Chapter 204: Unsparing Teaching

"Are you hit so hard?" Lv Songli looked at the dejected people, "If money is so easy to make, it wouldn't be your turn to make it."

Wu Ren, Liu Erxi and others thought about it and it was true.

It was all because the journey was too smooth, and they were floating. At the same time, they also forgot how difficult it was to accomplish something and make some money in the past. Hardships and difficulties are the way they should go. There are really few people like the Sixth Young General and the Sixth Young Lady who can hit the target with one shot.

If Lv Songli knew what they were thinking, she would definitely tell them that she hit the target with one shot, because she had deduced countless possibilities in her mind, and then rejected them one by one, leaving only the most feasible plan.

Wu Ren remembered that when they went out to collect medicinal materials today, the Sixth Young Lady asked them to bring fewer carriages and more people. Obviously, she had seen that there was a problem in Wuliu County and predicted the result of their trip. I want to learn such foresight.

So he humbly asked, "Sixth Young Madam, how do you know that we will not get anything in Wuliu County?"

Lv Songli smiled, "You guys have some harvest, right? This is not called a total loss, right?"

Wu Ren and Liu Erxi looked at her with resentment, "Sixth Young Madam, please stop talking, five carriages were dispatched, and none of them was full, it's embarrassing, too embarrassing."

Lv Songli was almost amused by them, "Since you want to know, then I will tell you."

Seeing that Sixth Young Madam was standing hard, Wu Ren looked around.

At this time, Qin Sheng brought a long bench without knowing when.

Lv Songli smiled at him, then sat on it, slightly adjusted her skirt, she did have a lot to say next, and a bench was just right for her to sit on.

Qin Sheng stood behind her, couldn't help but straighten his chest, and glanced at Wu Ren, young man, I know you can handle things, but, you can't do my job!

Wu Ren didn't receive the resentment of his future master at all. He pulled Liu Erxi and Luo Tieniu to sit in front.

The others who followed also sat down. They also wanted to know where the problem was.

The brothers of Yang Wei Escort Agency also gathered around. Who doesn't want to learn how to make money?

Zhou Da also pulled Ma Jin to sit behind them. In just one meal, he found that Hu Guangcong knew a lot of things.

For a moment, Zhou Da felt a sense of crisis. Learn, you must learn! As long as you don't die from learning, learn to death!

Later, he will squeeze Hu Guangcong. Whatever he has learned along the way, he must show him everything!

Seeing this, the Qin family also came over with interest and stood at the outermost edge.

When the others saw this, they consciously made way for them.

Lv Songli called out Lu Wei from Yang Wei Escort Agency, "Tell everyone about what I asked you to find out about today in the teahouse outside Wuliu County."

Lu Wei looks very down-to-earth, simple-minded, and not aggressive, which makes it easy for people to let down their guard. He is the most suitable person to find out information.

Today, they passed through Wuliu County and stopped at a teahouse not far from the city gate to rest for a while.

Lu Wei took the opportunity to ask the shopkeeper's waiters about the situation of the local time-honored brands. Moreover, the reasons for his inquiry were ready. He was going back to Chang'an City and wanted to go to the local time-honored brands to bring some specialties as souvenirs for his relatives.

The other party hesitated for a long time before recommending him one or two old stores.

But when he asked how many years these two stores had been open, he learned that only one store had been open for four or five years, and there were not many such stores in Wuliu County.

Later, when Lu Wei was chatting with them, he talked about the case in Liucheng. Whether it was the shopkeeper or the waiter, including the guests in the teahouse at that time, their reactions were all very surprised.

After listening to Lu Wei's words, everyone was still a little confused. Wu Ren asked without shame, "Sixth Young Master's wife, is there any truth in this?"

In fact, when he listened, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but when he thought about it carefully, he found nothing.

There were many people who felt the same as him.

Lu Songli answered him, "We are in a place where we are unfamiliar with the place. We can't just jump in and do business, right?"

Wu Ren and Liu Erxi looked at each other, huh? Can't? They just jumped in. And Sixth Young Master's wife had done this with them before.

Lu Songli: "If you jump into a pool of water, you may get your head broken and bloody." Because there may be more than fish in it, there may also be great white sharks. You must not be reckless, otherwise you will lose all your money and you will cry.

Wu Ren, Liu Erxi and the brothers who went out to purchase medicinal materials today all looked embarrassed, and felt that the Sixth Young Master's wife was talking about them.

Wu Ren asked, "Then how do you judge whether a place can do business?"

"You asked a good question. To judge whether a place can do business, it depends on whether the place abides by the rules and whether it is reasonable. These can be seen from the following three aspects." Lu Songli continued, "Places that abide by the rules and reason can do big business. Otherwise, it is better to stay put."

Lu Songli began to break them down, "The three aspects I just mentioned. First, let's see whether there are many local brothels, pleasure boats, and temple fairs, and whether they are prosperous enough."

"If all these are present and prosperous enough, it means that the local government officials are not old-fashioned, and their thoughts are relatively open-minded, allowing everyone to make money and enjoy."

"If none of these, or very few, or even the government officials are famous for emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, it means that the government officials are relatively conservative and old-fashioned, and do not allow everyone to make money in his territory, or they may not be able to take the money away."

