Chapter 261 The private goods of the servants
Li He was in a state of a little furious. Zhu Da couldn't help laughing out loud, and punched the other party's chest with his fist and said, "I know that these silver is big money, and I also know that we have made a lot of money. I suddenly felt that it was fake. I took out the money casually, but they felt that there was a lot of money from heaven."
Of course, Zhu Da would not tell Li He that the in and out of hundreds or thousands of taels of silver did not make him feel real, and the entanglements in his mind could not be explained in detail to others. However, Li He had accepted the words he had just said, "How come you didn't know that when you were in Baibao Village, you did business smarter than anyone else."
Li He didn't delay here for too long. He thought Zhu Da was joking with him, so he said hello and went back to work hard. Seeing that the sky was covered with clouds, he thought it would snow again tonight, Li and Chang Shen were urging everyone to get busy and deliver the goods to the warehouse to pile them up. He had to lay a layer of hay on the ground. This is the experience learned during the day.
Even if you are busy, everyone is full of energy. For refugees and servants, the inspection during the day made them feel the awe of others. This treatment made them feel their dignity and made them feel that the hard training these days were not in vain.
Those who know the details of the business, such as the Chang brothers and Li He, Fu Yu and Meng Tian, were shocked and excited. Although Zhu Da did not make much money in today's transaction, he instead spent more than 500 taels of silver, they all knew that Zhu Da made a big profit, and it can be said that he could make nearly 3,000 taels of silver without any capital. This was simply a stone to turn into gold. Thinking about the excitement and ecstasy between the buyer and the seller, it would be even more incredible.
The Chang brothers were quite surprised. Chang Kai whispered to his brother: "It's not wrong to follow this young master. Look at the ability to make money. We just can't learn anything. As long as we work hard, this young master doesn't seem to treat people badly."
"...I can't understand this business. I have to think about it carefully. How old is he? It's rare that my mother can bring so many skills in her belly?" Fu Yu frowned and thoughtful, and couldn't help but murmur a few words to Meng Tian beside him.
On the other side, Li He glanced at the few people who were talking in a low voice with disdain, muttering, "You haven't seen the business in Baibao Village, that's what makes you think..."
............
After a busy day, there was such a result. Supper must be celebrated. The Li family caravan also came to make a comeback before leaving. They spent money to buy sheep in the farm. After killing, they cooked it, and took out the good wine they carried and specially invited Zhu Da and his group to a banquet. The twists and turns around were mainly to show their attentiveness and innovation.
Zhu Da naturally would not have let go of such excitement. Everyone had to rest for a busy day. He first arranged for extra meals to the servants and refugees, and then brought the Chang brothers and Li He to the banquet.
Only Li Zhuang and the old manager Li Fu came from the Li family caravan. After experiencing these days, they had already set their positions in the right place. Zhu Da had no airs and smiled and asked everyone to join the table. Before the banquet, Zhu Da said to Chang Kai: "Brother Chang, you will go back to the city tomorrow morning. He told the people who have money to buy New Year's goods in the county that I have the best New Year's goods here, and there are fruits and spices in southern goods. If you want to buy them, come here to buy them."
"There are these business in the city. These damn Tartars are making trouble. Those who sell New Year's goods on weekdays dare not come. The magistrate and the Zhou family and Liu family all asked someone to go to Datong City to take it..." Chang Kai subconsciously muttered a few words, but when he was halfway through his words, he was stunned. He glanced at Li Zhu and Li Fu, and then stared at Zhu Da and exclaimed: "Brother Zhu, these goods cannot be sent by the Li family, you really know how to do business, you are the God of Wealth!"
Li Zhuang and the old manager around him also came back to the scene, and looked at each other again. When he looked at Zhu Da, he was full of admiration. After Li Zhuang poured his wine bowl, he stood up to respect him and said in admiration: "There is no more than turning stones into gold. There is a large amount of silver born between the coming and going. It really makes me admire you. It's ridiculous that Li also thinks that he can do business. He is so far inferior to Brother Zhu. I am so ashamed and admire you."
"Don't talk about our boss. I have been in business for decades, but I have never seen Mr. Zhu as capable as Master Zhu. When I went to Fenzhou, I heard people say that the sellers had the God of Wealth and could make a fortune in any business they did. At that time, I thought it was ****, but I didn't expect to see the God of Wealth today."
"It's not that mysterious. I understand supply and demand, know as much information as possible, and have enough capital, and dare to make up my mind. Anyone can do such a business, let alone not making any profit yet. If there is any risk, wouldn't it be all lost?" Zhu Da replied with a smile, he had nothing to hide.
He spoke casually, but the few people on the table listened very seriously and wanted to remember every word of Zhu Da in his heart.
