Chapter 23: A Win-Win Situation for Business (Part I)
Emperor Hades watched that his sister and sister were inseparable from the ancestor of the feather.
It can also be seen that he didn't use all his strength, so he didn't go up to fight.
Within the enchantment of his four-qi phantom body, there was the qi of the ancestor of the feather, as if it was covering something.
This qi suddenly came out of a figure, "Go die, Emperor Shenzun!"
Yan Ying and Purple Evil were not affected by this incident and continued to fight against the Feather Ancestor Wing Xue.
Emperor Hades turned around and left his arm surrounded by thunder and lightning, piercing through the figure's body.
After penetration, he took some beating hearts in his hands, and his hands were squeezed tightly, and his heart was broken.
At first glance, Emperor Hades was one of the ten demon saints.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to hide here, I wanted to accept your demon saint to do something big for the Three Realms, alas, forget it, go die!"
Before the words fell, two beams of lightning flashed from the eyes of the Emperor of the Underworld, and Shang Yang turned into dust.
"Bold, so presumptuous in front of me. Yi Xue dodged Yan Ying and Purple Evil with a dazzling shadow and mist, and came to the Hazel Emperor Hazel.
Yixue said to Hazel Cheng, "Arrogant Hazel, others call you Emperor Hades, I don't have time to play, when I kill people in front of me, I want to beat you until you serve, so that you can take me as the master." ”
The two of them tore and fought, the speed became faster and faster, and the moves became more and more ruthless.
Yan Ying and Purple Evil were just about to go up to help, but the Emperor of the Four Qi Phantom Body said, "Sisters, don't help, I am enough for one person, and I will definitely subdue her."
At this moment, Wu Jinglian, the centipede spirit in the north, took four hundred goblins around to help the land, mountain gods, and Baojia immortals to subdue the goblins who bullied them.
The goblins who can have mana stronger than her, she will persuade them in various ways.
Some goblins in the west who have no strength and no backers have entered the Demon Realm, because at least there is the attention of Emperor Hades here, and no one dares to mess too much, because the Demon Realm is in the west, in the middle of the area managed by Zeus and Lingshan.
Zhao Gongming, who was still reincarnated in the world, accepted three apprentices to take care of his business.
For the time being, Zhao Gongming mainly deals in wine, hotels, cloth, grain, etc.
Ten years ago, Zhao Gongming was still selling wine, shortbread, steamed buns and other roadside inns, how did such a big family business come about now?
It was 10 years ago.
Ten years ago, the north was in turmoil, and the wars continued. Many families have been ruined.
Set up a stall with his wife on the side of the road, put a few tables and chairs, sell wine, steam steamed cakes, steamed steamed buns, and stir-fry a few side dishes.
Although it is not rich and expensive, it is also food, clothing and clothing.
But not long after, the rebels invaded the city, burned, killed, and plundered, and the city was in tatters.
Zhao Gongming took his wife and prepared to go south, but he heard that there were few wars in the south, and even the emperor ran to the south.
In this way, Zhao Gongming and his wife picked up their savings and went south to survive.
After crossing the Yangtze River, while resting with his wife on the side of the road, he met three children, who looked to be about ten years old.
The three children came to ask for food, Zhao Gongming was just about to give it food, and when another person next to him gave it to others, a group of ragged people who fled the disaster rushed up.
Zhao Gongming had no choice but to take his wife and let the three children come to a remote place.
He brought out the baked bread and water and gave them three, and although the three of them seemed to be hungry for a long time, they chewed and swallowed slowly.
"Children, what about your parents, how long have you been hungry?" Zhao Gongming's wife was very maternal.
"Thank you, benefactor, the three of us are cousins, we are from the Eastern Turks, steppe children, my name is Ying Cheng, this is my uncle's younger brother is called Ying Yang, and that is my uncle's sister, called Ying Yun. The child's eldest Ying Cheng said.
Ying Yang said, "Benefactor, we are members of the Ying family, the lord of Jiatian City in the eastern Turkic region, the paternal line is the general who guards the city, and the maternal line must be from a business family. In this way, we have our Ying family, and we have our mother's family, which can be said to be a peaceful and rich city. ”
"Benefactor, just a few months ago, the lord of the city next door attempted treason, because our two cities are just on the border, and because of this, our city is rich in business.
However, my eldest brother's father happened to be the new lord of the city, and he did not agree to treason. In this way, he led them to attack our city, hoping to deter the surrounding cities, so that he could make achievements and be courteous to the enemy country. Ying Yun said while eating.
"That's right, my father defeated them with soldiers, because our family is all in business, so we use the most advanced weapons, my uncle, led two hundred men to the frontier general to complain, let him deal with this matter.
But the frontier army also treasoned and killed my uncle on the spot. "Win Cheng shed tears and drank water.
"The frontier army led soldiers and horses from several surrounding cities, and about 50,000 people attacked the city. But my family has been practicing martial arts and leading soldiers for generations, familiar with the art of war, business acumen, and the city is impregnable, with 50,000 horses, and was repelled by 8,000 soldiers in the city. My second uncle was also killed in this battle," Ying Yun said.
"The enemy country was afraid of delaying the warplane, so he sent a marshal to lead 200,000 and 30,000 remnants of the frontier army, a total of 30,000 or 40,000 remnants of the frontier army, and my father was finally outnumbered, and held out for 77 days, and the city was broken. Ying Yun continued.
"The accompanying historian wanted to record the battle, the marshal was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, killed the only two historians, the marshal attacked for a long time, and ordered the slaughter of the city in a fit of anger, my uncle led the troops to resist, and also died on the battlefield, and finally my eldest brother mother sent us out from the dark passage, who knew that a few sharp arrows flew in the sky, my eldest brother and mother she 。。。。。。 Ying Yang cried.
