Chapter forty-ninth making money and seeking the way

Fanning has lived a relatively difficult life for both lives, and his desire for money has been deeply imprinted in his heart.

Although there is a golden house in the book, it refers to the various treatments after becoming a high-ranking official. However, since Fan Ning witnessed that Ouyang Xiu, who became a high-ranking official, could not afford a house.

Fanning did not expect that he would make money by becoming an official in the future.

Money is a good thing. With money, his grandmother can live to be over 80 years old and grow some of her own side dishes in her spare time.

With money, my parents can live in a garden mansion like the Zhu family. My father doesn’t have to run around like a cow, and my mother can also send her clothes to the laundry shop without worrying about her livelihood.

There were many ways to make money in the Song Dynasty, but not only did you have to make a lot of money, but you could also gain a reputation as a scholar without being stinking to the smell of money. There were not many opportunities.

But Fanning knew in his previous life that there were two such opportunities, one was publishing and the other was literary works.

Zhou Lin took him to the ornamental stone path.

Fan Ning once estimated Zhou Lin's wealth. If he transported nearly 1,000 ornamental stone fine products to the capital for auction, he would be able to sell at least 300,000 yuan.

Who would have thought that the gentle and elegant Zhou Lin had such a huge wealth in his collection of stones, and the capital he spent was only 15,000 stagnant.

After entering the school, Fan Ning finally deeply understood that the scholastic scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty had reached an unparalleled level of enthusiasm for ornamental stones.

Even the things the emperor gave him were a string of gems. Song Huizong Zhao Ji wanted to dig all the Taihu stones into his palace.

The literati and officials were fanatical about chasing stones and were addicted to appreciating stones. Rich businessmen and great businessmen also followed suit. The love of strange stones by the literati and poets of the Song Dynasty and the great merchants and great merchants had reached a state of mind.

Fanning had a thousand years of experience than the people of the Song Dynasty. He believed that he could make a new way to make a fortune in ornamental stones.

Walk your own way and leave future generations with no way to go.

But Fanning also knew that this matter should not be urgent, so he had to take it slowly.















At this time, Fan Ning was walking through the strange stone alley. He was already very familiar with this two-mile-long alley. Many vendors also knew him. This little guy had some knowledge and was lucky.

Fan Ning became familiar with the strange stone alley and found that it was too difficult to buy some good things here. Most of the Taihu stones here are of medium and low quality, and even he didn't like them, let alone the old man Zhou Lin.

There are very few top-quality products, and even more rare. As for the best, the Thousand Cave Stone last time was the best, and it is really hard to come by.

If one or two top-quality items appear by chance, they will be quickly intercepted by large stores.

There are not many high-quality products in large stores, mainly the above products. Although there are a lot of them, the price is disheartening.

Fanning can't afford it, even if he can afford it, there is no profit to buy it.

After all, these big shops such as the Strange Stone Museum have been in operation for decades, and they control the source of goods and customers.

Fanning only has Zhou Lin, a high-end customer and has no source of supplies, so she can only play with her amateurs.

"Uncle Li, are there any good items in the bag?"

Fanning walked up to a fat black vendor and smiled and flipped through his bag.

This black fat vendor was the vendor who received the best thousand-dragon stone last time. He was from Jiangdun, Guangfu Township, and was named Li Amao. He was a stone dealer. He bought Taihu stones from farmers around Taihu Lake for many years, and then came to set up a stall to make a profit.

Fan Ning told him that he sold the Taihu stone for ten cents last time, but Li Amao was not angry. He bought the stone for fifty cents and sold it to the scholar for two cents, making 40 times more profitable.

Fan Ning repurchased money from the scholar, and sold it ten times, which was normal.

If that stone is real, it will be worth ten cents of money.

As for selling 200 taels of silver, it is not something that the lower class people like him can imagine.

Fanning found another top-grade Lingbi stone from him last time and gave it to Zhu Pei. The stinky girl refused to admit it and refused to return it to him, which really annoyed Fanning.

Li Amao quickly covered his bag and said, "Go! Go! Go! I don't have any good things here. I lost the last time that Lingbi stone, so you have to make up for another 500 cents."

Fanning, however, had quick eyes and quick hands, took out a round stone the size of a grapefruit.

"What kind of stone is this?"

