dye Zunshan, the roads are rutted, and the flags and flags attract people.

(

Reading Network) The day goes and the moon shines.

The Masi people bowed in the mud, the wind was calm, and the rain fell.

During the spring ploughing season, those who hoped for more rain suddenly found that the rainy season had a tendency to prolong, which added a little worry.

After Li Longji’s order, the temporary disaster relief department quickly started operation, and sent telegrams to the state capitals to let them check the Changping positions. If there are any missing, report them in time. The family business sent an order for requisition. If material supplies were needed, the business of the Zhang and Wang families had to come up with something.

They knew that the Changping warehouse would be empty, and the Zhang and Wang families would definitely be prepared for their business. If Zhang Xiaobao was not busy with other things, and he didn’t want to follow the disaster in the Tang Dynasty all day, he would have already distributed the supplies in the disaster area.

Many people speculated that Zhang Xiaobao did not act this spring because he was afraid that he would lead the disaster relief every time. In the end, the people only remembered the Zhang and Wang families, but did not know the imperial court’s kindness.

There have been no major disasters on Henan Road today. This section of the Yellow River was deliberately reinforced due to bridge repairs, but it has never been washed away.

On the river bank, there are countless vehicles passing by, the muddy road is full of ruts, and occasionally it gets stuck.

“Mother, walk slowly, the road is slippery and broken, and it is difficult to walk in the rain. You should build a three-foot-wide concrete sidewalk, wait for the child to write a letter at night, and send it to the Ministry of Engineering in the capital tomorrow at the school for Zhang Shangshu to read. Let’s see if I can find someone to pay for it.” The

fourteen- or fifteen-year-old boy on the road walked with a woman with difficulty, his trousers on his calf were covered with mud, and he said to the woman as he walked.

The woman frowned slightly and persuaded: “How can you manage the important matter of road construction? Even if you write a letter, you must first send it to Luoyang Mansion, the eastern capital.”

“Zhang Shangshu is not in Luoyang. I can’t expect officials in Luoyang to do their best. Why can’t I take care of big things? I took the exam last year, and I think I will contribute to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of money from merchants? material.” The

teenager made excuses for himself to get his mother to agree.

Seeing her son’s stubbornness, the woman sighed and said, “Chaoyang’s action has resulted in more and more juren, and you won’t be able to get a good ranking in the imperial examination. Your juren status will be worthless in the future.

” Chunwei,

but to increase knowledge, to understand the truth, to understand the righteousness, the child has studied chemistry in the school, and the soap made by himself is not very good? Look at Zhang Wang’s two inner courtyards, or the identity of the servant, compared to the knowledge, the child admits himself Why do

n’t you. Mother, why did you come to the boy’s side again? There are so many vehicles passing by and the horses are tired and crazy. Be careful to lose your temper and kick people. When you go to the other side, the

boy

‘s body is very sensitive, and even if he encounters a crazy horse, he can dodge it.”

As he spoke, he pulled his mother back.

The woman was helpless and had to listen to her son. She actually went there on purpose. If there was any danger, she could help her to block it.

“Mother, let’s go to the grass. I heard from other students in the school that there is a war going on in Henan Road. It’s called a war without swords and arrows. The Japanese flow of wind is looking for trouble. I, a businessman from the Tang Dynasty, can’t see it. Here’s how

to deal with it.

Mother, look at the banner of Splendid Grocery. Mother, don’t think that they are only businessmen, but they are not small. I heard that the businessmen who came this time are all among the top 100 in the top 100 richest list. Inside, they are famous in various places, and if you take one out, it can affect the fluctuation of local prices.” The

teenager saw a group of cars passing by, pointing to the flag and introducing to his mother.

“You really have such great skills, so you’re not messed up yet? I haven’t seen any prestige from them. We still have two in Luoyang. The mother of rice noodles still thinks it’s the same.” Women usually don’t care much about this kind of thing, I know Little, listen to the evil son’s words, and there are many unbelief in the words.

The young man walked to the nearby tree, broke a willow branch, and scratched in front of him, afraid that a grass snake would suddenly jump out and bite, he smiled and said to his mother,

“Mother, you don’t know, it’s not that they can’t do it, but they don’t dare. The people on the leaderboard are very powerful, but there is another person who is even more powerful than the leaderboard. Zhang Xiaobao, the son of Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, is about the same age as the child. The businessmen on the leaderboard dare to attack the local economy. It’s a pity that I have never seen him.”

