Chapter 14 On Paper
Jia Jingmin and Mrs. Jia stared at the tadpole-like text in front of Jia Song. While listening to Jia Song's explanation. Jia Song's methods of recording and calculation completely subvert their understanding of arithmetic.
And Jia Song looked excited, 17 years, in his studies, Jia Song went from dreaming of winning his sister once, to disappointment, to complete despair.
Who knew that today, after half a day of groping, I actually beat my sister to the ground in arithmetic! Jia Song's excited eyes were shining!
Maybe he was too excited, when Jia Song explained, some of the preamble did not match the afterword. After all, he has just learned, and he is learning and using it now.
Fortunately, Jia Jingmin is very smart, and in a few words, she asked the key, this kind of digital record is simple and fast, and can record, calculate, and merge together.
Seeing that this method was so wonderful, Jia Jingmin had great curiosity, and immediately picked up a charcoal pen, wrote and drew numbers, column calculations, column calculations, column vertical calculations.
Jia Jingmin's arithmetic attainments were originally much higher than Jia Song. Her understanding is also better than Jia Song.
came and went, and Jia Song's little things were taken away by Jia Jingmin. Jia Jingmin is, the more she learns, the more frightened she becomes, and the more she learns, the more excited she becomes. What's the new way to write a few numbers? This is clearly opening up a new world! A new world of arithmetic in a wider world.
Just as the three of them were happily studying Arabic numerals, Ruyi came to report that the shopkeeper Qi had returned from Wu's house and was waiting in the front yard.
Although the three of them were still unsatisfied, they had to get up and walk to the front hall. Jia Jingmin glanced at Jia Song, and then she believed it, just now Jia Song forgot to eat lunch to study arithmetic, not a disguise.
"Mrs. Jia, Miss Jia, Young Master Jia." The shopkeeper bent down slightly to salute. A smile appeared on his face and said: "There are two things, one is that the Wu family promised to owe two hundred taels of silk goods on credit, and they have already prepared the goods according to the list." It's just that Miss Jia is required to sign and draw in person. ”
Jia Song snorted heavily in his nose!
The shopkeeper Qi continued: "I contacted Hu Shang by the way, and said that it would be handed over tomorrow." So the best, early tomorrow morning, you can pick up the goods from Wu's house and pull them directly to Hu Shang to hand them over. If you turn around, you can return the money to the Wu family. Mrs. Jia, Miss Jia, Young Master Jia, what do you think? ”
Mrs. Jia smiled and nodded: "Tomorrow, there will be two handovers, and one transaction will be completed." That's the best! What else? ”
The shopkeeper handed over the post with both hands, and the list: "The head of the cloth line Wu will arrange the cloth guild the day after tomorrow, and ask me to bring back the list of posts by the way." It is said that it is to share the cost of floor stone, dozens of cloth merchants, each household is a hundred taels. ”
Jia Song stretched out his hand to take it, and shouted at a glance: "Do you really want to spread so much?" Isn't there any objection from the merchants? ”
"Jia Song, it will be clear from the guild the day after tomorrow! The shopkeeper of Qi just brought a letter back, and you asked him what he was doing? Mrs. Jia drank Jia Song, and said to the shopkeeper again: "It's hard work!" Since the shopkeeper came, the business of our cloth shop has been getting better and better, and it all depends on the hard work of the shopkeeper. ”
"Mrs. Jia doesn't have to be polite, this is a matter of the next part. If you want to trade tomorrow, you have to hurry up and deploy. The shopkeeper looked respectful.
Jia Jingmin said: "Fifty taels haven't been earned yet, and one hundred taels is about to go out!" Then I hurried to the quality warehouse, fortunately everything was counted. ”
Jia Jingmin took Ruyi back to the inner courtyard to pick up the jewelry box. Jia Song arranged for Uncle Zhou to lead the horse and set the car, and Mrs. Jia gently told the shopkeeper Qi......
Qin Feng had just taken a lunch break, and when he heard the chaos in the outer courtyard, he opened the door, leaned against the door, picked up his hands, and watched the people in the courtyard doing their own things.
The carriage was set, and Jia Jingmin also came out of the inner courtyard, and Ruyi followed closely behind with a suitcase.
Qin Feng only felt that as soon as his eyes lit up, his eyes fell on Miss Jia, from bottom to top, when he saw that bright and delicate face, those apricot eyes glared! Qin Feng hurriedly looked away, looked at the sky, looked at the earth......
Jia Jingmin felt a little proud in her heart, and said secretly: This villain, there is actually an arithmetic master as a teacher! Fortunately, he is still willing to teach this mastery to Jia Song, he does not hide his selfishness, and he can be regarded as a open-minded character?
