Chapter 111 The Harvest Season
Chapter 111 The Harvest Season
Spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage, this is the growth law of crops, and it is also the process of human growth.
It is also very practical for doing business.
Therefore, Yun Zhao invested in some shops in the spring, and on the day of the winter solstice, he harvested a lot of shops.
Because Lantian people no longer rely on the sky to eat, therefore, God is very face-saving, this year's climate is humid, no waterlogging or drought, and the wind and rain are smooth and make people forget the existence of God.
There was a lot of moisture in the air, and it was blocked by the tall Jade Mountain for a cold current to the south, and after the cold current met the majestic Jade Mountain, it formed a small cloud mass in this area.
With such a cloud mass, when the sky in other places in Guanzhong is clear and clear, the snow is fluttering within a radius of ten miles from Yushan.
Many happy people either rode in carriages, or rode donkeys, or walked, proudly walked into Yushan City, and sat at peace under the shed built in advance by Yun Qi, the Yun family's housekeeper, drinking hot mutton soup, eating a palm-thick pot helmet, waiting for the Yun family's tent to call their names.
The real food satisfaction is definitely not a sumptuous feast, but a large piece of mutton and a huge pot helmet.
When the pot helmets that are two feet in diameter and one palm thick are piled up, the feeling of hunger will be strange as in the previous life.
Anyone who is invited into the shed can take the food here at will.
Liu Ru held a tael of silver tightly in one hand, and dragged her daughter with the other hand, looking around through the crowd, although the girl was salivating for mutton, mutton soup, and huge pot helmets, Liu Ru refused to take it, and just wanted to give the county lord of Lantian County dividends as soon as possible, and take the opportunity to sell more roasted corn here.
When she came, the oven was full of green corn, and there was a pillar of incense, and the green corn that she had carefully preserved was about to be cooked.
The main character of the Yun clan today is Yun Niang!
After all, the name of Yun Niang is written on the contract signed with all the merchants.
She loves this kind of scene.
In the past, when the Yun tenants paid their rent, she liked to watch truckloads of grain poured into their granaries.
This gives her a great sense of security and happiness.
Later, the Yun family basically did not have tenants to come to the door, and even if the tenants had grain, they would hand it over to the grain depot, and give the Yun family some money, and the Yun family would buy grain from the grain depot......
In this way, there is no longer such a lively scene of thriving homes...... What a disappointment this made Yun Niang.
It's good now.
Countless more people have come to send money to the Yun family.
For Yun Niang, this is the biggest event of the year, just like collecting rent after the autumn, so she ordered her housekeeper Yun Qi to treat these hard-working businessmen as a treatment during the rent payment period of their own tenants.
At this time, Yun Niang was kind like a Buddha statue, sitting quietly in the deepest part of the shed, wrapped in a black fox robe, holding a copper stove in her hand, surrounded by a group of male and female minions.
"Anren, this is Liao's pharmacy's dividend this year, according to our agreement, Mrs. shares with one hundred taels of silver, accounting for one percent of the shares, this year's pharmacy business is good, plaster pills and loose medicine go far, so, the profit is also thick.
Here is the ledger, and here is the two hundred and seventy-six dollars and seven cents of silver. ”
Yun Niang smiled and flipped through the account book at will, put it on the table and said: "Shopkeeper Liao risked his life to keep the secret recipe at home, and would rather let the secret recipe rot in his stomach than let the villain succeed, and would rather pay for medicine himself than earn those unconscionable silver."
Just because of your pedantic, I don't believe you will do anything in the books.
Can a hundred taels of silver have a dividend of two hundred and seventy taels a year?
Shopkeeper Liao, the Yun family invested in your pharmacy to ask your pharmacy to give the people more good medicines and real medicinal materials, but I didn't think about how much money I made from you, and I didn't rely on the Yun family's great business to exploit you.
So, you make it clear, did your pharmacy really make so much money last year?
Let's be honest!
Whether it's giving more or less, I can't get by here. ”
The shopkeeper Liao shook it to the end and said gratefully: "Don't dare to hide from Anren, the income last year was really good, and after paying taxes, the dividends dedicated to Anren are real dividends."
The four shareholders of Liao's Pharmacy, except for the miscellaneous expenses such as the purchase of medicinal materials next year, each of them will pay dividends according to this amount.
Speaking of shame, the Liao family didn't make much effort, but they shared more than the An people.
I never dreamed that a serious business could be profitable. ”
Yun Niang frowned and looked at the tent, and the tent hurriedly said: "Madam, it's true, our family has to audit the account book every month, and this money is more than five taels of silver more than the one calculated in the account, and it is estimated that this is the silver of Liao's shopkeeper who even counts the three-day account-free period at the end of the year." ”
Yun Niang smiled and said to the shopkeeper Liao: "Then so be it, don't allow it next time, just do what you want, this business can be done for a long time."
