Learning God in Hand, I Have the World

Feng Ming had government affairs to deal with, and Zhuang Li had to go back to see his sister, so the two parted in front of the Zhuang mansion.

"I'll go back to the study tomorrow to study." Zhuang Li stood on the steps and waved.

Feng Ming looked at him reluctantly.

"I have a poor memory. I can't memorize an article of hundreds of words for several hours. You have to urge me." Zhuang Li smiled brilliantly.

Feng Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed too.

"I won't let you go home until you finish memorizing the book." He took the boy's hand.

Zhuang Li stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed the corner of his upturned lips, then ran into the house.

Feng Ming stood at the door for a long time before leaving step by step.

In the yard, Mr. Tan was drying the medicine. Seeing Zhuang Li's slightly unnatural gait and the red marks on his neck, he immediately snorted, "Where did you go so happy yesterday?"

"Go happily with Feng Ming." Zhuang Li didn't hide it either.

Old Tan's eyes widened suddenly, he looked up and down at his apprentice, his tone was very surprised: "You have such a small body, you and Feng Ming?"

Zhuang Li felt insulted.His skill is at SSS level, I don't know how much better than Feng Ming, the one who can't stand it is obviously Feng Ming!

Feng Ming almost died on him yesterday.

However, before he could explain himself, Mr. Tan hastily ran back to the house, took out a white porcelain jar, and said, "Go back and wipe it on yourself. In the future, wipe a little before going to bed every day, which will save you from suffering. You are not forced right?"

"No, Feng Ming'er and I are together, no one is forcing anyone." Zhuang Li explained earnestly.

In this era, the master is equal to the father, and he naturally has everything to say about his father.

Only then did Mr. Qin heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "That's good, or else I'll feed you a fake death pill and send you out of Beijing as a teacher."

Zhuang Li walked forward with a smile, and gently hugged Tan Lao.

Tan Lao pushed him away with disgust on his face, and he couldn't help laughing.

It's good that these two worrying children got together.

After Zhuang Li returned to his room, he fell into a deep sleep and woke up at noon. As soon as he got up, he heard his sister whimpering, "Brother, brother, give me an idea."

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Li put on his robe and opened the door lazily.

"Brother, did you have a good time last night?" Zhuang Xiaohui pointed at his neck covered with red marks.

"Yes, I found you a sister-in-law, and I'll bring it back for you to see." Zhuang Li was afraid of scaring his sister, so he only revealed a little bit.

"Is my sister-in-law so good?" Zhuang Xiaohui swallowed.

Through these traces of confusion, she can fully imagine the boldness and enthusiasm of her sister-in-law.Ordinary women don't do this, do they?

"I'm much better than your sister-in-law. He was almost pissed off by me—"

Zhuang Li's beaming description was interrupted by Zhuang Xiaohui in time: "Brother, stop! I'm a girl, are you sure you want me to listen to this?"

"Ahem, why did you come to see me?" Zhuang Li took a sip from his teacup and asked in a serious manner.

"This is a post from the textile merchant. They invited me to drink tea and watch a play at Liuyunzhai this afternoon." Zhuang Xiaohui placed a beautifully crafted post on the table.

Zhuang Li immediately guessed the intention of the Chamber of Commerce, and sneered: "They want to collectively put pressure on you and ask you to raise prices?"

"Yes, the quality of our cotton cloth is very good and the price is cheap. Almost everyone can afford it. Recently, it has been selling like crazy. Not only people from all over the city came to our store to buy cloth, but people in the surrounding towns also heard about it. When they came, there were a lot of people who had been on the road for several days. When they bought them, they carried them back in bundles, and some were dragged by bullock carts. The threshold of our store was trampled down several times.”

Zhuang Xiaohui was both proud and distressed: "In this case, other shops in the city will have no business, so they joined forces to make me raise prices."

"What do you think?" Zhuang Li didn't give his sister any advice, but guided her step by step.

"I don't raise the price. Our cloth is produced by machines, with a large output and low cost, so we can still make money at this price. Although I earn more after the price increase, many poor people can no longer afford cloth. Seeing that autumn is coming and winter is coming soon, I want everyone to be able to buy cloth and make clothes to keep out the cold. I want to make money and be worthy of my conscience.”

The more Zhuang Xiaohui spoke, the firmer her tone became, she had already made up her mind.

"If you disagree with the price increase, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely make a move. Can you guess their next move?" Zhuang Li continued to guide.

"They should join hands to monopolize my supply of goods and order all cloth workshops or weaving girls not to sell me the cloth in their hands. But they never imagined that our cloth is all produced by machines, and there is no need to go outside to buy goods. Their monopoly is of great importance to me. I don't work, I'm not afraid of them."

Zhuang Xiaohui sneered disdainfully.

"You don't want to fight back when they attack you?" Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Peace should be the most important thing in business. They can't do anything to me, and gradually they will give up." Zhuang Xiaohui's voice became softer as she spoke, because her brother's eyes were sharp, and she obviously disagreed.

"When they dealt with you, they didn't think that peace is the most important thing. Their goal is to kill you. So, why can't you kill them? As long as you operate properly, you can completely destroy [-]% of the capital in this confrontation. Seventy or eighty shops."

"Collapse seventy-eight out of ten shops in one go?" Zhuang Xiaohui was startled.

She didn't even dare to think about such a big deal.

However, after the astonishment passed, a strong sense of pleasure welled up in her heart again, as if if she didn't do this, she would have trouble getting through it.

