In the afternoon, Zhang Xutuo came out of the Rixingchang cabinet workshop, followed by his daughter-in-law Xue, and looked at the long queue in the cabinet workshop, and the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: There are really too many people!

After the initial wait-and-see, people found that the cabinet did have credit, so more and more people went to the cabinet to save money. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The only risk is that he is afraid of making mistakes when depositing and withdrawing money, so Zhang Xutuo took his daughter-in-law to the cabinet to do a few times to make a deposit, which is considered to be familiar with the process.

That is, the so-called "financial management", Zhang Xutuo was literate, and he also served as a teacher in the Hulin Army to teach his colleagues to read and write, and his understanding of "financial management" was faster than others, so further "financial management" was also carried out.

The couple walked to the side of the street, and a trolley was waiting for them, two domestic servants who had been waiting for a long time, and Zhang Xutuo beckoned them to follow, and walked towards the bustling market at the other end of the street.

He came out of the cabinet and had a stack of negotiable coupons in his arms, which was the money remitted by his relatives in Jingzhou, and it would come in handy in a while.

After several years of military life, Zhang Xutuo's body is very tough, because of the good food, so he is obviously tall, his skin is dark, and he looks powerful.

Although he has a "huge amount of money", Zhang Xutuo has nothing to worry about, if he meets anyone who dares to steal or rob without opening his eyes, not to mention a few people around him, he can deal with a few thieves by himself.

"Ah Guo, will you be able to catch it in time?"

Xue asked, she passed in the second half of last year, and now she follows her husband to "manage money", first familiarize herself with the process, and then she will do it herself.

"It doesn't matter, I already made a deposit half a month ago, and there will definitely be goods in hand with the credentials."

Zhang Xutuo comforted Xue, he was in the army, once the war started, he had to go with the army, his daughter-in-law stayed in Xiyang, and she had to take care of the housework on weekdays, so some things had to be taught.

After several times of depositing and withdrawing money in the cabinet, Xue has figured out the process, just now he was independently completed to withdraw money under the observation of Zhang Xutuo, and the next thing is how to spend money, which is also a kind of financial management.

When a group of people came to a certain store, they saw that the front desk was already crowded, and many vendors were queuing up to buy the goods sold by the store, how many wanted, and there was no place to make this product except Xiyang City.

Seeing so many people, the Xue family was a little embarrassed, Zhang Xutuo took out an iron card, took his daughter-in-law's hand and walked forward and said to the shopkeeper: "Man, it's booked, this is the reservation number plate." ”

The guy looked at the iron plate and said with a smile: "Guest officer, the goods are ready, please inside." ”

"Hey, hey, how do you cut in line, we're here first!"

A vendor shouted, and Xue heard this complaint a little embarrassed, but the shopkeeper quickly explained: "Make an appointment!" Is this an appointment known? Our store has a discount for officers and soldiers, and you can make a reservation half a month in advance! ”

"Don't stare at me! Go to other stores to inquire, which one is not a preferential officer and soldier can book? ”

Hearing this, the vendors quieted down, and the shopkeeper led Zhang Xutuo and his wife into the shop, invited them to sit down for a while, and then brought a few wooden boxes and put them in front of them.

"Guest officer, please inspect the goods."

A wooden box was opened, bursts of aroma came to the nose, there were many wooden boxes neatly stacked in the box, Zhang Xutuo took out one of them, put it on the table and gently opened the lid, only to see an oval bright yellow object lying inside, the size of an egg.

This thing exudes a fragrance, it looks like it is not gold or stone, it is not soft or hard in the hand, it is a little slippery, and it is called soap.

Zhang Xutuo motioned to Xue to take out the list, and the couple ordered the goods together, this is the soap they ordered half a month in advance, and after the inspection is completed, they will entrust the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce to ship it to Jingzhou Suicheng.

Soap can be used to wash hands and bathe, it is very clean and fragrant, and it was sold in Xiyang City a few years ago, but at that time there were very few quantities on the market, and it was not available to ordinary people.

Nowadays, it is different, there are a few more shops that can make soap, and soap is no longer a monopoly commodity of wealthy merchants, and ordinary traders also have the opportunity to buy it, provided that it is ranked high.

Without him, because it is too easy to sell.

The use of soap is divided into hand washing and bathing, and the price is not low but it is consumed quickly, so ordinary people cannot afford to consume it, and it is the wealthy families who have a huge demand for soap.

But it is not necessary for people with a lot of money to afford it, the price of soap is not low compared to the common people, and those wealthy families with land and mansions do not care about more expenses at all.

Washing hands and bathing with soap can leave a residual fragrance on the hands and body, especially loved by women, although the market is narrower, but it is still easy to sell.

How is soap made? It's a mystery, but the vendors know that soap is very profitable, and if you put a penny in it, you can make a penny of profit.

This thing is shelf-stable, long-distance trafficking is not afraid of deterioration, small size and easy to carry and high profits, the unit price is not expensive, it is a good commodity for small transactions.

Huangzhou soap is so good, why is it not famous?

It is because at the beginning, only wealthy merchants could buy it, they came to Huangzhou to buy cloth and books, soap was "just by the way" to buy, and it was sold by rich people, and ordinary people did not have much contact with morality, so it was easy to be ignored.

