326 Eye Rim
The ninth princess was only curious, it turned out that the knowledgeable first set a price, and then from this price to rise, "That's what the auction house does?" ”
The people behind him said: "The price here is the fairest." This morning is an eye-opener, there are all kinds of things sold, and if it's not good, you can't get here. ”
"The rules were set: twenty percent were sent by the people, fifty percent were picked out by the major pawnshops in the imperial city, and the remaining thirty percent were from several major tooth shops. This jade was taken out of the tooth shop. ”
In the crowd, there were businessmen: "They do this because they don't offend the major pawnshops and tooth shops in the imperial city." Everybody has money to make! ”
Peers are enemies, but the auction house is an unprecedented business, everyone is both novel and a little rare, but the price here is the most fair, and they are willing to sell here.
The Ninth Princess said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that several young masters of the Jiang family are here?" ”
Someone asked, "What are you looking for the young master of the Jiang family to do?" ”
The waiter said: "My son-in-law has two things to sell in his hand, and I want to ask them for help." ”
Someone who recognized him pointed to the cocooned silk man standing on the railing on the second floor and said, "Do you see it, those two are." ”
Jiang Chuanyuan looked at the hot hall with a solemn expression, and there was not much joy. Standing on the second floor, he was still a majestic general, as if he was not looking at the people, and his eyes were not how good the business was today, but reading the army and inspecting the defense.
The ninth princess looked at Jiang Chuanyuan blankly, and pulled the chess with her hand: "That...... The young man in the sky blue robe ......"
The waiter tilted his head, this person is good-looking, and his demeanor is not elegant and weak. Full of masculinity, he was born burly and tall, wearing a silver hollow hair crown on his head, engraved with auspicious cloud patterns. Wearing a blue brocade robe with a jade inlay around his waist, his eyes are like torches. Eguan Cui Wei, long hair is high, standing with his hands in his hands, self-explanatory. The well-fitting satin robe makes the whole person look long and spiritual, the demeanor is bright, and it is as quiet as a pine on a cliff.
Jiang Chuanyuan smiled slightly, and like Jiang Chuanyuan, he put his hands behind his back, looking down at the crowd in the hall, shouting one after another. "My aunt is really powerful, she can even think of such a business."
This was not what Su Yan thought of, but when Su Yan returned to the Ghost Valley, she listened to the nameless son when she was chatting with the nameless son. I thought that maybe I could really make money, so I gave the advice to my family truthfully.
"My aunt is the most fair to each room. Remembering that our second room has a thin foundation, we deliberately let our members occupy the most. He looked back and smiled, with a sense of contentment.
Jiang Chuanchuan thought that he would be able to pay dividends at the end of the month, which was a lot of money, and he would get more than 100,000 taels of silver in one day yesterday. By the end of the month, he will be able to divide tens of thousands of taels of silver. "Brother, this business is good. After scraping together more money, I will go to Cangzhou, Jizhou, Weizhou, and Jiangnan to open a few more, and it is also called an exclusive auction house. ”
Although Jiang Chuanyuan was happy in his heart, there was not much joy on his face.
Jiang Chuanchuan seems to be obsessed with doing business, and these days he runs to the auction house as soon as he is free, from selecting auction items to contacting various tooth shops and pawnshops, almost the entire imperial city's tooth shops, pawnshop shopkeepers, and non-family are all familiar with each other.
If others do this business, it may not be possible, but the exclusive auction house is opened by the Jiang family. There are also the six princesses, the people in the tooth shop and the pawnshop all look at each other differently, some are lively, some are curious, and many more are quite unfamiliar with this line of work. I'm kind of waiting to see the results. The son of the noble family of Houfu is doing business, and there are a lot of losses in this imperial city, and there are really only a handful of people who can make money.
Jiang Chuanyuan asked: "At this hour, why hasn't the auction been completed yet, how many things have you selected?" ”
Jiang replied bluntly: "Thirty-five! After a pause, "I picked four pieces sent by the people, and two of them were sent by the second brother." The other twenty-nine were sent by various tooth shops and pawnshops. ”
Jiang Chuanliang was going to study in the academy, so he returned to the Imperial City Academy early in the morning, and he didn't come back until Mu Xiu's day.
Nearly noon, the auction of thirty-five items had not yet been completed.
Jiang Chuanyuan said: "I promised my mother, I have to go back to eat with her at noon today." ”
Jiang Chuanchuan said as if he was playful: "You agreed, but I didn't agree." I told my mother that I would go home as soon as the auction was over, and I would have to keep an eye on it before it was finished. The big room and the third room are all busy people, and I have to keep an eye on it. "There must be someone in the family, he is the most idle, so he naturally pays more attention to business matters.
Jiang Shuncheng was worried that the children in the second room would learn badly from the Imperial City gentlemen, so Fang agreed to Su Yan's suggestion, so that he could find something to do for his grandchildren who had nothing to do. Although it is not good to do business, as long as you can support your family and let your children learn how to run a business, there is nothing wrong with it. In his opinion, the sons and daughters of the Jiang family either become officials, or enter the market to do business, or go to the land to farm, no matter what it is, it can be regarded as a legitimate industry, and it is better than being the descendant of a loser.
