Chapter 16 Chapter 15 Yellow River Fish Merchants
Feng Sai rushed outside Liangmen, Jiang Yutou, the general manager of the fish store, was already waiting there.
He first asked Jiang Yutou to find a boat from a fish shop, and together they went to the Ciyuan in Qinguanghe to beg for carp.Qin Guanghe deeply loves the wild style of Xu Xi, a painter of the Five Dynasties and Southern Tang Dynasty, whose landscapes, flowers and birds are unrefined. His kindness garden does not need to be carved, but only seeks to be calm and peaceful. Entering the garden is like stepping into the wilds of the south of the Yangtze River.Between the fragrant trees and green grass, thatched pavilions and wooden bridges, there is a meandering water.
A Fang, the manager of the garden, knew Feng Sai well, and when he heard that the master's family had agreed, he took them to fish in Qugou.Those fish were really fat, each weighing at least three or four catties, and the big ones even weighed ten catties.These fish are usually not disturbed and are not afraid of people. It is easy to catch a hundred fish.Jiang Yutou watched from the side, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it, so he hurriedly ordered the boat to send it into the city quickly.
Today's fish crisis in the palace can be regarded as temporarily dealt with.
Only then did Feng Sai and Jiang Yutou rush to Luokou, a journey of more than a hundred miles. During a break, Feng Sai asked roughly about Yuhang.
There are four rivers in Bianjing, Bianhe River, Caihe River, Jinshui River and Wuzhang River.Among them, the Bianhe River is divided into two parts, the upstream and the downstream.The fish merchants in the capital gathered on these five rivers. There are five largest fish merchants in the fish shop, occupying the five rivers.
At the beginning of last month, the fish in the upper reaches of the Bian River suddenly ran out of stock. Zhang Ci hurriedly sent Jiang Yutou to Luokou to check, but he couldn't find the big fish merchants who usually traded everywhere.On the third day, Feng Bao led a businessman named Yu Fu to meet Xingshou Zhangci, saying that all the prices of goods have risen now, and fish must also rise.Originally, after the beginning of spring, the number of fish gradually increased, and the price of fish on the market dropped to 85 yuan per catty, while the fishmonger sold it to the fish shop for 65 yuan.But Yu Fu wants to raise it to seventy coins.
Zhang Ci has been in Bianjing for the first 30 years, and he has always been fawned on by fishmongers. Where has he been blackmailed by fishmongers?Immediately ordered the family to order soup to send off.He also ordered Jiang Yutou to rush to Luokou immediately. When Jiang Yutou arrived at Luokou, after searching for a long time, he finally found an old acquaintance fishmonger. From the fishmonger's mouth, he learned that Yu Fu went to the Yellow River to cut off the supply of goods. , Collect their fish at sixty-five Wen per catty.From the Yellow River to Bianjing, there are three tax customs along the way, each of which requires a 2% tax.Yu Fu not only reduced the tax by 6% for these fishmongers, but also saved them from the hard work of going back and forth for more than 100 miles and the difficulties of three tax customs. Of course they were very happy.
In this way, all the fish in the Yellow River were bought out by Yu Fu.
Jiang Yutou hurriedly went back to Bianjing to report to Zhang Ci, who Zhang Ci said after hearing this: "He issued sixty-five Chinese, we will issue sixty-eight!" Jiang Yutou went to Luokou again, and then went back to the Yellow River by boat , I found those fish merchants, but they said that Yu Fugang raised the purchase price to seventy yuan again.Jiang Yutou had to go back to Bianjing to report again. Zhang Ci's face darkened after hearing this, and he said after a while, "Bring that Yu Fu."
Feng Bao came to ask Jiang Yutou every day for two days. At this time, he saw Jiang Yutou took the initiative to look for him, but suddenly put on airs and said that Yu Fu was negotiating a deal with the other four big fish in Yuhang.Jiang Yutou begged for a long time before he lazily agreed and asked Zhang Ci to meet Yu Fu at Panlou, the number one restaurant in Beijing the next day.How could Jiang Yutou dare to say that after he went back, he only said that Yu Fu was still in Luokou and would come back tomorrow.
