Respect the little husband [farming]

"Who are you asking?" Xiao Er asked, and carefully looked at the man in front of him for a while. He was not tall, but short and lean, with a sweat towel tied on his forehead, a bit like the man Shen Keguan mentioned earlier.

"I'm looking for Shen Wenxuan." Yang Shun said, thinking that his name should be Shen Wenxuan?He specifically asked the few people who came back from Yuzhoukou a few days ago, and they should be right.

"Oh," Xiao Er confirmed, took out a note and handed it to him, "The guest officer doesn't live here anymore, but he left an address for you, which is not far away in Wenlening Mansion."

Yang Shun took the note and glanced at it. It was a simple guide map. He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Isn't that place a deserted house? He lives there."

"It's not deserted for a long time, this officer Shen bought it and renovated it, ouch, you don't know—"

Xiaoer leaned close to him and gossiped: "During the renovation days, people from the shop were everywhere delivering things to his house. I don't know what happened at that scene, but I thought several companies were hiring at the same time. Our Pingyuefu has a new rich family. Hu, the diners in our restaurant have been discussing this family these days, hey, why are you looking for him?"

Yang Shun lowered his eyes and coughed a few times, put away his note, and said, "It's nothing."

Turn around and leave Zuixiao Restaurant, without a guide map, turn into an alley and count a few houses before arriving at the destination.

Yang Shun walked up the steps while looking at the brand-new appearance of the house, walked to the door and tidied up the hem of his clothes nervously, raised his head and knocked on the door three times, waiting quietly.

The door opened quickly, and a sturdy man who didn't look like a doorman came out, looked him up and down, leaned against the door and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Yang Shun unconsciously stood up a little straighter. The first time he saw this man, he felt that he was very fierce. Now he felt this way even more when he heard the voice. He lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. Find Shen Wenxuan...Shen, Mr. Shen."

"Why are you looking for him?" Yan Qi asked a little curiously, thinking that this unfamiliar person can still meet acquaintances?

Yang Shun: "He said he would let me come to him after he has made up his mind."

Yan Qi nodded, looked at him again, and said, "Wait."

The door was closed again, Yang Shun waited by the door with his hands in his hands, glanced at the two stone lions standing in front of him and thought, this is the Wen Mansion, so this young man surnamed Shen is probably the manager here, these days, see The management of a big family is also so troublesome.

Not long after, Yan Qi opened the door and led Yang Shun in. He walked in strides, so fast that Yang Shun had to trot a few steps to keep up with him.

Not to mention the neatly trimmed floor tiles in the outer courtyard, there are only bamboo curtains and wind chimes hanging in the corridor, and white cobblestones are spread in the vaguely shaded courtyard, revealing an elegant atmosphere that can only be found in a literati’s home. Merchant House.

Speaking of bringing people to the study in the front yard, he left. His brothers were all planting flowers in the garden, and he was the only one guarding the gate. It would be better to plant flowers.

As soon as Yang Shun entered, he saw Mr. Shen, who came to look for him that day, sitting on the main seat, and smiled politely when he saw him come in:

"Yang Duotou, please sit down, don't be restrained."

Yang Shun was a little dazed in his mind, but he knew that he couldn't bump into this person like before anyway, so he nodded cautiously, and was about to sit in the farthest seat from him when he heard the person on the left of Mr. Shen was thin and frail. Some people said:

"Why are you sitting so far away? I want to talk to you."

After Wang Muze finished speaking, he pointed to the position closest to Shen Wenxuan on his side.

Yang Shun couldn't help it, so he could only stand up and walk a few steps before sitting on the position pointed by Wang Muze.

Standing on Shen Wenxuan's right was Zhao Er. Seeing how timid this man was, he turned his head and laughed silently for a while.

Yang Shun was a little embarrassed, but his back was still straight, and only half of his butt was sitting on the chair.

Shen Wenxuan: "It seems that Duotou Yang has agreed to do my business?"

Yang Shun didn't rush to nod or shake his head, he struggled for a while and said:

"This is not something I can do if I want to or not. You may not understand, my lord. Those who are in charge of the spice planting are the people from the spice merchants. We only have one Baixiang Pavilion in Pinglefu. If the order suddenly increases, they There must be doubts."

Shen Wenxuan nodded: "You're right, but I didn't expect you to mix my order quantity with that of Baixiangge. Baixiangge belongs to Baixiangge, and mine is mine."

Yang Shun was stunned for a moment: "Ah? This..."

"How much is the price of the spices imported by Baixiang Pavilion?" Shen Wenxuan asked.

Yang Shun hesitated for a while, then replied: "The prices of different spices are different. The cheapest ones are one tael to five yuan, and the expensive ones cost seventy or eighty yuan. Most of them are priced at around one tael to twenty yuan."

Shen Wenxuan sneered, the most expensive spices are not as expensive as the cheapest spices in Baixiang Pavilion, this business is really profitable.

"The people who control the spices are not as monolithic as you think. As long as you add some silver to these prices, some of them will sell to you, I promise."

The owner of the Anhe county village had revealed to him the secrets when he was selling his spices, but he didn’t expect it to be really useful. Shen Wenxuan’s eyes darkened for a moment, and he continued:

"Doing my business has a lot of benefits for Yang Duotou. The cost of hiring your subordinates to run the business must be higher than that offered by Baixiang Pavilion, and as long as it is your product, you can freely enter and exit the plank road."

