The second greeting person was the patrol Dingbei guerrilla Sun Shoulian, Gui Li turned around, and the scarf Sun Shoulian stood by the river, smiling and greeting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sun Shoulian was still wearing the clothes and armor of a military general last time, but this time he came to look like a rich businessman, with a money-patterned coat, a bright body, but he still had the appearance of a martial artist with his hands and feet.

Sun Shoulian walked over with a smile on his face and said:

"Last year, we said goodbye to the moon, and Sun only came today, I don't know if Lord Wang is anxious to wait?"

"There, there, if it weren't for Lord Sun's post inviting Wang to come, Wang would have almost forgotten about the things outside the gate."

The two sides teased, laughed, and walked to the river together, where the porters by the sea and river had arrived and began to unload the goods from the boat.

Wang Tong and Sun Shoulian stood aside. Sun Shoulian sighed and said:

"Today, the boat entered the Haihe River, looking at the prosperity on this bank, Sun thought that he had come to the wrong place. Last year, it was still desolate in Layue, and now it has become a bustling market for less than a year, if Sun didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it anyway. ”

The market of goods outside the customs in the customs area. Wang Tong once sent people to investigate all over the capital, and there was not too much profiteering, but it would be very profitable to traffic from inside the customs to outside the customs, but if he did this. It is more convenient and more profitable to make profits in Tianjin.

"There are several major items in Liaozhen. It's all in the hands of Dashuai's family, and Sun can't get involved, so come this time. I brought some deer skins and other kinds of fur, as well as tiger bones, ginseng, deer and other medicinal herbs and mountain delicacies. ”

Hearing Sun Shoulian's words, Wang Tong couldn't help but smile and said:

"Master Sun knows what to sell!"

Deerskins and furs are indeed bulk goods in Tianjinwei, but Tianjinwei is just a place for transshipment. The furs are sold abroad for a profit. The tax on going abroad is high, the price is expensive, and the profit is of course high, as for the tiger bones, ginseng, deer and other kinds of mountain treasures, there are always rich and noble people in the north and south. What needs from the medicine store and the pharmacy, what Sun Shoulian brought it, even after being deducted from taxes. It's still going to make a lot of money.

Sun Shoulian smiled proudly and said:

"Lord Wang, although Sun has only come now, he opened a shop in Tianjin Wei in April, and the news on the market is very clear, and he still knows what to make money!"

This was also expected by Wang Tong, and Sun Shoulian continued:

"Lord Wang, Sun wants to ask you for a favor here, the price of this deerskin is expensive, but the tax is too high, can you reduce it by one or two, and the silver will go to your lord, isn't it convenient for you and me."

Xitong shook his head with a smile and said:

"This official's silver is collected from the palace, and a few days ago, the new admiral eunuch refused to pay taxes. The official sank his ship with a cannon, which was really incommensurate.

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Sun Shoulian was stunned, stared at Wang Tong for a while, and looked at Wang Tong's understatement, but it didn't seem to be a mouthful, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, Sun Shoulian hugged his fists and said with a wry smile:

"Lord Wang is really a maverick, Sun admires it." The sea ship is not too big, the furs and medicinal materials on the ship are quickly loaded and unloaded, Wang Tong is now very familiar with this set, for this kind of goods, Sun Shoulian, as the general of Liaozhen, there is really no need to come alone.

Liao Town is different from the rest of the border towns, Liao Town is the same size as several inland provinces, and it has always been a military town without civil affairs officials, and the Liao Town Army will each guard one side, leading troops and taking charge of local civil affairs. In fact, it is equivalent to all the power in the hands of one person, the field endowment, cattle and horse trade, salt tax, tea tax, and commercial tax are all divided among the military generals who are guarding at all levels, and these wealth are extremely amazing.

Wang Tongzheng was puzzled, but Sun Shoulian showed a smug look on his face, and said with a smile:

"Lord Wang, I don't know how the market of Tianjin Weimu is!?"

The topic suddenly turned to this" Wang Tong was stunned, he didn't know what it meant, but the soldiers around him woke up, and hurriedly went to the nearest warehouse and called a shopkeeper over.

I heard that Wang Tong was summoned for something, and the shopkeeper who was called over was sincerely afraid, and only relaxed a lot when he saw Wang Tong and Yan Yuese, and when he heard Wang Tong's inquiry, the shopkeeper immediately replied:

"Sir, today's Tianjin Wei wood is a first-class good goods."

"Oh?"

Wood is available everywhere, how can it be a good thing, Wang Tong was a little surprised, Sun Shoulian on the side was even heavier, and the shopkeeper hurriedly explained:

"Entrusted to the big lord's Hongfu, everyone's business is easy to do, everyone wants to open a store and open a store to do business, and the big lord is repairing inside and outside the city. The people of Tianjin Wei are also constantly building new houses inside and outside the city, renovating old houses, building houses, not using wood, as well as the boats on the canals on the Haihe River, building and repairing, but also wood, the fire organ workshop outside the city, with the same wood is more, here and outside the "has to use how much to talk about safety, but our North Zhili has always been short of wood, renewed place."

