Chapter 13 Purchasing
At the end of February of the eighth year of the orthodoxy of the Zhou State, the Son of Heaven added the Yuan service, and the amnesty of the world was changed to the Yuan Qianxing, Qian, which is one of the gossipes, referring to the heavens, and can also refer to men.

At the same time, the court of the Zhou State mobilized manpower and material resources to build a palace in Luoyang, and the news from various sources was that when the palace was completed, the Zhou State moved its capital to Luoyang.
After more than 50 years, Luoyang is about to become the capital of a country again.
In the third year of Yongxi of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu broke with Gao Huan, the minister of power, and led hundreds of civil and military officials to leave the national capital Luoyang, fled to Guanzhong to seek refuge in Yuwentai, Gao Huan set up another emperor, and later moved the capital to Yecheng, Luoyang lost its status as the capital, and became the front line of confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty.
The confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty evolved into the confrontation between the Zhou State and the Qi State, the Luozhou area became a battlefield, and the former palace in Luoyang City turned into ruins.
Emperor Xuan issued an edict to set up the Luozhou Governor's Office, built Tokyo, and the seven governors of Heyang, You, Xiang, Henan, Bo, Qing, and Xu in the hometown of Qi were all under the jurisdiction of the six prefectures of Tokyo, and the status of Luoyang became increasingly important.
Later, after the fierce war between the Zhou and Sui countries, Luoyang was also an important place for the two sides, and now the war has subsided, Luoyang is about to become the national capital again, and the people are coming to a peaceful day.
In Xiyang City, a mansion was bustling, with many wooden boxes in the courtyard, and Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, supervised the servants to pack the books.
Holding a list with many words written on it, this is a list of books to be shipped.
There are more than a dozen wooden boxes, all of which are books that have just been sent from the bookstore, and Li Yuan wants to pass them one by one, and then entrust the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce to send them to Guanzhong.
He came to Huangzhou, Shannan from Chang'an, Guanzhong, and his family lived in Xiyang for more than half a year, and the life under house arrest was originally idle, but Xiyang City was different from other places, there were many bookstores, and there was also a state library open to the outside world, which gave Li Yuan a good place to go.
It has become a habit to go to the library every day, although there is no distinction between the noble and the low, but Li Yuan doesn't care, although he is a prince, he is like a caged bird, there is no need to put on a show.
Dressed in civilian clothes and reading books in the reading room with many students, it feels really good, and it seems that I have become a teenager again, studying in the school of rural studies and Chinese studies.
The collection of books in the Huangzhou State School Library is very rich, although they are all "thread-bound books", but the printing quality is good, and it is also very convenient to read after getting used to it.
Or go to the bookstore street, where there are many interesting books, especially the "Five Organs Diagram" about medicine, Li Yuan knew for the first time how the human organs are distributed.
The author is the famous doctor Yao Shi, the book has a detailed description of the five organs of the human body, and a number of drawings are attached, drawing the anatomical diagram of the death row prisoner, of course, the painter is different, the picture in the picture of "Li A five five viscera map", so that Li Yuan is deeply impressed.
I used to hesitate to buy it back, for fear of scaring my wife, but now Li Yuan bought a whole box of "Five Organs Map", not to see it himself, but to consign it back to Chang'an.
Zhou recovered Guanzhong, Huangzhou booksellers moved quickly, set up a point in Chang'an City, listed a book list to accept reservations, Huangzhou's books were already famous in Chang'an, and now they are becoming more and more popular.
Cheap and beautiful Huangzhou books are transported from Huangzhou to Chang'an, and booksellers still make money by selling them in Guanzhong and Longyou after they buy them, not to mention that some full sets of books cannot be bought elsewhere.
In addition to the family has a full set of books, ordinary readers will always lack a few volumes, and the books published by Huangzhou bookstores have greatly made up for this shortcoming, so one book after another has become a "specialty" of Huangzhou.
Li Yuan, who is in Xiyang City, Huangzhou, has become the best candidate for relatives and friends to "purchase special products".
Although his life in Xiyang was like house arrest, but there was no ban on letters, as the Zhou State recovered Hedong and Longyou, the situation was getting better and better, and Li Yuan was less and less restricted in Xiyang City, and after the correspondence with relatives and friends became frequent, business came to the door.
The gentleman is ashamed of his words, but Li Yuan really just helped at first, he went to the bookstore to know more about the market, and with the help of his classmate Xu Shao, he was able to buy many books at a "preferential price".
After a few helps, the relatives and friends who tasted the sweetness were out of control, not only Li Yuan's side, but even the relatives on Mrs. Dou's side knew about this shortcut, and as there were more and more requests for "a favor", Li Yuan was a little embarrassed.
His family has no income in Xiyang City, and the government provides them with monthly food and a small amount of negotiable coupons, so they don't have to worry about just meeting their daily needs, but they are shy if they want to buy a large number of books.
Boxes of books are cool, but the book fee is going up, although relatives and friends will not default on the book payment afterwards, but he can't do anything to let the other party give money first, as for the bookstore on credit or something, he can't even think of it.
