Chapter 33: The Beginning

Song Jiu was not slow to react, and immediately explained: "Jade Lady, you are wrong, I plan to open a main store, and I want to ask Jade Lady to help, but I heard that some people will make money on the first day of the trip, if that is the case, I can't afford it." So ask. By the way, let's learn about the consumption of the upper class in the capital, so that there is a comparison. ”

Song Jiu really didn't know much. He didn't know the small historical details before, and even if the generals such as Luo Yanhuan and Guo Yanbin hadn't come to the capital of the Song Dynasty, he wouldn't have known the way. It can not be regarded as historical blindness, in the previous life, he went out to travel, and he passed the time on the road and read some overhead novels, plus he had studied history before, and he also knew some things in the history of the road, such as the later Fan Lou, ordinary consumption in a few hundred taels of silver, silver was very expensive at that time, one or two floated between 1,500 and 3,000 Wen, and now there are more than 20 stores in the capital, and Fan Lou has not yet appeared. Ren Dian is looking forward to it, a large group of people spent yesterday, plus a few prostitutes to sing and dance, it cost more than 300 yuan. Pan Weide bought the order, and Pan Weide is still shouting expensive.

It's certainly not those fiction novels that are mistaken, and consumption is cheap at about this time.

"Let the slave help?"

"yes."

"Why do you want the slaves to help?"

"There will be prostitutes in this store," Song Jiu was afraid that she would misunderstand again, and explained: "It's all Qing people, let them perform, not sell their bodies, and at the same time, I used to live in the river, where the slums, I don't understand the etiquette, needs and consumption of the nobles, and the people I know don't understand either. ”

Yuping turned her face into a smile, and finally understood that Song Jiu was going to open a store and wanted to hire her as the boss's wife. This is a good profession, and she started to worry again: "Jiulang, it takes a lot of capital to open a main store, and at the same time, there must be good dishes and other configurations, such as tableware made of silver and ivory, and the restaurant must be magnificent and the location must be good, so that people can recognize it as a main store." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I just want to ask you how much you have to pay you if you are called once, don't get me wrong, this is something you must understand."

"It depends on the fact that some guests will generously reward one or two hundred yuan, and even give jewelry worth hundreds of yuan to the slave family, but they are stingy and give more than a dozen yuan, and several yuan are available. Some guests are rude and move their hands and feet, which often makes everyone unhappy. made trouble once and twice, and after the worst reputation, no one dared to invite you, and your value fell. If you don't make trouble, the taste of grievances and seeking satisfaction is not comfortable. Why did the slave family let Cui'er look for you as soon as they heard your order, although it was not good to do so, it was also helpless, not too aggrieved, and gained a reputation, who wouldn't want to? This line of food, Jiulang, is not as beautiful as you think, and the slave family doesn't want to eat it. ”

Song Jiu sighed, and finally understood what kind of handsome old guy Liu Yong was popular, although it was posted upside down, Liu Yong composed words for them, which was the three words of fame!

"Jiulang doesn't dislike the slave family?"

Song Jiu didn't dislike it, like him, even if he had a Jiupin loose official, he was not qualified to dislike Yuping. Even as long as he reaches the level of Yuping's "turbidity person", he is not qualified. However, she had something to say, so she didn't answer, and said, "Jade Lady, how much income can you earn in a year?" ”

"It's not easy to say, if you can have an income of three or four thousand yuan a year, if you can't get two thousand yuan, there is also the rent of this yard, the food and clothing of my mother and Cui'er and the slave family, the fruit and tea for entertaining guests, and the fat powder that is usually prepared, and I can't store much money, but I can get some valuable jewelry. But the red face is easy to grow old, and the slave family is twenty years old this year......"

Song Jiu is not easy to answer this question, the people of the Song Dynasty married early, and they were used to the opposite of the Tang people, they liked to be thin and not fat, and even liked Lori, in fact, according to scientific opinions, the most golden moment for a woman is at the age of twenty-nine, if you meet some demons, you are in your forties, and she is dressed up like a little girl. At the age of twenty, she can only be regarded as a little girl in the next life. But that's not the point......