Li Amao glanced at the stone and said carelessly: "This! This is Shoushan Stone, used for carving seals. If you want it, you will sell it to you at a cheap price."

Fan Ning had the urge to beat Li Amao hard. What he got was clearly a top-quality Tianhuangshi, and he actually sold it to him at a cheap price.

However, this is not a fault with Li Amao. Although Shoushan Stone was used as carving material in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it did not become popular until the Yuan Dynasty. As for Tianhuang Stone, its value would not increase by tens of millions of times until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the Song Dynasty, there were not many people who liked it, and it was an unpopular collection of stones.

Stone dealers like Li Amao at least know that it is called Shoushan Stone, and most people will only use it to repair houses.

Zhou Lin is a rare person who likes Shoushan Stone and knows the ornamental value of Tianhuangshi. Fan Ning saw a top-quality Tianhuangshi, the size of a water tank, in his warehouse.

"How much does this stone cost?"

Fan Ning did not deliberately belittle Tian Huangshi in his hands. There is no need. Since Li Amao said he would sell it to himself at a cheap price, the price would not exceed 300 cents.

"We are old acquaintances, and I don't want more. You can take away two hundred cents."

This stone was collected by Li Amao for ten cents. He thought he was good-looking and set up a stall.

But after three days of placing it, no one cared about it. He took back the bag in the afternoon, but Fanning turned it out.

"It's too expensive. My money is scraped from my teeth. Do you want me two hundred dollars?"

"Then how much do you give?"

"Twenty words at most!"

"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go and play."

Li Amao reached out to grab the stone, but Fan Ning refused to give it to him. He suddenly found that there was a Taihu stone on the stall that looked very familiar, so he quickly grabbed it.

"Uncle, is this Taihu stone real?"

"How do you kid say this? Why isn't this stone real? Someone came to buy it in the Stone Museum just now, so I won't sell it to them. If you want it, it should not be less than three guan."

Fan Ning looked at the Taihu stone carefully and immediately understood why he felt familiar. This stone looked similar to Fan Kuan's "Traveling in the Streams" and there was actually a white line in the middle, which was a thousand-foot waterfall! If you plant a little more moss on it, it would be exactly the same.

Unfortunately, Li Amao was not educated and had never read "The Travel Map of the Stream", otherwise he would have made a fortune. Of course, there were only a handful of people in the Song Dynasty who had the opportunity to read "The Travel Map of the Stream of the Stream".

However, even if there is no "Traveling in the Stream", just the majestic shape of this Taihu stone is still a top-quality Taihu stone.

At this time, Fan Ning saw the shopkeeper Li of the strange stone museum hurriedly coming here.

He immediately took out three silver tanned children weighing one or two and threw them to Li Amao, and pointed at Tian Huangshi.

"This Shoushan stone is the matchmaker?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you!"

"Uncle, I'm urged to pee, let's go first."

Fanning quickly put two stones into a cloth bag, turned around and ran away.

"This brat is rich!"

Li Amao pinched a few taels of silver, and put her eyes on her arms with a smile.

At this time, Manager Li from the Strange Stone Museum hurried over with his friend.

"Shopkeeper, it's here!"

Manager Li looked around the stall, but he didn't see the top-quality Taihu stone that the guy mentioned.

"Where is the stone?"

The guy was also stunned, he was still here just now!

"Old Li, where is the stone just now?"

"What stones? I'm all stones."

The guy stuttered for a while: "It's just that I said... there's a bit of a flaw."

"Sold!"

Li Amao glared at him coldly, "Since you say there are flaws, I'll sell it cheaply!"

Manager Li was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly turned around and slapped his friend hard.

"You are a fool who is not enough to make trouble!"

The guy hugged his head and said aggrievedly: "You taught us what you said! If you want to say there are flaws, you can buy it at a low price."

Manager Li wanted to drag this idiot back and beat him up, but now he is more concerned about the Taihu stone, as powerful as Mount Tai, which can definitely be sold for fifty coins at a high price!

He asked with a smile: "Old Li, we are also our family. We can't write two characters Li in one stroke. How can you tell me who did you sell that stone to?"

Manager Li hopes that the buyer will not know the goods and buy it back by himself.

Li Amao did not dare to offend the strange stone museum too much. He said, "You guys, I said the stone has flaws, which made me feel disheartened. Just as Fan Xiaoguan came over, he took a look at the stone and I sold it to him at a cheap price."
