    Chapter 196 Venture Capital

    The buildings in Suzhou are very exquisite, each brick and tile is placed just right, and each pavilion and pavilion has its own unique flavor.  In the backyard of the Suzhou government office, there is a one-acre pond. The water is covered with lotus roots, and carp scurry through it from time to time.  There is a pavilion in the middle of the pond, and a solid wood Eight Immortals table is placed in the middle. Ten plates are placed on the table, and various delicacies are placed on the plates.

    "Master, the squirrel and mandarin fish is a famous dish here. Come and try it, Master"

    Yao Hongming stood up slightly, holding up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand. He pointed at one of the plates with emerald green chopsticks in his right hand, looked at Wen Shen and smiled.

    Wen Shen gently picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, "Well, it's good, sweet and sour, it's really delicious." After taking this mouthful of fish, he said, "Master Yao said before that he had to report to work. I don't know what's going on."  ?¡±

    "A few days ago, my official received a telegram saying that the imperial court will no longer transport granite. This official agreed with his approval. The imperial minister did not know that the granite shipped from Hangzhou to the capital must pass through Suzhou every year.  . When crossing the border, the people not only have to tow the ship, but are also responsible for the safety of the ship. If the ship is damaged, we have to pay compensation. Every year, we have people here who lose all their money due to the compensation."

    Yao Hongming raised his head and looked at Wen Shen, "Grand Master, there is something that Grand Master does not need to know. Weren't Tong Guan and Wang Fu demoted to Qiongzhou some time ago?"

    Wen Shen was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, it does happen. Why is there a problem?".

    "I heard that Wang Fu Tongguan and the others did not go to Qiongzhou, but stayed with Cai Jing in Hangzhou, secretly helping the officials collect granite."

    "Pa" Wen Shen slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table and said coldly: "Why is this happening? These two people are so lawless and lawless. Wait until I get to Hangzhou and I will take care of them."

    "This is not the most serious thing. They also control a large number of Xiang troops in Hangzhou. It can be said that Hangzhou is their territory now. He can do whatever he wants."

    "They want to do the opposite, but they are desperate." Wen Shen said lightly.  The more trouble they make now, the easier it will be for Wen Shen to deal with it.  At this time, in front of outsiders, you still need to express your attitude.

    "Grand Master, come and give me a toast to you"

    Yao Hongming stood up, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

    ¡­¡­

    By the time the banquet was over, it was getting dark.  Lanterns were hung around the pavilion to drive away the surrounding darkness.  Wen Shen was led by his entourage through the corridor and came to the courtyard next to the government office.

    "It's such a nice weather today, but it's actually strange why there aren't any stars in the sky."

    Wen Shen stood in the other courtyard, looked up at the night sky, and felt something was wrong, so he asked Wang Chao beside him.

    Wang Chao glanced at the sky, scratched his scalp, and said doubtfully: "Yes. It seems that I haven't seen the stars for a long time. The last time I saw the stars was eight or nine years ago, when you had not come to the Song Dynasty.  .¡±

    "Forehead¡­¡­"

    Wen Shen suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly found an excuse, entered the room, and then came to the space.  Following the previous method, it didn't take long for scenes from the Song Dynasty to appear on the wall.  Slowly raising his vision, he suddenly discovered an astonishing secret.  In the time and space of the Song Dynasty, there was only the solar system and nothing else.

    "Um, what's going on? Why are there no other planets? Is this space just a branch of modern space?"

    Wen Shen thought for a long time and didn't understand what was going on, but he vaguely felt that there must be a big secret hidden in it.  Whether this secret is good or bad for him is still unknown and cannot be investigated for the time being.

    Wen Shen did not go back to Suzhou to stay, but came back to Yizhou to stay.  Now he feels that this lifestyle is very comfortable. He goes to work tomorrow and gets off work in the evening.jpg'>Go home.  The only thing you need to pay attention to is to guard against others and don't let others find out.

    ¡­¡­

    After breakfast the next day, Wen Shen returned to Suzhou.  As soon as he left the room, he saw Wang Chao standing in the yard washing up. He asked, "You got up so early. Are you used to living here yesterday?"

    "Pfft" Wang Chao spitted out the water in his mouth, "It's okay, but it doesn't feel very convenient. The water for bathing and washing is all well water, there is no tap water."

    "You wash up now, I'll go out and take a look"

    After saying that, Wen Shen went out alone and walked around the streets of Suzhou. At the same time, he was thinking about something and felt that there must be a secret in this mysterious space.  What is the secret, he thought as he walked, and finally felt that this secret must be solved from modern times.  This mysterious space is initially judged to be a technological product. Since it is a technological product, it must have been manufactured by an advanced civilization.  In this space of the Song Dynasty, there was only the solar system, and there was definitely no advanced civilization.

     After walking around for a while, I returned to the government office and saw Yao Hongming standing in the yard with a smile.  When he saw Wen Shen coming back, he stepped forward and bowed, "Grand Master, you slept well last night."

    "It's okay, I just saw a lot of people selling cotton at the market. How is your cotton planting area here? Is the output high?"

