Fu Mingyu was getting ready to get married. The Fu family first finished hosting their grandson's full moon party, and then started organizing Fu Mingyu's wedding. While being busy, the Wang family also diluted a lot of the sadness caused by Qin Rui's departure.
The days were passing by so fast, and it was almost time for Fu Mingyu to get married.
The Fu family is already full of Fu Mingyu's dowry. Among them are those prepared by Fu Yucheng and his wife for Fu Mingyu, as well as those sent from Jiangnan's hometown, and more of them were chosen by the Queen Mother from the palace. Even Lujiazhuang sent people to send many things.
, all sorts of things, everything.
As the wedding day approached, Yang Si's letters were also brought back by pigeons. Yang Si and Zhao Mingyu hurriedly arrived in Linchuan without any delay.
I didn't know until I arrived in Linchuan that I realized that Linchuan City was still a few days' walk away from several important passes where the Qin family was stationed on the border. This shows how big Linchuan County is.
The Sheriff of Linchuan County's surname is Chen. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Mingguang Dynasty. He has been the Sheriff of Linchuan County for ten years. There must be some reason why he has not been promoted for ten years. Yang Si said that we will investigate later.
Make another report.
Rice at the border is 10% more expensive than in the capital. If you really want to do the rice business, you can make money. In fact, anything sold at the border such as porcelain, silk, etc. is more expensive than here, but ginseng, mink hair and deer antlers are simply more expensive than here.
Rice is still cheap...at that price, it can be used as food in the capital...
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Mingyu arrived in Linchuan, he felt that he had a lot of potential.
Yang Si said in the letter that he had asked the surrounding people that the price of food in Linchuan had doubled compared to that in the spring, and just as Fu Mingyu remembered, the rain in Linchuan started two months ago.
The snow has not stopped until now. The more experienced local elders said that the heavy snow around the Chinese New Year this year is likely to seal the roads, so the price of food will rise...
After Fu Mingyu received the letter, he quickly went to find his maternal grandfather. Because she was getting married, almost all the people from Lujiazhuang came to the capital. Originally, they said they were going to stay in an inn, but how could Fu Yucheng be willing to let the Wang family clean up a yard?
, specifically for the Lu family. Now, except for Fu Mingyu’s second uncle and two cousins who went to Linchuan and could not come to attend the wedding, everyone else is living in the Fu family.
After entering and seeing the ceremony, Fu Mingyu showed Yang Si's letter to his grandfather. As soon as Mr. Lu saw it, he called his eldest son over. Yang Si and the others rode fast horses and were lighter than the Lu family.
We arrived in Linchuan in about half a month.
"Oh, I'm going to write a letter and give it to my second brother, and tell him to speed up. Otherwise, when the heavy snow blocks the road to Linchuan, won't they be able to come back?" The eldest uncle touched his beard as soon as he saw it.
said.
It was originally planned that after delivering the things to Fu Mingyu, he would stay in Linchuan for ten days to buy some things to bring back, just in time for the Chinese New Year. But now, if it really snows heavily for days, this road may not be able to wait until the Chinese New Year.
It's going to be sealed. In order to avoid danger, it's better to get your things back this time and hurry up.
"Yes. That's what I mean." Old owner Lu Yong said, "Ayu has sent people over to set up shop. According to me, this shop should be opened bigger and not just sell grains and oils. I asked you to come here just because you want to."
Instead of looking for another shop to start over, we in Lujiazhuang should start by working together with Ayu.
Firstly, we can help Ayu share some of the burden. Secondly, we don’t have Ayu’s talent named Zhao Mingyu. If we go to build a store, your two brothers will inevitably have to go there permanently. It’s better to work with Ayu to open up all the connections there.
Once you figure it out, I’ll open another one in the future! Do you think it’s okay?”
"Father's intention is of course good!" Zhuangzhu Lu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "It would be the best to be able to borrow the east wind from the princess."
"Uncle, you are joking." Fu Mingyu's face turned red.
Her original idea was just to have her own eyes and ears in Linchuan, but now it seems that this stall is going to be dilapidated!
This is a new experience for Fu Mingyu. In her previous life, Mrs. Andinghou took away her things slowly on the grounds that she didn't understand. Although she had many shops in her previous life, she didn't end up with one in the end...
...Now that she is reborn, she should experience everything.
What's more, she has such good external conditions...
"I'm not joking. You don't know how troublesome it is to open a shop." Zhuangzhu Lu said seriously, "It's easier for the government to deal with the big yamen, but the devil is difficult to deal with, otherwise many Jianghu sects are unwilling to have anything to do with the government...
…With you here, Princess, it will be much easier to do business, at least some unnecessary things in the government will be eliminated."
Although Fu Mingyu has never been involved in business, she believes it.
Several people discussed it and decided to let Fu Mingyu open a large shop. It not only had rice grains, but also herbs, spices, silk and other items. Since he wanted to sell silk, he had to call Fu Mingyu's second cousin. When Fu Lengqiu heard this,
He immediately clapped his hands and applauded. His shop makes a lot of money every year, but the competition in Beijing
The competition is really fierce, and the silk that is eliminated every year has to be sold at a low price, but it will be different if we can find another place in Linchuan. The styles eliminated from the capital can be sent directly to Linchuan, and the price is still high.
Can it be guaranteed? Besides, the Jiangnan Qin family originally made a living on silk. What kind of supply can’t be found?
Fu Lengqiu thinks that if the furs in the border town are really as cheap as Yang Si said, he can open a fur shop in the capital. The capital is still very cold in winter, and not everyone can afford to wear them like the rich and nobles.
Good furs and those furs are ridiculously expensive. If ordinary people want to buy a fur garment to keep warm during the New Year, they still have to grit their teeth and stomp their feet.
If the furs in border towns are cheap, they will transport the silk there and come back with furs and ginseng and deer antlers. The furs can be sorted. If the furs are of good quality, they can be sold at a high price by attaching silk fabrics to them. However, those that are not of very good quality can be sold with
If you sell ordinary cotton fabrics at a reasonable price, I believe the business will be very popular.
Fu Lengqiu also suggested that the Lu family open a fur clothing store like this in Changshan Prefecture. Although Changshan Prefecture is in the southeast, the winter at the seaside is cold and humid, so the fur business is better. They also followed the same example as the Fu family in the capital.
That’s it.
When Fu Lengqiu said this, Lu Yong and his uncle immediately felt that this was a great idea. They were from Jianghu and had disciples running around every day. They knew the market best, but they didn't expect that the business would be okay.
In this way, the furs can be directly made into ready-made clothes for sale, eliminating the waiting time, and business will definitely be good.
The family sat together and talked passionately, as if they saw ingots of gold ingots with wings flying towards them...
Even Fu Mingyu was in high spirits... She felt that her new life was really worth it!
