Xie Xun left Nuanyang and five thousand cavalry behind. Nuanyang and Zhang Da were accompanied by five thousand cavalry, so Feng Yu was safe. After Xie Xun left, Feng Yu began to reorganize the Su family trading house in Jinzhou.
The Su family's business in Jinzhou includes rice, spices, tea, silk, jewelry, etc., with rice and tea as the core. Silk and jewelry are very popular in Jinzhou. They are not popular in the twelve weeks after leaving Jinzhou. The twelve states pay more attention to
Food, clothing, silk and jewelry are non-necessities for women, and business is not as good as daily necessities such as rice, tea, etc.
The two most profitable industries are salt and ironware. These are two major industries with relatively strict government control. Private transactions require licenses. The salt production (licenses) of the twelve states are in the hands of the four major clans in Jinzhou, and they
Control. The ironware sales license belongs to the Xie family of Zhenbeihou, and it is now in Fengyu's hands. The Su family accounts for half of the iron mines in Xizhou, and it is through the hands of Zhenbeihou that they control the ironware, because it is the main weapon and armor of Ningzhou cavalry.
The raw materials have been under the control of the imperial court for decades.
The salt industry is also a hugely profitable industry. There is no salt industry in the Su family's business territory. The salt merchants in Jiangnan are as rich as the country and have great power. As far as she knows, they are direct descendants of Marshal Fang.
Feng Yu is not interested in the salt introduction of the Twelve Prefectures for the time being. The clan has cooperated with Xue Yuzhizhou for many years. If they take away their salt introduction, it will cause huge trouble.
There is endless money to be made, so there is no need to compete with others for food.
If you want to revitalize the trade of the twelve states, you must first make sure that the people of the twelve states have enough food. Business convergence and prosperity are based on having enough food and drink.
Only when you have enough food and drink can you care about whether you are well-dressed, whether you can drink wine today, and whether you can buy jewelry tomorrow, and all walks of life can be promoted.
The biggest problem of the Su family business in Jinzhou is that there is no one to control it all year round. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The shopkeepers cover the sky with one hand, covering up each other and lining their own pockets. Feng Yu spent three days just checking the accounts.
Shopkeepers Su and Li were basically here, and Feng Yu invited six accountants to check the accounts in front of them.
Sixteen shopkeepers came from twelve states. In the hot summer, they were sitting in the study and calculating accounts with the accountant. Outside the courtyard, Nuanyang and Zhang Da were practicing with their cavalry, with swords and swords flashing and murderous intent rising to the sky. I don't know whether it was the stuffy heat or fear in the study.
The shopkeepers were sweating profusely.
The third girl smiled kindly and softly, "I have just taken over the Twelve States Trading Company, and I have to clarify the accounts. You are all old people from the Su Family Trading Company, and you have worked hard and made great achievements. I will rely on all the shopkeepers in the future."
Everyone felt that the three girls looked at the spring breeze and drizzle, but it was the pressure of the strong wind and rain. It looked like the cavalry was training outside the courtyard, but in fact the knife edge could be swung at them at any time.
Feng Yu doesn't intend to cut it all. It is natural for people to be greedy. Her grandfather is old and her sister is too busy with the cavalry and baggage. She is also weak and sick. Without an owner in the twelve states, greed will arise. If she is the shopkeeper of the Su family business
, can you guarantee that you will remain loyal even if no one controls you for many years?
If she can't do it, she won't ask others.
Before checking the accounts, she spent a day with shopkeeper Wang and his brother to inspect all the shops in Jinzhou, focusing on the shopkeepers' abilities and conduct. She also sent Chunlu to pass on the message that as long as the shopkeepers settled their accounts within five years, she would let bygones be bygones.
, it will still be reused in the future.
Although she was greedy, Feng Yu still wanted to give everyone a chance to at least ensure that the Su family business ran smoothly and did not suffer huge losses.
"Girl will be stationed in the Twelve Prefectures in the future, won't she know about Kyoto?" a shopkeeper asked tentatively.
"Yes!" Feng Yu drank the warm milk tea, her eyebrows slightly lowered, "The day I return to Kyoto should be when the Ningzhou cavalry breaks through the gates of Kyoto."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat!
In the study room, there were all the shopkeepers of the Su family business. Feng Yu did not take in his words. Xie Xun had established himself as king and would unify Yanyang sooner or later. The shopkeepers also considered Feng Yu's future.
"All the shopkeepers are old people from the Su Family Trading Company. Shopkeeper Chen has been working in the Su Family Trading Company for three generations. I am grateful to all the shopkeepers for their contribution to the firm." Feng Yu smiled slightly, "Gong is merit, fault is fault. If you all
The shopkeeper wanted to deceive me because I was young, so he deceived me. He must have miscalculated. Take tea from the Twelve Prefectures as an example. The annual output and origin are recorded. How much is dumped locally and how much is transported to Jiangnan. Then the loss is calculated and determined.
It is not difficult to calculate the profit at that time, the inventory in the warehouse. It is not difficult to calculate the profit, but it is time-consuming. The same is true for tea, and the same is true for rice and grain. When it comes to false accounting, you are not as good as shopkeeper Wang and brother. I have not asked them to review it, so I have left you some room.
"
Feng Yu looked at the various expressions on the shopkeepers' faces, took a sip of tea, and continued, "I don't want to worry too much about trivial details or small money matters. As long as you have embezzled as much money as you have in the past five years, you will make up for the holes.
