- At about the same time, Zhao Hao, led by Ji Sizheng, came to a storage yard on the east bank of Marco Polo Bridge.
There is a simple adobe wall outside the yard. When you enter the gate, you will see piles of coal inside.
"Where did this place come from?" Zhao Hao stood at the door and looked at the rectangular yard that was two hundred feet long from east to west and one hundred feet wide from north to south.
"This was originally a warehouse for the royal family. Marco Polo Bridge was where goods from the north and south gathered. Our predecessors built such an open-air storage yard for the imperial stores to temporarily store goods purchased and shipped."
"During the Zhengtong years, the Tatars began to come to Beijing to pay tribute, but Long Live Lord was unwilling to let them enter Beijing, so he ordered them to be resettled outside Beijing. Moreover, they brought thousands of livestock and hundreds of carts of furs with them each time, so they needed a spacious place. Finally, So I gave this place to them." Then Ji Sizheng introduced: "But starting from the late emperor, the Tatars were no longer allowed to pay tribute. This place was idle for twenty years. It was not until His Highness took charge of the matter that the Tatars were allowed to pay tribute. He wants it back from Honglu Temple."
"But the Imperial Store already has another storage yard, and it would be too troublesome to move it back. Your Highness will use it for businessmen, and you can earn a few thousand taels a year in rent."
"That's for sure." Zhao Haoshen nodded in agreement. Marco Polo Bridge is the only way for the capital to enter and exit the hinterland of the Central Plains. Although there are not so many people on the street because of the Chinese New Year, you can imagine how busy this place is on weekdays when you look at the rows of storefronts along the Yongding River and the large trestles that stretch for miles.
He couldn¡¯t help complaining secretly in his heart. Sure enough, if it wasn¡¯t his own, he wouldn¡¯t know how to plan carefully. If a private person owns such a large warehouse of 180,000 square meters, he will definitely build warehouses like Bailuzhou.
In that case, the warehouse fee alone would be several times higher than it is now.
But the place chosen by Jiji is indeed perfect.
If it is too close to the capital, so many refugees will gather, and the government will be nervous; if it is too far away, it will be remote and inconvenient in every way. Placing it on Marco Polo Bridge perfectly solved these two problems.
¡° Moreover, the Yongding River is connected to the city moat through the Jinkou River, and the prepared coal lotus root can be directly reached at various gates in the capital by waterway, so transportation is also very convenient.
¡°I don¡¯t have to say what you think, let¡¯s just settle here!¡± Putting away the regret in his heart, Zhao Hao made a decision on the spot.
"Okay. This is my own place. Don't worry about the procedures. Today this place belongs to the master." Ji Sizheng said, and then asked for credit:
"When the young master said it, our family thought of this place. When people asked, there are still more than 30 million kilograms of coal stored here. If the young master is interested, our family will make it cheaper for them."
"It doesn't have to be cheap." Zhao Hao smiled lightly and said, "Bulk coal in Beijing is 100 cents per 100 kilograms, so just charge it at this price."
After a pause, he smiled meaningfully at Ji Sizheng and said, "My lord, I will help you to the end. From now on, I will leave all the coal collection to you, and it will all be at this price."
Thirty million kilograms sounds like a lot, but when converted into subsequent weight units, it is just fifteen thousand tons of coal. It¡¯s not even enough to keep 20,000 households through the winter¡
"Oh?" Ji Sizheng's heart suddenly trembled. He knew that a person like Zhao Hao would not miss his benefits.
But I didn¡¯t expect Zhao Hao to be so generous
Since His Highness wants to invest in the coal business, Ji Sizheng, as a competent foreign affairs manager, naturally has to do enough homework to prepare for advice.
After these days of hard work, he knew that the wholesale price of bulk coal in Zhaitang was seventy or eighty cents per hundred catties. When it was shipped to the capital and sold, it could rise to one hundred cents.
Although Marco Polo Bridge is less than twenty miles away from the capital, it is on the Yongding River and can be flowed directly down the river from Zhaitang. Therefore, the maximum of one hundred kilograms of loose coal is only ninety cents.
However, Zhao Hao gave him a bill of one hundred cents. The difference of ten cents was naturally a benefit to Ji Sizheng.
Although ten cents is not much, thirty million kilograms is equivalent to three hundred thousand ten cents, which is a full three thousand taels of silver!
