What did Qin Zhuo use for mining before?Because Han Wuzhou promised him that after the success of the Northern Expedition, he talked with the emperor about the increase in copper prices. At the same time, he also promised Qin Zhuo that he could mint copper coins privately to repay Qin Zhuo's 4000 million donation.

At that time, Qin Zhuo took a total of four mines, including a lead and tin mine in Xinzhou, and a more famous Suizhou gold mine. Han Wuzhou promised to raise it to 100 Wen per catty, and Qin Zhuo could earn more than 200 million yuan a year. , the four mines add up, and it is estimated that they can earn more than [-] million yuan a year. No matter how privately minted copper coins, they can earn a fortune, which can be regarded as a little return. As a result, the Northern Expedition failed, Lao Han was killed, and Qin Zhuo's four mines were rotten. In his hand, but he has not sold, waiting for today.

In the past few years, he has used the mine to train some manpower for him. The Qin family's business has spread all over the country, and they have to be escorted by strong men along the road. Qin Zhuo chooses strong men from among the miners. These miners have strength and can be used with a little training. .

"How many of your four mines are still in operation?" Zhao Yurui asked.

"They are all in operation, but only Xinzhou Copper Mine and Suizhou Gold Mine have more people." Qin Zhuo said: "The other two have no people for the time being. The more people there are, the more they lose. They don't make much money at all."

The Suizhou Gold Mine can earn Qin Zhuo tens of thousands of guan in a year, but it is not a problem of production, but a problem of sales, because there is very little gold in the market, and it is basically used as gold jewelry. The main circulation in the Song Dynasty is copper coins, a large business Silver will be used only by officials and officials, and gold will be used for annual coins.

The price of gold in the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively high, but it was rarely used in the market, and cheap gold from Japan came in.

It was later that Zhao Yurui learned that Qin Zhuo also imported gold from Japan, and in the Southern Song Dynasty he could earn more than sixty times.

Therefore, digging gold in the Southern Song Dynasty cost a lot of money and earned less. It is better to import it from Japan, so the output of gold mines in Suizhou is not much.

Zhao Yurui thought to herself, this will be in later generations, and Lao Tzu will not desperately mine it, but it doesn't matter, now Lao Tzu has taken over.

At this moment, he looked up at Qin Zhuo, and then thought about Qin Chen.

Qin Chen is not handsome, but he is chubby and cute, and Qin Zhuo is not very fat. This man's daughter shouldn't be ugly, huh?
"Does Uncle Zhuo have a daughter?"

Qin Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then realized after a while, and said loudly: "My little girl, Qin Nan, is only nine years old, and I dare not say that the moon is ashamed, but the beauty of the sky is still fine."

At the age of nine, Zhao Yurui could see Mao, but she was too young, Zhao Yurui thought.But that's okay.

"Let's get engaged. When she grows up, I will marry her." Zhao Yurui was very straightforward.

Now he and Qin Zhuo are in the same boat, and they can speak directly if they have anything to say.

Qin Zhuo thought to himself that King Yi was really—a cheerful person.

"Don't worry, King Yi, from today onwards, no other man will be able to see Nan'er."

"..." Zhao Yurui.

At this moment, the two looked up and looked at each other, feeling each other's sincerity.

Qin Zhuo wanted to join him, fearing that Zhao Yurui would not trust him.

Zhao Yurui wanted to take him in, but she was also afraid that he would be unreliable.

Now that Zhao Yurui proposed to marry her daughter, both of them felt the sincerity of each other when they helped each other.

Since ancient times, the Han people have used marriage as the best way to form an alliance.

In fact, Zhao Yurui was still a little worried, and wanted to see Qin Nan, so as not to be tricked, but the other party was too young to speak.

In the end, I can only think about it, ugly is ugly, for the sake of the future 20 million to [-] billion, I have to fight with tears in my eyes.

But at this time, Qin Zhuo was also looking up and down at Zhao Yurui, and then touched his waist again.

Zhao Yurui looked along, and there was a delicate jade pendant hanging on Qin Zhuo's waist.

This is an engagement token? It's a special mother's. Qin Zhuo is worried about me?

