Chapter 1024 Fanaticism
Since North Korea has a large market with a population of nearly 10 million, the continued prosperity will definitely last for more than a year or two. At that time, we can send a group of people to use the local mules, horses and vehicles of North Korea to test the waters.
If everything goes well, then transfer a small amount of rubber carts to the Kingdom of Korea to see the specific operation. If everything goes well, you can expand your business to Mongolia.
And Lin Yalan saw Wu Menghui excitedly slapped her thighs and immediately smiled: "Uncle Menghui, one hundred vehicles are of course far from enough. With the large market of North Korea and Mongolia, you are not enough to order 500 rubber ** cars! Others think that this wave of prosperity is the result of the rest and recuperation of the governor, but I think it is entirely because of opening up the market of North Korea and Mongolia."
Wu Menghui was happy, but he still insisted on his opinion: "The Governor and Governor have definitely made great contributions to the rest of the country. Not to mention anything else, so many officers and soldiers who have come back to visit relatives now have the Governor and Governor and Governor gave them a long holiday..."
The actual reason is that Wu Menghui has had a lot of contact with senior military generals because of the problem of rubber carts during this period, so he can know some inside information that ordinary people don’t know at all. According to the information provided by the military, the military expenditure accounted for a surprisingly high proportion of military expenditure in the entire Haibei Town, so he has never dared to disclose it to ordinary people who promoted to fight.
Since Haibei Town intervened in the Liaodong war in the first year of Tianqi, the proportion of military expenditure in the Haibei Army's fiscal expenditure has never been less than 60%. Sometimes the war is urgent and even more than 70%. In fact, there is no difference from the militant military soldiers. If Haibei Town has obtained some unexpected huge income from various technological advances, it may have already crossed Taiwan directly or had large-scale civilian changes.
However, even the senior generals of the Haibei Army had to admit that such a high proportion of military expenditure was abnormal and must be reduced appropriately. Liu Peng privately stated that during this period of rest and recuperation, he should try his best to rest with the people and keep richer than the people, and as much as possible, the proportion of military expenditure in fiscal expenditure dropped to less than 50%.
Although the proportion of about 50% is still a very high, it is much "thrifty" than the proportion of military expenditure of at least 60% to 70%.
It is precisely because of the strategic shift of the Haibei Army that many public works that have temporarily stopped since the first year of the Tianqi period may show signs of re-launch. Whether it is the government, the gentry, or ordinary people who are promoted to the Dou Dou, they have money all of a sudden, so their business is so prosperous.
Therefore, in Wu Menghui's eyes, although the large market between North Korea and Mongolia is very important, the most important factor is Liu Peng's policy of resting with the people.
But Lin Yalan disagrees with his opinion: "Although there are hundreds or thousands of Haibei officers and soldiers who go home to visit relatives now, you have to think about how much business you have lost in this regard! It turns out that you have to transport how much rice, beans, money, grain, gunpowder and lead to Liaodong. Anyway, the materials on the Liaodong front are not transported by you in addition to this section at sea..."
This is indeed true. Although the Haibei Army has maintained high-intensity training, their urgent demand for military supplies has suddenly dropped. Wu Menghui estimated that Shandong and Liaodong had lost at least a thousand vehicles in a month.
But he told Lin Yalan another point: "This is wrong. The military has lost more than a thousand car business, but there are at least two thousand car business among the people. This is all the credit for the rest and rest of the governor..."
In fact, Wu Menghui did not tell the truth to Lin Yalan. It was not that he had at least two thousand cars added, but that he had increased his business by at least four thousand cars in a month, and this was the business that Wu Menghui could take over.
Due to too many orders, Wu Menghui could only give priority to taking care of the old customers and several business transactions with high profits. At least a few thousand or even tens of thousands of cars flew away from Wu Menghui's eyes every month.
Lin Yalan did not notice the lies in Wu Menghui's words. She was still arguing with Wu Menghui: "Uncle Menghui, isn't the extra 2,000 car business all because of the opening of Mongolia and North Korea markets? Now which business in Haibei Town will have no contact with North Korea and Mongolia!"
Lin Yalan's words make some sense, but Wu Menghui felt that North Korea and Mongolia did not seem to have so many orders, but he was no longer willing to argue with Lin Yalan: "Yalan, what's the matter for you to come to Longkou to find your adopted father this time? You just reminded you very well. If things are not difficult to handle, I will help you do the work!"
But Lin Yalan shook her head and said, "Uncle Meng Hui, this matter is very difficult to handle. I may not be able to handle it myself, let alone you!"
Wu Menghui thought Lin Yalan's words were very interesting, but he also knew that although Lin Yalan's sister-in-law was alone and never married, she was considered a little energy-rich person in Haibei Town. Even if she couldn't solve the common things herself, she would come forward to ask Zeng Jianhui and Xu Qiaozhi for help, and most of the time she could do it perfectly.
