Chang'an city in the palace, ya, city, house miscellaneous places. The residential area (civilian) is located in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, and is divided into 160 "Luli" by criss-crossing streets. The form of Luli was born out of the basic organization of the agricultural well-field system and natural economy, the male farmer and the female weaver society, and when it was transferred to the city, it became the basic unit of supervision, curfew, and conscription for urban residents, but replaced the agricultural residents with urban residents (handicraftsmen, merchants, etc.).

Wang is honestly a kind person, at least everyone in the whole alley says so.

At this time, the honest man Wang honestly looked a little uneasy. He returned home with a large package on his back and closed the door with a nervous face. Putting the package on his back on the couch, Wang Laoshi asked the mother-in-law who was about to cook, "Mother-in-law, where is the dog running away again?" ”

"I ran the moat with the big cow next door to touch the fish and shrimp, and recently this baby has been growing tall and hungry."

The mother-in-law said helplessly, since she moved into this Chang'an City, there is no place to raise pigs. In the past, when I was in the countryside, I could slaughter a pig at the beginning of the year every year, and I could save some food after the wax was dried, and I could see some oil and meat in the pot all year round.

Wang Laoshi's swarthy face flushed a hint of red, if he hadn't insisted on coming to the city back then, his mother-in-law wouldn't have had to suffer so many years of sin. You must know that the mother-in-law is a flower in the pavilion, and the people who came to the door to ask for relatives were about to break the threshold, but who knew that Wang Laoshi, who couldn't beat a fart with eight sticks (don't doubt it, the Han Dynasty was free to love, and the mother-in-law rarely asked for a car and a house).

"Mother-in-law, I have wronged you." Wang Laoshi opened the package and took out an oilcloth bag, which contained a knife of pork, I am afraid that it will have to look like four or five catties.

"Pork?!" The mother-in-law's eyes lit up first, and then she complained: "What are you spending so much money for?" What about this month's rations? ”

Wang honestly smiled, and carefully took out a red silk bag from his arms and handed it to his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law put the pork on the table, took it with both hands, opened it to see, and exclaimed in surprise: "Bracelet!" Where did it come from? ”

"Today, the owner issued a monthly example." Wang honestly smirked, as if he was drunk in peace.

"Don't lie to me, I followed you back then, even if I fancy your loyalty and honesty, I admit that you are tired of hardships. But if you are arrested by the government for the sake of money, what can you do with our mothers? ”

The mother-in-law obviously didn't believe Wang's honest statement, her eyes were red, and she almost wanted to cry. She is in charge of money at home, and Wang Laoshi is a mason, and she knows how much money she can earn. The bracelet in his hand was so afraid that it would cost five or six hundred baht, which was enough to cover his salary for half a year.

"Don't cry, don't cry, how can I ever lie to you? It's really a monthly case issued by the owner, and there are still a lot of things left. ”

Wang Laoshi couldn't see his mother-in-law crying, so he hurriedly opened another small cloth bag in the package and spread it on the couch, and nearly a thousand copper coins were displayed in front of Wang Laoshi's mother-in-law with great impact.

The mother-in-law stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes were full of surprise, thinking that Wang Laoshi had indeed never deceived her over the years, and besides, he didn't have the courage to do some illegal things, so she already believed it a little, but she felt a little incredible.

"Isn't the owner crazy?" It was the only reason she could think of.

"What nonsense?!" Wang Laoshi has money, and his waist is a little stiffer, "The owner said, in the future, my monthly price will be 1,500 yuan, and there will be another reward for good work?" ”

"Huh? Isn't that more than the officials? In the alley in front, Granny Wang's nephew is a big official in Chang'an County, and he only has a rank of 200 stones, which is only 1,300 yuan a month. ”

The mother-in-law exclaimed in surprise, and the biggest official she had ever seen, that is, the nephew of Granny Wang, immediately took it out for comparison. In fact, the smallest official rank in Chang'an City is 400 stones, and 200 stones can only be regarded as an official. The officials of 200 stones may be a little powerful in the county, but in Chang'an, where there are many officials in Beijing, anyone in Beique Jiadi can pinch him to death.

