Su Wan sat quietly in his seat, waving the fan slowly in his hand, but thinking about this matter in his heart.
She did have a sum of money in her hand, and it was quite a lot. She hid the money before, but she didn't have any idea. She just hid it, and the shop where she did her dowry, and the Jianjia opened in Guiyan City. The building and several shops are making money.
But later on, I felt that there was no point in keeping these things, and I also had some ideas about asking people to help me run the business, but I couldn't find the right person.
It was easy for Li Lin to find such people. Jiu Bian's subordinates could randomly pull out one or two. Even if they were not as good as Jiu Bian, they were not bad either, but she didn't want to use them.
Public is public, private is private. Those people used to work for Licheng and worked hard for their future, but when they came to her, they were working for her personally. She could give them money, but she couldn't give them a future.
So although she had ideas, she didn't want to drag people from the city over to do things for her.
Li Lin naturally saw her thoughts and was secretly looking for a suitable person for her. However, due to various reasons, he was not suitable. Meeting the merchant brothers was a coincidence, but it was also the most suitable person.
The merchant brothers have no worries, and they have offended the clan and cannot survive in the Western Wei Dynasty. Now they have no choice but to come to Eastern Zhao.
Revenge is too long-term, and they have no foundation in Dong Zhao and are fed up with being oppressed by the clan's power. If Su Wan gives him the right amount of money, they will naturally be willing to do so.
Su Wan went back to the dormitory and counted his banknotes. After counting, he found that there were nearly 400,000 taels.
Among them, the 100,000 taels were the apology given by Princess Sui and the Shen family in the past. Some of them were saved in the Yue family's previous shop, and some of them were exchanged by her for the shop with the Duke of Jinning and the Duke of Zhenguo, as well as the marriage. Those I saved when I was married, and those I saved after getting married. .
Moreover, she was raised by her husband's family after she got married. She was raised delicately and had a lot of daily expenses, but she really didn't spend much of her own money. Apart from rewarding the people around her and going shopping to buy some things, there was nothing else. .
With more and more money like this, it would be a pity not to do anything.
If you want her to be in charge of several shops in Guiyan City, there are too many shops, and it is really a bit tiring. If there is someone to help manage it, she herself will be the owner and backer, and she will see it every year at the end of the year. When I look at the account book, it looks really good.
With this in mind, she asked the bamboo extracts to be ground and carefully wrote down the plan. She would discuss it with Li Lin when he came back at night and ask for his opinion.
In the evening, Jingpingyuan held a banquet at the waterside pavilion in the garden to welcome today's guests. The men sat together drinking and chatting, talking about the vastness of the world, while the women drank fruit wine and whispered about the spring, summer, autumn and winter of this world. Fengyue.
Sun Xiang especially loved to read storybooks and listen to the stories of romance in the world. No, after this banquet, he did not have any friendship with Xie Si'an. Instead, he and Zhang Fuer seemed to have met a close friend.
Zhang Fu'er is clever and eccentric. There is nothing in this village and Guiyan City that she doesn't know. Even the story books, she has read many of them. If she wants to make up a story of her own, she can just pick it up.
Sun Xiang was an arrogant and bad-tempered person. She was like an aunt. She had some respect for Li Lin and Su Wan. She didn't look at anyone else seriously, but now she was talking to Zhang Fu'er about making up a storybook.
Su Wan took a sip of the fruit wine and looked at the excitement of the banquet. He was in a good mood and said, "If you want to write a storybook, I have a bookstore in Guiyan City, which sells storybooks."
"In the past, we would just come up with an outline and then let the book writer write it. If Mr. Sun is interested, it would be easy to ask the book writer to come over or sit somewhere in the bookstore."
"That's right, Sister Sun, Madam's bookstore business is very good. Every time a new story book is released, it will be sold out in just one day. If Sister Sun wants to write a story and want others to see it, then The bookstore must be an excellent choice.”
"The previous book "Marrying a Sweet Lady" was the book I wanted to write. It sold well. Madam even asked the bookstore to calculate a sum of money for me."
"Marrying a Sweet Lady" is a storybook thought up by Zhang Fu'er. The story is about a high-ranking young man who wandered into the market and was picked up by a girl from a small clan.
The young master served as a guard for the young lady, and the two secretly had feelings for each other. Later, the young master returned home, took back everything he owned, and married the young lady back home in a glorious manner.
The story is full of pathos, ups and downs, and the relationship between the two of them is even more touching for him. It became very popular in Guiyan City, and even in the Imperial City. Zhang Fuer also got a lot of money because of this script.
The bookstore also has regulations for the division of the book. For the money sold for a book, the cost of the paper accounts for two-tenths, and the writer accounts for two-tenths.
The person who came up with the story only provided a summary and did not need to expend much effort. Therefore, if the book writer adopts this outline, the bookstore will pay half of the money to the person who came up with the story.
Although half a percent is not a lot, if you sell a lot of books, it will still be a lot of money.
Sun Xiang was really excited: "That's really good. The literary talent of the book writer in Madam's shop must be good. I will go and see it myself when the time comes."
"What's so difficult about this? It's only an hour's journey from this village to Guiyan City. If you don't know someone well, just ask Fu'er to accompany you when the time comes. She always likes to run around."
Zhang Fu'er stuck out his tongue and smiled. He single-handedly made the people sitting at the table laugh from ear to ear. He was really a happy nut.
Sun Xiang slowly drank the fruit wine, looked at the people sitting at the table with a smile, then looked at the starry sky, and finally shook his head and smiled.
This day seems not to be called good, but it is not bad.
After the banquet dispersed at night, Su Wan was writing the unfinished plan during the day at the table under the light of the palace lantern. Li Lin finished taking a bath, wearing white pajamas and holding a book on the wooden couch opposite the desk. Sit down and read a book.
Su Wan was so absorbed in writing that she didn't notice his presence at all. When she finished writing and looked up, she saw a person sitting opposite.
"Why are you here? What time is it?"
"It's almost Haishi."
Su Wan stretched out her hand and yawned, then stood up: "No wonder you are so sleepy."
In ancient times, there was little activity at night, and most people lay down to rest at this time.
She blew the paper dry, then walked over with it and handed it to him: "How do you see the plan I wrote?"
