Volume 2 Prosperous Bianjing Chapter 123 Heated discussions at night
There was a commotion at the exit, Ma Rulan thought there was a dispute, and when she got closer, she found that it was Li Xiang's little trick again. However, Ma Rulan misunderstood Li Xiang again, and the exit was completely arranged by the abbot of Yuanguang.
Li Xiang originally planned to give thimbles and twine to the departing women for free, so as to attract more people, knowing that a woman can often pull a dozen people to go shopping together, Li Xiang understands this as the hidden power of women.
Hearing that Li Xiang was looking for a way to live for the homeless workshop that made all kinds of small things on the side of the Han River, Abbot Yuanguang kindly reminded Li Xiang that if he gave it away for free, the effect would be too poor, and he might not be able to achieve the effect if he accompanied Li Xiang's entire net worth.
Li Xiang knew that Abbot Yuanguang was sympathetic to the homeless, and he also wanted to sell his personal favor so that he could continue to cooperate in the future. With a wave of his hand, Li Xiang let the fat Master Yuanguang play to his heart's content, so there was a scene that Ma Rulan saw.
Ma Rulan picked up Xiao Jiang Lan, showed the invitation, and took Liu Susu, Jiang Zhi and others to another exit. She saw that the people not far away were scrambling to buy small items and snacks on more than a dozen carts, and then went to the other side with their tickets to exchange for thimbles, needles and threads, shovels, and small pots......
Although she knew that her brother-in-law was full of wisdom, Ma Rulan really couldn't understand this scene, but fortunately, a little monk who specially gave gifts to nobles here came to explain.
The little monk who came over was actually Jiang Zhi who came back from the north.
This pleasing little monk first met Ma Rulan, and then met Sister Jiang Zhi and Little Sister Jiang Lan. Little Jiang Lan also remembered this little brother, and ran over to give him candied fruit to eat, and the little monk's tears were about to fall.
Packing up his mood, the little monk said to Funuo, "Thank you to the female donor for taking care of Sister Jiang Zhi from time to time, and the little monk will pray sincerely for seven days to pray for the blessing of the female benefactor." ”
Ma Rulan was very moved in her heart, this kind of treatment is not common, it is not something that can be exchanged for power, she was polite, and then asked: "This door...... What is the charter? I can't understand it, I'm tired of the little master. ”
"The abbot master of this temple saw that the displaced people outside the city were lonely and helpless, and he couldn't bear it, so he helped them build a workshop to save themselves. It coincided with the grand trade of ten thousand surnames, and the abbot master came up with an idea. People can buy cheap items or snacks produced by the homeless people's workshops on the cart, and every 100 wen can be exchanged for a ticket, and then the ticket can be exchanged for thimbles, needles and threads, spatulas and other things. ”
It turns out that "cheap thimble" means this, Ma Rulan thought, but the righteous brother is so low-key that he doesn't even have a reputation for doing good deeds, it's really ......
It turned out that Li Xiang mixed up all the small objects produced by the Qinling Village, the Hanjiang Wanderers Workshop and the Bianjing Wanderers Workshop, "It's really cunning, and it's borrowing chickens to lay eggs" Liu Susu thought, but the corners of his mouth were sweet.
Buy cheap objects such as hairpins, coarse porcelain bowls, fire knives and flints, and then take the ticket to exchange for thimbles, spatulas and other precious objects, but they are all things that cannot be missing at home, "There must be Li Xiang's shadow in this" The smart Jiang Zhi thought about it so much, and became more curious about Li Xiang.
There began to be villages in Qinling using materials such as bamboo, wood, gold, silver and copper, learning from Mingyuezhuang to set up workshops and make small objects that passed through the Great Zhou; On the edge of the Han River, landless displaced people also built workshops, and they had no background but to take refuge in Mingyuezhuang; The displaced people outside Bianjing City come from all over the world, and Li Xiang needs to support them if he wants to select talents from them.
Li Xiang threw the good name of relieving the orphans to Yuanguang, and the Yuanguang master, who was in dire need of aura, naturally smiled, and Li Xiang used the homeless workshop outside the city to build another layer of hiding for Mingyuezhuang.