"Jade Lady, how much are these jewelry worth?"

"Jiulang, you asked so clearly, you want to cheat my lady out of money?" Cui'er said.

"Cui'er, no matter how much I love money, I won't go to eat soft rice, Jade Lady, farewell."

"Don't worry, what do you mean by eating soft rice?"

"A man who depends on a woman to support him is called to eat soft rice."

"The slave family promises you."

"Then thank you, I won't let you down in the future," Song Jiudao, still didn't know how much money Yuping could make a year, but today she definitely couldn't ask, she asked her how much money she earned, she said Do you dislike me, I'm twenty years old, can this be said okay? Yuping looks good, but she agreed, can the little lady of the Pan family be her concubine in the future? Even if she is replaced by Yuping, it is impossible to be a concubine. If you choose one of the two, you can only give up Yuping.

Walking to Panlou Street, there are all luxury stores of the Song Dynasty nearby, and Song Jiu doesn't buy them, just watching them one by one.

After watching it for a long time, I did the second serious thing, inviting the painter.

Song Jiu's physicism, arithmetic is a trail, accounting, practicality, unified weights and measures, is also a trail, and even almost became a side door crooked road, strange skills and tricks, words are also a trail, painting is even more, although the Song Dynasty set up a painting academy, but has not paid too much attention to it, until Song Renzong, who loves literature and art, began to slowly promote some famous painters as low-level officials, painter Zhao Ji is not counted, including many famous painters, Fan Kuan, Guo Cheng have been reduced to the people all their lives, depressed.

But there are many painters, some of them paint portraits and screens for dignitaries and nobles, and some specialize in selling paintings for a living, and even the great painter Xu Daoning uses paintings to attract tourists to sell dog skin plasters, buy a piece of his dog skin plaster, and give him a painting, and a painting of hundreds of thousands of yuan in later generations is now only worth a dog skin plaster.

Therefore, Xu Jiu paid a price of 200 yuan a day, and immediately found seven or eight painters, and looking at their paintings, they could not be compared with Guo Cheng and other great painters, but they were not bad, and they could be called second-rate painters. Otherwise, so many people chose again, and four of them were selected and brought home. When I got home, it was almost the time of Shen, and the sun was gradually turning west.

The door was still open as before, and it was still very lively inside, but it would not be for long, and once the academy was established, it could no longer be unkempt like this. However, more than a dozen guests came to his house, three sisters, and a few strangers, as well as Gonggong Liu and a guard.

Seeing Song Jiu coming back, he stepped forward one by one.

Father-in-law Liu knows, the three sisters must know, those people don't know, Song Jiuhu looked at them suspiciously. When you start to introduce yourself, you are all from the shopkeeper or steward of various businesses. Song Jiu understood their intentions without asking.

Song Jiu wants the students to compete, not only for this gamble, but also for the future of the students.

It is impossible for him to know all the things in history, and he knows some about the major events, such as the treatment of corrupt officials, the Ming Dynasty was very strict, and after cutting off the head, he peeled the skin to make a drum and drum, and the Tang and Song dynasties were also very strict, but they were not so brutal, but they were condemned as private crimes. A public crime is a mistake of ability, and this crime can be hired later. A private crime is corruption, and as long as it is a private crime, it will not be hired in the future.

For example, Gao Xi received Guo Chong's money, only a little bit related to corruption, Guo Chong himself was one of the founding generals of the Song Dynasty, but he just sent some gifts and wanted to ask Gao Xi to say a few good words, Gao Xi was sad, who is Gao Xi? Zhao Kuangyin's cronies, private secretary!

There are various reasons for this, such as the insatiable greed of officials, the protection of officials and officials, and the confusion of accounts, which gives officials an opportunity to take advantage of them. The most obvious is that Song Renzong fought in the northwest for several years, and he was in a hurry to prepare for war, and the treasury had no money, so he had to recollect the people. In fact, the two taxes have only increased by 10 million, which is equivalent to 4 million yuan at most, the commercial tax has increased by 12 million yuan, and the various franchises have increased by several million. This is the credit of the officials, who collect 10 million at the top, and at least 30 million or 40 million at the bottom.

