As spring plowing approaches, the business of various farm tool shops in Shanyang County is gradually getting better.

The plan for the year is in spring. Preparing some good farm tools for spring plowing is the idea of ​​many farmers at this time.

Therefore, the business of Cuiji Agricultural Tool Store located in West City is very good, and the shopkeeper is also very happy.

"Shopkeeper, two people are parked at the door of our store." The guy standing at the door turned around and reported to the shopkeeper.

"Oh." The shopkeeper who was busy settled the accounts only responded casually and did not care.

The most common farmers in his farm tools shop are from common farmers.

Even if there are a few guests who are dressed better occasionally, they are all rich peasants and servants from landlords.

Where would there be any rich people sitting in a sedan chair come in? I guess they just passed by.

"Go to get started!" The shopkeeper was thinking this way, but the guy shouted, but he woke him up.

The shopkeeper looked up and saw two young men in gorgeous clothes walking into the store accompanied by a beautiful maid and several followers.

The shopkeeper was stunned in disbelief. He could not have imagined what the rich young master came to his farm tool shop to do.

"Shopkeeper, won't you say hello?" The young man with a friendly smile who walked in first took the initiative to say hello.

The shopkeeper then realized and agreed to meet him repeatedly: "Hello, two young masters, what do you want to see? I'll introduce you to you."

These two teenagers are naturally Han Tao and Ma Yuan, and the maid Yu'er is following behind.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, Han Tao looked at the various iron farm tools, including plows, turtles, shovels, hoes, rakes, sickles and other iron farm tools displayed in the store, and there were all kinds of them.

Han Tao kept nodding and applauding: "Not bad, not bad!"

When the shopkeeper heard Han Tao’s praise, he also had a smile on his face, thinking that this rich young master actually knew how to evaluate farm tools?

"Shopkeeper, how many farm tools are there in your store besides these?" Han Tao asked.

"There is still a warehouse behind. If the young master needs more, I can arrange someone to rush to make it right away."

The shopkeeper heard Han Tao's tone. This was a big deal and responded enthusiastically.

"Oh, take me to see your raw materials. I have to make sure that the farm tools you make in your store must be of excellent quality." Han Tao made a request to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed: "Yes, yes, please, the young master."

The shopkeeper led Han Tao and others to the warehouse in the backyard and asked Han Tao to check the original iron ore stored in the warehouse.

After seeing it, Han Tao nodded with satisfaction and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to sell all the iron tools and farm tools in your store, as well as your store, to me?"

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard Han Tao's words, and then he realized: "Young Master, are you going to buy my store?"

"To be precise, it's half-buying and half-renting. All the materials in your store belong to me, and everyone including you stayed behind to do a month's work for me."

"In a month, if I no longer need this store, I will send it back to you directly."

"If I still need to continue making things, I can continue to pay your wages and hire you to continue working."

"If you think it is feasible, just offer a price?" Han Tao directly expressed his thoughts.

In one month, you can get a huge sum of money first. If the other party doesn’t want it, you can even return the store. This is a great thing.

Even if the other party wants it, he can continue to work here and make money.

If it doesn’t work, it’s okay to open a store again after a month.

No matter how you calculate it, this deal is cost-effective.

The shopkeeper was very happy and realized that this was a business that was profitable without losing money. He hurriedly asked, "I wonder what job we want us to do for you this month?"

"Smel all the farm tools and iron tools in your store to create military swords and bows for me!" Han Tao said his request to the shopkeeper.

When he realized that the way to buy weapons directly at the weapon store was blocked, Han Tao immediately thought of a roundabout way.

This inspiration was still prompted by the current Red Army predecessors. In order to fight against the White Dogzi, the Red Army used all available resources at that time.

The people in the red zone also supported them, donating their farm tools and even iron pots to create big swords and spears for the Red Army.

Han Tao was also inspired by this and thought of buying iron and agricultural tools from the farm tools store and then hiring them to build weapons for himself.

Although this took a lot of trouble, it was better than nothing.

"Young master, you need weapons, you can buy them directly at the weapons store. Why bother with such trouble?" The shopkeeper asked Han Tao in confusion.

"What did you do so much? You just said whether you should do it or not? If you don't, we will find the next one to discuss it." Ma Yuan stood up and urged the boss.

"Do it, do it! I'll do it. Please ask the two young masters to go to the front hall for tea and wait a moment. I'll quote the price for you as soon as possible." The shopkeeper agreed repeatedly.

Han Tao nodded slowly and took Ma Yuan to the front hall with the shopkeeper.

After careful calculations, the shopkeeper reported the raw materials, goods, and the price of labor in the store to Han Tao, which was fair.

