Chapter 20 Yun Zhao’s Business Experience
The drinking lasted until dawn.
Whether it is Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng, both of them have good literary talents. Yun Zhao discussed with them carefully the person Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng, the author of "Jin Ping Mei".
Hong Chengchou believed that the person who could write such a masterpiece must be from Jinling and have a family with many wives and concubines.
Lu Xiangsheng believed that such a good book should be read away from wives and concubines, hiding on a cave in the snowy night and reading it at night by candlelight.
Yun Zhao believed that this book was obscene and young people should not read it in full, otherwise it would be a bad habit and should be banned.
Hong Chengchou thought that Yun Zhao himself was as dark as ink, and if he read "Jin Ping Mei" again, he might be able to read a little bit about the various human conditions and worldly sentiments, which could be more humane and less wild boar. He also concluded that this book must have been written by Wang Shizhen, a prostitute from Jinling. As far as he knew, Wang Shizhen was a drinker, a womanizer, and a talented person. No one else except him had this ability.
Lu Xiangsheng believes that Yun Zhao cannot read this book at his age, otherwise it will be too harmful to the body. After he has a group of wives and concubines, reading this book will definitely add some fun to the boudoir, which is wonderful.
However, he thought that this book was not written by Wang Shizhen, who was drunk all day long. It must be wild and uninhibited, and he liked to break his face with an ax, hit his head with an iron nail, and stab himself in the kidney with a long awl. It was made by Xu Wei, a madman who took the bag and killed his wife Zhang.
Only someone like him who doesn’t care about etiquette can write such a wild and uninhibited masterpiece.
At dawn, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng said goodbye and left.
In the cold wind, Hong Chengchou laughed and said: "When someone has free time, he will definitely be able to write a masterpiece comparable to "The Plum in the Golden Ping"."
Lu Xiangsheng was also writing Laughing, he was riding a horse, and his entourage was driving five carts filled with grenades. After carefully examining them, he happened to hear Hong Chengchou's heroic words, so he laughed and told Hong Chengchou that the manuscript must be given to him first. A sneak peek.
Watching the two people leave, Yun Zhao sat alone at the edge of the half-eaten banquet, pouring and drinking until noon.
This is a very interesting party...
Yun Zhao looks very happy, but there seems to be a fire burning in his heart.
So, that night, the granary of Fan Yongdou's family caught fire. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. In an instant, eighteen thousand loads of grain were turned into ashes.
Shocked to hear that the granary in Fan Yongdou’s home was on fire, shopkeeper Yun immediately visited Fan’s family in Zhangjiakou, expressed condolences to Fan Yongdou, whose hair was burnt, and promised that Yun’s family would have plenty of food this year and could continue as usual. Use salt in exchange for food.
When shopkeeper Yun came back, Yun Zhao was having dinner with Yun Yang and Yun Juan. When he saw him coming back, he snorted with a cold expression.
Shopkeeper Yun quickly said: "Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng worked together to do it!"
Yun Zhao was stunned and said: "How did you get this result?"
"The day before yesterday, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Zhangjiakou overnight. They didn't know what confidential matter they were talking about. They talked all night and quietly left Zhangjiakou at dawn.
Fan Yongdou thought that Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were both in the past. They had asked him for food before, but he had always refused. This time, the two thieves must have set fire to him when they saw that they could not get the food.
Fan Yongdou had already Xiang Gaoqi. I filed a complaint, hoping to get justice."
"No one doubts us?"
"No, Fan Yongdou didn't think it was us at all. After all, we will still be there tomorrow. We have business to discuss with Fan Yongdou."
"What business can we discuss with Fan Yongdou?"
"Young master, you have forgotten, the main business is ginseng, our family's pharmaceutical factory. Preparing medicine requires a large amount of ginseng. The reason why Lao Nu came to Zhangjiakou this time is for the purpose of trading ginseng. Only Zhangjiakou has a large amount of ginseng, and we can't enter other places."
Yun Zhao was indifferent. He nodded and said: "Then keep your tail and don't let others get through."
Shopkeeper Yun quickly said: "Liang San and the others did it very covertly, using small cannons to hit the granary that was burned by incendiary bombs." , did not meet Fan's guard, and went back to the car shop after the fire. Fan was shocked and came to the car shop to check, and everyone in our family was sleeping.
Fan's family. Almost everyone in Zhangjiakou was called to investigate the matter, and through this investigation, it was discovered that Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou stayed at the Fumanyuan Inn for the night."
"It was not you who instigated the Fumanyuan shopkeeper to tell them. "
When Shopkeeper Yun heard this, he knelt on the ground and said, "Master, I don't dare."
Yun Zhao sighed and said, "It seems that Fuman is here. Not everyone in the garden can be trusted."
Shopkeeper Yun took two steps closer to Yun Zhao and said, "It wasn't the people from Fumanyuan who reported it, it was the servants of the two governors Hong and Lu who were careless. The news was leaked."
"Have you told the two governors Hong Lu?"