Therefore, Song Jiu intends to let the students shine.

If Song Jiu's original idea was to let the students learn their skills well, they can protect themselves and be the master of the bookkeeping office, and now it can be better, and if Zhao Kuangyin can take a fancy to them and let them serve as the bookkeepers of various states and counties, wouldn't it be more promising?

I don't know what Zhao Kuangyin thinks, but yesterday's big competition, those ten stores may not be happy, but this incident has more or less caused some sensation. Not only the country, but also some large merchant industries, upstream workshops or production areas, the middle of the road cost loss, to the downstream stores for sale. These accounts are complex, and if they are calculated using the current method of accounting and single-entry accounting, and the method of closing the accounts by this column, it will not only be confusing, but also cause serious errors. Even to put it mildly, even the servants of Zhao Pu's family will take the opportunity to be greedy for Zhao Pu's deserving.

It doesn't matter if the small shop hears about it, if the big shop hears about it, the ignorant people will laugh at him, and the sensible people will know the meaning of the Tao, so these people came. In the past, people didn't know the way, but now they know the way, just like Bai Juyi's poem, the Yang family has a woman who has just grown up, and she is raised in the deep boudoir. It is difficult to give up the natural beauty, and once chose the king's side. Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. There will be more and more people in the future!

The guests were divided into primary and secondary orders, and Song Jiu said to them: "Please wait a minute. ”

You have to greet Gonggong Liu first, he is doing things for the emperor.

Gonggong Liu said: "Jiulang, let's talk later." ”

"Okay."

Gonggong Liu carried a small brocade box, followed Song Jiu to the back room, and Gonggong Liu opened the brocade box, which contained three ingots of gold. Said: "This is one hundred and fifty taels of gold given to you by the emperor." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Jiu was overjoyed, the silver in the early Song Dynasty was still very cheap, one or two pieces of silver was only equivalent to 800 to 1,200 Wen, and later it was given to the Khitan and Western Xia for many years, so it became more and more expensive, rising to 2,000 Wen and 3,000 Wen. Gold is also expensive, now one or two is equivalent to 10,000 Wen, but after the Southern Tang Dynasty, the price of gold fell, once fell to 5,000 Wen, and then commerce and trade developed, copper money to Khitan, Western Xia, Goryeo, Wa State circulation, copper money is not enough, gold is to the food circulation, plus folk jewelry needs a lot of gold, gold prices rose again crazy, the highest rose to 40,000 Wen. From a financial point of view, if there is no reliable investment, if there is gold now, it will be sold for silver and collected.

Song Jiu doesn't know how to collect, there are many places to use money immediately, and this one hundred and fifty taels of gold, if it is cashed in the cash cabinet, it can at least cash out more than 1,400 yuan.

Gonggong Liu smiled.

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi heard all about yesterday's incident, and they couldn't understand it, Song Jiu's money? However, he also heard about him eating wine with several second ancestors, and brought them to that river island to see, and it is very likely that he will make an idea from them, and the white wolf with empty gloves. But how much can it cost? Twenty or thirty thousand will reach the sky, and it is this twenty or thirty thousand that wants to be set out, and it is also very brain-consuming. As long as the white wolf with empty gloves can afford it, it will not break the law in this era. But you can know a little bit about it, this is the principal. How to play more than 4 million guan, I still don't understand. So Zhao Kuangyin simply gave one hundred and fifty taels of gold, which was the icing on the cake and sent Song Jiuyi horse.

Gonggong Liu said again: "Your Majesty also asked the Sprinkle family to bring you a word, the January period is coming, your three questions have stumped many people, and the face of the court is not very good." Why don't you tell Dr. Zhang the answer, and he will tell Dr. Zhang that he won't ask you for a reward of 500 silks. It will also help you get on a better rapport. ”

"Fake?"

"It's called flexibility, why fake?"

"Is that okay?"
