At about the same time, Zhao Hao, under the leadership of Ji Sizheng, came to a yard located on the east bank of Lugou Bridge.

There is a rudimentary adobe fence outside the yard, and when you enter the gate, you will see piles and piles of coal.

"Where is this place coming from?" Zhao Hao stood at the door, looking at the rectangular yard that was two hundred zhang long from east to west and one hundred zhang wide from north to south.

"This was a royal inn. Lugou Bridge is a place where goods from the north and south gather, and the predecessors built such an open-air storage yard for the temporary storage of goods purchased and shipped by the emperors. ”

"During the orthodox years, the Tartars began to pay tribute to Beijing, but Wan Sui Ye was unwilling to let them enter Beijing, so he ordered them to settle outside Beijing. And they carried thousands of cattle and hundreds of wagons of fur with them at a time, so they needed a spacious place, and finally they made it available to them. Then I heard that Ji Sizheng introduced: "But since the first emperor, the Tartars are no longer allowed to pay tribute, and they will be idle here for twenty years, until His Royal Highness takes charge of the matter, and he will not be brought back from the hands of Honglu Temple." ”

"However, the imperial store already has another yard, and it is too troublesome to move back. His Royal Highness gave it to the merchants, and he could earn a few thousand taels of rent a year. ”

"That's for sure." Zhao Hao nodded thoughtfully, Lugou Bridge is the only way for Beijing to enter and exit the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although there are not so many people on the street because of the Chinese New Year, you can imagine how prosperous it will be on weekdays by looking at the storefronts lined up along the Yongding River and the large trestle bridge that stretches for miles.

He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, if he wasn't his own, he wouldn't be careful in his calculations. If a private owner owns such a large storage yard of 180,000 square meters, it is guaranteed that all warehouses will be built like Bailuzhou.

In that case, the warehouse fee alone is several times higher than now.

But the place that Himeji is choosing is really perfect.

If it is too close to the capital, so many displaced people will gather, and the government will be nervous again; It is far away and remote, and it is inconvenient in every way. Placing it in Lugou Bridge perfectly solves these two problems.

Moreover, the Yongding River is connected to the moat through the Jinkou River, and the prepared coal lotus can directly reach the city gates of the capital by waterway, so the transportation is also very convenient.

"I don't have to say anything about my adult's vision, so let's settle here!" put away the regret in his heart, Zhao Hao made a decision on the spot.

"Okay. It's all your own place, and there's no hurry about the formalities or anything, and today it's going to be the son. Ji Sizheng said, and invited merit again:

"As soon as Gongzi said it, our family thought of this place. Let people ask, there are still more than 30 million catties of coal here, if the son is interested, we will make them cheaper. ”

"It doesn't have to be cheap." But Zhao Hao smiled faintly: "The loose coal in Beijing is 100 wen per 100 catties, so let's collect it at this price." ”

After a pause, he smiled at Ji Sizheng with great meaning: "The adults will help people to the end, and the matter of collecting coal in the future will be all entrusted to the adults, all at this price." ”

Thirty million catties sounds like a lot, and when converted into a later unit of weight, it is only 15,000 tons of coal. It's not enough for 20,000 households to burn for a winter......

"Oh?" Ji Sizheng's heart trembled, he knew that a human spirit like Zhao Hao would not lose his own benefits.

But I didn't expect Zhao Hao to be so generous......

Since His Royal Highness is going to take a stake in the coal business, Ji Sizheng, as a competent foreign director, naturally has to do his homework to prepare for the advisor.

After a few days of making up for it, he knew that the wholesale price of loose coal in Zhaitang was 70 or 80 wen per 100 catties, and when it was shipped to the capital to sell, it could rise to 100 wen.

Although Lugou Bridge is only less than 20 miles away from Jingshi, because it is on the Yongding River, it can go down the river directly from Zhaitang, so it is only 90 Wen per 100 catties of loose coal.

Zhao Hao gave him a hundred yuan, and the difference of ten yuan was naturally a benefit fee for Ji Sizheng.

Don't look at ten cents is not much, but 30 million catties is 300,000 tencents, which is a full 3,000 taels of silver!

The eldest princess is too shrewd, and Ji Si is tired and tired for a year, that is, to make ten thousand taels of silver. This is more than he earns in a season......