Zhao Yurui looked down, and picked up the commonly used paper fan from the table. This fan was from a batch of treasures given to him by Shi Miyuan. It had Xin Qiji's inscription on it. It must be valuable for future generations, but here, He sent someone to ask, at most ten pennies.

"This fan is my beloved, and it is an engagement token."

Qin Zhuo was overjoyed, and took off the jade pendant around his waist: "This is a precious jade handed down from my Qin family, and I take it as a token."

The two exchanged tokens of engagement.

Qin Zhuo opened it and saw Xin Qiji's inscription, his eyes lit up: "It's actually You'an's inscription."

"Uncle Zhuo has seen him?"

Qin Zhuodao said that he had met several times back then.

Han Yuzhou made great use of Xin Qiji and Lu You back then, because both of them supported the Northern Expedition, Han Yuzhou successively appointed Xin Qiji as the prefect of Shaoxing and Zhenjiang, and also recruited him into the court as a privy official and other officials, but Xin's character is really a bit cynical, In other words, similar to Zhao Mian, his EQ is relatively low, and he can't talk to the court officials at all, and has been dismissed many times.

Qin Zhuo shook lightly a few times, and suddenly thought of something: "There are still some people in the Xin family who are in the officialdom, and King Yi will meet them later, and they can be reused."

"Oh, who else?"

"Xin Qiji's third son, Xin Xie, is currently serving as a prisoner in Tongchuan. He often led troops in Sichuan in his early years and is quite familiar with the local area."

Zhao Yurui talked with Qin Zhuo for a long time, and found that he knew everything, including faction personnel in the Song Dynasty, important figures from various places, and even Jinmeng Xixia and other things.

Thinking that his shop's business routes lead to all parts of the country, and it does have the function of collecting information. As a businessman, this person can be reused by Han Yuzhou, and he is regarded as a close friend by Han Yuzhou, which is really extraordinary.

Zhao Yurui had a secret conversation with him for a long time that day. Apart from how to make money, they also discussed in detail how to reset the business, arrange detailed work and other matters. Qin Zhuo originally thought that Zhao Yurui was still young and had to rely on him for many things.

Unexpectedly, when we talked about it, we found that Zhao and Rui are also omnipotent, they can say everything logically, and their many ideas are even more amazing. Qin Zhuo was shocked, and he became more and more confident in his bet this time .

He couldn't believe that Zhao Yurui's mind was that of a 15-year-old boy.

In history, there was someone talking at night while holding candles. On that day, the two talked from morning to afternoon, and then reluctantly separated until night.

Before Qin Zhuo left, Zhao Yurui looked at him and said solemnly: "Lu Buwei has become a minister of state since he was a businessman. According to Rui and Zhuo, if Uncle Zhuo is a minister of state, no one can match him."

This is already the second time Zhao Yurui said such words today, Qin Zhuo was ecstatic in his heart, but kept his expression calm: "Qin Zhuo is only seeking business, and wishing his descendants to be rich, that's enough."

Qin Zhuo returned to the mansion with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing his father's return, Qin Chen immediately stepped forward: "Father, what did Zhao Yurui say?"

Qin Zhuo looked at his son for a while, and said after a while: "Yi Wang is very greedy for money, but he is still reasonable and has a bottom line. If this person gains power, it will only benefit our Qin family, and there will be no harm."

Qin Chen seemed to understand, but after getting along with Zhao Yurui, Qin Chen also felt that Zhao Yurui had no airs and was more righteous to his friends.

"This person is really not like other clans. Zhong You is usually high-ranking and looks down on us businessmen." Qin Xiaopang is not stupid. He usually plays well with Zhong You and other people. Zhong You relied on his sister Zhong Ma'am, I have been favored by an official rank, and I really look down on Qin Xiaopang, a merchant's son like Qin Xiaopang.

If Qin Xiaopang hadn't been rich and willing to spend it, Zhong You wouldn't have played with him.

"It's good that you understand." Qin Zhuo said in a deep voice, "My status as a businessman in the Great Song Dynasty has been relatively high in the past, but those scholars and officials still look down on us from the bottom of their hearts."

"But father believes in his own vision. Zhao Yurui is different from other great Song clans. He should understand that the world cannot do without us businessmen."

