Chapter 340: Digging the Pit


According to Lu Hanqiang's mandatory regulations, if you want to get the coke in the new area, you must exchange all the grain, and you will not accept cash for this period of time, but this time Li Quanyou brought half of the silver, which does not match the requirements, this precedent Lu Hanqiang is ready to refuse.

What's wrong with acquaintances, acquaintances have to talk about unspoken rules.

Especially according to the climatic law, the Xiaoice period was generated, the cold air front pushed south, the south should be smooth wind and rain, but I remember that from the previous year to the next eighteen years, Jiangnan matured every year, and there was no shortage of food at all.

Li Quanyou saw that Lu Hanqiang asked about the food problem, and his expression was slightly unhappy, so he hurriedly bowed again and said: "My lord misunderstood, this year's southern maturity, there is no shortage of grain, and seeing that the autumn grain will be harvested in the second season, so the grain source is not a problem, but this time the family is really short of too much coke, and it is not a time to collect grain, so the uncle asked the little one to bring these grains and silver first, hoping to transport back some coke for emergencies first." ” Lu Hanqiang smiled, and said to Li Quanyou with an expression that I see through you, and didn't say anything, isn't that right, it's not that a businessman is shrewd, a cargo ship of 100,000 stone of grain will transport back 20,000 stone of coke, and two-thirds of the capacity will be vacant, if it weren't for Lu Hanqiang's strong stipulation that grain must be exchanged for coke, these people will simply bring most of the gold and silver over, and it is understandable for merchants to pursue profits, although this has also achieved the purpose of attracting silver from the south to the north, but now they still urgently need food, If you don't have a million stone of grain in a month, you can't solve the famine in front of you.

"With such a large-scale purchase of grain, isn't there a phenomenon of competition for grain in the south?"

Noncommittal to Li Quanyou's answer, Lu Hanqiang pretended to be casual and asked.

"My lord, the villain has a major incident to report to the adult, but he has asked to see him a few times, and the adult is not in the new area, so the villain is not allowed to face him."

At this time, Li Quanyou's expression was straight, he stood up and said solemnly again.

Lu Hanqiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked solemnly: "Brother Tai has anything important to report?"

Known as Brother Tai, Li Quanyou was a little flattered, but the matter was important, and he hurriedly crossed his hand and said: "My lord, Jiangnan, is the granary of the world, every year in my Suhu two states, the export of rice to the outside world is as much as five million stones, in the past few years, most of it was exported to Gyeonggi and Shandong, but these years, Shanxi merchants have become bulk customers of rice, and adults also know that most of the rice purchased by Shanxi merchants is transferred to Jinzhou through Shandong and sent to Houjin Tatar, but just a month ago, Shanxi businessmen suddenly stopped the acquisition in Suhu Erzhou, and became silent, this is as the adult said, Xu Guangqi's disciples went to Denglai Governor, vigorously rectified the navy, and cut off the grain smuggling channel, but this is only one of them, here I see that there is a conspiracy, so I discussed it with my uncle, and had a judgment, so I didn't wait for 100,000 stone grain and grass to get together, so I escorted 50,000 grain and 50,000 cash to you, to see if our uncle and nephew judged correctly, as a result, as soon as I arrived in your land, I saw that you did not hesitate to post grain in order to stabilize the price of grain in Shanxi, which immediately proved my judgment, my lord, there is a conspiracy here. ” When Lu Hanqiang heard this, he suddenly stood up, that's right, this proves his inference, and this time he stood up in surprise, not for this shocking secret, but for the delicacy and righteousness of the Li family's uncle and nephew.

I was even more ashamed that I had misunderstood this Li Quanyou just now.

Tidy up his clothes and solemnly give Li Quanyou a deep salute, which frightened Li Quanyou, and quickly knelt down, and had to let Lu Hanqiang pull him in a hurry.

"Don't dare to be a big gift, it's all there."

Lu Hanqiang said frankly: "I didn't expect that Brother Tai was so righteous, just now for my brother and measured it with the heart of a villain, this is to make amends for your sins, and I am even more grateful to Brother Tai for coming thousands of miles to report, and the true righteous are also." ” Li Quanyou didn't know what Qin Cha thought of himself just now, but he was also very moved when he saw Lu Hanqiang's sincerity.

When the two sat down again, Lu Hanqiang truthfully told him his current situation and judgment, and then said with annoyance: "This is all because I didn't think about it, so this disguised enemy happened."

Then he said bitterly: But if I don't release grain like this, the price of grain in Shanxi is really difficult to settle, this is really a dilemma.

Then pacing back and forth on the ground, thinking carefully.

At this time, Li Quanyou stood up and said: "Actually, adults don't have to be so stuck, as long as adults use writing methods, they can choke the channels for Shanxi merchants to transport grain from the north, and I will go back to Suhu and organize the vast number of righteous merchants to transport a large amount of grain, and the adults still release a large amount of grain to the market, we can completely support the Shanxi profiteers, and then we can immediately suppress the price of Shanxi grain." ” "It's hard."

