The fifty pieces of cloth brought were sold out in only half an hour, and Song Che could only keep a few pieces of cloth in the stall and register them for pre-sale.

Rise and fall, a day passes.

The three of them were so busy that they couldn't even eat a bite of lunch, but looking at the list full of books, the joy of the harvest was enough to fill their stomachs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of today, tomorrow, at the same time, in the same place, we will not see you or leave."

Song Che Xie went to the last group of guests, pushed the empty cart, and returned home leisurely with the sunset on his back.

Shen Wenjun held the booklet and checked it as he walked, with the word satisfaction written on his face: "Today's silk has been pre-sold for 376 horses, and 79 sets have been sold in private houses, with a revenue of more than 1,000 taels ......."

Xiaoqin pinched her fingers and calculated: "One stall is one thousand taels, then let's set up thirty stalls, wouldn't it be a day...... Wouldn't it be able to make 30,000 taels? ”

She opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked at Song Che and Shen Wenjun: "Miss, uncle, 30,000 taels...... How much is it? ”

Song Che shook his head and smiled: "Where is it so easy for you to think, the stall pays attention to the time, location, and people, not every day the weather is as good as today, and not every street corner has a rich flow of customers on Pear Blossom Street...... My plan is that on average, one booth will earn 100 taels a day, and I will be satisfied. ”

Xiaoqin smiled: "Uncle, you are really the God of Wealth." ”

Song Che smiled and pointed at Xiaoqin: "The little girl's mouth is like smeared with honey, and she must increase her salary." ”

Xiaoqin blushed: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

"By the way, madam, I've always been curious, with the wealth of our Shen family, how many can we rank in Suzhou City?" Song Che asked suddenly.

Shen Wenjun thought for a while and said, "If the revenue continues at this rate, it will not be a problem to squeeze into the top five." ”

"Is it only the top five?" Song Che asked: "In the past, there were only three Suzhou merchants in the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, aren't we the top three?" ”

Shen Wenjun shook his head, "But that's not the case, merchants are divided into 'business' and 'sitting business', as the name suggests, business is to go south and north, trade around, such as tea, salt, cloth, ceramics, etc.;

Most of the objects invited by the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce are 'businessmen' with extensive business, and many 'businessmen' did not participate in the meeting;

In terms of wealth, sitting on the business is actually richer than going to business, most of the sitting businessmen are several generations, or even more than ten generations of ancestral business, in other words, the 'land rich man', for example, the eight treasure building in front of him, his grandson boss ancestors have been here for eight generations, and the accumulated wealth is more;

In addition, food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, these eight things are just needed in life. For a hard-working and thrifty person, a set of clothes can even be worn for a few years, but he has to eat and drink every day, stay and live, so in comparison, our cloth industry is weaker than other industries from the market;

Not only that, there are many secular places such as gambling houses, green houses, art galleries, etc., which make money, which is immeasurable;

Therefore, our Shen family, it is quite powerful to be able to squeeze into the top five in Suzhou City with the cloth industry. ”

"Then how is the Shen family compared to the Chen family now?" Song Che asked again.

Shen Wenjun still shook his head: "Although he is unwilling, he is still slightly inferior to the Chen family in terms of wealth, after all, the Chen family is a leader in the cloth industry, and there are eight embroidery workshops, weaving workshops, and cloth shops under his command in Suzhou City, which is twice as much as our Shen family." ”

"I believe that with my uncle's ingenuity, he will be able to lead our Shen family to become the richest man in Suzhou." Xiaoqin said with her chest puffed up.

Shen Wenjun held the booklet and secretly glanced at Song Che, she didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of belief.

Song Che's eyes were deep-

Since the last time the Yangzhou bandits made such a fuss, the Chen's business channels have also been cut off, perhaps because of this, they will eagerly collect the New Year's currency business.

The matter of the year's coin, it is still unknown, the Chen family must have the element of gambling, the bet is right to eat the emperor's grain, the bowl is full, and if the bet is lost, even if the family is not bankrupt, it will be greatly damaged.

If the Chen family's business can be eaten, the Shen family will become the richest man in Suzhou, and it will be just around the corner.

During the chat, Yunshuifang arrived.

The stalls in the east and south of the city returned to the store a moment earlier, and although the revenue of these two places could not catch up with the north of the city, they also had more than 300 taels.

Qin Ruo, who came out of the west pier of the city, has not returned for a long time.

Shen Wenjun stood at the door, raising his neck in anticipation, and there was no lack of worry between his eyebrows: "The sun is about to set, even if the west of the city is far away, you should come back on time......

If she has always been delicate, she will never be late or leave early

Looking at the darkening night, Song Che couldn't help frowning, although there were many businesses and travelers on the dock, there was no shortage of people, not to mention the territory of the Chen clan in the west of the city......

"It's back, it's back!"

Outside the dazed street, a board car came quickly, but there were only two people accompanying him, the male clerk Zhang Hu and the female clerk Xiaoying, but the female shopkeeper Qin Ruo was missing.

Something went wrong.

Song Che hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is the Qin shopkeeper?" ”

The clerk ran all the way, so tired that he couldn't breathe, "Qin shopkeeper she...... She couldn't find it, she ...... She ......"

Shen Wenjun took the tea and gave it to the two clerks to drink.

The clerk smoothed out his anger and said: "There is a guest who said that he wanted to order a dress for his mother, but her mother's legs and feet were inconvenient, so she repeatedly begged the Qin shopkeeper to come to the door to measure her body, and the Qin shopkeeper went, but she never came back......

The two clerks cried and knelt down, "I'm sorry uncle, miss, we didn't take good care of the piano shopkeeper...... I'm so stupid, how can I let the shopkeeper go with him alone......"

"Where can I blame you for this, hurry up." Shen Wenjun picked up Zhang Hu and Xiaoying, and asked, "How long has this happened?" What does that man look like? How do you dress? Can you see which way they're going? ”

Xiao Ying said: "About an hour ago, we were going to close the stall, and the man came here, the man was twenty-five or sixteen years old, about seven feet tall, wearing a light green satin, polite and polite, and quite handsome, oh yes, there is a black mole under the corner of his right mouth...... He said that his family lived near the wharf, and he could get there by walking a few steps, and he couldn't delay much, and the shopkeeper didn't plan to go, but the man directly gave ten taels of silver as a deposit. ”

Zhang Hu added: "At that time, there were too many people at the dock, and we didn't see where they were going, I saw that the shopkeeper had not returned for a long time, so I looked around at the dock, but I asked all the shops, and they all said that they didn't see ......."

"There must be a bad guy who saw that the shopkeeper was beautiful and deceived her! Uncle, what are you waiting for, copy the guy and go to the dock to find someone! Li Tian urged.

Song Che pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then ordered: "Steward Li, you take your three brothers and go to the dock with me and Zhang Hu to find someone; Madam, you immediately go to the Yamen to report to the officials, and ask them to send people to the dock as soon as possible. ”

Shen Wenjun was worried, "Why don't you bring more people to deal with sudden changes." ”

Song Che shook his head: "The other party deceived the Qin shopkeeper through a routine, it is obvious that there was a premeditation, the dock has always been a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, too many people will inevitably attract attention, three or five people are enough." ”

Shen Wenjun didn't say much, just a sentence of caution and cherishment, and immediately took someone to the yamen.

Taking advantage of the leisure time to prepare the car, Song Che went back to the study to take the electric baton, and took out three hundred taels of gold from the counter, and then rushed to the west dock of the city with Li Tian, Zhang Hu and other four people!
