That night, Qin Yuwen and Manager Xiao rode directly out of the city with their guards and arrived at Bafang Village outside the city.
And soon, orders were issued one after another, and then the subordinates ran out of Zhuangzi one by one.
They only had one order with them, which was to take all the ducks in the surrounding area into the Qin family's bag first.
Such an approach is tantamount to taking food directly from someone else's mouth, but as the Qin family does such a thing, Qin Yuwen doesn't think anyone would dare to resist.
Qin Yuwen stood at the door with his hands behind his hands, looking at the night, and said with a chuckle: "It turns out she is the princess of Beiliang. No wonder she has such a skill, no wonder she can only come here anonymously."
Behind him, Manager Xiao smiled and said: "Yes, now that the news is confirmed, there are also Beiliang caravans along the way, and they are also buying ducks at high prices. I can let this matter go."
Qin Yuwen snorted coldly, "Although our offensive has slowed down a little these days, the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion probably has no money. When I earn this money tomorrow, I will have enough money to take care of Xia Jingyun." "
A trace of gloom flashed across his originally handsome face, and he said in a deep voice: "If I tell him to kneel down and beg me, he won't be able to run away!"
Manager Xiao smiled and said, "Young Master is wise."
In the early morning, a horse ran back to Bafangzhuang. The riders on the horse reported the situation one by one to Manager Wu and Manager Xiao regardless of their hard work.
After everyone had dispersed, Manager Wu smiled and joked: "Young master is just a master. As soon as he spoke, these guys who usually sit but don't stand, lie down and never sit down, all started to eat them one by one. It’s like medicine, and it’s powerful.”
Manager Xiao looked at the paper with the data in his hand with satisfaction, "Let them have something to eat and take a rest. After the work is completed, the young master will have his own reward."
Manager Wu quickly thanked everyone, and then watched with envy as Manager Xiao walked towards the room where the young master was resting.
"Sir, it's been done. We have bought all the ducks in the pen in Changle County where we are located. Other counties in Gyeonggi are also continuously transferring them. It is now confirmed that the number in our hands has reached 18. There are 10,000 of them. But because the previous news cannot be sealed, even if we come forward, most of the purchase prices are still 60 yuan, and as many as 80 yuan. We basically use the remaining cash on hand. More than half of it.”
Qin Yuwen waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. According to what Deng Jinbiao said, the other party offered the price to 300 yuan. Let's try to figure it out, maybe even higher. 180,000 pieces, 300 yuan each, 54,000 yuan." Two. The net profit is nearly thirty thousand taels! If you can earn this profit in just a few days, even the Qin family is proud of it."
"That's right. If this happens, the clan elders will definitely praise the young master."
Qin Yuwen smiled lightly, as proud as ever.
"Sir, it's not good!"
At this moment, Manager Wu staggered in and said, "Sir, it's not good!"
Manager Xiao immediately asked with half anger and half surprise: "What happened?"
Manager Wu quickly said: "Some villagers from the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion got more than 50,000 ducks from somewhere and are loading them into cages and transporting them to Huilong Town, intending to sell them to those Beiliang people!"
"What?"
Qin Yuwen immediately turned around in shock, "Are you sure there are more than 50,000?"
Steward Wu nodded, "It was the spy we had planted before who came secretly to report. He said that he heard what Steward Zhuang said with his own mouth and saw it with his own eyes, a lot!"
Qin Yuwen frowned, "How could there be so many of them!"
Manager Xiao also looked solemn and said: "It's entirely possible. A few days ago, we contacted the farmers and villagers around them and sold a lot of fruits, vegetables, poultry, and livestock to them. Although the ducks were canceled later, the previous three There can be tens of thousands of them every day."
"These days, I heard the news and went to buy some secretly. With the management of these Zhuangzi in Jiang'anhou Mansion, it is not difficult to stock up on twenty or thirty thousand. In addition, they also have some breeding of their own, maybe several thousand. This number is quite easy to match.”
"The most important question now is that if they succeed in selling all 50,000 to those Beiliang people, the Beiliang people may have bought enough and don't want to buy them, or they may think the price can be so low and are unwilling to If you give us a high price, we won’t make that much money.”
Manager Xiao opened his mouth to analyze, and the more he spoke, the more unhappy he became. He punched the table angrily, "These people can tolerate it until now before taking action. They are so insidious and cunning!"
Qin Yuwen's face was as dark as water, and Guanshi Xiao's analysis pierced his heart.
What's even more uncomfortable is that there is also my own "help" in this.
"This Xia Jingyun's ghost is really lingering, it's really hateful!"
However, as one of the four young masters in Zhongjing City, he did have something in his mind. He pondered for a moment, "Did we sign contracts with these Zhuangzi before, asking them to sell all their things to us and have the Qin family distribute them? "
Manager Xiao nodded, "Yes, but it has not been destroyed."
"Get the contract immediately! Let's stop them!"
"Ah?" Manager Xiao couldn't wrap his mind around it for a moment, "The contracts are all in the city. We can't get them until the city opens at dawn."
"You're stupid. You go back and get it as soon as possible. Once you get it, bring it to me. I'll get a fake one first. Anyway, as long as he knows we have the real one!"
As he spoke, Qin Yuwen immediately asked Manager Wu to lead the way, gathered his men, and rushed into the bright sky.
"hurry up!"
"Don't wait! We must arrive at Huilong Town before dawn."
"Everyone, please work harder. We are only a few miles away from Huilong Town! If we finish our errands, we will all be rewarded!"
