Chapter 67 Sick financial management

When Qian Qianyi hurried across the courtyard and walked towards the dormitory, he suddenly thought, could Liu Rushi see what he did just now in the room?So, being cautious, I stepped lightly, and first took a peek through the curtain.He found that Liu Rushi was still lying on the bed, but moved a book case to the head of the bed. The case was full of thick volumes of account books. He seemed unaware of what had just happened outside the house.Qian Qianyi was relieved, and was about to open the curtain and walk in, when he heard a "snap", the account book was closed, and Liu Rushi cursed bitterly:

"They're all idiots! None of them are worthy!" Qian Qianyi was taken aback and stopped instinctively.In his eagerness, he couldn't figure out who he was talking about, so he hesitated for a while, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in, asking cautiously: "Oh, what's the matter with you, who are you angry with? Oh, and you brought all these broken account books! You are not in good health, you should take a good rest, what are you doing with these troubles?" He said Shaking his head reproachfully, he glanced at the other person's expression.

"Hmph, don't care, don't care? I'm getting mad!" Liu Rushi said angrily with her eyes wide open. "Hey, what's going on?" "What's going on! The four people who were sent out last time all came back, and they didn't dare to come to see me. After checking the account today, I found out that they all canceled their capital! Each of them went out with a hundred taels of silver. After a few months, only three or fifty taels were left, and two of them still said they would stay in the business and never settle the bill. I’m afraid even this amount is not enough! You say you’re mad at people, but you’re not mad at them! When they left, they swear and swear well, but now it doesn’t count if I break my silver, and even my face is completely lost!”

Qian Qianyi stroked his beard slowly.When he found out that Liu Rushi's anger was not aimed at him, he was relieved.He knew that since Liu Rushi took over the financial power of the family, she was eager to make a difference. A few months ago, she personally selected four family members who she thought were capable and reliable, and each brought a pair of silver to go to Shandong, Zhejiang, and Fujian to do business. Making a lot of big bets, firstly, to fill the shortfall in the family, and secondly, to show that she is good at financial management.Unexpectedly, she returned at a loss, no wonder she was anxious and angry.However, Qian Qianyi didn't have the heart to take care of this kind of thing at the moment, because the private meeting with Aunt Pan tonight started to stir his thoughts again, which made him smile involuntarily.

"Hey, you are talking!" Liu Rushi shouted angrily. Qian Qianyi was stunned for a moment, "Oh, forget it!" He waved his hand, "The current situation is not peaceful, and business is difficult, so it's not all their fault. Besides, these people are not used to doing business—of course , The person you personally select must be capable and reliable. Now there are several Zhuangzi in the countryside, and the Zhuangtou are all old. I have wanted to replace them for a long time, so I might as well appoint these few people, but it is just right." Liu Rushi said coldly: "In the past few years, there have been either floods or droughts. How much income can I earn by just guarding the few acres of land? And it's too slow! Now if I want to make a lot of money quickly, I still have to rely on the road of doing business. !"

Qian Qianyi shook his head: "Don't underestimate those thousands of acres of land! In the final analysis, that is the foundation. With it, you will have everything you need to eat, drink and wear. As long as you can keep it, you will not go out for a lifetime, nor will you be frozen I can’t die from starvation. It’s not bad to go out to do business, after all, it’s a matter of chance. If you can make money, it will be good. If you lose money, it will only take a year or so to go bankrupt! Now it is said that Huizhou people are good at doing business, When a few rich men came out, everyone became jealous and wanted to follow his example. I don’t know that Huizhou has always been rich in mountains and few fields, and the land is thin and barren, not suitable for rice. In order to survive, I had to go out to do business. There are some people who are rich, but how many of them die when their capital is exhausted? We are guarding six or seven thousand mu of land, and whether we are in business or not is a secondary issue, so why should we take this matter too seriously?"

