Lord of the House
Vol 8 Chapter 65: road money
(Second, ask for a red ticket)
Returning to the twenty-mile road, it was easy to take a carriage. Fan Ding took Su Mei's body deed and returned to the estuary. After an hour of delay, Su Mei received the news first and had been waiting in the cottage for a long time.
"Su Mei kowtows to the lord and the old man..."
No matter what purpose is hidden behind it, Yuan Guizheng can today allow Fan Ding to bring his body deed and allow himself to leave the country. Su Mei knelt down and gave great gifts to Yuan Guizheng and Fan Ding.
Yuan Guizheng laughed and said, "When will Miss Su Mei invite us to eat the wedding wine that you and Lin Zhizhi gave? The Cypress Garden in Dustpan Alley and the Little Cypress Garden here will serve as the dowry that I and Mr. Fan gave you."
Fan Ding is also prepared to take the land deeds and house deeds of Baiyuan and Xiaobaiyuan, put them together with the deeds, and hand them to Su Mei; from now on, even if Su Mei is detached, it has nothing to do with Fanlou!
Su Mei took over her body deed, stood up, blushed, and said, "Master Hou is making fun of Su Mei."
Yuan Guizheng only thought Su Mei was shy. Seeing that she had also taken over the land deeds of Baiyuan and Xiaobai, what to do next is a matter between her and Lin Fu, and she did not ask any further questions.
Besides, if Lin Fu wanted to marry Su Mei as his concubine, he could only do so secretly. Lin Fu's main family, the Gu family, is the daughter of Gu Wuchen. The Gu family is now a prominent family in Jiangning City. The son-in-law married a singer in Jiangning City, and the Gu family's face is always dull.
Su Mei has left her membership and is no longer a singer, so she must abide by the rules of a good family girl. There are still things to talk about here, so she said goodbye and went back to Xiaobaiyuan. The mother-in-law, maids, and nursing homes of the Fan family will all be evacuated today, and there are still many things to do.
Lin Fu didn't fail to express Yuan Guizheng's generosity. He picked up the tea cup, sipped it slightly, and said, "The two families were a little unhappy in the past, but they have disappeared today. Fanlou is a well-known firm in Jiangning, and its business is also good. If it is big, I will also invite the veterans of the vassal to do business in Chongzhou, so as to add some money to Chongzhou..."
"How dare you refuse to follow the invitation of the envoy of the system?" Fan Ding said with a smile.
Previously, due to the death of Tang Haoxin, Lin Fu held a grudge against the Liang family, and blocked the merchant ships of Yongchang Houfu and the vassal family, even the ships of Yudong Palace, and their access to the river mouth was also greatly restricted.
The price of rice in Jiangdong is six cents a pound, and in Gyeonggi it is almost ten times that. Although the Gyeonggi Mi City was under the control of Zhang Xie and the household officials, no matter what, Yongchang Houfu, the Liang family and the Empress Dowager Liang had to step in, and Zhang Xie had to share some meat.
Even if Zhang Xie allowed the Fanlou representatives to step in in the Gyeonggi Mi City, he would still have to transport rice north to make a profit. Transport rice north.
Yudong Palace Village was also restricted by Lin Fu, so they could only transport silver to the north, but could not transport rice to the north, so they had all kinds of hardships that they couldn't tell. This time, I took out 120,000 taels of silver to make a contract with Su Mei, even if I bought a road from Huaidong, it would be worth it.
Of course, just buying access is not enough.
Among the merchants in Jiangning, the vassal's fleet can be counted on one's fingers, but compared with the Heishuiyang Shipbuilding Society formed by the Lin family and the Jinhai merchants, which has a shipping capacity of nearly 200,000 stone, the vassal family is too large. Not enough to see.
Counting the hundreds of stone ships that took the Huaikou and Jiaolai Rivers, the total capacity of the Fan family's fleet was about 10,000 stone. Although the far-sea grain ships of Heishuiyang Shipping Society go to sea from Chongzhou and sail directly to Jinhai, they are fast and efficient, and can go back and forth five or six times a year. Long, can go back and forth two times a year, it is already the limit.
