However, the conversation that followed still made Cao Liang a little disappointed.

He originally hoped that after gaining his father's approval, he could secretly allocate some of the military pay from the Knight Cavalry Battalion to support him in building as many repeating crossbows as possible.

But Cao Yan rejected him without hesitation. He couldn't touch even a penny of the Xiaoqi camp's military salary, and the family's savings were only so much. Excluding daily expenses, they definitely couldn't meet Cao Liang's needs.

It seems that you have to find a way to make money yourself.

At the same time, Cao Liang also tried to inquire about the possibility of placing Shi Bao in the Xiaoqi Camp. Cao Yan said that the Xiaoqi Camp was currently being reorganized and there were no plans to add new officers for the time being.

It seems that Shi Bao's dream of becoming an official will have to be extended indefinitely.

Cao Yan told Cao Liang to be cautious, to act within his ability, and not to act recklessly.

Cao Liang obeyed one by one, but he was full of curses in his stomach. Cao Yan only wanted to pick fruits and use the crossbow catapult to equip his knight camp, but he didn't allocate a cent, and he was reluctant to invest even a penny.

Hey, others are cheating their fathers, but when it comes to me, they turn into cheating their sons, doing shit even if they don’t have money.

However, Cao Liang refused to give up. Since his father couldn't get support from him, Cao Liang had to find a way on his own.

What is the most profitable business?

Of course it's the business of wealthy and powerful people.

Although there are more ordinary people in the world, their consumption capacity is limited. They work from sunrise to sunset, and live a self-sufficient life of men farming and women weaving. It is simply unreliable to expect to make money from them.

In Luoyang, the capital, the real main force of consumption was those high-ranking officials. If Cao Liang wanted to make money, he naturally had to make money from them.

The most successful one in this regard is Yipinju in Jingshi. This store has always been on the high-end route and built a luxury brand. Those dignitaries spent money like water, and Yipinju has already made a lot of money.

.

Cao Liang decided to go to Yipinju tomorrow to take a look and steal some business experience.

As soon as he left, the next morning, Cao Liang took Fang Bu and Afu and went straight to Yipinju.

Yipinju is located in the middle of Tongtuo Street, which is actually not too far from Gaolinghou Mansion, but Cao Liang has never been there before.

Today, Cao Liang did not ride a horse, but went there on foot. He also specially changed into a suit of brocade clothes, looking bright and bright, and he looked like a romantic nobleman.

We walked leisurely along the way, and soon we arrived at the door of Yipinju.

Yipinju is a three-story store. The decoration on the front is extremely elegant, the golden walls are splendid, and the store is magnificent. This facade alone is enough to scare away most Luoyang people.

However, this place is still bustling with people, and there are quite a lot of people coming in and out. Judging from the clothes and clothes, it is natural that they are either rich or noble.

There was no greeting lady at the door, but two burly men stood at the door. However, they looked like nodding and hunched slaves, which really did not match their stature. Only occasionally one or two people in common clothes passed by the door.

At that moment, the two strong men finally showed their true colors. Their eyes were fierce and their aura was arrogant, which made those who didn't open their eyes retreat in the face of difficulties.

There is no pretense or slap in the face. All the guests who come here are well-dressed and elegant, and there is no chance that the gatekeeper will look down on others.

Thinking about those pretentious plots that often appear in urban novels, where pigs with extraordinary status and billions of assets deliberately put on cheap clothes, and then slapped them in the face after being looked down upon, Cao Liang felt a pain in his balls.

Regardless of whether it is modern or ancient times, it is an era where people rely on their clothes and horses to rely on their saddles. If you want to pretend to be a grandson and not be stepped on by others, it is simply impossible.

I can only say that the pig's feet are just pig brains, and my IQ is just below the line.

When Cao Liang goes to the farm these days, he usually wears cloth clothes. However, when he came to Yipinju today, he changed into a suit of brocade clothes. Unless he was too idle, he would only wear cloth clothes to show off.

When the two strong men saw Cao Liang's arrival, they immediately put on flattering smiles on their faces. They were half a head taller than Cao Liang and had a bow like a shrimp. When a noble man like Cao Liang came to their door, they welcomed the God of Wealth.

Same.

Even if it was Fang Bu'afu who was wearing ordinary clothes behind Cao Liang, they did not dare to neglect him in the slightest. Although they knew that Fang Bu'afu was a servant, beating a dog depends on whether it is the owner. If it is because of neglecting the noble master,

If a servant makes the noble master unhappy, then the gain is really not worth the loss.

Cao Liangxing stepped inside. The decoration in the lobby on the first floor was more luxurious than the facade outside, and the items on display were dazzling and eye-catching.

General stores deal in a certain type of goods, such as jade shops, silk and satin shops, weapons shops, spice shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, etc., while Yipinju is more like a grocery store, selling a wide variety of goods.

Complete.

But no one will ever think of this place as a grocery store, because the most important thing about the products here is that they are expensive.

And it's not just expensive, it's completely ridiculously expensive.

However, when it comes to the quality of the products, there is nothing to challenge. Yipinju has always sold only high-quality goods, and those defective goods have no chance to be put on Yipinju's shelves.

For example, a gold hairpin usually sells for no more than one thousand yuan in an ordinary gold and silver jewelry store, but at Yipinju, it costs more than ten times. The price is as high as ten thousand yuan, which is far more than the price of the gold hairpin itself.

value.

But despite this, such gold hairpins are still hot-selling items, and there are many buyers. They are also three-liter gold hairpins, and the style of Yipinju is much more beautiful than the styles of ordinary gold and silver stores. Naturally, those rich ladies will be attracted by it.

I can't put it down.

The clerks in Yipinju are all men. It is estimated that in this era, it is not customary for women to work as sales assistants. The only place where women can show their faces is the brothel. The only business women can do is skin care business.

.

Cao Liang met the Qingyi steward of Yipinju whom he had met a few days ago. When the guy saw Cao Liang, he also nodded and bowed in compliments. He was not at all as arrogant as he was a few days ago. He even completely forgot about what he had done before.

All the unpleasant things that happened.

Anyone who comes to Yipinju is a guest. Everyone at Yipinju abides by this point. No one dares to offend the guests who come to their door. Although the steward Qingyi has a high status in Yipinju, at this time, he is just like a little waiter, enthusiastically following the customer.

Cao Liang said hello and treated him warmly.
