I really don't want to rebel

Chapter 142 Eight Hundred Gun Heads

Piaoxiangyuan fell into silence, like a calm lake without a trace of waves.

Jiang Yunfan said: "The chamber of commerce has started to operate at a high speed, and it has already opened stores in major counties in Nanjun. Among them, the opening of the store costs 4 taels of silver, and the up and down management costs 2 taels of silver, totaling 6 taels of silver."

"Including the transportation of the commercial road and the members of the chamber of commerce guards, the consumption will probably be less than 1 taels by the end of the year. The football field is under planning, and it will cost about 5000 taels of silver. Adding in the cost of our store to sell the goods, it will probably cost tens of thousands. two."

"I calculated it. If we use the money from the chamber of commerce, we can allocate up to 8 taels of silver. The rest of the money must ensure the operation of the chamber of commerce."

Unless it was a last resort, Jiang Yunfan really couldn't open his mouth. After all, he had to lead the bosses to make a lot of money a few days ago, and now he wants the boss to invest more, which is really unreasonable.

Wang Wen stood up and said, "Young Master Jiang, there is no need to do this. It is our duty to protect Huayang County. It is our duty to do so. I am willing to give another 2 taels of silver!"

"I'll pay another 1000 taels!" A boss got up and said.

"Although my blacksmith shop doesn't make money, it's still considered a small fortune. I'll pay 500 taels!" Boss Wu said loudly.

Other bosses are also starting to bid.

Jiang Yunfan raised his hand and said, "Bosses, don't worry. If anyone wants to quit now, I, Jiang Yunfan, will not make things difficult for him. I will also return all the funds he invested. Those who want to quit now, please go out and turn right. After discussion, we will return the money you invested in full."

As soon as this remark came out, some bosses were moved.

Several of them walked out with their heads down without saying a word.

But the remaining bosses are very firm, which also excludes some weak-minded people.

In the end, more than [-] bosses chose to quit. They walked out with their heads down, feeling very humiliated, but in the face of reality, they still chose to bow their heads.

"Mr. Jiang!" A boss stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Although I am not a native of Huayang County, I respect Mr. Jiang as a man. The county magistrate of our Kaishan County started to increase taxes the day before yesterday, which made the entire Kaishan County The chickens and dogs are restless, I must have heard the wind and wanted to get a ticket and leave."

The boss changed the subject and said: "But Mr. Jiang is different! Mr. Jiang told us such a big event, that is trust! Just because of this trust, I have decided to bring my family to Huayang County! I I am willing to donate 1 taels of silver to contribute to the defense of Huayang County! Even if it is not defended, I have no complaints!"

"That's right! Our Qingtang County is the same! Our Qingtang County is also imposing taxes, but Huayang County is not the same! I am willing to move my family to Huayang County, and I am willing to donate 2000 taels of silver!"

Many local bosses in Huayang County donated money one after another.

The remaining bosses are all steadfast people, and their roots are firmly rooted in Huayang County. If Huayang County is destroyed, their roots will also be broken.

"My lord, the statistics are ready." Qian Yunzhong came over with a notebook and said, "There are 23 bosses who quit, and a total of 9000 taels of silver were returned. The remaining bosses donated a lot for free, totaling 13 Eighteen thousand five hundred taels of silver."

Jiang Yunfan got up and bowed his hands, saying: "Thank you all the bosses for your help. I, Jiang Yunfan, promise that the money will be used where it should be used! My second brother has already gone to the capital, and news will come back within ten days. My second brother will also get back a sum of money, plus our current money, it is probably enough."

"Young Master Jiang, don't worry! Those who quit are just snobs!" A fat middle-aged man said: "I have carefully studied the account books of the chamber of commerce, and it has been four days now. Take the milk tea shop in the county town as an example. , The net profit was one tael on the first day, five taels on the second day, ten taels on the third day, and a full 40 taels of silver on the fourth day!"

"With such huge profits, it won't take long for our investment to be repaid! It's okay for those short-sighted and unstable people to leave!"

Many bosses felt relieved upon hearing this.

indeed so.

The profits of barbecue shops and milk tea shops are there. Although I used to worry that winter is an off-season for barbecue shops, but now that this worry is unnecessary.

The milk tea shop can sell hot drinks in winter, and coffee has been newly added, which is a special taste.

Winter is indeed an off-season for barbecue restaurants, but the newly launched hot pot is definitely a big killer in winter!
After tasting the taste of hot pot, the bosses believe more and more that just two small shops will bring them high profits!

Milk tea shops can deliver orders in the form of takeaway, people don’t have to queue up, there will be someone to deliver it to your door, and the errand fee only costs two copper coins!Moreover, the milk tea shop can also sell sweaters, which saves money for the shop that even sells sweaters. After all, opening a shop that only sells sweaters is a bit too extravagant.

"Actually, bosses, there is no need to panic. I, Jiang Yunfan, are not without cards." Jiang Yunfan smiled and said, "I asked Boss Xia to go to other places to recruit a lot of soldiers, a total of 6000 soldiers, plus the chamber of commerce guards. , There are more than [-] people, but the time has not been trained yet.”

"There are more than 6000 people?" Wang Wen said in surprise: "In this way, Huayang County should be safe at least until the end of the year. The princes in Xizhen and other places are very timid and will definitely wait for the relief food. If they can't get through, they will come to invade my South County when they are hungry."

The bosses are relieved and let out a long sigh of relief, at least this year can have a good year.

Jiang Yunfan continued: "It's just that there is a huge problem now! That is, there are no weapons! The purchase price of 6000 weapons is not a small number, but the most important thing is that there is no source of supply! Now there are rumors of rebellion outside, and these things have spread to the ears of merchants. If a merchant has a weapon in his hand, he will sell it for a price!"

"I have 800 spear heads in my small shop!" Mr. Wu, the blacksmith shop owner, got up and said, "Now, I don't hide it anymore. The Queen came to the throne three years ago. After a period of civil strife, everyone should know , At that time, someone asked my father to make [-] long guns, but in the end the man died, and the long gun fell into his hand. Later, fearing that the government would investigate, my father destroyed the barrel of the gun and asked me to hide the end of the gun .”

Jiang Yunfan clapped his hands and said with great joy: "Great! Although 800 long guns are not enough, it is better than nothing. At least 800 people can be armed, so that they have the power to fight! Are the gun heads still intact?"

Boss Wu of the blacksmith shop slapped his thigh and said: "It's broken! I buried it next to my grandfather's grave! Although I packed it in a box and wrapped it tightly with linen, it's been three years now, and I can't give birth all the time." rust!"

Boss Wu ran away, and Jiang Yunfan and others hurriedly chased after him.

"You bastard! How did you put it in the box and bury it?" Wang Wen said with hatred.

"No-promise thing! You should put the box containing the gun head in your grandfather's coffin! That place is absolutely tight!"