Qin Yan found that the sixth brother's wife did not change her expression when she mentioned these things. He looked at his eldest brother, then at his third brother and sixth brother, and found that they were calm, obviously they were used to such situations.

The audience was thoughtful.

Only the three brothers of the Qin family, as well as a small group of people such as Wu Ren and Liu Erxi, felt that it made sense, but it was different from the situation in Wuliu County.

"This one is actually not very applicable to the area where we are now, but it is applicable to the heartland of the Central Plains and the prosperous areas of Jiangnan." Regarding this one, Lu Songli explained.

The three brothers of the Qin family, as well as a small group of people such as Wu Ren and Liu Erxi nodded secretly, they said it.

Others: I don't understand it very well, but I have to write it down!

Lu Songli continued, "Secondly, see if there are many lawyers in the area. Lawyers make money by helping people file lawsuits. Who would look for lawyers? Merchants or ordinary people, when they encounter problems, they will look for lawyers."

"If there are many lawyers, and these lawyers have a good life. From this, it can be inferred that local lawyers can make money, which means that the lawsuit is effective, and then it can be inferred that there is a law to follow here, and this place, that is, the government, can be reasonable, not a one-man show."

"It would be best to ask the locals about the cases in which the people sued the officials in the past three to five years, whether they involved the people's property. Are there any wealthy businessmen whose families were destroyed because of confrontation with the government?"

Makes sense!

Lu Songli explained this very clearly, and everyone understood it.

Qin Yan was more and more surprised as he listened. Sixth brother and sister-in-law taught them this? No wonder, each of them has a different mental outlook.

"Finally, see if there are any time-honored brands in this place that have been around for more than ten years. If there are none, it means that the locals can't make it, and it's even harder for outsiders."

In the Dali Dynasty, the term of office of each local official was about three years, and three or four local officials could be experienced in ten years. The existence of time-honored brands means that there are rules, or that someone is secretly maintaining the plan, not just relying on people.

These are all the experience that her predecessors taught her in her previous life.

Hearing this, Qin Yan was stunned. Sixth brother's wife, these dry goods, she just took them out?

Not only Qin Yan, if Ji Wuyin was here, he would be shocked and have a heart attack. He has been doing business for many years, and he has suffered many losses before he realized the things. He is now hiding them and preparing to find a successor to pass them on. Lu Songli took them out.

After Lu Songli finished speaking, the scene was very quiet for a while, and everyone was trying to absorb and digest.

At this time, Qin Sheng handed her a glass of water.

Lu Songli gave him an appreciative look. After saying so much, she was indeed a little thirsty.

Lu Songli drank water silently without saying anything.

In this era, the channels for the dissemination of knowledge were restricted. Coupled with the monopoly of books and knowledge by the gentry class, it was very difficult for the lower-class people to obtain valuable knowledge.

Many times, their way of acquiring knowledge depended on the experience summary of their predecessors, that is, the teaching of the master. But this was also difficult. The apprenticeship required three years of apprenticeship, two years of service, three festivals and two birthdays, etc.

There were very few people like Lu Songli who were willing to teach.

Lu Songli's generous advice was only to teach the first batch of talents quickly.

Lu Songli planned that after their Qin family had gained a foothold in Pingzhou and conquered or controlled a territory, the next step would be to develop caravans and lay out a business map. All of these required talents to build and manage.

Her teachings were useful, and many people present were inspired, among whom Wu Ren was the most inspired.

Later, the Liao merchants formed by Wu Ren, Liu Erxi and others emerged as a new force, opened shops in various states and counties of Dali, and competed with famous chambers of commerce such as Shanxi merchants, Guangdong merchants, and Jian merchants, and they were not inferior, and they earned a lot of money for Lu Songli.

"Can you understand?" Qin Yan lowered his head and asked Qin Jia and Qin Han's nephews. He felt that his voice was a little dry.

Qin Jia nodded slightly, "I can probably understand it."

Qin Han: "I can understand 80%."

Qin Yu stretched out his finger, "I only understand a little bit."

Qin Zhen: "I only understand a little bit."

Qin Yan looked at his three children and the children of his fourth and fifth brothers, all of whom looked confused. He couldn't help but wipe his face and felt the gap.

Study! The children's study must be done! No matter what, they can't lag behind other brothers and sisters too much!

At this time, someone in the crowd sighed, "I didn't expect that there are so many tricks in doing business."

After drinking the last sip of water, Lu Songli said, "What I said is actually my experience for those who want to open a store in the local area."

Hmm? What does this mean? The smartest group of people heard the hidden meaning in her words.

"You may get unexpected gains if you contact the dental clinic in Wuliu County." Lu Songli smiled mysteriously, "Remember, keep it secret."

Wu Ren, Liu Erxi and others followed her instructions with doubts, and finally pulled back five carts of medicinal materials. They were all dizzy. What's the reason?

At first, after listening to the analysis of the Sixth Young Master's wife, they thought it was hopeless. Unexpectedly, after listening to the Sixth Young Master's wife's words and contacting the dental clinic, they turned around?

Oh my god, this business is too difficult!
