Chapter 7: Eight Night Thieves
Wu Zhao is not a stupid person, but an extremely smart person, as someone who has tasted this tea with his own mouth, how can he not see the profit behind this tea. If it is opened, let the tea become popular throughout the Tang Dynasty.
The profit behind this is not just something that can be described in two words, it is the word horror.
In the face of this kind of profit that everyone is jealous of, Du He doesn't do it herself, but gives everything to her, she really can't figure it out, and she doesn't know what Du He is thinking and what is his idea?
Du He looked into her eyes, knowing the doubts in her eyes, and smiled sincerely: "I was born into a family of eunuchs, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty prohibit officials from doing business. I have a heart for it, but I can't do anything about it. So I need a partner, a partner who is trustworthy and capable, and Miss Wu has a talent that is not inferior to any man, and she is also trustworthy, which is the best choice. ”
Wu Zhao's eyes fluttered when he heard this, his pink cheeks were flushed, but he was seven points shy, three points happy, and the hand holding the teacup was clenched tightly, "Childe really believes me?" ”
"It's nature!" Du He gave an affirmative answer to Wu Zhao's question.
Wu Zhao smiled and said affirmatively: "I, Wu Zhao, will live up to the trust of my son!" She nodded vigorously as she spoke, expressing her determination.
In fact, Du He's thinking is not complicated, he just wants to help Wu Zhao.
Because of his appearance, Wu Zhao's fate has changed, and it is impossible for the historical empress Wu Zetian to appear. It was also a great pleasure for him to destroy a female emperor and create a financial empress.
As for whether to make money or not, Du He doesn't care so much, he has an immunity to money and things, and he doesn't look at these yellow and white things in his eyes. Otherwise, with his stealing methods, he only needs to do a few business-free transactions, and he would have become a rich man long ago.
Wu Zhao had to think carefully, especially the distribution of interests was more important, and he groaned for a while: "The final profit is divided into four or six accounts, and the son occupies forty percent, can I have any objections?" ”
Du He smiled: "Will there be more!" ”
Trust is not a word, let alone a few words, and then you give everything to the other person, without asking at all. This kind of practice is stupid, ignorance, ignorance, and not trust at all. True trust is to talk about everything openly, without any concealment, any deception, seeking truth from facts, doing what should be done, only in this way can we really understand each other, in order to truly trust each other.
Otherwise, there are too many secrets between each other, how can they be completely trusted?
Brothers, settle accounts, that's the truth.
Although he doesn't care about the amount of money, he still appreciates Wu Zhao's way of doing things.
It's just that I feel that I seem to be taking advantage, and my role is just to conspire, and because of my identity, I can't directly participate in it. Therefore, recruiting manpower, paying salaries, buying shops, etc., all need Wu Zhao to do it, and he is the one who is in charge of the shopkeeper, accounting for forty percent of them, how can I feel that it is more.
"No more, no more!" Wu Zhao laughed weirdly: "How can it be more, Du Gongzi's talent is world-renowned, amazing, when the store is completed, Du Gongzi wrote a poem, for the new store to make a name for the new store, it is best to send some to Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty likes it, why worry about the business can not be bigger." ”
Du He was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, you...... Miss Wu, she even counted me in. "This Wu Zhao really deserves to be a businessman's material, and it has been seen that the real consumer group of tea is also among the literati and scholars, and it is the best drink used to entertain guests.
As long as he is a famous genius in Chang'an, he "composes a poem" and circulates it, which is undoubtedly the best publicity, and it is even more so when he sends tea to Li Shimin. Just ask Huang Yanjing if he likes it, who else would say it's bad?
"Make the best use of your talents and make the best use of things, Du Gongzi must not be blamed!" Wu Zhao's demeanor is three points coquettish, three points naughty, and three points cunning.
As soon as the words came out, Du He was already laughing: "A good person makes the best use of his talents and makes the best use of things, Miss Wu said this, which is enough to prove that I am not wrong!" ”
Wu Zhao covered his mouth and chuckled, but said slowly: "Since we think we are allies, don't we seem to be angry?" ”
Du He didn't think about this, and when she mentioned it, he felt that it made some sense, so he smiled and said: "Then you can just me Qinglian, or Brother Du, it's better to love brother!" ”
Wu Zhao heard the flowers in his mouth, his face turned red, and he shouted: "Brother Du! Then he lowered his head.
Du He smiled secretly in his heart, but asked, "Then what do I call you?" Zhao'er, it doesn't sound good, why don't I get one for you, how about it? ”
Wu Zhao's heart moved, the status of female surnames in the Tang Dynasty was still relatively low, women who did not choose names abounded, and the name Wu Zhao was also taken by herself casually, secretly hoping that she could illuminate the earth like the sun, and when she heard that Du He wanted to give her a name, she also showed a smile and did not object.
