Chapter 7 Turning Decay into Magic
Lu Zifei already had a plan in his heart, these things were all in his expectation, everything was well thought out, first of all, he had to be rich, his family was in Chang'an, that is, a middle peasant class, studying, studying, apprenticeship, going to the door, the relationship all need money, you can do business, you can't get ahead, the Cao family can be pulled in, there is the Cao family in front, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, the sky is falling, there are tall people and tops, after completing military service, you have to study hard, eighteen years old is not young, In this era of early marriage, many eighteen-year-old sons can play soy sauce.
After a few days of peace, in the morning Lu Zifei made an egg sandwich bun and ate it, I heard that this place is very close to Kongtong Mountain, I want to go and see, but before I leave, Wang Chao came to tell him that someone was looking for him.
"Below is the general of Cao's commanding envoy, and the master ordered me to send things to Gongzi as agreed." After speaking, he handed himself a pile of thick paper, and Lu Zifei was happy to see it in his hand, this is Jiaozi! It's much more convenient to have this thing, an adult goes out with a maximum of a few pieces of money, and if you think about what the concept of 50,000 yuan is, it's piled up. Jiaozi solves this problem, convenient, fast, look at the denomination of one thousand taels, a full fifty, the first step of the start-up capital is in place, and the rest is easier to operate. "Please tell Commander Cao on my behalf that these 50,000 guan will be counted as the Cao family's shares, accounting for 10% of the shares of the firm, and he will be proud of the decision he made today in a few years."
Salt, tea, sugar, these three are profiteering industries, the umbrella has also been found, Xixia is the origin of green salt, the poor of Liao are left with cattle and sheep, make so much money, the interests are the king, people who eat alone will be stripped to death, the strength must be controlled, cowhide, sheepskin sold to the government, this is military materials, the government has political achievements, tasted the sweetness, want to turn back, difficult.
Lu Zifei gently pushed Wang Chao, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you." ”
Wang Chao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and under the excitement, the Shaanxi accent came out again, "Baby, how much is this." ”
Lu Zifei joked with Wang Chao: "Uncle Wang, guess how much there is." ”
For Wang Chao, who has seen the largest face value of one hundred taels in his life, such a thick silver ticket is simply his lifelong dream, and he will wake up laughing when he falls asleep, he said cautiously "Five thousand taels" Lu Zifei shook his head, Wang Chao continued to guess that "ten thousand taels" Lu Zifei was disappointed, have you ever seen money? "This is 50,000 taels, our principal is available, let's call a few other uncles to come in." Wang Chao didn't know how he got out, anyway, he was still sleepwalking when he came in with the others, fifty thousand taels! In the countryside, a person who can feed his whole family for 100 yuan a day, 50,000 taels of silver can make him eat big fish and meat every day, and he can't eat it for several lifetimes, and what kind of business is he still doing.
Everyone sat down in turn, and Lu Zifei said: "Today's first fund has been in place, and the plan we discussed can be implemented, this is 45,000 taels of silver tickets, Uncle Wang will take this money to Chang'an first to find a bigger place for everyone to stay, prepare the things we need in the early stage, I will go home and then we will start to act." ”
Wang Chao, as the other leader, said, "Zifei, I feel that this is unfair to you, although all of you here are your fathers and fellow villagers, and we haven't paid a penny yet, but we deserve it if you do this, we are also your elders, we will not take advantage of this kind of advantage, even if we don't make this money." "Brother Wang is right, no matter what you do, it is best to be worthy of your heart."
Or the people at this time are sincere, there are so many flowers and intestines in the future, it seems that they have to eliminate the guilt in their hearts, Lu Zifei thought about it and said: "Then I will distribute it like this, everyone will see if it will work, today I promised to give the Cao family a share, the first money is taken out by me, then subtract one percent from your three percent to the Cao family, as for the principal, it will be deducted from the profits in the future year by year, so it's always okay, right?" ”
Wang Chao thought about it for a while, this is much better, it is a good way to get the best of both worlds, and said to everyone, "It is indeed a Xiucai who has read books, and his brain is better than ours, I agreed to this plan for everyone, and what do you say next." ”
After the distribution of interests is completed, the rules and regulations should be explained clearly, get up and sit at the top, and said in a deep voice: "You are all my elders, but there are no rules, I will emphasize two points first, the first: individuals are not allowed to embezzle money in the firm without permission, once found, directly kicked out, the second: it is not allowed to leak the information of the firm to others, who violates the second article, will be the enemy of everyone, the whole firm will be punished, Uncle Wang, how many people you contacted a few days ago are willing to join us." ”
Wang Chao opened his mouth without thinking, "There are two hundred and thirty-five people, all of whom are our own people, and there is no outsider." ”
It's still a little little, Lu Zifei thought to himself, but it's okay, his own people can use it at ease, and then he said to Wang Chao, "Uncle Wang, pick out a hundred veterans who have been on the battlefield, their training can't stop, and all the expenses will be calculated from this money from now on." ”
"Is this necessary? Zifei"
Lu Zifei smiled and said to Wang Chao, "Uncle Wang feels that the advantages of our people are there, and the place where we are stronger than others is that we have been on the battlefield and been soldiers, which others do not have, so Uncle Wang, do you understand?" ”
"Zifei, although you are in the barracks, you don't know that the cost of soldiers' training is a bottomless pit, this is a heavy burden, you have to think about it." Wang Chao still felt that Lu Zifei was doing more.
