Chapter 89: Wang Youcai (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Shanxi Mengxian and Zhendingfu Linxian are separated by only dozens of miles, but the folk customs are very different, in terms of area and population, Mengxian County is not much larger than Linxian, and its streets are much more spacious than Linxian.
But the only thing the two counties have in common is that the people on the streets are ragged, sallow, and malnourished and listless.
Meng County is located at the junction, and there are two rows of sergeants armed with spears standing at the gate of the city.
Liu Hongjian thought that it would be a little troublesome to enter the city, but Gu Ran took out five taels of broken silver from his waist, and several big-headed soldiers who were originally staring at Yang Xue behind Liu Hongjian suddenly set their eyes on the silver with white flowers.
In these years, the most important thing is to be able to eat well, the so-called full and warm thoughts**, first of all, you have to be able to eat and dress warmly, how many ghosts can you have when you are hungry?
Gu Ran led Liu Hongjian and a few people into the city and explained the location of Wang Ji's grain shop, and then went back to his house to wait for news.
Liu Hong walked forward gradually, followed by Yang Xue, Niu Zhuang and Li Baida, two bodyguards, and the two of them were carrying AKMs wrapped in linen.
The Wang family is mainly engaged in trafficking in grain and fur, and is a part-time smuggler, and its financial resources can rank among the top five in Shanxi.
But in Meng County, the native Gu family occupies the right time and place, and the business has been pressing the Wang family's shop, since Lao Gu was arrested, the shop was also seized, and the people had to go to the Wang's shop to buy grain.
The manager of the Wang family grain shop, who has been very idle, has been busy these days, although it is still early in the day, there are no customers in the store, but he is still happily calculating yesterday's accounts.
Seeing that it is the end of the month, and the business is so hot this month, maybe the shopkeeper will be happy to appreciate more silver.
The curtain was lifted, and a young man dressed in brocade entered, followed by a beautiful maidservant and two strong men with five big and three thick.
"Yo, this son, what do you want, our store has good rice and noodles, all of which are new goods received this year!"
Steward Wu is over forty years old this year, and as soon as he saw the face of the person who came in, he knew that he was a big customer, so he hurriedly dropped the account book in his hand to greet him personally.
"Go and go, stay away from my master, how can a little person like you be close to my master?"
Seeing that Steward Wu missed it with a shy face, a big man behind him waved his hand to block Steward Wu outside.
"Yes, yes, son, please! If there's anything you need, just look for it below. Steward Wu was not angry, but stroked his beard a little embarrassed.
In his opinion, the more arrogant you are, the more it means that there is a huge strength behind you, strength is equal to financial resources, and having money means having a big business, so it is natural to be good at entertaining and not slacking off.
I saw this young man walk to the jar where the rice was stored in the store, grab a handful of rice and put it under his nose and sniff it, nodded and shook his head, looking not very satisfied.
"This son, the rice in this store is definitely the highest quality in Meng County, and this is all new goods transferred from the south......" Steward Wu boasted about his own rice.
The young man did not answer, and then grabbed another handful of white flour, and also pinched it decently, but the flour became clumpy and frowned.
"That's what you call new? It's almost moldy, you told Lao Tzu that this is a new product? Liu Hong gradually threw the flour in his hand on Steward Wu's face.
Steward Wu suddenly became a white-faced scholar.
"Childe, this ...... This side is ...... Some of them are damp, and they were originally going to be sold to those people who don't have much money outside, and if the son needs it, the little one will naturally get new goods for the young master, new goods. ”
The more arrogant he is, the happier Steward Wu is, the big customer!
"Hmph, this son is a person who has read countless rice, these rice, noodles, and young master Ben only need to smell it to know the quality!" Liu Hong gradually saw that he couldn't anger the steward in front of him, and frowned.
This TMD's temper is too good!
"Yes, yes, the villain doesn't dare to deceive the child!" Steward Wu took out a handkerchief and touched his face, echoing.
"Go and call your shopkeeper, this is a big business this time, you can't be the master!"
"This ......, don't hide it from the son, the small one has been in this grain shop for more than ten years, you just have to say how much you want, the small one can still call the shots!"
Before the meeting, the rich boy finally said the point, Steward Wu immediately blossomed, the young shopkeeper is indeed good in this store, but the young shopkeeper seems to be doing good things with the maid, how dare he bother?
"Hmph, Young Master Ben needs 500,000 stone white rice, you may have done the master!" Liu Hong snorted coldly and looked at Shopkeeper Wu.
"Ahh......h Ten thousand stones! "The handkerchief of the shopkeeper Wu fell to the ground, although the Wang family has a big business, but even if all the grain stocks of the Wang family's grain stores are mobilized, it is estimated that it is not enough for half!
"Yes, you heard it right, it's 500,000 stones, can you call the shots?"
"This ...... Please wait a while, and the little one will go and inform the shopkeeper. ”
No matter what, I believe that the young shopkeeper knows about this big business, and he shouldn't blame me for ruining his good deeds!
Just as he was weighing the pros and cons, a white-faced young man walked out of the inner room, followed by a pretty woman with a pink face.
"Who's making noise outside!" The white-faced young man seemed to have just finished his physical work, and he walked a little fluttery.
"Young shopkeeper, are you done?" Steward Wu hurriedly greeted each other with a smile on his face, and walked up to help.
"Made, Lao Wu, you scared Lao Tzu, how did you make it look like this?"
Steward Wu was made of a white face, although he wiped it with a handkerchief, his face was still white and yellow, like a white-faced traitor on the stage of later generations.
"This ...... It's a long story, the shopkeeper is a big customer, and he wants to buy 500,000 stone of rice! ”
Steward Wu didn't care about his appearance at all, he approached the white-faced young man with a shy face and whispered, and the white-faced young man looked disgusted.
"Oh?" The white-faced young man looked suspicious, glanced at the person in front of him, and then at Yang Xue behind him, not only his eyes lit up.
He naturally knows that he doesn't have so much rice, but it doesn't matter, his own family is not enough, he can contact several major families, and when the price is lower than that of several major families, he can get a lot of rebates.
The white-faced young man was thinking about it very quickly in his heart, and even thought about how to pit the world friend and the big guy in front of him.
"You're Xiao Wang!" Liu Hongjian was also looking at the young man in front of him who was called the young shopkeeper.
"In Xia Wang Youcai, it is the shopkeeper of this store, I don't know what advice the son has?" The white-faced young man stepped forward and arched his hand, not hearing the sound at all.
It's boring, no humor at all! Liu Hong gradually scolded in his heart.
"In Shangzhao Si, it is the grain official under His Majesty Zhang Xianzhong, the Emperor of Daxi, this official has sent silver to your Wang family this time, but I don't know if your Wang family can eat it!" Liu Hong gradually said unashamedly.
