239 Doing business with my uncle
Wang Ziteng took the trouble to explain: "The standards are different in different places, the head of the rogue's is not very valuable, a head is only three taels of silver, because you do not belong to the Great Zhou military, so you can't be promoted, you can only get a reward of silver." β
"What if I cut off Jiannu's head?" Jia Baoyu asked.
Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "That's worth it, my Great Zhou Dynasty beheaded a Jiannu with a reward of thirty taels of silver, and the actual award is one level." β
"It's a tenfold difference!" Jia Baoyu didn't expect the gap between ordinary heads and Jiannu to be so big.
His eyes lit up, if all the heads of Jiannu were cut off this time, wouldn't there be more than 6,000 taels?
Wang Ziteng seemed to see his thoughts, patted his shoulder and said, "Big nephew, this is not bad, you still want to cut off Jiannu's head?" You haven't seen wild boar skins, you don't know how powerful they are, in the battle of Salhu back then, there were only tens of thousands of Jiannu, but they defeated hundreds of thousands of people in my Great Zhou.
Since then, my Great Zhou in the face of the battle of Jiannu, without exception, all failed, and now the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is talking about slave color change, even the emperor has accepted his fate, as long as Liaodong does not have a big mess, the disaster of Jiannu will be left unchecked. β
After speaking, he touched Jia Baoyu's head and said, "Clean up and go back to Beijing with me!" β
"Leaving now?" Jia Baoyu still has a mess of things to deal with, "Can it be two days?" β
"It's not negotiable." Wang Ziteng said categorically, "After I return to Beijing, I will report to the emperor, and the emperor may summon you at that time, is it possible that you still want the emperor to wait for you?" β
Jia Baoyu said: "Okay, give me another half a day, I'll arrange things here, by the way, is my uncle interested in doing business?" β
"What business?" The prince Teng's power is monstrous, and he can't look down on Jia Baoyu's three melons and two dates.
Jia Baoyu took out a pencil from his pocket: "That's it, uncle, please take a look." β
Jia Baoyu used a pencil to write a few words on the paper.
Wang Ziteng liked it, took the pencil from Jia Baoyu's hand, and looked left and right in his hand, "This thing is lighter than a brush, and the writing is also simple and fast, I don't know how much it costs?" β
Jia Baoyu stretched out a finger: "As long as ten cents, and with the increase in production, the cost can be lower." β
The price of the Great Zhou Dynasty is quite high, according to the Liao Shu manuscript records, a pound of pork costs two cents and a half percent of silver, which is equivalent to 250 Wen, but this price is not set in stone, in the first year of the Apocalypse, pork only costs 40 Wen.
However, ten pennies to buy a pencil is still a bit expensive.
Wang Ziteng felt that it was worth ten cents to buy a pencil of this kind!
As a military attachΓ©, he instantly discovered the convenience of this pencil, in fact, if he didn't consider the aesthetics, he would want to use this pencil to write the folds.
"It's a good business, I don't know who came up with this business?" The prince's family has a big business and a lot of expenses, that is, he is now in the rising period of his career, and the protΓ©gΓ©s who come to the city are endless.
But who doesn't want to have more money?
Many people are not to blame for the ceremony, and many people love the money.
Wang Ziteng now looks at his eldest nephew and likes it more and more, not only can he fight for face, but he can also give himself silver, who doesn't like this kind of relative?
"Good nephew, how does this pencil yield? If you can only make 180 a day, you won't be able to make any climate. β
The cost of pencils is low, the selling price is low, and the main focus is a small profit but quick turnover, if the output cannot keep up, it can only be reduced to a small workshop.
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Please rest assured, uncle, this thing is simple to make, it is nothing more than some labor, it is no problem to produce a hundred sticks a day by skilled hands, and this work is not heavy, women can also do it."
These days, a large number of displaced people have been recruited, and there are more than 2,000 women, children, and the elderly, who have worked day and night, and have accumulated 100,000 pencils. β
"100,000? I'll drop a good girl, nephew, aren't you afraid that these pencils won't sell? Wang Ziteng didn't expect his nephew to play so big, and at the same time, he secretly admired the other party's courage.
