History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"I'll offer you two options here. One is that you get a round, and I'll sell it to you for thirty yuan a piece, and then you can sell as much as you like. The other is that you don't need to pay. I will put the soap in your store for consignment, and the price is five yuan. Ten pennies, if you sell one piece, I will give you two pennies as a commission..." Minning continued.

The female shopkeeper waved her hand directly, "Needless to say, I will choose the first one."

Choosing the second option is absolutely greedy for cheap, it's like throwing away the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.

In business, you can't be greedy for petty gains!

"It's just that you are in charge? You don't seem to be old enough to sign a contract yet."

Minning smiled and nodded, "So I asked my brother to sign with you."

The female shopkeeper shook her head and said with a broken smile, "Haha, you are so wise and close to a monster. I am still sewing when I am your age!" At this time, she resumed her original voice, and no longer spoke in a whiny tone.

That being said, she still called the assistant in and asked Minning, "Where is your brother?"

While waiting for Minning to go, the female shopkeeper began to discuss the content of the contract with Minning. According to the female shopkeeper, the soap will only be for her family in the future, and it must be written in black and white.

Of course, Minning disagreed. She also planned to expand the scale of soap after earning the start-up capital, open a workshop to make soap, and further increase the types of soap.

Now a batch of soap has to wait for more than a month to be shipped, and the waiting time in the middle is too long.

It is best to shorten the time for soap molding. This is the first problem that the workshop should solve.

At that time, there will definitely be a large amount of inventory, even if the female shopkeeper has ten stores, she will not be able to eat it.

"No, it will be shipped in large quantities at that time. Unless the shopkeeper's stores are spread all over the city of Beijing, we won't be able to consume so much! Besides, soap is the same as rouge and gouache. Just one piece is enough, unlike food and drinks. Consumables can be stockpiled."

The female shopkeeper waved her hand, "I can't eat it in the capital, but I can also supply it to the surrounding states. I know a lot of shopkeepers. I have to let you know that the side Fujin of Prince Gong's mansion likes a kind of incense powder made by our shop very much." , often recruited me into the mansion, and said that if there is a problem with my shop, just go to Shuntian Mansion." At the end she looked Minning directly in the eyes.

Doesn't this imply to her that this shop has a relationship with Prince Gong's mansion?Otherwise, whose prince, Fang Fujin, would often recruit an irrelevant shopkeeper into the mansion?

Minning's eyelashes trembled, and he finally compromised, "Yes, but this contract has to be signed once a year."

Anyway, the layout will be completed a year later, whether or not the contract has a big impact on her, and the contract is signed with soap, at worst, it will be changed to soap, laundry soap, face soap, flower soap and other messy names, she will not believe it. How could a living person be suffocated to death by a name?

The female shopkeeper also had a small plan in mind, her master was Prince Gong's side Fujin, and opening these rouge shops was just to earn some pocket money.Even if the girl in front of me is a bannerman, it's not easy to get the formula.

When she got the formula, she kicked away the girl who was in the way.Can eat alone, who would like to share a bite?

While waiting for Minxing to come over, the two of them had a happy smile on their faces, but they both harbored ulterior motives in their hearts.

Minxing got Minning's words first, and he and his buddy unloaded all the soap from the car before coming in. Minning asked him to sign the purchase deed.

The purchase deed is prepared by the female shopkeeper, it is a white deed, and there is no need to report it to the government.

This kind of white contract is signed privately by the people, and even if something goes wrong, the government has no way to deal with it.In other words, this contract can be torn up at any time, but both parties don't care at the moment.

At least within half a year, the two parties are still in the honeymoon period.

Minxing walked out the door with six small silver ingots in his arms like a dream. He looked back at the rouge shop, but he still couldn't imagine that it was just waste oil that no one wanted. After processing, he could get so much silver in exchange. the difference?

When driving home, Minxing hugged Yinzi in his arms with his chest in his arms, and if there was any trouble on the road, he felt like he was facing a big enemy.

After finally getting home, he relaxed. When he entered the courtyard, he held six silver ingots with a dreamy face, and giggled.

Min Ning shook his head helplessly, and went into the room on his own, and after a while, he heard the sound of Min Yi begging Min Xing for a gourd outside.

It was only then that Minning remembered that the two of them just rushed home and forgot about it.Immediately she heard Min Yi's deafening cry, followed by Min Xing's begging for mercy.

After a while Minxing knocked on Minning's door, he was reluctant to put the money on her desk, and said, "I'll take Minyi out for a while, you remember to close the door, and put the money away too."

Minning did not refuse, but only accepted five ingots, and pushed one of the ingots to him. She said, "Brother, you deserve the ten taels. You paid for the oil collected earlier. And this I still have use for the remaining 50 taels, so let’s not divide them up.”

Min Xing declined, "How is this possible? I just tried my best and couldn't help, and Ama paid me the money for buying lard."

