159 Four major restaurants
These more than a million people do not produce, do nothing, and have to consume the country's tax revenue, coupled with the implementation of the Great Zhou Dynasty's maritime ban policy, overseas trade is almost zero, so the country's tax pressure is given to the peasants.
Qi Wei's level made her unable to imagine that Shen Liang was so far-reaching.
She only focuses on her own one-third of an acre, thinking about how to make money to feed the people in the gang, and the class she comes into contact with is also at the bottom of this society, which causes her vision to be very low.
The owners of the four major restaurants quarreled in order to occupy a little more share.
They are old men in business, and they know how amazing the profits of liquor are, don't look at this small point, it may represent the ownership of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Shen Liang didn't care about them, he divided the share of liquor into two, he owned 51 percent, and the other 49 percent was handed over to the Yiwu Gang and the four major restaurants.
The end result was that each of the four major restaurants accounted for 10 percent, and the Yiwu Gang alone accounted for 9 percent.
Of course, Qi Wei was not very satisfied with this result: "Our Yiwu Gang contributed money, effort, and people, why does it only account for less than one percent, isn't this working for you for nothing?" ”
Shen Liang patted her on the shoulder and said, "What's the hurry, you listen to the opinions of other shopkeepers." ”
Wan Tengda of Sihailou said: "Qi Gang Master, the master of winemaking is easy to find, if you are too little, give me the share, we Sihailou will be next, what money, effort, and people, we Sihailou is all inclusive, what do you think?" ”
"Shopkeeper Wan, you have made this abacus, I have heard it in Xicheng." The shopkeeper Zhao of the Drunken Immortal Building said slowly: "The people you Sihailou receive are all rich businessmen from the south, and you can't use such a strong liquor at all, this share is given to you, it is a pure waste, you are still suitable for drinking rice wine, it is really not good, drink some rice wine." ”
"Who said that we southerners can't drink spirits, let me tell you, look down on people less, it's really not good, let's draw a line to compare! Let you see the power of our little sheep in Jiangnan. ”
"Whoever is afraid of whom, bet on these shares of the Yiwu Gang, whoever wins, who can take an extra share."
Seeing that the two shopkeepers were arguing, Tongfu Restaurant in the south and the natural residence in the north also joined the battlefield, with a clear purpose, that is, to occupy an extra share.
Qi Wei was stunned, but she didn't expect that her share of less than one percent would be so popular.
Shen Liang smiled: "How about it, is it too little now?" It is no exaggeration to say that your nine-percent share, even if you bid 100,000 taels, there are definitely people who are willing to pay this money, but I suggest that you still don't sell, this is a long-term deal, enough to feed your large group of people. ”
Shen Liang said again: "And I am going to set up a liquor chamber of commerce, when the time comes, several of you will participate together, your share can not only be used for dividends, but also take advantage of the situation to connect with the four major restaurants, think about it, what a huge interest relationship behind this." ”
Qi Wei said with a smile: "It's strange to say that you scholars have good brains, and if you move your mouth, you can make such a big move, it seems that it was really wise for us to choose to cooperate with you at the beginning." ”
Shen Liang said: "I have to have a brain, but the most important thing is my identity as a descendant of Rongguogong, if I don't have this foundation, do you guess that Boss Wan will sit down calmly and talk to me about cooperation?" Don't talk about them, even you, it is estimated that you will also buy and sell. ”
Shen Liang's words were very thorough, Qi Wei's face was swollen, as Shen Liang said, if he really had no background, I am afraid that there would be no bones left that were swallowed by the Yiwu gang as soon as they met, let alone sell them at a good price.
However, Shen Liang has enough self-confidence, distilling liquor is only one ten-thousandth of the knowledge reserve in his mind, and in the liquor industry alone, he can make more than a dozen brands and grades, not to mention that he has other ways to make a fortune.
What Elder Song got was only the roughest formula, and the concentration of alcohol that could be purified was not high.
In the final analysis, it is because the instruments of this era are not precise enough, and the operation of personnel is also very unskilled, even the simplest alcohol purification requires thousands or thousands of scientific experiments, otherwise it will not be possible to rely on theoretical knowledge alone.
So Qi Wei was worried that the winemaking recipe would spread, but Shen Liang didn't care.
