The people of Bianjing began to have more expectations for the Wan surname festival and decided to visit it every day.

In the opinion of the small people of Bianjing, who only care about their own small days, since there are a lot of new gadgets on the second day of the Wan surname event, what about the remaining days?

On the second day of the grand event, late at night, Yu Yunwen's mansion.

Chen Kangbo, who visited, was very puzzled, "Do you suspect that behind the Great Xiangguo Temple and the forbidden army is Li Xiang, the disciple that Mr. Qingshi accepted on the mountain?" ”

Chen Kangbo is a rising star who is very valued by Zhao Ding and Li Gang, the two prime ministers, who is especially good at internal affairs, is in the prime of life, and is currently serving as a planner of the Privy Council, the governor of Quanzhou, and is also in charge of the ordnance superintendent.

Yu Yunwen nodded, touched his beard and said, "I didn't care about the various methods used by the Great Xiangguo Temple. But after all, I am also the leader of the three envoys, and my conscientious subordinates noticed the means of reaching heaven and reported it to me. ”

"At first, I didn't pay much attention to that Li Xiang. The new kid in Bianjing, even if he is a disciple of Mr. Qingshi, what kind of storm can he stir up? ”

"Master Yuanguang, as a business wizard, united several commanders of the forbidden army to make a big move, I thought so at first."

Chen Kangbo answered: "However, all the clues, all the key figures, are related to Li Xiang, so Li Xiang suspects that kid?" ”

"Exactly." Yu Yunwen said proudly: "That kid thinks he is hiding very deeply, and he underestimates Da Zhou Juncai." Those few warriors are all the old ones who worshiped his eldest sister's deceased husband, and the Great Xiangguo Temple is closely connected with Ma Rulan's barbecue restaurant. ”

After reading the emergency file describing the first two days of the event, Chen Kangbo was amazed and also had doubts, "If it is really Li Xiang's action, then he is indeed a genius of business, and it is unknown even if Master Yuanguang is a clue." However, he was really not afraid of angering the gentry by doing this? ”

Yu Yunwen took a sip of tea and shook his head, "This is the most cunning thing about Li Xiang." It is the Great Xiangguo Temple and the martial artists who handle it, and it is the Great Xiangguo Temple and the martial artists who make the profits, as long as Li Xiang avoids the limelight in time, who can take him? ”

"This disciple of Mr. Wang Qi is very interesting, and he hides himself layer after layer, for fear of attracting covetousness. I've seen a low-key one, but I've never seen such a low-key one, I think this kid is an old monster, and he's too slippery. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Yunwen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Chen Kangbo frowning and was silent, "Boji, what did you think of?" ”

Chen Kangbo organized the language, first bowed his hand to say not to blame, and then said:

"According to Li Xiang's analysis, Li Xiang's purpose is very simple."

"First of all, he contacted his sister to worship him, that is, a martial artist who Ma Rulan was familiar with, and promised his benefits. Then through the Pujing Nunnery and the Majia Roast Meat Restaurant, contact the abbot of Yuanguang and offer a plan. ”

After that, there was a whole plan, the core of which was to brighten the name of the charcoal furnace and several kinds of ironware at the grand meeting of the surnames, and trick the people into buying it. While the low-level sergeants walked the streets and alleys, they also brought the production of Mingyuezhuang to various places, and Li Xiang was really powerful. "Worthy of standing at the top of Shilin, Chen Kangbo outlined Li Xiang's plan as inseparable.

"There are two core issues here, and they are also related to each other." Chen Kangbo raised his fingers to make the meaning clearer.

Since Li Xiang's plan is aimed at the hearts of the people, he must understand that martial artists can't fight the powerful and powerful. The first question, how does he protect the interests of the warriors? If a warrior wants to keep his interests, he must have the full support of one party, which party is willing to fully support the martial artist and not hesitate to oppose the gentry? ”

"The second question is also quite puzzling. In order to hide himself, Li Xiang did not hesitate to give up the interests of the charcoal furnace, and accepted many other conditions. Who the hell is he guarding against? Why is it necessary to take such precautions? It can be seen that he lacks the most basic trust in some people in Da Zhou, who is that side? ”

After Chen Kangbo finished speaking, he took a sip of tea to suppress his shock. Yu Yunwen stroked his beard and frowned silently.

Li Xiang went around in a big circle, and did not hesitate to spend energy like a sea and hand over benefits like a mountain, just for the sake of the sales network established by the military and Han, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit suspicious of buying and returning pearls.

After all, he was the top smart person in Da Zhou, and the two of them thought of something almost at the same time.

"He wants to cling to the gate?!" Yu Yunwen was shocked, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this disciple of Mr. Qingshi really has no intention of pursuing a career?

"This kid is the most wary of the saint's children, and he doesn't want to deal with it at all?!" Chen Kangbo said, he was puzzled. In the end, Li Xiang suffered a lot of losses from the gentry family, so he spared no effort to protect himself, so that he stayed away.

The two decided to revise a letter and consult Wang Qi, who was retiring in Tanzhou, so as to learn more about Li Xiang's condition. If Li Xiang really had malicious intentions towards the gentry of the Great Zhou, they would have to suppress one or two.

The third day of the event came as scheduled.

Daxiangguo Temple lived up to the expectations of the peddlers, pawns, and dignitaries, and sure enough, there were a lot of changes, which somewhat caught Li Xiang off guard.

Smart people are not only Li Xiang and Yuanguang, but some stores see that the scale and flow of people in this grand event of ten thousand surnames have broken through the past, and they racked their brains to take a ride.

It may be a coincidence, or it may be an early pass, on the third day, many merchants started the "big promotion" activity.

