Chapter 61: Opening a Rice Shop
But if you really want to run the academy, it is not an easy thing, Jian Yun only thought about it for a while, and then felt that he was going to give up.
In the past few days of living in the village, Jian Yun has already packed up all the things that should be packed at home.
Since she moved to the town to live, Jian Xiaoyi can go home from time to time to live, and in the past few days, she has packed some vegetables and other things at home and prepared to take them to the town.
"Village chief, my current idea is to do a good job in farming, and after doing a good job in farming, I will think about other things, after all, food is the foundation of a country. Jian Yun raised his head and looked at the village chief seriously.
Seeing Jian Yun like this, the village chief was very pleased: "I said at the beginning that I didn't look at the wrong person, right? Even if you are developed, you can not forget your roots, know what you want and what you want to do." ”
Jian Yun was a little embarrassed by what the village chief said, she blushed slightly and looked at the village chief with a smile and said, "I'm just opportunistic, with my skills, how dare I get an axe in front of all the seniors?"
After returning to her home, Jian Yun carefully summed it up, food is a major focus of the country, if she can grasp this point well, then she will be able to gain a firm foothold in ancient times, and another thought emerged in Jian Yun's heart after thinking of this.
It happened that the imperial court had sent money over in the past few days, and Jian Yun took the money and set up a small shop in the town.
"Mother, are we doing this well, don't we farm, why do we still open a shop?" When Jian Xiaoyi saw this small shop, he looked up at Jian Yun with some puzzlement and asked.
The purpose of opening this shop is to be able to sell grain and vegetables, Jian Yun summed it up, according to the current productivity of the village, every household will have surplus grain, but if these surplus grains are left for too long, they will be easy to spoil, like grain, it is fine, vegetables are not released at all, so the maximum use of it is to sell it.
Just like if Jian Yun carried it to the town to sell it before, it was laborious, and he might not be able to sell them all, and he didn't want to pick them up if he couldn't sell them every day, so he could only sell them to others at a low price.
Jian Yun wanted to take all the grains and vegetables in the village that he hadn't eaten and couldn't put away to sell in this small shop.
After taking down the shop, Jian Yun immediately went back to the village to discuss with the village chief.
"This is a very good idea, but we used to exchange grain for other goods, so wouldn't it be a bit troublesome?" They are probably used to exchanging grain for goods, and they have to change for a while, and they really can't adapt to it.
Jian Yun calculated an account for the village chief: "If we directly exchange grain and vegetables for other items, then we will be passive in terms of price, and we may not be able to exchange them for the items we like, but if we exchange them directly for money, we can save them if we want, and we can exchange them for other things if we want." ”
It sounds like this, and it really sounds like Jian Yun's way is more cost-effective.
The village chief looked up at Jian Yun gratefully: "When you told me that you wanted to develop the economy in the village, I didn't believe you, but I didn't expect that it had only been a long time before it was you who made a qualitative leap forward in the entire village." ”
When the village chief agreed, he immediately held a meeting in the village to ask the families what they thought about the matter.
When they heard that food could be exchanged for money and stored at home, how could anyone in the village disagree.
If it can be directly exchanged for money, it is also much more convenient for them, but usually they carry grain on their backs to sell, and they always can't buy the right price, and now that they have a channel, how can they not be happy?
"But I also have a request, that is, if the aunts and uncles of each family can trust me, they will bring all the things to me to sell, and I can give you a suitable price, but the things you give me must be good, and you must not use inferior grains and vegetables to make up the amount. Jian Yun said it early in the morning.
Naturally, there are many people in other villages who sell things, and if she wants to make a steady profit here, then she must make a reputation, and the most important thing is to have excellent quality.
And Jian Yun has also thought about it, she is now building a canal with Kang Jingxing, and she has a good relationship with the prefect, if she can use this relationship, it will be better if she can give her food to the yamen, or the prefect.
Everyone knew that Jian Yun had his own sales channels, so they went home and brought a lot of good food here.
After seeing the grains that were packed in cloth bags and put here, Jian Yun checked them one by one, and they were all good.
But she couldn't send so many things to the town alone, so the village chief summed it up, and the villagers in the village volunteered to move Jian Yun's things to the town.
"I still need some people here to help me make a publicity, I wonder if anyone is willing to help?" After packing up the food, Jian Yun looked at the other women in the village and asked.
When it comes to literacy, most of these women don't know how to read, but when it comes to being able to speak, Jian Yun still trusts these people in the village very much.
Besides, she will also give them corresponding remuneration, these women who originally had no income at home and lived a very passive life, how could they not be happy after hearing this, even if they couldn't speak, they squeezed their heads and wanted to give it a try.
Sure enough, on the first day of opening, business in Jian Yun's small shop was very prosperous, and most people in this town were not short of money, and they could buy good food, so how could they not be happy.
And the price of Jianyun is not very high compared to other stores, which is the most reassuring thing about high quality.
Kang Jingxing didn't know when he appeared at the door of Jian Yun's store, he clasped his hands and looked at Jian Yun opposite with a smile.
"Why is Master Kang here?, don't you have anything to do today?" Jian Yun looked at Kang Jingxing with some surprise and asked.
At the beginning of the canal work, Kang Jingxing should be very busy, how can he still have the leisure to come to her?
"I heard the prefect say that you opened a small grain store, I was curious, I thought about it anyway, I was bored to see what else you could come up with, but I didn't expect that before the people arrived, I saw that you were overcrowded, and it seems that I underestimated you. Kang Jingxing looked at Jian Yun with admiration and said.
Unexpectedly, she opened a store and even the prefect knew about it, Jian Yun was a little embarrassed.
