Chapter 31 The most profitable business in the Tang Dynasty

For five hangs, you can buy a Zijuan!

Forty-year-old pockets, you can buy eight purple adobes!

One hundred hangs, you can buy twenty!

Three hundred hangings, you can buy sixty!

One hundred thousand hang, that's...

After so long in the Tang Dynasty, although I had secretly compared the prices here with the Xi'an Farmers' Market in the 21st century! However, it was not until now that Zhang Qian finally had the most intuitive concept of the purchasing power of Kaiyuan Tongbao!

It's so intuitive that it's heartbreaking.

If in the 20th century, a lucky person who received an angel round investment would not see a contract and a string of cold numbers on the bank account. But how many of his daughters or out of school children, he would definitely cherish this opportunity and the trust of the investors. In that case, undoubtedly, his career success rate will double.

The same principle applies to Zhang Qian in the autumn of the third year of the Tang Dynasty. When he found that he was wasting a little casually, he might waste three or four purple cuckoos. He was serious about his work and was even more perfect.

When Zijuan was asleep, he rummaged through the paper library that he had downloaded specifically for writing papers. Whether it was liberal arts or science, as long as the knowledge that could be found in the mobile phone memory or the knowledge that he still had an impression in his mind, he repeatedly synthesized it. When the battery was almost out of power, he quickly took the charger to charge it. He consumed the charger's energy at night and quickly filled it up during the day...

Once a person works hard, his life will be fast.

For five or six consecutive days, Zhang Qian focused all his energy on the preparation of the imitation production of Fengyoujing. Even when he went to complete the final settlement and received the "passing" procedures, he was a little unconciliated.

Fortunately, the minor officials responsible for his settlement and receiving the "transfers" were very proud of the Guo family, and they all knew what the so-called "three-part households in the Zhang family were going to live in another family. Therefore, they were unwilling to care too much about Zhang Qian's entire process. After taking the "happy money" they should have, they let it go.

However, Zhang Qian's cheap brother Zhang Sheng said in a daze when he saw him acting and needed reminders at any time. He was very worried about his health. After the settlement procedures were completed, he specially found Guo Qiu, the housekeeper who was specially sent by the Guo family to watch the matter, and solemnly reminded: his real third child is a miserable child, and he died before he could grow up. After Zhang Qian took over his position, if he suffered any misfortune, he could not cheat and say he was suffering.

The family could not take back the ten acres of Yongye Field. Otherwise, even if they were to beat a board, Zhang Sheng would go to the yamen to beat the drums and shake the whole story of the matter! (Note 1: Field slime, that is, the right to use land, the ancient state restricts land annexation, and the countermeasures that the people came up with. The land was divided into field slime and field bones. When buying and selling fields, the field slime belongs to the new owner, and the field bones are still in the hands of the old owner.)

"Don't worry, your Sanlang is lucky. He just bought a large farmhouse by the Wei River, which is 1,300,400 acres." Guo Qiu rolled his eyes in anger, and he used burying words to slam Zhang Sheng back on the spot. "You just send the ten acres of Yongye Field back, and people think you are unlucky!"

Zhang Sheng was not angry when he heard this. He glanced at Zhang Qian, who was like a shadow puppet, shook his head and left.

Zhang Qian didn't know that he had become a short-lived ghost in the eyes of others. After the settlement procedures were completed, he stuffed the relevant documents and vouchers into his schoolbag, and he immediately focused on the specific technology and equipment for developing the traditional methods of using Mafeng Oil Essence.

So he forgot about time after doing it. It was not until the sixth day that after overturning and revising countless versions of the preliminary plan and sketch, he finally came up with the most likely solution and the most productive efficiency.

At the same time, his farm delivery procedures were all announced to be completed with Ren Cong's efforts.

This saved a lot of time. Guo Nu and Ren Cong chose a good day, and took their own capable generals to help him and Zijuan move home in a lively manner. By the way, they also prepared to stop all the artifacts and accessories for refining "spiritual medicines". In the new village, they found two houses in the core position and carefully assembled them in the house.

These days, there are neither screws nor welding. The assembly and sealing of equipment components depends entirely on hammers, tin strips and borax. Therefore, after two days and one night, everyone finally cleaned up a small workshop that looked like it was too soil to be more soiled from the perspective of the 21st century.

As the chief designer of the entire set of equipment and the developer of the entire production process, Zhang Qian certainly could not put the accessories design sketches to the craftsman and become a hand-off manager. However, he didn't have to do the work of building stoves, assembling extra-large ultra-long spiral-mouthed copper pots, and brazing gaps.

During most of the time during the installation of the equipment, he could achieve satisfactory results by just moving his mouth. Especially the assembly and welding work of the pot body, spout, and peripheral cooling water tank, the exquisiteness of the craftsmanship was even far beyond his initial understanding.

Almost every weld is as thin as a hair. Not to mention the large amount of water leakage, even gas seepage is impossible.

However, thinking about the cost of this object, Zhang Qian was not so shocked. The gourd-shaped copper pot, the spiral-winding spout in the shape of a vine and the cooling water tank installed outside the spout cost a total of 230 yuan! (Note: There are similar objects in the museum, which were specially used by the Persians in ancient times to purify spirits.)

