Chapter 262 It's all the grace of Master Zhu
The same is true for the supplies in the county warehouse. They do not lack food or firewood. These supplies can only be kept in the county warehouse. If you want to do something in it, it will not be very beneficial. If you move these business that cannot be sold for price and occupy space back home, the benefits you get are not as good as the effort you spend. But if it can be exchanged for cash, it will be different. As long as someone is willing to buy them, the price will not matter to them. Moreover, selling them to Zhu Da can also make a favor, let alone considering the gains and losses of the official property.
The official's proposal was immediately agreed by everyone in the yamen, and Jin Guannian praised it a few times.
Although the farm has consumed a lot of cash in the past few days, 800 taels of silver were still taken out, and the silver was sent soon. This time, in addition to silver, there was 20% of the gold. Seeing this yellow and white thing, the eyes of the officials present shone. If it weren't for the concern that outsiders were present, someone would have reached out to pick it up.
After getting the money, the officials and servants did not rush to leave. Zhu Da had already pushed out the New Year's goods purchased from the Li family caravan. According to yesterday's method, he laid hay on the ground, displayed the goods one by one, and waited for the goods to be placed. The officials and servants surrounded him happily.
"...I'm worried that there is no place to buy fruits, and the children at home are making a lot of noise..."
"......These Tartars are so damn that they don't even have any place to buy pepper. It's a coincidence that there are them here, otherwise the Chinese New Year would really have no taste..."
"...The lacquerware at home is broken, and I happened to buy two of them this time..."
"...You said there are girls in the Tartars, but why can't this rouge and water powder be sold there? I'll ask for all these..."
"......Do you have a few young people in your family, and you need so many things that women use to make..."
"...It's not for my family. My shop will also have to replenish the goods. At that time, my wife will send them to several masters, and they will also need them..."
It snowed for a few days in the twelfth lunar month, and it was the time for coldness. However, the group of officials and servants who came here ignored the cold and were very excited. While selecting goods, they were the most purchasing power in Huairen County. Only they would consider the quality of their life and think about their own quality of life.
"...This price is too expensive, it's almost doubled..."
"...It's not cheap when we purchase goods. Look at the heavy snow blocking the road. How could a caravan come again? I'm afraid it's time for spring to turn snow..."
There is not much bargaining when trading stolen goods, both parties are very happy, but they are different when buying and selling New Year's goods, because the former is like Zhu Da? The latter is a normal trading business, so everyone's attitudes are naturally different.
Zhu Da doubled the price of the New Year goods purchased from the Li family caravan. Li He led a few smart servants to participate in the sale. They were very polite, but the price was not allowed. This is the benefit of the exclusive business. If you don’t buy it here, there is no other place to choose. In the end, Zhu Da came forward to give him a "face" and changed the price to doubled by 5.
All New Year’s goods are purchased in the twelfth lunar month, and the quality of the goods is not bad. It’s okay to use them for home use, but those who give gifts and favors cannot be ignored. In addition, the private goods at home sold the money and were very relaxed. Mr. Zhu gave face and gave up the price. After everyone bargained for a while, they accepted it and swept away the New Year’s goods they had moved out.
After the transaction was completed, the officials and servants had just obtained more than 700 taels of silver and returned a lot. Some people didn't care about these things when buying New Year's goods, but some people noticed them and asked curiously: "Let's not rush to divide them first, how much is left in Diandian?"
After counting, there were 270 taels of silver left on the official side. Many of the people who came this time were leaders with real power in the sixth house, all of whom were proficient in calculating. They quickly made a judgment. They came to trade with private goods, but in fact they only earned more than 200 taels from Zhu Da. If the New Year's goods were included, it was only more than 400 taels. Zhu Da sold one tael of silver for three taels of silver, which was considered a bargain.
Although I can figure this trick out, after all, I got cash and bought New Year's goods. Everyone was in a good mood. Someone smiled and walked up to get close to it: "Mr. Zhu is really a saint in business. No wonder Hebian New Village can do so big. If Mr. Zhu could make money with us, I wouldn't have to do this yamen job."
Fu Yu and Meng Tian, who were helping not far away, were also muttering in a low voice. Meng Tian didn't care much about these things. Fu Yu kept thinking about it, and while busy cleaning up, he whispered: "Our master only spent 500 taels of silver to eat all the goods from the Li family. Now he only sold these fine ones and made all of them back. He still had to make a lot of money on these stolen goods. This business is done one after another, and every link makes money, and he can still give up favors. Who gave him this ability?"
