Losers have no rights. This is a given for the royal family. This is not the case for the Yun family. Yun Huan ambitiously wanted to extend his family's tentacles to Liaodong. As a result, the caravan sent out was very ill-fated.
As an old expert who had been doing business in Liaodong for many years, Lao Cui supported his master Yun Huan in Yuezhou to enter Liaodong again. After Li Er conquered Goryeo, the Yun family withdrew all its power from Liaodong in order to avoid suspicion. The withdrawal was very slow.
It was clean and no caravans were sent there since.
Now that the war has subsided, people's livelihood in Liaodong has begun to slowly recover after years of recuperation. After all, what the empire needs is a productive land, not an uninhabited land.
These three treasures, ginseng, mink fur, and cattail grass, are very important to the Yun family. Many shops in Yuezhou need to use them, especially cattail grass, which is the best filling material. The Yun family’s furniture store
The demand for this thing is very high every year.
Lao Cui understands that it must be very difficult to enter Liaodong now, so he has no intention of getting involved in the extremely profitable ginseng and mink skins. He just wants to open a shop to buy ginseng grass, process the ginseng grass locally and then transport it back.
Chang'an or Yuezhou performs a second processing to allow the cheap jade grass to play its original role.
As soon as the store opened, it was squeezed out by everyone. No matter how Lao Cui used merchants' tactics to lower his profile and integrate into the local business system, in the end, it had no effect at all.
The shop didn't harvest any tangerine grass in the autumn, and even the clerk in the shop couldn't get it together. Lao Cui was not in a hurry, thinking that this was someone squeezing him out, giving him a little prestige, and he would be fine after the New Year.
.
After the New Year, the situation has indeed changed. All the people who should be recruited have been recruited. Agreements have been made with many rural farmers to purchase jade grass in the autumn. As long as we wait until the autumn, everything will fall into place. The Yun family's first business in Liaodong will be completed.
One store has just established its foothold, and business is slowly building up. Entering Liaodong on a large scale will frighten the local merchants.
Just when Lao Cui received the first batch of goods and went into production, the wind direction changed again. A fire in the evening burned not a single ounce of the hundreds of thousands of hay that the Yun family had stored in the pasture.
This was a man-made disaster. Lao Cui, who had been doing business smoothly for many years, could no longer restrain his anger and went to the Gobu Prefecture Governor's House to question, demanding that the murderer be arrested and the Yun family be compensated for their losses.
The Governor's Office of Gobe Prefecture was indeed vigorous and resolute, and within ten days they caught the murderers - three Mohe people. After the Mohe people admitted their crimes in front of Lao Cui, they were beheaded on the spot by the Governor's Office of Gobe Prefecture.
I have avenged the Yun family, but as compensation, if the Yun family is willing, they can take over all the properties of these three Mohe people, including their wives and children.
Lao Cui was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he couldn't tell that the government was not here. The government caught the murderer he wanted and gave him the compensation he wanted. As for Lao Cui's disdain for those dark savages, that was also Lao Cui.
The matter has nothing to do with the government.
Old Cui, who was used to seeing big storms, knew what was going on, so he simply broke his face and warned all the merchants and those overt and covert forces. This time, it will not be the same next time. If there is a next time, there will be no chance of three or five savages coming out.
Taking the blame can eliminate the anger of the Yun family. Even if they want to reconcile, they will not have such a chance.
Soon, the Yun family's haystacks gathered together again, and the entire workshop for pounding the hay was already working in an orderly manner. The first batch of pounded hay had been packed into hard packages and put on the edge of the ship.
After flowing down the Liao River and entering the sea, it was finally disembarked from Dengzhou, transported to Zhuozhou, and finally arrived in Chang'an, where it was processed for the second time and finally sent to Yuezhou.
When Yun Ye learned that the Yun family was going to transport grass from Liaodong to Yuezhou, he was shocked. However, after repeatedly measuring his son's IQ, he thought that he would not give birth to a fool, so he didn't bother him and just continued.
Yun Huan went to do the trouble, he just wanted to see what his son was going to do.
An even more surprising thing happened later. The Yun family's fleet was robbed on the Liao River. This time, not only the robbers but also the ships were burned by the robbers.
The only good thing is that nothing happened to the waiter on the ship. After being searched and found clean, he was driven to the shore. After going through a lot of hardships, he returned to the Liaodong head office and reported the entire incident to Lao Cui.
After Lao Cui was furious, he returned to the back hall and wrote a letter to his master Yun Huan with a smile on his face, reporting everything that happened here. Originally, Lao Cui planned to set a fire to burn his own fodder and boat.
Now that an outsider has taken action, this situation is really wonderful.
So the second young master of the Yun family planned to go to Liaodong in person with the Wrath of Thunder, and personally ask the local officials why Liaodong was governed by thieves everywhere, leaving law-abiding businessmen without a way to survive.