This does not include the commissions of craftsmen. In Guo Nu's words, craftsmen have been kept by their families since childhood, and they are responsible for food and clothing. They are rewarded during festivals and festivals. What commissions are given? If anyone does this, they will start pointing at the nose and scolding the prodigal son from Chang'an City, and cursing all the way to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

"Brother Zhang, I know that you are compassionate, and the Master is even more sympathetic to the Mo family." But the fat man Ren Cong rarely knew a little, and inferred that he could not be a qualified owner from Zhang Qian's intention to pay commissions to the craftsmen of the Guo Mansion. Therefore, he found an opportunity without outsiders and reminded carefully, "But Brother Zhang, since you can't return to the Master for a while, you have to learn to follow the local customs. Otherwise, not only the rich families inside and outside Chang'an City will regard you as a thorn in the side, but those servants who have benefited you will only laugh at you as stupid and will never miss your good deeds!"

"Okay, you have gained skills in just a few days, and you even dared to teach me a lesson!" Zhang Qian was so embarrassed that he deliberately raised his face and scolded Ren Cong. "With this skill, it's better to watch the craftsmen clean the refining pots. If something goes wrong, you will bear the cost alone!"

However, even though he scolded him, he knew clearly that the little fat man's reminder was definitely out of kindness. Therefore, after recovering from being embarrassed and angry, he was very serious and asked Ren Quan, the head of the housekeeper who sent the Ren Mansion to protect the workshop, to ask for specific matters in charge of the farm.

After seeing Zhang Qian's magical method of pulling his own director Qiong back from the gate of hell, Ren Quan, was impressed by him. He was eager to help him do something so that he could make a good relationship. So, he took the initiative to act as a counselor before the workshop was officially started and taught him step by step how to be a qualified owner.

According to Ren Quan, being in charge of the countryside is actually similar to leading troops. It is impossible or necessary to know every soldier under his command. For the same reason, the owner of the countryside does not have to know every farmer and tenant in the countryside.

As a general, you only need to know the military officers, Si Cang, and a few confidant backbones under your command. By managing the military discipline, managing the money and grain through Si Cang, and managing the soldiers layer by layer through the confident backbones, such as commanding the arms of the arms, and the arms drive the palms and ten fingers.

Those who are the owner of the mansion will manage the order within the farm through the housekeeper, through the account, and through a few trusted managers, manage the farm and the tenants well. The rest is to deal with the taxes from the government outside and consider how to make the farm become increasingly prosperous.

Zhang Qian's name was because the old owner Ren thanked him for saving his life. While transferring the farm, he also transferred the housekeeper, accountants, officials, male and female servants, and all tenants to him. Among them, the housekeeper, accountants and tenants are employed, managers, and servants are slaves. Therefore, as long as Zhang Qian takes time to meet the housekeeper, accountants and officials, get to know what they look like, and say a few words of encouragement, it will be enough to deal with this year.

After the cat finished the winter, they became familiar with the top figures in the farm, and then based on their talents, they decided to stay and take appointments and remove them.

Of course, if you have extra money on hand, it would be safer for Zhang Qian to buy him an official position. He would not be able to take office immediately. At least in the future, he would not be instructed by his destiny when dealing with minor officials in the yamen. Occasionally, he would not be instructed by him. When encountering some unpleasant things, he would need to meet the county magistrate and governor, and he would not need to kneel on the ground and be the kowtower insect!

"What, can you still buy an official?" Zhang Qian was shocked when he heard it. He immediately forgot his original purpose of asking for advice and asked with wide eyes.

"Of course!" Ren Quan answered very calmly, as if he had been used to it for a long time. "If it weren't for this, why would Guo Erlangjun's father wear the official robe of the fourth-rank governor while taking both black and white? That is, he has followed the old owner since he was a child and doesn't need to use these. Otherwise, if he has money, he will go to Chang'an City to buy a minister! Although it may not be the turn to make up for the vacancies in his life, at least I can make my father who went early feel face underground!"

"Is it very expensive? Where do you usually buy it?" Zhang Qian was so moved that he was not to lose his appetite for officials, but to not kneel down and kowtow when he met officials in the future.

"The starting price is 30,000 yuan, which is 300 yuan, which cannot be considered expensive or cheap. There are three people who handle it, namely the queen's brother General Wei, Princess Anle, and Jieyu Shangguan Wan'er! The real major shareholder should be the queen himself." Ren Quan smiled and shook his head slightly, "But three hundred yuan, you can only buy a county magistrate, or a monk or a Taoist priest. If it doubles, you can buy a county magistrate. Then the ship rises according to the level. If the young man wants to buy a governor, it will be about 3,000 yuan. If he wants to buy a prime minister, it will be expensive. According to this year's market, he can't get it without 80,000 yuan!" (Note: The above is historical fact)

"Even the prime minister can buy it!" Zhang Qian was so surprised that his chin was almost falling off, and he blurted out his questioning.

This is definitely not the Tang Dynasty he learned in history books, nor is it the Tang Dynasty he saw in TV series.

The Tang Dynasty in his memory was rich in the people, the country was rich, the politics was clear, the force was strong, and the culture was prosperous. Even though there might have been some decline in the era of Zhongzong, it should not have declined to such a level!

Even the position of prime minister can be bought. This is not the Tang Dynasty. Even the Qing Dynasty may not have done so ridiculously!

"Of course I can buy it, otherwise the Queen's family is the most profitable one in the world?!" He didn't understand what Zhang Qian was surprised. Ren Quan shook his head and replied with envy, "Although Guo Erlangjun's father is the famous Guo Bancheng. However, the Guo family's business is not enough compared to the Queen's family! The Guo family's investment is only 100,000 yuan a year. The Queen will throw out two prime minister positions and can surpass his family's profits and does not require any capital!" The third update, as promised, I hope you like it. Please vote, collect, and promote it on your behalf. I have talked with the editor today and am ready to sign the contract. So, I will exchange the pen name for myself next week. Good night everyone.