The next day, Zhang Ci went to Panlou. When he got there, he saw Yu Fu and Feng Bao had invited more than a dozen singers to fill the wine room, singing and laughing.Seeing Zhang Ci come in, Yu Fu was still holding a prostitute in his arms, and asked drunkenly, "Seventy Wen, is it settled?" Zhang Ci had no choice but to nod.Feng Bao took out the contract that had been written, and invited the owner of Panlou to be a guarantee, and signed the contract together.
Since then, Yu Fu has sent fish every day, but sometimes early, sometimes late, and the fish species and sizes are always uncertain.As a result, all the fish merchants in Beijing who bought goods from Zhang Ci complained, and many went to pick up the goods from the other four.But within two days, Yu Fu extended his hand to the other four, still paying high prices, and one family cut off their supply.In this way, all the fish in the capital was cut off by Yu Fu alone, and it was difficult for every family.
Feng Sai was secretly surprised when he heard this.This Yu Fu's method is exactly the same as Tan Li's manipulating the charcoal shop, and Zhu Guang who wants to come to the pig shop is probably the same.
The three people's name counterfeiting method is similar, and the method of manipulating the firm is also similar. Could it be that they know each other?Could it be that I have caused some enemies, and they came to revenge together?That's why Tan Licai asked me to be a broker by name, and Yu Fu and Zhu Guang chose Feng Bao to be a dentist?Tan Li kidnapped Qiu Han's mother and daughter for this reason?
As he and Jiang Yutou hurried on the road, he recalled what he had experienced in his life.At the beginning of his career as a dentist, although his father was unwilling, he saw that it was difficult to dissuade him. One day with a straight face, he ordered Feng Sai to kneel in front of the ancestor's spiritual tablet, and solemnly admonished him:
"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, you can't be short of everything. Being able to support yourself is the way to be an adult. Especially for merchants, trading wealth and goods, getting what you need is the most important thing, and it is also the most addictive. Since you are determined to be a dentist, then It must be remembered that people do not have faith and do not know what is possible. Businesses are born by faith, things are made by faith, and people are established by faith. Although my Feng family has been poor for generations, I have always respected myself and others. What kind of breach of trust and morality. The neighbors and old friends are all witnesses, and they are all witnesses. You have entered this industry, and in your future life, no matter how rich or poor you are, you must not lose the word "faith" until you die. Otherwise, you are not I am a descendant of the Feng family! Do you remember?!"
"The son must keep it in mind and never dare to tarnish the reputation of his father and grandfather."
He made an oath sincerely at the time, but after entering the business, he discovered that merchants are the most cunning and unpredictable, and it is rare to meet a few trustworthy people.However, he is simple and straightforward by nature, he doesn't like to be scheming or deceitful, and feels tired.Even in terms of profit, once you break your promise, it will be difficult to do business.Only by keeping promises can we have long-term business.Therefore, he has been in the industry for more than ten years, and he has always been unwilling to break his promise. When negotiating deals and signing contracts, he also tried his best to be careful not to leave any omissions, so as not to let the buyer and the seller lose their trust.
There was only one time when he negotiated a tea quotation transaction in his hometown. Because he was young and lacked eyesight, he did not pay attention to the expiration date of the tea quotation, which almost caused the buyer to lose all his property and almost drowned himself.Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and fortunately, the fraudulent seller was caught up, and the defrauded money was recovered and returned to the buyer.If there is any grudge, it is the fake seller back then.But even if he held grudges, he wouldn't come to retaliate more than ten years later, and make such a big battle, and at the same time disturb the three major commercial firms in Bianjing.
After much deliberation, I can't explain it, and I can't find a better reason.However, he always felt that this matter might really have something to do with him.
