Back Off, Let Me Come

  Chapter 567 Chapter 567: Notes, let’s start a business (Part 2) [Seeking a monthly ticket]

  Shen Tang selectively ignored the word "smuggling".

   After all, the government is engaged in "smuggling", so it doesn't sound good to spread it.

  No matter how unruly she loves freedom, on the surface she still wants to cherish her feathers, pretending to cough lightly: "Why, don't you want to?"

   She did a lot of homework on the smuggling of cloth, salt and food, and there were piles of account books in the house of the land snake whose house was ransacked. After reading it, I realized that this business was originally firmly controlled by them. They paid benefits to the government office and Yongguguan to open up the relationship, and then the merchants under the door were responsible for the business. Merchants from other places want to get a share of the pie, so they have to pay several times and ten times to worship the dock with local snakes.

   Profits are exploited layer by layer.

   Even so, you can make a lot of money in one trip.

   This shows how much profit there is.

   And now, factory direct sales…

   Ah bah, the official office is over.

  "No, no, no, no—" The merchant shook his head faster than a rattle, stammering, "I think so, so much!"

  Shen Tang smiled: "Then do you have a charter?"

  Although she chose the other party, but the ability of this salt seller was not up to her expectations, she didn't mind changing to a better one.

The merchant in front of him is the salt dealer who Shen Tang accidentally rescued from going to Shiwu. When Shen Tang returned to the pass, it was because of the blessing of his ancestors.

  Back to the pass, Shen Tang ignored him.

  He could only stay and do odd jobs in order to make ends meet.

   Prepare to save some money before going back.

   This blow did not completely discourage the middle-aged him, because he knew that his family was still counting on him. As long as his life is not lost, relying on his contacts and business experience accumulated over the years, maybe he can make a comeback if he seizes a chance!

   Survive this belief for two or three months.

but-

  He never expected the opportunity to come so soon.

  Hearing that the sheriff was looking for him, he was quite frightened, and tremblingly recalled whether he had offended the other party in the past. Until he saw that unforgettable familiar face again, and heard the other party ask him if he was interested in going to Shiwu for business again, he was stunned.

   Stupid is stupid, but he is not stupid.

   In the blink of an eye, he had an idea.

  He has been smuggling in Shiwu for many years, even the most dangerous western border. He dare not say how well he knows this business, but he can definitely be called an old horse who knows the way. Listening to the salt seller's eloquent talk, she became more confident, and her eyebrows gradually became brighter. Shen Tang raised his hand.

   "Just ask how much profit you make?"

  The salt seller looked embarrassed: "It's hard to say."

   Shen Tang was puzzled and asked: "Why is it hard to say?"

  The salt dealer had no choice but to speak carefully.

   Everyone knows that salt is like gold.

  Salt, like iron, is a royal court exclusive business.

  According to the law, if a catty of salt is privately produced by the people, the toes will be chopped off, and the property will be ransacked if the amount is huge. However, the Geng Kingdom was in chaos, and the control of the royal court made it impossible for them to really hold this piece in their hands. As a result, the private private salt market is flooded, and prices vary.

Salt dealers used to buy low-priced private salt everywhere in order to maximize their profits—the price of salt is relatively low near the place of production, and if it is sold elsewhere, the profit can easily double by more than ten times. In some places there is even a salt shortage, and the price can be doubled many.

  A catty of coarse salt can easily sell for hundreds of cash.

  If it is the most salt-deficient place in Shiwu, some tribes trade directly with gold, how about one tael of gold and one tael of salt?

   Rao, Shen Tang knew that this business was profitable, and was shocked by what the salt seller said. She thought about it, and ordered someone to bring something.

  Shen Tang asked: "How about this salt?"

   This is produced by salt wells.

  Sent the lump of salt to the government office immediately. She tried the taste, and finally it did not have the bitter taste of the coarse salt used before, and was closer to the table salt in memory. With a wave of his little hand, he divided the lump of salt into two parts, and sent a small part to the canteen of the government office, so that the chef in charge of the spoon should not feel sorry for the salt, no matter how bitter it is, his tongue will be bitter! Cook with it in the future!

  The remaining income from the government office is divided into the official salary list.

  Replacing the previous coarse salt with refined salt, and a very generous salary increase—doubling the weight of salt in the salary. If the official's family has a large population and consumes a lot of salt, the official can use the overtime hours he usually works to exchange for a certain amount of refined salt.

  The salt seller uncomprehendingly lifted the covering silk and satin.

  At first glance, he was completely stunned, because the salt in front of his eyes was white and crystal clear, and the grains were distinct. With courage, he carefully twisted a few and put them in his mouth. The grains of salt actually melted in the mouth, with moderate salinity, not as bitter as he expected, but with a bit of umami.

   Better than any fine salt he had tasted before!

   "It can be called the best!"

  Salt dealers should affirm the value of this salt!

   "Shen Jun, I dare you, what is the cost of this thing?"

"The cost? I haven't calculated it yet, but it's not difficult to make them, the output is not too small, and the cost is not too high. I have no other requirements, I just need you to sell them for ten dollars! I won't let you It’s a waste of a trip, the caravan guards, food, clothing and even the goods are arranged by the official office, and if you go to the merchants, you will be promised 10% of the profit for your hard work.”

"what do you think?"

  Shen Tang originally wanted to give 20%.

  But the value of this salt dealer was not half of Xu Jie's, and considering Shiwu's profit, he changed it to 10%.

   Giving 10% is not considered stingy.

   Really not stingy.

   "Yes, yes, yes! The small one is guaranteed to be completed!" He was afraid that if he was a second late, Shen Tang would change his mind.