Hearing this, Wang Tong understood. The shopkeeper continued:

"Use more, more, the price is jumping upward, everyone is making money, there is silver to buy, this is going up is non-stop, now, the Beijing Division, Baoding Mansion, and Shandong several provinces of the big wood merchants are in our Tianjin Wei opened a wood yard, the daily price of the general flow of water in and out, this is not enough to use that, not afraid of the big man, you jokes, the day before yesterday a small shop in a window panel broken, to buy outside, actually did not buy, and finally found a few wooden strips nailed indiscriminately. Alas, don't say that this wood, even carpenters are very short, and now that the wages have tripled, they may not be able to find people, and even those who have carpenter skills in Hejian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion have come to Tianjin Wei."

The chatter kept talking, but Wang Tong had already learned enough things, and smiled and ordered his soldiers to give the shopkeeper five taels of silver. Seeing that the palm was gone, Wang Tong turned his head and said to Sun Shoulian:

"Brother Sun, don't sell Guanzi, do you have any way to deal with this shortage of timber?"

The shortage of timber has restricted the construction of Tianjin Wei and increased the construction cost of Tianjin Wei.

"Lord Wang, there is nothing else outside the gate. There is no shortage of this big tree, and I don't know how many there are in the deep mountains and old forests. We have it outside the border, but we lack it here, isn't it complementary? ”

Hearing what Sun Shoulian said, Wang Tong also laughed here, and Sun Shoulian struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Lord Wang, now that there is such a shortage of wood, Sun Mou asked people to send it from outside the customs with great difficulty, if it is not convenient, this business is really not interesting!"

If there is something missing, they should be attracted with preferential conditions, which is also the theory that Wang Tong once learned, Wang Tong said after a little hesitation:

"Timber trading, entering Tianjin Wei can be tax-free, timber yards and mad stores, you don't have to hang a safety sign, and there are also discussions on loading and unloading costs."

This condition is very generous, in the current situation of Tianjin Wei, it is equivalent to making a lot of money by transporting timber, of course, Tianjin Wei itself has also been benefited.

However, the real reason for Wang Tong's decision was the shopkeeper's sentence "Ships on the canal on the Haihe River" In this era, if you want to build ships, you must have high-quality big wood, so far. It was only possible to supply it from the outside.

Hearing Wang Tong say such a promise, Sun Shoulian nodded with a smile and said:

"With Lord Wang's words, the brother's side will be relieved, and the brother's side is not a person who doesn't know how to do things, in the future, all the business related to the brother's side, not to mention the loss, as long as the income will definitely have Lord Wang's 20% of the profit

Wang Tong nodded and thanked him, the official exchanges, the other party gave benefits, if his own family refused, it would arouse the other party's suspicion and dissatisfaction.

Speaking of this, Wang Tong opened his mouth to ask:

"Brother Sun, when will the timber from your side arrive, Tianjin Wei and Liao Town are not close, it's August now, I'm afraid the sea will be sealed when you go back, how can it be too late?"

Hearing Wang Tong's inquiry, Sun Shoulian laughed, the two sides had only been talking for a long time and had become familiar with each other, Sun Shoulian reached out and patted Wang Tong's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Lord Wang, it's dark under the lamp." It's dark under the lights! ”。

It is said so. Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, and reacted after being a little stunned, and couldn't help laughing. Sun Shoulian did bring a big wood with him this time, and there was a big wood Jiang hanging behind every sea ship, and the logs that bound the raft were not wood.

With such an adjustment, the relationship between the two sides became closer again, and Sun Shoulian said:

"Take Shanhaiguan into Yongping Mansion, go to Jingshi by land, say far and not far and say that it is not close, and the special products of fur medicinal materials will not make much money by sea, but this big wood can be transported so easily without water, and wood is a good commodity in your Tianjin Wei. But such huge logs, in Beizhili, and even in the surrounding provinces, are all valuable things

Wang Tong nodded, there were fires in several palaces in the Jingshi and the world, and big trees were needed to make the beams and pillars of the house, but in recent years, such big trees in the northern and southern provinces have been cut down, Yungui has them, but they can't be transported at all, and in the end they can only be spliced with wood.

"Brother Sun, since the transportation is difficult, how can such a big tree go to the sea?"

Wang Tong suddenly thought of this and asked out loud, Sun Shoulian showed a sly look on his face, and said with a smile:

"I cut down trees on the side of Kuandianbao, pushed them down the hillside into the river, tied them into rafts in the river, and drifted to the sea to hang up the sea boats, which is very convenient