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "These refugees don't need to be paid, they only need to provide food, as for raw materials, there are mountains and forests nearby, you can use local materials, graphite ore is also ready-made, the cost is just to eat more food."
However, I don't know how the sales of this pencil will be, and when I return to the capital, I will first play a wave of advertising, and if the sales are good, I will increase the production. β
His nephew's mouth always popped out of some terms that he didn't understand, but he didn't mind, "You just said cooperation, what kind of cooperation method is it?" β
Jia Baoyu explained: "It's just three or seven points." β
Wang Ziteng nodded and said, "Okay, I will suffer a loss, and seventy percent is not less." β
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Uncle seems to have made a mistake, Sanqi Kai said that you are three, and I am seven." β
Wang Ziteng's eyes widened instantly, and his beard curled: "What is it?" You account for seventy percent, I account for thirty percent, nephew, make no mistake, right? β
Jia Baoyu was very small and bright, and said: "Uncle heard me right, it is indeed me who is seven and you are three, that's all, or nephew, for the sake of you being my uncle's face, if you are someone else, you can't even have it."
In addition to this, you have to give me 30,000 taels of silver, which will be counted as share capital. β
Wang Ziteng was even more unhappy, he said with a calm face: "Baoyu, do you know how many people are lining up, begging to take refuge in my family, I don't want it, I only agreed because you are my nephew's face." β
Before he finished speaking, Jia Baoyu stopped: "Uncle, they are them, I am me, this is different, you won't have heard of the conversation between the emperor and his nephew, besides, others take refuge under your door, that is what they ask you for."
I want to give my uncle a little filial piety for the sake of our relatives, and now that the three major battalions in the capital have failed, uncle, your situation will definitely not be good, and you will definitely need a large amount of silver to carry out activities, and my nephew dare not say that it is a charcoal in the snow, but it can also be called a sentence of sending goose feathers for thousands of miles.
If I don't brag, if I let it go, I don't know how many powerful people in the capital want to cooperate with me. β
The prince glanced at Jia Baoyu quietly, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I have a long ability, you can tell me, there are those powerful people in the capital who want to cooperate with you, and what is going on with your conversation with the emperor, I really don't know." β
Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "The most fashionable Flying God Brew in the capital now comes from the hands of my nephew, haven't you heard of this?" β
Wang Ziteng couldn't sit still, "You mean you made that liquor?" β
"If it's fake, but you don't have to think about the liquor business, the four major restaurants in Beijing are all involved, and they won't consider letting others participate for the time being.
As for the emperor's affairs, it was not clear for a while, but in short, the emperor said something to me, and the emperor said that he believed me. β
Jia Baoyu stated the facts in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
Wang Ziteng said: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, eldest nephew, you really gave me a surprise!" β
As a celebrity in front of Emperor Longqian, Wang Ziteng received a lot of holy favors, and even had the demeanor of the year.
It's just that in Jia Baoyu's opinion, his uncle's ability is not as good as Yuandudu back then.
In the face of Jiannu, Yuan Dudu has at least fought a few tough battles, although Yuan Dudu has many debatable points personally, but it is undeniable that he still has the ability to do so.
Jia Baoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it, these 30,000 taels will not be let out in vain, and within three months, you will be able to return to your capital!" Uncle, this is a good deal that is sure to make a profit. β
Wang Ziteng's smile softened even more, and said: "I will believe you once, eldest nephew, I said that you are still not Baoyu after all, how can you change so much, if it weren't for your appearance or that appearance, I would have suspected that you are the reincarnation of a fairy child." β
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was shocked!
My uncle, who has a vicious eye, is more powerful than my waste father and my mother, and he actually saw through my identity as a traverser at a glance.
Jia Baoyu said to Li Gui, who had been hanging his head silently: "Li Gui, hurry up and make arrangements, and I will follow my uncle to get the silver later." β
When Li Gui heard this, he bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Yes, second master." β
Then he followed Wang Ziteng's relatives.
And Jia Baoyu simply explained a few words to Zhao Yun and asked him to continue to lead the troops to train, and strive to train a team of more than 1,000 people in a month.
