"Think about it, you are a big family, how can you burn six or seven hundred yuan of charcoal a month for cooking, boiling water, and heating stoves in winter, and you get four hundred yuan of briquettes from the warehouse to go back, and see if it is enough to burn for a month, if it is not enough, you always spit on my face......"

"If the briquettes are enough to burn, you will pay for the monthly profits in the future. If it weren't for the lack of burning, you would come over next month, and my face would not only give you a spitting to dissipate your anger, but the money shop would also make up for your old money, and the first month's briquettes would be given to you for nothing......"

"Of course, this kind of money, you always choose briquettes or money, even rice grain and other goods that our warehouse has, you can, we won't force it. The reason why we take briquettes, rice grains, bacon, cloth, tea and even wine, medicine and other things to convert the profits, on the one hand, is that our discount, to buy cheaper than you to buy in the market, the discount to give you the old, but also to tell the villagers, our store, money is really to do things, there is really a way to make money with money, this can pay interest to everyone on a monthly basis......

"Our neighbors, what is the scale of our store, what kind of money shop, what kind of pie, you have always seen it from the years. We now have the confidence to put out the name of the third prince Linjiang Marquis, that is, it is indeed true......"

"If you are always worried about being deceived, you can go to Fengxiang Street in front of the Linjiang Hou Mansion to read the notice, and then decide whether to invest the money or not......

"You lend money to other people, you are afraid of repaying your debts, do you always think that the third prince will rely on your debts?"

"Think about it again, if you use this 10,000 yuan to buy land, the high-quality paddy fields outside the city don't care if you have enough for one acre of land, right? Even if you can get one acre of paddy land, how much rent do you plan to collect if you hand it over to tenant farmers to cultivate? Two stone valleys are enough, can you polish rice with one stone and two buckets? But you always invest 10,000 yuan in our money shop, and you can directly convert the annual profit into polished rice and take it away, that is, five-stone polished rice. Do you always calculate for yourself, how much is the difference between inside and outside? ”

"You are ruthless, invest 100,000 yuan to come, the annual profit is 50 stone polished rice, you go to the front door Zhou Master to inquire, he is also a righteous and eight-grade master, the court gave him an official in a year, can there be 50 stone polished rice? If you hand over the money to our shop, your family is equivalent to raising an eight-grade old man to eat official money! Where do you find this good thing? ”

The warehouse faces the courtyard of the first building in Lanting Lane, which is adjacent to Zhilan Street, opens the courtyard wall facing the street, and gets the Jingzhaofu City Order and the newly established money shop to be operated.

However, with real fanfare, Han Qian still made a lot of preparations in all aspects.

Although Zhilan Street is a much wider street than the laneway, it is one of the main roads in the south of the city, but it is a dirt road, it is muddy every rainy day, and most of the streets are old-style courtyards, and there is no open to form a row of street shop patterns, and the courtyards in the depths of the streets and alleys are also dilapidated, and there are few deep house compounds, but the money shop is adjacent to the warehouse, and Han Qian can only make more fuss about the money shop itself.

Zhilan Street in front of the money shop, Zuo Si begged for his own pocket, paved out a section of forty or fifty steps long granite street, and also moved the two stone lions in a ruined temple in Taowu to decorate the door, and the rammed earth courtyard wall was also replaced with a blue brick and white gray wall, plus granite door holes, glazed tile deep eaves, and copper-clad gates.

And the selected money shop guys, after a certain amount of speech training, wear silk and scarves, and all of them are extraordinary.

That's not enough.

Not counting the garrisons of the north and south ya, although the population of Jinling City is nearly 500,000, the official slaves and maids and the slaves and maids in the prefectures account for at least half.

After deducting the officials, the generals and dependents of the northern and southern armies, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, the number of ordinary people in Jinling City is actually about 1120,000.

It has only been thirteen years since the founding of Great Chu, and ten years ago, Jinling City was still shrouded in war, and the vast majority of Jinling people have not forgotten the trauma of war.

Later, in order to maintain the war on the northern front for many years, the imperial court was extremely harsh on tax collectors, and at the same time, prices were high, which made the ordinary people in Jinling City still live very hard, and there was not much surplus wealth in their hands.

Lanting Lane, Wuli Lane, and Gushan Lane are three alleys, densely populated with more than 200 households, and the latest opening of the money shop will affect the shop and the third lane, but the amount of money from these three alleys is less than 200,000 in total.

It can be seen that in order to raise loans, it is necessary to think from the rich, the big and even the official households.

Han Qian and they belong to the three princes, and they are still in a state of isolation in the powerful ecosystem of Jinling, and Han Qian does not expect the Late Red Mansion to help him publicize this matter at this time, so the role of Feng Yi and Kong Xirong becomes even more important.

In the twelfth or thirteenth year of the founding of the Great Chu, even most of the officials were in a hurry to buy a farm house, and they had to raise slaves and slaves, and they didn't have much money in their hands, even if the Han family raised twenty family soldiers and their dependents a year ago, they were stretched thin, and they lived a tight life every month, and occasionally had some money and food surpluses, and they had to keep it for emergencies, and they didn't have enough money to let go out to eat money.

However, the officials of the household department, the salt and iron transit department, and even the degree support envoy who controlled the financial system of the imperial court, and the Taifu Temple, which was in charge of the imperial treasury, must be much more nourishing than the officials of other ministries and departments.

