Chapter 970: Ninety-Eighty-Eight Uninvited Guest
An older boy next to him grinned: "Come on, Min Shao, don't complain, who has you!" Who doesn't know that this time Lord Wang asked you to come out, so that you can have a long experience, use this rock castle to practice your hands, and it will be smooth to do business in the future. At such a young age, Lord Wang let you come out and take charge of yourself and do such a big thing, which shows Lord Wang's love for you. We can't envy it! You, don't get cheap and sell well. ”
His voice fell, and everyone else echoed him.
The brocade-clothed young man who was called Min Shao, who complained at the beginning, was obviously a very high-ranking one in this group, and everyone held him and praised him. Being flattered by everyone, this Min Shao quickly showed a smile on his face, but he seemed to think of something, and suddenly his face turned cold: "What's the use of the old man loving me no matter how much he loves me?" I'm just a concubine, and I won't be able to attack the official position of my family in the future, and I won't be able to be a big official! That cheap, wasn't it all taken advantage of by him? ”
As soon as he said this, everyone who was talking lively just now suddenly fell silent, their expressions froze on their faces, and they showed embarrassed looks in their eyes, not daring to answer his words.
These words can't be taken casually, a bad one can reach the ears of the old man and that 'him' in Min Shao's mouth, but it will bring great disasters to himself and his family.
Next to Min Shao, a man in his fifties who looked like an old servant couldn't help but change color when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Little master, be careful!" ”
Min Shao also knew that what he said just now was a bit reckless, so he snorted, turned his head, and stopped talking.
Zhao Tiequan and the guards all turned their heads to the side, not daring to look at him, as if they would be implicated if they knew about this matter.
This brocade boy known as Min Shao, named Wang Zhongmin, the old man in his mouth is a well-known power figure in the entire Datong Town, and even the entire three towns in Shanxi: Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong.
Wang Pu is from a family of eunuchs, his father Wang Weiguan to the left governor, and Wang Pu two years ago, that is, when Chongzhen was six years old, he was already the governor of the right capital, and after guarding Datong last year, he was promoted to the governor of the left capital.
Wang Zhongmin is his youngest grandson.
Wang Zhongmin is a concubine, Wang Pu's eldest son had a relationship with a maid in the house after a drunken time, and then there was Wang Zhongmin. Wang Pu's eldest son's wife is jealous, and Wang Pu's eldest son doesn't love this son and his maid-in-waiting mother very much, and it is even more unscrupulous to bully their mother and son with the main family. Wang Zhongmin was not yet a month old, and his mother was humiliated by the head of the main room, and the more his mother returned to the room, the more angry she became, and she couldn't think of finding a short sight for a while.
's father doesn't love him either, and his mother is gone again, so it stands to reason that Wang Zhongmin's life should be very miserable. But it is also fate, Wang Pu likes this grandson very much, and when he first saw Wang Zhongmin, who was still in infancy, he liked it very much. After Wang Zhongmin's mother died, Wang Pu reprimanded the eldest daughter-in-law fiercely, and then took Wang Zhongmin with him to raise him personally.
Although he is a concubine, but because of Wang Pu's love, Wang Zhongmin can be said to be rampant and domineering in the house, no one dares to provoke, sometimes his father has to speak politely when he sees him, and he doesn't dare to provoke.
It's a pity that love is love, Wang Pu, as a military general, can't pass on the official position that can be passed on to his children and grandchildren on Wang Zhongmin.
It will only fall on Wang Zhongmin's half-brother, that is, the son of the main room who forced his mother to death.
In this regard, Wang Zhongmin was extremely angry and unfair. Perhaps in order to compensate him, or because he was afraid that his precious grandson would not have the ability to gain a foothold after his death, Wang Pu let him get in touch with the family business when he was young. Don't look at Wang Zhongmin's age, but after a few years of experience, he is actually very experienced in business. And he also showed his talent in this area early, and he did a very good job, which made Wang Pu happy.
This time, Wang Pu decided to let him come out and take charge of himself and do a big thing.
This is the big thing: harvest the grain!
