Chapter 11: Season of Harvest

Planting in spring, growing in summer, harvesting in autumn, and hiding in winter are the growth rules of crops and are also a process of human growth.

It is also very practical for doing business.

Therefore, Yun Zhao invested in some shops in spring, and on the day of the winter solstice, he gained a lot of shops.

Since people in Lantian no longer rely on the weather for their own income, God is very proud of his face. This year's climate is humid, neither flood nor drought, and the weather is so good that people forget God's existence.

There is a lot of water in the air, and the tall Yushan blocked the cold current going south. After the cold current encountered the majestic Yushan, a small cloud mass formed in this area.

With such a cloud gas mass, when the sky in other parts of Guanzhong sounds clear and clear, the auspicious snow falls within ten miles of Yushan.

Many happy people walked into Yushan City with pride in carriages, donkeys, or walking, and sat with peace of mind under the shed built in advance by Yunqi, drinking hot mutton soup, eating a thick pot of water, waiting for Yun's tent to call their names.

What can truly bring people food to satisfy is definitely not a sumptuous banquet, but a large piece of lamb and a huge pot of pot.

When the diameter is two feet long and the thick pot of a slap is piled up like a mountain, the feeling of hunger will make people unfamiliar as if they were in the previous life.

Anyone who is invited into the shed can use the food here at will.

Liu Ru held a tael of silver tightly in one hand, and dragged her daughter tightly with the other hand, looking around through the crowd. Although her daughter was drooling about mutton, mutton soup, and huge pot helmets, Liu Ru refused to take it. She just wanted to pay dividends to the county magistrate of Lantian County as soon as possible and take the opportunity to sell more roasted corn here.

When she came, the oven was filled with green corn, and the green corn that she had carefully preserved was about to be roasted.

The main character of Yun’s family today is Yun Niang!

After all, the signature of the contract with all merchants is Yun Niang's name.

She likes such scenes.

In the past, when the Yun family tenants paid their rent, she liked to watch trucks of grain poured into her own granary.

This gave her a great sense of security and happiness.

Later, the Yun family basically had no tenants. Even if the tenants had food, they would hand it over to the grain warehouse. They would give Yun family some money, and Yun family bought grain from the grain warehouse...

In this way, there is no longer such a lively scene of a prosperous family... How disappointing Yun Niang is.

Now it's OK.

Countless people came to send money to Yun.

This was the biggest event of the year for Yun Niang, just like the rent collection after the autumn. So she ordered the housekeeper Yunqi to treat these hard-working merchants as their own tenants for a treatment.

At this time, Yun Niang was kind and like a Buddha statue, sitting quietly in the deepest part of the shed, wrapped in a black fox fur coat, holding a copper warmer in her hand, and surrounded by a group of men and women's minions.

"Anren, this is the dividend of Liao's Pharmaceutical Bureau this year. According to our agreement, the wife invested 100 taels of silver, accounting for 100% of the shares. The pharmacy business this year is good, and the paste and pills have gone far, so the profits are also huge.

Here is the account book, here is the dividend of 270 taels, six cents of silver."

Yun Niang smiled and flipped the account book casually, then put it on the table and said, "Shopkeeper Liao tried his best to keep the secret recipe at home. He would rather let the secret recipe rot in his stomach than let the villain succeed. He would rather pay for the medicine himself than make those unscrupulous money.

Just because of your pedantic spirit, I don’t believe you will do anything in the account book.

Can a dividend of 100 taels of silver be 270 taels per year?

Manager Liao, Yun’s investment in your pharmacy is asking your pharmacy to give the people more good medicines and real medicinal materials, but I didn’t think about how much money I made from you, and I didn’t rely on the Yun family’s great cause to exploit you.

So, you make it clear, your pharmacy really made so much money last year?

to be honest!

No matter if you give more or less, I can't get through here."

Manager Liao bowed to the end and said gratefully: "I dare not hide it from Anren. The income last year is indeed good. After paying the tax, the dividends dedicated to Anren are real dividends.

The four shareholders of Liao Pharmaceutical Bureau, except for leaving enough fees for purchasing medicinal materials next year, each of them will pay dividends according to this amount.

It’s ashamed to say that Liao didn’t put in much effort, but he had more than An people.

I never dreamed that doing business seriously would make a lot of profits.”

Yun Niang frowned and looked at the account room, and the account room hurriedly said, "Madam, that's true. Our family has to review the account book every month, so the money is more than five taels of silver than the account room calculated in the account room. It is estimated that this is the money that Manager Liao has for three days of exemption period at the end of the year."

