Chapter 47: It's on the shelves tomorrow
Wen Cheng replied quickly, and in the evening, Li Sangrou arrived at Tang's main store before Wen Cheng.
The store is still the Tang family's main store, but the private room is not Gu Xi's.
This private room is also in the backyard, but it is curled up in a corner, small and exquisite.
As soon as Li Sangrou took a look inside and outside of the private room, Wen Cheng arrived.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your time." Li Sangrou greeted Wen Cheng.
"The girl has won the prize." Wen Cheng returned the salute, "The prince is worried that the girl has something important, so he has been urging me to come over quickly." ”
"It's nothing important, I just want to meet Mr. Wen and talk to Mr. Wen." Li Sangrou smiled, "Mr. Wen hasn't eaten yet, has he?" I don't know what Mr. Wen likes to eat, so I didn't dare to order first. ”
"They all know what the girl likes to eat." Wen Cheng was obviously a little restrained and embarrassed.
"Whatever Mr. Wen likes to eat, I will eat." Li Sangrou looked at Wen Cheng's face full of embarrassment and restraint, and said with a smile.
"Pick up Miss Li's favorite food." The embarrassment and discomfort on Wen Cheng's face became even stronger, and he turned his head and ordered the little guy.
Li Sangrou picked up the cup, sipped the tea, and looked at the restrained and embarrassed Wen Cheng with a smile.
"Miss Li came to me and said there was something wrong?" Wen Cheng sat down upright and got down to business.
"I heard that there is a street division in Jianle City?" Li Sangrou leaned back in her chair.
"What's the trouble?" Wen Cheng reacted quickly.
"No, I just heard about it, the first time I heard about the Street Division, it is said that there is a city all over the world, I think it is interesting, I want to ask." Li Sangrou laughed.
"The Street Division was only in the hands of the former emperor.
When the emperor was young, the princes fought fiercely, almost wiped out the country, the Southern Liang army forward, once reached the city of Jianle, to the time when the emperor ascended the throne, the people's livelihood withered, the house in the city of Jianle, at least thirty percent of the empty.
When the first emperor first ascended the throne, in order to benefit the people's livelihood, he was extremely tolerant of things such as shops and small vendors occupying the road, and they were not allowed to disturb.
In the following ten years, Jianle City became more and more lively, and the occupation of the road became more and more serious.
At the most serious time, even the branches on both sides of the royal street were moved to the middle of the royal street, and the emperor went to Jinmingchi to watch the martial arts, and he had to send someone to clear the street several times in advance, so that the car could get by.
In the last few years of the emperor's reign, Jianle City was really congested, and the streets became more and more dirty, and when it rained heavily, the streets were full of sewage.
The emperor ordered Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry at that time to clean up, and Yao Shangshu dispatched 500 soldiers, uniformly wearing green shirts, to check and clean up, and the effect was outstanding.
After that, the five hundred soldiers withdrew, but in half a month, the occupation of the road was as serious as before, and so on several times, the emperor issued an order and set up a street division.
At that time, the Street Division was hung under the name of the Ministry of Industry, and after the emperor ascended the throne, the Street Division was included in Jianle Mansion.
After the second master acted in Jianle Mansion, this street division was hung under the name of the second master, and now, it is in the hands of Shen Dagongzi of Yongping Houfu.
Why did Miss Li think of asking this? ”
"Alas, I also just heard that there is such a street division in Jianle City, and now it seems that there is probably no business that can be done in this Jianle City." Li Sangrou sighed.
Wen Cheng was stunned, "No, what business does Miss Li want to do?" Got a good idea? ”
"No, most of the business that people like us can do is unknown. I'm not afraid of county officials, I'm afraid of being in charge. Li Sangrou sighed again.
Wen Cheng was just about to speak, when the voice of the little servant Baicheng came in, "The prince is here!" ”
Wen Cheng hurriedly stood up and greeted him out.
Li Sangrou stood up slowly, followed behind, and before she reached the door of the private room, Gu Xi had already strode in.
"Big brother is a vegetarian today, I can't eat, it's really boring to eat alone, didn't bother you, right?" Gu Xi smiled and arched his hand at Li Sangrou.
Li Sangrou only smiled and didn't speak, leaning in to let Gu Xi go.
Gu Xi sat down, Li Sangrou still sat down in the position just now, Wen Cheng was busy instructing the little servant to add vegetables, and poured Gu Xi a cup of tea before sitting down again.
"What are you talking about? Leave me alone, you can continue to talk. Gu Xi smiled and gestured to the two.
"Miss Li was just asking about the Street Division." Wen Cheng said with a smile.
"Huh? Is the street division delaying your business? Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What business are you going to do?" Otherwise, I'll talk to the second master tomorrow, take the street division over, and hand it over to Zhihe, anyway, he's idle. ”
Wen Cheng was speechless and looked out the window.
