Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although he was transferred to Denglai as a chief soldier, he still left his youngest daughter in Tian0jin. Every few months, he would go back to Tian0jin to have a look.
In early April, he returned to Tian0jin from Dengzhou to see his daughter.
As soon as Geng Hua saw Geng Yingjie, his eyes turned red and he threw himself into Geng Yingjie's arms.
"Daddy, you're back!"
Geng Yingjie pulled Geng Hua away with a smile and said, "I'm not here, someone bullied you?" ”
Geng Hua said with red eyes: "Daddy and brother are not here, they all bullied me." Daddy, I'm going to Dengzhou too! ”
Geng Yingjie said with a smile: "Dengzhou is not as prosperous as Tian0jin, you grew up in Tian0jin since you were a child, and you will marry a Langjun of Tianjinjin in the future, how good." If you go to Dengzhou with your father, it will be full of poor soldiers. ”
Geng Hua muttered: "Tian0jin is also full of poor soldiers...", but she stopped halfway through her words, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, you have only come back once in so long, and you want to buy me good things!" ”
Geng Yingjie smiled and asked, "What good things to buy?" ”
Geng Hua said: "Buy a mirror, the sister of the Qin family next door bought a dress mirror of the Li family in the east of the city, not to mention how clear it is, even the eyelashes can be counted, and it is best to use it for makeup." ”
Geng Yingjie was stunned and said: "I also heard about this mirror, and I heard that it has become popular in the capital, and large families have bought one." ”
Geng Hua took his father's arm and said, "Daddy will buy me a dress mirror too!" I use it when I apply rouge. If I don't dress up beautifully, I won't be able to get married! ”
"Can't get married? The people who come to propose marriage are about to break the threshold, and you can't look down on any of them. Geng Yingjie said with a smile: "That dress mirror is not cheap, I heard that it costs one hundred and fifty taels!" You just like these new things, play around for a few days and then throw them away. ”
Geng Hua hugged Geng Yingjie's arm and looked at his father with a blank eye.
Geng Yingjie had no choice but to take Jiaodidi's daughter, so he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, buy one for you, and we'll go to the Li family's store to buy one in the afternoon!" ”
Geng Hua let go of Geng Yingjie's arm and clapped his hands happily.
Geng Yingjie shook his head helplessly and said, "How is Daddy?" ”
Geng Hua clapped his hands and said, "Daddy is the best!" ”

In April, the sales of glass mirrors are getting bigger and bigger, and all the accumulated mirrors of Li Zhi in March have been sold. Li Zhi hurriedly hired five more people to increase the number of people to make mirrors and earn more silver. Mirrors are more profitable than glass wineware, and Li Zhi has compressed the output of glass wine sets to free up production capacity to produce mirror glass.
On this day, Li Zhi was studying how to increase production capacity in the glass workshop, and heard a report from Jiading, saying that there was a day 0 Jinzhong Road Grain Management Sentence Yu Bichi to meet.
Tian0jin Town is divided into five roads, of which the middle 0 road includes Tian0jin Acropolis and Fanjiazhuang. Tian 0 Jin Zhong Road in charge of grain and military pay in Tian 0 Jin Zhong Road, is a big red man in the eyes of the military attache of Tian 0 Jin Middle Road, and ordinary guerrilla generals have to kneel respectfully when they see him. But Li Zhi's main strength relies on the family, and the family's grain and grass have always been self-raised, so he didn't take this sentence too seriously, but he just went to visit him once and didn't have any contact.
What did the general judge do when he went to Fanjiazhuang in person? Li Zhi patted the dust off his body and returned to the official hall. Walking into the second hall, Li Zhi saw that Yu Bichi, the judge of Guan Liangtong, was already sitting there with a middle-aged man with a thin face.
Seeing the general judgment, Li Zhi did not kneel down, but bowed his hand and said: "Lord Tongju came to visit in person, and it was a long way to welcome. ”
Yu Bichi knew that Li Zhi was a powerful man, and even the chief soldier Luo Zhending was overturned by him. Moreover, Li Zhi is not too concerned about the military salary, grain and grass of a thousand battalion soldiers, Yu Bichi can give more than one percent and one percent less Li Zhi. On the contrary, Yu Bichi was jealous of Li Zhi's strength, and always looked at Li Zhi differently when distributing grain and grass.
Yu Bichi didn't have anything to do about Li Zhi's kneel, but he just arched his hand and said, "Guerrilla general, don't come unharmed!" ”
Tong Juan pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is my brother Yu Biren!" ”
The middle-aged man bowed and sang: "Yu Biren has seen the guerrilla general!" ”
Li Zhi heard the self-introduction of the visitor and knew that this was Yu Biren of the Ai family, one of the eight major business names in Tian0jin. The Ai family operated grain, and used Yubichi's status as a grain manager to mobilize ships, and a large amount of southern rice came in from the canal to sell in Gyeonggi, making a lot of profits. In this chaotic year, the north became more and more dependent on the food supply from the south, and the Ai family's business was getting bigger and bigger.
What did Yu Biren do when he came to find himself, did he also want to buy a mirror?
Li Zhi was pondering there when he heard Yu Biren say: "The guerrilla adult's mirror business is getting bigger and bigger, which is enviable!" ”
Li Zhi smiled and did not answer.
Yu Biren said: "I want to buy 300 small mirrors with the guerrilla adults every month and sell them to the south!" ”
It turned out that I really bought a mirror.
Li Zhi smiled: "Ai Gong also wants to buy a mirror?" ”
Yu Biren said: "Many boats go back to the south empty, and it's a pity not to sell some things." The guerrilla adult's mirror is very novel, and there must be a market. ”
Li Zhi said with a smile: "This mirror should be made of transparent glass, and the cost is quite high!" ”
Seeing that Li Zhi said that the cost was high as soon as he came up, Yu Biren knew that Li Zhi was going to bargain, so he arched his hand and said: "How much can the guerrilla general make if he buys 3,600 mirrors in the next year?" ”
Li Zhi suddenly thought that the Ai family was doing grain trading, and he could buy some bran and rice bran from him for raising pigs. Now Li Zhi raises a large number of piglets, and needs a large amount of bran and rice bran every month, relying on small merchants to sell from all over the country to push up the price, if Yu Biren from the south of the Yangtze River in large quantities, the cost will be lower.
"Ai Gong, I want to buy a lot of bran and rice bran with you, I don't know if it's feasible?"
Yu Biren was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Bran and rice bran are cheap things, and I have accumulated a lot in the south. If the guerrilla adults ask for it, I can ship it and sell it to the adults cheaply! ”
Li Zhi said happily: "If this is the case, my small mirror can be cheaper, and I will sell it to Ai Gong on one side!" ”
Yu Biren said: "Guerrilla adults are cheaper! ”
"It's already the cost price!"
"The guerrilla adults laughed!"
"It's the cost price!"
After bargaining with Yu Biren, Li Zhi finally bit the reserve price of nine taels of silver, and negotiated with Yu Biren about the business of 300 small mirrors for a month. Li Zhi and Yu Biren made a business to buy bran and rice bran, and let Yu Biren transport these pig food from Jiangnan at a preferential price.
After talking about business for an hour, both parties were satisfied, and Yu Bichi took his younger brother back to the Acropolis.
