Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

“But I definitely can’t let my sister-in-law lose money!”

Tanchun knew that Li Wan definitely didn't come to her to vent his frustrations. It was Tan Chunqi who took the lead at that time, but now she must be the one to reveal the truth to Li Wan.

"Since my sister-in-law thinks it's slow, why don't we open another store that makes money quickly?"

"Is there still a store like this?"

Li Wan just felt that Tanchun was fooling him. If he really made money quickly, why didn't he open this store first?

"Of course there is a reason."

Tan Chun finished explaining a set of business tips to Li Wan, and finally recommended food to Li Wan according to the four most profitable ways of "food, clothing, housing and transportation".

"There are so many restaurants and restaurants near the Imperial College. We can still make money by setting up a small shop that sells Zhuangyuan cakes and other snacks. Moreover, the investment is small and we can see the profits every day."

There are many types of modern fast food. You can make money by just finding a hamburger and steamed buns.

"It sounds good, but I have no money!"

Before opening a bookstore, Li Wan had to take out his family's wealth.

"This is exactly what I want to tell my sister-in-law. This bookstore does not make money, and I feel ashamed of my sister-in-law, so I went to tell the master."

"Seeing that the shop is already open, I don't want us to close it at a loss, so I am willing to use my own money to buy it back. I wanted to talk to my sister-in-law before, but I was afraid that she would be too worried."

"Ouch!"

Li Wan was surprised and happy, this solved her problem. "If the master wants it, let's just pay it to him directly. How can we still ask for money?"

"How can this be done? The master said that he saw Lan'er diligent and studious every day, so he wanted to reward him. But if he was rewarded too much, he was afraid that Bao Yuhuan'er would be jealous of him and cause a disagreement between their uncle and nephew, so he did not dare to care too much about Lan Ge Son."

"Actually, the master has always been paying attention to Lange'er!"

"How could I not know?"

Li Wan was moved to tears. As a posthumous son, Jialan was loved and hated by everyone.

Among them, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were the most complicated.

They lost their adult son and gained a grandson as young as Jialan. It would definitely not be worth the same.

Besides, the servants of Jia Mansion can arrange troubles no matter what. There are both those who say Jialan Ke is a relative and those who say Jialan’s father is unknown!

Isn't the reason why she, Li Wan, spends money to shut up the mouths of these evil people because she is afraid of offending others?

Li Wan was a widow, so he couldn't go to his father-in-law Jia Zheng to help Jia Lan gain attention, so he could only win over the people below him and speak good words to Jia Lan.

Now that Tanchun had asked Jia Zheng to help clean up the mess, he had forgotten that it was Tanchun who had done it. Seeing that Jia Zheng was satisfied with the money, he immediately agreed.

"You don't need to spend so much money, just get your money back."

"My sister-in-law doesn't have any say! The master said that he will pay for the money, and my sister-in-law will just keep it. It's all going to Lange'er anyway."

Tanchun handed the box containing the money to Li Wan for inspection, "I thought that once we get started, we should never look back. If we can't open a bookstore, let's open a food shop, right?"

"Moreover, the bookstore has a large investment, while the food store has a small investment. Only half of the money is enough."

Li Wan also thought that there would be no turning back after starting work. Now that we have opened a book store and have the reputation of a merchant, it is easy to open a food store.

So he paid Tanchun again.

"I don't have to worry about it this time. I'm just waiting to settle the accounts and collect the money."

"Okay! I won't let my sister-in-law suffer a loss. We'll share the profit equally. If I lose, I'll find someone to solve it. I won't let my sister-in-law suffer a loss."

Tanchun sent Li Wan away with a smile, and then went to find Jia Zheng with the bookstore's deed.

Jia Zheng is an official, and as an official he cannot do business.

Therefore, when Tanchun used the bookstore to help Jia's family recruit talents, he took advantage of the information gap and made a sure deal.

She told Jia Zheng that she would open a store in her own name, find talents, and then provide small favors to support the talents.

When the emotions are almost cultivated, he will be sent into the officialdom through Jia Zheng. Even waiting for them to enter the officialdom before sending them to Qingyun.

This method was very approved by Jia Zheng.

He usually looks for Qing guests, and he doesn't just like to talk and have fun. He originally wanted to find civil servants to accompany him.

However, people who want to be the guests of powerful people are themselves people who have no ability and love to take advantage of others. Therefore, Jia Zheng has been cultivating talents for so long, but he still has not been able to take advantage of them.

Not as talented as Jia Yucun whom Lin Ruhai picked up!

Therefore, Tanchun's statement just tickled his itch.

Jia Zheng could not directly ask Li Wan to use Li Shouzhong's connections, because it would become a family-to-family favor. In this way, Jia's family was asking for help and would suffer a loss, so they used the method of exploring spring.

Tanchun's method is to find Li Wan to open a store and attract people according to his own store. In this way, Li Shouzhong's connections and favors belong to their own family, and the Jia family does not owe the Li family any favors.

On the contrary, Li Wan still owed Jia Zheng a favor and knew that Jia Zheng did not care about his grandson Jia Lan.

"Master, it's been done. All that's left is for you to arrange the people."

Tanchun asked Jia Zheng for reimbursement. She gave Li Wan 300 taels and asked for 500 taels from Jia Zheng.

"Sir, since we have a bookstore, why don't we just open a printing factory?"

Tan Chun launched another "fooling" game against Jia Zheng.

"If you lose money to maintain a shop, it won't last long after all. I know that there are few scholars nowadays, and most printing houses use stereotype printing. It's not easy to make mistakes, but it's not as good as movable type printing! By then, it will be easy for the master to publish his own books."

Tanchun knew that Jia Zheng was a scholar at heart and hoped to achieve success in reading, so he took out a book to fool Jia Zheng.

"Besides, let's be more flexible and help publish books for people who have the same interests as the master, and we can earn more friendships."

"How to say?"

Jia Zheng asked with interest. He was already used to Tanchun's whimsical thoughts.

"In the past, when I communicated with others, I had to be rigorous and busy with business. But I will always grow old one day. If I don't serve as an official that day, wouldn't it be a good time to carry forward my hobbies?"

"Now we are ahead of schedule. We have a factory first to help the adults who have retired to make their names known. They still have children and students in the officialdom. Can we not help the master?"

"Makes sense."

Jia Zheng thought about it, "Then what should we do? Just open it as large as possible and it will be a waste. If we open it as small as possible, it will be useless..."

"Master, you can ask Uncle Jing! He has a Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing. Let's build a small one next to him, and ask Uncle Jing to help look after it. It's not a factory, it's for ancestor worship. Let's build a farm. Make money!”

Tanchun gave her final statement. With the farm, she would not have to starve in the future.

"let me think again."

Jia Zheng didn't have much money now, and all the money was used to build the provincial residence.

But he was ambitious, so he remembered it.
