Zhao Zheng arranged the people for inspection, glanced at the crowded and noisy team because he was going to be divided into six teams for inspection, and immediately called a servant and said: "You, take a gong and enter the city, go to the place where inns and restaurants gather and shout, and say that nearly 10,000 people have come to Beijing today, all of them are business travelers." ”

He said, "Go on horseback." ”

The official received the order and immediately rode back to the city on Zhao Zheng's horse.

Zhao Hu didn't know that Zhao Song was here today, and he was having dinner with people in the Zhenyu Mansion at this time.

He plans to hire a designer to help design the five houses he will build.

Yes, although he has not yet bought the Wang family's piece of land, he still regarded the land as something in his pocket and asked someone to design it.

This designer is called Pei Xian, now a Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Industry, and concurrently a doctor of Taixue, from Hedong Pei, he has some opinions on house architecture and mountain and forest layout, but his reputation is not obvious.

He is a Confucian student, is he a human being...... In Zhao Hu's words, it is very difficult to explain.

He was sleek, but not sleek.

It is said that he is sleek because he is never proud of his family background, he is a humble and self-strict person, and he is very polite to everyone; Let's say that he is not tactful, because he rarely speaks, and even when something is asked in front of him, he often does not express his opinions and opinions.

Although Zhao Hu is Zhao Hanzhang's uncle and grandfather, in fact, there are few people in the family who are willing to make friends with him, and those who befriend him are either old men like him, or people who ask for something.

Pei Xian is neither a gentleman nor does he ask for anything from Zhao Hu, but he is very polite whenever he sees him, so Zhao Hu occasionally likes to drink with him.

It's just that eating wine with him is too boring, if he doesn't have something to ask him this time, Zhao Hu doesn't want to invite him to drink.

"The garden in Jing Si's house was arranged by yourself?"

Pei Xianying said, "Yes, it's just a small change." ”

"It's well arranged, I know that Jing Si has my own opinions on the structure of the house and the layout of the garden, so I would like to ask Jing Si to help me draw a few pictures."

Pei Xian hesitated when he heard this, he knew that someone had recently gone to buy the burned house, Zhao Hanzhang mentioned to him, and asked him to be careful when approving the construction of houses recently, and the regulations of the houses built in that area should not be too low, and he also wanted to pay attention to the prices and sources of various building materials in Luoyang City......

Seriously, it was the first time for Pei Xian to do such a job, and the things were very trivial, he felt that the work of Taixue was more enjoyable, and he especially wanted to resign from the position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Industry and concentrate on being a doctor of Taixue.

But his wife wouldn't allow it.

Now Zhao Hu asked him to draw a picture again, Pei Xian...... I don't really want to draw.

can eat people with soft mouths, coupled with Zhao Hu's sincerity, and flattering him for a long time, in the end, Pei Xian couldn't help but agree.

Zhao Hu was happy, and with a wave of his big hand, he was going to invite someone to come over to play music, and suddenly heard the sound of the bell below, he couldn't help but turn his head to look down, and saw a servant standing on the street with a gong and knocking it deadly, and then shouted loudly: "Today, there are nearly 10,000 business travelers from Yuzhou into the city, and anyone who is interested can go to the city gate to solicit business. ”

He shouted twice, then walked away with the gong and struck again at the next street entrance.

After Zhao Hu listened, he couldn't sit still anymore, and he couldn't care about calling the servants, and Pei Xian said a word, he immediately went out to find the shopkeeper and the steward, "Hurry up and let people steam rice, pull noodles, and send people to the city gate to see, Yuzhou came, tens of thousands of people, must have followed our Zhao family's army, otherwise so many fat sheep, they have been slaughtered several times on the road, you immediately bring the money to the city gate, see if there are any familiar people, look at the goods they brought, there are beautiful satin cloths, and all the porcelain, and buy all the right prices." ”

Zhao Hu: "Remember, the agreed price is given first, and the settlement is not completely settled. ”

Luoyang City is now very short of things, and as more and more people come in, commodities, especially luxury living materials, cannot be supplied at all.

Now Luoyang City has to grab even a fine linen, let alone a good cloth like silk.

Thinking that the sky had begun to turn cold, Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "There are also fur felts, pick up important things and ask, how many we want, take out the courage of our Zhao family, and grab the things first." ”

He can guarantee that after getting the goods, he can sell them quickly, and the funds will be settled after the funds are quickly returned, and he can make a lot of money by going in and out, and then he will buy land and build a house, and sell it to them at a high price after it is built......

The more Zhao Hu's eyes thought about it, the happier he became, and his eyes seemed to be full of brilliance for the stewards to hurry up.

Zhen Yu Lou is a combination of a high-end restaurant and an inn, of course, he also has to take into account the customers on the next floor, coincidentally, Zhao Hu was bought a lot of shops by Zhao Hanzhang two years ago, in addition to Zhen Yu Lou, he also has another inn and restaurant.

He sent them to the treasurers of the two families, and they got ready together, and then went to the gate of the city to solicit customers.

The proprietors and shopkeepers of the other shops were not stupid, and the officials all shouted like this, although they were reserved and wanted to wait for customers in the store, but they couldn't sit still when they saw that someone from the shop next door seemed to be heading towards the city gate.

So the proprietors sent people to the city gate to solicit guests, and they themselves sat in the store and let people prepare the meals.

If the vegetables are not enough, you should immediately go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and rice...... If there are really tens of thousands of business travelers pouring in, this rice will consume too much, and it will indeed have to be added a little......

So the procurement was also divided into two ways, one way to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, all the way to buy rice and noodles and other things.

There are several streets in Luoyang that specialize in selling vegetables, distributed in all directions, which were specially arranged by Zhao Kuan in accordance with Zhao Hanzhang's intention when he was appointed as the county commander of Luoyang.

Just under the corner of the street, a grid is drawn, except for a few meat stalls that are fixed stalls, the other stalls are all chosen by early arrivals.

Zhao Hanzhang ordered that stalls selling vegetables and agricultural and sideline products do not charge booth fees and taxes, so people inside and outside Luoyang, as long as they have vegetables and chickens at home, can be sold in the city.

The fixed stall meat stall also only charges a very low rent, but the meat stall has strict requirements, needs to ensure the quality of the meat, and regularly reports to the county government what they know about the meat and poultry breeding information of each village and household.

These butchers need to walk the streets and alleys, go up the mountains and go to the countryside to buy meat and poultry, and they all know exactly who has a few chickens, a few pigs, and a few sheep, and they know more than Li Zheng.

Zhao Kuan arranged the number of piglets and chicks sent to each village every year according to this information, of course, these things are now in Zhao Erlang's charge.

Now the weather is cold, the vegetables in the field are reduced, but there are still a lot of people who pick vegetables and vegetables into the city to sell every day, but they are not easy to sell as always, seeing that the sun is getting higher and higher, the vegetable farmers are trying to lower the price of vegetables to sell, and they see many people coming in at the street, they immediately cheer up, shouting and selling, "cabbage, cabbage, fresh cabbage......"

"Mustard greens, mustard greens, fresh mustard greens......"

The purchasing manager who came didn't look at it, and pointed all the way through, "Weigh, weigh, I took ......"

Before the words fell, someone walked over quickly behind and said, "I took this mustard green, how much is a catty?" ”

The vegetable farmer was stunned and quoted, "Two pennies a bundle." ”
