Chapter 94 The Huge Hidden Benefits in Shuixi County

As the saying goes, the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round. However, the moon on August [-]th this year should not be visible. When I woke up in the morning, there was a light rain outside the window, and it was still faint when it was blown by the wind Moisture drifted in.

There are several banana trees behind the inn. After the fan leaves are soaked by the rain, the jasper is as new as the leaves. Drops of water drip from the tip of the leaves, and when they fall to the ground, a small water vortex is splashed, making a "tick, tick" sound .

Du Ruo closed the window and concealed a small gap. He could vaguely see the steam from the steamed stuffed bun shop in the alley in the distance. Occasionally, three or two pedestrians hurried past. He held a book in his hand and read it seriously.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, and Heitou's voice came: "My lord, Chief Escort Yu is here."

Du Ruo put down the book in his hand, got up and opened the door.

Yu Chen came alone, and he didn't wear the uniform of Heshan Academy, but changed into Zhu Ziyi, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Du, please excuse me."

Du Ruo bowed his hand to return the salute, and said, "Brother Yu, please come in, have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, I'll ask someone to prepare some."

"Eat, eat," Yu Chen said, "I ate it on the way when I came here."

"Please sit down." Du Ruo stretched out his hand to ask Yu Chen to sit down, and asked, "Brother Yu came to see me so early, is there something important?"

Yu Chen quietly glanced at Heitou, and said in a low voice: "Brother Du, I took the liberty to visit because of the business deal I talked about with Brother Du last night... I wonder if Brother Du can discuss it conveniently."

Du Ruo looked at Heitou standing beside him, poured another cup of tea for Yu Chen, and said, "Brother Yu, but it's okay, Heitou is not an outsider, and everything I help will go through his hands."

Yu Chen nodded and said, "Then I'll just say it straight, Brother Du, do you know what is the most abundant item in the Jianghu in your Fengyang County?"

Du Ruo thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be weapons. Fengyang County not only has several imperial arsenals, but also many aristocratic families that rely on selling weapons. There is a family of weapons."

"That's right," Yu Chen said, "it's the weapons. Fengyang County's weapons are not only produced in a large amount, but also of very good quality. Many weapons from the great schools come from Fengyang County. Even my Feihe Escort Bureau Every time I buy weapons, I come to Fengyang County to buy them."

Du Ruo took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Yu wants to start a weapon business with me, I'm afraid this will disappoint Brother Yu. My Juyi Gang doesn't know how to produce weapons, nor can I get production from the court." paperwork."

"No, no, no," Yu Chen held the teacup, put it gently on the table, and said, "Brother Du, the Juyi Gang doesn't know how to produce weapons, but they can get them. Moreover, your Juyi Gang is in Fenghuang In Yangjun, the weapons we bought are much cheaper than what we bought, you must know that you can’t buy them in many places, if you want to sell them, you can sell them at a high price. "

Du Ruo frowned, and said: "Brother Yu, you are smuggling. If the government finds out, you will be jailed or even beheaded. You can't do anything like this."

Yu Chen put the teacup away, and said, "That's the end of the story, and I won't beat around the bush anymore. To be honest, Brother Du, I have several big businesses in my hands, and they are long-term suppliers. But, you know, Not to mention that it is very difficult for the government to pass this large amount of weapons sales, even if it is passed, the price is not affordable for ordinary people."

"Let me settle an account with you. For example, some time ago, my Feihe Escort bought 3000 hundred forging knives at Wu's house in Fengyang City. It cost a total of nearly [-] taels of silver. There are customs duties in the government. Handling fee, and a large shipping fee.”

"However, in fact, if you just buy it at Wu's house, it will cost less than 1000 taels. If you can negotiate a long-term business, there will even be a discount. After all, 850 taels may be enough. It cost 2000 taels!"

Although Du Ruo didn't have any expression on his face, he couldn't help but clenched the hand holding the teacup a little bit, wondering: "Is there really such a big profit margin?"

"Of course," Yu Chen said helplessly, "Brother Du, you are a full man and don't know a hungry man. Your Juyi Gang is in Fengyang County, and there is a family of weapons in the next county, so naturally you don't know the suffering of us people. "

For those who are in the rivers and lakes, weapons are naturally indispensable, especially for big gangs, the consumption of weapons is a lot of expenses, such as the Juyi Gang, which buys at least two hundred hundred forging knives and some other weapons every year, but before Du Ruo really didn't pay much attention to this issue, because the Juyi Gang's annual weapon consumption was at most only 1000 taels of silver.

Yu Chen saw that Du Ruo was a little tempted, and continued: "Brother Du, let me tell you the truth, Linzhong County and Fengyang County seem to be far apart, but Brother Du, you have a natural advantage. That's the waterway."

"Let me tell you frankly, if it wasn't for this chance to meet in Jinling, we would meet sooner or later. I have already gone to Fengyang County to investigate, and the most suitable place is only your Shuixi County, where the Fengling River runs across. , leading directly to Fushui, and passing through Linzhong County on the way.”

"Among Fengyang County, Shuixi County is the only one that can directly reach Linzhong County by water. It just so happens that Brother Du has a pier in your hand. You have land and a boat. This business is worthy of your profit."

Du Ruo smiled slightly, neither refusing nor agreeing, but gave Yu Chen another cup of tea, and said with a light smile, "Brother Yu, don't worry, have a cup of tea, let's talk slowly."

Yu Chen suddenly felt a helpless feeling of punching the cotton, and was a little depressed, but at least he didn't explicitly refuse, which made him feel a little bit of expectation. He took a sip of tea and said, "I know Brother Du and I know each other." Soon, I don't know much about this subordinate, and I may still have some mistrust, but I believe that as long as Brother Du gives me time, he will definitely believe me."

Du Ruo smiled and said: "Brother Du, how can you say that? It is fate that you and I met, and Brother Yu is still acting out of righteousness. I have no reason not to trust you. I just have some doubts and would like to ask Brother Yu for advice."

Yu Chen hurriedly said: "Brother Du, it's okay to say."

"Brother Yu mentioned the geographic location, I am very clear about it. If you want to do this business, Shuixi County is definitely the best place. However, Brother Yu, there are three piers in Shuixi County, and there are also Nanshan Gang and Zhongxin Gang. Dock, compared to these two gangs, my Juyi Gang has the weakest background, logically speaking, Brother Yu shouldn't be looking for me if he wants to find a partner, right?"

"Besides, with the strength of Brother Yu's Feihe Escort, even if he comes to Shuixi County to occupy half of the sky, no one can do anything about it. I believe that Feihe Escort still has this strength."

　If it's not what I expected, it should be on the shelves soon, everyone remember to support the genuine version at that time, alas, let's not talk about recommendations, it's all tears!
