Although the snow has not disappeared after entering the wax moon, the market day of Zhoujia Village has also reached the time of the New Year's fair, and there are already more people rubbing shoulders one after another. , Lan Yi's family of four also went to the New Year's fair, although there is no shortage of things at home, but this excitement still has to be made.

I met a lot of people from the village along the way, or went to the market or had already returned with things, everyone greeted each other, and Jia Shi would also say a few words. The people in the village now respect her very much, after all, this can save lives. This year's harvest is abundant, and whether it is pickled cabbage and bamboo shoots or picking wild fruits in greenhouses, they have earned some silver, and everyone wants to do more New Year's goods to have a fat year.

Lan Yi arrived at the edge of the market to store the donkey, the four of them began to follow the flow of people to hang out, the baby and Yu'er with a small satchel, eyes around looking for things to buy, the mother said that they want them to buy paper money for their biological parents, so that they can also buy some delicious food for the New Year. According to Jia's instructions, Lan Yi bought some essential items such as new peach charms, Huitou deer and horses, Tianxing posts, fruit wine, gum tooth candy, paper money, stove horses, New Year's calendar, golden wisps of flowers, spring posts, Taosheng and so on. With the Jia family here this year, Lan Yi feels that this year is very local, everything that should be prepared is enough, and none of the gods who should be worshipped can be left behind.

After Yu'er and Baobao used the money they used to sell duck eggs and eggs to buy paper money and other things, they chose lanterns and masks, and felt distressed when they patted their deflated satchels, thinking about buying some more chickens and ducks to lay eggs. Lan Yi also bought a pen wash and other things for Yu'er, at the beginning of spring next year, Yu'er and Dafu Niu Dan will go to Yixue to study, this is a major event for the whole family, Yu'er herself also attaches great importance to it, and the textbooks such as "Thousand Character Text" to be read have also been read a lot with her mother. I'm afraid of being worse than others.

The sixteenth day of the lunar month is the beginning of spring, and there is such a sentence in "Newspaper Flower Name": "Spring hits six or nine heads". Lan Yi didn't feel anything before, but in Da Zhou, because of the cold picture posted on the wall. Every day will be painted with a flower, coincidentally, counting the beginning of spring in the past two years is indeed on the first day of June and September, that is, the east to the last forty-five days, from this day the earth warms up, the earth rises, and all kinds of kites appear in the sky. Five-nine-six-nine. Looking at the willows across the river, spring has arrived, and the spring girl is walking back step by step.

According to custom. Lan Yi sent a small spring cow with paper paste and a spring plate of vegetables, grains and dried fruits to the second uncle Wang and his sister-in-law to celebrate the beginning of the spring. After the celebration, Lan Yi, Wang Linxi, and Wang Linyuan rushed to the Qingshan grocery store in an ox cart, and today was also the day they agreed to settle the accounts at the end of the year. Even the six sons who were far away in Meixian County rushed back.

Yes. The main characters of Shang Ji, Lan Yi, Wang Linxi, Wang Linyuan, Xia Chongxiao, Cheng Xiaoqi, Xia Shun, and the sixth son Xia Nong gathered together. The table of the eight immortals in the back hall of the grocery store was full.

"I think we're going to build a special council room next year, which is bigger than this one. In the middle, there is a long table three times larger than the Eight Immortals Table, and everyone can sit around the table, which is also convenient for discussing things. Sitting on the main seat with Xia Chongxiao, Lan Yi looked at the jubilant group and said with a smile.

Xia Shun, the big shopkeeper of business opportunities, nodded straightly, "Mrs. Lan's idea is good, and the account books and silver can also be placed on the table." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a teacup fill the table, we can also put tea and fruit snacks on the table and eat while talking?" Xiao Qile held the hot tea happily, and the pair of slightly upturned peach blossom eyes on Ruyu's beautiful face were full of spring, "The big red fruit in the small greenhouse can also be put on two plates, just right for eating now." ”

The big red fruit in the greenhouse is also the tomato, and it can finally be eaten, whether it is eaten in vegetables or raw, Xiao Qi loves the taste of the big red fruit, and feels that it is much more enjoyable than eating fresh cucumber strips in winter.

Seeing him like this, Lan Yi smiled and said, "If Xiao Qi is willing, we will not refuse to come." ”

Xiao Qi raised his chin boldly, "If others are reluctant, everyone eats, and the small ones are enough." ”

Everyone laughed, Xia Chongxiao put down the teacup and lightly stretched the sleeves of his robe, "Since everyone is here, let's start." Xia Nong, close the door. ”

Liuzi smiled and lowered his head to close the door. He still has a lot of resentment towards the name Xia Chongxiao gave him, and when he meets people, he says that his name is Liuzi, but Xia Chongxiao never changes his words but takes pleasure in it, Liuzi naturally dares to be angry and dare not speak, every time he sees Liuzi's expression, Lan Yi wants to laugh.

