Once capital is put into operation, there is almost no power that can stop him from expanding. The Puhui Company jointly opened with the Li family has completed the accumulation of capital. Xinlingfang is the best example of success.
This is a kind of brand effect. As long as there is any opportunity, the capital that wants to make money will come to you.
The Cao family is definitely one of the richest among the generals. Thanks to the Zhao Songtian family, the Cao family has received quite astonishing rewards and wealth. In order to win over and appease the generals, the old Zhao family has been bleeding a lot.
The Cao family is almost the largest landowner in Zhending Mansion, and they have countless businesses in Tokyo. To be honest, the Cao family is much bigger than the Li family. Ye An did not even expect that Cao Yi would invest in Puhui Company.
After all, the Cao family has a great business and has reached the point where generations of people have no worries about food and clothing. As long as the Song Dynasty is still around, no, no matter whether the Song Dynasty is around or not, the Cao family can live a very good life.
There is no need to participate in Puhui Company, but Ye An's worries are completely unnecessary. After Cao Yi left happily, Chen Lin curled her lips and said: "These generals will never be satisfied, even if they are like this from the Shou Dynasty.
Even if you are being treated favorably, you will not take any action. Whenever you see an opportunity to make money, you will be as greedy as a leech!"
Ye An tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "This is also what the country wants to see, isn't it? Does the Tian family want these generals to make achievements on the battlefield? Or let them engage in strategizing? It's a pity to raise pigs like this.
People know this trick, and they are happy to be raised by the Heavenly Family like this."
"Pig? Hehe, this metaphor is quite appropriate, but it's a pity that you underestimate the general. Even if you raise a group of pigs, it's just a facade. If you say that there is no talent among the generals, believe it.
?The Cao Yi in front of me is not a simple person!"
Ye An stared at Chen Lin with a smile and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
Chen Lin waved her sleeves, rolled her eyes and said, "Can we drink some wine instead!?"
Ye An shook his head, dug out a tin kettle from the small box, and threw it to Chen Lin with some distress: "It's not too much!"
"Look at your stingy appearance. You are still a dignified founding prince. How can you be so dignified with Soso?!"
Staring at Chen Lin, Ye An said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you always following me? You don't have a room? Tieniu wants to lay the floor in my house at night."
Chen Lin raised her eyebrows: "What? Your servants dare to sleep in the same room as their master?"
"He is my brother, so what if I don't dislike his sweaty feet and we sleep on the same bed? I would rather sleep on the floor, but this kid doesn't want to live or die."
"Weird!" Chen Lin muttered and drank to herself. The soldiers brought food over just in time for him to drink.
Although it is a restaurant, the food is still good. At least the braised noodles with braised mutton made Ye An forget who he was. The only drawback is that it is too plain and not as sophisticated as the food in Tokyo. There are many varieties.
.
A bowl of noodles and a bowl of braised mutton were enough. Ye An hadn't finished the meal yet. Tie Niu was eating beside him and was having a great time. He kept saying that it was not as delicious as his mother's cooking.
, but his subordinates didn’t stop.
This guy couldn't stop eating when he saw it. Even if he was full, he would finish the noodles before he could give up. As for the braised mutton, Chen Lin used it to drink wine. When he pinched it with his hand, it turned out to be a piece of meat that was both fat and thin.
Put it into your mouth, add a sip of strong wine, and immediately let out a sigh of relief, releasing all the depression in your heart.
Seeing Chen Lin's comfortable look, Ye An couldn't help but reach out to the jug, but remembering Qin Mumu's previous explanation, he still let go angrily. He plans to have children next year, and Qin Mumu's rule is that he must
Don’t smoke or drink…………
But these were almost Ye An's two major hobbies. After arriving in the Song Dynasty, he put away the pack of cigarettes. After all, there was one less cigarette to smoke. As for tobacco leaves... Hey, Han civilization did have that thing, tobacco.
It is not an imported product. Local tobacco leaves, Luochuan dry tobacco, were tribute during the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was considered a smoker.
However, Ye An has no intention of promoting tobacco. It would be very selfish to do so. Due to the different environment, the tobacco system of later generations cannot be promoted in this era. Ye An feels that this is something similar to Pandora's box.
He smacked his lips in boredom. Although his body had changed, the desire for nicotine that was ingrained in his bones still affected him to a greater or lesser extent.
"I heard that you ordered kapok from the Western Regions from Uighur merchants? How come you saw it in the palace and took it into your heart?"
Chen Lin took a sip of wine and stared at Ye An as if she was casually initiating a conversation. But how could Ye An ignore such an attitude? She suddenly smiled and said: "I asked around before and it is said that the yield of kapok in the Western Region is high and it is easy to pick.
, cotton thread is strong and durable, maybe it can be made into quilts! I think this is a business opportunity."
Ye An's answer made Chen Lin laugh: "You kid, you really have fallen in the eyes of money. Kapok is a good thing. As long as it is made well, it will be warmer than silk, but do you know why no one makes it?
?”
Seeing Ye An in a daze, Chen Lin was even more proud, and the old god said: "Because it is difficult to do! The kapok balls must be softened together first, right? This is a time-consuming thing, and what else can you say?
How to weave into threads? Kapok is not like cannibalizing. You only need to find one end to spin out the cocoons and turn it into a strand. Then combine the strands into threads and use the threads to weave cloth. Only a fool would think of starting from kapok! Even if it is measured
So what if it’s big? What can people who have spent that kind of effort and money hire do to make a lot of money?”
I didn’t expect it! People in this era are already so careful with their calculations. People in the Song Dynasty really have business acumen. Well... maybe Chen Lin has a business acumen.
But Ye An didn't care and just smiled and said nothing. Just kidding, is it difficult to soften the cotton together? Play the cotton!
This is the benefit of foresight. In some matters, Ye An is completely a "prophet". He even knows all the processes from picking cotton to making quilts and cotton threads.
So he didn't care about Chen Lin's blow at all, and just kept laughing. Chen Lin's laughter made Chen Lin shiver, and she suddenly said in surprise: "You kid, have a way to turn kapok into a quilt or spin it into thread?!"
Ye An shrugged indifferently: "It's just an idea, maybe it's feasible?"
"That's right, you should make more money, so as not to have no money to live on after your family fell into ruin that day. A certain family told the saint what they said in your house that day. The saint was silent, but his face was not good-looking after all.
of."
"That's good. The saint knows what Chang Sheng means, and the officials will understand it sooner or later. Don't worry about it. As for whether I will be punished by the saint, hehe... Do you think a person who dares to see through things can use truth?
The minister who spoke out the words...is the saint willing to punish him?"
Poof... Chen Lin spit out a mouthful of wine, and after passing through the oil lamp, it turned into a tongue of flame and almost roasted Ye An: "Ahem... You are really brave!"
"I accept your good words!"
Chen Lin didn't pay attention to Ye An's chic expression, and glanced at Tieniu who was leaning against the pillar and humming: "After eating too much, I went out to eat. Could it be possible that a certain family could harm your Marquis?!"
Tieniu smiled coquettishly, but still looked at Ye An. When he nodded, he stood up and walked to the door...
