Chapter 221: The Big Wedding (Part II)
"Da Lang, take a multi-pronged approach, or you send someone to Bashu to take a look first, where the side households are really bitter, I don't lie to you, as long as you give them a little way out, they will do things for you desperately." This is business, don't think about a million profits. Take a look at Hezhou, you have all started to make money, Hezhou is still continuing to throw money, how much money has been sprinkled, more than 300,000 yuan, once my two big houses are full, not money, there is a lot of gold and silver, otherwise you have to send five or six houses to pile up. After I left, the people of Hezhou guarded day and night, for fear of accidents. That's when the benefits begin. If you're afraid of the principal and want to make money, that's okay. Listen to me, or you'll regret it when the time comes. ”
A few Yanai had to go back depressed.
Only then did Pan Mei really understand why everyone said that the river had become better, and sighed and said: "Xiao Jiu, he is the son of Zhao Xianggong, you can help it." ”
"General Pan, it's not that I don't help, I help a lot, but every time I say it, he only listens to a small half, and most of the half doesn't listen, for example, the best land at that time was only sold for 20 yuan a mu, and the difference is only worth a few yuan, I asked him to buy it quickly, but he didn't listen, and now it has risen to 50 yuan, and it will rise. And when Hezhou first started to plan, I tried all my means to persuade them to come in, but some of them thought I was humble, some didn't believe it, and some didn't do the same thing. If it weren't for His Majesty's Majesty to let the two kings, the three kings and the Gao family contribute to help and play a leading role, it would have been delayed. Just like this time, the cost of a side household is 30 yuan. They lived a miserable life, and if they were given three taels of money a month, they were willing to sign a long-term contract, and one of them would save their salary for a year. If you sign a four-to-five-year contract. It's equivalent to earning. If you can't even afford to pay this money, you want to make a lot of money. This business is too good to do. And if you move a side household, the number of side households in a county will decrease. The lord had to be kind to the people. If they don't listen, General Pan, what should I do? Am I cutting my salary and forcing people to go to where he is? ”
Pan Mei had a headache when she heard this, and said, "I don't understand this, you still take us to Hezhou to have a look." ”
"Yes."
The group walked out of the East Water Gate, and there were no other buildings in the western half except for the test room, but there were some small stalls and vendors shouting everywhere, and so many shops were opened. They still have a business. Pan Mei said: "Take me to the laboratory to have a look." ”
Song Jiuhu glanced at Pan Mei suspiciously, don't look at this test laboratory, now it is still an idler. Inside is screening, but there are some dangerous tests, all of which are laboratory products and cannot be officially produced. After hearing about it, Zhao Kuangyin strengthened the guards, especially in the front yard. Even Pan Mei may not be able to enter. Pan Mei whispered on the horse: "Your Majesty's orders, and let you take out some dangerous objects to show them......
"Okay," Song Jiu couldn't help laughing.
Then look at the dangerous things, Song Jiu brought the group in. Sure enough, the guards didn't do anything to stop it, and Song Jiu first ordered: "Brother Qin, you are optimistic." Don't touch them, it's too dangerous. ”
Some chieftains knew how to read. There were many bottles and jars inside, as well as a variety of utensils. Everything was available, metal, glass, ceramic, wooden, and other oddities. In fact, these are also money, not less money, they are all deliberately customized, and the cost is very high. The main thing is the use of acid, and the lead stove alone has been transformed several times. Some have corrosive, heavily corrosive, toxic, heavily poisonous, explosives, flammables, and skulls painted on them. Each of the dozen or so houses in front has such a note. As for the ore, it has long been moved to the backyard. This is to be screened, those are the places where ordinary students can do the test.
Song Jiu first took out two bottles and asked for a piece of meat from the servant guarding the backyard, in fact, the servant looked at the back, and the front did not need to be seen by the guards, and it was estimated that no thief dared to come in. Song Jiu tried to show them again, and this test was effective, and anyone who saw it would have chills all over their bodies. Song Jiu looked at the more than twenty barbarians, who were playing coldly together, smiled, and said, "This is a change, you can see it again." ”
Putting down one of the bottles, taking out the other, going outside, carefully pouring a portion of them into a glass tube, corking the tube with a cork. A few of the soldiers had already retreated far away. Pan Mei looked at them strangely, and one of the soldiers knew Pan Mei and shouted, "General Pan, you go back." ”
Song Jiu turned around and shouted, "What's your name!" ”
Don't scare Pan Mei, and scare yourself so much that your hands will shake, and something will happen.
