When he returned to his yard, he saw Li Gan and a few people packing up an empty carriage. Qin Bai waved his hand and asked with a smile: "You're back? How are you there on the monk?"

These days, the match workshop produced more than 260 boxes of matches. After the truce, Qin Bai immediately arranged to transport most of them to his own shop in Dongerfang. The remaining 50 boxes were allowed to be transported to the monk in Laizhou City, and asked the monk to arrange his subordinates to sell them in the city.

Seeing Qin Bai coming, Li Gan ran to the front with a smile: "Second brother, the monk will do what you told me. That is..." Li Gan looked carefully at his left and right.

"Is there anything wrong?" Seeing Li Gan looking very mysterious, Qin Bai said in confusion, "Then let's talk in the room."

When the two returned to the house, Li Gan whispered: "Before leaving, the monk pulled me and said a few words and asked me to ask you, the second brother. He felt that while we were in a prosperous situation, he wanted to fight in Nancheng. Otherwise, there would be no place to make a living for so many brothers."

"Oh?" Qin Bai didn't feel any surprise. In fact, it was not only the monk, but also the Jingjiazhuang. Many of his subordinates were ready to "take advantage of the victory" and did not consider Yongsheng's real strength. They just wanted to take another risk, and they were all like "Showa Staff". "He wants to grab the territory and put the flag on the ground, so do it? If there is a shortage of people, Serena Williams and Fat Bear want to go over and help, and he can go there at any time. If there is a shortage of money, he can earn three cents per box of matches. In the past few days, we have sold more than 20 boxes in Jingjiazhuang. In such a large city, even if the monk sells those 50 boxes per month, it is enough to raise 50 people. Those bad goods in Nancheng will join together to fight with the monk, so he should not be afraid, right? Tell him and let him do it alone!"

"Hey!"

Qin Bai will definitely be restrained by Jingjiazhuang, but he is a little out of reach in Laizhou City. Although it is only about 30 miles away, it is impossible to control it in time with the transportation and communication conditions of this era.

In this case, when the monk has money and has gained a foothold in his territory, he will definitely go further and further. Better may admit that Qin Bai is a nominal boss, and a worse person may even be divided. Therefore, Qin Bai has very low requirements for it and has a high degree of freedom. As long as he can help sell matches and recruit people outside the city, the others will be tossed by themselves.

However, Qin Bai immediately discovered a new problem. He quickly reminded: "Daozi, go and tell the monk that he will beat him, and the matchsticks and box stuffing must not be stopped. I will see 100 boxes a day in a month."

Li Gan agreed with a smile: "The monk said that the matter was not delayed, and it was all done by women and children in the family. Second brother, in fact, many brothers are asking, can we send more work? There are neighbors near the brothers' houses who can't be hurt, and we can't bear to ask for a door. This is also considered to be a good thing. Doing more matches can make more money?"

Qin Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's not that outside is rushing to ask for it. I feel unsure of 100 boxes a day."

"Then let's takeout?"

"The maximum takeaway is 50 boxes per day, which is 1,500 boxes per month. In addition to Laizhou City and Jingjiazhuang here, you can go to the nearby counties at most. The 50 boxes left are for merchants here. Remember, we are not that we cannot do more, but we dare not do more! Don't show off outside, and make others feel that we are just doing small business that costs a few cents. Also, I will practice for me to death in the village and train me 300 elite soldiers in half a year. This is the fundamental thing, and I am not afraid of others making bad ideas. When we have strong soldiers, we will consider doing more matches. Remember, we must be low-key and we must make small fuss."

"Hey, I understand."

"Haha. Look at you like this, you are reluctant to do it? Make a calculation for you! 100 boxes a day, 3,000 boxes a month, 15,000 taels of silver. Given the cost and money to support people, our monthly income will not be less than 100 million! Do you still think it is less than 1,000 taels of silver? That's why I asked Yingzi to take charge of the account, so that outsiders can feel that we have at most one or two thousand taels. Go back and tell Yingzi, don't disclose it to the outside world! Once others know this amount, it's deadly!"

Li Gan looked solemn: "Don't worry, second brother!"

"Only we brothers know about this, don't even tell the brothers below. To give everyone the illusion that we are just a small business worth a few cents, and most of the money is given to the brothers' labor. Don't think I'm too long-lasting, the longer the delay, the more stable our life will be. Only when we have a large group of caring brothers who can beat us will we truly gain a foothold. At that time, we will slowly leave this Jingjiazhuang."

"Hey! Second brother, why don't you leave now?"

"Haha, okay, don't be so stupid? Now, where can I find so many people who dare to fight? If I can't find anyone, what should I use to train soldiers? Also, without the cover of the private mine accounts, will people outside doubt it?"

"Oh!" Li Gan suddenly realized.

What Qin Bai needs most now is time, and what he wants to do most is to keep a low profile. But he never expected that the response of matches outside would be so good, which had already attracted the attention of others...

...

As he was talking, Li Ying, Ding Yao and Miao Ya entered the house one after another. Li Ying smiled and said, "Second brother, I'm here to make an account. Sister Yao'er is in a hurry to come to see you."

Amid the laughter, Ding Yao's face turned red: "No...Yaoer, she was... a dressing change."

He smiled and called them to sit down. Seeing that Ding Yao was still at a loss, Qin Bai asked Li Ying first: "Yingzi, is the money in the account still enough?"

"Second brother, the money has been sent, but there is still a deficit of 620 taels. The goods have been put into the warehouse, and as you told me, I will not take out for the time being. But second brother, if this continues, our deficit will become bigger and bigger?"

This problem is still an old problem, that is, the cash-out problem. Although there are a lot of gains this time, the price of goods, horses and other things is more than 4,000 taels. Qin Bai is afraid that outsiders will be jealous and will not be willing to show off, so he refuses to discount it for the time being. However, the money sent cannot be delayed. But in this way, he is short of cash again.

"Slowly first. When the private mine is settled this month, I will ask the shopkeeper Zhang of Fenglong Money Store to spend some money and turn it over first. After this period, after we get the money from the matches to sell, we will not be short of money."
