Chapter 61: Conspiracy

"It's a big deal, you don't have to be like this, you just have to be your birthday star, and you don't have to worry about other things." Ruofeng gave her a salute back.

Ruoxue got up in the morning, went to greet Tian with her sister Ruohong, and had breakfast with Tian there, so Ruohong went back to sleep and went back to sleep, and she took Lianxin and Mi Pearl Gongyue to the study where the deliberations were held.

Ruohong yawned with one hand to cover her mouth, and waved one hand, "If you don't sleep, you will become a pig if you sleep again!" She said.

Ruoxue smiled and didn't pick her up, and pulled her to the study together.

Ruoxue took Ruohong to the study in the front yard and met the other three stewards of the Mei family, one was the Ding housekeeper who was in charge of the house's shopping, called Ding Kejian. I don't know how much money goes out of his hand every month.

In the same way, he appeared to be richer than the other stewards, as can be seen from the way he dressed, and he was also a servant at home, and he ate and drank more than the others.

He wanted to take some oil from the purchase, but he didn't need to stretch out his hand if it was convenient, and if there was a person with red eyes, he went to Mei Jiye to sue him, and Mei Jiye sent the person to Ding Kejian's side and asked him to find evidence before talking.

Ding Kejian is a good person, he often likes to laugh, and often pulls a few stewards in the house to eat and drink together.

He is a slightly chubby person, in his forties, he looks a little rich, and it is easy for people to get close to him, so to speak, people will think that he is a good old man when they see him.

Ruohong remembered that there was a person in the Dream of Red Mansions, who was a slave of the Jia family, and a slave who was so rich that he didn't know how much oil and water he scraped from the Jia family.

Ruohong thought that if she copied Ding Kejian's house, she didn't know if there was half of the Mei family's wealth, so she secretly looked at Ding Kejian twice, covered her mouth and smiled.

Another steward in charge of the big and small Zhuangzi in the house, surnamed Ma Dazhu, only returned to the house yesterday, he came back from the Zhuangzi in advance, and then the Zhuangzi will send the pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese to be used in the New Year to the house, and hand them over to the Ding steward for storage.

Ma Dazhu has been running around the Zhuangzi for half a year, this time he went out before the autumn harvest, and he didn't come back until yesterday, and he kept a very thick account book in his hand, which recorded how much Zhuangzi was produced in various places, whether there were losses, etc.

There is also a steward surnamed Zhang, with a single name and a tic-tac-toe, because his mother gave birth to him when she was washing clothes by the well, so she named him Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing's status in the mansion is transcendent, and several other stewards have to call Zhang Ye when they see him, this voice is not because he is old, he is the youngest among the several stewards, and this is not a reason to look down on him.

Zhang Jing was invited by the eldest master Mei Jiye after taking over the family business, and it can be said that he was the strategist of the Mei family, and all the business decisions of Mei Jiye had to be asked before they were implemented.

It was also after having Zhangjing that the Mei family's industry flourished, and after Mei Jiye got Zhangjing, just like Liu Bang met Zhang Liang, in less than 20 years, he became one of the few wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

Zhang Jing was dressed in a brown Hangzhou silk robe, sitting on the first of several Taishi chairs in the east, he had a thin face, small eyes and a long nose, which was particularly conspicuous.

His hair was tied in a Confucian scarf, two ribbons floated behind his head, and he held a book in his hand all year round.

"I saw the windmill made by the lantern workshop, and the windmill was quite fresh, but it was not as durable as the traditional skeleton, and it would break down in less than two days when I bought it, and I am afraid that the person who bought it for the second time did not. The gains outweigh the losses! He said.

Zhang Jing does not approve of making windmills to sell, that is a business only done by street and alley vendors, and it is not necessarily enough to raise two or three people, and it is not suitable for the Mei family's shop to do, and the profit is too small.

Ruohong couldn't help but laugh, that windmill was too easy to make, and it was not difficult to be learned, and few people bought it when people learned it.

"Besides, that windmill is too simple to make, it's easy to learn, everyone can do it, and who will take the money to buy it." Zhang Jing turned the page of the book in his hand, and in this case he could still read it, and there was no one.

"What Master Zhang said is that he didn't think about how much money it could make, but he just thought that the windmill was novel, and he made some of it and sold it, even if someone else learned it, he would also say: It was learned from the Mei family."

Ruohong said with a smile, she sat next to Ruoxue, feeling like a listener, but she didn't expect to be talked about the windmill at the beginning.

For Mao to take care of such a trivial matter!

Ruoxue smiled and diverted the topic, and asked Zhang Jing what businesses can be invested in next year, suitable for the Mei family to do big industries, her father died, the Mei family can't stagnate, and she didn't think about how much progress the Mei family could make in her hands, as long as she didn't go backwards, thank God.

Zhang Jing held a book into a roll, and slowly stroked it with one hand, "The prince of Jin Zhang borrowed silver from us to do the seafood business, and when the time comes, we will not be able to buy some from him, transport it to the mainland to make a difference, or make more money after processing." He said.

Ding Kejian and Ma Dazhu cater to Zhang Jing's words, they don't know much about investment, but they are also calculating people, and they have been with Zhang Jing for 20 years, and they believe in what he says.

Zhang Jing slapped the scroll in his hand on his palm, and said slowly: "The prince of Jin Zhang Wang borrowed 500,000 yuan of silver, if he really bought all the seafood back, it would be a big deal."

Most of the seafood are spices and gemstones, and there are some novel handicrafts, all of which are favorite items of the dignitaries in the capital. If you can buy some from his ship, either process it and sell it, or send it directly to Beijing to sell, you can make a profit. ”

Ruohong heard them talk about how to get benefits from that son, and she also wanted to make a lot of money, I don't know if she can be counted as one.

In any world, money and power are reciprocal.

She doesn't have much obsession with power, Ruohong just needs to be in control of her own destiny, she doesn't want to control her fate in ancient times, that's too terrible!

If you have money, can you have more right to speak, Ruohong thought like this, and looked up at a few people.

"What Zhang Ye said makes sense, the biggest profit from seafood is spices and gemstones, and the spices we buy from other shops every year are a lot of expenses, and if you take the goods directly from the ship, you can get a lot cheaper!" Ding Kejian said.

He buys all kinds of items for the house all year round, knows the sales price in the world, and is sure that those items can make money, and his words are trustworthy.