"Mei Niang, just call you Mei Niang!" Du He intended to give her a nice name, but after thinking about it, he still felt that Li Shimin obtained the name Wu Meiniang as the most classic.
"Mei Niang, Wu Mei Niang...... Mei Niang, Wu Mei Niang! Wu Zhao read a few words to himself, his pretty eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Good name, I like it very much!" From now on, I will be called Wu Meiniang! ”
Wu Zhao, no, it should be called Wu Meiniang now.
Wu Meiniang arrived at a thousand blessings and said with a smile: "Meiniang Xie Luo's eldest brother has given her name!" ”
The two sat down again, discussed the matter of tea in detail, and told her to do some details.
"There are fifty acres of tea plantations in Wannian County, which grow quite well. Mei Niang, you can buy it first, and then experiment to try to do the best. In addition, as far as I know, there are two places in my Datang where the tea is particularly good. They are Hangzhou West Lake Longjing, Suzhou Dongting Biluochun, now tea is not valued, these tea gardens should not be very expensive, can buy it, I am sure, buy the tea garden only make money. If you don't have enough money, I'll take care of it here. ”
Wu Meiniang wrote them down one by one, and said after a moment: "Not long after the new opening of the Drunken Immortal Fang, although it is said to enter the golden bucket, there is not much money and goods that can be used to squander it...... "She was not polite to Du He, and borrowed three thousand silver cakes as soon as she opened her mouth.
There are a lot of three thousand silver cakes, but Du He also took them out, and he added two thousand arrogantly, so that Wu Meiniang could buy a little more.
Du He is so generous, and he also lost the big gamble before the birthday of the eldest grandson queen. Li Jingye and Cheng Chuliang owed a huge amount of money, Du He was too lazy to embarrass them, as for other people who were willing to gamble and lose but couldn't help but pay it back, they also repaid him nearly 8,000 taels of silver cakes.
It's all his private money.
5,000 silver cakes are equivalent to 20 million yuan in later generations, which is enough for a well-off family to live comfortably for several lifetimes. Du He said that he would borrow it, and that trust made Wu Meiniang speechless.
Du He didn't care, he didn't believe that the future empress of the dignified generation would be willing to hide in order to covet his five thousand taels of silver, and lived a life of stealing chickens and dogs, and did nothing from then on.
At this moment, there was a commotion downstairs, but the sound was Luo Tong, Fang Yiai, the Li brothers and others.
looked out the window and saw that night had fallen, and unconsciously, Du He and Wu Meiniang had been together for an hour, no wonder they would come to find themselves.
Wu Meiniang also understood that Du He was leaving, and her face was reluctant.
Du He was also faintly reluctant to leave in his heart, chatting with a talented person like Wu Meiniang was a very interesting thing, but he had to leave. Seeing the reluctance on her face, she smiled and said, "If you have time, I'll come and chat with you again!" ”
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she also smiled slightly, and whispered three words: "I'll wait for you!" ”
When I came downstairs, I saw Luo Tong, Fang Yiai and others, and told me again and again: "I met an old friend, and I forgot the time unconsciously in this chat, and I was tired and worried." ”
Seeing that Du He was unharmed, Luo Tong and Fang Yiai also relieved themselves and didn't say anything.
The group returned to the private room again, anyway, it was a dinner that didn't cost money, and they didn't plan to leave for a while, and continued to go back to the private room to eat and drink. It wasn't until I got drunk or I couldn't hold it anymore that I stopped waiting.
Du He didn't eat much, just tasted it properly, and didn't eat it many times, in case he had indigestion, because he still had important things to do in the evening.
The other group was "full of feet" and staggered home.
Du He did not go back to the house directly, but turned to the dark, disguised slightly, rode a horse around the place, asked clearly about the residence of several clansmen and stewards of the Helan family, and then returned to the mansion leisurely, pretended to sleep after freshening up, and meditated until the early hours of the morning, he found the night clothes, and left the Cai Guogong Mansion silently.
Today, I heard Wu Meiniang talk about the Helan family, and I was worried about those clan relatives and stewards who took advantage of people's danger and bullied women and children.
It is a terrible thing to keep a thief in mind, but to make a thief think about it, it is a complete cup.
The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the day is on fire!
In this starry and moonless night, a black shadow shuttled through the alleys, the shadow was extremely fast, like a galloping horse, but it landed silently, and in the high-speed action, even the leaves on the ground did not blow a single piece.
The black shadow circled around and came to a mansion, looked at the wall that was no more than two meters high, smiled disdainfully, and jumped in.
After a while, the black shadow jumped out with a large bag on his back, and then the black shadow did not make any stops, and turned to another mansion.
The next day, the whole Chang'an exploded!
As the national capital, Chang'an is known for its public security.
But this night, the eight houses of Helan's family were stolen continuously, and all valuable and valuable things were looted and emptied, and the thief also left a short letter openly:
The villain throws money; The thief stepped on the moon and stayed fragrant!
