Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

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?"

Fan Zheng picked up the teacup on the table and said with a smile: "Is this my condition? It's not difficult to achieve. It depends on whether you are willing or not, Brother Liu."

"Brother Fan, as long as you can solve the cement problem for me, let alone one condition, I will agree to ten." Liu Wenqing said firmly.

"The condition is very simple, that is, mortgage one-third of your land to me. As long as you give me the land, not only will I not ask you for a copper coin, but I will also send you the cement to Pingyang Mansion for free."

As soon as Fan Zheng finished speaking, Liu Wenqing jumped up. His eyes widened and he pointed at Fan Zheng incredulously, "What? What are you talking about? You want one-third of my land? Are you kidding me? "

"Where am I joking with you? What I said is true."

Liu Wenqing looked at Fan Zheng's calm expression, and cursed secretly: "I'm going to the ancestors, this is not just taking advantage of the fire, it's open robbery at all."

Even though I said that, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. The bandits were about to come to Shanxi. If they didn't build the village by then, they would be looted by the bandits.

But if the land is given away, wouldn't it be a pity to sell the land to the grandfather?These lands have been the property of the Liu family for hundreds of years, and it would be a shame to the ancestors to sell even an acre of land.

Liu Wenqing sat down on the chair again, with an uncertain expression on his face.

Fan Zheng sipped his tea.

To be honest, Fan Zheng was not worried that Liu Wenqing would disagree.

Others didn't know Liu Wenqing well, but Fan Zheng knew him very well.

Although Liu Wenqing loves money, he loves his own life even more.

Especially since he also has a nephew who is on duty in the palace.

Now, his nephew has made quite a name in the palace.

And Liu Wenqing is the only relative of his nephew, so every year he can get a lot of things from his nephew.

The one-third of the land that Fan Zheng wanted seemed a lot, but to Liu Wenqing, it was just that.

Liu Wenqing also has a way to get back the one-third of the land that is going to be taken away within half a year.

With the name of his nephew, those lands are almost at hand.

In the past few years, the drought has continued, the grain production has decreased, and the grain grown is getting less and less every year.Naturally, the benefits are getting lower year by year.

Although many of the world in Liu Wenqing's hands are good paddy fields, there are also many dry lands.

Nowadays, the value of dry land is not as good as every year. Instead of wasting it in his own hands, it is better to give it to Fan Zheng in exchange for cement.

Liu Wenqing kept thinking about it, and after a long time, he said, "One-third of the land is really too much, how about one-sixth?"

"One-sixth? You want to replace cement with one-sixth? Is that impossible?"

"What about a fifth?"

"A minimum of one quarter, otherwise there will be no discussion."

"Okay, then a quarter!" Liu Wenqing patted the table and said loudly.

Fan Zheng put down his teacup and said, "Well, follow me to Longmen Fort tomorrow. The cement is produced there."

"Row!"

……

The night was sultry, and the entire garrison was full of joy.

The front yard of the Garrison Mansion was already filled with tables, and countless servants were busy among them.

Zhao Wen was standing at Li Xiaoying's door, patting the door with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoying, come out, it's so lively tonight, why don't you come out?" Zhao Wen said with a smile on his face, holding a gold hairpin in his hand.

"Hmph, what am I going out for? I'm not married to you, so I won't go out." Li Xiaoying's aggrieved and angry voice came from the room.

Zhao Wen touched the tip of his nose, and said with embarrassment: "What happened today is just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Come out for a while, and see what I bought for you? Come out and have a look."

Zhao Wen gently shook the gold hairpin in his hand, making a pleasant sound.

"If I don't go out, I just won't go out." Li Xiaoying said angrily.

"If you don't come out, then open the door for me. If you don't go out, I'll go in." Zhao Wentian said indifferently with a straight face.

"I won't open it for you. If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I won't go out."

"You won't let me in, how can I explain to you?"

"I do not care."

"Hey, I don't believe it yet." Zhao Wen rolled up his sleeves, spit on his hands, and leaned directly on the door.

"Huh, drink!"

Zhao Wen took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and leaned directly towards the door.

At this moment, the door was opened from the inside.

Although Li Xiaoying was very angry about what happened today, she believed that it was not Zhao Wen's fault.

No matter how stupid Li Xiaoying was, it was impossible not to see the strangeness in today's incident.

Besides, Li Xiaoying is also a person who understands the general situation and knows how to measure.

Because of a trivial matter, it's okay to quarrel with Zhao Wen, and it can even add a lot of fun to the boring life.

But if you don't know how to measure and don't know how to advance and retreat, then you are suspected of being arrogant.

Li Xiaoying, who is familiar with poetry and books, knows that doing so is not a long-term solution at all.

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen who was leaning over with a dazed expression, and let out a cry.

Zhao Wen didn't have time to react, and he lay on Li Xiaoying's body directly, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

Fortunately, there is a carpet on the floor, otherwise, it would be really unbearable.

Li Xiaoying was lying on the ground, Zhao Wen was lying on Li Xiaoying's body, his right hand was still on Li Xiaoying's chest.

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen's right hand and said coquettishly, "Ah, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Zhao Wen looked at his right hand with embarrassment, and hurriedly stood up from the ground.

"Didn't you say you won't open the door?" Zhao Wen rubbed his hands and said with a sneer.

Li Xiaoying stood up from the ground, patted her clothes, and gave Zhao Wen a blank look, "Do I dare not open the door for the guard?"

"Xiaoying, what are you talking about? What do you think it is?" Zhao Wen smiled and took out the gold hairpin from his bosom.

As soon as Li Xiaoying saw the gold hairpin in Zhao Wen's hand.Laughing eyes are narrowed.

"How do you know that I like this Golden Butterfly Cicada Wing Hairpin?" Li Xiaoying snatched the gold hairpin from Zhao Wen, and said excitedly.

This gold hairpin was originally the treasure of the jewelry shop outside Longmen Fort, Li Xiaoying liked this gold hairpin for a long time.However, after seeing the price of this golden hairpin, I was reluctant to buy it.

Now that Longmen Fort is in the midst of waste, the cost of silver is very high, and every tael of silver has to be accounted for before spending. Li Xiaoying is reluctant to buy such an expensive hairpin.

Zhao Wen chuckled, glanced at Zhao Xiaoni who was standing outside the door and peeking in secretly, and said with a smile, "Who am I? How can I not know you? Isn't it just a few hundred taels of silver? I bought it for you."

"However, this hairpin is too expensive. Our Longmen Castle's silver is hard to come by. Isn't it a bit too wasteful to buy this hairpin?" Li Xiaoying looked at the hairpin longingly, and said weakly.

Zhao Wen patted his chest and said with a smile, "Who am I? I'm the guard of Longmen Fort. If I'm poor, no one can be poor for my own wife, right?"

Li Xiaoying said coquettishly: "Who is your wife, shameless, I haven't married you yet."
