Chapter 115: Incomprehensible
On the floor, Yu Wenwen crawled humiliatingly on all fours, and a man rode on his neck, pulling his hair and laughing wildly, ignoring the fact that the man under his crotch was walking on his knees like a horse, and after a while, he even a soak of urine.
is the so-called tolerable or unbearable, being ridden under the crotch, and being and insulted in front of everyone, Yu Wenwen, who has never admitted defeat, swallowed his anger.
Well, in fact, this is Yuwenwen pretending to be a horse for his son to ride, in the era when there were only traditional diapers, the little guy's urine was easy to leak, and as a result, a bubble of pure boy urine was drenched on his shoulder.
"Quick, get the clothes!" Yang Lihua, who was holding Brother Que on the side, shouted, she quickly picked up her son and handed it over to the nurse to take care of, and when she saw Yu Wenwen, who smelled of urine, got up from the ground, she took out a silk scarf and wiped it.
"It's okay, the boy's urine is evil." Yuwen Wen smiled, "I don't know how many people have been swearing on paper all day long, Brother Que is to eliminate the disaster for Aya." ”
Yang Lihua was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she knew that what her husband said was unintentional, but those who cursed her husband probably included her parents, of course she knew that her parents would not do this kind of boring thing, but she was afraid that there would be a few words of scolding every day.
"I'm thinking about it again, don't worry, my husband didn't say those two." Yu Wenwen took the silk scarf and wiped his neck, took off his clothes and put on a new one, the smell of urine was not heavy, so he was too lazy to take a bath.
Yang Lihua smiled awkwardly, seeing her son babbling and asking for someone to hug her after changing the diaper, she just wanted to go over but was preempted by Yu Wenwen, and saw her husband sitting on the couch teasing her son, she also sat aside.
"Brother Bird, it's the same with Thorny, grab lots and choose bows and arrows." Yuwen Wen said with a smile, his sister-in-law Jianlang caught lots when he turned one year old, and he also caught a small bow and arrow, although the trial is to please a good luck, but he is very useful to this good luck.
In this era, if you don't practice martial arts, you will be taken on!
"How's it going over there?" Yuwenwen asked, Yang Lihua knew what her husband said, and she didn't hide it and said that everything was fine, the offensive of the Turkic army was contained, and her mother told her not to worry.
"Turkic, all the khans are wary of each other, where can the intrigue win" Yuwenwen shook his head, "If it drags on any longer, it will snow heavily, and then there will be no food and grass, so you can only retreat." ”
"If there is something wrong with the way out, it will be wonderful, hehe."
Yang Lihua received a letter from Chang'an yesterday, this letter was written by her mother Dugu, sent by Zheng Yi, the Duke of Peiguo, sent thousands of miles away, according to the day, the letter was at least more than a month ago.
Looking at the weather outside, Yang Lihua thought that it should have snowed in Chang'an now, if it was according to what her husband said, the Turkic army attacking Chang'an would almost be forced to retreat, and the relieved Sui army was afraid that it was going to the east.
"Don't worry, the truth of beating the water dogs, your father won't know it, if you don't beat the Turkic Khan, they will come back next year." Yu Wenwen has already put aside his position and said from an outsider's perspective.
Yang Lihua was a little distracted when she heard this, she knew that after her father solved the northern trouble, sooner or later he would gather a large army to march eastward, and the direction of attack at that time was likely to be the Shannan states, and then her husband would naturally lead the army to resist, and she didn't know what would happen at that time.
She hoped that the situation would continue to be so deadlocked, the Zhou army would not be able to attack Chang'an, and the Sui army would not be able to attack Shannan, so if the confrontation continued, then her relatives on both sides would not be injured.
"Don't think about those unhappy things, did you use the soap sent by Shopkeeper Li, how do you feel?" Yuwen Wen diverted the topic and handed Brother Que to the nurse to take him away, the original topic made the side room difficult on both sides, so he decided to say something happy.
Yang Lihua said that the soap sent has been used, the fragrance is stronger than the last time, the feel is good, and the grip is not as soft as last time, but I care why I don't make this soap.
