Chapter 918 The warmth at home
Faced with Wu Mei's attitude, several shopkeepers were not easy to refuse, and they could only nod and agreed. The Gu family is the top of Chang'an merchants now. Many Chang'an merchants have to look at the Gu family's expression, and many merchants owe the Gu family favors.
Looking at several shopkeepers, Wu Mei continued, "Do not shirk responsibility when doing things here. If you don't do it well, you won't blame you. Just try to do it well in the future. My Gu family will support the money house in the back. But if anyone makes mistakes in the future, don't blame me for not giving me mercy. Even if you have a relationship between the court and China, it is still worthless in the eyes of my Gu family."
Several shopkeepers nodded repeatedly until they sent the mistress of the Gu family to leave the building.
"This is the mistress of the Gu family. No wonder the momentum in conversation can command so many merchants in Chang'an." A shopkeeper said in a low voice.
"It is said that the mistress of the Gu family clearly rewards and punishes the work, but she can't even rub the sand in her eyes. Those who make fake goods will never tolerate them. As long as they do business well, even if the business is a little worse, the Gu family will also support them. How many large merchants in Chang'an are supported by the Gu family, and how many large merchants owe the Gu family favors."
"That's right? Not to mention the mistress of the Gu family, even Gu Hou, who is more than ten thousand people, is not an ordinary person. Even the current emperors do not take it seriously. Although we have more or less related to the court, we should do our best to be honest at the moment of the Gu family."
Several shopkeepers were talking in a low voice.
Wu Mei walked out of the money shop and saw a carriage parked outside the money shop. Looking at the maid standing beside the carriage, Wu Mei said, "You are waiting for me to go to the carriage to sit, and there are guests here."
"Yes." The maid next to Wu Mei nodded and agreed.
Wu Mei walked into the carriage and saw Li Ran sitting in it and said, "The heads of the Li family in Zhaojun have all arrived at the entrance of the money house. What does it mean if they don't come in?"
"I don't know if you're busy inside, it's not easy to disturb you." Li Ran handed Wu Mei a pastry and said, "Try it, I made it myself."
Wu Mei took it and tasted it and said, "It tastes very good."
Li Ran smiled and said, "The Gu family's women are really amazing. They will be the owner of the money house in a blink of an eye. Will the Gu family control the world's financial power in the future?"
Wu Mei shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No, the future ownership of the money house will not be the Gu family."
"That's true." Li Ran nodded, "The money shop is said to be a place that controls the world's financial power, but this huge power is a hot potato. Whoever dares to take it will be difficult to deal with it."
"It's not very difficult." Wu Mei said calmly: "The Gu family's power in Chang'an is enough to pull up a money house. As long as our Gu family comes forward to appeal, many merchants are willing to put their money in the money house."
"Being famous is easy to do." Li Ran looked at Wu Mei.
Speaking of this, Wu Mei looked at the people outside and said, "Now, there are many old dukes who are bothering Chang'an. People outside think that those old dukes have deep friendship with our Gu family, but friendship is just friendship, and the accounts must be settled clearly. Moreover, these old dukes are smart people. They don't fight for the money in their hands. Even if the Gu family is behind the bank, it is difficult to gain a foothold in Chang'an."
"But as long as those old countries recognize money houses, then the world's first court money house will take root in Chang'an."
Wu Mei nodded. Li Ran's statement was what he thought.
"Actually, our Zhao County Li family can help you. In Zhao County, Zhaozhou, you can come forward to help the opening of a money house outside Chang'an in the Chaozhong area."
Listening to Li Ran's words, Wu Mei observed her expression and said, "I appreciate it, but I can't be anxious."
The two women said this and calmed down. After a long time, Wu Mei said, "It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back and prepare meals for the children. I'll stay there soon."
"Is it convenient? Why don't you go back in my carriage?" Li Ran said.
"There is a carriage at home." Wu Mei said as she walked off the carriage.
Wu Mei left the carriage and calmed down again. Li Ran sat in it with a sad face. Sometimes it could be seen with a few words. Wu Mei seemed to be very kind to her. Wu Mei had a lot of effort from the business dealings between the Gu family and the Li family in Zhaojun. But such a woman was a little bit jealous and felt like she was a match for her.
It was dusk, and Li Ran said to the maid outside, "I'm back."
The carriage slowly drove away from the East City.
Wu Mei returned home and saw Gu Qing cooking, and went up to say, "Husband, come on."
"No, you have to be busy at home and in the money shop. I'll do it." Gu Qing skillfully stir-frying the dishes, "By the way, how was the first day of the money shop opening today?"
Speaking here, Wu Mei smiled bitterly and said, "There is no business, the house is deserted."
"As expected." Gu Qing stir-fry the shredded pork, then put it in pickles and then stir-fry it. Seeing Wu Mei standing beside her, she said, "Go and sit."
Nodding vigorously, Wu Mei walked back to the living room. Things outside were very troubled, but the home was still very warm.
Gu Xiao took a book and took a secret look at Gu Qing, who was busy in the kitchen. Seeing that he would not come out for a while, he quickly took the book to Wu Mei and asked, "Mother, what is a circular economy."
Wu Mei took the book and looked at Gu Xiao and pointed at the earth and explained: "This is called a circular economy, which means that natural resources are limited, and under certain circumstances of economic development, there must be room for the environment."
"Oh." Gu Xiao nodded and said to Wu Mei in a low voice, "Mother, I recently thought of a good way to make money. At that time, I must make my father look at me with admiration."
"Okay." Wu Mei smiled.
Wu Mei knew that even if Gu Xiao did many things that deserved the pride of the family, Gu Qing was still a child in Gu Qing's eyes. When she seemed to be serious about Gu Xiao, she knew that Gu Qing was still very happy, but she would not reveal it. It was like Gu Xiao from crying to the first time she called her father, from the beginning of reading to the first time she wrote, many people said that Gu Qing was different from many people. In fact, Wu Mei knew that Gu Qing was the same as others, especially as parents, Gu Qing was even more different from others.
In the evening, the family was eating around the dining table. Recently, Li Xiang was learning martial arts with Gao Yang. Zhang Yugong had been in charge of the flying knife skills of fear that Gao Yang would hurt the current prince.
Sun Simiao, who had white hair and hair, sat in the upper seat. Every time he smiled, there were more and more wrinkles on his face. Gu Xue could go to school in the academy in a year, and Gu Ling could already speak. Wu Mei looked at the whole family and smiled, as well as Gu Qing's words scolding Gu Xiao, and Sun Simiao's laughter.
"Eat." Gu Qing saw Wu Mei picking up a piece of fish without moving her chopsticks, "Try the pickled fish I made."
