Chapter 722: Supermarkets (continued)
"Two military masters." The wealthy shopping guide arched his hand and said with a smile, "You are the military masters of the new army, and you can get a nine-percent discount when you buy things here according to the rules." That is, thirty-six taels of silver. This price is not set by us, and we don't have the face to give you a profit. The price is really unspeakable. Please forgive me. ”
After a pause, the shopping guide, who was as graceful as a grandfather, covered his mouth and coughed. Slowly came to the wardrobe, stretched out his hand and stroked the wardrobe, "Let's not say anything else, it is indeed less than forty taels of silver to find a skilled craftsman outside to make the same cabinet as this one." But. ”
The relaxed shopping guide turned around, gently patted the standing mirror embedded in the cabinet, narrowed his smiling eyes, and said softly, "Don't think about this mirror." The entire Ming Kingdom, except for us, you don't want to see it anywhere. Let's be honest, this wardrobe sells for the money of this mirror! Look at this mirror, do you still think the price is too high? ”
Li Gouyu, who had been gritting his teeth, finally made up his mind to buy this wardrobe. A full thirty-six taels of silver, so much silver made his distressed heart twitch. Except for buying a house and getting married, he has never spent so much money in his life! It's bleeding today.
Wang Wu on the side was entangled from beginning to end, and in the end he still couldn't make up his mind to buy it. He was afraid of living a poor life, and he really didn't dare to spend money so lavishly. That's the money you bought for your life.
Li Gouyu took out a brand-new silver ticket from his arms. It is not the kind of silver ticket stamped with seals that has always been used by the Ming Dynasty, but the real coins that Gao Yang brought from modern time and space. Banknotes with watermark and anti-counterfeiting marks cannot be imitated in this time and space. You can tell the difference when you shine in the sun, and the degree of safety is beyond imagination.
Although Gao Yang's main focus has always been on the military, he has not relaxed his efforts in people's livelihood.
Gao Yang invested a large amount of precious metals and established a royal money bank in the name of the royal family. It is this modern coin that was issued. The workmanship of red, red, green and green is very exquisite, and the banknotes are also very good-looking in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The corresponding amount should be the corresponding silver two amounts. A dollar bill is a tael of silver, and the largest denomination is a hundred yuan. It is not the kind of loose silver that is cut with scissors in large quantities in the market. It's a neat official ingot!
Li Gouyu happily took out a few bills, counted them carefully, and handed them to the shopping guide. It's much more convenient than carrying around a heavy amount of silver. Now this royal money house has established a branch in Jingshi and the entire Fuxian county of Beizhili. If you go to any of these banknotes, you can exchange them for the corresponding silver at any time. With the advance of the new army in the future, this royal money house will inevitably spread all over the world. Become the heart of the entire empire's economy!
The shopping guide took Li Gouyu to the account to check out. After using the money detector to check that it was correct, the shopping guide issued a receipt for the goods to Li Gouyu. It is written in detail what to buy and the price. and where and when the delivery will be made. After stamping the seal, the shopping guide said with a smile, "What is within the Jingshi will definitely be delivered today." After the military master goes back, just wait for the receipt of the goods. ”
After buying the wardrobe, Li Gou was left relaxed. Breathing a sigh of relief, he said with a smile, "Big Fifth Brother, don't you want to buy something?" ”
"Hmm." Wang Wu responded a little depressedly. At this time, even a man will feel a little embarrassed. He secretly made up his mind that he must buy something for the family. You can't come here and come out empty-handed.
The two did not immediately go home after leaving the market, which specializes in selling furniture. Instead, they continued to wander around in this large and lively neighborhood. The variety of goods here is really very complete. As small as the needle and thread, the pen and inkstone. Large to four-wheeled carts, large furniture. Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, necessary or unnecessary things are all here.
After the two of them came to the food area, Wang Wu finally made a move. In the meat area, large pieces of pork, beef and mutton fill the entire glass counter, making people dazzled. Best of all, the prices here are much cheaper than outside. At least 30% cheaper! Now the two of them can understand why the people in the capital have to come here every day and squeeze in line. That's a real money saver.
Wang Wu beat five catties of pork in one go, and one catty of beef also carried a box of eggs. In addition, I also bought a long hairtail fish and tasted it, so I was satisfied to settle the money. In his mind, the food was actually in his stomach. There's really no need for something like that flashy wardrobe.
Li Gouyu also bought some food. But it's not beef or mutton. He had already eaten enough fish and eggs in the barracks. The family has the money he gives, and there is no shortage of these foods. He bought fruit. Some fruits that are extremely rare in the north, such as bananas, sugar cane, longan, etc., are characteristic of the south. Don't talk about them in the old days. Even the nobles in the palace are extremely difficult to eat!
