Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 941
Ma Dong has not been to Yanjing Jockey Club for a while.He is Ma Zhi's clan brother!

Ma Zhi was forced to leave the officialdom of the Liao Kingdom at the beginning, and the inside story was complicated, but generally speaking, he had already broken with his family.If you have given up on others, how can you keep them from complaining?But among the many people in the Ma clan, there is always someone who has a good friendship with him, and has always maintained it. Ma Dong is such a lucky one.

Over the years, under Ma Zhi's support and care, Ma Dong made a fortune easily, and he also has a place in Yanjing City.

He went to Korea some time ago.

Ginseng is the best in Liaodong and Korea. Ma Dong, who is over half a hundred, has reached the time of health preservation, not to mention his big backer, Ma Zhi, who is currently the head of the Charity Federation. It is said that because of the frequent disasters in the northern and southern provinces this year , Ma Zhi traveled all over the country, devoted himself to his duties, and even fell ill from exhaustion.

So Ma Dong personally went to Korea to show his solemnity.He spent a lot of money to collect a few old ginseng, went to Ma Zhi's house with a lot of gifts, contacted each other's feelings, and then went back home.

It was a while later than when Lu Qian arrived in Yanfangdian.He has been away from Yanjing for several months, so he is naturally a little uncertain about the current situation of Yanjing City.As soon as he came here today, the lively scene at the Jockey Club almost frightened him: When did the Yanjing Jockey Club start to be so lively?

A large group of people who don't know each other, who often appear and who don't often appear, are all chatting, laughing, and talking nonsense here.The dignified waiters shuttled among them, carrying teacups, almost, and occasionally a jug of wine.

This is the rule of the Yanjing Jockey Club. When things are settled and a certain agreement is reached, a clean glass of wine is given before handing over and saying goodbye.Did Emperor Lu and Yeluchun have a big banquet after they settled the deal, but now they just have a drink in the horse club, and it's not too late to leave contentedly.

And more people are still sitting together, knocking sunflower seeds, drinking tea, and discussing something very patiently.

Ma Dong had an illusion in his heart that he must have missed something.

But Ma Dong is not afraid, he is also a famous person in Yanjing City, and Ma Zhi standing behind him is the first magistrate of Yanjing Mansion, and he even served as a left-behind, and has been making jokes in the land of Yanshan for more than ten years.He has a close relationship with many prominent figures in the Yanshan area, such as Liu Yanzong and Han Qixian.What's more, behind him is also backed by the Ma family.

Ma Zhi broke up with the Ma clan, but Ma Dong did not.But after entering the new dynasty, the development of the Ma family was obviously not very smooth, and they were left far behind by the Liu family and the Han family, but it was also a help to some extent.

Ma Dong has a backer behind him, a helper beside him, and he is a local snake, so he quickly found out what happened.

However, some tribes in the northern part of Serbia jointly issued a bond, which was endorsed by the Yanshan Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The initial amount was only 1000 million yuan, but in fact, the more the better.

And what is the purpose of these tribes issuing bonds to raise money?
Then don't hear about it.But just looking at the fact that the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China endorsed them, we can know that this custody is not for rebellion.

Ma Dong subconsciously felt that this matter could be done, and the annual interest rate of eight points was not low.Sitting on the ground and collecting money, making money safely and steadily, with the endorsement by ICBC, there is almost no possibility of breach of contract.At the moment when the way to make money is getting blocked day by day, this income is already enough.Most importantly, don't worry about it yourself.

The only thing he can't figure out is - what are the various ministries in northern Serbia planning to do with the money?
Don’t think about things you don’t understand for the time being!Ma Dong shook his head and walked to the Peony Hall by familiar routes.

There are also levels in the Jockey Club, and the Peony Hall is the highest level. Those who can have a place here, the entire Yanjing Jockey Club will not exceed a hundred people.

Met with some acquaintances and greeted each other, the chairs were not warm, and then a deputy secretary-general of the Jockey Club came to him and called him out to talk.

The other party is also an old acquaintance, Liu Yanzong's younger brother, who has not gone into official career, has been in the water transportation business all year round, and earlier opened up business to northern Hebei. It can be said to be of great help.

