Chapter 66 Binding

A coral the size of a wine jar was carefully wrapped with cotton wool and shredded paper, and then it was also carefully loaded into a wooden box covered with shredded paper. Zhou Faming watched from the side, and did not dare to leave.

After packing and sealing it, Zhou Faming said to someone around him: "Then it will be a blessing to the head of the slaughter."

The man was not tall but very strong, and bowed to Zhou Faming: "Please rest assured that the goods will be delivered to Ezhou safely."

The escort team's carriage was loaded with goods and slowly moved. Zhou Faming and other soldiers watched the carriages leave. The goods on it were all rare treasures they purchased from Fanyu. After being transported back to Huangzhou, it would have been several times more profitable.

"Okay, everyone will go back to the camp to rest. Don't worry so much. What can I trust in the Huangzhou escort business?"

Zhou Faming asked the soldiers to disperse, and he transferred to his tent and handed a letter to the troops who were about to follow the escort team to Ezhou.

"You guys are smarter on the way. The escort team can't be fully equipped. If you find something wrong, please remind Tian Biaotou quickly."

"Yes, Sanlangjun, please take care of yourself. When we set off from Ezhou, the mistress repeatedly told us to take care of the smoky land on the ridge."

"I know, you guys hurry up and get together with the escort team."

The clan carried his bags and said goodbye. Zhou Faming personally sent them out of the military camp. Along the way, he watched the soldiers happily discussing "sales agency" and "purchase goods", and absurd feeling arises naturally.

He felt that he was not here to fight, but to do business.

A gentleman is poor and ashamed of making profits. Zhou Faming is very familiar with this passage. He thinks that if an army is engaged in business and business, it will probably rot sooner or later, but Yuwen Wen's fallacies and evil sayings have opened Zhou Faming's eyes.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Yuwen Wen believes that pursuing profit is human nature, just like "preventing people's mouths is more important than preventing rivers", it is impossible to block it.

The "profit" of profit-seeking is not only profit from doing business, but also fame, fortune, good fortune, good family, and everyone joins the army to kill the enemy, isn't it just to win a wife and a son by relying on military merits? Such profit-seeking is normal.

Of course, it is a taboo for military business, but if you use it as a replacement for burning, killing, looting, it will not only allow everyone to taste some sweetness, but also ensure military discipline, so why not do it?

Zhou Faming could not say that Yuwen Wen could not say that such fallacies were the case. In order to prevent business from corrupting soldiers and preventing others from seeking faults and complaining, Yuwen Wen took special measures.

In theory, Zhou Faming has no direct relationship with the coral just now, because as a general of the official army, although he was not a business with the enemy country, it was always bad to make bold purchases during the war, so like other soldiers, it was "entrusted sales".

The Lingnan Road march from Jiangzhou to Longbian in Jiaozhou. It is impossible for a journey of thousands of miles to carry a lot of money with you. Even if you rely on rewards or spoils you get, you cannot purchase overseas treasures in Fanyu in large quantities, so it depends on the villagers.

Wherever the government army attacked, the villagers would follow him. Of course, these villagers were all merchants, and they solved many urgent needs for the soldiers who were fighting abroad.

All soldiers who save money at Rixingchang Guifang, Xiyang City, Huangzhou will register and book them when they go to war, and then use this as a guarantee to borrow money from Huangzhou merchants who accompanied the army in Fanyu, using this as a basis to purchase various rare treasures.

There will be an escort team to help consign goods back to Huangzhou, of course this will be included in the charge.

If the goods shipped back to Huangzhou are for their own use, they will be taken away by their wife or parents. If they need to be sold and have no way to do so, they can entrust "sales on behalf of others". The guaranteed price can be negotiated in Fanyu.

Even Huangzhou merchants are helping with how to trade with locals. Of course, this requires billing, and the "quota" of loans must be determined based on each person's monthly military pay.

The merchants who can undertake this kind of business are the specific ones, and not everyone is qualified to do it. It is said that these are guaranteed by the big bosses in Huangzhou, and their reputation is very reliable.

The first batch of soldiers who handled related "business" have made a fortune. For example, the dried phish that purchased less than 1,000 yuan per piece in Fanyu can be sold for more than 4,000 yuan in Huangzhou, and various fees such as freight are deducted. Even if the cost of "entrusted sales" is added, it can still make a good profit.

This profit can be "withdrawn" by his family in Xiyang or "returned" to Fanyu himself as the capital for repurchasing.

Such thoughtful business made the soldiers very excited. Although some of the profits were made by merchants who borrowed money or "selled agents", everyone can understand that after all, the other party promised to "guaranteed", so it is normal to share some profits.

Those soldiers who did not save money in Rixingchang Guifang were invited to help with their passbooks and registered. Of course, as one of the "small shareholders" of Rixingchang Guifang, the Zhou family, whose son Zhou Faming, definitely did not need to exchange his military pay for the "borrow amount".

He really admired Yuwen Wen's ingenuity, because this was a concession based on the sacrifice of part of the profits of the Huangzhou Commercial Group, and it also had the intention of "taking deposits" in Rixingchang in disguise.

This practice has another meaning, which is to tie the soldiers firmly on the ship in Huangzhou, so that no one will easily betray this increasingly large group.

The army with Huangzhou soldiers as the backbone, even if a general wants to be unfavorable to the King of Xiyang, he still has to worry about whether the soldiers will follow him. The merchants who provide loans with the army and various escort businesses can obtain considerable profits from this model.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. The King of Xiyang acts like this, no wonder Huangzhou is becoming more and more popular. Thinking of this, Zhou Faming couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

A group of people rode horses and galloped on the street. One of them was Yuwen Wen in casual clothes. Before Zhou Faming could greet him, he saw the other party whizzing by. In a trance, Zhou Faming seemed to see a familiar face in the team.

‘How is it possible, how could he be in Fanyu? Could it be that I misread it?’

Zhou Faming thought so and looked around, but did not find any figures of the marshal Scholar Tatsuya or his subordinates. He was relieved and decided to pretend not to see it.

......

In the room, Zhang Yu, who had dark skin, and several companions who were also darkened, sat in front of Yuwen Wen excitedly. They never expected that they would meet the Langzhu in Panyu.

"Don't be excited, have a cup of tea and say slowly... Zhang Yu, just say it. If there is any mistake, others will add it."

"Master Lang...ah, this tea is so bitter!"

"This is the herbal tea from Lingbiao, which is specially used to remove fire and dampness. It is bitter, but if you drink too much, you will get used to it..."

Yuwen Wen said with a smile, then changed the subject: "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you in Hakata, Japan, and you've come here all the way?"
