Mrs. Quanfu wants to leave

Chapter 266 Sending Letters Three Times
Uncle Zhao and Zhao Dalang didn't stay long after they settled the matter, they left at noon, and in the afternoon Zhao and Lu Fenghe went to the old house as planned.

When the old lady heard Mrs. Zhao say that she would go to Kuizhou in early September, she agreed immediately, and urged Mrs. Zhao to leave early if there was nothing to do, the old couple would be fine.

After sitting for a while, the servant next to Lu Erlang came to invite Lu Fenghe, "Our lord invites Miss Shi to the study to talk."

Mrs. Zhao urged Lu Fenghe, "Go ahead, I'll have a chat with your grandmother."

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot, but Uncle Zhao guessed it right. Lu Erlang really came to her for the ship's money.

"The steward next to you went to the shipyard in the morning and said that he will go there again in four days. Are you planning to continue this business together?"

"If it can be done, it will naturally be done."

Lu Erlang didn't give the box, but directly gave a few bank notes, "Since we have to go this route all the time, then the boat fare has to be paid separately."

"Brother, what does this mean?"

"Except for the boss and an experienced boatman, most of the people on the boat are from your side, and the boat has never been on this line a few times."

"If I have too many people, I will leave some of them on this trip."

What Lu Fenghe thinks is that since it is a boat company, there are boats and boatmen, if there are too many people, the boatmen of the boathouse will be idle. In places like boathouses that often need boatmen, most of the boatmen are on long-term contracts. When you are free, you have to pay wages.

Lu Erlang shook his head, "That's not necessary. Our other lines are running normally. You have an extra line. If everyone on the boat has to travel by boat, the boat company really can't deploy so many people."

"Then what does brother mean by giving me this money?"

"The boat company plans to take this route often, so there will be even more shortage of people. If you can get more people every time you go out on the boat, it will be easy to handle. As for the wages of the boatmen on the boat, it will all be paid by the boat company. out."

"Ah? Need someone?" Lu Fenghe didn't expect that Lu Erlang not only gave money but also wanted someone. This person came from Shen Nanxun's side, can it be said?
"Walk this route often?"

Lu Erlang nodded, "You came back after a long walk, and I don't know where the news leaked out. Several merchants came to the shipyard to inquire when we will leave again."

Lu Fenghe got excited and asked Lu Erlang, "Brother, who are you asking about?"

Lu Erlang mentioned several commercial firms, some of which Lu Fenghe knew, and some of which Lu Fenghe had no impression of.

"Is there any firm you are familiar with and trustworthy?"

"In terms of reputation, in fact, I prefer to do business with small firms. I can do as much work as I have, and pay as much as I can pay for the boat. When the ship comes back, the money will be settled. It's clean, but there are some big firms. Three or five times or even three months and five months, it's really annoying."

"Why is the big business like this?" In Lu Fenghe's shallow business experience, shouldn't the big business give more money and be more happy?
"Large volume requires a lot of space to spend, and I understand their difficulties. Understandable is understandable."

Lu Fenghe has a new idea, but it's hard to talk to the second brother Lu.

"If there is a business firm that my second brother thinks is not bad, I can write to me. In the past two days, I can let the manager on my side go for a walk. The second brother should know this line better than me. It's not going to Shenzhou. It's as simple as taking a trip to Rushui."

Brother Lu nodded, "I know about this, and my grandfather told me about it, so I didn't promise them, but I mentioned it to you first."

"Thank you, Second Brother. I'll also contact various companies. Anyway, there are still a few days left."

What Lu Erlang didn't tell Lu Fenghe was that Shen Nanxun and Lu Sanye both wrote letters to the old man for the northwest line, and the old man even called him to give him a warning when he was ill.

As for the origins of the people in Lu Fenghe's hands, Lu Erlang knew better than Lu Fenghe, the superficial master.

"As for the people my brother mentioned, I'm afraid there won't be many in a while. I have to search again."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you directly about the Northwest line. No matter how many ships you take in the future, I will only provide ten boatmen for each ship. If there is a shortage of people, you can find a way yourself. The shipping company really doesn't have that many manpower. .”

Lu Fenghe knows that ten people are not enough for a boat, even a small sand boat. The further you go to the hinterland, the narrower the river, and the smaller the wind and waves on the river. Sometimes it is impossible to rely on sails, and you often have to rely on the boatman in the bilge. Work harder.

A sand boat, just to transport goods, at least two or thirty people, these ten people, how can it be enough, she only has a hundred people in her hand, and she can only go out with ten boats.

Lu Erlang didn't care what Lu Fenghe did, this matter was explained by the old man, even if his sister's face was wrinkled into a bitter melon, he couldn't do anything about it.

When Lu Fenghe walked out of Lu Erlang's study, his first reaction was that he had to write another letter to Shen Nanxun. If he wanted to join other people to go northwest, ten boats would not be enough, nor would a hundred people.

It's just a combination. How to use a combination method is also a problem.

When Lu Fenghe was found by Uncle Zhao and Lu Erlang, he had one head and two big heads, filled with difficult problems.

After leaving the old house, someone sent a message to Jinbao to visit the few businesses that Lu Erlang had mentioned.

If it was a joint trading company, Lu Fenghe felt that she had turned herself into a North-South goods company again, which was not what she wanted.

She had to write a letter to Shen Nanxun, she was right to mention this matter, but she couldn't do it, she just wanted to be a tea shop.

In one day, Lu Fenghe sent letters to Shen Nanxun three times. If Xiang Ya'er knew that Lu Fenghe was a good person, she would also explain to the sender that it was not about the wife and children, and the sender would have been a little flustered. It's crazy, don't tell me something happened, I didn't notice it on my side, and I couldn't report it to the master.

Shen Nanxun received three letters from Lu Fenghe the next day, and he really panicked, his hands trembling when opening the letters.

Fortunately, Lu Fenghe's first letter talked about Qizhou and tea, and also mentioned that the border market cannot be done by relying on her alone.

The second letter only mentioned people and wanted to unite with other firms.

The third letter was even simpler, "The joint company is too complicated, I can't do it, I just want to be a tea shop."

Shen Nanxun laughed when he saw the third letter. There was only one thing revealed between the lines. I was tired and exhausted. I didn't want to do this thing anymore.

Shen Nanxun thought for a while and called Shou Kang in.

"Find a few people with clean backgrounds who are capable of doing business, and then ask Mr. to come in."

As soon as Shou Kang raised his eyes, he saw the portraits of the young master and sister facing him. Originally, there was a map of Dayong hanging on the side of the desk, but now there was a portrait of him brought back from Piling. As for the map, it was naturally drawn. Take it down.

Shou Kang still remembers the way his master asked people to take the map at that time, the expressions on his face were very complicated, with contempt, disgust, heartache, and complacency.

"What the hell, the ancestor's territory will be kept in charge of the Wang family for another ten or eight years, and I'm afraid it will be smaller."