At that time, a bond of 10 yuan was not a small amount, and the Liu family raised 50 yuan, and Ma Dong himself secured 20 yuan, which meant that Ma Dong had to take almost all the cash on hand. From the perspective of business investment, it is very unwise to lend it to others.But Ma Dong did it anyway, just because he was Liu Yanzong's younger brother.

"Servant army, do you mean that the imperial court is going to fight?"

The spirit was shaken, Liu Jingzong had inside information, and he didn't need to hammer the drum, and Ma Dong was immediately aware of the business opportunity with a single reminder.

Not the profits of those bonds, but the profits of the merchants accompanying the army.

What is a military merchant?For the Central Plains Dynasty dialect, this is a very new term.If you want to say that you are a military supplier, many people understand this, but the military merchant is a bird?
In fact, this is a term coined by Lu Qian, and the initial military merchants also evolved from military merchants.

The so-called munitions dealers are not just merchants who specialize in supplying the army, there are also a group of people who specialize in handling spoils for the army.They are the predecessors of the military merchants.Lu Qian specially approved a group of people to do this, initially targeting the Eight Banners soldiers.But later, when fighting in the river, with the appearance of the servant army, the merchants who accompanied the army were out of control.

The discipline and quality of those servants were far inferior to those of the Eight Banners soldiers, and even worse than that of Lu Qi's regular army.Wherever they went, they had the style of "snatching food, money, and women".

It won't take long for an army of servants to be dragged down by these worthless spoils of war.

If so, a group of people will be needed to wipe their butts.This is the fundamental origin of the military merchants, so that even now, even Lu Qi's regular soldiers and horses have begun to have the shadows of military merchants.

It's just different from the "trophies" of the servant army. The spoils that the regular Qi army wants to sell will not be plundered by them, but more of their property after the spoils are divided.

There are quite a few prodigal sons in the army who only want today but not tomorrow. If they have wine today, they will be drunk today, and they will worry about tomorrow.Po Hanwu, who was a prosperous under Yue Fei, was such a character when he was young.

After Lu Qian heard the name Po Han Wu, he sent someone to check on his wife.Is this Han Shizhong?As a result, Han Liang's marriage is strong, and Han Shizhong's wife is indeed Liang Hongyu.

The latter's father and grandfather were both Zhao Song military officers. They participated in the battle against Wang Qing and the Manichaeism. As a result, two of them went there and half of them came back.Her father didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and her grandfather had a broken arm, but he managed to survive and met Han Shizhong when the great artist separated from Zhao Huan and was about to enter Sichuan.Liang Hongyu's grandfather took a fancy to Han Shizhong's martial arts, not to mention that Han Shizhong had already made his mark at that time, and was selected in the sequence of entering Sichuan with great artists, so he betrothed his granddaughter to him without even thinking about it.

Skip this matter, and talk about the military merchant.

The profits of the latter are very large. Those who are begging for life on the edge of a knife can sell items with tens of silver dollars for three to five yuan with a quick brain.The profit is definitely far more than normal business, and it can also have a relationship with the army.

However, the risk is also great.

Not to mention the tens of millions or tens of millions of preparation funds, but the entire transportation and transshipment organization process is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not to mention the risk of life in the war, it's not about worrying about the defeat of Lu Qi's army.The latter may really lose the battle one day, but now that Emperor Hongwu is in power, no matter how you look at it, the Qi army is always victorious and undefeated.However, the army travels through mountains and rivers, and the distance is long, and the medical and sanitary conditions are poor. The employees, even the shareholders, did not die under the knife of the enemy, but will be killed by the harsh environment...

This business is too big, and one family can rarely afford it, and most of them are joint ventures.

"What do you think, brother? Are you willing to get involved?"

Ma Dong's face was both excited and puzzled, "How can it be your turn for such a good thing?"

As far as he knew, this matter had always been monopolized by certain people.

"Guo Xianggong [Guo Yong] became Minister of the Ministry of War, so naturally the rules have to be changed. My brother heard that it was the battle of Tianzhu, and the profit was too great, and the inside of the Ministry of War is also jealous..."

In a word, profit distribution cannot satisfy all parties.If the Ministry of War has started a moth, they are in charge of this matter, so they can naturally make it happen.

"Guo Xianggong is so brave!" Ma Dong praised immediately.

"That's right, Guo Xianggong's roots are also very deep."
