Chapter 312 Wuyi Silkworm Walk
Chapter 312 Five Silkworms' Journey
This is also the reason why Liu Peng is depressed now. Jin Baiwan is really unreliable to do the business. He obviously has gold and silver but refuses to make money. Any customer who is willing to buy horses in the East Three Mansions will be slightly higher than Liu Peng's side. Boss Jin will be impatient to take it off. In the end, some of the remaining horses that others have picked and handed over to Liu Peng to handle the errands. The latest and fastest update
Since it was all the remaining military horses that others picked, even if they were pretty good, Liu Peng naturally didn't have much interest. As a result, Jin Baiwan obviously transported nearly a thousand good horses from Liaodong, but Liu Peng only bought more than a hundred horses, which was not enough for the patrol team. It was just that such dissatisfaction was not easy to express. Liu Peng just said to Jin Baiwan: "Boss Jin, my price is absolutely suitable. I will keep it for me next time if there is a good horse!"
Jin Baiwan immediately replied: "I know, I know, I will definitely keep it for you, Mr. Liu first!"
However, Jin Baiwan's promise has never been much credible, and he quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Liu, this time I will go to Liaodong with another batch of goods. Let me tell you first."
Now it was Zhang Yihe who scolded Jin Baiwan next to him: "Boss Jin, what weapons are you going to transport to Liaodong? You have to do something more reliable."
In the past, Jin Baiwan was hidden very deeply, and no one knew his true background. It was just that he stayed in Longkou for a long time, and everyone slowly figured out his background.
He did have some channels in Liaodong, and could transport a large number of rare Liaodong goods and military horses, and there was a way to open the seaway without any obstacles. However, his real money-making business was to export a large amount of prohibited materials to Liaodong. What materials were prohibited from exporting to Liaodong by the Ming Dynasty, and the amount of gold was exported to Liaodong by a large amount of gold.
Steel ingots, gunpowder, armor, medicinal materials, paper, bows and arrows, all of these things have been transported. Anyway, the banned business of banned millions of gold has been done very much, and it has reached the level of "amazing". However, he has Li Chengliang's way in Liaodong. The navy did not dare to check his supplies at all at sea. However, his banned supplies can leave Longkou, so these banned supplies can be transported to Liaodong. The latest and fastest update
Therefore, the only obstacle for him to transport prohibited materials was Liu Peng's side. Although Longkou was very well managed, Jin Baiwan went to Liaodong to smuggle military prohibited materials on a large scale, so Zhang Yihe deliberately stabbed him.
Jin Baiwan quickly said, "It's just some ordinary rice grains. It's profitable to send grain to Liaodong this year if the harvest is not good. Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
The grain prices in Liaodong are very cheap this year, so Liu Peng had specially bought a batch of grain from Liaodong before, but Liu Peng didn't care too much about this issue. He nodded and said, "Then just ship it over. Don't do any business that violates the Ming Dynasty's laws. Help me buy more good horses from Mongolia. You go down first. I have something to do to talk to Boss Zhang first!"
Jin Baiwan got such a promise, and he retreated happily, but Zhang Yihe looked at Jin Baiwan's background and said, "Young Master Liu, people like Jin Baiwan can't believe it. They speak like farts. They have never counted it. God knows what he transported on the boat. Be careful!"
Liu Peng nodded and said, "I know in my heart that Jin Baiwan is really unreliable, but he is an old business in Longkou. Not long after Longkou opened the port, he came to support him, so he had to sell him some face."
Zhang Yihe followed Liu Peng's tone and said: "Mr. Liu, you should be careful. He said he was doing Mongolian business, but God knows where his goods went after they arrived in Liaodong. If so many armored weapons and military equipment were investigated, the Jinyiwei would probably be in danger."
Liu Peng couldn't help but feel excited. He followed Zhang Yihe's tone and said: "Yes, no one knows where Boss Jin's goods went, and maybe they all fell into the hands of the old slave?"
"Old slave?" Zhang Yihe asked: "Who is the old slave?"
"Nurhaci, Nurhaci of Jianzhou!" Liu Peng said this name coldly, and his whole mind calmed down. He asked Zhang Shihe: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. I am very honored that Boss Zhang is here. We are our own people. We can directly open the skylight and say something. No matter what convenient or inconvenient things, Boss Zhang will speak directly."
Liu Peng's attitude made Zhang Yihe very satisfied. He immediately said: "It's not a big deal. This year, the Zheng family and Heng Prince's Mansion of Linqing pressed a lot of nails on the west side of Laizhou Prefecture. Once these nails were pressed, the raw silk in our Zhucheng could not come. So I want to ask Mr. Liu to help you lift these nails. Even if you can't lift these nails, you should knock them."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yihe added: "Although the Zheng family actually pressed a lot of nails, it is the nail in Gaomi County that makes our Zhucheng very difficult to deal with, and it is also very unpretentious."
Liu Peng immediately asked, "It's the five silkworm shop in Gaomi County? I've heard Nie Yuan say it."
When Liu Peng talked about the four words "Five Silkworms" and Zhang Yihe was relieved, but at this time, Boss Jin Baiwan suddenly ran back and heard the conversation between Liu Peng and Zhang Yihe. He interrupted and said, "Five Silkworms? I know this Silkworms are in Gaomi County. I have dealt with them several times. Do I want me to help Boss Zhang go over and talk to you?"
