Vol 2 Chapter 1007: Oil and salt won't enter (three shifts)

Wang Xiaoxi is a capable person.
At first, the family was too poor to eat, and was hungry all day long.
When everyone knows that he is shoveling food in the ground, he is the first group of farmers from Gyeonggi township to go to Sinmin County to seek a living.
The first job is to work in a coal factory, selling coal stoves and briquettes in all towns and villages, from being a man to being a manager.
It was because of him that Wang Xuecheng was able to leave his hometown and enter the Shanhe Academy.
Wang Xiaoxi saved money, bought a house, married a wife, and settled down.
He is a restless man.
He took out the money he had saved over the years, and took a few jobs in the coal plant, and everyone pooled the money to open a coal plant.
Over the years, more and more people burn coal.
Their coal plant is not large in scale, and relying on traveling from villages to towns and diligently, their business has gradually improved and they can bring them a considerable income every year.
Compared with the income of the old boss, it is still a bit higher.
After saving for a few years, he rented a shop and became a merchant. With the advantage of going to the village and the town, the business is pretty good when buying and selling all kinds of local products.
Today, walking on the street, everyone calls him Boss Wang.
He is satisfied with this title.
Days are smooth.
However, recently his quiet heart has been alive again.
I took a copy of "Big Zhou Life Show" and watched it repeatedly throughout the day. Whenever I had time, I ran Sanhe Express and didn't do anything. I listened to those people chatting about the Western Regions and commercial products.
Finally one day, he patted his thigh and said to the people around him, "I'm going to Xiliang."
"What? Xiliang?"
Wang Xiaoxi's wife was terrified.
"Master, you can't go."
His daughter-in-law cried and shouted, stopping Wang Xiaoxi and forbidden him to go out. All kinds of reasons, all kinds of dangers, all that should be said, but can't change Wang Xiaoxi's decision.
Seeing Wang Xiaoxi's determination, his wife stood up and wiped tears, and ran out to ask her in-laws for help.
Wang Xiaoxi’s family has a large population. When he heard that he was going to Xiliang, the whole family, old and young, elder sisters and sisters, elder brothers and brothers, nephews and nieces, parents and relatives came together to discourage him from going to Xiliang.
"The business in coal factories and shops has always been good. Isn't it a good idea to live a solid life? Why have to toss."
"We are a small family, it's not easy to do a little business to save some family business. You have to go to Xiliang to toss, if you lose your money, this family will be over."
"If you have three long and two short, what can the whole family do?"
"Your father and I are both half-sophisticated people. If you go, if your father and I have a case, what should we do."
"Live your life well, the eldest is not young, and the child will be able to marry a wife in a few years, so don't worry about it."
"Going to Xiliang is to make money, but it also depends on whether you have a life to make this money. Those who go to Xiliang to do business, who are not big business houses, have big backers. Our family has nothing, no possessions, and money. I can't afford to toss you so much."
Family members talked badly but couldn't persuade the determined Wang Xiaoxi.
"I must go to Xiliang in this life. When I came to Xinmin County, you all stopped me, and what you said was so similar to today. What was the result? If I listened to you back then, I was afraid that even my daughter-in-law would marry me. Sorry."
"Back then is different from now."
"It's the same in my eyes."
"The family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and when they went out, they could still earn a bit of food. Now, the family lives in peace and stability, eating and drinking, living in a cement room, a coal factory and a shop, there is no need to toss about it! "
"Yeah, don't toss. It's not easy to save some money, but you can't get Xiliang and ruin it."
Wang Xiaoxi was unmoved.
"I earn the money by myself, and I can spend it whatever I want. And everyone has already separated, you can't control my business."
"You unfilial son, are you mad at me?"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Father Wang offered the banner of filial piety.
But still unable to stop Wang Xiaoxi.
He was determined to take a trip, just as he was determined to leave home and run alone.
Everyone gave up, and the family rushed away angrily.
Wang Xiaoxi's wife was so angry that she took her child back to her family's home, so as not to get bored.
When I left, I didn't forget to say, "You are not allowed to move the money in the shop. That is the money used to purchase goods. If you take away all the money, you can't do this business."
Most of the North and South native goods are sold in cash and cash.
Wang Xiaoxi also stiffened, "I won't move a penny in the shop."
He found a partner in the coal plant and hoped that everyone would gather money and take a trip to Xiliang.
However, others did not have his aggressiveness.
"A lot of age, keep this family business honestly, don't worry about it."
This is what the partner told him, and how similar is the advice of his family.
Wang Xiaoxi refused to admit defeat and returned to his old club to look for opportunities. Go to the Chamber of Commerce to look for opportunities.
Piecemeal, a little money was collected, but he was still far away from his goal.
On the way, he met Wang Xuecheng.
Wang Xuecheng has always remembered Wang Xiaoxi's kindness to him and his care.
Back then, when he first came to Xinmin County, if Wang Xiaoxi hadn't helped him settle down, he would have to make many detours.
Later, when he bought a house, the family was arguing about dividing the property, and it was Wang Xiaoxi who helped him settle the family.
