Faced with Yuan Shu's unreasonable request for ninety percent of the benefits, Zhang did not feel angry at all, and immediately nodded calmly and agreed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, this woman is amazing!

The Zhang family naturally knows what it is to be protected and supported by the government of a state, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Zhang family is willing to give more than half of the family business in exchange for this.

After the Zhen family became an official businessman, if nothing else, at least it would not be taken away by others.

You know, the merchants of this era are fat meat that everyone wants to take two bites and basically has no ability to resist.

Any small family can take advantage of it.

The Zhen family has achieved such a big thing, and it has countless materials and channels, but it still has no ability to resist.

The things lost every year are converted into money, which is close to 30% of the Zhen family's profits.

Yuan Shu is willing to tie the interests of the Zhen family to the interests of the government, which is simply a great thing.

It's like if you are a little rich man, and the richest man in the country comes to you to talk about cooperation, he covers you and takes you to make money together, but he wants to collect 90% of your benefits.

Nine out of ten people would not refuse such a good deed.

This is the rhythm of the transformation of a small private enterprise into a large enterprise.

Yuan Shu naturally knew that the Zhen family would not refuse his conditions, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily and not bargain.

Seeing that the other party knew each other so well, Yuan Shu naturally no longer kept it.

"Since Madame agreed so decisively, then I will talk to Madame about a few business first."

"Oh? General, please speak. ”

Zhang's eyes lit up, and the meat scene came.

"I have skilled craftsmen under my command to produce these things, and I can let the Zhen family sell them on my behalf."

Saying that, Yuan Shu asked Guo Jia to take out two things.

A small glass mirror, a bottle of perfume.

That's right, these are some of the essential gadgets for travelers to make a fortune.

Although Yuan Shu didn't know how to do it, he provided a general direction, and the craftsmen under his command could quickly study it.

For example, glass is made of sand, so try different types of sand and try various ways, anyway, you can make it by adding various things to cooperate with the firing, or by doing various treatments on the sand first, and it can be made slowly and naturally.

Perfume is even simpler, it is the concentrated heating of petals and the like.

These things are like a layer of window paper, which breaks when you poke it.

The ancients by no means lacked hands-on ability and creative ability, but only lacked the spiritual and material foundation for creation.

As soon as Yuan Shu opened his mouth, all kinds of things necessary for crossing there were slowly experimented, and the methods were constantly being optimized.

These are some of the many finished products that have appeared in the past month.

Yuan Shu wants to take advantage of the fact that the world is not chaotic now and make a sum of money on luxury goods.

When the world is in chaos, these things will not be able to sell at a high price.

As soon as Zhang saw the delicate glass mirror and his own face in the mirror, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Now there are only bronze mirrors, which are not only generally developed, but also cannot see the colors at all.

As soon as the glass mirror was taken out, the eyes of all the women present immediately straightened.

Seeing the clear image of himself in the mirror, and even every strand of hair seemed to be able to be seen clearly, Zhang suddenly couldn't sit still.

"General, general, can I really sell this thing on behalf of my Zhen family?"

"It's nature. There's something else, ma'am! ”

Zhang realized that he was a little out of shape, calmed down, and opened the porcelain vase next to the mirror.

As soon as the lid of the porcelain vase was opened, a rich aroma suddenly emanated.

Zhang's eyes lit up, and he poured out a drop of the liquid in it and dripped it into his hand.

The rich aroma suddenly spreads.

"It's called a perfume, and it breaks through to the skin, giving you a captivating fragrance that lasts for a long time. Another thing is called the mirror, which can clearly reflect the influence of people and can be used for grooming. I believe that these two items will be flocked to by ladies like Mrs., and the sales will not be low, so they will be handed over to Mrs. to be responsible for sales. ”

Zhang Shi suddenly said excitedly: "I wonder how many of these mirrors and perfumes the general can provide?" ”

Yuan Shu smiled: "Rare things are expensive, and this kind of thing naturally can't be very much." I will provide 10,000 mirrors and 30,000 bottles of perfume every month, all of which are sold by the Zhen family, but because the profit value of this thing is too large, the Zhen family can only get half of the profit this time, I don't know if Mrs. can accept it? ”

Zhang Shi was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Naturally! ”

These two things can easily be sold for more than 100 yuan, and the monthly income is at least 5 million yuan.

What is this concept?

In the past, the Zhen family's annual income was no more than one million yuan, and Yangzhou's annual tax was only 800,000 yuan, which shows what a lucrative business this is.

But then again, the Yangzhou government is really poor, and the taxes are not as much as the income of a businessman!

However, not only Yangzhou, but also the entire Han Dynasty's taxes are not too high.

This is a dead knot in the ancient economy.

The people have no money, the country has no money, and most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the wealthy gentry and merchants.

Think about how rich those officials were at the end of the Ming Dynasty? There are thousands of houses, and the land is recorded in 10,000 acres.

As a result, Chongzhen was still poor like that ghost, and he didn't dare to repair the palace if it was broken.

There are many wealthy people in the Han Dynasty, but most of the wealth in their hands is only in and out, and it is moldy in the warehouse.

As soon as the perfume and mirror came out, it would surely drive countless ladies and ladies crazy, and these rich men would certainly give generously to it.

In this era, it can be said that less than five percent of the rich occupy more than ninety-five percent of the wealth, and Yuan Shu now wants to extract money from these rich people.

I don't complain that so many people in ancient times couldn't afford to eat, because the wealth was concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.

Moreover, their wealth only goes in and out, and they only know how to exploit the poor and save money and land, which can only lead to less and less wealth and never enough resources.

What Yuan Shu wants to do now is to let this group of rich people who only enter but not leave spend their money and make the people at the bottom rich.

Perfume and mirror are Yuan Shu's first steps.

"Also, I need some things that my wife needs help with."

"General, please command."

"In two months, I will be looking for sellers for some of my goods in Jinling City, which was formerly Moling County. These goods are similar to mirrors and perfumes, and the profits are very lucrative, and your Zhen family has a large network in the business world, so please help inform the major businessmen. ”

Zhang was puzzled: "Why doesn't the general directly let our Zhen family be responsible for the sale?" ”

Yuan Shu smiled: "The things to be sold this time are different from perfumes and mirrors, and the quantity is huge, and your Zhen family may not be able to eat it." What's more, the tree is a big move, and it is the right choice for everyone to earn money, otherwise someone will come to harvest wheat soon. You must know that outside Yangzhou, I can't guarantee the interests of your Zhen family. ”

Zhang nodded, knowing in his heart that Yuan Shu was reminding himself not to think too much.

Just now, I forgot my husband's entrustment, and I was a little radical and short-sighted.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang's face nodded calmly: "Respect the general's order!" ”

"In addition, I also hope that the Zhen family can recruit some craftsmen for me, and I will give you ten yuan for each skilled craftsman recruited. The more the merrier, there is no cap. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you about the treatment of our craftsmen in Yangzhou, and most of the craftsmen will be moved."

Zhang nodded in understanding.

Leaving the Zhen family, Yuan Shu looked at the sky from afar, and his mood was very happy.

There is no future in making money from the poor, and fighting local tyrants is the king!

The people are rich and the country is strong, and the wealth is hidden from the people, which is the ideal man of his own.
