Chapter 1113 Geng Zijuan hit it off immediately
Feng Ziying didn’t expect that business could still be done like this, and she was shocked.
No wonder Jia She's expression is so weird. I'm afraid he has heard some rumors and even received some requests.
After pondering for a moment, Feng Ziying did not answer the question for a while.
The kind of situation Jia She mentioned is not unheard of, but it is certainly not the main one. After all, if someone knows about doing such a thing, it will immediately become the target of thousands of people. The world is so big that it is difficult to find a place to stay, and most of them are still A member of the family who wants to redeem someone.
I'm afraid Jia She didn't come here for the former. The benefits of getting involved may not be great, but the risks are not small. Feng Ziying is probably entrusted by others to get involved with the latter. Even if he can connect with others, he can not only earn a A small amount of money can win many favors.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are individual family heirs who want to occupy the magpie nest, or they are sworn enemies in the family and want to kill someone with a borrowed knife. But how can such a thing be brought to Jia She's head?
Who doesn’t know that Jia She is a character who has his hands in the coffin and is desperate for money? If you really want to find him, then you are trusting the wrong person.
"Uncle Shi Shi, my nephew doesn't care about the situations you mentioned. I'm afraid you're not here specifically to deal with this problem, right?" Feng Ziying asked.
"Ziying, you and I should belong to the same family. I won't hide some things from you. Many people in the capital know that you negotiated with the Mongols to redeem those soldiers, but now the imperial court is only willing to redeem the soldiers, and The generals and the court have no answer, but some people dare not let their families stay on the grassland any longer. Who knows if they can survive this winter?"
Jia She is calm and confident.
"You also said that the Mongols want to redeem them all at once. This is obviously impossible. The court has no money and cannot agree. Some people can get the money, but they cannot help redeem those who have nothing to do with it. ,…”
“Wouldn’t that conflict with the Mongolian requirements?” Feng Ziying asked.
"It depends on you, Ziying. Uncle Fool has asked about it, and they all say that you were in contact with the Mongols before the court made a decision. Without your intervention, two hundred thousand taels of silver redeemed more than fifty thousand people. , it is simply impossible. The reason why the Mongols are willing to give you face is probably because your father is the governor of Liaodong. If that is the case, why can't we play a game in the redemption of these generals? "
Jia She is always in good spirits and has a sharp mind when it comes to money. Feng Ziying can only say that this guy is most excited about money. As long as he has money, he is willing to do anything.
"Play a game?" Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly, "Uncle Shi Shi, how do you play?"
"Since the imperial court cannot solve the problem of the return of these generals in the short term, there are still many people who hope to get some of them back, but if they want to redeem them all, it is impossible. So Ziying, can you help to make the connection? Let's see Can the Mongols be more generous and allow some people to come back after paying their own ransoms in full?" Jia She looked very confident.
"Paying the ransom is a bargaining process. In the past, people who were kidnapped by bandits could still negotiate the price. Since you are familiar with Ziying among the Mongolians, wouldn't you be able to follow suit? Like Mu Tianyan, Liu Guoquan, and Qiu Bing Everyone, people like Chen Ruishi must be able to afford this amount of money, whether it is 30,000 taels or 50,000 taels, as long as they endure a little bit, they can get it. If Ziying, you can fight with the Mongolians Say hello over there, make it cheaper, give us a discount, then we can be there..."
Jia She had a wretched smile on her face, which made Feng Ziying feel sick. Yingchun was a beautiful guest with a kind-hearted personality, but why was her father so wretched?
Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Jia She had already taken over: "Uncle Yu understands, of course you can't meddle in these matters openly. Uncle Yu will come forward in these matters. When the time comes, Uncle Yu will naturally not lose your share." ,…”
"No, Uncle Shi, I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy to handle. The Mongols are asking for both of them. Uncle Shi, you said you can only solve part of it, and then you have to bargain. I'm afraid the Mongols are not that easy to talk to. ..." Feng Ziying was dumbfounded and quickly explained.
"Hey, Ziying, business is all about bargaining, and the Mongolians are not stupid either. They must make a higher price first, and then leave room for bargaining. Besides, these people have to be fed and drank when they take them back to the grassland. Aren’t we hoping to exchange these people for money as soon as possible? If it takes a long time, wouldn’t that be a loss? In the future, your father will spend more time dealing with them in Liaodong, and everyone will have more opportunities to take care of each other. How can we solve these problems? Are you struggling with too much?"
Not to mention, as long as Jia She talks about making a living in money, he will immediately become more lively. Even Feng Ziying has to admit that this guy is still somewhat smart in this regard. At least he has sorted out the various ways in it clearly. .
