Chapter 284: Big Wood Repays Debt

"Mr. Mao has a total of 2,000 stones of food, more than 10,000 pieces of various weapons and iron, and then hundreds of bags of herbs and more than 3,000 coats. Our boss said that these things are worth more than 20,000 silver. If the adults are convenient, they can calculate the silver according to the price. If it is inconvenient, they can owe it first. If the court has military pay, Lord Mao can pay it, and we will settle the settlement. If there is really no, even if he serves the court, there is nothing to worry about."

Cheng Fang's attitude was respectful and gentle tone was not particularly proud or arrogant. He never asked the Dongjiang army, including Mao Wenlong, to feel like he was given a gift. He first talked about the price of goods, then the payment method, and finally said that he was serving the court, and did not mean to be good at Mao Wenlong.

The more this happens, the deeper everyone's favor for He Yusheng and Zhang Han. Of course, they also have a lot of favor for Cheng Fang, who is like a boy who is scattered in front of them.

"Haha, OK, it's very good." Zhang Pan slapped Cheng Fang's shoulder hard, making Cheng Fang grin and screamed in pain.

"Zhang Pan, you have also taken care of it." Mao Wenlong was also happy. In addition to food, jackets and herbs were also urgently needed. Not only were the refugees here who were starving and frozen, but more importantly, the army also had serious lack of cotton coats and medicinal materials for curing diseases and rescue injuries. In addition, the island must have lacked iron tools. Mao Wenlong's territory has not yet mined iron ore. A small amount of pig iron was collected from North Korea and the people. The settlement lacked iron farm tools, and soldiers also lacked weapons. Not to mention waist knives and armor, even the number of iron spear heads was insufficient. Many newly recruited soldiers were holding sharpened wooden sticks in their hands. These weapons and iron tools were not as important as food.

However, Mao Wenlong did not believe Zhang Han's words. It was too strange for a businessman to serve the court in this way.

After saying Zhang Pan, Mao Wenlong looked at Cheng Fang and said in a serious tone: "You boss, I actually know that he is also a third-rank military official, and he can also be called Lord Zhang. What kind of constitution does he have?"

Cheng Fang said: "What does Lord Mao mean?"

Mao Wenlong said: "If it is an ordinary businessman, if the official owes the silver, he will pay it back when he has it, and if he doesn't, he will write it off. He is a general and is engaged in a life-threatening business. He can do even his life. So what if the country is like, the merchant should be considered unlucky. However, your boss has already asked me to owe tens of thousands of silver twice, so he still takes the initiative to deliver such a huge sum. Of course, the official will collect the things, but he is really uneasy."

Cheng Fang noticed that when Mao Wenlong spoke, no one dared to interrupt or express anything. The smile on Zhang Pan's face, who had been very happy just now, also frozen. Chen Jisheng, who had been talking and laughing with him, also made a look of doubt. Cheng Fang felt that Mao Wenlong did a great job in controlling his subordinates. At least at present, this military town is almost firmly controlled by Mao Wenlong.

Cheng Fang didn't dare to neglect it. After glanced at Mao Wenlong, he said seriously: "If my boss has no selfish intentions at all, it wouldn't be like this."

"Oh, let's talk." When Mao Wenlong heard Zhang Han's request, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Mao Wenlong is not afraid of owing money, but it also depends on who owes money.

Zhang Han is certainly the domineering Datong, and the governor has also driven away. From an ordinary businessman to the position of garrison and commander of the seal, Mao Wenlong was not as good as Zhang Han two years ago!

The key is that Zhang Han can still reach the capital and Liaodong. Such a person has been showing goodwill. How could he feel about tens of thousands of silver hit Mao Wenlong's head?

Can you be without pressure?

If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for. What Mao Wenlong is worried about is that Zhang Han cannot do what he asks for!

Cheng Fang smiled and said, "Our mainstay is exactly what the adults have here. Not only are there, but there are so many that they are numerous!"

Mao Wenlong said: "Does he want people? To be honest, I really have nothing except people!"

Cheng Fang said: "Of course we have as many people in Datong as possible, but we may really need people in the future."

Zhang Han did not mention this statement, and Cheng Fang just said it casually. He also knew that He Yusheng's next major strategy is to manage the sea and vigorously display the power at sea. It may really require some manpower. There are many people in Liaodong, so it will save people from sending people from Datong. If possible, you might as well go to some.

Cheng Fang continued: "This time the ship we came here was just purchased by our owner and it cost a lot."

Mao Wenlong said: "This kind of big blessed ship was originally used for sea trade in Southeast Asia and to Japan, and it is naturally expensive."

Cheng Fangxi said: "Sir, the villain will have to spend a lot of talk. My boss always likes to rely on himself when doing things, but not others. After all, it is better to build his own business than to buy a boat."

Mao Wenlong pondered: "Is it the main thing in the east of your house that is Damu?"

"That's right!" Cheng Fang Zhanyan smiled and said, "It's just a big tree."

