Chapter 284: Fuzhou Grain Merchant


Jeju Mingren gave the Jurchens an uppercut at Tieshan.

The Jin army was disgraced and suffered heavy losses.

This was the heaviest loss for the Jurchens after Liao and Shen.

Of course, Huang Taiji attached great importance to it.

He once ordered Li Yongfang and the North Korean generals to inquire about the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

As a result, he did not get much information about the Ming Dynasty in Jeju.

He only found out from North Korea that after they occupied Jeju, they turned east and clashed with the Japanese.

They had no intention of going north.

No.

There is no information about them in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is currently too busy to take care of itself.

Of course, it has no time to inquire about the situation on an island in the sea.

The matter was settled.

Since Jeju Mingren had no intention of going north to conflict with Dajin, Dajin was not willing to provoke such a powerful enemy.

Today, Li Yongfang's words shocked Huang Taiji.

He was most afraid that the Jeju Ming people would collude with the Ming Dynasty.

The impact on Daikin would be unpredictable.

"Tell me why you say that."

"The slave heard that during the Battle of Zhuozhou, the Ming army stood in front of the Ming Dynasty and sang war songs, and it felt familiar.

He thought that the war songs also appeared when he was investigating the Ming people in Jeju earlier, so the slave asked the Han soldiers present, but there were no Han people present during the Battle of Zhuozhou. soldiers , only the Mongolians have some knowledge of Chinese, so after comparing the two, they found that their war songs were similar, and their troops had sharp weapons and neat military formations."

Li Yongfang lowered his head and listened to Huang Taiji's instructions.

Huang Taiji stood up and paced back and forth on the ground, thinking about Li Yongfang's words.

For a long time, he turned and stared at Li Yongfang, "Li Yongfang, I order you to send out capable personnel to find out the relationship between the Zhao family and his son and the Mingren of Jeju.

I want to As soon as possible."

Li Yongfang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Huang Taiji had never explained matters so solemnly before.

He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty.

I will definitely send out the most capable people.

I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."

Huang Taiji waved Li Yongfang to retreat.

This was the first time he felt frustrated after the spring breeze in recent days.

The harvest in Sanchatun is very good this year.

Except for the Hunhe area of ​​Liaohe River, which suffered minor floods due to excessive rain in June and July, the harvest in other places in Liaodong is good this year.

"Second brother, my family can finally breathe a sigh of relief this year.

I rented a hundred acres of land this year and still have more than forty kilograms of rice.

I also have more than thirty taels of silver that I brought back when I entered the customs.

I have no time to live.

It's better now."

Fang Dongmen smiled and took a sip of wine.

"Of course.

Second brother, these are all the benefits you have brought to the family.

As the eldest brother, without the support of your younger brother, alas, I don't know where I am buried."

"Okay.

Big brother, we are all brothers.

Let's help each other.

We can survive in Liaodong without helping each other.

Come on, have a drink."

Although Fang Ximen was very proud of being flattered by his eldest brother, but seeing his eldest brother He was about to go downstairs again, so he interrupted hastily.

"Second brother, Mrs.

Zhang is looking for a baby for you again.

Do you want a boy or a girl?"

Fang Dongmen turned the topic to Fang Ximen's concubine, Mrs.

Zhang.

"Sigh.

In these days, men are still needed.

Big brother, let me tell you, don't look at my younger brother.

I have two sons.

They will also have to go out with the army in the future.

They have no eyesight."

Fang Ximen said.

"Well, your brother and I don't have such a good life, and your sister-in-law has no movement anymore."

Fang Dongmen frowned and said.

"Shh, I'm talking about brother.

Keep your voice down.

If my sister-in-law hears this, she will not let you into the house for another three days."

Fang Ximen became more courageous when he drank, and his sister-in-law took care of him as soon as the drunkenness dissipated.

This dear brother is really helpless.

Fang Dongmen shrank his neck when he heard this and looked carefully.

I found that the ladies in the back room were still talking and laughing among themselves, so I felt relieved.

"Second brother, your life has been much better this year.

There has been a bumper harvest this year.

