Chapter 260: Stars
The rain this year was very good, the autumn tea yield was high, the quality was good, a large number of tea from the southwest region was sold abroad after simple processing, and the rest was fermented to make black tea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The three departments occupy the first place in the tea market and have a far-reaching reputation, and the development of the salt industry has also been further promoted by this influence.
The person at the table looked at the processed bill on the table, and he hadn't moved for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yue'er stood at the table and waited for a long time, and couldn't help but sneak a look at her expression.
There is no expression.
She couldn't help but cough and repeated, "This quarter, the total sales everywhere quadrupled......"
Quadrupling in a quarter, this is a miracle that no one has ever created, even if money is nothing to her, as the creator of this miracle, there should always be a sense of accomplishment, right?
Even if he has a bad temper like a young master, he will be very proud when he sees that his efforts have borne fruit, but the person in front of him is as if nothing has happened, and even ...... It doesn't seem to be in a good mood.
She sighed inwardly, and then saw the man write a few numbers on the paper and hand them over.
Yue'er glanced at it twice, and this time the number was a bit big, so she didn't react for a while.
Han Yu glanced at her, picked up the pen and circled the first number, "This, understand?"
This figure is half of the profit, and it should be stored in the name of the Jiang family, this is the old rule. She nodded, reflexing.
The slender pen then drew the following numbers and wrote down two words: "Imperial Court." ”
Yue'er looked at the numbers. frowned, over the years, how much has the profits of the three departments risen, and how much the imperial court's pockets have also risen, this person really doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, and he doesn't know how to hide his private interests at all, and he has to donate a large part of the silver to the imperial court every year.
Draw another circle. "Silver. ”
This was the reward given to the brothers, and part of it was given to the brothers who had been there two years earlier.
Yue'er couldn't help but remind: "In fact, the brothers' monthly income is already very high in the industry. ”
The implication is that it doesn't have to go up anymore.
She smiled and didn't speak.
Yue'er simply continued: "Just because the three departments have a lot of monthly money. Now the people who want to enter the third department are crowded and bleeding, and the people in charge of recruitment are also very tired. ”
This was somewhat exaggerated, but the person at the table did not make a sound, she frowned and thought for a while: "Then what about the private school I said?"
Yue'er was stunned. He replied, "Already according to your statement." A lot of people signed up. ”
She nodded, "Are you screening people according to what I said?"
"Yes. ”
This private school is specially set up for the children of poor families, recruiting some children under the age of ten, including food and lodging, monthly pocket money, teaching some poetry and etiquette, as well as business techniques, and the children will stay in the three departments when they grow up. This initiative has given the children of poor families a way to live, and secondly, it has cultivated talents who know the roots for the third department. It's a win-win-win
When she said this, the implication was to leave the opportunity to the poor children as much as possible, and Yue'er understood.
She nodded, and drew another number, "Schoolhouse." ”
The condition of the school building is already very good, at least many times better than her own hut in the back mountain, Yue'er said secretly in her heart.
The slender brush drew the last circle on the paper, and Yue'er craned her neck to see what she had written.
The hand holding the pen stopped, and her gaze fell on a corner of the courtyard outside the window.
Yue'er followed and saw that there was nothing, and she suddenly turned her head to look at her, "I heard that many people have entered the tea industry recently?"
Yue'er was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yes, but they are all small workshops, seeing the huge profits of the tea industry, and want to get a piece of the pie, you can rest assured, not everyone will know the fermentation process, these manufacturers can not become a big climate, and they will not create any threat." ”
Hanyu nodded, didn't speak, and gently turned her slender wrist to draw the last circle. "Support. ”
Yue'er looked at these two beautiful words and didn't understand.
She looked up and explained to her, "The money is used to support the start of the tea shop. ”
Yue'er was stunned for two seconds, and then asked rhetorically, "Why?"
It's businessmen who don't want their competitors to be too strong, and they want to destroy them in the cradle, but why do they do the opposite?
Hanyu put the pen on the pen holder and said softly: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." ”
Yue'er froze, and couldn't help chewing these words between her mouths.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
So I don't want to be too ostentatious, everyone earns money together, everyone spends money together, and I don't want to be a big family?
Her business philosophy is the same as that of her person, advocating low-key, and instead trying to hide her dazzling shine.
This is the biggest difference between her and the young master, perhaps it is precisely because of this concept that the three departments have gone wider and wider in the business world over the years, making business friends and never making enemies.
Yue'er thought for a while, nodded and replied, "Got it." ”
The man at the table nodded, his eyes returning to a certain point in the courtyard.
"The busiest period of the year is over, isn't it?"
"Yes," Yue'er replied, "the autumn tea has been purchased, the inventory is stable, and the salt has been smooth sailing, and the task will not be heavy until next year's spring tea is ripe." ”
"En," she stretched out her fist and rubbed it against her forehead, revealing a hint of exhaustion, "If I'm not there, can you and Song Kai handle it?"
