Chapter 1128: Go to the capital to stay in a hotel and make friends
When Long Xiao came to the capital, he asked which inn was the best, and the people in the capital asked Long Xiao what he was here for. Long Xiao said that he came to the martial arts examination, and the kind-hearted person told Long Xiao that it was best for those who rushed to take the exam to live in Zhuangyuan Village, which was a more famous inn in the capital, the conditions were very good, and the name was also a good sign. Long Xiao went straight to Zhuangyuan Village.
When he came to Zhuangyuan Village, Long Xiao arranged to stay, it was relatively safe here, Long Xiao rented five rooms, one for the coachman, three for himself, his eldest brother and Wu Xin to live in, and another room for Li Xiangjun to live in. Subsequently, Long Zhi exchanged all the gold for silver tickets. Long Xiao's 1,000 taels of gold were exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and they were placed on his body, and the 50,000 taels of silver tickets brought by the family were held by the eldest brother Long Zhi, and Li Xiangjun's 100 taels of gold, Long Xiao also let him exchange them into 10,000 taels of silver tickets and save them. Long Xiao casually gave each of the coachmen 500 taels of silver tickets, and also asked them to buy some things in the capital, casually chic, the two coachmen were very happy, this is ten times the annual salary of the nursing home at home, the two of them are naturally very happy, and they feel that they are coming to the capital with the young master.
After Long Xiao and Long Zhi settled down, Long Zhi went to the Long family's cloth shop in the capital, Long's cloth shop. Long Xiao took Wu Xin and Li Xiangjun to find a guide at the Zhuangyuan Village Inn, wandered around the capital for a long time, and finally found a shop facing the street. The owner of this shop has closed down due to poor management, but the yard is very good, and the house is not very old, just tidy it up.
Long Xiao asked the guide to negotiate with the owner of the store, and after bargaining, Long Xiao bought it at a price of 2,000 taels of silver, and then discussed with Wu Xin what to operate. Long Xiao decided to operate food and jewelry. Wu Xin agreed, so he divided the store into two halves, one for grain, one for gold and silver jewelry, Long Xiao gave the guide 10 taels of silver, and asked the guide to recruit 10 people who know martial arts to see the nursery, and also recruited some grain store guys, and gold and silver jewelry craftsmen and guys. Long Xiao said that as long as he found all of them and paid another 10 taels of silver, the guide would go happily.
In less than half a day, the guide returned, and brought with him a large group of people, including 10 samurai, 10 men from the grain store, five gold and silver craftsmen, and five men from the gold and silver store. Long Xiao discussed with Wu Xin that the annual salary for each warrior was 120 taels of silver, and the warrior was very happy. Now the price of the samurai in the capital is only 50 taels per year, and Long Xiao has 120 taels, so they are naturally happy.
The guy in the grain store and the guy in the jewelry store is no one 12 taels a year, the annual salary of five gold and silver craftsmen is, the basic salary is 12 taels plus the commission for making jewelry, no one is 1% of the turnover of their own jewelry every year, the craftsmen are very happy, a calculation, if the turnover of their own jewelry is 100,000 taels, it is 1,000 taels of silver, and the craftsmen are naturally very happy. In addition, Long Xiao asked Wu Xin to take out the silver, and each person was given a settling-in fee of 50 taels, and everyone shouted in unison, all of them were Long Xiao is a good person. So the grain store and the jewelry store were packed up in only three days and started to open.
Long Xiao personally supervised the store for three days, and the grain he handled was the cheapest and the best quality, and it was bought one get one free within ten days of opening. Gold and silver jewelry stores are also available, as long as customers come to buy jewelry, as long as they buy more than two pieces of gold and silver jewelry, they will get one free gift. The business methods of the two stores are basically the same, and they soon became a sensation in Beijing.
Long Xiao called the grain store Long's grain store, and the gold and silver jewelry store was a masterpiece of Long's gold store. Within three days, Long's grain store and gold and silver store were well-known in the capital, and the situation was quickly opened. Wu Xin saw that Long Xiao was so proficient in the art of management, and couldn't help but admire it, so he asked for some business knowledge. Long Xiao told Wu Xin some of his experience in his previous life, Wu Xin is inexhaustible, and the business is getting better and better, this is a later story.