Li Sangrou laughed, waved his hand and said: "No, no, I don't plan to do business in the city, just ask, after all, this street division is only available in Jianle City, it's just strange." ”
"Don't stop doing business in the city because of the street division. It's not a matter of effort for me.
If I take it, the second master and Shen Mingshu will still have to accept my share of favors, and it's not a good errand. Gu Xi explained seriously.
"No, I haven't figured out what business to do yet.
Before doing business, the first thing is to inquire, inquire about this and that.
Other yamen and that yamen, there are other places, I haven't heard of it before, it's this street division, I've heard of it for the first time, so I asked by the way.
In the future, there are still many things to ask for, and it will be about the time when I am annoyed with Mr. Lawnwen. ”
Li Sangrou said, arching his hand to Wencheng.
Wen Cheng subconsciously leaned back in the chair.
"You can find me." Gu Xi leaned forward and said with a smile.
Li Sangrou smiled and nodded.
Seven or eight little guys trotted and sent boxes in, and Ruyi and Baicheng set up a full table.
Li Sangrou didn't eat fish noodles, nor did she eat chrysanthemum fish anymore, she carefully looked at the various dishes on the table, let people serve rice, fried mutton with onions on the plate, and ate two bowls of rice in a row.
"Doesn't the girl like to eat this chrysanthemum fish and fish noodles?" Gu Xi ate a bowl of fish noodles, put down his chopsticks, and couldn't help asking.
"No, this is fresh mutton, a meat market or something, and it won't be open during the New Year. I haven't eaten fresh lamb in a month. Li Sangrou sighed in satisfaction.
"What the girl wants to eat in the future, just let the golden retriever or the dark horse go to me and ask for it, I don't dare to say anything, it's still basically complete." Gu Xi burst out laughing.
Li Sangrou looked at Wen Cheng opposite with a smile and sighed.
Wen Cheng looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "What the prince said, a little food is not worth anything. ”
Li Sangrou nodded and smiled: "Okay!" ”
After a pause, Li Sangrou looked at Gu Xi and asked, "Does the prince know how much mutton costs a catty?" ”
Gu Xi was stunned. Wen Cheng hurriedly replied with a smile: "In the month of Layue, I heard that there are seven hundred texts. ”
"Why is it so expensive?" Gu Xi frowned.
"It's always been so expensive, and now with the words of the son, you can let Dachang eat mutton in the future." Li Sangrou said with a smile.
Wen Cheng laughed.
Gu Xi frowned and said: "I remember the county lieutenant of Zhongxian County, the monthly salary is converted, and it is only more than 6,000 yuan, which is just a few catties of mutton money." Alas, the day before yesterday, I told my eldest brother about the excerpt, and I allowed them. ”
Wen Cheng was stunned, "Which excerpt?" ”
"Officials above the seventh grade borrow the letter from the post post to pass the family letter, don't be limited to the seven grades, the officials are one, and they are allowed to pass it." Gu Xi sighed, "The people's livelihood is difficult, and it is not easy for officials. ”
"Do you want to add money to the messenger?" Li Sangrou followed up and asked.
Gu Xi was stunned by Li Sangrou's question, "The same delivery, what kind of money do you add?" ”
"We are different from Nanliang, the handover is played by the soldiers, and the servants of these soldiers are all according to the rules of the army, there is a fixed number, and they can't be increased or decreased at will, it's not a matter of two people." Wen Cheng hurriedly explained.
"Oh." Li Sangrou let out a long sigh, "If you can deliver family letters at public expense, how many books do you have?" Is a letter to a friend considered a letter to a family? It can't be counted, is it?
How many official documents can an official send in a month? How many letters can you write?
I think that soon, there will be fewer official documents and more family letters. Anyway, you don't have to spend money, just write when you're idle.
Unless you increase the number of posters in the delivery shop, otherwise, the work assigned to everyone will definitely be a lot more, and it may be possible to send it in one trip, but it will have to be two or three trips in the future.
No matter how difficult it is for officials, they are much stronger than these shopkeepers, so what kind of county lieutenant, more than 6,000 yuan a month, is not less, pork must be affordable. It's mutton, and you can eat it three or five times a year.
The three of them, before following me, had never eaten mutton, and they couldn't even get food.
Just like that, the dark horse still looks down on the messenger and the courier.
You are not enough to give. ”
Wen Cheng looked at Gu Xi, who was silent for a moment and sighed.
Wen Cheng's gaze looked at Li Sangrou from Gu Xi, watching Li Sangrou squint and glance at Gu Xi, the corners of her mouth curled up a little, her heart jumped, and a thought suddenly popped up: She can't be calculating something, right?
