Chapter 215: Thinking About Money and Thinking About Panic

Liao Liao A few stars hung in the sky, emitting a faint light. These few days have been rare good weather since the beginning of winter. In the camp of Niulan Mountain, at this time, except for the wind lanterns above the sentry tower, It was also plunged into darkness, and the entire camp was silent, which made the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers particularly clear.

The honored guests invited by Gao Yuan had already fallen into a deep sleep at this moment. During the feast at night, these people were toasted in turn by Sun Xiao and his group of soldiers. After several rounds, they were already drunk unconscious, and even Zheng Jun No exception, at this time they were placed in a guest room specially prepared for these people and fell asleep soundly.

But in Gaoyuan's residence, the lights are still on. In the room, the white charcoal fire is burning vigorously. There is a low table next to the fire. On the table, there are a few plates of fried wild vegetables that are green and green, and the copper pot is warm. The aroma of fine wine overflowed, Gao Yuan and Wu Kai sat cross-legged on two felt blankets, having a drink.

The two of them drank a lot of wine in the evening, but the soldiers did not have the guts to pour them down. At this time, although the faces of the two were flushed and drunk, their eyes were still extremely bright.

The chopsticks tapped the porcelain plate lightly, Wu Kai said with a smile; "These things are still easy to eat, the big fish and meat in the daytime, you will get tired of it at first glance, and you can't eat it anyway, I didn't expect you to have such secrets." goods."

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Old Wu, everyone has their own opinions. For example, if you give this to the thousands of soldiers outside, it's no wonder that you don't scold your ancestors for eighteen generations behind your back. Usually, we eat and drink lightly. , Today is the Chinese New Year, so naturally there will be a lot of fish and meat. I have heard a saying, but this scene reflects your mood at this time!"

"What?" Wu Kai asked.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road." Gao Yuan put down his chopsticks, reached out to lift the wine pot, and filled it for Wu Kaiman.

"How can it be so serious?" Wu Kai smiled and said, "I, Fufeng, are not as miserable as you said."

"What I'm talking about is just a phenomenon, like your old Wu. When you get tired of eating big fish and meat, you can only serve with clear vegetables and small stir-fries. Let alone this world. In my big camp alone, I don't know how many people look forward to eating every day." Big fish and big meat!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Wu Kai laughed out loud. "Your army is probably the best-paid army in the world, right? When did they lose their meat?"

"It's barely sustainable now. But after a long time, it will be a bit bad!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "The military expenditure of these thousands of people is a huge sum, and the cost of raising such an army is really scary. I understand now. The majestic Liaoxi prefect Mr. Zhang has only a few thousand standing troops under his command. Our country is as big as Dayan, and the standing army is less than 100,000. It is really unaffordable. I used to think too simply. .”

"So you brought the gentry from the two counties together to do business,

Make money from it? "Wu Kai said.

"Increasing income and reducing expenditure, the most important thing is to increase income. We have to find a way to make money! In the army, some money cannot be saved. Although Fuhai Trading has been established, in a short period of time, I am afraid that there will only be investment and no money. Gao Yuan sighed, "As soon as I open my eyes now, I think about how much money I will spend today. How much money I made today, no matter how I calculate it, I can't make ends meet!"

Wu Kairu picked up a chopstick of wild vegetables and put them in his mouth, chewing carefully, looking at Gao Yuan while chewing, "Why did I suddenly realize that these dishes of wild vegetables don't seem to be easy to digest?"

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Those who know me, Old Wu Ye, Old Wu, can you leak some more to me from between your fingers?"

"You want to increase your shares?" Wu Kai put down his chopsticks, took a sip of his wine, and looked at Gao Yuan thoughtfully.

Gao Yuan smiled without saying a word, turned his head, picked up the tongs, and threw a few pieces of white charcoal into the fire. Staring at the faint green light emerging, "It's not easy to speak!"

"It's not easy to open your mouth! You've already said it!" Wu Kai laughed and said, "Twenty percent, that's the most. You also know that Zhang Shouyue took up 20%, and Lu Hong originally shared half with you." Cheng, now I will increase it to 20% for you, and the outside shares already have 45% of the shares. I have to prepare for the development of the whole Dayan in the future, and prepare some for some big shots in Jicheng. I am running out of many. "

"Old Wu, you are refreshing, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, maybe in the future, your wine will be promoted to Quan Dayan, and you will no longer need to pay shares to some big shots."

"What can you do?" Wu Kai was very interested.

"It's not that I can do it, because in a few years, I may arrive in Jicheng." Gao Yuan punched the table hard, causing the bowls and plates to jump up and down.

Wu Kai was taken aback, "Gao Yuan, I value you, and I am willing to invest in you because I value your stability and talent. You can't be too aggressive. How old are you? If you are less than twenty, how powerful are you?" Can you fight against those who sit on a large territory and hold national power? You don't want to kill yourself."

