Chapter 69 More money
Chapter 69: More money
The three of them had a long plan and then came out. Zheng Qing had been waiting for Chen Wanrong for a long time, but because Chen Wanrong was busy dealing with it, she could only watch from a distance.
"Brother Wanrong, Ding said goodbye!" Chen Qi bowed his fists and bowed.
Chen Wanrong said goodbye with his fists: "Mr. Shen, go!"
Chen Que waved his hand, and Ou Sheng took the yamen runners out of the yard and returned to the county yamen.
"Clean the ground." Chen Wanrong ordered Xiao Shangrong.
Even if Chen Wanrong didn't say it, Xiao Shangrong knew what to do. He responded and called a few people to dig well water and rinsed the ground.
Zheng Qing walked to Chen Wanrong and whispered: "Brother Chen, from now on, you have to be careful." The three bad guys didn't even take the official rank seriously, and they must have a huge force. As soon as the news of the three people being arrested here came out, their accomplices still had the truth that they would not follow, but this was the point.
If it weren't for this consideration, Chen Wanrong wouldn't have been discussing with Shen Que and the others for so long, and wanted to catch as many of these people as possible. It may not be possible to catch them all, but the more you catch, the safer you are. This is obvious. Chen Wanrong nodded and said softly: "Thank you for reminding me, I think so too."
Chen Wanrong had already thought of it, Zheng Qing was relieved and smiled slightly: "Brother Chen, I'm too worried."
"How can you do it? You are for my own good!" Chen Wanrong said sincerely.
Zheng Qing was very helpful to this. She smiled at Chen Wanrong, like blooming flowers, and was so beautiful.
Chen and his wife came over. Chen Wang frowned, feeling a little worried, and asked, "Wanrong, who are these people? Even the officials are not afraid of being an official."
She was worried about revenge, but she was just tactful. If Chen was honest, he would have been straightforward.
Chen Zhen stared at Wang Shaohua's room, and his eyebrows were quite unhappy, staring at Chen Wanrong without saying anything. He couldn't understand the meaning, that is, all this matter was caused by Wang Shaohua. If he had known, why would he have saved him?
Chen Wanrong could understand this idea, but he didn't know the origin of Wang Shaohua, so Chen Wanrong had to save him. Besides, these bandits are so fierce that even if you don't provoke him, you might come to him one day and you can't hide it.
Of course, these thoughts cannot be said. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mom, don't you have to worry, haven't you caught them?"
"Wanrong, my mother saw that they still have accomplices, otherwise Lord Shen wouldn't ask you to discuss." Chen Wang's eyes were really powerful, and he even saw through this.
In order not to make her worry, Chen Wanrong said seriously: "Mom, don't worry, there will be no problem. Lord Shen, don't you believe it? He is so kind to us and will definitely protect us."
Chen Que was indeed good to the Chen family. Chen Wangshi felt relieved and smiled and said, "That's good!" He went with Chen Zhongshi with confidence.
Zheng Qing blinked her bright eyes and looked at Chen Wanrong: "Brother Chen, have you made an idea for Lord Shen?" Zheng Qing is really a good confidant, and even she can see this.
Chen Wanrong vetoed: "No, we just said something." It was not intentionally hiding it, but the fewer people know about it, the better.
"Stop coming!" Zheng Qing started to angrily: "You treat others as a fool? You can't even see this. Did you see that when Lord Shen left, he had a lot of admiration for you. If you hadn't given any good idea, would he look at you like this?"
Observing it carefully, this ability to infer is even more convincing. Chen Wanrong was convinced from the bottom of his heart and lowered his voice: "Let me find an opportunity to tell you."
"I'm waiting for a chance to go to the house and tell me." Zheng Qing was a little curious: "Brother Chen must be very clever."
Looking at her eagerness to know, Chen Wanrong couldn't refuse. Just as he was about to agree, he heard a sound of wheels and horse hooves. When he looked closely, a team of carriages entered the yard.
