Chapter 336: Fast Money

Not to mention that in the capital, the new champion Lang's measures to resettle the displaced people, build the Fushou Canal and raise white wax have aroused a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China, but in Ganzhou City, Gu Yanzhang did not feel it at all.

The number of displaced people outside the city is increasing, according to the number counted yesterday, it has broken 60,000, fortunately, as soon as the rain passes, many places in Fuzhou will begin to rain continuously, although the rain is not big, but it has not been broken, look at this situation, this year should not be dry again.

With the rain, the locusts also softened their momentum, and they were soaked in water, so that they did not die, but they were also mostly destroyed.

All kinds of things in the camp have been put on track, and everyone has their own duties, as long as there are no accidents, there will be no mistakes; Sun Lin and a group of people are staring at the culvert, and after figuring out a set of effective supervision methods, they are only advancing according to manpower and progress; And the ordinary government affairs in the state, after more than a year of familiarity, Gu Yanzhang only took a little time every day to deal with all of them.

In the second year of becoming an official, he can finally enjoy a little of the benefits that belong to an official and live a few days of leisure.

One evening in mid-February, after confirming that the camp outside the city and the culvert were progressing as usual, Gu Yanzhang went down on time.

Ji Qingling was lighting the accounts in the Suifu Mansion, and when he saw him coming back, he raised his head, shouted "Fifth Brother" with a smile, and turned the account book in his hand to the page where the sum number was counted, handed it over, and said, "I earned it by selling white wax last year." ”

Gu Yanzhang stretched out his hand to take it, and seeing Ji Qingling's excited little expression, he couldn't help but raise his hand again, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "How much have you gotten, you are so happy?" ”

"Not much." Ji Qingling curled the corners of her mouth and said, "After all, it's the first year." ”

She didn't say much, and the look of anticipation on her face, waiting for the person opposite to boast, couldn't hide it.

Not much, it's up to you to see what you compare with.

If it is compared with the Gu family's previous industry in Yanzhou, it is naturally not worth mentioning, but if it is compared with the net worth of the two of them at the moment, it is really a huge amount.

As the first person in this dynasty to try to raise ash worms, Li Jin took over two mountains according to Gu Yanzhang's instructions, and after more than half a year, he got a total of more than 2,000 catties of ash.

Compared with the beeswax sold at this time, the white wax is more resistant to burning, the light emitted is brighter, the candle flame is more stable, and even the smell of burning is so light that it can hardly be smelled.

Ji Qingling knew that as long as there was more ash in Ganzhou in another year or two, this thing would not be able to sell for a big price, but at this time, this thing was still a strange commodity to live in, and he was unwilling to sell it at the price of ordinary candles like this.

After all, this is the only time to make quick money.

She thought about it, and brought Mrs. Li over, wanting to ask the other party to clean up the white wax, pour it together with medicinal herbs and spices, and take it out to sell it for purposes such as sleeping and calming the mind.

Li Jin and his wife haven't figured out the reason yet, Xu Ming is close to the water, and he knew about it as soon as possible, he came to the door, patted his chest and packed the ticket to take over all the white wax, and transferred it to Beijing, Jinling, Hangzhou and other key states in Beijing, Jinling, Hangzhou, etc., and after cleaning up this thing, it was poured into various different shapes.

Xu Ming has been a big shopkeeper for many years, and he knows how to make money easily, and as soon as he makes a move, he is not Ji Qingling's face-saving approach, he directly adds spices and medicinal materials with special effects, and boasts that the white candle is a wonderful thing that can help the fun - at that time, the shops selling beeswax also boasted that it had this effect, but it was not as good as white wax, the color was unique, and it made people think it was something more powerful at first glance.

He has a wide range of skills and acquaintances, but in two or three months, he added medicinal herbs and spices, and poured a total of nearly 3,000 catties of white wax, which was quietly placed in the houses of wealthy merchants, big families, and nobles in major states, and the price rose again and again, and it was difficult to find a wax.

Ordinary candles are about 300 wen a piece, but this white wax with a special effect, two taels of silver, without counteroffer, Xu Ming still feels that it is sold low.

Xu Ming acted like this, and he didn't dare to let Ji Qingling know, but he didn't dare to hide it from Gu Yanzhang.

Gu Yanzhang was born as a businessman, so he naturally knew how easy the things in this kind of house were to sell in the market, and they had always been things that made a lot of money.

The officials of the Great Jin Dynasty can't do business, but there are relatives and friends of officials, but there are many businessmen, and he doesn't profit from it at most, and he goes to point fingers at Xu Ming, but he really manages it a little widely.

However, in order to avoid being known in the future and having a relationship with himself, Gu Yanzhang asked Xu Ming to divide the account according to 28, and he only had a small head, which was regarded as the cost of getting a white wax.

When all the money is returned, the book is gone, and the profit on both sides is divided, and Ji Qingling's account will have a lot of money.

She didn't know what name Xu Ming was using to sell it, and thought that the other party was happy according to her own way.

Gu Yanzhang saw it in his eyes, he was really reluctant to hit her, and he was even more unwilling to hide it, so after thinking about it, he slowly told the matter.

Ji Qingling let out an "ah", blushed a little for a while, hesitated for a long time, and still involuntarily asked: "The things in the house, are many people really willing to spend a lot of money to buy them?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "In the past, my family was doing business, and the shop that sold this thing has always been the most profitable piece. ”

Ji Qingling sighed and said, "Actually, it's not a bad thing, it's just that the reputation is not good, and everyone doesn't dare to get involved in this business......"

Speaking of this, she secretly glanced at Gu Yanzhang and asked in a low voice, "Fifth brother, what is the purpose of the thing in the room?" Medicine can help rejuvenation by its effectiveness, but it is said that appliances can help rejuvenation, what kind of rejuvenation method is it? ”

Seeing the curiosity on Ji Qingling's face, Gu Yanzhang suddenly thought about it, leaned over, and asked in a low voice: "Since I haven't seen it, when will I bring it to you to take a look?" Or ask someone to get a special candle and let's try it too? ”

Ji Qingling shook his head in fright.

Gu Yanzhang looked at the little guy's face in front of him, which was so red that he couldn't help but want to tease, so he said, "I haven't used it either, you don't dare to try, why don't I give it a try?" ”

Ji Qingling was so frightened that she even changed her voice, and hurriedly stopped: "No! No need to try!! ”

Gu Yanzhang said again: "It's just to cheer up." ”

Ji Qingling was even more anxious, dragged a chair over, hurriedly took Gu Yanzhang's hand, and said, "Let's ...... We don't have to help...... One more time, where can I get up in the morning! ”

Gu Yanzhang leaned over, kissed her earlobe gently, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "How long has it been since you couldn't get up, are you still so afraid?" ”
