Chapter 423 Mortgage Business(1/2)

The wisdom of the Fourteenth Lady is actually based on Chen Zhenzhu’s reminder and suggestions.

On the way back, the fourteenth lady and the female slaves often talked to relieve the boredom.

The fleet arrived at Hukou and was investigated. Zhang Yu said he was ordered to go to Zhong Yuxiu.

Because he was a lady, Jiangzhou soldiers did not detain him for investigation and were allowed to go to Hongzhou.

......

Wei Fufeng was aroused by longing and walked without saying a word.

Wei Xiaoyun suddenly asked, "Master, what do the eldest wife like? I should prepare gifts and greetings."

"Don't worry, my wife never treats her concubine harshly." Wei Fufeng comforted her.

Wei Xiaoyun was light, Wei Fufeng was thinking. He was greedy for the marriage between Jiangning and Wei. In addition to opening up the gap in Jiangning and trying to hide soldiers, he also had the intention of temporarily relocating three women.

It is inappropriate to bring a woman with you when you are traveling to Yangzhou.

Wei Fufeng said: "Xiaoyun, I think you have a talent for business."

"Although I am not stupid, I should not show up as a daughter." Wei Xiaoyun replied reservedly.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said gently: "My letter is worth ten thousand yuan. I allow you to travel in the Yangtze River to open a business from Jiangning to Yuzhou, and help me deliver letters."

"Ah? Master, the cost of waterway business is very high. Just hiring sailors and guards requires a lot of money and a ship." Wei Xiaoyun was surprised and talked happily after being surprised.

Wei Fufeng said: "My father-in-law should have a merchant ship. I will use brothels as a ban, in exchange for the cost of traveling to Yuzhou. I will take the boatman. You only need to choose a loyal and capable manager to travel."

"My father's merchant ship mainly travels to Yuzhou. My father is afraid that he will not want to do so." Wei Xiaoyun responded in a low voice, obviously not confident.

"I use brothels as a lie. If something happens, my father-in-law will not suffer any losses. My father-in-law may be eager to take back the brothel. You are a good concubine, and it is not appropriate to manage brothels. I plan to use the money from Yuzhou to invest in the Qinhuai River to run a restaurant on the banks of the Qinhuai River, which will be under your control." Wei Fufeng tempted.

"Master, can the eldest wife be willing to pay the money to Jiangning?" Wei Xiaoyun instinctively questioned.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "The master is at home and can make decisions on big things."

"What can be a trivial thing that the master cannot make decisions?" Wei Xiaoyun asked immediately.

Wei Fufeng was stunned and felt embarrassed to be played by the general. He didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wei Xiaoyun smiled and said, "There are so many small things that I want to be too lazy to pay attention to."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said gently: "You will know about small things in the future, I can't say anything."

Wei Xiaoyun said, "Master, I would like to go to my parents' house, and I will go back and ask."

"Go to go again in the future, I will wait in the teahouse there." Wei Fufeng replied.

Wei Xiaoyun turned around and looked behind her and shouted, "Uncle Cai, go to that teahouse and ask for a private room."

The manager who followed him responded and rushed to the teahouse first.

Wei Fufeng arrived, and Dr. Tea welcomed and led him. He went to the second floor private room, and Wei Xiaoyun followed him into the room.

Dr. Cha left and closed the door, and Wei Xiaoyun said softly: "Master, please sit down."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "It's getting late, you go quickly."

Wei Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Master, I'm leaving."

Wei Fufeng nodded, Wei Xiaoyun turned around and walked away, opened the door and closed the door outside, shouted to the manager to go home in a hurry.

After a while, Dr. Cha opened the door and smiled and said, "Dear guest, the best Huangshan Maojian."

Wei Fufeng nodded and expressed his satisfaction, smiling: "Sit down and talk to me."

Dr. Tea respectfully told him to sit down and accompany Wei Fu.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Chat about tea tasting.

After waiting for half an hour, Wei Xiaoyun came back and Dr. Cha received a cent of silver rewards and left.

The travelers were not only the manager of Uncle Cai, but also a middle-aged man with a brocade robe with a look similar to the head of the Wei family, and several servants followed him.

"When Wei Heng was ordered to come and negotiate cooperation with General Chu." The person who came politely bowed and made his wishes clear.

Wei Fufeng smiled and nodded, saying, "Uncle, please sit down."

Wei Heng sat opposite Wei Fufeng. The two sides began negotiations.

Wei Heng asked: "General Chu, the river waterway from Jiangning to Yuzhou is extremely risky. How confident is General Chu to pass?"

Wei Fufeng replied: "Although the Southern Sichuan Army is still fighting with the Xuanwu Army, it is already in a confrontation stage. The Southern Sichuan Army is completely strong on the south bank of the Yangtze River, which can ensure that the merchant ships are unobstructed."

Wei Heng asked, "I heard that the general's home is in Yuzhou, but he is very close to the Southern Sichuan Army?"

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Now it is still the world of the Tang Dynasty. I was born into a noble family in Chang'an. Chang'an was in chaos. It is natural that my family moved to Taiping.

As for the Southern Sichuan Army, we have always encouraged the protection of trade. When the merchant ship arrived in Yuzhou, we had our own home to receive the goods and prepare the goods to be transported back."

