Chapter 467 Brother 460 Chapter Seven
"For our shops and merchants in Tianjin, there are many merchants in Shandong and North Zhili, and there are merchants in Henan and further south. There are only a few dozen merchants in Shanxi. Most of the more than 30 shoppers go to Shanxi for shopping. ..."

With Zhang Shiqiang's dull character, he was actually so excited. Obviously, he had made a big discovery. Everyone was listening attentively. Zhang Shiqiang said again:
"The largest Shanxi store in Tianjinwei is Yongsheng Warehouse. Everyone, do you know what the most profitable goods of this Yongsheng Warehouse are?"

"Brother Zhang has such a temperament that he's sold out. It can be seen that this product must surprise adults and me."

Everyone was familiar with each other, and Cai Nan next to him had to get up and say something jokingly. Everyone in the room laughed, and Zhang Shiqiang couldn't help laughing, and then said:
"It's alkali."

Is it alkali?The goods from Shanxi were originally thought to be leather goods, felts, and special products from various places in Shanxi, but they did not expect to be alkali.

The room became quiet all of a sudden. Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect it to be alkali. After several months of business cooperation with Xuanfu, Wang Tong's side can be said to have made a lot of money. We all know that this alkali is a profitable business, and the Sanjiang Commercial Company sent to Xuanfu to set up a point reported that the goods trafficked to the grassland, salt and iron tea are naturally huge profits, this is jointly made by several generals of Xuanfu and the supervisor Yes, can't intervene.

But copperware, sewing needles, cloth, and grain can all be sold at a high price on the grassland. The Li family has a large number of fertile fields in Baoan Prefecture, and the Sanjiang Commercial Bank can directly buy grain and sell it on the grassland.

Not counting these, the Mongolians on the grassland even bought leather boots from Daming. Often after the fur goods were collected, one piece of leather could make several pairs of boots, and one pair of boots could be sold for the price of one piece of leather.

There is a lack of processing capacity on the grassland, and there is a shortage of everything. Everything in the Ming Dynasty is sold there expensively, and there are huge profits. After all, the livestock that can be used for trade is limited, but the Sanjiang Trading Company is open to the acquisition of alkali, which is a matter of convenience. Herdsmen on the prairie sent them here in ox carts.

Needless to say, where the Tianjin Wei Station radiated, even to the south, as the Sanshui King Shen Wang said, their sea ships would come to Tianjin Wei to buy some and transport them back.

Buy it at an extremely low price, and sell it for huge profits. The shopkeeper of Sanjiang Commercial Bank wrote a letter to Tianjin Wei: From Xuanfu to Tianjin, there are roads and rivers, and there are gold and silver on the roads and rivers.

Now this kind of trade has just begun, and it already has such a scale. Everyone is extremely optimistic about what will happen in the future, and it is bound to gain money from Jinshan Yinhai.

Such a big business but did not expect that Yongsheng Warehouse is also doing it, Sun Dahai murmured:
"We earned so much, didn't they lose so much, hundreds of thousands, millions of taels, more than that... No wonder they have to do it..."

"Could it be that they are the only ones who can't make this alkali? Which grocery store doesn't have some of these ordinary goods?"

It was Ma Sanbiao who asked this question. Although he was busy with cavalry drills every day, because his father-in-law was Zhang Chunde, he seemed to understand these things, so he asked this question.

"San Biao is a good question. After finding out about the Yongsheng Warehouse, I immediately went to various large commercial firms in the city and outside the city to inquire. Except for the soil alkali collected here, the bulk of the good alkali is only sold by their family, even in Shandong. If merchants from all over Henan want to buy it, as long as they deliver the silver at Yongsheng, they will send it by water.”

"Walk by water?"

"Yes, take the Yellow River and enter the canal."

It was General Tan who asked this question. Seeing Wang Tong looking over, he said in a deep voice:
"This way of traveling by water, I have never heard of the production of alkali in Shanxi, Shanxi and the south. In all likelihood, it leaves Shanzhou in Shanxi, and then enters the Yellow River and flows down."

Wang Tong nodded. The point of all these incidents is obvious. Cutting off people's wealth is a big hatred. Being robbed of huge profits from alkali trading is a big gain. The combination of big hatred and big benefits is really a murderous intention. of.

"My lord, the person I sent to inquire is clever and familiar, and I found out a lot of things. The alkali in Yongsheng Warehouse was shipped from the north. It is said that the owner of the Yongsheng Warehouse made it in Datong Town. The relationship that Bian Jiang manages..."

"Have you tracked down the whereabouts of those people?"

Hearing this, Wang Tong suddenly interrupted and asked, Zhang Shiqiang was also investigating this matter, Zhang Shiqiang shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"I haven't seen it inside or outside the city. Maybe it came in from outside Tianjin Wei, or maybe it was living in that cart. Now the weather doesn't interfere."

Wang Tong nodded, looked around, stood up and said in a deep voice:

"It doesn't matter if we can't find out what's wrong with it. We've dug up their wealth. Didn't Jinhe Warehouse also have inextricable connections with Uncle Yongsheng's family? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I don't know. I feel like I offended an uncle again."

