Chapter 14 Brand Effect
Wei Ming couldn't figure it out, and neither could Fatty Wang, but there were people who understood.After Wei Ming's investigation, it was discovered that the common people sold grain to the Cao family every year.The Cao family did not owe the people a penny.This is why the common people are willing to sell grain to the Cao family.Very simple, but very practical.Moreover, Wei Ming dragged the government's signboard, which is undoubtedly smashing his own signboard.The imperial court will increase taxes from time to time, making the imperial court no doubt like Zhou in the eyes of the common people.But it is true that Shaanxi is so difficult now, and it has a lot to do with the imperial court.The common people have a certain repulsion towards the imperial court from the heart.Put it together with the golden signboard of the Cao family, and there will be a tragic situation of not being able to harvest grain.

Wei Ming couldn't be bothered by this question.In order to effectively control the people, the feudal rulers basically controlled the people ideologically.The Eight-legged Essay of the Ming Dynasty is a good example.To put it simply, common people are synonymous with ignorance.And because they don't have their own thoughts, the common people are also prone to herd mentality.As long as there is one person who comes to Wei Ming to sell grain, there is no need to worry about the second one.Of course, even the most ignorant people know what is good and what is bad.Let others taste the sweetness.Cash is a good way.The price is high and cash is given. It would be unreasonable if the grain cannot be received.I had a brief discussion with Fatty Wang, found a few trustees, and waited for the grain to be harvested early tomorrow morning.

On the second day, Wei Ming also removed the government's signboard and replaced it with some new faces.The effect really improved a lot.Everyone tasted the sweetness, and more and more people came.This is the case in one place, and with this good beginning, people from all over the world knew about it after inquiring about it.After that, I was only worried about not having enough money, not about not being able to collect food.The name of the Wei family's food harvesting team can be regarded as a name.With this good sign among the public, no matter what you do in the future, it will be much better.This is the benefit of brand effect.However, just relying on the more than 1 taels of silver in the hands of Wei Ming and Fatty Wang is far from being able to meet market demand.This also prevented the conflict between Wei Ming and the Shanxi Cao family from intensifying.Although the Cao family in Shanxi also heard that there was such a number one person as Wei Ming, they didn't pay much attention to it.After that, Wei Ming and Fatty Wang ran out of money, so they had to go out of business.In order to receive food, the Cao family also increased the price of food a lot during the next period.From a certain point of view, under Wei Ming's interference, the lives of common people in Shaanxi should be better this year.

"Little Dongzi, where's the food? Is it still not ready? I'm almost starving to death!" Wei Ming held a pair of chopsticks in his hands, and kept swinging his hands, knocking on the bowls on the table.Ten days of busy days passed, and Wei Ming was free again.Wei Ming also found out that when the grain was harvested, the people living in the wind and sleeping in the open came over.But when he returned to his warm home, he was hungry all day long.Makes him feel weird.However, people are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.You have to eat when you should eat.

"Master, it's almost time, it will be ready soon, just wait a little longer!" Xiao Dongzi's voice came from outside.Then he ran away again.Xiaodongzi is very satisfied with his current life.In the past, he could have a full meal all year round, even if the full meal was only steamed buns, it was enough for him to be happy for a month.But now, not only is there no need to worry about food and drink every day, but the host also gave me new clothes.Especially after the weather has been cold for the past few days, the master's house even distributed cotton coats and trousers to the servants.This was something that was unimaginable before.There is still half a tael of silver to take every month.Now Xiaodongzi has been in Weifu for four months.In four months, he sent all his two taels of silver back home to improve his family's life.After the people in the family knew about Xiaodongzi's experience, they were all envious.Even people in the whole village are asking when the Wei Mansion will recruit people, whether their nephews can enter the Wei Mansion and so on.Xiao Dongzi, who was originally a poor boy, suddenly turned into a serf and sang.His greatest wish now is to be able to serve the master for the rest of his life in Weifu.In return for him being able to give himself such a good life now.So I am very diligent and serious in doing things.It made Wei Ming think all the time, is it too little for such a good boy to only give an internship salary of [-] yuan a month?When the food is sold next year, will the child be given a salary increase or something?