Feng Ziying thought about it for a while. If the imperial court was unable to respond to the request of the Inner Khalkha people, Zasai would definitely be a little anxious.
Jia She was right. People like Mu Tianyan and Liu Guoquan were asking for a ransom of 50,000 taels, which was obviously reasonable. Judging from the sequence, the thirty or fifty generals and commanders above the Dusi level alone may need five hundred thousand taels of silver. In their opinion, these should be the best ones to ask for ransom.
As for those below the rank of Qian Zong and Ba Zong, they all belong to middle and low-level officers. There are also a large number of people. It would be too much work to bargain one by one. However, this group involves many low-ranking officials besides the four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes. There are many descendants of Wu Xun, or the four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes, and the family can still scrape together eight hundred taels of silver. If it is really not feasible, it is possible to borrow the following life-saving money from outside.
In a word, it is indeed cumbersome and lengthy for the Khalkha people to get the money. Zaisai must have considered this, so he wanted the court to package and redeem it. However, if the price is too low, Zaisai will definitely not agree. , and the key is that even after lowering the price, the court refused to pay for a while, which would affect Emperor Yonglong's arrangements for the reorganization of the Beijing camp.
Based on this calculation, Jia She's path cannot be completely cut off. Keep this lead and handle it slowly first. This will not only prevent Zai Sai's side from being disappointed and think that he has broken his promise, but also can pass such a This big business promotes the economic development of Yongping Prefecture. The money must be exchanged for goods. Whether it is purchased locally in Yongping, or through outsourcing and imported to the grassland through Yuguan, in short, it can be given to Yongping Prefecture. Bring prosperity.
In particular, Feng Ziying considered that the iron works in Lulong and Qian'an will be fully operational in the future, and their iron material output will definitely increase significantly. Coupled with the increase in cement production capacity, iron materials and cement can be transported to the south and even Japan through the Yuguan Sea. North Korea can also import a large amount of grassland, and at the same time, it can transport grain, cloth, and tea from the south, forming a virtuous cycle of interaction, making Yongping a transit point for logistics distribution between Eastern Mongolia and the south, and can also promote the development of the commercial port here in Yuguan .
In this case, the huge ransom of these Beijing-based warriors can become a starting capital to drive this business chain.
After the Inner Khalkha people were firmly bound to Yongping and Liaodong by traders, it would be impossible for the Inner Khalkha people to get off the ship in the future. A certain leader or noble wanted to reverse the production of the entire tribe. Lifestyle is almost impossible.
"Uncle Shi Shi, you are so enthusiastic, why do so many people come to you?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, Ziying, to tell you the truth, after you talked to Uncle Yu last time, Uncle Yu went to ask the Liu family, the Chen family, and the Qiu family. They are now in a mess, and there are no arrests. Some There were still people in the family who took advantage of the situation and wanted to redistribute the family property. The foolish uncle saw that they felt sorry for them, so he suggested to them that they should go directly to the Mongols to negotiate. The court could not take care of it for the time being, so let's go to the Mongols ourselves. , whether it is fifty thousand or thirty thousand, the most important thing is for people to come back. Of course, they cannot be used as fat sheep to be slaughtered by the Mongols. So Yu Bo volunteered to come to you to discuss the matter. They all agreed and let Yu Bo Let’s first ask whether this road is feasible..."
Although he was shameless, Jia She still told the whole story calmly in front of Feng Ziying, "Ziying, I'm not going to hide it from you. The situation in the Rongguo Mansion is not very good now. You also know that the old lady arranged for the second house to be in charge. Uncle Fool can only have some scattered money to spend every year, but the situation in the house is not good now, the Grand View Garden costs too much, and he has to support many more people every year. Now he is a little unable to make ends meet, and he still owes Lin The girl has one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. We are also very guilty. Lian's wife, oh, Sister Feng is probably a little overwhelmed now. If she wants to give up, she has to live in each house, so Foolish Uncle can't think more about it. …“
Feng Ziying was a little surprised that Jia She suddenly brought up the topic to the internal affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, "Uncle She Shi, isn't it? As long as the ancestors are still here and plan more carefully, there will be no problem, right?"
Jia She just said this casually and said bitterly.
The old lady is here, and now the second son is going to Jiangxi to work as an academician. I estimate that even Yumugada can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver this time. He also has a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, but As for myself, even if the second girl makes a promise to the Sun family, she can only make one last profit. It will be impossible to make money from the Sun family in the future. Jia Lian can still be regarded as a way, but Jia She still has to do it for her. He first got some money to press the box, that's why he was so interested in this business.
He also knew that Feng Ziying was not easy to talk to, and besides being friendly to the Jia family, he would definitely not be able to handle such a big matter without giving the other party some benefits.