Long Xiao returned to Zhuangyuan Village, and the eldest brother Long Zhi also returned, Long Xiao: "Big brother, how is our cloth shop?" Long Zhi said with a smile: "I don't know how to operate, but our cloth is of good quality, and many dyeing workshops and cloth shops have signed contracts with our cloth shops, which are basically in short supply, and they are not enough to sell, what should I do?" ”。 Long Xiao smiled: "It's not simple, there are only 300 machines at home, as long as you add machines, our house is so big, what does it matter if you increase it to 1,000 machines?" ”。
Long Zhi was a little surprised: "Can it work?" How do you manage these 1,000 machines? Long Xiao smiled: "Our dad is not seventy or eighty, I see no problem with 1,000 machines, you go back and write a letter at home, let our dad buy another 700 sets of machines." Long Zhi: "It's better for you to write, I'm not good at this kind of thing, the 300 machines at home are your idea, Dad listens to you, won't listen to me, I will practice martial arts." Long Xiao agreed. The two brothers were discussing and talking, when the innkeeper came in.
"The contemptible surname is Zhuo, called Zhuo Baiji, he is the shopkeeper of this champion village, and when he saw the two sons coming in, he came to ask, what kind of service do you need?" Long Zhi came to the capital for the first time, and so did Long Xiao, but Long Xiao had experience in his previous life and knew that this was the boss who came in to ask for a reward, so he smiled and took out 10 taels of silver and handed it to Zhuo Baiji: "Boss Zhuo, then you can tell me, what kind of services do you have in Zhuangyuan Village?" ”。
"Back to Gongzi, we have a maid who washes and cooks in Zhuangyuan Village, which is 2 taels of silver per month, a maid who warms the bed, which is five taels of silver per month, and there are people and artists who play and sing, each time it is one or two silver, and even the maid who cooks is also extremely standard, I don't believe that Gongzi will see for himself." Long Zhi didn't understand, so he asked: "I know this laundry and cooking, and I also know how to blow and play and sing, what does this bed warmer mean?" ”。 Long Xiao smiled and didn't answer, and Zhuo Baiji took the trouble to explain: "It's the maid who sleeps with the son", Long Zhi still didn't understand, Long Xiao was already laughing.
Although Long Xiao was only 8 years old in the other world, he was almost fifty years old in his previous life, so he naturally knew these things, but he was just a prostitute in disguise, which is to say something better. Long Xiao said a few words on Long Zhi's ear, and Long Zhi's face turned red: "I don't want it, what a mess", Long Xiao quipped: "Big brother, you are already 17, you can find one to try", Long Zhi said angrily: "I said fourth brother, you are only eight years old, how can you know so many messy things, why don't I know?" Long Xiao: "Hehe, I read a lot in Qinglong Temple." Long Zhi didn't believe it either; "The books of Qinglong Temple have these things? I don't think the monks of Qinglong Temple are serious," Long Xiao laughed.
Long Zhi: "Don't warm the bed, you don't want a cooking girl, the others are exempt, just use a cooking girl for the two of us." Zhuo Baiji smiled: "Two people sharing one will add money, even if you have 3 taels of silver a month, Childe, what do you think?" Long Zhi agreed. The boss left happily, and after a while, a beautiful girl, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, said that her name was Chunlan. It seems that he is still literate, Long Zhi was very happy, so he gave the girl five taels of silver and asked Chunlan to go to the street to buy vegetables and wheat noodles.
Long Xiao was wandering in the yard, he heard a commotion, Long Xiao liked to see the excitement, so he walked over, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Zhuo Baiji was arguing with a person, Zhuo Baiji: "I said Qi Gongzi, you owe 20 taels of room money, plus food and water money, it's almost 30 taels, if you don't pay the bill, I want to pick up someone", then Qi Gongzi begged: "Boss Zhuo, I have sent a letter to my family, and the money will be sent soon, not bad for your money." Zhuo Baiji; "I don't like to hear this, you've said it hundreds of times, it's almost three months, why don't you send money, don't you live at the ends of the earth, even if it is, it should be there."
Long Xiao went over to ask, it turned out that Qi Gongzi's name was Qi Xuanjiang, he was from the Daimyo Mansion, and he had been here for almost half a year, and when he came, he also brought tens of thousands of taels of silver, but he fell in love with a top brand in Qingfeng Yuan, and in order to get her, he spent all his savings, and the woman saw that Qi Xuanjiang had no money, so she blasted Qi Xuanjiang out. Long Xiao understood that Qingfeng Yuan was a brothel, and what good people could be in it, it was nothing more than coveting Qi Gongzi's money, which was called fishing. Long Xiao had also heard about it in his previous life, but he saw it in books, it was all ancient things, and in his previous life, there were no public brothels, and they were all underground lovers. Long Xiao looked at this Qi Gongzi pitifully, and saw that he was talented, so he was moved by compassion.