Although everyone has taken away nearly 60% of the harvest, there are still more than ten shi of rice left on more than 30 acres of land.

Finally, we are not hungry.

I'm tired, even in the early days there were no such good times, and your tax revenue was much better," Fang Dongmen said.

"Yes, the field farming has been completed this year.

The land tax alone has cost more than 400,000 taels of silver.

Rice and grain are expensive in Liaodong, so these are worth nearly 400,000 taels of silver.

King Longyan is very happy.

Master Shi Tingzhu is promoted to the first-class deputy general.

What a great lieutenant, he still manages the location of this farmland," Fang Ximen said with a smile.

"Second brother, Lord Shi regards you as his direct subordinate.

Lord Shi is so important, your good days are ahead."

Fang Dongmen said with a smile after hearing this.

"Brother, look at it, our old Fang family's life is getting more and more prosperous."

Fang Ximen said proudly.

"Dad, does this wine taste good?

Give me some."

Fang Ximen's eldest son, 12-year-old Fang Zishan, came out of the room and said.

"It tastes good.

Take a sip and try it."

Fang Ximen said with a smile.

Fang Zishan looked at his father, thought for a while, and felt something was wrong, but when he saw his father and uncle intoxicated while drinking, he wanted to try it very much, so he picked up Fang Ximen's wine glass and took a sip, "Pfft, "Fang Zishan spit out all the wine in his mouth, his little face wrinkled, "Daddy is lying, it doesn't taste good, it's too spicy."

Fang Ximen and Fang Dongmen laughed, and the family enjoyed the joy of the harvest.

"Dong dong," there was a knock on the door.

The mother-in-law of the family went out to take a look and came back to report that she was on her way to see him.

Fang Ximen didn't get up, but Fang Dongmen got up and reached the front yard.

I saw Lu Youlu and Quan brothers walking in carrying a sika deer.

"Brother Fang, we two brothers went up the mountain today to hunt a deer to give Mr.

Niu Lu and Brother Fang a change of taste."

Lu You said with a smile.

Lu Quan echoed with a silly smile.

"Okay, there is a way.

I didn't expect you to have such a hand.

If I were to go there, I wouldn't even be able to catch a rabbit."

Fang Dongmen said with a smile.

"Brother Fang, we brothers have relied on this craft to make a living.

Brother Fang, we brothers will peel off the deer skins for you.

We can make boots and stuffers to keep warm when winter comes soon."

Lu Youdao.

"I'm so sorry, I'd better ask the servants from the mansion to come later."

Fang Dongmen said politely.

"Brother Fang, you don't know.

If one thing is not done well, the whole skin will be ruined.

It's better for us to do it quickly."

Lu You said as he asked his servants for a wooden basin, hoisted the deer up and started skinning it.

There is no need to mention the craftsmanship of the two brothers.

It only takes a stick of incense and it will be done.

"Hey, it's the Lu family brothers here."

Fang Ximen walked in from the back with his hands behind his back.

There was quite a movement, so he came out to take a look.

"Lu You pays his respects to Lord Niu Lu."

Lu You knelt down in a hurry, Lu You followed suit.

"Okay, let's get up."

Fang Ximen was very pleased with it.

Generally, a family was only given thirty acres of land for farming, but Fang Ximen gave Lu Youlu and his family eighty-five acres of land.

That's because Lu Younai is a direct descendant of Fang Ximen and has always been obedient.

"No, the Lu family brothers brought a deer and helped skin it so they could make boots or something."

Fang Dongmen said.

"Just giving it a try for adults."

Lu You said with a smile.

"Okay, if you're interested, stay and have a few sips later."

Fang Ximen said with a smile.

"No, there's a wild boar at home that I have to deal with later.

I was afraid that you would dislike the smell of the wild boar, so I didn't bring it to you," Lu You said hurriedly.

The adults may keep you here just as a courtesy, but don't take it seriously.

"Okay, I'll go back and pick it up later, come over and have a drink together."

Fang Ximen waved his hand grandly.

"Okay."

Lu You replied happily.

Fang Ximen looked at Lu Quan who was busy on the side, "There is a road, and when the right one comes, I will find a wife for your brother.

