Chapter 15 Making Money
Making money is a very cautious matter in Baishi Town.
In one year, Yun Ye not only improved his cultivation and knowledge, but more importantly, he got to know 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 in Baishi Town was clear and work could begin.
The entire Baishi Town is divided into four parts.
One, the ruler of Baishi Town, the government.
The government has control over the army, and has a large number of spiritual root resurrectors serving, making it the strongest class in the entire White Rock Town.
The managers of the government are not town mayors or county magistrates, but are called spiritual law officials.
The head of the Ji family has served as the chief official of the spiritual law in past dynasties. He possesses overwhelming force and is unmatched by anyone in Baishi Town...
At least that's what the books and the children of the aristocratic families say.
As the private domain of the Ji family, the government also generally intervened in important industries and was committed to keeping the majority of the profits in its own arms.
The spiritual talisman that the Yang family purchased before came from the government, and no one else could sell it.
Since the government is involved in hugely profitable industries, and the threshold is very high, it does not conflict with Yun Ye's money-making plan, but you still have to be careful.
The second part is the aristocratic family.
A certain aristocratic family in Baishi Town already had the power to compete with the government, and it was able to hoard resources openly and covertly without any problems.
If you want to create something epoch-making, you must first face the oppression of these aristocratic families.
Part three, businessmen.
The local businessmen in Baishi Town are all supported by aristocratic families, but it is not without outsiders. Some outsiders have great backgrounds. Even major aristocratic families and the government do not dare to suppress them, but they are also unwilling to conflict with local forces and affect their money making. , on the contrary, it is the most stable type.
As for the fourth part, there is no need to go into details, it can be summed up in two words: leeks.
After roughly understanding the situation of the four major parts of Baishi Town.
Yun Ye cleared all his plans to make big money from his mind.
The reason is simple.
What is the theme of Feudal Era?
Land annexation.
Dominate the market.
Collect rent, collect protection fees, train thugs, build forts, become stronger, and then repeat the above steps.
In a small place like Baishi Town, once the snowball starts rolling, it will cover the sky with one hand.
Nowadays, aristocratic families can compete with the government. A little bug who dares to run out to snatch food is simply impatient and looking for death.
Therefore, Yun Ye must not make money on a large scale. He must be the least eye-catching, the simplest, and even feel insignificant. Otherwise, if he is targeted, he will definitely die.
So Yun Ye came up with the simplest and simplest way to make money.
Food!
Food is the most important thing for people. This is the most profitable industry, but it is also the most easily ignored.
What he gave Wang Yao to taste was a sauce he made himself. From Wang Yao's reaction, it can be seen that it has great potential.
According to the investigation.
There is already a citizen class in White Rock Town.
Commoners all have jobs, such as refining ores for aristocratic families, practicing herbal medicines, grinding spiritual ink, and even working as servants, washing clothes, and even working in flower houses.
These jobs can support a family. If you can't awaken your spiritual roots, working in these places is actually far more promising than working in a small village.
However, the disadvantage is that freedom is limited. No matter it is a noble family or a flower house, they will not allow fluctuations in production, so once you sign, you sign for life, and there is no second option.
As for the money-making jobs provided by government forces, they are also a routine. Once you sign for life, there is no job that you can quit midway, whether it is production type or...
Spiritual Root Resurrectionist!
Yes.
Even spiritual root resuscitators can't break free from this big net, they can just be more dignified.
As a reincarnation, Yun Ye clearly knows that all powerlessness is due to lack of strength, so he doesn't care about these rules and regulations. The reason why he doesn't join is that these jobs are not profitable enough, or they trample on the bottom line and waste time too much.
Compared with these troublesome tasks, it would be a hundred times faster to buy some beans and salt and make the sauce according to the recipe in memory.
Although the prepared sauces are only served in ordinary earthenware jars, the scarcity of the seasonings makes the value of these small earthenware jars soar a hundredfold.
The most important thing is that this is only a plant-based sauce and the cost is extremely low.
If the whole can is sold to a wealthy person, 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 grab it.
So Yun Ye can only do a little packaging——
Sell snacks.
Yun Ye couldn't do this kind of thing himself. He needed to practice and study, so in order not to waste time, Yun Ye approached Wang Yao and three civilians.
These four people are all candidates he has been observing for a long time. At least on the surface, the probability of problems is very small.
Yun Ye handed the sauce to Wang Yao, then asked him to contact three other civilians and hired them to make food for sale.
After promising to share 30% of their profits, these three people couldn't wait to agree, and even patted their chests and swore that they would never let Yun Ye down.
The reason is very simple. There are no spices produced in Baishi Town. You can only add salt or various rare elixirs when cooking.
In this world where force is paramount and everything depends on robbing, innovation is basically nil, 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-based sauces are simply king. Not to mention compared with the chefs raised by aristocratic families, at least making a living in Baishi Town is completely fine. It is basically free money.
As for those foods that use spiritual medicine as seasonings...
They are delicious.
But even the family of the spiritual law official cannot afford this way of eating, and it does not affect Yunye's business.
To be honest, the reason why Yunye did not 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 the raw materials are unique, and they are only the lowest-grade excellent food, and the production process is not complicated.
Otherwise, even if it is just raised by one level, the taste will be greatly reduced.
For those rich people, if they don't have the conditions, forget it. If they have the conditions, they will definitely not mind paying more for better taste.
Once the market is facing the richest group in the entire Baishi Town, the money that can be earned is not a small amount of money.
This kind of big money, Yunye has the life to make it, but not the life to spend it, so he will not participate.
He only needs to eat the lowest-level 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 are enough to shock the school. If there is still a problem in this situation, Yun Ye can only say... I don't want to stay for a second! And the actual results are indeed under control. The three people have a net profit of about two hundred black coppers a day. After deducting 30%, Yun Ye can also receive more than one hundred. 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 ruffians 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! That is to say, the cost of the raw materials of the sauce is extremely low, and these family spies and thugs could not have anticipated it at all. Otherwise, at least three-quarters of the net profit of two hundred black coppers per day would have to be paid, so that the profit margin would be reduced to the minimum and they would work for the family.
Disagree?
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?
