301 Zhang Ding sells tea
After blasting away the people who listened to the story, Su You and Lai Yanbei finally ushered in a rare world of two, and they began to indulge.
You don't have to worry about not being able to wake up early tomorrow morning anyway, do you?
On the first day of spring, it is difficult to find someone as leisurely as Su You in the world; Even Yang Guang, who is the supreme in the world, has to be busy with the sacrifice, and after the sacrifice, it is naturally the early dynasty of the new year.
The early dynasty on this day was naturally dominated by the courtiers congratulating the emperor for the New Year and the emperor giving rewards to the courtiers.
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning.
Yang Guang announced the direction of the country's development in the coming year on this day, the most important of which of course included the opening of the Yongji Canal from Zhuojun to the Eastern Capital, as well as the plan to inspect Longyou that began after the Lantern Festival.
Because of Yang Guang's great cause, some people are happy and some are worried, and the most depressed one is none other than Yang Ying.
Yang Ying originally thought that his promotion to the crown prince would come to an end on this day, but after his father fell, he didn't even mention anything about it, as if this early dynasty had nothing to do with him.
Yang Ying left the court full of resentment, becoming more and more muddy, Su You really hoped that every day would be as muddy as the New Year's Day.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, it is natural to close the door in the inn, even if Zhang Zhenzhou comes to visit, Su You can also say very bullishly, "I am not available." ”
In fact, most of Su You's time was spent on Lai Yanbei, for seven consecutive days, Su You can be said to have spent the purest week; Of course, he did not leave behind the daily "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the occasional outbreak of "The Legend of the White Snake".
It's a double-open rhythm!
In addition to these, Su You often talked to Lu Zhongsu about sailing to Baekje, but Lu Zhongsu was always just a down-and-out official, and the business he did was just to provide transportation services for people.
Lu Zhongsu has some opinions about buying a boat and the like, but when it comes to reselling things to Baekje and what things to ship back from Baekje, all he can talk about is guessing.
Days like this go day after day, and the time accidentally arrives on the sixth day of the new year.
On this day, the shops in Hangzhou City began to open again, and there were more merchants walking the streets and alleys; Su You originally wanted to nest in the inn, but he was a little unhappy when he came to Yanbei, saying that if he continued like this, people would become moldy.
Su You looked at the little sun in the sky, and finally realized that it was time to do business; Then they walked out of the inn and began to wander around.
Before Su You, Lai Yanbei and the others reached the West Lake, they heard the voice of the newsboy, "Sell the newspaper!" Sell newspapers! As long as you have ten pennies, you can know the affairs of Hangzhou, and you can know the affairs of the world."
"There are also newspapers in Hangzhou?" Su You's mood suddenly became better, and he naturally felt that it was an accident when he came to Yanbei.
The appearance of newspapers is largely due to the appearance of Su You, so when he heard about the newsboy's clamour, he naturally would not let go of the opportunity to buy newspapers.
"What about ten cents, okay, you can take it." When the newsboy saw Su You waving, he immediately ran over happily and pulled out a newspaper from his arms.
Wang Bodang and the others wanted to rush to help Su You pay, but Su You took out a silver bean from the money bag first, and smiled kindly at the newsboy, "Come to five, you don't have to look for the money." ”
"Ah, thank you, I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year!" The newsboy took the silver bean, and immediately thanked him, of course he didn't forget to take the remaining four newspapers to Su You.
One silver bean is equivalent to a hundred dollars, and Su You used the money of ten newspapers to buy five newspapers, which can be regarded as a generous shot.
Su You nodded, and after watching the newsboy leave, he distributed the newspaper to Wang Bodang and the others.
"Sir, what are you?" Fuyu Minghui took the newspaper with some puzzlement and asked suspiciously.
"You probably don't know that I started and started this first newspaper, right? It was a real surprise to me to see that there were also newspapers in Hangzhou. Su You smiled and said a little seriously.
"Really? It turns out that the newspaper appeared because of Mr. Wang Bodang and Lu Sheng were also a little surprised, and asked with some disbelieving.
Xia Ziwei's brothers and sisters often stay in the Eastern Capital, and they are no strangers to the rumors that Su You founded a newspaper.
"Is this still fake? However, there is more exciting news. Su You nodded.
"What?" Lai Yanbei was also a little confused.
Su You immediately explained, "I had thought about using newspapers to attract investment, but what I thought about before was to run the newspaper first, which of course was not an overnight thing; I can't imagine that there was a newspaper in Hangzhou, isn't it that there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it? ”
Everyone didn't know the meaning of Su You's words, but Xia Ziwei was the first to respond, "Use the newspaper? Isn't there a newspaper in Yangzhou? Mr. might as well advertise in the newspapers in Yangzhou. ”
"Ziwei, there are really you, why didn't I think of this layer?" Su You nodded, and said a little exaggeratedly, "I can't wait to read the newspaper, let's go over there?" ”
Su You pointed to a teahouse across the road.
Fuyu Minghui pouted, only she knew that Su You didn't want to accompany them to press the road, at this time, she said that she was reading the newspaper, but it was still high-sounding.