Knowing Wang Xiaoxi’s thoughts and difficulties, Wang Xuecheng said:
I don’t have money on hand, but my friend has money. Let’s go, I will take you to see him. You tell him your thoughts. If you can move him, there will be financial problems. All resolved."
Wang Xuecheng took Wang Xiaoxi to find Yan Ci.
Among those familiar with Wang Xuecheng, Yan Ci is the richest one.
After listening to Wang Xiaoxi's plan, Yan Yan became interested.
"With money, what are you going to buy?"
Wang Xiaoxi scratched his head, "Cloth? Porcelain? Cashmere underwear? Food? Carriage..."
Yan Ci shook his head again and again, "Those big businesses want to get what you said, and you are not competitive as a small business."
"Excuse me, Mr. Yan, what should I buy? On the Western Region, I'm blind and know nothing."
"Tea!" sternly, "The food in the Western Regions is mainly meat. People eat meat for a long time, and the belly is greasy. Tea is the best thing to relieve greasy."
"Tea is expensive, I can't carry a few catties of tea with this little money."
"Who told you to buy premium tea? The rich people drink the premium tea. Those big business houses and big families have already monopolized the market. You can't afford to spend even a little money on it. In the Western Regions, there is more than money. People need to get rid of greasiness, and ordinary people also need to get rid of greasiness. You can buy ordinary tea, and the tea that the public can afford is transported to Xiliang with hard work, and there must be a market."
"Inferior tea?" Wang Xiaoxi was taken aback. In his concept, the goods transported to Xiliang after all the hardships must be the first class.
Inferior goods are not worthy to travel thousands of miles and go to another market to trade.
Yan Ci glared, "Inferior tea is also tea, and there is a market. If you agree with me, I will invest five thousand taels to help you."
Wang Xiaoxi was not dizzy by five thousand liang, "Let me think about it, I will think about it."
"Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
The three of them chatted in the room, and Sanshun came over.
Knowing that he was going to collect money to buy goods and go to Xiliang for business, he excitedly said, "Count me! I can't go to Xiliang. If I can catch a wave of heat, it would be worth it. It just so happens that my son has a way out, and boss Wang can. Follow the caravan of big merchants to Xiliang, and safety is guaranteed."
Yanci ridiculed, "Sanshun, how much are you going to spend?"
When it comes to money, Sanshun smiles, "Not much, not much, fifty taels."
Yanci laughed loudly, "I know that your money is being taken care of by your wife."
Sanshun smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law has a good way of managing the family."
Yan Ci added: "I suggest to Boss Wang to buy and wait for the tea to go to Xiliang to sell to the ordinary people. Boss Wang thinks the profit is low and is still considering it."
Wang Xiaoxi looked embarrassed.
Yan Ci continued: "Sanshun, you can ask your son, if my idea is okay. Boss Huang has a good relationship. If Xiliang needs inferior tea, maybe he knows it, so you can ask for help. ."
Three conformed, "Okay, I'll help you ask."
This question attracted Huang Qubing.
"I heard that you are going to transport tea to Xiliang, but you are still inferior to tea."
"Boss Huang, tell us, is it reliable to transport low-quality tea to Xiliang? You have a lot of knowledge, and you have done a small family order. You must know Xiliang better than us."
Hearing that Huang Qubing turned out to be the order of the previous Shaofu family, Wang Xiaoxi straightened his back and cheered up.
What Shaofu Jialing said must be a golden tongue, and every word is really golden.
Huang Qubing smiled, "Mr. Yan, you are a book writer, but you did not expect your vision to be unique. Let's not hide it from you, the people in the Western Regions are very rare in such valuable things as silk and porcelain. At the same time, we have the luck of worthless things here. In the past, they were also rare. Not to mention the inferior tea, even if it is transported a cart of tea froth, there are people rushing to get it. Why, because tea is only available in Dazhou, and nowhere else, and people in the Western Regions cannot leave Open tea. Not only tea, books, papers, any book that is out of the game, if you transport a truck to it, you will be snatched."
"So powerful. Is there nothing in the Western Regions?"
"Yes! Gold, jewels, camels, cattle, sheep, horses, carpets and seeds...Why is Xiliang used to open trade routes. Trade routes are used to communicate with each other. They are rare in the products of our Great Zhou, and we are the same. Their properties are rare."
"Boss Huang is still insightful. Boss Wang, have you made a decision?" Yan Ci asked Wang Xiaoxi with a smile.
Wang Xiaoxi nodded his head, "I listen to Mr. Yan, so I will buy inferior tea."
Huang Qubing suggested: "I also buy a little bit of mid-range tea. The Northwest Army is stationed in Xiliang, and the lieutenants must drink tea to relieve oiliness. It would be better if they could deliver a little local goods."
"What kind of native goods?"
"For example, fermented bean curd, pickles, and so on. The Northwest Army has long been tired of beef and mutton, and wants to eat hometown food. If you can transport a hundred catties of rice, the army lieutenant will treat you as a rare treasure."
