Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 233, Business Landscape

   "Mother, have you heard? Zheng Kun took the Li family to live in his own house, and Zeng took the child back to Zeng's house the next day."

  In Yixiang Hall, after greeting Mrs. Shi, when everyone was sitting and chatting together, Mrs. Shi Wu shared the news she just learned with a smile.

   Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi Qi all looked surprised, and looked at Jin Yuee one after another.

   Seeing everyone looking at her, Jin Yuee quickly said, "I don't know about this."

  Shi the old lady withdrew her eyes, lowered her eyelids and said: "Leave the housework of other people's house alone."

   Mrs. Shi Wu felt that Sifang did this, but she didn't dare to say it in front of the old lady, so she could only drag Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi Qi to mutter when she left Yixiang Hall.

   "Sister-in-law, seventh sibling, the Li family has only come to the capital for two or three months. Even if they want to offend people, there is a limit. Why can't they live in the outer city?"

   Mrs. Shi squinted at Mrs. Fifth: "Fifth brother and sister, what do you want to say?"

  Shi Wu's wife said in a low voice: "You said, could it be?" Pointing in the direction of Yiguiyuan, "Did you do it?"

  Shi Qi said with a smile: "If sister-in-law Wu wants to know, why not ask directly?"

  Shi Wu's wife choked: "How can I ask this?"

   Mrs. Shi was speechless: "Then we don't know." After speaking, she talked to Mrs. Shi Qi and left quickly.

  Back to Yimingtang, seeing that Elder Shi was still at home, Elder Shi repeated what Mrs. Fifth said again: "Master, do you think the fourth brother's family did this?"

  Shi Elder shook his head: "No."

  Hearing such a firm answer, Mrs. Shi was surprised: "How does the master know?"

  Shi's face showed a headache: "Zhengkun came to me before, and he also thought it was the fourth brother who did it, so he begged me to make peace."

   "I went to see the fourth child that day, and the fourth child told me that he hated the Li family, but he really didn't do it."

   "The fourth child is a daring one. If he says it's not, then it's definitely not."

   Mrs. Shi also recognized Shi Zhenghe's character, and she was silent for a while: "It's not the fourth brother, so could it be Goro?"

  Shi Eldest Master shook his head again: "No, Wulang and Jiulang are on errands in the palace every day, and they go back to the uncle's house after their errands. These concierges know about it, and they don't have time to trouble the Li family."

  The eldest lady said again: "Aren't there still sisters Yin and Xin?"

  When the old man heard this, he laughed directly: "I said ma'am, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are. Sister Yin and Sister Xin are two girls, and it is already very good to be able to open a store."

   "Forcing the Li family to live in the outer city, do you know how much effort it takes? They don't have the ability!"

  When the eldest lady looked at her husband who didn't care, she also had some self-doubt.

  Zhengkun is a Hanlin scholar after all, with Zeng's family behind him, so he couldn't find a house to accommodate his family under such circumstances, which is indeed a bit generous.

  Sister Xin and his sons should not be able to do it.

  Shi Da Furen thought for a while and asked again: "Then who is dealing with the Li family?"

  The old man snorted and sighed: "Who knows." After a pause, "The daughter of the Zeng family is pregnant, and the tide of the Zeng family has risen. It's not that no one is jealous."

Mrs. Shi nodded with understanding, thought for a while and said: "The fourth younger brother put the Li family in prison before, and when Zheng Kun came to the mansion, his parents didn't show up. In the future, Zheng Kun will fight again because of the Li family and fourth younger brother If there is a conflict, the master had better not get involved."

  The Elder Shi nodded: "You think I want to get involved."

  The fourth brother is a biological brother with some blood relationship. Zheng Kun has lived with them for many years since he was a child, and he has some feelings for him. Being sandwiched between these two people really gave him a headache.

   Mrs. Shi: "Master, avoid it in the future. Let them solve the matter of the fourth brother and Zheng Kun by themselves. We have to learn from our parents about this."

   Sending the Li family to Li Zhengkun's side, let Li Zhengkun restrain him, and solve the family's troubles, Shi Fuxin began to deal with her own affairs with peace of mind.

  She found that time is running out.

  No way, there are too many things to deal with.

  The first is the operation and management of Hongyanxiao. Fortunately, sometimes Fuyin helps her, which can save her a lot of time.

  Now there are ten branches in the capital, and it is not appropriate to add more. Therefore, she wants to infiltrate other provinces, and strive to open a branch of Hongyanxiao in every provincial capital of Dachu.

  The second is the business development of Shennongtang.

  Master Xiang has successfully received the island and pasture from Meng and Yang. According to the planning map brought by Ximen Fengxiao, the island and pasture have begun to plant medicinal materials.

  With the two medicinal material supply bases of the island and the ranch, she is going to start opening a branch of Shennongtang in the northern Xinjiang area.

   In addition, the Liaodong region will also start planning.

  Northern Great Chu, including the Northwest region under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Northern Xinjiang region centered on Huaiyuan, and the Liaodong region.

