Chapter 304 Zheng's Trading Company
"600 taels? Wow! I've never seen so much money before!"
"I've never seen it either!"
"Isn't this too much?"
"To earn so much money by making this trip in just two days, this money is too easy to earn!"
"..."
Skinny Monkey and the others stared wide-eyed, as if they were copper bells. For them, who had once been refugees, six hundred taels of silver was undoubtedly an astronomical figure. What was even more terrifying was that... they didn't have to exert too much effort to earn six hundred taels of silver.
All it takes is to buy chickens from Chenjia Village and transport them to Ding'an County in two days to earn so much money...
"Great! With this money, we'll never have to worry about food and clothing again!"
"Not only that! We might even be able to get wives!"
"Six hundred taels of silver, and we each got three or four taels, enough to marry a city wife!"
"..."
After a brief moment of shock, everyone became excited.
Given Zhang He's personality, having earned so much money, he certainly wouldn't treat them unfairly; he would at least give each of them four or five taels of silver.
Don't underestimate these four or five taels of silver; it's more than enough for them to eat and stay warm, and even marry a beautiful wife!
Looking at the excited crowd, Zhang He was thinking about something else entirely.
He did not intend to distribute the six hundred taels of silver among the people, but rather to use it to expand his business!
With an initial investment of 500 taels of silver, he earned nearly 2000 taels. If he were to reinvest the 600 taels of profit into his business, wouldn't he be able to earn 4000 taels, or even 5000 taels?
also……
Zhang He glanced at the deep woods on both sides of the official road. These days, traveling as a merchant was not safe; one could be robbed by bandits at any moment. Therefore…
Zhang He planned to use the money to properly train his brothers and try to turn them into martial artists to protect the caravan!
…………
…………
Ding'an City, Weiwu Escort Agency, backyard.
When Zhang He and the others left Ding'an City, Wei Jing was sitting in the backyard, staring blankly at the chicken blood on the table.
He had already tried the effects of the chicken blood in the morning, and it was indeed extraordinary. It was effective even for seventh-rank martial artists, but the effect was not particularly noticeable.
On the contrary, it is extremely effective against martial artists below the seventh rank!
Just now, Wei Jing had a ninth-rank peak bodyguard from the escort agency try out the effects of the chicken blood. After drinking the chicken blood, the bodyguard's blood and qi surged, and he broke through his realm directly in front of Wei Jing, advancing to the eighth-rank realm in one fell swoop!
"This chicken blood is truly extraordinary!"
Wei Jing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He had already eaten the meat of the Blood Feather Chicken, and at this moment he could faintly feel that his physique was being improved imperceptibly, which made Wei Jing very happy.
Since advancing to the seventh rank, he hadn't felt this kind of progress for a long time, but now, the meat and blood of the Blood Feather Chicken gave him hope for further improvement!
"Head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) and 掌柜子 (manager Wang) request an audience!"
Just then, an announcement came from outside.
"Please come in quickly!"
Before long, a well-dressed, somewhat wealthy middle-aged man walked into the backyard.
"Chief Escort, it's been a long time!"
"Shopkeeper Wang."
Wei Jing nodded, very politely.
Weiwu Escort Agency mainly makes money by transporting goods and helping merchants escort their goods, while Manager Wang is the manager of Zheng's Trading Company in the city and one of Weiwu Escort Agency's biggest clients.
As for why Manager Wang's surname is Wang, yet he is the manager of Zheng's Trading Company... naturally, it's because the trading company doesn't belong to Manager Wang!
Zheng's Trading Company is the largest trading company in the entire Ding'an County, and even in Taicang Prefecture, without exception!
Behind the trading company was Prefect Zheng Qing, which was one of the reasons why Wei Jing was so polite to Manager Wang.
"Manager Wang, do you have goods that you need our escort agency to transport?"
Wei Jing asked.
"Exactly!"
Shopkeeper Wang nodded: "A batch of goods needs to be transported to the county town soon, so please take good care of Chief Escort Wei!"
"This is easily resolved!"
Without hesitation, Wei Jing replied that Weiwu Escort Agency and Zheng's Trading Company had a long-term cooperative relationship and had always helped Zheng's Trading Company escort goods, so he naturally would not refuse.
"also……"
Shopkeeper Wang's eyes darted around, and he glanced discreetly at the chicken blood on the table. He said, "I heard that yesterday the county magistrate invited many martial artists from the city to his residence as guests?"
The news that Li Qingyun had invited martial artists to his door last night had already spread within a small circle. Manager Wang, who was well-informed, must have already known about it, so Wei Jing did not deny it and nodded, saying, "That is indeed the case."
"What brings you here, magistrate?" Manager Wang pressed.
"It wasn't the county magistrate who invited us, but a merchant from Taiping County. The county magistrate was merely acting on his behalf!"
Merchants from Taiping County?
Manager Wang was somewhat surprised. Taiping County had always been relatively poor because it was close to the north. How could a merchant from Taiping County have the ability to get the county magistrate to help him?
Wei Jing glanced at Manager Wang and said, "Manager Wang must have come for the Blood Feather Chicken, right?"
"Not bad!"
Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said, "I heard from the martial artists in the city that the Blood Feather Chicken is extraordinary and can help martial artists quickly increase their qi and blood, and even break through bottlenecks. I wonder if it's true or not?"
"it is true."
The moment Wei Jing nodded, Manager Wang's pupils contracted.
In the morning, he had already heard about the Blood Feather Chicken from other martial artists. He was shocked and couldn't believe that the Blood Feather Chicken existed.
Although Manager Wang was not a martial artist, he had served the prefect for many years and could be considered knowledgeable. However, he had never heard of anything other than medicinal herbs and demonic beasts that could help martial artists cultivate!
But the martial artist looked so confident that it made Manager Wang a little suspicious.
So, after learning from the martial artist that Wei Jing had bought eight Blood Feather Chickens in one go, he came to Wei Wu Escort Agency to verify the information with Wei Jing.
"Does such a miraculous breed of chicken really exist in this world?"
Manager Wang stared into Wei Jing's eyes and asked incredulously.
"At first I didn't believe it either, but I've just verified it."
Wei Jing said, "The blood of this chicken can indeed help martial artists quickly increase their qi and blood. It is even more effective for martial artists who are in a bottleneck, and can help them break through their current level quickly. Even for seventh-grade martial artists, the chicken blood has a remarkable effect!"
hiss!
Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but gasp. If what Wei Jing said was true, then this Blood Feather Chicken was terrifying!
It should be understood that breaking through the bottleneck is a huge problem for all martial artists in the Xia Kingdom, but the Blood Feather Chicken can help martial artists break through the bottleneck. It is simply a miracle drug!
"Head镖师 (Guardian)".
A hint of eagerness flashed in Manager Wang's eyes as he said, "Would you be so kind as to grant me two Bloodfeathered Chickens? I'm willing to offer 200 taels for each one!"
