Chapter Thirteen: Earning Thousands of Dollars a Day
Originally, Ding Wanshi wanted to accept Qian Guan. After all, he couldn't guarantee whether the perfume would be sold. If such a lot of good things were really sold out, it would put a lot of financial pressure on him.
Qian Bao did have a business acumen. He said that if Ding Wanshi wanted it, it would cost at least fifteen hundred dollars a bottle. Of course, if the other party did not accept the love, there was another way, which was to
If Ding's spice shop sells it on consignment, it will sell it for two thousand guan a bottle.
I borrowed the Ding family's place and gave Ding Wanshi a benefit of 200 guan for every bottle sold. This is considered compensation.
Ding Wanshi rolled his eyes and nodded in agreement. Not only could he get benefits, but also make Ding's name famous, and at the same time, he didn't have to bear any pressure. He couldn't refuse such a good thing.
But when Ding Wanshi saw that two thousand guan a bottle was still unable to stop customers from rushing to buy, he felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he would have taken some risks and bought it, wouldn't he have made a lot of money?
made money?
Speaking of which, the price of two thousand guan is really not low. At this time, the price of rice on the market is 30 cents per dou, and one dou of rice is 12 catties. How much food can two thousand guan buy?
Of course, the price cannot be calculated exactly like this. Just like it is recorded in "Menghualu", a cook in Tokyo can earn five guans a month. Even ordinary people can earn a day's work.
About a hundred cents.
This can only be said that during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, the price of food was very low, which was also a way for people to feel happy at that time.
Regardless of the price, a small porcelain bottle with a capacity of about 100 milliliters of perfume can be sold for 2,000 guan, which is indeed very expensive. Naturally, this is directly related to the fact that spices are comparable to gold.
In one whole day, the spice shop sold twenty-three bottles, totaling forty-six thousand pounds.
There were seven bottles left, all of which were kept by Ding Wanshi. He needed to keep a few bottles for the store. If a dignitary came and he couldn't take them out, wouldn't he offend someone?
Of course, the remaining seven bottles were all bought by Ding Wanshi at a price of 1,800 yuan, which was equivalent to giving up his own profits.
A total of thirty bottles were sold out in less than one day, resulting in a total of fifty-four thousand guan.
With such a large amount of money, it is unrealistic to use cash to trade all the money. Even pulling it requires a horse-drawn carriage. In this case, Qian Bao chose Jiaozi trading.
Jiaozi is the earliest banknote circulating in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the first year of Tiansheng (1023), the first year of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, the government established Yizhou Jiaoziwu, with a capital of 360,000 guan as a reserve fund, and issued 1.26 million "official jiaozi" for the first time.
The gold rate was 28%. It was first in Sichuan, then Shaanxi, and Hedong to Bianliang Tokyo City, and became one of the legal tender currencies of the Song Dynasty at that time.
When trading with Jiaozi, he would pay the shop owner an interest of 30 cents per transaction, that is, a 3% storage fee. But even so, Qian Bao still chose to trade with Jiaozi. He had a feeling that it was his
The person behind it, Su Shi, didn't want to be exposed, nor did he want so many copper coins to attract other people's attention, so Jiaozi was undoubtedly an excellent way of protection.
After only leaving a hundred thousand coins for self-defense, Qian Bao took Shi Buddha and left the spice shop happily. When they reached the corner of the street where no one was paying attention, Qian Bao took out all the money he had.
, respectfully handed it to the stone Buddha's hand.
"Please leave it to the young master. I'm waiting for the young master's new instructions." Qian Bao's attitude was extremely low. He knew very well who gave him everything he had now, and he had begun to like this kind of person.
Feeling of compliment.
If Su Shi didn't provide him with supplies, he would be knocked back to his original form immediately, which is not what he wants to see.
Shi Fo took the thick pile of Jiaozi, nodded expressionlessly, and then quickly disappeared into the street. But at this time, his heart was not as calm as he showed.
This is a total of fifty-three thousand nine hundred strings.
Thinking about how much his monthly expenses were, it was just a few bucks, but what he had in his hands now was money that he would never be able to earn in his lifetime.
Although he was excited, Shi Fo never thought about taking the money and leaving.
Let’s not talk about whether he can really leave without being found. Let’s just say that this is just the beginning. He has a feeling that by following the young master, he will definitely not be short of money in the future. He even thinks about it.
, The young master said before that he dreamed about the precious treasure of the twelve zodiac signs in the crystal. Is this also the young master’s method?
If so, where did these things come from?
Shi Buddha rushed towards Qianqizhuang, but unknowingly, Su Shi became more and more mysterious in his heart.
Shi Fo was indeed as his father said, very loyal to the Su family. His sudden appearance in the courtyard startled Lou Yang.
"Who is it?" When he saw the man in black with a cloak appearing, Lou Yang's body felt like thorns growing out of his body, and his body transformed into a bow, as if he would launch an attack at any time.
