Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"But you are the head of the cell, so you can't do business." The second uncle said again: "The name of the store is under your third uncle's name. The store is yours, but you are not the one who runs it. You will lease it to your third uncle."

Ding Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of something: "Okay, for third uncle, I will lease it to third uncle."

Anyway, he just wanted to help those folks. Although he said that after paying taxes this year, everyone still has a balance. After all, they haven’t paid taxes for three years, and the family has some food, but it doesn’t mean that they will be so "rich" in the future.

Merchants all over the world make more profits.

Food is an indispensable commodity for survival. It is normal for these people to buy at low prices and sell at high prices, but it is rare for such a low price to be pressed by the Gao family.

The memory of the former owner told Ding Tian that the price of grain in the past was twice as high as the purchase price, but the selling price was about the same.

It can be seen that the other party is looking at five years of bumper harvests, and there is no profit in the grain, so they start desperately reducing the purchase price. The cheap grain will not hurt the merchants like them, but the farmers who are farming.

Ding Tian is the kind who feeds the whole family by himself, and has a little spare money in his hand, which is more than enough to start a business, but he is not good enough for business, so he can only think of opening a grain store. Anyway, there is only one professional grain store in the whole county now. , he opened a second one, it’s okay, right?

However, opening a store is not just a matter of a hot head. After the third uncle knew his plan, he told him: "Yes, we can collect the grain now and store it. After the spring of next year, we will open the store. At that time, the price of the grain will also be sold. Even if it is temporary With no money in hand, the folks in the village can also pay on credit first, and then return our new grain after the autumn harvest. Those grain stores in the past have always done this. It’s a pity... Now there is only Gao’s one, and Scorpion Baba alone That’s why I dare to lower the price, and I don’t want to sell grain to them.”

The third uncle's field produces a lot, but if it is really sold to the Gao family's grain store, it doesn't mean that much after all.

"Okay, then the store will be 'leased' to Uncle San, two taels of silver a year." Ding Tian offered a super low price.

"Come on, your shop has five taels of silver a year, and people rent it out. I'll give you ten taels of silver a year." Uncle San was happy: "But I guess I have to live in your house, the east wing is good. , leave it to me, I will take your big cousin there, it will only open in the spring anyway, so there is enough for us father and son."

Farmers are not good at doing other business, but selling grain and buying grain is instinctive, and there is no need to learn it at all, and you can learn it without a teacher.

"We have to find a reliable shopkeeper." Ding Tian told them: "Our family can do farming, but we must not engage in business. In case our children will be successful in the future..."

Three generations of merchants cannot take imperial examinations. This is an iron law.

"Yes, yes, our family just opened a shop and asked the shopkeeper to take care of it. All the products we sell are from our own village." The second uncle was in business, so he immediately understood: "Even my The grocery stores are all under your second aunt's name."

Men can be regarded as merchants in business, and women are much more tolerant, saying that this is a woman's dowry, and even the county magistrate will not ask more questions.

It is true that the second uncle opened a grocery store at the door of his house after he married the second aunt, and he used the name of the second aunt's dowry.

After all, the daughter-in-law married to the third cousin of the second aunt's uncle's family is the daughter of a businessman who also runs a grocery store.

The relatives who are turning the corner are also relatives.

What's the big deal about someone who is an uncle marrying his niece and daughter a business method that runs a grocery store?This is the benefit of men being superior to women in ancient times. It is natural for women to manage their own dowry. If a man runs a grocery store, the whole family must be registered as a merchant.

"Then it's settled. I'll go find the old village head!" The second uncle is very active. After all, these years, he thinks that doing business is not bad, at least it can guarantee the harvest in drought and flood. Unlike farming, it depends on God's face. , I have long wanted my younger brother's family to do something, and we can't rely on the little promise in the field.
