Chapter 205
Afterwards, Wen Desheng took Zhang Mu to the backyard.
In a spacious courtyard in the backyard, a group of slaves are packing porcelain.
Zhang Mu found that every time they put a layer of porcelain, they would sprinkle a layer of soybeans, and then after the box was enclosed, they began to water it inside.
Zhang Mu asked curiously: "Brother Wen, what are you doing to sprinkle beans in it?"
"Haha, Brother Yan has never walked past the sea, and I don't know. The sea is windy and waves, and even the brig ships are very bumpy. These porcelains are all fragile items. Whether they are wrapped in paper or cotton, they are easily broken. However, after sprinkling soybeans and watering them, the soybeans will sprout in a few days and become bean sprouts. The sprouts will wrap the porcelain firmly, so that they will not be afraid of the wind and waves on the sea." Wen Desheng smiled.
Zhang Mu was stunned when he heard this and sincerely admired the great wisdom of the working people. In such an environment, since such a packaging method could be thought of, it was indeed amazing.
"Where do these porcelains come from?" Zhang Mu asked.
"I ordered people to collect it all over the country. Later, I simply opened a few kilns here and burned some of them myself. Porcelain and silk are the favorites of Japanese pirates. They are always in short supply. Because the transportation costs are high and the prices are higher than other things. I prepared 10,000 guan for you. About a thousand boxes of porcelain. It is packing here, you can go and have a look." Wen Desheng said.
Zhang Mu walked around and found that these porcelains were some exquisite and rough, but Wen Desheng was interested in making profits, so he was naturally very prepared.
Then, Wen Desheng took Zhang Mu to another courtyard, which was filled with gadgets, such as spices, seasonings, wine, vinegar, green salt, animal skin, and medicinal materials.
Only then did Zhang Mu realize that the current seafood is really complete, with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"In the past few years, these things were rarely sent out. After all, they were not worth it. I heard that Japan was fighting wars and everything was scarce, so they could buy some money. Anyway, they had silver. As for the South China Sea, they could also exchange for high-quality jade agate coral. When the King of Tan celebrated his birthday, I paid him a piece of Burmese Jade Buddha, which was more than 6,000 kilograms. The King of Tan liked it very much." Wen Desheng smiled.
Zhang Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. If he had to go to sea goods like this, it would be no longer a huge profit, but a cramp in his hands counting money.
Wen Desheng continued: "The ones in front include thousands of scattered goods here, a total of 40,000 yuan. When you get to the Japanese pirates, you can exchange them for at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver. I believe the Duke of the State should be very satisfied. Don't forget to say a few good words to me in front of the Duke of the State."
"This is certain. Can you forget the well digger when you eat water? To be honest, the Duke of the State was sent out this time, but it was actually just a try-and-see attitude. This matter was done, which solved the Duke of the State's urgent needs. How could the Duke of the State forget your Wen family?" Zhang Mu smiled.
When Wen Desheng heard this, he lowered his voice and said, "In addition, I will give you three thousand stags of silk for free, and you can exchange it for at least ten thousand taels of silver. When the silver is obtained, I will exchange it for you according to the market price. This one is considered a gift from me, my brother, to you."
Zhang Mu was stunned when he heard this.
One tael of silver is exchanged for one tael of silver. Ten thousand taels of silver is equal to ten thousand taels of silver.
What is the concept of 10,000 guan Baochao?
In Yongkang, if you have a wealth of wealth, you will be rich in the country and you will definitely be rich.
The Wen family is so generous that it makes people outrageous.
No wonder they can even handle the local wards. Let me ask. Who wouldn’t want such a large amount of wealth? Is it hot for money?
You can see the success of the Wen family in recent years.
Then, the number of corrupt officials and soldiers in Panshiwei is probably an astronomical number.
The officials in the commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were probably all making a fortune.
After working in the Wen family for so many years, nothing happened. So the parents and officials in Wenzhou would not know at all?
They knew, but they didn't care or even reported the report. So, these local parents and officials in Wenzhou were probably not clean.
Something like corruption is like something rotting.
It was just a wound at the beginning, but when the bacteria slowly spread, it began to ulcerate on a large scale and became uncontrollable.
From the inside to the outside, from the top to the bottom, there are layers of destruction, and no one is spared.
Therefore, when a county official starts to be corrupt, the prefecture will definitely not be clean, and when it comes to the provincial capital, it will not be clean either.
This is why the common saying of the common people - the world is as dark as crows.
The simplest truth is that once corruption becomes an unspoken rule, no one can protect themselves.
Zhang Mu spent many years in the officialdom in his previous life, and he was most familiar with this principle.
If you are not corrupt, then the corrupt leader of your superiors will not dare to use you because he is afraid that you will turn against him one day.
Corruption is like casting a letter.
In such a game rule, you don’t play with others, and others don’t play with you.
The end is either you get out of here or you die, and let those who are willing to abide by the rules of the game come up and play.
Anyway, there are some officials.
Looking at China's vast and brilliant history, there are very few officials who have been counting, but corrupt officials have emerged one after another in the past dynasties, especially when a dynasty moves from its peak to decline, these corrupt officials stand on the stage of history again and again, ruining the fate of this dynasty.
"Brother Yan feels dissatisfied?" Wen Desheng asked.
Zhang Mu hurriedly shook his head and said, "I really don't dare to understand what Brother Wen said, such friendship. I know my good intentions, but if it's the money, forget it."
Wen Desheng smiled and said, "Where is what Brother Yan said? This little money is my Wen family's intention. If you go to sea goods, my Wen family can be said to be a big family here. But you have not been able to do business in the north yet. In the future, you have to give me more advice from Brother Yan. You must accept this little hard money, otherwise I will not be able to go back and hand in the office?"
Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will make an exception. Thank you, Brother Wen."
When Wen Desheng saw Zhang Mu accepting it, a stone in his heart also fell to the ground. He smiled and said, "There are all people there, why are you polite?"
At first, he thought Zhang Mu was not easy to deal with, but after collecting the money, he said something else.
Chapter completed!