“Xiaobao? Mother Xiaobao knows that she has seen it, as well as his daughter-in-law, Cuckoo, who is called a water spirit. She has big eyes and can talk. It looks like a prosperous husband, with a submissive temperament, virtuous and generous, but he is very happy.” The woman finally knew something.

“Ah? Mother, have you seen it? What does it look like?” The young man became interested.

“It’s not as good-looking as my son. Compared to me, my son is the most beautiful in the Tang Dynasty. Even if I can’t get into the jinshi in the future, I will find a wife like the cuckoo cuckoo, and my mother will be content.” The woman looked like her son. it’s the best.

The boy nodded helplessly, “My child also thinks that my mother is the best mother in the world, but you are really demanding on your daughter-in-law… It’s really embarrassing for the child, and the child doesn’t think she is submissive and cheerful.”

“Why not be submissive and virtuous? Everyone will laugh, be steady, and mother likes it.” The woman wanted to set the standard for her daughter-in-law.

The young man shivered, “Mother, she was steady when she rode outside the frontier, and when she murdered her corpses piled up like mountains, and when the blood flowed into rivers, she also blinked her cute big eyes and smiled. Everyone said, “I would rather hear the King of Hell cry than see the devil.” Lol, even if the baby can find such a person, he would not dare to marry. Nightmares can be frightened to death. Only a person like Zhang Xiaobao who jokes about destroying the country has the ability to calm down.

Ah, mother, the baby suddenly remembered something important. I have eaten garlic, and I, a Tang merchant, are fighting a war with Fengzhi Logistics on garlic. On the one hand, I want to raise the price, and on the other hand, I am worried that ordinary people will have a hard time. We have to help them and reassure them.

” , Little Japan, that shabby place, dare to argue with Tang Tang and let him know how powerful it is.” The woman deliberately straightened her body and said disdainfully, showing the arrogance that Tang people should have.

Not only the woman thinks this way, but other people who understand the situation also support it. Isn’t it just that you don’t eat garlic for two months. Now that your life is better, you can eat everything else.

As a result, the merchants who participated in the sniping found that things became clearer, and the operation was easier. The price of garlic was adjusted up and down with the movement of Fengzhi Logistics, so that Fengqiao Zhenger did not take any advantage.

Fengqiao Zhenger slept unsteadily for several days, his eyes were red, his skin was wrinkled, and he was as haggard as foxtail grass under the rain, but not as tough as foxtail grass.

The purchase of 50,000 tons of garlic at a high price only affected the price of garlic in some areas, and did not lead to a large-scale price increase at all. If you want to sell garlic, but you can’t sell it, the people of Henan Road have a tacit understanding not to eat garlic. Now, even Zhang Xiaobao didn’t expect this. If he wants to sell it far away, transportation is another problem.

Garlic piled up like a mountain cannot be taken care of due to storage and storage, damp in rainy days, moldy, shriveled, or even directly rotted at the bottom, and loses a lot every day.

“Hahaha…” A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and Fengqiao Zhenger, who was standing at the window, suddenly laughed out loud, making Yamamoto and Shanji tremble. He thought Fengqiao Zhenger was crazy and was about to take some measures. Qiao Zhenger stopped laughing.

“Wow, I arrived at Datang on the second day of Fengqiao, and actually made dozens of people from the top rankings of Datang attack me at the same time. Although I lost You Rong, who can I ask? Who in the world can attract so many people like me? At the same time? Even if I lose, they will make me famous.”

Yamamoto and Shanji nodded lightly. Indeed, there have never been dozens of top ranking people in Datang who shot against one person.

Yamamoto was planning to echo two sentences, but after thinking about it, it was not the case at all. Even if dozens of businessmen did not unite and took out one person at random, relying on the family’s property, the money that Fengqiao-kun has in his hands is just that of others. A fraction of the money, the reason for this is to reflect the unity of the businessmen of the Tang Dynasty, and it feels like it is made for Zhang Xiaobao.

After hesitating for a moment, Yamamoto resisted the thought that he said, and it is better not to block Fengqiao-kun.

Feng Qiaozheng’s face was flushed and excited, and he continued: “I have a solution, I will collect onions and ginger, and I still have a lot of money in my hand. I don’t believe that Datang people don’t eat anything, I make them busy. ”

Fengqiao-kun, you can’t do it, you can’t do it, what can the chaos in the Tang Dynasty lead to? You collect it yourself, it is estimated that at the beginning, the price of the onion and ginger will rise immediately. Several times, even ten times, dozens of times, increasing our acquisition cost.”

