Chapter 268: Holy Drive
The trading dates of Heishuigou are becoming more and more frequent. In the past, the four days of the third day of the lunar month, the ninth day of the lunar month, the seventeenth day of the lunar month. Now, due to the large number of transactions, not only the demands of mountain villagers are increasing, but even those merchants no longer meet the four-day trading days.
Therefore, the transaction time was changed to a single day. Every time the first day of the lunar month, the third day of the lunar month, the fifth day of the lunar month, and the seventh day of the lunar month, Wu Xiong would bring the Hao family's caravan over.
The content of the transaction has also undergone a lot of changes. The Hao family not only needs wood, but also a large amount of fur, and began to recruit cobblers in large quantities. The Hao family sold to the mountain people mostly iron and salt. The merchants bought iron and wooden tools from the Hao family. They had already handed over a batch of goods. Some merchants had ordered people to go to Guilin quickly and took some samples to some local big merchants in Guilin. These big merchants immediately saw the business opportunity and ordered people to come quickly.
Therefore, it is particularly lively here. Everyone knows that the Hao family's iron and mahogany furniture is not only cheap, but also has excellent texture. It won't take long to buy goods and sell them at a price of twice, triple or even five times.
The price of a mahogany chair is only 700 cents, but as long as it can be shipped to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will be at least 5 taels of silver.
Such huge profits are unprecedented. In the past, many merchants just came here to exchange some mountain goods with mountain villagers for cloth to earn the difference. But now, no one is interested in doing such a business. People will always find ways to make greater profits.
Many merchants from Luzhou and other places, and some of the Annan, which is still in chaos, have taken risks and come here.
After everyone arrived, they were no longer as lazy as before, but were all cheering up and lined up. When Wu Xiong arrived, they unloaded the previously booked goods and then asked a group of merchants to trade with the previous orders. On the other hand, the bookkeeper prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone, waiting for the merchants to order the goods.
The transactions are very lively, and the ordering side is even more lively. Facing such huge profits, who can not be moved?
Wu Xiong's status began to be consolidated. He used to be the one named Liu. Although the merchants respected him quite well, Wu Xiong knew in his heart that these merchants were just polite on the surface, and most of them were just afraid of the Liu family and did not dare to provoke the Liu family. But now, this enthusiasm is sincere. Because the Hao family not only made profits from the mountain villagers, but also gave them the opportunity to make money.
Almost as soon as Wu Xiong arrived, many people came to make contact, hoping to book a batch of goods in advance, but Wu Xiong did not dare to act rashly, not because he had good character. He wanted to be honest, but because he was a smart man. He had already seen Lord Hao's strength in person. Lang San County Magistrate respected Lord Hao, and was able to be brothers with the prince. He also had a sharp fire gun team under his command, and the prince of the Marquis of Luzhou. It is said that he was still a clerk of the Jinyiwei. Wu Xiong clearly realized that this person's strength was ten times stronger than Liu Jian. Once the court stabilized Annan in the future, Lord Hao would become the most powerful person here.
Such a person, he will follow him to do things. Of course, he will have a bright future. Instead of taking advantage of this little profit, he will finally be noticed by Lord Hao, and then he will settle the old and new accounts together. He will fall into Liu Jian's fate. It is better to do things for Lord Hao steadily, so that Lord Hao will realize that he is his indispensable right-hand man and will have a bright future in the future. Even his family can benefit from it.
In the past, he followed Liu Jian, no matter how he was, he was just a pariah, because Wu Xiong's father fled here from Guangxi, and now, he is already chatting and laughing with many "high-profile figures".
It was lively here, but on the other side of the official road, there were teams of knights roaring by in a car.
This place is not far from the official road. After all, this is a market and it is necessary to traffic in goods, so it is more convenient to be close to the official road. When everyone saw these strange people heading towards the Marquis' Mansion, Wu Xiong was suspicious. He bowed to a merchant who was talking to him: "Brother, Mr. Wu has something to do, so I will say goodbye first."
Wu Xiong felt something was strange. Anyway, the matter in the market was on the right track. He left for a while and was fine, so he rode his horse and headed towards the Marquis' Mansion.
Wu Xiong whipped his horse quickly. When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he found that there was already a siege here. Several familiar people knelt at the gate obediently, and countless guards stood at the post and whistled every step, and everyone was like a javelin.
The entire Marquis' Mansion has changed from the bustle of the past and has become quiet.
Wu Xiong's heart skipped a beat. Could something be wrong?