Yunqi took the shopkeeper Liao into the courtyard to drink tea. ”
Yun Qi smiled and invited Shopkeeper Liao to walk through the shed and enter the Yun family's mansion, and the surrounding businessmen were hot for a while.
If there is a profit, there is a loss, when the old Zhou who sells the iron stove came to Yun Niang with a bitter face, he only had the account book in his hand, but there was no silver.
The tent immediately leaned over to Yun Niang and muttered a few times.
Yun Niang looked at the gloomy old Zhou and said: "Straighten my waist for me, there are losses and gains in business, I lose money this year, and I will earn it back next year."
In addition, if you lose, all shareholders should bear it, what are you carrying alone? ”
Lao Zhou said bitterly: "This is the old man who has no ability, and he thought that the iron stove could be sold at a good price in Luoyang, but he didn't expect that the goods were delivered, but the payment was not recovered." ”
Yun Niang said angrily: "Who dares? ”
Lao Zhou spread his hands and said: "No one is greedy for ink for our goods, but the merchant who ordered with us was raided by the imperial court, and our goods were pressed in Luoyang, so we can only sell them one by one and then return to the capital." ”
The tent interjected on the side: "Old Zhou, you are also crazy, Luoyang is now a place where thieves are rampant is a place to do business, and you dare to go to that place, I really don't know what to say about you." ”
Lao Zhou heard the words again and again, hoping to get Yun Niang's understanding.
"How much did you lose last year?"
"Two hundred and thirty taels of silver, all pressed on the goods."
Yun Niang said to the account room: "How much should we lose?" ”
The account office immediately said: "Our family occupies two percent of the shares, and we admit forty-six taels of silver." ”
Yun Niang patted the armrest of the chair and said angrily: "Then pay forty-six taels of silver, and the shares will remain the same." ”
The account room immediately counted out forty-six taels of silver, and coldly threw it to Lao Zhoudao: "Go over there to write a receipt, and after you finish writing, you will go to eat sheep soup pot helmets, and when you are full, you can earn silver for the shareholders in the coming year!" ”
Although he was coldly looked at by the Yun family, Lao Zhou, a man who has been striking iron all the year round, stood in the snow with a few ingots of silver and shed tears, and after writing the receipt, he saluted the tent and said: "I don't have the face to eat the good food of the shareholders this year, and after I plug all the holes next year, I will go to the mansion for a banquet." ”
These scenes were all seen by Liu Ru, and when it was her turn, she suddenly found that her daughter was gone, and she was about to call, but she saw her daughter sitting next to a man wearing a leather jacket, eating mutton in an old bowl bigger than her head, and holding a big pot helmet in her hand.
The man in the leather jacket squeezed his eyes at Liu Ru and said: "I am Lao Jin who walks to the west exit, seeing that your daughter is rare, let her stay here to eat and drink, you go to deliver, rest assured, everyone here knows me." ”
Liu Ru saw that everyone was laughing and teasing his daughter's eating and drinking, and the Yun family's servant wearing a black hat was on the side, and felt that these people had nothing to be afraid of, so he bowed and said, "Then bother this big brother." ”
The big man laughed, waved at her, and continued to put a large piece of mutton in the child's bowl.
Hearing that the account room was calling out his name, Liu Ru took a long breath, walked to Yun Niang, put the hot silver tael that had been held on the table and said: "In August, the Yun family invested one or two shares of the silver, accounting for two percent of the shares, and now it is the winter solstice in December, and the Yun family should pay a dividend of three hundred and fourteen dollars, here is the account book." ”
Yun Niang first looked at the tall Liu Ru, then at the ingot of silver on the table, and sighed: "You are a person who can do business." ”
Hearing Yun Niang say this, the account room immediately checked the flow account recorded by Liu Ru, and then said to Yun Niang: "It's not what's wrong, this mother-in-law is cunning, treacherous, the accounts are not bad, the records are clear, and the number of dividends is also poor."
However, this mother-in-law specially brought a silver ingot to share the dividends, and our family had to find her 686 copper coins...... Grandpa, she took the copper coins and went to make up one hundred and fourteen copper coins to exchange for silver from foreign merchants, and she could exchange them for one or two pieces of silver.
Earn us 200 dollars in one go!
It's really slippery! ”
Yun Niang was not angry when she heard this, but looked at Liu Ru with interest and said slowly: "What do you say?" ”
Liu Ru blushed at first, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "When the county lord became a shareholder, what he gave to the little woman was one or two pieces of silver, not copper coins.
The contract also says that the county respect's shareholding is one or two pieces of silver, which can be checked by the Anren. ”
Yun Niang smiled when she heard this, took the paperwork handed over by the account room, glanced at it, smiled more and more happily, patted the armrest of the chair and said: "My pig son really became a pig this time, Lao Yin, just do what she said, who will let us take care of the loss?" ”
