Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 853

[Chapter 477]

Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-Seven

The heavy rain of the ox-slaughtering knife has relieved the worries of the spring plowing people, but it has also made the road difficult.

(Qi Sail Novel ~ Online Reading Novel)

The road of Henan Road is also muddy. Only in wealthy villages, a few cement paths will be built for people to walk on. As for the mainland, it is still paved with mud and sand, not because they cannot afford to pay, but Can not afford to waste animals.

Walking on concrete roads reduces the number of broken wheels, but the hoofs of the animals are very worn, and the damage to the road is great. Before bicycles were popularized and cars were not invented, only dirt roads were still used.

The merchants who bought garlic estimated the distance and road conditions, and felt that the profits had decreased. They also found that the water transport ships were busy transporting normal goods this season, so their enthusiasm also faded.

The price of garlic in Henan Road remained at three times the usual price. Due to the hype in the surrounding areas, it has not dropped much, and it is still about double.

This price is still artificially controlled, otherwise, according to the new dishes released by Shuiyunjian in most restaurants and people’s homes, no one will buy garlic at all.

Fengzhi Zhenger, who is in charge of Fengqiao, is still collecting garlic, and the price of compensation has been increased by five times, but the payment period has been extended. The security deposit is covered.

Fengqiao Zhenger, who should have been happy, is now worried. Instead of going to the Shuiyunjian next to Luoshui to eat the expensive dishes, he came to a restaurant next to the bridge of a chain bridge by the Yellow River and sat beside the river. He ordered two cold dishes, warm. A pot of wine, eyes staring at the outside rain curtain blankly.

Yamamoto and Shanji have not been very busy recently. They have just received a batch of garlic, and the security deposit is gone. They want to mortgage the silver and sulfur, and the prices given everywhere are very low. The ceremony is not light, and the other party does not let go.

“How much garlic did you collect?” Fengqiao Zhenger asked casually with his eyes still looking outside.

“About 1.4 million catties, the current price is 27 cents per catty, and 21 cents in the capital. According to the proportion of our compensation, we need to pay 50,000 catties, plus bribes to others, It is 63,000 qian, our mortgage money is only this, and there are 720,000 silver and sulfur left that have not been mortgaged successfully, and the part that has been successfully mortgaged has 9,000 qian.”

Shansi is very familiar with this data, Zhang Kou He said it to Fengqiao Zhenger.

Fengqiao Zheng Er did some calculations, and found that the garlic he collected not only didn’t make any money, but lost money, he frowned and said, “No,

this price is not good, we have to raise the price to more than fifty cents to make money, why? The money left is so small? Even if one third of the mortgage is mortgaged, it should be nearly 100,000, and the total is only 72,000.”

“Fengqiao-kun, we are borrowing usury, nine out of thirteen returns,” said It is giving 100,000 guans, but in fact it will give 90,000 kans. When we pay it back, we have to pay back 130,000 kans. This is the principal, not to mention that there are donkeys rolling around. Repay the interest, and the cost of garlic transportation, the rented warehouse, which one is not the money?”

Yamamoto explained.

Fengqiao Zhenger’s brows furrowed even deeper, forming a Sichuan character “Since it is nine out of 13, how come there is still profit and profit?”

“It was set like this at the beginning, thanks to renting the warehouse, otherwise it will all get wet.” Yamamoto replied.

“No, the price of garlic has to go up, is there any way to get money? Damn rainy day.” Fengqiao Zhenger began to complain about the weather.

“Yes, Datang Qianzhuang rumored to limit the mortgage of silver, but I don’t know why, but it has not been implemented, but the price has been lowered. It is said that there is too much silver recently, and the market automatically adjusts. It should be that our loan sharks will send the silver to us. The bank went to the bank to mortgage and cash out.

I guess it was because someone wanted to use the bank to restrict us a few days ago. Later, it was found that it was not good, so it was not implemented. It was just a rumor. I guess it must be an order from Zhang Xiaobao. , the bank is not allowed to directly participate in non-pure financial economic activities.”