But Liu Rushi was very stubborn: "No matter what, those of me are determined not to be the head of the village!" Qian Qianyi glanced at her, and said helplessly, "Then, are you going to let them go out?" Liu Rushi nodded, and said thoughtfully, "However, this time I'm not letting them go to the mainland... Huh, I'm going to send them to sea!" She said, suddenly raised her head, and looked at Qian Qianyi with twinkling eyes.Seeing that he was silent, she said loudly with sudden excitement: "Listen to me! Now the inland is in turmoil, and business is difficult to do, but there are no wars or famines overseas, so it's just right to do business! At most, it's dangerous. A little. But I send people to go out in several groups, one trip is not the other, as long as one person comes back, it will not lose money; if two people come back, it will double the profit! Wood, pepper, or other rare treasures come back, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to live in them! Let’s go twice a year, not to mention three times. The genuine richest man in Changshu, do you believe it or not?"

The more Liu Rushi talked, the more excited he was by this tempting plan that suddenly appeared.She straightened up and sat up, two blushes appeared on her pale face.It was as if she had already grasped a magical net rope in her hand, as long as she pulled it lightly, a large amount of wealth would flow in a stream... Seeing her like this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help shaking his head secretly.Sea trade is naturally the most profitable business.In the past, Qian Qianyi had been doing it all the time, and at one point owned more than a dozen large loach boats.But then several times when we went out to sea, we encountered storms. Those ships were sunk and destroyed, and most of them were lost. The remaining few ships were sold because of lawsuits a few years ago and were eager for money.With the current economic situation, it is really easier said than done to build ships again!And I don't have a boat, so if I want to go to sea to do business, I can only join a partner.In this way, they have to be exploited and controlled by ship owners and main merchants, not to mention paying heavy taxes and land and water rates.Moreover, if it is not done well, people will be accused of "knotting theft" and "Tongfan" at any time. Last time, Zhang Hanru, a traitor from this county, falsely accused him to the court, and he took this as a crime, which made him subject to long-term investigation.Qian Qianyi is a person who has stumbled, and he really doesn't have Liu Rushi's ambitious energy anymore.However, he didn't want to spoil her immediately, so he said vaguely:

"Well, that's a good idea too...but let's think about it in the long run!" After saying this, in order to change the subject, he took out the copy from his sleeve, "I almost forgot, there are more Good news!" "What? You really beat the thieves away!" Liu Rushi took the pond and looked at it, and immediately shouted happily, "Now I can teach people to be at ease! Don't tell me, when the wind was tense a few days ago, but Worrying me to death, tossing and turning at night and having nightmares, it's terrible!" "Hmph, this time, Ma Yaocao is very proud!" Qian Qianyi said coldly, and sat down on a chair.

Liu Rushi was startled, then turned her eyes, as if she understood.She fell silent for a while, and asked, "Master Ma, do you know Mr. Ma?" Qian Qianyi still had a sullen face: "I have never met him, but I know him, and he also knows me. During the apocalypse, I saw Xu Yuantan's preface to Yuantan's anthology at Xu Yuantan's place. The article can be done. " "Well, Mr. Ma is a character not to be underestimated!" "..." Liu Rushi smiled slightly: "Master, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. I feel that a few years ago, you thought too much of the scholars in Fushe. In fact, they have no power, no soldiers, and only two Talking poorly all day long, it won't be a big deal!"

When Liu Rushi said this, he deliberately paused.Qian Qianyi's eyes gradually lit up: "You mean, I should work harder to contact Ma Yaocao?" "What did your husband say?" "Well, it makes sense, it makes sense!" Qian Qianyi slapped his knees and stood up, "Actually, it's not just Ma Yaocao! If the world is chaotic today, the real power is the general who holds the military power... Yes, that's a good idea!" He nodded repeatedly, with his hands behind his back, excitedly walked around the room for a few steps, and then stopped suddenly, "It's just that I have never had any contact with Ma Yao. The word 'contact' means nothing. But how do you get caught off guard?" Liu Rushi sighed: "My husband, where is your usual cleverness and alertness? Isn't this an excellent topic--Great Victory in Hidden Mountain!" Qian Qianyi stopped talking.He stroked his beard and looked sideways at Liu Rushi, as if he was thinking about something, then walked away slowly, circled one circle, another circle... Finally, he stopped in front of the desk, picked up the pen casually, dipped in Dip in ink and write quickly on a piece of brocade paper. "Well, listen—" he said, put down the pen, and excitedly picked up the brocade paper, ""Goose Walking-Written by Wen Qianshan's Victory", this is the title. Here is the poem: ,