A long team, like a long snake, marched on the official road.
In the team, the steward on horseback was shouting and encouraging in a low voice, and everyone was walking forward seriously and quickly.
Although the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion is not very powerful among the many major forces in Beijing, the leader of the Concubine De has set the tone for the entire force. From top to bottom, rewards and punishments are clear, leniency and severity are balanced, and the overall atmosphere is very good. After Xia Jingyun took charge, it was still the same as before, so even when faced with temporary difficulties, everyone was still in the same mood.
Just when Huilong Town was already in sight, a messy and rapid sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from behind everyone.
A team of more than ten people roared past them, causing the ducks in the cage to quack.
After the team passed them, they turned their horses and blocked their way.
The leader smiled and said, "Everyone, where are you going?"
The leading steward of the Hou Mansion used the faint morning light to see clearly the face of the speaker. His expression suddenly changed and he quickly raised his hands and saluted, "Mr. Qian, what kind of wind has brought you here."
Qin Yuwen was condescending, smiling playfully, "Of course it's Qian Feng."
He looked at the steward who was speechless for a moment and said directly: "These ducks were sold to me for a hundred coins. You take the money and leave!"
The steward of Hou Mansion Zhuangzi immediately looked ugly and said: "Mr. Qian, you are going too far to deceive others by doing this!"
"Is this too much of a lie?" Qin Yuwen smiled, "The Marquis of Jiang'an has signed a supply and marketing contract with my Qin family. These things should be handed over to my Qin family for distribution. If you secretly sell things to others, I haven't held you accountable for breaking the contract. You are still saying that I have gone too far to deceive others?"
"Mr. Qian, you should understand better than anyone else that this contract is now void!"
"Really? Then do you think those Beiliang barbarians understand it? Do they believe you or the deed written in black and white?"
Qin Yuwen took out a deed from his arms and flicked it, then leaned down and looked at the steward with a playful smile, "Guess again, do they dare to buy something from someone who has a dispute with my Qin family? "
Deng Jinbiao, who was standing by, immediately spoke up and said, "Young master, I am giving you a chance, so don't be ignorant! Otherwise, if trouble breaks out, you ducks won't be able to sell any of them, and you will have to die in the cage!"
The steward looked extremely ugly and said, "Let us discuss this."
Qin Yuwen nodded proudly.
Several stewards of Zhuangzi under the command of the Marquis of Jiang'an gathered together. After a heated discussion, the man came back with a livid face and said, "Master Qian, one hundred and fifty thousand coins, and we will sell all of these fifty thousand ducks to you." Otherwise, we won’t be able to pay the price at all, so we’d rather not sell it and let my young master negotiate with you.”
What Qin Yuwen wants at the moment is to cut through the mess quickly. If Xia Jingyun comes, he might cause some mess. After thinking about it for a moment, he can make a profit of 150 wen each, which is also a few thousand taels of silver. It can not harm the overall situation of oneself.
So he nodded, "Okay!"
The steward added, "We want cash in cash."
Qin Yuwen waved his hand, "Give me the money!"
Putting the 7,500 taels of silver notes into their arms, a group of stewards reluctantly glanced at the increasingly clear Huilong Town in the distance, gritted their teeth and waved, "Let's go!"
The crowd simply left, leaving cage after cage of ducks behind.
Qin Yuwen nodded with satisfaction, "Leave four people here to take care of it, send two more people to rush the team behind, and the rest follow me!"
With that said, he turned the horse's head again and rushed towards Huilong Town.
On the streets of Huilong Town, Deng Jinbiao pointed ahead, "Sir, they are staying in this inn."
Qin Yuwen looked at this extremely ordinary inn in front of him and sighed secretly in his heart. The secret envoys of the dignified Emperor Beiliang lived in a place like this. They really took the trouble to make this trip.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that my Qin family has such ability to find out such secrets in three or four days.
With this secret in hand, aren't they just left to their own devices?
Feeling proud, he told Deng Jinbiao: "According to what I said before, as a respect for you, I will not go in. Don't expose the existence of the Qin family, go talk to them!"
Deng Jinbiao looked excited, nodded, and walked towards the inn with a few people.
Qin Yuwen walked into a breakfast shop with his guards and ordered two bowls of soy milk, two steamed buns, and a plate of pickles.
He has always been well-dressed and well-fed, but suddenly he felt that although the food in the market was not on the market, it still had its own flavor.
For now, just enjoy the breakfast slowly and wait quietly for the money to fall into your pocket!
It was well worth the sleepless night.
As soon as he took a sip of the thick soy milk, a burst of hurried footsteps rushed over. The leader was Deng Jinbiao, who was supposed to be talking about business with the group of Beiliang people in the inn.
At this moment, his face showed unprecedented panic and horror, "Sir, it's bad, those Beiliang people are gone!"
Qin Yuwen blinked, he was a little confused by the news.
Deng Jinbiao quickly added: "I asked the shopkeeper, and he said that those people checked out and left before the second watch, and now they have disappeared."
Qin Yuwen finally came to his senses, swaying and feeling a little unsteady.
180,000 ducks, oh no, I just bought 50,000 ducks, a total of 230,000 ducks. I spent more than 20,000 taels of silver to buy the high-priced ducks, just throw away them?
Where's the three hundred we agreed upon?
"What's wrong with Mr. Qin? Why does his face look so ugly?"
A clear voice sounded, and two figures walked into the breakfast shop in the morning light.
The leader was wearing a green shirt and had a gentle smile.
Qin Yuwen gritted his teeth, "Xia Jingyun!"