It was none other than Feng Shicai who brought someone to pick up the goods. Since teaching Chen Wanrong a lesson in Chang'an, Feng Shicai was very respectful when he saw Chen Wanrong's face. He hurriedly jumped out of the car and trotted in to greet him: "Feng Shicai has met Manager Chen."
"Forget it, forgot it." Chen Wanrong clasped his fists, gave a brief greeting, and smiled: "What wind blows you? You're such a rare guest."
Feng Shicai hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Chen is so serious. The boss wants me to come, one is to pick up the goods, and the other is to invite you to Chang'an."
"What are you going to Chang'an to do? If you have something, Manager Gao will do it." Chen Wanrong couldn't figure it out.
Feng Shicai told the truth: "Shopkeeper Chen, March has passed, it's time to clear the tent. The owner asked you to go over and clear the tent, and you can travel down to Nanshan by the way." Last time I wanted to travel to Nanshan, but I met the prince playing in Yuzhen Temple halfway, and I gave up this matter halfway. I believe that Gao Qingtai wanted to realize this dream, so I said this.
March is over, and it is already April. It is time to clear the tent. It is just right to go to Chang'an. However, Chen Wanrong and Shen Que have just made a plan to capture this Shenxian Liu. They have taken an important part of themselves and cannot leave. They can only decline: "I have received the kindness of Manager Gao. I am not busy clearing the tent. It is not too late to go after I have time in a few days."
Feng Shicai smiled and said, "The boss also said that if Manager Chen is busy, the boss will come to bother you." This means that Gao Dean Tai comes to clear the tent.
To clear the account, there is no need to be such trouble. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "How dare you work for the shopkeeper Gao."
Feng Shicai explained: "Shopkeeper Chen doesn't know that the rule of our Gaojia store is to clear the account within five days. If there is something wrong with Storekeeper Chen, the boss will come to visit you, right?"
This is a system and a way to maintain credibility. There is no need to be surprised. Chen Wanrong is a major source of income for HDT. The soap variety has made him taste the sweetness, not to mention that Chen Wanrong has many novel ideas, which are still gradually realizing. If these ideas are realized, he will have a lot of more profits. Therefore, HDT attaches great importance to Chen Wanrong and does not hesitate to go there in person.
Chen Wanrong knew this great relationship very well and smiled and said, "Then I will respect the boss Gao."
"Where, where!" Feng Shicai said a cliché.
Chen Wanrong frowned, his eyes shone, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, go back to Chang'an, do me a favor, and make something."
Feng Shicai did not dare to obey Chen Wanrong's instructions and hurriedly said, "Please ask the shopkeeper Chen to give me the order, I will do my best."
"I'm so serious, I dare not give you instructions." Chen Wanrong finished his polite words and said, "Please follow me." Turning around and entering the room, Zheng Qing and Feng Shicai hurriedly followed him in.
Chen Wanrong poured tea for Feng Shicai, then found paper, found a piece of charcoal, and started painting on the paper. Feng Shicai and Zheng Qing blinked and looked at the painting on the paper curiously, puzzled.
Zheng Qing couldn't help it and asked, "Brother Chen, what is this?"
This is exactly what Feng Shicai was asking, and he glanced at Zheng Qing with great appreciation.
Chen Wanrong explained: "This is a cold suspicion tool, and you have to use it if you want to make strong liquor. I originally wanted to do it in Ning County, but I couldn't do it in Ning County. I didn't have time to go to Chang'an. Mr. Feng happened to come and help me prepare it. I asked Manager Gao to bring it with me."
"Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Chen, you will never miss your business." Feng Shicai promised and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, how do you do this?"
He had never seen this condenser before, and he didn't know how to make it, so Chen Wanrong pointed to the picture and talked about the manufacturing method: "This condenser is divided into two layers, and the layer inside is a round tube, which must be made of copper. If the copper ingot is made into copper sheets and rolled, it requires a very high level. If there is no blacksmith in Ning County, the easiest way is to cast. I have inquired about it. There are several workshops specializing in the casting of copper in Chang'an that can be completed."
