Blood from Daming

Chapter 43
Accompanied by the owner of the seller, Xue Rui entered the main hall of the courtyard, and the local village chief Jiashou who had been invited to act as a middleman had already been waiting for tea in the house. Sitting down separately, the head of the village asked about the situation of the sale and purchase. Both Xue Rui and the seller said that everything was in order, and then the head of the village took the land deed that had been written from Shou Jia for them to review.

After reading it, Xue Rui and the seller said that there was no problem. The village chief said: "The buyer and seller's pledge will take effect. The buyer's payable house price will be discounted to 4000 taels of silver. The seller's pledge will be effective, but I declare that according to the Daming regulations, the seller can go back on his word within three days. , Do you hear clearly?"

Both Xue Rui and the seller said that they heard clearly, and the head of the village asked them to sign and draw a deposit. The remaining two are Zhongren and the government.

Xue Rui asked Steward Mao to give a red envelope to Li Chang Jiashou. The Li Chang and Jiashou congratulated Xue Rui repeatedly. Xue Rui and the seller delivered the silver. up.

The seller handed Xue Rui the deed of sale of the servants in the family, and Xue Rui handed it to Xue Yun who was beside him. Xue Yun flipped through about twenty sheets, stopped for a while, Xue Yun looked up at the seller and asked, "Thank you!" Ask your master, I heard that you were in the grain and oil business before."

Seller: "My lord is mainly engaged in grain business."

Xue Yun: "Why didn't I do it again?"

The seller sighed: "This grain business is not easy to do. The cost of transporting ships from the south of the Yangtze River is too high, and when they arrive in Tianjin, they are bought by dignitaries in the capital at a low price. After a few years, countless capitals have been lost. The business is very good. Nine thanks to this business not to do."

Xue Yun shook his head: "When I heard from my friends that the grain business was making a lot of money, I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns."

Seller: "Actually, this business is as easy as it sounds. Back then, a fellow from my hometown was an official in Beijing and made a lot of money. After he was released, he couldn't do it without a big backer."

Xue Yun didn't answer, and casually handed over the servant's contract of sale to old housekeeper Mao and said, "All these people have been called in, I have something to say."

After a while, twenty servants came together, and Xue Yun said: "Everyone, I am not your master yet, but your master transferred you to me, and did not sell you, which shows that your former master treated you very well. I think I am a pretty good person.”

A few little maids below laughed.Xue Yun stopped and waited for a while, and when no one made a sound, he continued: "My family is from a military background, and I don't know much about pity and pity. I'm afraid that if you follow my family, you will be wronged. Besides, the man in my family is going to use knives and guns. The death of a general is a normal thing." , think about it for yourself, if you don’t want to keep the Xue family deed, I will refund you voluntarily, and each will give 50 taels of silver as a settling fee.” The servants chattered and discussed.

When Xue Yun was leaving the house, the seller caught up and asked, "My lord, do you think it is possible to do business with you?"

Xue Yun was silent for a while: "You are a smart person, and you are not tired of talking to smart people."

The seller hurriedly said: "The villain wants to know what conditions the adults have."

Xue Yun: "Sell your goods to me at the market price."

When the seller heard this, there was such a good thing: "The villain's goods must be lower than the market price. I just want to know how to transport them into the capital, or have other ways to deal with those people."

Xue Yun: "I'm in charge of the Zhili territory, do you have the ability to handle the others?"

The seller was delighted: "The villains in the Jiangnan area still have a solution. The only thing is that the boundary of the capital is not easy to handle. If the adults can solve this one today, the deal will be done."

Xue Yun made an agreement with the seller: the seller will deliver the goods to the designated place in Zhili and Shandong, and Xue Yun will do the rest.The seller was overjoyed and sent Xue Yun's family out happily. The yard sale also sold a big business, and the depressed mood suddenly improved.

Xue Rui, Xue Yun returned to his mansion, Xue Rui asked Xue Yun to go into the inner courtyard to talk together.Xue Rui: "Yun'er went to see the owner because she wanted to do business with him."

