Steward Xuan was majestic and high-spirited, carrying 300,000 taels of silver in his arms, and walked towards the prosperous land of Jinling.

But in a month and a half, two pieces of news came.

The first piece of news was that he bought half of Jinling's street.

Steward Xuan wrote in the letter: "Jinling is not like Daqing City, although it is rich, but the shops in the city are very chaotic, a handful in the east and a handful in the west.

Although the location of several shops in the Three Princes' Mansion is close to the city, there are few people, so the rent is very small.

The same is true of the shops around us.

I bought the shops around me at a low price, and demolished two more shops to connect the half of the street with the main street.

I plan to open the rouge shop, essential oil shop, pastry shop, ready-to-wear shop, jewellery shop, and restaurant shop on the same day and at the same time.

Taking this as an opportunity, we will definitely be able to become an instant hit in Jinling City......"

Zhao Sichen understood at a glance.

Although Jinling has a good business atmosphere, it is not systematic.

After Steward Xuan went, he chose a good location in Jinling City, and after buying half of the street shop-

Artificially create a business district.

In addition, the traffic will be improved so that the flow of people can flow smoothly to this shopping street.

If it is successful, it will be able to create a commercial street like Daqing Chengxi Street.

Rao is Zhao Sichen, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Steward Xuan is indeed a talent." ”

In another letter from Steward Xuan, there was another piece of good news: "The Xu family, a ham merchant in Jinling, has gone out of business.

I lured the Xu family before and bought the ham raw materials at a high price.

He also ruined the order under the pretext that he would no longer make dishes that used ham as an ingredient.

The ham production period is long, and the Xu family has pressed a lot of money for this batch of goods.

Because of the large number of orders from the Zhao family, the Xu family pushed off the business of other customers.

Now in the middle of summer, Xu's ham can't be sold, and it will soon rot in the warehouse......

The Xu family was going to the yamen to sue us.

But as soon as the deed was taken out, our approach was beyond reproach and liquidated damages had been paid.

I heard that the Xu family is already selling their house and shop and is planning to move to the countryside......"

After reading the letter, Zhao Sichen silently folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and called a maid: "Send this letter to the essential oil workshop on the outskirts of the city and hand it to Sister Mandarin Duck." ”

The torture suffered by the mandarin duck has been repaid by the Xu couple.

Mandarin ducks can rest assured and happily marry to the Tian family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sichen's chest exhaled a breath of turbidity.

In the past month and a half, Zhao Sichen has been very bored.

On the one hand, the three shops of the Zhao family were constantly harassed by the Lelin Hou Mansion.

From the side of the dining house, from time to time someone is looking for trouble.

Either excuse the poor food or return the money and apologize.

Either a private room was booked, and then suddenly canceled.

Either you need to make a dish with ingredients that are extremely difficult to find.

For all of the above, Zhao Sichen only gave Yunbi one word: "forbearance".

Although the harassment continued, the people who went to the Lili dining house were all people with heads and faces.

Even if these young ladies were dizzy for a while, they were naughty with the Lelin Hou Mansion.

If their families knew about it, they would have been strictly controlled.

It's all face-saving people.

This trick-or-treating didn't last long.

Besides, those petty tactics can't shake the foundation of the dining house.

And the two shops of the Zhao family on West Street also encountered all kinds of people looking for trouble.

I didn't dare to make a fuss this time-

I heard that there were two lives last time, and the young lady of the Lelin Hou Mansion cried at home for several days-

However, there is still constant harassment.

Or block the door at the gate, saying that you have eaten pastries and have diarrhea.

Or the errand boy who crashes into the food delivery box on the street.

Either spread rumors that there is a problem with the Zhao family's pastries.

Zhao Sichen did not back down from all this.

I must have sued the yamen every time.

Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang basically have to run to the yamen every day.

Not only did Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang feel troublesome, but there was also another person who complained bitterly.

Li Yuanbu.

Li Yuanbu as Daqing City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

If the enemy is coming, they have their own soldiers and horses to deal with it.

If the emperor's relatives make trouble, Dali Temple will take over.

If it is a matter in the palace, the palace guards and the internal affairs office will naturally come forward.

In addition, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, under the roots of the imperial city, all kinds of big thieves and thieves naturally walked around.

Therefore, he, Jing Zhaoyin, is in charge of a huge Daqing City, but he does not have many affairs.

