Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper - Chapter 84

After the opening of Nanbeihang, the supply of goods was in short supply, especially the supply of medium and high-grade goods.

In fact, Weicheng can increase the supply of middle and high-grade goods and earn more. But this would also reduce the value of the commodity, and he would not do that.

At the beginning, the first-class source of goods was placed in Nanbeihang because Nanbeihang had just opened and was not well-known.

Now, it has caused many people to want to obtain high-quality goods through him.

If it weren’t for his status as an official and businessman, many disasters would have happened.

In fact, he can withdraw.

The workshop was built in Nanshan County. He will not remove the original supply of goods from the North-South Line in Nanshan County, but in the new North-South Line to be opened in Jinzhou Fucheng, Wei Cheng will not put the high-quality goods on the new North-South Line.

Recently, Uncle Zhou first, Uncle Wei later, and other rich businessmen from aristocratic families came to look for them, all wanting to obtain medium and high-grade goods from Nanbeihang.

He has to receive these people from time to time, and he is also busy, and it also disturbs him to accompany his wife to raise the baby.

Ok-

After thinking about it, Wei Cheng decided to take his daughter-in-law to Jinzhou Fucheng.

Take the waterway from Nanshan County, but most of the day, the waterway is not bumpy, and it is more convenient to take the Taifulou merchant ship.

“Have you decided to go to Fucheng? Are you going alone without your daughter-in-law?”

Wei Lei got the news and came to inquire.

“How is that possible!” Wei Cheng said, “We must bring Yuan Yuan with us.”

“I remember that your daughter-in-law is only about two months pregnant. Usually, it’s not three months before the pregnancy is stable. Are you afraid of affecting it if you take her to Fucheng?”

“Leizi, if it affects Yuan Yuan a little bit, do you think I will take Yuan Yuan to Fucheng!” Wei Cheng said, “I asked the doctor about it. If you take the waterway, it will not affect the journey for half a day, let alone my family Yuan Yuan is not Delicate woman.”

Wei Lei asked: “Do you need me to follow?”

Wei Cheng said: “You will go there after you get married, this time I will bring the two brothers Wei Jin to help.”

Both Wei Jin and Wei Shi learned a lot from Wei Cheng’s side, and the two brothers were in charge of the workshop, bringing someone to help with things.

“By the way, Wei Hu is your **** and you must take him there. Who is responsible for the safety of the big workshop?”

“Isn’t that guy Wei Hu training his subordinates when he has nothing to do?” Wei Cheng smiled, “He also took in a few apprentices. Wei Hu is a good guy, as long as they are here.”

“In the future, if the workshops that make products want to increase their production, they will mainly focus on Nanshan County. This is close to Fucheng, and it is not a center of power and wealth, so there is no need to worry about the production of products being inquired by interested people.”

Wei Cheng and Wei Lei were talking, and not long after, the housekeeper, Uncle Mao, came to report with a greeting card.

“Master, greetings from the Lin family and the Min family.”

Wei Cheng took a look at the post, the corners of his lips curled slightly.

It came just in time!

Wei Lei said unexpectedly: “Didn’t you reject the Lin family and the Min family? Why did they send greeting cards to your door?”

Wei Cheng was curious about the dates on the post, “Uncle Mao, is there anything interesting going on between the Lin family and the Min family recently?”

Uncle Mao smiled and said, “My lord, I really can’t hide the matter from you. You asked me to find someone to pay attention to the power of the aristocratic family in Nanshan County. According to reports from the people below, the Lin family and the Min family intend to marry.”

I see!

“I see, I’ve accepted the invitation, you go and tell the other party, see you at noon tomorrow.”

“yes.”

After Uncle Mao retired, Wei Lei was even more puzzled, “Chengzi, didn’t you say that those aristocratic families would not exchange their resources for high-quality goods? You promised to see the Lin family and the Min family. Are the two families willing to exchange their resources?” exchange?”

“No, the resources in the hands of the two aristocratic families are the lifeblood of their families. How can they be easily handed over to exchange and cooperate with Nanbeixing, but the other party will not sell us some benefits at all. Moreover, I will agree to meet with the two families. There are considerations.”

Wei Cheng said to Wei Lei: “Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you and I will go to see the two families.”