After more than two hours, the two of them finally arrived at Luokou, and it was already past noon. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, suffering from the flooding of the Yellow River, and the Bianhe River was often silted up and cut off, canals and ditches were dug and water gates were set up to draw the Yellow River water into the Bianhe River to wash away the silt of the Bianhe River, ensure water transportation, and relieve the flood of the Yellow River.Later, in order to relieve the flood of Luoshui, gates and embankments were built to guide Luotong to Bian.Although Luokou is only a small town, the Yellow River, Luoshui River and Bianhe River converge here, connecting Bianliang to the east and Luoyang to the west, making it much more lively than ordinary towns. Jiang Yutou was a little irritable, and he was a little absent-minded and impatient along the way, but he was still polite to Feng Sai, and there was nothing rude about it.In the middle of the town, the town is divided into three parts by the canals of the Yellow River and the Luoshui River. The intersections are connected by three bridges. People and boats are crowded and very noisy.Jiang Yutou got off his horse and looked around in a hurry. "Brother Jiang, haven't all those fish merchants been stopped in the upper reaches of the Yellow River?" Feng Sai asked. "Look here first. I haven't seen fish in the past two days. I'm afraid that Yu Fu didn't go to the Yellow River to collect fish. Those fish merchants can't sell them. Maybe he came to Luokou—oh! There!" Feng Sai followed the voice and saw four middle-aged men standing outside a tea shop by the bridge, each holding a horse, and looking in this direction.Feng Sai led the horse and followed Jiang Yutou. "All four of you together? I'm going to look for you." Jiang Yutou crossed his arms and asked. "Oh? Manager Jiang." The four of them returned the salute together. "This is Jingcheng Yajue, Mr. Feng Sai..." Jiang Yutou introduced, "These four are the four largest fish merchants on the other side of the Yellow River, Brother Zhou, Brother Li, Brother Wang, and Brother Cui." Feng Sai looked at them while paying respects. The four of them were all wearing ordinary old silk shirts, and their bodies exuded some fishy smell. "Let's go in and talk..." Jiang Yutou asked the shop assistants to fasten their horses, invited everyone into the tea shop, and chose a quiet table near the river in the corner. Yutou and Feng Sai sat next to each other and ordered tea. Jiang Yutou asked, "I haven't seen your fish being shipped to Bianjing in the past two days. What's going on?" "We were wondering too. After waiting for two days, Yu Fu didn't come to pick up the goods. We couldn't sit still this morning, so we rushed to Luokou to have a look. We searched everywhere, but we didn't see Yu Fu." Zhou frowned and said, he is the oldest. "Not only did he delay your business with us, but he even lacked the fish in the palace." "Oh? Is he sick?" "I don't know. I've searched all over the capital for the past two days, but I can't find him." "How good is this?" Zhou said with a sigh.The other three also looked worried and shook their heads together. "If we continue like this, everyone will die. Otherwise..." Jiang Yutou suggested, "You still sell the fish to us?" "This...we have already signed a contract with Yu Fu, and it is not easy to break the contract." "He didn't pick up the goods for two days, and he has already breached the contract." "That being said, in case he is just sick, if we sell it to you rashly, he will make a fuss..." "The miscellaneous buyer has sued him to the Kaifeng mansion, and the Kaifeng mansion is looking for him everywhere." "real?" "Is this still fake?" Hearing this, Feng Sai took out the official announcement with Yu Fu's name from his arms, and handed it over.The one surnamed Zhou saw it, and frowned again: "This is not easy." The other three also looked at it one by one, and asked, "Brother Zhou, what do you think we should do?" The man surnamed Zhou bowed his head and thought for a while: "This official document is just an inference, not a final verdict. We don't know the result. We have to wait, otherwise, if he is found not guilty, it will be our fault of." "Well, that makes sense." The other three nodded together. "What if you are found guilty?" Jiang Yutou asked hurriedly. "Then it will be easier for us. Then we can trade with Mr. Jiang." "Who knows how long this case will go to trial? You just keep waiting?" "Oh, we can't do anything. We have suffered from lawsuits before, even if we lose some money, we don't dare to do it again." Jiang Yutou advised again and again, but the four kept shaking their heads and shied away, not daring to sell the fish to him.Jiang Yutou turned his head and shouted: "Second brother