Xu Ling's familiarity with Quanzhou all relied on Lou Qiaosheng, a tooth man, and now he had so many miscellaneous goods on his body, and he wanted to sell things for money by himself, and he found Lou Qiaosheng again.

Approaching the end of the year, there are not a few large-scale business transactions in Quanzhou, Lou Qiaosheng has been a middleman with Yi merchants, and now he has accumulated some fame, and many businessmen ask him to be a middleman.

When Xu Ling found Lou Qiaosheng, he was sweating anxiously in the cold weather, and entertained Xu Ling in a hurry.

Xu Ling exchanged a few words with him, and went straight to the point: "I have a large number of goods here, and they are not of the same kind, can you help me find a buyer?" ”

Lou Qiaosheng sighed: "If it is usual, I must have the leisure to help you." But you should have seen the wharf when you came, so many ships are coming to Quanzhou to buy grain, seventy or eighty percent of the people in Quanzhou are helping to buy grain, if you are in a hurry, I will help you. ”

Xu Ling did see that the people on the dock were carrying something, and hurriedly said, "Where are the people buying grain?" ”

"Jiaozhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, big businessmen from the three places have come here to buy grain."

Compared with the Quanzhou range where Xu Ling is located, these three places all belong to the north.

Xu Ling was not in a hurry to find a buyer, and was busy asking about the news from the north.

Lou Qiaosheng told him that this year's weather is cold, and it is still snowing in Quanzhou, not to mention the north, where heavy snow is falling in many places, houses are collapsing, and the victims are displaced.

Merchants are like sharks that smell blood, they come to the south early to stock up on grain, and when the time comes, they take the opportunity to buy lives with grain.

If the people want to live, isn't it simple? Those who have money take money, and those who don't have money use land, and if they don't even have land, then use their lives.

Every time there is such a catastrophe, the merchants accumulate a wave of wealth.

Xu Ling's heart turned and turned, such a thing, "What about the imperial court?" No matter? ”

"The imperial court can't manage it even if it wants to, alas, Brother Xu, we don't have any ability, just take care of ourselves, if you are not in a hurry to go home, why not rent a shop in Quanzhou, and sell it slowly to make more money."

"Life is getting harder and harder, and only when you have money in your pocket can you buy peace of mind!"

Xu Ling sighed in his heart, to this day, he still has the kind of thinking in his previous life, and when he encounters something, he wants to say that no one cares? But now in this world, everyone is in danger.

His happiness is like a soap bubble blown up when he washes his hands, which bursts when he pokes it.

It's still going to make money, it's going to be a lot of money. Xu Ling was also a little anxious for a while, and left Yaxing to go back to the inn room, close the doors and windows to check the goods in the space.

There are thousands of pieces of porcelain, five or six hundred catties of lotus roots, a number of vegetables, a small amount of fur and wild goods, and a small amount of straw shoes and bamboo baskets......

There are also some things that are less in quantity and more messy, so Xu Ling simply won't classify them.

After thinking about it carefully, what Lou Qiaosheng said is quite reasonable, why not rent a shop and hire someone to be the shopkeeper for self-production and self-sale?

Nowadays, many people who do business are not all businessmen like Xu Ling, many of them have prominent family backgrounds, official robes, and because of the low status of businessmen, most of them will not show up in person to run the shop, but choose an agent, that is, the shopkeeper to take care of the shop.

It's really not a simple matter to find a suitable shopkeeper, but Xu Ling has no available people.

Helpless, he had to go to the tooth store first, ask other tooth people to help find a shop that could be rented, and then release the news of the shopkeeper by the way.

If there is a tooth, the speed of work is fast.

On the second day, Xu Ling learned that the shop had shown him three or four places, and the shopkeeper had also come to six people, and asked him to go and have a look.

Xu Ling went to recruit employees first, and there were six people waiting in the small courtyard of Yaxing, most of them were wearing green cloth clothes, and they didn't look so shabby with the ordinary people outside, and they gathered in twos and threes to talk.

Xu Ling looked at these people, and these people were also looking at him.

The tooth man said to Xu Ling: "Master Xu, these shopkeepers are literate, and they can also abacus, and they have at least three years of experience as a shopkeeper, and their family background and character are also certified by our dental shop. ”

Xu Ling was curious: "How much is their monthly silver?" ”

Yaxing attached his ear to Xu Ling's ear and told him the answer.

The monthly silver of these six people ranges from three taels to eight taels, and if the business is passable, they must be given some money if the annual customs are not even.

Xu Ling knew it in his heart, saying that the monthly silver of being a shopkeeper is not low, dozens of taels a year, how can it be regarded as the middle income class of this era, right?

However, the requirements are not low, you must be literate and hyphenated, and you must be able to do business and keep accounts.

Xu Ling asked some questions about these shopkeepers one by one, on the surface, it was not bad, after all, if he could be a shopkeeper for a few years, he would not be bad.

No, Xu Ling had no choice but to pull out the difficult questions that the interviewer had embarrassed him in his previous life.

"One last question. If I were a monk, how would you get me to buy a comb? ”

As soon as this problem came out, job seekers felt Xu Ling's trickiness.

"What are these words, asking the monk to buy a comb?"

"Isn't that embarrassing? What is the use of a monk asking for a comb? ”

Two shopkeepers changed their faces on the spot, and asked Xu Ling a little angrily.

The other four were meditating.

Someone told Xu Ling that he would persuade the monk to be in case of emergency, and someone told Xu Ling to persuade the monk to take a comb and give it away......

Xu Ling kept shaking his head until the penultimate man, when he asked him, he directly told Xu Ling: "Business should be based on integrity, monks don't need combs, and I recommend him It's a waste of guests' money, what's the use?" ”

I want to give up this position.

Xu Ling was silent, and after listening to the answer of the last job seeker, he said to the person who gave up: "I like what you said very much, business is based on integrity, if you are willing to be my shopkeeper, the probation period is three months, the monthly silver is five taels, and after the probationary period, the monthly silver is eight taels, and the income is shared according to you every year, what do you think?" ”

Lu Chun was stunned for a moment and agreed.

He actually couldn't think of an answer at all, he really didn't know why to sell the comb to the bald man, so he simply gave up, but he didn't expect that he would be hit instead.

Xu Ling took him to the dental store to sign a written deed, on which the obligations and responsibilities of both parties were written in black and white.

Lu Chun's reaction was a little slow, but he was serious about doing things.

Before signing and drawing, he picked up the deed and read it for a long time.

If there is a treaty that you don't understand, you will ask in advance.

"Keep the shop's affairs confidential and be held accountable for leaks?" Lu Chun hesitated, "Dare to ask what kind of business our shop is doing?" ”

Xu Ling said with a smile: "The grocery store sells everything, it depends on what goods I buy, sometimes I sell some rare things, so I use this one." ”

Lu Chun suddenly realized, and dragged out a long voice "oh", "Then I have no problem." ”

He wrote his name one by one, and the handwriting was neat and beautiful.

Xu Ling's requirements for him include but are not limited to: keeping every account clearly, taking stock of goods in and out, managing employees, collecting market information, etc.

"Good. Since you are already my shopkeeper, then come with me to see the shop. ”

Lu Chun: "Ah??? ”
