Chapter 966 Premiums
And Yusheng's shopkeeper is bent on getting this matter right, although he knows that this kind of thing is not urgent, he must wait for someone to accept it slowly, and after a long time, there will naturally be business, but the heart is not in a hurry is also false, the grassland is fighting fiercely, there is no wind on the Ming side, just a few thousand northern captives are scared or something, thousands of miles along the Great Wall and several military towns are under martial law, if it is not for the people in power and a few points, I am afraid that the Beijing division will get martial law, think about it funny, and Yusheng with the power of a business house and the 100,000 people of the Northern Chahar Department confronted and fought fiercely on the grassland, and thousands of people from the north came to the mouth of the Great Wall, and as a result, they got the Ming grass and trees are all soldiers, and the strength and weakness are too obvious......
"Third brother, it's done. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Shi Congbin has been anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he has been looking forward to it, but he finally brought Shi Congde back, and when he saw that his cousin was very determined, he immediately put down his heart.
"In Xia Xiang Fu Shi Congbin." Shi Congbin lined up everyone, walked to the shopkeeper, and said calmly: "I once hated you and Yusheng, since I said that the insurance thing will not be refused, I have six thousand taels of silver to insure, I don't know if you accept it or not?" β
"That's it."
"He's so thick-skinned."
"No, I heard that the last run was caused by this person in collusion with the government...... It's funny to say, the imperial court is becoming more and more jealous of He Yusheng, but he doesn't want to think about it, if people don't believe in the imperial court, and the matter of retrieving and rescuing the Thirteen Mountains makes such a big move, what does the imperial court know? Now like this, who will dare to contribute to the imperial court in the future! β
This statement is also the most important reason why the apocalypse and the ministers of the court have always continued to let go of He Yusheng, one is that after all, He Yusheng is only doing business in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, with the Ming monarch and ministers have always known, businessmen are the most unthreatening group of people, even if they are rich and rival the country, they really want to be annoyed and copy it, that is, slaughter a fat sheep's ear. Shen Wansan during the Taizu period is the most famous example.
After a few people talked a few times, there was no sound, the city gate was still a noisy and panicked scene, but the center of the street not far away was silent, this situation was very weird, attracting more and more people, inevitably some people whispered to ask the reason, so there were more and more people watching the excitement.
Fortunately, this is Changping, the city is not big, just close to the Beijing Division, and it is the place where the Jiliao Governor is stationed, there are many civil officials and gentry, and there are many garrisons, so the business in the city is still much more developed than the ordinary city, even so, the number of commercial banks in the city and the Beijing Division can not be compared, if there is such a trouble in the Beijing Division, I am afraid that the east and west streets of Zhengyangmen will be blocked again, and even the soldiers and horses of the five cities or the imperial history of the city patrol will come to suppress.
"Okay." The semicolon shopkeeper did not agree immediately, but entered the store to discuss with his colleagues for a while, and then went out, looked at the nervous Shi Congbin, and said with a smile: "The master said that there is no class in teaching. We businessmen can't turn away our customers. Although the proprietor has had anything to do with us and Yusheng, but since we have believed in us today and are willing to be the first policyholder, there is no reason for the store not to accept it, so please ask the proprietor to come and write a letter of insurance, write clearly the goods and delivery location, whether we need to help transport, whether we need to send a dart master to protect...... I would like to state that if we don't want our car dealership, and we don't want our protection, then we will also ask the Sprop for the delivery route, if it does not meet our requirements, we can only refuse to insure, and even if we can, the premium is much higher than using our chariots and horses. β
"This is natural, there is nothing wrong with these regulations of your number, of course, I did not bring the team here this time, I have to hire your car to transport goods, and of course, you also need your dart company to protect." Shi Congbin seemed to be suddenly saved from drowning, and he felt that his breathing was much easier...... If this continues, his business must be yellow, even if it is not yellow, it will be reduced by seventy or eighty percent, although the Shi family is a big family of auspicious charms, and the poems and books in the family are heirlooms...... In fact, it means that the landlord, thousands of acres of land must have family property, food and clothing do not worry, but there is no business, it is much more difficult to move, and the land is limited in the end, if you want to live a more relaxed life, in the end you still have to do business. After the Ming Dynasty became a self-established society, the folk atmosphere changed from simple and concise to extravagant and wasteful, and the family of scholars looked at Zhong Mingding's majestic food, but in fact, the pressure was still very small.
"That's good." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The premium is three taels per 100 taels of value of goods, and the fare is calculated separately, so the dart master will not be charged." β
That is to say, the dart master who protects the convoy is free, the transportation cost of the convoy is calculated separately, and the premium is calculated by collecting three taels of one hundred taels, and the value of the goods is six thousand taels and one hundred and eighty taels.
This price is dozens of taels higher than the cost of buying and Yusheng flags to cross the border, and it is much more expensive than hiring bodyguards by yourself, but since He Yusheng promised to compensate according to the price if there is a loss, it is cost-effective.
Maybe 6,000 taels of goods will earn hundreds of taels when they arrive home, but this premium must be included in the cost, when the troubled times are coming, especially in the north, where the source of chaos is, many businessmen have felt that the road is difficult, and the possibility of going home safely along the way is getting lower and lower, no matter where you are, you may lose a lot of silver, in this case, it is better to spend money to buy a peace of mind.
