I’m The King Chapter 215: : When I think about money, I feel flustered
Liao Liao A few stars hang in the sky, emitting a faint light. These few days are rare good weather since the beginning of winter. The dead wind lamp was also plunged into darkness, and the entire camp was silent, which made the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers very clear.
The honored guests invited by Gao Yuan had already fallen into a deep sleep at this moment. During the feast at night, these people were toasted by Sun Xiao and his group of soldiers in turn. Zheng Jun was no exception, at this time he was placed in a guest room specially prepared for these people and fell asleep soundly.
But in Gaoyuan's residence, the lights are still on. Inside the room, the white charcoal fire is burning vigorously. There is a low table beside the fire, and there are several plates of fried wild vegetables on the table. The aroma of good wine at medium temperature is overflowing, Gao Yuan and Wu Kai are sitting cross-legged on two felt blankets, having a drink.
The two of them drank a lot of wine in the evening, but the soldiers did not have the guts to pour them down. At this time, although the faces of the two were flushed and they were already drunk, their eyes were still extremely bright.
Knocking the chopsticks lightly on the porcelain plate, Wu Kai said with a smile; "These things are still easy to eat. Those big fish and meat in the daytime, you will get tired of them at first glance, and you can't eat them anyway. I didn't expect you to hide them." This is private goods."
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Old Wu, everyone has their own opinions. For example, if you give this to the thousands of soldiers outside, it's no wonder you don't scold your ancestors for eighteen generations behind your back. On weekdays, you have simple tea and light food, but today is the Chinese New Year, so you will naturally have a lot of fish and meat. I have heard a saying, but this scene reflects your mood at this time!"
"What are you talking about?" Wu Kai asked.
"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road." Gao Yuan put down his chopsticks, reached out to lift the jug, and served it to Wu Kaiman.
"How can it be so serious?" Wu Kai smiled and said, "I, Fufeng, are not as miserable as you said."
"What I'm talking about is just a phenomenon, like your old Wu. When you get tired of eating big fish and big meat, you can only eat with clear vegetables and small stir-fries. Let alone this world. In my big camp alone, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it. Eat big fish and meat every day!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Wu Kai laughed out loud. "I'm afraid your army is the best-paid army in the world, right? When did they lose their meat?"
"It's still barely sustainable. But after a long time, it will be a bit bad!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "The military expenditure of these thousands of people is a huge sum. It costs a lot to raise such an army. It’s really scary, I only understand now. The majestic Liaoxi County prefect Mr. Zhang has only a few thousand standing troops under his command. Our country is as big as Dayan, and the standing army is less than 100,000. It is really unaffordable. I thought too much before. Simpler."
"So you took the gentry from the two counties to do business together and make money?" Wu Kai said.
"Increasing income and reducing expenditure, the most important thing is to increase income. We have to find a way to make money! In the army, some money cannot be saved. Although Fuhai Trading has been established, in a short period of time, I am afraid that there will only be investment and no income. Money." Gao Yuan sighed, "As soon as I open my eyes, I think about how much money I will spend today. How much money I made today, no matter how I calculate it, I can't make ends meet!"
Wu Kairu picked up a chopstick of wild vegetables and put them in his mouth, chewing carefully, looking at Gao Yuan while chewing, "Why did I suddenly realize that these dishes of wild vegetables don't seem to be easy to digest?"
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Those who know me, Lao Wu Ye, Lao Wu, can you give me some more from between your fingers?"
"Are you trying to increase your shares?" Wu Kai put down his chopsticks, took a sip of his wine, and looked at Gao Yuan thoughtfully.
Gao Yuan smiled without saying a word, turned his head, picked up the tongs, and threw a few pieces of white charcoal into the fire. Staring at the faint green light, "It's not easy to speak!"
"It's hard to speak! You've already said it!" Wu Kai laughed, "Twenty percent, that's the most. You also know that Zhang Shouyue took up 20%. Lu Hong was originally with you. It took up half of it, and now I will increase it to 20% for you, and the outside shares already have 45%. More."
"Old Wu, you are refreshing, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, maybe in the future, your wine will be pushed to Quan Dayan, and you will no longer need to pay shares to some big shots."
"What can you do?" Wu Kai was very interested.
"It's not that I can do it, because in a few years, I may arrive in Jicheng." Gao Yuan punched the table heavily, causing the bowls and plates to jump high.
Wu Kai was taken aback, "Gao Yuan, I value you, and I am willing to invest in you because I value your stability and talent. You can't be too aggressive. You are only young. If you are less than twenty, you have a lot of money." How strong is it, can you fight against those who sit on a large territory and hold national power? You don't want to kill yourself."
