Across the Far Mountain Tea Farmers

Actually doing things is not as simple as thinking in your head.

After Xiong Da listed his miscellaneous properties and gave them to Wen Lun, Wen Lun realized that he was naive.

In fact, Xiong Da also found himself naive after he settled those former comrades.He was kind, but as a result, although many retired soldiers accepted Xiong Da's kindness due to reality, they still felt that they were idlers.

In addition, the people who were originally in charge of industrial management in Xiongda also had some ideas in their hearts.

Xiong Da didn't have any accumulation. Although these people he used to help him do things, they were not loyal servants at all. After their status was threatened, they would naturally be shaken.Fortunately, Xiong Da removed his armor in time, and since he had no power in his hands, he was naturally relatively safe, and nothing happened for a while.

Looking at the list, Wen Lun couldn't help but sighed.

Yao Qing took out a roll of Qi State's atlas and sent it over.It is said to be an atlas, but it is actually just a simple map, which cannot be simplified, and only a map with general directions.This was originally a textbook compiled by Wen Lun himself for Yao Qing's geography class based on various miscellaneous books.The above content is all-encompassing at best, but it is not much different from saying nothing at all.

The biggest problem is that Wen Lun can't guarantee the accuracy of the information. At that time, he just paid more attention to the fun.Can business be done with imagination and fun?cannot!

Wen Lun didn't want to lose so much that he couldn't even put on his pants.In the eyes of ordinary people, Xiong Da's assets seem to be too much, but he has raised so many people. In the future, he will raise more people, and the speed of consumption is also very fast.

Xiong Da knows more than Wen Lun, but the industries are distributed in so many places, and it is impossible for him to visit all of them, and the final information is very limited.

When Wen Lun was at a loss, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop came to the door, and there was also an old man who was sick and tired.

The treasurer of the cloth village followed behind the old man like a servant, and didn't even dare to sit down: "This is the owner of our cloth village."

The old man looked very powerful, so he forced a laugh, and his appearance was even more frightening: "My surname is Qu, and my name is Wenxing. I met General Xiong and Mrs. Xiong."

"Madam Xiong" twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded.

General Xiong frowned: "Qu? Dare I ask, what do you call Qu Shangshu?" The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry's surname is Qu, and his name is Wenxiang.

Qu Wenxing said directly: "Qu Shangshu is my younger brother." He and Qu Shangshu have not released their fifth clothes yet, so they are still close.In addition to the Qu family's cloth shop business in Anjiang City, relying on Qu Shangshu's background, the business development in other places is also smooth.

General Xiong didn't have any big opinions on the group of people from the Ministry of Industry, but he didn't have much acquaintance with them.In other words, before he had time to make friends with these people in the court, he went back to his hometown in despair.

Qu Wenxing is a straightforward person, and he explained his intentions in a few words: "About the business of the cloth shop and the two of you, Qu wants to start selling those puppets under all the cloth shops of the Qu family."

Qu Wenxing himself didn't understand the fun of those strange animal shapes.But in fact, the price of these puppets is not high, and the workmanship does not cost much. The value created in a short period of time has already astonished him.What's more, this time it was Qu Shangshu who wrote to him directly, asking him to make good friends with the Xiong family.

Qu Wenxing didn't quite understand Qu Shangshu's intentions.Xiong Da's official position is high, but to put it bluntly, he is just a polished commander with no military power in his hands.What's more, Xiong Da was born from grassroots. In the eyes of the Qu family, Xiong Da has no money and no one. How can he deserve so much attention from Qu Shangshu?

Fortunately, Qu Wenxing didn't understand, but he didn't pretend to be smart either.The friendship with the Xiong family, or the implementation of Qu Shangshu's suggestion, is perfect and powerful.

The first step is to send money.

Yes, send.

Of course, Qu Wenxing sent it very skillfully. What he was talking about was cooperation, and the cooperation projects were discussed in detail, as if he was talking about business.

But Xiong Da is not stupid. Although Wen Lun is a scumbag, his IQ is not in arrears.Even though he didn't understand it at first, Wen Lun understood it later when he asked about the distribution of cloth houses in various places and some local conditions.

After sending off Qu Wenxing, the two looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry?" The old county uncle has some energy in the officialdom, but how can a dilapidated noble in a quiet corner compare to an important minister in front of the imperial court?Although Eunuch Cai had a close relationship with them, he did not keep in touch with them after returning to Beijing.What is it that makes the Minister of the Ministry of Industry rush to please them?

Wen Lun couldn't figure it out, so he just let it go temporarily.Although Qu Wenxing didn't say much just now, every sentence hit the point. After seeing his intentions, he also euphemistically mentioned a few key points of doing business and the local areas that need attention.

