"You should find a place to stay first. After three days, I will order five thousand soldiers and horses to go back with you."
Wei B reached out and patted Tian Feng on the shoulder. He did not ask him to answer him now. Instead, he went back to calmly think about it and then answer himself, so that he would not regret it in the future.
Tian Feng knew that Wei B was respecting his wishes. Although there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him to agree now, he still bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, sir. No matter what the result is, Feng will be here in three days."
I will give you an accurate answer."
"That's very good." Wei B smiled.
After Tian Feng left.
Xu Chu looked at his leaving figure and frowned: "Sir, does this person have great talent?"
This is the second time Xu Chu has seen Wei B actively recruit someone. Before, it was the boy Zhang Fei. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Xu Chu felt that the boy was indeed worthy of Wei B’s efforts to recruit. Especially after getting the Zhangba Snake Spear, he was not sure
Can beat him.
But, this Tian Feng?
Xu Chu looked doubtful.
Wei B smiled and said nothing. After Tian Feng disappeared into the crowd, he said: "I can't say he is a great talent, but he is indeed a good talent."
Tian Feng's character is too upright, which is not good. A real counselor should be versatile and cannot be seen through at a glance.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi did this very well. They should be strong when they should be strong, and soft when they should be soft. It varies from person to person to be a truly wise general.
"Let's go and continue shopping.
Back on the carriage, the two aunts were already waiting a little impatiently.
Cai Yan bought some preserved fruits from an unknown stall and shared them with the two girls. When he saw Wei B coming back, he smiled and said: I didn't expect that Chenliu's dried fruits are also sold in Hedong. Husband, come and try them."
Back in the carriage, Wei B ate some preserved fruits.
The eldest aunt suddenly said: "Zheng'er, I heard from Yan'er that the Fan family also took 5,000 pieces of soap to sell in Luoyang?"
Wei B was stunned and looked at Cai Yan.
Cai Yan stuck out his sweet tongue and whispered: "I think I should tell the two aunts. After all, five thousand pieces of soap is not a small amount.
The two aunts looked at Wei B, who nodded and said, "That's right.
However, Yan'er's aunt's market is in Luoyang, and its main target customers are the princes and nobles of Luoyang, so there is no conflict with the two aunts. I forgot about this before, haha.
Before, Cai Yan told Wei B that he wanted to do something. Wei B thought it was normal for his wife to want to start a career, and it was better than working at home every day, so he gave her five thousand soaps, which were sold by the Fan family's business.
Anyway, Wei B didn’t want any of the money he earned. He treated it as pocket money for Cai Yan, so he didn’t take it seriously. But now that the two aunts are going to do the soap business themselves, Wei B
I think it's better to say it clearly.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Cai Yan was indeed a good wife. If she hadn't taken the initiative to say it out and asked the two aunts to go to Luoyang and found that there were still people selling soap, wouldn't she feel that her nephew was being duplicitous?
Of course, it doesn't matter whether the two aunts think so. There are too many good things from Wei B, and just soap is just the beginning.
The little aunt said: "It's true, you kid. That's five thousand pieces of soap. Do you just forget it?"
The eldest aunt looked distressed. Although she was Aunt Cai Yan, she was not her own family after all.
Wei B probably doesn't know how great the interests involved in five thousand soaps are. If those concubines, princesses, princesses, and noble ladies in Luoyang have used soap, they will probably be as obsessed with it as he is. In order to get it
I'm sure I'm willing to pay a lot for soap.
The two aunts looked at each other. Although they felt it was a pity, they were not greedy people. For now, they should take over the market in Hedong, the base camp. As for whether they can go out in the future, we will see when the time comes.
Fan's can also be used.
Xu Chu drove the carriage, and the group finally stopped in front of a small courtyard surrounded by bluestones.
It is very close to the city gate, and fifty steps to the left is the guardhouse.
A middle-aged man in front of the door said respectfully: "This was originally a posthouse, covering an area of one and a half acres. There are two courtyards at the front and back, each with its own gate. This side faces the main road, and the backyard is connected to a branch road. It has very good access.
The convenience.”
The middle-aged man was the former chief registrar of Anyi County, and he was also a member of the Wei clan, but he was just a side branch.
Although he has been on the fifth server, but to be serious, he still calls Wei Ling second uncle. Seniority is there. As for the two aunts, he has to call them aunt, even though he is older than his eldest aunt.
‘It’s nice here.’
The eldest aunt looked around at the entrance of the courtyard. Since it was relatively close to the city gate, there was an endless stream of pedestrians and business travelers coming and going on the street.
The little aunt also nodded with satisfaction, "Let's just leave it here. I'll find someone to clean it up later and transplant some flowers and plants into the yard to embellish it."
The two walked into the front yard one after another, followed by Aning and Niu Niu, who were jumping and chasing each other.
Cai Yan stood next to Wei B, and after getting to know the middle-aged man a little more, he realized that this post house belonged to the government, but now that everyone had run away, it naturally became the property of the Wei family.
After a stick of incense.
The two aunts came out satisfied and immediately decided to open their business here.
The subsequent task of finding someone to renovate was naturally left to the middle-aged man. He was also happy to serve the people of the main family. If a side branch like him was not attached to the main family, he was actually no different from ordinary civilians.
