Chapter 128 Recognize only money but not people
"You mean, there is no surplus cement now?" Zhao Wen looked at Wang Liuqi.
Wang Liuqi sighed, "That's right, the cement order has already been booked for the next year. Where is there any surplus cement?"
Zhao Wen pinched his chin and thought about it.
According to the city samples given to Buhe, at least several thousand tons to tens of thousands of tons of cement are needed.According to the weight unit of this era, at least one million catties or even tens of millions of catties of cement are needed.
According to the current output of cement kilns, at least one month's work of the cement kiln is needed to produce it.
But if all the cement produced by all efforts is handed over to Wu Keshan, the interests of Shanxi merchants will definitely be damaged.
If Shanxi merchants get into trouble because of this reason, it's really not easy to handle.
Suddenly, Zhao Wen was caught in a dilemma.
The cement handed over to Shanxi merchants cannot be broken, and the cement handed over to Horqin cannot be broken either.
Although there are nearly 5000 people in Longmenbao today, these people have just filled the newly built cement kiln.
If it continues to build, there will definitely not be enough manpower.After all, the nearly 1000 people are the total number of people inside and outside Longmen Fort, and nearly [-] of them are related to the Longmen Army.
But after Wu Keshan took the captive away this time, the person who dug the stone disappeared.
Coupled with the construction of more cement kilns, the demand for stones has increased a lot.
There must be at least 700 people in the quarry, which is much less now.
Today's cement plants are barely full.
Zhao Wen thought for a long time, then said to Wang Liuqi: "Do you see if this works? Can you work in two shifts, and the fire in the cement kiln will not stop, day and night?"
Wang Liuqi thought for a while, and then said: "Sir, although this can increase production, we still don't have enough manpower. These workers can't keep working forever."
"That's true." Zhao Wen frowned and said, "Forget it, let me keep half of the cement you produce every day, and give the remaining half to Shanxi merchants. If Shanxi merchants ask, you will say that there is not enough manpower. Production is limited, so let them slow down and wait until two months later."
"Okay!" Wang Liuqi said affirmatively.
The cement factory is owned by Zhao Wen, and Wang Liuqi can only obey orders no matter what Zhao Wen wants to do.
"Okay, then I'll go first. Work hard and try to produce more cement!"
Before Zhao Wen left, he patted Wang Liuqi on the shoulder and said expectantly.
There is a continuous stretch of warehouses about a mile away from the cement factory, and the cement that has been subpackaged in the cement factory will be stored in these warehouses.
The fleet of Shanxi Merchants will come to this warehouse to pick up the goods.
After all, the cement factory is Zhao Wen's cash cow, and people who are not related to him are not allowed to enter the cement factory.
Standing at the outermost part of these warehouses, Zhao Wen couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he watched the motorcades coming and going, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, this cement would be so popular."
Li Xiaosan patted Zhao Wen's flattery, and said with a smile, "That's right, my lord is a god in the sky."
Carts with small family flags flowed in an endless stream, and empty vehicles entered the warehouse.
Carts full of cement lined up outside and headed towards Xuanfu Town.
These Shanxi merchants have built warehouses in Xuanfu to store cement, and when the cement is transported to the warehouse, they will be transported to various places.
Fan Zheng was sitting in the lobby behind the Xuanfu Yuanfuxiang main store with a red face, his left hand kept tapping on the abacus on the table.
There was an account book on his left hand, which was filled with densely packed small characters.
Fan Zheng stopped from time to time, picked up the brush next to him, and wrote and drew on the ledger.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect, oh, I didn't expect that the sales of cement would increase so much with this banditry. I really hope that this banditry can be more serious." Fan Zheng said happily.
"Big shopkeeper, big shopkeeper, Mr. Liu is here, and he said he has something important to do."
A waiter hurried in from the outside.
Fan Zheng hurriedly put the account book into his arms, put away the abacus, squinted his eyes, and said, "What's the point of being in a hurry?"
"The shopkeeper, Liu Wenqing and Liu Yuanwai are outside, and they want to see something." The waiter hurriedly replied.
"Liu Wenqing? Is that Liu Wenqing from Pingyang Mansion (now in Yuncheng and Linfen, Shanxi)?" Fan Zheng twisted his beard and looked at this waiter with a puzzled expression.
Liu Wenqing of Pingyang Mansion is a juren with a wide network of contacts and some prestige in Pingyang Mansion. Most of the land in the mansion belongs to his family.
