Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 40



Once the third contract was released, all the merchants were on the sidelines. The grocery store was the first to be affected. Shopkeeper Wu took a letter from Xiangcheng and was going to talk to Wang Xiujin about this matter. This matter should be placed in a bigger place. , it's not difficult at all, but if it's done in Wu County, shopkeeper Wu finds it difficult.Stepping into the shop next door, Wu Juye stepped forward, "The shopkeeper Wu is looking for my uncle?"

"Exactly." Shopkeeper Wu nodded, and Wu Juye led him to sit down.

"My uncle went to the yamen to deliver the documents and the third deed." Wu Juye felt resentful. If the guy hadn't asked for a day off yesterday, he would be able to follow his uncle to the yamen today.

"What documents?" Shopkeeper Wu felt strange. He came here every day, and he never heard Wang Xiujin mention the documents.

"When my uncle comes back, you can ask him." After Wang Juye finished speaking, he stood in front of the shopkeeper's table. These days, the business in the shop is small, but the income is good. Several big households in the city come to buy I ordered crab field rice, and after tasting it, I wanted to eat it all by myself, but I was rejected by my uncle, and also set a limit. Each person can only buy one catty of crab field rice per day.Wang Juye couldn't figure out why his uncle did this, and was too embarrassed to ask, so he could only see and think for himself.

Shopkeeper Wu doesn't think it's strange to sit in other people's shops. Everyone in Wu County knows that he has a good relationship with Wang Xiujin, and some people with bad intentions even say that he wants to adopt Wang Xiujin under his knees. It can also cause trouble.

Wang Xiujin came back without making shopkeeper Wu wait too long. When he saw shopkeeper Wu, he hurriedly greeted him, went to wash his hands first, and then came to sit down. "Treasurer Wu, is there something wrong?"

"It's not because of the 'deed'." Shopkeeper Wu looked helpless, "Look, look, this is coming, all grocery stores will have three contracts in the future, no matter the new supply, the old supply must be unified. "

"Shopkeeper Wu, don't think it's a troublesome thing right now. You should know that if something happens, this is a guarantee and can reduce losses." Wang Xiujin is happy. Every policy is issued. It will be troublesome at the beginning, but after you get used to it , you will find that the policy is definitely useful.

Shopkeeper Wu felt that he couldn't explain it to Xiaowazi, and thought of the documents Wu Juye mentioned earlier, "What documents are you going to deliver?"

"In the villages near Wangcun, the written documents collectively established are based on the house and land deeds. It is impossible to ask them to pay the deposit. Using this as a deposit can restrain the other party. If the villagers do not take money out, there will be no conflicts. Emotions." Wang Xiujin poured a cup of tea, "People always have the mentality of being greedy for small profits. My crab rice is expensive, so how can others eat it ready-made? I didn't take advantage of others in vain. The villagers who farm the land have to be careful, no matter how expensive the rice is, it is nothing more than lifeline."

"They didn't object?" Shopkeeper Wu felt that Wang Xiujin's move was ruthless enough. Don't just look at taking out the money right now. Everyone feels distressed. They don't think there is anything wrong with taking the house or land as a mortgage. Only then did they know what they regretted.

"Of course there are those who object, so let's just put it aside. If you don't object, it's fine." Wang Xiujin smiled. Don't think he can laugh now. When he ran to the village to talk about it, he almost didn't get red-eyed by the unreasonable rascals. .

"Let me put it this way, I don't think it's difficult to make a 'deed' and hand over the documents." Shopkeeper Wu knocked on the table, "Will the county magistrate be embarrassed when he sees you handing over the documents?"

"I am the first one. The county magistrate will not be embarrassed. I am eager to praise the outside world. You must know that this deposit can be used in many ways." Wang Xiujin nodded to shopkeeper Wu, and shopkeeper Wu immediately understood that it was a deposit. It can solve the urgent need of the yamen, and even fall into the hands of the greedy for money.

If officials have nothing to gain, will they simply set policies?It must be to see the truth inside.Shopkeeper Wu shook his head slightly. They were all good laws and regulations, but when they got to the bottom, they changed. Not all those who suffered were powerless and powerless.Don't look at the businessmen who look rich and beautiful, but ordinary people don't know how much gifts they have to give officials a year to ensure a smooth year. Have a cup of tea and order some gadgets.

After sending shopkeeper Wu away, Wang Xiujin summoned Wu Juye, "Who are you showing your face?" When Wang Xiujin came back, he saw Wu Juye's face was not good-looking. There was an outsider just now, so naturally Wang Xiujin would not let his nephew lose face. There are only the two of them in the shop at the moment, so naturally we have to ask clearly, if he is deceived by someone who buys grain, he will persuade him a few words, but he will still teach him a lesson. Maybe he won't take a little anger, but be careful, if he can't even bear this, then he should send him back to the village chief earlier.

