Chapter 421: Jubao Zhai
In the Pearl Square, an antique two-storey small building, sitting east and facing west, two-storey pavilion, the lower floor is bronze, the upper floor is light green, the tone is elegant, simple and atmospheric; On the roof, the cornices and the stacked glazed tiles are shining with broken light under the refraction of the starlight and moon shadow.
Jubao Zhai, although it has just opened, but it has long been known as Chang'an, and it has long heard that Chang'an jade unicorn Li Wenyong has developed a glass that resembles glass but is more transparent than glass, and it is said that the mirror made of this glass can shine on people; The glass windows are also many times better than the paper windows, and when you are at home, the sunlight pours down, and the whole room is very bright.
It is said that His Majesty is in love with glass products today, and often takes them out to appreciate with the ministers, but the ministers only have envy, and it is said that at the beginning, a piece of glass was fried for hundreds of sky-high prices. And now, the long-awaited glass has finally begun to be sold, and early in the morning, the door of Liulifang was crowded.
In the past, the Pearl Square was always lively, the shouting and selling, the performance of the performance, the play of playing, the distraction of the heart, now the Pearl Square has become the symbol of Chang'an City, whether it is the merchants who walk the world or the merchants of the Western Regions, come to Chang'an, the Pearl Square is their must-visit place, and, in the Tang Dynasty, the placement of small stalls and vendors is strictly regulated, and the designated things must be sold in the designated place. But Pearl Square is an exception, which was specially approved by Li Er, as long as it does not affect the order, you can set up stalls at will, so it is the most lively place in Chang'an.
However, the atmosphere of Pearl Square today is a little weird, and most of the people in the whole square are crowded at the door of Jubao Zhai, waiting for the opening time.
After a while, I saw a young man open the door of Jubao Zhai, but as soon as this guy opened the door, he was startled by the situation in front of him.
When the crowd in Wuyang saw the door open, they desperately squeezed in, for fear that they would not be able to buy it when they were finished.
The guy was just stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, followed by several guys who fought to block the crowd of people, and shouted with all his strength: "Don't squeeze!" Line up! Line up! ”
However, the crowd ignored him and continued to squeeze in.
When the guy saw that no one listened to him, he was also angry, and suddenly entered the house to get a bench, and found a simple megaphone, since this thing was invented, it has long been mass-produced, and it is deeply loved by merchants from all walks of life, so it is not unusual, but it is a pity that no one gave Li Yi the property right fee, which is the sadness of not understanding the protection of property rights.
said that it was far away, but said that this guy picked up the bench and the megaphone, stood at the door, and shouted loudly with a broken gong.
"Stop it!"
Not to mention, this shouting really worked, and everyone looked at him in a daze.
The young man was relieved to see that everyone had stopped crowding, and he was also a little proud in his heart.
"Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, everyone listen to me, you don't have to worry, this time the supply of Jubao Zhai is absolutely sufficient, to ensure that everyone can buy glass, but you must line up, from now on, I will stand here, if anyone does not line up, hard to break in, don't blame me for not giving face to the stone, not selling you glass!"
After speaking, seeing that everyone was really obedient, they began to slowly line up, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he remembered something again and continued: "By the way, customers with membership cards can skip the queue and go directly to the store to buy!" ”
"Why?"
"It's not fair!"
"That's right! It's not fair! ”
The stone's words immediately caused a commotion, but the stone did not panic, just explained calmly.
"Everyone, it's useless for you to tell me, this is the rule set by our little grandfather. But according to me, there is nothing unfair about this, people spend money to buy a membership card, naturally to enjoy special treatment, you know, this membership card is not cheap, so, just say that the cheapest silver membership card is also fifty, fifty, enough for me to buy how many white buns, so ah, people spend money, they should enjoy this treatment! You say yes, right? ”
"This is the small stone of Anyi Fang, I know him, this kid was originally very poor, but he was suddenly favored by the Jinding Business Alliance, became a buddy, and developed overnight!"
"Hey, I know him too, this kid used to be a bastard, and he didn't have a serious attitude all day long, but you look at it now, he still looks like a dog, this Jinding Business Alliance is amazing, and the people who do things here, even if they are guys, talk like cultural people."
"That's not it, who doesn't know our jade unicorn in Chang'an, the rules he set can't be wrong!"
After the stone finished speaking, the people below who didn't know each other began to talk about it.
But there are also discordant sounds.
"Humph! This membership card is a joke, the old man and the seven-grade officials still have to queue up? And those lowly businessmen with membership cards can actually swagger in, do you know what etiquette is in Jubaozhai? ”
When the stone heard this, his face turned pale. "This lord, this membership card was personally formulated by the county prince Li Yuanzheng, and it was also personally allowed by His Majesty, if you have an opinion, you can enter the palace to play impeachment, I don't understand these, but the rules are the rules, if you want to buy things in Jubao Zhai, you must abide by the rules here!"
Immediately, the stone looked at everyone again, walked into the room, took out a piece of glass, pointed to the glass, and said to everyone, "Look, this is glass, you can compare glass with glass, and see who is better?" ”
Everyone looked at the glass in the hand of the stone, and their eyes suddenly lit up, this glass is much better than most glass, of course, the best glass is much better than glass, after all, the technology of glass is only rudimentary.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what I'm going to say is, such a magical glass, can you guess how much it costs for just such a piece?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were sudden. They all know the price of glass, and they can come here because they have a little extra money at home, but few can afford to buy glass, let alone this kind of glass? For a moment, everyone fell silent.
"Presumably all uncles and aunts know that this glass can be said to be priceless. But! ”
With that, the stone jerked up its voice, attracting everyone's attention.
"However, Li Yuan is in order to make glass available to most of the people in Chang'an, so that all the houses in Chang'an can be bright, so that each of us can have a mirror, at least let us know what we look like, we can't live once, even what we look like is vague, this is not good, you say yes?"
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
"Grandpa Li for our people to get benefits, endure the pressure of loss, overwhelm the differences, make a decision, let Jubaozhai and the charity foundation cooperate, the price of glass to the minimum, you know, now a glass is several times better than the glass, but the price is only one percent of the glass, you say, Grandpa Li for our people, is it a hero?"
