Villain’s Koi Fish Mother

"Qiao'er, this month the jewelry shop made 1,300 taels of silver after removing the cost. Dad was thinking about opening another branch on Wanxing Street. How does Qiao'er feel?"

Qin Yuanhe, who has been managing the jewelry store, was very excited after he cleared the accounts of the month. This profit is much more profitable than the previous drug store.

Li Xia saw that Qin Yuanhe had been busy with the shop, and his mental state was much better than before, and she was completely relieved.

She said: "Father, things are faintly expensive. Now only the business of this shop, the craftsmen who make jewelry are too busy. My daughter does not recommend that you open another branch. The business of the two shops will be lost due to the out of stock. It's worn down."

Unlike modern times, things produced in ancient times can be mass-produced by machines. Like jewelry, they are all handmade by silversmiths, which is very time-consuming and laborious. Their shops have almost hired all qualified craftsmen in the capital, and the supply is in short supply, let alone the second one.

After hearing this, Qin Yuanhe thought for a while, and felt that what his daughter said was reasonable, and said: "It's because my father's consideration is not correct."

"Father, I told you before that when the jewelry shop starts business, can we consider opening a garment shop and a rouge gouache shop? Dad, you can start preparing now and find the best textile factory to supply us. Nvhong’s most outstanding embroiderer is used to make the most fashionable styles of the moment. You can ask your mother to go with you. Nvhong understands better than you."

These days, Li Xia walked through the streets and alleys, and found that in ancient times, there were only cloth houses and silk and satin houses, and people needed to buy fabrics first, and then the tailors in the shop would tailor-made clothes for them.

Although it is beneficial, you can choose the fabric yourself, but the style and color that you really make are actually limited. It is better to make the clothes into ready-made garments and hang them in the store, so that customers can directly see the finished products. You can try it on, there will be many aspects.

There are also rouge and gouache shops, which are usually sold by small vendors. There is no special shop to sell the cosmetics used by these ancient women. So Li Xia thinks that if there is a shop that concentrates all his cosmetics and completes the color series, If the packaging is exquisite, the business will definitely be very good.

Women can't resist the temptation of beautiful things, which has been the case since ancient times.

So Li Xia told Qin Yuanhe his thoughts one by one. After Qin Yuanhe heard this, his brows couldn't help but tightened, and asked: "Qiao'er, I haven't seen such a store father yet. Can I do business?"

"The clichéd business method is no longer profitable. Look at how many cloth houses there are on the street where we are going out. You can't count them with one hand. If there is no innovation, how can we compete with them."

Qin Yuanhe is also a businessman, knowing that another path can often have better results, but it is also more likely to lose money.

He said: "That coincidence, what do you think should be done?"

"Look for the best fabrics, the best embroiderers, and make clothes with the most special and exquisite styles. Just like jewelry, the name of our Qin's shop must be embroidered on the clothes, so that the clothes become a unique existence and an identity. symbol of."

"But if you do this, ordinary people may not be able to afford it at all."

"We are targeting the wealthy people in the capital."

The wives and concubines of wealthy people like to compete for pets the most. If clothes can become a capital to show off and become a symbol of pets, then there is no worry about sales at all. These people have to come and buy them, just like modern luxury goods.

The traditional thinking Qin Yuanhe heard his daughter's unheard of thoughts, and couldn't understand it for a while. He felt that since his daughter woke up again after a few days in a coma after seeking death, the whole person has become strange, like another person.

And the amount of her money is so huge that he can't believe it, who in the capital can borrow so much money to a person who meets in peace.

And if it is really borrowed money, the daughter will spend thousands of twentieth and several thousand taels, which is too unreasonable.

All kinds of things mixed together, which made Qin Yuanhe feel too weird, and the more he thought about it, the less reliable he became.

He looked at his daughter and wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to say it. He was afraid of touching her daughter's sadness and fearing that after he knew the truth, it would be a possibility that he could not accept.

After struggling for a long time, Qin Yuanhe finally failed to speak, but Li Xia saw through Qin Yuanhe's thoughts.