Wang Pu is the general soldier of Datong, and at the same time, the Wang family is also a famous businessman in Datong Town and even the entire three towns of Shanxi. Wang Pu's family has a lot of business, but it is mainly focused on relatively large commodities, such as rice, flour, grain and oil, cloth and silk, pig iron, refined copper and so on. Especially in the grain store, the business is even more prosperous, and more than one-third of the grain stores in Datong Town are owned by the Wang family.
The business is so big that the grain sold by these grain stores under the name of the Wang family is calculated in thousands of stones every day.
With such a large business and such a large sales volume, it is natural that there is a need for an adequate supply of goods. Wang Pu actually has a natural advantage in this business, because when the grain store does not have enough food, he can embezzle military rations. As for not making up for it afterwards, it depends on the specific situation.
However, in the past two years, the harvest in the northwest of Shanxi has generally failed, and the grain supply has been somewhat tight. At the time of this year's autumn harvest, there was generally no harvest in various places, and the demand of the Wang family was huge, so there was a problem. Wang Pu had almost embezzled all the military rations that could be embezzled, and he couldn't fill them at a glance.
And it is a coincidence, in the past few days, suddenly a news spread in Datong City, saying that there is a boundary called Panshi Fort under Hebei North Road in Datong Town, and the boundary is also strange, and the grain harvest in other places is not good, and there is a bumper harvest of grain.
The news was very abrupt, and I don't know if it's true or not, and many people regarded it as a rumor and scoffed at it. But after Wang Pu learned about it, he paid attention and used his own strength to investigate, but he was surprised to find that this rumor turned out to be true, and the left side of the rock fort actually had a bumper harvest.
So he asked Wang Zhongmin to come to do this errand, in his opinion, this errand is very easy, very easy, come, just collect the grain. With your own big signboard, what can't you do?
This can be regarded as a good errand for his most beloved grandson, in order for him to easily get this credit, and then promise him any benefits, and others will not be able to talk about it.
But Wang Zhongmin was reluctant to come alone, but brought a group of fox friends and dog friends who had a good relationship with him in Su Rili to come together.
The atmosphere was embarrassing for a while, but the person who answered Min Shao's words at the beginning was clever enough, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Min Shao, so he laughed and said: "Min Shao, let's talk about it, you have fallen so much this time, you have to invite us to the best Qinglou in Datong Town to play a trick." I heard that in the past few days, the Qinglou is going to bid on the spot, and the one with the highest price can give those chicks ****. ”
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, I please, I please."
Wang Zhongmin waved his hand and said, "As for those chicks, hey, doesn't the Qinglou take out a few chicks every few months to bid in public?" Lao Tzu has seen a lot of this trick. ”
"Hey, this time is different." The brocade-clothed young man smiled, foaming at the mouth, and said excitedly: "I heard that this time, it is the family members of several criminal officials who are going to be sold, hey, then the identity is different." ”
"Oh? Is this true? When Wang Zhongmin heard this, he was also interested.
"Is that fake?" The young man in brocade patted his chest and said, "I will be informed about the news of this piece quickly." ”
Wang Zhongmin laughed and said, "Then I have to go and see when I go back." ”
The atmosphere became active again, and the group talked while walking, and after walking for a while, a person suddenly asked: "Min Shao, I heard that the Rock Fort is guarded, and it is quite famous, and it is said that the war is very powerful." ”
Wang Zhongmin said disappreciatively: "No matter how powerful it is, it's not under the old man?" I can't be respectful when I see me? ”
"That's right." The man laughed and asked, "What price do you plan to give this time when you go over there to collect grain?" ”
This person is not without a purpose, his family is also engaged in grain trading, along the way I heard Wang Zhongmin say the purpose of going to Panshi Fort, he also moved his mind, thinking that after Wang Zhongmin returned to Datong Town this time, he immediately asked his family to come here to collect grain. Naturally, he didn't dare to compete with Wang Zhongmin, but it was impossible for Wang Zhongmin to collect all the grain in Rock Castle, right? There is a little bit left, Wang Zhongmin eats meat, and he plans to get some soup to drink.
"Lao Tzu can go to him to collect grain, that's to give him face! Two or three pieces of silver per stone is considered good! Damn, he still dares to break his fart? ”
Wang Zhongmin burst into an arrogant laugh.
The crowd laughed.
