…
That night.
Wang Shouzhe's carriage went back to the main house, and he wrote a few letters for the generals to deliver.
Remind the families who are close to each other as soon as possible, lest they feel dissatisfied with the Wang family who was not affected by the disaster. Even if they have discovered signs of insect infestation, it will not hinder Wang's overtures.
In addition, Wang Shouzhe only took two generals and rode out overnight. After arriving at Dingpu Ferry, we used the family fishing boat to cross Anjiang secretly, and when we rushed all the way to Changning Acropolis, the sky just brightened.
The outline of Changning City is majestic and shining under the sunlight.
The city wall is more than ten feet high, and the whole body is built of thick black stone bricks. Some soldiers with complete armor, bows and crossbows are stationed on the battlements. Every tens of feet, there is also a giant bed crossbow deployed.
Changningwei said that the level is only a county seat, but it is more powerful and domineering than those famous cities on the earth.
No way, this world is not ancient China. In the dangerous environment of the outer domain, there are many powerful monsters and beasts. In the event of a beast tide, the high-walled and fortified city is the only barrier for human beings.
Ping'an Town also has a city wall, but it is not as good as the Acropolis.
The horses of Wang Shouzhe and his party stopped slowly in front of the city gate, got off their horses, and joined the team that entered the city early. However, most of the people who rushed into the city at this time were farmers, small traders, handicraftsmen and other civilians.
As soon as they saw Wang Shouzhe, who was leading a big horse and dressed in luxurious clothes, and his family generals, they instinctively stepped aside to express their awe.
In the Dagan Kingdom, the Xuanwu family is a privileged class, and no matter how poor the small family is, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
Dongcheng Gate.
Two well-armored soldiers greeted him, checked Wang Shouzhe's family token, and then respectfully invited him into the city.
He didn't delay after entering the city, and led the horse directly to Qian's Commercial Firm. Qian's Commercial Firm has business all over Longzuo County, with strong strength and high reputation. The Miecong Powder refined by the Zifu Academy is precisely managed by Qian's Commercial Bank.
Only from this item, Qian's Commercial Firm has made a lot of money, not to mention their business is far more than just insecticide powder.
He took out the token of the Wang family, and the general stayed outside the door to wait. Wang Shouzhe was ushered into a side hall in the business by the door to wait. The maid served melons, fruits and tea and then retreated.
Wang Shouzhe drank his tea calmly and looked around. Even if it is just a side hall of a commercial branch, it is still extremely luxuriously decorated. The screen furniture made of various precious woods, the random antique ornaments, etc., are all of high value.
With Wang Shouzhe's relatively "shallow" cognition, he also noticed the value of the decorations in this side hall. At least hundreds of thousands of dry gold, showing the strong financial resources of Qian's business, it really deserves to be one of the powerful families dominating Longzuo.
As a time traveler, Wang Shouzhe naturally understood the psychological tactics of Qian's firm.
Waited for a quarter of an hour or so.
A middle-aged man with a fat body and a face full of kindness and wealth came in: "The Patriarch of the Ping'an Wang family is here in person. I am sorry for Qian's mistake."
Wang Shouzhe narrowed his eyes, and the other party's calm and polite words revealed a huge amount of information.
He served as the patriarch for only two or three days, and now that the Ping'an Wang family is in decline, even if the patriarch changes, it will not attract much attention. But I didn't want to, Qian's firm not only noticed it. Within a quarter of an hour, his identity was confirmed.
As expected of being one of the business giants dominating Longzuo, this information ability is very powerful. Moreover, the other party's surname is Qian, and he has an extraordinary temperament. He is probably a member of the Qian family's bloodline.
"Where is it, Wang took the liberty to come here, and I have been lucky to have Mr. Qian personally entertain me." Wang Shouzhe naturally responded politely and modestly. The person surnamed Qian couldn't be the shopkeeper.
The size of Qian's Commercial Firm is huge, and even the shopkeeper of the Changning branch is a big shot, so it is impossible to receive him, the patriarch of the Qi Refining Realm of a dilapidated family.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat down.
After sitting down, he didn't start to talk about the serious business. Mr. Qian and Wang Shouzhe talked about the ancestor of Zhouxuan, the ancestor of Longyan, and then talked about Wang Shouzhe's achievements in passing the initial examination of Zifu Academy. Excellent homework.