  These places border with other countries and are the most frequently fought areas.

   Whenever there is a war, casualties are inevitable. She wants the branch of Shennongtang to cover all these areas.

  Thirdly, Saihua Tuoju still needs to see some patients from time to time.

  With the spread of fame, more and more patients suffering from difficult and miscellaneous diseases came to her door. Now she is not so short of money, so she collects various consultation fees.

   Those who are rich and powerful owe her a favor; those who have no money, it depends on their actual situation.

   In this way, he also accumulated a lot of contacts.

  Fourth, she also wants to build Shennongtang Women's Medical College.

  The establishment of a college may attract the attention of the imperial court, and it is not easy to implement at this stage. Now Xue Quan can only secretly train some medical students who are willing to study medicine in private.

  Because Sai Huatuo's fame spread, many doctors wanted to come to exchange medical skills with her. She chose a few with good medical ethics and told them some medical skills beyond this era.

   Of course, this is conditional, the condition is that they have to go to Xue Quan and help her train medical apprentices for free for five years.

   Now Xue Quan already has a lot of apprentices who have mastered basic medical knowledge, and the Huaiyuan Shennongtang branch opened, just in time for them to be used.

   These things are what Shi Fuxin wants to do and want to do, because she still has to go to the National Women's Prison to attend classes, so there is not enough time.

   "Why are you frowning, what are you thinking?"

  Shi Fuyin came to look for Shi Fuxin, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Shi Fuxin frowning in deep thought.

  When Shi Fuxin saw her sister, a smile appeared on her face, and she handed her the blueprint she had just drawn: "Sister, look quickly, my business map has begun to take shape."

  On the planning map, there is a simplified map of Dachu, and there are two eye-catching marks on the map.

   "The green mark represents the branch of Shennongtang, and the red mark represents the branch of Hongyanxiao." Worried that Shi Fuyin would not understand, Shi Fuxin explained thoughtfully.

  At this moment, there are twenty-six green markers on the north side of the map.

  According to Shi Fuxin's plan, the Protectorate of the Western Regions will open nine branches of Shennongtang, eight in Huaiyuan, and nine in Liaodong, just covering the entire northern border area.

  The red marks are also spread all over the provincial capitals of Dachu, and the rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River and the coast are even more dense.

  Picture, Shi Fuyin understood. Just because I understood it, I was dumbfounded and shocked, and the light paper in my hand suddenly became a little overwhelming.

  Sister's ambition is a bit big!

  Shi Fuyin swallowed her saliva: "Sister Xin, I must support you, but with such a big stall, can you play well?"

  Shi Fuxin smiled confidently: "I think I can." After a pause, "This is just my first small goal, the first version of the business map."

  Shi Fuyin stared: "Do you have a bigger territory?"

  Shi Fuxin nodded: "Of course, I haven't marked Shennongtang Women's Medical College yet. Next, when Shennongtang blooms everywhere in the north, the market in the south will also follow suit."

   "I want Shennongtang to open all over Dachu. As long as there is Shennongtang, Shennongtang Women's Medical College will be established."

  Listening to her younger sister's imagination, Shi Fuyin didn't know what to say. At this moment, she only had one feeling, that having such a younger sister was so stressful!

  National Women’s Supervisor provides business class students with free stores for only one year, and after one year, they have to pay for it.

   In the blink of an eye, the one-year deadline came.

  According to the experience of previous years, the students were in various arrears of fees, but this time, before the masters went to collect the fees, the students took the initiative to pay the fees, which really surprised the teachers.

   After seeing the taxes handed in by the students, I was surprised to find that this year's students are really full of talents.

  Except for Dongfang Yunshang, who has a family background and backstage support, the shops opened may be a little watery, but most of the students really showed super high business talents.

   Needless to say, Confidante's business is exploding. Nowadays, female family members in the capital will be ridiculed if they have never used Confidante's products.

  There is also the building block workshop opened by Hu Xinrui, who played new tricks just by pushing the wood.

The most indispensable thing in the capital is rich rich dudes. It is said that there is a second generation ancestor who stopped going out to spend time and wine because he played with building blocks. It took several months to build a three-meter Long, two-story wooden boat.

  Now the second generation ancestor is most proud of inviting friends to his home to visit the wooden boat he made by himself.

   Not only the second generation ancestors like it, adults and children also like it, and its ability to make money is not much worse than that of Confidante.

   Next is Du Zixuan's flower shop in the water. Growing flowers in the water is also very popular with literati and refined scholars. Those who are not short of money at home are willing to buy some to display at home.

   There is also the Weaving Girl Workshop opened by Zhuo Yimian, because the silk and satin it sells do not fade and do not fade, attracting businessmen from all over the world to rush for it.

  If the customers of other students are ordinary people who sell goods casually, then Zhuo Yimian's customers are wholesalers, whose earning power ranks among the top three among the current students.

  Chu Qian has been following up on the situation of the business school students, and he truthfully reported it to the emperor.