After a while, the market was opened, and the commercial goods sold in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty included those of Mingyuezhuang, Qinling villages and Hanjiang refugees, as well as the dependents of the forbidden army and the displaced people of Bianjing.
A puddle of muddy water, how easy is it to find out which one is the business name of Mingyuezhuang, and how much production of Mingyuezhuang occupies?
Ma Rulan returned to Ma's house with the group, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Lan had dinner in the back house of Ma's house before leaving, and several little nuns also had a full meal. Jiang Zhi still hasn't seen Li Xiang, and Liu Susu doesn't know where Li Xiang went, but he's used to it, isn't it normal for men to run east and west?
In fact, Li Xiangzheng and Cheng Jianghai summarized the "battle situation" of the first day in the secret room.
The secret room built by Li Xiang has reached the diagonal back of the Ma family's house, and the exit on the other side is a dilapidated house that Li Xiang had bought a long time ago, and only a few people such as Xiong Chengwu, Yang Jianchuan, and Qin Zhong knew about it. As for the fact that Cheng Jianghai is not crazy, only Xiong Chengwu and several high-level "undercover agents" scattered all over Bianjing know.
Li Xiang stretched his waist and said with a smile: "The situation is much better than expected, send a letter to Ye County, and ask them to hurry up and send all the storage and shipment to Bianjing, the grand event of ten thousand surnames in Daxiangguo Temple is going to change greatly...... Go hand in hand with land and water, don't be afraid to spend more copper money. ”
Yexian County has a large warehouse established by the officials and the local officials, which will become the distribution center of Mingyuezhuang's goods in the future. Yexian is Luoyang in the northwest, Zhengzhou in the north, Bianjing in the northeast, and several canals to the east, which can directly reach Jingdong, Jianghuai and Jiangnan.
Cheng Jianghai pinched his shoulders, "It's a pity that Abbot Yuanguang is a master, if he specializes in business, he is the richest man in Da Zhou." The merit box that forced dignitaries to donate more money, the trick of buying cheap objects for expensive items at the exit, and drinking two cups of salty tea that would get tired of it were really earning face. ”
Li Xiang laughed, "It's really amazing." You see, the people of Bianjing tonight will definitely rush to tell each other, and starting tomorrow will be the real excitement. ”
"This is the word of mouth that the lord mentioned......"
Li Xiang and Cheng Jianghai began to make adjustments to tomorrow's arrangements in response to changes in the situation. At the same time, the people of Bianjing, who returned home, began to go from house to house, preaching the excitement of this grand event everywhere.
How easy is the rumored charcoal stove, how real it is to put salt in the tea of Daxiangguo Temple, how exciting the rare and exotic beasts are in front of you, how you can get a thimble spatula when you buy ordinary things at the exit, and how heroic are ginseng jewelry......
The interest of the small people stopped there, and the wealthy merchants and nobles focused on other aspects.
"Leave the matter of the charcoal stove aside for the time being, and tomorrow we will put out all the things in our business at the price of seventy percent, no, fifty percent...... Introduce more bamboo boards of our business to make more, to be more polite to the people who watch, we also provide hot tea, if there are traveling merchants among the people, they will be pulled to the back room to discuss. Ma Rulan, the manager of the Jiangnan handicraft store where she bought a few oil-paper umbrellas, is discussing with the shopkeeper of the firm in Bianjing about tomorrow's "increase".
With more than 20 years of experience and vision cultivated in the shopkeeper's career, the big shopkeeper is keenly aware that the grand event of the surname of the Great Xiangguo Temple may have great changes.
The exhibitors have been discussing overnight, and it has become a consensus to drive out the monks in the house, and it has also become a consensus to provide free hot tea at home, and "small actions" such as replacing large plaques and "business cards" have attracted much attention.
The shopkeeper who participated in the event was excited, and admired the all-round restructuring of the event, and was secretly glad that he did not refuse Master Yuanguang's invitation.