The citizens of Bianjing were shocked to find that in the past, it took three times to buy a complete range of New Year's goods, but now at the Ten Thousand Surnames Festival, it is not enough to use two times!

These "profiteers" have a good grasp of the timing of the big promotion. The news of the major restructuring of the Wan surname festival spread to the vicinity of Gyeonggi Province on the first day and to 100 miles away on the second day. So on the third day, Bianjing City poured into tens of thousands of people from Gyeonggi Province, and the news of the big promotion will be more disseminated, which will bring a greater flow of people......

The people bought the previous New Year's goods at a price of seven or eight percent, and they were naturally very happy. The merchants were even happier, and they thought to themselves: "How do the people know how much grain is consumed every day in Bianjing's warehouses, businesses, and manpower?" In previous years, more than a dozen warehouses were needed to distribute the goods, if they could be sold directly to the hands of the common people by taking advantage of the east wind of the grand event of the surnames...... It not only publicizes its own business name, but also saves money, food and effort! ”

The New Year's sale is the first surprise, and there is a second surprise arranged by Li Xiang at the exit. The purpose, of course, is to promote charcoal stoves, ironware, and objects belonging to partner companies.

Yu Yunwen and Chen Kangbo instructed their families to have children overnight and keep an eye on the changes in the grand gathering of ten thousand surnames. Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and Cai Quan, as well as the old lady of Jiangmen Ma and other well-meaning people, also sent cronies, and the orders received were similar.

In the afternoon of the same day, the eyeliners mingled among the people who were full of harvest, and saw the unique scenes performed on the huge stage at the exit.

At the exit of the grand event, the monks and soldiers of the Great Xiangguo Temple temporarily set up a stage more than 30 meters long, and nine "rooms" were built on the stage. The side of these "rooms" facing the people is, of course, open, and the people look at these rooms as if they are watching a stage play.

The first room is taken from the small people's house, the life scene of the man returning late. It should be explained here that the actors of the "stage play" are all invited from Sangjiawazi, and the price is very high.

There was a charcoal stove burning in the middle of the room, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in tattered clothes were waiting for the pillar of the small family to come back, and the newly married daughter-in-law was holding the soles of her shoes and looking into the distance from time to time. The door opened, and the sturdy man, also dressed in tatters, the pillar of the family, returned.

The diligent daughter-in-law took down the kettle on the charcoal stove, brewed a big bowl of coarse tea, put it on the pot and began to cook rice. The man put aside the work of the guy, first greeted the elderly mother, and then said, "Is it easy to use?" This charcoal stove? It's not easy to use, so Lao Tzu went to find the third Lou in the town. ”

The daughter-in-law was busy with soup and rice, and when she heard this, she pulled her hair, "It's easy to use." Firewood is used, and charcoal is also used. It was warm all day, and there was hot water available all the time, no charcoal, and it was clean. ”

The mother-in-law's mouth was a little leaky, and she said happily: "Our tiger is capable." With this charcoal stove, my mother's old cold legs are much better, and your aunt next door is always envious......"

In the second room, the scene is taken from the house of the people who were free from famine.

A few concubines surrounded the charcoal stove in the center of the kang, doing needlework. A few seven or eight-year-old children were moving around, and there were two swaddling clothes on the kang, and of course there were no babies in the swaddling clothes, they were all "performances".

The woman next door asked the hostess of the house, "There is really no charcoal, but the tin cylinder is too expensive." ”

The hostess said proudly: "The tin tube is a bit expensive, but the shopkeeper said that the longer the tin tube, the warmer it gets." ”

The other woman seemed to be at odds with the hostess, "How much does it cost to burn this charcoal day and night, and can you afford it?" ”

The hostess raised her eyebrows, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, how can it cost so much." At my sister-in-law's house, cooking and boiling water for heating all cost firewood and charcoal, right? With a charcoal stove, it is different, hot water is always available, cooking only needs to change the pot, and you can also heat it at night, all solved the ......"

The third room demonstrates how to use a kettle, an iron pot and a charcoal stove to live "elegantly" and escape from the experience of smoke and fire.

……

The fifth room. The family went out in the morning, added charcoal, closed the door, and came back in the evening with warm water and hot water.

Sixth room. The carelessness of the hostess of the house did not put the kettle or the lid of the stove on the bed, causing her son to suffer from charcoal, and she struggled to smash the door open.

The seventh room. The family forgot to check the tin cylinder and was hit by charcoal, but fortunately the second room rescued them.

……

In the corner of the stage, Li Xiang and Cheng Jianghai watched this scene. I only heard Cheng Jianghai sigh: "The servant who lost his family is really powerful." The nine scenes on the stage either tell the advantages of the charcoal stove to save firewood and charcoal, or reflect the benefits of the charcoal stove to the family, as well as the admonition to the people, which is really complete......"

Li Xiang stopped Cheng Jianghai's gushing emotion, "It is very necessary to remind the people of the dangers of charcoal. Zhong Jiaqiang and Pan Mingzhe, I am afraid that they have been reminded by the masters, so they asked to add the scene of carbon gas to warn, which is also a precaution. ”

"At that time, if there is really a big gentry to compete, and they will harm the lives of the small people by doing the next means, and they will not be afraid to sue the warriors in court. On the propaganda posters that the people go, the things that should be paid attention to are clearly depicted. When the sergeant installed a charcoal stove in a small people's home, he would also make things clear. ”

There was also a detailed demonstration at the grand meeting of the surnames, telling the people how to do it. In this way, as long as the warriors are not stupid, who can pick out the big mistakes? ”

After listening to Li Xiang's analysis, Cheng Jianghai couldn't help but be a little curious about the "masters" on the side of the forbidden army, "Which commander and even the staff of the commander can actually keep up with the lord's train of thought and take precautions against the gentry in advance?" ”
