Making money is not easy, this is what everyone thinks, even the guy who was born with a golden key in his mouth is no exception. When facing making money, you need to rack your brains and work hard. Don't look at those dignitaries who spend their days drinking and drinking.
They live a luxurious life, but who knows what kind of dedication and dedication they need behind the scenes. Of course, these words do not include those second-generation ancestors who can only open their mouths when they have no clothes to eat, and people who are as stupid as pigs.
Ding Yi is not just a man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. As a marquis, he must have the dignity and scenery of a marquis. Although his family has fertile land and shops, he also has hundreds of mouths to eat and hands to dress. These people need Ding Yi
With such a backer, they didn't care how Ding Yi got the money, they would just reach out and get it. Why did Ding Yi hate Su Ren so much? This started after Su Ren came to Chang'an. Originally, Ding Yi was a noble.
, as a privilege of a nobleman, he only needs to collect rent or buy shares in shops to live a good life. But Su Ren broke the environment in which he could survive. Su Ren brought new concepts, and the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce made shops separate from the powerful.
As a low-level aristocrat, Ding Yi cannot go and has no way to change the fact. Without the tribute from merchants, the meager income from the barren land is not enough to support the huge family and allow the Ding family to continue to live in the past.
Living a luxurious life, the house leaked and it rained all night. Later, I don’t know who gave the emperor an idea to transfer all the noble fiefdoms to the newly conquered lands. This meant that people like Ding Yi
Not only could Xungui not benefit from the land, but he also had to spend his own money to develop those places. This made it impossible for Ding Yi to maintain his life. So when Ding Yi raised his voice, so many people followed.
s reason.
With the advice of the Iron Operator, Ding Yi started working without stopping. After reaching a tacit understanding with several familiar nobles, he started his own plan under their guidance. The result of the massive influx of gold into the black market was the loss of copper coins.
The price has soared, but at this point, it is no longer possible to stop, so we can only bite the bullet and continue. More gold continues to pour into the black market, and copper coins have been speculated to the sky. Everyone is
Crazy, he will only buy things whose prices are rising, so the black market copper market has become a bottomless pit for attracting money.
Just like the black market, under the influence of gold, large quantities of goods were snapped up, and all were transactions of real gold and silver. Some dental shops even imitated the auctions held by Su Ren when he was in Shu County, selling goods one by one.
Put it out for everyone to bid, so the price becomes even more outrageous. In many cases, it is impossible to buy the goods you need if you don't pay double the usual price, not to mention that the current situation in Chang'an is that there is more gold and less goods.
The Iron Counter was checking the thick account book item by item in the room. These were the accounts of how he and Ding Yi exchanged gold for copper coins and purchased goods these days. The Iron Counter was very careful, for fear of making any mistakes or omissions.
Ah Xun sat behind Iron Counter and drank tea. One was busy calculating the accounts and the other waited quietly until Iron Counter closed the account book and let out a sigh of relief.
Ah Xun then said: "How is it?"
The iron fortune teller chuckled: "You don't know what I am capable of. When you go back, you can tell Mr. Hou that you can rest assured that not only will his money be less than a penny, but he will also get more money."
Ah Xun shook his head and said: "You promised the Marquis that you would make ten times the profit. I'm afraid you can't justify it."
The iron fortune teller also sat next to Ah Xun and poured himself a glass of water: "It'll be fine in a few days. Those fools don't understand the difference, but I know it. I just need to go to the bank to exchange the gold for copper coins, and then get the
When you go to the black market, you get 30% profit. I don’t know why those people just come to the black market to exchange, why don’t they go to the bank to have a look?"
"What do you know! Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. This is a taboo among our Tiangang and Disha!" A Xun's face darkened.
The iron fortune teller quickly apologized: "I know, I know! One more thing, the goods in Chang'an can still last for more than ten days. You can tell Mr. Hou to put all the goods in Luoyang first, and wait until the operation here is almost complete.
Send a little more until all the gold from those people is squeezed out, then enter Chang'an immediately to have a miraculous effect."
Ah Xun said: "You don't need to worry about this. Who is the Marquis? How can you not see clearly with this little knowledge? Do your own thing well. I will come here every day these days and report any situation immediately."
The Iron Operator nodded, frowned and said, "I did find a problem in the past few days. There is a company doing the same business as us, called Shengyuanji. Do you want to send someone to check it out?"
"I can deal with this, but don't show off your flaws!" Ah Xun stood up: "The Marquis said that those people are finished, so they must be eaten dry and silenced, and then thrown into the stinking ditch of history.
.”
The iron operator smiled very obscenely, but he was in a very good mood.
After three or five days of hard work, I watched the thrilling scenes every day. No matter how powerful Ding Yi was, he still couldn't withstand it. Every day after he returned, he would ask the butler's accountant to calculate his assets. When he heard this number day by day,
When the situation became bigger and bigger, and when it became so big that he didn't even believe it, he finally realized that something was wrong. However, it was too late to say anything at this time. All his money, not only his body, but his life were all tied up in that building outside the city.
