Chapter 26 Partnership
At an ordinary wonton stand on the side of the road, there was a bun-faced little girl in a small jacket embroidered with a butterfly pattern in the color of a concubine of Xiang, holding her forehead helplessly, with a look of unlovedness on her face, which made people feel like Cute and funny.

Another boy in a moon-white robe, with a golden crown and jade belt, has a thin and tall figure unique to young people. He looks at the girl opposite with a firm expression on his face.

The housekeeper next to them seemed to stay out of the matter, always looking up at the sky, not meeting the eyes of any of these two people.

Lu Weimang decided that his head was too big, and his business still had no idea, and another stubborn person came to join the group.

"Okay, let's think about what business to do in the future. How about my proposal? Are we selling salt? Or opening a restaurant? Although food is also available, it requires too much manpower and material resources, and the two of us can't do it for the time being." If you want me to say, let's open the restaurant first! My mother has a piece of land, just on the edge of Nancheng, where we can build a tall and spacious three-story building, and guarantee that after opening, it will be better than the current one in Kyoto. The largest Rongsheng Pavilion is even more impressive!"

The young man's rhetoric made Lu Weimang feel even more headache.It's okay if this partner can't get rid of him, he's still so naive.

"Do you know the height limit of buildings in Kyoto? Our three-story restaurant is built to be taller than the imperial palace. What is it for? And after it is completed, what about the source of tourists? You let all the dignitaries in the east and west cities drive to the south city. Just for a meal? Let alone the two of us, your father may not have this face. And the cook, where can I find a better cook than Rongsheng Pavilion?"

Lu Weimang wanted to speak out, to hit the other party a little, so that he would not be so naive.

"It's easy to say. I'll go to the head of the Ministry of Industry and ask them to set a height limit for us. Can we be the second tallest in Kyoto? And the cook, that's easy to say. I know the third prince very well. Let him Help me invite an imperial chef to come over to sit in the town. As you said it is too far away, no one goes to eat, this is a bit troublesome, but it is not impossible to solve. I saw some teahouses with singing, and many people cheered every day , we can also set up an opera troupe in the restaurant, and find some beautiful maids to serve as waiters, I am afraid that no one will want to go. How about it? Is everything resolved?"

The more excited Qin Xuanyue said, he couldn't help looking at Lu Weimang with some complacency.

"It seems that I still have some talent for business."

After hearing this bad idea, Lu Weimang would have fought if he hadn't seen the innocent look on the boy's face, but he endured it, but he still couldn't hold back, and got up and gave him a slap on the back of the boy's head.

"Hey, why did you hit me? You know how strong your hand is. How painful it is!"

The young man protested aggrievedly while clutching the back of his head, while Lu Weimang raised his hand again to threaten him, "It's good to know it hurts. We're doing business seriously, but you always think of crooked ways, pretty little maids, and singing songs. It's smoky, why don't you Let’s just build a brothel.”

Lu Weimang said angrily, and Qin Xuan also came back to his senses, "Haha, that does look a bit like it..."

Lu Weimang gave Qin Xuan a blank look, and didn't bother to answer.

"Then what do you think we're doing? You've been searching the streets for days, do you have any clues? Wei Wei, this business is about getting ahead of the time, the sooner you can make a name for yourself, the sooner you can get out of the control of your family." .My second brother is not famous for his talent, but at the age of ten he can take charge of the affairs of his own yard. After 13 years old, he can go out to study with great Confucianism. My mother's death and life didn't make my second brother change his mind. I I am 13 years old this year, and I have to hurry up to become a talent, otherwise I will be controlled every day, and I will not be free."

Young people attach great importance to the respect of adults. It must be that he was treated as a child by his parents, and he was often reprimanded and disciplined. He wanted to make a career to prove himself, and Lu Weimang also understood.

But can you stop urging her, she is already very distressed.

"Doing business in our identity is both convenient and restrictive. Although the breakfast sellers in the city make money every day, they are hard-earned money. It is not decent. My family will definitely not let us go. Most of the more profitable businesses, It is nothing more than taking advantage of the geographical gap to earn a higher price difference, such as fur, which is cheaper to collect in the Northland, and it is easy to sell when you come to Kyoto. But neither of us can go out of Kyoto. We only direct in Kyoto and let others It’s impossible to do it. You don’t know anything, and you can’t go there to study and investigate in person, aren’t you just waiting to be fooled? So, looking for a business that is decent, not opposed by the family, and has enough profits is indeed Not easy."

Qin Xuan was obviously much more disappointed than the upsurge just now, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do? No wonder Wei Wei, you haven't got a clue after thinking about it for several days. It's really difficult."

The two looked at each other with sad faces.

"that…"

At this time, the housekeeper who had been serving as the background board suddenly spoke, "Isn't the salt that Mr. Qin mentioned just now?"