And Wang Shouzhe's plans for this trip are very big, so naturally he can't show his timidity. He chatted with him about the mountains, and inadvertently showed his logic and thinking ability stronger than that of the natives.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, with your knowledge, brother Shouzhe, if you go to the re-examination of the Zifu Academy, becoming a student of the academy is almost a certainty." Director Qian inadvertently paid more attention to Wang Shouzhe, half-praising He said with emotion, "Zifu Academy not only pays attention to cultivation talents, they also value the vision and pattern of the disciples of the Academy. I think that the Wang family will return to the top sooner or later in your hands, and even make great strides forward. "
"Brother Qian, stop ridiculing younger brother." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and smiled wryly, "Our Ping An Wang family only wants to survive in peace, and we have nothing else to ask for."
Under each other's politeness, the two have begun to call each other brothers.
"Too modest. By the way, brother Shouzhe, you have come to my Qian's firm overnight. Could it be that you have some big business to do?" After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mr. Qian finally couldn't hold back anymore, and brought the topic back to the right track. .
Hearing this, Wang Shouzhe gently put down the teacup, his eyes filled with calmness: "Speaking of which, I really need Brother Qian's help. I need five thousand bags of Mie Chong San."
As soon as this remark came out, Mr. Qian's hands trembled suddenly, he looked at Wang Shouzhe in disbelief, and after a long while suppressed his dissatisfaction, he said, "Brother Shouzhe is here to amuse me?"
"Why did Brother Qian say that?" Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "The Qian's Firm in Nuoda doesn't even have five thousand bags of insecticide powder, right?"
"Brother, do you know how much five thousand bags of Miechong powder are? One bag of Miechong powder is about 100 catties. After dilution, it is enough to use a hundred mu of fertile land, and five thousand bags of Miechong powder is already enough for 500,000 mu of farmland. That's it." Chief Qian said with a frown, "Our Changningwei and the towns under our command add up to only about 1.5 million mu of fertile land."
"I know." Wang Shouzhe's face did not fluctuate at all, and his eyes were very serious.
Master Qian's expression gradually became more exciting: "Brother, are you kidding me?"
"Of course I'm not joking." Wang Shouzhe said, "Although my Ping'an Wang family is only a low-ranking ninth-rank family, it's not like I don't know the importance."
"Okay, okay, my brother is really a big surprise for Brother Yu. I'll accept this deal." Mr. Qian said with a happy expression, "However, there are only 2,000 bags in the Changning branch of Qian's Commercial Bank, and the remaining 3,000 bags are in stock. You need to go to other branches to get it, and it will take at least ten days."
"Why is there so little inventory?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly.
"This is already quite a lot. In previous years, the inventory was basically emptied." Mr. Qian said solemnly, "Because it involves the planting and production of raw materials, the annual production of insecticide powder is planned. Last year, raw materials were harvested and more were produced. More than 10%, I originally wanted to sell it to various families at a low price, but I didn’t want only a few families to spend money to stockpile the goods. No, last winter, we in Changningwei still have a backlog of 2,000 bags of the batch.”
"Brother, why aren't those families willing to stock up on low prices?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually.
"This... well, it's not a secret to talk about it. Many families already know it, and it doesn't violate the family rules to tell my brother." After a little hesitation, Mr. Qian said helplessly, "The medicinal materials used in Miecong Powder , are all grown through many aristocratic medicine fields. Because of the good profits, more and more aristocratic families have put into production medicine fields. In recent years, the output has been higher and higher, and we are also purchasing raw materials at lower prices. This winter this year A batch of Mie Chong San, the output is probably... You know, the bigger the family, the better the news."
Hehe~ Wang Shouzhe understands that this is overcapacity and the market is saturated. Although he is not a professional in economics, his vision and awareness surpass those of the natives in this fantasy world.
"In that case." Wang Shouzhe said after a moment of calculation, "I want the 2,000 bags of cash in the firm's inventory, and the 3,000 bags of futures."
"Well, brother Shouzhe, what are futures?" Mr. Qian didn't understand the word at all, and his chubby face was full of doubts.