Feng Shicai was confused and didn't understand. Zheng Qing's eyes became much sharper. He frowned and said, "Brother Chen, this round tube is not difficult, it's easy to cast. But this second layer is difficult, how can I do it?"
The first layer is steam inside, and the outside is the second layer, which is in contact with cold water. This is the only way to achieve heat exchange and achieve the purpose of cooling. The second layer is not only a circular hollow, but also closely connected to the first layer and cannot leak water. The technical difficulty is naturally greater.
Chen Wanrong admired her extraordinary insight and smiled: "Actually, this is not difficult. You can make it in half first, then cast it together, and then connect it to the copper tube, so that it will be done. There is no special requirement, as long as there is no water leakage."
Even if it leaks, it doesn’t matter, as long as it doesn’t leak too much. After all, this is normal pressure heat exchange, which is much simpler.
After this explanation, Feng Shicai also understood, raised his thumb and praised: "Shopkeeper Chen, he is really a good idea. Here we are wide first and then narrow, what is the purpose of doing?"
Chen Wanrong designed the condenser to be in a trumpet shape, and the outlet is an elbow. After condensation, the outlet flows out of the spirits. The reason why the entrance is designed to be in a trumpet shape is to be conveniently placed on wooden pipes.
OnePlus explained and understood. Feng Shicai stared at Chen Wanrong and asked, "May I ask, Storekeeper Chen, do you have new things? Storekeeper Chen, if there is one, please don't forget our Gaojia Store."
Gao Dean is so smart, and his subordinates are not bad. As the saying goes, "There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals." Chen Wanrong admired Yu Feng Shicai's agile reaction and smiled and said, "I'm making a new thing. Once I'm done, I'll ask you to sell it for me."
"Then I thank you on behalf of the boss!" Feng Shicai clasped his fists and bowed to the ground with a happy look on his face. Chen Wanrong's soap increased the income of Gaojia store a lot. If there was another new product, it would be even more amazing: "I will go back and tell the boss to ask the boss to talk to the shopkeeper Chen in person."
Gao Qingtai is coming to clear the tent, and when this happens, he must have arrived early. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I'm so serious."
After explaining, he gave Feng Shicai the drawings and loaded them. Feng Shicai said goodbye. Looking at the convoy away, Chen Wanrong felt extremely comfortable. The spirit that was originally interrupted by the condensation tube finally got on track again. Once the spirit was released, it was distilled many times to obtain high concentrations of alcohol. After a little treatment, it became anhydrous level, and this ether was not a problem.
Thinking of a bright future, Chen Wanrong could no longer hold back. He rolled up his sleeves and thought to do ether and review his homework. As soon as he made up his mind, he gave up Zheng Qing. Zheng Qing blinked his eyes and looked at Chen Wanrong, clasping his fists with his hands: "Congratulations to Brother Chen, congratulations to Brother Chen!"
Chen Wanrong was stunned and asked, "What do you mean? Why am I happy?"
Zheng Qing smiled and said, "Brother Chen has made his fortune, how can I not congratulate you?"
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "What kind of family is to live a life, it's not a blessing."
Zheng Qing helped Chen Wanrong settle the score and said, "Brother Chen, do you know how much money you will have after the settlement?"
Chen Wanrong really didn't think about this question, so he was stunned for questioning her. Zheng Qing said, "We alone have more than 10,000 taels of silver. Dad will clear the bill with you when he comes back from Luoyang this time. Manager Gao is coming to clear the bill, and Manager Ma will definitely come to hear the news. Who told you to hold the good thing of strong wine in your hand? There are many pharmacies in Chang'an, and they will rush to buy it. It's another big deal. If they don't come, they won't be able to."
The analysis made sense. With the cleverness of Ma Gao and his two men, how could they not come? Chen Wanrong nodded slightly to agree. Zheng Qing continued: "The Gaojiadian and Gaojiadian have more goods than us. Once this account is cleared, you will get more money. Brother Chen, can you say I can't congratulate you?"
