Chapter 49: Getting Rich

Zhang Yoking said, “Don’t worry, big brother, we pushed the gunpowder onto Guo Degan.”

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but cross his thumbs, “Third brother is really smart and clever.”

His eyes flickered to see Churchford snapping at a booger in his nose, which seemed a little disrespectful to him as a big brother.

Zhang Anshi said, “Fourth brother, be civilized.”

Zhu Yong said, “Big brother, don’t pay attention to him, he’s just like that, he’s been playing for most of the day.”

“Oh.” Zhang Anshi nodded, “Have your family members come yet, and have they told you when to go and ask His Majesty to release you?”

Zhang Yoking and Zhu Yong both got frustrated, “Since we were in jail, no one from our family has come to visit us, and only big brother rushed here.”

Zhang Anshi comforted them, “Consider them ignorant, and don’t take it to heart.”

Zhang mumbling yoking said, “Only big brother is the best for us, but …… big brother …… that time, where did you run away, you said to eat breakfast, but have not seen people.”

Zhang Anshi sighed: “Ai, that’s why I made the right move in the first place, you see, you guys are the three murderers of the capital, and big brother, the brain is a little more alive, specializing in reasoning with people and making peace with them, you guys are Liu Guan Zhang, big brother is Zhu Geliang, get it?”

Liu Guanzhang is definitely Liu Guanzhang’s, but this Liu, certainly not Liu Bei, mostly Liu Zen, of course, do not have to care about these details.

Zhang Anshi patiently explained, “Look now, aren’t the benefits apparent? If we are caught in jail, who will take care of us in the future? Now big brother is outside, although you suffer inside, but there is always big brother to visit from time to time, not teach you to suffer.”

Zhu Yong slapped his thighs: “Right, how did I not think of it, big brother is really brilliant, anticipate things like God, I did not think that big brother calculates nothing, have long thought about it.”

With a tilt of his head, Zhang Yoking actually felt it made sense as well.

Zhang Anshi added: “Eggs should not be put in the same basket, you a basket, big brother a basket, as long as big brother is still there, we three murderers in the capital, will be prestigious forever.”

With that, Zhang Anshi took out the food in the food box and gave it to them.

Only then sighed: “Thinking of brothers suffering here, I can not eat and sleep, you take good care of your body, wait for three years and five years, His Majesty’s fire subsides, big brother will think of ways for you to free you. Take a step back, wait for my sister …… husband.”

Zhang Anshi s voice is getting lower and lower: “When my sister in law ke succeeds to the great unity …… is still afraid of not being able to come out? This is just a sentence, there is a big brother in, do not teach you to suffer.”

“Big brother …… you take care of your own business, we can t suffer much here, you don t worry to go.”

Zhang Anshi nodded, these brothers are real people, able to deal.

But his heart sank, after all, this time is his own play bad, how to know ‘one sulfur, two nitrate, three charcoal, add a little sugar big Ivan’ is actually true.

The only fortunate thing is that the emperor only imprisoned them into the prison, they are all after the meritorious ministers, there should not be any risk to their lives, there is always a way to let them out earlier in the back.

But right now, it’s not the time to grieve.

He has to turn his grief into strength, and inherit the legacy of his brothers …… not right, inherit their spirit of daring to fight and fight, and to make the brothers s business good.

Zhang Anshi also arranged for a bondsman to bring out Zhu Jin.

It’s still the same old liquor store.

It was just that when Zhang Anshi appeared, the proprietor of the wine shop looked like he had seen a ghost.

It was this guy who beat people half to death here in the first place, and the elegant room up there, almost smashed to pieces.

You’re still coming?

However, the more people like that, the less they can be offended.

So Zhang Anshi went up to the second floor without any problems.

Once inside the elegant room.

Inside the back of the hand like a hot pot ant anxious round and round Zhu Jin saw Zhang Anshi appeared, subconsciously two legs a soft, kneeling.

Had to kneel.

When that Liang Wu …… was beaten half dead, Zhu Jin still thought …… that these evil teenagers were dead.

What good can come from offending Liang Wu?

