Chapter 251 Southern Pony
Zheng Shuisheng is a professional talent. From Quanzhou to Penghu to Jinmi Island, the sea conditions along the way are more familiar. He knows about the seasons where there are typhoons and the seasons where there are heavy storms. He is considered a rare talent.
Chao Gai was very happy: "I am very happy that Shuisheng can come. But the money and food cannot be higher than this one trip. From now on, you will be the pilot of the First Fleet. The annual silver is 180 taels, and the bonus is calculated separately."
Zheng Shuisheng gave a deep gift: "The villain does not seek money, but only makes righteous for the adults. The villain started to board the boat and run to the sea since he was in his teens. He has been in contact with many big and small owners. Most people only think about how to make money and how to be glorious. Only Lord Chao thinks about others mentally, for others. The villain lives in vain for the first half of his life, and he also learns from the adults in the second half of his life to help more people."
Chao Gai was overjoyed: "Hahaha, Shui Sheng said it well. Since that's the case, you have joined. Go to Mizhou Port to complete the procedures for you, and you are your own people."
After Chao Gai said that, he took people back to the cabin, and everyone looked at Zheng Shuisheng with envious eyes.
Zheng Shuisheng looked up and down at himself, and there was nothing strange about him.
"What are you staring at me?"
"Zheng Barbarian is lucky, your treatment is amazing."
"The annual silver price is 180 taels, it's okay. I'm taking a boat in Quanzhou. This is the same number."
An old sailor from Jeju shook his head: "You are wrong, it's completely different. Our Ruan fleet has only more than 200 taels of silver in the long run. But the dividend at the end of the year is two or three thousand taels. Your treatment will be more than 1,000 taels at the end of the year. What's more, our fleet is treated so well. You don't have to spend a penny when you eat, dress, get medicine when you are sick. When you go to school, you will give me some money when you can't work in the future.
Zheng Shuisheng was overjoyed. It was really great. It was really great to have such good treatment.
After wandering for half a lifetime, I am now in my thirties, and finally settled down.
Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said, "We will be partners in the future. Usually you have to take a few apprentices when you are fine. We are still responsible for training talents for the Second Fleet. We are not willing to hide our own private interests."
"Don't worry, the fleet captain, I will definitely not hide my own personalities, but this matter also depends on talent. Those with talent are easier to learn, while those without talent are difficult to learn."
When I returned, the fleet was still passing through Penghu and Fujian. I received a large purchase order, including 300 buffaloes and 500 donkeys, and the goods were in stock. I asked for health and illness and had a special shipping ship.
Ordinary commercial banks cannot take on such business, but there are maritime businesses that specialize in large-scale livestock business.
Fujian and Lingnan are rainy and the climate is relatively hot, and rice is mainly grown, so there are many buffaloes. The price of buffaloes is not expensive, about 30 stakes per head.
The news had just been sent for a long time. In the evening, Chao Gai was chatting with Deng Fei in the guest room. The guard at the door came to report: "Sir, the people from the Chen Family Trading Company have come and said there is something to talk about."
"Oh, Chen Family Store, please come in quickly."
The Chen family in Quanzhou, a local hero, said that they were the eldest brother from the sailing process. The Chen family has more than ten lucky ships, traveling to the South and the East, and is rich.
After a while, a young man came in, in his twenties, with a medium figure, wearing ordinary silk clothes and a pair of cowhide slippers under his feet.
A housekeeper in his forties was also dressed up in an ordinary manner.
Wearing slippers in the north gives people the impression of being lazy and lazy. However, wearing slippers near Penghu and Quanzhou is standard, because the weather is hot, it is uncomfortable to wear cloth shoes or leather shoes, and it is not as refreshing as slippers.
The young one is Mr. Chen San, and behind him is his shopkeeper, Mr. Liu.
"Officer Chao is worse than being famous than meeting. I'm lucky to meet."
Chao Gai returned the gift: "You are polite, everyone, sit down."
The guests and hosts sat down and came up with fragrant tea.
After chatting for a few casual words, Mr. Chen San said, "Officiale Chao, I can provide the buffaloes and donkeys purchased by your business. I can transport them to Penghu within half a month."
"Oh, that's good. Although there are many commercial banks in Penghu, it's really not good to build a commercial bank with large animals. However, shipping large animals is a very professional thing. It requires a specialized large ship to facilitate the transfer of livestock. I wonder if your commercial bank can provide it."
"Don't worry, our family has three livestock boats, which can be transported in one go. The buffalo is not to be said to be local cattle in the nearby mountainous areas. They are heat-resistant, have great strength and have a good temper. However, the donkey is a donkey from Guilin County. It is only more than 300 kilograms in size, and its strength is slightly worse. The farmland is relatively barely enough, but it is still OK to pull a cart."
The buffalo is larger in size and strong in northern oxen. Generally, it is enough to plow a cow in the paddy fields. However, the southern donkey is much smaller than the northern donkey, only half the size of the northern donkey, and is a small donkey.
"Oh, it's a problem. There are donkeys here. If so, let's go and take a look."
"There are quite a lot of donkeys that pull carts on Penghu Street are sold by us. There are dozens of small donkeys in the store, so the great official can go over and take a look."
"Okay, the third young master will come later. I will call the shopkeeper and go over and take a look."
After a while, Chao Gai called the shopkeeper and the group left the Antong Escort Agency. It was only a few miles away, and it was the Chen Family Trading Company.
In addition to doing overseas trade, the Chen family also does business with carriages and horses. Most of the donkey carts in Penghu County are managed by Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen is a talented man. He rents donkeys and cars to coachmen, which is similar to a taxi model. When the coachman gets the car, he looks like a boss. In fact, he has to worry about money every day when he opens his eyes.
If the donkey accidentally gets sick, it will be troublesome. Not only will it not only make money, but it will also cost money.
"Please come from the official Chao."
Mr. Chen led Chao Gai and others into the backyard, and the mercenary Nick led people to guard outside.
There is a livestock railing in the backyard, inside which dozens of donkeys are walking back and forth to eat grass.
Chao Gai couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, and said with a smile: "This is the big sheep, at most 300 kilograms."
It is just the size of a small-tailed cold sheep in Jeju Prefecture.
Mr. Chen was helpless: "This is a breed of small donkeys. It can't grow up, but there is no need to say about working. Those who pull carts on the street are all such donkeys. If you want to be stronger, there will be horses there."
Chao Gai looked around and saw more than a dozen horses locked in the fence. This horse is really short, smaller than a grassland horse, with a shoulder height of one meter to one meter one meter, but his body is thick and it seems to be worth about five hundred pounds.
The coat color is also very good, including white and maroon.