When the word "uncle" was mentioned, Wang Tong didn't have any worries on his face, instead he showed a smirk. In the capital, it's not that the sons of the Hou family have never been beaten before, and the children of the earl's family were even beaten. Fat was beaten more than once, let alone an earl in Shanxi.

Cai Nan, who had been silent by the side all this time, raised his voice and asked:

"My lord, the owner of the Yongsheng warehouse is that Yongsheng Boyu Yuangang?"

This has just been explained, but I don't know why Cai Nan asked again, Wang Tong frowned and nodded, Cai Nan asked again:
"My lord, is this Uncle Yong Sheng the one whose granddaughter is betrothed to King Lu?"

Just as Wang Tong was about to nod his head, his movements froze there, and the room became quieter. Wang Tong's face became more gloomy. He walked a few steps in the room, stopped, turned around and bowed down to Cai Nan, and said in a solemn voice :
"Thank you, Eunuch Cai, for informing this matter, otherwise you would be reckless."

Yang Sichen was the quickest to react. He glanced at the side, but his face was a bit unsightly. He should have thought of such things, and he should have taken the initiative to remind him, but Cai Nan took the lead.

Although the others didn't quite understand, they knew that they were afraid they couldn't do anything. Ma Sanbiao had a straight temper, but he said it first, and said in a rough voice:
"My lord Wang was assassinated in the street, is this the end of the matter?"

Yang Sichen was not far behind this time, and immediately said:
"Commander Ma, it's not like that's the case, but this matter is too involved. Lord Wang is now His Majesty's minister, and has nothing to do with other people in the court. Lu Wang's Taiyue, Lu Wang is now in the palace again, what will Mr. Wang do, the report said that the assassination was done by Yong Shengbo's family? Now everything is speculation, there is no real evidence, and we really have to investigate it. The empress dowager loves it From the point of view of Lu Wang's mind, it becomes an adult who separates the relationship between the emperor and Lu Wang, and no one can say whether the emperor thinks so."

Wang Tong's face was heavy, and the room was quiet. Tan Jiang coughed, but got up and walked out, opened the door and looked around, and closed it again. Yang Sichen also lowered his voice a little, and continued:

"Although Mr. Wang is a confidant of the Holy Majesty, his subjects are naturally different from his family members. You can't say what the Empress Dowager thinks, or even what the Holy Majesty thinks at that time, but one thing is known, there must be a huge risk."

The room seemed to be a little quieter, Cai Nan looked around, stood up and said solemnly:
"Everyone is our own family, but our family still wants to remind everyone that what I said just now, if even the slightest bit gets out, I'm afraid you will be accused of treason. Please remember to be cautious."

Ma Sanbiao stood there with his mouth wide open, and closed it after a while, but when he sat down, he smashed the coffee table beside him bitterly, and said in a rough voice:

"Is this really the end of the matter?"

Cai Nan and Yang Sichen looked at each other, then at Wang Tong, Cai Nan said in a hoarse voice:

"It's only for a while, adults are young, and everyone is also young and mature, we can afford to wait..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Tong, who had been sullen all the time, clapped his hands resentfully, stood up and said:
"You can't forget it like this. If you want to kill this official, the Sanjiang Commercial Bank will be dismantled. The alkali business is all done by his family. It's easy to think."

"My lord, don't lose the big because of the small..."

"I won't lose the big because of small things, but this Yongsheng uncle's family, don't think about doing this alkali business in Tianjin Wei. Without Tianjin Wei's convenient transportation, he doesn't want to do business in other places except Shanxi. It’s too big to win, mother, grandpa broke your root of making money this time!!”

**************
"Master, the Xuan Mansion has nothing to say. According to the master's order, the price of the goods sold on the grassland will be reduced by [-]%, and the price of good alkali sold in Tianjin Wei will be reduced by [-]%. These have already been posted. "

Gu Zibin reported to Wang Tong, seeing Wang Tong's smile, Gu Zibin said jokingly:

"Master, this is a good idea. If you give up the two tenths, I'm afraid that even the prefectures in western and northern Henan will also buy our alkali. At that time, the alkali from Shanxi will still want to sell a couple of dollars?"

Wang Tong shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"This matter is always unwilling to do so. If you do it with your heart, you will cut off their way of making money."

The price is low, but the sales volume has increased, and the profit has even increased. Wang Tong also understands this. When Gu Zibin pushed it over there, Wang Tong said to Sun Dahai who was standing beside him:
"Have you bought all the shops around Yongsheng's warehouse?"

"I bought them all!"

"What kind of things are secretly transported in, don't be discovered by others, and find someone you can trust to do it."

Sun Dahai quickly bowed and agreed, Wang Tong knocked on the table and said:
"Those ten Fan soldiers, wait to bring them to see me. It's been a few days, and their little ideas should be gone."

"Master, Zhang Baihu has led Shandong Jinyiwei Qianhu Dong Chuangxi to the living room, and sent his subordinates to invite the master."

While he was talking, a guard from outside opened his mouth to announce, Wang Tong was taken aback, and sent someone to Shandong to search for it, but he came to the door himself.