Shan Temple is in charge of this matter and knows it very well.

Fengqiao Zhenger smiled contemptuously, “Zhang Xiaobao is stupid. If I were him, I would mobilize all the resources that I could mobilize to limit the opponent, even in terms of administration, but he didn’t allow it.”

Yamamoto was unhappy, saying that Zhang Xiaobao was stupid, he It was even more stupid to lose the first few battles, and then Feng Qiao Zhenger said:

“Zhang Xiaobao is not stupid, he just doesn’t want to do that. The part of the book he wrote that was circulated was not important, and it was mentioned in it. I have been there, unless there is absolutely no way to use the executive order to solve the economic crisis, otherwise it must not be done lightly, otherwise it will easily cause confusion in the functions of the government and increase the dependence on the executive order

. Participating in economic affairs in many places can cause officials to privately use their own power to obtain commercial benefits that they should not obtain.”

“Then his own family is still doing such a big business? He himself is the Jiedushi of Bohai Sea, look at Hebei How much of his family’s business is there in the northern part of the road? Say one thing and do another.” Fengqiao Zhenger sneered at this.

Yamamoto couldn’t say anything right now, and after thinking for a while, he said, “Maybe he will let him out in the future? It’s useless to say that he is useless. The main thing is that he must be meddling in the garlic business now. We have to be careful and be careful. Do

n’t be careless, otherwise the bones will be swallowed by him.”

“I don’t care whether he intervenes or not, we must increase the price of garlic, mortgage all the remaining silver to Datang Qianzhuang, and order our people to directly raise the price everywhere. There are still two months left for the acquisition of garlic, and the price of garlic must rise to fifty cents a pound during this time.”

Fengqiao Zhenger couldn’t count on others, so he had to take the risk of buying it himself, hoping that the Tang Dynasty’s court Don’t count garlic among the necessities of life, so as to put them on a charge of hoarding.

Yamamoto and Shanji couldn’t think of a better way. Seeing Fengqiao Zhengji insisting, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Shansi transported about 600,000 pieces of silver to the Datang Bank in Luoyang. According to the ratio of three to one, it exchanged more than 200,000 pieces of cash, which were distributed into the hands of Japanese people in various places and began to purchase.

As soon as he made his move, Fang Liuer responded first without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao’s order. The telegrams were sent out one by one, ordering the industries belonging to Bi Xiner in various places to transfer funds. She had been waiting impatiently for this day.

Since the money has to be sent to the Japanese in various places, all the ones that are too far will not work, and the radius of the journey to buy garlic is placed within half a month.

The news quickly spread to Zhang Xiaobao, and Moji was very interested in it. He specifically found Zhang Xiaobao and asked, “Zhang Xiaobao, someone has done it, why don’t you do it?”

“If they don’t collect the garlic in person, I will do it, since they At this point, I’m no longer needed, the garlic I transported from Huainan Road will lead the way, and others will take care of it, saving trouble.”

Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile, he didn’t expect Fengqiao Zhenger to take risks. The trick, was finally forced to this step, the people who let the logistics of the wind not consider the weather.

Moji didn’t understand why Zhang Xiaobao didn’t act again, and was even more curious, “Then you watch them act?”

“You will naturally know that my Tang Dynasty is not the previous Tang Dynasty. What is the use of a bull’s knife to kill chickens? I’m not here at noon today. Zhuangzi goes to eat, and goes to the school to have a look, the rain has been heavy these days and the weather is high, let me see if the school has considered it.”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the cattle in the field and said to Mo Ji.

“What should I eat today?” Mo Ji was puzzled.

“Out of the stew, put more ginger slices, preferably beef stew with radish.”

“I’ve tasted it, it’s bitter.”

“When you stew the radish without peeling the skin, of course it’s bitter.”

“Ah? Do you want to peel it?”

As Zhang Xiaobao said, there is no need for him to continue to shoot, the ending of Fengqiao Zhenger has already been determined.