While his memory was still fresh, Wen Lun quickly wrote down what he had just said: "Check it out, is there anything I missed?"

Xiong Da looked at it carefully: "Well, it's all right."

With such detailed instructions, the next thing is trivial.Xiongda's industries in various places are also very small, but after a month, they finally let everyone have a job one after another.

In a month's time, in Wen Lun's view, this is not efficient at all.

In the eyes of those who have been paying attention, it is very efficient.In a family with a large stall, an order goes from top to bottom, and links follow one after another, and there are a series of people who handle it. There may be omissions or various things like obedience and inconsistency in every place.The Xiong family has few properties, and Xiong Da is a general who follows the rules and regulations. There are retired soldiers in various industries under him, and they still follow the rules of the battlefield.In the eyes of others, this is simply incredible.

Of course, those of the Xiong family are just small splashes.The joint business between the Xiong family and the Qu family is just a big stone thrown into the river!

In the capital, Qu Shangshu, who had just come to court, bumped into Qian Shangshu from the household department head-on.Qu Shangshu twitched his face reflexively, and then cupped his hands and said, "Master Qian." Every time I confronted this Qian Shangshu, I was exhausted in various ways. It was as difficult as trying to get two hairs off Qian Tiecock's body. crossbow.

This iron rooster, who gave all the court officials a headache, had the face of a Maitreya Buddha, white and chubby with crooked smiling eyes, more like a rich man with nothing on his mind: "Hehehe, Mr. Qu, you are welcome."

Hearing Qian Tiecock's laughter, the corners of Qu Shangshu's eyes twitched: "I wonder if Mr. Qian is..."

Qian Shangshu laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "Old Qu, what you have done is not proper."

Qu Shangshu was puzzled, so he heard Qian Shangshu continue: "I heard that your family has a brother, and it is very good to do business."

Qu Shangshu stared.The matter of making friends with the Xiong family was true according to his instructions, but he didn't pay much attention to how to implement it. He only learned through letters that the two companies started to cooperate in the puppet business, and he even sent a set at that time.His wife and daughter almost got into a fight.

There were seven oddly shaped puppets in that set, and his wife and daughter almost turned against each other over whoever had one more. In the end, there were three of them, and the remaining one was used as a back for him.Well, although the puppet looks weird, it is quite comfortable to lean on.

Qian Shangshu rubbed his five fingers together: "These few days at least I have earned... this amount."

Qu Shangshu was surprised by the figures reported by Qian Shangshu: "It's impossible!" They were just a few dolls, and they were not made of good materials, and the workmanship was not very good, and the cloth shop had only been selling them for a few days.This is just a worthless puppet, not selling gold!

Qian Shangshu was questioned about his professional level, and immediately began to count: "You see, the capital has sold so many these days. Doesn't your Qujia cloth village also have cloth villages in other prefectures? The population of the prefecture is not as large as that of the capital. But in terms of conversion, selling so many is not a problem, right? I looked at the materials of those puppets, and calculated the labor and cost. A puppets can at least earn this amount. Calculating this way, the figures I reported just now are too conservative! "

Qu Shangshu was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't deny it: "But...these are just a few puppets."

Qian Shangshu snorted, twisted his nose and left: "Old Qu, you are not a kind person." He is also an official in the court, and he is devoting himself to finding ways to make money every day. This Qu Shangshu is good, he can make money by sneaking around alone. It doesn't count if you're full, and you're still pretending to be stupid!The most hateful thing is that he even pretended to be exposed!so bad!

Qian Shangshu knew about this matter, and of course the emperor also knew about it.

The emperor squeezed the puppet heavily: "Hmph! This Xiong Xingyu is getting more and more courageous! Once he leaves the capital, he will be turned upside down!"

Eunuch Cai stuffed a puppet half a person's height into the back of the huge chair: "Try to lean on the emperor?"

The emperor fell back heavily, closed his eyes, hummed for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes again: "There is no bigger one?"

Eunuch Cai laughed and said, "The old slave has already ordered someone to customize it. How about letting the Sewing Bureau make one like this?"

The emperor grabbed the puppet's tail and stuffed it into his arms, and flatly refused: "No need! What's the point of being all the same. I'd like to see what else Wen Lun can do?" Such an interesting person, why? Just let that reckless Xiong Xingyu marry him?

"Yes." Eunuch Cai put the cushions on and refilled the emperor with tea.

The emperor took a sip: "Yunqing? This tea is better than the previous Wangchun." It's not long since you learned how to make tea, right?In two years, it will be comparable to tribute tea.

"Well, did you send it to the prince?"

"Send it."

At this time, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace frowned, watching a row of dolls with different expressions, and it had been an incense stick of time, he asked for the seventh time, "Is this sent by the order of my father?"