In particular, the Salt and Iron Transshipment Division, in addition to setting up cards in the Yaojin Mine to collect taxes, the production, collection, storage, transportation, and marketing of official salt are all under its jurisdiction, in addition to the Huaidong Salt Farm and the Jinling Division, the salt officials sent by the Salt and Iron Transshipment Department are all over the 51 prefectures and more than 300 counties to which Dachu belongs.

Han Qian didn't need Feng Yi and Kong Xirong to encourage many high-ranking officials to join him, he only needed to help him raise loans, and publicize it among these low-level salt officials and subordinates who only had eight or nine official ranks.

This is also the circle that the Feng family can influence, and these low-level officials will not be very sensitive to the matter of competing for succession.

Although it has been half a month since the trial was implemented, the money shop has only collected less than two million dollars, and there is still a long way to go from the predetermined goal, but Han Qian is not dissatisfied.

After all, this money, combined with the distribution of the first batch of surplus goods from Xuzhou, has almost made up for the shortfall this month.

"Have you ever thought that once the workshop can't hold on, or the three princes fail to compete for succession, these small people in the market who have been deceived by you will come to naught with their life's work, and you really don't have any hesitation and anxiety in your heart?" Xi Ying saw another neighbor living nearby in the back hall, and was told by the guy at the money shop to spread the half-wrapped copper coins to the neck-high cash cabinet to count them, and when he saw Han Qian's self-righteous look, he couldn't help but taunt him.

Xi Ying recently helped Zhao Ting'er sort out the accounts together, and figured out the internal operation of the craftsman and Zuo Si, and also knew that the hope of the success of the three princes was not great, and secretly felt that Han Qian might have pinned more hopes on the operation of Xuzhou in his heart, after all, the craftsmen who really had potential in the workshop but had not yet been taken seriously were all sent to Xuzhou by Han Qian with Yang Qin.

Theoretically, the weaving institute and shipyard are more suitable for the construction of Jinling, after all, the demand for tarpaulin, sailing ships and ships in Jinling is much higher than that of Xuzhou; In addition to wood, it is also more convenient to obtain raw materials in Jinling than in Xuzhou.

However, Han Qian had no intention of building a weaving institute and shipyard in the Qiuhu Mountain Craftsman's Workshop.

In Xi Ying's opinion, this sign is obvious enough, and he thinks that even if he takes refuge in Tanzhou at that time, it will be a good choice for Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son.

However, in this way, the money shop here is a complete scam.

"It's okay to cheat, but some of the money defrauded is used to ransom the Xi clan, can you bear it?" Han Qian stared at Xi Ying's beautiful face and asked with a smile.

Once the three princes fail in the battle for succession, the war in three years will most likely leave more than a million people inside and outside Jinling City, and the land of Jianghuai will be ruined and ruined, even if Han Qian harms hundreds of people in the market and bankrupts their families, he will not have any guilt.

It can even be said that when he was struggling for his fate, he was also trying to prevent the ancient city under his feet from sliding into the nightmare abyss of destruction, but if this ending could not be avoided in the end, he had to retreat to Xuzhou, what could he do?

Does he have to feel guilty for it for the rest of his life?

Han Qian didn't have this kind of spiritual cleanliness.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't convince his father, if it weren't for the fact that Tanzhou didn't look like a successful climate, if it weren't for Ma Xun's lack of bearing, he would have secretly thrown himself into Tanzhou, could it be that he really wanted to hang himself on the crooked neck tree of the third prince?

Seeing that Han Qian could be so at ease, Xi Ying was very disdainful in his heart, but it was also difficult to refute.

In fact, the more vigorously Han Qian laid out Xuzhou, at least in the early stage, the sooner he would arrange for Feng Xuan to secretly redeem the Xi clansmen; This also made her see that Xi had a chance to revitalize.

Of course, Han Qian's discount from the workshop is a smarter way in Xi Ying's opinion, at least it can ensure that the fraud of the money shop will not be exposed in a short period of time, and the goods transported by the workshop and even the fleet from Xuzhou can also have a direct distribution channel that can be continuously expanded.

In addition to the coal yard constantly building more crushed coal water mills, the workshop also plans to build three new water mills in the mountain villa at the end of the year, so as to make full use of the reservoir that consumes huge manpower and material resources.

When the grain is cheap and expensive, the cost of grinding is a key reason.

With the treadmill, one person will be exhausted after a long time of support, and the efficiency of stone grinding and stone grinding is not much higher; It would be much better to use animal power, but raising mules and horses is still an expense that small families cannot afford for the time being.

It's okay to hull rice, but it's even more troublesome to grind wheat.

This is a matter of great disturbance even in the middle family with two or three slaves and maids.

Even though the warehouses mainly supply rice and flour and briquettes, they are in short supply in the city.

However, there are too many people to be supported by Zuo Si, and they all have to be used as elite offerings, whether it is a craftsman or a boat gang, even if the scale is doubled, the output will be difficult to support such a large consumption.

If the money raised by the money shop is used to expand the production of the workshop, expand the transportation scale of the fleet, and give four percent of the monthly profit, it may be much more supportive, but the key is that a considerable part of the money is still misappropriated by Han Qian to fill the deficit of the supporter, this is not a scam, what is it?

"You, what is missing a tendon in your brain," Han Qian saw that Xi Ying's little face was still gloomy, so he reached out and pinched her little face, and said, "With your brain, you probably can't figure it out on your own, but you might as well think about it, when this scam tricks enough people into the thief ship, who do you say would want to see the three princes lose their money after losing their succession?" ”

"Ah......h