No, they don't dare to look me in the eyes, they must have bad intentions in their hearts! Hum!
It wasn't until Jia Jingmin walked to the carriage and lifted her skirt and legs to get into the carriage that Qin Feng was relieved and bold and shot his gaze at Jia Jingmin's back. Miss Jia bent down to get into the car, her buttocks were exposed, and Qin Feng secretly swallowed and saliva......
The carriage slowly drove out of the courtyard, and Mrs. Jia nodded and smiled at Qin Feng, then turned around and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as Qin Feng raised his chin, Jia Song leaned over, and Qin Feng asked, "Where is your sister going?" ”
"Go to the pledge warehouse to mortgage the jewelry, and tomorrow there will be a deal with Hu Shang, and there is still a shortage of silver." Jia Song couldn't hold back the pride in his heart, and continued: "Sir, just now I used your arithmetic to win my sister!" ”
"Oh." Qin Feng suddenly nodded his head: "Is this a big deal?" ”
"It's not big, help Hu Shang buy five hundred taels of silver silk, we can earn one percent, 50 taels only."
"Help Hu Shang buy silk? They won't buy it themselves? Qin Feng asked casually.
Jia Song said with a smile: "Every time Hu Shang comes to purchase, there are many varieties, such as the four treasures of the study, silk cloth, porcelain craftsmanship, etc. If they purchase by themselves, they may not be proficient in their work, so it is better to entrust them to a merchant like us in different categories. The goods brought back by Hu Shang made a profit of several times, but they only overpaid us by one percent. Our big businessmen, who go to other places to buy goods, will also entrust local merchants to purchase in this way. ”
Qin Feng nodded: "I see." ”
Mr. can be literate and martial, and he is very dragged. Mr. Jia Song finally nodded frequently, and couldn't help but say: "However, no Hu merchants have found us before, and they all go to other merchants. Three months ago, our shopkeeper Hu had an accident, and he came home. The newly invited Qi shopkeeper is good at management, which attracted the business of Hu merchants. In the first two months, it was a hundred taels of small business, and this batch of silk was only five hundred taels, maybe it could be a thousand taels in the future, so it would be even better. ”
Qin Feng tilted his head, he had read a lot of online novels in his previous life, which described businessmen taking goods. Then he asked with a puzzled face: "Where did Hu Shang come from?" How many times in three months? Isn't it at least two or three months to make a round trip? ”
Jia Song said: "Hu merchants are everywhere, on the grassland, on the desert. They come and go, and it does take a long time. But the Hu businessmen who traded with us were stationed in Nanchang for a long time, like representatives. Hu businessmen came to Nanchang to buy and ship, the language was not clear, and the market was not familiar. Just ask these representatives to come forward and hand over our business. Every three or five days, Hu businessmen come to Nanchang, and we have one or two orders for a month or two, which is the least. ”
Qin Feng smiled: "I understand, if you are not Chinese, you are all Hu businessmen." The person who deals with you is the Hushang Office in Beijing. Ha ha. No, it's the Gangnam office. In this way, this is a good deal, although the profit is small, it is better than simple. Accumulate a lot, and you can still make a lot of money! ”
"I can't add it up!" Jia Song complained while taking out the post from his arms, the list: "Sir, please look, 50 taels have not been earned, so there is an expenditure of 100 taels." ”
Qin Feng glanced at it and asked, "Post?" Someone has a treat and wants your family to prepare a congratulatory gift? Look at your reluctance. ”
Jia Song smiled bitterly: "The congratulatory gift is okay, it will be a personal favor, and there will be a back and forth in the future." This post, there is in and out. Can't hide yet. ”
"Huh. Have such a domineering post? ”
"Look, sir, this is a guild post. said that it was to rebuild the ancestral hall for a big eunuch's family, and it was estimated that it would be 100,000 taels of silver. We have dozens of cloth shops to undertake the cost of floor stone, 10,000 taels. Spread down a hundred taels per household! This month, the cloth line has been done in vain! ”
Ancestral temple? Qin Feng was stunned, Wei Zhongxian? Finally able to meet a historical figure? When I took the post, I saw that it was the post of Zhang Xinghui's appointment, a list of the nuclear prices of Fujian Stone Company, and I didn't see the name and surname of the eunuch.
Qin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Which father-in-law is cultivating the ancestral hall for?" ”
"Ancestral Hall? It's not an ancestral hall. It is a family ancestral hall. Li Ying, Li Gonggong. In the early years, his parents fled, and Father-in-law Li was born in Nanchang. Later, a large family went to the capital to beg for a living, and he somehow entered the palace, and now he is the first person in the inner court of the court. Master Futai Shu wants to slap him! In the place where Gonggong Li was born, an ancestral hall should be erected for him! The Li family is now in Nanchang, and there are no relatives, so what's the use of repairing the ancestral hall? It's just bitter for us! One hundred taels! Jia Song lowered his voice and complained.
