Chapter 345: The Industry of Julu City

After all, Julu County is the current county town, even if it was once the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and there were extremely fierce wars here. However, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was at the beginning, in Julu City, it was only killing officials and killing big households, and it did not cause any harm to the ordinary people.

In the end, the Yellow Turban Army was a peasant uprising called for by Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao, and it was indeed an army with its own ideals and beliefs at the beginning. Under Zhang Jiao's nose, it is naturally impossible for the Yellow Turban Army below to indiscriminately kill some ordinary people.

Of course, this is not to say that the people of Julu City are having a good time. In fact, Julu City will not be better than the original situation of other towns such as Yangshi County.

First of all, the war destroyed everything here, and then, the people in Julu City, basically all of their families have children who have joined the Yellow Turban Army, and some of them have joined the whole family. After this war, the people of Julu City, young and strong, either died in battle, or fled, and the rest were some old and weak women and children who couldn't escape.

It should be said that the imperial court still treats the people of Julu City differently, and basically treats them as the families of thieves. In such a situation, where will they have sympathy to help them?

In addition, to put it mildly, the people in other places probably have a hatred and hostility towards the people of Julu City in their hearts.

But then again, there are really not many people in Julu City who survive.

Of course, recently, Julu City has rebuilt the official mansion and attracted the nearby people into the city, so that Julu City is slowly recovering, but this time may take longer.

Liu Xian led three or four hundred men to the foot of Julu City, and the officers and soldiers defending the city were a little nervous, but Liu Xian stepped forward and handed over a name sticker, explaining his identity and the purpose of coming to Julu City. The officers and soldiers defending the city heard that the person who came was Liu Xian, and Liu Xian had a friendship with their Taishou Guo Dian, so the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not leave Liu Xian in difficulty, and sent people to the Taicheng Mansion of Julu City to inform Guo Dian as soon as possible, and also allowed Liu Xian's three or four hundred men and horses to enter the city, and specially selected a camp in the city for Liu Xian, so that Liu Xian's men and horses could settle down first.

Liu Xian asked the people below to take the men and horses to the military camp in the city to settle down first, and he and Huang Wudie and Yi Ji went to meet Guo Dian Taishou.

Liu Xian had just arrived at the Taishou Mansion with the officers and soldiers leading the way, when he heard Guo Dian's big voice shouting: "Okay, you kid, so leisurely, and you came out to play with two big beauties?" What's wrong? Why did you suddenly think about coming to see my brother? Well, I said, why did you come empty-handed? What about wine? What about wine? I heard that your wine is different from the usual, why don't you bring me a few jars? ”

Guo Dian's not tall, but extremely strong figure appeared in the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and he specially came here to greet Liu Xian.

Liu Xian had indeed done them a great favor at the beginning, otherwise they wouldn't have known when they would be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City. In addition, Liu Xian is Guo Dian's big creditor, so he naturally has to be polite to Liu Xian, of course, Guo Dian does appreciate Liu Xian more, plus he himself is a military general, and he is not informal, otherwise, a county is too guarded, and he will definitely not come to the gate to greet a young man in person, even if Liu Xian has the identity of a Han clan, Guo Dian will not greet him in person.

"Brother Guo Dian, don't come to harm? Seeing that you are still so energetic, then I am relieved. Well, as for the wine or something, let's wait for it later, when the new wine brews out, it will definitely be sent to Brother Guo Dian for the first time. Now, all the grain is used to help the people, where is the surplus grain to make wine? At this time, even if it is sent to you, I am afraid that you will not be able to drink it. Liu Xian responded with a smile.

"Well, okay, come on, come in, let's talk inside, two brothers and sisters...... Well, it's a brother and sister, right? Come in together. ”

Guo Dian waved his hand and asked Liu Xian and the two girls to go in with him.

"Brother Guo Dian, you have seen the butterfly girl, she is Huang Zhong's daughter. The other is Miss Yi Ji of Youbei Ping, Youzhou. Liu Xian followed Guo Dian and introduced the two daughters to Guo Dian very casually, and did not object to Guo Dian's words about his brother and sister.

Huang Wudie and Yi Ji were teased when they saw Guo Dian, and their faces couldn't help but turn red, but they still saluted Guo Dian together: "Wudie (Yi Ji), I've seen Guo Taishou." ”

"Haha, don't be polite, let's go."

