With the help of Hengshun Vehicles and Horses, at least within the boundaries of Fengri City, it would be much easier for the Black Flag Camp to track the flow and specific process of a certain shipment.
Because within the scope of Fengri City, Hengshun Carriage and Horse Racing is not only the largest transportation industry, but also the strongest and most complete transportation capacity. Therefore, as long as large quantities of goods need to be transported over long distances within the borders of Fenglu City, they can only go to Hengshun Carriage Company.
Of course, this is definitely not a good thing for Liu Hengyi, the owner of Hengshun Car and Horse Racing.
First, we deployed people to the Licheng branch, then to the Tukuicheng branch, Tancheng branch...
Even these requests for manpower deployment became increasingly difficult for Liu Hengyi to refuse. At the same time, Liu Hengyi clearly felt that he and the entire Hengshun Car and Horse Company had been tightly trapped by an iron chain thrown by Shen, or even more tightly. , or strangled to death.
Before this, Liu Hengyi never thought that one day he would become a news channel in the hands of Xuan Qingwei. Is this considered scheming?
Actually it's not all bad. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Hengyi thought clearly and did not choose to fight desperately. After all, while enjoying the convenience, Shen did not hesitate to give him benefits. Tell Liu Hengyi directly so that he can increase his efforts to expand his business scope. If there is any grievance, he can come forward to help. Even the entire Jingxi Xuanqingwei can give him a certain degree of help.
Think about it, what will it be like if one day your Hengshun horse racing company can be the strongest in the industry in the entire Jingjiu Dynasty? So I can tolerate being used a little bit.
In this way, with the control of black market channels first, and then the erosion of transportation channels, at least within the scope of Fengri City, the first part of Shen Hao's Black Water Plan already has a very three-dimensional infrastructure.
Now three copies of copper bars are placed in front of Shen Hao. The first one is about the smuggling of pig iron in Xiaoshan Iron Furnace Village. The second and third copies were both sent back yesterday. They are about Tancheng Mine and Tukui City. The first volume of the investigation of Guancang.
The information in the three copper bars proved that the information on the black market was accurate. There was smuggling of national and dynasty resources in these three places.
The pig iron was sold to the Long-Tusk Elephant Clan, and the grain was sold to the Red-Eyed Wolf Clan. Because the transaction for Panling Stone was more hidden, we can only confirm that it was also sent to Ogawa in the end but we don’t know the specific transaction object.
There is a lot of information reflected in these three transactions.
Shen Hao is already sorting out the reported files. He didn't expect that the first appearance of the "Black Water" he created would actually involve the barbarians unexpectedly, and it seemed that the barbarians were dishonest again.
Shen Hao was actually still very hesitant about facing the barbarians. Should we directly crush these bad bugs in the territory and eliminate the case? Or should we continue to dig deeper and find out the reason why the barbarians are buying supplies in such a big way?
Because it seems that the pressure on Xuan Qingwei in the current situation should come from within, right? Otherwise, Jiang Cheng wouldn't be so concerned about the tooth shop. But the barbarians are targeting the outside world, which is inconsistent with the main intention of the above. Shen Hao is not sure whether he can get support from the above.
However, things still have to be tried, so Shen Hao personally wrote the book and tried his best to write the "Summary of Smuggling Situations in Fengri City" in more detail and urgency, hoping to get Jiang Cheng's support.
When I got home after a busy day, the housekeeper Hu Tian came over to me as soon as I walked in. He looked a little unhappy and handed me a greeting card.
"Master Shen, this was delivered at noon today. The person who came to the door was an adjutant from the Yamen. I couldn't help but accept it because of my dignity."
Shen Hao took the post but did not read it immediately. Instead, he asked Hu Tian: "Something happened at home? Are you looking so ugly?"
"Master Shen, it's okay."
Seeing that Hu Tian didn't say anything, Shen Hao turned his head and looked at Xia Nu beside him. When Xia Nu saw this, she immediately opened her mouth and poured it all out. She had wanted to say it for a long time.
"Master, those people who sent the post are very annoying. They said something ugly. They also said that you, Master, are a down-and-out family. If you are taken care of by some king, you won't have any good things to eat... Anyway, there are no good things to say. , Butler Hu is angry with them."
Shen Hao glanced at Hu Tian, who was a little embarrassed, and then picked up the post on the table and opened it. It read: Tianlan City, Song Mansion, Song Zhizhou, sincerely.
Tianlan City, this is the official name of the imperial city.
And the Song Mansion? What's the origin? Who is Song Zhizhou?
Next is the time and place of the banquet, and the words are quite polite. It must be that the Song Mansion is very famous, and they feel that Shen Hao should know about it?
"What is the origin of this Song family?"
"Master Shen, this Song family is very famous in the imperial city. He is one of the top merchants in the country. His business is spread across all walks of life, but the most important thing is the gambling business, and recently he is running a restaurant."
"Betting stall? Restaurant?" Shen Hao frowned slightly.
It is definitely not easy to open a gambling stall in the Jingji Dynasty and become a big businessman. But why are you looking for him? Is there any intersection?
"From what I heard when they sent the post before, it seemed that they were targeting the recipe from Zhangjia Liquor Shop."
"Zhang's Liquor Store? Wuliangye?"
"should be."
Shen Hao understood. This is the fat piece of Wuliangye.
Zhang's daughter-in-law, Aunt Zhang, was Shen Hao's cook when he was in Licheng. Later, when Shen Hao learned that his family had a wine shop, he suddenly told her about some concepts of brewing liquor. After two improvements, the wine named Wuliangye by Shen Hao has barely reached the level of 40 degrees, surpassing almost all the so-called "good wines" on the market. It is an absolute wine country. Excellent product.
Nowadays, Shen Hao accounts for a lot of people in Wuliangye. On the one hand, the Zhang family is grateful, and on the other hand, Shen Hao is also able to protect the Zhang family from wind and rain. However, Shen Hao did not let Wuliangye's store open outside the jurisdiction of Fengri City, because outside the jurisdiction of Fengri City, his name Shen Hao would not be used. You have to wait a little longer to get rich.
Just like this time, the so-called Song family didn't go directly to the Zhang family to ask for the wine recipe, but came to him. Shen Hao knew that the Zhang family would not hand it over if Shen Hao didn't nod in the boundaries of Fengri City. As for using force, with Shen Hao watching over him, no one would take such a big risk.
Shen Hao took a look at the banquet time on the post. It was tomorrow night. He still had some time to get to know the so-called Song family.
The next day, Shen Hao found Wang Yiming in the public house.
"Have you ever heard of the Song family? The one who runs a gambling stall in the imperial city."
Wang Yiming nodded to express his understanding: "The Song family is also very famous in the imperial city. My ancestors once followed the late emperor to conquer all directions and made great contributions, and he was awarded the rank of general. Later, he declined and became a merchant. However, he ran a very good business and was one of the best in the country. Rich family. And I heard that the Song family and the Seventh Prince are very close."
