Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 989
Merchants traveling to and from Huainan mainly gather in two areas near Shouchun. One is near Luojian, which surrounds Luojian's smelting base. They are usually representatives of powerful military leaders from all sides and buy and sell all kinds of ordnance, ore, fuel and other goods. broker.

The other is the area between Shaopi and Feishui River, where water and land transportation is convenient, there are many warehouses and wharves, and the surrounding area of ​​Shaopi is also the concentration area of ​​various handicraft industries in Huainan.

Of course, there is another place besides this, which is the new and popular Qianjin Mansion, but those who can have a residence there are all wealthy businessmen with extremely strong financial resources and backgrounds, and in order not to disturb the Eldest Princess and calm down. Mr. Shi Xiaolang's Anyang is not in a hurry to move in.

Merchants mostly make money from harmony, even if they are lonely and not congenial, but merchants from all walks of life gather together to exchange greetings and information, which is itself a business opportunity.Therefore, merchants from the north and the south have different backgrounds, but as long as they are in Huainan, communicating with each other is one of their most important daily activities.

The Luo family in Yuzhang was one of the first batch of merchants to settle in Huainan. Although it was not as big as Xiong's, Hu's and other tycoons in Huainan, they have accumulated a lot of contacts in the past few years.So when his family's business encountered twists and turns, it quickly spread around, and merchants from all over the world also came to visit in the name of condolences, asking for inside information.

Luo Zhen, as the main person in charge of Luo's business in Huainan, inevitably had to come forward to receive these people, but he was not in a good mood, and his smile was a bit forced.

Just as Shen Zhezi expected, Luo's goods were detained in Hefei this time, and there were indeed some reasons for his own fault.Since most of the customs orders issued by the Governor's Mansion this time are grain, and grain is hard currency everywhere, it is difficult to smuggle other goods and then buy supplements along the way.

In recent years, Jiangzhou has had a great harvest and has rarely been involved in major events, so the price of grain and goods around Yuzhang is already very low, even between five and six dollars per bucket of rice.However, due to well-known reasons, the price of grain in Huainan has soared, and the price of private purchases even exceeded [-] yuan for a bucket of rice.However, the target of this trade is the Huainan Dudufu, and it is such a large transaction, the price of grain is still between [-] and [-] yuan according to the category.

But even so, after deducting all the expenses along the way, you can still make four to five times the profit, which can also be called huge profits.However, when doing business abroad, it is natural to maximize the benefits, and who would think that money is too hot.

Therefore, in addition to grain and goods, Roche also matched some other private goods with good market prices, and prepared to sell them along the way.But there are not a few business trips with these purposes, and Roche is not the first to do so, and the sales of the goods along the way are extremely unsatisfactory.

Luo Zhen was also dizzy, and after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't bear to dump the goods that he bothered to buy at a low price, and planned to transport them to Huainan for storage, so as to wait for the Dawang City in the coming year.

Although there was an old enemy Wang Qianqi on the way, but Luo Zhen felt that the momentum in Huainan was rising and this batch of grain was in urgent need, and if he took out some of the goods to clear things up, Wang Qianqi might not dare to seize the goods directly.

But Wang Qianqi really did this, which also made Luo Zhen quite helpless, begging to go straight to Huainan without any results, and begging the governor's mansion to come forward to settle Wang Qianqi, and blow his temper by the way.

However, he did not expect that the mere 30 dendrobium grain goods would directly attract the governor himself, which really caught him by surprise, and he became nervous after leaving the governor's mansion.

Although the great governor looks handsome, but if he really turns his face, he will be a real murderer. He has been doing business in Huainan for a long time, and Luo Zhen has seen with his own eyes how he persecuted the unruly townspeople in those counties in southern Henan. His family was ruined and his family was destroyed, and he abandoned his hometown and fled.

In addition to expressing condolences, most of the merchants who came to visit were actually on the sidelines.Hanging around in the same circle, their goals and intentions are quite similar, and most of them can guess why such a thing happened to Roche.

Although each family may not be as unlucky as Luo Shi is to have an old enemy like Wang Qianqi who holds the key to provoke, but in fact it is a silent tacit understanding to carry private goods, the difference is only the courage.So how to solve Roche's predicament this time is also an omen for them.

"Nowadays, the affairs of the north are making great progress, and the use of things is in a hurry. We are doing business here. Although we claim to be profitable, we are not responding to the call of the governor, and assisting the king's affairs with our own meager strength. You don't have to worry too much, Mr. Luo. , the Dudu Mansion will never turn a blind eye to the occurrence of such evil things, and it must be resolved soon!"

Hearing the consolation from everyone in the banquet, Luo Zhen couldn't help laughing wryly, he also had the same thought at the beginning, so he dared to break the ban even though he knew that there was trouble like Wang Qianqi.However, this confidence was shaken when seeing the chief governor in person at the governor's mansion.

With the growth of Dingcang, the threshold for doing business in various places has been reduced to an extremely low level. As long as the general Shiliu portal can afford the first batch of goods to be successfully transported to Huainan, the future will be a steady stream of wealth and goods.

Although Luo's family in Yuzhang is also a wealthy family, it is a little bit reluctant to raise 30 hu of grain in such a short period of time and successfully transport it to Jiangbei.Half of these grains alone were purchased in Xiangzong.

So what that person said about helping the king seemed to be that the Dudu Mansion needed them, but in fact they each relied more on the Dudu Mansion.Once things go beyond the rules and exceed the bottom line of the Governor's Mansion, the current trade routes will soon be replaced by other township clans.Especially after the king's affairs have made great progress, the situation in the coming year will definitely be very good, and I don't know how many wealthy families in the village will be brought up.

