0107 Meetings
And he also allocated three small flags of dissatisfaction to the past, and hinted to Liu Haojia that the people missing in it are all empty, and you can have a share of the silver allocated above! Of course, if you want to replenish the manpower, you can't ask for silver, you have to pay your own money!
Although Liu Haojia didn't care about the few taels of silver for the empty salary, he was very interested in the position of the general flag! If you have a position, you will naturally have subordinates, and if there are more people, you will naturally have great power!
After being promoted, Liu Haojia once again held a banquet to greet the new people who joined him, and kept gathering with other hundreds of households. This made the people who followed him a little despised his petty family after hearing the news! It's just a general flag, just happy to be like this, and it doesn't seem to be of much interest! For a while, there was a lot less attention to him!
And the brocade guards at the bottom are different! You must know that Jinyiwei is now at a low ebb, and the general flags, small flags and captains at the bottom are also living on meager salaries and extorted silver every day, and their lives are also tight! Naturally, it's not fun for someone to eat and drink!
But eating people has a short mouth, and after eating, he naturally praises Liu Haojia. So when he is mentioned, everyone who hears about it picks a thumb up, and wants to praise him for his bold and righteous spirit! Therefore, Liu Haojia has a considerable reputation among the Jinyi guards at the bottom of the Beijing Division!
At the same time, Liu Haojia has a second happy event, that is, those big merchants can't hold back their desire to make money, and they begin to buy mirrors from Jubao Zhai and sell them to other places, especially the wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan have smashed a lot of silver!
At the very beginning, most of the well-informed wealthy businessmen felt that Gu Ningbo's Mansion would not last long, and someone would take away the secret recipe of Jubaozhai and the mirror. When the time comes, they will naturally be able to negotiate business with the new owner, so as not to spend money in vain!
But what surprised them was that more than half a year had passed, and Jubao Zhai was still standing there steadily, collecting a large amount of money every day, which made them red!
What made them even more red was that Zhang Shunping, who was born in Jiangnan, transported mirrors to Jiangnan boatload by boat, making a lot of money, which made them jealous and crazy!
So after a long period of observation, they finally couldn't hold back the idea of making money, and began to purchase a large number of all kinds of mirrors to ship to all parts of Daming. This has made the sales of Jubao Zhai have a blowout development! The amount of silver entered Gu Ningbo's mansion like flowing water, and the amount of money even surprised Liu Haojia!
However, it is not surprising that in this era, there are few and far channels for investment, and the first choice of ordinary people after they have money is often to buy land! There are enough waits, probably just do some bouquet of oiran, raise a prince and something like that! Therefore, there is still a large amount of silver that cannot be spent, and it is precipitated in the people.
Even this kind of precipitated silver has given birth to a profession, that is, casting is helpless! This kind of helplessness is a big silver ball weighing hundreds of pounds!
After this kind of silver ball has been processed by master craftsmen, it is dripping round all over its body, and there are very few bubbles, holes and the like! There are no suitable tools in there, and a dozen people can't get rid of this kind of thing!
To put it bluntly, it is a way to prevent thieves and not care about thieves. Because the thief can only sigh when he sees this big silver ball, because he can't drag it away! And it is even more effective against the brigade of bandits!
When the bandits came to attack Zhuangzi, the main family only had to run, because in a hurry, the bandits did not have the right tools to transport away hundreds of catties of large silver balls, so they could only be thrown in place! When the master's family returns with the officers and soldiers, the money will be returned to the original owner!
You must know that these hundreds of kilograms of big silver balls have not been caught, and they can't be lifted without special tools! Even if it is lifted, there must be a special carriage to transport it, otherwise hundreds of catties or thousands of catties of silver balls will swing on the carriage, and the carriage will fall apart directly!
Now this is the situation in Gu Ningbo's Mansion, a large amount of silver is piled up in the treasury and cannot be used, and the eyelids of Liu's father and Liu's mother are jumping! If it weren't for the 200,000 taels of silver that the palace took away a while ago, the family would be almost out of the treasury now!
In fact, Liu Haojia also knew that to build a martial arts hall, it would not cost 200,000 taels of silver to buy equipment, but he still did not hesitate to send the silver over according to the required amount. Because it is impossible for officials at all levels in the palace to get rid of oil and water!
In order to solve this matter, Liu Haojia discussed with Liu's father and gathered the main people in the family to prepare for an internal meeting. He had to make a plan for the future of Gu Ningbo's Mansion so that everyone could understand his plan. In fact, he had wanted to hold this meeting for a long time, but he had to delay it because he had been busy with the affairs of the beggars recently.
After dinner that day, Liu's father, Liu Haojia, Liu Guangyuan, Liu Guangting and Liu Haonian came to the study together. Tea had already been prepared in the study, just waiting for everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Liu Haojia first made a circle and said: "I am the youngest here, but I called everyone over by my father's hand, just to make a long-term arrangement for the future of our Gu Ningbo Mansion!" If there is something to offend, I can't live with the elders! ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu's father said: "This is easy to say! You better solve the problem of our Fuzhong Treasury first, the silver in it is almost full! Alas, the ancestor probably didn't expect that there would be so much silver in the house, and the treasury was too small! By the way, doesn't it mean that there are people in this deal, let him send someone to take it away! With so much silver, my heart hangs in the air for one more day! ”
Hearing Father Liu say this, Liu Haojia immediately laughed! Because the ability of the mirror to absorb gold is really extraordinary! It's not that there is no business with as much profit as mirrors, but this kind of business requires a lot of operating and goods costs, and the cash is relatively small, and it is all precipitated in other aspects such as inventory.
This is not the case with mirrors, which are too low-cost! is Liu Haojia's desperate inventory pressing, and his cost is still outrageously low! So even if he saved a few mirrors in the treasury, he didn't actually spend much money, but the silver he collected was basically pure profit! As a result, his cash flow became so abundant that the treasury was full of silver that he could not digest it in time.
Liu Guangyuan saw Liu Haojia laughing, thinking that he didn't think this matter was very troublesome, so he couldn't help but say: "Second young master, I know that it's a pleasure to have more silver, but our family has too much silver!" It's so much that it's really scary! ”