After all, 200,000 yuan can be used to complete the number of weapons Han Tao wanted to buy in the weapons store in twenty days.

In order to prevent any further changes, Han Tao directly paid all the money when signing an agreement with the shopkeeper, and stipulated that if the shopkeeper unilaterally breached the contract, ten times the compensation would be required.

Although the shopkeeper had some doubts about the compensation figure, Han Tao gave him quite generous conditions. He was sure that he would not breach the contract, so he agreed.

After signing the agreement, watching the shopkeeper explaining to the iron thugs in the store to start making weapons, Han Tao then breathed a sigh of relief. His method of "save the country through curves" finally worked...

In the private room of the best restaurant in Shanyang, Han Tao and Ma Yuan sat opposite each other, and Yu'er stood beside him and served.

"It's so satisfying! Boss, I really hope to see Han Chong now."

"If he knew that boss, you came up with such a good idea to ask the farm tools to help us build weapons, that little white face would probably be furious." Ma Yuan smiled proudly and complimented Han Tao.

"It's not time to be happy now, and it's time to make weapons before they can be considered really stable."

"Han Chong is a man who is very tricky. If he knew that I wanted to collect farm tools and then smelter weapons, he would definitely not stand by. We must beware of him being in secret."

Han Tao reminded Ma Yuan.

"He can't control the iron supply of these farm tools stores anymore, right? What's more, you have bought that store, boss."

"The boss and the blacksmith are both hired by you, so they will sign a huge compensation for you to sign an agreement. They must also complete the production of these weapons for you. What are you afraid of?"

Ma Yuan was obviously very optimistic about this matter and had no sense of crisis at all.

"It's of course no point when he goes to control the raw material supply in the ironware store. But he can make trouble for us so that our weapons cannot be successfully made."

"For example, he could hire someone to sneak into our blacksmith shop and set fire while the workers were not prepared! Don't forget that he could even burn his own brocade robe to frame me, what else could he do?"

Han Tao calmly spoke out the three bad methods that Han Chong might use.

"Boss, you're right, what should we do?" Ma Yuan became nervous.

"Fortunately, in addition to the money he spent before and the cost of buying something today, we still have several thousand dollars."

"Then I'll buy a few slaves to come back, so that they can cheer up their spirits day and night to ensure that our weapons can be successfully made." Han Tao expressed his thoughts.

At this time, we can only strengthen "security" and prevent Han Chong from causing trouble in secret.

"Okay, we'll go after dinner later." Ma Yuan also felt that Han Tao's proposal made sense.

Yu'er, who had been standing by serving, stepped forward and poured a glass of wine for Han Tao, and then asked carefully: "Young Master, there is something I haven't figured out."

"What's the matter? You tell me." This little girl is smart and smart, loyal and obedient. Han Tao has a good impression of her.

I also know that the questions she raised at this time are likely to be details of her neglect.

"Young Master, you arranged for someone to build weapons. You rushed to the master to directly control the weapons store. In that month, you will have the same weapon in your hands to sell."

"Then why do you decide that you can beat him?" Yu'er asked with her big eyes blinking.

Yu'er's words made Han Tao stunned. He had only wanted to seize the most intimate products to fight for greater benefits.

That's why he designed the design at all costs and arranged for Liu He to buy weapons. After encountering problems, he turned to buy agricultural tools to make weapons.

But just as Yu'er said, Han Chong also realized the importance of weapons and would definitely stockpile a certain amount of weapons.

After that month, both of them had similar weapons, and the price they sold would not be much different. The winner might be a slight slight margin, and no one would be sure to win.

"Yu'er, what you said is really right. If you hadn't reminded you that we would have been so stupid to build weapons, maybe Han Chong would have come up with other ways to make money."

Han Tao couldn't help but stand up and saluted Yu'er: "I really want to thank you very much."

Han Tao's actions scared Yu'er. She hurriedly dodged: "Young Master, I am your maid. I remind you that it is right. Why did you give me such a big tribute? I can't afford to be it."

"I said you should, just take it. Come on, stop busy, sit down quickly, help the young master, what else can I do?" Han Tao called Yu'er to sit down together.

"There is no seat in front of the young master..." Yu'er hurriedly refused.

"Oh, little beauty, just sit down. Sooner or later, you are my boss, so why would you refuse..."

Ma Yuan couldn't help but interrupt and tried to persuade Yu'er, but then he felt Han Tao's fierce look like a sword, and he held back the words behind him.

"You said that I am your young master, then you have to listen to me. I'll let you sit down, and you sit down."

"Let's not talk about these useless things. Let's find a way together to see if there are other ways to increase income." Han Tao urged Yu'er.

Only then did Yu'er kneel down at a place far away from Han Tao and Ma Yuan...