Minning stuffed the silver into his arms, "How can you say that it didn't help? What kind of heavy work like collecting oil, cooking oil and moving tanks is not done by my brother? I can't do these, but my brother has helped me a lot. And you are Man, you have to socialize when you go out, how can you do without money? If you’re done, just accept it, and I’ll give you this little bit at the beginning, and it will gradually increase in the future.”

Min Xing smiled embarrassedly, held the money, and said, "Then I will accept it." This was the first time he had such a large amount of money.

"What to do next, just tell me, brother promises to do it for you." Min Xing patted his chest and said proudly.

He knows the huge profits brought by business. No wonder Han people like to study business. The original cost of less than ten taels has doubled six times in a blink of an eye.And this is the first batch, if the rest of the batches are sold out, how much will you earn if you do the math?

Is it worth thousands of taels?

Min Xing was dizzy by this figure. One must know that the county magistrate only has a salary of more than 30 vehicles a year, plus the invisible income, it is only a little over a thousand, right?

In other words, the income of the family can already be comparable to that of the magistrate's family.

As soon as this realization came out, Min Xing was excited. With this income, who cares about the salary of a soldier who fills in the vacancy?

Moreover, at this time, it is just an invisible rule that banner people cannot do business. The imperial court has no explicit regulations. In addition, the banner people think that the status of businessmen is low, and doing business is also humiliating, so they look down on them in various ways.

But he doesn't care.

Although he is a Bannerman in name, he has half of the Han blood in his body. In addition, he has lived among the Han people since he was a child, so he doesn't think the identity of a Bannerman is so noble.

Business registration is not cheap, and you can also take the scientific examination. If you have a business registration, you can take the scientific examination on the spot without going back to your original place.

Thinking of this, he wished to go to work immediately and make more soap.

Minning smiled and refused, "It's been too hard to hold back all the energy during this period, and now that money is loose, let's rest for two days first..."

Min Xing suddenly became anxious, "I can't rest, how much money will I lose if I delay for a few days?"

Unexpectedly, this newly recognized brother is still an invisible money fanatic, Minning comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry, I think so, we can't make much if we two are exhausted, and this recipe is very simple. It is easy to guess if you need to study. So I want to use this time to buy a piece of land and build a workshop. Let’s recruit some people and do a big job before others realize it.” With soap, it is easy to make soap House cracked out.

As soon as Minxing's eyes lit up, he was about to turn around immediately, "Okay, I'll help you go to Yaxing to see the land!"

Minning hurriedly stopped him, "There's no rush. Also, isn't my brother going out with Minyi? Hurry up, or he'll start making trouble again."

The expression on Minxing's face froze, he patted his forehead, and turned around in a circle, "Oh no, I forgot about this trivial matter!" After finishing speaking, he hurried out, not forgetting to explain before leaving, "Sister, The matter of buying the land is waiting for me to come back to help you advise.”

When the people walked away, Minning couldn't help but smile, but soon withdrew the smile again.

She didn't tell Minxing that if she set up a workshop, the profits of the soap would be easily found out, and our family has no power and power, so we can't keep this industry at all.

As for the rouge shop she cooperated with, they were just watching from the sidelines. When they found out that the profit of soap was huge and the cost was low, they would be the first to attack them.

But if there is no workshop and the secret recipe of soap is kept in a short period of time, the safety of the family will definitely be a problem, so I am afraid that people will be in a hurry to attack the family.With a workshop, people can at most spend some money to get the prescription out.

And this, she has a way to deal with it, such as developing other types of soap.

Not running a workshop is just drinking eagles to quench their thirst, temporarily resisting other people's coveting, Fangzi will be taken away by more powerful people sooner or later.

So it's better to set up a workshop and seize the opportunity to make a fortune first. Even if the recipe is leaked, everyone will stand on the same starting line at most.

Moreover, there are too many prescriptions leaked, and the soap should be flooded. When the time comes, the price will inevitably drop, and the common people will be able to use it.She split another one to specialize in the low-end market, and her task in the future is to develop derivatives of soap, such as glycerin.Glycerin can be used to make cosmetics, even if you don't sell it for your own use.

In a few years, it's time to think about makeup, and she can't bear the lead powder in this era.

There is another thing she has to consider right now. She is thirteen this year, and she is already at the age of the draft. When she gets the contract to change her identity back, she must report her name.

Although it is just a formality for an ordinary bannerman like her to go to the draft, but before the draft, she can't make it public, so as not to attract other people's prying eyes, and she doesn't want to be accused of marriage for no reason.So the workshop had to be handed over to Ama and Minxing. After handing it over, it would become the family property, and she didn't plan to take it back in the future.

So she plans to wait until after the draft to open up a new way to make money, which only belongs to her own industry.

At present, the soap income is enough to improve the living environment of the family and lead a prosperous life.Quite a lot, and not too much to attract the covetousness of others, it can only be said to be just right.