Put it extremely carefully in a stone pit, and then run away quickly, the weather is cold, and soon it gradually half-solidifies, Song Jiu found a piece of iron ore, and then said: "You are optimistic about this thing." ”
After saying that, he smashed it with iron ore, smashed it in front, and shouted: "Get down." ”
Everyone didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, and saw Song Jiu lying on the ground, and the soldiers in the distance saw in advance that Song Jiu had already fallen down with iron ore, so they lay on the ground together. Lying down in front, a violent thud came from behind, and the stone exploded in the blink of an eye.
Qin Zaixiong was stunned for a long time and said, "What the hell is this?" ”
"Another kind of gunpowder."
"Good stuff."
"No, it's too dangerous, it's hard to put it into practice, and it cost me at least a few hundred dollars to research it, not counting the cost of ore from the state capitals. First, it must be safe to use, and second, it must be low-cost, and the road it takes is more difficult than the opportunity of new textile smelting for copper smelting. However, if you want to study it in the future, you will have a direction. Not only these things, but also other new things. It's all tested here. ”
More than two dozen chieftains were still as earth-colored as the earth. That's probably what Zhao Kuangyin wants. However, the reaction of the small stall vendor in the distance is very normal, Song Jiu will make a big movement in front of the test laboratory from time to time, and after seeing too much, the reaction is also normal, at most when setting up a stall, it is far away from the test test laboratory, and it is absolutely impossible to get close to it.
Song Jiu said: "These techniques are too complicated, let's go to the eastern half of Hezhou to have a look." ”
More than 20 people quickly galloped to the east, and they could actually see it from a distance, but when they got closer, including Pan Mei, they were dumbfounded and stunned: "How did these houses be built?" ”
"Cement reinforced concrete. With it, taller and stronger houses can be built. In order to produce a variety of novel shapes, the outside is installed with glass. So it looks gorgeous. The actual cost is not as high as the cost of the palace hall. The money is spent not only on the exterior building, but also on the interior decoration. It's getting late, I'll take you to Shundian for dinner. ”
Before entering the Shun store, more than 20 people were dumbfounded again, those fruits were good-looking, but they were too expensive. The more expensive ones are in the Shun shop, the service is thoughtful and considerate, serving drinks and fruits, and then ordering food. The maid listened to Song Jiu shouting General Pan. The attitude is so respectful, I know that Song Jiu's father-in-law is here, this is also the rule, how many dishes to order, what kind of platter. I went up to the private room on the third floor again, and the approximate number came out, so I brought up the fruit platter first. It's a gorgeous platter, and this store also has it, but it's not as gorgeous and luxurious as the Shun store.
A brute wants to eat. Song Jiu said: "Don't worry, this is what you see, you can only eat after eating." But most people won't eat it. ”
"Why don't you eat it?"
"It's free, it's for decoration."
"That's fine."
"Sizhen. Don't do it, you look at the price of the dish, it's even better. Qin Zaixiong slapped him. Two tables, Pan Mei is also looking at the menu. But the more you look at it, the less it tastes. Shun shop from the outside to the inside, from the service to the tableware. Even the chairs under the buttocks, the cabaret on the dance floor, seem to be in heaven, but the price is also in heaven.
"Brother Qin, Shundian is selling an expensive word. You order the food first, and before the food comes up, I'll take you to the kitchen for a tour. ”
"Brother, if it's expensive, you can still have a business."
"Brother Qin, the more expensive some things sell, the better the business," Song Jiudao, this reason can't be explained clearly for a while, if it is like his previous life, a Victoria's Secret angel's underwear can be sold for millions, it is not to scare everyone stupid. He added: "This is the fact that my dynasty has just recovered, and the economy has not recovered, otherwise it will be more expensive, maybe in ten years, the prices of all the vegetables on it will double." ”
A group of barbarians could not be silent.
