Chapter 1530: I can’t spend any money
Gulin said with a blush: "Yes. I bought five plots of land, two of which are in Shanghu District."
Who doesn’t want free money?
He Lingchuan smiled: "As expected of President Gu, he never misses any opportunity."
Being able to buy in Shanghu District means you acted early.
Vision and courage are excellent qualities that a successful businessman must have.
Gulin immediately said, "Master He is the senior governor of the new city expansion. I was just about to ask him a question."
Gulin was considered half his own, so He Lingchuan spoke directly: "It must be sold within two months."
The new city expansion project has been underway for a month.
"Two months?" Gulin was moved, but didn't ask any more questions. "Okay!"
He personally poured a cup of tea for He Lingchuan before starting to report:
"We purchased 39 kinds of medicinal materials, including blood lotus and scutellaria baicalensis, from Xiaochongshan, Longhe, and Moyan, totaling 490,000 kilograms; about 80,000 packages of semi-finished medicines and elixirs; and 21 kinds of spices, totaling 1.7 million kilograms."
"We collected 310,000 kilograms of various synthetic mineral powders and catalysts from Tongshan, Yinhe, Zhuoxu and other places; and purchased more than 500 standard magic tools from Lingdonglai and other casting sects." Copper, iron and many precious metals cannot be purchased directly because of strict official control.
"This year, there has been plenty of rain, and the Tongguan horses have given birth to many pups. I have also managed to get more than 780 horses, both large and small, and they will be shipped out of Yao Country in the next two days."
He Lingchuan was overjoyed and clapped his hands in praise: "Great, Tonglinji's sword is still as good as ever."
Tongguan is a place name, next to Chigu. In the central and western parts of the Golden Plain, Chigu horses are very famous. More than a hundred years ago, when the Ying people were raising Chigu horses, the male horses often slipped into the forest. The herders in the Tongguan area secretly drove away their own mares and went to Chigu horses to borrow seeds.
The hybrid descendants of the Chigu horse were thus produced, and after more than a hundred years of breeding, it became a stable new breed:
Bronze Pass Horse.
Although its performance on the battlefield is not as good as that of the Chigu Horse, its patience is better, and its temperament is more stable and gentle. It is not as difficult to serve as the Chigu Horse, and the survival rate of its cubs is high, so it has also become a very popular horse breed.
Most importantly, the ancestors of the Tongguan people were nomadic people who migrated from Pixia and Peiguo, and were not native to Yaoguo, so they did not obey the laws of Yaoguo. Yaoguo strictly controlled the export of Chigu horses, but the Tongguan people had been selling horses openly and secretly. The Yaowang Court had repeatedly asked about it, which caused serious conflicts. The management cost was too high, so they could only turn a blind eye.
Tongguan is located close to the border, so Tongguan horses have always appeared in the border horse market.
The Yangshan Islands are in great need of such important strategic resources.
"Try to collect more, but don't draw attention." He Lingchuan also knew that his request was too high.
Gulin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tonglinji has empty chambers of commerce all over the country, and we can also buy in other people's names. The list of 700 Tongguan horses was apparently bought by eight chambers of commerce, two herding tribes, and several forces outside the pass. I don't know how many batches of horses are sold in the horse market every day, and it won't attract attention."
He helped He Lingchuan to purchase various materials, also using the method of the Empty Package Chamber of Commerce. According to He Lingchuan's understanding, it was a series of empty shells, scattered, small, and multiple purchases to avoid arousing official vigilance.
The method is complex and cannot be easily traced.
Gulin was also very emotional.
After Tu Yuanhong's death, he worked hard to maintain Tonglinji, not only these shops and more than a hundred employees, but also Tonglinji's empty-package chambers of commerce in various places. This kind of chamber of commerce usually has a person in charge in the local area. Not only do they have some business activities, but they also have to get to know some officials and wealthy people so that they will not arouse suspicion when they act.
These are where you really need to spend time, effort and money.
Gulin's hard work has finally paid off. All the empty-package chambers of commerce have been used, but He Lingchuan still thinks it's not enough.
If nothing unexpected happens, the profits that Tonglinji gets from Yangshan will not only restore its vitality, but also make it bigger and stronger.
But Gulin was very clear that he and Tonglinji were now caught in a dangerous vortex.
You have to earn money and live to spend it.
"How much money did you spend?"
"So far, 1,877,000 taels." Gulin reported, "The most expensive one is Qian Donglai's magic weapon."
"Too little." He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "Money will soon be worthless. We need to exchange it for supplies as soon as possible."
King Yao had always been on guard against him taking away the huge sum of several million taels of silver. Haha, actually, he had no such intention at all.
It is best for Yao State’s money to remain in Yao State.
"What else would you like to buy?" Tonglinji has already done its best.
He Lingchuan saw that his eyes were bloodshot and he looked thinner, so he knew that he must have been very busy recently and was out of breath.
But there is no way, time is tight and the task is heavy.
"Do you know Lu Yuanzheng, the boss of the Baihe Lu family?"
Gulin thought for a moment and said, "He seems to be in charge of the warehouse in Qidi. Tonglinji has dealt with him several times before."
"The large granaries in Mangzhou North and Taoshui City are also under his management?" These two places have rich soil and water and abundant food, and are themselves important grain-producing areas of Yao State.
"Correct."
"It's almost time to exchange grain at the granary. The Lu family is very short of money recently and even borrowed hundreds of thousands of taels from the Qi family. This is a good opportunity. Send someone to contact Lu Yuanzheng to buy grain. The price is favorable."
The public warehouses have to replace grain every summer and autumn, that is, sell some old grain and buy new grain for normal replacement. The crops in Yao country mature late, and it will take another month or so for the autumn grain to be harvested in various places. Now is the time when there is a shortage of food.
Gulin agreed and asked, "How much do you want to buy?"
He Lingchuan raised a finger: "At least this much."
Gulin was surprised: "So many?"
"You do your best." He Lingchuan also knew that the amount was too large and Tong Linji might not be able to get it with his ability.
Gulin coughed lightly and said, "No, no, it's still possible. At this time of year in previous years, the public warehouses were already secretly selling grain."
He Lingchuan was a little surprised: "Oh?"
"If we really wait until the autumn harvest, the grain price will be low. It's better to sell it now. Anyway, we can buy new grain in more than a month, and then the account will be balanced without anyone knowing. Lu Yuanzheng is in charge of these warehouses, how could he not know the tricks?" Gulin laughed, "According to the rules, of course it is not allowed openly, and the number of grains exchanged each year is limited. But they do this secretly, and have been doing this for more than ten years. Who cares about the rules? Later, they sell earlier and earlier, and sell more and more."
He Lingchuan nodded. Lu Yuanzheng spent 370,000 yuan to buy his brother back to the capital safely, and his family was seriously injured. I'm afraid there won't be much money left. And the land price in Tianshui New City has skyrocketed. If he wants to seize this opportunity to get rich, he has to work hard to make money.
He Lingchuan put a lot of banknotes in front of him, and he could get them as long as he nodded. Could he really resist?