Lou Yang has been indoctrinated with the idea that he was born to protect and serve the young master.
That is to say, if you want to protect others, how can you do it without sufficient force?
Since Xiaolouyang, he has learned to practice martial arts when he had time, and Su Feiyang also hired experts from the village to teach him carefully.
Even though Lou Yang is only fifteen years old, his kung fu is already pretty good. Even three or four strong men can't get close to him. This is because he is too young. If he waits until he is eighteen, he will definitely be a famous player in the world.
hero.
"The young master asked me to come." Shifo didn't have any more explanation, and he didn't even mean to show his true face.
Obviously he remembered Su Shi's words not to let others know about his relationship with the Su family. Even so, Lou Yang was certainly considered a bystander.
At some point, the Longhu brothers also appeared in the courtyard. They lived in a neighboring courtyard to ensure that if there was any movement here, the Husu Stone would be safe immediately.
The three people formed a triangle and surrounded the stone Buddha. This movement also attracted the attention of Su Shi in the house.
"But Stone Buddha is here? Lou Yang, the Dragon and Tiger brothers, are our own people. Shi Fo, Lou Yang and the others are also our own people, so they can know your existence."
Su Shi's voice came from inside the house. Lou Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but for safety reasons, he still accompanied Shi Buddha into the house and saw the oil lamp sitting on the stone chair and the wooden table.
Su Shi was looking at the book below.
When the person arrived, Su Shi closed the book in his hand, looked at the stone Buddha who was covered in a cloak, smiled and said, "But something happened."
"I have something." After Shi Buddha agreed, he took out the 53,900 Guanjiao Zi that had just been warmed from his arms and placed it in front of Su Shi.
Along with it was a piece of rice paper with Qian Bao's crooked handwriting on it, detailing the income and what happened this time.
Su Shi took it, read it once and nodded, "It's okay. There are still two jars of perfume here. You go back and bring them to Qian Bao and tell him that there aren't many left. Let him figure it out.
.By the way, Lou Yang, give Shi Buddha a hundred coins and a carton of cigarettes."
"No need." When Shi Fo heard that he could earn a hundred dollars, he instinctively shook his head. As for cigarettes, he still didn't know what they were.
"This is not for you. I know you have a sister, and this money is reserved for her. Girls, if possible, always have to dress up beautifully and wear better clothes to be respected by others." Su Shihuai
He waved his hand and spoke in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Naturally, Su Feiyang, the cheap dad, told Shi Fo that he had a younger sister.
People in the world of martial arts, if you want to completely trust someone, you must have something that the other person can trust. For example, Stone Buddha has a sister, this is the best proof.
Only when people are concerned can they have weaknesses, and only then can they be used with confidence.
When he heard that it was for his younger sister, and thinking that his younger sister was also at the age of beauty and needed money, Shi Fo really had no reason to refuse. Then he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master."
"There is no need to say thank you between us. If you do things for me, the young master will not treat you badly. Okay, you can go out of the village." Su Shi said with a smile on his face.
Shi Buddha left quickly, leaving Su Shi looking at the pile of jiaozi on the table with a myriad of emotions.
The exchange system is awesome. It’s only been one day and I already have so much money. If you want to, you can become the richest man in the Song Dynasty without any problem.
When thinking of the richest man, Su Shi couldn't help but think of Shen Wansan in history.
He was such a wealthy person, but he had no power or strength. In the end, if Empress Ma hadn't begged for mercy, he would have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. But even if someone interceded, he would not have ended up being exiled to Yunnan.
Even knowing this, Su Shi certainly cannot be such a fat sheep and let others kill him if they want to. He needs to have the ability to protect himself.
Maybe people are like this, their desires can never be filled. When you have money, you want power, and when you have power, you want greater power.
Su Shi had no interest in the lofty imperial power. He felt a deep headache when he thought about getting up early every day and going to court every night and criticizing papers until late at night. What he needed was a free life and the safety of his family.
And all of this requires him to have a certain social status, and it is best to have a certain amount of power in order to do it.
Putting tens of thousands of coins on the table casually, Su Shi continued to flip through the books in his hands without taking a glance at them. Speaking of which, this was no ordinary thing, but a newspaper from the imperial court.
Although it was expired, Su Feiyang spent a lot of effort to get it.
Just because Su Shi wanted to see it, Su Feiyang tried his best to get it. It must be said that as a father, he really doted on his son.
Su Feiyang felt a lot of pressure from his father's doting on him. He even felt that he had to do something and had the power to protect himself.
Unfolding the arrival report in the book, I saw that it was written on it that this year, that is, the Battle of Dingchuan between the Song Dynasty and Xixia in 1042 AD.
In this battle, Ge Huaimin and other fifteen generals died in the battle, and the Song army of more than 9,000 people was nearly wiped out. This chapter has been completed!
