Chapter 502 Receiving the plate for the country The first is to ask for a monthly ticket
"Fry it and leave?" Pu Shousheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" Is it back to the Mongols? β
"Of course not!" Pu Shougeng snorted coldly, "The Mongolians are mud bodhisattvas, and they can't protect themselves, isn't it looking for death to go to them?" β
"That's right!"
Pu Shousheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most worried about was that the Pu family was too deep in the Mongols. Now the Han people in Dayuan and the Central Plains can knock on the bones and suck the marrow, and the Semu people can also follow the fat. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was only a matter of time before the Mongols were driven out of the Central Plains. At that time, the anointing blood of the Han people in the Central Plains will not be able to eat, and it will be time to take the Semu people under the knife!
The oil and water scraped by the people of Semu in the Central Plains will definitely be spit out in the future!
Pu Shougeng said with a smile: "This little brother still has this little bit of proportion, and now the little brother wants to fry the rice grain of the Southern Dynasty, in order to be able to make a big vote, and then get hundreds of thousands of catties of good steel, and fly away to the west to make a fortune." β
"Hundreds of thousands of pounds of steel!?" Pu Shousheng was stunned and stunned, "Uzi steel? Tens of thousands of catties? β
"It's not Uzi Steel, it's Nanfen Steel...... Good steel from Liaodong. As he spoke, Pu Shougeng got up and took a large horizontal knife from the wall, pulled the knife out of its scabbard and handed it to Pu Shousheng.
"It is this kind of steel, which is Nanfen steel produced in Liaodong, with hard texture, not bad toughness, not easy to break, and the output is very large, and the price is also cheap. When it first came out, it was three taels of steel and one tael of silver, but now it has fallen to five taels of steel and one tael of silver. If we can get hundreds of thousands of catties to take to the west, as long as we find a suitable next home, our Pu family will not have to worry for a few lifetimes. β
"Nanfen Steel ......" Pu Shousheng lightly tapped the blade with his fingers. I didn't hear the sound of "Zheng Zheng", as if it was not made of a hundred refinements.
He frowned. He suddenly swung his big knife and slashed at the Junyao teapot on the desk. With a soft bang, the teapot was split in half! Then he withdrew the big knife and carefully observed the edge, nodded and felt out the end of the big horizontal knife wrapped in a handkerchief, and then held the handle in one hand, and the blade wrapped in a handkerchief in the other, and folded it with all his strength. The blade bent slightly, but quickly returned to its original shape.
"The ...... keeps breaking," Pu Shougeng said with a smile, "This knife is hot-forged from two pieces of Nanfen steel sandwiched with a piece of wrought iron, and it is also quenched." How is it possible to break it by hand? β
Pu Shousheng nodded, "It's good steel!" If we can take 200,000 catties to the west, the Sultan of Delhi and the Mamluks in Cairo will give us privileges and shelter. But can you buy Beiming's steel? Will they sell to us? β
Of course, Nanfen Steel is sold to the outside world, but the plate that comes out is not big, and of course it is easy to get a few hundred catties or thousands of catties. This amount is used to create a dozen to a hundred pairs of plate armor, and it is impossible to arm an army. But 200,000 catties, that's the Nanfen steel needed to build 7,000 pairs of plate armor!
How could Chen Dexing put so many plates out at once? And even if you have to put it on the plate. It is impossible to put it on the Pu family! Not to mention the door, not even the window!
Pu Shougeng smiled: "How not to sell?" It's a big deal, I exchanged 1.5 million stone rice grain for 200,000 catties of steel. β
Now the market price of Nanfen Steel is one tael of silver and five taels of steel, which is five taels of sixteen taels, that is, 0.3125 catties. A pound of steel is three taels of silver. It is equivalent to about four copper coins and about six hundred yuan. 100,000 catties of steel is worth 460,000 yuan. Even if the price of steel does not soar because of a large number of rises, 200,000 catties of Nanfen steel are worth 920,000 copper coins. And now the value of 1.5 million stone rice is 1.5 million copper coins, which means that Pu Shougeng's exchange did not make money on the surface, but lost money.
But once the 200,000 catties of Nanfen steel he exchanged for were shipped to India or Egypt. It can definitely change the situation in this whole region! The benefits behind this are no longer measurable in terms of money.
Pu Shousheng shook his head again and again: "Haiyun, how can Chen Dexing be willing to do such a deal?" β
Pu Shougeng laughed. Said: "One million stone meters in Yanyun, Hebei right now, but it's a matter of life!" If he refuses to trade it for Nanfen steel. He's going to have to come up with a few million pounds of copper...... Chen Dexing's hands are not as rich as that, right? β
"Millions!? How much is a stone of rice to fry? β
Pu Shougeng stretched out a slap and said, "Five thousand Wen!" β
Pu Shousheng was startled, shook his head and said, "How is it possible!" It's only 800 now! β
Pu Shougeng sneered, "With the help of the wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, the five thousand wen is less!" β
"Let the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan fry together?"
"That's right, let them take over!" Pu Shougeng said with a smile, "The little brother has calculated, Chen Dexing will be able to pass the test with 2 million stone rice." If the rice of the Southern Dynasty was too expensive, he could also buy it from Goryeo and Japan. There is no problem for those two small countries to provide 500,000 stone rice, which means that he can buy 1.5 million stone rice from Jiangnan at most. And the plate that the younger brother wants to fry is at least twenty or thirty million stones. You can't rely on Chen Dexing! Therefore, I can only rely on the Gaomen clan in Jiangnan to pick it up! β
"How could they?" Pu Shousheng's face was incredible.
