Chapter 111 Damn dignitaries
On the return trip.
Tang Youde finally couldn't help it and asked anxiously: "If the young master guessed wrongly, the price of silk has not dropped, even if we maintain the current price, we will have to pay more than 20,000 taels of silver."
There is another thing he didn't dare to say, except Zhao Hao, now everyone is looking to a high of 500 or even 6000!
According to what Zhao Hao said, there is no left of a pound of silk, if you still buy it now, the price of silk will not have to rise to six taels, but five taels will make them bankrupt.
"Old Tang, I'll ask you?" Zhao Hao did not tease Tang Youde anymore this time, but pointed to the raw silk warehouse that was beyond the limit of the dock in the distance, and said word by word:
"The silk here, the silk in the entire Jiangnan, has increased to five taels of silver, how much is it worth?"
"It's always possible to have 100 million taels." Tang Youde was actually unsure, so he could only estimate it.
"Can the merchants of the Ming Dynasty take out 100 million taels of silver?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"Then I definitely can't get it. But Japanese and Westerners have it?" Tang Youde said: "If it weren't for the opening of the sea, the price of raw silk wouldn't be higher."
"What if you can only sell hundreds of thousands of kilograms overseas in a year after opening the sea?" Zhao Haoyouyou asked him the last sentence.
"The price will definitely be avalanche." Tang Youde shivered and said, "I heard from those silk merchants that they estimate that even ribbon silk can be sold at least 5 million kilograms overseas in a year."
"Dream," Zhao Hao sneered, "Don't underestimate the greed of some people. Tell you, when Shuangyu Port was still there, Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants sold raw silk from Jiangnan to Malacca, and could make a profit of three times! Later, Zhu Wan destroyed Shuangyu, and Wang Zhi rebuilt a smuggling trade port in Zhoushan. During his monopoly of maritime trade, buying raw silk from Jiangnan to Malacca, and could make a profit of five times."
After a pause, he said sarcastically: "After Wang Zhi's death, Zhoushan Ligang was also destroyed, the sea ban was tightened, and the plates were no longer in the sea. But some people can still transport raw silk to Malacca and make ten times the profit!"
"Ah, so many?" Tang Youde was stunned and murmured for a while: "Didn't you say that if there is a navy stopping you, you can't get out of the sea?"
"The ones who blocked others' boats, not those boats." Zhao Hao sneered: "Why can you make a fortune together? How can you eat alone?"
"Who are they?" Tang Youde was terrified. What kind of force could actually make the navy of the court accomplice the tiger?
"Just stop those people who are not allowed to open the sea ban." After Zhao Hao said that, he looked at Tang Youde and said, "Do you understand now?"
"Ah..." Tang Youde collapsed in the carriage, how could he not understand what Zhao Hao meant?
The reason why those people did not allow the sea ban was to eat alone. Now, due to the situation, the price of silk immediately rose to heaven! However, the money that has risen now is the profit of those people!
How could those guys who are used to enjoying huge profits agree?
How could they not try every means to tie the hole up again?
Although it is a foregone conclusion to open the sea, this hole is probably as the young master said, and it will only open a little small...
By then, the price of silk will naturally collapse...
Fortunately, there was a young man who guided me, otherwise he would have been the only way to break into pieces if he was rashly involved.
When Tang Youde came to his senses, he found that his back was sweating. He was about to praise the young master sincerely, but saw Zhao Hao sitting in front of the window silently. Not only did he have no joy on his face, but his brows were slightly frowning, as if he was deeply worried in his heart.
Tang Youde couldn't understand. As the big winner of this battle, what else is there to be unhappy about the young master?
Fortunately, when Zhao Hao returned to Caijia Lane, he had recovered from peace.
He was busy outside these two days, so the two students went back to study. There were only Gao Wu and Qiao Qiao in the yard, which was rare to be quiet.
Unfortunately, today is destined to be uneasy.
He had just separated from Fatty Tang and had not washed his face before he saw Old Man Gao who was helping in front of him running over in a panic.
"Old man, what's wrong?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel heartbroken. After half a year of time with the high blacksmith, he had never seen the old man panic.
"Young master, it's not good. Someone is making trouble!" The high blacksmith reported the report with a panic look on his face.
"Huh?" Zhao Hao frowned and said coldly: "What did Li Jiutian eat?"
After obtaining Zhao Jin's understanding, the Constable Li has been successfully transferred back to the Caijiaxiang area. After returning this time, he had an extremely positive attitude and actively escorted Wei Jixian.
Every day before and after opening the store, Li Jiutian would bring people to maintain order in person, and arranged two white men to guard the store every day in case there were unsightly gangsters who would cause trouble.
This is not all for flattering the Zhao brothers. It is also because Lai Wei Jixian eats either rich or noble, and even the coachman who harasses them will cause trouble for the county. How could Li Jiutian be careless?
