I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.
Chapter 83 A good story is worse than a good product
Chen Dusheng pondered for a moment before speaking: "The jade from the Northwest is far inferior to that from Dayong Kingdom in terms of both quality and other aspects. Liangping County and even the entire Danzhou are adjacent to Dayong, and everyone is already used to Dayong's jade."
"If we want people to accept jade from Northwest China, I have an idea."
Wang Yiyi was very interested. Northwest jade was harder to sell than she had imagined. She was wrong before. Jade was not practical for ordinary people, and even a low price was still expensive.
Chen Dusheng continued, "To sell jade from Northwest China, we need a story to connect it with things like passing the imperial examinations, having a child, and peace of mind. Only when there's something in it will people be willing to pay any price."
Wang Yiyi really admired Chen Dusheng's idea: a good story is worse than a good product.
Chen Dusheng has mastered the essence of doing business!
She readily agreed: "You're right, we'll do it your way. Just tell me how much funding you need."
As she spoke, she took out five hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Chen Dusheng: "Is this enough? If not, just tell me."
She waved the silver notes in her hand.
She's quite wealthy now.
Chen Dusheng did not take the silver note but said instead, "In that case, setting up a stall or delivering samples door-to-door would seem a bit stingy. We need a shop, and it can't be too small."
Wang Yiyi thought about it and realized that made sense; who would buy from a roadside stall?
She thought for a moment and then agreed: "Opening a shop is fine, but it has to be in Shixian County."
She had no connections in Liangping County, so opening a shop there wouldn't be a simple matter. In Shi County, she could rely on her relationship with the county magistrate to get some favors.
She glanced at Chen Dusheng and said, "The shopkeeper can bring your parents along, and they'll get an extra tael of silver for each month's wages."
"No need, one tael of silver a month is enough, and there are also dividends. However, there are still some things to do in Liangping County. I will go there in three days after I have finished dealing with them."
Wang Yiyi naturally wouldn't object; leaving one's hometown always requires some time to prepare.
After finishing their business negotiations, Wang Yiyi asked about Wang Xiaobei.
Chen Dusheng frowned slightly, and after a long pause, he said, "Your younger brother might be more suited to joining the army."
He wasn't saying Wang Xiaobei wasn't smart, but he had never seen such an active person before.
When asked to read, he would catch ants; when asked to write, he would draw a turtle. Even with his good nature, he lost patience with such a student.
This was the most respectable way he could come up with after much thought.
Wang Yi clapped her hands with a grin: "That's good, let's make his mother give up on that idea as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause. What about my two older sisters?"
Speaking of the two, Chen Dusheng's brows relaxed considerably: "Your sister is a patient person. Given time, settling accounts shouldn't be a difficult task for them."
Wang Yiyi was relieved: "Please teach them well, sir. I don't expect them to be learned, but I hope they can understand things."
He paused for a moment and then added, "I would also appreciate it if you could help my younger brother learn a few more characters."
She couldn't bear it; even if a child has no talent, they shouldn't be given up on if they don't study.
However, it's absolutely impossible for me to pay for it.
Chen Dusheng agreed: "In a few days, I will set up a primary school class in Shixian County. In the next few days, they can review at home."
Wang Yi nodded and led the three of them home.
Zhao had been waiting at the Wang family's door since early morning. Upon seeing this, she hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Did the teacher praise our Xiao Bei for being so promising?"
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely become the top scholar in the imperial examination someday." Wang Yiyi was too lazy to say more to her and just gave a perfunctory reply.
Zhao was delighted to hear this and hurriedly went back to get something good to eat for her son.
Li looked doubtful: "Does this Xiao Bei really have talent?"
If she truly has a talent for studying, she'll have to reconsider. Anyway, her family is doing well enough right now, and if she could produce a scholar, it would be good for helping her children in the future.
Er Ya chuckled: "Mom, you actually believe what Third Sister is saying? Xiao Bei isn't as good at studying as I am. I think the teacher almost lost his temper several times today."
Li chuckled twice: "I knew it! When did the Wang family's ancestral graves start emitting auspicious smoke?"
"I'm planning to open a shop," Wang Yiyi calmly announced the bombshell news.
"So, does that mean we'll live in the city?" Er Ya immediately chimed in.
Li gave her a light tap: "The house isn't even finished yet, and you're already planning to move to the city?"
Wang Yi smiled apologetically: "Second sister, I guess we really can't live in the city. The rent is too expensive there."
She even had to partition off a room in the shop for Chen Dusheng's family to live in.
Er Ya let out a disappointed "oh," but then she perked up again as the big house was about to be completed, and spun around a few times: "Our family will not only have carriages in the future, but also shops."
Wang Yiyi glanced at Er Ya speechlessly, then looked at the sky and said to Li Shi, "I'm going to the military camp."
The money owed to Xie Yu should be repaid.
Upon hearing this, Li immediately stopped smiling: "Wait a moment, I'll bring your brother some food, and also send them a set of clothes I've finished making. I wonder how they've been doing these past few days?"
Wang Yi waited patiently for Li to make a pot of oil pancakes before setting off for the military camp.
The guards still remembered Wang Yiyi, mainly her carriage.
This time she didn't have a spear pointing at her, but she still didn't let anyone in.
Wang Yi took out the token Xie Yu had given him earlier, and soon Xie San came over to personally welcome him inside.
Wang Yiyi was curious as she entered the military camp for the first time, but Xie San was clearly prepared and didn't encounter a single person on the way he led her.
"Everyone is training," Xie San explained briefly.
Wang Yiyi nodded; she knew all about military secrets.
Soon, she arrived at Xie Yu's tent. She went inside and waited for a while before Xie Yu hurriedly came over.
"Excuse me, I was just training. Miss Wang, is there anything I can help you with today?"
Wang Yiyi took out a 2,100-tael silver note and placed it on the only table in the tent: "Thank you, General Xie. I'm here to repay the money, the money for doing business and building a house."
Xie Yu grabbed a towel from the shelf next to him, wiped himself a couple of times, and then said, "Miss Wang is really good at making money; she was able to pay back the money so quickly."
Wang Yiyi liked hearing this and chuckled, "It's alright, the main thing is that we hired a capable manager."
Xie Yu raised an eyebrow, but did not ask who the shopkeeper was. He simply sat down at the table and put away the silver notes.
"Miss Wang, you didn't come here today just to repay the money, did you?"
According to what he knew, Wang Yiyi was the kind of person who wouldn't come to the temple unless he had a reason. If he just wanted to repay a debt, he could probably just find anyone to do it.
Wang Yiyi gave a thumbs up: "As expected of General Xie, you can see through everything. I want to contact Brother Luo and ask him to ask a caravan to bring some goods back for me."
Xie Yu: "A caravan's round trip costs countless amounts of money. What makes you think, Miss Wang, that Luo Yan will bring you goods? Wouldn't it be better if he brought more himself?"