Guo Dian glanced at the two women and waved again.

The original Julu City Government Mansion was seriously damaged, and the current Taishou Mansion was rebuilt on the original basis, and it has not yet been completely built. However, some buildings for the offices of officials were built first.

Guo Dian led Liu Xian and the two daughters to the hall of the Taishou Mansion and sat down as guests.

After the next person served tea and left, Guo Diancai said: "Little brother Liu Xian, my brother is still under construction, and the conditions are simple, which makes you smile." ”

"Brother said with a smile, the Taishou Mansion is to govern and deal with the political center of a county, and the politics are good, as for the rest, they are actually secondary."

"yes, well, why did you suddenly come to the giant deer? If you're two or three days late, I'll probably go down there and inspect it. Guo Dian asked again.

"It's okay, I actually just want to see the situation in Julu and other places. See what business can be done. You know, our Liu Xianke is a copper-smelling businessman, for the sake of business, naturally he has to run around, it is impossible to just stay in Liulin Village, right? Liu Xian said as he drank tea.

"Ha, yes, I almost forgot who you were as a businessman. There are also several of your possessions in this city. By the way, on the opening day, my old Guo went to support your faΓ§ade. I believe that most people would not dare to go to your shops to make trouble. ”

"Then I really have to thank Brother Guo." Liu Xian expressed his heartfelt thanks to Guo Dian.

The industry in Julu County was actually used to pay off part of the debts when the batch of warm clothes sold to Huangfu Song at that time. These Huangfu Song also confessed to Guo Dian and asked Guo Dian to complete the official procedures for Liu Xian in Julu City. Later, Liu Xian sent someone to receive it, and inns, restaurants, shops, etc., have already been opened.

"Don't thank me, I really want to thank you, when my brother wants to go to your tavern to drink and eat, just give my brother a discount. In other words, the dishes in the restaurant are really good. This is not? Every once in a while, let's take our wife and children to have a meal. Guo Dian said, with a bitter face: "Little brother Liu Xian, your price is really not cheap, the one in my family, after eating, I will say that it is tasteless to eat anything else, and if I continue for a long time, I will soon eat the poor old brother." ”

"Haha......" Liu Xian saw that Guo Dian was interesting, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let's do it, it's just a meal, I will explain to the people in the store, if you go to Brother Guo, you will ...... Let's get a 50% discount. ”

"Five-fold? Then you don't have a loss? Guo Dian glared.

"It's not a loss, it can recover the cost. I originally wanted to give me a free one, but if it's really free, I guess you'll be embarrassed to eat it, brother. Well, so let's go back and design a card called a discount card. Divide gold card, silver card, bronze card, iron card, and after you get it out, let someone give you a gold card. With this card, you can drink and eat in the younger brother's restaurant, and you will be 50% off. Even if you don't have time to go, brother, if you let your sister-in-law go with a gold card, you can still get a 50% discount. Liu Xian thought at this time that he could indeed promote this kind of discount card, so he told Guo Dian.

In this era, it is natural that you can't make any diamond cards. Therefore, there can only be four cards: gold, silver, bronze, and iron.

The iron card can be given to ordinary people who often come to consume, and this can be discounted by 9%. The copper card can be given to those ordinary landlords and wealthy people, and it can be discounted by 20%. For a silver card, you have to have a certain status and influence in society. Silver card is 7% off. As for the gold card, it will be given a 5% discount, but it will only be issued to people who have a good relationship with themselves and have a certain status.

In a place, the gold card is estimated to be only qualified to be held by those county guards and state pastors.

Liu Xian's current inns and restaurants can be regarded as a chain industry in this ancient era. Now that I have come up with these discount cards, it seems that I have invisibly improved my brand compulsion.

Guo Dian felt a little curious when he heard this, and asked Liu Xian about the gold and silver cards, and Liu Xian simply said what he could say.

Guo Dian couldn't help but give Liu Xian a thumbs up and said, "It turns out that little brother Liu Xian, you are really a business wizard, you can actually come up with such a method to do business." It is conceivable that through these discount cards, it is estimated that many rich people will be able to eat and drink often, which is equivalent to having a group of regular customers. ”

"Don't dare, it's just a trail." Liu Xian didn't dare to be this business wizard.