In the warehouse, Ding Yi sent his most trusted people to guard the place and try to prevent any accidents. Even so, Ding Yi still had insomnia and was haggard. When Luan Da, Li Shizong, and Zhao Zhou saw each other again
Ding Yi didn't look so frightened when he saw her.
"Dinghou, what are you..." Zhao Zhou quickly helped Ding Yi sit down.
Ding Yi waved her hand: "I've been really tired these past few days. I have to keep an eye on the market during the day, and I have to read the account books at night. I have to socialize and it's tiring, hey!"
Zhao Zhou poured a glass of water for Ding Yi: "I heard that Ding Hou was so domineering that he killed everyone. It seems that he must have made a lot of money these days?"
Ding Yi waved her hand and said with a smile: "A little success, a little success! By the way, Li Hou, is there any movement from Your Majesty's side?"
Li Shizong shook his head: "Your Majesty did not react at all, but the lack of reaction made people more worried. It stands to reason that such a big thing happened in Chang'an, and His Majesty could not be so calm. Even if Sang Hongyang was not summoned, Sang Hongyang should be summoned.
Su Ren, the new chief minister, should go to the palace and ask questions, but His Majesty doesn't seem to have noticed what happened in Chang'an."
"I heard that the Prime Minister's Office has returned the power of equalization to Sinong Temple? Your Majesty is also planning to return Taicang and even the power of the capital to Sinong Temple?" Ding Yi is not confused at all. He still knows the changes in the court.
Some.
Zhao Zhou smiled and said: "I know this. I was present when the Prime Minister and His Majesty talked. It was precisely because the prices in Chang'an were rising that Gongsun Hong handed over the power of equalization on the grounds that he was not good at businessmanship. This is why
I really can’t handle it.”
"What about Taicang and Dunei? Weren't these all controlled by the inner court in the past?"
Li Shizong sighed: "Su Ren wrote a letter stating the responsibilities of Sinong Temple and bluntly saying that His Majesty has exceeded his authority. You also know that Your Majesty and Su Ren were friends when they were young. Since Su Ren is appointed as the Great Sinong Temple, you have to give him some face."
, then the power of Taicang and the capital was transferred out, but Jitian is still under the control of the inner court, but I don’t think it can be retained for long."
"So, Su Ren has already taken control of Sinong Temple?" Ding Yi was a little worried.
Li Shizong shook his head: "That's not the case. After all, Su Ren has only been in office for less than a month. The government affairs of Sinong Temple are complicated, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sort them out in a while."
"That's good! That's good!" Ding Yi let out a long breath. Seeing that Luan Da had not spoken for so long, he asked, "Why is General Luan so quiet today?"
Luan Da's eyes were a little distracted and he sighed: "Your Majesty asked me to calculate the weather for the year ahead today."
"Isn't this easy for General Luan?" Several people were a little puzzled by Luan Da's words.
Luan Da smiled bitterly: "It's not that simple. Your Majesty asked me to be precise to a certain date."
"ah!"
Zhao Zhou quickly asked: "Have you said it yet?"
Luan Dabai glanced at Zhao Zhou: "Can I not say it?"
Ding Yi frowned: "Are the other immortal leaders..."
Luan Da nodded: "Although it was not done in public, as far as I know, His Majesty has done the same thing to several people."
Ding Yi sat down on the chair, looking up to the sky and sighing. Li Shizong smiled bitterly, but Zhao Zhou disagreed: "Just say it, we all know General Luan's ability. Calculating the weather is not difficult, so what if he is wrong?
?Based on His Majesty’s kindness to General Luan, nothing like this will happen!”
Before going home, Ding Yi made a special detour outside the city and went to the warehouse to have a look. Ding Yi was very determined this time. He did not listen to the iron fortune teller, but bought all the gold he got.
It seems to Ding Yi that as long as he has these goods, although the profit will be a little lower, he will feel at ease. Even if there are some recurrences, he will not panic. The worst he can do is lose a little money.
The old housekeeper who guards the warehouse is a son of the Ding family. He and Ding Yi grew up together. Apart from their identities, they have a very good relationship in private. At Ding Yi's instruction, the old housekeeper opened the door of the warehouse.
He personally carried a lantern and followed Ding Yi into the warehouse. The warehouse was very large. It was the place where the merchant association was rented. The things inside were also very messy. There were jade from the Western Regions, grain from Lingnan, and furs from beyond the Great Wall. It could be said that they were all
Being able to sell things at a good price and being durable in storage is what Ding Yi values the most.
"Master Marquis, it's getting cold, you'd better go back! I'll be watching over here, there won't be any problems." The old housekeeper was very concerned about Ding Yi's health.
Ding Yi shook her head: "New Year's Eve will be here in a few days. I hope things will get better after this New Year."
