Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"Bangor folks, here is some good news. The Qinghai businessman contacted by our township head came to Bangor to collect leather, yak hair, wool, beef and mutton, and the price they gave was very reasonable.

In addition, if there are precious goods such as cordyceps sinensis and matsutake, the price will be higher.

Interested folks can go to the township Yaqian to take a look. If you miss this episode, there may not be such a good thing in the next episode! "

In the previous month, Dorje was one of the officials who visited Tibetans for population registration in Bangor Township.Because he is a Tibetan, he got acquainted with Tibetans very quickly, and now he has gained a certain amount of trust from many Tibetans.

At this time, after hearing his words, the bold Tibetans around immediately asked: "Duoji, you said the price is real, how real is it? Is it possible that it can be higher than the purchase price of the chiefs?"

Duoji smiled and said: "The township government office is at the east end of the market, not far away. Don't you know if Brother Karma goes to have a look, and it won't waste much time."

"Xiangya? I don't dare to go to that place casually." Karma, who asked boldly, shrank her head.

Duoji explained helplessly: "It's not inside the township yamen, but outside—you'll find out if you go and have a look. If you're late, the businessman from Qinghai might leave after spending all his money."

After hearing this, many Tibetans really moved their minds and walked to the township government with their goods on their backs.

Just after Duoji left, two slightly fat men with better clothes and better complexions walked out of a nearby shop.

The taller of the two is the owner of the grocery store and one of the leaders of the Bangor area in the past. His name is Garang Zedan, also known as Zedan.

The shorter one is the owner of another shop, who came here as a guest. He was also one of the former leaders of the Bangor area, named Bangor Zongwang.

Watching Duoji continue to promote to the west, Zong Wang frowned and said: "The township government contacted the merchants in Qinghai to collect furs? Isn't this robbing us of business?"

Zedan also frowned, but said in his mouth: "It may not be just to compete with us, it depends on the price offered by the Qinghai businessman."

In the past, these leaders bought serfs' furs and other goods at low prices and sold them to obtain higher profits.Now that serfdom has been abolished, they are even more prepared to take this as their main business and continue to squeeze the former serfs.

Unexpectedly, the township government even contacted businessmen in Qinghai to compete with them for business.

It should be noted that the goods they bought at a low price were sold to the big bosses above, and the big bosses sold them to Qinghai merchants.

Now that the businessman from Qinghai has come directly to Bangor, leaving out the two middlemen, can the price be unreasonable?
Zedan's grocery store mainly sells outside things, and the purchase of furs is second.However, Zongwang's shop is mainly engaged in the purchase of furs, so he is not at ease, and immediately went to the township government to find out what happened.

When he arrived at the place, Zong Wang saw that many people had surrounded the township yamen, and the scene was in full swing.

But everyone is scrambling to sell goods to several Qinghai businessmen.

Thanks to Zhe Bu, director of the Township Police Station, who led twenty armed patrols transferred from the Qinghai Garrison to maintain order, the Tibetans did not fall into chaos.

Zong Wang looked at it for a while, and then his face became livid.

The prices these Qinghai merchants bought for various goods were at least [-]% higher than the prices they usually gave. No wonder these former slaves rushed to sell the goods. No wonder he opened the door for a long time in the morning, and came to his shop to sell goods. There are only a handful of people.

In fact, not to mention these Tibetans, the prices of some of the goods moved even him.

Because that price is a little higher than what he sold to the big boss above!

But greed made him think that it would be great if he could buy the furs of everyone in Bangor at a low price and sell them to these Qinghai businessmen.

After watching for a while, when Zongwang was about to leave, he saw a serf who belonged to him in the past, and Tashi, who was especially capable among the serfs, brought a lot of goods to the township yamen with his three sons on horseback. It looked like it was going to be sold to a Qinghai businessman.

In the past, all the goods of Tashi's family were sold to him—a considerable part of them even had to be handed over directly to him, the master.

Seeing that Tashi didn't intend to sell the goods to him at this time, Zongwang was inexplicably angry.

"Tashi!" He went to stop him with a cold face.

"Headman?" Tashi saw Zongwang, subconsciously nodded and bowed, showing a flattering expression.

Tashi is able to support his three sons, not only because he is capable, but also because he is more sophisticated.

As soon as he saw Zong Wang here, he realized that something was wrong.But let him take the goods to sell to Zongwang now, but he won't do it - the price difference between the two sides is too great.

"Tashi, in the past, I would accept all the goods you got from the market, and the prices were not low. Why, today you want to sell the goods to Qinghai merchants?

Let me tell you, this Qinghai businessman may not come again in the future.If you sell the goods to them today, don't even think about selling them to me in the future! "

The threatening meaning of Zongwang's words was obvious, which made Tashi feel awkward.

Since he was afraid of offending Zongwang, if the merchants from Qinghai did not come, he would not be able to sell the goods to Zongwang.But I can't bear the opportunity to sell so many goods at a high price today.

While he was struggling, a voice sounded.

"Bango Zongwang, are you threatening others to sell you goods? Buying and selling by force is against the law of the Ming Dynasty, do you know that?"

The two heard the sound and looked at it, but they didn't know when Zhe Bu, the chief of the township police station, came over.

Not far away, on the steps in front of the gate of the township yamen, the township head Zhang Wenzhuo was also looking at this side.

Looking at the armed patrolmen with muskets on their backs, Zong Wang, who was just a little man, became subconsciously afraid.

"I'm just reminding Tashi that I don't mean to buy or sell by force." After speaking, Zongwang fled in despair.

Zhebu looked at Tashi, smiled and said, "Tashi, right? You don't have to worry, the township head has already told these Qinghai businessmen that they will come to Bangor at least once every two months, and they won't let you The goods are accumulated in the hands and cannot be sold.”

Tashi said happily: "Really?"

"Of course, what the mayor said could be false?"

Tashi also saw that Zongwang was afraid of the township chief and other officials and patrolmen in the township government, so he stopped entangled, took his three sons, and sold all the goods carried by several horses to Qinghai merchants, and exchanged some of them on the spot. needed living materials.

Only then did they realize that Qinghai merchants not only paid high prices for fur and other goods, but also sold good and cheap goods, which were much more affordable than those in the headmen's shops.

But Zong Wang went back to his shop first, and seeing that there was no customer in the shop, he went to Zidan's grocery store to visit.

After he entered the shop, he sneered and said, "Sure enough, not many people come from your side."

"What's wrong with you? Do you speak strangely?" Zedan asked puzzled.

"Zidan, you don't even know? Those Qinghai merchants not only buy furs and other goods at low prices, but also sell outside goods at low prices.

Now those who want to buy things have gone to the gate of the township yamen, how can there be someone here? "

Zedan's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked, "What you said is true?!"

"Trick you into being a puppy!"

Zedan frowned and said: "The township government is too careless, even stealing our business."

Zong Wang looked at him and said, "It's useless for you to complain here, we have to find a way."

"That's the town government, and there's a Ming army, what can we do to deal with it?"

Zong Wang sneered and said: "We can't deal with the township government, and we can't deal with it, but those Qinghai businessmen can.

You said, if these Qinghai merchants were robbed by bandits on the way back to Qinghai with the purchased goods, would they still come to Bangor again? "

Second more.

Good night~