In Pingyang Mansion, it is known as Liu Ban's Mansion, the family is extremely wealthy, and a large part of the grain grown by his family is sold to the Fan family, so Fan Zheng also knows his details.
"Back to the shopkeeper, it is Liu Wenqing from Pingyang Mansion." The waiter said affirmatively.
"It's really him, why did he come to Xuanfu all of a sudden." Fan Zheng muttered, then stood up and headed outside.
As soon as Fan Zheng walked into the front hall, Liu Wenqing rushed forward.
"Brother Fan, you are safe and sound." Liu Wenqing said with a smile all over his face.
Liu Wenqing was the recruiter, while Fan Zheng was just a shopkeeper. Logically speaking, Fan Zheng should be the one who flattered Liu Wenqing, but who made Fan Zheng the shopkeeper of the Fan family?In addition, Liu Wenqing came here to ask for something.
"Hehe, it's been a long time, Brother Liu. You're not staying in Pingyang Mansion, why did you come to Xuanfu Town? This distance is not close." Fan Zheng took Liu Wenqing to the back hall, and asked a servant to pour him a cup of tea , asked.
Liu Wenqing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Brother Fan, you can worry me to death these days."
"Oh? Brother Liu, your family's land occupies half of Pingyang Mansion, so why worry about it?" Fan Zheng asked doubtfully.
Liu Wenqing put down his teacup and said anxiously: "Oh, I heard that the thieves from Shaanxi are coming to Shanxi, and Pingyang Mansion and Weinan Mansion in Shaanxi are across the river. If the thieves go to Pingyang Mansion, you think I should What should I do? I heard that these thieves like to rob gentlemen the most."
"Yeah, the banditry in Shaanxi is really serious now." Fan Zheng said without a word as if nothing happened.
"My Brother Fan, if the thieves go to Shanxi and Pingyang Mansion, then wouldn't I become a favorite in their eyes? My family has been accumulated by my ancestors for several generations, so I can't let it go to me. On hand. So, I want to buy some cement from Brother Fan."
Today, the name of cement can be said to have swept the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the mountains and Shanxi.
Fan Zheng looked at the anxious Liu Wenqing, and said with a smile, "My Fan's business seems to sell cement in Pingyang Mansion. You didn't buy it there, so why did you come to Xuan Mansion?"
"Brother Fan, the cement in Pingyang Mansion has been sold out for a long time, and now this cement has been snapped up as soon as it is available.
Although I also robbed some, you also know that my family has a big business, and the cement I robbed is not enough at all.
So, I thought, come to Xuan Manor and go directly to Brother Fan.After all, the place where the cement is produced is here, so it is easier to buy cement. " Liu Wenqing looked at Fan Zheng and said wistfully.
Fan Zheng looked at the anxious Liu Wenqing, and replied, "Brother Liu, you also know that this cement is very popular. Now, I don't have any in stock.
You also know that nowadays banditry continues and the sales of cement are increasing day by day.But the output of cement is so high, there is nothing I can do about it. "
When Liu Wenqing heard this, he immediately became impatient, "Brother Fan, it's impossible that you don't have cement in your hand, you must sell me some. Otherwise, once that thief crosses the Yellow River, I will be doomed ?”
"Brother Fan, you must help me, otherwise, I will really be doomed. The hundreds of people in my family will all be gone. Brother Fan, as long as you can get me cement , money is not a problem, Brother Fan!"
Liu Wenqing looked at Fan Zheng excitedly, wishing he could just kneel down to Fan Zheng.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you also know that this cement is a precious thing nowadays, and it is priceless. I don't know how many people in the whole Shanshan area are looking at the cement eagerly. You said, if everyone ran to Xuan The government came to me to buy cement, so how about this business?" Fan Zheng said with a face of indifference.
"Brother Fan, you can't just ignore death, Brother Fan." Liu Wenqing's face was flushed red, and his face was full of anger.
It is said that Shanxi merchants are masters who only recognize money but not people. I didn't think it before, but I didn't expect it to be true.
Liu Wenqing looked at Fan Zheng who was indifferent, and cursed secretly: "Grandma's are a bunch of cannibals."
Thinking of this, Liu Wenqing snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and was about to go outside.
Fan Zheng looked at the angry Liu Wenqing, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, what are you in a hurry for? I didn't say I won't help you, as long as you agree to one condition, I will agree to you."
A smile appeared on Liu Wenqing's face, and he looked at Fan Zheng excitedly, "Is what Brother Fan said true?"
"When did I tell a lie?"
