Chapter 268: Shen Wansan His last sentence was purely a bluff, but it scared Shen Fu so much that he almost collapsed to the ground again.
You must know that although Butcher Zhu is known as a Buddhist, he has a group of angry-eyed Vajra under his command.
None of the people who really offended him have ever met a good end.
"Of course, if it hadn't spread from your Shen family, I wouldn't have framed it for you."
Zhu Chongjiu was not very experienced in using the method of giving a sweet date with a stick, but with the remaining power of winning consecutive battles, he used it.
Come on, the effect is not bad.
"If you regret it now If you say that, I will treat it as if you didn't say anything before.
As long as the price is reasonable, I will let the Huaiyang company buy all the grain you want.
When you go back, you can take silver ingots or glass, cement and other Huaiyang goods. , you can negotiate with the company yourself, I will never interfere."
"Hurry up and thank the Chief Manager."
Before Shen Fu could respond, Shi Naian stepped forward and pushed him hard, banging bricks and nails loudly.
Regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not, the damn guy's life must be saved first.
Otherwise, his trip to Yangzhou would ruin more than just the money-obsessed Shen Fu.
The future of the proud protégé Robben may have come to an abrupt end here.
"Thank you, Chief Manager, for not killing me."
Shen Fu was pushed forward and threw himself forward.
He touched his forehead to the ground and paid homage to Zhu Chongjiu.
"Shen has already thought clearly.
Tomorrow morning, he will buy a house to live in Yangzhou City.
Then he will buy a few decent shops and specialize in grain sales.
From now on, Shen will never leave Yangzhou City without the permission of the general manager. half step" This guy is really risking his life.
Shi Naian and his disciple Luo Ben looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Standing in the position of the two of them, no matter what, I can't figure out why this birdman named Shen is obviously rich in the southeast, why he takes such a big risk just to earn tens of thousands more copper coins?
He is already over sixty years old.
After all, what's the point of having so much money?
At present, the most luxurious family in Jiangnan can spend one hundred thousand yuan a year.
No matter how much it is, it will become nothing more than numbers.
It has no use other than to exchange it for silver ingots and pile them up in the warehouse.
Note 1 Zhu Chongjiu's soul had experienced the baptism of another time and space world, so he became the person in the entire courtyard who could best understand Shen Fu.
Seeing that the latter insisted on using his body as a pledge in exchange for the right to purchase artillery for the family, he was not polite.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to pull the man up from the ground again: "In that case, I would like to welcome Brother Shen to come to Yangzhou for retirement.
You don't have to just deal in food.
In all the industries in Huaiyang that are allowed to be operated by the government, as long as you see If you can, just go ahead and do it.
I promise that I will never look at your Shen family’s business in a different light.”
"Thank you, Chief Manager, for taking care of me."
Shen Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead and thanked him loudly.
Although they had only talked for a few words, he felt that all the energy in his body had been exhausted.
Of all the transactions in my life, none has been more exhausting than this one.
"You're welcome.
I will treat all vendors who dare to come to Yangzhou to do business equally."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and continued, "You don't have to limit your scope of activities to Yangzhou.
If you want to go out to the city, say hello to the prefect's Yamen. , just ask them to send someone to accompany you.
In addition, if you have any other requests, you can also put them forward.
As long as I can make the decision, I can answer you in person today."
"Thank you, thank you, Chief Manager."

Hearing this, Shen Fu quickly bowed and saluted again.
Then he raised his head and said cautiously: "General Manager, um, that 200,000 shi of grain, if it were all loaded in a large dhow, it would be almost, almost, more than 150.
The common people, the common people are afraid that for a while, We can’t get that many boats together at the moment, so, can you please forgive me, the chief manager, and exchange some of the lucky boats for loading?”
"Well, I was negligent."
Zhu Bayi patted his head gently and apologized with a smile.
Previously, I was trying to get a boat from Shen Fu that could be used both on the river and on the sea, but I forgot that the load capacity of Arab ships in this era was far less than that of sand ships and lucky ships.
"One hundred and fifty ships is indeed too difficult for you.
In this way, for the first time, you will send me at least twenty Arab ships.
For the rest, use your Shen family's cargo ship.
After unloading the rice, you can drag the local people with you.
The cargo goes back and I won’t leave any of them behind.”
"Thank you, Chief Manager.
Thank you, Chief Manager."
Shen Fu's waist was like a spring, straightening and bending continuously.
"Don't be too busy thanking me."
Zhu Chongjiu thought for a while and waved his hand gently, "If there are suitable shipbuilders, I would like to trouble you, the Shen family, to help Zhu hire some.
I think of a shipyard that specializes in building this kind of boat that can be used on big rivers.
With ships sailing on the sea, you, the Shen family, can actually come to Yangzhou to open a dock yourself.
As long as the ship is strong and useful, I can buy it directly from you."
"The chief manager, the chief manager said, I want to buy a warship from the Shen family."
When Shen Fu heard this, he immediately stopped thinking about bowing.
His eyes widened and he asked with a trembling voice.
"Shen, Shen is just a businessman."
Since ancient times, government weapons have been made by specialized workshops, such as ordnance supervisors, general supervisors, etc.
Not only are the materials provided by the government, but all levels of management inside are also served by officials, with various grades and unified salaries.
Who has ever thought that businessmen can complete the same task?
Who would believe that businessmen can also be trustworthy and have the qualifications to manufacture weapons for the army?
"Of course, what's wrong?"
Zhu Chongjiu always did things unconventionally.
Today, his choice is the same, "Since the artillery can be made by Huaiyang Company.
Why can't the battleship be given to you, the Shen family?
As long as you can build a warship that satisfies me, I will buy it at the price.
If you If you dare to cut corners, I will not hesitate to immediately return the goods and claim compensation.
Anyway, your shipyard is built on Yangzhou Road, and the monk cannot escape from the temple."
"Shen, Shen will send Quan Zi to the south to recruit men and open a dock on Yangzhou Road."
Shen Fu knelt down without hesitation and announced loudly.
"Get up, get up, don't keep kneeling.
You're not tired, but you're still tired if I help you."
Zhu Chongjiu lifted Shen Fu up with force and teased with a smile.
"General Manager, General Manager Shen, if Shen, if in this life I dare, I dare to do anything that is even remotely sorry for you.
Just, just give in, let the Shen family go bankrupt."
Shen Fu was trembling all over, speaking incoherently.
Not out of fear, but out of excitement.
Although the merchants of the Yuan Dynasty had a high status, they were still pigs raised by the government.
If they wanted to kill them for meat, they could use the knife at any time.

