lied to Kangxi

Chapter 554 Layout of Jade Pillars
Nian Gengyao has always been arrogant, he doesn't even pay attention to jade pillars, let alone Wang Xiangqing, a grassroots person?
Right under Yuzhu's nose, Nian Gengyao walked away.

Yuzhu looked at Nian Gengyao's back, but he was not angry at all.

Nian Gengyao is also a very sensible person.

The old emperor arranged for Yang Sen first, and then Yu Zhu to come to Xi'an, just to restrain Nian Gengyao.

It's just that when Yuzhu came to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, Yang Sen was deliberately transferred away by the old emperor.

Nian Gengyao blatantly refused to meet Yuzhu, and then flirted in the street, just confirming the fact that the governor and the governor did not agree.

On the streets of Xi'an, there must be Kang Mazi's eyeliner.

Nian Gengyao made such a fuss in the street, which also saved Yuzhu a lot of time.

After Nian Gengyao had gone far away, Wang Xiangqing got up from the ground.

Yu Zhu looked at Wang Xiangqing with a smile, no matter how stupid Wang Xiangqing was, he should have guessed Yu Zhu's identity by now.

Because the only person who can be respected as a good brother by Nian Gengyao is Yuzhu in Shaanxi.

"The grass people have no eyes, but they don't know Lord Juebu. They deserve death!" Wang Xiangqing knelt down in front of Yuzhu very wisely.

A businessman these days, even if he has a fortune of billions, is still a cheap businessman.

It's not normal for a cheap businessman to dare to offend an official.

Especially the high-ranking governor, once offended, will inevitably end in the tragic end of family ruin.

Yu Zhu waved his hand and sighed: "Get up. If I don't protect you, your whole family..." He paused intentionally.

Wang Xiangqing's face was as pale as paper, how could he not understand Yuzhu's unfinished meaning?
Without Yuzhu's protection, Da Shengkui and Wang Xiangqing would be finished.

Now that he offended Nian Gengyao, Wang Xiangqing had no choice but to join Yuzhu's sect to save the lives of the whole family.

Yuzhu was planning the food and grass issue for the Western Expedition, and Wang Xiangqing took the initiative to vote, just because he wanted to fall asleep, so he was next to the pillow!

It was already noon, and Wang Xiangqing wanted to invite Yuzhu to dinner, but Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "There is no delicious food in the streets of Xi'an, why don't you go back to Fuya for dinner?"

After Yu Zhu had spoken, Wang Xiangqing had no choice but to obey.

Wang Xiangqing also knows that there are no particularly well-known delicacies in Xi'an today, which is far behind the capital.

In the past, Yuzhu stayed in Xi'an for a period of time due to business reasons.He is very clear that many centuries-old gourmet brands in Xi'an were developed in the late Qing Dynasty, and there was nothing in the Kangxi Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, people in Xi’an at this time mainly eat pasta and are not good at cooking, and there is no trace of Shaanxi cuisine among the eight major cuisines.

In the city of Xi'an, there are noodle restaurants and pancake shops all over the streets.

After returning to Fuya, Yuzhu led Zhou Quan and Wang Xiangqing into the West Flower Hall in the third hall.

The three of them chatted while drinking tea.

After about half an hour, Yuzhu basically understood that Da Shengkui's most prominent features were his contacts on the grassland and his arrogant transportation ability.

So far, there are nearly [-] laden animals under Da Shengkui's banner.

The entire Shaanxi Province is definitely not self-sufficient in food, and must rely on the food supply of the imperial court.

The grain transported in from Henan can be sent to the front line of Xining, and can travel against the Yellow River to reach Xining.

However, many places in northern and western Shaanxi that lack food have to rely on land transportation.

Before Yuzhu took office, the grain in all parts of Shaanxi, except Changping warehouse, was transshipped and sold by private grain merchants.

The advantage is that the court solved the food problem of the common people with almost no money.

The disadvantages are also obvious. Hoarding and buying low and selling high are common methods used by grain merchants.

Since Yuzhu is the parent official in Shaanxi, the problem of eating for the common people must be his job.

In Yuzhu's eyes, Da Shengkui is a very good logistics company, similar to three links and one delivery.

Before Yuzhu, Wang Xiangqing also cooperated with some local officials, and without exception, they all ended in failure.

The reason is actually very simple. Those local officials just want to fill their own pockets, rather than completely solve the problem of eating for the common people.

Yuzhu didn't talk too much at all. After asking clearly about the food consumption on the road, he ordered Wang Xiangqing: "Ten shi of grain, six shi of the grain can be sent to Yan'an City, and the rest is your profit."

Previously, the government's collection of corvee was mainly to transport grain to Changping warehouses in various places.But the problem is that the ten shi of grain from Xi'an is only two shi at most when it is delivered to Yan'an Mansion.

The consumption on the road is really too great.

As for Yuzhu, simply use Wang Xiangqing's huge logistics capacity to adopt a contracted management system, first piloting Yan'an Prefecture, and then widely spreading it to the whole province.

In other words, Yuzhu will hand over all the food transportation work in the province to Da Shengkui in the future.

Dashengkui earns reasonable transportation profits and bears the corresponding expenses to ensure that the regular warehouses in various places are full.

Shaanxi is too big, and it is impossible for Yuzhu to monopolize the entire province's grain sales.

However, Yuzhu can find a way to make the Changping warehouses in various places full of warehouses.