Wang Laoshi nodded proudly, it was not easy to finally get Zhenfugang. After thinking for a moment, he said: "When it comes to the beginning of the year, the owner has given me a vacation, let's go back to our hometown." It's been several years since you came out, and you haven't been back to your parents' house. ”

The mother-in-law looked at Wang Laoshi and nodded with tears in her eyes. Unlike Wang Laoshi, whose parents died when he was a child, and his family was surrounded by four walls, her mother's family was also a rich family in the pavilion, and her parents were still alive. Since he followed Wang Laoshi into the city, although he could eat and clothe himself, he didn't save any money to spare. In the past few years, although it is only two days away from his mother's home, he has never returned. I also missed my father and mother so much, but I could only hide in the quilt and cry silently.

Now Wang Laoshi has so many monthly cases, and there are still a few months to reach the beginning of the year, so he should be able to save a lot of money. When the time comes, I will tear some cloth for my father and mother, and then bring some novelties in Chang'an City to my nephews and nieces, and my sister-in-law who is harsh will not be able to say anything. Thinking of the happy place, I couldn't help but laugh.

Bang Dang!

The door was pushed open, and the two of them were startled and came back to their senses. Wang's honest mother-in-law was very clever, and she tied the cloth bag containing the copper coins in three or two clicks, connected the bracelet in her hand, and stuffed it into the quilt one by one.

"Mother! Look at the fish and shrimp I caught. The muddy dog was carrying a dripping net in his hand, and ran into the back room excitedly, and when he saw the old lady whose eyes were still a little red, he hurriedly said: "Mother! What's wrong? Did Daddy bully you?! ”

Wang honestly looked at him helplessly and glared at his son angrily, this kid is with his mother, and now he has met a good owner, and he has plenty of money, so he has to have another daughter, so as not to be bullied by the mother and the mother.

"Hehe, my mother is fine, the sand was blown into my eyes by the wind." The mother-in-law lied without changing her face and heartbeat, and she didn't care where the wind came from in the back room, and then pointed to the oilcloth bag on the case and said: "Your father has made a monthly case today, bought pork, and my mother will make you meat soup to eat today." ”

When the dog heard this, he jumped up happily, held the net and said, "Fry the fish and shrimp again and give it to Daddy to drink............

That night, a family of three sat around the dining table and happily ate a sumptuous dinner. (That's right, the poor are all eating in the same case)

Squinting his eyes and taking a sip of ale wine, Wang was so beautiful that it was bubbling. These two baht a pound of ale wine were only willing to buy some to taste in festivals in the past, knowing that two baht can buy five catties of fine corn. Replaced with wheat, it was enough food rations for the family for several days. Today, the mother-in-law was happy, gave the dog ten baht, let him run and get five catties of wine, and kept the rest to buy some snacks, but the dog was very happy.

Wang Laoshi saw that the mother-in-law had a new bracelet on her wrist, and she was even careful to pick up a dish, and she was even more proud in her heart, and said: "Hurry up and pull a few pieces of cloth for you to go to the East Market, make a few new clothes, and you can also buy some rouge gouache or something." ”

The mother-in-law glanced at him, touched the little head of the dog who was eating a lot on the side and said: "Although I have plenty of money now, I have to pay for some flowers, and I have to save money for our dog to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Isn't this ten years old? After a few years to learn a craft from me, afraid that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law? Wang said honestly, obviously belonging to the psychological expansion of the poor after becoming rich.

The mother-in-law showed a trace of worry on her face: "I don't know what your owner said?" Thinking about it, it always feels like a dream, how can I give you a monthly example as high as a mason? I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

Wang honestly glanced at her with disdain, and then whispered secretly: "Do you know who the owner is?" Saying it scares you to death, it is the younger brother of the current queen and the brother-in-law of the prince! He doesn't count, and who else speaks? Do you know the Heavenly Chambers and the Seven Tricks Pavilion of the Northern Quejiadi? ”

Wang's honest mother-in-law nodded, she heard a lot of people talk about it when she went to the East and West Market to buy things, it seemed to be two fairyland-like places, countless times better than the place where the emperor lived. Of course, when the last sentence was spoken, everyone lowered their voices and looked like a sneaky thief.