She really wanted to see the group of men who looked down on her from the chamber of commerce kneeling at her feet and weeping bitterly. This reminded her of those beggars who hugged her legs and begged bitterly when they were dying.

Her spine slowly hardened and straightened at that moment.

"Brother, what should I do?" Zhuang Xiaohui's eyes were frighteningly bright.

"The cloth in the shop comes from the cloth workshop, but where does the cloth in the cloth workshop come from?" Zhuang Li pointed out.

Zhuang Xiaohui's eyes became brighter and brighter: "The cloth in the cloth workshop is made of cotton. Brother, I understand, they monopolize the source of cloth, and I can monopolize the cotton! Anyway, we have our own factory, no matter how much cotton we buy, we are not afraid of wasting it. We can weave it all into cloth and sell it!"

Zhuang Xiaohui pounded on the table with her fist, and said in an extremely excited tone, "If I have a monopoly on cotton, I can continue to produce good-quality and cheap cloth. But it's not necessarily the case with the chamber of commerce.

"The quality of the cloth they collect from various workshops or from the Weaver Girl's hands is uneven. The more they buy it, the rarer it will be and the more expensive it will be. Their cost will be double, triple, or even mine. Ten times. It is impossible for them to sell cloth at a lower price, and they will only lose money. But if they do not lower the price, people will not patronize their shops, because the supply of goods here is sufficient, and the people will not worry about having no place to buy cloth.

"One month, two months, three months of stalemate, I will only make a lot of money, and the life of the chamber of commerce will be difficult. Without cotton, the workshop can't produce cloth, and they can't get in the goods , If I don’t sell cloth to them, they can only go bankrupt! Except for a few shops selling high-end silk, it is difficult for other workshops or shops to survive.”

Zhuang Xiaohui clapped her hands excitedly: "Brother, after this battle, I will become the most powerful cloth merchant in Beijing, and no one will want to wrestle with me in the mall in the future!"

She laughed happily for a while, and then her face collapsed: "Brother, the plan is very good, but the problem is that I don't have that much money to monopolize the cotton on the market."

"Brother can borrow money from your sister-in-law, but you will have to pay back [-]% of the interest to your sister-in-law in the future, will it work?" Zhuang Li spread out a pen and paper.

"Is my sister-in-law so rich?" Zhuang Xiaohui was extremely surprised, and then shook her head again and again: "It's no big deal, you and sister-in-law didn't say anything, it's not easy to talk about money, it will affect your relationship."

"Your sister-in-law is as rich as a country, this amount of money is nothing to him." Zhuang Li chuckled and whispered as he wrote on the long note: "I have met your sister-in-law's elders, don't say anything, I The two even cooked raw rice. If I borrow money from him, he will only be happy, because I don't treat him as an outsider."

Zhuang Xiaohui hesitated, "Really?"

"Really, you just wait at home with peace of mind."

Zhuang Li handed the note to the porter.

The porter immediately mounted a fast horse and went to the palace.

Zhuang Li spread out a piece of paper and said slowly: "Manually peeling cotton seeds is a very laborious work. A worker can only process a few catties of cotton a day, which will greatly slow down your production speed. The machine I am designing now It is called a cotton gin, driven by water power, which can peel more than 900 catties of cotton seeds a day, but only one person operates it. With it, your production cost will be further reduced, but the production efficiency will be doubled. In such a situation Now, ordinary handicraft workshops are simply unable to compete with you."

Zhuang Li drew the parts on several pieces of paper and warned: "Find different carpenters and blacksmiths to build them, and don't let them see the clues. If someone learns it, your factories and shops will go bankrupt."

Zhuang Xiaohui nodded again and again, looking at her brother with fanatical admiration in her eyes.

On the other end, Feng Ming, who received the note, quickly took out the code stick to wrap it around, saw the patchwork of words clearly, and couldn't help laughing: 【Husband, can you give me some homework? 】

How much is a "husband" worth?

Zhuang Xiaohui knew the answer soon.

She stared dumbfounded at the ten large boxes carried into the yard by the servant, each box would emit bright golden light when opened, and it was actually full of gold ingots neatly.

The housekeeper asked Zhuang Xiaohui to count, but she was so frightened that she waved her hands again and again, fearing that she would not be able to bear this too huge number.

"Brother, it turns out that my sister-in-law is really rich, and you didn't brag!" She sighed, patting her chest.

After reading the letter from Feng Ming, Zhuang Li pointed to the burly men carrying the boxes and said, "These are the manpower lent to you by your sister-in-law. They also have a group of heroes under their command. They are all retired soldiers with excellent martial arts skills. Gao Qiang. With their protection, you can go to major production areas to buy cotton without worrying about encountering robbers on the road. You can use this batch of gold as you like, but after two years, you have to return it to your sister-in-law with interest It's not easy for him to run that big business."

"Of course! I will definitely pay back the money to my sister-in-law as soon as possible. It turns out that my sister-in-law is also in business, which is great!" Zhuang Xiaohui immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, "Come on, everyone, please help me, so I can keep an account and write an IOU."

After counting the huge sum of money, Zhuang Xiaohui changed into a luxurious long dress and went to Liuyunzhai to attend the meeting with great interest.

"What kind of business do women do? They show their faces all day long, greet and see off, and don't worry about shame! If I were your father, I would break your legs and marry you to a beggar!" her words.

She wants to let these people know today - women are not born to marry, women can also be the richest businessman in Dayan!

Her sister-in-law is her role model!