But now that the production has increased, it is a good business opportunity for small traders, and any rich man in the countryside can afford to buy soap, carry the soap with him, and double the cost of running back and forth in the countryside.

Therefore, small traders like to buy soap the most, but there are more monks and less porridge, and the soap sold by each store every day is not enough, so the vendors can only queue up to buy, and each person has a limit.

Things are in demand, but they can be booked, officers and soldiers have discounts to order half a month in advance, and the general vendors must be more than 20 days in advance, many soldiers take the initiative or passively order soap for relatives and friends, Zhang Xutuo is one of them.

He was born in Hongnong Township, and his ancestor Zhang Wen was the Eastern Han Dynasty Sikong Taiwei, but that was a long time ago, Zhang Xutuo's great-grandfather Zhang Qing was an official of the Southern Dynasty Qi State, and later defected to the Northern Dynasty Wei State.

Grandfather Zhang Si, a scholar in the Western Wei Dynasty, served as the assassin of Shaanzhou after the establishment of the Zhou State, and was named the founding prince of Nanyang County, and his father was a county magistrate in Jingzhou, so the Zhang family of his vein was scattered in Nanyang, Jingzhou.

Zhang Xutuo's belonging is actually Nanyang Zhang's family, which is a large surname in Nanyang, since it is a big surname, then there are many clansmen.

Ding Xinwang, a member of the Zhang family, some of them became officials, some studied and studied, some farmed, some went out to do business, or joined the army, Zhang Xutuo was one of them.

He has now been awarded the commander of the capital by virtue of his military merits, leaving the Hulin Army to enter the government soldier sequence, with a positive rank and seven lives, and he is already a leader in the family, so it is inevitable to bring the clansmen, one of which is to do "purchasing agents" in Xiyang City.

The so-called "purchasing agent" is to take advantage of the geographical advantage to help relatives and friends in Jingzhou buy all kinds of goods in Xiyang City, because they can remit the payment to Huangzhou in Huangzhou, so it is also very convenient for Zhang Xutuo to help people buy things in Xiyang.

The dignified Nanyang Zhang family still has to rely on people to "buy on behalf of others" to do business?

Of course not, the main branch of the Zhang clan in Nanyang naturally has the ability to organize people to do business in Xiyang, Huangzhou, but those side branches are far away.

The ancestors are all a family, but there will always be relatives and aliens, and many people in the side branch of the Zhang family are not able to organize caravans to sell goods from Xiyang, but they always want to share a mouthful of soup, so Zhang Xutuo reached out to help.

Selling soap is suitable for small business, basically there will be no loss, but it is more troublesome to get the goods, so the "discount" enjoyed by Zhang Xutuo can solve this problem.

Relatives and friends remitted the money to Xiyang in Jingzhou, and after he received it, he bought soap according to the list in Xiyang, and then found the Chamber of Commerce to consign it to Jingzhou.

With his hands, he actually didn't plan to profit from it, but most of the relatives and friends who entrusted him with the purchase knew that people were sophisticated, and there would always be some more "hard work" in the payment.

Xiyang City sells cloth and books, but it takes a large number of purchases to make a lot of money, and many people can't take out too much capital, so the soap that can't be made elsewhere is a big money for them.

Zhang Xutuo relied on the hard work earned by "purchasing on behalf of others", and actually solved the daily expenses of the family, which made him quite excited, so he took his daughter-in-law to "enter the industry" now.

Every few days, I walk between the cabinets, shops and chambers of commerce, and I can earn some hard money in half a day, and I have nothing left over after deducting the daily expenses of the family in a month, so why not?

Zhang Xutuo and his wife carefully lit the soap, and after making sure that it was not damaged and the quantity was correct, they handed over the money with one hand and took the goods with the other, and the servants put the wooden box on the cart and marched towards the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Zhang Xutuo.

"How, easy, right?"

Zhang Xutuo asked, seeing Xue nodding, he was about to add a few words, but saw his friend Liu Hulu leading his daughter-in-law over, followed by a cart, looking in a hurry.

"Hulu, you're here too?"

Liu Hulu is now transferred to the Xiyang Wangfu Guard as a lieutenant, seeing Zhang Xutuo greeting, he nodded, and dragged his daughter-in-law forward quickly: "Ah Guo, I'll talk about it later!" ”

Zhang Xutuo was wondering, but he caught a glimpse of many people walking towards this side in the distance, and looked at it, but it was his comrades, looking at the formation, he also came to ask for soap, Xue Shi saw such a formation, and asked:

"Ah Guo, what are they doing in such a hurry? Isn't it possible to book? ”

"Ah, I remember, it's true that I can make a reservation, but if it's late and out of stock that day, then I have to wait a few more days."

"Zhang Dudu!"

Several people who ran to the front greeted Zhang Xutuo, and then rushed to the store, all of them followed by a trolley, which seemed to be "purchasing agents", because this store sells soap, and there is no need to buy it back and keep it.

"Let's go, go to the Chamber of Commerce to consign."

Zhang Xutuo continued to move forward with the Xue family, and the preferential treatment given by Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen to the soldiers changed the daily life of many people, and the income of the family had another source.

Purchasing agent, has Tao Zhugong really done business like this? In which ancient book did the King of Xiyang look like? (To be continued.) )