"Both of these places are owned by our owner! Or the tiles I pasted! Wang honestly looked at the dog, lowered his voice, and said in the mother-in-law's ear, but then instructed, "Don't say it, the owner won't let the inside things be passed on." ”

Wang's honest mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with surprise on her face. Although I don't know what the "tile" is, since Wang Laoshi has worked in it, it is a great thing. The two fairyland realms were built by my old man, and this mother-in-law quickly deified the old man in her heart.

"Dog, eat more, grow strong, and learn from your father in the future!" The mother-in-law touched the dog's little head and said, she had less worries in her heart, and she learned this big secret again, so she was naturally a lot happier.

At night, the old couple finally waited for the dog to fall asleep, and there was a burst of clouds and rain.

(Nearly 100 chapters are omitted here, but for details, see the National Publishing No. xxxxxxxxxxxx, pp. 108 to 897.) ）

After a long time, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, and the mother-in-law pillowed her head on Wang Laoshi's chest, and the two talked a lot.

It was late at night, but the lights were still on in the study of Tian Sheng's house.

"Butler, how is the recent income of the Heavenly Chamber?"

Tian Sheng finished reading the silk in his hand, stretched his waist, and asked the old butler who was still fiddling with his head on the side.

"Back to the young master, the 10,000 health pills sent by the Zhan Mansion last month have all been sold out, and if you count the discounts, you will get 43 million. The first and second floors earned a total of more than 500,000 yuan, but the third floor lost nearly 300,000 yuan. Do you think it's time to raise the price for the third floor? The butler hesitated to suggest.

Tian Sheng thought for a while and replied: "Not only can the price not be raised on the third floor, but the price must be reduced!" Reduced to the loss of the third floor and the income of the first and second floors, it is necessary to keep the heavenly room without making money or losing money. ”

"Huh?!" The butler's face was full of surprise, this is not like the young master's style in the past.

In order to cultivate a qualified helper, Tian Sheng carefully taught: "There are many good places to go in Chang'an City, why can only the heavens be able to enter the gold?" The little songs of the Autumn Moon Pavilion are better; Things like mahjong and poker have long been learned; No matter how delicious pastries and juices are, they will get tired of eating and drinking every day. Why don't the ladies go to other homes to have fun? ”

Seeing the housekeeper frowning and thinking, Tian Sheng continued: "First-class merchants do standards, second-rate merchants do brands, and third-rate merchants do products. His Royal Highness the Prince's words are really reasonable. I pondered for more than half a year before I had a clue.

In the beginning, why didn't we open a pastry shop and a juice shop, but spent a lot of money to build a heavenly room? It is to make a name in the sky, and the name is the brand! What the ladies of the capital want is an identity! Qiuyue Pavilion, the kind of place where everyone can go to Fengmanlou, is the low-end brand in the prince's mouth. The heavenly rén represents identity and status, and it is a high-end brand.

Now that the brand is out, we should set a standard for the merchants who intend to imitate, a high standard that they are difficult to achieve, that is, the principle of market access for Rausch. ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "So, the prince let the tile workshop outside the city start at full speed, and asked the young master to run this construction company, and also signed a long-term contract with skilled craftsmen with high salaries, because he wanted to ......"

Tian Sheng looked at the old housekeeper appreciatively, nodded and said: "Yes, since they want to imitate, let's help them, and after a while, we will start selling tiles and all kinds of furniture, and the pastry and juice workshop will also be expanded." Let them do it first, and then wait until they can't do it anymore......"

Tian Sheng looked down at the silk silk in his hand, and there were a few big words written on the frontispiece "Heavenly Franchise Chain Rules", and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
