Poor family mother and son

Chapter 293
Borrowing the name of Ping Jian is not Xiaobao's temporary idea.

First of all, he can't use Chu Qing's name to wander around and bring trouble to his mother.

When he came to Jiangnan, he knew that his mother was not only well known, but at least well-known in the business circle. Of course, it was not a good reputation. Who told her mother to suppress the price of silk.

The thing that made her mother famous the most was Cotton.

Jiangnan has a history of trying to grow cotton. Young people may not know it, but older people have this memory, especially farmers, because it is a memory that makes them hungry.

Grain fields were converted into cotton fields but there was no output, and the losses were passed on to the aristocratic families in the end, and those who really had no food were farmers.

Nowadays, common people know that cotton can not only grow, but also make money. It was made by a female agricultural official.

Secondly, borrowing the name of Ping Key is also a test of Ping Key.

To say that Xiaobao is not completely relieved of the flat key.

Just imagine, a person can open a shipbuilding workshop and an escort agency within a few years without causing too much trouble. Is it credible to say that this person has no ability at all?
But Yu Chaoyi didn't talk about Ping Jian in detail, and Ping Jian himself kept silent, so it was not easy to understand the depth of this person.

If he was willing to let Xiaobao borrow his name, it would at least show that he was capable of carrying through some small troubles, or at least he showed that he was sincerely cooperative.

"Master Guan's surname, the two orphans have their own names, which means that they already have memories when they were adopted by King Qianji," Xiaobao said to Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining in private.

Xiao Sining: "To have a memory, you have to be over three years old, you know something."

Xiaobao thought about his own experience, as if he could remember earlier.

"You guys find a way to inquire, see what you can find, and don't let people find out." Xiaobao instructed.

"Qian Dashun" and "Qian Ershun" nodded to record, and then suggested: "San Shun, the Escort's store has been reorganized, let's go and have a look."

Now that the Sanshun Escort has changed its surname, it will naturally be different than before.

After ten days of overtime repairs, the Escort now looks much better than the previous simple style.

I saw four large characters on the plaque at the entrance of the main hall, "Across the World"; a pair of brand-new couplets on the plaque with gold characters on a black background are treed on both sides. Prosperous up to the Three Rivers".

It can be said that the atmosphere of business is quite strong.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, on the weapon racks on both sides of the courtyard, there are spears, halberds, sticks, battle-axes, forks, boring, hooks, lances, and ge; knives, swords, crutches, axes, whips, maces, hammers, sticks, and pestles; Nine short and eighteen kinds of weapons are neatly arranged on it, and the cold light is shining.

It can be said that the value of force is obvious.

On the wall on the left side of the courtyard, the [-]-style relief of Bodhidharma Yijinjing is outlined in gold lacquer, and the names of moves such as "Wei Tuo Presenting the Pestle" and "Horizontal Arm Subduing the Demon Pestle" are vigorously written.

In Daxuan, where Buddhism is not prosperous, this kind of martial arts is not widely spread, but the Sanshun Escort even engraved the "Yi Jin Jing" on the wall, and advertised it widely, highlighting the strength of the Escort, and it is not afraid of coveted by the world.

On the right side of the courtyard wall is a relief picture of "Ancient Baduanjin", which also spreads the way of health preservation, and adds a sense of affinity while demonstrating the force of the Escort Bureau.

Enshrined in the main hall is a full-body portrait of Guan Gong in standing posture: Danfeng with half-drowned eyes, not angry and majestic, two feet long on the sideburns, fat lips, and a dignified appearance; it highlights the mighty, refined and literary temperament.

Yanyue Dao swings the knife downward, with smooth lines, and the blue dragon on the body of the knife is vividly and majestic.

The portrait of this general is both safe and rich, which can be described as the embodiment of "grasping with both hands and being strong with both hands".

During this period of time, all those who came and went to do business in Nanping County knew that the young owner of the Sanshun Escort Bureau had come here to "visit relatives".

People who came to Sanshun Escort Agency to do business would always see a tall, thin young man in a student robe, following behind two big brothers, very shy.

"Master, this is the manifest to be sent to Kyoto, please take a look." Yu Chaoyi came with a stack of papers, followed by a man dressed as a housekeeper.

Chu Yuan took the bill of lading and saw that it said "Today there are a thousand pieces of Tushan black glazed porcelain..." but he couldn't understand anything, so he asked, "What's the problem?"

Yu Chaoyi said with a little hesitation: "It is required to transport it to Kyoto in one month. The time is too tight. We need to go by water first, and then change to land. The road is bumpy, but a thousand pieces of porcelain are all with different patterns. Do not destroy..."

From here to Kyoto, forty days is considered embarrassing. The water route is faster than the land route, but no matter how fast it is, you can't fly!

Besides, not a single piece of porcelain can be damaged. This requirement is a bit too much. It must be fast and not accept losses. Isn’t this letting the horses run and not eat grass?Aren't they ready to order some substitutes in stock?

Chu Yuan looked at the payment method: cash on delivery, this is really embarrassing.

Xiao Sining was looking at the appendix of the invoice. On it was the name of the porcelain. In addition to the plate, there were also teapots with tortoiseshell glaze, vases with rust flowers, and tea cups with rabbit hair glaze... There are many kinds.

This is a light but very space-consuming cargo, which is afraid of shocks and knocks. If there is any loss, it is not only a problem of non-payment, but also a high compensation.

"San Shun, what do you think?" Chu Yuan looked at Xiao Bao, wanting to follow his opinion, who can take over this job, and our family won't take over.

But obviously, Yu Chaoyi still values ​​the final price of this business.

According to the invoice, this batch of black glazed porcelain is worth millions of taels of silver, so according to the charging standard stipulated by the imperial court: "For every thousand taels of silver sent, you will get four taels of profit, and the amount of profit will be calculated according to the total amount."The Escort will receive a fee of 500 taels.

This is indeed a big deal.

But the merchants said that if one piece is damaged, they have to pay three times the compensation, because this batch of goods is to be sent to the mansion of a certain state in Kyoto, so each porcelain is not the same, and it will not be possible to make up for it. If they come out the same, they will bear the anger of the Duke's Mansion.

A thousand pieces of porcelain are worth a million taels, and each piece is worth a thousand taels of silver, three times that is 3000 taels.

"No." Xiao Bao said.

Both Xiao Sining and Chu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

In their view, this kind of money is really hard to earn.

Chu Qing's boss has always been doing business with small capital and big profits, and looking at this, not only will it cost manpower and material resources, but it may even be life-threatening. The key is not to make money!

The fastest way to go back and forth is one month, and I only earn 500 taels a month. Even if one dish is damaged by such a "squeamish" dart, the 3000 taels will be gone. You have to pay 500 taels.

Besides, he said it was worth millions?This is porcelain, not silver. There is a cost price and a transaction price. The price difference is so different, why let the escort agency bear it?

Even if you fail to sell things to the Duke's government, it won't prevent you from making a lot of money, right?It's really a person who looks ugly but wants to be beautiful!
