Chapter 215: Thinking about money and panicking
Liao Liao a few stars hung in the sky, emitting a faint light, these days are a few rare good weather since the beginning of winter, in the Niulanshan camp, at this time, in addition to the air death wind lamp above the sentry tower, it also fell into darkness, the whole camp was silent, which made the footsteps of the patrol soldiers appear particularly clear.
The guests invited by Gao Yuan had already fallen asleep at this moment, and in the evening feast, these people were toasted by Sun Xiao and his group of soldiers, and after a few rounds, they were already drunk and unconscious, even Zheng Jun was no exception, and at this time they were placed in the guest room specially prepared for these people and fell asleep soundly.
But in Gao Yuan's residence, the lights are still on, in the room, the white charcoal fire is burning vigorously, there is a low table next to the fire, a few plates of fried wild vegetables are verdant, the copper pot is full of warm and fragrant wine, Gao Yuan and Wu Kai are sitting cross-legged on two felt blankets, and they are drinking each other.
In the evening, the two of them drank a lot of wine, but the soldiers did not have the courage to pour them on, at this time, although the two of them were full of red, and the wine had already reached seven or eight points, but their eyes were still extremely bright.
The chopsticks gently tapped the porcelain plate, and Wu Kai smiled; "It's still easy to eat these things, those big fish and big meat during the day, they are tired of it when they look at it, and they can't eat it, but I can't imagine that you still have such private goods."
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Old Wu, this is everyone who has their own words, for example, these thousands of soldiers outside, you take this for them to eat, and it is strange if you don't scold your ancestors for eighteen generations behind your back. I've heard a saying. It's a reflection of your mood at this time! "
"What words? Wu Kai asked.
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Gao Yuan put down his chopsticks and reached out to lift the wine jug. Give Wu Kai a full face.
"How can it be so serious? Wu Kai smiled: "I'm not as miserable as you say."
"I'm just talking about a phenomenon, like you Lao Wu, you are tired of eating big fish and meat, and you can only eat with vegetables and stir-fried vegetables, not to mention the world, just in my big camp, I don't know how many people are looking forward to eating big fish and meat every day! Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Wu Kai laughed. "Your army is probably the best in the world, right? When will they be less meaty? "
"It's barely holding on. But after a long time, something is not good! Gao Yuan shook his head. "The cost of military salaries for these thousands of people is a large amount, and the cost of raising such an army is really terrifying, and I only understand it now. The dignified Liaoxi County Taishou Zhang had only a standing army of thousands under his command. We are a huge country, and the standing army is less than 100,000 people, so we really can't afford to raise it, I used to think too simply."
"So you take the gentry of the two counties to do business together and make money by doing it? Wu Kaidao.
"Open source and reduce expenditure, the most important thing is open source, you have to think of ways to make money! In the army, there is some money that cannot be saved. Although Fuhai Trading was established. But in the short term, I'm afraid there will only be investment. I can't get the money." Gao Yuan sighed, "As soon as I open my eyes now, I think about how much money I have to spend today, how much money I have earned today, no matter how I calculate it, I can't make ends meet!" "
Wu Kai put a pair of chopsticks of wild vegetables in his mouth, chewed carefully, and looked at Gao Yuan while chewing, "Why did I suddenly find that these dishes of wild vegetables don't seem to be easy to digest?" "
Gao Yuanda laughed, "Those who know me, Lao Wu, Lao Wu, can you leak something between your fingers?" "
"Are you looking to increase your stake? Wu Kai put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and looked at Gao Yuan thoughtfully.
Gao Yuan smiled without saying a word, turned his head and picked up the tongs, and threw a few pieces of white charcoal into the fire. Staring at the faint green light, "It's hard to speak!" "
"It's hard to speak! You've already said it! Wu Kai smiled and said, "Twenty percent, this is the most, you also know that Zhang Shou accounted for about twenty percent, Lu Hong originally accounted for half of it with you, and now it is increased to two percent for you, and the shares outside are already forty percent or five, I still have to prepare for the development of Quandayan in the future, and prepare a little for some big people in Jicheng, I don't have much."
"Lao Wu, you are refreshing, I am not afraid to be honest with you, maybe in the future, your wine will be pushed to Quan Dayan, and you will no longer need to pay shares to some big people."
"What can you do? Wu Kai was very interested.
"It's not that I have a way, because in a few years, I may be in Jicheng." Gao Yuan punched the table hard, shaking the bowls and plates.
Wu Kai was taken aback, "Gao Yuan, I value you, and I am willing to invest in you, that is, I value your stability and talent, you can't be too aggressive, how old are you, less than twenty, how strong do you have, can you confront those who sit on a large territory and hold state power in their hands?" Don't kill yourself."
