Chapter 0012 - The Way to Seek Wealth
In the early morning of the next day, just after eating, You Heng plunged into the study, and asked Erlang to take the family account book to show himself, the account book of the Mi family was not written on the bamboo slips, but the paper, the first time I saw the paper of the Han Dynasty, You Heng touched the paper, because of the workmanship problem, it was a little rough, although it was not as good as the white paper in the future, but it finally made You Heng find some déjà vu.
This thick pile of paper is full of the family's income and expenditure in recent years, and of course, it also contains the real capital of the Mi family.
He took out a pile of bamboo slips from the wooden case, picked up the pen, and began to record the current capital of the Mi family, this word is not very badly written, but it is not good, after all, You Heng himself is still young, and it is very good to reach this point at this age, he began to record while looking at those account books, about half an hour, he put down the pen and ink in his hand, and the bamboo slips were already densely packed with Chinese characters, You Heng carefully checked them one by one, confirmed that there was no mistake, and then picked up the bamboo slips and began to watch.
Although the Mi family is sparsely populated, it can be said that it has declined, but the family capital has not lost too much, at present, the family's fixed assets are still quite good, the Mi family compound, that is the most glorious time of the Mi family was established, although it is not as luxurious as those big tycoons, the mansion worth millions of dollars, but it is also worth about 170,000 yuan.
In addition, the Mi family still has 100 acres of fertile land, 300 acres of Zhongtian, one acre of fertile land is worth more than 10,000 yuan, Zhongtian is about 3,000 yuan, these fields are already more than 1.9 million yuan of fixed capital, plus those livestock, slaves, Mijia can really be regarded as a big family in this Linyi County!
And the only defect may be that there is less liquidity, and the money that the Mi family can mobilize and use directly is only more than 20,000 yuan, and what silver and gold ingots and the like cannot be put into use during this period, and those currencies did not appear in the Han Dynasty at all.
It is also very strange that You Heng knows this, those protagonists in the crossing novel have to settle the bill with silver for a meal after crossing, in the era when a pound of gold is worth 15,000 yuan and a pound of silver is 3,500 yuan, is it a bit too much to eat directly with silver? Eat a few taels of silver for a big meal, and you can't find a restaurant to open, isn't this deliberately disgusting?
You Heng thought about it carefully, if it was in the border area, he could still use the money to go out to trade, but in the hinterland of Qingzhou, he really didn't know how to do things like trade, suddenly, You Heng had a flash of inspiration, but he found an excellent business opportunity, and he also found a very important thing after absorbing You Heng's memory.
That is, the kind of big restaurant that exists on TV where everyone drinks and touches glasses of wine and has fun does not exist, there is only a small hotel here, that is, a wine house, and there is no entertainment in the wine house, because the law of the Han Dynasty has stated that it is forbidden to drink in groups, that is, a large group of people are not allowed to gather together to drink, so now this wine house is not as good as a small hotel in later generations, and on weekdays, it is just a few rough men who go in and scold to buy some wine to eat.
I can open a big hotel where literati gather, as for the Song Dynasty, the entertainment activities are extremely rich, and the big restaurant where the warblers sing and dance everywhere is naturally not able to do it at present, first, the atmosphere of this Han Dynasty is not as frivolous as the later dynasty, and the literati have a good reputation and chivalrous spirit, and secondly, there has been no private "green building" in this period, and in this era, those places that have been severely beaten in later generations have not appeared on a large scale.
Yes, there is, but it is the "camp prostitute" established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is a place to take care of the soldiers who have been fighting outside for a long time, and to comfort and appease the hearts of the army, while others are generally at home to raise prostitutes, there is no such large-scale brothel outside, in addition, before the Tang Dynasty, it was not called Qinglou, Qinglou refers to the mansion of the wealthy family, and it was even used to call the royal mansion in the Wei and Jin dynasties!
These three are naturally because it is not a peaceful world now, the people are in trouble, and when there is a great disaster in the year, how many scholars will like to be like that place for singing and dancing? Naturally, what You Heng wants to open is the kind of elegant place where several friends can listen to music, eat and drink, and chat, and these scholars usually communicate and talk to each other.
There has never been such a place for them to chat, not to mention that the current scholars and celebrities are not those scholars who shut themselves in the house all day to take exams, and those children of the family who have not yet become filial officials are entertained and frolicked all day long.
After thinking about these things, You Heng began to think about it again, if you want to run a restaurant, you have to solve a lot of problems, not to mention anything else, even in this Mi family, it is not up to him to completely decide, if you want to transfer the family property, you have to agree with your mother, and although you are famous in Linyi, but after all, you are just a young child, I am afraid that no scholar is willing to come to cheer.
In addition, I have to buy a more appropriate house in Linyi, and then spend capital to decorate the house, after doing these things, I have to recruit some helpers, I can't let the Mi family be responsible for serving those servants who go to the restaurant, and then I have to recruit some geisha who are good at music, recruit cooks who can cook food, drink from the restaurant and other idle things, these things You Heng doesn't want to do it yourself, so You Heng must need a few right-hand men.
The helper he wants to recruit is not a family slave, but a ranger doorman who can serve as his wings.
He is not looking for any famous generals and celebrities who can leave their names in the history books, you know, those famous people in history, he is not born to know, they are all growing up slowly in the long-term conquest and learning, and they have become enough to leave a strong mark in history, such as the more famous Guan Yu Zhang Fei in later generations, these two people are fierce generals and warriors in history, but now they are not.
Now they are not very good in martial arts and military wisdom, people are not born to be fierce generals and famous ministers, and they have to go through countless hardships and growth, they will slowly become those cattle people we are familiar with, it is undeniable that they do have places beyond ordinary people, but they can't rush to "seek talents" from the perspective of fierce generals.
He just found a few ordinary rangers, that's all, if those rangers can follow him all the way to cut through the wind and waves, who knows that the fierce generals on the Three Kingdoms in the future will not be them? The most important thing now is to make a detailed plan, so that you can determine what you should do next, you have to do these things before the chaos, open a restaurant, get capital, by the way, you can win over the Shizi Ranger, and then take the opportunity to expand the power of the Mi family, a large amount of funds and customers in hand, maybe you can also look up in this troubled world, and take a peek at the scenery above.