Qi Wei asked, "I'm still worried about Uncle Song's safety, can you rescue Uncle Song?" ”
Shen Liang said: "Qiu Liang is a difficult guy, and we don't know who the person behind him is, they all say that Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult, not to mention that this is a little ghost pretending to be a Hades, for today's plan, we must find the right person." ”
"The right person?" Qi Wei didn't understand for a while.
Shen Liang explained: "It is said that there are people in the court who are easy to do, but the bureaucratic relationship in the capital is too complicated, and there are many factions, in case the person we are looking for is Qiu Liang's hostile forces, not only can we not save people, but it may also be self-defeating. ”
Qi Wei said nervously: "Could it be that Qiu Liang dares to kill?" ”
"It's not going to kill people, but the most terrifying thing in the world is not death, do you think Wang Shijing's father and son are better now than dead?" Shen Liang said.
Qi Wei couldn't help but shudder.
In the face of Wang Shijing, she was ruthless enough and hard-hearted, but when she thought that her Uncle Song would also encounter this situation, she was a little difficult to accept.
Shen Liang said: "I will let someone buy off the head of the prison and let him take care of Elder Song, and I will personally visit Qiu Liang tonight." ”
Qi Wei was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Qiu Liang had already rejected you?" ”
Shen Liang blinked: "Things are man-made, and I believe that there are no absolute things in this world." ”
Qi Wei's tone was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Master Jia." ”
Looking at the tall and majestic, but gentle woman in front of him, Shen Liang smiled and said, "It's okay to say this, aren't we friends?" ”
"Friends?" Qi Wei looked at Shen Liang's back as he left and muttered.
The reason why Shen Liang wanted to go to Qiu Liang's house instead of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division had such considerations in his heart.
Some people look the same at work and at home, and they are high-sounding and beautiful outside, putting up a clean official display all day long, and they also swear that they will not share the sky with corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
But when I got home, I looked at the full amount of gold, silver and jewelry in the refrigerator, under the bed, and on the wall, and my face changed.
Qiu Liang got off work from the Soldiers and Horses Division and returned to the house in a sedan chair.
His mansion is on Guangning Street in Xicheng, and he still lives in the house of his grandfather Jingtian Hou Qiu Wanzhang.
I think that his grandfather Qiu Wanzhang was also a well-known figure in the army, and he once blocked the Warat people outside the capital city, so he was able to be named the Marquis of Jingtian.
It's just that the gentleman's Ze was beheaded in the fifth generation, and the title of the family was gone to his generation, but by virtue of the relationship, he donated a director of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, a minor official of the seventh grade.
However, although this official is small, his power is not small, and Qiu Liang is very happy to do it himself.
After dinner, Qiu Liang put his arms around the concubine and prepared to contribute to the Qiu family.
In ancient times, nightlife was extremely scarce, and Qiu Liang did not have the habit of reading at night, and his only hobby was to add Ding to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The concubine was just married last year, the daughter of a hundred families in brocade clothes, with a beautiful appearance and a twenty-eight year old.
Qiu Liang likes to be tight.
Just as he was about to blow out the lamp and pull out his clothes, he heard the little maid knocking on the door outside: "Master, a guest is coming." ”
Qiu Liang took off his clothes, held his mallet and said angrily: "Is there anything that won't be said tomorrow?" No, no! ”
After finishing speaking, Qiu Liang also became swollen, so he could only start from scratch, and after making preparations, the knock on the door sounded again: "Master, the guest said that he is from Rongguo Mansion, and he has a big business to discuss with the master." ”
Qiu Liang is about to collapse, he is over thirty years old, it is not easy to fight, every time he has to brew for half an hour to start, and now he has been interrupted twice in succession, Qiu Liang has the heart to kill.
The concubine was understanding: "Master, come here so late, there is nothing important, you go and get busy first, I'll wait for you here." ”
When Qiu Liang heard this, his heart warmed, and he pinched the concubine's Qiong nose and smiled: "It's rare for a beauty to be so understanding, I'm leaving, you have to keep the temperature, I won't be able to drink hot soup after I come back." ”
The concubine was coquettish and called the master bad.
Shen Liang sat in the side hall of the Qiu Mansion, followed by Zhao Yun and Jia Yun.
"Second uncle, this Qiu Liang's shelf is too big, and he made you wait for him for so long!"
Jia Yun stomped his feet and shouted outside the door: "Even the charcoal basin is reluctant to burn, such a cold day has frozen my young master, I have to pick your skin!" ”
All that responded to him was air.
