?? Ji Ning through the end of this period of time, the big families in the capital need the Spring Festival couplets of the small seal font, or the sacrifice of the small seal, through scattered business, earn back more than 18,000 taels of silver, this is only a very small part of the small seal business in the city, Ji Ning analyzed, just a year of demand for small seals in the capital, may cost more than one million taels of silver. Nature's Sounds

After getting the silver, Ji Ning also has to think about the map and investment.

He called Lin Yi to the main hall and inquired in detail about raising the gang in recent times, and learned that the number of the gang below was almost two hundred, but these people had not officially joined, but worked under the original foreman or gang.

“…… Master, you may not know that the gang power in the capital is not as big as you imagined, some small gangs are very messy, and it is easy for the brothers to get in and out, which is in line with the saying, if the gang has no interests to be made, those gangs will soon fall apart. Lin Yi explained, "For a long time after the year, until the end of February, many gangs in the capital had no business, and at that time, the gangs were more dispersed, and then these brothers officially joined our side!" ”

Ji Ning nodded and said, "Well, you did a good job." Now it's almost time to give our gang a bright name, it's called the Whale Gang, you are the leader of the gang, and the brothers will work with you in the future, and I will provide you with the business and earn fifty percent of the money! ”

"No, sir, the villain is just to help you do things. You also know that the villain is just a mustard, if you come out to be a gang, you can't do it without the protection of the master, the master is the leader! If the villain has no money, how can he share the money he earns? Lin Yi is still very familiar with each other in this regard.

"Then let's do it, every year, I will give you a hundred taels of money, plus the net profit from the business of the Giant Whale Gang, if you do well, you can also divide a few hundred taels of silver a year, how much money you make is not a problem, the most important thing is to let the brothers have something to eat, and if you need the brothers to come out to do something, you can stand up!" Ji Ning said.

Lin Yi was puzzled: "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

"It's just that it can be of great use, not to let them replace crimes, but to support the face of the Jianghu sect in the capital, and we can collect some fights on the rivers and lakes in the future, and let them help us do things. These things can be carried out slowly, and now the most important thing is to spread out the business first, and there are more contacts between the warehouse and the ferry, as well as the boat shop and the carriage and horse shop, and more people to lobby, if they can't be put under our business, the small gang can't be developed! ”

Ji Ning is very mindful of the times, he is good at doing business, although he didn't want to get involved in these ninth-rate businesses before, but in order for him to better survive and develop in this world, he also has to make chapters on the ninth-rate issues that others look down on.

Ji Ning took out another five hundred taels of silver and said, "These silvers are also prepared for you, and when the position of the main altar is established before the end of the year, these silvers will be carried over first, and they will meet with the brothers, and they always need some greeting gifts!" ”

Lin Yi said: "Master, you gave a lot before. ”

"Those are those, these are these, remember, to show the brothers who can be trusted, you can make them have a heart-to-heart relationship, if you can't do this, slowly weed out that kind of unrighteous people!" Ji Ning said.

"Yes, sir, the villain knows how to do it." Lin Yi saluted respectfully.

……

……

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the weather was very cold, and a heavy snow fell, and the capital was already cold and cold.

Ji Ning was not very accustomed to the weather in the north before, which will make his body begin to adapt a little, but he still has to wear his self-made "down jacket" when he goes out every day, although this down jacket looks a little old in the fabric, and it looks very bloated when people wear it, but it looks very light when walking, and more importantly, it is warm.

When he walked outside for a while, he would be sweaty, and at the same time, even Lin Yi, who was born and raised in the cold weather in the north, would still be shivering in the cold wind.

That's the gap.

"Lin Er, go back and ask someone to make one for you, let you try it!" Ji Ning said.

Lin Yi hurriedly said: "The master is laughing, the villain doesn't need ......"

Ji Ning smiled, didn't explain much, and took Lin Yi to a small chamber of commerce to contact the place, and he took Lin Yi out this day to discuss the issue of leasing and buying a venue.

The new Whale Gang needs a place to serve as a main altar, and by the way, they also need to buy some wagons to come back for transporting goods, and they also need to buy some tables, chairs and benches, all of which require silver.

By the way, Ji Ning is also going to buy some fields, because Ji Ning is now, there was a drought in some places around the capital in the autumn of that year, so the land price in the capital is not very high, if it comes to the next year, the price of land will definitely rise, if he is admitted to the Jinshi to stay in the capital, and then buy fields, he may have to pay a greater price than now.

The person who received Ji Ning was a famous merchant in the capital flute, and he was also commonly known as the tooth man, named Song Zhuhe.

But said that this Song Zhuhe, can be said to be the kind of old connoisseur who has been in the tooth man business for decades, and the fields and sites that help people introduce the trade can be almost the size of a capital, Ji Ning found him, and he was also introduced by Lin Yi, Lin Yi was very envious of this Song Zhuhe at the beginning, Lin Yi was engaged in the tooth man industry, and he also wanted to follow in the footsteps of Song Zhuhe.

“…… Master Ji, the land you want to buy has already been placed for you, a total of ten acres of fields, all of which have been planted for several years of mature fields, even into patches, and the corners are good. The seller heard that Master Ji is a lifter, so he especially explained that he didn't need to ask for too high a price, one acre of land can be given fifteen taels of silver, and the ten acres of land are a total of four hundred and fifty taels, plus ten taels of silver from the contemptible people, you have to take out a total of four hundred and sixty taels! "Song Zhuhe came up and told Ji Ning about buying land first.

Ji Ning knew that the price of the fields around the capital, the price of one mu of land ranged from six taels of silver to twenty taels of silver, and fifteen taels of silver was already a very good field, and he looked at the location of those fields, all of them were very close to the capital, he had a scale in his heart, and after a comprehensive comparison, the appreciation space of these fields was still okay, because looking back at the area outside the capital city near the city wall, there would also be people who would show the streets and alleys of the households, and even build the outer city, and the price of the ten acres of land might soar at that time.

"Good!" Ji Ning nodded, "The deal is settled, this is a deposit of two hundred and ten taels, and the rest will be paid together when the transaction is made!" ”