But after a few days, but then I heard that the Han Wangwei’s hundred Liang Wen, that is, this Liang Wu’s brother, the mansion were bombed, and the person also became a cripple.

Think about it, who has such guts in this Nanking city? The King of Heaven is not so fierce.

You won’t arrest such a person and exterminate him?

But now? People were standing in front of him alive and well, and nothing was wrong with them at all.

Thus, the former was underestimated by the young man, now in the eyes of Zhu Jin, has become a flood of beasts in general existence, that Liang Wen brothers offended this person are dying so ugly, let alone him, I am afraid that the other pinch fingers, will be able to put him in the smoke.

“Little …… villain Zhu Jin, see …… see ……… the Prince… …”

Zhang Anshi kindly assisted him up and said in a warm voice: “Aiya, why be so polite, come, sit down and talk. ”

“No.” Zhu Jin said, “I feel more comfortable kneeling.”

Zhang Anshi frowned and said, “Stand when I tell you to!”

Jurgen immediately got up and stood motionless.

Zhang Anshi said, “How have you thought about the sale?”

“Do, of course.” Zhu Jin said, “However, I have inquired, outside the unusual cotton yarn, are to two hundred money a catty, Gongzi such top quality cotton yarn, two hundred and fifty money price is too low, small people even if three hundred money to collect and sell out, is also profitable. ”

Profit, he roughly has been discounted, three hundred money is indeed a small profit, but there is no way ah, he did not dare to make profiteering on Zhang Anshi, or not sleep ah!

“Three hundred dollars?” Zhang Anshi was also a bit surprised and said, “Wouldn’t that make Brother Zhu suffer a loss?”

“No loss, no loss.” Zhu Jin laughed dryly, “Doing business is about longevity.”

Zhang Anshi then said, “It’s just that I may have more than 100,000 pounds a year, can you eat it?”

“The veil is something that’s in short supply in all the state capitals right now, no worries about selling it.”

Zhang Anshi nodded, “And …… is that I hope to get in some cotton, do you have any channels on your side?”

Zhu Jin did not hesitate to say, “This is good to say, small people and cotton merchants also have dealings. Now outside the market, the price of cotton in seventy money a catty up and down, of course …… if the purchase volume is large, the price can be pressed to sixty money, or even lower.”

“Good, this one is also given to you.” Zhang Anshi nodded in satisfaction.

In this day and age, there is no such thing as the concept of scale advantage.

And Zhang Anshi’s trump card is the advantage of scale, unusual cotton merchants to give people supply may be a hundred pounds, a thousand pounds, the price of seventy wen, eighty wen are possible.

And Zhang Anshi is a real textile big, in this era, absolutely mass production, at every turn to take 100,000 200,000 pounds of goods, then cotton merchants, even if it is sixty Wen, or even fifty-five Wen’s price is also happy to peddle!

The reason is simple: large-scale and stable supply reduces a lot of unnecessary selling costs, and it also greatly reduces the pressure of turnover and storage of cotton merchants.

Zhang Anshi said in a good mood, “Good enough. In that case, we have a deal?”

Zhu Jin nodded his head as if he were pecking at a chicken, “Yes, yes, it’s a deal. But …… about the cotton, I’m only afraid that the supply will be insufficient for the time being.”

Zhang Anshi then wondered, “What is the reason for this?”

Zhu Jin laughed bitterly: “Hey, this …… is not the son knows? Su, Song two provinces big water into trouble, Wujiang area especially, hey …… really miserable ah, this Jiangnan fish and rice countryside, now it is the starving countless, I heard that the hungry people, because there is no food, but also sued the loan can not food, want to go into the city begging and can not be obtained, and then starved to death in the road side, there are more into the cast in the river. After the flood, the cotton production dropped greatly, in addition, the river is also blocked, transportation difficulties.”

Zhang Anshi was surprised, and he couldn’t help but say, “Did the court not come to the rescue?”

“His Majesty has decreed relief, but with such a great calamity, it is a drop in the bucket by virtue of the imperial court, and there are simply too many starving people.”

Zhang Anshi lowered his head, the Songjiang and Suzhou and Hangzhou that he imagined must be as lively and prosperous as Nanjing City, where did he think …… that it was actually so bad.
