Dingguo

Chapter 37 It's actually very simple

"Little girl, Ren Yingying, salute Mr. Su..." The solemnity of this salute is a bit like a teacher. 【】

He waved his hand, took out a few sheets of paper from the books, handed them to Ren Yingying and said, "Fresh fish must be marinated to taste; marinated fish should be served with secret sauces to enhance the flavor. It is even more unique. These are all formulas, and cannot be passed on to the outside world. Once memorized, they will be burned. Do you understand?"

Ren Yingying took the paper and nodded.

"If there is anything you don't understand, just ask Yu'er, she will teach you... After you learn it, come to me again, and I have a few more words to tell you...Okay, you go..."

"Oh..." Ren Yingying didn't expect the beginning and the end of the matter, that's all.

Could it be that what I thought before was superfluous?There were many ideas before.

I always feel that his craft may not be good, and I don’t necessarily have to learn this craft from him; I also thought about how I will deal with him once he puts forward conditions, where is my bottom line, and what kind of conditions I can accept at most... But these are all No, the skill was so good that she wanted to learn it right away.Although she doesn't have any business acumen, it is enough for her to think that if this fried fish nugget is on the market, it must be a hundred times better than her buying steamed buns.

She didn't expect that he took out the most critical part of the craft without asking any conditions at all.

It can barely be regarded as a condition, but the requirement that the formula cannot be passed on.But this request, no matter what, seems to be for her own sake... One thing that surprised her was his tone of voice.It seems that he is a friend who has known him for many years, and he seems to be his brother... There is no tone of discussion in the words, just explain the matter naturally, you just need to follow it... It makes people feel that everything is an arrangement Well, it's like there's no need to worry about it at all... She didn't know why she listened to him so much. From the beginning to the end, everything was beyond her expectation, but it happened so naturally.

Until she walked out of his study and walked into the kitchen, she felt like a dream.

He didn't think as much as Ren Yingying. This matter was just a small matter for him and didn't require too much energy. Therefore, after arranging Ren Yingying's affairs, he took the pole to go Fishing.Recently, the two old men fell in love with coming to the East Lake to drink tea. Once they arrived at the lake, they gathered around the stone table to drink tea and chat. The fish did not see the two of them fishing in a serious manner a few times.

When he came, the two old men had been discussing a topic for some time, which seemed to be about Lin Hailu, the governor of Wuling County. He didn't participate in their topic, but just sat down by the lake by himself and started fishing.

Mr. Zhou stopped fishing after drinking tea, and led his servants back home. Mr. Sheng had not had enough fun, and accompanied him to fish by the lake... until the sun was westward, the two of them collected their poles together, and Mr. Sheng The old man was not in a hurry to leave, and said to him, "I heard that some taxes in the city need to be adjusted, especially the taxes on cloth and silk."

Sheng Lao's so-called hearing should be inseparable.If that is the case, the largest cloth merchant in the city will undoubtedly suffer a huge blow, and the Su family is the largest cloth merchant in Wuling City.

Although the Su family's business is not only in Wuling City, if the control over the cloth in Wuling City is reduced due to the sudden increase in taxes, the consequences will also be serious.

If a businessman cannot maintain stability in his own back garden, it will be difficult to expand outward.Wuling City is the foundation of the Su family, and it is also the base for cultivating talents of the Su family. Without this foundation, it is like a towering tree without roots. I, he has experienced many such things, so he naturally understands the seriousness of the problem.Although he doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the Su family, his current restrained life comes from the Su family. To protect the Su family is of course to protect himself.

But for him, the problem may not be as serious as he thought.The crux of the problem lies in two aspects. First, is this tax increase a unified action by the government?It's just the words of the Wuling City Sheriff's family.Secondly, if it is the words of a family in Wuling City, is the Lin County Sheriff's move intentionally targeting the entire cloth industry, or is it intentionally targeting the Su family?

Only by understanding the real situation here can the Su family have the right countermeasures.

These thoughts just flashed through his mind, so fast that he didn't even have time to stop them.Therefore, as soon as Sheng Lao's voice fell, he understood the possible impact of this matter.

Hey, even if you pass through this kind of strange power, the thinking mode of the visitor cannot be obliterated... Sheng is so old that he smiled and asked involuntarily, "I remember that Ningyuan's little friend's house is in the cloth business. Bar?"

"Oh, yes. The tax increase this time may have some impact. I don't know if it will be a one-city adjustment in Wuling City, or a nationwide adjustment?"

"I'm afraid it's just Wuling City..."

"Oh, I don't know how much higher it will be than before?"

"After all the calculations, it is estimated that it can account for [-]% of the purchase price...Compared to the original, it has increased by more than two times..."

This startled him. Taxes accounted for 20.00% of the purchase price. What is the difference between this and robbery?Although the Feng Dynasty emphasized agriculture over merchants, and always paid heavy taxes on merchants, cloth was originally a civilian commodity, not a high-profit item. [-]% of the purchase price was deducted as tax, and merchants’ transportation costs were also deducted. cost, manpower cost.Merchants work hard to do business, and they still need to earn a little money.The direct consequence of this tax increase is to force the price of cloth to rise... Although he has not participated in the family business, he knows the business experience well.If the government raises the tax points, the merchants will inevitably digest these tax points in the market. However, under the atmosphere of natural economy, the prices of daily-use things sometimes do not rise once in ten years. If the price of cloth rises overnight [-]%, the government is bound to intervene to suppress cloth prices.

Heavy taxes have to be imposed, and cloth prices have to be suppressed. Cloth merchants can only operate at a loss, or withdraw from the market.Unless the officials let the price of cloth go up and don't care about it... is it possible?

Of course it is impossible, because this time, Lin Hailu, the prefect of Wuling City, is probably here for the Su family.

Only Wuling City had such a tax increase, and the main target of the tax increase was the cloth and silk business.Make people believe that this is not aimed at the Su family, only fools will believe it... Only those who don't know much about the world will believe those bluffing excuses... "Oh, this thing is a bit interesting..."

"It's just interesting?" Mr. Sheng looked at Su San still with a calm face, thinking that he didn't understand what he said... He chuckled, "It's better not to talk about these... Me, just teach and teach, I'm free When it comes to fishing, business matters, I have my family to think about it, I have the strength of my heart..."

Gongsun Sheng gave Su San a serious look, thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile, was he meddling in his own business, and he didn't appreciate it?

When he came to Gongsun Sheng, he laughed at himself, guessed a little bit of the old man's thoughts, and said, "By the way, the boy has made some new food, and I will send Yu'er to the house later... But, this matter must be kept secret first." Monk."

"You boy, have you figured it out a long time ago? If the old man hadn't said a word today, you probably wouldn't have shown it..."

He didn't explain, but said with a smile, "In the past few days, I have already found a disciple. After a while, there will be this thing all over the street. Mr. Sheng should taste it first, and improve the deficiencies... "

"There will be everywhere in the street? I'm quite confident, so I want to try it..."
