Chapter 282 Qianzhuang

For more than a year, Mao Shengyuan has had two unique secrets, soap and glass products, and the business immediately began to flourish, which also drove their other businesses and improved together.

In addition to Maoshengyuan, soap has no other penet. After Li Yi's unremitting efforts, almost all rich people in the south now know this new thing. If people say that they have never used it, they are embarrassed to say that they are rich.

So although the price of soap is ridiculously high, there is still a shortage of soap.

In addition, during this period, the signboard of Maoshengyuan's glazed mirror has also been completely launched. The advantages of the glass mirror itself are much better than the commonly used bronze mirror.

Before, Seawolves could only produce some small glass mirrors, which did not have much advantage over those imported by Europeans, but the price was more favorable.

However, as the craftsmen in the glass field began to mature, the sea wolf can now press faster flat glass with molds to make glass mirrors. The largest glass mirror area has reached two feet square, which is absolutely a rare product in this era.

Therefore, large glass mirrors and glass products produced in batches that meet the aesthetic taste of the Chinese people have also become the fist products of Maoshengyuan. In addition, the soap and glazed mirrors of Maoshengyuan last year were sent to the capital as tribute by the Fujian officials and immediately won the favor of the royal family, making Fujian continue to give to the emperor. The palace pays tribute to these things.

In this way, Maoshengyuan's two fist products have become more popular. * people are endless, and there are even merchants far away in Beijing, sending people thousands of miles to Fuzhou Maoshengyuan general number * these things to be transferred to Jingshi for sale.

With these two fist products, Mao Shengyuan can be said to have made his business prosperous. In addition, although Li Yi could not hang up Wei Zhongxian's line, he finally spent money and hung up an old eunuch who is currently working under Wei Zhongxian.

With this line, those who coveted the prosperous source business are much more honest. Now who doesn't know that there is a Wei Zhongxian Wei official in the court, who is very popular in front of the emperor. Sitting in the capital can call for wind and rain, and even in a flash, it can make many people disappear.

Although Mao Shengyuan could not be regarded as holding Wei Zhongxian's thick leg, Mao Shengyuan still found an eunuch closer to Wei Zhongxian. This kind of person could not easily offend him, so some time ago, Li Yi was bored with all kinds of harassment and threats, and he hugged this unknown eunuch. After the leg, it suddenly became clean.

Even those brocade guards who are usually very arrogant on land no longer dare to easily find trouble with Maoshengyuan, because these brocade guards know that Wei Zhongxian is now in charge of the factory. The fans of brocade guards have to listen to the dispatch of the east factory. After Maoshengyuan has this line, Jinyiwei will not dare to be arrogant. Come again to trouble them.

So it seems that Li Yi spent a lot of money to find a way this time, but in fact, doing so has saved Mao Shengyuan a lot of trouble and avoided a lot of unnecessary losses.

Otherwise, Mao Shengyuan's sudden rise in the business world will certainly attract hostility and coveting from his peers. I don't know who will secretly stumbling Mao Shengyuan and make Mao Shengyuan unable to take it away. Therefore, in Xiaotian's opinion, Li Yi spent it for this last year. Tens of thousands of taels of silver, there will be no white flowers.

With this road, Maoshengyuan's business is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to setting up a pennant in the capital cities of Fujian, people have been sent to Guangzhou Prefecture to open a new pennant. At present, Li Yi even proposed to open another Maoshengyuan pennant in Nanjing City in the second half of this year to take Maoshengyuan's Business moves north, and in the end, it is better to drive the subcolon to Beijing.

In this way, Maoshengyuan, a chain business, has basically spread out everywhere, forming a network, and the business is getting bigger and bigger.

After the sea wolf defeated Chu Cailao this time, Li Yi personally went to Nanri Island to meet Yu Xiaotian and put forward a new idea for Yu Xiaotian, which made Yu Xiaotian very excited.

Li Yi's idea is actually to rely on Maoshengyuan's network and strong funds to do the business of the bank.

What is Qianzhuang? In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just an early private bank. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qianzhuang had appeared a lot in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty. Because there were big problems in the currency circulation of the Ming Dynasty, the merchants in the north and south basically only recognized silver when handing goods.

Therefore, silver has become the official hard currency of Daming, but the value of silver is high. When buying some small things, it is definitely not appropriate to use silver. You can only use copper money, so this kind of business has emerged.

At first, the bank was only a place for people to exchange silver and copper coins, but later it gradually began to expand its business scope and absorb deposits, loan, foreign exchange and other businesses.

In this era, silver, as the most rigid circulating currency, is very inconvenient to use. Even if its ratio is high, it is not easy to carry if the business is relatively large.

Therefore, Qianzhuang provided a silver ticket, which is convenient for merchants to carry out and is easy to deliver. People who hold this silver ticket can get close to the centimeter of Qianzhuang and convert it into cash silver, which greatly facilitates the needs of businessmen to do business, which is also the earlier form of the banking industry.

In the past, although Li Yi's business was good, his strength was far from being able to start a bank, but now after he partnered with Yu Xiaotian, Mao Shengyuan's business is much stronger.

Several branches of Maoshengyuan have been opened in various places. Every day, Maoshengyuan's own business transactions alone are tens of thousands of taels, so Li Yi took a fancy to this point. Instead of letting others do this business, it is better for them to open their own bank and do this business by themselves.

