Since the Abu branch began to implement the "vouchers", there is a long-lasting whirlwind blowing in Datang, and with the exchange and expansion of foreign trade, many foreign merchants have also begun to use easy-to-carry vouchers, and abandon the bulky silk and copper coins.

In addition to the merchants from all over the world, a large number of ordinary people have gradually adapted to and joined the ranks of using vouchers, firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and many people have gradually fallen in love with light travel and trade. Now, more and more money banks are also forced to launch the exchange business of vouchers, otherwise their business will face closure.

This whirlwind is getting more and more intense, and there is a tendency to form a black storm that shakes the mountains, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", Abu's plan has touched the interests of too many people, and he and Abu's branch have been unknowingly targeted by some well-intentioned people.

This kind of anti-customer-oriented posture of vouchers launched by Abu is absolutely not allowed for a state power, because it is equivalent to fundamentally shaking and controlling the foundation of the state's control over finance and trade.

But what Abu wants is such an outcome, and when most people in this era are not aware of the problem, they will quickly occupy the market first.

While the potential undercurrent is still fermenting, the business of the Abu branch is becoming more and more prosperous, and the large number of customers has brought considerable benefits, and the branches around the country are like flowers blooming on the fertile land, growing stronger and stronger.

Gradually, people were surprised to find that on both sides of the main road in the courtyard of the Abu branch, plaques were erected, and each plaque was sealed with a large piece of glass to prevent the contents from being blown by the wind and rain.

When you get closer, there are some freehand character paintings in the plaque on the left side of the road, and anyone who has seen the villain book launched by the Abu branch can tell from its concise lines that it is the same person as the author of the villain book.

It's just that these huge portraits, in addition to the simple outline, the subtleties have been carefully crafted, and the characters inside have been dyed, and the clothes are colorful, bright and abnormal, which looks more realistic and vivid, high-end atmosphere.

Most of the characters in it are women, including common ladies in palace costumes, powerful ladies from wealthy families, some depicting young girls with deep boudoirs, some more suave teenagers, and even some portraits of high-powered officials.

These people, without exception, all stared at a delicate and transparent small bottle in their hands or on the table in front of them, full of affectionate looks, and in the blank space next to them, there were fonts or fancy or elegant and exquisite, but the content was very straightforward: Abu perfume, you deserve it!

Abu Perfume, what the hell is this? It's just such a small bottle, and everyone is so soulless! Some curious people also went to the Abu branch to ask the relevant duty students, and all they got were polite answers: "This is the store's upcoming business, so stay tuned", no matter how much you ask, you can't get more answers, so many people are confused, and they only remember those colorful and good-looking portraits, as well as the very straightforward "Abu perfume, you deserve it" sentence.

The first picture is a farmer bending over the ploughing, burying the golden seeds in his hands in the soil, his clothes are a little shabby, but his face is full of happy smiles, as if the seeds buried in the soil are the future harvest and happiness.

The second painting shows a small seedling with two green leaves, which is happily growing under the watering of the farmer. The painting method of this green seedling uses anthropomorphic techniques, as if the green seedling has come to life, and is trying to pull his body out of the soil little by little, vividly.

People passing by couldn't help but stop and watch, and let out a knowing smile, as if they all felt the author's joy and cheerfulness when painting.

The third painting shows an endless field of fields with plants that resemble sorghum, but are thicker than sorghum, with red tassels floating on top of each plant, and a long, thick, green-skinned fruit growing in the middle.

The farmer standing on the ground was smiling and contented, and looked intently at a long golden thing in his hand; In the blank space next to this painting, a simple sentence is written: Corn, the ladder to a good harvest, please consult the Abu branch for details!

Corn, what the hell is this? Is rice made of jade and can you eat it? Many people go to the store to inquire in disbelief, but they didn't expect this thing to really exist, if you want to eat it as food, you can directly place an order here, there are boiled corn cobs, boiled corn porridge, fried corn tortillas, and even popping cornflowers, as for the price, it is not very expensive, it is about ten times more expensive than ordinary rice.