Xue Yun: "Grandpa just went to have a look, but it just happened to make sense, so he talked about this business by the way."

Xue Rui: "How can my business survive, even if I sell other people's clumsy goods, how can I deal with it?"

Xue Yun: "Nowadays, the materials of Ming Dynasty are loose in the south and tight in the north. If you have goods in your hands, you have money in your hands. I will ask him to supply whatever goods are needed in the capital. There will be unsellable goods."

Xue Rui: "Business in the capital is difficult. If you transport goods long-distance into the capital, I'm afraid that the profit will not be there at that time. Yun'er, you are always smart, do you have any sayings in it?"

Xue Yun rationalized his thoughts and explained some truths: "Grandpa, there are many famines in the Ming Dynasty. There are many water transport management cards in the north and south, and bandits from the source are all living beings. The goods from the south are becoming scarce. Receive the goods immediately, almost buy them as soon as they are available, causing prices to rise. Grandpa has stayed in the north for many years, so the nomads in the north must have been hit by natural disasters. Grab this way."

Xue Rui: "Yun'er, what you are talking about is this reason, you continue to talk about it."

Xue Yun: "The more valuable the goods will be when there is a catastrophe in this world, more goods can help the people of Ming Dynasty more, and it can even support the army of Ming Dynasty to fight. At that time, my family has made money and my family has a name. Why not do it."

Xue Rui: "With you in the Xue family, I don't have to worry about it. By the way, the housekeeper said yesterday that the street rice store will be sold. I heard that you have bought another store and let it go."

Xue Yun: "Grandfather will buy it if it suits him, and if there is one more street, there will be one more place to go to buy grain."

Xue Rui: "Many shops need to add more staff, and it will cost a lot of money. Tell me what you think."

Xue Yun: "I eat food not to make money, but to stabilize the market and make more contributions to the people of Ming Dynasty with food in hand. After having food, I can train elite soldiers, fight Tartars, defend Daming, and make the Xue family prosperous. Leave a name in history."

Xue Rui said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that others will think that my Xue family is planning to do something wrong and bring disaster to the whole family."

Xue Yun was stunned for a while before he said: "I am determined to serve the country and the people. I will not shy away from swords and axes. I will put the people of the world first. Although I have no regrets even if I die, if someone imposes a crime on me or frame me, I should know that Xue Yun knows that I will serve the country faithfully. , but not the foolish and loyal Yue Fei."

It took Xue Rui a long time to say: "Do it yourself, but don't forget what you said today. My Xue family is worthy of the sky above, and the earth below. The reason is all for the common people of the Daming Society, I believe that God will not fail me, if it is not like this, it is my family's fate, so what should I say to my husband."

Xue Yun sat alone on the roof of Xue Mansion in a daze, and he didn't come down to the ground until it was dark.He thought a lot on the roof, but the most was his life experience in a different world: Where is he an ordinary person, his name is Zhu Zilong, and his home is on a small street by the Yangtze River, and there is a small street named Hualong Bridge, where is he? There used to be a beautiful legend that one day he finally left the place where he was born and raised, and his relatives, neighbors, and people around him left with him, and the last thing left was the honor of the ancient family. Zhu Zilong’s ancestor was the Ming Dynasty The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Xue Yun was standing in the yard, Xue Liu and Accountant An had been waiting for him on the ground and did not bother him.Xue Yun: "How are things going?"

Xue Liu: "There are seven or eight carts of goods bought by the accountant's house, and there are twelve carts in the mansion, which is enough for the countryside for a while."

Accountant An: "The trucks from the grain store pass by the gate of the house. When the time comes, the two trucks at home will just keep up."

Xue Yun: "You stay and drink with me."

Accountant An: "Master, it's better to wait for the ladies and children at home next time."

Xue Yun nodded, and Accountant An left reluctantly.Xue Liu scolded: "He really doesn't know how to flatter."

Xue Yun: "Sixth brother, you don't have to worry about it. The two of us have a lot of important things to say, so let's talk while we walk."
