Chapter 121: Literary events(1/2)
Zhang Luo ordered a bowl of wontons and took a bite.
Then I did the math in my head using statistical skills.
Jinjiang County is Guofu County in Quanzhou.
The capital city of Quanzhou is in Jinjiang.
It can be said that Jinjiang is the economic and cultural center of Quanzhou.
Xu's shop.
It's equivalent to Quanzhou Wei's shop.
Soldiers and horses are in hand.
Officials in prefectures and counties have no courage.
Exploiting their shop.
Therefore, Xujia Shop has almost no extra tax money.
In such a good business environment.
Two ancestral shops.
Only fifty taels of silver a year.
There are indeed many doorways here.
The cunning subordinate below.
Keep sitting and getting kickbacks.
This was all too common in the feudal era.
When Xu Shouye's father had just taken over as commander.
I once sent people to check the ledgers of various industries.
I also want to rectify this situation.
But after all, we are all a family.
Most shops and grain houses.
These shopkeepers have a good relationship with Commander Xu.
How can you say that you should take action?
And the shopkeeper has been in the store for most of his life.
It's easy to make false accounts.
You can't find anything by searching hard.
In desperation, Commander Xu had just taken office.
Just punish a few guys who go too far.
The matter just ended.
Shopkeepers rely on their relationships with commanders.
The money still has to be made.
But at least half of the profits will be retained.
After all, they are also people from Xu Mansion.
You have to rely on the power of Xu Mansion to get around in the city.
But the shop has to be handed over to Xu Shouye.
This situation is about to change.
The entire Xu family knew that Xu Shouye was a loser.
I don't have any skills, I just spend money.
He has no ability to take care of a shop at all.
I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the fifty taels of silver in the future.
Xu Shouye said:
"I have two shops."
"This is a bookstore opened by the Xu family during the Hongzhi period."
"The other one is a dyeing shop."
"I had a lot of fun when I opened this dyeing shop."
"It was opened during the Zhengde period."
Zhang Luo kept listening.
Xu Shouye has a lot of good things in him.
In these two shops.
But this is what Zhang Luo always wanted.
Zhenhaiwei's cloth workshop is already in operation.
A lot of cotton fabrics are made.
Zhang Luo is still thinking about how to dye it.
Ordinary cotton cannot be sold at a good price.
Those landowning gentry.
I still like colorful silk.
I want to make more money.
You have to increase the amount.
If only I could make cotton cloth in multiple colors.
It can increase the price quite a bit.
But something too expensive.
It's not easy to sell in the ghost market.
It's easy to be spotted.
I'm afraid I'll get into trouble.
Zhang Luo originally wanted to take advantage of the Xu family's misfortune.
Buy a dyeing shop from Xu Shouye.
I didn’t expect the Xu family to move in so quickly.
Just got through it.
He glanced at Xu Shouye who was complaining.
Zhang Luo laughed inwardly.
Who knows after you take over the shop?
How much more money can I have in my hands?
Please let me help you.
Now Zhang Luo is also preparing for movable type printing.
There is a bookstore.
You can also help sell Zhang Luoyin's books.
They are all industries corresponding to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo couldn't just let Xu Shouye go.
He said to Xu Shouye:
"That's good."
"Young Master Xu, I will finish class tomorrow afternoon."
"Young master and I will go to two shops together."
"Help you teach those old shopkeepers a lesson."
"Brother Zhang Luo also knows how to keep accounts."
"That's great. I originally wanted to invite someone."
"Help me look at the account books in the shop."
"Brother Zhang Luo is here now."
"Then it must be an immediate success!"
Zhang Luo continued:
"It just so happens that Zhenhaiwei also has some goods."
"You can put it in the young master's shop and sell it."
"Help me, young master, to earn more money."
Xu Shouye said gratefully:
"With Brother Zhang Luo's help."