Now that Lin Yalan can find it very difficult, Wu Menghui felt it was not a trivial matter: "Just say hello if you need any uncle's help!"
"Well, thank you Uncle Meng Hui!"
Wu Menghui laughed: "You are very familiar with Mrs. Qiaozhi. No matter how difficult it is, if Mrs. Qiaozhi and Miss Disguise come forward, it will definitely be possible! When you arrive at the Tang Family Guild Hall, I will send you there!"
Although Zeng Jianhui also has his own house in Longkou, he mostly operates in the old Tangjia store. Strictly speaking, he operates in the Longkou main store of the old Tangjia store. Although this Longkou main store is open to the public, it has gradually become a place where businessmen and big people talk big business, and has become a semi-closed small circle.
Ordinary people have no way to enter the private guild hall behind Longkou Main Store, but Wu Menghui is not an "ordinary person". Although he hasn't come for several months, the guild's staff is extremely enthusiastic about him: "Shopkeeper Wu, you are here. Our boss Tang has been remembering you all this time. Is this girl? It turns out that she is Mr. Zeng's daughter. Mr. Zeng is in the east hall. I will take you there!"
Before entering the east hall, Zeng Jianhui and Lin Yalan had already smelled the smell of money. Although the sound was not loud, the guild hall was often talking about thousands of big businesses. Any inconspicuous guy was picked up here, and there were people with wealthy people outside, talking about various transactions in the southeast, west and north.
But Wu Menghui never expected that these people's topics would become so bold: "When will the country send troops to Jiangnan? I'll wait for this day!"
"Yes, whoever beat Jiangning Mansion to the first one, I'm willing to pay 5,000 yuan!"
"It's only five thousand yuan, so stingy. I'll pay ten thousand to work hard!"
During this period, Zeng Jianhui has been busy with business in the carriages. He never dreamed that the Haibei businessman who was extremely timid and afraid of things a few months ago has become so violent and bold. He always acts as "country" and "uses troops", as if he doesn't know what he is saying.
Could it be that the Tang Family Guild Hall has changed people? Zeng Jianhui glanced at it and found that it was not the change people, but his old friends. It was just like he was injected with chicken blood. He either wanted Haibei Town to send troops to Jiangnan or to cut off the canal, or occupy the former land of the Jurchens in Haixi, and completely open up the connection with Mongolia.
Governor Liu has already decided to rest and rest, believing that military affairs should be stopped within a year and a half. Why are these big merchants who are most afraid of war and the leading figures in Haibei Town becoming more fanatical now?
No wonder Lin Yalan has that view. She is very powerful in Haibei Town and has a wide range of friendships. She will definitely be influenced by these upper-class people!
So he smiled and said, "Mr. Governor and Governor have finally decided to rest. Why do you want to use a knife and a gun? You either hit Nanjing or open a seal? You really think that there is no one in the detective team!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone responded to him: "Brother, I have no choice. If I don't attack Jiangning Mansion or open Feng Mansion, I will have no way to survive!"
Zeng Jianhui glanced at it, but found that this person was nothing but Ping Tongfeng, a big boss in Yanzhou who made mountain products. It is said that he was a sworn brother with Commissioner Ding Gong. He immediately laughed: "Others have no way to live, I believe it. Boss Ping, you have no way to go, I absolutely don't believe it!"
Why don’t you believe it? Of course, it’s because Ding Gong is at its peak in Yanzhou. Pingtongfeng’s life is also very happy, but Pingtongfeng has his own opinion. He immediately said: “Lao Zeng, you think my business is good, but the problem is that at least 60% of my daily business is in Liaodong. Now, Liaodong has suddenly dropped to less than 20%. Tell me, how can I live!" ""
He said it was rather vague, but everyone present knew that the so-called "business in Liaodong" actually refers to orders from the military and Haibei Town official. Ping Tongfeng has unique advantages in this regard, so the impact on the transformation is also the biggest.
But everyone knows that what Ping Tongfeng said is very different from the reality. In fact, Ping Tongfeng's life is still quite enjoyable, and his inventory has long been transferred. But the problem is that Boss Ping, who used to call the wind and rain in Yanzhou, was unable to react at the first time. Not only did he suffer considerable losses, but he failed to make excess profits in Haibei Town's strategic transformation.
In the past, Ping Tongfeng always believed that he was the leading big business in Yanzhou, but this strategic transformation caused him to lose a lot of business, not to mention that at least five or six big business companies also joined him and became the leading big business in Yanzhou Prefecture.
In this case, Ping Tongfeng was naturally nostalgic about the good times in the past. He said with confidence: "The reason why our Pingjia Warehouse is still alive is that the governor and governor helped us build the territory of North Korea and Mongolia. However, if our business is long-term, even if we don't take down Jiangning Mansion, we must take down Yangzhou Mansion! How much business has Yangzhou Mansion lost to us!"