He suddenly realized that he was in a bad mood, and suddenly had a better future, and became a more amazing person, but looking at this, it seemed as if someone was coming to capture Lord Hao.
He had to bite the bullet and go forward, and was soon stopped by a guard. Someone shouted in the official language of Northern Zhili: "Who is this? You must not get close to it, so retreat quickly."
Wu Xiong hurriedly said, "The villain... The villain is from the Hou's Mansion, and is here to reply to Lord Hao."
The guard's attitude was a little gentler, and then said, "The Lord is here, don't be disturbed. You retreat aside. If you have anything to do, ask for a meeting later. Otherwise, if you disturb the Lord, you will not be able to afford to be guilty. Since you are Lord Hao's person, you can't say anything."
Wu Xiong was stunned... The Holy Lord...
Lang Son is an extremely small place. Not to mention the magistrate, even the magistrate, not everyone can see it. As for the magistrate, there are also the magistrate and the magistrate, Wu Xiong didn't know, but what the magistrate was, he knew that the emperor, the Emperor, the Emperor of Ming, had actually come to this place and even went to the marquis's mansion. Looking at the attitude of the guard, it seemed that the emperor and Hao Fenglou had a good relationship.
Who is this Lord Hao?
Wu Xiong almost felt weak and he was about to kneel down.
When he followed Liu Jian, he realized that he was a character, but now, he suddenly realized that he was really inferior to him. This Lord Hao was the real person.
He didn't dare to talk too much. Even if he was sharp-tongued, he didn't dare to act rashly now. He stood beside and waited obediently, not daring to speak out, and his heart was already in turmoil.

After Zhu Di arrived, he did not ask someone to spread the news. When countless people fell to the ground, he just suppressed his hands and smiled at them, saying, "Where is King Zhao and Hao Fenglou? I will lead me to see. There is no need to be too polite or inform me."
Everyone did not dare to report it, and someone led Zhu Di, who was in a happy mood, to a hall.
In the hall, Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui were sitting, with several foremans at the bottom. Hao Fenglou was having tea while instructing: "Don't rush to continue recruiting workers and apprentices. Take this group of workers and apprentices first and then talk about it. Although it is in short supply now, so many orders cannot be completed even after several months of production. However, quality is the key. It is better to be slower and bring out these people first and then recruit more people. Otherwise, if you lose your reputation, you will lose more. In addition, Wu Xiong's side advocates that we weave textiles, saying that the mountain people are now logging and selling fur goods. With some extra money and money, they want to pull a few pieces of cloth for women. There are also many benefits. Annan has cotton, but many people weave their own cloth. The style of this cloth is not only bad, but also wastes manpower. Just talk about mountain people, those mountain people are all
Women weave cloth, men hunt or farm, but now it is different. Because they have to log wood, men are busy from morning to dark, and many tasks fall on the shoulders of women. They not only need to wash clothes and cook, but also to deliver food to men, and even raise some chickens and ducks. They take children. Where can we have time to weave cloth? If we can weave and produce cloth, and the mountain people have some extra money, they will definitely be sold out. Therefore, you have to draw some people from the carpenter's workshop and try to make a loom first. Annan's weaving skills are also good. As for the looms of the Ming Dynasty, they can still be paid, but we cannot pay attention. At that time, I will send looms from all over the world and even from all countries. You are specifically asking some people to study and improve. We don't have to hurry to weave cloth, and sharpen the knife and chop wood."
After saying that, Hao Fenglou continued: "Now, there are more and more merchants lingering in Lang Son. Of course, everyone knows that they are here for our farm tools, tools and mahogany furniture. In the future, there will only be more and more people. According to my expectations, at that time, merchants of all sizes and big areas in Lang Son will not be placed in hundreds. So many people will definitely bring their friends. Not only do they need a friend, but they also have to escort goods and have an account to settle the accounts. These people are afraid that there will be no less than 10,000 people. So many people are in the market. They always have to eat and drink and stay. So
But you stonemasons have to cheer up. I plan to repair the market and build hundreds of stone houses. These houses are not only used to go to the warehouse, but also to be used to inns, wine shops, and tea shops. Therefore, the market needs to be expanded and planned well. At that time, these houses can be rented and sold. The bottom line is to attract others to do business. This matter will be left to Yang Xi. Yang Xi, you have worked as a foreman in the construction bureau before. You have to hurry up. How many craftsmen and apprentices and how much money you need will be reported to yourself."
