Xuzhou, Xiapi County.
Xuzhou faces the sea to the east and is rich in maritime resources because it is close to the coastline. Especially on the beach near the sea in Xuzhou, you can dry salt and there are many salt farms. In this era, salt and iron management were the most profitable businesses.
Especially the salt in Xuzhou is famous throughout the country.
So, Xuzhou is very wealthy.
?Compared to Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places, Xuzhou is the richest place. As the administrative seat of Xuzhou, Xiapi is also very lively and prosperous with people coming and going.
On this day, outside Xiapi City.
Four people came on horseback. They were Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng, Zhao Yuyan and Su Lie.
They set off from Nanyang and hurried all the way. Now that we arrived outside Xiapi City, we slowed down a little. After all, there are many people coming and going, and it is impossible to ride a horse quickly.
Wang Qi and his party entered Xiapi City. Without wasting time, they asked passers-by for the location of Chenji Trading Company. After finding out, they went straight to Chenji Trading Company.
This is the reason why Wang Qi came to Xiapi to buy food.
Chenji Trading Company was a trading firm quietly opened by Zhao Shao in Xiapi. It was very famous in the grain merchant business in Xiapi.
Before leaving Chang'an, Zhao Shao gave Wang Qi a token of contact and asked Wang Qi to withdraw 300,000 taels of silver from Chenji Trading Company. With this amount of money, Wang Qi can operate.
The location of Chenji Trading Company is in the east of the city.
It is the most prosperous area.
People come and go, and there are countless merchants, many doing business and buying goods.
As soon as Wang Qi arrived at Chenji Trading Company, he took out half of the tiger-shaped medallion in his hand. When the shopkeeper of Chenji Trading Company saw it, he immediately understood and quickly invited Wang Qi and his party to sit down in the living room in the backyard of the trading bank.
The shopkeeper of Chen Kee Trading Co., Ltd. is named Chen Xiping. He has been in charge of Chen Kee Trading Co., Ltd. for more than ten years.
In the early years, Chen Kee Trading Company was very ordinary. Because of Chen Xiping's operation, Chen Ji Trading Company has developed to its current level and has become a large merchant selling grain in Xiapi City.
?? Chen Ji Trading Company mainly deals in grain, supplemented by silk and satin cloth, and some precious medicinal materials.
The scale is very good.
Chen Xiping smiled and said proactively: "Uncle, before you came, I had received a letter from the head of the family, saying that once my uncle comes to our Chenji Commercial Bank to withdraw money, let me fully cooperate. Now that my uncle is here, how much will be withdrawn? Where¡¯s the money?¡±
He is the person arranged by Zhao Shao.
He followed Zhao Shao wholeheartedly.
Wang Qi and Zhao Yuyan were engaged, and Zhao Yuyan had already followed Wang Qi to Nanyang.
The marriage is a done deal.
That¡¯s why he called me uncle directly.
Wang Qi smiled slightly and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, I came to the trading company now. I said I wanted to withdraw money, but more importantly, I actually wanted to withdraw money to buy grain. I asked about it and found out that our trading company itself sells grain. "
"I don't care much about money or anything like that. What I need right now is a large amount of food. With sufficient food, Nanyang County can develop in the shortest time without being constrained."
Wang Qi asked: "How much food can today's trading houses gather?"
Chen Xiping thought about it carefully and said: "My aunt, regarding food. I, Chenji Trading Company, have always been a big hoarder of grain. My aunt needs food. I can raise about 200,000 shi of grain for my aunt here. It's only 200,000 shi." Ten thousand shi of grain is almost all the grain stored by the merchant bank. Is this much grain enough?"
Wang Qi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Two hundred thousand stones of food can alleviate the urgent need, and there will be no shortage of food in the short term. However, Nanyang County still needs more food today."
After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "In addition to rice and corn, soybeans, wheat and other grains are all acceptable. The grain I need is not necessarily the best."
Chen Xiping said: "If you want miscellaneous grains, there are some. You can raise another batch of grains. But even so, the grains are limited. Only by asking other businessmen for help can it be possible to raise more grains."
Wang Qi asked: "What kind of grain merchants are there in Xiapi City?"