To be honest, no matter how business is discussed, Wang Xiangqing couldn't help showing embarrassment after calculating the transportation cost.

Transporting ten shi of grain to Yan'an, Wang Xiangqing's net profit is only one shi of grain.

To put it bluntly, selling ten shi of grain and only making a profit of one shi, for grain merchants, it is not a profitable business at all.

Seeing that Wang Xiangqing didn't say anything, Yu Zhu winked at Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan then shook his folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Wang Dadong's family, it is really not very profitable to transport grain from Henan to Shaanxi. However, as long as my Lord Gong Bao sends a letter to Chief Celeng of Uliasutai With a solid letter of recommendation, I can assure you that Da Shengkui's various goods can be transported unimpeded on the Mongolian prairie from now on."

Da Shengkui's main source of income is doing various businesses on the grassland.

However, Wang Xiangqing is a lowly businessman after all, and all the princes and auspicious people on the prairie can bully others, making trouble unspeakable, and the cost of transportation is extremely high.

In Yuzhu's capacity, write a letter to Celen, asking him to take care of Da Shengkui's business.

Good guy, just the saving of all kinds of management costs makes Shaanxi's meager profit in grain transportation not worth mentioning at all.

Because, the business on the prairie is all super profiteering, and the gross profit less than five times is not called making money at all!
"Wang Dadong's family, to tell you the truth, Mr. Yang Senyang, the chief envoy of Shanxi who has just taken office, is exactly the old department of my family, Mr. Gongbao, in Pianyuan Province." Zhou Quan just clicked so far, and the rest is up to Wang Xiangqing. Got it.

Like Liu Bang, the big hooligan, Yu Zhu has always been willing to make a profit when he employs people.

No benefit, who will get up early?
It is actually the truth that wealth gathers and people disperse, and wealth disperses and people gather together!
Under Xiang Yu's subordinates, how many loyal old subordinates who have made great contributions are crowned kings?

On the contrary, the old aristocrats of the six countries who did not accept Xiang Yu at all took advantage of it.

Yuzhu is not Wang Xiangqing's grandfather, so why should Wang Xiangqing work for Yuzhu without making money?

From Shanxi to the prairie, there are all places that can be covered by jade pillars.

Wang Xiangqing didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately knelt down at Yuzhu's feet, slapped himself hard, and said in a crying voice: "The villain's heart for profit is too heavy, and he has failed the love of Lord Gongbao." , Lord Gong Bao severely punished."

Yuzhu really didn't care about Wang Xiangqing's pursuit of profit.

Let the privately owned Da Shengkui help transport grain to various places in Shaanxi. If there is not enough profit, this kind of cooperation will definitely not last long.

Businessmen do not seek profit, do they seek air?

Scholars in this era are almost all contemptuous of businessmen, and often scold profiteers, bad money and so on.

However, whether it is a scholar in the middle school or an official, which one has no one behind it to do business and make a lot of money?
The hypocrites among these scholars are scolding profiteers while doing profiteering transactions under the protection of power in private.

This is a typical split personality!
In fact, the largest pawnshop in the prefecture or county is often the private property of the local parent officials.

While eating, Yuzhu was in a very good mood.

Yu Zhu had already filed a memorial for the military rations, and planned to hand it over to Kong Zhi to take the Yellow River water transport to handle.

As for the transportation of grain across Shaanxi, it is natural to hand it over to the logistics giant of this era, Wang Xiangqing's Da Shengkui.

Let professional talents do professional things, and then give them enough sustainable benefits, so that they don't have to worry about Kong Zhi and Wang Xiangqing not working hard.

Because everything was settled, the atmosphere between the banquets was also exceptionally good.

Wang Xiangqing never dreamed that once Yuzhu made a move, he would be able to cover the necessary commercial road from Shanxi to the prairie.

Celeng is not only the son-in-law of the emperor, but also the chief executive of Uliasutai. He said, who dare not give face to the large Mongolian princes?
However, under Yuzhu's sect, Yang Sen, the former acting Shaanxi chief minister and the current Shanxi chief minister, can not only directly copy Wang Xiangqing's hometown, but also allow Da Shengkui's goods to get the privilege of priority exit.

In this way, even if Wang Xiangqing wanted to get rid of Yu Zhu's control, it would be absolutely impossible.

After the banquet was over, Zhou Quan sent Wang Xiangqing away, and when he came back, he said, "Congratulations Dong Weng, the whole province of Shaanxi will hardly be short of food from now on."

Yuzhu understood it as soon as he heard it, and Zhou Quan had already understood his good intentions.

In Shaanxi Province, Changping warehouses in various places can have [-]% of the grain in stock, which is considered a lot.

There is very little grain in the Changping warehouse, and the local government cannot restrain profiteers from driving up prices, which is the main factor for the high grain price in Shaanxi.

Besides, as long as there is Yuzhu's secret help, the cost of Wang Xiangqing's purchase of grain from the eastern provinces will be surprisingly low.

As the old saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you don't panic.

In the place of Shaanxi in the Kangxi Dynasty, the mountains were not high, but the ditches were deep.Scholars in Shaanxi can't pass the imperial examinations, but their folk customs are extremely tough.

Objectively speaking, today's Shaanxi is almost full of bandits or swordsmen.

Serving as an official will benefit one party.

Since Yuzhu is one of the local emperors in Shaanxi, it is natural to leave a remarkable political record in Shaanxi!