Yamamoto felt that Fengqiao-kun was really crazy, and the sulfur and silver he brought when he came was worth one million, and now he will withdraw immediately, and the rest will be If it is less than 400,000 kangaroos, if you go to collect onions and ginger, you may end up with nothing left. You come here to make money, not to get angry.

Fengqiao Zhenger shook his head, “If the price increases, then their people will not eat it? I want to see what else Zhang Xiaobao can do to discredit him and break his myth.”

“Yamamoto-kun, Fengqiao-kun, Shansi-kun, Henan Dao All supermarkets have issued notices.” When Fengqiao Zhenger made up his mind, a Japanese man ran in outside and shouted loudly to the three of them.

“‘That drowning’? What’s the notice in the supermarket?” Fengqiao Zhenger didn’t even know how to speak, and a native phrase came up, meaning ‘what’.

“It’s about the onion and ginger. The supermarket notice says that starting tomorrow, all supermarkets in Henan Road will supply onion and ginger at a limited price. Ten days later, garlic will be available at a low price. People in Henan Road can buy it with their household registration and say yes. Welcome the spring ploughing, a big reward.”

The Japanese who came in said, he meant that the price of garlic would drop in five days, but he didn’t know that Fengqiao Zhenger just wanted to make onions and ginger.

Yamamoto listened, and whispered to Shansi: “Is it over? The supermarket was started by Zhang’s family. The surrounding area is surrounded by their chain supermarkets. There are many businessmen who cooperate with them. Before Fengqiaojun can do it, Zhang Xiaobao has blocked the road. , the time card is really accurate, but I wonder, where will the garlic come from after ten days? Adjusted from other places? Would you rather lose money and sell it?”

“I don’t think so, how can Zhang Xiaobao do the same as other Datang businessmen? That’s not Zhang Xiaobao. Look, there are so many things to do, do you still remember Zhang Xiaobao’s tricks?”

“Remember, if you figure out a chain, you should have stopped early. The group of garlic from Huainan Road who came to attack our margin came over. If you stop immediately, maybe the loss will be small. Fengqiao-kun doesn’t believe that evil, hey~”

Yamamoto dared not continue .

After thinking about it, there was a psychological shadow. He waved his hand and let the Japanese who came to report leave. He turned his head to look at Fengqiao Zhenger, who was stupid in the local area, and sighed.

It took a full quarter of an hour for Fengqiao Zhenger to recover from the blow. “What should I do? What should I do?”

“Fengqiao-kun, go to Datang Qianzhuang to get the silver back, and remove the money that was given to the Qianzhuang. Interest, there should be 350,000 tons of silver, and the garlic accumulated in the hands should be sold as soon as possible, in order to make a comeback.”

When Yamamoto came up with the idea, he wanted to cry without tears. There are more than 400,000 tons of goods left, plus the unsecured sulphur, two months, 500,000 tons, what kind of business can pay like this?

Next, there is the storage cost of the goods. Because it is not the country of Datang, other countries need to specify the storage location and use before it is shipped to Datang. Now it has been exposed, and a tariff needs to be added, because when it came in It went with the tribute from Japan. The offerings have not been sent to the capital, so the purpose of other things is unknown.

Thinking back and forth, Zhang Xiaobao will solve this loophole in tribute, I just hope that there will be no additional punishment.

Fengqiao Zhenger couldn’t think of any other way, so he nodded and agreed: “Okay, Yamamoto-kun and Shansi-kun help me.” The

three of them carried the loan contract signed with Datang Qianzhuang and the remaining banknotes, and went out to Datang in the center of Luoyang. Bank to go.

Just arrived at the place, without waiting to speak, one person approached first, and said to the three with a smile on his face: “But Fengqiao-kun, Yamamoto-kun, and Shanji-kun?”

“Who are you?” Yamamoto asked in confusion.

“I’m the foreign affairs deacon of the inner courtyard of Zhangjiazhuangzi in Sanshui County, Xu Si, this should be Lord Yamamoto. When I received the news, the young master once said that the logistics of the wind will not be lost at one time. Japan is a great country, and the Tang Dynasty is also a great country. The people of the Tang Dynasty are kind and wise, and the people of Japan are kind and wise.