Wang's mansion, study. Wang Xiaojiu bent over and respectfully reported what he had seen and heard during the day to Wang Wan'er, who had just returned to Beijing, and added some of his own analysis, "There are actually white monks in Daxiangguo Temple, who specialize in answering people's doubts and dealing with disputes, and those monks call themselves guides."
"In the past, the grand event of ten thousand surnames only roughly separated the business names, but this time it was completely classified and arranged very carefully. There are roadblocks on the road, and the people can only go down one road, and all the stores have to look over, and the shopkeepers of each house are most satisfied with this......"
Wang Wan'er was dressed in a light yellow dress, added the last stroke, and frowned, "Bamboo is still beautiful in midsummer and winter, and it is always lacking in vitality and arrogance at other times." Stand up, Wan'er will call you cousin, don't bend over all the time. ”
Wang Xiaojiu laughed a few times and stood up. In front of Wang Wan'er, who is naturally noble, he always has a pressure.
Wang Wan'er carefully put away the picture scroll, "Although there are no major mistakes in today's Ten Thousand Surnames Festival, there are always some stumbles, it should be that Li Xiang and Master Yuanguang missed some calculations when summing up, but it is inevitable." ”
"Li Xiang wants the people of Bianjing to quickly accept the charcoal stove, and then spread it to Gyeonggi Province, so that he can hide behind his back and seek benefits, what he is doing now is completely insufficient, there must be a backhand."
"There are all kinds of rumors first, and then they will be in the limelight at the Ten Thousand Surnames Festival, and it looks like it will become famous overnight, but the people will continue to wait and see, after all, it is not something that must be bought."
"Even if the people accept the charcoal stove, it is only at the beginning, the big households, tooth shops and brokers are not so easy to deal with, and the forbidden army may not be able to fight with a knife, what is his next move? Grandpa is really, accepting such a treacherous kid as a disciple, if Li Xiang ruins the reputation of the Wang family......"
Wang Wan'er couldn't rest assured, and decided to go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to watch it in person. Wang Xiaojiu was a little ashamed, he really couldn't see through Li Xiang's many calculations.
At the garrison of the forbidden army in the outer city, more than a dozen warriors secretly discussed in the undulating lights.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly today, Li ...... Ahem, we need to step up the production of charcoal stoves, fortunately, Mingyuezhuang shipped a batch of iron plates at a low price, otherwise it would be really difficult. The battalion commander with an unsatisfactory face almost slipped his mouth.
Li Xiang and these martial artists talked about concealing their identities when they were drinking, and of course the martial artists with relevant interests didn't want too many people to approach Li Xiang, so they took the cake and always paid attention.
"A total of more than 230 units have been sold today, and they are being installed overnight according to the brother's instructions, striving to let hundreds of households experience the benefits of charcoal stoves in one day."
"By the way, the iron cylinder and the charcoal stove can't be used by one, in case someone gets the charcoal gas, they won't all be finished, and some people are too ruthless and have to be guarded against." A steady battalion commander said. The other bosses nodded their heads regardless of whether they understood it or not.
"What do you say over there? Don't be unable to stand it when the time comes, and the peaches will be picked by civil officials and big households. The fierce and anxious battalion commander asked. After learning some truths, the battalion commander did not trust anyone very much, and his heart was traumatized.
It was nearly late at night, most of the people fell asleep, and many people who did not go to Daxiangguo Temple on the first day made up their minds to go to the grand event of ten thousand surnames. Many citizens plan to buy all the things for the New Year directly at the grand event of the surname, and save a lot of trouble.
The Ten Thousand Surnames Festival absorbed the nutrients of all classes in the Shendu Bianjing, and began to break away from the control of Li Xiang and the abbot of Yuanguang, and accelerated its transformation under the will of the citizens, merchants, and clans.
The high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Bianjing rested early, and most of them didn't pay much attention to the grand event, so there was not much repercussions. But the relatives of these families, together with the children of the royal family, the big clan, the Jiangmen, and the wealthy merchants, have already been aroused and plan to find out the next day. Daxiangguo Temple is stepping up to change the attic Buddhist hall, preparing to surprise these people.