In any of the previous worlds, the original owner did not have parents, and his relatives did not have much contact, so there was no such trouble, but this world has a couple of parents and a lot of trouble.

Li Xia couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation, so she could only say: “Father, I know you are used to your daughters who were gentle and well-behaved before, and you are unfamiliar with your daughters now. If my daughter is not strong enough to support this family, this family will probably fall apart."

After speaking, Li Xia's eyes were red, and Qin Yuanhe saw his daughter look like this, so he couldn't ask anything more, and blamed himself: "It's all father's fault, because he didn't know the people clearly and destroyed and failed to protect you."

"Don't blame yourself for the past, dad, we should now manage the family business well, have money and power, so that no one else can bully us." Li Xia solemnly said.

"Okay, dad, everything is up to you, ready-to-wear shops and rouge gouache shops, dad will do what you say."

After the business matters were handed over to Qin Yuanhe, Li Xia devoted himself completely to dealing with the Liu family.

The Liu family wanted to purchase one hundred thousand taels of grain for the imperial court. This was a huge purchase amount. Therefore, in addition to the capital, several surrounding cities were also within the scope of purchase.

In addition to oppressing the local people in Beijing, Liu Ji'an also bribed local officials in neighboring cities, letting them turn one eye and shut another, and extended their magic claws to these cities.

What Li Xia had to do was to get ahead of Liu Ji'an and purchase all the food at the market price, so that Liu Ji'an and Liu Yuxiang could not make business with His Majesty.

Li Xia handed this matter to Fu Wenyu to operate secretly, and purchased it as a fabricated "Li Yuanwai" identity. In order to look realistic, Li Xia also bought a house in the suburbs of Beijing and hung the door plaque of "Li Mansion". Then the surrounding ten acres of land were built into temporary warehouses for storing grain.

In order to prevent anyone from taking care of the grain, Li Xia also invited people to guard it day and night.

Most people live on farming, and earn a few money from selling crops throughout the year to subsidize their families. However, Liu Ji’an is only willing to buy one-tenth of the market price. Therefore, the people are not willing at all and resist desperately. As a result, Liu Ji'an's acquisition was not smooth.

However, the people sent by Li Xia are willing to buy at market price, and they will pay an extra one or two dollars for every one thousand catties of grain purchased. After the contrast between the two parties, everyone will naturally choose Li Xia, and even people in surrounding cities rush to contact. Li Xia, wants to release the grain as soon as possible, so as not to leave it in his hand and become a hot potato.

Li Xia adopted a carpet purchase method, one village by village, without leaving any surplus grain for Liu Ji'an. Therefore, Li Xia quickly hoarded tens of thousands of catties of grain, but Liu Ji'an did not make any progress.

The situation in the disaster area is urgent. If the victims cannot be rescued in time, they will flee across the country, and will cause robbery, theft and even riots due to starvation. Therefore, when your Majesty handed over the purchase of food for disaster relief to Liu Yuxiang, it was limited. Time.

Considering that it takes time to purchase food for disaster relief, the disaster situation does not wait for people. One more day will cause more people to lose their lives. Therefore, your Majesty divides the purchase of food for disaster relief in the capital and surrounding areas into multiple batches, one batch every seven days, one batch of ten. Ten thousand catties of grain and grass will be transported by the army to the disaster area first, so as to stabilize the emotions of the victims.

But in a blink of an eye, five days have passed since the seven-day period, and the Liu Mansion had only purchased less than 50,000 catties of grain, which was half the difference between the 100,000 catties of grain and grass that His Majesty wanted.

This can’t make a difference, but it’s head-off, so everyone in the Liu Mansion is anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Where is the food, what do you dog minions do?" Liu Ji'an was anxiously fidgeting in the house, and had to get people to lose their temper.

The boy kneeling on the ground was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, and he stammered and explained: "Master, it's not that we are disadvantaged, but when the little ones go, the villagers in the village have no food to sell. ."

"How could it not be. Without them, they all drink Northwestern Wind?"

Liu Ji'an grabbed the teacup on the small table and smashed it at the kneeling downer. The ceramic teacup suddenly fell apart, and the fragments pierced the forehead of the young man, and Liu Ji'an ignored it.