   Feeling his conscience, his parents are not as generous as Shen Tang! It's all about forcing wealth into his mouth!

  Although there is only a 10% profit, but he made more money in one trip than he did in the past three or five trips—because he was in business, and all he earned was hard-earned money! He needs to bring the hired guards to collect salt everywhere, and arrives in Longwu County after a lot of hardships, and then spends a lot of real money to worship the local snakes, and gets a special "Salt Citation Document" from them, which will last forever. Only when it is closed over there will it be released.

   Entering Shiwu territory, you have to pay for management, tense your nerves every day, hoping that you will be lucky and not be robbed by refugees.

   After a trip, I need to do some favors when I come back.

   What really went to him was not much left compared to what he earned, but Shen Jun directly crossed out many unnecessary expenses for him.

  Longwu County belongs to Shen Jun.

  One paper document, Yongguguan has to let it go.

  The key is that this is an exclusive business.

  There are no competitors, and only you have salt in your hands. A tribe that lacks salt and lacks madness, why don’t they grab salt and break their heads?

The salt seller was satisfied, and Shen Tang was also satisfied. She finally saw the light of being debt-free, and she added a bit of joy on her face: "This is very good, very good! Then you wait another half a month until you have enough money If you need two catties for the trip, you can gather all the men and horses to go on the road."

  The salt seller went down with gratitude.

   When Gu Chi heard about this, he frowned.

   "10%, isn't that too much?"

It's nothing to give Xu Jie 40% of the profit. This person can still be useful in the future. It is not a loss to maintain the relationship. Moreover, the big and small forces in the customs are fighting, and the private salt market is chaotic. Make money safely.

  40% is reasonable.

  But a private salt merchant...

   Giving 10% is too much.

   "A bit more, but worth it."

Shen Tang said with a smile: "The right is to buy his experience. Except for him, the others are ours. It is convenient to 'steal a teacher'. With his familiarity with Shiwu, he can also act as a guide to lead our young The younger generation is familiar with Shiwu...isn't it just right?"

  Shen Tang is not going to let the salt dealer continue to work, and he will cross the river and demolish the bridge after his own people are familiar with the business.

   Anyway, the initiative is on your side.

  Shen Tang put down his pen and saw a sealed letter in Gu Chi's hand, his eyes lit up and he said, "Written notes?"

  Gu Chi nodded: "Just arrived."

   Fresh and hot.

  He wanted to know the answer immediately, so he acted as a messenger and personally escorted the letter to Shen Tang.

   "Let me see."

  Open, ten lines at a glance.

  Shen Tang's eyebrows were filled with joy visible to the naked eye, and he smiled lightly and said, "I'll just say it, the text notes are very popular with me."

  Xu answered.

   To show her sincerity, the silkworm seed leaves she needed were delivered twice as much, and a price was added on top of the friendship price. If it wasn't for the fear of losing people's tongue, Xu Jie even wanted to give it away for nothing.

  However, it was enough for Shen Tang to see his attitude.

  Gu Chi agrees with this statement, but he is a little displeased: "This person is very knowledgeable, but—he's too tactful."

  This is true for Wu Xian, let alone Shen Tang?

  Shen Tang laughed at him.

   "You are a bit of a scumbag."

   "Scumbag?"

  She explained: "Those who play with other people's feelings and are not loyal, men are scumbags, and women are scumbags."

  Gu Chi showed the expression of a subway grandfather, and said wrongly: "...Chi, why are you playing with Xu Wenzhu's feelings?"

Shen Tang finally couldn't hold back his laughter: "Wen Zhu's attitude is a bit ambiguous. He is like a person who has a regular relationship partner. He has a deep affection for Wu Zhaode, but he can't stand the attack of a third party and has been shaken several times. Well, We are the third party."

"We obviously benefited from him and hoped that his every move would be as we expected, but you felt that his vacillating behavior was a bit 'disloyal', and we didn't like it. You see, does this look like a scumbag? Work hard To seduce a good family by means, and when the good family obeys, I dislike the good family for not tightening their waists..."

  Gu Chi: "..."

  It’s okay if the lord doesn’t say anything, this one—

  I seem to be a bit scumbag.

Shen Tang sighed: "A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, and there is no perfect person in the world. Wen Zhu is just an ordinary person, so there is no need to demand anything from him. Besides, he was originally under Wu Zhaode's tent, and it is really not easy for him to help us so much. As the head of the Xu family, it is not easy to worry about the whole family."

  She quite likes this money-spreading boy, who talks less and does more work. If he hadn't belonged to Wu Zhaode early on, she would really want to dig the wall with a hoe. Moreover, her cousin is still working under her tent, and the child is still working hard.

  Gu Chi heard the words, his face was taught.

   "The heart of the lord is not as good as the pool."

The production and sales of salt are generally arranged clearly, and the next thing is to wait for the gold to fly into her pocket. Can you find it all?"

   "Find everything."

  The terraced houses dedicated to silkworm rearing have been built for a while.

   "Where are the skilled craftsmen?"

  Gu Chi said: "I heard it mentioned in the past two days that everyone is already on standby at the artisan workshop near the government office."

  Why are you looking for skilled craftsmen?

  Naturally, to optimize the textile machinery, it only needs a little improvement to be more efficient than the current machine.

  She just wants to "seek trouble for nothing" now.

   Let everyone in Longwu County roll up!

   ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

   This chapter is a little fatter.

   There is one more chapter during the day.

   PS: In a blink of an eye, it turned out to be the end of the month again, woo woo woo, do you have a monthly pass?
