At the beginning of the new year, there were two pieces of news that reached Anlu: the first was that the Great Zhou was changed to the Yuan and Dading, so now it is not the third year of the elephant, but the first year of the Great Ding; Secondly, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty court supported by Chi Jiong, the prince of Shu, was also established, and the era name was very popular and called orthodoxy.

This kind of year name dispute, Yu Wenwen didn't have time to complain, because just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a big business came to the door, this business was so big that even Liu Caiyun and Liu Shopkeeper couldn't do it, and the master had to let him, the owner, decide.

In the wing room of a wine shop in Anlu City, Yuwen Wen set up a case and invited one person to eat, Liu Caiyun poured wine next to him, and outside the door was the murderous Yuwen Fifteen with two minions guarding the door.

Yu Wenwen looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, as the supplier of the Western Regions Exotic Treasure 'Glass Mirror', he was in business talks with the buyers who came to negotiate business. ’

The surname Wang Mingyue is twenty-six years old, he is a businessman from Chen Guo in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has a strong background anyway, and now he has four of the six 'glass mirrors' sold by him, which means that eighty percent of the money or equivalents earned through the glass mirrors are paid by this Wang Yue.

Yuwen Wen trained the soldiers and gave out the reward money happily, thanks to the financial road opened up by the glass mirror, his wife Wei Chi Chi Fan also relied on a steady stream of profits to face various expenses in the house.

"Could it be that the shopkeeper Wang is talking nonsense because he has a bad stomach, and he wants to take all the glass mirrors, and he really thinks that his father can't find a market?" Yuwen Wen looked at each other with a smile.

Wang Yue came this time for a very important matter: monopoly, that is to say, to take over all the strange treasures of the Western Regions that appeared inexplicably from this Anlu City.

Specifically, it is the 'glass mirror' of the Western Regions that emerged from the hands of the Duke of Xiyang County.

Since the Duke of Xiyang County came to Anlu in May last year, there have been intermittent 'Western Regions Glass Jewelry' on the market, and Wang Yue, as a native of Chen Guoren, was naturally not in Anlu at that time, but in Yingzhou, south of the Yangtze River.

This Yingzhou has the same name as Yingzhou under Anzhou, but two places, Yingzhou in Nanchen was governed as Xiakou (present-day Wuhan, Hubei) on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Yingzhou under Anzhou was governed as Changshou (present-day Zhongxiang, Hubei) on the east bank of the Han River.

Wang Yue, as the shopkeeper who arranged the business in Xiakou, did not pay much attention to the glass jewelry that appeared in Anlu, but as time went on, he noticed that something was wrong: the supply was too sufficient.

It's so abundant that it doesn't seem to have been bought from a merchant in the Western Regions to change hands, but made locally in Anlu!

In this way, Wang Yue smelled a business opportunity, if he could directly connect with the merchants who sold glass jewelry in Anluli, then it would be a considerable profit to be transported to Jiangnan to change hands.

Zhou and Chen are enemy countries, and there is a Yangtze River moat in between, but this is not a big deal for businessmen who cannot afford to make profits.

Therefore, Wang Yue can eat on both sides of the river, and the north and south go back and forth, as long as he doesn't provoke anyone, no one will embarrass him, so the shopkeeper Wang personally came to Anlu and got on the line with Liu Caiyun and Liu Shopkeeper, who had endless 'Western Regions Glass Jewelry' in his hands.

This time he felt that he had come to the right place, and after a lot of starting prices to repay the money, Wang Yue and Shopkeeper Liu reached an agreement: Shopkeeper Liu would provide him with a stable supply of goods at the price he said.

As of December last year, Wang Yue, who relied on this newly opened financial road with excellent performance, was favored by the owner, and he thought that the financial road was like this, but he never thought that there was another shocking thing: glass mirror.

At the end of last year, he was urgently called to An Lu by An Lu's subordinates, saying that Shopkeeper Liu had a 'major benefit', and he was suspicious of meeting Shopkeeper Liu, and after meeting with Shopkeeper Liu, he was shocked by a glass mirror that she took out.

It was a magical round mirror, the size of a mirror fist could illuminate the appearance of a person completely, and he surged an unprecedented desire to buy when he saw this strange treasure: how much did I buy!

The mirror was sold for 3,000 yuan, and it was not appropriate to carry the copper coin, and he used the funds in the store of An Ludi and the equivalent of fine silk and silk cloth to pay for it.

The place where the lodging and storage are the house, and the place where the goods are sold is the store, which is a common industry that arose in the Northern and Southern Dynasties from Beijing to the local prefecture and county, and it is a multi-functional building integrating warehouse, accommodation and wholesale.