Just when Fang Liuer used Bi Xiner’s property to snipe, other businessmen followed suit.

Luoyang City, Leiting Material Circulation Group, owner Li Chengfang, No. 16 on the Monopoly Top Ranking, as soon as he got the news of Fengzhi Logistics, a temporary emergency meeting was held immediately, and then a transportation team of nearly 30,000 people moved around Henan. stand up.

Suzhou House, Splendid Sundries, female owner Ge Yunfei, 24th on the top list of Monopoly, temporarily transferred 600,000 money, and sprinkled it regardless of success or failure.

Jiannan Road, Yizhou House, Wanliu Trading, Donglong Donglong, the top 71st Monopoly, telegram received information from Kaifeng Office and authorized the use of Wanliu Trading shares as collateral, which was certified by Yizhou. He got 800,000 yuan from the Datang Qianzhuang in Kaifeng, and transferred it to the Shouchun branch to buy garlic on the spot and transport it by water to Luoyang.

Jiangnan West Road, by the Dongting Lake in Yuezhou, Dongting Aquatic Products, owner Yang Yang, the 19th place in the top Monopoly, when he got the news, he immediately ordered the fleet of fish and shrimp into the capital to ship quickly, cleaned the boat, and searched for garlic along the way. merchants, take short-distance transportation, and wait for the opportunity in Luoyang, waiting for other things to come back.

Hedong Road, Fenzhou…….

Shannan Road….

Guan Nei Road….

In this way, people in the state capitals one after another shot, it seems that there is a tacit understanding, everyone who shoots must be within the top 100 of the top 100 millionaires.

Fengqiao Zhenger also thought that he was worried that the garlic would be damaged by moisture and the road would be difficult, so the decision to purchase garlic in person would attract so many people to snipe at him.

It wasn’t because of how much money he had. Even counting the garlic in his hand, it was only 300,000 tons. If he was able to find anyone within the top 100 of the top 100 millionaire rankings, he had a fraction of his net worth.

The sniping at him was a public outrage. Many businessmen in Datang looked down on his method. If the top 100 people in the top rankings wanted to do this, the wave would be even bigger than that of Fengqiao Zhenger. , but one of them did not dare, for fear of Zhang Xiaobao’s shot, the other was that they had a tacit understanding and were unwilling to mess up the economic environment of Datang.

Originally, someone wanted to take action against the logistics of the wind, but they didn’t know how to disrupt the logistics compensation strategy of the other party.

Now I finally see the opportunity, and I have learned a lot from it. It turns out that the easiest way is to change the eating habits of the people in a short period of time, and write off all the other party’s mortgage at once, and then wait for the rainy day to come.

For the rest, forcing Fengzhi Logistics to buy garlic in person, there is no need for Zhang Xiaobao to teach it, and all the businessmen know how to deal with it.

That is to raise the price of garlic, increase the cost of the acquisition by Fengzhi Logistics, and sell garlic to Fengzhi Logistics at an additional price. If Fengzhi Logistics does not buy it, it will be shipped at a low price, so that the price of garlic will never be raised. go up.

The logistics of the wind can’t afford it. They can only take out the money to swallow the goods. If they don’t swallow the goods now, they will swallow them when they wait for the new garlic to come down. Then these people will raise the price of the new garlic. If they swallow the goods now, the price will not go up. At the end of the consumption, you must have money to pay for it. If you don’t take the money, you have to take the garlic, but it is estimated that the previous garlic can be preserved by then. Ship when it is still high, and then wait for the new garlic to come first to buy cheap ones.

If you sell it to you at a high price and you don’t want to eat it, then lower the price so that the garlic you have in your hand can’t sell at a high price. When the price is low, you will eat it. When the compensation period comes, the harvested garlic is almost bad, and the new garlic will be given to you. You are overpriced.

Feng Qiao Zheng Er was stunned by using money to smash people. He knew that if he insisted, the other party would also pay for it. But there are so many people. Do not do.