Gao Yuan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and slammed the cup on the table, "Old Wu, Jing'er said when she left, when she has long hair and waist, she wants me to marry her, how can I make her wait so long, youth is fleeting, Shaohua is difficult to return, I won't let her wait for a long time. But don't worry, I'm still measured."
Wu Kai shook his head, "You're like this, I'm worried!" "
Gao Yuan nodded, "I'll do it, you see, watch and say!" I won't let you down, let alone let your money go down the drain, Lao Wu, I was only going to ask you for one percent of the shares, you were generous and gave me two percent, then I have to give you something in return."
"The return is not in a hurry, what I value is your future, if Lu Hong's old guy is to death, I will give him half of it." Wu Kai said with a smile: "Don't bully the old and the young, especially a promising guy like you, I am much better at doing business than being an official, and I have always been very accurate in looking at people."
"Don't you want a chance to get rich? Gao Yuan asked with a smile: "I can tell you a kind of thing that no one will produce now, if you really make it, it is definitely the only one, there is no semicolon!" "
Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Wu Kai's eyes slowly widened, "Boy, don't coax me, how can there be such a thing?" "
"Naturally, there is," Gao Yuan said slowly.
"What, what? Across the table, Wu Kai grabbed Gao Yuan's hand a little out of shape, shaking constantly, and his sleeves hung down into the vegetable soup on the table without realizing it.
"Lao Wu, you are already making money every day, and you can't use up the money in your next life, so you don't have to look embarrassed like this, right? Gao Yuan slowly withdrew his hand and teased.
"Don't whet my appetite, boy, if there is such a thing, what does it mean? That means a bigger profit than selling wine, and it doesn't have to pay too much because no one is competing with you, right? Wu Kai monkey anxiously said.
He was anxious, but Gao Yuan was not in a hurry, looked at Wu Kai, and said with a smile: "Old Wu, I went to your house a few days ago, and you called your little concubine to toast me, and your little concubine smells so fragrant!" "
Wu Kai looked at Gao Yuan in amazement, and then said after a while: "Boy, what do you want to do?" You want a little star, yes, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, you want it, take it. Hey, no, you're not such a person, if you were a good woman, you wouldn't let go of He Lanyan, Helan Yan is much stronger than my little star."
Gao Yuan didn't expect Wu Kai to actually think of this, and he was stunned for a while, only then did he think that in this era, the concubine can really be given away at will. With a wry smile: "My old Wu, I don't mean your little concubine, I mean the incense on your little concubine."
"Can it be fragrant, it takes several hours to get that sachet every day, the red sandalwood and ambergris in the house, I don't know how much it cost me to go, and the grape shelves in the backyard are about to fall." Wu Kai shook his head and said.
"I know that there is a way that allows you to make a variety of scented liquids in large quantities, and your little concubine won't have to waste so much time in the future, if you want to make yourself fragrant, just drop two drops on your body." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "I call him perfume."
Wu Kai was stunned for a long time, and said with some disappointment: "It turned out to be something for women, how much can it be sold and how much can it be earned?" "
"Of course, it won't sell too much, because this thing is supposed to be sold so that ordinary people can't afford it, you'd better drink it, ordinary people save a province, grit their teeth, and you can still buy two or three catties to treat yourself during the New Year, but this thing, ordinary people, even if they work hard for a year, can't afford it without eating or drinking." Gao Yuan smiled: "This was originally for those rich women.Lao Wu, it sells for less, but it can't stand its price!" How many nobles there are in Dayan, how many ladies there are in these noble families, and those big businessmen who are not nobles, this base is not small, I believe that as long as this thing spreads, the profit will not be less than your wine."
"Really? Wu Kai asked in surprise.
"Of course." Gao Yuan said confidently.
"And how much does it cost to make this thing? I'm afraid it's not cheap, you need something as precious as ambergris as a raw material, right? Wu Kai asked.
"No, you have a lot of raw materials for making this perfume! "Gao Yuandao.
"I have a lot of people in my house, what is it, why don't I know the way? "
"If you know the truth, then it won't be my turn to remind you! Gao Yuanda smiled and said, "Old Wu, what is the most in your family?" "
"Wine, of course! Wu Kai opened his mouth and came, and suddenly froze, "Wine, is it wine!" "
"It's wine, but it's not the wine you have at home now, and you have to continue to purify it! Gao Yuan said, "Take out the strongest liquor in your house, and after purifying it, you can use it as a raw material for this perfume."
"Why didn't you say it before? Wu Kai's eyes turned red, "If you had said it earlier, we would have figured it out a long time ago."
"Lao Wu, don't worry, I really didn't think of this thing before, this is also a panic because I wanted money, so I suddenly remembered this thing, and I only know a general method, specifically, you have to explore it yourself."
"No problem, no problem, as long as there is a rough way, I can find the best way." (To be continued......)