Only then will there be time to make friends.

Unexpectedly, in the past month and a half, the eldest lady of the Zhao family has come to Yamen every day.

Either she said goodbye, or others sued her.

It's just a little thing, it's all the size of a sesame mung bean.

Every time he made trouble in front of Li Yuanbu, no matter what Li Yuanbu judged, Zhao Sichen gladly accepted it.

To pay a fine, she paid on the spot.

If the Zhao family's guys have a few boards, and the people haven't returned home yet, the medical expenses of the Zhao family's shop have been sent to the guys' families.

Zhao Sichen is happy, but the other party is not happy!

always have to pull Li Yuanbu to break a few points and shout a few words, "The adults are wronged!" ”

If it was a flat-headed small people, Li Yuanbu would have let the officials fork out.

But these messy people in front of him look inconspicuous, but for the people behind them, Li Yuanbu is clear in his heart.

Originally, I thought that the Zhao family and the Lelin Hou Mansion would have a quarrel for ten days and half a month.

Unexpectedly, day after day passed.

It's been more than a month, and it hasn't stopped.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer......

Li Yuanbu finally couldn't hold it back, and one night, he quietly came to the Lelin Hou Mansion-

Having said that, in addition to the many harassments in the Lelin Hou Mansion, there is another thing that makes Zhao Sichen very unhappy-

She had to stay on Chengxi Street every day to take care of her business.

Although there are not many things that she needs to deal with, she has to guard the store every day, which is simply boring for Zhao Sichen, who loves freedom.

……

……

Fortunately, on this day, Li Youcai returned.

Li Youcai hurriedly entered the inner room, didn't bother to salute Zhao Sichen, and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, so he hurriedly shouted: "Miss, you sent us to the Western Regions to find cotton seeds, and we found them!" “

Zhao Sichen's eyes lit up: "Really?!" ”

"Really!" Li Youcai nodded heavily: "Before I came back, I used the only silver left on my body to lease 300 acres of land, hired local farmers, and helped me plant it!" ”

The Wei state is the most powerful state today.

Most of the people's clothing is woven with hearse linen.

Some wealthy merchants, or people like the royal family of Wei, were able to obtain some fine cotton, which was also woven from fine cotton cloth and worn as underwear.

Fine cotton is mostly wild cotton trees that grow in the wild, and the yield is very small.

To produce cotton, it depends on luck.

Therefore, Zhao Sichen sent Li Youcai to the Western Regions and other places early to find cotton trees planted in patches.

Li Youcai said with a smile: "I was looking everywhere in the Western Regions, and at first I was like a headless fly, I spent a lot of money, but I didn't find it. ”

"Later, I had a more mindful eye, and went to the cloth shop to ask, if there are many muslin stores, I asked where there are many weaving, step by step, and finally asked the source......

Li Youcai was covered in sweat, and there was an excited smile on his face: "Sure enough, I found a large cotton field." ”

Zhao Sichen asked, "What is the yield of that cotton field?" Can we buy it? ”

Li Youcai said with a smile: "Don't worry about the eldest lady, I have already sent someone to talk."

Also, I want to buy more land around the cotton field......"

Zhao Sichen nodded without hesitation: "I will allocate another 10,000 taels of silver to you." “

Li Youcai smiled: "I guess it's not difficult."

Although the cotton in the Western Regions is good, the local people are poor, and few people can afford to wear clothes made of muslin.

If the cotton is really planted in the future, it will have to be brought back to Daqing City. “

"It's nature." Zhao Sichen agreed with Li Youcai's words: "If we want to sell good things, we should naturally do business in places where there are many rich people."

In the future, we will sell to Daqing City, Jinling, Jiangnan ......"

Li Youcai said with a smile: "I don't know much about doing business, but I know that if you follow the eldest lady, you will have a good life." “

Zhao Sichen heard this, but he was not modest: "Since I can make money, you brothers, I naturally want to take you to live a good life together." “

The good news brought back by Li Youcai made Zhao Sichen reinvigorated.

She immediately asked the guys in the store on Chengxi Street to help her do two things.

The first thing is to find a few embroidery girls-

It must be skillful, weaving and embroidering on weekdays, and having its own ideas.

If there is a noble person who has praised it before, it would be great.

Another thing is to find Dolma.

It's time to think about how to sell milk tea.