I will let go of what happened five years ago, and you will still be the shopkeepers of major commercial firms in the future. If you are stubborn, then I have to ask you to find another job. I will not raise rats in my rice vat."
"Girl, are you going to drive us away?" an old shopkeeper asked tremblingly, "Without this group of shopkeepers, the Twelve States Trading Company would not be the size it is today. It was we who allowed the Su Family Trading Company to take root in the Twelve States. If you
If you want to expel us, we have to ask Mr. Su if he agrees."
"I have never denied your merits. You have indeed worked hard and achieved great results. I am not a person who kills donkeys to relieve the grinding mill. You have been entrenched in Jinzhou for so many years. I only need you to make up for the shortfall of five years. Isn't it too much?" Feng Yu's tone was still the same.
Gentle, but everyone can see that this girl does not accept threats and has a very tough attitude, "You have been greedy for so many years and you have earned enough money to support your retirement. I will evict you without reporting you to the official position. I think I have done my best.
Shopkeeper Zhou."
Her toughness is the confidence given by the Su family. Her blade is held in the iron rider, and it can be moved forward or retracted in a single thought.
Shopkeeper Zhou didn't expect Feng Yu to call out his name. Among the shopkeepers in the Twelve States, he was the senior one, and he was not in charge of the most profitable shop, so he was inconspicuous.
All the shopkeepers looked at each other in confusion, but Feng Yu was not in a hurry and said slowly, "I'm going to say something ugly ahead of time. The Ningzhou cavalry has been cut off from Yanyang, and there will be war one day. I am Xie Xun's unmarried wife, so I am with him.
Advancing and retreating together, becoming a king and defeating a bandit, no one knows what the situation will be like in a few years. If you want to leave, I will not force you to stay. If you want to stay, the entire Twelve Prefecture Trading Firms will obey my orders and work together with the Ningzhou cavalry.
If you have two minds, it would be best for you and me if you leave as soon as possible. If you stay and do things that harm your business, I will never tolerate it."
Everyone could also hear Feng Yu's unfinished words. If one day Xie Xun conquers the world, the Su family business will have the merit of following the dragon. One person will ascend to heaven, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
Although the Yuwen royal family is orthodox, and the Jiangnan garrison and Zhongzhou watch each other and can fight against the cavalry, the impression of Ningzhou cavalry being brave and good at fighting has been deeply rooted for many years. Many people from Ningzhou to Twelve Prefectures feel that Xie Xun has the upper hand. He is now short of money.
, major commercial banks had no choice but to solve his urgent needs.
"I will leave for Xizhou in three days. Before sunset tomorrow, you all have to make a decision."
The residence of the magistrate of Jinzhou.
Two staff members, Xue Yu and Master Qian Gu, were talking about Feng Yu's meeting with the shopkeepers of the trading company. Xue Yu had been in Jinzhou for many years and was well-informed, so Feng Yu's words naturally reached his ears.
"Although this Miss Feng San is young, her skills are very powerful!" Xue Yu said with emotion, "At such a young age, she shows kindness and power at the same time, keeps a tightrope in her work, and makes a big deal for the shopkeepers, which is unexpected!"
Master Qian Gu said, "Yes, seeing the three girls' fierce tempers at the banquet, I thought she would not tolerate sand in her eyes, and would banish all the shopkeepers of the Su family business in anger, causing public outrage. Unexpectedly, Si Liang
Pulling out a thousand pounds, showing kindness and power at the same time, the shopkeepers originally wanted to work together to evade her, but now they are afraid that people are distracted and everyone has their own agenda."
Xue Yu secretly thought, "No wonder the second young master sent her to the Twelve Prefectures to take charge of the overall situation. She has really good vision. We are looking down on other girls."
"After all, there are five thousand cavalry behind the third girl. This is the confidence for her to be calm and calm." The staff said, "The pattern of Jinzhou Commercial Bank should also change. If she brings the general manager of Baofeng Bank with her, if
When she went to Xizhou, Jinzhou Trading Company should be run by Shopkeeper Wang. This Shopkeeper Wang was trained by Mr. Su since he was a child. Apart from Mr. Su and his daughter and the Feng family sisters, he was the fifth member of the Su family trading company. He was loyal and could not be won over if he wanted to.
not easy."
"There is no need to rush to win over him, and I don't want to offend the third girl." Xue Yu said lightly, "The King of Qin wants to compete in the world, and the twelve states are must-win areas. The Yuwen royal family will not let him easily seize the twelve states. We will follow the trend.
Just do it. The fate of a state and a government is too small in the raging smoke. What our state government can do is protect the people in the city."
"But there is a holy order in the capital, asking us to kill the three girls in Jinzhou." The staff hesitated, "Do you want to disobey the holy order?"
"If tens of thousands of Jin Yiwei and the Forbidden Army cannot trap 5,000 cavalry, why should we ask 20,000 garrison troops to die?"
We are trapped in poverty and war, which has been difficult to calm down for several years. If the three girls died in Jinzhou, Xie Xun would send troops to flatten Jinzhou and innocent people would suffer. I don’t want to be a sinner."
"But if you don't obey the imperial order and an imperial edict comes down, the emperor will wipe your hat off, and it will be too late to do anything you want to do." The staff sighed. For Xue Yu, this was also a dilemma.
