Spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage are the growth rules of crops and the process of human growth.
It is also very practical for doing business.
So, Yunzhao invested in some shops in the spring, and by the winter solstice, he had harvested many shops.
Since Lantian people no longer rely on the sky for their livelihood, God is very kind to them. The climate this year is humid, neither flood nor drought, and the weather is so smooth that people forget the existence of God.
There is a lot of moisture in the air, and the cold current going south is blocked by the tall Jade Mountain. After the cold current encounters the majestic Yushan, it forms a small cloud mass in this area.
With such a cloud and air mass, when the sky is clear and clear in other places in Guanzhong, snow is falling within ten miles of Yushan.
Many happy people walked into Yushan City in carriages, donkeys, or on foot, with pride on their faces, and sat at ease under the shed built in advance by Yun Qi, the steward of the Yun family. , drinking hot mutton soup, eating a palm-thick pot of pot helmet, waiting for Yun's tent to call their names.
The thing that can really bring people food satisfaction is definitely not a sumptuous banquet, but large pieces of mutton and huge pot helmets.
When pot helmets with a diameter of two feet and a palm's thickness pile up like a mountain, the feeling of hunger will be as strange as it was in the previous life.
Anyone invited into the shed can freely use the food here.
Liu Ru held one tael of silver tightly in one hand and dragged her daughter with the other hand, looking around in the crowd. Although her daughter was salivating for mutton, mutton soup, and huge pot helmets, Liu Ru refused to get it. She just wanted to distribute the dividends to the county magistrate of Lantian County as soon as possible and take the opportunity to sell more roasted corn here.
When she came, the oven was filled with green corn, and the green corn that she had carefully preserved would be roasted in just one stick of incense.
The main character of the Yun family today is Yun Niang!
After all, Yun Niang’s name is written on all contracts signed with merchants.
She likes this scene.
In the past, when Yun's tenants paid their rent, she liked to watch the carts of grain being dumped into their granary.
This gave her a great sense of security and happiness.
Later, the Yun family basically had no tenants coming to the door. 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 the grain from the grain depot...
As a result, there is no longer the lively scene of a prosperous family... This makes Yun Niang so, so disappointed.
It’s fine now.
Countless people came to send money to Yunshi.
For Yun Niang, this is the biggest event of the year, just like collecting rent after autumn, so she ordered the housekeeper Yun Qi to treat these hardworking merchants as her own family. of tenantsOne treatment during the rental period.
At this time, Yun Niang was as kind as a Buddha statue, sitting quietly in the deepest part of the shed, wrapped in a black fox fur coat, holding a copper heater in her hand, surrounded by a group of men and women Minions.
"Anren, this is the dividend of Liao's Pharmacy this year. According to our agreement, my wife will invest one hundred taels of silver and hold 10% of the shares. The pharmacy's business is good this year, and the pills and powders are sold. It's far away, so the profit is also sealed.
Here is the account book, and here is the dividend of two hundred and seventy-six yuan and seven cents of silver."
Yun Niang smiled casually. After flipping through the account book, he put it on the table and said: "Shopkeeper Liao risked his life to keep the family's secret recipe. He would rather let the secret recipe rot in his stomach than let a villain get it. He would rather pay for the medicine himself than make money from those who have no money." Conscience money.
Because of your pedantry, I don’t believe you can do anything in the account book.
One hundred taels of silver can be paid out twice a year. One hundred and seventy taels?
Shopkeeper Liao, Yun’s investment in your pharmacy is to give your pharmacy more good medicines and real medicinal materials for the people, but it’s not about how much money it makes from you. Let’s not exploit you because of the great business of the Yun family.
So, tell me clearly, did your pharmacy really make so much money last year?
Tell the truth! p>
No matter if you give me more or less, I can’t get through here.”
Shopkeeper Liao bowed his head and said gratefully: “I don’t dare to lie to An Ren, the income was really good last year. After paying taxes, the dividends given to Anren are real dividends.
Everyone of the four shareholders of Liao's Pharmacy will receive dividends according to this amount, except for the miscellaneous expenses such as purchasing medicinal materials next year.
It's embarrassing to say that Liao didn't put in much effort, but he got more points than Anren.
I never dreamed that I could get something by doing business seriously. The profits are huge."
Yun Niang frowned and looked at the accountant. The accountant quickly said: "Madam, it is true. Our family has to review the account books every month, and the money is less than what is calculated in the accountant. There is more than five taels of silver, probably because Shopkeeper Liao has included the money from the three-day debt-free period at the end of the year." Yun Niang smiled and said to Shopkeeper Liao, "That's it. Well, don’t do it next time, do whatever you want, so that this business can last for a long time.
Yun Qi, take shopkeeper Liao into the courtyard for tea.”