"Master, the little words are true, and there is no deception. The small and medium-sized villagers' homes have been cleaned up, and there is no food at all."

"Xiu wants to talk nonsense. If you don't collect 100,000 catties of grain to pay for it by tomorrow, Lao Tzu will kill you and let Lao Tzu get out."

The young man hurriedly backed out when he heard the words, and just then Liu Ji'an's prostitute Liu Yuxiang ran in.

"Father, have you thought of a way? What can I do with this poor 50,000 catties of grain?"

"It's all errands that your kid takes care of. Take care of whether your consort is lacking you to eat or drink, and you have to be idle and have nothing to do." Liu Ji'an cursed angrily.

Liu Yuxiang was so insulted by his father, he turned back: "Father, you are ashamed to blame me. If it weren't for your idea of ​​the disaster relief fund, we would buy grain and grass at the market price, let alone 100,000 catties, even 200,000 catties would be enough. Done."

"You, you, you are an unfilial son, how did I raise a dog like you?" Liu Ji'an was already in anger, and now his son blamed the responsibility on his head, he was so angry that he covered his chest, and he was almost relieved. Angry.

"Father, when we are not angering each other, we have to think of a solution quickly, otherwise this is a serious crime, and none of us will survive."

When Liu Ji'an heard this, he felt a chill on his neck. He hurriedly said, "Quickly, ask someone to call your brother-in-law over. He has the most spooky ideas."

"Okay, I'm going now..."

Just as Liu Yuxiang said this, Liang Zouqi entered in a hurry.

"My father-in-law, I have found out about the food and grass, and who is behind it."

"who is it?"

"On the outskirts of the city of Lei Mansion, the old man of Lei Mansion, Mr. Lei, robbed us and hoarded all the grain and grass at the market price.

The capital is not big, and the big families have basically heard of it, but Li Yuanwai in the outskirts of the city is an unheard figure, but Liu Ji'an has no intention of knowing his identity at the moment, and hurriedly said: "What does he hoard food for? Eat a bear? The heart leopard dare to fight against the Liu family?"

"My father-in-law, the Li family has only one purpose for hoarding food. It monopolizes the source of food and grass in advance. If the Liu family wants to make a business, they can only buy from them at a high price and make a difference."

"what?"

"What is the origin of this Li Mansion, even the Liu family dared to make money?"

Liang Zouqi replied: "I have looked for someone to investigate. No one knows the situation in Le Mansion. The people near Le Mansion said that this mansion was originally empty, but not long ago, people suddenly moved in. And dozens of acres of land have all been bought and built into a warehouse for storing grain. It seems that a good idea has been made long ago."

"We can't be slaughtered in this way. We send people to grab the grain and grass directly. We have people in the Liu Mansion," Liu Yuxiang said.

"No, I have already sent someone to try it out. Their grain warehouse is guarded all day long, and they are all masters. We can't do it hard at all."

"Then we can only buy from the Li Mansion. If their lion speaks loudly, our Liu family has a big family business and it is not enough to fill this bottomless pit." Liu Yuxiang was distressed, and regretted the errand he had undertaken. It's green.

However, Liu Ji'an on the side snorted coldly and said, "Don't think about it, it's just a dream for this surnamed Li to swallow our Liu family, Xiang'er, now you go into the palace to meet your Majesty and tell the truth."

"What do you mean? This is something to lose your head."

Liu Yuxiang didn't understand what his father was talking about, but Liang Zouqi, who was on the side, already knew it. He gave Liu Ji'an a thumbs up and praised, "My father-in-law is clever."

"Brother, I will write a letter to you in a moment. When you meet your Majesty, just say it."

After speaking, Liang Zouqi immediately wrote down the content. Liu Yuxiang immediately understood after reading it, and said:

"Gaoming, really wise. When this surnamed Li hoarded a large amount of food to make the country difficult to make money when he was collecting food for disaster relief in the country, this is an unforgivable sin. Even if he has a hundred heads, it is not enough to cut."