"How do you buy some useless things?" Wang Wu looked at what Li Gou had bought. Asked in surprise.
"Hey, hey." Li Gouyu smiled and scratched his short hair, "I haven't heard of these things before." It's hard to get it now, and it's not too expensive. I bought some and took them home for my aunt to try. ”
"You are really ......," Wang Wu pouted and shook his head and said, "My mother-in-law, what are you doing with such a good raiser?" How much does it cost? The money we fought for with all our lives. How can you just use it, you don't want to leave some for your future son? ”
"Hey, hey." Li Gouyu continued to smile and said, "Aunt is very good to me. There is nothing to buy something to eat. Our salary is so high, when we have a child, we will provide him with education. When you grow up, what kind of military school will you go to? I heard the commander say that after graduating from the military academy, you can directly enter the army as an officer! We don't have this life in this life, so we are waiting to send him to the military academy after we have a son, and we will have a good future in the future. ”
In this era, it is natural for a son to inherit his father's business. Li Gouyu felt that they were doing well in the new army now. Naturally, I want my children to follow this path that is obviously very smooth at the moment. The hearts of parents all over the world are generally like this.
"Ugh." Wang Wu shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly, "You." ”
After Wang Wu and Li Gouyu settled the accounts, they went home happily. They didn't notice that it was in this huge food market. A large number of servants in charge of purchasing from the families of the dignitaries of the capital are picking and choosing here. Among them, the highest status is undoubtedly Gonggong Zheng from the palace. The variety of goods here is mouth-watering. But if there is a bit of status. Or those who have money in their hands will buy items in this market.
Retail and wholesale can be done at the same time. If the quantity or weight of the items you buy exceeds a certain amount, then you can directly choose wholesale. This is how bulk cargo procurement takes place.
This Gonggong Zheng is also quite depressed. In the past, when he went out of the palace to buy, where was he not treated like an uncle? Good tea and good water are waiting, not to mention. The necessary filial piety is absolutely indispensable. With these filial piety, Gonggong Zheng has already bought a big mansion in Beijing. also raised two concubines, and lived an extremely comfortable life. Whoever dares not to give him face should wait for the royal tribute.
Don't think it's a good thing to pay tribute to the palace. On the contrary, whoever stands up for such a thing has to cry out loud. Especially what to eat.
The tribute food was sent to the imperial dining room in the palace, and after being carefully cooked, it entered the stomach of a nobleman in the palace. During this period, as long as there is something wrong in one link that should not be there, or someone secretly does something, it will be a big trouble immediately! If you don't get caught, you will have to make a big fortune.
Even if the thing itself is fine, it has not been secretly stumped. But in case the noble man who ate happened to have some headache and brain fever during this period. In order to shirk their responsibilities, most doctors will use 'eating the wrong thing' as one of the excuses. That's also a big problem. Whoever gets involved in this kind of thing is unlucky.
Gonggong Zheng, who holds this power, can live an extremely comfortable life in the past. But when his sourcing location was confined to the supermarket, he became a complete unlucky bastard with no oil or water to fish.
Don't say anything good here, don't even have a cup of tea! Do you like to buy it or not! In the past, the thriving procurement yamen was instantly snubbed, and even the birds were willing to come to the door!
But Gonggong Zheng has nothing to do about it. Behind this supermarket stands a national teacher! Even the emperor has to be polite to the national teacher, how can he, a little eunuch, dare to show his dissatisfaction? As for doing something like a little action in secret, don't even mention it! Gonggong Zheng is not a fool, he knows very well what he can do and what he can't do! Otherwise, it would not have been possible to beat so many competitors and sit in the current position.
After selecting the good things, Zheng Gonggong took the list to the counter of the wholesale goods settlement and handed it to the staff. After paying the money and taking the receipt, he turned around and left with a cold face. When the list is ready, the people here hand it over to the servants who are pushing their four-wheeled carts outside the market. There is no need for Gonggong Zheng to do anything more.
"I'm really angry with our family. When did the palace ask for something and give silver? Is this still at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Are they still subjects of the Ming Dynasty?! This kind of angry words naturally muttered in my heart. Gonggong Zheng didn't dare to say it. What he didn't know was that Gao Yang didn't collect money from the palace at all. The banknotes he used were all issued by the royal bank. And the behind-the-scenes boss of the Royal Money House is Emperor Chongzhen! The money was just a hand, and not a penny was spent in the palace.
Emperor Chongzhen's suspicion is very serious, but he trusts Gao Yang from the bottom of his heart. In addition to the fact that the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, he is helpless to be the emperor. This royal bank is also an extremely important influence!