Since Mrs. Wei Chi's recovery after giving birth, she once again took back the financial power in her hands, but Yang Lihua was not idle, Yuwenwen asked her to be responsible for the design of glass handicrafts, the former queen mother is well-informed, and has countless experiences in jewelry, and she is just a 'designer' to show her skills.
Especially the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" glass screen, but it embodies a lot of Yang Lihua's hard work.
In addition, after acting as an agent for a period of time, Yang Lihua has an understanding of the source of income of the mansion, so she is very worried about the current situation: the glass mirror is the bulk of the income, followed by the glass jewelry or handicrafts, and there is no other profitable business.
If it is more than enough in normal times, but the husband still raises 5,000 soldiers by himself, so it is a little difficult, although he is breaking even now, but it will not be good in the long run.
There is no land under the name of the mansion, and it is only recently that it has not lost money, once there is a problem with the glass mirror or glass jewelry, there is no way to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.
Glass mirrors can be sold at a high price, that is scarce and expensive, the mirrors sold every month accumulate for a year, the price will fall sooner or later, although it will not fall sharply, but the decrease in income is certain, and the same is true for glass jewelry.
If the income is less and there is no other business to make up for it, it is no problem to raise the hundreds of people in the mansion, but raising soldiers will be stretched, Yang Lihua feels that her husband is not like the kind of person who deducts military salaries and drinks the blood of soldiers, so he should find a way to 'generate income' in advance.
You have to find more ways to make money, and that soap is one of them, because there are no other branches in the world, so it is natural that the sales will be good, but Yu Wenwen let Li Fang Li take over this business, and Yang Lihua was surprised.
She knew that this soap was actually made by the workshop in the house, and she also knew that the reason why her husband did this was to buy those big local families with sweetness, but Yang Lihua felt that the friendship bought with money was unreliable.
From the crown princess to the queen and then to the queen mother, she has seen more intrigues, even between in-laws may not be reliable, the princesses of the Yuwen clan are married to so many powerful sons and daughters-in-law as the main room, and in the end, few sons-in-law stand on the side of the Yuwen family, let alone the friendship bought with money.
It's not that these people don't talk about morality, when it comes to a critical moment, the interests of the family are the greatest, and this sweetness is not as important as standing in a good line, for the sake of the family, any covenant and any kindness can be ignored.
Thinking again and again, Yang Lihua couldn't help but think of herself when she thought of this.
Her ex-husband died violently, she changed from the queen to the queen mother, and if she wanted to keep herself and her concubine, she could only rely on her mother's support, otherwise she would be taken advantage of by other powerful people if she was not careful.
If the ministers want to control the little emperor, they must first get rid of her, the queen mother, and then the Yang family, as a relative, will only be cut down and eradicated.
If you want to protect the Yang family, you have to be in power, so my father desperately grabbed the authority, but a powerful minister who assisted the little emperor only had the ending of being beheaded like King Yuwen of Jin.
Then her father walked on that road step by step, in order to protect the Yang family, he simply ascended the throne and became the emperor, and killed her concubine.
But so what, her younger siblings, and her father and mother deserve to die? When things turned out like this, who should she hate?
So when it comes to a pinch, when it comes to family interests, the profit of just soap is nothing!!
"Ahem" Yuwen Wen coughed dryly a few times, he saw that the side room was distracted, looking sad, and quickly interrupted the other party's thoughts so as not to go mad.
Yang Lihua knew that she was out of shape, so she hurriedly provoked a topic to hide her uneasiness: "The husband shares the profits to Shopkeeper Li and others like this, do you have to lure them to profit?" But this businessman is profit-seeking, and he can do anything in order to make money. ”
"You're right, a businessman can do anything to make money." Yu Wenwen agrees with this sentence, but how to understand this sentence has a saying, "For the sake of profit, the merchant can even sell a knife that can kill him." ”
Yang Lihua knew what she said when she heard this, since her husband knew that it was false and wronged, then she didn't need to talk more, a smart woman should know that it was enough to stop, but she wanted to stop in moderation, but Yu Wenwen was interested.