Wang Juye bit his lower lip, and secretly glanced at his uncle. Seeing that his face was normal and there was no business, he whispered the unhappiness in his heart.After Wang Xiujin finished listening, he looked at Wang Juye, somewhat dumbfounded. Thinking about Wang Juye's age, he felt more and more like child labor abuse.Wang Xiujin asked him to sit down, and the words came to his lips, fearing that if he spoke harshly, he would hurt the child.Wang Xiujin explained to his nephew the reasons for not letting him go very seriously and carefully. The more Wang Juye listened, the more he felt that he was being indifferent and making trouble. Thinking of his great-grandfather's confession, Wang Juye lowered his head in shame and said "I was wrong" repeatedly.

"Now that you know your mistakes, you must correct them. You must not make mistakes and correct them. If you correct them, you will repeat them. If you make mistakes, you must correct them again." Wang Xiujin poked his little nephew on the head. "Okay, let's go to work, let's have something different for lunch today."

Wang Juye's eyes sparkled when he heard that there was something delicious to eat, and he became more energetic in his work.Wang Xiujin looked at his nephew and smiled, thinking, after all, he was still a child, with all his emotions and anger written on his face.While thinking about what to have for lunch, he thought that the rice sent by the shopkeeper should have entered Beijing, and he didn't know how.

Shopkeeper Yu escorted several carts of grain into Beijing, and the journey was very smooth, without suffering much, let alone meeting anyone who made trouble.When he arrived in the capital, he rushed directly to the address given by shopkeeper Wu.Standing outside the shop, shopkeeper Yu hesitated for a long time, still not sure if it was here.Self-confessed as someone who has seen things before, shopkeeper Yu is looking at a shop with the same plaque as Wu County, but much more glossy and gorgeous than the grocery store in Wu County. It doesn't look like ordinary people would enter The grocery store is more like a place that only the nobles can enter and leave.

The guy who greeted him at the door saw that the shopkeeper had been standing outside the door, and he was worried about whether it was a gangster. He had been watching carefully, but he looked at the other party carefully, and felt that he did not seem to be an evil person. After hesitating for a while, he went out to say hello, " What do you want to buy? The small shop has everything from the south and the north. If you can’t find what you want, you can also leave a letter and report it to the owner. You take it with you."

"Is there a shopkeeper surnamed Liu here?" Shopkeeper Yu was taken aback by the greeting from the sudden attendant, and then explained the purpose of his trip.

"Shopkeeper Liu? Who are you?" The clerk didn't expect that the other party was looking for someone. The person looking for shopkeeper Liu, almost all of their clerks knew each other.

"Come down to Wu County, Xiangcheng, and send a letter to shopkeeper Liu, and bring some things." Shopkeeper Yu took out the letter written by the shopkeeper of Xiangcheng.

The clerk took a look and saw that the other party didn't seem to be lying, so he greeted the other party and entered the shop, "Wait a while, I'll ask the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper Yu thanked him repeatedly, watched the clerk leave, and then looked around the interior of the grocery store. The clerks who came and went to greet the customers all looked clever.Shopkeeper Yu didn't wait too long, and saw the waiter ushering out a person who looked more like a scholar. "This is our Shopkeeper Liu."

"My surname is Liu, I don't know what you are looking for?"

Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly delivered the letter, and after the other party read the letter quickly, he looked up at the shopkeeper, "I don't know where the goods are?"

"Station."

"Let's go and have a look." Shopkeeper Liu was a little anxious. These few days, the boss would send someone over from time to time to ask if the grain in Wu County had arrived. Shopkeeper Liu naturally wanted to collect the grain quickly, and even more wanted to see the difference .

He didn't show it on the shopkeeper's face, and compared himself with the other party in his heart, so he felt a little ashamed.But soon the shopkeeper took it easy, and he sent the food. Before it came out, the shopkeeper sent someone to deliver the letter, but the grocery store didn't give the money. The list of goods, and then go to the owner of the grocery store to ask for money.

When he arrived at the post station, shopkeeper Liu counted the quantity, which was consistent with what was reported in the letter. He also weighed it, and there was no problem. He planned to take it away, but was stopped by shopkeeper Yu before he could take two steps. "I also ask shopkeeper Liu to write a receipt for me. After I go back, I can do business with my boss."

Shopkeeper Liu only carefully looked at shopkeeper Yu at this moment, "Aren't you from the shop?"

"I'm the shopkeeper of Wang's Grain Shop." Shopkeeper Yu cupped his hands, "I'd like to ask Shopkeeper Liu to make it easier for you."

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Liang, then at Shopkeeper Yu, thought for a while and then nodded.Seeing that the other party responded, shopkeeper Yu was determined.With the written evidence written by the other party, his mission to Beijing this time is considered complete.

After the grain entered Beijing, within an hour, the prince in the palace knew about it, and immediately brought Li Sushan out of the palace.Prepare to taste the difference, whether it is really as written in the letter.

The prince can be regarded as No. 1 among those who bring their own food into the restaurant. The shopkeeper of the restaurant looks worried, but he dare not offend anyone. You must know that anyone in the capital may be a nobleman.The shopkeeper bit the bullet and took the rice, sent it to the back kitchen, asked the other party to cook the rice, and then sent it to the "Zizhu" room on the third floor.

The person who cooked the rice frowned when he saw that there was only one bag of rice. What is the price of this rice?They even bring their own rice, these nobles are really troublesome.
