Chapter VIII Business Lines
Gong often went to the Wenhua Hall to give lessons to the emperor, and was seventy years old when he became the emperor's teacher, although he was not an auxiliary minister appointed by the emperor, but he had a decisive voice and status in major political events.
Gong often saluted the emperor, Zhu Yijun once wanted to exempt him, Gong often said that the ceremony could not be abolished, and the old minister saluted His Majesty at all times, and he always warned himself that he could not relax himself with His Majesty's young and His Majesty's compassion, and the imperial power should not be neglected.
"If everyone is like the teacher, I will be relieved to be a vertical arch as Lao Tzu said." Zhu Yijun said.
What did Gong Chang say at the time, oh, governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, Your Majesty can read more Legalist books recently, all the sons of a hundred schools, Your Majesty must master it, and don't have a preference. Otherwise, this little fresh will easily go away.
Gong Chang finished saluting, and the chamberlain moved to Jindun to let him sit down, Gong Chang saw the marquee hanging in front of the window, "It seems that Your Majesty likes this lamp very much?" "This is a lantern lantern, not a palace lantern commonly used. But now it is swaggering and occupying the position of the palace lamp, showing that it is liked by the owner.
"What does the teacher think of this word?" Zhu Yijun said.
Zhang Cheng carefully held the lamp in front of Gong Chang for him to appreciate, Gong Chang is also a person who loves words, and after looking closer, he patted his leg and said, "Good words." β
"The clouds are flowing and the pen is exquisite, and you can vaguely see the freedom of the dragon and the phoenix." Gong Chang said, "I don't know which master this character came from, and the old minister also wants to ask for a letter." β
"Not a master." Zhu Yijun said.
"How can you not be a master if you can write such words." Gong Chang said, "Masters have a certain relationship with fame, but there is no necessary relationship." There are many masters in the world who are not worthy of their names, and there are not no masters who are not well-known. β
"If the teacher likes it, the next time I meet her, I will ask for a word for the teacher." Zhu Yijun said.
"Is it the person Your Majesty met last time out of the palace?" Gong often asked.
"It is said that I am the lord of the world, and the whole world is not the king's land, but I am framed in this Forbidden City, and I can't go anywhere, even if I go around the imperial city, I will be taught a lesson."
"Your Majesty, as Your Majesty said, Your Majesty is the Lord of the world, and Your Majesty will naturally go wherever you are in the world." Gong Chang said, "The reason why Lord Shoufu is worried is only because His Majesty left the palace alone without telling anyone, and he only brought two or three people with him, and it was really dangerous to wear a white dragon fish suit." β
Zhu Yijun was thoughtful, then if I brought all the guards, I would be able to go out on patrol? This time out of the palace is the bird that has been released out of the cage, and I always want to go out again day and night.
Mrs. Wuqinghou entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, "The little girls in Andingfang are all small jasper, but the second girl of the Wang family is the second girl who made the lantern in the legend and sold it for three thousand taels, and her beauty is really outstanding." β
"How's the character?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"It's decent, it's a little childish." Mrs. Wu Qinghou said, "Because Xu is the second child, he is always a little angry with the discipline of the boss, but fortunately, he will be obedient." β
"It's good to be obedient." Empress Dowager Li said, "Since my mother said that she was beautiful, I asked the eunuch to write down her name." "No matter how strict the mother is, she always thinks about her son, and there must be no few beautiful concubines in her son's backyard.
Wang Ronghe was about to go out, and came in without illness to say that the merchant ship in Quanzhou had arrived, and she was holding the account book. When the girls were twelve years old, they would begin to learn to manage their own yards, and Wang Ronghe's burden was heavier, and her mother's dowry, the old lady would also hand over her to take care of it early in the morning.
"What a coincidence." Wang Ronghe said with a smile. She took the abacus and pulled the account, and the ledger was made into a table according to her viewing habits from the beginning, with dates, income, expenses, and remarks in the back. Finally, I didn't waste the basic accounting I learned in college.
Wang Ronghe's income mainly comes from his mother's dowry, including the rent of the shop and the rent of the field, Wang Ronghe was also interested in thinking about doing business when he was in charge of his mother's dowry, she had so many good ideas, but she had only seen a few shopkeepers, and asked a few words to dispel this naΓ―ve idea. Doing business should be related to households, this is especially obvious in the capital, there are basically few shops behind no one, although the name of Jinyi Wei Wang Qianhu Mansion is easy to use, but she is not sure that she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet to get something novel, when others find it, will it cause chaos to Jinyi Wei Wang Qianhu Mansion. In the end, she even left three good shops that her mother opened when she was there, and the rest of the shops were closed, and the funds for the activities went to buy shops and land in a blink of an eye, and before she knew it, the annual rent collection was a large amount.
The expenditure is much simpler, and the personal exchanges between sisters are petty fights, and there are festivals and birthdays to honor the elders. In fact, Wang Ronghe is willing to give the elders some expensive things, after all, she is not bad for money now, but the filial piety of the elders prefers her to make some small objects with her own hands, or write a word or something.
In addition to the cash account, there is also a fixed assets account, this account is currently more income, less expenditure, more income is more in the old lady today remembered what she has in the treasury can give the big girl, tomorrow I remember that the spring is coming to the big girl, is there a lack of a flower pot and a lack of decorations, hurry up to ask.
Cui Shi didn't have no complaints about this, but the old lady blocked her with a word, can you be the same for the big girl and the second girl and the third girl? I'm not dead yet, and you still remember me?
In the end, Cui's was beaten by Wang Wei.
One of the three good shops is a good shop that sells seafood, and the spoils of Wang Wei's bandits, Zhang's family is not all kept, and some will be sold. During the period of the first emperor, the sea was forbidden, and His Majesty has not yet opened the sea ban, in the end, the sea line is not so tight, as long as someone buys it, there are always people who are willing to take risks to take risks.
