Volume 2 Taibai Xinghuo Chapter 59 Qingyunzhi
"Although these are all side roads, as long as it helps us to increase our popularity and make the business of Zuixian Mansion better, it is also a good way. For example, if you have bought something once on a small cart, you will be given a small piece of paper with a small seal of the Drunken Immortal Building, buy it a few more times, if you collect more than one, you can take this paper and go directly to the Drunken Immortal Building to exchange the corresponding things, it can be a free fruit pastry or a pot of side dishes, or the next meal only charges ninety percent of the money or the like. As for the specific number of pieces of paper that can be exchanged, it is to go with the market, two, three, and four are actually not tight, the main thing is to let those guests come to the drunken fairy building, then the purpose of this means has been achieved. As long as the customer comes to redeem, the customer will not just redeem, more or less have to buy something else, then we will earn more! ”
The more Red Sleeves listened, the more novel and eye-opening he felt, although there was still this kind of reason for doing business, his small mouth opened slightly, and he looked dumbfounded, so cute, "Can it be like this?" ”
"Haha, in fact, the wool is all from the sheep, and we bother to feed the sheep as much as we can, just to get the wool on its body, and this is the reason." Cao Yi smiled heartily.
"Although what Childe said is simple and easy to understand, but it contains a lot of business truths, if what Childe said is compiled into a book, it will definitely be regarded as a guideline of business by future generations" When Red Sleeves said this, he was filled with a fluttering demeanor from beginning to end, and the pride in Cao Yi in his heart was overflowing.
The two chatted about some skills and knowledge in business management, and then the red sleeves simply called several other maids in Qingyun Pavilion to listen to Cao Yi's business knowledge guidance, after all, what Cao Yizuo said, are some business methods that have been developed and gathered after more than a thousand years, and they are still very advanced and very useful for everyone in this era.
For the eight maids of Qingyun Pavilion, today is like a day of family reunion, the master Cao Yi is back, and they will have the backbone, so they will naturally move closer to him with Cao Yi as the center. Cao Yi also promised like everyone during the banquet that as long as they use logistics and study, perform better in the follow-up Taibai Chamber of Commerce, and play an important role, they will be restored to their free bodies one by one, and they will tear up the deed of sale. Naturally, everyone cheered, and Tan Yun even issued a super good guy card to Cao Yi on the spot.
"Childe is the best childe!" This sentence also made everyone burst into laughter, and they all laughed at this youngest and most innocent and lovely sister. Of course, jokes are jokes, everyone, including Tan Yun, took Cao Yi's words to heart, and the opportunity was reserved for those who were prepared. If Childe gives him a chance, but he doesn't cherish it and grasp it, then he really can't complain about others.
Sister Redsleeve is already so favored, but she has been busy conscientiously, very hard. After returning every day, I have to find time to guide them and answer their questions. Besides, Gongzi gave them such a good environment, and did not let them do those drudgeries, but tried to arrange them to study, so that they could learn how to manage and how to be on their own in the Drunken Immortal Building.
Cao Yi looked at everyone, his eyes shrank, at this time his inner thought was to hope that these people or how could they be the same as their own Qingyun Pavilion name, they could really rise to the top, and each of them would become a master, instead of being a maid for a lifetime, besides, how could there be the title of old maid in this world, after getting older, if there is no skill, or there is no good home to marry, I am afraid that I can really only become an old mother and do some rough work in the future.
Now that the direction has been pointed out and the road has been paved for them, the rest is entirely up to them to work hard, and the more they give, the farther they will go on this road, and the greater the probability of success.
After dinner, Cao Yi went back to the house early, because there were still matters related to the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, and Steward Wang discussed it, and asked him to go out of the mountain to help him.
Steward Wang's full name is Wang Zhiyuan, who first followed Cao Yi and his father Cao Bin to fight the world, and followed Cao Bin all the way from the beginning of Chengde Army, whether it was as the supervisor of Tongguan and the Jinzhou Soldiers and Horses, or later Cao Bin as the introduction of envoys, Wang Zhiyuan has always been Cao Bin's adviser.
After the pacification of Houshu, the conquest of the Northern Han Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River, the proposal to break the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jinling, which is now Jiangning City, killed the Southern Tang Dynasty in a battle.
