Ever since Lan Jizong met two families in Zhuangzi outside Tokyo, he knew that there would be a fight between merchants in Tokyo. He already knew that he was too lazy to pay attention to it. It was useless for the saint to make peace, so why should he intervene?
Which of them is unpleasant?
But he didn't know that there was an invisible war going on in Tokyo. Qin Mumu was more inclined to call it a trade war!
The drop in sugar prices shocked brothers Zhao Zongli and Zhao Zongshi. They didn't understand why Puhui Company suddenly had so much malt sugar and stone honey, and the quality was better.
Frosted sugar that is as white as sand, maltose that sticks to teeth, and all kinds of sugar paintings are all of high quality and low price. For a time, people in Tokyo flocked to them, and Puhui Store made a lot of money.
On the other hand, a large amount of tung oil also appeared on the market, some of which were sold from Puhui stores, and some were sold from ordinary stores. The appearance of a large amount of tung oil made Cao's store, which purchased tung oil at a high price, complain.
Zhao Yingji did not expect that it would turn out like this. She was still feeling proud when she suddenly realized that her family's money was being lost rapidly. She hurriedly notified various shops to stop buying tung oil and tarpaulin at high prices, but it was too late.
The Cao family has hoarded a large amount of tung oil and tarpaulin, but these goods are depreciating rapidly. This is exactly what Qin Mumu wants to achieve.
A piece of camouflage clothing made of linen appeared, covered with many spots of green or yellow oilcloth. This was quite close to the camouflage uniforms of later generations. Qin Mumu quite admired Ye An's idea.
Seeing the craftsmen skillfully taking the clothes from the water-driven wooden conveyor belt and starting to sew, Qin Mumu was also very satisfied with the speed of this flow of work.
After adopting the assembly line operation, the efficiency of the factory has been greatly improved. Pieces of garments are folded, packed, and then piled on bullock carts and transported to the warehouse. It takes up to seven or eight days to complete the production. In addition,
It takes more than ten days to transport to Huanzhou, which is considered the fastest speed.
The Li family couple's expressions froze after seeing such efficient production. They finally knew the secret of Xinlingfang's making money, which was also the secret of Puhui's making money.
For this reason, Li Zunxu even planned to ask the consort of the Prince Consort to guard the place, but Qin Mumu refused because Zhuangzi had its own armed forces.
Li Zunxu didn't believe it at first. In his opinion, those ordinary nursing homes were not worth mentioning at all. But when he saw a group of strong young people with swords on their waists and strong bows on their backs, he knew that Ye An was here.
Already put in enough effort.
But he didn't know that he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the defense force here. Ever since Ye An was attacked, Qin Mumu and he had been thinking of ways to secretly plan their own armed force.
This is not impossible. Who in the city of Tokyo does not have a few capable housekeepers? This is already an open secret. It is said that some generals also hide armor and hard crossbows...
Zhao Qingyi naturally didn't care about this. He just frowned slightly as he looked at the piles of Zhengyi: "What Mr. Lan said is right. It seems that it is not appropriate for us to be at odds with the Cao family. As for Qi Guogong..."
"Sister-in-law, why should you worry? This is competition on the road of merchants, so what if we tolerate it? Can they let us go next time? I have given the Cao family a chance, but the Cao family themselves did not grasp it, not to mention the letter from Changsheng
It has been mentioned in the article that Cao Jiedu has a close relationship with him and has planned to invest in our company. Obviously Zhao Yingji’s move was not Cao Jiedu’s original intention, right?"
Li Zunxu nodded slightly: "I still know Cao Yi. He is not a person who is blind to money. He is very heroic and good at making friends. His temperament should be similar to that of Chang Sheng. I just don't know about the stupid things my mother-in-law did.
We will wait until the Huanzhou matter is decided."
Zhao Qingyi nodded. She also knew who Cao Yi was. As for the grievances between the two brothers Zhao Zongli and Zhao Zongshi and the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion, she naturally heard a little about it. The discord between Ye An and the two of them was known to the whole court. It was impossible.
Turn enemies into friends.
But fortunately, the young couple from the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion were blessed by the saint, and the official family was Ye An's student, so it would naturally not be an obstacle.
Looking at the prosperous Zhuangzi in front of her, Zhao Qingyi just felt that it was a bit unreal. She had never thought that Zhuangzi would become like this, and she didn't know what words to use to describe it. All the young people in the village had become the masters of the workshop.
From what she heard about labor, she found out that she could earn quite a lot, much more than she could earn in the crop fields.
If this continues, as Puhui's business expands, the manpower in Zhuangzi will definitely not be enough. When she raised her question, Qin Mumu explained with a smile: "Changsheng and I have already thought about this.
If there is not enough manpower in the future, we can recruit people from other places. My sister-in-law looks at it. There are already buildings and a canteen in the village. It just needs to be expanded to accommodate more workers. From now on, our Puhui business will
Our business must be getting bigger and bigger, and the goods we need are of various types and quantity, so we will naturally need to expand our factory!”
Li Zunxu and Zhao Qingyi didn't know what to say for a moment. They didn't expect that Puhui Company would develop so fast, let alone what it would be like in the future, because they couldn't imagine it.
But one thing the two of them were sure of was that they had found a treasure by opening the Puhui store with Ye An. It was no wonder that Ye An had dared to bet against them before. This was almost a sure-fire business.
The scientific management, fine division of labor, efficient production, and strict protection here completely subverted Zhao Qingyi and Li Zunxu's cognition. When they came here and watched the goods being shipped one by one, they felt that it was money falling into their pockets.
sound.
Ye An and Qin Mumu are good at operating capital. Their strong interests will allow Puhui Company to develop at the fastest speed, and even they dare not make arbitrary conclusions about its future scale.
Zhao Qingyi smiled and invited Qin Mumu to enter the palace with her. It was no different from entering the palace to meet a saint. However, when Li Zunxu watched the carriage leave, he knew that this time he was not going to the palace to talk about family matters, but to have a "talk" with the saint.
business”.
After scratching his head, Li Zunxu also got on the carriage. He felt that it would be great to leave the family affairs to these two women. He and Ye An were just hanging out in the officialdom.
Thinking of Ye An, Li Zunxu felt a burst of envy. This kid stole the show in Huanzhou. Two major victories made him famous. Even the city of Tokyo was singing his songs. He was like "There is a Yelang in the northwest, and he uses his troops like a sharp edge."
"How many people can have such merit?
As for Fan Yong... this old boy has found a treasure. There is nothing wrong with walking slowly! Everyone in Tokyo is praising him for knowing people and making good use of them. Ye An's contribution is the cause and effect of his support for the younger generations.
