Chapter 234: The old man's life and death are uncertain
"The old minister was beaten by the old lady Dou who came to provoke him......!"
After the eldest grandson Wuji gave the salute, he explained the reason with an embarrassed face.
"What? Actually beat up when the court Zaisuke? It's too much......! ”
Li Er pretended to be angry and said.
But in his heart, he despised him, and he couldn't even beat an old man who was fast into the coffin, what a waste!
"Uh...... In the chaos, the old lady of the Dou family was more seriously injured! ”
Seeing that Li Er didn't mean to blame, but instead helped himself speak, the eldest grandson Wuji said tentatively.
"Oh? Still......! Ahem, how is Old Lady Dou now? ”
Li Er stood up with interest and asked about the old man's injury.
However, he originally wanted to ask, 'Are you still alive?', but as soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words!
"The current situation, the old minister doesn't know, after the old man vomited blood and fainted, he was carried away by his family!"
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes flickered, and he said with a slight emptiness.
He originally wanted to come to find his sister, but he didn't expect that the emperor would be here.
That old man suffered such a big loss, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, if he really dies, the emperor will definitely blame!
After all, that's the emperor's maternal uncle!
"Oh......!"
However, after learning the news that the old man's life and death were uncertain, the emperor didn't mean to be angry at all, and even, he vaguely saw a hint of schadenfreude at the corner of the emperor's mouth!
"Actually, you can't blame the old minister for this matter, it was his old lady Dou who led the people to do it first, and the old minister just fought back to save his life, who knows ......!"
After seeing Li Er's expression, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and then continued, "In the final analysis, Zhao Yin's kid is to blame for this matter, he first gave Yu Jia a report and instigated Yu Jia to publish it in the newspaper, and then Old Man Dou brought someone to the door!" ”
"Hmmm! You really can't be blamed for this......! Don't worry, something happened, there is me! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I am just going to the Imperial Study to discuss the increase in the price of salt, so come with me!"
"Yes!"
......
"How's business going?"
In the Quanxingfang Treasure Pavilion, Zhao Yin looked around, looked at the customers who were choosing tributes in the store, and asked with interest.
"Back to the horse, since the opening of our Treasure Pavilion, with the increase in popularity, the sales are also growing, for example, yesterday, we sold more than 8,000 pieces! And that's just retail, not including orders from the palace! ”
** Arched his hand, slightly in return.
In the past, he was the young eunuch in charge of the general eunuch, but since the emperor gave the general eunuch to Zhao Yin to manage, he has an additional identity.
The treasurer of the Treasure Cabinet!
When Zhao Yin first took over as a prisoner, he laid off all the officials inside, leaving only himself.
Then I selected some capable craftsmen to fill the gap.
The current general supervisor is all top technical talents, and only he has no special skills.
"In this way, our current pricing is not too high, at least it is acceptable to customers?"
Hearing that the daily turnover is as high as 8,000 yuan, and it is still not climbing, Zhao Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief!
He planned to make the Treasure Pavilion the only luxury store in Chang'an City, so the retail price was set at twenty times the cost.
However, this is just to test the water, if no one buys it, he will adjust the price by half!
But in the current situation, it is not necessary!
"I heard that we are selling royal tribute, and even the inscription written by the emperor himself, they are all vying to buy, but the best selling is the jewelry used by the queen's mother, which is in short supply at all, and it takes at least a month to book to buy!"
**Joyful details.
He is now in charge of the Treasure Pavilion, but his monthly salary is not fixed, as long as the sales performance of the store is good, his monthly income will be higher!
At first, he didn't want to be this shopkeeper, because the fixed monthly salary was only ten yuan, but there was an official position hanging from the fourth grade, and he reluctantly agreed to it in order to look good and glorify his ancestors!
Unexpectedly, since the opening of this Treasure Pavilion, the business has been extremely hot, and if it is the end of the month, the monthly salary will definitely be more than ten times that of those top craftsmen!
Now, he has completely regarded the Treasure Pavilion as his own business, and he is very attentive to it everywhere!
"However, we have something that doesn't sell very well, maybe we can consider adjusting the price!"
He hesitated for a moment, but decided it would be better to make a suggestion.
"What?"
"Four-wheeled carriage ......!"
**Pointing to the luxury four-wheeled carriage outside the door, "Although this carriage is luxurious, but the price is also very expensive, it is difficult for ordinary people to come up with 10,000 yuan to buy, so far only a few have been sold, if the price can be lowered, it will definitely sell well!" ”
"No need to ......! But in addition to this kind of carriage, we have to add two more carriages at a lower price, and the price is set at 6,600 and 3,300 yuan! ”
"Yes!"
After listening to Zhao Yin's words, ** nodded again and again.
This is definitely a good idea, with other low-grade collocations, it can highlight the luxury of this carriage and better meet the needs of different people!
"Master Pony, so you're here! It's really easy to find the old slave! ”
Just as the two were talking, Wang De hurriedly ran in.
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing the old eunuch running sweating profusely, Zhao Yin couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Just now when he was going out, he happened to run into Old Man Dou and the eldest grandson's family fighting, could it be that Li Er came to find himself for this matter?
"Oh no! Master Horse, I don't know why, the price of salt in Chang'an City has suddenly skyrocketed, and some merchants have shouted out the price code of ten pounds and one catty, and Lord Shangshu Dai of the household department has nothing to do about it, so His Majesty wants to announce that the horse will enter the palace and discuss this matter together! ”
Wang De said, wiping the hot sweat on his forehead, "Master Horse, hurry up, this matter is related to the livelihood of the people, you can't be sloppy!" ”
"That's it......!"
After Zhao Yin listened to the old eunuch's words, he immediately laughed.
Helping is definitely going to help, but it can't be in vain!
"The price of salt has always been five wen a catty, but now it has risen to five hundred wen a catty, but there is no price in the market, many salt merchants have watched the price of salt soar, and they have all closed their shops and are ready to stock up."
"When the old slave was looking for a horse just now, he passed by the Dou family's shop, and there was a sign at the door that he would not bargain, and he was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a windfall!"
"According to the news that Lord Dai came back from inquiring, it is said that the situation is the same around Chang'an City, and the price of salt has also risen unbelievably!"
Wang De told Zhao Yin about the current situation on the way.
In addition, he also said that the situation of the seven major families controlling the salt farm by the way, I hope he can come up with a solution!