In this era without any security measures, not having a little strength of oneself to do business is purely looking for death, and the narrowness of thinking is still revealed, Lu Zifei said in a tone that cannot be refused: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I think very clearly, in the future, you will know the benefits of my doing this, for the time being, there will be a hundred people, and maybe it will increase in the future." ”
Wang Chao saw that Lu Zifei was so resolute, so he stopped persuading and said, "Then let's start there." ”
It's time to show a little real ability, let you see the power of science and technology in the future, take everyone to the backyard, the tools are ready-made, and say to the people behind you: "Today I will teach a few uncles a few skills of our business firm to settle down, Huzi, go and bring the few pieces of cloth and burnt coke that we prepared in advance." ”
Lu Zifei casually grabbed a handful of salt commonly used by most people and the salt that he ate separately for everyone to see, these people all know that Xiucai usually likes to do some strange things, but it is the first time I have seen such white salt, and I think that the emperor's salt is not so white, right? I don't know what Xiucai is going to teach them, if they have this kind of ability, they can't even think about it.
What Lu Zifei wanted was this shocking effect, and said to them, "Uncles are not wrong, what I want to teach you today is how to turn salt and sugar into my hands, and it is also the main project we will operate in the future, it is related to our hundreds of families, thousands of people, I don't want anyone to leak this secret." ”
Wang Chao said with a hideous face at this time: "I swear here today that if anyone dares to leak this secret or reveal it to others, I will spend my whole life to let his whole family go to hell." "In ancient times, the inheritance of craftsmen was very important, and the selection of apprentices was even stricter, not everyone had this opportunity, let alone this great craft that blessed future generations, Wang Chao had seen the most prosperous city in the world at this time, the most beautiful night, the most beautiful beauty, the best wine, the best food, today he saw the source of hope, and he would never allow anyone to destroy it, because he still wanted to return to the city where you have money and you can have everything.
Lu Zifei saw that Wang Chao said so seriously and exaggeratedly, and said to him, "Uncle Wang doesn't need to be like this, everyone is a fellow villager, I believe in everyone." ”
"Xiucai, what are you doing here? Do you have food to eat? The braised pork, braised pork ears, and oily noodles I have eaten in the past few days will each get me a portion, and I will wait for the change of guard in the morning to come to you for a good meal, and the millet wine you secretly brewed will also have a little. After Li Lin finished speaking, he found that the people around him were looking at him with unkind eyes, and he looked up and down, nothing happened!" Hey, what's wrong with you, it's not the first time you've seen me, why are you looking at me like that? ”
Lu Zifei motioned for him to come to his side and said to him, "Let you witness the miracle today, don't speak, just watch." "Huzi, pour all that coarse salt into the pot and stir it with the wooden stick in your hand." Everyone is curious, the movements are surprisingly consistent, stretching their necks to watch the movements of the tiger, so that refined salt can be made? Until the coarse salt particles could not be seen in the pot and the water became turbid, Lu Zifei asked Huzi to stop, put charcoal in another pot, spread four layers of coarse gauze on the pot, and the holes in the cloth changed down in turn from top to bottom, and then let two people pour the boiled coarse salt into it, this process Lu Zifei kept repeating five times, and the water in the pot could not see a trace of impurities, so he himself stopped, and said to the bored Huzi that the fire began to burn.
Li Lin looked at Lu Zifei with a questioning face, you owe me an explanation, I am here to eat, not for you to be a coolie, you can still change flowers, in just a few days, Lu Zifei and he are about to wear a pair of pants, mainly because he can't resist the temptation of food, Lu Zifei gave him a slightly calmer look, at this time, everyone felt that time passed so slowly, and the fire burned by Huzi was much smaller than usual.
"It's out, it's really out, it's really the ability to turn decay into magic." Wang Chao shouted excitedly, he buttoned the white on the edge of the pot with his fingernails, put it in his mouth, tasted it and said, "It is indeed good salt, there is no trace of bitterness and astringency in the mouth, it is better than the refined salt in Kaifeng City, we are sending it!" ”
Li Lin was not calm, "You are doing illegal salt, this is a crime." ”
Lu Zifei covered his mouth and said, "Isn't this good food for you, what are you yelling for, you didn't see that their eyes were red, you don't want to die." ”
