Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hu hummed and said, "She deserves it. She doesn't miss our old relationship. Chang Ning has tormented me so much in the past two years. I complained to her, but she was not willing to punish Chang Ning."

Zhao Ming said: "She didn't want to replace Chang Ning, but Uncle Qi, it was her greeting Zhao Ju when your convoy was transporting goods. This saved your convoy from being invaded by bandits. Everywhere she went, she saw When we go to good shops and houses, we will leave some for you in advance, and the prices given are beyond what others can get..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't give her any less money. She collected food and grass several times. Did I donate less?"

Zhao Ming was expressionless, "But she was trying to protect Yuzhou, otherwise the Huns would invade and all the huge family property would belong to the Hu people."

Zhao Hu was blocked by him and finally said angrily: "I'm not going to Luoyang anyway."

Zhao Ming then said: "Sanniang and I agreed that it would be one-to-one, but if Uncle Qi opens his mouth, he might give you more based on the assets in your hands."

Zhao Hu hesitated for a moment, "One to one or two?"

Zhao Ming twitched the corner of his mouth and said as calmly as possible: "Uncle Qi may give it a try."

Zhao Hu frowned, "Can his new money really be the same as his old money? If other states and counties don't recognize it, what should I do if I exchange it for new money?"

Zhao Ming thought for a while and then said: "Actually, there are only two places where I am not sure."

"Which two places?"

"Jiangnan and Yanzhou," Zhao Ming said, "Xiliang has also minted new coins on its own. Now that Shu is independent, they also have plans to mint copper coins alone. The two lakes areas have close ties with Yuzhou and they also recognize our new coins."

Before minting new money, Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Ming both considered it. If the new money was only circulated within Yuzhou and Luoyang, it would naturally come from them. Obviously, their ambitions did not stop there.

Zhao Ming said: "And to be disrespectful, as long as Sanniang is here and as long as Yuzhou is still under the control of my Zhao family, the new money we minted will be useful. Yuzhou and Luoyang are the Zhongzhou and the foundation of the world." "

For some reason, Zhao Hu's heart trembled, "Then if one day Yuzhou is no longer in the hands of my Zhao family..."

Zhao Ming said coldly: "Then what's the difference if the money is old money or new money? Uncle Qi, at this point, Zhao has already staked his entire fortune and life with Sanniang."

Zhao Hu didn't think so.

He rolled his eyes. If Yuzhou really fell into the hands of the enemy one day, the worst he could do was run away.

But running also costs money.

You can go as far as the south of the Yangtze River, but you have to buy houses, shops and fields, especially fields. You need to buy more. Otherwise, when you get old and you don't have a job to make money, won't your life be very miserable?

But if he is unfamiliar with the place, it will cost a lot of money to buy assets in Jiangnan, right?

Zhao Hu thought about it and finally relented, "Okay, I'll go to Luoyang!"

Just make a fortune from Zhao Hanzhang, and then let people take the money and things to Jiangnan to try. If the new money is really useful there, then he will buy more things, just to leave a way out.

Zhao Ming smiled slightly and said: "Then I will let people prepare. Uncle Qi will rest tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Hu said, "This matter is not urgent. We will wait until I visit Chen County."

Chen County is now much more lively and even prosperous to the naked eye.

The summer harvest had just ended, so there were many people on the street. Zhao Hu proudly went to inspect his shop. He only had two shops in Chen County, one was a cloth shop and the other was a restaurant.

Not to mention the restaurant, it was a place that Zhao Hanzhang liked to eat at. He mainly went to Buzhuang today because Buzhuang's accounts were not good.

He asked for his shop directly from Ji Yuan. At that time, Chen County was in dire need of development, so the price was extremely cheap and the location was particularly good.

Of course, it is undeniable that there is Zhao Hanzhang's favor in this.

But despite such a good location, there were not many people in the store.

Zhao Hu walked into the store unhappily and saw that there wasn't much fabric inside.

As soon as he walked in, the clerk immediately greeted him warmly, "Master, do you want to see the fabric?"

The waiter still had some discernment. As soon as he saw Zhao Hu's dress, he led him to the right and said with a smile, "Look, these are the new silks and satins our store has released this year."

Zhao Hu glanced at the silks and satins that the waiter brought down, then went forward to look through the rest on the shelf, feeling disgusted, "In such a big store, these are just these pieces of silks and satins?"

The clerk smiled and said: "Master, don't look at the small amount of silk and satin in our store. Every piece is the best, and they are all high-quality silk and satin shipped from the two lakes. Looking at the entire Chen County, no one can produce better than ours." Better, more satin.”

"What a liar! Chen County is so big, but the silk and satin fabrics in the cloth shop can't even compare with Xiping?" Zhao Hu was just about to ask the housekeeper to call the steward of the cloth shop for questioning, but someone else came to the shop.

They were four women together, all holding a roll of burlap. Seeing that Zhao Hu looked down on him and felt that his business was difficult, the waiter asked him to watch first while he ran to greet the four women.

They came to sell linen.

The waiter touched the linen they brought, quickly agreed with them on the price, turned around and went to get the money from the counter.

Zhao Hu was dumbfounded. He also had several cloth shops under his name. This was the first shop that collected linen cloths in scattered pieces and then put them on the shelves for sale.

Zhao Hu walked to the left and took a look and found that this cloth shop not only lacked silk and satin, but also had a pitiful shortage of other cloths.

There are few types, few quantities, and even few colors.

Zhao Hu called the waiter and asked: "Who taught you to gather linen cloth and sell it in the shop?"

The waiter noticed something was different now and whispered: "Our shopkeeper taught me."

Zhao Hu lost his temper and said, "Call him here!"

The guy immediately ran to find someone.

The steward had just sent the account books to the county governor's house in the morning, but he didn't expect the master to come over so soon. He knelt down to say hello.

Zhao Hu waved his hand in disgust and said, "Let me ask you, didn't I ask someone to take you to see the caravan that purchased the goods? How did you manage my good cloth shop like this?"

He said: "I have so many cloth shops under my name, but none of them has ever been in such a miserable state."

The steward quickly said: "Mr. Lang, I have tried hard, but if the caravan doesn't come to Chen County, I won't be able to buy fabrics even if I get money. What I have now is thanks to the girl I entrusted to."

Zhao Hu said angrily: "What are you doing to her?"

The steward said: "It's the businessman we met from Dafang who gave us more cloth. If Master Lang doesn't believe it, you can go to other cloth shops in Chen County and have a look. The business and cloth in their shops are not as good as ours." ."

Zhao Hu was so angry, "Why should I go to see other people's cloth shops? How do you know how to compare with them? Can't you look at the cloth shops in Xiping and other well-run cloth shops under my name?"

"If the mountains don't come, I'll go to the mountains. Do you understand? If no cloth merchants come, won't you send people out to buy goods?" Zhao Hu said: "Runan, Ruyin, Nanyang, which county can't go? It's really not possible. If you want people from me, you can just go to Lianghu to buy goods, but you just mess around like this, my shop doesn’t cost money, and the labor doesn’t cost money?”