"After the slaughter of the city, there were no dogs left, and after we buried our mother with both hands, we went south, intending to take revenge when we grew up. "Win into wiping away tears.
"Then follow us, we are your parents. "Zhao Gongming plans to adopt them.
The three brothers and sisters of the Ying family knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Gongming and his wife, "My brother and sister thank the benefactor for adoption, we swear to avenge the family, and we can only recognize the benefactor as my brother and sister-in-law, please forgive me!"
"Okay, okay, then we're a family. Zhao Gongming and his wife helped up their three children.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we have been investigating for a long time, and there is a city three days away, which is a good place to do business, where there is the largest flow of people in the north and south, with a large population, especially suitable for business, especially dry food, which is a must-have for the people and businessmen. ”
Ying Cheng patted the ashes on his body.
Zhao Gongming and his wife were very happy, "Let's go, let's go." ”
When I arrived at the gate of the city, it was written "Guangling County"
When the five of them walked into the city, they happened to see an inn selling it.
Zhao Gongming took out his savings and went down to the store, and after cleaning it, he found that the three Ying brothers and sisters were missing.
In the evening, the three siblings came back, and it happened that Zhao Gongming and his wife made dinner.
When the family of five was eating, Zhao Gongming was about to ask where they had gone.
Ying Yun spoke by herself, "Brother Gongming, today I used a steamed bun and asked the beggar, the grain store at the gate of the city is the cheapest, let's go after eating, and it will open tomorrow." ”
At this moment, Ying Cheng said, "Brother Gongming, I asked the people who fled the disaster at the city gate today, and learned that there was a large area of crops in the northeast of the city, where the carriage and horses traveled for three days.
I plan to open the shop a few days later, and then lead people to harvest, and in the next few days, my brother and I will set up a stall not far from the city gate to sell dry food to those who go out of the city and enter the city.
Today, my brother and I have become acquainted with the soldiers guarding the city gate, and we plan to send some silver taels after a while and set up a stall inside the city gate to take care of them. ”
Ying Yang also said, "I will ask my sister to write more paper, and I promise the beggars in the city to have a steamed bun every day, and let them stick it on their backs, so that the people and big families living in the city know about our storefront." ”
Zhao Gongming was stunned for a moment, he had been running a stall for several years, and he didn't expect it to be so comprehensive.
Zhao Gongming's wife said, "Win, how can you go so far alone to harvest a dealer that no one wants?"
Ying Cheng smiled, "Sister-in-law, it's all to blame for me not making it clear, do you remember the place where we met?
Almost all of them are farmers, as long as they go there to recruit people, just two full meals, there will be a group of people rushing to do it, and when the grain is shipped back, they will also process it, and when the time comes, we will select honest and obedient, young and strong people to be our subordinates, and they can also protect us.
When the crops are harvested within ten days of driving, we should be able to set up a grain store, and for safety and cost, we will not go north to harvest crops that no one wants.
Ying Yang is responsible for purchasing the grain from the surrounding cities, he will negotiate the price, and will also identify the quality of the grain, and collect some silk at will.
Let my sister teach the women who fled from the north to weave cloth and make wine,
In this way, then I am responsible for selling wine, cloth, and grain from one merchant to another, and the reliable old merchants in the later stage, we can also sell the goods first, let them pay half of the price, and settle half of the money when they enter the next batch of goods, so as to give the merchants enough capital flow. ”
Zhao Gongming asked Yingcheng, "How long will it take for these plans to be realized?"
Ying Cheng replied, "It will take two years to collect grain and silk, and you have to comfort the leaders of the officers and soldiers in the city with silver taels." ”
"I'll go to the city gate to buy rice and noodles, stay up all night to make dry food, and wait for my first fortune tomorrow. Lady, you clean up the table and wait for me to come back and do it together"
After speaking, Zhao Gongming took Ying Cheng and Ying Yang to the city gate to buy rice and noodles.
The three brothers and sisters of the Ying family are not only familiar with soldiers and horses, have business acumen, but also can make steamed buns and baked cakes, and they are no worse than Zhao Gongming.
It was almost dawn, and the five of them planned to rest for a while.
There were many knocks on the door.
"Yingcheng, you go open the door and see who's coming?" Zhao Gongming squinted.
Win Cheng opened the door, many beggars, men, women and children, hundreds of people.
Zhao Gongming and the others were dumbfounded.
It turned out that Ying Yang told a few beggars yesterday that the back sticker was a steamed bun a day.
As soon as it was spread from ten to hundred, so many beggars came.
The beggars crowded in were noisy and shouting.
Ying Yang is now shouting on the table, "If you want steamed buns, give me to stand outside the door!"
The beggars all walked out of the door, standing crookedly.
Zhao Gongming said to Yingcheng, "So many beggars, you take out so many steamed buns before you start selling, do you have any solution?"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
"Everyone lined up, one by one came in, receiving steamed buns, crowded, interpolated, disobedient, none of them.
Now everyone gets half a steamed bun, and when they come back in the evening, they get the other half of the steamed bun.
Now start to receive half a steamed bun, and when we stick the paper on your back, you can go,
It turns out that where to go to beg, where to go, it will not affect everyone to get rich, haha,
When you come in the evening, those who still have paper on their backs are receiving the other half of the steamed buns, and those who don't have paper don't come to receive them.
Our steamed buns and baked cakes, choose one of the two, our family's dry food is twice the size of other people's, have you heard it?" Ying Cheng shouted as he stood on the table.
"I hear you!" replied the beggars aloud.
"I didn't hear clearly, shout again, do you hear clearly?" shouted Yingcheng.
"Hear me!" the beggars shouted louder this time than the last time.