"The old servant of the Hong family has already told Fan Yongdou. , There is no food this year. If you want food, we can wait until next year."
"Young master, you are not making money anymore?"
Yun Zhao looked at the old shopkeeper, shook his head and said, "This year. If you want grain, you can wait until next year. In addition, you must immediately buy back the grain that Fan Yongdou can buy, and then sell it to Fan Yongdou in the spring of next year. If you want to buy grain in winter, that won't work." /p>
Shopkeeper Yun left the room in confusion. Yun Yang, who was sitting opposite Yun Zhao, said: "Is this batch of food for slaves outside the mouth?"
Yun Zhao nodded. Said: "To be precise, it is for people like Bao Chengxian. Fan Yongdou will transport the grain along Zhangjiakou to Kaipingwei, and he will be robbed by Bao Chengxian on the way. In this case, it is better to burn it cleanly."
Yun Yang sighed and said: "Eighteen thousand dans of grain, this is Kaipingwei's ration for one and a half years."
Yun Zhaodao: "If you can't get it, it's better not to have it."
"Bao Chengxian and his group will go crazy if they don't have food."
Yun Zhaoqing He laughed and said: "The more crazily the slaves are exploited in Mongolia, the better it will be for us. Don't talk about humanity at this time."
"I'm just worried about whether Shao Shao can resist. ."
"Don't worry, Shao Shao has already prepared a way to escape. I just don't understand how he can control Suritai and let this person accept any order he gives."
Yun Yang looked at Yun Zhao strangely and said, "You don't know?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I have never asked."
"Young Master Qian He has been raising Su Litai for more than two years. It is said that he used the head of Mingyue Lou's bustard to raise a brothel girl.
I don't know the method. I only know that as long as he is willing, Su Li will be raised. There is no problem even if he commits suicide."
Yun Zhao frowned and said with suppressed anger: "Why does he still have this hobby?"
Yun Yang said with a smile: "Since you. Deciding to go for a walk on the grassland, Shao Shao started to prepare. This Suritai was originally a bandit on the grassland, but he was accidentally captured alive by the caravan guard.
It was he who spent a lot of money to escape. I bought it from a caravan outside the mouth.
I heard that when I first bought it, Suritai was still a great young man. More than two years later, Suritai has become more than half-year-old now. "You haven't tried to dissuade him?"
"What are you trying to dissuade him from? God knows how many lives he has on hand for robbing small caravans." , it’s bad luck for him to meet Shao Shao.”
When Yun Zhao heard what Yun Yang said, he didn’t say a word and just immersed himself in eating.
As far as the current world is concerned, God is not good, and people’s output is very little. In order to have food and live a better life than others, people are competing against each other and exploiting each other. Fighting each other...
In an era where the winner takes all, people are the least valuable commodity.
After staying in Zhangjiakou for two days, Yun's caravan left Zhangjiakou, preparing to follow the inner line of the Great Wall, pass through Datong Prefecture, go to Yan'an Prefecture, and finally return to Xi'an from Qingyang Prefecture.
The land of Nine Borders is uninhabited for thousands of miles, but there are bones everywhere, turning this land into a hell on earth.
After the vast and desolate Yan'an Prefecture was robbed several times by bandits, there was no cockcrow for thousands of miles. The dilapidated watchtowers stood alone on the loess. When they saw Yunzhao's caravan coming, they actually robbed them. I didn't have the courage at all, I just stood on the watchtower and waited.
Yun Zhao really hoped that they could come out to rob, so that they could at least prove that they still had fighting ability. Unfortunately, there was not a single soldier who was willing to come out to rob.
Seeing that Yun Zhao and his group had no intention of invading the watchtower, they sent out two tax collectors who were as thin as skeletons, tremblingly hoping that the caravan would reward them with some grain as tax.
Yun Zhao paid the tax on a bag of grain...
Then these people actually used beacon fire to inform the next watchtower that someone was willing to pay taxes according to regulations!
Then, Yunzhao’s caravan paid the taxes along the way along the watchtowers. Worried that some watchtowers were too far away to collect the taxes, Yunzhao’s caravan deliberately turned around and gave the taxes to them. .
Seeing this scene, Yun Zhao's anger continued to burn. He would rather be robbed by these people, would rather be beaten up by these officers and soldiers and run away in embarrassment, would rather go home naked. In this way, he could tell Others, the Ming Dynasty's frontier soldiers are powerful in combat!
When they were halfway there, news finally came from Fan Yongdou that they were willing to continue negotiating grain sales with the Yun family. This finally gave Yun Zhaokong some relief.
He has never thought about cutting off contacts with Zhangjiakou businessmen, and is even actively promoting relationships with Zhangjiakou businessmen.
Although everyone is talking about business most of the time, when it comes to relationships, it is actually pretty good.
Only the merchants in Zhangjiakou can withstand Yun Zhao's way of doing business. If they had any other business name, they would have been crushed by him into withered bones on the ground.
So, only by doing business with powerful merchants can you make money in the long run.