With so much effort, of course, the Yongchang Houfu is not just to transport an extra 20,000 stone grains of rice into Beijing for sale every year.
Fan Ding squinted his eyes and said: "Fanlou has a lot of rice and grain to come down every year, but there is too much shortage in Gyeonggi. Without a big ship, the two sides can't help each other. The little old man wants to have a discussion with the governor, Jiangdong. The excess rice grain here, Fanlou can sell it to Huaidong at a discount, but we need to make some extra rice grain in Jinhai to supply us, and we can settle the settlement at a higher price than the official price..."
"I don't know how much rice and grain the Fanlou can keep in Jiangdong every year?" Lin Fu asked calmly, not looking at Yuan Guizheng's expression.
"Is it true that the envoy does not know?" Fan Ding asked.
"Oh," Lin Fu patted his forehead and suddenly realized, "Fan always talks about the rice grain left over from the Yudong Palace Festival?"
Fan Ding nodded, Yudong Palace Village was separated from Chongzhou by a river, and it was impossible to hide from Lin Fu's eyes. If Lin Fuzhen had been fooled, he would not have blocked Yudong Palace's way out so carefully before.
Yudong Gongzhuang is the private property of Empress Dowager Liang, and the money and grain income, also known as Gongzhuang grain silver, is privately drawn by Empress Dowager Liang.
In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of Emperor Chongguan, the amount of particle silver publicly released every year is very limited.
Yudong Palace is separated from Chongzhou by a river. How could Lin Fu not know the situation of Yudong Palace in the past two years?
There are more than 12,000 households in the palace villages in Yudong, and they have actually cultivated more than 4,000 hectares of grain and cotton fields. According to regulations, the surplus grain of Yudong Gongzhuang must be purchased by the official warehouse of Pingjiang Prefecture, and there are more than 80,000 stone japonica rice every year. After deducting the daily expenses of Gongzhuang, almost 20,000 taels of silver particles go north every year and are sent to Empress Dowager Liang's Longevity Palace for use.
The additional rice grains digested by Yudong Gongzhuang from the Pingjiang Prefecture grain merchants through the Fanlou each year is more than 300,000 stone. The large-scale planting of mulberry and cotton in Pingjiang Prefecture has led to the reduction of grain fields. The grain production of Yudong Palace Village has made up for the shortage of grain demand in Pingjiang Prefecture.
A large amount of silver money flowed into the hands of the Liang family and the Yongchang Houfu through the fan tower.
Fan Ding looked at Yuan Guizheng, how to decide the final number, and he had to make up his mind.
"200,000 japonica rice is always available..." Yuan Guizheng said.
"I don't lose the Lord Hou," Lin Fu said. "The Lord Hou handed me 200,000 shi of japonica rice in Chongzhou, then I will bring 40,000 shi of japonica rice to the Lord in Jinhai!"
Fan Ding secretly felt that Lin Biexin was so black, and he actually ate 80% of the 200,000 stone japonica rice when he opened his mouth!
"What about 300,000 stone?" Yuan Guizheng asked calmly.
"60,000 shi!" Lin Fu said, "I can't have any more. My eldest brother in Jinhai also needs to share the profit. Besides, the transportation capacity of the entire line is very limited, and the household's annual 2.4 million shi of grain is a must. Guaranteed, it's not easy to squeeze out 60,000 stone!"
"How quickly can I get food in Jinhai?" Yuan Guizheng asked.
"The rice grains in Chongzhou are stored in the warehouse, and the Jinhai side can withdraw them at the same time!" Lin Fu said.
In addition to delivering rice grains to the Jinhai warehouse of the household department on time, Lin Xuwen and Sun Shangwang also mastered a large amount of grain in Jinhai. Some of these grains were saved from the transportation capacity of grain roads; in addition, although the three prefectures in Yannan were severely damaged, the production organization of Hejian prefecture, especially Jinhai County, recovered well, and some food was saved.