But in Zhu Chongjiu's case, he felt an obvious difference.
Equality, true equality.
Treat businessmen, scholars, officials, and soldiers as the same people, instead of labeling them as different.
While spying on their wealth, they stepped into the mud pit again.
"Business talks" Zhu Chongjiu patted Shen Fu's hand to express comfort, "Zhu doesn't ask you to be worthy of anyone, Zhu just asks you not to violate my Huaiyang rules while making money.
You are a discerning person.
People should be able to see that there are many differences between my place and other places.
Let’s build the shipyard and grain store first.
If it is done well, other new industries, whether it is glass or cement, will have the opportunity to participate in it. " "Definitely, definitely" Shen Fu took Zhu Chongjiu's hand rudely, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and refused to let go.
For someone who was already over sixty years old, he unexpectedly found that his heart was beating faster than ever before.
Battleships can be built, glass can be involved, and cement can also be involved, as long as you abide by the rules of the Huaiyang area.
The rules in the Huaiyang area may seem complicated on the surface, but they are actually simpler than anywhere else in the world.
Hidden rules are never allowed to exist, and the Shen family can still get direct support from Manager Zhu in the future.
This was a harvest ten times higher than what he had expected, and Shen Fu couldn't help but feel excited.
If I had known this, why would I have taken the risk to buy artillery in the first place.
Isn't it that the Shen family supports the Liang family in establishing a country overseas just so that they can be truly treated as human beings, instead of being treated as animals that can make money and be slaughtered for meat at any time?
"Uh-huh."
His face was really dull because of his old friend's servile appearance.
Shi Naian coughed hard and interrupted with a smile, "Brother Shen came to Yangzhou at the right time.
Just based on these few promises from the chief manager. , I’m afraid you’ve made back your one hundred thousand shi old rice with profits, and when you leave the chief manager’s place, Shi will have to kill you.”
"No more, no more."
Shen Fu looked back at him and retracted his hands in a nonchalant manner.
"The 100,000 shi old rice was given as a gift.
Later, Shen asked Quanzi to notify his family to deliver it.
In addition,"
After thinking about it, he solemnly added, "From now on, as long as Shen can buy the grain from Chamcheng and Dachen, he will transport it to Yangzhou at any time.
The price, the price will definitely not be higher than what the Huaiyang store sells.
I don't believe it. , those black-hearted guys who resell food can eat all the food in Nanyang."
This is like Zhu Chongjiu showing his strength.
With the Shen family's ability and their friendship with heroes from all along the coast, it would be easy to overthrow all the grain merchants on Yangzhou Road.
There was no need to go far to Champa to buy rice.
Instead, the grain that the southern government prepared to transport to Dadu by sea was directly transported to Yangzhou on "credit" from the millet that was transported to thousands of households in the Yuan Dynasty.
Then we will find a way to use Champa rice to make up for the shortfall of Fang Guzi.
Anyway, no one can say a strict time for shipping.
In order to protect himself, Fang Guzi transported rice for the imperial court in a slow and steady manner.
He would never transport all the grain consigned by the government to the port in Zhigu at once.
Note 2 Note 1: The purchasing power of ancient copper coins was very high.
The article was written in the late Yuan Dynasty, and the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River was no more than three hundred coppers per stone.
By the early Ming Dynasty, due to the recovery of productivity, three hundred copper coins could buy two and a half stones.
Almost a penny can buy a pound of rice.
Therefore, the value of one penny is equivalent to about three to five yuan today.
Note 2: Fang Guzi is Fang Guozhen.
One of the first green forest heroes to rebel.
Later, he accepted the invitation of the Yuan Dynasty and served as a water transporter for thousands of households.
He was appointed Zuocheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

During the Peasants' War at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was all thanks to his maritime contributions that the capital city of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was not troubled by food shortages.
In the end, this person was surrendered by Zhu Yuanzhang and stayed idle in Nanjing until his death.
Because he always had no ambitions, surrendered decisively, and did not let the coastal people suffer too much from the war.
Zhu Yuanzhang respected him very much, went to pay homage to him in person, and asked Song Lian to write an epitaph for him