It's too embarrassing to go to the store on credit like this!
Xu Shao was bold, guessing that he didn't have enough money to buy books, and the circulation coupons were sent in a pile, Li Yuan was embarrassed to always rely on Xu Shao for help, but he was really stretched, and at this time, someone appeared on the stage.
Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, invited Li Yuan and his wife to the palace as guests, Li Yuan was reluctant at first, but he couldn't go, after all, if people give shame, it is he who is unlucky to play his heart.
Fearfully entered the palace, and after seeing Xu Shao and his wife, Li Yuan was a little relieved, and the appearance of Princess Xiyang at the banquet made Li Yuan marvel at her appearance and completely put his mind at ease.
The Yu Chi clan is so beautiful and fragrant, where will Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen be interested in his wife?
It was originally an ordinary wine banquet, and while drinking and talking, it turned into a business later, and Yu Wenwen, as the owner of the bookstore, said that he could help Li Yuan: If the money is not enough, you can take credit, and you will settle the account when the money in Guanzhong arrives.
What should I do if I don't get my account late?
We'll talk about it later! Purchasing agents, you have to be flexible, don't you?
Yuwenwen's courage to do business surprised Li Yuan very much, and the word "purchasing agent" proposed by the other party surprised Li Yuan even more, and he unknowingly became the "purchasing agent" of relatives and friends in Guanzhong in Huangzhou, Shannan.
Li Yuan stubbornly began to do "purchasing agents", and mentioned to his relatives and friends in letters that he "bought things very cheaply and conveniently" in Huangzhou, not only books, but also all kinds of goods.
At the beginning, the back can't be stopped, everyone wants to buy more books, read the book list he sent over, according to the title of the book on the box by box to buy, all books.
Li Yuan didn't have the ability to transport so many books back to Guanzhong, but the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce provided a "consignment" service at a preferential price, and he was introduced by the king of Xiyang to do "purchasing", so it was discounted.
"Master Lang, the inventory is complete, no problem."
"Very good, put a seal on it, and go to the Chamber of Commerce to find someone to go through the formalities."
Looking at the wooden boxes that filled the yard, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned into the room, and saw his wife Dou settling accounts.
"How, is the account settled?"
"Shiro! This month's net income is at least 200 yuan! ”
Dou Shi took the account book and said happily, Li Yuan couldn't get back to his senses for a while: "Ah, how much is two hundred times?" ”
He doesn't care about the accounts on weekdays, anyway, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he is not very clear about the concept of a monthly income of two hundred yuan, anyway, there were originally many fields in the house, and he could support his expenses by relying on his income.
"How much to see how to spend, two dollars for a meal, luxury or not?"
Li Yuan nodded, he was born in a noble family, but his life was not very luxurious, and it was very rare to spend two yuan on a meal, if it was calculated at this level, three meals a day would be six yuan, and then it would be one hundred and eighty yuan a month.
"Uh, that's a lot of two hundred?"
"Much, this is the money you make by buying low and selling high, and it doesn't take much effort." Dou Shi is very excited when she says this, she has been smart since she was a child, although she is a daughter, but her knowledge is not short.
"Earn 200 yuan a month, which is worth the profit of many transactions."
Li Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, because his mother and wife were in charge of the accounts and expenses in the house on weekdays, and his concept of money was indeed a little vague, but when the "purchasing agent" was so profitable, he was really a little excited.
There is no need to rely on the property in the house, this is the money we make from purchasing agents!
"Shiro, the concubine calculated carefully, last month's monthly income was two hundred, and the books purchased this month will be thirty percent more, so this month's monthly income will definitely be more than two hundred, and if you do it for a few more months, it will definitely be..."
Speaking of this, Dou sighed: "However, we won't live in Xiyang for long. ”
Li Yuan nodded, and also sighed softly, it was said that they should cheer when they could return to Guanzhong, but now the little couple was a little gloomy.
News kept coming that the storm was about to pass, and the days of their family's house arrest in Xiyang, Huangzhou were coming to an end, and they would be able to return to Guanzhong in the near future.
Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, who was a Sui minister, was not liquidated.
Li Yuan's mother, Dugu, is the fourth sister of the Empress Dugu of the Sui State, so he himself and several princes of the Sui State are cousins, and Li Yuan's family can be regarded as the royal relatives of the Sui State.
However, Li Yuan himself did not participate in Yang Jian's seizure of power and proclaimed himself emperor back then, and after the establishment of the Sui State, he only served as a thousand cattle in the imperial palace, and in fact, like many people, he went with the flow.
Li Yuan didn't even lead troops to fight with the Zhou State, not to mention that his grandfather Li Hu was one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the descendants of the Li family were also powerful in the Guanlong army.
So his days of living in Xiyang are coming to an end, and seeing that the "purchasing agent" is doing well, what should he do next?
"Shiro, it's better to... Choose a few credible domestic servants and stay in Xiyang to continue to do purchasing agents? ”
"Huh?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded, looked at each other and smiled, and began to plan the next purchasing matters.
If you can make money, why not keep doing it? (To be continued.) )
