Partnering in a hat workshop?

Zhang Yuanchang and Lin Zhixiang looked at each other, and couldn't help but question: "Erlang, a Jiangxin mirror is less than a few times, and more than dozens of times, especially the kind of dressing mirror that is more than one person high, it is even more priceless, and you can't buy a mile for a few hundred yuan." And on the market, a hat with the best texture can reach the sky for hundreds of words, right? What kind of hat is this Yangzhou, and what can it do? ”

"Yangzhou felt hat!"

Cui Geng corrected it and said, "What? The two old men don't look down on this hat workshop? Don't forget, although the price of this Jiangxin mirror is expensive, only a few rich and noble families can afford it. But felt hats are different, they are inexpensive and affordable for everyone. Although the profit difference between a felt hat and a Jiang Xin mirror is very different, as long as this amount is large, the money earned is not worse than that of Jiang Xin Mirror! ”

"Small profits but quick turnover, how can the old man not know this truth? But it's still different. Lin Zhixiang sighed slightly, and told Cui Geng about the business experience, "For example, porcelain, it is also available to everyone." However, among the ships departing from the port of Thorn Tong, ordinary porcelain is produced nearby. Only a few precious porcelains were trafficked here from afar. Without it, the distance is too far, the freight is high, and the cabbage becomes the price of meat, which is not cost-effective. ”

The implication is that Lin Zhixiang is still questioning the popularity and popularity of Yangzhou felt hats, and whether they can really be sold in the north and south, and everyone can wear them.

"Uh... Well..."

Cui Geng is very sure that Yangzhou felt hats will be popular in the world, south to overseas countries, north to Khitan, people compete to buy, even if the price is far more than the local hat, there is no hesitation, its reputation is not under the mirror of Jiang Xin at all.

But what's the use of understanding for yourself? Could it be that I told Zhang Yuanchang and Lin Zhixiang that I had been in a coma for three months, had a ridiculous dream, and knew what would happen in the future? These words really came out, and the two old guys definitely regarded him as a psychopath.

For a while, he really couldn't explain it, and he couldn't help but be troubled.

In the end, he could only sigh and say, "That's it! Believe it or not, I have opened this hat workshop. If you don't want to partner, let my Cui family fund it yourself! ”

"Erlang, don't be angry."

Lin Zhixiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and kindly persuaded: "It's not that we two old guys don't want to open a hat workshop together, we just think that this doesn't make much money, and it's not worth spending so much energy and financial resources." Of course, if Erlang insists on it, even if you lose money, our brothers and sisters have to fully support it, ask for people to give people, and ask for money to give money! That's the attitude of both of us! ”

If you open a hat workshop, you can just invest a little silver, and Cui Geng will not persuade the two families to join in.

On the contrary, his Cui family has Cui's Wine Workshop and Jufenglong Silver Horn, and there is no shortage of silver to invest in the construction workshop, and he is mainly short of people, especially those who have believed.

There are really not many available and credible people around him, just a few. Feng Changqing and Zhou Xing's ability is enough, but doing this kind of business is inevitably a bit overkill.

As for Song Genhai and Yao Du? These two are about to become officials, where do they still have the heart to do business and open a business? He can't stop the future of his subordinates and help himself do his private work, right?

And the most important thing is that it is far from enough to have a leader in this business, what kind of account, stewardship, and procurement, all the key points must be trustworthy people. He Cui Erlang is about to go to Jiangdu County Commander, how can he have time to worry about the personnel management of the workshop?

Therefore, this deal is really unplayable without the help of the Zhang and Lin families. Anyway, both of them are big families with a century-old business name, and they have been operating in Quanzhou for several generations, so what talents are not in business? Perhaps the talents they are in dire need of are as simple as a two-headed shopkeeper randomly drawn from which semicolon they are in short supply.

Seeing that Lin Zhixiang and Zhang Yuanchang were relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was done.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "The two old men can rest assured, this hat workshop can't afford to lose." Let's wait, when the money rolls in, count the money and count the cramps! ”

"Still counting money until your hands cramp? Then borrow Erlang Jiyan. ”

Lin Zhixiang responded casually, obviously a little insincere. Originally, a felt hat with limited profits was bought and sold, and three families had to open it in partnership, what profit could this have? Just think of it as a personal match, let's have fun!