Zhang Yihe immediately said, "Yes, it's the Five Silkworms's Travels. They not only blocked the avenue from our Zhucheng to Dengzhou, but also blocked all the paths. Now they can't transport a cocoon."
"Clog all the paths" is naturally an exaggeration, but once the Wuyi Silkworms blocked the avenue, the cocoons of the entire Zhucheng and Nanqingzhou were unable to be transported out. After all, although the cocoons and cocoons are very precious, if they want to transport them out, the weight is absolutely not light. They have to be carried on a car and horse. It is impossible to walk along the road at all, so they can only walk along the road.
Now, with the support of the Zheng family of Linqing and the Yiwei Department of Hengfu, this Wuyi Silkworms directly blocked the road and sent people to patrol day and night. No cocoons or raw silk are allowed to be transported eastward. If they find someone smuggled cocoons to Dengzhou Prefecture, not only will they be severely punished, but they will also have to be forced to purchase them at a low price after being fined.
The silkworm farmers in Zhucheng have been jumping for this matter several times, and Liu Peng nodded and smiled at Jin Baiwan, while telling Zhang Yihe: "This matter is too unreasonable. Their five Silkworms are just a silkworm business, not an official, and not a tooth businessman. Why do you intercept merchants on the road, fine them, and forcefully purchase silkworm cocoons."
Zhang Yihe didn't expect Liu Peng to understand so clearly: "So Young Master Liu already knows it?"
The boss Jin Baiwan, next to him, also smiled and said, "How can Mr. Liu not know about this? Mr. Liu, should I go over and talk to the Wu Yi Si Silkworms? I have some friendship with them, and they will probably be able to save face."
Liu Peng immediately replied: "It's not that I already know, but the prefect Wang has told me several times that he would hit the five Silkworms in his arms. Captain Nie Chuan Nie also said that they were too arrogant and seriously injured one of our brothers the last time. Besides, the five Silkworms in his arms were originally following the prefect Wang to help collect the cocoons, but it turned out that they didn't talk about the past, and even grabbed a basket of fresh cocoons in their hands and refused to let go. There is no such truth in this world!"
Speaking of this, Liu Peng explained to Jin Baiwan again: "Boss Jin doesn't have to go over. They don't even give me my face, let alone you have a little friendship with Wu Yisangxing. It's a waste of talk after you've gone by. By the way, Boss Jin, why are you back?"
Jin Baiwan replied: "I only remembered that there is another important thing when I went out. I want to tell you Mr. Liu."
"Okay, let's talk about it later, let's talk about the Wu Yi Si Silkworms' journey first."
As the name suggests, the Five Silkworms Business knew that this was a silkworm business run by five local sticks in Gaomi. However, it was actually a silkworm business. In the past, it was responsible for helping Hengwang Mansion to collect some fresh cocoons to make food and clothing before making some money. So last year, the Five Silkworm Business joined Wang Daoyi and reaped many benefits by helping Dengzhou people collect cocoons, and even the number of people under his command was 50% or 60%.
However, during this year's silk raw war, the Zheng family and Heng Prince's Mansion of Linqing offered higher prices to the Wuyi Cocoon Store. Not only did the Wuyi Silkworm Store go back to the first time, but also revealed the Zheng family all the silk collection plans that Wang Daoyi had planned to this year. Then they invited the coalition forces of the Zheng family and Heng Prince's Mansion to build a blockade line in Laizhou Prefecture that even a silk cocoon cannot leak.
Any silkworm farmers who dare to cross this blockade line and have had some contact with Dengzhou people now suffer a great loss. Not to mention the cocoons and raw silkworms that are made into chariots and horse boxes, even the old man will be detained by the Wuyi Silkworm Store with a basket of fresh silkworms. They will be fined first and then forced to buy them. If they say a little more, they will be confiscated.
Wang Daoyi specially found Liu Peng for this matter. It was really too unreasonable to do the Wuyi Cocoon. Liu Peng also promised Wang Daoyi to clean up the Wuyi Cocoon. Now it was Zhang Yihe's turn to be surprised and happy: "Has the prefect Wang explained this matter?"
Liu Peng replied: "Not to mention the prefect Wang, even many friends in Laizhou Prefecture think that Wuyi Cocoon is not doing their job properly. It would be fine if you do things for the Zheng family and the Heng Prince's Mansion. Why not even let a cocoon go? This is too disrespectful. Now there are complaints everywhere in the officialdom. They have told me through Captain Nie Chuan Nie that they should do it well. As long as they don't kill anyone, they will be responsible for all the aftermath even if it is seriously injured."
In ancient China, when it comes to farming, farming and sericulture have always been equally important. It is a real political achievement for local officials to encourage people to grow mulberry and silkworms. However, in the past, only the Zheng family and the Heng Mansion monopolized the silkworm cocoon business. The price was too low, and the silkworm farmers naturally had no enthusiasm for raising silkworms. Therefore, when it comes to persuade people to raise silkworms, local officials have a great headache and have also made the Zheng family and Heng Mansion hate them.
