Wei and Jin cooks

"When we were in Xiping and Chen County, my seventh uncle wanted to poach me. Although I didn't agree, I also took money to take some shares in his caravan. It's not a lot, but I should have a lot of money in a few years."

Fu Tinghan never asked for a share. Over time, it should be more.

Zhao Hanzhang also became starry-eyed and asked expectantly: "How much money did you participate in?"

Fu Tinghan smiled and said: "Not much, just 200,000 yuan."

So although he didn't know how much money he had earned over the years, he was definitely guaranteed a minimum of 200,000.

He actually has money?

Zhao Hanzhang tried hard to recall that she still had money when she was in Xiping. After all, she had a dowry and a treasure left by her grandfather. At that time, the glaze workshop also started to make a lot of money for her, so she was very generous. Fu Tinghan was given some money every month.

But she can guarantee that there won't be much money left after expenses, let alone after Chen County. By then, she has begun to be poor. A copper plate has to be broken into two flowers by any means. Fu Tinghan supports her, but there is no way. Money.

So, "Where did you get the two hundred thousand as capital?"

Fu Tinghan: "I earned it from my seventh uncle."

He said: "In Xiping, I improved the temperature and control of the porcelain kiln for him. He wanted to pay me at the time, but it was just a piece of cake for me, so I didn't get paid. Porcelain is an enduring thing in China. He Although his porcelain kiln is not well-known, it sells well among the middle and lower classes in Yuzhou, so I directly asked him to share half of my porcelain kiln shares."

At that time, the porcelain kiln's annual income was less than 100,000 yuan. After all, except for the occasional good porcelain that could be sold for around 100 yuan, most of the other dishes, plates and bottles were sold for between 2 and 20 yuan.

These selling prices exclude transportation costs and sales costs, as well as production costs. Zhao Hu can only earn a small profit.

Taking away half of the profit is equivalent to giving Fu Tinghan 5,000 yuan a year. To be honest, Zhao Hu's treat to Fu Tinghan for a meal is worth this money.

So he didn't take it to heart at all at the time.

Zhao Hanzhang's glaze workshop is so profitable, compared with her workshop, his porcelain kiln is not worth mentioning at all.

Asking Fu Tinghan to modify the porcelain kiln for him was more to maintain the relationship, and then use the opportunity to seduce him. He also wanted to open a glaze workshop.

Unfortunately, wars broke out one after another. Zhao Hanzhang, the magistrate of Xiping County, first became the acting governor of Runan County, and then became the governor of Yuzhou.

That official position and that power are rising like a cloud.

Thanks to Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Hu's business territory has also expanded rapidly with her power. Under such circumstances, Zhao Hu did not want to have a quarrel with her, so he always wanted to win over Fu Tinghan, but did not dare to make great efforts to win over her. status.

And somewhere he couldn't see, his hard-working and intelligent craftsmen had fired new porcelain inspired by colored glaze.

This kind of porcelain is called crack glaze. Its glaze surface is covered with small cracks, some are sparse and some are dense, some are thick and some are thin, some are long and some are short, some are curved and some are straight, like cracks or ice cracks.

This thing first appeared because after Fu Tinghan improved the temperature of the porcelain kiln, the craftsmen improperly controlled the firing, and the glaze of the porcelain they took out was cracked. This was originally a defect, but because the cracks were so beautiful, the craftsmen couldn't help but think about it, and started Thinking about how to bake better cracks so that they can form a natural contrast with the glaze.

Later they fired it, but tentatively put it in porcelain and sold it outside.

Facts have proved that there is more than one person who has the vision to discover beauty, and the Chinese people's aesthetics are highly consistent to a certain extent.

Cracked glaze was very popular and once became the best-selling porcelain in Zhao Hu porcelain kiln. The price was not low, so the profit was not low.

Coupled with the expansion of Zhao Hanzhang's power, the porcelain kiln's business is booming.

Of course, Fu Tinghan didn't know this at this time. He said: "In Chen County, the craftsmen and I helped him modify the loom and also helped him improve the accounting method. At that time, part of the money earned by Chen County was given to You raise an army, and the remaining 200,000 yuan is put in his caravan. His caravan has been prospering in the past few years, and I think he should have made a lot of money."

Fu Tinghan felt that the porcelain kiln might not have much money. After a few years, the half-percent profit would cost him 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, but the caravan should have made a lot of money. After all, his capital was only 200,000 yuan.

This is what he thought and said, and he comforted Zhao Hanzhang, "I'll give you the extra money. In two years, if the caravan's return rate exceeds 30%, I will take out all of it."

"No," Zhao Hanzhang looked at him with bright eyes, "You only take the profits, or you tell your seventh uncle to invest the profits in shares instead of taking them out. After all, you haven't paid any dividends in the past two years, so you don't deserve your money." It should be included in the cost of the caravan."

Zhao Erlang on the side became anxious when he heard that his sister refused to withdraw money, "Sister, the county government is really short of money. If you don't give me money, I will lose my face."

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him and said, "Why are you in a hurry? I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you."

Face? She is long gone!

However, looking at her brother's immature face, Zhao Hanzhang still didn't want to embarrass him, and said to Fu Tinghan: "You take the profits from the porcelain kiln."

Fu Tinghan: "That's not much, right?"

Zhao Hanzhang said quietly: "That's too much. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't know. The seventh uncle's porcelain kiln has become famous in recent years. Now it is about to dominate the Central Plains kilns. You can take the profits of the porcelain kiln. If you can't take out twenty Wan Lai, ask him to check the account books for you!"

Zhao Hanzhang had already made up her mind. If Zhao Hu dared to misbehave Professor Fu's money, she would dare to go to Ming Chu to check the account.

Who dares to make false accounts even if it's obvious?

Fu Tinghan was dubious. That small porcelain kiln had developed so well in just over three years?

He called Fu An and said, "Send me a message to the seventh master tomorrow morning, saying that I want to get the profits of the porcelain kiln over the years."

Fu An agreed and went to prepare the post.

The room suddenly became quiet. Zhao Erlang scratched his head, looked at his sister in confusion, and then turned to look at his brother-in-law. He was confused, why didn't they speak?

Aren’t all the money matters settled?

According to his understanding, shouldn't he be very happy at this moment?

Where's my sister's "yeah"?

Fu Tinghan looked at the silent Zhao Hanzhang and asked, "Are you short of money?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, reached out and clicked on the drawing and said: "Building a dock is a big expense."

Fu Tinghan was silent. He could still help Zhao Erlang with the expenses of the county government, but he felt that he did not have the ability to increase the entire national treasury.

Earnings take time, and even making money requires a process...

Fu Tinghan couldn't help but look at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded at him, confirming what he was thinking, "I want 'Zhao' money to completely replace the old money. I will find more copper mines, refine more copper, and make the national treasury richer." ."

Fu Tinghan was silent for a moment and then said: "It's not impossible. This is copper money, not paper money. It has value in itself, just like gold and silver..."

He paused when he said this, because he saw Zhao Hanzhang's eyes popping up from the top of the mountain like the rising sun, and his whole person lit up.