Wei Lei: “……”

Only after seeing the Lin family and the Min family can you know what kind of tricks your friends are selling.

after-

Wei Lei originally thought that the negotiation between his friend and the Lin family and the Min family would be very complicated, but he did not expect to finish the negotiation in less than half an hour.

When it comes to cooperation, the two companies do not need to provide resources, but if they need to order products for the north-south trip, they cannot refuse.

Commodities purchased in the two hands, such as custom-made porcelain, tea and rice… can not be refused for any reason. commodity.

These are all precautions.

In addition, the Lin family has certain contacts in Jinzhou Prefecture, and the Lin family will also provide help in Jinzhou Prefecture.

Wei Cheng promised to provide a batch of quantitative supplies to the two companies.

The two agreed.

Wei Lei was very puzzled by Wei Cheng’s compromise. After all, with the status of a friend, an official and a businessman, no one in Nanshan County would dare to offend easily.

“This is called checks and balances!”

Wei Cheng explained, “Several big families have a certain background in Nanshan County, and it is their territory. If we have been developing power in Nanshan County, we don’t need to check and balance. But we will develop in Jinzhou in the future, and Nanshan County may not be able to control everything. Cooperate with the Lin family and the Min family, and with the relationship between the Lin family and the Min family, other forces in Nanshan County will not take advantage of our absence to seek trouble.”

“I don’t care about them making trouble behind the scenes. It’s just that giving the Lin family and the Min family a little sweetness can attract other forces. This deal is a good deal.”

Wei Lei: “Why don’t you choose the Cao family and the Cui family?”

Speaking of the Cao family and the Cui family, let’s not mention the character of the two families, Xiao Liu’s report after the banquet of the chamber of commerce……

Wei Cheng’s eyes sank, and he said coldly: “There are Lin family and Min family, but what’s the matter with Cui family and Cao family!”

Wei Lei: It seems that the Cao family and the Cui family did something to annoy his friends.

Wei Cheng threw the contract between the Min family and the Lin family to his friend, “I leave it to you.” He waved his hand and went back happily.

The major issues in the county seat have been resolved, and I finally don’t have to worry about this side, so I don’t have to worry about going to Fucheng.

Wei Lei looked at the contract in his hand: “…”

He had to be busy again, he finally had time to spend with Nian Luo, and then he had less time to spend with others.

Wei Lei didn’t complain, it’s all because of his friends that he can achieve his current success.

He wondered if he should learn from Cheng Zi and train a few right-hand men, and then become a hands-off shopkeeper!

People who can do things in the workshop have a trustworthy character.

It can indeed be considered!

After a few days.

Wei Cheng took his daughter-in-law, housekeeper Aunt Mao Shumao and Xiao Liu, two brothers Wei Hu and Wei Jin to Jinzhou Fucheng.

They left Nanshan County. Those who knew knew it, and those who didn’t knew it didn’t know at all.

Uncle Wei and Uncle Zhou didn’t know the slightest bit, they both wanted to let their father go out to find Wei Cheng, and use the coercion of their elders to make Wei Cheng compromise.

Wei’s house, Mr. Wei directly called someone to come to Wei’s house.

Uncle Zhou’s house, Mr. Zhou went to find Zhou’s father and Zhou’s mother, and ordered the two to find their son-in-law.

The butler of Wei’s residence came to invite him, and the door was shut down!

Father Zhou relied on the old man to sell the old man to find Father Zhou. Father Zhou agreed to talk to his son-in-law out of filial piety, but there was no guarantee that it would be successful. Father Zhou still wanted to go in person, and Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were immediately embarrassed.

After the three brothers of the Zhou family returned home, Zhou’s father and Zhou mother didn’t have to worry about it. Mr. Zhou’s complexion was not good, just because he got the news——

Zhou Yong said in a deep voice: “Grandpa, you don’t need to go, my brother-in-law and Yuan Yuan have left Nanshan County for Jinzhou Prefecture. From my brother-in-law’s tone, he intends to settle in Jinzhou Prefecture.”

Meaning, the return date is uncertain!

I got the news that the two old men—

Mr. Wei: “…”

Mr. Zhou: “…”

The two uncles: “……”

His face can’t be any darker, and he missed the opportunity in vain.

