Chapter 47: Master Tian

"My lord, I heard that the shampoo shop in our county has a good income!"

“…… Shampoo? …… Oh, doesn't that store pay its taxes on time every month? ”

In the back hall of the Tang County Office, Master Tian pinched Zhao County's shoulder, and Zhao County's order was lazily half-lying on the recliner, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked like he was enjoying himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"But my lord, the business of that store is very good, and ...... is the same as the young man named Lewen and the Shangguan family last time."

"Of course the county knows that his store is doing well, do you have any attention?"

Zhao Xianling slowly opened his eyelids, glanced at Master Tian's sly expression and asked.

"My lord, why don't you increase the business tax on his shop."

"You think the county doesn't want to, but this store was co-founded by the Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family gives the county a lot of benefits every year, how can the county still pluck his hair."

"My lord, this is a piece of fat, if we can get a kick in it, we will definitely reap a lot of benefits."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, if it is done, the county will definitely reward you."

"My lord, obey ......"

Seeing that the county magistrate agreed, Master Tian showed a trace of greed in his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and then took the two officials to Lewen's shampoo shop.

The clerk of the shampoo shop saw Master Tian enter the store with two servants, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and asked, "Official?" What's the matter with you? ”

Master Tian saw that there was no Lewen in the store, so he asked arrogantly, "What about you Le's shopkeeper?" ”

"Oh...... Wait a minute. The clerk saw that Master Tian was not good, and hurriedly ran to the workshop in the backyard.

The clerk entered the workshop and saw that Lewen was preparing raw materials, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Le, there are three officials who have come to the store, it seems that they are looking for trouble." ”

"Okay, I see, you go and reply to them first, I'll be there right away." Le Wen glanced at the panicked expression and said lightly.

"Yes......" The clerk saw that Lewen's face was not moved at all, and his heart was relieved, so he turned around and walked out of the workshop.

"Yo...... Shopkeeper Le is here......" Master Tian saw Le Wen coming from the backyard, and said with a treacherous smile.

Le Wen looked at Master Tian's treacherous expression, and knew that Master Tian was not good, so he hugged his fists and saluted: "Master Tian can come to the small shop, it really shines for the small shop, I don't know what Master Tian commands?" ”

"Huh...... Don't dare to be the order, now the shopkeeper is leaning on a big tree, the so-called big tree is good under the shade, I don't know if Le Gongzi wants to rely on a big tree again? ”

Master Tian waved his hand, looked at Lewen, and said with a mysterious smile.

"Leaning on a big tree? Xiaosheng doesn't know what Master Tian means by this? Of course, Lewen knew what Master Tian meant, but he just pretended not to know.

"Isn't the shopkeeper joking? The person who can invent such a thing as shampoo must have extraordinary intelligence, since Le Gongzi pretended to be confused, then this master will get straight to the point and say it directly. Master Tian touched the mustache on his lips and said with a smile.

"Then there is Master Lao Tian, explain the ...... to Xiaosheng" Le Wen smiled faintly.

Master Tian was unhappy when he saw that Le Wen was so uninteresting, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Recently, the imperial treasury has been empty, and the border has been fighting for many years, and it is urgent to prepare silver taels. ”

When Le Wen heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of reason is this, it is obvious that the business in his store is booming, and his eyes are red, the imperial court needs to prepare silver taels, and the county order of Tang County will take him under the knife, if he really makes a lot of money, it would be fine, but now he has not even paid off the debts he owes, and the county order of Zhao County wants to exploit him, which really makes him cry and laugh, and he deeply feels that the ancient businessmen are really too statusless.

"This store is funded by the Shangguan family, if there is something, Master Tian should still find the Shangguan family, Xiaosheng will not send it, send it off."

Since they clearly came to ask for money, let them go to Shangguan's house to ask for it, he didn't bother to care about it, there was no need to talk so much to this dog, and after saying it politely, he asked the clerk to send the customer.

"You...... It's good that you are Lewen, you dare to expel this master, well, you have a kind of ,...... We'll see. "Although Master Tian took two servants, he didn't have any guilt in treating Lewen, so he could only go to Shangguan's house angrily.

Although the shampoo is profitable, the sales are not too good, because it is all made manually, there is no machine, and he will not do any machine, so the cost is relatively high, if it is too cheap, it will not make money, but it is slightly expensive, and it can only be used by rich families.

At first, because many people were curious, as long as they had some money in their hands to buy shampoo, they would buy it, so it sold very well, but after a long time, the sales were not very good.

Shangguan is scheming, he doesn't observe how to expand production rashly for a few months, ancient times are not better than modern times, the transportation is very inconvenient, and it is not only expensive to promote the shampoo, but also the promotion speed will be very slow, not a few years to promote, the products can not go out of Dingzhou, unlike modern times, what new products, advertise, you can promote it immediately.

Master Tian went to Shangguan's house, and Master Shangguan was also a hot entertainer at first, but as soon as he heard that Master Tian was here to raise money, he made up a reason to say that the capital turnover was not working, and several merchants still owed them money, if Master Tian could help him get the arrears back, he would be willing to raise money and food for the imperial court.

Who is Master Tian, he doesn't have long hair, if he has hair that is better than a monkey, wouldn't he know, let him help the Shangguan family to collect the arrears, it will be more difficult than going to die, see that there is no sweetness in the Shangguan family, so he can only return with a disgraced face.

When Master Shangguan saw that Master Tian was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the shampoo shop to find Lewen.

"Young Master Le, you better sell the secret recipe to the old man, you see that the people in the government are looking for trouble." Master Shangguan said when he saw Le Wen.

Le Wen knew that Master Tian had gone to Shangguan's house, and Master Shangguan would come to him, which was what he wanted, so he said lightly: "The secret recipe for shampoo is given to you, and you can't make it, but I can provide you with the most important raw material for shampoo every year, and you only need to give me half of the net profit every year." ”

"Important raw materials? What is it? "Master Shangguan has long known that Lewen has a kind of raw material, but he doesn't know what this ingredient is called, and he doesn't know how it is prepared, but he knows that without this ingredient, shampoo can't be made at all.