During the Chinese New Year, the teahouses are closed, and the neighbors and people who are idle have long felt that they are gone, so the teahouse only opened today, and it was immediately full.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse was wearing a red silk jacket and a dark robe, standing at the door with a smile, hugging his fists with every tea guest:
"Shopkeeper Hou, you are very lucky!"
"Chen Guanren, step by step!"
"Brother Ma Liu, a New Year's salary increase!"
Most of the tea customers were also smiling, and after congratulating him on the New Year, they went into the store to drink tea.
Although Hangzhou is located south of the Yangtze River, the Spring Festival is still a little cold, but it doesn't matter, the guys in the store brought several charcoal pots and placed them in the hall to warm the teahouse.
According to the preferences of the guests, the tea doctors pour tea and water for each table of guests, the cups are clean, the water is boiling and the tea is comfortable, the fragrance is overflowing, and the running hall serves all kinds of exquisite refreshments, and says that this is the boss New Year's gift.
While people laugh and accept, they also have to sigh a few words of the same old tune.
The shopkeeper Hou, who runs a cloth village, shook his head while sipping tea: "This boss is really a big hand, and it is rare to buy and sell like this." ”
"Shut your beak." Zhao Qiye, who was at the table with him, was the overseer on the dock, and he had a big temper, and he didn't look down on this cheap and well-behaved appearance, and scolded, "Do you think everyone has fallen into the eyes of money like you?" ”
"You should be merciful during the New Year, if you don't care about me, you will be scolded for a year." Shopkeeper Hou didn't make a move for Zhao Qiye, and quickly surrendered: "Aren't I also anxious for Boss Zhang?" Don't say anything with the best, but also free orders and treats every once in a while, according to his method, I'm afraid that it won't last long, where can we find such a good place? ”
Su You didn't expect to be able to drink a free tea today, but compared to the surprise of Wang Bodang and others just now, when he rewarded him with fifty yuan, isn't this a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo?
When Su You was about to ask who this boss was, he heard a proud person shake his head and say, "This is called otherworldly, it is a hobby of celebrities and gentlemen; You laymen, don't you understand? ”
Before his words fell, the shopkeeper Hou immediately retorted, "It is said that Shinong Industry and Commerce, although the imperial court has supported the transaction a lot in the past two years, but you said that this business has become a romantic affair, I really don't understand." ”
"I don't know, I told you to read more newspapers, you don't read them, just know how to sell your cloth. Gu Changkang, a genius in the south of the Yangtze River, deliberately begged in the snow, sang lotus flowers, and used the money he begged to buy wine, and he was drunk. Lu Shiheng, a celebrity in my Huating, often wears 'five permanent clothes', grotesque, often uses lies, sensational, and seems to be debauched, but in fact he is experiencing the state of mind of a crazy beggar. Therefore, not only will it not be ridiculed, but it will make people awe-inspiring. ”
"So, Boss Zhang is also experiencing the state of mind of the teahouse owner?" Shopkeeper Hou said with wide eyes.
"It's hard to say, but there's definitely something in it."
"This person is talking nonsense, but he can also justify himself" Su You shook his head, but he didn't break the person's set of arguments, and immediately opened the newspaper.
The front page of the newspaper actually wrote that Hangzhou Bay was robbed by the Ryukyuans.
After Su You saw the newspaper, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, but fortunately, he immediately took the opportunity to hand over the ravages of the Ryukyuan people in a twisted way, otherwise Yang Guang understood that the invasion of the Ryukyus was through the newspaper, then he would have done too much dereliction of duty as a strategic envoy of the Southeast Economic Economy.
"Guys, what are you talking about?" Su You was looking down at the newspaper when he heard a rough voice come into his ears, which was obviously somewhat familiar.
Su You raised his head, but what he saw was Zhang Ding wearing a joyful costume and holding a tea tray and tea set to entertain guests,—— guests eating white food.
"I'm not mistaken, am I?" Su You rubbed his eyes, and finally determined that the person in front of him was indeed Zhang Ding.
"Big brother, is that you?" Su You couldn't help but stand up and greeted him across several tables.
"Transverse waves?" Zhang Ding obviously didn't expect that there were old acquaintances among the guests sitting in the innermost, and immediately confessed to those guests and walked over to Su You.
Zhang Ding approached Su You and asked in a low voice, "Hengbo, why are you here?" I heard that you have made an imperial history and are investigating the case of Zhang's boat company in Yangzhou. ”
This Zhang family is not the other Zhang family, so Zhang Ding has no psychological pressure when he talks about Zhang Xin's family.
When Wang Bodang and the others realized that Zhang Ding was Su You's old acquaintance, they were a little restless for a while.
"Did Big Brother read the newspaper?"
"You're here for the Ryukyus attack on Hangzhou Bay?" Zhang Ding nodded, and then said in a low voice, "I'll tell you, did I let this report be exposed?" Here's a secret, in fact, I started this newspaper at my behest. ”
"Really?" Su You listened to Zhang Ding's words, but he became a little vigilant.
Since the inception of "Dongdu News" and "Reference News", there have been more newspapers in Dongdu and Chang'an, but the people who founded the newspaper have their own purposes, for example, the white-clothed Maitreya also founded a newspaper in Dongdu at that time
Zhang Ding's founding of a newspaper will not be as simple as inviting people to drink tea for free, right?