—

Jinzhou Fucheng.

Get off the boat.

The steward of Jinzhou Taifu Building has arranged for someone to wait.

Sitting in the carriage, Wei Cheng and his party left the pier.

On the carriage, Zhou Yuan asked: “Husband, where are we going now? Are we going to the inn?”

Seeing the tiredness on the man’s face, Wei Cheng hugged him and rested in his arms, and said softly, “No, go to where we live.”

“place to live?”

“That’s right.” Wei Cheng explained, “I asked the manager of Jinzhou Taifu Building to help buy a mansion. Let’s go back to the mansion to rest.”

Zhou Yuan felt relieved when he heard that he had his own mansion, that there was a place where he could stay without living in an inn.

“Rest first, and wake you up when we arrive.”

“it is good.”

After watching the daughter-in-law in his arms fall asleep, Wei Cheng picked up the blanket that he brought with him and covered her, and the carriage drove smoothly into the inner city, and within half an hour, the carriage stopped at a mansion in the southern city.

The mansion that Wei Cheng bought was usually cleaned regularly by the steward of Jinzhou Taifu Building. They came today, and before they came, the mansion had been cleaned in advance, and the mansion was clean and tidy.

Not only that, the furniture, quilts and daily necessities in the mansion are all ready, but these are all arranged by Wei Cheng in advance, including the renovation of some places in the mansion.

“Boss Wei, if you have no other orders, I will leave first.” The steward said.

“Wei thanked the steward here.” Wei Cheng said, “If the steward is busy, do it first.”

The steward left first, and before he left, he took away the servants who had arranged to clean the mansion, leaving only two clever servants waiting for orders.

There are two servants, so it is convenient for Wei Cheng to walk and do things in Fucheng.

Wei Cheng said to Zhou Yuan: “Yuan Yuan, do you want to rest first or visit our mansion?”

Zhou Yuan rested on the carriage for a while, and now he will come to the new mansion. He is curious about everything and doesn’t feel tired, and his eyes reveal joy: “Husband, let’s go visit first.”

Wei Cheng smiled dotingly, and took his daughter-in-law to visit.

He had seen the whole picture of the mansion, and he knew the mansion well, but it was his first time here, and the servants arranged by the manager of Tai Fu Building would lead the way.

Butler Mao and Wei Hu both wanted to be familiar with the mansion, so they visited it together.

The new mansion is very large, divided into front yard and back yard, main yard, side yard, and servants’ quarters.

After visiting the front yard and the main yard, go to the backyard. The backyard is a large garden with pavilions, winding corridors, lotus ponds under the water pavilions, and many flower trees, precious flower plants, and many fruit trees transplanted in the backyard. backyard.

Zhou Yuan was amazed that the mansion was so big, it must have earned a lot of money.

Wei Cheng laughed and said: “Yuan Yuan, you don’t know how much money our family has! Our family can afford a mansion.”

Jinzhou Jinnan City belongs to the rich and powerful. Since the price is high, he did not directly say that it cost tens of thousands of taels. This price also covers the expensive furniture and decorations of the mansion.

They also rebuilt their yard and flower hall, and also changed two backyards, one is a water pavilion with a lotus pond for enjoying the cool in summer, and the other is a water pavilion for enjoying the scenery and converted it into a warm pavilion for enjoying the scenery in winter.

Zhou Yuan glanced helplessly at his husband: “I didn’t mean that, I seemed to be stingy when I said it, I was just surprised.”

“Yes, my husband is very generous. I was wrong.” Wei Cheng said, “This mansion will be our new home from now on. Is husband satisfied?”

“New home?!”

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, “Husband, will we live in Jinzhou in the future? Won’t we go back to Nanshan County?”

“Yes.” Wei Cheng said, “We will settle down in Jinzhou in the future, and occasionally go back to Nanshan County.”

Zhou Yuan was stunned when he heard such a big event.

Seeing his wife’s stunned expression, Wei Cheng thought he didn’t like it. He forgot that his wife was pregnant before he didn’t say in advance. However, if his wife didn’t like him, he could go back to live in Nanshan County. For Wei Cheng, His wife can live wherever she is satisfied.