He turned into a black-hearted 'beast', and wanted to persuade Yang Lihua, who was preparing to 'protect the research', to make a deal: "You have to change your conservative moral thinking and let go"
Yuwen "called the beast" said that it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, but businessmen can actually be divided into two categories, the first type is the businessmen who are familiar to the world, and they are everywhere to buy goods low and sell them high to make the difference, what grain merchants and timber merchants are in this category, he calls them middlemen.
This kind of merchant can make a lot of money if he does a good job, but it is not good for others, take the grain merchant as an example, when he arrives at the grain producing area to buy goods at a low price, and transports them by ship to the grain-scarce land to ship at a high price, except for the farmers who sell rice, the boatmen hired by the grain merchants to row boats, and the coolies who carry the packing and unloading, and the shopkeepers of the rice shops, no one will make money from this kind of business activities.
By analogy, merchants such as timber merchants were similar, and the rulers of the dynasties had a repressive attitude towards merchants because they saw them as not producing, but making large profits 'easily'.
The country's stability depends on grain, with grain can the people live and work in peace and contentment, with grain can the army start a war, and grain must rely on peasants to farm.
As a result, the peasants who were busy all year round had only enough food and clothing, and those merchants who were not engaged in production easily made a lot of money and lived a life of spending time and drinking.
The status of the merchant was the lowest, and it was even stipulated that the merchant could only wear white clothes, and was not allowed to wear brocade clothes and silk so as not to stimulate the weak minds of the masses, which was the attitude of the rulers of the agrarian society towards the merchants.
"But there is another kind of businessman, which belongs to another category" Yuwen 'called the beast', he looked at Yang Lihua with a smile and asked: "How is it, do you want to open it?" ”
Yang Lihua blinked, thought for a moment and asked if it was the owner of the fish pond or the owner of the blacksmith shop, Yuwen 'called the beast' saw that his mind was loose and 'wanted to open', so he continued to follow the good path: "You are right, but we have to go deeper"
He said that another kind of merchant is a person who makes his own products to sell, and the concept of 'making products' is very broad, and aquaculture, mining, and handicrafts all belong to this category, in other words, they are called manufacturers, which are different from the previous kind of middlemen who resell goods.
This kind of manufacturer needs to employ many people, and even can drive the surrounding industries, that is, it can benefit more people relatively well, and this kind of manufacturer is what he needs.
"But you can't hire many people if you raise chickens?" Yang Lihua asked, she actually wanted to take her own industry as an example, and there were not many people who made glass mirrors, of course, she would not be stupid enough to refute her husband's face in person.
"What if it's a chicken farm with thousands of chickens?" Yuwen asked rhetorically, "The pig farm in the eastern suburbs of the city, with the scale of thousands of pigs, employs a lot of swineherds. ”
Yang Lihua thought in her heart what this had to do with soap, according to what her husband said, Li Fang and others should be allowed to open a chicken farm, a pig farm, or a stone quarry, anyway, it would be okay to build the river embankment and ask for stones, so that they could earn this money.
Sending out the soap trade to buy people's hearts, has it been forgotten that the old saying of Shengmien and Doumiqiu has been forgotten?
Although she thought so, she still didn't say it, her husband was very assertive, not she could say it, anyway, now Liulijing still makes a lot of money, if she says too much, it will make Mrs. misunderstand, thinking that she instigated her husband to buy an industry, and then take the opportunity to make a profit.
What she couldn't understand was why her husband was so confident that he thought that he could tame a profit-seeking businessman, which no one had ever been able to do since ancient times.
Yang Lihua planned to talk about it perfunctorily in the future, but Yuwen 'called the beast' saw that she was insincere, and seeing that the other party was so unfamiliar, he began to 'coerce and lure': "In this way, let's change our posture"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Lihua was stunned, her face was slightly red and she looked out of the room, Yuwenwen was shocked that she said the wrong thing and quickly corrected it: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I want to say another example for my husband" (to be continued. )