Although Wang Wei was later promoted to Beijing, although the Zhang family had passed away, Wang Wei felt that this business was still done, and he still brought his wife and brother to Beijing to do it, and when Wang Ronghe took over and did it decently, Wang Wei didn't care, this was originally a dowry shop prepared for Wang Ronghe.
Wang Ronghe actually wondered about her mother's dowry, but she didn't think much about it. How do you know that his father is filling some of the marital property into Zhang's dowry before the new wife enters the door, and will be her dowry in the future.
After Wang Rong and Guan Shop, the focus of merchant ships in overseas procurement was changed from finished products to semi-finished products. Wang Rong and herself don't have a ship, and her cousin is now collecting sea goods in the coastal zone, and he will send it to Beijing when he has collected enough boats. In the previous dynasties, Quanzhou was the largest important port for the exchange of Western goods, but now although it has been defeated, it is no longer the grand occasion of the sea mouth for thousands of miles, but Quanzhou seems to have become some kind of tacit code.
The ship from Quanzhou has entered Beijing, that is, there are new goods entering Beijing.
"Is the second girl in good health?" Packed up the account book, Wang Ronghe asked. A few days ago, Wang Zhixi had a cold and was sick for a few days. The second girl was sick, because of the deep love of cousins, Wang Ronghe was going to visit the door, but after going once, Wang Zhixi let people say that she was afraid that she would be sick and give the eldest sister, so she was not invited in. Could it be that Wang Ronghe still went to the door to eat closed-door soup again and again? So later, Wang Ronghe asked the girl to go over one day and ask, but people don't go.
"It's okay, I haven't smelled the smell of boiling medicine in the past two days, but I still need to recuperate for a few days, so I haven't gone out." Disease-free said.
"Then go report to my grandmother, I'll go out in the afternoon." Wang Ronghe said.
She is not an ordinary lady, the door is not out of the door, fortunately, my grandmother was in Yuyao when she was young, the people were open, and young girls could also go out. After all, the girl didn't get married, and she had a few years of easy life at home before.
Wang Ronghe wears men's clothes when she goes out, she once complained that ancient men were too stupid, wearing men's clothes is brothers, you didn't see her painting the thin eyebrows, the chest bulging, the short man, ah, the short man doesn't count, malnourished, the long short man is not nothing, and the hole in the earlobe is also often exposed.
Wang Ronghe felt that he couldn't make such a low-level mistake, his complexion was painted bronzed, his ear piercings should be blocked with powder, his eyebrows were drawn, his chest was tightened with strips of cloth, he stepped on thickened boots, and wore a round-necked men's dress. β
"The eldest girl walked out in men's clothes and said that it was the fourth young master of the Qianhu family of Jinyi Wei, and others believed it." The nurse said.
Both girls went, and they both dressed up in men's clothes, and they went a few times and they had their own experience in dressing up, and sometimes they discussed how to be more like men.
The next person prepared the car and waited directly on the second door, the nurse saw that there was no one along the way, beckoned, Wang Ronghe took the girl to trot, and waited until the carriage gasped for breath and let go.
Wang Ronghe's shop is on Qianmen Street, and more than a dozen rooms are hers, and the rest are rented out by her, only the last one she has changed into a shop.
The black flat faΓ§ade, the gold lacquer is written on the word distant friends, taking the meaning of friends from afar, and vaguely pointing out that I have something from afar. Inside, there are dazzling shelves on both sides, a counter in the middle, and curtains on both sides, leading to the backyard on one side and the upper floor.
The backyard is the warehouse, and the upstairs is the boutique.
The shopkeeper is the son of his cousin, and when he saw Wang Ronghe, he came up to lead, "The fourth young master is here." Yesterday, the ship arrived, and I asked people to deliver the news, and I thought that the fourth young master was coming over today. β
"My mother made a sea crab. The fourth young master is not good for this bite. The shopkeeper said.
"Then I'm going to have a good time today." Wang Ronghe said with a smile.
"This time, the boat also brought some old Yuyao flavors, and brought them back when they left, so that Wang Qianhu and Lao An people could also taste the old flavors." The shopkeeper said, "It was supposed to come a year ago, but unfortunately it was delayed." β
"It's not too late." Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "It is the time to clear the stomach after the New Year's Festival, and I can eat some old flavors of my hometown, and my grandmother and father should be very happy." β
The shopkeeper and Wang Rong are about the same age as the eldest brother, they have two sons under their knees, and he also has a younger sister, who is one year younger than Wang Ronghe, and heard a voice coming from behind, "Big sister is here." β
The shopkeeper frowned when he heard this, "Ruoyun, I have said many times that the eldest girl has to call her the fourth young master when she wears men's clothes." β
"It's out of the way, and now there's no one else." Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "Go to the backyard and say." β
The new goods sent have been placed in the warehouse according to categories, Ruoyun gave her the booklet of points, "The gems that came this time are not particularly large, and this is still pressing the orders of several big customers." β
"Where's the condition?" Wang Ronghe asked, "If there are no big ones, use a few more to save a big one." β
"There are people on the market who imitate our jewelry, craftsmen, and big sisters occasionally have to go to knock and knock." Ruoyun said. At that time, the wives in Beijing thought that Western jewelry was too fancy, too exaggerated, and fake, yes, it was Wang Ronghe's jewelry, and the Western gems were made into jewelry according to the traditional aesthetics, which opened the door to a new world.
It turns out that Yuanpeng is a standout, and now there are more such types of jewelry on the market.
"There's no way to avoid this." Wang Ronghe said, "In the future, we will not do low-end ones, but only high-end customizations." β