The people who heard the inquiry wanted to scold their mother, this is not expensive!

The waiter then explained that he could also buy them back to make seeds, and if he was interested, he could go to the dealership for detailed consultation, and there would be a special person to teach how to plant them.

Some of the rich children who can't resist curiosity and are not short of money really spent a lot of money to taste a variety of corn delicacies launched by the Abu branch, and then they appreciated this novel food, especially after eating popcorn, they were even more addicted, which also attracted a lot of their friends to join, and for a time all over the country commented on the aftertaste of corn as beautiful, and even derived a lot of poetry works, which became a craze.

According to the salesman of the Abu branch, the benefits of growing corn are obvious, not only can increase the yield, but also the corn stalks and corn cobs can solve the problem of firewood shortage.

However, the high price of corn is prohibitive, and it is ten times more expensive than the usual price of rice.

When many people were hesitating, a very strange edict was issued from Chang'an City to various places, which probably meant that the parents and officials in various places could consider encouraging the local people to try to plant corn, but the total planting area needed to be strictly controlled, and the specific matters could be contacted by the Abu branch.

After some deliberation and discussion, many local officials have come to a conclusion, that is, it is estimated that the DPRK and China are not sure about this matter, so they will first conduct experiments on a small scale.

If you want to conduct experiments, wouldn't it be enough to concentrate them in one place and directly conduct them, and if they are successful, it will not be too late to promote them on a large scale.

However, this is a matter for the upper echelons to consider, and the people below only need to implement it carefully, so the people from the government came forward and officially began to contact the Abu branch.

The people at the Abu branch were very talkative, and explained to the people in the government that as for setting such a high price, it was just because corn was a new grain after all, and it was not easy for us to cultivate it for many years, and it was also a one-shot deal, and after everyone planted it for a year, they could use their own seeds, and there was no need to buy another seed.

The government also expressed their understanding, and when it came to how to buy, the Abu branch gave a very attractive solution, that is, you can lend the seeds to everyone to plant first, wait for the next year's harvest, and then return the amount ten times.

This is the same as buying with money, but it is also bartering, and at the same time delaying the payment time, but people everywhere agree with this method, anyway, just don't let the money out, as for the payment, plant it first and then talk about it.

In addition, the Abu branch also gave a suggestion on the size of the planting area of each household, that is, it is not recommended for each household to plant a large area of corn for the first time, after all, the climate and fertility of the land are different in different places, and if there is a large-scale disaster or unexpected situation, no one can afford such consequences.

In the end, it was decided that the planting amount of each household could not exceed half a catty, and the people from all over the country could go to the gate of the government to receive seeds, and at the same time sign and draw a pledge, and even some only received a corn cob, saying that they would go home and look at it, and then it would be considered a pleasure, if there was no harvest at that time, then it would not be paid, which caused everyone to wait in line laugh.

Although each household did not receive many seeds, the base was too large, and the huge amount of corn hoarded in the valley was swept away by various places, and many people who missed the opportunity because of their indecision could only stomp their feet and sigh.

So they went to the Abu branch to ask for seeds, and the waiter told them that there were no more seeds for this year, but when they saw that there were still people in the store eating corn on the cob and chewing popcorn, they turned around and asked the waiter what was the matter.

The waiter smiled and explained to them that this is old corn, and if it is planted, it cannot guarantee the germination rate and survival rate, so it can only be used for food; In desperation, these people could only pitifully beg their neighbors and friends to reward them with a few seeds.

In addition to the corn, there is also the mysterious little bottle, but in addition to remembering the name of the perfume and the advertising slogan, there are basically no people who have actually seen the real thing, and over time, everyone chooses to ignore it habitually.

But just as people were gradually forgetting about perfume, an even more violent storm of Abu swept in.