Seeing the two people turning their heads to look at him together, the housekeeper continued, "Salt and iron have always been the exclusive business of the imperial court, but isn't Mr. Qin's father in charge of this aspect? Mr. Qin, you mentioned it just because your father often has salt work to do." , That's why you know it by ear, right?"

Qin Xuan shook his head, "Selling salt to make money is because of small profits but quick turnover. Wei Wei is right. We can't get out of the capital, and we can't be a salt merchant."

Lu Weimang seemed to have a flash of inspiration, "Yes, they can't do these ordinary businesses, but they can do deep processing!"

"Qin Xuan, you are right, we can sell salt!"

Lu Weimang was so excited that he just wanted to pat his good brother's arm, thinking of his hand strength, he decided to forget it.

Qin Xuan shook his head when he heard this, "Weiwei, I just said selling salt because my father said several times that salt merchants are not extravagant and greedy, but I'm afraid the two of us can't do it. Father, we I can ask my mother to help me get some Yanyin. But we don’t have salt farms, and we don’t have people who are familiar with the inside story of salt affairs. Even if we have Yanyin, we probably won’t be able to earn much money.”

Lu Weimang shook his head when he heard this, "No salt is needed, let's make the salt ourselves."

Qin Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Wei Wei, you can do tricks!"

Lu Weimang couldn't hold back his hand, looked at the confused young man in front of him, patted his arm, and pulled him away before he jumped up.

She has been around the streets these days, and she knows where to buy salt.The nearest one is a large grocery store.

"Okay, don't waste time if you have an idea. Let's go buy salt now. If you want to partner with me, go back and collect money. We brothers, settle the score. Don't need to prepare too much in the early stage. I will pay 1000 taels, you For 1000 taels, we will open [-]-[-]."

Qin Xuan didn't understand, so he followed Lu Weimang to the grocery store selling salt. Hearing this, he almost jumped up, "Why can I only pay [-]% for the same money as you?"

"Because I gave the idea, I gave the technology, plus the capital, you should have a quarter, but who made you my brother? I suffered a bit and let you take three."

"no!"

"why not?"

"Anyway, I can't. You are so smart, you will definitely not let me take more for nothing. There must be something I don't know. So, I have to take four, and we will take four or six."

"Hey, I really can't do anything about you, so let's go four or six. We'll buy some salt and go back later, and we'll write a document to prove it."

"You agreed so easily, you won't cheat me, you always feel uneasy."

"How did I cheat you? If you weren't my brother, I could do this business myself. As for your 1000 taels, do you think I'm short of money?"

Qin Xuan thinks about it too, "Well, Wei Wei is so righteous, if I have something to tell me directly in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

Lu Weimang waved his hands after listening, "Oh, we're going to talk about this. From now on, it's all your own business. Can you not be dedicated?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Weimang found the target, "This is it."

A group of people went straight in, and the neat line behind them made the store's legs go weak.

"Master, miss, this shop has always been innocent, is there some misunderstanding?"

The shopkeeper said tremblingly behind the counter.

"No misunderstanding, no, don't get me wrong, we are not here to find fault, we are here to buy salt. How much salt you have here, we want it all!"

Lu Weimang waved his hand and said boldly.

Hearing that he was here to buy things, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, "We also have 150 catties of coarse salt in the store, 12000 Wen per catty, and 12 Wen of Chenghui, which is [-] taels."

"Okay, I want it all, pay for it."

Lu Weimang patted Qin Xuan.

"Ah?..., oh..."

Qin Xuan took out the silver from the armhole, and the shopkeeper took it. After weighing it, he smashed a piece of silver, and returned the rest, Qin Xuan stuffed it back into the armband again.

Lu Weimang's eyes couldn't help following.

In other words, she has never had the opportunity to spend money like this in ancient times!It's quite interesting to hinge it together and return it.

Seeing Lu Weimang's eyes, Qin Xuan quickly covered his cuffs, "This is my pocket money, and it's not much."

With a stingy look, it seemed that he was not the one who boldly took out the banknote just now.

Lu Weimang pursed his mouth, and Qin Xuan was also a little embarrassed.He has always been generous, but after being with Lu Weimang for a long time, for some reason, he started to cover his wallet.It may be that those who are close to ink are black, Qin Xuan thinks.

Coarse salt is light, so 150 catties of coarse salt looks like a full sack.

A guard behind Lu Weimang stepped forward and carried the salt to his shoulders.

Lu Weimang was not surprised either.Not to mention, it is trivial for her to carry the salt by herself. Adult men in this era, as long as they are not the type of weak scholars, generally have no problem carrying one or two hundred catties. Jin is no problem.Lu Weimang's guards are all carefully selected people with strong military force, each of them can draw a strong bow with a hundred stones, and carry more than one hundred catties of salt, which is trivial.
