Chapter 249: Request
After listening to Liu Yong's brief introduction, the transfer envoy shook his head while smiling.
"Haha, Liu Yong, I didn't see that you are still an inventor!" He picked up his wine glass and wanted to drink one with Liu Yong.
"Don't dare, adults look down on villains, and villains are just stumbling into them by mistake." Liu Yong humbly raised the wine glass and drank a glass of wine with the transfer envoy.
"Liu Yong, do you know that there are many inventors in our Great Song Dynasty." The transporter laughed.
Liu Yong naturally knew that gunpowder, compass, and movable type printing were invented during this period, and these were the three major inventions of China's four major developments. There are also many inventions and discoveries in water conservancy agriculture, medicine, etc. I have to say that the technology of the Song Dynasty is indeed powerful.
"The villain naturally knows that compared with those adults, the villain's invention is just child's play." Liu Yong replied modestly.
"Well, you can't say that." The transporter took a bite of the dish, chewed it slowly, and continued: "Is your invention also powerful?" Is this a blessing to the general public? The same great invention. ”
"The adult has a good reputation, and when the villain's freight comes, I should send the adult a few jars of soy sauce, so that the adult can try it first." Liu Yong said.
"Well, I'll be waiting to see what your new invention is like." The transshipment envoy seemed to be very interested.
Liu Yong smiled and thought: It's time to get down to business.
"Eh, my lord, the villain has a reluctant request to let the adult make the decision for the villain." Liu Yong said.
"Oh? What's the matter, you don't hurt to say. The transporter put down the chopsticks in his hand and listened to what Liu Yong said.
"Lord Hui, that's the case, the villain needs a lot of salt to produce soy sauce, but Mr. Guo of Meizhou Rong seems to have a prejudice against the villain, so the villain can't buy salt from him. At present, the salt used in production is still bought by villains in other states and counties. The villain wants to ask the adult to say a few things to the villain for the villain, so as to solve the problem of salt in the villain's workshop. Liu Yong made a request.
Hehe, the transporter smiled.
"That's it?" He asked with a light-hearted smile.
"Yes, sir." Liu Yong replied.
"Liu Yong, you can ask for the right person. Do you know that the real official is in charge of all matters related to the transfer of commerce and trade all the way to this Chengdu Mansion? He asked Liu Yong again.
Liu Yong was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Of course the villain knows, that's why he asked for the help of the adults." Liu Yong said.
"Liu Yong, this official asks you, is the salt of the entire Chengdu Mansion all the way enough for you?" The transporter asked.
"Enough, enough." Liu Yong replied excitedly.
"Okay, this official will write you a card, in this Chengdu Mansion all the way, no matter which state or county, the goods will sell you salt. There must be no mistakes. The transfer envoy said on the one hand, and asked the little maid to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
After writing it, it was handed over to Liu Yong.
"Liu Yong, you can take it."
Liu Yonggong respectfully put it away, thinking: With this piece of paper, do you Guo Dequan dare to push back?
"Thank you, sir." Liu Yong put away the card, and hurriedly got up and bowed down.
"Well, no need to be polite. Come and eat at our bar. The transporter laughed.
Liu Yonghe said goodbye to the transport envoy when he drank it. Back at the inn, he showed the card to Zhao Si and Su Erniang. The two were also very happy, because both of them knew that Guo Dequan deliberately embarrassed Liu Yong. Besides, Zhao Si personally went to pull the salt purchase, so he naturally knew the hard work. Every time you go to a place, you have to give people a salute first, and you have to say all the good things in a low voice.
Now that Liu Yong has received the support of the transfer envoy, the salt problem will be completely solved in the future.
"Big brother, you've done something big today." Zhao Si looked at the paper and sighed.
"Didn't you do something big too? When the shop is finished, you immediately ask someone to pull soy sauce here, and it will open in five days. However, before the opening, we still have to do a little publicity, just like the law, and take the set of Meizhou City. Go to the three carriages and call the clerk you hired. Liu Yong explained to Zhao Si.
"Big brother, I feel like I don't have enough manpower." Zhao Si said.
"How many people did you bring with you?" Liu Yong asked.
"So I brought four men." Zhao Si said.
"Oh, that's not enough. So you will make money and find some labor. It will be nice to wait until it opens. Liu Yong said.
Zhao Si nodded.
"And." Liu Yong said again, "Find me a shopkeeper in Chengdu Mansion, preferably a woman." Be shrewd, capable, and good-hearted. The older ones can also control the clerks. ”
"It's Big Brother, I'm going to do it, so that Big Brother can pass by. After all, how can my Zhao Si's vision be compared to that of Big Brother! Zhao Si said with a smile.
Liu Yong nodded with a smile, then sighed, and said leisurely: "This Chengdu Mansion will open at least ten stores." Looks like I'm going to send someone else to take charge of everything here. But who to send? "This question is quite a headache for Liu Yong. Because there are not many people around him who can control the overall situation in one place.
Zhao Si had no choice but to say, "Big brother, if you really can't do it, let me be here." In fact, he didn't want to, but seeing Liu Yong embarrassed, he had no choice but to make it difficult.
"No, you're going back with me. You are excited, and I need you to do the things around me. Besides, you're not suitable. There is a need for an old and steady person here. Liu Yong said.
Zhao Si was relieved, he just wanted to follow Liu Yong in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Su Erniang, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Brother, why don't you choose people from among those workshop owners?" Those people have all done business, maybe there will be people who can do this. ”
After Liu Yong listened, his eyes lit up, snapped, snapped, and said happily: "Sister, you really reminded me." That's really a viable approach. Saying that, he thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, don't you send someone back to deliver a letter and pull goods today, and by the way, find me a few to see." I wrote my request on the letter and asked Wang Xiao to do it. ”
Just do it. After Liu Yong finished writing the letter, Zhao Si handed it to the little guy, and the little guy went quickly.
"The first store was successful, and then the second and third were opened...... The location in the field must choose a prosperous location to start. Zhao Si, you can take it here for a while, and then you will go back after the second store opens. Liu Yong said.
Zhao Si nodded in response.
Things went well, Liu Yong's store in Chengdu opened as scheduled, and the previous efforts to promote also played a role. On the opening day, business was extremely hot.
Liu Yong stayed for a few more days, and after explaining to the newly hired female shopkeeper, he returned to Meizhou City with Su Erniang.
It's been almost half a month since he left, he misses Lin Qingrou very much, and the first thing he did when he returned to the sauce shop was to ask Li Xinniang for peace first, and then distribute the gifts bought in Chengdu to them. The happiest is Yingying.