The people present, including Mao Wenlong, all breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to Kuandian, Mao Wenlong can control and influence the areas now, but there are not many other things, but many of them are mountains and boundless forests!

This place was also very good for protecting trees in later generations. It has many mountains, lush forests, extraordinary scenery, many mountains, many forests, many rivers and many streams.

It is winter now, and in late spring and early summer, there are countless wild fruits, various nuts, wild vegetables, and wild animals in the dense forests. Although it is definitely not enough to feed hundreds of thousands or millions of people, it can be enough to make up for it. Mao Wenlong really did not expect that the countless forest lands could certainly allow his men to deal with the Jurchens, and it also made it inconvenient for the enemy to mobilize a large army to attack, but it is also a way to make money.

"If you want wood," Mao Wenlong smiled happily, "that's really what you want!"

"Of course it's not ordinary wood." Cheng Fang quickly said: "If you need good wood and suitable for shipbuilding, my boss will send some shipbuilding personnel to choose them myself."

"Small things." Mao Wenlong waved: "Everything is on me."

Cheng Fang smiled and said, "There are so many furs like deer skins that we want, and we can discount the price."

Mao Wenlong shook his head slightly and said, "It's OK to cut down some trees for you to pay off your debts. If you do fur or other business, it's a taboo thing, and I can't respond to you for the time being."

Cheng Fang said: "My boss also knows that the military town cannot be traded, otherwise he will be impeached by the censor. However, the boss said that the situation here is special. If the adults report the memorial next year and state that the military pay is difficult, the court may be willing to give it to the matter and grant it to the adults to make some subsidies."

"Well," Mao Wenlong said: "If this is the case, I will consider this matter."

Having said that, both sides had all their doubts. Although Mao Wenlong was happy, even Cheng Fang felt that he had completed the task successfully and his face was very happy.

At this point, it was natural to unload the goods. Mao Wenlong immediately asked Chen Jisheng to arrange the manpower. Chen Jisheng touched his beard and agreed with a smile. It would be fine if anything else, but he would ask someone to transport the food. He would have to do as much as he wanted.

Mao Wenlong smiled and stared at the big ship.

"Your boss is so powerful." Mao Wenlong thought that Zhang Han not only bought a boat, but also had to build his own, and was not satisfied with his commercial status in the north and wanted to open up sea trade in the south. This person was really unpredictable and admired.

"The ice is chiseled open." In the distance, people on the coast cheered, and a large area of ​​ice was chiseled off the coast and floated towards the water surface of the river estuary.

"Each person who chisels the ice gives two cakes and one bowl of porridge!" Mao Wenlong became generous when he got the food.

There was a thunderous sound of joy, and people rushed over and began to help the ship get off the food and utensils. The seaside became more lively and vibrant, and it was on this deserted island.

Wang Xinyi had already received the imperial edict, went to the relevant yamen to go through the procedures, received the customs defense, and borrowed a large amount of Beijing debt to pay off some small amounts. The large amount of creditors sent people to follow him out of Beijing, preparing to pay off the money slowly after taking office in Datong.

This was also a common practice for Beijing officials at that time. When they were in Beijing, because their salary was weak, it was very difficult to support their families and maintain the decent appearance of officials. Ninety percent of officials had to borrow money until they were released, or their ranks were upgraded, and they could slowly pay off their debts after they had mastered greater resources.

"I don't know," Wang Xinyi's confidant aide smiled beside the sedan chair: "The accumulated debts over the years are just about 300 taels of silver, as well as sedan rooms, car shops, and grain shops. The total amount is nearly 200 taels. In addition, the loans from the money shops from people's favors are still more than 1,000 taels. This time, Dongweng was released, and it was a key place like Datong, and finally he was able to clarify these old debts."

"I've lost my old debt, and I have new debts." Wang Xinyi always talks about righteousness, and he might as well talk about some business practices in front of his own people. He frowned and said, "It's not that easy to go there."

The staff looked at the follower a few steps away. The man was the follower sent by a large money house. He whispered: "Dongweng should do things and collect some things. Dongweng is generous and does not want to be greedy, but he will pay back some money and owes others. It is always hard for others to say anything."

Wang Xinyi was a little upset and waved his hand, signaling the staff not to continue talking.

Wang Xinyi also saw the disappointment in the other party's eyes, and he felt a little sorry.

Most officials hire staff and teachers, some focus on the name of punishment, some write and book, some are accounting, and some are generalists who need military, grain, money and food. This is the case with Wang Xinyi, who takes office this time. A very few staff members follow the master's family, and for example, Mao Yuanyi follows Sun Chengzong, most of them are for wealth. This time, Wang Xinyi takes office, but his main task is to deal with Zhang Han. From this perspective, it is mostly to disappoint his master and his family.

The sedan chair swayed and stopped in front of the side door. When the doorman opened the door, Wang Xin leisurely got out of the sedan chair and stepped inward.

Although Wang Wenyan has no official position, his main door is not something that Wang Xinyi can walk through.

After passing the eve of the eve of the ritual gate and reaching the eaves of the main hall, Wang Wenyan stood under the eaves to greet him.