Gao Yuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and put the glass heavily on the table, "Old Wu, Jing'er said before leaving, when her hair reaches her waist, how can I let me marry her?" She has waited for so long, youth is fleeting, youth is hard to come back, I will not let her wait for a long time. But don't worry, I still do things properly."
Wu Kai shook his head, "I'm worried about you!"
Gao Yuan nodded, "I'll do it, you see, let's see and talk! I won't let you down, let alone let your money go to waste, Old Wu, I was only going to ask you for 10% For shares, you are generous and gave me 20%, then I have to give you something in return."
"The reward is not in a hurry. What I value is your future. If that old guy Lu Hong dies, I will give him half of it." As a young and promising guy like you, I am much better at doing business than being an official, and I have always been very accurate in judging people."
"I don't want the chance to get rich?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile, "I can tell you something that no one will produce now. Semicolon!"
Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Wu Kai's eyes slowly widened, "Boy, don't lie to me, how can there be such a thing?"
"Naturally there are." Gao Yuan said slowly and authentically.
"What, what?" Across the table, Wu Kai grabbed Gao Yuan's hand a little out of composure, shaking it non-stop, and didn't even notice that his sleeve was hanging down into the vegetable soup on the table.
"Old Wu, you are already making money every day, and you will never run out of money in your next life, so you don't need to be so embarrassing?" Gao Yuan slowly withdrew his hand and teased.
"Boy, don't tempt me. If there is such a thing, what does it mean? It means a bigger profit than selling wine, and you don't have to pay too much, because no one can compete with you Isn't it?" Wu Kai said anxiously.
He was in a hurry, but Gao Yuan was not in a hurry, looked at Wu Kai, smiled and said: "Old Wu, I went to your house a few days ago, and you called the concubine you just got to toast me, your little concubine My concubine smells so good!"
Wu Kai looked at Gao Yuan in astonishment, and said after a while, "Boy, what do you want to do? You want Little Xingzi, yes, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, if you want it, just take it. Eh, that's not right, You are not such a person, if you are a good woman, you will not let that He Lanyan go, He Lanyan is much stronger than my little Xingzi."
Gao Yuan didn't expect Wu Kai to think of this, and he was stunned for a while. Then he realized that in this era, concubines can really be given away at will. With a wry smile: "My old Wu, I didn't mean you Concubine, I mean the fragrance of your concubine."
"Can it not be fragrant? It takes several hours to make the sachet every day. I don't know how much it cost me to get the red sandalwood and ambergris in the house. The grape shelf in the backyard is about to collapse." Kai shook his head.
"I know a method that allows you to produce various scented liquids in large quantities. In the future, your little concubine won't have to spend so much time. If you want to make yourself fragrant, just drop two drops on your body. "Gao Yuan smiled authentically." I call him Perfume."
Wu Kai was stunned for a long while, and said with some disappointment: "So it's something for women, how much can it be sold for, and how much can it earn?"
"Of course it won't sell too much, because this thing is supposed to be sold so that ordinary people can't afford it. Your best wine, ordinary people can save a little. If you grit your teeth, you can still buy it for two during the Chinese New Year." Reward yourself with three catties, but this thing, even if you work hard for a year, ordinary people can't afford it without eating or drinking." Gao Yuan laughed: "This is originally prepared for women from rich families .Old Wu, the sales are low, but it can’t be expensive! How many nobles are there in Dayan, how many maids are there in these noble families, and those big businessmen’s families who are not nobles? This thing spreads, and the profits it brings will not be less than your wine."
"Really?" Wu Kai asked in surprise.
"Of course." Gao Yuan said with confidence.
"Then how much does it cost to make this thing? I'm afraid it's not cheap, and you need something as precious as ambergris as a raw material?" Wu Kai asked.
"Wrong~IndoMTL.com~ You have a lot of raw materials for this perfume at home!" Gao Yuan said.
"There are so many in my family, what is that, why don't I know?"
"If you know, then it's not my turn to remind you!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, "Old Wu, what do you have the most in your family?"
"Of course it's wine!" Wu Kai opened his mouth, and suddenly froze, "Wine, could it be wine!"
"It's wine, but it's not the wine you have at home, you need to continue to refine it!" Gao Yuan said, "Take out the strongest wine in your house, and after purification, it can be used as the raw material for this perfume .”
"Why didn't you say it before?" Wu Kai's eyes turned red, "If you had said it earlier, we would have figured it out."
"Old Wu, don't worry, I really didn't think of this thing before, it was because I was panicking about money, I suddenly remembered this thing, and I only know a general method, specifically Yes, you have to figure it out yourself.”
"No problem, no problem, as long as I have a rough idea, I can find the best way." Wu Kai repeated authentically.