Gao Yuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and put the glass heavily on the table, "Old Wu, Jing'er said before leaving, when her hair reaches her waist, she wants me to marry her, how can I let her wait like this For a long time, youth is fleeting, youth is hard to come back, I will not let her wait for a long time. But don't worry, I still have a sense of proportion."

Wu Kai shook his head, "I'm worried about you!"

Gao Yuan nodded, "I'll do it, you see, let's see and talk! I won't let you down, and I won't let your money go to waste. Old Wu, I was only going to ask you for 10% of the shares. You are generous and gave me 20%, then I have to give you something in return."

"The reward is not in a hurry. What I value is your future. If that old guy Lu Hong dies, I will give him half of it." Wu Kai said with a smile: "Don't bully the old, especially the ones like you." Promising young guy, I am much better at doing business than being an official, and I have always been very accurate in judging people."

"I don't want the chance to get rich?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile: "I can tell you something that no one will produce now. If you really produce it, it will definitely be the only one, there is no semicolon! "

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Wu Kai's eyes slowly widened, "Boy, don't lie to me, how can there be such a thing?"

"Of course there are." Gao Yuan said slowly.

"What, what?" Across the table, Wu Kai grasped Gao Yuan's hand in a groggy manner, shaking it non-stop, and didn't even notice that his sleeve was hanging down into the vegetable soup on the table.

"Old Wu, you are making money every day now, and you will never run out of money in your next life, so you don't need to be so embarrassing?" Gao Yuan slowly withdrew his hand and teased.

"Boy, don't tempt me. If there is such a thing, what does it mean? It means a bigger profit than selling wine, and you don't have to pay too much, because no one is competing with you, right?" Wu Kai said anxiously.

He was in a hurry, but Gao Yuan was not in a hurry, looked at Wu Kai, smiled and said: "Old Wu, I went to your house a few days ago, and you called the concubine you just took over to toast me. It smells so good!"

Wu Kai looked at Gao Yuan in astonishment, and said after a long while: "Boy, what do you want to do? You want a little star, you have to. Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes. If you want it, just take it. Hey, no, you are not like this." If you are a good woman, you will not let He Lanyan go, He Lanyan is much stronger than my little Xingzi."

Gao Yuan didn't expect Wu Kai to think of this, and he was stunned for a while, then he realized that in this era, concubines can really be given away at will. He smiled wryly: "My old Wu, I didn't mean your concubine, I mean the fragrance of your little concubine."

"Can it not be fragrant? It takes several hours to make the sachet every day. I don't know how much it cost me to get the red sandalwood and ambergris in the house. The grape shelf in the backyard is about to collapse." Wu Kai shook his head. .

"I know a method that allows you to produce various scented liquids in large quantities. In the future, your little concubine won't need to waste so much time. If you want to make yourself fragrant, just put two drops on your body." Gao Yuan Smiling authentically. "I call him Perfume."

Wu Kai was stunned for a while, then said disappointedly: "So it's something for women, how much can it be sold for, and how much can it earn?"

"Of course it won't sell too much, because this thing is supposed to be sold so that ordinary people can't afford it. Your best wine, ordinary people can save a little, bite their teeth, and you can still buy two or three catties as a reward during the Chinese New Year." Take your own, but this stuff, ordinary people, even after a year of hard work, can’t afford it without eating or drinking.” Gao Yuan smiled and said: “This is originally prepared for women from rich families. Old Wu Ah, the sales are low, but it can’t stand to be expensive! How many nobles are there in Dayan, how many maids are there in these noble families, and those big businessmen’s families who are not nobles? Come on, it will bring no less profit than your wine."

"Really?" Wu Kai asked in surprise.

"Of course." Gao Yuan said with confidence.

"Then how much does it cost to make this thing? I'm afraid it's not cheap, it needs something as precious as ambergris as a raw material?" Wu Kai asked.

"Wrong, you have plenty of raw materials for this perfume at home!" Gao Yuan said.

"I have a lot of them in my family, what is that, why don't I know?"

"If you know, then it's not my turn to remind you!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, "Old Wu, what do you have the most in your family?"

"Of course it's wine!" Wu Kai opened his mouth, and suddenly froze, "Wine, could it be wine!"

"It's wine, but it's not the wine you have at home. You have to continue to refine it!" Gao Yuan said, "Take out the strongest wine in your house, and after purification, it can be used as a raw material for this perfume."

"Why didn't you say it before?" Wu Kai's eyes turned red, "If you had said it earlier, we would have figured it out."

"Old Wu, don't worry, I really didn't think of this thing before, it was because I was thinking about money, I suddenly remembered this thing, and I only know a general method, specifically, you You have to find out yourself."

"No problem, no problem, as long as I have a rough idea, I can find the best way." Wu Kai repeated authentically.