"Oh, brother Wei, it seems that I didn't come in time, you are eating again. Oh, why is the food not ready yet? Hurry up!" Fatty Wang screamed as soon as he entered the door, and sat down on his buttocks. on the stool.But Wei Ming is used to his behavior of not treating himself as an outsider.

"Come here again to take advantage of the meal? Did you get kicked out by your mother-in-law again?" Wei Ming gave Wang Fatty a playful look, and teased.Wei Ming knows how much Fatty Wang has. The 1 taels of silver were thrown out, and basically the family lived in poverty.The daughter-in-law of the Wang family, who was used to the life of a noble lady, was naturally unhappy.And Fatty Wang is also famous for his strict wife management, which can be seen from the fact that he has not taken concubines for so many years.Wei Ming is also quite strange, in the feudal era, there were people who were afraid of his wife, just as rare as not being afraid of his wife in the previous life.

"Hey, that woman has long hair but short sense, so don't be so fussy with her." Then, he grabbed the teapot, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and drank it all in one gulp.Looking at the current Fatty Wang, Wei Ming couldn't help but think of the Kenyan miner in his previous life.

I said don't mention his wife anymore, but he came here today to share his bitterness with Wei Ming, and after drinking another glass of water, he started chattering. "You said that my mother-in-law knew that she didn't have much money at home, but she insisted on buying those expensive spices. She said that it would not taste good if it was not put in the meat. I went, and you said she used to It's not that I haven't eaten it. As for being in a hurry for a few days? When we sell all the food next year, what can I buy for her? Also, I don't know where I heard that the land price is cheap, and I have to buy land again .You said that once I was in business, I didn’t know where I was going tomorrow. What did I buy that thing for? I really don’t understand. Why did I marry such a thing back then!” Saying that, she drank another glass of water .But it seems that this little water can't suppress the grief and indignation in his heart.

"Okay, okay, don't pour bitterness on me. You are not guarding our grain at the granary, why are you running to my house every day!" Wei Ming said.His hands-off shopkeeper is still very conscientious.I don't care.I don't care if it's not under my control.Based on the principle of "nothing but three", Fatty Wang is basically responsible for all major and minor matters.

"Oh, Brother Wei, Brother Wei, I'm here, it's really something." When it came to the business, Fatty Wang suddenly looked embarrassed.The two fat hands rubbed each other, making Wei Ming almost lose the mood to eat.

"Say something quickly, fart quickly, hurry up, old man, what does it look like like this!" Wei Ming looked at Fatty Wang with a look of contempt, and while talking, he brought the food that was just served. A small plate of pickles was placed in front of him.

"What, Brother Wei, brother, I'm in trouble now, and only you can help me! You must promise me!" Fatty Wang hesitated for a moment, but he was still embarrassed to say it.

"Are you going to say it or not? If you don't say it, right? Okay, Xiaodongzi, see off the guests!" Wei Ming yelled, and Xiaodongzi ran in quickly.Xiao Dongzi also understood what happened to Fatty Wang and his master, but he didn't really come to see off the guests.

"Tell me, why don't I say it? Come on, Xiaodongzi, go to the kitchen and see if the food is ready, I'm almost starving to death here!" Fatty Wang may be afraid of losing face, so he hurriedly dismissed Xiaodongzi, and then He whispered: "Brother Wei, brothers are a little tight now, can you lend me some money?"

"How much?" Wei Ming casually said while eating pickles.

"Two taels." Fatty Wang stretched out two fat fingers and said awkwardly.

"What are you borrowing money for?" Wei Ming didn't understand.No matter how poor you are, Fatty Wang, you don’t even have two taels of silver, right?
"I have to buy spices for my mother-in-law! Otherwise, I won't be able to go back today!" Fatty Wang was anxious and slipped his mouth.As soon as I said it, I regretted it and covered my mouth.However, Wei Ming has already heard these words.

"Damn!" Wei Ming couldn't help giving him a big white eye and a middle finger.I have seen someone who is afraid of his wife, but I have never seen someone who is so afraid.Fatty Wang was able to do such a thing in the feudal era, which is considered a miracle.
