Chapter 15 Making Money
Making money is a very cautious thing in Baishi Town.
In one year, Yun Ye not only improved his cultivation and knowledge, but more importantly, he learned about Baishi Town.
He had prepared a money-making plan a year ago, but was limited by intelligence and could not determine the final result.
After a year of investigation, the main situation of Baishi Town has become clear and can be started.
The entire Baishi Town is divided into four parts.
First, the ruler of Baishi Town, the government.
The government controls the army and has a large number of spiritual root resurrectors serving, and is the strongest class in the entire Baishi Town.
The manager of the government is not the mayor or the county magistrate, but the spiritual law official.
The spiritual law official of all generations has been held by the head of the Ji family, who has overwhelming force and is invincible in Baishi Town...
At least that's what the books and the children of the aristocratic families say.
As the private land of the Ji family, the government also generally intervenes in important industries and is committed to taking the bulk of the profits into its own arms.
The talismans that the Yang family bought before were from the government, and no other family could sell them.
Since the government intervened in highly profitable industries and the threshold was very high, it did not conflict with Yun Ye's plan to make money, but he still had to be careful.
The second part was the aristocratic families.
A certain aristocratic family in Baishi Town has already had the potential to compete with the government, and it has been gathering resources openly and secretly without any harm.
If you want to do something epoch-making, you must first face the oppression of these aristocratic families.
The third part, merchants.
The local merchants in Baishi Town are all supported by aristocratic families, but there are also outsiders. Some outsiders are so powerful that even the major aristocratic families and the government dare not suppress them, but they are unwilling to conflict with local forces and affect their money-making. Instead, they are the most stable type.
As for the fourth part, there is no need to elaborate, it can be summarized in two words: leeks.
After roughly understanding the situation of the four major parts of Baishi Town.
Yun Ye cleared all the plans to make a lot of money in his mind.
The reason is simple.
What is the theme of the feudal era?
Land annexation.
Dominate the market.
Collect rent, protection fees, train thugs, build forts, become stronger, and then repeat the above steps.
Once the snowball starts rolling in a small place like Baishi Town, it will be all-powerful.
The noble families can now compete with the government. A small bug dares to run out to grab food. It is simply impatient to live and is simply looking for death.
Therefore, Yun Ye must not make money on a large scale. It must be the least noticeable, the most simple, and even feel insignificant. Otherwise, once it is targeted, it will definitely die.
So Yun Ye picked out the simplest and most simple way to make money.
Food!
People take food as their first priority. This is the most profitable but also the most easily overlooked industry.
What he gave Wang Yao to taste was a sauce made by himself. From Wang Yao's reaction, it can be seen that there is a lot of room for development.
According to the survey.
Baishi Town already has a citizen class.
Civilians all have jobs, such as refining ores for noble families, refining herbs, grinding spiritual ink, and even being servants, washing clothes, and even working in brothels.
These jobs can support a family. If you can't awaken your spiritual roots, going to these places to work is actually much more promising than working in a small village.
However, the disadvantage is that freedom is limited. Whether it is a noble family or a brothel, production fluctuations will not be allowed, so once you sign, you sign for life, there is no second choice.
As for the money-making jobs provided by government forces, it is also a routine. Once you sign for life, there is no job to quit midway, whether it is a production type or...
Spirit root resurrector!
Yes.
Even a spirit root resurrector cannot break free from this big net, but can be more decent.
As a reincarnated person, Yun Ye clearly knows that all his powerlessness is due to insufficient strength, so he doesn't care about these rules and regulations. The reason he doesn't join is just that these jobs are not profitable enough, or they trample on the bottom line and waste time.
Compared to these troublesome tasks, buying some beans and salt and making sauces according to the recipe in memory can make money a hundred times faster.
Although the finished sauces are only stored in ordinary clay pots, the scarcity of the seasonings makes the value of these small clay pots skyrocket a hundred times.
The most important thing is that this is just a plant sauce with extremely low cost.
If the whole can is sold to rich people, it is entirely possible to make hundreds of times the profit.
Unfortunately, rich people will not buy it. For them, it is easier to just rob.
So Yun Ye can only do a little packaging -
Sell snacks.
Yun Ye can't do this kind of thing himself. He needs to practice and study. So in order not to waste time, Yun Ye found Wang Yao and three civilians.
These four people are candidates he has observed for a long time. At least on the surface, the probability of problems is very small.
Yun Ye gave the sauce to Wang Yao, and then asked him to contact the other three civilians and hired these three civilians to make food for sale.
After being promised to give them 30% of the profits, the three of them all agreed eagerly, and even patted their chests and swore that they would never let Yun Ye down.
The reason is simple. Baishi Town does not produce spices. Cooking can only add salt or various rare spiritual medicines.
In this world, force is supreme, and everything depends on robbing. Innovation is basically non-existent, which is worse than the feudal dynasty. Although there are seasonings, they have basically not been improved, and the taste is hard to describe.
In this case, plant sauces are simply the best. Not to mention compared with the chefs raised by the aristocratic families, at least there is no problem making a living in Baishi Town. It is basically free money.
As for those foods that use spiritual medicine as seasonings...
It tastes good.
But this way of eating, even the family of the spiritual law official can't afford it, and it doesn't affect Yunye's business.
To be honest, the reason why Yunye didn't sell sauces directly is because this thing is quite useful.
For example, although the effects of various excellent foods are rising layer by layer, the taste is getting worse and worse accordingly.
The higher the level, the more complicated the production process and the greater the cost. There is no need to study unimportant things like taste.
Even the white jade meatballs are delicious because of the unique raw materials, and they are only the lowest quality food, so the production process is not complicated.
Otherwise, even if it is only one level higher, the taste will be greatly reduced.
For those rich people, if they don't have the conditions, then forget it. If they have the conditions, they will definitely not mind paying more for better taste.
Once the market is aimed at the richest group in the entire Baishi Town, the money that can be earned is not a small amount of money.
Yun Ye has the life to make this kind of big money, but he doesn't have the life to spend it, so he won't get involved.
He only needs to eat the lowest quality food for three meals, which is thirty to fifty black coppers.
This level will never attract any attention.
And the ordinary people hired by Yun Ye, the identity of the Xianxuetang is also enough to deter.
If there is still a problem in this situation, Yun Ye can only say... I don't want to stay for a second in this garbage life!
And the actual results are indeed under control.
The three people's net profit is about 200 black coppers per day. After deducting 30%, Yun Ye can also receive more than 100. Even if he divides a part of it to Wang Yao, it is enough for him to practice.
In fact, the three people can make much more than this, but they were born in Baishi Town and know the darkness better than Yun Ye. Want to hide your wealth?
Haha, you are concentrating on making money and don't care about other things, but the job of the hooligans around you is to watch you make money and collect protection fees.
Want to hide?
Basically dreaming.
No, you can't show it!
You can survive in Baishi Town without making a lot of money!
In other words, the cost of the raw materials of the sauce is extremely low, which these family's spies and thugs can't expect at all. Otherwise, at least three-quarters of the net profit of 200 black coppers per day must be handed over to keep the profit margin to the minimum and work for the family.
Don't agree?
Do you have the corresponding force to fight back?
In other words, does an ordinary person want to fight against a family with a large number of spiritual root resurrectors?