If Luo Shi felt bad for the Dudu Mansion because of this omission, he would definitely be alienated and embarrassed, and that would really be a waste of money.

Originally, Luo Zhen's idea was that if the Dudu Mansion didn't care about this matter, he would incite good merchants to put a little pressure on the Dudu Mansion.But because the governor personally came forward, he didn't dare to do this again, otherwise he would be really trying to die!

One of the people in the banquet kept bowing their heads in silence. When Luo Zhen's eyes fell on the other party, a glint of hope flashed in his eyes, and he said to the other party: "This time the collection of goods goes northward, the benefit is the second, and the reason is more important." I still hope that I can give a little help to the governor. Right now, the governor’s mansion is busy with things, so I may not be in a hurry for such trivial matters, and then I will ask Mr. Hu to help me a little bit. I will never forget the kindness of my hometown!"

That person was not very old among the merchants, only 27 or [-], but the seat was in a prominent position.The reason why he is valued among the merchants is not because of his wealth, but because he has a cousin named Hu Run, who is not only a student of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but also a new supervisor of the Shengwu Army.This background alone is more useful in Huainan than the Sangong Taifu portal.

The man's name was Hu Hong, and when Luo Zhen lowered his posture and asked softly, there was not much arrogance on his face, but he said seriously: "You don't need to worry too much, Mr. Luo, we will walk in Huainan longer, Naturally, I also know how the Dudu Mansion is doing. If this is just a random disaster, it must be resolved in a short time, and it will not be a problem."

After Luo Zhen and the others heard this, their expressions were a little unnatural, even if they secretly slandered, they didn't dare to show it in words.

At this time, Luo's family suddenly reported that officials from the Dudu's mansion came to see him.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help comforting Luo Zhen or the Dudu's Mansion already had a solution and came to inform them. After hearing the words, Luo Zhen was also mixed in joy and sorrow, and went out to greet him in person.Everyone else wanted to wait and see how the situation would develop, and they were not in a hurry to leave at the moment. Seeing several officials who were in charge of the warehouse in the Dudu Mansion walk in, they all got up and saluted.

The officials of the Governor's Mansion did not make many empty words, they just took out the government's order to announce the decision of the Governor.

Hearing that all the assets under his sect were to be sealed up for investigation, Luo Zhen's expression changed drastically, and his figure was on the verge of falling. If his family members hadn't rushed forward to help him, he would almost fall to the ground.

After the other people heard this, they were silent for a while. First, they didn't expect that such a trivial matter would be dealt with by the governor himself, and second, they didn't expect that the handling would be so severe that they would confiscate all of Roche's assets at any time. Rhythm!
Hu Hong frowned slightly after listening to the order of the Governor's Mansion in the banquet, and said: "The inside story is not yet clear, so how to deal with it, is it..."

After the official heard the words, he said with a smile: "Right now, I'm just asking as usual. Please rest assured, Mr. Luo and everyone. This matter has been personally watched by the governor, and the result must be upright. If it is found out that the county is really selfish Harmful to the public, forcibly obstructing business routes, the Governor's Mansion will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation at that time, no matter who is involved!"

Hu Hong also shut up when he heard this. Since the governor made such a statement, it is conceivable that the king must be in trouble.And looking at Luo Zhen's sweaty appearance, he also knew that it would not be easy for Luo Shi to pass this hurdle.

As for the other people, their faces were also changing, and they all had no intention of staying. After the officials of the governor's mansion left, they all got up and said goodbye, each looking for ways to find out the inside story.

"Hu Jun, please stay!"

Luo Zhen didn't have the intention to keep guests at the moment, but just grabbed Hu Hong, with a pleading look on his face: "This time we are in a difficult situation, I also ask Hu Junshan to help, and be careful in front of the governor. This time, my family It is true that I have a little selfishness, but I still put the use of the governor's mansion first. This point of sincerity, I hope Mr. Hu will report it to the governor no matter what. If, if my family can survive this calamity, what is involved in this Capital goods, I am willing to transfer [-]% to Mr. Hu, make a contract, and never deceive each other!"

Hu Hong couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows when he heard this, but then he thought about his cousin telling him that as long as he followed the rules of the governor, the Hu family would have no problem in prospering, and he warned him not to violate the prohibition and engage in private affairs.

What's more, Hu Hong didn't know how deep the water was, especially since the matter had already been questioned by the governor himself, he didn't dare to agree casually. After hearing the words, he said: "Luo Jun's words, on the contrary, made me a villain who took advantage of the fire. I really don't dare to humiliate the village with such an evil thing, but a little investigation for Mr. Hu is also the friendship of the village."

"Please Hu Jun..."

Hearing what Hu Hong said, Luo Zhen didn't dare to say anything more. He would have to count his own belongings later to cooperate with the governor's mansion. He didn't have much free time, so he let Hu Hong leave by himself.

The 30 dendrobium grain goods may be in large quantities elsewhere, but they are nothing in Huainan right now.But because the governor personally intervened, the meaning is naturally different, so merchants from all sides are also paying close attention to the development of the situation.

A few days later, another shocking news came. Ji You, a member of the governor's mansion, went to Hefei, and directly brought Lujiang prefect Wang Jianqi into the mansion for accountability.

After learning about this, the entire Shouchun was in an uproar again, and felt even more impressed by the high power and prestige of Governor Shen.Wang Qianqi himself was a member of the Two Thousand Stones, and he was also the head of a powerful army, yet he was summoned by a piece of paper just because of this trivial incident!
