Checks and Balances
Chapter 289:Checks and Balances
The croaking sheep was driven through the gate of Fushun.Zhou Qingfeng came down from the upper floor of the city gate and frowned at the sheep, "These sheep are too thin, do you really tell us to eat bones?"
Wang Kai Wang fat man with a handkerchief wiped his sweat, beaming from outside the gate and smiled: "One hundred adults, I have negotiated with the people of Hada, they will send two hundred sheep in a few days."
Zhou Qingfeng was dissatisfied, and the sheep that had been reaching out in front of him said, "Two hundred are not many, if they are all such thin sheep, what is the use?"
"It's cheap, a sheep only need three or two silver, this is already a rare low price."Wang Kai's round face was full of laughter, and he said, "The road in the north is difficult, these sheep are coming along the way, and they will fall in two or three days."It's all in our hands."
Zhou Qingfeng was dissatisfied but could not do it.Even the most powerful people have to eat and shit, and no powerful force can change the natural environment.Li Yongfang let him get the power of Fushun, get the "money treasure" let him raise enough funds, but he wants to get a lot of meat, but he can only buy from the north of the female and Mongolians.
Love, the sheep is so thin.
“Hada Ministry has not been annexed by the state department?”Zhou Qingfeng frowned and asked.
"The people of Khada's department also want tea, cloth."Wang Kai laughed.
“Can I get the horses from Hatha?”
"They said, 'If you don't give iron tools, they won't give horses.'
Fucking . . !
Most of the land of the Han people is used for planting food, and there is no surplus place for grazing horses.The north is poor, but they have a large pasture to provide horses with relatively adequate cheap food.Originally, the Han people exchanged iron for horses, but now Zhou Qingfeng engaged in trade blockade and resolutely did not give the enemy iron tools.So the real woman did not give Zhou Qingfeng horses.
Zhou Qingfeng wants to use his power to mule and horse, not only to solve the needs of the nearly 100 large animals of the Guard, but also to solve the needs of other workshops, transportation, agriculture and other livestock forces within the force.
Horses and carriages are far more capable than individuals, and the Department of Administration initially estimated that it would take about two thousand horses to have sufficient transport capacity for the entire team to move south.Otherwise, walk by people, prepare to die a group of frail, or even tired are not far away.
“Is the relationship between Tieling and the North Pass closed?”Zhou Qingfeng asked again.
"I sent someone, but the original army officer Marin opened the mouth half of the goods, otherwise we will not let us pass."Wang Kai is also distressed.
The opening of the North Pass is to open the commercial road passage to the Yeh Ministry, and Zhou Qingfeng has not been in contact with Zhuo and Binghuang recently, nor is it clear of their current situation.And he is now lacked horses, naturally thinking of finding help.After all, compared to the state-building department, which is good at fighting, Yeh, a real tribe converted by the Mongols, is better at raising horses.It was too far away from Yeh.
"Marlin, that bastard."Zhou Qingfeng whispered cursed.
Marin is a typical tiger dog.His father Ma Fang was a general of the army who was rarely active in the Ming Dynasty, and as a result, he raised a son who was actually "good literature, poetry, work books, and many people."A good warrior becomes a human being.This guy has a lot of amazing things.
How Zhou Qingfengqiang did, he could not run to the original to kill Marin.At present, in order to get enough horses, he could only compromise with Marin, so he told Wang Kai: "Give Marin Silver and let him put the goods in."He doesn’t want horses, he just wants money.Don't run away, let Mr. Zeng go."
He looked back at the old man who had reported to him before.The old man whispered “yes” and stopped talking.Wang Kai saw that the old man was straight on the cheek, clearly hanging with a smile, but he concealed his anger.
This gentleman was named Zeng Shiqi, and was previously Wang Kai's butler.When Li Yongfang set a trap for Zhou Qingfeng, the Fushun local took the initiative to find Zhou Qingfeng to inform Zhou Qingfeng, and he wanted Zhou Qingfeng to save the people of the city, and could not let Li Yongfang and Wang Kaihu come.
Not long ago, Wang Kai returned from Shenyang to Fushun and took over the position of section chief of the Commerce Section of the Administrative Department.And the once-steward that caused all his calculations to fail became a nail in Zhou Qingfeng's clear placement in the trade department - for Wang Kai, a slippery guy, he was not reassured.But Wang Kai's network, ability is also called good, not this person is too sad.
Seeing Wang Kai's anger, Zhou Qingfeng cold noodles beat him and said, "Extremely, I will say again, today is different from the past."Liaodong is about to be in chaos, and smart people should take refuge in really powerful forces.Now that I am full of Fushun, I have made it clear that Mr. Zeng is a person in the commercial department.If anything happens to him, I will ask you.”
Most of the hands of the whole trade department are Wang Kai's men, and it would be too easy for him to make a moth in Zhou Qingfeng's back.In order to curb him, Zhou Qingfeng specially cultivated the old force.In any case, the two people are not allowed to be satisfied with each other, just to facilitate Zhou Qingfeng control.
Wang Kai can only laugh one or two, and his heart is also aggrieved.Some time ago, he received a letter from Zhou Qingfeng, and in half a day, he quickly returned to Fushun by car.Zhou Qingfeng immediately met him and returned all the assets in the original city.However, Zhou Qingfeng put the old butler who betrayed him into it, which was too disgusting.