Feng, you can also say a few words!" Feng Sai originally wanted to persuade, but after listening to a few words, he felt that something was wrong, so he didn't intervene and just listened quietly.Seeing that Jiang Yutou was anxious, he said: "The concerns of the four dear friends are naturally reasonable, but if it continues like this, firstly, everyone will delay the business, and people will wait, but fish will not; secondly, what Yu Fu did is true. It is because he has violated the prohibition of solidarity and participation in the market, and it is impossible to be completely innocent; third, Yu Fu's single-handed effort to stop the fish business in the entire capital seems to be a bit threatening, but everyone They are all businessmen who have been in business for many years, so they naturally know the truth that the dragon cannot beat the snake, not to mention the few big merchants in the Bianjing fish shop, which one is not Tianlong? You and the Bianjing fish shop are long-term business." "Feng Xianggong is indeed worthy of Bianjing Yajue. However, in the way of doing business, trust is the foundation and contracts are the basis. Since we have signed a contract with Yu Fu, unless he really breaks the contract, we really dare not break the contract first. " After hearing this, Feng Sai felt more and more wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while. "Everyone, don't regret it." Jiang Yutou said. The four people stopped talking and laughed and sighed together. Jiang Yutou had no choice but to leave with a bitter face, and when he came out, he couldn't help sighing: "Four fish heads! It seems that this matter can only be resolved after the government catches Yu Fu and punishes him." "Let's look for other fish merchants?" Feng Sai looked at Jiang Yutou. "On the way to the Yellow River, these four people are the strongest, accounting for more than 80% of the business. Even if you find other small fish merchants, the goods will not help you." "Then we can only return without success?" "The four of them don't want to sell it. What can I do? Brother Feng, you go back first, I have to go to Luoyang, Xijing. The head of the line ordered that if the negotiation fails here, go to the fish shop in Xijing. Even if the price is high, I will find some fish and go back. emergency." "Success. The pig shop and the charcoal shop are also waiting for me urgently, so I'll go back first." Jiang Yutou sent Feng Sai to the intersection at the east end of the town before stopping to say goodbye. Feng Sai got on his horse and rode for a while, doubts arose in his heart.Looking back, Jiang Yutou was still standing at the intersection and watching, so he continued to urge the horse forward, rounded a bay, and stopped the horse when Jiang Yutou could not see it. wrong-- First, Jiang Yutou's attitude was wrong. First, although Yu Fu's big trouble was caused by Yu Fu, but Feng Bao is a middle-aged man, so he can hardly absolve himself of the blame.This has always caused Jiang Yutou to run around, and received a lot of scolding from Xingshou Zhangci. He was naturally very angry with Feng Bao, and even secretly disliked me.He is the general manager of the Bianjing Fish Company, although his status is not as high as the head of the line, he is far higher than me, and he has no business transfer in the past, so logically speaking, he doesn't have to take my affection into account at all.However, he talked to me all the way very politely, as if he was afraid of me. Second, Yu Fu went to the upper reaches of the Yellow River to cut off the fish source, and saved the Yellow River fish merchants from the trouble of Luokou and the lower reaches of the Bianhe River tax customs. Of course, the four Yellow River fish merchants did not have to come to Luokou.However, as soon as Jiang Yutou arrived at Luokou, he hurriedly searched for the Four Merchants of the Yellow River, as if he was certain that the four of them would definitely be in Luokou.Moreover, I found it quickly.It seems unexpected, but I am afraid it is not an accident. Third, the four merchants of the Yellow River have always refused to sell fish to Jiang Yutou.Jiang Yutou is an impatient person. At this time, he would be angry logically, or at least he should question that the four merchants of the Yellow River were greedy for profit.Jiang Yutou did not question angrily. Fourth, when we broke up just now, he was going to rush to Xijing, but he sent me to the east first, watching me go away.Of course, this is not out of respect for me, but... to guard against me.Watch out for what? The answer probably lies in the four merchants of the Yellow River—— First, the four merchants of the Yellow River are fish merchants and should be on board all year round.It is not slow to come to Luokou along the Yellow River, but