In order to facilitate business, the counterparts in the south and north of the Yangtze River have their own stores on each other's turf, and it has become an unspoken rule for the local snakes to guarantee each other that they will not move the funds and goods in each other's mansions.

Wang Yue crossed the river empty-handed, relying on the large amount of goods and funds stored in An Ludi's store to buy this rare precious glass mirror.

In line with the purpose of serving customers, Shopkeeper Liu carefully prepared a wooden box lined with brocade to store the mirror for Wang Yue to take away, he crossed the river and immediately gathered all the guards of the shop to go south with him overnight by boat to Jiankang, the national capital, and presented it to the owner.

Although Wang Yueqian told him to hold it steady before opening the wooden box, which made the owner a little angry, when the owner opened the wooden box and saw the mirror, he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

"Quick, prepare the car quickly, enter the palace!" The proprietor said so, and he was impatient to leave for the palace immediately.

Wang Yue didn't know what the emperor's expression was when he saw this treasure, but the value of the things he gave to the owner afterwards was not less than ten thousand yuan, and as for the saints who followed, it was even more immeasurable.

So that year, after the shopkeeper Liu informed him that the glass mirror was "in stock again", Wang Yue immediately crossed the river and went north to Anlu, although the price had risen to 3,500 yuan, he still swept away the three-sided treasure.

And the money in the store on Anlu's side is also empty, and he can't do business for the time being, but this doesn't matter anymore, the profit of a glass mirror is much greater.

After personally escorting back to Jiankang, the owner gritted his teeth for a day and left one side for his own use, and then sold the remaining two sides, one of which was dedicated to the prince, and the price of the other side was sold for 11,000 yuan, of course, it was okay to use the items to offset the value.

Although from the book point of view, he only made 500 yuan, but he bought three sides and made a profit from one side, and the net profit of one mirror was no less than 7,000 yuan, which is faster than making any living.

Because he learned that the owner had a treasure mirror in his hand, the powerful people of the dynasty were entangled in a roundabout way, especially the unscrupulous King Chen Shuling, who even brought ten beauties and a few carts of money and jewelry to the owner's mansion to change the mirror.

He let out his words, the mirror king must get this money and jewelry today, and the beauty is optional, if the king returns empty-handed, then the thing is not wanted, the beauty does not want your head, the king wants!

The proprietor could not afford to provoke this feudal king who was not inferior to the crown prince and coveted the throne, so he could only grit his teeth and take out the side he treasured, leaving 10,000 yuan and expensive jewels to send away this plague god.

Seeing that the glass mirror launched by Shopkeeper Liu was super profitable and priceless, Wang Yue's mind became active: Could this thing be made by Shopkeeper Liu or her owner?

The owner couldn't wait for him to seize the opportunity to contact the other party's 'ignorant market' owner, and authorized him to negotiate with full authority as long as he could monopolize the supply of goods.

So Wang Yue didn't even have to go to Anzhou on the seventh day of the first month, and rushed to Anzhou non-stop, and arrived in Anlu on the fifteenth day of the first month and asked for 'all-inclusive' with the shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu said that only the owner can be the master, so Wang Yue had the opportunity to meet the owner behind the scenes-Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County today.

"The county magistrate, the grass people are appointed by the owner with full sincerity, as long as the county magistrate can agree, they will never default on the payment." Wang Yue knew that this was the last chance, and the big families and powerful people in Jiangnan were anxious to find a source of goods, and it wouldn't be long before they found Anlu's side.

Even if they can't find it here, this Xiyang County Duke is afraid that he will release the news, and then the wolves will fight for meat and their own family will get less.

"What the shopkeeper Wang said is that he is in charge of the supply of goods south of the Yangtze River?" Yuwen Wen seemed to be smiling

"That's what the grass people mean."

"It can't be."

"The county is clear, and the grass people are willing and able to receive the goods at a high price."

"Drink." Yuwen Wen diverted the topic.

Wang Yue's anxiety was not revealed, he knew that the other party was boiling himself, so he had to pretend to be calm and accompany him to drink and eat.

"At the end of last year, Bengong only came back from Chang'an." Yu Wenwen said something that was not on topic, but Wang Yue knew that there was something in the words and hurriedly sat up straight and listened.

"My father has been away from home for several months, and there is no place at home, and there are people in the house waiting to be fed like young children." Yuwen Wen took a sip of wine and continued: "Seeing that the New Year is approaching, I can't bear it, so I asked Shopkeeper Liu to sell a mirror to Shopkeeper Wang. ”

When Wang Yue heard this, although he was slandered, he still showed sympathy.