Therefore, during this period, the Wei Jixian has been calm and even the security in Caijiaxiang has improved.
"Mr. Li is in the store, but he can't handle it." Old Man Gao calmed down and quickly explained to Zhao Hao: "The one who came to the slave of Duke Wei's mansion. When he entered the door, he grabbed Manager Fang and asked him to pay the debt!"
"Did your mother borrow money from the Xu family?" Zhao Hao looked at Qiaoqiao in surprise.
"It was borrowed by the person who gave the seal money, and I never knew it had anything to do with the Xu family." Qiaoqiao shook her head, and her rosy face gradually pale.
"The Xu family is known as 'half-Jinling', and I don't know how many people are giving them money to earn interest." Old Man Gao hurriedly replied to Qiaoqiao: "It's not surprising that you borrow money to the Xu family. Even if you didn't borrow money from the Xu family, as long as you get the loan note, you can still be the creditor of the Fang family."
After a meal, he sighed in panic: "What's more, debt collection is simply a cover, they just like us very much..."
Old Man Gao looked frustrated, obviously frightened by the name of Duke Wei’s Mansion.
Gao Wu and Qiaoqiao were also shocked, and the latter even burst into tears and sobbed: "Last time it was the Xu family. I snatched our store. I just recovered, why are you here again?"
Zhao Hao looked calm. From the time he decided to open a store, he knew that this day would be the next day.
As the saying goes, if a dog travels thousands of miles to eat shit, the powerful and powerful people in the world will never change this behavior.
He took out a veil and handed it to Qiaoqiao and said, "It's not a big deal, I'll settle this matter and come back to play shuttlecock with you."
After saying that, he went straight out of the yard.
The Gao family father and son hurriedly followed closely.
Looking at Zhao Hao's back, Qiaoqiao's heart suddenly calmed down.
This time, it's really different from last time...
She held the veil in her hand tightly, as if this veil could bring endless confidence.
When Zhao Hao arrived at the restaurant, the diners who arrived early were already standing outside the store and were talking a lot.
"Young Master Zhao, are you in trouble?" Wu Kangyuan, the number one fan who was wearing a black robe of juren, was very delicious. He really rented a house in Caijiaxiang and studied and ate every day.
"A little situation." Zhao Hao and him were already very familiar with him. Wu Kangyuan was one of the few people who knew that he was the boss Weijixian.
"I don't think so." Wu Kangyuan pointed to the Jinyi Haoslao who was blocking the store and not allowing customers to enter, and whispered: "The Jinyi Haoslao of the Duke of Wei's Mansion."
"Just a group of clowns jumping." Zhao Hao smiled slightly, bowed to everyone who looked impatient, "Wait, the shop will be officially opened soon."
The rich slaves in brocade clothes sneered and looked at Zhao Hao with their nostrils and said, "If you don't pay back the money today, don't even think about opening it!"
"Get out of the way." Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows, and Gao Wu pushed Hao Nu who was blocking the way to both sides.
Zhao Hao walked into the lobby with a cold face and saw a middle-aged man dressed in charge sitting behind a square table with his legs crossed. Several Haonu, who were naked and exposed with his heart-protecting hair, stood behind him with his hands pressed on the weapon.
Wu Yu and two other strong men who hired to visit the store stood behind Fang De and Yu Jiachang, staring at the people coming to the Xu family with their eyes blazing fire.
Fang De pointed to the table full of silver and said with an ugly expression: "Please take this thousand taels away, don't delay our opening."
The money is actually from the store, but in order not to affect Weijixian's business, I can only lend it out to help me first and report it to the boss again.
The manager looked at the white silver, and thought it was very fresh and it was really worthy of its reputation. He could spend so much money on his account at will.
But the more he was moved, the more he looked disdainful, leaned his body on the back of the chair, hugged his arms and said, "Where is Boss Fang sending the beggar? I just thought about debt at one thousand taels?"
"I am just a shopkeeper with a very fresh shopkeeper, and the owner of this store has someone else." Fang De said angrily: "Besides, I owe a total of 1,000 taels, and I return nine and thirteen. By this month, I had already paid back 800 taels. Now I give another 1,000 taels, why can't I settle the account?"
"That's the algorithm of other families, not the algorithm of our Duke's Mansion." The in charge said with a arrogant look: "I thought about the debt? Now give me 20,000 taels. Otherwise, I will pay us the delicious food."
"Twenty thousand taels, why don't you rob it?" Yu Jiachang was furious when he heard this.
"So what about robbing it openly? In this Nanjing city, our Duke's Mansion is the rule." The in charge said with a condescending grace and said with confidence: "Please choose two roads."
"No, there is still a road." But a young voice sounded at the door.