Fengqiao Zhenger knew this mutual hedging relationship, so scared that he dared not buy garlic again, wondering how he could keep the garlic he collected for as long as possible.

But he found that there is no good way at all. If the quantity is small, what else can be done. The problem is that there are too many now. If you want to keep it for a long time, you will definitely need other things and increase the cost.

“They are really bullying people, don’t they just see how many times I need to pay and compare the losses with me? I hope they can stop it, let me get back the funds, get back more of the mortgaged silver, and think of a way later. Sell, at this time even an immortal is powerless to return to the sky.”

Fengqiao Zhengji said to Yamamoto and Yamaji, who were also worried, as if he was making an excuse for his failure, after all, the other party was too powerful.

Others might agree with his words, but Yamamoto and Shanji absolutely disagree, Yamamoto sighed and said, “Zhang Xiaobao not only counts our principal, but our way, but also the weather changes and other people’s thoughts, This time, he did not continue to take action in person, Fengqiao-kun, hurry up and sell the garlic, we will recognize the loss, we can raise as much as we can, and exchange three times the value of silver first.”

“He continued to take another shot .

How can it be? Isn’t it the same as now?” Fengqiao Zhenger said unconvinced.

“Like now? Fengqiao-kun, you are dreaming. If Zhang Xiaobao continues to take action, only we will pay for it. He will not bet against us like other businessmen. Awesome.”

Yamamoto glared at Fengqiao Zhengji and scolded him when he saw that Fengqiao Zhengji still refused to admit defeat and was about to die.

Shansi also nodded and said: “Yes, Zhang Xiaobao can’t see it with common sense, if he doesn’t say anything else, just say that he is in our position now, he can also turn the tide, the same money, the same principal, he will not lose. Yes

, he definitely has a way to make money under the circumstance of attacking everywhere.

Otherwise, why do you think the businessmen of Datang are so honest? When doing business, all businessmen in Datang follow Zhang Xiaobao’s code of conduct. They are afraid of Zhang Xiaobao, they know the consequences of Zhang Xiaobao’s anger, even if they unite, they are not opponents.”

“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe Zhang Xiaobao can be so powerful.” Fengqiao Masaru shouted vigorously.

Yamamoto shook his head and sighed, “Hey~ there were a lot of people who didn’t believe in evil at the time, but that person from Tubo was able to make it into the top ten of the top rankings, and even hid his strength. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were fighting outside, he took action, thinking he would be able to. Seriously injured Jiannan Road.

What was the result? A letter sent to Zhang Xiaobao, let Zhang Xiaobao find out the problem, and then remote control thousands of miles away, the man even lost the money, but Zhang Xiaobao seized the opportunity and kept putting it away. Tubo was ruined.”

“That’s right.” Shansi continued: “Later, Yamamoto and I didn’t believe it either. , came up with the formula of ginseng, and bought a lot of cement, and then all the money was gone.

The people in Silla didn’t believe it, so they had to go to Changning to deceive Li Xun’s younger brother Li Yu, and Li Yu went to Xincai County to manage My brother borrowed money and met Zhang Xiaobao. After returning, the people of Xinluo lost all the money, and now they are still trapped. They work for others

for nothing. They traded with Zhang Xiaobao again and joined forces with him in the military. As a result, the entire tribe was gone. Later, the two wanted to build the Nihe River. The Xinluo clan refused to accept it and arranged for Li Dong to find someone to make trouble. Now Li Dong and the others paid for the river. , the one million dollars in road repair costs will not come back now.

You are not the first, nor will you be the last, but the ending is the same, that is, whether you believe it or not, you will be right with Zhang Xiaobao. , there is no doubt that we will lose.”

“Then you say, what would happen if Zhang Xiaobao was in our position?” Fengqiao Zhenger was unable to refute what he said, so he had to ask for advice.

Yamamoto and Shanji shook their heads at the same time, “I don’t know, we are not Zhang Xiaobao.”