They can be regarded as having seen the world, and they are not considered poor, but when they arrived at Shundian, they felt very poor and poor.
After ordering the dishes, Song Jiu still added a few dishes, and even Qin Zaixiong couldn't order it. Song Jiu said, "I'll take you to the kitchen." ”
Not only him, but occasionally the servants also took guests to visit the kitchen, and as long as they visited, they felt that the dishes were so expensive. Pan Mei said: "Xiao Jiu, it's too bad, these are all food." ”
"General Pan, he didn't throw it away, and let the servants take it home and eat it for their families. I told His Majesty that Hezhou is only visited because of the bridge, but it is a bridge in itself, and the money is transferred from the rich people to the state, and the state wants to reduce the taxes of the poor people. I've only eaten a few times since it actually opened. Once it was with the eldest sister and them, the family came to eat. The eldest sister screamed to death. Another time was to promise Lu Zhixian to invite him to come. Another time was a treat for His Majesty, and I ate 1,300 yuan with Zhao Xianggong and several other important ministers. ”
"I've heard of that, too."
"Another time was last winter, and I invited them to come and eat once. That's it. "There was also Pan Li'er who came that time, and this Song Jiu didn't dare to say it.
"Why didn't you say it in your letter?"
"Say what?"
"The food in Shundian is expensive."
"General Pan, in Shundian, it's in Shundian, you are just this daughter, I have money in my hands, why don't you spend money if you have money?"
At this time, Pan Mei can't go back. It took him most of the day to ask, "How many tables are there in your house?" ”
"I really don't know this, there are many villagers in Hezhong Hebei who come to send congratulatory gifts, as well as people from the students' families, and some distant relatives from the hometown of the Daimyofu, although the latter is a distant relative, they can't be lazy when they come from afar. But there are a lot of people in the former, and I plan to hold a banquet in those ordinary wine shops in Hezhou, otherwise Shundian will not be able to accept it. Or many good friends with the Yanei, and colleagues of the three divisions. It's hard to calculate. ”
Especially in the Yanei, half of the Yanai is likely to send Song Jiu's congratulatory gifts to their families, and they will also send congratulatory gifts to the Pan family, which depends on the name thorn, the name thorn is written with the names of the two people, one Lao Tzu and one son, Lao Tzu came over as the Pan family's mother's family, and the son came as Song Jiu's friend. If someone understands and only writes one name, then they can only come over as Pan's family. I can't calculate it now, it must be equal to the day when the dowry is laid, stop receiving congratulatory gifts, and how many tables will be determined.
But there will definitely be no less, the more you do it in Shundian, the more you will have customers. Pan Mei also understands this truth, so he is depressed. Song Jiu comforted: "General Pan, I have enough money in my hands. ”
In fact, there will be a wedding in the future, and Yuping's concubine ceremony is also a wedding banquet in Shundian, but there is still a difference, the same wedding banquet is held in Shundian, the drinks are different, the dishes are different, and the price difference can be several times different. The wedding of the Song and Pan families must be outrageous, and Pan Mei wants to control it, but now it's too late, it has become a wild horse out of the border.
Walking back to his seat, Song Jiu said to Qin Zaixiong again: "Tomorrow, I will send a supervisor over and take you to take a look around to see what specialties there are in Chenzhou, how much it costs in Chenzhou, how much it is estimated to sell in the capital, and how much profit can be made by deducting the road expenses." These stores will expire after three years, and some stores will be eliminated. I'll take down a shop for you and bring all the specialties from the vicinity of Chenzhou to the capital. Then the goods needed by Chenzhou will be transported back. Then in a few years, Chenzhou will be even richer. ”
"Okay," Qin Zaixiong was not polite, brother, this one is busy.
After eating and drinking, Qin Zaixiong went back to the post house first, Pan Mei stayed and continued to talk to Song Jiu, Song Jiu suddenly asked: "General Pan, are you Zhao Puxiang's person?" (To be continued......)
