Chapter 271: Rich in the World
Good times don't last long.
Qin Shaoyou developed the habit of wearing casual clothes and drinking tea in the tea shop in the market.
In fact, Mengjin people are especially good at drinking tea, in the past, when tea was eaten by boiling, tea at that time was more like soup, generally eaten after a few bites, and there were not many people who usually ate it.
So just a year ago, the so-called tea shop was more like a restaurant, and now, with the popularity of princess tea, the real meaning of the tea shop has also appeared.
This kind of buying and selling that only provides tea and occasionally some pastries has not yet become popular in Luoyang, and there are only sporadic tea shops in the east and west markets, but in Mengjin, it has sprung up, from the street to the end of the street, everywhere.
Here, of course, there are some passers-by who have heard for a long time that the princess tea is produced in Mengjin, and people are like this, and they will always think that where is the birthplace of a certain commodity, they can't help but think that it is more authentic to be able to eat this thing in this place, so the concept of specialty products came into being. Therefore, regardless of where the tea is eaten is similar to the taste of Mengjin, psychologically, everyone always thinks that the tea eaten in Mengjin is better.
Another reason is that there are many merchants here.
Merchants pass through here, want to listen to the news, to do business, to ship, to receive, you have to find a place to contact people, so the tea shop here has another function, no matter where the businessmen come from, often will find a tea shop, go to order a few pots of tea first, there is a ride without a pair of drinks, the guy came over, and handed the guy a piece of paper, on which he wrote what he was doing, what goods he had in his hand, or what goods he wanted, and where he stayed in the inn, the guy got this note, I would write on the wall of the store with charcoal, and if anyone was interested, I would naturally contact the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper would send a letter to the person's accommodation. Ask the businessmen who are interested in discussing business to negotiate in the tea shop.
Therefore, the shopkeepers here serve tea and water to people, but the shopkeeper does not pay wages, their main income comes from matchmaking, often a transaction is made, the two sides of the buyer and seller will form some kind of tacit understanding, take out one or two dollars to reward, this income is far higher than the ordinary sense of the shopkeeper.
As a result, there are more and more tea shops, and more and more people are applying for free. Some people can't make a difference in the tea shop, so they simply go to inns, wine shops, and some, even go to those fireworks places, now in Mengjin, there are countless people like this, some people rely on matchmaking, and gradually have a vision. They know everything about the goods coming and going from the south to the north, what goods can be sold to make a profit, and what goods will rise and fall when they arrive, and these people naturally stand out. Relying on some of the money he usually saved, he took out some loans, and simply looked for some merchants who were eager to sell the goods and ate the goods himself. Immediately, he looked for some merchants who were in urgent need of these goods and sold them.
In this era, there is no discrimination against businessmen.
But everybody knows. For ordinary people, they can make profits from business and earn more than elsewhere, but there are not many people who do business, in fact, to put it bluntly, the vast majority of people in this era are mediocre, they do not have too high vision, a person has no vision, and he does not dare to take risks easily by guarding his own one-third of an acre. After all, the vast majority of people, what they have seen and heard in their lives are no more than thirty miles away, and the information they receive is nothing more than that a certain family is getting good this year, who has married a daughter-in-law, and a certain family is recruiting long-term workers.
And here, because of the great mobility of people, people come and go from north to south, and people here receive more than 100 times more information in a day than in other places.
And once people have vision, they will naturally become restless.
When you gradually become familiar with the market of goods in various places, when Mengjin is going to build a city, you immediately have a premonition that some goods may be bullish. What do you do at this time?
As a result, Mengjin suddenly became a paradise for adventurers, and these so-called adventurers, in fact, just a year ago, may have been an honest farmer, or just an illiterate hired man.
And now, there is a group of people who stand out from these people, who are good at words, who are familiar with the world, and who have a keen sense of observation.
In this generation of gate valves, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, if nothing else, a thousand years ago, your ancestors were ploughing the land, the biggest possibility is that now you are afraid that you are just a dealer in a certain Gaomen Grange.
Even if you are a businessman, you have a heritage, and if you want to engage in business, you often need to be exposed to it since childhood, and you need to follow your fathers to go around, so that you can have the insight to engage in business, know how to buy and sell, and know the price of goods in various places.
But now...... A group of people at the bottom are in Mengjin, and they are self-taught.
