Facing the warm sun rising in the east, Chen Lie stood under the big locust tree, rubbing his stiff face while watching all the remaining possessions after he was wandering on the street.

All his belongings included a few old clothes, two beds of patched bedding, pots and pans, and a small amount of grain left, two cents of broken silver and three hundred cents of copper coins.

In addition, there is a little maid who is handsome and loyal to him.

Chen Lie looked at the pile of belongings and stood silently, silent for a long time.

No matter how you look like a fleeing famine.

Looking at the few wild dogs that suddenly appeared not far away, stretching their blood-red tongues, looking at him maliciously...

After Chen Lie, he shivered and comforted himself in his heart.

"It's okay."

Although the start was a bit miserable, it seemed that I could still struggle.

Carefully put away the wallet and Chen Lie thought in his mind, according to the price of this year and month, how much is this money equivalent to?

Two taels of broken silver plus three hundred coins, according to actual purchasing power, is approximately equivalent to five or six hundred yuan in later generations. This money is all his capital for turning the tables in this era.

Chen Lie pulled his fingers and calculated that he and Yun'er would have to pay at least ten copper coins for the day, and staying in a hotel would cost twenty cents a night...

With just such a little capital, you will definitely not be able to live in vain. You have to find a way to make some money as soon as possible, and then take Yun'er to find a place to settle down first.

Chen Lie looked up at the sky, and the weather would cool down at any time.

I can't stay under this big locust tree for a few days. The cold wave will come at any time this season. When the cold wave comes, if he can't take Yun'er to find a place to settle down.

I am afraid that I will die of cold and starvation, and will become a pile of dead bones on the mass grave.

But.

Chen Lie looked at his small body. Because of the excessively hollowed out of wine, he was so thin that he was not as weak as a few taels of meat. He really had no power to tie a chicken.

He has no life as a scholar, but he has the disease as a scholar.

So don’t think about the way to make money by being a coolie.

What about selling art?

Chen Lie touched his head again. It is estimated that his martial arts routines were purely laughable in front of the people of the world of this era.

It’s okay to fight black fist. Chen Lie once fought underground black fist at the most difficult time and maintained a brilliant record of winning all the time, but...

Then you have to take good care of your health.

So, Chen Lie felt that he could only think of a way to do some small business, but what business could he do with just such a little money?

Sitting under the big locust tree withered, his face turned into bitter gourd.

How easy is it to do business?

Not to mention lacking capital, even if he has sufficient capital, he can't do anything in any business. Don't worry about selling salt, soap, or opening a store.

Selling salt requires salt guidance, which is common sense.

Sell ​​soap, open a store...

Chen Lie shook his head and quickly dispelled this idea. Do you know how much it costs to buy a shop in this Ming Dynasty?

Every inch of land is worth every money!

Not to mention how much money is, under the feet of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, in this world of mixed fish and dragons, I still want to open a shop without any background, it is purely a white dream.

Do you know how many chambers of commerce are there in this capital, how many hills are there, and how many guilds are there in all walks of life?

He sighed quietly.

"This is the Ming Dynasty."

The Ming Dynasty was founded for two hundred years, and all walks of life and classes have long been solidified. The salt gang, horse gang, canal gang, and various guilds have dominated every industry.

In every industry, all forces are complicated, and behind them are big shots. It is difficult for an outsider to enter those circles.

If you really open a shop and do business in this capital city.

Chen Lie felt that it would definitely annoy those bosses from all walks of life, and they would probably not be able to find their graves even if they die.

"Be realistic."

Chen Lie touched the money bag in his hand, clenched the only little money, sat under the big locust tree, looked at his messy pots and pans, and began to think hard.

After a moment.

The sun is in the sky, and a warm sun shines on your body, causing the chill to fade away and also making the deep thoughts active.

At this moment, a thought emerged from my mind. Chen Lie planned to use this capital to take a try, do some small business first, and try the water of the Ming Dynasty capital.

Get up.

Chen Lie stretched, then smiled warmly at Yun'er: "Yun'er, go!"

Then he grabbed Yun'er's soft little hand.

Yun'er was grabbed by him, and her little body trembled, and she couldn't help but panic again: "Young Master, what are you doing?"

Chen Lie blinked at her and chuckled, "Follow me."

I won't sell you.

What are you afraid of!

"Young Master will take you to make money!"

Yun'er was stunned for a moment, broke free from Chen Lie's hand, and then bent down and silently packed the bedding on the ground, so soon after.

The two of them walked out of the alley with pots, pans, bedding and clothes on their backs.

After leaving the alley, Chen Lie first took Yun'er to a grocery store run by an old neighborhood. He picked and picked in the grocery store and spent 300 cents to buy a lot of groceries.

Most of these groceries are porcelain, all of which are shoddy and worthless gadgets, some cute big-headed dolls, and the cute Maitreya Buddha.

There are also some cats, dogs, and tigers.

Although these small porcelains are of poor quality, they are better because of their bright colors and exquisite shapes. They are very common decorations in the homes of people in this era.

After buying a bunch of miscellaneous items, Chen Lie then stored his luggage in the grocery store, and then took Yun'er, the master and servant each walked out of the grocery store with a big bag.

The two of them walked through a deep and quiet alley and set up a stall on a relatively flat ground at the entrance of the alley not far away.

Take possession of the stall.

Chen Lie looked at both sides and nodded with satisfaction. The location seemed to be pretty good. There was a small winery on the left and a teahouse on the right.

"That's it!"

Soon, Chen Lie asked Yun'er to look at the miscellaneous things and walked to a big willow tree. He broke down some willow branches and weaved them into circles.

It took half a day to weave it and it turned out to be a circle, and then the goods were placed at different positions according to their value.

Finally, Chen Lie and cautiously set up a piece of silver in the last row of the stall, and a low-cost stall was set up.

This business is called ferrule.

After setting up a stall, Chen Lie stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, he cleared his throat: "Cough."

He blinked at Yun'er, who was confused, and Chen Lie shouted at the top of his throat: "Look at it, take a look, don't miss it when you pass by!"

Is it a ferrule?

This is the most common small business in rural markets and night markets in the city. Although it doesn’t make much money, the risk of losing money is also small.

Chen Lie calculated carefully and spent a total of 300 cents to purchase goods for his first business in this era.

Plus the silver bean weighing one cent as the highest reward.

Chen Lie felt that the money was worth spending.

After tidying up his clothes, clearing his throat, Chen Lie began to shout loudly: "Look at it, take a look, don't miss it when you pass by."

So as Shen Lie shouted like a broken gong, Yun'er stared blankly, and she understood what Chen Lie was going to do.

The pair of elegant eyes lit up, as if Yun'er also felt that Chen Lie's idea was very novel and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Maybe...can it work?"

But after letting the shouts for a long time, his voice was loud. Passers-by just stopped to look at it, and then left in a hurry.

No one stopped to try it for a long time.
