Chapter 14: The Biography of Cao Yang XIV
The next day, Hongfu Lou re-supplied unlimited abundance every year, but strange things happened, although people were still waiting in a long line, but the people who entered the restaurant to eat were all without exception a single order of a dish that was abundant every year, and after eating, they went directly to the Fuyun Building to continue to order other dishes.

The business of Fuyun Lou suddenly became popular, it is simply a copy of Hongfu Lou a few days ago, Fuyun Lou not only tastes slightly better, but more importantly, it is all a single fold! Most of the people who come and go to Juancheng County are businessmen, and it is their nature to seek profits, who will choose expensive and inferior dishes? That's because of this strange scene.
Han Lang only has the loss-making dish that can be sold every day, because he bought all the taro with the money on hand, even if he wants to compete at a discount, he is powerless, so he closed after less than half a month of operation.
Zhao Teng admired Cao Yang at this time, and in just over a month, he not only turned himself into a safe place, but also swallowed Hongfulou, which almost forced himself to bankrupt, and now he has been operating at a loss for a month, not only has his savings not decreased, but he has also earned more than double.
In Cao Yang's words, this is called "capital operation", buy all the taro and sell it three times, the natural assets will triple, and money can make money, so the richer the richer the richer the less rich the richer the less money the more unrich.
Zhao Teng gave half of the money he earned to Cao Yang, Cao Yang did not shirk, with his savage business skills began to swallow up other rice shops, silk shops and other shops in Juancheng County, his first small household, the negotiation strategy is very simple, was annexed or squeezed by the low-price strategy, and most merchants will not hesitate to choose the former when faced with such a choice, because this can not only get a lot of money, but also can still continue to operate the store, and at the same time can also share the dividends of thirty percent.
This kind of joint-stock system is the first time in ancient times, although many large households are not very acceptable, but Cao Yang does not care, because with his current strength, he can only merge some small households, and gradually his business is getting bigger and bigger, and almost all of them are operated by others, and they only need to collect dividends on a monthly basis to earn a lot of money.
Cao Yang in order to expand the business and even began to borrow to expand, he borrowed a large amount of money from Zhao Teng and other merchants, and then promised to return three percent every month, a total of four months, so that it is equivalent to a total of two percent more interest, all the businessmen are full of confidence in Cao Yang are happy to borrow, and now in just a few months, not only Juancheng County, but even Dong'e, Fan County, and Xiaqiu have all become part of Cao Yang's business network, as if he has become a well-known giant in Yanzhou's business community!
On this day, he had nothing to do, so he went to visit Zhao Teng, who saw that it was Cao Yang, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, greeted him with a smile, and said: "How can Cao Gongzi come to the cold house today!" ”
Cao Yang said in his heart: "Of course, life in ancient times was too boring, especially at night, there was almost nothing to do except look at the stars!" Even during the day, it's so idle! But even if Zhao Teng said these words, he couldn't understand them, he looked around, and saw that Zhao Teng was sending people to dig something on the ground, the whole yard was full of turned out of the dirt, and there was almost nowhere to put his feet, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Zhao, what are you doing?" How can you say that a good yard is dug and dug? ”
Zhao Teng mysteriously pulled Cao Yang aside, and said in his ear: "This matter is also asked by Cao Gongzi, otherwise it must be said that he is replanting the garden, but in fact, he is really hiding some money!" ”
Cao Yang learned from Zhao Teng's appearance and whispered: "What money is hidden?" Could it be Brother Zhao's private money? Don't worry, I won't tell you about it! "Zhao Teng is only in charge of Zhao's property in Juancheng County, in fact, the money earned by the restaurant does not belong to him, he just has the right to operate, and the owner has someone else.
Zhao Teng was stunned: "What private money?" Then he figured out that Cao Yang thought that he had embezzled the owner's money, and he was afraid that people would find out, so he seemed to be hiding here, and he couldn't help but say with a sullen face: "Who are you and Zhao Teng?" How can you do such a thing? ”
Cao Yang hurriedly apologized: "It's a gaffe, Brother Zhao is righteous, and I have always admired it tightly, and I hope that Brother Zhao will forgive him..." Is there anything wrong with the silver being locked up in the storehouse? Why is it so troublesome to bury it in the ground, and if it is useful in the future, it will have to dig three feet into the ground and then take it out? ”
Zhao Teng waved his hand and said: "Childe doesn't know, today is different from the past, if it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, it is naturally not impossible to store these silver taels in the treasury, but now Yanzhou is worried about internal and external troubles, the Black Mountain Army in the north, and the Yellow Turban thieves in the east often attack the county and rob the township, if they attack it, the treasury must not be looted?" Naturally, it is safer to hide! ”
He pointed to the ruined courtyard and said, "After the belongings are buried, some flowers and plants will be planted on them, and even if the thieves break in, they will never think that there is so much money hidden in the garden!" After speaking, he smiled smugly.
Cao Yang nodded thoughtfully: There were no banks in ancient times, this matter is indeed rare, silver is heavy, and it takes up space, it is really unrealistic to carry it around, it is more secure to hide, and it is no wonder that the capital operation in ancient times was so underdeveloped, it turned out that the way of currency circulation was too troublesome! Like in modern times, a large transaction can be done just by writing a check. He quit Zhao Teng and hurried back to his mansion.
Now Cao Yang's net worth has doubled, he bought a big house in the east of the city, and added some maidservants, he is already a local tyrant, and the only fly in the ointment is that he is not accompanied by a beauty, which makes him feel very lost.
Nowadays, although there are some good-looking handmaidens in the house, they see Cao Yang like a chicken meeting an eagle, always trembling, probably the means of picking up girls in ancient and modern times are far apart, Cao Yang occasionally laughs casually, but those handmaidens always ignore it, looking ignorant, this situation Cao Yang is still the first time to see, and he can't always overlord himself with a bow, so in the end, he simply ignored it.
Cao Yang learned from Zhao Teng's example, ordered someone to dig a few big pits on the ground of his bedroom, and then took advantage of the night to wrap the silver in oil paper, transported it to the pit little by little, and then refilled the soil, so he secretly worked all night, and the next day he was sore, and he was in bed for a long time.
After a few more days, a sudden sound of war drums broke the tranquility of Juancheng County.
