Chapter 384 Business Startup]
The business that the carriage and horse business is doing now is nothing more than transporting the materials in her space to Youzhou City for sale. In addition, there are some sporadic commissions from outside customers to earn some transportation fees.
For a small business like this, it doesn't matter whether there are bodyguards or not. It is even enough to operate according to Manager Zheng's method.
But for her, opening a carriage and horse business was just a starting point. What she wanted to build was a business empire that spanned the entire Dayu and even the Northern Rong and Western Regions.
The most important thing in business is transportation.
In ancient times, transportation relied on bodyguards or merchants to travel on their own, so building a transportation network across the country was of great benefit to future business development. In other words, if you want to get rich, build roads first.
In this situation, bodyguards are very necessary.
As for choosing Huling Village, she had also investigated it in advance.
Boss Ding was originally one of Dayu's border guards. Because a city he was guarding was lost due to a surprise attack by the Northern Rong, he led his men to fight bloody battles to break out and evacuate, and warned the people along the way behind them. He saved many people, but Emperor Yucheng still ordered the execution of these "deserters" who had not lived and died with the city.
Boss Ding couldn't bear to see his men being killed so unjustly, so he led his brothers to rebel and escape, hiding their identities and becoming bandits in the mountains.
After all, he used to be a garrison commander, and he rebelled out of necessity. In addition, the Huling Village has always robbed people of their money but not their lives, and basically would not rob law-abiding civilians. They are considered to be a group of bandits with relatively principles. Compared with other bandits, they are not likely to stab you in the back, so they are more suitable to cooperate with.
The next day, Zhang the coachman, his servant and the bandits were found at the gate of the yamen. Under the instruction of Shen Fenghe, Zheng the shopkeeper went to court to testify. In the end, some of them were sentenced to death or imprisonment.
Two days later, Boss Ding replied, agreeing to Chen Fenghe's proposal. From then on, every business of the carriage and horse business would be escorted by the "bodyguards" of Huling Village.
The business of the carriage and horse company has finally stabilized.
Chen Fenghe opened a branch of the carriage and horse company in Youzhou City. This way, the company no longer had to run back and forth twice a day for each business.
However, this means that the carriage and horse company’s horses, mules and other equipment will be even more scarce.
Chen Fenghe took out horses and mules from the space as usual, and only told Manager Zheng that she asked a friend to buy them from other prefectures and counties.
In addition to the carriage and horse business, she also secretly bought an inn and a bank in Youzhou City.
All the food and supplies for the inn were naturally taken out from her space. As for the bank, it was also a business of collecting deposits and lending money.
The shop owners of both families were trained and promoted by her grandfather. They had worked in the Gu family store for many years, but were later fired because Shen Shi'an replaced his confidant.
She visited them one by one in person and asked them to come out of retirement.
The expansion of these businesses was carried out in an orderly manner using the teleportation of space. In Shili Village, she had always stayed at home and rarely went out. She only told Qin Mengyue that she wanted to rest or go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables to free up time for her to act alone.
That day, she went into the mountains as usual, carrying a bamboo basket on her back. After picking some wild vegetables, mushrooms and the like, she used the space to deal with the affairs of the store and then teleported back.
As soon as I left the space, I suddenly heard a noise.
