The classes below the ministers and officials of various countries are all short of money. Even if you are a scholar, you are still short of money. You may not have to worry about food and clothing, but if you want to further enrich yourself, you need money, and it is a stable long-term income.
No matter what the form of payment is, anything that can be recognized by "savages" from all over the world can be regarded as money.
Therefore, those who dare to say "I am not interested in money" these days must be big nobles. In a small and weak country, maybe only the monarch dares to say such a thing.
If a person in the opposition says this, it must be "untruthful".
However, there is a difference between "savages". A famous "savage" is not just a "savage", but a sage in the wilderness.
Township Chief Li doesn't know whether he is a wise man or not, but he is an idler these days, so that must be no problem.
Because his wife asked him to fall in love with his concubine, a Yue girl, to deepen their relationship and communicate about the compatibility between spirit and body.
"Fu Rong also knows what my dear man did the day before yesterday."
The beauty "Qiang" who originally worked in Furong was unwilling to come to "Shaye" to be a concubine. How embarrassing. Originally, when she was in Yue Kingdom, her family was counting on sending her to the palace.
As a result, by some strange combination of circumstances, he ended up all the way to Wu State, unable to even enter Suzhou, and ended up living in towns and cities, having to work as a Weaver Girl in order to make ends meet.
Even at this time, the idea of a beautiful "Qiang" is the worst thing to do is to be a concubine for a "country elder" and "Wu Geng". The life will definitely be comfortable, and maybe it can be of great help to the family.
.
But I never expected that I would be reduced to being a concubine for a "Shaye" leader, and the introducer was the "Shaye" leader's housewife, who was once her coworker, a Huan from "Shaye"
Yarn girl.
If it weren't for the generous recruitment gift, she would have sternly refused.
Looking back now, Qiang feels a little lucky. Both Furong's "hometown elder" and Yunting's "Wugeng" are both old men in their fifties. If she were a concubine for them, she would only be able to live a good life for two years.
.
Two years later, the old man's sons will definitely drive her away, and may even sell her to a passing businessman.
It's not like now, where the wife doesn't exclude her and her husband doesn't dislike her. As long as she tidies up beautifully, she can live a good life.
In the past, even if she didn't work as a weaver, she still had to weave yarn or pick mulberries. A pair of girl's hands would become extremely rough after long-term labor. But now, after only ten days and a half, a pair of beautiful hands have begun to recover.
come over.
Qiang feels that life is so wonderful now and she is really satisfied.
"What did I do the day before yesterday? Did I do anything the day before yesterday?"
Li Jie did not understand Yayan, nor could he speak the Yue dialect. He was only familiar with the Wu language, and then adjusted it according to the changes in the Wu dialect.
Some vocabulary words were completely absent in the Wu dialect at this time.
Even if you want to fall in love, you must first master a "foreign language". Not only must you master the "foreign language", but you must also understand the vocabulary re-created in this "foreign language".
So, Qiang thinks everything is fine, but falling in love is a bit tiring.
But fortunately, she is extremely smart and can communicate with her husband to some extent even by guessing and using body movements.
"The day before yesterday, my beloved man once said to his beloved wife under the eaves: Although a thousand gold coins are huge, they are not as valuable as Liu Yinuo."
"Oh... you are talking about this. What's wrong?"
Li Jie thought to himself, I'm just pretending to be cool, I look very bright and tall in front of my wife, it's not a big deal, it's normal.
"Now that hibiscus has spread all over the country, everyone in Yin Township is a handsome man. He is a person who values trust over wealth."
"Hey……"
As soon as he heard this, Mayor Li became energetic at that time, thinking that he was just pretending to be cool, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect? This sounds very refreshing.
"Dad held a sword for the 'hometown elder' in Seremban, and there were many merchants coming and going. The trust of a good man has spread throughout Seremban."
At this time, in addition to the aristocrats of the Wu Kingdom, even "city dwellers" often called their fathers "Dad". The nostalgia of Wu and Yue was similar, and the middle and lower classes naturally also called them "Dad".
"oh?"
Li Jie suddenly remembered that no wonder there had been a lot of merchants coming from Furong recently, and these merchants actually dared to give money first and then get the goods. Some of them even took the goods after a few days, without even needing vouchers.
Now it seems that it is not that these merchants are too stupid, but that they think that Mayor Li will not ruin his own brand.
Then Mayor Li put himself in his shoes and thought about it. As a foreman, if he were a self-made boss, he would casually throw hundreds of thousands to the new personnel manager and let him recruit a group of people who are not familiar with the world.
College graduates come here to work as coolies...
He will also feel that this local boss is very powerful and awesome!
Because this shows a lot of problems. First of all, this local boss is not short of money. He will throw away hundreds of thousands at any time. Obviously, hundreds of thousands are not taken seriously. It is just a drop in the bucket. What is the status of a powerful local boss?
?That’s dad!
Secondly, this local boss works in an open and open manner, and he doesn’t doubt anyone he employs. Even if there is any misunderstanding in the cooperation between the two parties, isn’t it just a matter of a glass of wine? You can talk about it at any time. And if you are a petty person, you will obviously let it out.
Finally, the local boss asked people to take a large sum of money, not to go out for whoring and gambling, but to recruit talents. It can be seen that he has a long-term vision and a scientific outlook on development. He wants to make it bigger, stronger and longer-term, and it is worthy of deep friendship.
After figuring out the joints, Village Chief Li realized: "Emotions...have I become a rich man that everyone loves?"
However, being a rich man who is loved by everyone is not that easy. Most of the merchants who come from Furong just drop in to do business.
It was only after arriving in Yinxiang that I discovered that the bamboo, wood, hemp, leather and other products in Yinxiang are quite developed, especially bamboo products, which are widely classified. Just bamboo hats, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo stools, and bamboo mats.
For a few things, merchants across the Yangtze River expect to earn five times the profit.
As for the local merchants in Furong, they plan to visit the counties and cities in Wu State. After all, things like bamboo stools are currently only produced in Yinxiang and are considered the only business.
Although these things are easy to copy, it is still no problem to make a small profit in the early stage.
“Don’t your beloved know?”
"I don't know."
Li Jie shook his head. He has been idle recently, but he is not idle. Yinxiang has opened a handicraft industry area, and the workshop for polishing stone tools has to go over from time to time for guidance and re-planning. In addition, in view of the increasing amount of ramie,
He was thinking about how to modify the textile machinery. In the short term, just spinning and merging the threads well would be enough to make a long-term business.
Due to limited production efficiency, even if it is just a rope, the price is not cheap in this era.
It looks inconspicuous, but because of its huge usage, major countries purchase it all year round, and the supply exceeds demand for a long time.
Therefore, improving the utilization rate of linen materials is also what graduates of the Textile College should do.
How is it possible to understand the outside world's evaluation of him when he is thinking blindly like this?
"That Furong merchant wants to persuade his good people to open a market, but he doesn't know that?"
Qiang smiled slyly and stared at the surprised Li Jie with a pair of big blinking eyes. Obviously, this was a small surprise and she was asking for credit from Li Jie.
But there is no doubt that she succeeded.
Holding the wall's face and kissing her hard, Mayor Li laughed loudly: "What good news! I'm going to send it out!"
