Chapter 258: The Way to Make Money
People came and went on the street, Meng Yu walked on the roofs of the houses with a calm face, jumping around, very comfortable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe's so light that he doesn't make any noise even when he walks on the roof of someone else's house.
The breeze blew and blew his white hair on his face, obscuring his face.
"It's really comfortable, it's good to be able to work lightly, and it's a lot faster."
Meng Yu walked on the roof safely, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know what happened to Feng Xinyi's cloth shop and tailor's shop?" If he does well, then the next plan to make a fortune can also be done, and I don't bother to go to the court again. ”
"Since Your Majesty has a gap in my heart, I can also get out of the troubled waters of the imperial court, be my peasant son with peace of mind, and drive the people in the suburbs to make a fortune."
"However, the marriage with Changle is imminent, I still have to prepare!"
He soon came to Feng Xinyi's shop, quickly jumped off the roof, and looked at the situation inside the shop, the business was extremely prosperous.
This was the result of Meng Yu's development of an advanced weaving machine, and almost all the women in Chang'an who had nothing to do were employed by Feng Xinyi to supply his shop with a steady stream of fabric.
Feng Xinyi also purchased silk, cotton and linen from other places to weave cloth, and those fabrics were not only used to make clothes, but also supplied to the rest of the city, forming a large industrial chain.
Thanks to the advent of the textile machine, sericulture has also become a means of profit, and most farmers in Chang'an have begun to raise silkworms, which has also become a way to solve their livelihood.
Meng Yu slowly walked into the shop, and couldn't help but be surprised by the colorful fabrics inside, he hurriedly found Xiao Er and asked, "That...... Brother Tai... May I ask where is Boss Feng? ”
The little second turned around, looked at Meng Yu in shock, and said in a lost voice: "Brother Yu'er!? You're alive!! That's great! ”
Meng Yu also saw the face of this little two clearly, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Uncle Wuxing, I didn't expect it to be you, why are you here?" ”
Seeing the acquaintance, Meng Yu couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Yu, Boss Feng handed over this tailor shop to me to take care of, and he went to the cloth workshop to check the latest batch of silk and fabrics." Wu Xing hurriedly explained, and suddenly said: "Brother Yu, if you have time to come to the newspaper office, everyone thinks that something has happened to you and is very worried about you." If you have time, come over, everyone will miss you too! ”
Today's newspaper has also gained a foothold in Chang'an, charging ten cents for each copy, recording the interesting stories of the people, which is very popular with the people. The beggar gang has also developed and has been connected to the Gyeonggi Province area, which can transmit news over short distances! ”
……
After that, at noon, he explained to Meng Yu the development of the beggar gang and the newspaper, and Meng Yu also listened to it with relish, and praised him from time to time, praising his eldest brother Fang who was the leader of the beggar gang.
"Hehe, it's really incredible, I didn't expect the beggars and the newspaper to have reached this point, it's very good." Meng Yu smiled. "I'm going to the cloth shop to find Boss Feng, you go and get busy, I'll go to the newspaper to see everyone when I have time, please ask Uncle Wuxing to report safety to everyone for me!"
"Well, Brother Yu'er go and do your own thing!" Wu Xing nodded peacefully, and then watched Meng Yu leave.
After Meng Yu left, he continued to take care of everything in the tailor's shop, taking care of those who came to buy fabric, or sorting the cloth.
……
Meng Yu ran all the way, asked along the way, and finally found the newly opened cloth workshop in Chang'an, he walked in slowly, and saw that the workers inside were busy with this and that, very busy. He couldn't be disturbed, so he could only look for Feng Xinyi while watching.
I have to say that this cloth workshop is still quite good, Feng Xinyi is indeed a talent, with enough business acumen. After receiving the support of Meng Yu, he bought a lot of cloth houses and shops to expand his own industry, and at the same time cooperated with the beggar gang to suppress other cloth merchants.
Before Meng Yu left, he also promoted the concept of fish mulberry rice agriculture in the suburbs, and made Tang ploughs and looms, which greatly increased the production speed of cloth and improved farming. It can be said that to a certain extent, it has improved the lives of the poor people.
And Feng Xinyi also seized this opportunity to join forces with cotton and linen merchants in other cities to build an empire that monopolized the cloth industry in Chang'an. His fabrics are not only cheap, but also stronger, and the common people naturally like to buy his account, and because of the several sets of clothes designed by Meng Yu before leaving, Feng Xinyi was led to the royal family's house, and now, he is already the first cloth merchant in Chang'an.
Hehe! This Uncle Feng is quite smart......
Meng Yu searched all the way, and finally found Feng Xinyi in the place where the cloth was dyed, he hurriedly went over to say hello, and said, "Long time no see, Uncle Feng!" ”
When Feng Xinyi heard such a familiar voice, he couldn't help but put down the fabric of his mobile phone, turned his head and looked at Meng Yu with a shocked face, and said in a lost voice: "Ziran!? Is that you? ”
Meng Yu smiled and nodded, "It's me!" ”
Feng Xinyi was in tears, panting, and hurriedly reached out to touch Meng Yu's shoulder, and found that it was still hot, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ziran, I thought you were dead, they were all saying that you fell into a cliff, saying that you were dead, I ...... I really...... I didn't expect you to be alive..."
"Great! It's so nice to be back! ”
For Feng Xinyi, Meng Yu not only had the grace of knowing him, but also provided him with help, which allowed him to become the first cloth merchant in Chang'an. Now, seeing Meng Yu come back completely, he is a lot more relieved.
However, he also noticed Meng Yu's hair and couldn't help asking, "Ziran, what's wrong with your hair?" ”
"Huh? Oh... This is a practice gone crazy, it's okay! Meng Yu hurriedly explained, and then asked, "Uncle Feng, I have a note, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”
Feng Xinyi was puzzled and asked, "Ziran, you might as well say it directly!" ”
Meng Yu smiled awkwardly, looked up at Feng Xinyi with a serious face, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Uncle Feng, when ordinary people get married, that wedding dress is a must-have, how much does a wedding dress cost?" ”
Hearing this, Feng Xinyi was stunned at first, not knowing what Meng Yu wanted to do, but still replied: "This is definitely necessary, but wedding dresses are generally very expensive, and the cheapest is probably ten taels of silver, right?" ”
Ten taels?
Meng Yu was stunned, for him, ten taels was indeed a small number, but for those poor people, ten taels was more.
Although one shake of rice costs one hundred and thirty wen, one stone of rice is one tael of silver and three hundred wen, ordinary people also have to eat one stone of rice a year, plus other expenses, ten taels of silver a year is about the same. But think about it, they have a maximum of ten taels of silver a year, and the silver they save every year is less than one tael, and ten taels must be saved for eight or nine years.
Therefore, many people can't marry a daughter-in-law, and most of them have no money.
"Hehe, I didn't expect so much!"
Meng Yu smiled ashamedly, thinking of Chang Xi's eating and drinking along the way, but it was enough to use him about three hundred taels, which was really extravagant. He was stunned and said, "Uncle, can we rent out the wedding dress, that ...... The so-called rental is to lend someone else to wear it for a day, and then collect part of the silver, and let him return it the next day, I don't know if this is feasible? ”
Suddenly, Feng Xinyi's eyes lit up, pinched Meng Yu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Naturally!" ”
