Chapter 130 The troubles of Liu Taishi
Guo Zi was a little excited and kept talking at various items on the car outside the door.
It is not easy to do all of these in such a short time. Guo Zi, who is responsible for it, has put a lot of effort into it. The newly opened market has been decided by Guo Zi, which is exactly what he likes. After struggling in the officialdom for so many years, Guo Zi is a little tired of intrigue with various bureaucrats, and would rather do these real things.
Yan Su was also interested in these things and pulled Guo Zi to ask about the purpose and production process of each thing, which was not labor-intensive, and he had a very detailed question. On the contrary, he had no idea how much it could be given to the court.
Xu Ping originally wanted to pull Yan Su to study and make clocks and push his lotus leaks forward. He thought that it would take a month or two before the craftsmen he trained in Yongzhou to come to the capital. In the end, it would be fine, and I will talk about it at that time.
Just when Xu Ping and others were busy at the editorial office, in the restaurant by the Bian River, Master Liu looked worried and sat on a chair and frowned and listened to his subordinates' confiding.
Shi Qingnian said with a bitter face: "Taoshi, now the people in the goods service have changed, and the tea entries have also changed. What should we do if there are so many old tea entries in our hands? If we go to exchange for new tea entries, we must pay real money. How can we have so much cash in each shop? If we resell it to a Southeast tea merchant, then we will basically have no profits! In addition, the "Deng" store has been appointed as an official in the past two days, and everyone has lost a lot of money this time!"
Master Liu rubbed his eyebrows and said nothing. These disciples only knew that they had lost a lot of money, but they didn't know how Master Liu was even more troubled about how he explained to the powerful and powerful families behind him. Although he told Master Liu that he was a servant and a servant, if he had less money from the master's family, these kids could still rely on the power of the master to make Master Liu's students worse than death.
"Trial Master, you are talking! Without this money, it is a trivial matter for us to eat less and drink less. If the public officials in each yamen have less money, I don't know what they will do. Once they are disloyal, it will be difficult for us to do things in Kaifeng Prefecture! How can we stay in the capital in the future?"
Master Liu raised his head, tried to show a relaxed expression, and said to Shi Qingnian: "Xiao Qilang, please listen to me, keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of burning firewood. This year we will suffer a little, try to squeeze out some money. Those powerful families must not be less money. Without them as their backers, we will be nothing. A judge in Kaifeng Prefecture can take our lives. The public officials in each yamen have to divide people, and the key people must be left. Without them, we cannot do things. We cannot do things. What's the use of powerful families to find us? As for the public officials who just follow the miscellaneous, we can deduct a little. If they want to cause trouble, we can find new people to serve them. The new yamen do not understand the market, so naturally they dare not speak out."
After hearing this, Shi Qingnian said with a bitter face: "After all the time, this company cannot be missed, and that company cannot be missed, but if we give it to them, we will have no money to turn over. How can we continue to do business?"
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Why are you impatient? I have walked more bridges than you have. I have never seen any scenes before? I have survived them all! Xiaoqilang, as long as you follow me through this difficulty, you will be smooth in the future! The glory and wealth in the capital are no problem, and it is not even difficult to be rich than kings and princes!"
Shi Qingnian just shook his head. What's the use of saying this now? The key is whether the current difficulties can pass. Each exchange shop has money, but this business must have a lot of capital turnover. Once the money chain is broken, the prospects are worrying. If two or three exchange shops are dumped, the amount of money they made in the past will be empty.
Master Liu took a sip of tea and said seriously: "I heard that the Third Division is going to open a new business in the north of the city. I have also inquired about it. The deputy envoy of the salt and iron in Yongzhou has been in charge and can earn a lot of money every year. You use more snacks these days, and the new business must require many officials. You must seize the opportunity to put your own people in it. This is much faster than moving a little from the east and west of each business to get money. If you seize this path, we don't have to hang ourselves on the tree in the custody shop."
"That Xu Ping still has this ability? Didn't I hear that he was almost overturned by the Censorate a few days ago!"
Now that the situation is different, Master Liu's temperament suddenly improved, and he was tempted by Shi Qingnian: "Xiao Qilang, you have to be optimistic about being a person and have a vision! Look at Xu Ping's family, after only so many years, he has become a wealthy family in the capital. Xu Ping has the ability to make money, so don't underestimate it! If we seize the opportunity this time, we may be able to lay the foundation for wealth for a lifetime, so don't do it casually."
Shi Qingnian said: "Since the Grand Master said that, I think it's not wrong. The craftsmen don't have our people, but they need officials to manage their affairs, but they can't avoid us. Since the Five Dynasties, they can handle official documents from the yamen and the officialdom, and how many people we don't know? With a little care, he will not be able to bypass us!"
"Just know, be careful. Those craftsmen don't need to worry about it, but those who do things can't cause trouble. What do they do? We just make money and do what they do in the business!"
By this era, the official documents and regulations in the yamen were already quite strict and complicated, and even many officials in charge could not handle them. They could not be handled by any person who reads and reads. They had to be specially trained. This is the biggest resource in the hands of Master Liu. Most of the people who can be public officials are connected with his people and it is easy to unite.
Xu Ping didn't know that someone had already made up his mind, and was still enthusiastically taking Yan Su and a few others to visit the samples made and introduced them one by one.
Zhang Zongxiang picked up a mirror and looked at it. Seeing that the image inside was clearly visible, completely like the real one, she was surprised: "You should also sell this kind of thing? Shouldn't such a treasure be exclusively for use by the inner court?"
Xu Ping said: "Where is this treasure? Gold and silver are treasures! If you like it when the venue is started, you will give you a gift after it is made. What is this worth it?"
With glass, what's the difficulty of making a mirror? Although it is impossible to make ammonia and can't be used to react with silver mirrors, you can use tin amalgam and other mirrors. The mirror made in this way is naturally not as bright as the silver plated behind it, but compared with the bronze mirror, it is already in the sky and the ground, which is enough to make Zhang Zongxiang amazed.
Zhang Zongxiang didn't dare to accept Xu Ping's kindness, so he lowered the mirror in his hand and said, "Don't need the deputy envoy to send me it. When there is something sold in the capital, I will just buy one. Since I open a shop and sell it, the price will not be too high."
"The price is appropriate at that time, and there is no conclusion now. Maybe two people will be invited to consider it. As long as you have money to make this kind of goods, it is not appropriate to make a lot of money. Small profits but high sales are what the government wants to run the market."
The officialdom should not only be to make money, but also to cultivate industries, workers, and markets, and to make everything into luxury goods. Xu Ping's purpose of opening these businesses is not just to make money. He wants to cultivate the industrial and commercial sales market of the Song Dynasty and cultivate industries one by one, which is the long-term solution.
