Chapter 344: Smashing the field again
Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside the door: "The surname is Nalan, come out for me!" "Well, there's another gang smashing the field.
Four crooked melons and cracked dates appeared at the door. They saw that there were too many people inside, and they were afraid that their families would suffer if they couldn't show it. The first one is a little older than thirty years old, the other two are in their twenties, and the other one is probably sixteen or seventeen years old at most. One by one, they take figure-eight steps and hunch their waists, a bit like eunuchs, and a bit like Japanese sumo.
"Guys, what's the matter?" Donggui clenched his fists.
"Hey! Is there something wrong? Dare is a mallet! If you want to make a fortune in trading, do you still want to gain a foothold on this territory if you don't honor our brothers? โ
"How many of you are from the yamen? The officials in the yamen don't dare to openly ask for filial piety, isn't that asking for bribes? I'm sorry everybody. โ
"Stop, come with us if you don't understand, and we'll teach you the rules."
"Coming with you? My little shop has just opened, can I leave? You said let me go with you, and I'll go with you? You were a three-year-old child who cried when I was scared? Besides, I don't know you either, so why do I want to go with you? โ
"This kid doesn't understand, then knock him down, thin monkey, you go first."
The name Skinny Monkey is too worthy of the name, and there is only a layer of skin left in the skin, and inside is a skeleton shelf, and Donggui is afraid that he will kick him away and deceive himself. But the thin monkey didn't appreciate Donggui's hesitation. I thought that Donggui saw that they were so scared, so he waved his arm as fine as a hemp pole, and came up with his teeth and claws.
"you." Donggui stretched out his hand and pushed, and the thin monkey was on all fours. He didn't expect Nalan to dare to do it with him.
The other guy who was relatively stout and had a layer of black hair on his arms, stood there with his hands crossed on his waist, looking at Donggui with empty eyes, Donggui saw that his posture was pretending to be garlic, anyway, he did it, no matter who he was, he stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach, but the man didn't lie down, bent over and knelt down. The third one seemed to be Lian Jiazi, pulling away the stance, stretching his chin forward, looking like he was determined to win, and then suddenly rushed over, flew up a leg, and kicked at Donggui with all his strength, Donggui dodged and took half a step back, and the man kicked to a tree in front of him, "Bar chirp" fell to the ground, holding his leg and shouting.
Everyone applauded Donggui.
The young man didn't dare to try and hid behind a tree.
The power of public opinion cannot be underestimated. The novelty of the Nalan Department Store was spread by the people of this part of Dongcheng, and more people came to patronize the store. In order to prevent the appearance of Deng disciples molesting women in the crowd, Tian Liang gave Nalan Donggui an idea: twenty people enter the store every time, seize the time to select goods, go out through the back door when they buy, and put a few people in when they go out, so that there will be no money bags stolen and girls "eating tofu" by Deng disciples. There are also pro-soldiers to maintain order. Later, I simply pulled a rope in the backyard of the department store and hung up all the goods that could be hung up for sale. The backyard is a quadrangle, twenty pro-soldiers from the palace to maintain order, the goods and guests choose their own, to the door ** money, everyone is watching, no one dares to take it away, it is a bit of a supermarket. The shop sells small items such as earrings, rings, and hairpins that are easy to carry in your arms.
With five days to go before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yun'er taught the exotic card issuing method to the seven teaching grandmothers, and then they taught it to all the girls and grandmothers in the house. This ornament was not available in the Qing Dynasty. Yun'er is a raw material for Yiwu small commodities transported from the underground secret room. It was originally a very simple two-minute wide plastic hairpin without any decoration. Yun'er evenly glued the half-round steamed bun-shaped colored beads to the hairpin with all-purpose glue, and one hairpin can stick five semi-circular colored beads. Just add such a little decoration, and the hairpin will suddenly become noble. Color beads are imitation pearl color, size, black, red, blue, green hairpin sticking to white, pink, red and other colors of plastic color beads, stuck in the sideburns, not only to play a beautiful role, but also to hold the sideburns broken hair. In addition to the colored bead decoration, there are also rhinestones and crystal glass, which is really a beautiful decoration. Whether it is a Manchu or a Han woman, it can be used. You must be careful not to stick your fingers.
These girls and grandmothers in the house naturally like them, and Yun'er is in charge of each girl, and each girl is rewarded with a pair of colored beads, rhinestones, and crystal glass hairpins.
All kinds of finished product cards have become fast goods when they are taken to Nalan Department Store, five cents and ten cents a piece, and the purchase is limited to one pair of each kind. The girl who was lucky enough to catch up liked it so much that she wanted to scream a few times, and such a beautiful thing must be bought back as a dowry in the future!