Since the Gyeonggi Rice City was under the control of Zhang Xie and the Ministry of Household officials, Lin Xuwen and Sun Shangwang had an additional amount of grain in Jinhai, which was mainly used to adjust the transportation capacity of the Jinhai grain road. In addition, it is also prepared to be prepared, and 60,000 shi of rice grains are allocated from it to the later party, and the problem will not be big.
As long as the later party can open up the opening of Zhang Xie and the Ministry of Household, and get a share of the rice market in Gyeonggi, 60,000 stone of rice grains, they can make a lot of profits.
Even though a considerable portion of the profits will flow into the Liang family, Chongzhou will be more profitable. After this transaction is completed, Chongzhou's rice grain reserves can increase by 300,000 shi, so what can't be done?
At this time, Chongzhou also needs to reserve materials on a large scale. Even in a land of fish and rice, rice grain reserves should be maintained at more than one million stone, which is a relatively reasonable level.
"Okay, just follow the numbers!" Yuan Guizheng made a final decision.
Fan Ding is helpless when he thinks about it. The entire Jinhai grain route is controlled by the Dongyang family. If he can take 60,000 stone of rice grain into Beijing and exchange for silver, it should be enough for the Liang family to build a road from Jinan Prefecture to Weihe River. come out! At that time, it is better to go northwards from Sishui River, and then take the land route after arriving in Jinan, and then transfer it to Gyeonggi through the Weihe River.
After negotiating the matter, Yuan Guizheng, Yuan Jinsheng, and Fan Ding said goodbye and left, and did not say whether to invite or not. Zheng also didn't want Yongchang Houfu to be targeted by Ning Wangfu from now on.
*************
Lin Fu walked back to the East Wing Courtyard, Chao Xiushou stood in front of the window, looked at Gao Zongting in the outer courtyard, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Gao has been waiting for a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You are welcome," Gao Zongting said. , "Yongchang Marquis is gone?"
"Let's go," Lin Fu said, "he wants to get 60,000 shi of rice grain from Jinhai, and I have already answered him."
"In addition to handing it over to the Ministry of Households, how much rice do you have in Jinhai?" Gao Zongting asked.
"Li Bingbu wants to attack western Liaoning, and I can supply an additional 100,000 stone grains," Lin Fu said. "I originally planned to conquer Daishan and Changguo first, and suppress the Shejiashui camp on the inside, and did nothing. After that, Jinghaihai Only the main force of the division can escape and go north. If Li Bingbu can attack western Liaoning after that, I can at least suppress the Korean naval forces on the northern front and attack the coastal area of eastern Liaoning. Now, although I have thrown a military plan to King Ning, I don’t know if I will Some people will drag Huaidong's back and give information to the luxury family. I think, no matter how smooth it is, the main force of the Jinghai Division will be drawn out after next autumn. Why didn't Li Bingbu try to prevent Chen Zhihu from going south? At this time, only Jibei will be used. It is too dangerous for the army to attack western Liaoning!"
"What good plan can Li Shuai have?" Gao Zongting said gloomily, "Although Li Shuai is in the position of the Minister of War, but the court princes, Li Shuai is the last one to know Chen Zhihu's orders. I haven't seen it, the emperor asked Li Shuai, how long has the five-year period passed? Even if Chen Zhihu does not transfer to the south, and Li Shuai does not fight Liaoxi this year, he will be ousted from power!"
"..." Lin Fu was speechless, he was still struggling in Jiangning, how could Li Zhuo's situation in Yanjing be better? After thinking for a while, he said, "Since they are so taboo against Li Bingbu holding military power, why didn't Mr. Gao persuade Li Bingbu to hand over military power?"
"I persuaded me," Gao Zongting said quickly, "Li Shuai said that he will fight Western Liaoning, so he can have more hope; even if he loses, he will retreat, and it will not hurt his vitality!" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
