Chapter 64: Du Shen who marched south and lost blood

Three poles on the sun.

In the capital, Wang Changgui had already begun to prepare to open up the southern market, first he sent people to find a suitable transportation route, and at the same time sold a large number of Wang family's chalk cheaply.

There is a deep meaning in doing so.

As the richest man in the capital, Wang Changgui is a pivotal presence in the circle of businessmen, and his every move is closely watched.

Coupled with the deliberate spread of the rumors, many businessmen have received a bad signal.

It seems that the chalk business can't be done?

Even the richest man, the Wang family, has to sell chalk cheaply, with a posture of making as much money as he can, and no one can help but think that maybe this newly emerging market is about to collapse.

For a time, all the contractors who had been involved in the chalk business hurriedly chose to follow the trend and lowered the price of chalk again and again.

At the same time, the cheap chalk that flowed out of their hands was also unaware of it, and the pick-up man sent by Wang Changgui all got it into his hands at a very low price.

I have to say!

Wang Changgui's business acumen is very good, originally the Wang family's share in the chalk market is not much, after all, the Wang family has many industries to transfer money, and they can't look down on these small profits, but now it has become the one with the largest chalk stock.

Of course......

This is something that the rest of the contractors don't know, otherwise they wouldn't have made a fuss?

Since Wang Changgui promised Du Shen and carried the banner of opening up the southern market, he should be the leading boss and first wrap things up before talking about the future.

And that's not all.

The output of chalk is related to the hard-working homeless, the price of chalk has fallen, and the life of the homeless people is even more difficult, which is also what Wang Changgui wants to see, because he wants to get this group of experienced homeless people into his own hands, otherwise it will lead to the weakness of the successor, and the inventory will be exhausted and fall into passivity.

Wang Changgui naturally wouldn't let this happen, so he made people keep an eye on those contractors from the beginning, trying his best to poach people with higher prices and treatment.

And this is exactly what Emperor Hongji saw.

……

On the other side, Du Shen carried a burden and took his apprentices all the way to the capital.

I just left yesterday, and I came back today.

The difference is that Du Shen's face does not have that kind of ease, but looks like a thief.

His cabbage was stolen by His Majesty again, and he was in a very unhappy mood!

But to find the theory of Emperor Hongji?

He didn't live long enough......

But that's it?

Du Shen didn't think so.

Was it cabbage that was stolen?

That's money! It's money!

If he doesn't earn it back from others, Du Shen feels that he has lost his blood!

Therefore, after he arrived in the capital, he rushed directly to the stationery store.

In-store.

The shopkeeper made a pot of good tea and respectfully poured it for Du Shen.

"I don't know that Mr. is coming today, and I will miss the distance, so please forgive me."

The shopkeeper said, and filled Zhang Hao and the others one by one.

Taking a sip of tea, Du Shen's mood eased a little, he waved his hand to show that he was out of the way, and then asked, "How is the business in the store lately?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "Business is much worse than before, and today the king is selling chalk on a large scale, causing the price to fall again and again, and there are many fewer people who come to the store to buy chalk, but more people buy blackboards and quill pens." ”

Du Shen nodded and groaned, knowing in his heart that Wang Changgui had made a move, although he didn't know what he had done, but since it was handed over to him, there was no need to ask more, just pay attention to the progress of the matter.

"Shopkeeper, do you think if you sell vegetables in the store, someone will buy them?"

"Selling vegetables?"

The shopkeeper looked surprised, swallowed his spit and said: "The villain doesn't know, but the guests are all scholars, so they shouldn't buy it!" ”

When he said this, he was a little confused in his heart.

Isn't selling vegetables all the work of the street vendors in the market, why did Mr. Du Shen think of selling them in the store?

It is also a stationery store that is quite famous among the readers.

Nowadays, the scholars in the capital will praise and respect whenever they mention stationery stores: "This is the shop under the name of Mr. Du Shen, and it is the place of the literati." ”

Besides, it's almost winter, what else can you sell?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper kindly reminded: "Sir, selling vegetables is a hawker's move, and I am afraid that I will not be able to ascend to the elegant hall." ”

Du Shen glared at him and said, "Who said that selling vegetables is a hawker's move?" ”

"It's the villain who is reckless."

The shopkeeper was quite aggrieved, and he was telling the truth!

At this time, Zhang Hao spoke, and he hummed: "If it is difficult to sell vegetables, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, isn't that kind of food equal to the villain?" ”

He knew that what his master wanted to sell was cabbage, and those cabbages were all grown by himself and his junior disciples, but he was evaluated like this after a few months of hard work, if he had a temper before, he would now start beating people.

Zhao Xiu and Xu Pengju were both short-tempered, squinting at the shopkeeper, and they had the meaning of doing it if they didn't agree.

Only Wang Gui is different, he is a standard scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, although he went astray for a period of time during the period, but under the influence of Du Shen, he has turned back to the shore, so he seems to be much calmer.

The shopkeeper's forehead was sweating, and he smiled bitterly: "The little grandfather taught me a lesson." ”

He is from the British government, even if Zhang Hao points his nose and scolds, he has to listen and dare not have any complaints.

With a total in his heart, the shopkeeper didn't say anything more, and asked Du Shen: "I don't know what kind of vegetable selling method Mr. plans to make?" ”

Du Shen closed the teacup, put it aside, opened the burden he was carrying, and took out the cabbage inside.

"How about you take a look at this cabbage first?"

The shopkeeper looked up and saw that the cabbage was green and watery, and the roots and leaves were white and tender as if they were about to drip water, which made people can't help but shine in the eyes.

In this era, cabbage is the main vegetable in people's daily diet, it tastes good and is nutritious, and it is normal to have this attitude.

"This cabbage is really good, but why is there still wet soil on the roots?"

"Because it's just planted!"

Du Shen's tone was flat, but his heart hurt again.

Your Majesty, you are too unauthentic, send someone to steal my cabbage, if you don't sell these cabbages for a sky-high price, this principal can't swallow this breath!

He continued to say to the shopkeeper: "These cabbages, which are grown in late autumn, are very rare treasures, in other words, auspicious. ”

The shopkeeper was confused: "What does Mr. mean, our store will sell cabbage instead?" ”

Du Shen's eyes widened: "What cabbage is sold, what is sold is auspicious!" ”

The shopkeeper quickly changed his words and said that it was Xiangrui.

Zhang Hao and the others on the side had strange faces, obviously it was the cabbage grown by himself and others, how did it become auspicious?

But after thinking about it again, the cabbage that grows in this season seems to be called auspicious, and it's right?

In other words, they and others are planting auspicious?

Zhang Hao suddenly realized that his own master was more than a hanging word!