  After seeing it, the emperor sighed a little: "Shi Fuxin and Zhuo Yimian, the Wuchangbo Mansion and Rongchangbo Mansion are about to fall into ruin. I never thought that both of them would have good children."

  Chu Qian said with a smile: "Uncle Rongchang's mansion is not as good as Wuchang's mansion. There are still promising men in Wuchang's mansion, but Zhuo Yimian is not bad in Rongchang's mansion."

  The emperor nodded his head, a woman has to marry someone to be successful, and a man still has to rely on a man to establish a family.

  The emperor looked again at the taxes submitted by the students of the business school, and raised his eyebrows: "The taxes paid by the students of the business school are actually equivalent to the tax revenue of a medium-sized county!"

  Chu Qian immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is the power of doing business. Not only can you earn money, but it can also make people's lives more prosperous and convenient."

"For one tael of silver, the people bought Hongyanxiao's rouge powder, and Hongyanxiao took the silver to a merchant to buy spices and other raw materials, and then the merchant went to the people who produced spices to buy them. After a circle, everyone got what they needed. , got everything I wanted.”

  “The more money is circulated, the more abundant the national treasury will be, and the better the court will manage and implement administrative orders.”

  The emperor nodded: "That's the reason, no wonder Father and the others have never canceled the business school." Looking at the ladies on the list, he smiled.

"Empress Wende has said in public many times that women can hold up half the sky. In the future, you can show me the business situation of each class of students in the business school. I want to see. Where does Empress Wende have the confidence to say that? Say something like that."

  Chu Qian nodded in response, and saw that the emperor was about to start reviewing the memorial, so he bowed and retreated.

  The emperor is concerned about the operation of the business class, and the students themselves are also very concerned about it, and there are still some seemingly non-existent rivalries.

   To judge whether a store is operating well, the tax payment figures are the best proof.

  Fairy Smile, who pays the most taxes, ranks first; Weaving Girl Workshop, second; Building Block Workshop, third.

   For this ranking, Dongfang Yunshang and other noble ladies must not accept it, but there is nothing they can do if they are not as good as others, and they have to admit defeat.

   "Fuxin, congratulations on becoming the best business student in our class."

  When Fuxin was about to leave with the tax list, Zhuo Yimian walked over suddenly.

   "Congratulations too, our family likes the fabrics from Zhinufang very much." After a pause, Shi Fuxin smiled and looked at Zhuo Yimian, "You are very good at dyeing fabrics that don't fade."

  Zhuo Yimian thanked Fuxin with a smile when he saw Shi Fuxin speak sincerely.

   Actually, it’s not that she’s so good. The Rongchangbo Mansion is the founder of the country, and the ancestors of the Zhuo family especially admired Empress Wende, and left a special biography of Empress Wende.

  She just discovered in the biography how to keep the color of the fabric from fading, and then did it.

  Because of the fame of Zhinufang, Rongchang Bo Mansion is now remembered by everyone again. Although the powerful and powerful nobles still ignore them, the situation is much better than the previous Bo Mansion.

  The situation in Wuchangbo Mansion is similar to that in Rongchangbo Mansion. She privately thought that she and Shi Fuxin, who were in the same situation, should be able to talk together, so they started to make friends.

  Shi Fuxin saw Zhuo Yimian standing still, she said immediately: "I still have things to do, so let's go first."

  She picked up a patient the day before yesterday, and now she is going to Anyefang for consultation.

  Seeing Shi Fuxin walking in a hurry, Zhuo Yimian also started to pack up his things and prepare to go home. At this moment, Dongfang Yunshang came over and wanted to ask her to go shopping.

  In the past, she would readily agree, but now, she directly declined.

  Years of indifference made her understand a truth. When she makes friends with people of different status, she is bound to lie low to please others. Now that she can use her own ability to win a place for the uncle's house, she doesn't want to embarrass herself so much anymore.

  Anyefang, the Four Seas Casino.

  In the backyard of the gambling house, Chu Qian gave Chu Yao a tax list of the business school.

   "The sixth girl from the Shi family you know is really capable. I did some preliminary calculations. The tax she will pay next year can be lower than the county's fiscal revenue."

  Chu Yao looked disbelieving: "Is it that exaggerated?"

Chu Qian immediately took out a pen and counted for him: "This is Hongyanxiao's first year's tax, you know, this is a shop. Now there are ten Hongyanxiao branches in the capital, and every family's business is booming. Unexpectedly, the tax in the second year will be ten times or even more than this year's. See if you can offset the fiscal tax of an upper county?"

  Looking at the figures calculated by Chu Qian, Chu Yao stopped talking.

  He admitted that Yuan Pomegranate has some abilities.

  Chu Yao looked at the other people on the list: "The others seem to be good."

Speaking of this, Chu Qian became interested: "It's really strange. The National Women's College of Business has not produced a business genius for many years. I didn't expect so many people to appear this time. I was shocked. gone."

   "Before this, I also thought that it was definitely not good for women to run a business, and they must be inferior to men, but now, I really dare not say that."