Yun Niang smiled at the scene and said to Manager Liao: "That's it. Don't be allowed next time. Just do whatever you want, so that the business can last long.

Yunqi, take Manager Liao into the yard to have tea."

Yunqi smiled and invited Manager Liao to walk through the shed and enter the Yun family mansion, which made the surrounding merchants feel excited.

There are profits and losses. When Lao Zhou, who was selling iron stoves, came to Yun Niang with a bitter face, he only had an account book but no money.

The tent immediately approached Yun Niang and muttered a few times.

Yun Niang looked at Lao Zhou with a bad look on her face and said, "High up straight, you can lose money when doing business. If you lose money this year, you can make money back next year.

In addition, if you pay, all shareholders should bear the responsibility. What will you bear alone?"

Lao Zhou said bitterly: "This is the old man who is incompetent. He thought the iron stove could be sold at a good price in Luoyang. Unexpectedly, the goods were delivered but the payment was not collected."

Yun Niang said angrily: "Who dares?"

Lao Zhou spread his hands and said, "No one is greedy for our goods. The merchant who ordered us was confiscated by the court. Our goods were crushed in Luoyang and we could only sell them one by one before returning the money."

The accountant interrupted, "Old Zhou, you are crazy too. Luoyang is now where the bandits are rampant, and you dare to go there too. I really don't know what you are good at."

Old Zhou bowed repeatedly when he heard this, hoping to get Yun Niang's understanding.

“How much did you lose last year?”

"Two thirty taels of silver are all pressed on the goods."

Yun Niang's reconciliation room said: "How much should we pay?"

The accountant immediately said: "Our family accounts for 20% of the shares and admits to pay 46 taels of silver."

Yun Niang patted the armrest of the chair and said angrily: "Then you will pay for forty-six taels of silver, and the shares will not change."

The account immediately counted forty-six taels of silver and threw it to Lao Zhou coldly and said, "Go there to write the receipt. After writing, go to eat mutton soup and pot-kick. If you have enough, you can earn money for the shareholders in the coming year!"

Although Yun was coldly opposed, Lao Zhou, a man who had been stumbled all year round, stood in the snow with a few ingots of silver in his arms and shed tears. After writing the receipt, he bowed to the accountant and said, "I have no shame to eat the good food of the shareholders this year. After I block the holes next year, I will go to the mansion for a banquet."

Liu Ru saw all these scenes. When it was her turn, she suddenly realized that her daughter was missing. She was about to shout, but she saw her daughter sitting next to a man wearing a fur coat, eating mutton with a big bowl bigger than her head, and holding a huge piece of pot-help in her hand.

The man wearing a fur coat pushed his eyes at Liu Ru and said, "I am Lao Jin who is walking to the west. Seeing that your daughter is rare, let her stay here to eat and drink. If you go to the delivery, don't worry, everyone here knows me."

Seeing that everyone was smiling and teasing her daughter for food and drink, while Yunshi's servant wearing a black hat was on the side, she felt that these people had nothing to be afraid of, so she curled her body and said, "Then I'll bother this big brother."

The big man laughed, waved at her, and continued to put a large piece of mutton into the child's bowl.

Hearing that the accountant was calling his name, Liu Ru took a long breath, walked to Yun Niang, put the ingot of hot silver that had already been held on the table and said: "In August, Yun's family invested one tael of silver with a stock, accounting for 20% of the shares. Now it is the winter solstice in December, and Yun's family should pay 314 yuan in dividends, and this is the account book."

Yun Niang first looked at the tall Liu Ru, then the silver ingot on the table, and sighed, "You are a businessman."

When the account room heard Yun Niang say this, he immediately checked the record of Liu Ru, and then said to Yun Niang: "It's not that. This woman is cunning and cunning. The accounts are not bad, the records are clear, and the dividends are also poor.

However, this woman specially brought a ingot of silver to distribute dividends, and our family wanted to find her six hundred and eighty-six copper coins... Grandpa, she took the copper coins and then added 114 copper coins to find foreign merchants to exchange for silver, and could exchange for one tael of silver.

We earn two hundred cents in one go!

Really cunning!”

Yun Niang was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she looked at Liu Ru with interest and said slowly: "What do you say?"

Liu Ru's face turned red at first, and after a moment, she raised her head and said, "When the county lord bought the shares, she gave the little woman one tael of silver, not copper coins.

The contract also states that the county lord invests a ounce of silver, and the security person can check it."

Yun Niang laughed when she heard this, took the document handed over from the account room and looked at it and smiled more happily. She patted the armrest of the chair and said, "My pig son has really been a pig this time. Lao Yin, so she did what she said. Who made us lose money?"