Yue'er was stunned, "You're not here?"
She put down her hand and breathed a sigh of relief, her tiredness became more and more obvious, and she didn't answer and asked, "Song Kai went to Nanzhao, what's wrong?"
Yue'er replied: "It's not far from Nanzhao, I should be back." ”
The person at the table seemed a little irritable, and she held the teacup in her hand and turned it around twice.
"I'm going to Nanzhao. ”
"Nanzhao?" Yue'er was stunned, "It's just a barbarian land." The economy is very backward, what are you going to do there?"
She still turned the teacup in her hand and whispered a word. "I heard that the stars are very bright there. ”
Yue'er was stunned on the spot, what does this mean? Did she hear it wrong? Or did this person who only bury his head in work all day want to go to Nanzhao...... Looking at the stars?
She was just about to ask what was going on, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard.
The two listened attentively, it was Song Kai who came back.
Song Kai strode in, his face was heavy, and he was dusty. Apparently just returned.
Song Kai saw that the two of them were there, and he didn't care about asking anything, so he arched his hand and said, "My subordinate has just returned from Nanzhao." I hereby warn that there is too much rain this year, the terrain of Nanzhao is dangerous, and there are many flash floods. The Jinsha River burst its banks. Many villages and fields in Nanzhao have been inundated, and the flood has not receded for a long time, and the people of Nanzhao are now trapped in the mountains, without food, and many people have died. ”
Song Kai finished saying this in one breath, and when he looked at it again, the people at the table looked at him in rare surprise.
"You said there was a flood in Nanzhao?"
"Yes. ”
"Flood...... Flash floods ......"
She muttered to herself, and suddenly remembered an avalanche in some icy snow.
Her gaze was a little glazed. After staying for a long time, he said something irrelevant.
"Are there stars in the sky of Nanzhao?"
Song Kai was stunned. Looking at Yue'er suspiciously, Yue'er shook his head and said he didn't understand, so he had to nod and say truthfully: "I just went there that day, but then the weather was bad and I couldn't see it." ”
"Really?" her gaze fell into the distance, as if she had seen the sky of Nanzhao through thousands of mountains and rivers, "You saw it?"
"Yes. Song Kai replied.
"How?" her tone became gentle.
"Many," Song Kai couldn't help but add, "It's all over the sky." ”
"Really?" she asked, turning her head to him.
He nodded heavily and affirmed, "Lots and bright." ”
Her eyes lit up for a moment, full of brilliance but died in the next second.
"You can't see it until it's clear, right?"
"Yes. ”
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but suddenly stopped again.
"Go and rest. ”
The two were puzzled, looked at each other suspiciously, and had to say, "Yes." ”
"Tell me about Nanzhao's situation again. She added.
"Yes. Song Kai said.
The two came out side by side, Yue'er couldn't help it first, and said, "What did she say when she asked you to go to Nanzhao?"
"It is said that Nanzhao has a kind of tea that is very famous, she saw it in a book and wanted me to see it, who would have thought that ......," Song Kai replied.
Yue'er said suspiciously: "It's strange, she actually wants to go to Nanzhao." ”
Song Kai thought for a moment and replied, "It's not strange, maybe she wants to go and see for herself." ”
Yue'er said, "But she even mentioned the stars twice. ”
"Twice?"
"Yes," Yue'er replied, "Before you came in, she said she wanted to go to Nanzhao, and I asked her why, and she said that the stars there were very bright......"
Song Kai thought for a while and replied: "It's a little strange for you to say this, originally I thought that this time the Nanzhao flood would make a donation, but I didn't expect to say nothing this time." ”
Yue'er nodded, "In those few times when there was a famine in other places, I would donate." ”
Song Kai nodded, thought for a while, and said: "But this time the donation is useless, what is lacking in the local area is food, and you can't buy food if you have money." ”
Yue'er came to her senses, remembered something, and said without complaints: "She really doesn't take silver seriously." ”
"How?"
Yue'er took out the piece of paper and handed it to him, "Look at it, so much silver is gone in the blink of an eye." ”
Song Kai took the paper and looked at it one by one.
Yue'er waited for a while, but didn't wait for any reaction, so she said: "You see, one-tenth of the income of this quarter has been given to the imperial court...... The imperial court was not short of money. ”
Song Kai smiled, folded the paper and handed it back to her, "She has her reasoning, the imperial court has been openly and secretly protecting the three departments in the past few years, otherwise we would not have been so smooth sailing in the past few years." Such shelter may be because of her identity, or maybe because of that person, no matter what, she doesn't say it with her mouth, but she understands it in her heart. She doesn't want to owe others favors, so she does it. ”
Yue'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems right to say that." (To be continued.) )
