Chapter 298 The gold and silver mountains are not as good as the green waters and green mountains
As the news that Zhou soldiers would protect the herdsmen gradually spread, more and more herdsmen and caravans came to the Fuming Town market for trade.
These herdsmen do not have high requirements for food. New wheat will do, as will old grain.
So the people at the border who are hungry for meat can take out a small bag of wheat, take it to the market, and sign with the herdsmen with their hands, and they can exchange it for half a leg of lamb.
The north wind is blowing, but there is a lively atmosphere inside and outside the city wall.
"I haven't seen such a lively scene in a long time." Gu Shisan looked at the people's faces with a trace of blood, and felt a little sad in his heart.
The deputy general has been so worried these past few days that his cheeks were so swollen this morning: "You are familiar with the general. Go ask the general what she plans to do with the cashmere and wool in the warehouse. Deal with it? "
The deputy general's head was pounding when he saw those wool and cashmere. They were all exchanged for real money!
The deputy general covered his heart, feeling that there was a hole in the boss's body.
Seeing the deputy general's heartache, Gu Shisan did not dare to be an eyesore in front of him anymore, and hurriedly ran down the city wall.
Before reaching Gu Nanxi's residence, Gu Shisan met the Kyoto inspection team.
Chairman Chen and others did not find Gu Shisan, who was still there cuckooing.
“I heard that the governor has purchased a large amount of cashmere and wool. If he calls us here this time, is he trying to force the sale to us?”
“This is absolutely impossible. ! If you only buy it this time, you can get it with the governor. That’s okay if you have a good relationship with me. But cashmere and wool are available every year. How can we afford it?” Break.”
"Yes, that's right, we won't let go even if we fight to death! No matter how smart the governor is, he can't force us to bow our heads."
After everyone discussed it, they walked into the door together.
"My lord, I'm waiting for you inside." The servant led everyone to the lobby. Gu Nanxi and Su Yunyan stood together, their heads next to each other, as if they were looking at something.
"Meet the Governor." The businessmen saluted respectfully.
After hearing this, Gu Nanxi raised her head and looked at everyone, with a smile on Furong's face.
"You came just in time. What can you gain from visiting the seven towns?"
President Chen and others looked at each other and secretly said that it was indeed the case!
Chairman Chen rolled his eyes and took the lead: "There is a shortage of food at the border. It happens that my in-laws are in the food business. So I want to transport food from Kyoto."
Including Everyone, including President Chen, secretly glanced at Gu Nanxi's expression.
Everyone knew that Gu Nanxi wanted the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce to purchase local specialties and promote local development, but Chairman Chen's words were equivalent to taking money out of Gu Nanxi's pocket.
Gu Nanxi's expression did not change, her eyebrows were still curved: "Golden and silver mountains are not as good as these green waters and green mountains. President Chen, are you really not going to look at it again?"
Seeing that Gu Nanxi was not angry , President Chen wiped the cold sweat from his palms, feeling a little proud in his heart.
Look, what if Gu Nanxi is the number one aspirant of the Zhou Dynasty, a famous general, and the governor of Yunzhou?
In this extremely poor Yunzhou, doesn’t she have to rely on merchants like us?
Chairman Chen couldn't keep his mouth shut: "I've thought about it. Those of us who do business have a large group of people who need to eat. I can't ruin their jobs. General. It must be intolerable to love the people as one’s own son.”
Su Yunyan frowned, why did President Chen speak so eccentrically? ! Wasn't he the one who came to guard the gate of Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, begging for nothing and insisting on coming with him?
Why does it look like A Niang asked him?
Gu Nanxi nodded and did not ask Chairman Chen again, but looked at the others: "What about you? Do you also want to do the grain business?" The others did not have the courage of Chairman Chen and quickly laughed: " No! We haven’t done anything in the grain business, so we won’t do anything about it.”
“Yunzhou is a vast and sparsely populated place. We have only looked at it briefly over the past few days and haven’t found a suitable one yet. The way.”
"Yes, yes, please give us more time, Lord Governor."
Su Yunyan was almost furious. No matter how nice these people said, didn't they still dislike A Niang?
Gu Nanxi did not embarrass them: "Okay, don't be in a hurry, just take your time and watch. I have a business here that makes things with cashmere and wool. Are you interested?"
President Chen’s lips curled up, it was indeed because of this matter!
This time, everyone's attitude was very consistent: "Thank you for the promotion, Lord Governor, but we have specializations in the industry. We have never done cashmere and wool business, so we will not take the risk."
Su Yunyan felt that these people were ignorant and wanted to come forward to argue, but Gu Nanxi patted her on the back and told her to calm down.
Gu Nanxi saw off the guests: "Since you are not interested in this deal, I will not force you to stay. Please do it."
As soon as they walked out of the house, everyone The chatter started.
“As expected, Chairman Chen guessed it right!”
“If we refute the governor’s face like this, we don’t know if she will hold a grudge?”
Chairman Chen said confidently: "So what if I hold a grudge? This is Yunzhou, and we are in Kyoto, thousands of miles away. They say that when people leave, the tea is cool, how can the governor reach out to Kyoto again?"
"That's right. What else could you say? The gold and silver mountains are not as good as these green waters and green mountains. Haha, it’s so ridiculous to me. There are no green waters and green mountains here. It’s clearly a barren land where birds don’t shit!”
The speaker did not control his volume! , attracting passers-by to turn their heads frequently.
Chairman Chen twisted the beads on his wrist, like an elder giving advice to the younger generation: "What the governor said about using cashmere and wool to make things is nothing more than making felt like the nomads. We also See, the colors of those products The color is dull, not much to look at, and it scratches your hands. How could the nobles in Kyoto like it? "
"No, even if someone wants to buy it, it's just a novelty. ”
"After staying in Yunzhou for these days, I feel like I smell like goats and goats. It's hard to imagine who would take advantage of these smelly cashmere and wool products and take them to the Central Plains for sale?"
"I see, this batch of cashmere wool is It’s in my hands. The general grew up in Kyoto and hasn’t seen much of the world. He doesn’t know that Kyoto is a different world from other states and counties!”
Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce laughed at Gu Nanxi, even if he didn’t know much about the world! So what if turning your hands in the court becomes clouds or turning your hands into rain? Doing business is not that simple.
But they didn’t know that their conversation had long been overheard.
That night, Song Zhizhou’s residence was crowded with people again.
Gu Shisan had a sad look on his face: "Mr. Song, do you think the lady really wants to lose money?"
Song Zhizhou took out his brush and wrote on the paper.
Gu Shisan looked around and saw that what was written on the white paper was [Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as green waters and green mountains].
Song Zhizhou stared at this line of words, and after pondering for a long time, he sighed: "As expected of your godmother."