Then Cui Geng was on the head, and pulled the two to discuss the details of the hat workshop, and finally decided that the three families each contributed 5,000 yuan, and after Cui Geng gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou, Zhang Lin and the two families arranged for people to go north to open the hat workshop.

After talking about things, Zhang Yuanchang and Lin Zhixiang said goodbye and left on the grounds that it was not early.

……

After they left, Feng Changqing secretly handed over a letter to Cui Geng's hand, and said in a low voice: "This is Liu County's order before leaving, let me hand it over to you, saying that you don't want others to see it." ”

Now that everything in the sea and sky has been solved, what else is so mysterious about Liu Youqiu?

He opened the letter and looked at it to himself.

The letter said that this time, not only did he Liu Youqiu move to Chang'an to be promoted to the post of Dali Temple, but Lu Xiong no longer served as the Sima of Chaozhou, but wanted to go to Chang'an to serve as Taichangcheng.

Tai Changcheng has little power, but Liu Youqiu said in the letter that this is just an excess. Lu Xiong is Shangguan Wan'er's brother-in-law, and he will be of great use in the future. and persuaded Cui Geng to move around with Lu Xiong more in the future.

The letter is written here, but it's nothing, Cui Geng just takes it as a kind reminder from Liu Youqiu. Besides, he and Lu Xiong are still quite grateful, if it weren't for Lu Xiong's accidental relationship, he might still be subject to Lai Junchen, worrying about the other party's persecution all day long.

But the next few hints in the letter made Cui Geng a little dumbfounded.

In the letter, Liu Youqiu also said that he found that Lu Xiong had been depressed since the death of his only daughter Lu Lihua, that is, after seeing Cui Geng, he had a little smile on his face. So Liu Youqiu proposed Cui Geng, can you think about it and take the relationship between the Lu and Cui families further?

Now that Lu Lihua has passed away, the two families naturally can't continue to talk about marriage, and the relationship can't kowtow to Lu Xiong anymore, right?

Therefore, Liu Youqiu's proposal in the letter is - you see, Lu Xiong now has no children and no daughters under his knees, so it is better for you Cui Erlang to worship Lu Xiong as his father-in-law!

……

That's right, Liu Youqiu's letter meant to let Cui Erlang worship Lu Xiong as his father-in-law!!

Cui Geng suddenly exploded!

Liu Youqiu, Liu Youqiu, in order to marry Lu Xiong, you originally attached to Shangguan Wan'er, and made an initiative to marry the Lu family for me, but now that the little lady of the Lu family is gone, you asked your buddies to recognize Lu Xiong as your father-in-law. I'm rubbing, you're a bastard who tends to be inflammatory, you sold your little brother and became a Dali Zheng, and you're not satisfied? Want to sell it again?

Resentment, full of resentment entangled in Cui Geng's heart, if Liu Youqiu stood in front of him, Cui Geng dared to guarantee that this guy would not even recognize him.

Don't look at Cui Geng's love to play slippery and undisciplined, he doesn't mind slapping a little pony in order to be promoted, but for the sake of a splendid future, Cui Erlang thinks that he really can't do it!

Although he was full of gratitude to Lu Xiong, his heart was still full of gratitude.

But that's not a reason to recognize your godfather!

……

……

Lu Xiong's matter is put aside for the time being, anyway, I just go to write a letter from time to time and ask him for warmth.

After all; Lu Xiong's old age and loss of his daughter are also quite miserable, the lonely old man's right should be the dedication of love!

As for whether to recognize the godfather, I'll talk about it later, but I haven't reached that role yet.

Now he has to think more about going to Jiangdu County, Yangzhou.

He had to think about it in advance, at this time, Yangzhou's Lijingmen was probably already sharpening his knives, and he was trying to find a way to make a game, preparing to pit himself, the freshly baked county master.

If they really get some handle, even if Zhang Qian of the Zhang family in Weizhou helps take care of them in Yangzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out.

So, without further ado, let's hurry up and set off, and disrupt the rhythm of the gang of deflated calves in Lijingmen first.

Thinking of this, Cui Geng asked Yao Du, Song Genhai and others to go home and prepare. And decided that three days later, he would take a boat from Mulan Creek Wharf to Yangzhou.

When he informed the second mother and sister-in-law of this decision. Suddenly, Cui's house was jumping.

Because this is not the same as going to Quanzhou Zhichong Mansion to garrison for three months, but also different from temporarily leaving Qingyuan City to inspect the states and counties of Lingnan Road, but to go to other places to do county orders!