You will be lonely and miserable."

"Hey, you have to thank Mr.

Fang.

You see, you also told me about my daughter-in-law, and I have to trouble you about this matter.

I'll kowtow to you."

Lu You hurriedly kowtowed to Fang Ximen.

Lu Quan followed suit again.

"Okay, there aren't that many etiquettes, just hurry up and get busy."

Fang Ximen said.

Lu Youluquan hurriedly got up and finished.

They hung up the deer skin quickly and broke down the deer carcass into a large basin.

A brother just left on the road, and someone asked to see him again.

"Hey, it turns out it's Mr.

Liu, what's the matter here?"

Fang Ximen came out and saw that it was Liu Xiaozhong, a grain merchant and grocer in Fuzhou City, and he knew why he was here.

"Liu is here to collect grain, Mr.

Fang.

We agreed earlier that Mr.

Fang would leave me a few hundred stones of rice here, but Mr.

Fang forgot."

Liu Xiao, who is in his early thirties, is in the middle.

Speak with a smile on your face.

"It's easy to say.

Mr.

Liu, you must have heard that this year we have a good harvest on hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

There is food, but each household does not have much.

They can only give out a few stones of rice in exchange for money, but it is quite a lot when put together.

The key is how much money Mr.

Liu can give.

"Of course Fang Ximen will not push out the grain merchants who come to his door.

There are many grain merchants.

"Master Fang, Liu will not say much.

The main crop in this area is sorghum.

When there was no good harvest, one stone of sorghum cost nine cents of silver.

Now that there is a good harvest, the price of grain has dropped slightly.

Other grain merchants charge seven cents and five cents of silver."

"I'll take it from Liu for eight and a half cents, and sell it for nine cents, Mr.

Fang," Liu Xiaozhong said simply.

"Mr.

Liu's price is indeed high, but you can still make money by taking it back."

This price is indeed what Mr.

Liu said.

The price he gave is absolutely fair, even too high, but this good thing fell on Fang Ximen.

He hesitated a little on his head.

"Master Fang, let's put it this way.

My main business is not food, but specialties from Liaodong.

However, if I open a shop in Liaodong, there is no food and groceries.

Customers are reluctant to visit, so I have to have these items.

There is no profit, so I enter from one place.

It's best if it's enough to save trouble.

Master Fang can just take it for seven and a half cents, and sell it to me for eighty-five cents."

Liu Xiaozhong said bluntly when he saw Fang Ximen's hesitation.

"I see, this, this is so embarrassing."

Fang Ximen was overjoyed, but he still had to agree.

He suddenly thought that even the few villages under his jurisdiction could scrape together four or five hundred shi, which equaled forty or fifty taels of silver.

Not to mention that he could get some from other Niu Lu based on his reputation.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Mr.

Fang helps out a little bit more with the Shanhuo fur dealer, that'll be fine, haha."

Liu Xiaozhong said with a smile.

"That's easy to say.

Don't worry, Mr.

Liu.

I'll take care of this little matter.

Come on, we happened to catch game at home.

Let's have a drink together, Mr.

Liu, and let's discuss it together."

Fang Ximen smiled and let Liu Xiaozhong in.

"It's disrespectful to say that, you are nagging me."

Liu Xiaozhong was not too polite.

There were still some details to discuss.

He thought to himself, it's done, there is another channel. s: Thanks to the eldest young master of the Li family 588 for the reward, thanks to Kuaiji Mountain Man 007, Fragrant Grass and Trees at the End of the World, Mountain Man Has a Clever Idea, Nightfall, No Self-Come, Mystery, Birds Without Birds, The Sea, Journey to Mountains and Rivers, Broken The sunshine in the palm of my hand, this summer The sky is a little busy, Dongxi 512, The Fool of the Sand, The God of Jig Fort, The Gap of the World, Chang Zhao, The Twelve Young Masters of Three Rings, Jian Chen Fragrance, A Cup of Tea, The Invincible Emperor, The Ming Fleet, Ma Liang and the Mermaid, Immortality The reward of the fire of love and the frost in the sky, Thank you to friends who subscribed and recommended, and wish you good luck:
