513 King of Han
"Wait, didn't I say my mother would be a thousand gold medal?" Wang Yizhen stopped. Why do you feel that anyone who has something to do with her will be extremely poor? Isn't Xiao Wan'er a thousand gold medal? Isn't she the one who has a thousand gold medals? She doesn't do anything else. She can draw at home without any more than five pairs a day, and it's not too little if she's 150,000 taels a month.
"A thousand yuan of painting is after your mother's death." Tao Ran said: "It was not the price before the wife passed away. What's more, most of the paintings bought by her are her admirers. Who can earn 5,000 yuan a day to sell her paintings? Besides, what is the value of five paintings a day? Your mother only chooses one for sale in a month."
To put it bluntly, no matter how much Xiao Wan'er sells paintings, she will maintain a basic life. In fact, if she is willing to copy all the knowledge, it will be more than a thousand yuan. However, although there are many people asking for books, Xiao Wan'er is unwilling to write more books. So far, Wang Yi really knows that the complete books she wrote are, namely "Chronicles of the Flower Dynasty" and "Strange Skills and Tricks". This is why Xiao Wan'er's reputation for being cold.
Therefore, when Xiao Wan'er was alive, she could not spend any extra money to build this house, but this was the most important job she had to ask Tao Zhuangtou before she died. Thinking that the house would be left to Wang Yizhen in the future, Tao Zhuangtou did not stop working after Xiao Wan'er's death. Later, Hui Xin insisted on saying that Wang Yizhen was dead. Tao Zhuangtou was half-believing and half-doubted. The house had been built more than half, thinking that this was his lifelong career, not to mention that there was no master on Tao Zhuangtou, and Yinyue was still his good friend, so the matter of the house became his own decision, and no one asked him to stop building. He continued to build this house according to Xiao Wan'er's original drawings.
Soon, there was no money.
The problems encountered by Taozhuangtou are different from the Han family. The Han family only has land and the things produced are not easy to be transported out. The Xiao family's shops managed by Taozhuangtou have all the outputs, but the output is too complicated. The industries that Yu family bought for Xiao Wan'er were all suitable for fast in and out and making quick money. In the short term, he made money for Xiao Wan'er and cheated Xiao Wan'er of a whole book. But in fact, these investments must be very accurate, and the methods of making money cannot be copied in a second time. Moreover, he picked up what he had sold, and all the money could be recovered quickly. What he left behind were some that were not easy to recover. In fact, these industries were not bad, either iron smelting houses or wood mills. Many things were specialties in Bingzhou, but these things were not uncommon in the local area, and they needed to be transported out to make money.
However, ordinary small merchants are difficult to do with external fortunes. I said before on Tianlei Mountain that Jin land is a big business owner and a place for robbers around the surrounding areas. If small merchants do not have enough manpower to protect them, they will be sacrificed to others at any time like Chaotianjiao's husband. Therefore, the merchants either will be held together or invested under the big merchants. Taozhuangtou chose to invest under the protection of large merchants, because no matter how many small merchants gather together, they will have their own little thoughts. They usually say that they are very close to each other, and they are most afraid that they will fly to the big merchants at the critical moment and invest in large merchants. With other people's caravans, they will have safety and guarantees, but they will pay a little money. Most of the money they are transported out for sale are paid.
So later Tao Zhuangtou no longer likes to go out. Anyway, he had already set up a line with this big merchant, so he focused on doing OEM business for others. Taoranju produced good things, so what the big merchant wanted, so he ordered directly for the cost. Tao Zhuangtou made money, and he didn't have to run around. The income was stable, and he was very willing to do it. With his business and his life was stable, he invested all the money he earned in this house over the years. Therefore, Yinyue's concubine had to take the profit and loss in the capital to raise her children.
In the next few years, Taoranju was basically a processing factory on others. The so-called Tao family has actually become a small branch under the business empire. Therefore, Taoranju has been expanding production in various workshops over the years. When Taoran went outside, he also regarded him as a personal figure. But in fact, what he did was primary processing of products, and his production, sales and even product pricing had to obey others.
In theory, such a relationship is easy to be annexed, but Taoranju is not without a backer, Xiao Wan'er's reputation is still very famous, and the family is reasonable. His family is a century-old big businessman in Jin, with a very righteous family style. When Daqi attacked the old Wei Dynasty, the family helped to dispatch rice and grain, flatten prices, and crack down on hoarding, providing a lot of help. He got a job as an imperial merchant. When Emperor Qi Sheng Dynasty, several children became successful in studying and entered the dynasty, and developed into the largest family in Jin. Naturally, they would not do such a real estate as a decent business, and would not do it to the Tao family with a background in the capital, so Taoranju existed like a partner.
But...even so, the Tao family's industry is inseparable from other families. What Tao Zhuangtou and his confidants have to do every day, besides the reconciliation of other small industries, the most important task is to deal with this family and get more orders from his family. In the end, they still ask others to do business. So they come and go every day and invite banquets every day. Tao Zhuangtou and his confidants are very close to this family.
That person's surname is Su.
Wang Yi really doesn’t need to ask anything anymore. The surname “Su” is really rare, but she has seen it even if she is rare.
Princess Han’s surname is Su.
Princess of Chu, Lou, once said that the family of Su, was the family of the royal family of King Han's biological mother, Concubine Shu, and Princess of Jin You, said that King Jin had a word "Jin" and the business in Jin was booming, but the business in Jin was unable to be involved in the business and business in Jin was always controlled by the King of Han.
It is because King Han married a girl from the Su family, and the strong alliance was united, so naturally outsiders could not get involved.
Tao Zhuangtou sighed and said, "Ding Wu is really my confidant. His father is also an old member of the Xiao family. He is still kind to me. His parents were even killed by the treason army. I arranged other people in the Xiao family to a distance, but he was the only one who accepted him as his adopted son and brought him by his side. He treated him like a biological son. I knew he would never join the treason army, but..."
"But he is likely to join others, such as the Su family, such as the King of Han?" Wang Yizhen asked.
Tao Zhuangtou shook his head: "The situation in Taoranju is like this. It looks grand outside, with many workshops and workers, but in fact, they are all doing basic business. The workers earn money for craftsmanship, let alone pricing at will. Even if they want to sell more products, they have to ask the Raku family first. What's more, it's my fault. When I was a child, I accepted him as my adopted son. Others respectfully called me Master Tao, and he just thought he was the young master of the Tao family. This child really had some business minds and always advised me to separate the Xiao family's business and make it bigger and stronger. But I can't tell him about the old things about the Xiao family and his wife's life experience, so I have been suppressing him..."
"Where do you want people to go to a higher place? They have already found a new way out for themselves." Wang Yizhen said with a sneer.
