Zhao Guangyuan walked around the grocery store in Nanshi, nodding his head while watching, and asked the guy next to him from time to time once or twice.

"Is this grain selling well? Where do you get the goods from? ”

The guy was enthusiastic, "The grain is selling well." Although the price of our house is the same as that of the grain stores, the guys always love to give more than one and a half hundreds, and the people get the benefits, and they always love to run to our house. As for where the goods are purchased......"

The guy replied much more cautiously.

"The small ones are just a guy, who only care about whether the store pays wages on time, and the other owners and shopkeepers worry about it. If the guest is satisfied, we will tell the owner, so that the owner is also happy, and the guest is not satisfied, we will also give feedback to the shopkeeper, and improve next time. ”

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at him and was satisfied, "What's your name?" ”

"The little one's name is Zhang Xiaonan."

Cao Cuo smiled: "Don't you still have a brother named Xiaodong, Xiaoxi and Xiaobei?" ”

"The younger one has a sister but no brother, but there is a younger brother named Zhang Xiaobei."

"You are Zhang Xiaonan." Zhao Guangyuan still had an impression of him, and looked at him again with a smile.

Cao Cuo also reacted, "It turns out that you are Zhang Xiaonan!" ”

He also knows this Xiaonan. Although I haven't seen it, I heard the shopkeeper say it. said that his family lived in Nanshi, and his father was gone, so his grandmother and mother took the family to make some hard-earned money for washing clothes for people.

Every time I come back to the store, I have to buy a lot of laundry detergent and laundry soap. I also figured out the rules, always picked up some cheap laundry detergent laundry soap that was discounted or disposed of in the store in the morning, and gave advice to the store to help improve and upgrade these two products.

Later, when the shopkeeper saw that he was lively, he recruited him as a clerk.

"The nobleman knows the small one?"

Zhang Xiaonan glanced at Zhao Guangyuan suspiciously, and then looked at Cao Cuo who was smiling on the side. I always felt that these two guests were too mysterious, and they would be enthusiastic about a guy like themselves.

Such a small person himself, the nobles have heard of him?

It shouldn't be.

Zhao Guangyuan smiled and did not answer. Cao Cuo was a little enthusiastic about him, and pulled him to ask some customers in the store what goods they like to buy, what goods are best to sell, and so on.

The shopkeeper heard that there were two distinguished customers in the store, and walked out of the backyard.

Seeing Zhao Guangyuan hinting at him with his eyes, he hurriedly swallowed the words in his mouth, and only said: "If you have any needs, let the little one introduce you to the guest." Tea was prepared in the backyard, and guests were invited to move. ”

Zhao Guangyuan followed into the backyard, but Cao Cuo was extremely interested in the goods on the shelves in the store, so he didn't follow, and only let Zhang Xiaonan continue to introduce.

Zhang Xiaonan is a good person, seeing the attitude of the shopkeeper, his heart is also determined, and he is more and more enthusiastic about Cao Cuo, and he is willing to say a few words to Cao Cuo about the information that is inconvenient for other guests to disclose.

In the backyard, Jiang Zhen saluted Zhao Guangyuan, "Little Jiang Zhen, I have seen His Royal Highness King Yue." ”

"No need to be polite."

Zhao Guangyuan sat down on the stone bench. Seeing that Jiang Zhen was about to bring him the account book, he stopped him, "It's not good for me to stay here for too long." The ledger can be sent to the big shopkeeper according to the regulations. ”

"Yes." Jiang Zhen stood beside him and poured tea for Zhao Guangyuan.

"The disaster along the state has hindered the transportation of grain into Beijing?"

"Go back to the prince, and be blocked. We have our own food routes. Everything went well on the way. Food prices have not fluctuated much, either. ”

"Good. The grain transportation channel still needs to be covered, so that people don't find out about Yuezhou. ”

"Don't worry. The stewards everywhere, including the laborers who carry the grain, are all our own people. And they only brought food from the storehouse, and did not know where the food came from. ”

"That's good." Zhao Guangyuan nodded. A few words of encouragement to him, and expressed appreciation for his satisfactory operation and flowing water.