Wei Heng nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "After all, I am a military officer in Xuanzhou. As long as I pay the passerby in Xuanzhou, I should go smoothly. The only variable is Jiangzhou. It is best to use the title of governor Feng, take the Jiangning official seal document, and open the Jiangzhou Pass."

Wei Heng nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "Remember that only the merchants who arrive in Jiangzhou can only be said to be Jiangning's businesses. You cannot mention any official background, otherwise it will cause hostility to Jiangzhou and may not come back."

Wei Heng nodded and asked again: "It is best not to mention the official background when arriving in Ezhou?"

Wei Fufeng replied: "When you arrive in Ezhou, you can use Chu Yu, the Qingyang Hou Mansion, to visit the highest official. Maybe you cannot get any care, but it will not be bad either."

Wei Heng nodded, then negotiated specific cooperation and signed a contract for mortgaged brothels, the brothel famous Fengyuelou, worth 23,000 silver.

Wei Fufeng didn't know where Fengyue Tower was. From Dr. Cha, he learned that there were five large brothels in the Wei family in Jiangning, distributed on five sections on the Qinhuai River.

In fact, Wei Fufeng did not propose a mortgage, so the head of the Wei family must take measures to move away valuable items from the brothel and transfer away famous and beautiful prostitutes.

Without moving, the brothel is worth 60,000 to 70,000 silver, or even 60,000 to 70,000 silver, and may not be able to buy brothels with famous prostitutes on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

There are fourteen farms in Jiangning Weishi, who are definitely big landlords. However, the income of the farm is far inferior to the business income and has become an affiliated property of Jiangning Weishi.

Therefore, Wei Fufeng asked for a dowry to a farm, but the head of the Wei family could barely accept it. Dowrying a brothel would cost his life.

However, the head of the Wei family did not dare to disobey Feng Hongduo. As soon as the army showed its power, Jiangning Wei's losses were even greater.

Feng Hongduo also had the means to be dependent on Jiangning. He never robbed local wealth property, but regarded it as a source of wealth to pay heavy taxes, and used some reasons to exploit it from time to time.

Feng Hongduo knew very well that exploitation and robbery were two consequences.

As long as the big family is not forced into a dead end, it can basically tolerate it like cattle and sheep. If the family business is robbed, even if the big family is robbed, it will arouse the resistance of the entire Jiangning people.

After completing the mortgage cooperation, Wei Fufeng proposed to borrow money to open a restaurant to operate specialty food and wine from Bashu, and hand it over to Wei Xiaoyun for management and residence.

Wei Heng said that he could not make decisions, while Wei Fufeng said that he only needed early preparations.

Jiangning Weishi first bought it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I opened the building of a restaurant, and waited for Yuzhou to bring the money back to Jiangning Weishi, and then officially opened the restaurant.

Wei Heng agreed, signed another contract, and left with the contract.

Wei Fufeng picked up his contract and handed it to Wei Xiaoyun, who held it carefully.

Wei Fufeng said gently: "It's getting late. You take your dowry and find a hotel to stay temporarily. Come and see me tomorrow."

"Master, I'm already married, so I should serve the master on the boat." Wei Xiaoyun said softly.

Wei Fufeng reached out to hug the little beauty and smiled: "It's not home on the boat. I will come back to Jiangning in the future and reunite with you at home."

Wei Xiaoyun was shy and suddenly raised her beautiful face and pecked Wei Fufeng's cheek.

Wei Fufeng'er shook her heart, subconsciously turned her head, kissed the little beauty's forehead and hair.

"Master." With a delicate call, Wei Xiaoyun's little face was bleak and her smile was as bright as a flower.

Wei Fufeng fell in love with him and said gently: "It's getting late, let's go."

"Master, I will meet tomorrow morning and there are so many people talking. I have any important instructions. Now I will tell you." Wei Xiaoyun said in a considerate way.

Wei Fufeng thought for a moment and nodded, "I just sent a letter, and there are three families. Stay in Jiangning for the time being, you must accompany you."

"Okay, there is pen and ink here, please write to me." Wei Xiaoyun smiled.

Wei Fufeng nodded, sat down and took a pen and wrote: "I am safe, I can't return to the end of the year, I miss you very much. I know that you have taken care of the female slaves and prayed for my return."

He picked up the letter and blew it dry, handed it to him, and said, "The explanation is clear and it must be given to the highest official in Ezhou and handed over to Chuyu's mansion in Yuzhou. Do not arrive in Yuzhou for delivery."

Wei Xiaoyun took it and nodded, "I have recorded it."

Wei Fufeng said with concern: "Through Ezhou officials' transfer, there will definitely be no man-made disasters in the waterway from Ezhou to Yuzhou."

"I will remember it." Wei Xiaoyun answered solemnly.

Wei Fufeng nodded with satisfaction, and the group left the teahouse and returned to the riverside. Wei Xiaoyun left with her dowry. Wei Fufeng returned to the boat. At this time, the sunset was already setting.

......

The manager, Uncle Cai, found the inn first and led Wei Xiaoyun and his party to check in.

As the night fell, Wei Xiaoyun held Wei Fufeng's letter and watched by the lamp, and suddenly whispered: "There are not many words, full of deep feelings. The master and the eldest wife have a deep affection."

"Chunmei, how are you talking about the master?" Wei Xiaoyun asked.