Li Zhuang was particularly excited at the banquet. No matter how you look at the business, you will make money, and you will make a lot of money. He had such outstanding results as soon as he took over the caravan. Yu Li's family and Yu Ji were very good. How could he be unhappy? He toasted and drank it happily. Not long after, he talked too much: "Please rest assured Brother Zhu. I don't know how many people are coming if the news spreads. At that time, I'm afraid that there will be not so many goods to sell in Huairen County."
"After the news spread, I don't know how many people would come to sell the goods." Zhu Da replied with a smile.
The night was over and over, and Zhu Da slept very peacefully that night. However, when he woke up the next day, the little snowflakes falling in the sky made him feel a lot worse. Seeing the thickness of the snow, Zhu Da stomped a few feet and subconsciously looked at the sky in the north. There was still an empty sky and mountains there, and there was no smoke column.
When they woke up in the morning, two groups of people said goodbye, and the Li family caravan was about to set off. Before leaving, they asked for a few pieces of cotton, wood, medicinal materials and fur. They asked for a few pieces of each one to leave. Without explanation, they knew that this was used as samples. When Chang Kai left, he just came over to say hello, but was stopped by Zhu Da and repeatedly told him to go to the city to urge the progress of repairing the house and storing the materials.
More than an hour after Chang Kai left Tianzhuang, the city's convoy arrived. The team was still led by Jin Guannian and Lin Bantuo. It can be seen that they did not sleep well last night, but they were both excited. What was unexpected was that the scale of the convoy was larger than yesterday, which surprised Zhu Da, thinking that there were so many stolen goods in the city?
However, Zhu Da soon noticed another thing. There were not so many young policemen among the people who were escorted this time. Some of them were very gloomy and fat. These were not unfamiliar with them. They were all housekeepers and managers of wealthy people in the city, or there were decent leaders in the yamen. The expressions on their faces were intertwined with ease and excitement.
"Master Zhu, I worked hard all day yesterday, and I also knew that your farm would send a lot of things every day. Today we will do it for you. What else is there? Tomorrow we will make up for it from the county warehousing. The official family should also pay for the job that resettled the victims. These two cars are the property of everyone. Take it out for some money and spend it. Thank you, Mr. Zhu, to check it out." Jin Guannian said with a smile.
It turned out that only two cars were stolen goods, probably the private goods in the hands of the three and six houses in the city. This is normal. As for those cars of supplies, they were nothing more than to be generous to others. They used the wealth of the yamen to please themselves. Although Zhu Da was very disgusted with Jin Guannian's character, the other party was diligently pleased him and his family made money in business, so it was not very noble. Zhu Da also responded with a smile, which made Jin Guannian flattered.
These two cars of stolen goods are more valuable than the ones shipped yesterday. One car is full of silk, about 200 pieces, while the other car is iron and bronze, but pots, pans, plates, wine pots, etc.
Most of the utensils in yesterday were made of wooden tools. Although these were sold on the grasslands, the total price was too low. The buyers were ordinary herders. Although the profits had increased a lot, the price was there. If the people along the way were to make money, they would not make much money, but these copper and iron tools were different. These buyers were all nobles and leaders on the grasslands. They could afford the price, and the profits were several or tens of times. However, the profits and profits were different. Copper and iron tools could make dozens or even hundreds of times that of wooden tools, while the money consumed was similar.
Needless to say, silk is not a question, but this batch of silk is of various types and specifications. With Zhu Da’s eyesight, you can tell that some are from Luzhou, Shanxi, some are from Henan, and some are from Jiangnan. It is very profitable when sold on the grassland, but the types are different, and there are also more and less profits.
Of course, the officials and servants of Zhu Da, Li Zhuang, and Huairen did not expect huge profits to be sold on the grassland. The officials and servants were hoping for exchange for cash, and Zhu Da was hoping for 30% to 60% of the profits. The Li family caravan made a little lower than what Zhu Da made, but they were all happy and all had money to earn.
After Zhu Da arranged for Li He to count the goods, he directly quoted a price, which was 790 taels in total, and paid in cash. The total price of this batch of goods was about 1,300 taels. Because it was the personal goods of the officials and servants themselves, it had to pay more than 50%. After the price of 790 taels was reported, Lin Bantou and the people in the yamen who came with him were all smiling.
"Mr. Zhu's farm consumes a lot of money every day. There are many inconveniences in purchasing from Lao Chang. It is better to hand it over to the county for handling. The amount is definitely sufficient. If you can pay in cash, the price will be easy." A fat-headed and big-eared official said with a patted his chest.
For Huairen's officials, they did not lack supplies, but what they lacked was cash. These stolen goods were also unusable in their hands. They used silk to make clothes and quilts and bronzes and irons to do some business. What should be consumed had been consumed long ago. These were all stored for dust, so they were used for silver.