The eldest princess is too shrewd. Ji Sizheng has been working very hard for a year, which is to make ten thousand taels of silver. This suddenly exceeded his income for a season
Even if Zhao Hao stops buying coal in the future, this money will be a windfall for Ji Sizheng.
"Sir, this is too much" After all, he is a mature and prudent person, and he is a little worried about whether Zhao Hao is a second-rate person like the young prince.
"It doesn't matter, there will be more places to rely on adults in the future." Zhao Hao smiled nonchalantly, and then said seriously:
"My only request is that no matter how much coal is needed in the future, you must deliver it on time and in good quality and quantity. Otherwise, in order to avoid delaying the construction period, I will have to find other ways."
"Don't worry, young master!" Ji Sizheng patted his chest and said, "If I miss the young master's business, I will eat it"Spit out everything that was gone. "
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Then he reported back to Qiong Ju and said: "There is also a large truck that the young master is transporting coal to the capital. I will also cover it all for you. Just treat it as an opening gift for the young master!"
"The large carts are simple to make and very cheap. Even a thousand of them are not worth a thousand taels."
"But the amount Zhao Hao needs is really too big, and he can't buy so much even if he has money. Even if you find a carpenter to do it right away, you won't be able to do it within a month.
Only a manager like Ji Sizheng, who has countless Huangzhuanghuang stores under his command, can assemble a thousand cars for him in a few days.
"That really solves my urgent need." Zhao Hao was overjoyed when he heard this: "I really rely on you a lot."
"Young Master is serious, I wish I could help." Ji Sizheng also smiled.
Both of them feel that their friendship with each other has taken a big step forward.
??~~
The two of them walked around the yard, and Ji Sizheng said again: "By the way, considering that the young master is short of manpower, His Highness asked us to select a hundred loyal and steady slaves from the store to give to the young master."
One hundred slaves
To the young master
To the young master
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? son.
Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this. Isn¡¯t your mother too proud? Even people are sent in hundreds and hundreds
Although he cannot accept human trafficking, how should it be calculated if someone gives it away?
¡°The store won¡¯t be short of manpower, right?¡±
"Our family is not lying to anyone on New Year's Day. The store is really overcrowded. I wish someone could help share the burden." Ji Sizheng tightened Diao Qiu's collar and said with a smile, "But don't worry, young master, everyone is mine." I have carefully selected capable men, none of them fool around."
¡®That¡¯s all, let¡¯s keep it for now, we can¡¯t let down my mother¡¯s wishes¡¯ A certain filial son thought without any principles, then showed a grateful smile and said: ¡°I am really lucky to be able to make friends with you.¡±
"It's an honor for our family." Ji Si smiled humbly, and then ordered the attendant to call for someone.
After a while, about a hundred men wearing azure silk cotton-padded jackets and various winter hats filed into the yard.
As soon as they saw Ji Sizheng, they hurried forward and spoke New Year greetings from a distance.
"Look, this is our Highness's precious godson, your new master, Mr. Zhao!" Ji Sizheng shouted at those people with a straight face.
Hearing this, a hundred people all knelt down in front of Zhao Hao and shouted together:
"The little man pays homage to his master and asks him to give him a lesson!"
¡°As expected of a servant of the royal family, he was so impressive he almost burst Mr. Zhao¡¯s eardrums.
¡°From now on, I¡¯ll call you Young Master.¡± Zhao Hao endured the buzzing in his ears and corrected their title.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡¯????????????¡You rude men, are she worthy of calling me ¡®master¡¯? too disgusting¡¡
"Yes, Young Master!" A hundred people said in unison.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Master!"
After those servants got up, Ji Sizheng lectured them again, saying that being able to join the young master's house was a blessing obtained in the previous life; if anyone does not cherish it, don't blame yourself for being rude.
Although the slaves only regarded this as a clich¨¦, they still showed their honor and happiness appropriately.
Then Zhao Hao announced three temporary disciplines to them - no abuse of workers, no deduction of wages, no cheating!
Whoever dares to violate one rule will be immediately returned to Ji Sizheng.
Ji Sizheng also nodded cooperatively beside him and said with a sinister expression: "Young master, if you return one, we will kill one of you! If you return one pair, we will kill the other pair! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" A chill ran down the spines of the slaves. Ji Si was known to be cruel and evil.
He said whoever he wanted to kill would not live long
Ji Sizheng will neither tell Zhao Hao nor tell them. In fact, the eldest princess¡¯s move is to vacate the cage and change the bird to prepare for a new start in the future.
How can we allow these young and powerful guys to become decadent casually?
