, this guy is probably still somewhat capable.
About three to five days later, he excitedly found Li Changkong and said excitedly: "Master, this news is probably true!"
"Although there are only a few people from Yizhou who come to Qiandu, there are still one or two of them. The young ones come to the door one by one, and the answers they get are the same as what the young master heard from Jishi Hall."
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded and said, "Did you pay for the hush money?"
"Of course it was given to them. They are all smart people and know what to do. If you don't do anything with the money, how can such a great thing happen?"
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded calmly. It seemed that Zhen Jian was doing things very safely.
"In addition, I also sent people to Jiaozhou to investigate."
"Although Yizhou is far away and inconvenient to travel back and forth, Jiaozhou is close!"
"Moreover, there is a post station set up by the imperial court in Jiaozhou to collect news coming back from Yizhou."
When Li Changkong heard this, he was confused at first. After thinking about it for a while, he soon figured it out.
That's what happened.
Yizhou is located in a remote area and has been prone to troubles since ancient times. There were even constant rebellions for a few years.
Over time, the imperial court came up with a way to set up a post station in Jiaozhou, a neighboring state of Yizhou.
Every month, the magistrate of Yizhou needs to pass the major and minor matters of Yizhou to Jiaozhou Station, and then the magistrate of Jiaozhou will consider whether to report them.
Therefore, if there is a place where we can best get information about Yizhou, it must be Jiaozhou.
Zhen Jian sent people there to investigate, which shows that he put a lot of effort into it.
"How is the result?"
"It's just like what the young master heard. There really was a strong wind in Yizhou, and all the redwood trees were lost."
When Li Changkong heard this, a big stone finally fell to his heart.
This opportunity to make money can be considered as gone.
But soon, he remembered another question.
"What's today's date?"
"No. 21, what happened to the young master?"
"On the 21st?" Li Changkong couldn't help but frown, and asked anxiously: "When does Jiaozhou Station usually deliver news about Yizhou to the court?"
"Well, let's follow the situation urgently." Zhen Jian thought about it for a while and said: "If it is related to rebellion, the news will reach Qiandu in the starry night."
"Usually, around the middle of next month, the news from last month will be delivered."
Li Changkong nodded after hearing this.
The wind blowing in Yizhou should not be considered a big deal to the magistrate of Jiaozhou.
After all, Yizhou is adjacent to the East China Sea, so storms and sea disasters are common, but this time it is a little more serious, so it should not be possible to transmit information on a starry night.
Therefore, the news of the suspension of production of redwood in Yizhou will arrive in Qiandu by the middle of next month at the latest!
No, we can't be so lucky.
There must be someone who is well-informed, and I am afraid they will find out at the beginning of the month.
In this way, I am afraid I only have more than ten days left for me!
As he thought, Li Changkong immediately took out tens of thousands of taels of silver notes from his arms and said: "Take this money and immediately go to the market to buy mahogany wood without leaving a single piece!"
"Also, ask my father how much of the 20,000 taels of silver I gave him to subsidize the family last time is left. Bring them all, I will be of great use!"
"After a while, I will pay him back tenfold."
"Besides, I remember the Imperial Academy banquet, was it just today?"
Zhen Jian received tens of thousands of taels of banknotes and felt a little uneasy for a moment. This was the first time in his life that he had carried so much wealth.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly, the young master really trusted me!
Then when he heard Li Changkong's question, he nodded in confusion and said, "Yes."
"Prepare the chariot, I'm going to the banquet!"
"Master, didn't you say before that going there would be an occasion for flattery, so why not go?"
When Li Changkong heard this, he glanced at him and said, "These days are different from the past. Why don't you hurry up and prepare the chariot?"
"Okay, let's go now."
…
The supervisory students of the Imperial College, whether they are Gong students or Yin students, always have to get together after the exam.
Firstly, it can maintain the relationship between classmates, and secondly, of course, it is to find out who did well in the exam and who did not do well.
They also have a good understanding of each other.
Some people flock to this kind of banquet. These people usually do well in the exam and hope to deduce their ranking as soon as possible.
Naturally, some people sneer at it, but these people often do not perform well. They adhere to the idea of out of sight, out of mind, and simply don't give up.
Li Changkong was still very confident in the policy essay he wrote in the literary test, and felt that he should belong to the former.
However, I feel that this kind of gathering is really boring, so I don’t want to go.
But now, I have to go!
These classmates are not just classmates, they are also distinguished disciples!
Every family is extremely rich!
If you borrow some money from them to buy the mahogany wood, and then pay it back in full after you earn it, you can even come home nine times out of ten. That is a bloody profit!
Li Changkong swallowed and quickly stepped out of the carriage.
Dear Yinqiao, oh no, classmates, I’m coming!
…
At the banquet in the Imperial College, Zhu Ben was a little restless.
He is so melancholy.
I thought that it was a sure thing that I would make a splash on the school parade. After all, I had been training hard for this for half a year.
Unexpectedly, Jia Taisui was killed alive.
It was really embarrassing to directly knock him out of the ring with a halberd!
After he fell into the ring, his toes were so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed to stand up again.
He pretended to faint and waited, waiting until the martial arts test was over and everyone was preparing for the literary test, then he got up from the ring in despair and slipped away.
It’s really embarrassing!
But fortunately no one saw it, so it’s not a shame!
