Chapter 101 Going South (Part [-])

Master Yao's eyes lit up, he nodded and smiled unconsciously, "That's not an idea." In addition to the royal and royal use of the cloth produced by Zhizao Mansion every year, a large part of it is specially used for export. People have more experience in dealing with them than they do!With the help of the Xie family, at least he will have more confidence.

I just don't know, will the Xie family underestimate the Yao family because of this?After all, the two families have just become in-laws, and their friendship is not very deep.

"Hui'er will test the Xie family's attitude first, and then discuss with shopkeeper Lin to consider how to deal with this matter. According to Huier's idea, although we have to ask the Xie family for help, we can't give them a kind of low-key flattery. The feeling of pleading, our Yao family is not like that."

Moreover, my sister is still living in Xie's family. If everyone in the Xie family underestimates my sister because of this, how will my sister live in the future?Yao Cunhui thought so in his heart.

"Hui'er's words are exactly what Daddy wants!" Master Yao felt relieved, his brows relaxed, he smiled and nodded again and again, and said earnestly: "Hui'er must always remember that being neither humble nor overbearing can win people's respect and sincerity. It will only make people feel contemptuous! We can take advantage of the Xie family's status, but we must not lower our status. In this way, the relationship between the two parties can be long-term. Don't put your attitude too low. That's the reason."

Back then, when he married the daughter of Yun Xiang's family, all the Yun family thought that the Yao family was asking for a favor and treated him with contempt.He finally won the acceptance of the Yun family and the approval of Yun Xiang by relying on the words of being neither humble nor overbearing, hard and soft, and successfully borrowed the power of the Yun family to make the business bigger and bigger.After the Yun family passed away, the Yun family never alienated the Yao family.

At that time, it was much more difficult than it is now. Every step has to be carefully thought out, and every shot must be just right, neither making people feel rude nor trying to flatter. Inference, nothing can go wrong, and he has never made a mistake.

When others make a mistake, everyone laughs it off, and it may become a celebrity anecdote because of it; when he makes a mistake, it is a joke!Who said that everyone is a noble family with profound background and he is just a businessman?

He clearly remembered that that year Yun Xiang was ordered to provide disaster relief to Anhui, but all the food was destroyed by a sudden flash flood on the way. Quickly transported to the disaster area, not enough to spend a lot of money to buy.

The food finally arrived on the last day of the disaster relief period. At that time, the people in the disaster-stricken area were passionate and the people were irritable.

It was after this incident that the Yun family completely changed their views on him and truly accepted him.The Yun family knew very well what the consequences would be if they failed to follow orders. The superior person would not listen to explanations such as mountain torrents and natural accidents of incapacity. Dismissal from office was the lightest punishment.If someone with a heart takes the opportunity to implicate and frame him, it is not impossible to ransack his family and destroy his family.

With the Yun family's overt and covert help, the Yao family's business was able to rise and expand in the Northland unimpeded, and finally reached the situation it is today.

But today, they will face a new test!
"Hui'er understands, thank you for your teaching." Yao Cunhui respectfully agreed, deeply accepting Master Yao's words from the bottom of her heart.

"Hui'er said he wanted to buy land? But what's your idea?" Master Yao asked again with a smile.Originally, he was not interested in listening, but now, he changed his mind and felt that it was necessary to listen, because this daughter can always surprise him unexpectedly.

Yao Cunhui cheered up, and said with a smile: "Hui'er never thought about buying the land in Jinling. Just like my father said, the land in Jinling is too expensive, and secondly, if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. It's not the best plan! Hui'er What I want to buy is the land around Huxiang."

"Huxiang?" Master Yao was stunned, he seemed to have never had the impression of this place in his mind, he thought for a while before hesitantly said: "Hui'er said, but the lake town in the water town southeast of Taihu Lake? "

After all, Master Yao is a businessman who has read many books. After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that there is such a place.

"It's right there." Yao Cunhui nodded happily.

Hu Township, which should be called Huzhou in later generations, is a famous land of fish and rice beside Taihu Lake. There was a folk song that "Suhu is cooked, the world is full". The "hu" refers to Huzhou, and its rich fish and rice can be seen One spot.

However, that’s a later story. At this time, Huzhou, as Master Yao said, is a barren land of rivers and lakes, sparsely populated, and desolate. If the Grand Canal does not pass by and is close to Taihu Lake, it must be Master Yao may not remember this place either.

Yao Cunhui was shocked and surprised when she read this place from the regional annals. She never thought that the affluent Huzhou turned out to be such a barren place. Then, her eyes lit up again, and her heart beat. This was what God gave her. The perfect opportunity to turn barrenness into a granary, isn't it?