They are all small goods, a few pennies a piece, so the payment for the goods is made of money, that is, copper coins one by one. After closing, Nalan Donggui and his guys really counted the money until their hands cramped, and they were all packed in baskets, and a thousand pieces were only a hanging money, and a hanging money was equal to a tael of silver. The turnover is more than 100 taels, including Donggui and the guys, and they yawn for days as they count the money. Although it was hard, Donggui was still very happy. The preliminary dividend plan is to keep half of the capital and half of the profit. The prince suffers from such a division. In general, the business is one percent profit, and the remaining ninety percent is the capital. But the prince knew that he had already earned money when he exchanged antiques for money. But if you don't need to make money for the emperor, then everyone will say that the prince sells his reputation and reputation, and if he does that, he will really lose money. If ninety percent is left as the capital, one percent of the profit will not only be given to the emperor, but also to the operators and processors, and that amount will be very small. Besides, now we are selling the ready-made goods that we brought back, and in the future, when these goods are sold out, we will have to spend money, right? At that time, there was a famine, and the emperor asked for silver? Why not? And two years later, the emperor of Shunzhi returned to the west, and Kangxi succeeded to the throne.
In this way, fifty percent of the capital is left, and the rest is counted as pure profit. Some goods are really fifty percent of the cost. The profits were divided into ten shares, five of which were deposited into the treasury by the emperor, and one of the remaining five was given to the operators and four to the processors. Because there are many people involved in the processing, it is also very hard. There are also goods that are ready-made and do not need to be processed, such as cloth and handicrafts, there is no processing fee, and the processing fee is also set aside, and the money is used for disaster relief, and natural disasters can not be avoided in any dynasty. At the very least, we can give some porridge and rice to the victims, so that as few people as possible will die of starvation. If there is a plague, give it up. Wang Ye said in the "History of the Qing Dynasty" that three years after Kangxi, there were several major snow disasters, and many people froze to death.
Thinking of the snow disaster, the prince thought of the cloth that Yun'er bought, and whether there were unformed pieces of cloth in it that could be put together into clothes and quilts? Do disaster victims and beggars still care if the clothes and quilts given by others look good? It's lucky to be able to keep out the cold and not freeze to death.
Yun'er has learned patchwork, and there is a sewing machine in the house, so make it now and keep it, and send it to refugees when the time comes, and one less will freeze to death.
There are also times when disaster relief is mostly porridge, too dry to give up, too thin to be hungry. The prince thought of sweet potatoes again. Sweet potatoes can be used as food, and the yield is also very high. There are chemical fertilizers in foreign lands, and the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is 5,000 catties to 10,000 catties. In the Qing Dynasty, even if the yield per mu is 3,000 catties, it is much higher than the grain yield. It is impossible for the disaster victims to give him white rice and fried meat, it is good to be able to satisfy his stomach. A sweet potato and a bowl of porridge will be full.
The prince told Yun'er what he thought, and Yun'er thought it was very good. I have a lot of small cloth heads in my hand, and I am worried about how to use those fragmentary cloth corners, and the prince has a way to consume these cloth heads. It is much faster to put the cloth together with a sewing machine, and it is the kind of clothes and quilts that are made before the snow disaster arrives, and then they are distributed to the refugees. This task can be completed completely, and as for the sweet potato, the prince has to solve it himself.
The prince didn't tell Fu Jin about these two things, because he felt that it was a little earlier now. The prince didn't want Fujin to get involved in Yun'er's affairs, and she had a lot of her own affairs.
After two smashing sessions, Nalan Department Store remained unaffected and continued to open. But it has also attracted the attention of many merchants. Nalan Donggui, the shopkeeper of Nalan Department Store, was just a merchant walking the streets and alleys before opening the store, how could he have the financial resources and ability to handle those goods that the Qing Dynasty did not have? So there are all kinds of characters who come to talk to each other. As long as you figure out the purchase channels of the Nalan shopkeeper, you can buy the goods yourself, and then it will be a daily profit!
It's a pity that the shopkeeper of Nalan just didn't tell them, only said that the owner asked him to sell it on his behalf. Never say who the owner is.
Nalan Donggui's department store has attracted more and more attention from all walks of life, and some imperial historians have directly played this matter to the emperor. Let Nalan Donggui sell the goods on behalf of him, the prince has already asked the emperor, and the emperor also agreed, and he also knew that it was processed by the maids and daughters in the house themselves, and it was an exotic skill learned by Fang Fujin. So the emperor thinks it's ridiculous, isn't this tantamount to impeaching the emperor?