A trace of disappointment passed through Qin Feng's heart, and he completely broke off the idea of looking for history. turned to Jia Song and smiled bitterly: "Forced apportionment? ”
"Yes! Unless you don't do cloth anymore. Spending our silver is really extravagant, a stone paving the floor, it costs 10,000 taels! The two houses in my house are almost only five hundred taels. ”
A penny is worth a dollar. The Jia family apportioned one hundred taels this time, which was equal to one hundred thousand yuan in Qin Feng's previous life! No wonder Jia Song is extremely dissatisfied, this apportionment is a bit high.
Qin Feng comforted Jia Song and said: "This stone, pulled from Fujian, the price will naturally be higher." Thousands of years later, this ancestral hall may become a historical monument. There is a donation from your Jia family, and your children and grandchildren will be honored. ”
Jia Song said helplessly: "Mr. can see it, and he thinks about it thousands of years later." What I am not convinced is that in the selling price of this stone, there must be someone who has eaten oil and water! ”
Qin Feng smiled: "Hehe, so what? You can't go to Fujian to buy stones by yourself?! ”
Jia Song was a little embarrassed: "I'll just pay a hundred taels, and it's not worth it to go back and forth." ”
Qin Feng's heart moved, and he pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't it a total of ten thousand taels?" You give a 20% discount, collect 8,000 taels, and help the big guy pull the stones back from Fujian. ”
Jia Song scratched his head and said: "Although this stone is bought in Fujian, it is indeed at most two or three thousand taels of silver!" But with so many stones, it takes more than 100 cars to pull them back! I have to invite two or three hundred guys to go back and forth to Fujian for two months. It's going to be a loss, sir! ”
"That person is a stone shop, how can he not lose money if he pulls it over like this?"
Jia Song thought about it and said: "Maybe the stone shop is cooked, and the people and cars over there are cheaper?" My family hired Uncle Zhou, who brought a carriage for 6 taels a month. But I can rent a carriage that can go to Fujian, and I have to give at least 10 taels a month. Also, the guy of the cloth line 3 two months case. Follow me to Fujian to work hard, at least 6 taels. Counting the food on the road, it would be nice if I could be even. ”
Qin Feng held back his mouth: "The stones from Fujian can be sold two or three times as much as they are pulled here." So what about your goods here to be sold in Fujian? ”
Jia Song shook his head: "If you can pull 8,000 taels of cloth over, you can sell it for more than 20,000 taels!" But Mr. Qin, one must have a large capital to do business, and the other must have strength! Along the way, there are mountain bandits and robbers everywhere! We're going to be robbed. ”
"You just said that it can be sold for 20,000 taels, please guard!"
"Sir, I'll give you a rough calculation. 20,000 taels, excluding the cost of those people and horses just now, the cost of buying stones is two or three thousand taels. There are ten thousand taels left. The guy who contributes is at least 6 taels per month. The desperate guard, according to the price of the nursing home, about thirty or forty months, two months back and forth, seventy or eighty taels. There are a lot of bandits on this road, and there are fewer guards. I asked for more than a hundred guards, but the money was still flat, and it was still dangerous. Jia Song shook his head and waved his hand: "I can't do it." ”
Qin Feng snorted: "Who wants you to buy stones back?" I went to Fujian to sell cloth, got 20,000 yuan in silver, bought other local goods in Fujian, and pulled them back to sell! How much does 20,000 change? Fifty thousand? Sixty thousand? You can ask for 200 guards, is that enough? Simply 300 pcs. You calculated it yourself, 10,000 taels of silver for the groom, and more than 20,000 taels of silver for the guard. Didn't you still earn about 20,000 yuan? ”
"What about the stone?"
Qin Feng pointed to the list: "Isn't this stone list selling for 10,000?" It's good that you make 10,000 taels. ”
Jia Song was stunned: "Yes! Everyone knows that trafficking is highly profitable, but it suffers from a lack of capital and no strength! If I have 8,000 taels here, can I get a guard, don't I have both? Sir has a point! ”
Qin Feng smiled proudly: "It's too easy for me to make money!" My trouble, sir, is how can I keep my fortune when I have earned a great fortune! Jia Song, be obedient in the future, if Mr. is satisfied with you, he will take you to make a lot of money! Let you donate a showman, I will donate a lifter, and then let you donate a lifter! Ha ha! Isn't it beautiful? ”
Jia Song smiled: "Yes, sir, I must say good things about you in front of my sister!" ”
"Huh?! Go, go, do your thing. ”