"The land over there, what's the use of buying it?" Master Yao thought it was absurd, and gave Yao Cunhui a strange look.

If she hadn't come up with such a good idea before, Master Yao would think that she hadn't woken up and came to him talking nonsense, so he would definitely reprimand her a few words.

"Father, listen to me first." Yao Cunhui said, "It's true that there is a land of water, but as long as the water is drained, wouldn't it be a good fertile land? You must know that every year, the miscellaneous crops there The grass grows and dies, dies and regenerates, rotting and piled up layer by layer, the soil is so fertile! It is just right for rice planting! Moreover, it is also in the south, so there must be no problem in terms of climate, and the transportation is close to the Grand Canal , it is the right time and place, that place will become a good place that everyone seeks sooner or later, Dad, if you don’t make a move now, it will be too late in three or two years! If you do it now, it will not cost much money. Once it succeeds in the future, it will be a lucrative deal!"

Master Yao couldn't help being a little moved. As a businessman, he understood better than others what it means to "seize the opportunity and act first". When everyone sees the benefits, it will be too late to act. Successful businessman's style.However, he really felt a little embarrassed for him to make this determination all at once.

"Buy the land there now, and spend half a year draining and sorting it out. We can try planting it next year. By then, we can teach the enemy that our Yao family is not so easy to bully!" Yao Cunhui said again.

Master Yao was heartbroken and asked, "How much land do you plan to buy?"

Yao Cunhui was overjoyed, and said: "Of course, the more the better, but it depends on how much money we can use to make a decision. Nowadays, the top-notch fertile land is six or seven taels per mu. In such a barren land, I'm afraid seven or eight dollars is enough." It's over the sky, my daughter thinks, at least I have to buy a hundred and eighty thousand mu first!"

Anyway, if you don't buy it, you don't buy it for nothing, there is a lot of room for appreciation in the future!Yao Cunhui added a sentence in her heart.

"You—" Master Yao was stunned, unable to recover for a while, the total fertile land of the Yao family is only five thousand mu, and she said it was one hundred and eighty thousand mu!What a big tone!

Master Yao couldn't help laughing out loud, shook his head, laughed and sighed, and said, "Hui'er, Hui'er, Daddy thinks he's brave in business, but I didn't expect you to be more courageous than Daddy." It's such a big circle!" It's overseas and it's the water town of Zeguo, Master Yao doesn't know what else she dares not think about!
Yao Cunhui smiled embarrassingly, looked at Master Yao with bright eyes and said with a smile: "Then, did Dad agree?"

Master Yao smiled and said, "Don't just think about buying land, what will happen after you buy it? Have you ever thought about it? Customized purchase of various farm tools, cattle, drainage, land preparation, seed purchase, seedling cultivation, field management Do you have any plans for harvesting, drying, warehousing, etc.? Just hiring workers is not so easy to do! Leaving aside the series of costs, where can you hire people that you can use? ? How to arrange their food, clothing, housing and transportation? How to manage them on weekdays? Huier, Huier, this is not a one-sentence question."

Yao Cunhui also frowned slightly, but immediately said: "Hui'er has thought about what Dad said, but Hui'er doesn't know the market price, and is going to the south to inquire carefully. Dad, we don't have time There are not many things, but there are many things, so it is even more early to make up your mind! No matter how difficult it is, we should give it a try, shouldn't we?"

Master Yao couldn't help being moved, his eyes sparkled, as if it had been many years, and he hadn't felt this kind of excitement, high spirits, and daring to fight for heaven for many years!Today, that feeling swept over again, enveloping his entire soul, making him unable to restrain himself for a while.

Yes, no matter how difficult it is, you have to try it before you know it!When did Yao Nianyi become timid?

Master Yao's eyes froze, he stared at Yao Cunhui for a moment, and said in a deep thought: "Father Rong is more concerned about it, don't tell others about this matter and the purchase of grain. Don't go south tomorrow, let's talk about it in two days."

"Yes, Dad!" Yao Cunhui was overjoyed, knowing that Dad was going to make a budget.In other words, this matter has been considered a success.

The father and daughter kept the two things secret, but Yao Cunhui went south to visit her pregnant sister, but Master Yao had a serious discussion with Mrs. Ma.

The daughter is going to go far away, so the mother naturally has to know.Besides, this is something that should be done aboveboard.

"Master really intends to let Hui'er go to Xie's house to see Jia'er?" Mrs. Ma was stunned, and immediately understood what Master Yao meant. He was worried about Yao Cunjia and asked Yao Cunhui to check it out in person.