Chen Wanrong estimated that after the account was cleared, he had almost 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver to be recorded. Compared with those rich businessmen who were rich, it was naturally nothing, but it was a small amount. From then on, even if he didn't earn a penny of silver, he could live a life of a rich man. Looking back, he was still busy for five dou of rice not long ago, and there was a supper but now he is a big and small rich man. The gap is too big.
It was difficult to accept for a moment. Chen Wanrong couldn't help knocking on his forehead, and his head was really dizzy.
Zheng Qing looked at Chen Wanrong with a happy look on her face: "Brother Chen, you are the fastest person I know to make a fortune. You are so amazing!" Although she doesn't value silver, it is also a joy to be able to have such a trick for her lover.
"It's average!" Although Chen Wanrong was saying humble words, he still stood up straight, which was very helpful for her words.
Zheng Qing came up with an idea and said, "Brother Chen, if you have too much money, you have to keep it well and build a bank treasury." There was no bank in the Tang Dynasty, so if you have too much money, you can only keep it yourself. It is inevitable to build a bank treasury. This practice was used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
The silver is coming soon. If there is no bank treasury and no place to put it, it would be embarrassing. There is no concept of this matter at all. Chen Wanrong suddenly became troubled. Zheng Qing chuckled and teased: "Brother Chen, is there too much silver so much that there is no place to put it?"
Although this is a joke, he was just talking about Chen Wanrong's thoughts and nodded, "Yes."
Zheng Qing grabbed Chen Wanrong's hand and said, "Brother Chen, come with me." Although Chen Wanrong didn't understand her intention, she still followed her.
Walking through the courtyard, I came to the innermost house. This house is different from other houses. The walls are very thick and there are no windows. The door is still an iron door. There are several large locks hanging on the iron door, each weighing about ten pounds.
Chen Wanrong has been here, but he just doesn't know what to do, so he can't see it clearly. Zheng Qing smiled and explained to Chen Wanrong: "This is our silver treasury, and the silver used to be stored here."
No wonder, when Chen Wanrong asked before, Zheng Jianqiu just smiled and didn't say anything. Chen Wanrong thought he had any hidden secrets, so he didn't ask again. Unexpectedly, it was the silver treasury, which was a major area among the important areas. It was normal for Zheng Jianqiu not to say it.
Look at this house, it is quite large. If you save a lot of money, it would be an astronomical figure. It is conceivable that the Zheng family was rich in the past.
Zheng Qing then explained: "Brother Chen, please rest assured. There will be no problem with keeping the silver inside. This wall is made of iron plates, and even if there are thieves, there is nothing to do with it."
"Made of iron plates?" Chen Wanrong didn't care whether he could prevent theft, but was concerned about iron plates. When Chen Wanrong thought that there was no iron plate in the Tang Dynasty, it was very surprising that they used iron plates to make walls.
Zheng Qing knew Chen Wanrong very well and knew that he was concerned about technical issues. He explained his doubts: "These iron plates are cast of iron and cannot be used to make knives. It is enough to use them to prevent theft."
In this way, there is no need to be surprised. Zheng Qing continued to say, "I heard that after the iron plate is placed, it is cast with iron, and it is a whole. Then bricks are built, and it will be like this."
The Tang people's idea was really amazing. In this way, it may not necessarily explode with explosives, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty did not have explosives, which was safer.
"It's so great!" Chen Wanrong couldn't help rubbing his hands. Tens of thousands of taels of silver were added in the yard at once. It was really unsafe and very troublesome. With such a solid bank deposit, he solved it by asking.
Zheng Qing glanced at Chen Wanrong: "Brother Chen, you just need to replace the lock. The silver rack inside is ready-made. Although it has not been useful for many years, there will be no problem. Just use it with confidence. But I have to keep the key at home, and I will take it for you."