“Yuanyuan, don’t you like it? If you don’t like it, we will live in Nanshan County all the time. When the business of the Jinzhou store stabilizes, we will find someone to take care of it.”

Zhou Yuan came back to his senses and said softly, “I don’t dislike it. On the contrary, I like the new home very much. It’s just that you didn’t tell me in advance, so I can’t react right away.”

Zhou Yuan leaned in Wei Cheng’s arms and looked towards the garden. With such a beautiful view, he could walk around the backyard without getting bored. How could he not like it.

Moreover, with a husband around, he will get used to it.

Wei Cheng put his arms around him, lowered his head, and asked with a gentle expression: “Let’s go to rest first, and have dinner after waking up?”

“it is good!”

After Zhou Yuan fell asleep, Wei Cheng got up lightly, walked out of the bedroom, ordered Xiao Liu to wait outside the door, and then went to the front hall to arrange matters.

Butler Mao and the others are already waiting.

Wei Cheng lived in the main seat and ordered, “Uncle Mao will continue to manage the house, and Aunt Mao will manage the servants. The servants in the mansion will be selected and handed over to Uncle Mao and Aunt Mao. You will go to the tooth shop tomorrow to select a group of suitable servants.” Then he turned his head. He said to Wei Hu: “Tomorrow, you will also go to the dental shop with Uncle Mao and choose a group of guards to come back.”

The three said in unison: “Yes!”

“As for Wei Jin and Wei Shi, follow me out tomorrow.” Wei Cheng said, “That’s all, you first choose a place to live and familiarize yourself with the new mansion, and you can do the rest.”

Uncle Mao and the others retreated to work, leaving Wei Huxing hurriedly said: “Master, can I go out for a stroll?” He came here because he was curious about Jinzhou City. Jinzhou City should have a lot of good wine and food.

Wei Cheng still doesn’t know what this **** thinks, let him go!

the next day.

Wei Cheng took his daughter-in-law out, Xiao Liu and Wei Jin followed, leaving Wei Shi to watch the house alone, Wei Shi also wanted to go, but someone had to watch the house.

Wei Shi said to his brother: “Remember to buy me some daily necessities.”

The servants raised by Wei Cheng follow Wei Cheng’s temperament, lively when they should be lively, and do things rigorously when they should be done.

Jinzhou Fucheng is twice as large as Nanshan County, and rich and powerful merchants gather here.

The main street of Fucheng is full of shops, crowded with people, and it is very lively.

Everything Zhou Yuan saw was novel, and Wei Chenghu was by his side, allowing him to wander around.

After walking around, Wei Jin and Xiao Liu were holding a lot of things in their hands, some of which Wei Jin had to move and parked in a carriage.

Near noon, a group of people went to Taifulou for lunch.

The Taifu Building in Fucheng is bigger and more luxurious than Nanshan County.

Wei Cheng asked for a private room without revealing his identity.

The clerk handed over a menu and said respectfully: “Several distinguished guests, please order something. This is the menu. All the dishes in our restaurant are on the menu.”

Wei Cheng took the menu, raised his eyebrows, asked the waiter to go down, and called him after ordering food. After the waiter went down, Zhou Yuan smiled and said, “Master Yun really uses all the menus in Nanshan County for the city.”

“Let’s see what to eat first!”

Wei Cheng opened the menu and placed it between the two of them. Looking at the dishes on the menu, Wei Cheng thought that the dishes in Jinzhou Taifu Building would have many local characteristics, but he didn’t expect to see familiar dishes.

“Stewed Fish Maw, Mushroom Pot, Seafood Pot, Painted Seafood…”

Zhou Yuan chuckled.

Wei Cheng looked through it with a smile, “This special eight-treasure duck, plain soup, lotus seed soup…it’s pretty good.”

Zhou Yuan said: “Then click on the special features.”

After eating a meal, it cost more than ten taels, secretly smacking my tongue.

There are only four of them.

I have a new understanding of the prices in Fucheng.

After a few days of rest.

Wei Cheng just started to get busy.

However, no matter how busy he was, he would go back to eat lunch with his wife at noon every day, and return to the mansion half an hour before dinner in the afternoon.