"I wonder if I can set off with the convoy in the next place?" Shi Congbin looked at the city gate and asked with some anxiety.
"Of course." The shopkeeper smiled and said: "After receiving the insurance policy, not only the goods, but also the personal safety of the proprietors is also responsible for us and Yusheng. β
"But this soldier is in a panic." Shi Congbin was quite amused, and said loudly: "Could it be that the northern captives are in the realm, can you also keep us safe?" β
"Beiyu?" He Yusheng's shopkeeper showed a contemptuous smile on his face: "Our merchant group group training doesn't know how many years of fighting the Beijiao, to be honest, before Xia Zai came to Changping to take office, he was in Datong Tuanlian, and he also went north to attack and beat the Beijiao, and there are also a few Beiguo lives in his hands." Not to mention anything else, as long as you are insured with us and Yusheng, we will ensure safety...... According to our intelligence, the Beiyu is still dozens of miles outside Panjiakou, and there is no intention or power to break the mouth at all, to be honest, I don't even know what everyone at the city gate is panicking! β
"Didn't the Governor Yamen panic first?"
"But no, the officials and the soldiers are panicked, what are we?"
"In that case, I'm much more relieved!"
"Are you still leaving?"
"You can listen to the rumors again and see what the market says!"
"I have a batch of goods to send to Linqing!"
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Shi Congbin's goods were slowly gathered together and sent to Heyusheng's branch, not far from the side is the Hutchison car store, several four-wheeled cars were driven over, the Shi family's goods were checked first, and then carried on the car by the guys of the car dealership, and when the count was completed, it was really a cloth worth more than 6,000 taels at the current price.
The shopkeeper of the score number wrote a two-copy insurance policy on the spot, and Shi Congbin also handed over two silver ...... on the spot Because it is to buy insurance, of course the silver two have to pay in advance, the fare is to use eight cars, from Changping to Xiangfu nearly 1,500 miles, compared to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to go more troublesome, each car average per day to walk about 120 miles, this speed is really fast, after all, it is not a single mule and horse, but a very large vehicle, with the scarcity of the official roads in the north, that is, the big car of the Hutchison car dealership because of the well-made, sturdy and durable, even if the road is rugged and difficult to walk, as long as you can walk down, you can go all the way, And as long as there are branches between the two places there are maintenance supply points, you can repair the body frame wheels, generally speaking, walk on a very bad official road for a day, if you travel slowly, the speed of traveling hundreds of miles a day far exceeds those two-wheeled Chinese cars, those cars are too poor shock absorption, the process of body production is also poor, go fast halfway to fall apart, not to mention those wheelbarrows, people at that time were very able to endure hardships, and the body of doing farm work since childhood was also strong and powerful, However, if anyone can push a small cart for hundreds of pounds and travel hundreds of miles a day, it can only be a fool's dream.
Therefore, the Hutchison cart not only shipped more, but also extremely fast, even faster than the Cao Yun in the dry season, more than ten days from Beijing to Kaifeng, it is really quite a fast speed.
"I also have to buy insurance in the next, the goods are worth about 5,000 taels, but they are not cloth, they are all groceries."
"The value of the goods under is more than 2,000, from Changping to Ningyuan, the road is still safe, only some stragglers will extort, I don't know how to protect the capital, can it be prevented from being harassed by the rebels?"
The commercial route from Beijing to Shanhaiguan has also been very developed in recent years, the main reason is that the imperial court has to spend millions of silver on Liaodong every year, and the military salary in other places is delayed for a few months and a half, but the Liaodong salary is not much in arrears, and there is a great movement in Liaodong during the Chongzhen period, and then the troops in Liaozhen and Dongjiang towns have to be searched and reduced, because there are a large number of military salaries spent in Liaodong, and commerce has become more developed than ordinary places, otherwise there is no silver to buy things, and consumption will become abnormally high, not only in the people's livelihood unchanged, It is not a good thing for the garrison and the government, fortunately, the merchants seek profits, where there is more silver, there are a large number of merchants to go, but from Yongping to Shanhaiguan and then to Ningyuan and other places, the garrison is as many as 100,000 people, the number of Liao people is only 560,000, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers, it can be said that there are garrisons everywhere, the military discipline of the Ming army was originally very poor, and Liaozhen is the worst one in the military discipline of the nine sides, local merchants and merchants have the experience of being harassed and blackmailed by the soldiers, as long as these chaotic soldiers do not make trouble to kill people and cross goods, The military attachΓ©s of the town generals at all levels would not restrain their subordinates too much, which made the merchants miserable.
"It's easy." The semicolon shopkeeper smiled: "We still have some connections in Liaodong, and we have some business dealings with many generals, and our team and other idlers dare not move." As for the premium, because there will be no threat of being robbed and robbed, it is naturally slightly lower than elsewhere, but it is also limited, after all, we are using human favors to ensure the safety of your goods, and it also saves a lot of effort, but we are consuming human favors, which is also necessary to make it clear to you. β