Yun Qi invited with a smile. Shopkeeper Liao walked through the shed and entered Yun's mansion, and the merchants around him were jealous.
Everyone who makes money loses money. When Lao Zhou, the iron stove seller, came to Yun Niang with a bitter look on his face, he only had an account book in his hand, but no money.
The accountant immediately came to Yun Niang and whispered a few times.
Yun Niang looked at Lao Zhou who looked unlucky and said: "Straighten your back for me. In business, there are losses and profits. If you lose this year, you can make it back next year.
In addition, all shareholders should bear the responsibility for the loss. Why should you bear the responsibility alone?"
Old Zhou said bitterly: "ThisThe old man was incompetent and thought that the iron stove could be sold at a good price in Luoyang. Unexpectedly, the goods were delivered but the payment was not recovered. "
Yunniang said angrily: "Who dares? ”
Old Zhou spread his hands and said: “No one is greedy for our goods. The merchant who ordered from us was confiscated by the court. Our goods are stuck in Luoyang, and we can only go one by one.” You can get your money back after you sell it. "
The accountant interjected: "Old Zhou, you are also crazy. The place where thieves are rampant in Luoyang is a place for business. You dare to go to that place. I really don't know what to say about you. What good. "
Lao Zhou bowed repeatedly when he heard this, hoping to get Yun Niang's forgiveness.
"How much did you lose last year? ”
“Two hundred and thirty taels of silver were all put on the goods. "
Yunniang said to the accountant: "How much should we pay? "
The accountant immediately said: "Our family holds 20% of the shares and will pay forty-six taels of silver.
Yunniang patted the armrest of the chair and said angrily: "Then the compensation will be forty-six taels of silver, and the shares will remain unchanged." "
The accountant immediately counted out forty-six taels of silver, threw it to Lao Zhou coldly and said: "Go over there and write the receipt. After you finish writing, go and eat the mutton soup pot helmet. When you are full, you can give it to me in the coming year. Shareholders make money! "
Although he was treated coldly by Yun, Lao Zhou, a man who has been working hard all year round, stood in the snow with a few ingots of silver and shed tears. After writing the receipt, he saluted the accountant and said: "This year I have no shame in eating good food from shareholders. After I plug up all the holes next year, I will go to the mansion to have a banquet. ”
These scenes were all seen by Liu Ru. When it was her turn, she suddenly found that her daughter was missing. She was about to call out, but she saw her daughter sitting on a man wearing a leather jacket. Next to her, there was a big bowl of mutton that was bigger than her head, and he was holding a big pot helmet in his hand.
The man wearing a leather jacket winked at Liu Ru and said: " I'm Lao Jin from the west entrance. Seeing that your daughter is interested, I asked her to stay here to eat and drink while you go and make the delivery. Don't worry, everyone here knows me. ”
Liu Ru saw that everyone was laughing and teasing her daughter to eat and drink, while Yun’s servant wearing a black hat was standing aside. He felt that these people had nothing to be afraid of, so he bowed and said: “Then I’ll trouble this big brother. ”
The big man laughed, waved to her, and continued to put a large piece of mutton into the child’s bowl.
Hearing the accountant calling his name, Liu Ru took a long breath. With a tone of voice, he walked up to Yun Niang, put the heated one tael of silver on the table and said: "In August, the Yun family invested one tael of silver, accounting for 20% of the shares. Now it is the winter solstice in December. The Yun family should receive a dividend of three hundred and fourteen dollars. Here is the ledger.
Yunniang first looked at the tall Liu Ru, then at the ingot of silver on the table, and sighed: "You are a business person." ”
When the accountant heard what Yun Niang said, he immediately checked the running account recorded by Liu Ru, and then said to Yun Niang: “That’s not what happened. This woman is a treacherous woman.”Cunning and cunning, the accounts are not bad, the records are clear, and the amount of dividends is also bad.
However, this woman specially brought a piece of silver to share the dividends, so our family had to find 686 copper coins for her... Oh my God, she took the copper coins and then went to make up another hundred. Fourteen copper coins can be exchanged for silver from out-of-town merchants, and one tael of silver can be exchanged.
He made us two hundred cents at once, inside and outside!
Really tricky! "
Yunniang was not angry after hearing this. Instead, she looked at Liu Ru with interest and said slowly: "What did you say?
Liu Ru blushed at first, then raised her head after a while and said: "When the county minister bought the shares, he gave the little woman one tael of silver instead of copper coins."
The contract also states that the county official’s stake is only one tael of silver, and Anren can check it. "
Yun Niang smiled when she heard this. She took a look at the document handed over by the accounting clerk and smiled even more happily. She patted the armrest of the chair and said, "My pig son really did it this time. Pig, Lao Yin, just do as she says, who will let us be held accountable? ”