From the Li family caravan to the farm until today, Fu Yu went through the entire transaction process. He thought about the entire transaction more deeply than many people. Zhu Da spent 500 taels of goods to buy Li family, more than 1,000 taels of stolen goods, and more than 700 taels of private goods to buy today. If he had not experienced it personally, he would think that Zhu Da spent a total of nearly 3,000 taels of silver, but in fact he only spent less than 800 taels of money and lost a large amount of wealth. He had never heard of this kind of routine of borrowing chickens to lay eggs. Fu Yu was obsessed with it.
These are nothing to Zhu Da. In those twenty years of memory, this was just a simple trade behavior, countless more complicated than this. Of course, the information is well-informed, sufficient capital, sufficient strength to guarantee, and the courage to make up their minds, so that the business can be completed. If it were someone else, it might not be possible.
Before leaving, Jin Guannian specially talked to Zhu Da for a few words, with a low attitude and a sincere statement, "Mr. Zhu has anything to help with in business, even if you say something, Mr. Zhu's business can benefit everyone, and there is no reason and no effort."
Back then, Baibao Village and Hebian New Village were just rumors. At most, the people in the county had just observed it in a flash. This "young genius who can do business" was just a rumor. Everyone thinks that Zhu Da has a powerful character who is hosting it. However, everyone can see these businesses outside Huairen County, either by themselves or by personal experience. This young man is really good at doing business and has a little bit of the ability to turn into gold.
If this young man who can do business makes a little situation outside the city, if there is a situation like Zheng Jiaji, even if it is only as high as Baibao Village and Hebian New Village, this county town like a pool of stagnant water will flourish. With more people and logistics, it will become lively. Three classes and six rooms will definitely be the first group of people to get the benefits. The word "profit" is the first, and even if there is any rift, you have to let go. Jin Guannian's statement is sincere, and it represents the vast majority of the officials and servants.
The Li family caravan has left, and the county caravan has also left. After transporting the goods into the warehouse, the farm that had been bustling for several days has become quiet again. The daily necessities they sent were very sufficient, even more than those sent by Chang Kai. According to Chang Kai, "... Anyway, it is the wealth of the public, who cares about how much..."
No matter how you look at it, Zhu Da made a fortune in these days' transactions. He was not in a hurry to use silver, nor did he have any problem of ineffective turnover. The goods left in his hands are easy to sell. If they can be sold at a high price, you will definitely make a big profit as long as you sell them.
Those who make money must be in a good mood, and Zhu Da's relaxed and joyfulness are taken for granted. However, only those close to Li He and Chang Shen know that it is probably not. Zhu Da has always been calm, but he is a little happy whenever he tells him that there is a woman who needs cotton. This actually makes everyone a little puzzled. He thinks that wool and cloth should also require more wool. Why do you be happy if you need more cotton?
Even though he was happy, Zhu Da had no intention of taking a holiday. In fact, the daily training of servants, young policemen and refugees has increased, and the training during the day has increased by more than half of the time. Originally, he used more wooden poles in daily life, but now half of the time is used to use real swords and guns, and patrols and guards are also necessary. This makes servants and refugees good, but the young police complain. Fu Yu and Meng Tian talked privately, thinking that someone would not hold on and never come again. He never thought of complaining about it, and no young police left.
"...The arrangement of this open and secret whistle is not something ordinary people can understand. Maybe it's the Zheng family who knows that our master has a good relationship with the Zheng family..."
The day after the officials sold their private goods back to the city, Zhou Qingyun came to the farm again. In addition to passing the message as usual, taking the servants and young soldiers to rotate, he also rode around the farm with Zhu Da for more than half an hour. After returning, he set up more than ten posts inside and outside the farm. Some of these posts were standing still and guarding at intersections or standing high places, some were unable to stop patrolling inside and outside, and some were swimming outside the farm hidden. The first two were often responsible for refugees and young policemen, while those who were swimming outside the farm could only be the servants. Smart people could figure out some tricks in this set of settings, and Fu Yu was the one who was most interested in.
Most people think that the arrangement of the post is Zhu Da’s daily training, while a small number of people feel a little nervous. In fact, this small number of people think that Zhu Da has been a little weird recently. On the one hand, he is very excited, and on the other hand, he is nervous.
There is another thing that makes people pay attention to. Sun Wu can move freely in the farm. He also trains with the refugees, but it is much more free than other refugees. Li He and Chang Shen take Sun Wu with him when dealing with many trivial matters, especially when it involves refugees. With Sun Wu participating, everyone is more likely to accept it. The refugees are not jealous of the special treatment of this former companion. They think this is natural. Sun Wu Ge is better than everyone, let alone any bruises and injuries, and Sun Wu Ge helps with the treatment. If you want to say that there is something different, it is nothing more than Sun Wu Ge not persuades everyone to believe in Maitreya Buddha and silent mother, but instead says, "This is all the kindness of Master Zhu."
