Chapter 76: Apology

These three people were wearing the new official uniforms given to them by the imperial court, but their expressions were unusually ugly, and the imperial court's trick of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle made them unreasonable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough they are the children of the three surnames of Longxi, but on this kind of critical matter, they can only stand aside in the imperial court and Longxi County, and now they have accepted the imperial court's edict.

The three of them also knew that the imperial court's edict was not for them, and the purpose of the imperial court was to show the children of Longxi in the capital and let them feel at ease; The second is to show Dong Zeming, the guard of Longxi County, and tell him that the children of the three surnames in the capital have been bought by the imperial court. If the three surnames of Longxi knew that their clansmen in the capital had all been surrendered to the imperial court, this would definitely be a huge blow to their morale!

........

It has been three days since the incident, and the four streets and alleys have returned to their former liveliness, but the three most prosperous shops on the inner side of the fourth street have not opened.

"Miss Li, our shop has also been given to you, and the goods have been donated to the imperial court, why did you invite a few of us over?" Shopkeeper Peng was very displeased, obviously angry about Li Xiaoyu's clever tricks to deceive them into running the storefront.

"Xiao Peng, don't talk yet, let's listen to what Miss thinks first, this time you have to listen carefully, don't miss anything." Old Man Li was the oldest, and at this time he waved his hand, and the shopkeeper Peng sat down unconvinced.

Li Xiaoyu would have expected this to happen, Peng has the worst temper among the three shopkeepers, he is bold, and the old man Li is highly respected, so the contradiction between Peng and Dong is very sharp, but fortunately, there is old man Li in it. Moreover, this old man Li is also the president of the Longxi Chamber of Commerce and the Longxi Association in the capital, strictly speaking, Peng and Dong are both the juniors of Old Man Li.

"Elder Li, I invited the three of you this time to thank the three of you, of course, I also want to talk to the three of you about some business!"

Shopkeeper Peng slowly stood up, patted his ass with both hands, and then was about to walk out, "Hmph, there's nothing to talk about, we have nothing but the "fertile land" that His Majesty has rewarded us with?" ”

"Wait, I'm not done yet, are you leaving?" Li Xiaoyu slowly hung a huge painting scroll on the screen, and looked at the curious eyes of the three people, Li Xiaoyu smiled with satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Dong tightened his throat, the experience he encountered in the past few days was really "wonderful", a Li Xiaoyu who was not yet twenty years old, but the three of them were played around, and he became sick all of a sudden, and his throat has been uncomfortable and coughing for the past few days. At this time, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What do you mean by showing me this picture?" ”

Li Xiaoyu took out a wooden stick, walked briskly to the side of the screen, and said loudly, "The three of you have been doing business in these four streets and four lanes for many years, I don't know if the three of you have taken a good look at the geographical location of our four streets and four lanes?" ”

Shopkeeper Peng stood on the ground of Li Xiaoyu with his shoulders crossed, his eyes just glanced at the map, and then said slowly, "These four streets and four lanes, from Dongdaqiao in the west, to Qinglongmen in the east, and from Tongtian HB to Wuyangmen in the south, it is estimated that there are thirteen acres of land. ”

"Four alleys and four streets, the left ring leads to the Tianhe, the right side of the Daming Palace, the north pillow out of the city road, the south placket market is the place of merchants, Cheng is the city in the city." Old Man Li pointed to the four streets and alleys in the middle and said very seriously, while Shopkeeper Dong nodded approvingly.

"Miss Li, don't go around in circles, we are all businessmen, it's boring to go around like this, it's better to explain it directly." The shopkeeper Dong leaned his hands on the table, looking at Li Xiaoyu with sharp eyes.

"It's still comfortable to talk to smart people, I want to create a CBD in these four streets and four lanes, so that the four lanes and four streets will become the most prosperous places in the entire capital!" Li Xiaoyu's tone was bold, and everyone present couldn't understand what Li Xiaoyu was saying, except for Ke Ruixiang, who had already discussed with Li Xiaoyu.

"CBD means Central Business District, which refers to the area in Chang'an City where major business activities take place. Simply put, it means "a meeting place for business". I want to make these four streets and four alleys the economic development center of Chang'an City and even the whole country. Li Xiaoyu took a red cinnabar pen and drew a circle on the location of the four streets and alleys on the map.

After the circle was finished, the three old shopkeepers present felt as if Li Xiaoyu was holding a cinnabar pen and nodding it in their hearts.

Shopkeeper Dong saw Li Xiaoyu's ambition, swallowed a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then propped himself up unhurriedly, pointing to the big circle on the map, "Miss Li, although I don't understand what you mean, but there is something I have to tell you, the big circle of four streets and four lanes is full of more than 1,000 shops, although you have great ambitions, but I'm afraid you have more than enough heart and not enough strength, right?" ”

When he said this, Li Xiaoyu smiled quite embarrassedly, rolled up his long sleeves, and slowly took out a stack of thick title deeds from his cuffs. "Hehe, I made a little difference in the business with the imperial court, and after the Chinese New Year, there is nothing to do, so I will send someone down to put as many stores in the fourth lane as you can, don't say it, the fourth lane is separated from our fourth street by a Kangwang Mansion, but the price of the store is more than ten times lower!"

Looking at the pile of land deeds on the table, Shopkeeper Dong only felt that his head was dazed for a while, and his face, which had become pale because of typhoid fever, became more and more ruddy, "Miss Li, how much money did you spend on this transaction?" "Dare to love Li Xiaoyu, this has been planned a long time ago, she is not ready to move the idea of the four streets at all, she is directly aiming at the tattered four alleys behind King Kang's mansion.

If the Fourth Street is a place for the children of rich families in the capital to play and entertain, then the Fourth Lane is the territory of the poor. All the businessmen with names and surnames in the capital will not do business in the four lanes, and the place is broken, and there is not even a single brick house in the whole place as big as the four lanes.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but admire Li Xiaoyu a little, her ideas were really wild, and she was really decisive, he flipped through these land deeds, and found that these land deeds were still numbered.

"Hehe, there are not many paintings, a thatched shack to buy sugar, ten dollars of silver can't be used, and the better ones are two hundred and thirty-two stores, a total of more than eight hundred taels of silver." Li Xiaoyu's index finger tapped lightly on the table, and those people all took a sharp breath.

Old Man Li's eyebrows fluttered, and he said happily with a shy old face, "My eldest niece, you have so many shops in this plate, can you be busy alone?" ”

Huh~ Ke asked the point, Li Xiaoyu, called them over today, just because there is no one under her hands, she is not a god, to say that the management of these stores now, it is barely okay, but now it is different, the industry under his hands is three times more, which is not something she can manage alone.

"Actually, I invite the three of you here today, I want to set up a banquet here to apologize to the three elders!" Li Xiaoyu said very sincerely, the green radish is also quite eye-catching, Li Xiaoyu bowed, she immediately began to serve, and one after another delicious dishes were brought to the table, but none of the three old men moved their chopsticks, they all looked at Li Xiaoyu with interest.