Even before he came to Yu Xiaotian, he had made a detailed plan and found some good people. As soon as Yu Xiaotian agreed, he immediately began to deal with this matter.

After listening to Li Yi's proposal, Yu Xiaotian considered how to operate Qianzhuang. In fact, he was not clear. He did not study economics before and did not have a deep understanding of this aspect.

But he knows the benefits that a bank may bring to him. Once there is a bank that belongs to him, he will be looser in the future. In addition, he no longer needs to rely on others to launder money. Through his own bank, he can Launder the money.

In a word, this matter is also a good thing for him. He has no reason to interfere with it, but he can't let Li Yi do it alone. There is still necessary supervision.

So he invited Zhao Mazi and asked Zhao Mazi to find two subordinates who were familiar with Qianzhuang's business in the board to study how this matter should work, and the board of directors can manipulate and supervise behind their backs. In short, Qianzhuang can be opened, but it must be placed under his control to ensure safety.

After Zhao Mazi obeyed the order, he quickly began to work according to Yu Xiaotian's instructions, and finally reached an agreement with Li Yi to confirm that Qianzhuang could start.

However, the people in the board proposed that it is best not to put the newly opened Qianzhuang under the name of Maoshengyuan, and try to start another one. On the surface, don't let people know the relationship between this Qianzhuang and Maoshengyuan. Maoshengyuan is just a customer of Qianzhuang and borrow the Qianzhuang to pay for payment.

In this way, Qianzhuang and Maoshengyuan will not have anything to do with it on the surface. Even if something goes wrong with Maoshengyuan or Qianzhuang in the future, it will not affect the business of another family.

Li Yi felt that it was okay to do this, and it was safer to do so, so the matter of opening a bank was decided. After discussing with Yu Xiaotian, the bank was named Jingtai Qianzhuang.

As for the specific operation, Yu Xiaotian didn't understand and didn't pretend to understand it. He threw it directly to Zhao Mazi, Li Yi and others to let them do it.

The start-up of a bank is not a matter of one sentence. First of all, the bank must have the funds to start up, then print the ticket list, and try to make it as difficult as possible. In short, this thing is very cumbersome and can't make a little mistake. Otherwise, the business may be ruined as soon as the door is opened.

So Yu Xiaotian, a layman, will not make up and let Li Yi and other experts do it.

Just as Li Yi left Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian got great news. This news has little to do with the sea wolf, but it is a great good news for Xiaotian.

Because his wife Lan'er and his maid Xiu'er almost came out of happy news one after the other, that is to say, it won't be long for him to be a father in Xiaotian.

When Qinwei whispered this great good news, Yu Xiaotian jumped up happily and almost turned over on the spot with a smile.

You should know that he and Lan'er got married for a long time. For such a long time, Yu Xiaotian has worked hard, including Xiuer, and Yu Xiaotian has also hoeed the land.

But for a long time, somehow, Lan'er and Xiu's stomachs have never had any reaction. For this reason, Lan'er and Xiu'er, even many people, including Liu Laoliu, were worried about them.

Yu Xiaotian has always been busy living a busy life and often staying at night, which makes Liu Laoliu very dissatisfied. For this reason, he has repeatedly reminded Xiaotian that he is not young. Lan'er has married him for so long and it's time to have a child.

Yu Xiaotian is not resistant to this. Since he came to this era, he also wants to leave his children here, but God doesn't seem to help him much at this point. No matter how hard he works on Lan'er and Xiuer, the belly of the two has never been There is a little movement.

So Yu Xiaotian even wondered if there was something wrong with him, which made Lan'er and Xiu'er unable to conceive, and even secretly asked the medical officer to examine him to see if there was something wrong with his body.

However, several Langzhong who had checked Yu Xiaotian's body said that Yu Xiaotian was very strong and did not find any problems, so Yu Xiaotian could only accept his fate and wait for a miracle to happen one day.

This time, he never thought that not long after he defeated Chu Cailao, Lan'er and Xiu'er found that they were happy almost at the same time.

After the two took their pulses in Langzhong and confirmed that they were pregnant, both of them were overjoyed and quickly sent someone to report the news to Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian was still in his study and was discussing some problems of ship construction with several craftsmen in the boat. Now he is eager to build more practical ships such as sloops as soon as possible to meet his own needs.

So he recruited the boatmen in the boathouse to discuss with them about building the boathouse on the other side of Danshui Village, and discussed how to build more sloops or sloops faster to meet their needs.

After the guard came and whispered the news to Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian was happy on the spot and immediately got up and waved, "That's all for today. You can prepare. Tomorrow, you will go to a few people in Danshui Village first. According to the results of our discussion, go over there and stare at the construction of the boat house over there. In addition, we should speed up the preparation of materials. Once the ship is completed, the construction will start immediately! Don't waste time!

There are other things that can be prepared first. After you go there, you have to start to prepare. The dock is more laborious. For the time being, it's better to build it with the platform first. After waiting for people to be sufficient, it's not too late to dig the dock!

I have something to do today, so I won't tell you more! Haha! You guys step back!"

After listening to this, the boatmen quickly packed up and got up and left. Without waiting for them to walk out of the room, Yu Xiaotian ran out with his own guard and ran towards the backyard of the house.