According to the imperial court system, the term of office of all officials, except for temporary assignments, was four years. In other words, Cui Geng will be away from home for at least four years.

If the term of office expires and is transferred to another place, then the days of returning home and staying for a long time will be even more endless.

To put it mildly, this official has been in office like this, and it is not impossible for Cui Geng to die in office when he is old.

Erniang was naturally the first to be anxious, "Will you go to Yangzhou in three days?" No, no, no, how can it be done in three days? Three months, at least three months! It's the first time you've been out of the door so far, how can you make good preparations at home? Of the cover which I wore with it, what preparations do not need time? ”

The little maid Chu Jiu was waiting by the side at this time, but he didn't think so, and said: "Second lady, our son-in-law is going to Yangzhou, and it's not a wild place, what do you need to prepare?" As long as you bring enough silver, what can't you buy in Yangzhou? ”

"That'...... That's not going to work either. What was bought temporarily, who knows if Erlang is used to it? Erniang glared at the mouthy Xiao Jiu'er.

Xiao Jiu'er was even more disapprehensive about this, wrinkled her nose and said: "According to what you say, those wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou are not as comfortable as our ordinary rich businessmen in Qingyuan?" There is no such reason in the world. In addition, I have heard that the emperor in the Chang'an Palace has to ask Yangzhou to pay various tributes every year. I've heard people say...... Oops! ”

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Jiu'er's ears had been twisted into a semicircle by the furious Erniang, and she chirped: "You unruly little girl, the old lady is talking to Erlang, what are you talking about?" Don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person! ”

"Second lady, don't screw it! Don't screw it! Hurt...... It hurts! Xiao Jiu'er grinned and said, "Xiao Jiu'er didn't mean to talk to you, didn't he want to relax your heart?" ”

"Pull it down, my heart is still wide with you?" Erniang muttered in her mouth and slowly let go of her hand.

Xiao Jiu'er didn't dare to shake her wit anymore this time, and grinned at Cui Geng and said: "Erlang, in fact, what the second lady said is also reasonable, no matter how good Yangzhou is, you will always be a little unaccustomed to it when you first arrive." So... So..."

Cui Geng heard that there was something in his words and asked, "So what?" ”

"As the saying goes, clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as before." Xiao Jiu'er frowned, and said a little embarrassedly: "Whether you bring anything or not is secondary, this person who is waiting, Erlang, you bring a familiar one." ”

Cui Geng then understood why Xiao Jiu'er was so bold just now, daring to help him speak, and he was a tiger beard!

He smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to go to Yangzhou with me?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Jiu'er nodded her head like a chicken chopping rice, and looked at Cui Geng with hope, lest he say a word.

Cui Geng thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said gently: "Jiu'er, I really can't take you this time." ”

"For ...... Why? Xiao Jiu'er's face was full of grievances, and she was about to cry.

Cui Geng also understands Xiao Jiu'er's mood, he is the age when he loves to play and make trouble, and he has the opportunity to play in such a prosperous place in Yangzhou, of course he doesn't want to miss it.

Cui Geng explained: "Look at our family, Erniang and sister-in-law are weak women. What really happened, and they could show their heads? Mauber can do it, but he's old and doesn't have much energy. You are the 'old man' of our family, and at the critical moment, you still have to rely on you to manage it? ”

The reason why he said this is that on the one hand, he does have this meaning, but the main reason is that Yangzhou is not peaceful, and he is afraid that Xiao Jiu'er will be cautious and uncertain at his age, and will be used by Li Jingmen under Lai Junchen. At that time, not only will he, the master, be unlucky, but even Xiao Jiu'er may also be worried about his life.

Xiao Jiu'er, a young man, was just when he wanted to take on the "heavy responsibility", but he was really frightened by Cui Geng's words, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, I'm not leaving." Erlang, don't worry, I'll take care of the family! ”

Cui Geng, as the master, can say so, but Xiao Jiu'er said this, which is really a bit of a big deal.

But everyone treats Jiu'er as a child, and no one cares about him.

Mao Bo was beside the old god, with a silver hair in his hand and a smile: "Jiu'er, Erlang didn't take you to the prosperous place in Yangzhou, don't feel sorry." Staying at home is good for you! ”

"What's the benefit?" As soon as she heard the benefits, Erniang's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Xiao Jiu'er to ask, she preemptively asked.