    "Well, it's quite a lot, about tens of thousands of acres of land, and there are many more in surrounding counties and counties." Yao Hongming thought for a while and said, "Grand Master, do you need cotton?"

    Wen Shen waved his hand, "I don't need it. I just think that if you have a large planting area here, you can open a weaving factory. There are many looms in Yizhou, and the prices are not very expensive."

    "We also have some small weaving factories here, but they are not very large. They are self-sufficient."

    Although the Song Dynasty was more enlightened and did not discriminate against businessmen, it was not a favorable impression.  In particular, literati disdain to associate with them, so they are not very clear about trade.

    Wen Shen saw Yao Hongming's disdain for businessmen and felt that it was necessary to change this situation, so he smiled and said: "Well, I just have nothing to do today. I will go to those weaving factories to have a look."

    ¡­¡­

    In the afternoon, Wen Shen took Liu Yishou and Chao Chao to a weaving factory outside Suzhou.  This weaving factory covers an area of ??more than ten acres, has dozens of craftsmen, and five or six machines, and can produce more than 1,000 meters of gray fabric a day.

    "The common man Zhang Gong meets the Grand Master"

    A slightly fat man in his forties, wearing silk, stood at the door of the factory and saw Wen Shen, and hurriedly came forward to say hello.

    "Well, the main reason I came here today is to take a look at your factory."

    Afterwards, Wen Shen took everyone to inspect the factory. He felt that although the factory was small, it was well managed. It seemed that Mr. Zhang still had some skills, so he asked: "I think your factory is well managed. Do you think the factory is well managed?"  Is it possible to expand production?"

    "The common people want it too, but they don't have enough money."

    "You can go to the bank to get a loan?" Wen Shen turned to look at Liu Yishou, "How is the bank loan business?"

    "Back to my boss, the loan business is not very good. Most businessmen are unwilling to lend money. They generally adhere to the chicken-and-egg approach."

    Wen Shen looked at Mr. Zhang, thought for a while, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, this is shopkeeper Liu from the Suzhou branch of Da Song Bank. He has a lot of money here. I think you can do business together. This way  The bigger the factory, the more money you can make."

    "this¡­¡­"

    Zhang Gong glanced at Liu Yishou and frowned slightly.  It can be seen that he is hesitant about this suggestion, and he doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

    "Shopkeeper Zhang, don't worry." Wen Shenmulan smiled, "It's just a share purchase. I'll accompany him and let everyone share the profit. When will you be able to make the textile factory bigger by yourself?"

    "Yes, I think my boss is right," Liu Yishou said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I wonder if you have ever been to Yizhou. The weaving factory there has thousands of acres of land, thousands of people, and can produce hundreds of thousands of meters a day.  Gray cloth. The annual turnover is hundreds of thousands of silver dollars. If we work together, we can reach such a big business in just a few years."

    After hearing this, Mr. Zhang looked longingly, "I saw it when I went to Yizhou to buy machines. The weaving factory there was really big. My biggest dream is to see a weaving factory like that. Our partnership is also  It¡¯s not that it¡¯s impossible, I¡¯m just afraid that if I accompany you, I won¡¯t be able to afford to pay you so much money.¡±

    Liu Yishou laughed, "We are a partnership. If we lose, we can only live with our fate. How can we let you lose money? This is not a loan."

    Zhang Gong thought for a long time and felt that this matter would not do him any harm, so he replied: "That's good, but the specific details need to be further discussed."

    ¡­¡­

    Returning to the annex from the weaving factory, Wen Shen looked at Liu Yishou beside him and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, you did a good job today. Silver will not produce small silver if you put it in the cellar. Only by investing the money in setting up factories or lending money can you produce small silver."  Come with a small amount of money. If others are not willing to lend money, we can buy shares."

    "Commissioner, what if shopkeepers from all over the country casually invest in shares and set up factories and lose money?"

    "Investment is definitely risky. There is no business where you can make a profit without losing money. As long as the risk is controlled to a certain level, it is still acceptable." Wen Shen thought for a while and added, "Of course, this does not mean that shopkeepers from all over the world can  If we want to invest in a factory, we need them to come up with an evaluation report. Through the report, we can make a preliminary judgment on the quality of the factory we want to invest in. If the evaluation fails, we will definitely not be able to invest in the factory.

    "Well, the committee is still thoughtful."

    "Every year, we will conduct an review of banks in various places. If there are any unqualified banks, they will be punished to a certain extent." Wen Shen glanced at Liu Yishou and said, "The minor bonus will be deducted."If the situation is severe, I will be laid off and go home to look after my children.  "

    Liu Yishou smiled dryly and bowed: "My boss is right. I will work hard to run the bank when I go back next time, so that the bank can make more money."

    ¡­¡­

    In the next two days, Wen Shen visited various beautiful places in Suzhou and tasted various delicacies.  In the past, the common people were frightened to death when they saw soldiers, but now they are very happy when they see soldiers.

    It turns out that two thousand soldiers spent nearly 10,000 guan in just three days, which made the people make a lot of money. They all thought: "It would be great if these soldiers were here every day."

    Three days passed in a blink of an eye. When the fleet set off, a large number of people came to the shore to see them off. It seems that the people's impression of the soldiers has greatly changed in these three days.