Closing the door, everyone also quieted down, looked at Xia Shun, Xia Shun coughed, stood up and saluted Xia Chongxiao and Lan Yi first, and only after being polite did he get to the point, "Although our Qingshan Shangji's business was started last year, it really opened this year, first Qingshan Oil Mill, then Qingshan Oil Shop, Qingshan Grocery Store and Qingshan Fresh Fruit Workshop, a total of five big deals, and the semicolon in Meixian County is under the care of my girl, and it is also good every day." We are able to have this day thanks to the good management of Mrs. Lan, the eldest young master and the eldest girl of my family, and everyone here has worked together to make the current situation possible...... Now, let's talk about it separately. Let's talk about our Qingshan oil mill first, last year we collected a total of 7,300 catties of peony seeds, this year a total of 100,000 catties, our own hillside sent a total of 4,000 catties of peony seeds to the oil mill, a total of 111,350 catties in two years, because of the villain's poor supervision, so that the oil mill manager Zhang Qi stole 2,000 catties of peony seeds and only recovered 1,000 catties, so our peony seeds are more than 110,000 catties. ”

Xia Shun said that the number was very clear, and he then read, "These peony seeds, all the oil has been squeezed, a total of 27,500 catties of oil, through the peony feast set 15,000 catties, the price is one catty per catty, these oils have been shipped in batches, the remaining peony seed oil in the oil shop is sold for two pounds and one catty, sold to the old merchants around the country is consistent eight hanging money." According to Mrs. Lan's request, we now sell at a monthly limit of 1,500 catties, which can be sold until next year's peony seeds are harvested and squeezed. Now there are about 9,000 catties of peony seed oil in the oil shop, and we have to sell peony seed oil for a total of 8,150 pounds. In addition, we will draw 200 Wen dry shares per table for peony flower banquets in various places, and each business has sent back 500 yuan. In addition, our oil mill also squeezed 10,000 catties of rapeseed, and produced 2,950 catties of rapeseed oil, 20 wen per catty, a total of 59 taels; In addition to this, there are oils such as walnut oil, almond oil, hazelnut oil, and pine nut oil......"

A string of numbers, thrilling to hear, Xia Shun recited two teas, and finally said with a smile: "So." A total of 9,700 pieces of oil were sold in our oil mill. ”

Nine thousand eight hundred, this is indeed a big number, except for Wang Linxi. Everyone smiled in surprise and couldn't help but clap their hands in congratulations.

Lan Yi knows that this year's peony seed oil can be sold at such a good price, because they have a monopoly advantage, and after the peony seed comes down next year, the price will definitely rise, and the profit here will be much less.

After Xia Shun finished speaking, he said to Wang Linyuan: "Qingshan Goods Store and Qingshan Grocery Store are mainly managed by Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan, you can also talk about it. ”

Wang Linyuan took out his notebook and smiled very modestly. "Let's give you a bottom first, the business on both sides opened late, and there is no good harvest from our oil mill, but we haven't lost our capital. Qingshan Mountain Goods Shop guards 21 villages in Daqingshan in the county, and sets up stalls to collect all kinds of mountain goods. Including all kinds of mountain fruits, game, fur, etc. Most of the fresh fruits that can be made into Qingshan are sent to the fresh fruit workshop, and the mountain peaches are harvested 6,000 catties, apricots are 5,700 catties, plums are 2,800 catties, peaches are 800 catties, grapes are 1,200 catties, pears are 2,000 catties, fresh dates and dried dates are a total of 4,100 catties, and red fruits are 2,000 catties...... Another 400 catties of dried mushrooms. Two hundred and fifty pounds of fungus, and two thousand five hundred pounds of all kinds of edible dried wild vegetables. 2,000 catties of pecans, 600 catties of pine nuts,......"

"The total number is these, excluding the part of the fruits and vegetables that make zuò fresh fruits, our Qingshan Shan store sells a total of 2,850 yuan in the store." Wang Linyuan stuttered clearly, and then read, "The Qingshan Grocery Store is a local specialty and grocery product brought back by our merchant ships after transporting oil and mountain goods, and the business is still good, selling a total of 3,500 yuan, and the two shops have a total of 6,300 yuan. ”

After Wang Linyuan finished speaking, he smiled implicitly, "This amount sounds not small, but it is not lower than the cost of our Qingshan Oil Mill, especially our Qingshan grocery store, the cost is much higher, so the silver that can be earned is a lot less." ”

Everyone nodded, this is the truth.

After speaking, everyone turned their heads to look at the sixth son, the sixth son also followed his father's example and straightened his chest, holding the account book with both hands, he was very excited, being stared at by everyone like this, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice was still flat and said: "Qingshan fresh fruit shop is under the guidance of everyone, and the business is also good." We share 5,000 catties of peaches, 5,000 catties of apricots, 700 catties of peaches, 1,000 catties of grapes, 800 catties of pears, 500 catties of fresh dates, and 500 catties of red fruits...... These fresh fruits have been prepared before they are frozen, and they are sent to various places in batches, and the price is ......?"