Chen Xiping said: "In addition to Chenji Trading Company, there are two other major grain merchants in Xiapi County. The Zhong Family Grain Store and the Cao Family Grain Store. But they may not buy my uncle's account."
Wang Qi smiled slightly and said: "I have to give it a try, no matter what, just meet the person first. Shopkeeper Chen, please contact the shopkeepers of the Zhong family and Cao family,"??They came to the house to talk, and I personally talked to them about the food. "
Chen Xiping said: "No problem."
Wang Qi said: "Sorry, shopkeeper Chen."
Chen Xiping shook his head and said: "You are welcome, uncle. You are the master and I am the servant, so there is no trouble. Please wait a moment, uncle. I will inform the shopkeepers of the Zhong family and the Cao family now."
Wang Qi said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xiping got up and left.
In the hall, only Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng, Zhao Yuyan and Su Lie were left.
Wang Qi looked at Zhuge Feng and said in a deep voice: "Brother, how much food do you think we can get this time in addition to the food provided by Chenji Trading Company?"
Zhuge Feng made some calculations in his mind and said: "If you want them to give you food, you will definitely need to compromise your interests. In exchange for interests, I believe that at least 200,000 shi of food can be raised."
"On average, a family has one hundred thousand shi of food. When the world is in chaos, it is not that there is no food, but that a lot of food has been hoarded. What's more, there is no chaos in Xuzhou, and there is food."
Zhuge Feng said: "But to convince the Zhong family and Cao family, what are you going to do?"
Wang Qidao: "As mentioned just now, exchange of interests."
After a pause, Wang Qi said: "Su Lie, go and invite someone from the trading company. I have some things to ask."
"yes!"
Su Lie turned around and went to invite someone.
Not long after, the waiter from Chen Kee Trading Company entered, who was specially designed to assist Chen Xiping in handling matters.
Wang Qi looked at the waiter and directly asked for information about the Cao family and the Zhong family. Although the waiter doesn't know many secrets, at least he knows the general situation of the Zhong family and the Cao family in Xiapi County.
??According to the waiter in the store, the Cao family and the Zhong family have been businessmen for generations, and there is no official in the family.
In addition, some details were also mentioned.
Wang Qi felt confident after hearing the general situation of the two families. He asked the waiter to go down and wait quietly. About two-quarters of an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
Wang Qi looked up and saw Chen Xiping, leading two middle-aged men in. Both of them were in their early forties and dressed very appropriately.
"Cao Zhao, pay homage to the young Marquis."
The shopkeeper of the Cao family looked a little rich. He stood still and bowed.
"Zhongchao, pay homage to the young Marquis."
The shopkeeper of the Zhong family followed suit and saluted.
¡°Both of them had heard Chen Xiping talk about Wang Qi¡¯s general situation before. What businessmen pay most attention to is intelligence information. Both Cao Zhao and Zhong Chao knew Wang Qi.
So they both came.
Wang Qi waved his hand and said: "You two, please sit down!"
Chen Xiping, Cao Zhao and Zhong Chao all sat down and looked at Wang Qi, waiting for Wang Qi to speak.
Wang Qi smiled slightly and said: "The current situation is like this. I was ordered by the emperor to go out of Nanyang to serve as the magistrate of Nanyang County. But today's Nanyang County is in a mess. After being ravaged by bandits, there is no one left. The peace of the past."
"There is even a lack of food within the territory."
"I don't have any food in my hands, and it's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. So now I come to Xiapi County to beg for alms. I sincerely ask you two to support me."
Wang Qi did not go around in circles and went straight to the point, talking about food.
When Cao Zhao heard this, he didn't even think about it, and said loudly: "Little Marquis, if nothing else, I will crush the barbarians in your country and crush them until they can't lift their heads. My Cao family will provide 30,000 shi of grain to help you take control of Nanyang."
Zhong Chao echoed: "Everyone knows how capable the young marquis is. My Zhong family, like the Cao family, also gave us 30,000 shi of food to help you stay in Nanyang. What's more, the young marquis is resisting the bandits in Nanyang, so we should also help."
Both of them expressed their opinions directly.
¡°After all, Wang Qi is the young prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Wang Qi is capable, powerful, and has enough influence.
Help Wang Qi and they will not suffer. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
