45. Buy a Zhuangzi grain and oil shop
(Today's fourth watch is delivered, brothers!) It is the critical moment of the list, every click and every recommendation of you is very important to me, please continue to support it!
It's still the same sentence, as long as you go to the home page, you will immediately add five more outbreaks. )
The newly built Yanjing City, compared with the original to the southeast, northwest and northwest is expanded by five miles, the area has expanded more than twice as much, the place is large, the living area is also spacious, the major wealthy eunuchs are all building large, expanding their mansions, occupying the best location in the city, so they squeezed some storefronts to not very good locations - where is the bad location of Yanjing City?
First, it is counted under the city walls, and this kind of place, for eight months of the year, does not see the sun, and is not suitable for people at all. Second, it is around the Imperial City, it stands to reason that someone wants to ask, relying on the Imperial City, how rich is it at the feet of the veritable Son of Heaven? In fact, otherwise, the small family may still think so, but the big family definitely doesn't want to be too close to the emperor, think, they are building a lot of construction in the mansion, and one by one the mansion is built into a magnificent palace, what will the emperor think if he sees it when he is in the Forbidden City?
Ten years ago, Yan Guofan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, didn't he offend the eunuchs in the palace because he built the mansion too beautifully, but the emperor saw it when he climbed Wanshou Mountain and asked, yo, it's very beautiful there, whose mansion is it? Those eunuchs took the opportunity to apply eye medicine next to them, and when they saw the result, the emperor was furious, and said in his heart that your mansion is more luxurious than Lao Tzu's Forbidden City, what do you want to do? It didn't take long for poor Lord Yan to be reprimanded and go home to eat old corn.
The past life can be traced, and the officials naturally don't want to follow in their footsteps, so they are far away from the imperial city, so that around the imperial city, a circle of commercial streets has arisen - the officials are afraid, and the businessmen are not afraid! There are 10,000 eunuchs in the palace, more than 8,000 palace maids, plus those sword officers of the avant-garde of the government army, the Han generals of the Jinyi Guard, and the banner guards of the Bannerman Guard - these people, who are commonly known as the Great Inner Guards, are afraid of no less than four or five thousand people, and in addition, what departments and institutions such as the 24 Eunuchs of the Inner Court, the Yamen, and the Guanglu Temple are also in there, adding up to tens of thousands of people, and they are not allowed to eat, drink, and sleep?
These people have formed a group of very potential consumer power, so in that area, there are now also some commercial streets.
Crutch Hutong is one of them, Lian Zining and the two walked for more than half an hour to get here, he took a look, this street is full of people, so lively, and the shops on both sides are grain and oil shops, silk villages, money villages, restaurants and so on.
"Brother Lian, you see, although this street is not as prosperous as Zhengyangmen Street and Zhang Xianggongmiao Street, it is not much worse, and it is rare that it is close to the imperial city, and there are often palace maids and eunuchs who come here, so those brocade clothes and green skins are squeezed lightly. With this layer of relationship, the benefits are also very objective. Seeing Lian Zining nodded, Yu Susu continued: "Now in business, the most profitable thing to say is naturally nothing more than three ways, the first smuggling, and trading with the Mongols!" Second, salt merchants and mining! Third, take the sea route, three roads, the first one is in Quanzhou Port, Fujian, far away to Tianfang and Daqin! Article 2 Zhangzhou Moon Port in Fujian, go to the South Seas! The third road, Ningbo Port, is the only way to do business with North Korea! ”
Lian Zining's face turned green when he heard this, and Yu Susu smiled: "Of course, with Brother Lian's current strength, you don't have to think about these things, let's talk about something reliable." I will also give you three ways to choose, first, take out the capital, rent a boat, and go south and north to do transportation. Second, grain and oil shops. Third, the silk Zhuangzi. These three, the cost is not much, even your thousand taels are enough, and the money is fast, even if it is the slowest luck, a few times a year, you can recover the book in less than half a year. ”
Lian Zining nodded: "I have to think about this." ”
Yu Susu nodded: "Let's see first!" ”
Along the way, Lian Zining also found some interesting phenomena, those grain and oil shops, there are always doors, there are many people, and there is an endless stream, of course, most of them are ordinary people wearing short green shirts. In the silk Zhuangzi, there are only two or three people coming in and out, but these people are almost all richly dressed, and there are carriages and horses in and out, which is obviously either rich or expensive.
Yu Susu also saw it, so he said: "Tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, these are inseparable from anyone, so the business of the grain and oil shop and rice village is good, and there are many businesses every day, but the profit of a single transaction is thin." And the silk village, especially the high-end silk village that operates Shu brocade and Su embroidery, can make a lot of profit if it is not opened. There are pros and cons to both, it depends on how you choose, Brother Lian. ”
Lian Zining looked at it for a while, and suddenly an idea popped up in his heart: "Miss Yu, you say, if I buy a Zhuangzi outside the city and open a shop for grain, oil, melons, fruits and vegetables in the city, will this be possible?" ”
"Absolutely!" Yu Susu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that although Brother Lian, although you are not very old, it is the time to forge ahead, but you are still very calm and calm." This is the most stable way to operate, produce and sell by yourself, and do not seek from others. If you catch up with some disaster year such as a major drought and flood, you will not be able to make a lot of money by hoarding. ”
Lian Zining was sweating profusely when he heard it, if he was placed in the future generations, such behavior as hoarding Juqi would also be vigorously suppressed by the political axe, but Yu Susu said it like this, but there was no pressure. It can be seen that he is indeed a qualified businessman.
"Miss Yu, do you know out-of-season vegetables? Uh, for example, cucumbers that should ripen in June can be eaten in winter? That's what it means. Lian Zining asked again, afraid that Yu Susu didn't understand, and explained.
"Out-of-season vegetables? This name is novel, hey, it's so troublesome, isn't it a warm hole? It's like I don't know. Yu Susu pursed her lips and said, her eyes lit up: "What, Brother Lian, do you want to do this?" ”
Lian Zining nodded: "Please also ask Miss Yu to tell me how the market is, it will definitely not be possible now, but it is better to prepare early." ”
After Yu Susu said something, Lian Zining became more determined in his thoughts.
Lian Zining's idea is actually to buy a piece of land outside the city, and then operate out-of-season vegetables there - don't think that there are no out-of-season vegetables in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, as far back as the Han Dynasty, out-of-season vegetables have appeared, and it is not uncommon for the rich and noble families of the Ming Dynasty to have one or two bright cucumbers and red tomatoes on the dinner table in winter. However, at this time, the out-of-season vegetables are artificially cultivated, the cost is extremely high, and the quantity is scarce, just take the small cucumber as an example, one or two silver a piece, don't want to buy it? I don't want to buy it, some people want to buy it!
In the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver and two stones of rice, a cow was only three taels of silver, and an acre of good water outside the Guangrao Gate of Yanjing City was only four or five taels of silver, and a few cucumbers went down, and a cow and an acre of land were gone, who was willing to eat?