Having said that, he slapped the table hard: "Go and call Qin Meng, Qin Gang, and Qin Youhu."

Qin Meng and Qin Gang are blood brothers, Qin Youhu and Qin Dahu are blood brothers, they are both from the Qin family, among them, Qin Dahu and Qin Ju died together in Qizhou last year.

At that time, Qin Meng and others were in the army, and finally Qin Ju decided to go to the fire and die, so Qin Meng and others returned to the capital to join Qin Zhuo.

The four grew up in Qin Zhuo's family. After training, eighteen of them from the Qin clan went out with Qin Ju to fight against the Jin soldiers. In the end, there were only three of them. It can be considered as trying my best.

After a while, Qin Meng, Qin Gang, and Qin Youhu came to the study.

The three of them were all in their early twenties, all of them had fierce faces, with vigor, and they looked like battle-tested fighters.

"Uncle Zhuo"

"Uncle Zhuo." The three paid their respects one after another.

Qin Zhuo nodded with a smile, and after looking at them one by one, he said, "Qin Meng."

"It's fierce." Qin Meng has the strongest figure, looks tall and mighty, a bit like Niu Bao next to Zhao Yurui.

"In the past few days, you have packed up and are going to Jiangnan West Road."

"Here." Qin Meng was a little surprised, Jiangnan West Road is mainly in the area of ​​Jiangxi in later generations, including part of Hubei.

"All county governments have to reset their bases, rent and purchase properties, and open poker rooms."

"The poker room attracts local tycoons to join in and share profits with officials."

The Qin family's business has spread all over the Song Dynasty, and they have their strongholds, shops, and a complete set of logistics lines everywhere, but after chatting with Zhao Yurui, Qin Zhuo found that he still doesn't know how to do business.

According to Zhao Yurui, the card room will be opened in various parts of the Song Dynasty in the future. Although there is the only golden signboard in the world, it does not mean that it will be safe and sound everywhere.

Therefore, whenever you go to a place, to open a branch, you must first attract local tycoons or officials and people with military power to become shareholders.

The priority is to win over those with military power, followed by officials and powerful.

With the signboard of the emperor's "the only one in the world", as long as they are willing to give up their profits, officials from all over the country will generally not embarrass them.

As long as billiards and mahjong can become popular, it will be much easier to find news everywhere.

Because when people are playing billiards and mahjong, they will inadvertently say a lot of various news.

From now on, the poker room will become the intelligence station of the Qin family and Zhao Yurui.

Qin Zhuo is still very courageous, he mobilized immediately after he came back, sent members of the Qin family to various places, and at the same time declared to them that in the future a man named Yan Xiong (Zhao Yurui's side Zhou Lai) may go to various places Check and arrange manpower, this person will be your head.

You can just call him Brother Xiong. Any orders and arrangements he has are tantamount to my arrangements. No matter what the arrangements are, you must obey them. Everyone in the Qin family nodded their heads.

Qin Zhuo acted swiftly and resolutely. According to Zhao Yurui's request, he arranged arrangements everywhere to expand Zhao Yurui's industry, and at the same time set up an intelligence point, and began to deploy the world.

 The Song Dynasty adopted the Tongshuangmo system, also known as the Shengmo system, that is, paying 770 seven Wen coins, which is counted as one thousand Wen.

  When paying, there are different meanings such as Wensheng and Wenzu. Generally, Wenzu refers to the actual amount of Wenzu paid. For example, three hundred Wenzu means three hundred copper coins. Wensheng refers to Huizi. , refers to the consistent meeting.

  Many systems in the Song and Song dynasties were very complicated, so we simplified them in our online articles. The book mentioned one hundred thousand guan, and tens of thousands of guan. If there is no specific reference, it refers to copper coins.

  Don't worry about how much money is consistent, because you pay 770 coins to replace Yiguan, and you get back 770 Wen to replace Yitong, so Yitong is consistent, don't talk about 770 and [-] Wen, this book is always calculated with [-] Wen .

  The other one refers to one thousand coins. If it is worth one penny, it is one thousand coins. We count it as consistent.If it is five-character denomination, one tangle is five guan.
