After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 53 Business always has to be discussed

"There is a first time for everything. As the saying goes, once you practice, you will become familiar with it. After practicing a few times, you will become familiar with it. What's more, we have never done business, but the fourth aunt's family is in business, and there are people in charge of the Fang family. I think It's not hard to start a soap business."

Xu Qingying was good at tempting, and she wanted to let Miao have more of her own opinions, so she became a little more patient, "Besides, when we arrived in Qianzhou, what kind of food and clothing were free of charge? I don't know about the exiled prisoners. Do you have a house and a field? I remember the people from the Fang family said that we had to do corvee service first when we got there, and we had to do the heavy work of repairing the city walls and digging rivers. Who of the old, weak, sick and disabled in our family could withstand such a torment? ? If mother doesn’t feel sorry for herself, she should also feel sorry for her brother. His shoulder has been bruised and swollen for the past few days. He was so painful that he couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and could only endure it... Without money, we can’t move in Qianzhou..."

Speaking of her beloved son, Mrs. Miao was finally tempted, "Then...how much will it cost?"

"The cost is not high. The biggest cost expenditure is the pig soup and the mold. We will go to the next town to ask tomorrow to make sure."

"But will Team Leader Zhao agree? Will he think we are causing trouble again?" Miao had never taken such a big idea behind Xu Deyuan's back, and began to become anxious again, "What if...he opens his mouth like a lion? Do you want all our money...or...or force us to hand over the recipe?"

"Don't worry, mother." Xu Zhenying held Miao's hand, "These are all things that need to be discussed. Doing business is not always smooth sailing. If we really can't reach an agreement, at worst, we won't do it."

Miao finally calmed down and said, "Yes, we have to talk, we have to talk."

Looking at the calm daughter in front of her, Miao covered her chest, always feeling that as an elder, she was not as calm as a 13-year-old girl.

Looking at her daughter's demeanor and her words that are neither humble nor arrogant, she now believes what Xu Qingying said before more and more.

She secretly vowed in her heart that she would kneel down when she saw the Buddha in the future and burn a few sticks of incense devoutly to express her gratitude to the Buddha for sending her daughter back.

"Mother, keep your money first and don't give it to anyone who wants it. This will be the capital of our business in the future."

Miao agreed quickly, and the two mothers and daughters were silent for a moment. Miao suddenly said: "You... don't blame your father... When he was a child, your second uncle taught him how to read and write. He was so stubborn that he convinced him."

She understood that Xu Degui was used to being unable to stand up due to PUA. She always felt that she was inferior to her brother, so she naturally followed Xu Deyuan's advice.

"It has not been easy for your second uncle these past few years, pulling up such a big family——"

Xu Zhenying asked back: "What about Liu Jiejie? How can it be easy for him? He was sentenced by his second uncle, all his money was robbed, and he was slandered as a bastard. His mother hanged herself to protect his reputation. The relationship between him and his second uncle There is a deadly feud between them, and there is also a life-and-death lawsuit in between, but the second uncle has never paid any price for it."

She sighed, her eyes dim, as if there was an unspeakable anger, "Human life is like a piece of grass."

"If I had known this would happen, my second uncle would not have done this."

The anger in Xu Qingying's heart was even worse, but she concealed it very well. Miao couldn't understand it at all. In her world view, as long as an official does not kill indiscriminately or force the people to survive, he is considered a good official.

She could even understand Liu Jiejie. If someone forced Old Man Xu to death, she would definitely kill the enemy.But because of her different stances and being bound by family etiquette, she could only stand by Xu Deyuan, even defend him, stay with him, and maybe even help him deal with Liu Jiejie in the end.

She was forced to become a hypocritical villain, a hypocrite who sympathized with Liu Jie in words but wanted to kill him in action.

She had to admit that Liu Jiejie was a huge hidden danger, and she could feel his deep hatred from the way he looked at Xu Deyuan.

He hates Xu Deyuan, she can understand.

Even if Liu Jiejie killed Xu Deyuan privately, she would have nothing to say.

But Liu Jiejie was like a cold snake, lurking behind the Xu family. When someone in the Xu family relaxed, he would bite off the other person's neck.

Regardless of whether that person is Xu Deyuan or not, as long as he is from the Xu family, it seems that he can calm down his anger a little.

Miao also knew that her explanation was untenable, so she could only say something random: "In short, our family has no overnight feud. Your father will gradually understand..."

Xu Zhenying certainly had no time to argue with Xu Degui.