they came to Luokou on horseback. Second, during the discussion, only the surname Zhou spoke, and the other three just echoed.But Yu Fu has not picked up the goods for two consecutive days, and I don't know how many days it will be delayed.As businessmen, buying and selling is a matter of nature, but the four of them unanimously insisted on keeping their promises, and none of them raised any objections, which is unnatural. Third, the four of them violated the old agreement with the Bianjing fish shop and resold the fish to Yu Fu for a few pennies.However, at this time, he did not hesitate to interrupt the business at all, and was determined to keep the contract, even if he offended the palace and the government, he would not waver. These four people are probably not Yellow River fish merchants! If it was really a Yellow River fish merchant, their business would be interrupted for two days, and they would be extremely anxious.At this time, the old customers came to buy fish, as if they were saving their lives, and they couldn't wait to sell them.Even if Yu Fu came to ask at that time, Yu Fu had breached the contract first, and there was no reason at all. So, who are the four?Why fake Yellow River fish merchants? Feng Sai suddenly thought of the struggle between Zhu Deshi, Zang Qi and Wu Meng. The first gift from the Guiyu Bank in the upper reaches of the Bian River, he is the largest fish merchant in the capital, and the fish merchants in the other four rivers are naturally jealous and covetous.Just like if Wu Meng's goods continue to break, they will naturally collapse.The fish in the upper reaches of the Bian River have been cut off, and Zhang Ci is naturally difficult to support.Those four people were probably sent by the other four merchants of the Bianjing Fish Company, and they rushed here one step ahead of time, intending to prevent me from finding the Yellow River fish merchants and relieve Zhang Ci from the danger of being out of stock. And Jiang Yutou had already betrayed his master and made an appointment with them in secret, so he felt guilty, suppressed his anger along the way, and was very polite to me; when talking with the four people, he was only pretending to persuade, and did not get really angry; When you broke up with me, you just insisted on sending me to the intersection, and you can rest assured only after seeing me go far. Thinking of this, Feng Sai suddenly felt disgusted and resentful. His wife and daughter's whereabouts were unknown, but troubles continued one after another.Only after experiencing the greedy and fierce fighting between the three merchants of the charcoal bank, and the fish bank was like this, they unintentionally stepped into a dangerous situation. He didn't want to get involved any more, so he swung his whip and urged the horse to rush to Bianjing. However, after only a hundred steps, he had no choice but to rein in the horse.If Yuhang's troubles are not sorted out, he will only be entangled when he goes back, and he still has no way to find his wife and daughter with all his strength.He felt bitter for a while, looked at the Tangtang River, let out a sigh of relief, suppressed the anger in his heart, and hurriedly thought of countermeasures.
After more than two hours, the two of them finally arrived at Luokou, and it was already past noon. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, suffering from the flooding of the Yellow River, and the Bianhe River was often silted up and cut off, canals and ditches were dug and water gates were set up to draw the Yellow River water into the Bianhe River to wash away the silt of the Bianhe River, ensure water transportation, and relieve the flood of the Yellow River.Later, in order to relieve the flood of Luoshui, gates and embankments were built to guide Luotong to Bian.Although Luokou is only a small town, the Yellow River, Luoshui River and Bianhe River converge here, connecting Bianliang to the east and Luoyang to the west, making it much more lively than ordinary towns.

His wife and daughter's whereabouts were unknown, but troubles continued one after another.Only after experiencing the greedy and fierce fighting between the three merchants of the charcoal bank, and the fish bank was like this, they unintentionally stepped into a dangerous situation. He didn't want to get involved any more, so he swung his whip and urged the horse to rush to Bianjing. However, after only a hundred steps, he had no choice but to rein in the horse.If Yuhang's troubles are not sorted out, he will only be entangled when he goes back, and he still has no way to find his wife and daughter with all his strength.He felt bitter for a while, looked at the Tangtang River, let out a sigh of relief, suppressed the anger in his heart, and hurriedly thought of countermeasures.