A peculiar phenomenon appeared, some people became rich overnight, and some people were unknown just a day ago, but overnight, they immediately became Meng Jin's prosperous figures.
Qin Shaoyou was in the tea shop, and what he heard the most was these topics, those who whispered, all they said was that a certain shop guy quit his job, naturally someone asked where he went, and the person who answered was envious, saying that this guy was a partner with someone and ate a batch of goods, just in time for someone to urgently need, and he made hundreds of dollars, and now he has done business by himself.
The so-called nouveau riche is a person who is originally worthless, and suddenly he is generous, buys houses everywhere, walks on the street, has at least three or four people to accompany him, eats the best tea, drinks the best wine, marries a daughter-in-law, and accepts a few concubines, this kind of person was unimaginable in the past, because in the era of the powerful and the gate valves in various places, a person wants to come out, it can be said that it is very small, this kind of person gives people a bad impression, always speaks louder than others, and wears silk satin, He almost held a gong in his hand and shouted everywhere to tell everyone that Lao Tzu was rich.
But no matter how many vices these people have, for Meng Jin, there is one more thing - hope!
The world can be dirty, it can be vulgar, it can be rich and unkind, and there can be people who oppress the good, but it must not be hopeless.
In the past, for the ordinary people, they could only plow the land for the rest of their lives, and as for those wealthy families, people deserved it, even if these wealthy families were polite, and even people like bullying them didn't bother to move their fingers, because there was an unfathomable gap between them, and this world was divided into two. Everyone, from the beginning of their birth, their fate seems to have been sealed, but now...... But it's completely different.
In the past, the son of the Liu family of Qinghe was said to have gone to Jingshi, and was also awarded an official position, marrying the daughter of the Marquis of Chengzhou. This kind of topic, for people, is always just a talking point.
In the past, the Liu leper at the head of the village was the guy who had died a long time ago and lived in the City God Temple every day, he ...... It's actually made a fortune. This is enough to be touched by the topic.
Because of the son of the Liu family, the ordinary people will never be able to compare with him, he is an official, he has a good family business, this is a matter of course, and it is something that ordinary people can't achieve in a lifetime. But Liu Lezi at the head of the village is different, because this guy is not as good as himself, and goods like him can grow in Mengjin, why can't he?
Thereupon...... Some people are resentful, but at the same time, they also have expectations.
Why don't you go to Mengjin and try it, Liu Lezi can, why can't I? He can't read big characters, so I can still write my own name.
The strangers began to be overcrowded, they went around, like flies, and saw the stitches appear in every corner of Mengjin, everyone was full of hope, wandering around, among these people were at the bottom, there were some people with a craft, there were some small merchants at the bottom, and there were also some concubines who were not treated by the high-level families, everyone was looking for opportunities here, some people were down, and some people gradually improved.
And Qin Shaoyou sat in this tea shop, enjoying this dazzling array of news, all kinds of endless strange things, especially in Mengjin, here and Luoyang are different, Luoyang in addition to the east and west of the city, the vast majority, the population is fixed, who is your neighbor, who is the right house, you are clear, but here, everyone comes into contact with strangers, as many as the carp across the river, people from Yangzhou, bring the customs of Yangzhou, people from Chang'an, with an accent in Guanzhong, from Shandong, It tends to be more sturdy, so cool and direct.
On the street outside the tea shop, the flow of people is like weaving, sweating like rain, if Qin Shaoyou pushes open the window, he will see that the outside is like a temple fair, and he only sees the undulating heads of the crowd.
He obviously felt very different about this, and many things in Meng Jin now were to some extent the result of his unintentional insertion, but the fruit that came out of it made him breathtaking.
After eating tea, I was about to get up to meet the account, but a team of people rushed in the tea shop, led by Chen Jie, who was Changshi Chen Jie, as soon as Chen Jie arrived, the tea shop was suddenly silent, and then the shopkeeper greeted him, revealing a stammering gesture, and said: "Chen Changshi ......"
Chen Jie didn't bother to pay attention to him, but his eyes fell on Qin Shaoyou, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Grandpa, it's really easy to find, there are guests visiting, grandpa ......"
Qin Shaoyou was annoyed that Chen Jie was too reckless, so much so that he suddenly became the focus of all attention, but he still said calmly: "Oh? I don't know who came? ”
Chen Jie said: "Wei Xuanzhen." ”