Yang Shun lowered his head when he heard the words, a little moved, but also very entangled, if he did this, it would be equivalent to buying illegal goods for others.

Shen Wenxuan leaned on the back of the chair, lightly tapping the arm of the chair with his fingertips, and after he had enough time to think, he raised his eyes to look at Wang Muze.

Wang Muze took out 300 taels of silver bills from his pocket and put them on the coffee table in his hand.

Yang Shun was startled.

Shen Wenxuan: "I heard that due to the overcharged tolls this time, and Baixiang Pavilion was unwilling to pay the money, all the goods of Baixiang Pavilion were put on Yang Duotou's place? You can give me all these goods , there is a lot of it as my compensation to Yang Duotou for your toll, and the deposit for the next spice, if you agree, you can take it away."

Yang Shun stared at the 300 taels of silver note in his hand, and his heart could not be said to be indifferent. His subordinates ran a business trip to remove the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the distribution to his subordinates. What he could get was less than ten taels of silver.

This time, Baixiangge asked them to transport the goods—a dozen kinds of spices totaling 100 catties, the price of raw materials was only 90 taels, and the three brothers who ran the business had tolls of [-] taels. That is, he does not give the goods and does not give the remaining money.

This Baixiang Pavilion only gave a deposit before, and even the silver for the purchase was conventionally paid half in advance, and then waited to come back to Baixiang Pavilion to pay the bill. As a result, they only paid the final payment and the stipulated shipping fee. If they did this, he would lose even the coffin. If he agreed, then he would lose everything.

But with these 300 taels, it will be different, all problems will be solved, and he can make a lot of money.

Yang Shun swallowed, took a deep breath, put the 300 taels into his arms, and nodded to Shen Wenxuan.

Shen Wenxuan laughed and said, "Yang Duotou is really smart."

Yang Shun smiled politely, raised his hand and groped in his sleeve for a while, took out a piece of paper, stood up and walked in the direction of Shen Wenxuan, Zhao Erqian stepped forward to stop him, took the paper in his hand and opened it to read At a glance, there was no problem before Shen Wenxuan.

Yang Shun rubbed his nose and sat back resentfully, and said: "This is the road map for my business here. Besides the Guangzhou spice producing area at the end, I also pass through some other places, some of which are rich in cotton, some of which are rich in tea. They are all marked, if you want anything else, you can come to me.”

Most of the big merchants run their own business, but small merchants do not have enough people or some merchants find it troublesome, so they will ask others to go. This is what he does. He eats hundreds of meals, not just running errands for Baixiang Pavilion, But Baixiang Pavilion occupies the majority.

Shen Wenxuan took a look around, stopped at the rich iron ore for a second or two, then raised his head and smiled at Yang Shun: "Yang Duotou is really in business, if I need anything else in the future, I will definitely trouble you , Zhao Er, see off the guests."

Yang Shun quickly stood up and bid farewell, Zhao Er sent him out.

Wang Muze watched them walk away, looked at Shen Wenxuan and asked in puzzlement: "There are quite a few merchants like Pingyuefu, why do you have to choose him? If it's for spices, just buy him a road map gone."

This cost a lot of money, Wang Muze clutched his heart, bleeding from distress.

Shen Wenxuan stared at the road map, and replied without raising his head: "You don't even look at what his job is, the helmsman of the only pier in Pingyue Mansion, in charge of hundreds of porters, which shipper? He knows what has come and what has been transported away, why do you think I spent money to find him? Is it too much money for me?"

Besides, he didn't have much money, and the only thing he found from the magistrate Lin was 5000 taels of silver, excluding the expenses for coming to Yuzhou, the renovation of this house and the living expenses for the next few months, and then In addition, doing business now is simply stretched.

When Wang Muze came to his senses, he said "oh" suddenly, and said happily, "Fortunately, he is a person with no deep principles and greedy for money. If he meets someone who is stubborn, it will be troublesome."

"No trouble, just pull him off the helm. The stains on his body are enough for him to dismount, and then bribe the transport envoy to choose one of our people as the helm, so that what we can do will be more convenient. Some."

Shen Wenxuan smiled coldly, got up and joked: "It was almost a pity that you and Zhao Er even mentioned that one of you could be the helmsman."

"No, it's not a pity, it's not a pity at all," Wang Muze was stunned, "I'm the big butler."

"Yes yes yes." Shen Wenxuan echoed him a few words, handed him a few blueprints, and ordered as he walked out:

"Go to the blacksmith's shop and buy dozens of utensils such as mandarin duck pots, four-square grids, and nine-square grids. There are pictures on the blueprints for everything, and then go to Yang Shun to bring back the spices. The star anise, Sannai, cinnamon, and cloves you need After picking out all the spices, send the rest to Ajiao, he might like it."

Wang Muze wrote down one by one, and ran to the garden to ask a few people to follow him. It happened that Zhao Er came back after seeing off the guests, and Shen Wenxuan ordered: "Follow me to Jingshui Tower."

Zhao Er turned around and followed, scratched his head and thought about where Jingshuilou was, and after thinking about it, he said "ah", the boss was not happy: "Are you going to eat there? It is opposite Zuixiao Restaurant, if you want to eat, go there. The food there is delicious, and no one goes to this Jingshui building."

Shen Wenxuan stopped to look at the sun at ninety o'clock in the sky, then turned his head and gave him a sideways glance: "You know how to eat."

What else can you do if you don't go to a restaurant to eat?Really.

Zhao Er sneaked a sideways glance at him, and silently followed.