When passing by Chang'an, she came specifically to say hello to her ancestors and parents. Huahua also came back, but the child was now very clumsy with a big belly. Xin Yue, who was originally smiling, saw this look and did not wait for Yun Huan to give her a greeting.
After kowtowing to himself, he scolded Yun Huan severely. How dare you lead a six-month-old person on the Taurus Path?
Yun Ye drank tea, looked at his son, sighed and said, "You still don't do things grandly enough. You should burn down the main store. Although the Yun family doesn't like to attack their own family, it is still feasible to lose some property."
Yun Huan squeezed his father's shoulders a little embarrassed and said: "Liaodong is just a starting point. Now I want to extend our tentacles to western Liaoning. Although it is a wasteland, the leather goods and ginseng there are the best. This
The profits from these two goods are huge, and I am a little reluctant to give them up."
While enjoying his son's attentiveness, Yun Ye pointed to the map of Liaodong and said to him: "This is why you are not generous enough. Our family does not operate a pharmacy or leather goods. The reason why these two things are valuable is
It’s because they are rare! Rare things cannot create a big scene. They can make a little money at most, but they cannot reach a certain scale. If they do not reach a certain scale, their local influence will be insufficient. What smart businessmen now pursue is the right to speak, that is,
It is said that they are pursuing their right to speak in a certain place and a certain industry, and working hard to make themselves the makers of rules. Only by becoming such a businessman can you become a powerful businessman. Otherwise, you can just make some money.
It's just money.
As a father, I have always been curious. What is the reason why the iron ore mines in Liaodong have not developed in all these years? Huan'er, while you are going to Liaodong this time to show off your power, go and actually investigate what caused the decline of the iron ore mines in these years.
, the thick smoke from steel-making in Chang'an's iron plant has never been extinguished. Steel is still in short supply and prices remain high. However, Liaodong is guarding such a huge iron mine but doing nothing. The most remarkable thing there is that there are still coal mines. As long as there is iron,
If there is coal, building a huge iron factory there is not a problem. As long as you have the ability to build an iron factory there, you can live a decent life without relying on your father's authority. The face you have earned belongs to you.
, you are just a playboy now."
Yun Huan stopped massaging his father's shoulders and said: "The Changsun family was the one who ran the iron factory back then. Their family is ruined, how can others still run it? That thing is not profitable."
Yun Ye looked up to the sky and laughed. He laughed for a long time before he stopped. This caused Xin Yue and Hua Hua to poke their heads out of the back hall and take a peek. When they saw that the father and son were talking happily, they pulled their heads back.
"What kind of business does Changsun Wuji do? He opened an iron factory and only used steel to make weapons. As long as the army can't use those weapons, the remaining weapons manufacturing will be taken care of by the Wuhan Research Institute. His iron factory
They can only make farm tools, kitchen knives, and iron pots, and hope that these blacksmith shops can make money, and their heads will be kicked by donkeys. It is inevitable that the iron factory will close.
Doing business requires a strong ability to innovate. Being conservative is waiting for death. If you don't find a way out for your own steel, you deserve to close down. Son, remember, steel is a good thing at any time. Slowly you will
You will find that, like food and salt, it is an indispensable necessity. Especially now in Datang, the demand for steel cannot be met by the few iron factories in Chang'an.
It is said that Shili Iron Works has produced enough steel for the whole world, but that is not the case, son, when all cars and ships are made of steel in the future, do you think they can still supply it?"
Yun Ye had mentioned some of his ideas to his son before, and they also learned about Zhouchuan's prospects from Li Tai. Now that Yun Huan heard his father's old words mentioned again, he thought about it with half-squinted eyes and said: "Dad, you
Do you think Steel Yitu is really making a lot of money? What if you lose money?"
Yun Ye laughed again, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "If you plan to do it, go do it. What the Yun family is worried about now is too much money, not too little. There are a lot of silver coins in your mother's treasure house again.
It has become dark. If the Yun family does not produce a prodigal son, but only elites appear, the emperor will not be worried. So, son, you can go to prodigal families with confidence and boldness. Your father and I are a famous prodigal son in Chang'an City. Our ancestors used to
I have always been worried about my father’s prodigal behavior, but now who dares to say that your father is a prodigal?”
"The child feels that daddy is a big loser now..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The conversation between father and son was heartwarming. Xinyue and Huahua tilted their heads to listen to the conversation. When they heard that their father-in-law wanted their husband to become a prodigal son, they couldn't help but become anxious. They stood up and wanted to argue with their father-in-law. Others were afraid that
My father-in-law, Huahua is not afraid. If he makes a mistake, he will at most be scolded. Looking down at his tall belly, he feels even more confident.
Xin Yue lovingly slapped Hua Hua on the back of the head and said, "Silly boy, when did your father-in-law do anything wrong?" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
