Zhou Lijun said: "The merchants that my fourth uncle and I are looking for now have used our ointments and creams before and know that our products are good. But if we don't have a shop or a workshop registered with the imperial court, they won't do it."

Dare to buy on a large scale.”

"I thought, since we are going to do something, we have to do it well," she said: "Our ointments and creams are not cheap, and we are dealing with people with modest assets. In this case, this shop cannot be casual.

Find a place. There is a street dedicated to selling rouge, gouache and silk satin on the east side of the inner city. There are also silver shops and bookstores there. It can be said that the most profitable shop in Dajin is right there. The one I chose

The shop is actually not expensive. I have asked about more expensive shops and it might cost 20 million to buy."

Old Zhou felt his heart beating rapidly and asked, "How much is twenty million dollars?"

Man Bao said: "That's twenty thousand taels."

Zhou Lijun nodded and said, "I came to this shop because I said we had silver. If the copper coins I give you are less than nine million, they won't sell it."

There is still little silver, and even less gold. The former can still be circulated, but the latter is not in private circulation at all and only exists in particularly large transactions.

Silver is more convenient to transport, so merchants especially like it. This is one of the reasons why the exchange rate of copper coins for silver always remains high.

And silver can also be used to make jewelry, even less so.

In fact, the Zhou family also has a lot of copper coins, but more of them are silver. This is thanks to Zhou Lijun. She has always told Zhou Lang to exchange it for silver at a low price if there is a chance.

When doing business, if you can settle in silver, you will never need copper coins.

In addition, since she is often in the capital, she can always pay attention to the silver exchange prices in places such as silver houses, pawn shops and government offices. As long as the silver price is slightly lower, she will exchange her copper coins for silver.

Not only is it easy to store, but when she needs silver now, she can quickly take it out.

Of course, the most amount of money that passed through her hands and was distributed to various families was silver.

Lao Zhoutou was not very good at arithmetic. He originally thought that a shop worth more than 8,000 taels was expensive, but now it was converted into a shop worth 9 million yuan. He felt that it was even more expensive, so he said nothing.

Qian looked at them and asked, "What do you mean by each room?"

Zhou Lijun said first: "My sister-in-law has promised that she will recognize 10% of the share. What I mean is that the other houses will also recognize 10%. But except for my sister-in-law, including me, the 10% share will have to be paid 10%."

Three percent of the money is considered as sharing the 20 percent of the father's share. The recipe belongs to my sister-in-law, so she doesn't have to pay for it."

Everyone had no objection to this. Zhou Liwei raised his hand and asked, "We can only admit one room to another. Can I admit it alone?"

"No," Zhou Lijun said seriously: "Even if the other houses don't want it, it must be divided equally among the houses. If there is a house owner who doesn't want it, then it will be divided again. It can only be divided into one room and one room."

Zhou Liwei thought for a while and objected to his sister, "Then how can you subscribe alone? You are also our second wife."

Zhou Lizhong coughed slightly, "Are you going to fight with the second sister?"

Zhou Lijun said: "I'm married."

"That aunt..."

Zhou Lijun said: "I am in charge of at least half of my family's business. I can't manage it for free. I'm not convinced if I just want wages. I want the right to subscribe."

Man Bao nodded repeatedly, that’s right, I’ll work for you for free.

Zhou Liwei nodded, "Okay."

Qian remained silent. After they finished speaking, she looked at her son and daughter-in-law present and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Fang pondered for a moment and then said: "The child's father said before he left that if the family wants to buy a shop, we can just follow him."

Wu Lang and Liu Lang didn't have any objections either. They had known about it since they played with Man Bao and Zhou Lijun when they were young.

The smartest one in the family is Man Bao, then the fourth brother and Lijun. The fourth brother is the most cunning, but Lijun is the one who settles accounts. He is more stable than the fourth brother. If you follow her, it will be difficult to lose money.

.

Mrs. Qian nodded. Zhou Liwei from the second room and Zhou Ligu from the third room both said it was okay, and her eyes fell on Zhou Dalang.

Zhou Dalang said: "I have no objection."

The matter was thus settled.

Zhou Lijun felt refreshed and said, "In that case, let's pool the money from each house and I'll pay the deposit tomorrow. I'll collect enough money to buy the shop on the 16th and try to open it before the Double Ninth Festival."

The crowd dispersed.

Qian stopped Zhou Dalang and asked him to stay and talk.

After everyone went out, she asked him, "How many private rooms do you and your wife have?"

Zhou Dalang scratched his head and said, "More than eight hundred."

Mrs. Qian sighed, "That's still a lot short. I have been holding the money for the third child, which is only more than 800. I thought that I spent a lot on marrying a wife, so you guys should be a lot short.

What are you going to do with this little money?"

Zhou Dalang said: "Man Bao came to see the child's mother last night and said she was short of five hundred taels and she lent it to us."

Qian frowned slightly and said, "Man Bao is getting married soon, and she has to prepare a dowry."

She couldn't help turning around and asked Lao Zhoutou, "Do you know how much money Man Bao has on hand?"

Lao Zhou shook his head, "I don't know, Lijun probably knows."

Qian thought for a moment and then said: "That's all, since she wants to lend it to you, then just keep it."

Zhou Dalang nodded and retreated.

After her son left, Mrs. Qian said to Lao Zhoutou: "There is no need to save the money, just buy it for Man Bao's dowry."

Lao Zhou glanced at her and said, "I have already prepared it. You really want to lend them our private room."

Qian gave him a squeeze and said, "Why are you so upset? Why am I not this family? If a bowl of water is not kept level, this family will fall apart sooner or later."

She said: "Didn't you listen to Er Yatou? This shop is making money. When you take the money now, don't you think that when you make money in the future, if any room is missing, you will definitely feel resentful when you think about what happened today. Never mind.

Is it right or wrong? When there are grievances, it is easy to quarrel. If there are too many quarrels, people's hearts will be hurt. When people's hearts are broken, the family will break up. Otherwise, why do you think Er Yatou doesn't let everyone claim their share?"

"If it can be recognized by individuals, Manbao can take away everything they don't want in one go, and Shiro can establish a monarch and establish prestige. Even Wulang and Liulang will have spare power. In that case, the first and third rooms will be weakened, and in the future the shop will

The bigger the business, the bigger the gap will be. Not to mention the next generation, I'm afraid this generation will start to quarrel."

So she wants to be equal, at least, as much as the shares of the other houses, the big house and the third house, especially the big house. They will be in charge of the family in the future, so they cannot be weaker than the younger brothers and sisters below, otherwise

If it comes out, it will be treated as a fart.
