Shangyuan Festival is the Lantern Festival, once the Shangyuan Festival is over, the atmosphere in the market has also changed from celebration to daily life.

Zhao Jiaren's wife was pregnant at this time, which caused a lot of changes in the family. The old man and his mother-in-law came to Quanzhou to visit Qin Yuzhen. After reading it, the old mother-in-law stayed in Quanzhou.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head. Zhao Jiaren said goodbye to his wife happily in the morning and went to work. Leaving the house, he felt lighter. Although it is no longer in the 21st century, many of the ideas that have been developed in the 21st century have taken root. Zhao Jiaren doesn't like the sudden appearance of so many people in his family.

But this is the Great Song Dynasty and not New China, and the Great Song Dynasty has no electricity, no running water, no natural gas, and life is not convenient at all. In the 21st century, the sisters can easily live on their own, in the Great Song Dynasty, chopping wood, carrying water, and lighting fires are all individual work. There is not enough labor at home, and life is not easy. There is enough labor in the family, and there are management problems. From this point of view, eating in the canteen can indeed greatly solve the problem of eating.

When I arrived at the Yamen, I saw the report sent by Qi Ye. According to the report, more and more people have defected to Zhao Jiaren recently. These people are newcomers, they don't need much money, just give them food. However, after people get together, it directly causes the cost of firewood to skyrocket. 35xs Qiye means simply buy a piece of mountain land with forests and cut firewood by yourself.

Zhao Jiaren was very dissatisfied with this suggestion, and chopping wood was never Zhao Jiaren's favorite solution. What he really wanted was to be able to mine coal and use honeycomb coal. He had been thinking about coal mines for several years, and as a native of Anhui Province in New China, Zhao Jiaren naturally knew a lot about coal mining areas. But most of these coal mines are north of the Yangtze River, and in the 21st century, foreign coal is used, the famous Hongji Coal Mine.

But Zhao Jiaren does not have the ability to mine and transport these mines now, and even if he sends ships to the Hongji mine, it will take time to gain a foothold there. Not to mention sending a lot of manpower to develop there.

If you can't get the Hongji Coal Mine for the time being, you can only consider mining coal in the Great Song Dynasty. Most of the coal mines in the Great Song Dynasty were in Jiangxi, and it took thousands of miles to move to Fujian.

Recently, news about Japan arrived, Hu Yuelian and the others had entered Heiankyo and officially met the Japanese shogun Kujo Choshi. And a formal gift was given. Cotton, mirrors, and perfume caused quite a stir in Heian Kyoto. The shogun Kujo Nagashi agreed in principle to engage in more trade with the northeastern province of Zhao Jiaren. Including selling coal from Kyushu to Zhao Jiaren.

Thinking that the desolate Jeju Island was all used with coal, and that Quanzhou, the famous seaport city on the earth, was still burning wood at this time, Zhao Jiaren was extremely annoyed in his heart. Flash Dance.

It is not suitable to sell coal from Jiangxi for thousands of miles, and Zhao Jiaren can only hit his old friend Xu Yuanzhi with his idea in the end. Since Xu Yuanzhi became the governor of Guangzhou, the cooperation between the two sides on the lighthouse has been very smooth. At this time, this old man has to use his ability as a pacification envoy of Guangnan East Road to see if he can get the coal mine in Shaoguan, Guangdong. This is the only Guangdong coal mine that Zhao Jiaren knows, and Zhao Jiaren doesn't know where the coal mine is or what kind of coal it is.

wrote the letter with a depressed mood, and Zhao Jiaren didn't have time to catch his breath. Qi Ye actually came. Seeing Zhao Jiaren, Qi Ye asked, "Zhao Zhizhou." Are you really going to get those outsiders to join our fleet? What if they learn the secrets of our fleet and start their own stoves? ”

Generally speaking, when Qi Ye is in a good mood, he will call Zhao Jiaren Brother Zhao. If Qi Ye was in a bad mood, he would call Zhao Zhizhou such an official title. It can be seen that Qi Ye is in a bad mood now.

Zhao Jiaren didn't comfort Qi Ye, he replied directly: "I asked you to establish a money bank just to promote a new business model. In business, since you want to make money, you might as well set the rules. As for those people who learned our secrets, I don't think they can really start a new thing. If they don't follow us, they will perish because they have too little capital. ”

"Too little capital?" Qi Ye's eyes lit up. These words seemed to point out a direction that Qi Ye had never considered, freeing him from his depression.

Zhao Jiaren explained: "We have a lot of capital, and our business can go from Jeju Island to Cochin, and now we have achieved the Wa Kingdom. Don't look at some routes that are very biased, but the profits are huge. Flipping hands can be ten times the profit. Brother Qi, we can not only make money in the shipping business, but also make mosquito coils, cotton cloth, and perfume by ourselves. All we want is to ship the product to where we want it to go. That's the most profitable part. As for shipping, we share the profits as a whole, even if it is a very small amount of money for shipping, in fact, we don't lose money. But those fleets that run small capitals, all their profits depend on the transportation of goods. Let them lose three months, and they will probably be able to hold on. Let them lose half a year, but they are afraid that their ships will not even be able to get together the sailors. What are we afraid of? ”

"That being said, they can always make trouble for us." Qi Ye was no longer in a hurry, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"We've said for a long time that the world doesn't revolve around us. If you want to do everything according to our ideas, it will be very tiring. Everyone has the idea of being a chicken rather than a cow. Wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble by letting those people jump out? We just need to take care of the people who follow us seriously. Although Zhao Jiaren agreed with Qi Ye's mood very much, he still couldn't help but take out the most correct theory.

It can be seen that this theory is still somewhat convincing for Qi Ye. After being silent for a while, Qi Ye suddenly asked, "Can I also join the shares?" ”

"Not right now." Zhao Jiaren replied.

"Why?" Qi Ye asked puzzled. He found that Zhao Jiaren did not refuse Qi Ye's shareholding, but had a new plan.

Zhao Jiaren continued to reply: "Because many of these people who are involved now have no money, I am ready to discuss with the thousands of brothers who have expanded the territory before discussing the matter of buying shares." If you take a stake now, will everyone think it's fair? ”

Qi Ye's face suddenly became not very good-looking. As Zhao Jiaren said, everyone is not stupid when facing their own interests. Qi Ye wanted to buy shares at this time because he knew that many people's money was used to bring the family out. The money earned by those people has to be used in many places, and even if they look like they are making a lot of money, they can't really keep much at all. At this time, if he is a shareholder, Qi Ye alone can come up with at least a few hundred families instead of hundreds of people.

Obviously, Zhao Jiaren is very aware of this. While he decisively refused, he also gave the real reason. Qi Ye's careful thinking was pierced, and he felt that the whole person was very uncomfortable. I even wanted to cry a little aggrieved. If you want to take advantage of it reasonably and legally, is it really so difficult?