"Well, it is conceivable that brother, you will definitely have a lot of money in the future."

"It's all about Brother Guo's big brother Hongfu." Liu Xian said, his mind changed, and he said to Guo Dian: "Brother Guo, let's do it, if you are not so busy with official business, let's move to my store, and let's talk about things while eating and drinking?" Hehe, anyway, until now, I don't know where my own store is, I'm afraid I have to bother you to guide the way. ”

"Oh? Hehe, you're a hands-off shopkeeper, right? Well...... Let me think about it, it's nothing, everything that should be explained will be explained. Now that the government has barely made up for manpower, many things have been handled a lot. Okay, let's go? ”

"Let's go!" Liu Xian stood up and made a gesture to Guo Dian.

It didn't take long for Guo Dian to become the guide and arrived on the street of the main street in the south of the city.

Under the guidance of Guo Dian, I came to a restaurant that was prominent in terms of geographical location and height of the main building.

Nirvana Restaurant?

Liu Xian's face darkened, but he was a little surprised.

The main reason is that the name of this restaurant is too earthy and vulgar. Liu Xian did not deliberately set names for the taverns and restaurants in various places, but there were requirements, mainly because Liu Xian thought that these inns and restaurants were secretly tasked with collecting intelligence for themselves. Therefore, Liu Xian didn't want people to know that those inns and restaurants were all opened by himself. If the world knows about it, then those who are interested may notice that these restaurants are all owned by the same owner, and it is possible to suspect something. Especially if they offend some amazing people, then they may be angry with those restaurants, and it will be a destruction to restaurants everywhere.

Therefore, the name of the restaurant is the name given by Qian Kuan, who is responsible for the people who manage those restaurants.

But the name of the restaurant is not the point, the point is that Liu Xian didn't expect Guo Dian to give himself such a good location and the scale of this restaurant.

"How? You get what you pay for, this rich restaurant, there has always been, the Yellow Turban riots, here also suffered, but the main building of the restaurant was not destroyed. Brother Liu Xian, you can let us owe you money first, and you can also let us use these properties to pay for those goods. Therefore, I feel that I can't lose to you, brother. I chose this restaurant for you. ”

"Brother Guo, you really don't know how to thank you." Liu Xian really felt Guo Dian's affection, and he really didn't lose himself.

"Hehe, if you really want to thank us, then give me some more debt relief." Guo Dian laughed and said.

If Liu Xian let Guo Dian eat and drink for free, Guo Dian would definitely be embarrassed, but let Liu Xian reduce some debts, but this is a debt from the government and for the public, so Guo Dian can pull his face.

"Hehe, that ...... It's easy to say, let's talk slowly. Let's go and take a look. Liu Xian didn't answer Guo Dian's words, and went in first.

At this time, it was already dusk in the afternoon, and there were guests who went to the Fugui Restaurant to stay or drink and eat. It can be seen that although the city of Julu County has not completely recovered, there are still many guests coming in and out, and business is really good.

There is no way, Liu Xian brought stir-fry to this era, and many guests are greedy for a freshness, and then they find that it is indeed more delicious. What's more, the taste of other dishes is also quite good.

These restaurants, whether they are cooks or ordinary shopkeepers, have undergone special training, especially cooks, who are not good at taste, so they can't go to work.

Many of the staff of these restaurants have never seen Liu Xian, but the shopkeeper must have seen them.

As soon as Liu Xian entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper in the counter in the lobby recognized Liu Xian at a glance, but Liu Xian shook his head at him, and then asked the shopkeeper who came to greet the customer to lead him and others to a private room on the third floor.

Since he was engaged in intelligence, Liu Xian's group of three or four hundred people entered the city, so naturally there was some gossip. The shopkeeper of this restaurant must have also received some gossip, and it is estimated that he was waiting here on purpose.

Liu Xian directly asked the shopkeeper to serve wine and food, and only then did he talk to Guo Dian, and the shopkeeper came into the private room with some excitement.

"Little Lin Gui, see the young master, I have seen Guo Taishou."

After the shopkeeper came in, he knelt directly in front of Liu Xian and said.