Yamamoto-kun and Shanji-kun have suffered losses. The young master believes that the two can correct their mistakes. He will persuade Fengqiao-kun to come over and repay the loan. He also said that Yamamoto-kun is very loyal and has many words. The time is short, and there is no answer. The first person to speak must be Yamamoto-kun.

”

This person called himself Xu Si. He first said two diplomatic rhetoric, and then named Yamamoto’s identity and told the reason.

In an instant, the clothes behind Yamamoto and the three were wet with sweat. Fengqiao Zhengji was the most intense, not only sweating a lot. , his face also turned pale.

He finally saw the power of Zhang Xiaobao. He knew that Zhang Xiaobao was staying in his hometown in Sanshui County. After such a distance, the telegram came, not only blocked his other thoughts, but also made the inner courtyard wait. In Qianzhuang, and at the beginning of the meeting, I knew who would speak first.

I only knew that Zhang Xiaobao was not small in economics, but Zhang Xiaobao had already analyzed the personalities of the three of them. Are they really impeccable?

Yamamoto is still normal and used to Now, he admitted: “Yes, I’m Yamamoto, I don’t know when Xu Jun was waiting?

”

If I say help you, you will definitely think that I am hypocritical. I will tell the truth, the young master is going to teach a lesson to the businessman who still buys garlic at a high price and asks you to ship it knowing that you are raising the price of garlic. He wants to take over the logistics of your wind and bid Ten thousand.

It is an exchange, a condition of exchange, and you will not be held accountable for the real goods you buy and sell in the name of tribute, but you must make up for the tax that should be paid. The silver is 100% collected, and the sulfur is tax-free, because I need sulfur in the Tang Dynasty, young master. Said, the last chance, to agree or not to agree?

”

Xu Si didn’t say polite words, and told Yamamoto three young masters very bluntly.

“Yes.”

“Yamamoto and Shanji said at the same time, and they didn’t seem to think about it. That’s a joy. Fengqiao Zhengji

was still thinking about what Xu Si said, and he wanted to estimate the gains and losses. Seeing that the two had agreed, he was very puzzled. The two have finished analyzing the gains and losses?

“Fengqiao-kun, since Zhang Xiaobao sent someone to tell us, he must not deliberately laugh at us and bully us. He disdains to do that. The conditions he put forward must be the best for me and others at present. The consequences of not agreeing are unimaginable.

” Qiao Zhenger was puzzled, why he and Shansi agreed happily, because of this.

Fengqiao Zhenger immediately lost the arrogance that he wanted to be on an equal footing with Zhang Xiaobao at the beginning. He found that he was too far behind, not a level at all. No wonder Zhang Xiaobao made a decision. Datang businessmen, even those who are famous on the top rankings, should take the initiative. In terms of economics, it is a god-like existence.

Just as in Buddhism, his ancestors pointed to the sky with one finger and the ground with the other.

“I don’t know… I don’t know how Zhang Xiaobao is going to teach them a lesson?” Fengqiao Zhenger’s voice was vibrato when he spoke. He wanted to know what Zhang Xiaobao would do with Fengzhi Logistics, but he really couldn’t think of it.

“If Fengqiao-jun is not in a hurry to return to China, we will find out later, let’s sign the contract.” Xu Si said with a smile.

Fengqiao Zhenger nodded his head blankly, “Okay, okay, one more thing, where will the garlic come from in Henan Dao supermarket ten days later?

” An important technical formula has been exchanged for a large amount of Silla garlic. During this period of time, it has been transported to Henan Dao at the fastest speed. After eight days, it can be fully distributed, and it will take one day to deploy and put on the shelves, and it can be bought on the tenth day.”

Xu Siye He didn’t hide it, but he didn’t say what kind of technical formula, which made the three of Yamamoto’s hearts itch.

Fengqiao Zhenger wanted to wait for a later investigation, so he paid the money back and made an estimate. In addition, Datang was willing to pay more to buy sulfur. After paying the 100% tariff on silver, he had almost no money left. Pursuing other aspects, it is really ruthless.

“Xu Jun, the other businessman Zhang Gongzi won’t compensate?” Fengqiao Zhenger asked another thing, he didn’t believe that Zhang Xiaobao didn’t care.

“Of course not, otherwise who will help in the future?” Xu Si said with a mysterious smile.