"From now on, this will be Wei's Trading Company." The eldest aunt waved her hand and said with great enthusiasm.
When Wei B heard this, he frowned and said, "It's better not to involve the Wei family. Just treat this soap business as a gift to the two aunts. You can choose another name." Regarding the development of the Wei family, Wei B and
Second uncle Wei C already had a general direction and didn't want to mess up the overall situation because of a soap transaction.
The two aunts looked at each other
Wei B was afraid that they would misunderstand him, so he explained: "Aunts, don't worry too much. Regarding the future development of the family, my second uncle and I have already made a plan. If we don't pay attention to a mere trading house, you can just treat it like this."
The dowry given to you by Mrs. Wei is ready.
The little aunt hurriedly explained: "Little B, although your eldest aunt and I are married, we are the children of the Wei family after all, and you provided the things for running the business. If we were all in charge, people would gossip.
, and the Yang family is not monolithic.
Wei B thought the same thing. After all, the two aunts are the daughters-in-law of the Yang family. Some things should be clearly distinguished. What if someone in the Yang family covets their wealth? They cannot cause disharmony in their family. After all, wealth and silk
Touching.
"That's it, let Yan'er manage it together with you. The two aunts will hold 70% of the shares, and Yan'er will hold 30% of the shares.
Cai Yan's expression on the side changed. She had always wanted to do something for Wei B. She felt that she was also a talented and learned person. She was almost out of touch with the outside world by staying at home all day, and she couldn't help Wei B at all.
The two aunts looked at Cai Yan and nodded. The younger aunt said, "That's fine, but our shareholding is 70% too much. I think Yan'er has 60%, and your eldest aunt and I can do both."
Cai Yan exclaimed: "No, it won't work, sixty percent is too much.
The eldest aunt knows what the younger aunt means. Now the Yang family is living under the wings of the Wei family, and the soap is the source of goods provided by Wei B. You must be self-aware in everything, even your own aunt must settle the accounts clearly.
Seeing Cai Yan shaking her head repeatedly, the eldest aunt smiled and stepped forward, took her hand, and said: "Okay, it's settled. However, you are a young daughter who is not suitable for public appearances after all. I think the business is still How about we name it in my name and that of your little aunt, Mining Trading Company?"
"Minning Trading Company?" Wei B nodded, "Yes, just follow Auntie's advice."
Seeing that Wei B agreed, Cai Yan stopped worrying about 60% of the shares or 30%. He would just treat the two aunts better in the future. The next day.
The news that the two Mrs. Yang had opened a trading firm spread like wildfire in the city.
Mining Trading Company has not yet opened, but its reputation has already spread among aristocratic families and business travelers.
Because early in the morning, the two ladies held a trade fair in the most prosperous place in the city.
This is the advice given by Cai Yan. Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and the magical effect of soap needs to be experienced firsthand to know.
The two aunts also used their specialties. The eldest aunt was responsible for contacting the wives of big and small families in the city to support her. The younger aunt found a few well-spoken maids in the Yang family. After simple training, she pulled out a A sharp-tongued sales team.
Needless to say, soap, a time-changing product, quickly captured a large number of noble ladies and wealthy businessmen.
Mining Trading Company hasn't even opened yet, and the orders have already accumulated to more than 2,000 soaps.
Some people may say that two thousand is not much. In the future, any convenience store will have this much inventory.
However, what you don’t know is how exaggerated the pricing of soaps by Minning Trading Company is.
Knowing that Wei B likes to collect gold, the three women priced the soap at one pound of gold for one bar of soap.
Look clearly, it's a piece of soap, not a pound of soap.
A bar of soap probably weighs less than half a kilo.
Of course, gold at this time was not a hard currency, and its value was mainly reflected in some decorations.
Therefore, not many people actually exchange gold for soap, so another exchange standard needs to be formulated.
For example: Twenty deer skins are exchanged for a piece of soap, five stones of grain are exchanged for a piece of soap, ten pieces of brocade are exchanged for a piece of soap... etc. The list of barter exchanges is divided into three, six or nine according to the value of the unused items, etc. price exchange.
As for why copper coins are not used as a measure, it is because of what Wei B said casually.
"We, the Wei family, want to make our own currency, uu read books www.uukanshu.com It's useless to collect so many copper coins now."
When the three women heard this sentence, they were stunned for a moment, and then the three of them looked at each other, with a tacit understanding and did not discuss too much. The right to mint money has been in place for a long time.
"Hanshu. Food Chronicles" records
If it is forbidden to mint money, then the money must be heavy. If it is heavy, its benefits will be profound. Pirates of coins will rise like clouds, and they will be abandoned in the market.
Sins are not enough to ban! The number of traitors is overwhelming, and the number of legal bans is broken, and copper makes it happen. Therefore, copper is spread all over the world, and it will bring disaster."
It can be seen that no matter what era it is, making money privately is a felony.
There are not many people who really dare to mint coins privately.
In the past, there were coins minted by Wang Mang's new dynasty, such as Huoquan, Buquan, Huobu, Daquan Fifty, Koizumi Naoichi, Yi Dao Ping five hundred, and Dabu Huangqian. There were many coins issued, and many of them were very beautifully minted.
.Later, Dong Zhuo created rubbish gadgets with no literature and small money. Who is Wang Mang?
That is the real fierce man who usurped the Han Dynasty!