"It's easy to survive the New Year, and the money is still not enough to spend, so a few days ago, I sold it to the king's shopkeeper three times, and now this prince is relieved, so he will not practice this mirror again." After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he turned around and began to talk nonsense, "A few years ago, my father entrusted someone to send a mirror to Chang'an to dedicate it to the Queen Mother, do you know how the Queen Mother was happy?" ”

Wang Yue thought to himself, aren't your Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou so sick that she can't see anyone? But he still said in a loud voice, I am a small person in Jiangnan, how do I know how the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou was at that time, I don't know if the county prince can tell one or two?

"Of course, I didn't know if my father wasn't there, but then I knew two things: first, the queen mother couldn't see enough with the mirror every day, and second, the queen mother rewarded things worth 10,000 yuan." Yuwenwen lied, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat.

'Ten thousand times is fake, but the first one is true, the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, who is also my wife Yang Lihua, really couldn't see enough in the mirror yesterday, so I didn't even look at it! He complained to himself.

How did Wang Yue know that the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty had now been dealt with by the Xiyang County Duke and was waiting to give birth in Anlu, but he knew that his affairs were still playing: the County Duke was making an offer, and he finally knew that the mirror was worth 10,000 guan and felt that the shipping price of 3,000 guan was sold to 10,000 guan It was too much of a loss.

So he 'gritted his teeth' and reported to Yuwen Wen the buyout price of 4,000 guan, how much the mirror received, Yuwenwen was paralyzed and directly reported 7,000 guan in the time of tea, and the two profiteers began to have 'friendly consultations'.

Yuwenwen sent a mirror to his little wife Yang Lihua on the fifteenth day of the first month, that is, yesterday, seeing that the other party was patronizing and looking at the mirror, and even ignored himself, he tried to provoke a topic to chat, chatting and chatting, and wanted to give her a surprise to show off his wealth.

Yang Lihua has seen many rare treasures in the palace, so Yu Wenwen asked this well-informed "treasure expert" to estimate and ask her how much she thought this mirror could be sold at a price in Chang'an City, Yang Lihua groaned for a moment and stretched out a finger and said that it must be no less than 10,000.

She said that the price sounded sensational and unbelievable, but it was important to know that this magical mirror was unique in the world, and of course if there were many more, the price would be slightly lower, but not by much.

Yang Lihua often has a wife in the palace to chat with her to pass the time, and she has heard a lot of "favorite topics for ladies", such as which lady fights the junior or adds some expensive jewelry.

The big family pays attention to the pomp and circumstance, and the ladies are worth two or three hundred hairpins at least, and thousands of them are not a problem if the wives and concubines at home are like clouds.

Yu Wenwen was messy after hearing this, this mirror now includes the early 'research and development' expenses, and the cost of each side will not exceed 20 yuan, and it will be lower and lower in the future, as a result, he asked Liu Caiyun to sell it at a price of more than 3,000 yuan per side at the end of last year and a few days ago, so that the middlemen made a profit of more than 6,000 yuan per side for no reason.

Knowing this, he really shouldn't have waited until yesterday to give a gift and make any surprises, he should have asked his well-informed little wife before selling mirrors.

He felt that what he had worked so hard to make was only more than 3,000 yuan, and the profit was easily earned by a person who changed hands, and 6,000 yuan was intolerable.

Yu Wenwen has no concept of the currency of this era, he thinks that three thousand guan is three million money, which seems to be a lot, but when he heard Yang Lihua say this, he wanted to cry without tears.

The so-called family wealth is to have tens of thousands of money, the silver circulating on the market in this year is not as large as the total amount of the Ming Dynasty, so the currency in circulation is copper money, that is, five baht money, a thousand Wen a string is consistent.

Yang Lihua couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw that her husband didn't seem to have any concept of 10,000 guan money, she said, for example, that there was a period in the Southern Dynasty when the rich with a family wealth of more than 50 million yuan were taxed, that is, property tax, and 50 million yuan is 50,000 guan money, which is just the standard of ordinary rich households, and even 10,000 yuan of treasure can't afford to be called a family, a wealthy family, and a royal family?

Yu Wenwen was speechless after hearing this, and thought to himself: The big dogs are playing to fight for money, and it is the biggest face, and the money is nothing!

He was an ordinary young man in his original era, and he had never seen any big scenes, and a multi-million dollar car seemed untouchable to him, and he couldn't understand what the rich people who drove cars worth tens of millions of yuan thought.

He felt that he was the old peasant in a certain story, thinking that the emperor was plowing the land with a golden hoe and that the queen was feeding the pigs with a jade spoon.

What was sold before was sold, and Liu Caiyun couldn't be blamed, she also said that the profit of the other party would be doubled, but neither of them had seen a real luxury scene, no wonder they were cheated.

So Yu Wenwen decided to cross the anus of the king in front of him, no, it's a pit!