Lu Hanqiang shook his head bitterly, "Shanxi officials and businessmen are colluding with each other one by one, and their interests have been completely bundled together, even if I report to the emperor, they will deceive and quibble, and they can't implement it, but" Lu Hanqiang's head suddenly flashed, and he stopped, "You said that you can organize righteous businessmen to transport a large amount of grain on the basis of the current one."

Li Quanyou said categorically: "Yes, as long as I go back and report the difficulties of the adults to your conscientious righteous businessmen, I will definitely be able to get the support of your righteous businessmen, and it will be okay to transport an extra million stone of grain every month."

Then he said with a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring: "My lord, the drought in the mountains and Shaanxi, starvation is all over the wilderness, it is originally the people of the world to face together, how can you let the adults take responsibility alone, especially your two dollars subsidy is more benevolent and righteous, I have already discussed with my uncle and Huzhou Suzhou Yishang, the price of the grain shipped to your place from the original agreement of one or two dollars, reduced to one or two." ” "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

Lu Hanqiang grabbed Li Quanyou's hand, shook it fiercely, and lowered the price by two dollars, then the million stone grain he needs now can be reduced by 200,000 yuan per month, which is an absolutely large amount of silver.

Since people have reduced the price of grain, shouldn't they be so dark and reduce the price of coke a little, so Lu Hanqiang decided not to reduce it after some struggle.

"But, my lord, we also have a condition."

Li Quanyou embarrassedly withdrew the hand that was tightly grasped by Lu Hanqiang.

"Of course, you have made such a big sacrifice, of course I have to fulfill my obligations, is the so-called mutual benefit the truth of long-term cooperation?"

"In fact, it is not a special requirement, that is, you increase the production of coke, and then allow us to buy coke with silver on the basis of 100,000 stone of grain, so that when we go back, we can still return with a full load, not only saving a lot of freight, but also allowing Jiangnan shipwrights to get more freight."

When Lu Hanqiang heard this, he couldn't help but admire the shrewdness of the southerners, and lowered the price by two dollars, as long as he was open to buy coke with silver, the freight saved could make up for it, and let himself have a good reputation for going to the national disaster together.

"Thank you for your compassion, on behalf of the Suhu grain merchants, I thank you here."

After the two were humble, they sat down again, Lu Hanqiang looked at Li Quanyou with a smile and said: "Brother Li is talented and righteous, I am lacking a manpower like Li Brother Tai here, I don't know if Brother Li can be interested in helping my brother" Now, Lu Hanqiang wants to go crazy when he thinks about talents, as long as he looks at what is pleasing to the eye, he has to dig the corner of the wall, but unfortunately, there are not many people who make him look good, but this Li Quanyou is one of them, as long as Li Quanyou serves himself, then he can completely build a bridge between the north and the south.

Li Quanyou was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly understood that people were recruiting themselves, they couldn't study at home, except for their uncle, they were still waiting to see themselves, but the family was huge, and they had no chance to get out of the way, even this time he and his uncle worked hard to find a coke trade with a greater profit margin for the family, and also got the Huzhou agent, but in the end, the shopkeeper's errand was arranged by the patriarch to a son of a grandson, and he was just arranged to continue to sell with his uncle.

This is really ruthless and unfair, but there is no way, the big family is like this, the status is actually stricter than the officialdom, now it's okay, the first person in the Ming Dynasty is willing to recruit himself and let himself follow the left and right, then it is no longer a dream to show his ambitions and get ahead.

The joyful fainted.

"Why, don't you want to" Lu Hanqiang looked at Li Quanyou who didn't promise him, and was a little disappointed, why didn't he have the spirit of Wang Ba, Jin Hengguang was one, Zhao Sihai was one, it seems that this Li Quanyou is another one, hey, he really has no talent.

"Thank you for your love, all of you have to sacrifice your life and forget your life to follow your adult to do great things for the country and the people."

After that, Li Quanyou straightened out his clothes and bowed respectfully.

Lu Hanqiang was overjoyed at that time, and pulled Li Quanyou up: "I have to be like that, that."

"I almost made it like Liu Beizhi met Kong Minglai, in that case, my head would be almost finished.

So, I quickly used a while to bring it over.

"As the governor of the four prefectures in the southwest of the mountain, I will ask the emperor to ask you to ask for a dispatch of the governor of the four prefectures to supervise the grain road, which is regarded as a benevolent official, from the fifth grade, so that you are directly responsible for the allocation of money and grain in my new area and the southern four prefectures, all have brothers, you can see that you have been wronged" Li Quanyou also let go at this time, laughed, and said conceitedly, "My lord, I have been in contact with grain merchants since I was a child, this is exactly what I do, dare not to die, once the money and grain go on a business trip, I will come to see you." ” It's okay now, so that Zihan can pull out half of his body, Zihan, I'm tired.

At that time, Lu Han was overjoyed, and shouted to Wang Jian: "Hurry up and call the prince Zhao Zizihan and others to come to the hall for a gathering, and I want to solemnly introduce our new brothers to all brothers." ” Wang Jian saw Lu Hanqiang's rare joy, and immediately ran out to greet everyone. t1706231537:
