Chapter 623: A Great Success
This newly famous Liangzhou silk cloth is her other child for Chunzhi, and she cares a lot about it.
Therefore, now that she had just discovered a little sign, she immediately pulled Princess Liang and Chunya to discuss it together. The three of them stayed up together for two whole nights before they finally came up with a set of regulations, and then handed them over to King Liang to find someone to copy tens of thousands of copies and paste them in the streets and alleys of Liangzhou City.
Moreover, they not only put up notices, but also sent special personnel to stand by the notices in various crowded areas of the city, reciting the words on the notices aloud over and over again, making sure that everyone knew about it as soon as possible—especially the merchants who came and went.
It's just that this incident also caused an uproar among the people.
"Why? His Royal Highness King Liang and the princess of the northern kingdom have made so much money by planting trees and weaving cloth in the past few years, but now, we just want to pick up the bits and pieces that they are not willing to eat and eat two bites, but they are not allowed to do it, and they also require us to get their consent? ”
"Isn't it? His Royal Highness King Liang even built a large courtyard on the edge of Yizhichun, which was empty, and it was said that it was specially prepared for cloth sellers. In the future, all the Liangzhou cotton and silk cloth that was intended to be sold could only be sold there. Moreover, His Royal Highness King Liang also set a maximum and lowest price for the cloth, and no one is allowed to sell it indiscriminately! ”
"Also, it is said that as long as the cloth is sold outside, each horse must first be inspected by someone sent by King Liang, and a certificate will be issued after confirming that the quality is reliable. The cloth is sold to the merchants, and the vouchers must also be transferred to the merchants to determine that it is the authentic Liangzhou cloth. If not, Liangzhou will not admit it, and if the merchants suffer a loss and turn back, don't come to Liangzhou to settle accounts, everything is their own greed! ”
……
The content of the notice has been read and then explained by others, and it has become an easy-to-understand vernacular.
But for such a mandatory requirement of King Liang, many people are dissatisfied, feeling that King Liang's move is simply not to let the people make money. After all, when they go into the yard to sell cloth, they also have to take a cut of each horse!
"That's a big deal, we won't sell it! Don't take them to bully people like that! When someone first heard about it, they were so angry that they scolded directly.
But after someone calculated an account, he said: "However, according to the price set by Liang Wangfu, even if they draw every piece of cloth, we still make money after calculating it." What's more, if it is really as they said, our things are clearly marked with prices, and they are also sold by the hands of Liang Wangfu, does that mean that we will rely on Liang Wangfu behind us in the future? So, if you really encounter any problems, Liang Wangfu will also help solve them, isn't that the truth? ”
"You can't help but think things too well!" When the others heard this, they all sneered.
"But now, His Royal Highness King Liang has already given the order, and he has also sent people to patrol everywhere, and the people are not allowed to sell cloth privately. Once discovered, severe punishment will not be granted. We have no other way but to listen to him obediently! Someone else said.
"Who's to say no? As long as we ignore him. Isn't it just that you can't sell cloth now? Then don't sell it yet, save up the cloth, and go back and wait for the limelight to pass before selling, that's okay! You don't know how popular our Liangzhou fabrics are in the south now, and the price of these fabrics will be higher and higher in the future! We don't lose anything if we save it! ”
"That's it! Then my family won't sell it first! ”
……
These market words, naturally, did not escape the ears that King Liang quietly inserted, and they were soon brought back to Chunzhi and Princess Liang.
After Princess Liang heard this, she was so angry that she scolded: "These people really treat people's kindness as donkey liver and lungs!" We have worked so hard for all these years, and it is easy to start the name of Liangzhou cloth, and this good name is not for them to abuse! Moreover, our painstaking arrangements are both out of people and out of the venue, but only half of them are pumped by a piece of cloth, this is just a meaning, okay? They still don't appreciate it! ”
"Okay, most of the Shengdou Xiaomin can't see long-term, and their eyes have always been staring at only one acre and three points of land in front of them. You are the one who wants to do great things, so why should you be like them? Chunzhi hurriedly reassured her, "Besides, don't look at those people screaming loudly, but they are only a small number of people." Most of the people can't afford to eat, so how can they have the ability to save the woven cloth and not sell it? Their family still hasn't eaten? ”
Princess Liang blinked. "Auntie, you mean ......"
Spring branch jaw head. "When a new thing comes out, it must cause people to discuss, and outsiders don't understand it, most of them are singing about it. At the beginning, I learned embroidery with my mother-in-law, and then I began to want to embroider kittens as patterns, my mother-in-law was not very optimistic about me, and always scolded me for not doing my job. But in the end, when my things were sold well, and one party could buy ten or twenty times the flower and grass cloth she had before, she was silent. ”
As she spoke, she patted the back of Princess Liang's hand again. "So, you don't have to take outsiders' remarks too seriously. As long as we firmly believe that we are right, then we will work hard to make results and slap them in the face with facts, isn't that more pleasant than sulking here now? ”
Princess Liang also sighed. "Auntie, you're right, I'm too petty."
"You're not a little kid, it's just that you haven't greeted the ordinary people below, and you don't understand the way they think about problems, so you're angry. But I grew up in that place, and at one time, I was just like what they thought. That's why I know what they're thinking. Harukeda smiled and said, "But in the future, you will have a long time to deal with them!" As you get used to it, you know there's nothing to be angry about. Most of these people are still simple and lovely. When they know that you are wholeheartedly for their good, they will also be grateful to you, and they will obediently obey whatever you say in the future. ”
Princess Liang nodded. "I see, I'm not angry."
Harukeda smiled and nodded again.
Immediately afterwards, the development of things was indeed exactly what Haruka expected-
Although after King Liang's notice was released, the people complained and were very dissatisfied. However, after all, everyone has to provide for their families. Since those merchants came to Liangzhou to buy cloth, they naturally hoped to buy good cloth and make a lot of money. If they can now buy officially approved cloth to go back, then they can feel more at ease.
Therefore, after the trading yard next to Yizhichun was cleaned up and officially opened, more than a dozen families still went in to set up stalls with their own cloths.
At this time, the merchants have also come to Liangzhou for half a month. But at the beginning, they quietly purchased a few pieces of cloth from the people, and the quantity was far from the requirements. Seeing that it would cost money to eat and live here, they did not dare to delay more, and many people crowded into the trading hall on the first day of its opening.
In this way, the cloth of the dozen or so families was sold in just half a day. The people paid the commission, and they still had a lot of money in their hands, and when they saw that it was enough for their family to live for a month, they were satisfied.
The other people who had been hesitant to go in and sell cloth were relieved when they saw this. The next day, they also carried their own cloths.
Day 3, Day 4...... More and more people went to the trading yard, and soon the dozens of tables and chairs inside were occupied.
In the end, because there are always people in the trading yard to maintain order, and there are special people on the side of each shop, it is not allowed to deliberately compare and sell and lower the price, so even if the number of fabrics is increasing day by day, the price of everyone selling does not fluctuate much. This means that the people have nothing to lose.
For the merchants, every piece of cloth that could be put on the table for sale had been personally inspected by the weavers of Yizhichun, and the poor-quality cloth had been beaten down before it was put on the table. What they buy can be sure that it is a good product, so even if they can't keep the price down, at least the quality is guaranteed, and they are satisfied.
In this way, as time goes by, there is a constant flow of people in the trading yard every day. Every morning, people come in carts and push cloths, queue up for inspection, and then go in to set up stalls. The merchants who bought the cloth left happily, and the next wave of merchants came to buy.
The popularity of Liangzhou City has skyrocketed.
Then, the people who had complained about the notice issued by King Liang before also quickly changed their tunes, and praised King Liang's family and the princess of the northern kingdom.
King Liang naturally collected these words happily to tell Princess Liang.
Princess Liang finally showed a bright smile on her face again.
"Auntie, you are really like a god!" She gave a thumbs up to the spring branch.
"That's also thanks to your willingness to spend money, your willingness to bother, and not to be perfunctory. This happy ending is the result of the hard work of all of us. Harueda smiled.
"And in this case, then we can move on to the next step with confidence."