"How not?" Pu Shougeng sneered, "Speculating on high grain prices is to replace soldiers with grain, in order to deal with the scourge of Chen Dexing!" They are all good ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course they have to take over for the country. β
"Haiyun, aren't you crazy?" Pu Shousheng's head shook like a wave.
Pu Shougeng smiled, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to his brother Pu Shousheng, "Big brother, what do you think this is?" β
Pu Shousheng took the piece of paper and glanced at it, and said: "This is a 'late appointment', it is the appointment of Feng Lexing, the grain store of the Lincao Sun family in Lin'an, right?" That's a big grain merchant, and it seems that there is a dark stock of His Royal Highness King Rong. Hey, how is this Zhang Baishi's appointment? β
"It's 100 stones, with this late contract and another 100 copper coins, after September 15, you can extract 100 stones of brown rice from the warehouse of the Zhenjiang branch of Fengle Xing."
"A hundred stones? What kind of business is this? Pu Shousheng was even more puzzled. The Pu family is a wealthy businessman for generations, and they are all big dealers with more than 10,000 yuan...... 100 stone meters, is this a stall?
"Of course it's big business!" Pu Shougeng smiled and pointed to the paper in Pu Shousheng's hand, "There are 10,000 such papers!" β
"A million stones!? Always a stone for money? β
"It's 880 Wen one stone," Pu Shou Geng said, "One hundred stones is 110 guan, give 10 guan deposit first, and then give ...... for the rest of the pick-up."
"It's a loss!" Pu Shousheng said, "Now there is a stone of brown rice on the market in Zhenjiang with the same sky-high value, and after the autumn harvest, 750 wen is considered to be too much." How can you come out with 880 essays? β
Pu Shougeng smiled and said, "Because someone will give 3,000 to 5,000 Wen to take over!" He took the late contract from Pu Shousheng's hand and waved it gently, "Big brother, what my brother wants to fry is this late contract...... On September 15, exchange 100 pieces for 100 stone meters! Now this late contract is worthless in the market, but it won't be long before this late appointment will be worth 500, 1000, 2000, or even 4000! β
β¦β¦
Lin'an, Jijia Lane, Qifu Inn.
It's a very unorthodox inn, yes, it's not serious! Not only because this inn has a proprietress Mo widow from Lin'an Wazi Lane, but also because this inn is on the edge of Lin'an Wazi Lane, and it can even be regarded as a part of Wazi Lane. In and out of the inn every day, it is natural that there are all kinds of young ladies and well-dressed men - after all, not all customers are willing to do things in the brothel, including Qu Huajie, the big shopkeeper of Tiandaozhuang.
He arrived in Lin'an in disguise two days ago, and as soon as he entered Lin'an City, he went straight to the Qifu Inn and stayed in the most luxurious and private room. But it's not for Miss Hui, but to see a man, a beautiful young man with beautiful eyebrows, named Bai Zhanji.
"Mr. Shuijing, this is this kind of late appointment, with the agreement that you can exchange 100 yuan for 100 stone meters from Zhenjiang on September 15......"
Bai Zhanji is also on the grade now, no longer running the hall, but a disciple of Deng Qiuzhong, a famous scholar in Lin'an.
"Is this a late appointment for Jingu Xing?" Qu Fatzi glanced at the late appointment handed over by Bai Zhanji, frowned and asked, "How is it a 100-stone contract?" β
"This is to facilitate the transfer, and it was Pu Shougeng who said it to Mr. Deng personally." Bai Zhanji Road.
According to later generations, this contract is the target of investment. In order to facilitate trading, of course, the target should not be too large. If it's a late appointment of one million stones, then no one can take it. Therefore, Pu Shougeng asked the party who entered into the late contract to set the mark value at 100 stone brown rice. Moreover, it does not have the name of the buyer and can be transferred at will.
"Feel free to ...... Transfer? Qu Huajie took the late appointment and looked at it again, the late appointment was very beautifully printed, it should be the handwriting of the Lin'an bookseller, and each appointment had the seal of Jinguxing and the private seal of Deng Qiuzhong, the owner of Jinguxing.
"How much will Jin Gu Xing let out?" Qu Huajie asked thoughtfully.
"500 sheets." Bai Zhanji Road.
"It's 50,000 stone brown rice...... Qu Huajie frowned deeply, "Jingu Xing wants to pay for it!" β
"Compensation? How can it be? "Bai Zhanji followed Deng Qiuzhong and was no stranger to the grain business." Now the price of grain on the market is consistent, and the autumn grain in the countryside of Huaidong is only 500 Wen, and this one is about 880 Wen. There is a profit of 380 wen per stone of rice. β
"Lose! Definitely going to pay! Qu Huajie handed over the late appointment to Bai Zhanji, "You go and tell Mr. Deng to let him go to another big grain store to collect such a late contract, how much you want, and I will pay for it." β
"Yes...... How many to how much? Bai Zhanji was stunned for a moment and reminded, "This is a loss-making business!" Mr. Deng estimates that the maximum value of autumn grain in Zhenjiang Rice Market this year is 750 Wen. β
"How can you lose?" Qu Huajie glanced at Bai Zhanji, "One Pu Shougeng, one Jia Yidao...... Will the two of them do a loss-making business together? Do you still want to buy rice for 500 Wen? Dream on! Sue sΓΉ Deng Qiuzhong, hurry up and buy it, it's too late! (To be continued......)
