Chapter 40 Money
The days that followed were peaceful and everything was going in an orderly manner. The money and food allocated by the prefect's office were also arrived, which was very happy. The credits for tax reduction and exemption and disaster relief were also handed over, and the Jiuqu River embankment began to be renovated. Although it could not be completely rebuilt, it could be well repaired, and there should be no problems in the short term.
Ge Dan is a man who is dealing with matters in the county government. There are a lot of things accumulated these days, so Ge Dan becomes busy.
That night, Ge Dan, who had been busy for a whole day, finally returned to the room. There was a large box in the room, neatly packed with silver ingots.
He reached out and picked up a person and was confused. Ge Dan sighed. It was the first time he had seen so much money in two lives. These money was all Ge Dan gained in the fake Wangzhi incident this time. He didn't want any antique cultural relics. They were all things with the masters. Maybe there would be some trouble in the future. It would be better not to have them, otherwise things would be easy to happen.
Gedan took silver and gold. He took eight thousand taels of silver and three thousand taels of gold. This was Gedan's first start-up capital.
If Ge Dan didn't take this money, they wouldn't be able to get back to the people. Ge Dan was short of his first pot of gold now, so he naturally took the money.
If you want to be a high-ranking official, you must be supported by money. This is true in any dynasty. What Ge Dan needs to do now is to create a wealth behind you that supports you. Once you go to another place to become an official, money can give you political achievements, drive local economy, and use it to support local culture and education, such as establishing academies.
How did the Donglin Party form such a large force? It is not because there are a group of people waving flags and shouting in front of them, and there are a lot of financial supporters behind them.
Originally, Ge Dan was thinking about hatching eggs and raising chickens. One was to give the victims a way out, and the other was to accumulate some funds for himself to complete his original capital accumulation. Now it seems that he can completely skip this step. He doesn’t have to do anything about raising chickens and raising eggs, and he can consider doing other things. Starting to quickly improve his wealth, this is the most important thing.
If you want to quickly increase your wealth, it is particularly important to choose an industry. A side door like a brothel casino is naturally the most profitable.
But the water in these two industries is too deep, and those who know who are standing behind them, and there are salt merchants and maritime merchants. Needless to say, salt merchants, as for maritime merchants, they are smuggling in this era. Ge Dan didn't want to participate in these two industries. After choosing for a long time, Ge Dan couldn't find a suitable business for him. In the end, Ge Dan could only sigh helplessly: "It seems that I can really take the old path of other time travelers!"
The so-called old ways for other time travelers are just a few, making glass and making perfumes, first of all, glass. There are quite a few Ming glasses in this era. Originally, the glass manufacturing industry in the Ming Dynasty was not good, but when the eunuch of Sanbao Zheng He went to the West, he caught many people, all of whom were pioneers of the glass manufacturing industry, and the glass manufacturing industry in the Ming Dynasty made rapid progress.
Of course, there is no problem with glassware, but there is no glass mirror. The glass mirror will definitely not bring Ge Dan the first wealth.
"After so many time travelers have summarized it, this is the most suitable time travelers to make money!" Ge Dan originally wanted to find a different approach, but finally gave up decisively, and chose to follow the path pioneered by the old predecessors. Of course, Ge Dan did business not just for business, but for making a lot of money and then paving the way for his own official road.
Since you have embarked on this official road, then go forward, walk well, go far, and go where no one has ever walked.
Ge Dan is not only interested in whether he can continue to do business. First, he has a background, and second, he is not really trying to make money. If someone wants to cooperate with him, Ge Dan is still willing to divide the business. Of course, the person who comes to cooperate must have this strength, and this is the key. Anyway, Ge Dan decided to start with the glass mirror.
Because of the light and brain, Ge Dan is very clear about how to make glass. Just a little search is enough, and this is not difficult at all.
"Master, this money!" Qingxiu walked out of the room, looked at the big box on the ground, and couldn't help asking.
"Like it?" Ge Dan smiled and picked up a big gold ingot and said with a smile: "These are all scams, all of which are hard-earned money from the people. If I hadn't wanted to do something bigger, I wouldn't have received this money. But I'll pay it back in the future. Now you can't give it to you, but when I make money, I'll give you more and buy whatever I like."
Women's money is easy to make. People in later generations understand this principle. Ge Dan is now ready to attack women's money.
Qing Xiu walked beside Ge Dan, smiled and held Ge Dan's hand, and then said, "If Lang wants to be a corrupt official, I will accompany Lang."
Ge Dan turned to look at Qingxiu and sighed helplessly. Your mistress is coming. You can't be like this! Looking at the sky outside, Ge Dan reached out to close the lid of the box, and then hit a hache: "It's getting late, let's take a break early!" As he said that, Ge Dan pulled Qingxiu and walked into the room. He has been busy these days and is really tired.
The next morning, Ge Dan got up early one morning, and after breakfast, he continued to practice swords with Ge Wu. These days, Ge Dan was very attentive in practicing swords. With the cooperation of light and brain, Ge Dan made rapid progress.
After practicing the sword technique, Ge Dan called Ge Lin. While drinking tea, Ge Dan said to Ge Lin: "Uncle Lin, I have some business here and want to find a reliable person. Uncle Lin knows who is more reliable in the family?"
Ge Dan wants to find someone to be responsible for the mirror business, so of course he needs to find a suitable candidate. Loyalty is naturally the first thing to consider. Otherwise, if someone runs away in the future, wouldn’t he be in vain? It is naturally the best to choose one from home, and there are also many people in the Ge family.
Green thought for a while and asked, "Young Master, how big is this business?"
After hearing Ge Lin’s question, Ge Dan was slightly stunned and then asked, “What do you mean by Uncle Lin?”
"Young Master, if this business is small, just find a servant in the family. If it is a big business, then you have to find someone in the family." Ge Lin stroked his beard and said, "The young master and the master are both officials, and some are not convenient. Don't there still have second and third bedrooms in the family? Our Ge family is not a small family. The Ge family in Raozhou is also famous."