The sixth son cleared his throat vigorously, and then read: "Mountain peaches, peaches, and grapes are the most expensive, and the soup is sixty wen for one catty, and the rest are also more than forty wen, and a total of 1,500 yuan of silver, as well as 2,000 catties of various fresh fruits that have not yet been shipped. ”

After the sixth son finished reading, he looked at his father cautiously, Xia Shun frowned, and then said: "The branch over there in Meixian, how is the business?" ”

Liuzi hurriedly took out another account book, "The branch in Meixian County mainly sells oil, groceries, mountain goods and fresh fruits from our side, because the business has just opened, and the income is still small,...... A total of 300 times. ”

Xia Shun nodded and looked at Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, how many do you think in total?" ”

Lin Xi put down his pen and said with a smile: "The number that everyone reads is the same as the number in the account book, and we have a total of 17,800 yuan this year." ”

Everyone was silent, and I don't know who swallowed saliva The sound was particularly loud, which broke the peace, and everyone laughed.

Xia Chongxiao said with a smile: "Our business has just opened this year, and we can have more than 17,000 yuan of income, and no one dares to believe it." Even the Xia family has been operating in Huang County for many years, and listening to this number is also to be weighed. Sister Lan, thanks to your vision. ”

Everyone looked at Lan Yi very convincingly, if it weren't for her, Qingshan Firm would not have such an income. Lan Yi also said modestly, "I just used my brain, and it still depends on everyone to be able to put various ideas into practice." Shopkeeper Xia, this is the income of our store, so what is our cost? ”

Xia Shun nodded, "Yes, let's talk about the cost." Let's talk about Qingshan Oil Mill first, our peony seeds are one pound first, and then one and a half pounds, rapeseed is more expensive, in Wuwen or so, pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts and other mountain goods used for oil extraction are according to the price collected by Qingshan Mountain Goods Shop, and each catty plus one percent is counted as the cost......"

This is Lan Yi's idea, there is mutual support and connection between the business of Castle Peak Merchant Kee, Castle Peak Oil Shop and Castle Peak Oil Mill are the front stores of the back factory, which are one; All kinds of mountain goods collected by the Qingshan Goods Store, those that can be squeezed for oil are sent to the Qingshan Oil Mill, those that can make fresh fruits are sent to the Qingshan Fresh Fruit Workshop, those that can be entered into the grocery store are entered into the grocery store, and the rest are sold in the Qingshan Goods Store for retail or shipbuilding; Shang Kee's ships that delivered out, and all kinds of groceries brought back were sold at Castle Peak Grocery Store. In this way, a whole is formed, which can reduce the cost to the greatest extent, but in order to facilitate the calculation of the business bought and sold everywhere, Lan Yi after careful consideration, asked each branch to open accounts, independent accounting, and the goods entering from one branch to another branch should also be priced, of course, this pricing is the internal price, which is cheaper than selling to the outside, but it cannot be a loss, and it must be added to one percent.

In this way, everyone didn't understand it at first, but after Lan Yi's detailed explanation and calculation, everyone understood the benefits, and naturally they wouldn't object. On the contrary, because they can distinguish between the business input and output in various places, everyone understands better and is more motivated.

After Xia Shun finished speaking, Wang Linyuan and Liuzi respectively reported the various costs of the shops under their jurisdiction, and of course, this also included some expenses for the purchase of the shop pù, the addition of a new oil mill, and the purchase of merchant ships.

After everyone finished speaking, Wang Linxi put down an account book and said seriously: "The number reported by everyone is roughly the same as the number in our cost-effective account book, but there are also some small discrepancies, let's go down and calculate carefully." The following is the city tax, city tax, and deed tax that we handed over to the Yamen, and what I have in my hand is the Zhu banknote that the Yamen stamped us with the regimental seal and strip seal after we paid the various taxes. ”

After coming to the Great Zhou, Lan Yi knew that the ancients were really smart, the tax system of the Great Zhou was very perfect, and all kinds of tax payment vouchers were very detailed, and the bills in and out of the hands of each shop were uniformly printed by the Yamen of the Great Zhou Dynasty according to certain standards, and the name was "white money". The transactions between the trading firms should be followed by the corresponding bills, and then the yamen will collect taxes according to the bills every month, and after the tax is collected, the yamen will stamp the white banknotes to take effect, so that the stamped white banknotes are called "Zhu banknotes".

Everyone looked at the large stack of vermilion banknotes and nodded, Wang Lin happily said: "Our shop pù has a total tax of 2,400 guan, excluding the capital of each shop, the monthly silver of hiring people and subordinates, a total of 5,800 guan, and the capital of our purchase of merchant ships and building shop pù of more than 900 guan, we will earn back 8,000 guan this year." ”

PS: These accounts, Xiao Lanzu has been calculating for a day and a half, and he has a headache. (To be continued......)
