Chapter 676 Large Quantity and High Quality Leather Goods
Yan Laoer brought his men and cattle and felt the enthusiasm of the shops in the city as soon as he entered Huju City.
When his brother first became a household secretary, he was also like this.
He was given a sum of silver as a tribute.
Compared with this, the red envelopes Yan Laoer received at this time were bigger and more.
Those familiar old faces smiled like flowers, their mouths were filled with honey, and they threw out nice compliments like they were free.
Even though Yan Laoer was determined, he was still flattered by these guys.
"I have received everyone's kindness. So, at noon today, our Ruifeng Restaurant will arrange it. Everyone come, don't miss it."
He said a few more polite words and said that he had official business to attend to. The crowd wisely stepped aside and watched him enter the gate of the government office.
"General Yan is much easier to deal with than Baihu Xue." Someone whispered.
"That's right, we'll have a good life in the future."
"Do we need to go to Captain Xue again in the future?"
"It's better for the county magistrate to manage it now, so it should be... no need, right?" The person who spoke was a little uncertain.
"Let's wait and see. Captain Xue has been promoted after all. If we pay more tribute to him, we can also accumulate some favors, right?"
"Your family is rich and powerful, but it's easy to say. Our business can only make a living, so how can we afford so many big Buddhas?"
"Let's discuss it again. General Yan has booked Ruifeng Restaurant for lunch. We all have money for the banquet. Do you have any objection to this?"
"No objection, it's all the old rules."
"Okay, then we'll see you later, everyone. I think General Yan seems to have something to ask us. I'm worried when I go back. I have been thinking about it. What is the current situation in the city? We all know how empty the county government's warehouse is. If we really want to talk about it, we should try our best to accept it. If it is really difficult, don't say anything bad at the time. We will discuss it privately.
Yan Zongqi is different from those people before. His teacher is Mr. Tian, and his brother is our Hushu. Such a strong relationship, everyone should weigh it clearly! "
...
Yan Laoer did have something to ask the managers of the city's shops.
He thought all the way when he came. If the grain purchase is to go smoothly, these people need to cooperate.
The market is like a battlefield, and you have to know yourself and the enemy.
And these merchants in the city are probably the ones who can talk to the grain merchants in the south the most.
After all, those grain merchants have to find out the news of Guanzhou so that they can sell the grain in their hands at a good price.
Yan Laoer was sincere in inviting guests. Not only did he arrive at the restaurant in advance, but he also gave money in advance and put it on the account.
The restaurant owner was terrified and refused to take anything. Yan Laoer's persuasion was useless. In the end, it was Qi Da who could suppress the situation. He stuffed the money into the owner's arms with a stern face.
He was almost knocked down by the owner...
"Everyone, although we have known each other for a short time, we have dealt with each other a lot. You probably know what kind of person I, Yan Er, am. I don't do those empty words, and I don't do those empty words. It was like this before and it will be like this in the future."
"I am happy that you come to congratulate me today!"
"Come on, let's drink this cup first. In the future, your business will prosper, and I, the general flag, will be doing a peaceful job, and our tiger lord will get better and better!"
Yan Laoer raised his head and slurped the wine in the cup.
The people at the table drank this cup and talked a lot.
What General Flag Yan has a bright future and must be promoted.
What is it that our Huju is getting better and better because of the protection of General Yan?
What is General Yan the lucky star of our Huju? Since you came, look at how many merits you have made. The Northern Rong were all defeated by you.
The prince has a keen eye for talent and appointed you as the general flag. The good days of our Huju will come in the future.
The more he said, the more outrageous it became, and Yan Laoer blushed with praise.
It should be said that these businessmen really dare to flatter everything, which is quite unscrupulous.
"I have always believed in a saying that if you are good, I will be good, and everyone will be good." Yan Laoer began to get to the point: "We were badly harmed by the Northern Rong last year. It was almost spring plowing, and we couldn't even get the seeds together. The grain that the Northern Rong robbed was eaten by them, and we had to share most of the grain we seized. In the end, less than 20% of the grain in the hands of our Huju was taken, and this was after counting cattle and sheep."
Yan Laoer sighed heavily: "Huju is short of food!"
The people present looked at each other.
Finally, someone spoke up and whispered, "General Yan, what do you mean?"
How do you want us to share the money?
Just say it boldly, we are all prepared before we come.
Everyone looked at Yan Laoer with some encouragement.
Yan Laoer said very honestly, "I want to buy grain, but I don't have money."
This shocked the whole audience.
This... is it such a big hole? !
"But I have cattle and sheep, and a batch of high-quality furs, large in quantity and high in quality." Yan Laoer's eyes swept across everyone's face, and he smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't believe me, so I brought the samples."
He waved his hand, and Qi Si and Qi Wu picked up two large bags from the side. The moment they opened the bags, all kinds of leathers came out impatiently.
"I want to use furs to pay for the money to buy grain. Everyone knows that I have no other advantages, but I'm too honest. What if I get cheated?" Yan Laoer's eyes were so sincere.
"So I kept thinking and thinking, and finally I figured it out." He looked at everyone present eagerly: "One person has few ideas, but with so many of us, how can we not come up with good ideas!"
"General Yan wants us to act as a bridge?"
"We are short of food, and they have delivered food to our doorstep. It is so convenient and considerate, so I am willing to let them earn more. But you see, my furs are also rare and good furs. Look at this Maofeng, each root is standing up. Look at this kind, it is very complete, there are all kinds of furs, the most important thing is, do you know what it is?"
Yan Laoer stood up, walked to the two piles of furs, picked up one at random, and spread it out for everyone to see carefully.
"All are whole furs, without a single eye! Last year, the county government announced that the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, and only the border troops and the militia could enter the mountain. What a coincidence, the militia's fur is here, and the border troops' fur is still here."
Silence.
Except for the men in Xiaoan Village, the people present were concentrating on eating and drinking.
No one was given for free.
Yan Zongqi's words revealed several meanings.
The government office closed the mountain, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter or leave, but everyone knew that the militia went into the mountain to pick meat in the heavy snow.
The furs in General Yan's hand come from this.
The colder the weather, the better the furs of wild animals grow.
The quality of this batch of furs can be imagined.
And none of these furs were hunted, they were all picked!
Picked!
Whole skins!
Even more rare!
The corresponding value is also higher.
It can be said that except for the stocks in the hands of a few old hunters, the best and top furs in Huju are visible to the naked eye and are actually in the hands of General Yan.
Yan Laoer smiled honestly and called out: "Zuo Zhanggui, you are an expert, can you check the goods for us?"
Yan Laoer: I am too honest, so scared, afraid of being cheated, sob!
Zhai Zhai: I am sick again, I have been hot and cold recently, and I am hit again, sob!