In the third year of Yongxi (978), Cao Bin entered the position of the school master, followed Zhao Guangyi to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, and served in the middle of the army, and it was Wang Zhiyuan who made suggestions under Cao Bin's account to capture the Northern Han Dynasty, and Cao Bin was able to be named the Duke of Lu.
In the eleventh year of Yongxi (986), Zhao Guangyi ordered Cao Bin to lead the army and horse infantry in Youzhou to march to the north with Pan Mei and others, and to divide the way to discuss. Cao Bin, Cui Yanjin, and Mi Xin went to Feihu from Xiongzhou, Tian Chongjin went to Flying Fox, and Pan Mei set off from Yanmen and agreed to send troops together.
Soon, Pan Mei's troops first captured Huan, Shuo, Yun, Ying and other prefectures, and Tian Chongjin captured Feihu, Lingqiu, and Ulzhou, and obtained many key places behind the mountains. Every time the book came, the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty would be surprised that Cao Bin's march was too fast, and he was a bit alone. When Cao Bin was stationed in Zhuozhou, the grain and grass he had prepared for ten days had been exhausted, and he had to retreat to Xiongzhou to replenish the grain and grass
After the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty learned about it, he issued twelve gold medals in a row, and asked Cao Bin to immediately lead the army along the Baigou River to join Mi Xin, hold the troops still, recuperate, and proclaim the military strength of the Western Army; After Pan Mei and others all captured the land behind the mountain, they joined forces with Tian Chongjin to the east and joined forces to capture Youzhou. At that time, Cao Bin's generals heard that Pan Mei and Tian Chongjin had repeatedly made military achievements, but they could not capture them with heavy troops, and they lost a lot of military achievements in vain, so they complained one after another, and the army's morale was confused. So Wang Zhiyuan planned to raise troops, and Cao Bin trusted Wang Zhiyuan very much, so he took grain and grass to attack Zhuozhou again. As a result, the Khitan army has already recuperated and is ready to fight, just when the climate is hot and the soldiers are tired, Cao Bin has been unable to attack for a long time, and the grain and grass brought over are about to run out, and there is no manpower to transport the grain and grass over, Cao Bin has no choice but to retreat in a hurry, the army has long been chaotic at that time, so he was defeated by the famous general Yelu Xiuge of the Liao State in Qigou Pass, and returned defeated.
After Cao Bin and others returned to the court, they were interrogated by Shangshu Province and the bachelor of Hanlin Academy was responsible for punishment and conviction, because it was Wang Zhiyuan's wrong strategy that he fell into Yelu Huge's scheme and was defeated, which eventually led to the failure of Yongxi's Northern Expedition.
And Wang Zhiyuan's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and he was demoted to the end and removed from the army. Disheartened, and at the same time in order to repay Cao Bin for saving his life, he came to Cao's Mansion in Jiangning to do a small steward until now.
"Steward Wang, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late!" Cao Yi gave a look at the king's steward and was sincere.
"Childe, you are tormenting the old slave, how can the old slave be virtuous, and you are worthy of your salute, Childe." Steward Wang responded in fear, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down to salute Cao Yi, but was stopped by Cao Yi's hands.
"Steward Wang, you and my father are colleagues, and I have known him for nearly forty years, no matter what, you are my elders, if you really let you kneel down, don't say that my father will definitely whip me directly after he knows, even I will whip myself!" Cao Yi tightly held the body of Steward Wang and said respectfully.
"Gong ...... Childe, you know everything? Steward Wang asked in a trembling voice, it has been a long time since anyone mentioned that he was a colleague of Cao Envoy, so long that he had forgotten about himself.
"Well, Steward Wang, if you don't dislike me for being stubborn, and I often ask you for money before, then I'll call you Uncle Wang, and don't call me my son, just call me Cao Yi or Zhaozheng." Cao Yi helped Steward Wang, let him sit back on the Taishi chair, and said with a smile.
"Then how can I do it, I am the steward of the Cao Mansion, you are the eighth son of the Cao family, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, how can you mess up the order of etiquette." Steward Wang hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, indicating that he could not do it.