All she could think about was the soap.

If possible, she would like to mainly invite some girls to work, so that the wages can be settled to them. As long as the girl's family has money in their hands, they will have confidence and a little security.

This can be regarded as something she can do for Li Zhaodi.

The next night, Xu Zhenying found Team Leader Zhao at the inn and told him his plan straight to the point.

Leader Zhao was a little surprised: "Business?"

At this time, he was washing his face, wiping his handkerchief casually, as if he didn't take Xu Qingying's words to heart. What kind of business does a little girl want to do?
When she was in Bianjing City?
Could it be that she regards herself as the one in charge?

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have even let her in when he first found her standing alone outside the door.The sixth girl of the Xu family is neither too old nor too young. Yunying is not married yet, so it is time to avoid suspicion.

Fortunately, Xu Qingying seemed to be quite sensible. She only took half a step into the house and kept the door open.

Otherwise, he really has no reason to explain.

"It's fine, what kind of business are you doing? Where are your adults?" Zhao Bantou just wanted to send her away at will, but he was afraid that she would have any restless thoughts, so he threatened, "You are exiled prisoners now. If you are If you are caught doing business, you will be jailed at the least, and beheaded at the worst. Go back quickly and stop thinking about it."

Seeing that Team Leader Zhao didn't listen to her words at all, Xu Qingying knew that she had suffered a disadvantage due to her young age. If she had known better, she would have asked Lian to be the middleman.

But she couldn't trust the Lian family, and there was currently no one who could help him, so she had no choice but to come in person.

Xu Zhenying smiled slightly, "Why would Team Leader Zhao scare a little girl like me? I am barely familiar with the laws of Dazhou. If I remember correctly, the laws of Dazhou do not prohibit prisoners from being exiled to do business."

In the past few days, Xu Zhenying sharpened his skills in battle and went to borrow a copy of "Da Zhou Law" from the old man of the Fang family. It must be said that the legal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was extremely imperfect, and many legal provisions were crudely written. How to judge cases relied on the subjective factors of those in power. There are many, so there are many places that can be manipulated, and unjust, false and wrongful convictions can easily occur.After hearing this, Team Leader Zhao couldn't help but look at the person at the door.

She is a little girl, very thin and small, wearing coarse linen clothes, her hair is simply pulled up, her face is delicate, her skin is pale, and she is obviously lacking in energy and blood.

Only those eyes, calm, calm and calm, are unexpectedly different from those of his age.

Without waiting for Bantou Zhao to refuse, Xu Qingying took the lead in drawing the pie, "Tangtou Zhao, listen to me first. The third bedroom in our Xu family is the third bedroom, and the second bedroom is the second bedroom. We can make the decision on the third bedroom ourselves, and I have already Convince my mother, so you are not cooperating with my second uncle, but with me, Xu Qingying. When we are doing business, we still have to say ugly things first."

Captain Zhao couldn't help but become interested when he heard a little girl talk. He thought about teasing her a few times, then pretended to be very interested, "Keep talking..."

"As for me, I got a recipe from my grandfather, which can make something with super strong cleaning power and as delicate as jade. Let's call it soap."

When he heard that there was a prescription, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, although Bantou Zhao still had that careless smile on his face, he inexplicably lost his expression.

It’s no joke if you have a recipe in hand.

The ancients hid their skills, and if there is a recipe, it must be a family heirloom.

"I am going to mobilize some people to make soap and buy and sell it along the route of our exile. The first batch of soap will be invested by the third room of the Xu family, and the income will be divided into ten parts. You and the officials below will get [-]%, and I, the third room of the Xu family, will receive [-]%. It accounts for [-]%, and the remaining [-]%, of which [-]% is used to purchase the next batch of soap raw materials, [-]% is distributed to the people who come to work for us, and the other [-]% is used as accumulated funds to prepare for emergencies.”

When Leader Zhao heard this, he knew in his heart that Xu Qingying was not just talking casually, but was really planning to do this business.

Zhao Bantou still didn't know the profit of this soap, but Xu Qingying only kept [-]% of the profit to buy raw materials, which meant that the gross profit of this soap could be doubled.

At this time, Bantou Zhao's two-thirds teasing turned into two-thirds heartbeat.

Team Leader Zhao hid his surprise and pretended to be unmoved, "This... no reward for no work. Listen to Miss Xu, I don't pay anything, but I can get [-]% of the profit? Is Miss Xu following? Am I kidding?"

This is the hook.