But Wang Kai can only accept his fate, excluding the former housekeeper, Zhou Qingfeng in charge of Fushun but good for business exchanges.Officials did not dare to eat and take cards, and all the filial piety to the officials was revoked.In order to attract vendors, Zhou Qingfeng does not even collect taxes, and fair sales are good for everyone.
Zhou Qingfeng, who raised half a million silver coins, is like a black hole, constantly eating all kinds of goods.Wang Kai is in charge of the trade department, Zhou Qingfeng's demand was taken over by himself, he is also an official, making money to earn a wind and water.Half a million dollars must be earned by him at least one hundred thousand two.
“Mr. Wang Kai, you go talk to the real women of the North.”In addition to all the animals, I also need fur.How much do you want, let them send me.The price can be increased by 20% compared to the past.”Zhou Qingfeng began to place orders again, "Northern medicine can also be sent, the more the better."It is best to deliver it within a month.”
Wang Kai nodded and took the command.
Zeng Shiqi, deputy head of the trade department, whispered: "One hundred adults, Wang Kai recently handed over all the items you want to buy to his own shop, for a long time, but it is not right."
Zhou Qingfeng was happy, "You also know that Nurhachi may call at any time, this time the silver is important or the goods are important?"I would like to spend all the money on hand now for all kinds of goods.For Wang Kaizhao, as long as he quickly buys things, it is not a big deal to make him some money.After that, the money won't be so good."
Listening to what Zhou Qingfeng said, Zeng Shiqi was completely relieved.After all, as Zhou Qingfeng's enemy, he carefully studied each other, knowing that the young man in front of him seemed to be wrong, but he had few errors in his calculations.
“Is there a large number of carousels in Wang Kai’s hand?”Zhou Qingfeng asked.
Zeng Shiqi responded to the voice of "yes" and explained in detail: "The essence of Wang Kai's home is the caran team.In the past, only a few cars and horses ran fixed commercial roads.Wang Kai made great efforts to form a caravan of thousands of people, and there were his stacks all over Liaodong.Waiting for others to find out that his goods were fast and cheap, Wang Kai's business was naturally done."
“No, no, no.”Zhou Qingfeng did not hesitate to praise, "The king outside this is early to understand the channel as the king's truth ah."Do you think I might take over this carousel team?”
Zeng Shiqi shook his head, "Hundred adults still do not be too forced for good, Wang Kai would rather not want their own business, but will never give up their own caravan."As long as there is a carn in hand, he can start again."
“Do you know how the car is running?”He smiled and asked Zeng Shiqi.
Wang Kai's butler was a bitter smile, Zhou Qingfeng asked, he must not be able to say.But this is even more so that he and Wang Kai needle-point against Ma Man, the two are afraid of fighting for a lifetime.
"You can do another outsider."Zhou Qingfeng said frankly: "I am now the person who can't carry out trade, so I will force you to come over and count."In the future, when my men cultivate, they will naturally let you be free.If the family had no strength at that time, would they not have been bullied by the royal family?Now, I pay for someone, how do you manage it for your behalf?”
As it turned out, Zeng Shiqi said with a hurried hand: "One hundred adults, once dared not serve?"
"You first sent someone to the Yeh Department to find a way to let the original soldier Marin release the horses we bought."In addition, send someone to take a trip to explore the road.I've sent people before, and I don't know what's going on on the road."Zhou Qingfeng explained.
Zeng Shiqi can probably guess that Zhou Qingfeng should be trying to transfer, he immediately reminded: "If you want to go to Lushun, why don't hundreds of adults take the water?"From the river to the Liao River, from the Liao River into the sea and then to the smooth.The water is much faster and safer than the land.”
Long-distance travel, a person back at most 20 or 30 kilograms of supplies, which also includes eating and drinking Lazarus, not much.A horse can carry a hundred kilograms, and a two-wheeled carriage can carry half a ton.The most ordinary cargo ship can carry at least several tons, or even tens of tons.
Shipping can greatly save physical exertion with the help of water flow.Ancient cities were often built next to rivers, and the convenience of waterways could bring great benefits.
Zhou Qingfeng said, “I also want to walk the water, but I can’t get a boat.”And there is no sailor to sail."
“Wang Kai has.”
“This guy even has a fleet?Why does he have everything?”
"It's not a fleet, it's a two-hundred-dollar cargo ship."If the grown-up asks him for the cargo ship, he will agree."
Two hundred dollars?"The material" is the load unit of ancient Chinese ships, and the material is equivalent to about 90 pounds.Two hundred is less than ten tons.This is a full little boat.But the transport capacity of such a small boat is equivalent to a convoy of twenty or thirty carriages.The advantages of shipping are obvious.
Zeng Shiqi continued: "This ship was bought by Wang Kai, and the crew was hired by the Dunzhou Mariners.The adults want the ship, and the money is hired from the state.The poor soldiers of the Dengzhou Water Division are also bitter haha, as long as they give enough silver, everything is good to say.The only thing that worries is that the Mariners are also soldiers and bandits, and they want to get on the boat to be safe, and they have to use some means.
The Mariner?That means facing the vast ocean.