Even if Zhao Hao does not buy coal in the future, this money will be a windfall for Ji Sizheng.

"Childe, this is too much...... "After all, he is an old and serious person, and he is a little worried about Zhao Hao, whether he is a second pole like the little lord.

"It's okay, there's still a lot of room to rely on adults." Zhao Hao smiled indifferently, and then said:

"My only request is that as much coal as I need in the future, the adults must deliver it on time and in good quantity. Otherwise, in order to avoid delaying the construction period, I would have to find another way. ”

"Don't worry, Childe!" Ji Sizheng patted his chest and said, "If I missed my son's business, I spit out all the food I ate." ”

Saying that, he reported it to Qiongju again: "There is also a big truck that transports coal to the capital, and I will also give you all the bags, so I will give you the opening gift of Gongzi!" ”

The large board car is simple to manufacture and very cheap, even if it is not worth a thousand taels.

But the amount Zhao Hao needs is too big, and he can't buy so much with money. Even if you find a carpenter, you can't do it in a month.

Only Ji Sizheng, the chief manager of countless Huangzhuang Huangdian under his command, can put together a thousand cars for him in a few days.

"That's really the urgent need of this son." Zhao Hao was overjoyed when he heard this: "I really rely on my lord." ”

"Childe is serious, it's good if he can help." Ji Sizheng also smiled.

Both of them felt their friendship with each other, and they took a big step forward.

~~

The two of them walked around the yard, and Ji Sizheng said again: "By the way, Your Highness considered that Gongzi was short of manpower, so he specially asked our family to select a hundred loyal and stable slaves from the store to give to Gongzi." ”

A hundred slaves......

For Childe......

To Childe......

Son......

Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this, his mother was too arrogant, right? Even people are sending hundreds of ......

Although he can't accept human trafficking, if someone sends it, how should this be calculated?

"There's no shortage of people in the store, right?"

"On New Year's Day, our family didn't lie to anyone, the store was really overcrowded, and I wish someone could help share it." Ji Sizheng tightened the collar of Mink Qiu, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, a hundred sons, they are all capable men I have carefully selected, and none of them are fooling." ”

"That's it, let's take it first, I can't live up to my mother's wishes...... a certain filial son thought unprincipledly, and said with a grateful smile: "It's really my son's luck to be able to make friends with adults." ”

"It's an honor for our family." Ji Si was busy smiling humbly, and then ordered the little chamberlain who was with him to call someone.

After a while, more than a hundred men wearing azure silk jackets and all kinds of winter hats entered the yard.

As soon as they saw Ji Sizheng, they hurriedly trotted forward and talked about New Year's greetings from afar.

"Look, this is our Royal Highness's precious godson, your new master, Zhao Gongzi!" Ji Sizheng kept a straight face and shouted at those people.

When a hundred people heard this, they knelt in front of Zhao Hao and said loudly:

"The villain meets the master, please lecture the master!"

is worthy of being a royal servant, he meows, full of momentum...... almost didn't burst Zhao Gongzi's eardrums.

"From now on, I'll call him Childe." Zhao Hao endured the buzzing sound of tinnitus and corrected their salutation.

You rough men are also worthy of being called 'master'? It's disgusting......

"Yes, Childe!" A hundred people said in unison.

"Get up."

"Gongzi Xie!"

After the slaves got up, Ji Sizheng admonished them again, saying that being able to devote himself to the prince's mansion was a blessing from the previous life; Who doesn't cherish it, don't blame yourself for being unkind.

Although the slaves only regarded this as a cliché, they still appropriately showed honor and happiness.

Then Zhao Hao announced three temporary disciplines to them - no abuse of workers, no deduction of wages, no eating inside and outside!

Whoever dares to violate one article will be returned to Ji Sizheng immediately.

Ji Sizheng also nodded cooperatively beside him, revealing a sinister expression and said, "If the son returns one, our family will kill one!" Return a pair and kill a pair! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" The slaves felt a chill down their spines after a while, and Ji Si was ruthless, but it was well known.

He said that whoever he wanted to kill would not live long......

Ji Sizheng will neither tell Zhao Hao, nor will he tell them that in fact, the eldest princess's move has a great plan to change the cage for a bird and prepare for a new stove in the future.

How can these young and powerful guys be allowed to be decadent casually?