Xu Zhenying deliberately revealed a flaw and sold it to Bantou Zhao, just to let him know how profitable the soap was. If he didn't give any sweeteners, how could he seduce people?

"Team Leader Zhao, you are joking. How can you say nothing when you have taken such a big risk?" Xu Qingying's words touched the heart of Team Leader Zhao. Seeing that Team Leader Zhao looked satisfied, she continued, " Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not explicitly prohibit the exile of prisoners to engage in business, if someone with intentions gets caught, it is hard to say what will happen. You are at the front and bear the greatest risk for us. Furthermore, the shackles need to be released for work. We still have to keep an eye on the prisoners who want to escape. Doesn’t this bother you? Taking [-]% of the profit is a reasonable thing. Please don’t shirk it, Squad Leader Zhao——"

Only with enough profits can Bantou Zhao escort them.

Team leader Zhao pretended to be embarrassed, but his heart was already in turmoil. Xu Qingying's words sounded scary, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no risk.

Who cares about an exiled team?What's more, this team spends most of their time traveling in deep mountains and old forests. As long as they are secretive enough, who will find out?
If this little girl can really make soap, when she gets to the town, she will sell it to the people she trusts. Isn’t it them who has the final say on how much she sells?

In the end, even the prescription can be snatched away.

After all, because he was concerned about Xu Deyuan, Team Leader Zhao would not do anything too extreme.

With ups and downs in his heart, Team Leader Zhao touched the wicker chair and sat down while thinking.

Captain Zhao touched his chin and said slowly: "You are right. If someone discovers it, the brothers' heads may not be saved. Even if I don't care about this little money, I still have to do it for the brothers below. Let’s think about it. It’s not easy for my brothers to leave their families and follow me in exile in Qianzhou for only half a year.”

Xu Qingying immediately nodded in agreement, but she thought in her heart that they were all foxes for thousands of years, and Bantou Zhao actually started playing with her.

Who would refuse something that has no harm at all?
"It's just..." Team leader Zhao began to think deeply, and finally believed Xu Qingying's words, but he hesitated and only winked, "The Fang family is still here..."

Xu Qingying immediately hit the snake with a stick, squinted her eyes and said: "Don't worry, you don't have to speak for now, I will convince Mr. Fang. I thought he would come to you in person within the next two days, and then you should pretend to disagree first. , and stated the seriousness of it, indicating that this matter is very risky, and you dare not take the risk."

Squad leader Zhao was stunned. Xu Qingying raised her hand to stop him from asking, "You will know when the time comes. Don't worry, I won't embarrass the squad leader."

What else is there to say? The prescriptions are free, the manpower is readily available, and even the risks have been planned and avoided in advance. After thinking about it carefully, Team Leader Zhao couldn't find any reason to refuse.

What's more, he didn't want to refuse.

Who would think they have too much money?
Looking at the confident Xu Qingying, Bantou Zhao's heart was filled with excitement. After just a short conversation with Xu Qingying, Bantou Zhao was pinched by Xu Qingying. From the initial contempt to the current caution, Bantou Zhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The sixth girl in the family is really a character!

Seeing that the inducements were almost there, Xu Qingying thought it was time to set her own terms.

Xu Qingying said slowly: "It is precisely because the officials have taken so many risks, so I thought, the officials can just hide behind them and don't have to show their faces. The dirty work will naturally be done by someone. You guys can just count the numbers with peace of mind." It’s money.”

Bantou Zhao has never done business, but he also heard the implication of Xu Qingying's words. Did he not want them to get involved in the business?
"This house belongs to my grandfather. It would be disrespectful to use it for nothing. If outsiders were allowed to peek even a little bit more, my mother would not be able to explain it to my grandfather. Therefore, my mother would gather people, assign tasks, and control quality. Do it yourself.”

This makes sense, after all, a prescription is worth thousands of gold.

Since I have to worry about Mr. Xu's face, I naturally can't think of snatching the secret recipe. It's better not to interfere, lest the recipe is not seen, but makes the whole body smelly.

At this moment, Bantou Zhao had completely put away his contempt and agreed, "That's natural."

"As for how to sell..." Xu Qingying remembered that there was no word "sales" in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so she changed her explanation, "How to buy and sell, I also hope that Team Leader Zhao can leave it to us to handle it. You only need to cooperate when necessary. That’s it for us.”

Leader Zhao was a little unhappy, and his voice became a little louder, "In this case, we don't know the final selling price of the soap, so how will we divide the profits?"