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think this Nalan department store should be guilty of?"
"Beheaded! Obscene and delicate things are full of the Qing Dynasty, and not cutting off the head is not enough to make the people angry! โ
"Is it the duty of Lord Zuodu Yushi to impeach a civilian businessman? Can you sue me for what public outrage he has caused? Isn't the jewelry on your wife's head obscene and delicate? Could it be a dead branch? โ
When everyone heard that the limelight was wrong, this Nalan Department Store seemed to be a merchant that the emperor approved of. Don't be on the wrong side!
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know my second imperial brother, Prince Rui, right? In order to save the poisoned arrow of the assassin, although his life was unharmed, he fell into the soreness of his left arm. In the spring of last year, he took a guard and a side Fujin to follow his Buddhist master, Master Ganlin, out on a wandering. I thought he was traveling and evacuating, but he ended up in a country far, far away from the Qing Dynasty, where he learned a few skills as a commoner, and prepared to return to my treasury to fill silver. The Nalan Department Store impeached by Lord Yushi is the younger brother of one of the guards of Prince Rui, who opened a small department store and sold a little bit of the small skills learned by the side Fu Jin to the second emperor's brother, but it was just an ornament for women. Don't you feel what realm my imperial brother is? Throughout the ages, which prince is not a royal prince and nobleman above 10,000 people under one person? Which prince goes out to travel and still cares about the country? Which prince used the money he saved as capital to make money for my treasury? I don't object to Lord Goshi's impeachment of lawbreakers, but Lord Goshi's authority is to impeach corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so what are you doing to impeach the shopkeeper of a small business? The emperor said to me that he bought an aluminum alloy greenhouse that can raise seedlings in the first month, and when the green and yellow crops are not harvested, he can have vegetables that come down two months in advance. Don't you think my royal brother is high-spirited? โ
Only then did the courtiers know that the always low-key Prince Rui did not really relax in the mansion, but began to make money for the emperor. Wouldn't it be nice to change a person, with the merit of saving the driver, the emperor's favor, and not having to go to the court, to accompany the two beautiful ladies in the house? At the same time, I also knew who the real owner of the "Nalan Department Store" was.
With the increase in the traffic of Nalan Department Store, the demand for goods has also increased. Not only is the number increasing, but the variety is also increasing. For example, women's goods are used by ordinary women. For example, the red head rope used by a girl from a poor family is more than two feet and a penny; all kinds of threads, a handful of pennies; A pack of steel needles is twenty and ten cents; Colored threads are a ball of five pennies; The shiny earrings are only fifteen cents; There are also needle sewing tools for old ladies who have bad eyes and have to do needlework, small scissors for cutting threads, white chalk for cutting cloth and scribing, soft rulers for measuring the size of clothes, agate rings, glass wine cups, clean and delicate embroidered bandages, clothes hanging, trouser hanging, ironing boards, washboardsใ...... and other small items for daily life, which are very cheap. Sometimes I don't buy it when I see it, and the next time I go, it's sold out, and there will be no more such things. But there are new kinds of goods on the shelves, and none of them can be bought on the market in the Qing Dynasty.
What the prince didn't expect was that a large part of the goods sold in the Nalan Department Store were exotic low-grade daily necessities, which would be regarded as rare treasures by the citizens of the capital, and what he didn't expect was that among the guests were the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army in the Forbidden City and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They came to inspect the business situation of the department store on the orders of the Empress Dowager. Although none of the princes of the Qing Dynasty has openly opened their own shop, Chitose must have his own shop, but he must have his own shop, and he will just leave it to the people in the house to take care of it, and the prince himself will never show up. Don't the emperor and the queen mother know? It's impossible not to know, none of these princes who are secretly doing business have come to check, and the prince still sent silver to the emperor's treasury, and someone came to check, I don't know where the reason is?
The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army are all guarding the Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother can mobilize them. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was under the rule of Sony, the elder of the Three Dynasties, and Sony was more loyal to the Queen Mother than to the Emperor. The Queen Mother just had to say to Sony: "Send a few people to the palace, what to do" Sony will send people without any discount. Sony started from the queen mother's entry into the palace in Shengjing, and has been following to this day, admiring the queen mother's personality and strategy. But he also knew what the prince was, and the queen mother asked him to send someone he couldn't disobey, but he didn't want to offend the prince. Let the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs put on civilian clothes and see if there are any prohibited goods in the shop of Lord Rui. At that time, there were foreigners who secretly sold **, and it would be fine if Lord Rui didn't involve this kind of goods.