Jiang Chuanyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go back first." ”
The two brothers have nothing to do, Jiang Chuanyuan has the name of "Pingxi Hou Shizi", although he has an official position, but it is a vacant position, and he is appointed as the general of Qianniu Wei Zuolang, and the daily task is to inspect the armory, should be a few people, etc., and these are often done by the people below, he only needs to symbolically ask a few words, and he can go home if he knows everything.
For him, it was almost as boring as nothing. Every day after leaving the Qianniu Wei camp, I went to the auction house to take a look, and I thought that Jiang Chuanchuan couldn't do it, but this time, I found that Jiang Chuanchuan did it more carefully than him.
Jiang Chuanchuan didn't even have a fictitious position, only guarding the auction house. Although it was a business, his interest was high, and he rejoiced at the thought that all these things that were sold by them could be collected and earned, and all the money was silver. In the past, he knew that he fought and killed the enemy, but now he knows that he can still do business.
Their brothers are not like other people, they read poetry and books, and they have no other skills except martial arts and war. I learned to do business, and it was a lot of sample things.
Jiang Chuanyuan walked out of the auction house from the back door, brought the accompanying servants, and when he passed by the Liufu Restaurant, he bought a few good braised foods and a few packs of dim sum.
The ninth princess looked at it for a while, a little tired, sat down in the teahouse opposite, and ordered food.
Shi Qi went out to explore the way, circled around the auction house twice, and said with a smile: "Princess, the people in the auction house didn't go through the front door, and left through the back door. ”
"It's over there?"
Shi Qi shook his head, "I really didn't expect that the Jiang family would actually start doing business." ”
The ninth princess disagreed, "There are so many descendants of the Jiang family, how to live by guarding the money given by the imperial court." I didn't just start doing it today, but there are some shops and granges in each house. ”
Some of these shops and granges have taken 30 years to take care of and accumulate, and some are the dowries of the grandmothers in each house. The women of the Jiang family, from the Yu family to Zhang Shuangshuang, are all capable and virtuous, and they are all good at taking care of the outside business, the grange, or the Jiang family's inner house.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the auction house, he saw that the people gathered at the door gradually dispersed, and said loudly: "Princess, it's over, it's over." ”
The ninth princess got up and said, "Let's go, go to the back door of the auction house." ”
Since she is the person she is going to marry, she has to talk and know what kind of person he is.
Jiang conveyed that the account office had calculated today's earnings, and asked eagerly, "How much?" ”
The bookkeeper smiled: "I have earned five hundred and thirty-one twenty-seven dollars of silver in half a day today." ”
Jiang chuan slapped his face, then he can get nearly one hundred taels of silver today, this shop originally belongs to the Jiang family, and he doesn't have to pay rent, but he still has to pay taxes and silver to the court as appropriate, as well as the wages of the shopkeeper, the account room, and the shopkeeper, so calculated, he can get eighty taels of silver.
Eighty taels, which is more than what he earned in a year for him in the past.
"Not bad! Not bad! He raised his neck, "Ming'er rests, the small market will open the day after tomorrow, and you will take care of the business in the middle market, and select the items to be auctioned next time in advance." ”
The small market is open every two days, the middle market is open every three and seven days, and the big market is open twice a month on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
The shopkeepers cleaned and sorted out the upstairs and downstairs and laid out them in the shape of a tea garden.
Jiang Xuan was too busy to eat lunch, so he only ordered Xiao Er to go to the Lukfook Restaurant to buy pastries, and after eating a few pastries, he would fill his stomach.
Thinking that he was making money again, he happily went out the back door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw two young men with clear eyebrows standing outside the door, and the blue-robed young man was looking at him curiously: "You...... Is it Jiang Chuanliang? ”
Jiang was stunned for a moment, "Are you looking for my fourth brother?" He went to study at the Imperial City Academy. I didn't go home until I was off. ”
Shi Qi understood the thoughts of the Ninth Princess and asked, "Who is the one who wore the blue robe before, that is, who is with you?" ”
Jiang Chuanyuan thought for a while, except for Jiang Chuanyuan, who was wearing a blue robe today, there was no one else. "That's my brother, what's wrong?" turned to look at the two teenagers, especially the blue-robed young man who was really good-looking, with an innate pride in his eyebrows, "Are you looking for my brother or the fourth brother?" ”
The ninth princess examined Jiang Chuan, he looked very similar to the blue-robed boy, even the heroic aura in his eyebrows, but the young man in front of him was more like a thin one, but he was just as radiant, not quite the same as most of the sons in her memory, he had a man's masculinity, and he also had a full self-confidence. "Who are you?"
Jiang was confused by the two of them. "Who are you looking for?" The two of them asked Jiang Chuanyuan for a while, and asked Jiang Chuanliang for a while.
The waiter said sharply: "My son-in-law asked: Who are you?" ”
The whole family in the second room returned to the imperial city, and was invited by Jiang Shuncheng and Jiang Shuhong, and told him earnestly, "In the land of the imperial city, there are many dignitaries and nobles, and everything is cautious and careful when going out." I don't know which day the characters who will appear are the powerful people of the dynasty, the relatives of the emperor and the country, and we Jiang family can provoke them. ”
Although the Jiang family is also a powerful family, Jiang Shuncheng has been adhering to the principle of being careful in everything over the years. In the eyes of the world, the official position of the right minister is below one person and above ten thousand, but he has special requirements for his children and grandchildren. And the big house is especially strict, Jiang Shuhong has strict requirements for each of his three sons.