When the three of them were thinking about this matter, others were also thinking about it, but others were more relaxed than them.

On the banks of the Luoshui River, in a private room on the fifth floor near the river between Shuiyunjian, there was a clattering sound, and then it stopped, and then the sound became much quieter.

“Dongfeng.”

“Very good, touch, two.”

“I’ll eat.” “Stop, I touch, Yaoji.”

“Eat, white board.”

“Five of a kind.”

“I eat.” “Stop, I touch, red hit.”

“Are you guys cheating me together? It’s been two laps, I haven’t played a card, are you watching me leave? The farthest, from Jiannan Road, do you think I’m easy to bully?”

The person who had eaten twice in a row and couldn’t eat them quit.

“No, just in time, I can’t do it if I don’t touch it, let you eat.” The man quickly persuaded him to go home.

When the circle came, the people who didn’t eat twice came to the house “30,000.”

“Eat, I can’t eat at 30,000. Does anyone else touch it?”

No one said, “Then I hit, Nanfeng.”

” Kong, oops, someone will wrap the Kong, and the three cents will be in hand.”

“I don’t play anymore.” The person who had two byes finally played a card, and let the Kong go again, said angrily.

“Don’t, didn’t I let you eat it? I didn’t touch it. Look, I have two thirty thousand in my hand. You have a bad idea, isn’t it just three cents of money? As for this?”

Xiajia quickly persuaded.

“It’s not about money, you guys bullied me together, just like we bullied Fengqiao Zhenger together, I can see that someone can win with such bullying?”

“Why not, it depends on who it is, if it’s Zhang Xiaobao , he won’t be afraid when we partner, we guarantee that there will be a trick to crack.” The man said to the house.

“Why don’t I believe it, this time it’s us jointly using money to smash the logistics of the wind, even if we win, if he fights to the death, we will also pay for it, and let the person he consigns earn, and the win is not honorable, boring, want to It’s not an order from the headquarters. I really don’t want to go into the muddy waters this time, playing cards. If you have a kong, you are playing with a kong. I’ll definitely come back with a kong. Let’s say it first. Hu will not give it.”

“I’ve never seen you play like this, okay, I’ll fire a gun in a while and I’ll get your money back, Jiu Bing, let me tell you, it’s not something you can’t go through in the muddy water, this time let others Anyone with ideas understands that I am not so easy to deceive the money of the Tang Dynasty.

Didn’t you see who was shooting this time? The top 100 in the top rankings, Fang Liuer moved first, Zhang Xiaobao did not speak, That is the default, let us do it, don’t move, I will return the kong with one pie, Bei, I will not regret playing the north.”

“I remember you, two kong, the opponent is dreaming, draw the card.”

“No, I Just thinking about it, Jiutiao, I think, Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t make a move, does he know that if he makes a move, he will fight against the wind and the logistics, and it is estimated that we should move.”

“Nine, no, eight, I want to say…”

“Touch, nine ”

Did you support it? Hit two nines in a row, UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com gave me another round, right? Okay, you can, two rounds, hit me twice, and then round, are you still ready?” Bar?”

“How do I know he has two eights in his hand, if I tell you, Zhang Xiaobao will never let us pay, if you don’t believe it, just watch, his tricks are unpredictable, two cakes.”

“Touch, I’m here .

It’s useless to have two biscuits in the second hand, I didn’t mean to let you take another bye, and I will definitely not touch it next time.”

“You don’t have a few cards in your hand, so what are you going to touch, it’s up to you. , can you still make a nine-tow?”

“Me? Well, I’ll catch it, oops, I’m sorry, I’m so stupid, thank you, thank you everyone.”

“You three can play by yourself, I’ll go and watch them play Pai Gow, live I can’t afford to be angry.”

“I gave you two money.”

“I owe it.”

At this time, all the businessmen who participated in the operation received a telegram: “Do what they want, and make sure you don’t lose money, Zhang Xiaobao.”