"I think it's good that you have a notice to be posted outside. We still need to keep doing it. It is necessary to open up the passage between the east and west cities and the north and south cities, and control all the people's feelings in the capital, and not ignore any of these small things. These may all be needed in the future. ”

"Don't worry, we have to pay attention to sifting through all kinds of news every day."

The notice Zhao Guangyuan said was a notice posted on both sides of the store.

In addition to the daily price of food, various notices were also posted. For example, which family sends what work, who needs it, and what kind of work is sent. Such as the need for a washer, a craftsman who needs to repair the house, a temporary worker who needs to carry and carry the shop and the household, and so on.

The Nanshi grocery store was originally for the sake of traffic, in order to attract more customers, so that in the north and south cities where the people live, a variety of employment information was collected, so that everyone could take over a number of subsidies.

In the beginning, the guys were used to collect information everywhere, or it was provided by customers who came into the store. Sometimes the surrounding shops need to work hard to import goods, and they will also come to the shop to say something, and the shop will post a notice outside to help recruit people to do the work.

As soon as this move came out, it really attracted residents from the north and south cities, and they would always come here to take a look at it, wanting to find a job to do a job to supplement the family.

When I came, I would also enter the store to choose one or two daily necessities, so that the sales in the store rose directly and skyrocketed several times.

Later, the reputation spread, and as long as they wanted to find labor, they would come to the store to say it, and the store would post a notice outside.

It's not that no one has posted this kind of employment notice in other places, but there are no grocery stores in other places to check it, and no one dares to guarantee whether the work is real or not, and whether the wages can be paid truthfully.

And ordinary people can't twist their arms and thighs, and there are many people who can't get paid for their hard work.

So everyone likes to come to the grocery store in Nanshi to see the notices.

The notice posted here is a sign that they can rest assured.

Nanshi grocery store has slowly become a kind of Chinese character.

Those who are looking for labor need the help of the grocery store, and the people who come to pick up the work are not the kind of cheaters and tricks, and the master can rest assured. And the people who are looking for work can rest assured that there is a grocery store to help them check the work, and they will not be unable to receive wages after they finish their work.

As a result, the grocery store in Nanshi is operating more and more prosperously, and the goods sold are inconspicuous, but the monthly turnover is not lost to the strange pet store in Dongshi.

Even merchants from other places come to Beijing and love to come to the store to inquire about the situation in various parts of the capital. Ordinary people love to come here to read the notices.

And so the fame spread.

Now there is no need to look for people to find all kinds of news in the store, and someone sends different news every day.

Of course, it's not just about sending jobs to find jobs.

As a result, the network intelligence network that Zhao Guangyuan wanted became denser and denser under his unintentional intervention, and it has become a scale of its own.

A new supply relationship formed by the general store in Minamichi is also taking shape in Minamichi. For example, there are a few more teahouses, inns, and restaurants...... Even jewelry shops, pawn shops, ready-to-wear shops, and tooth shops have opened shops in Nanshi.

"There are many people who pay attention to our store, and we still need to ensure the safety of the guys and goods in the store, and we still need to send more people to stay in the store to guard the store sooner or later to ensure safety."

"Don't worry. Now there are people running to see the notices all night, and they have to pass by our shop several times every night, and Xiao Xiao doesn't dare to approach. Our store is guarded by several people every night. ”

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, expressing satisfaction. In order to prevent others from inquiring about him, he did not stay longer. Soon took Cao Cuo, who carried all kinds of goods, out of the shop.

Zhang Xiaonan pinched two taels of silver to reward, and stood at the door of the store with a smile and raised his hand, "Welcome to your guests next time!" Guests walk slowly. ”

Seeing him like this, Jiang Zhen patted him on the head, "You usually get a lot of money per month, now do this look!" ”

Zhang Xiaobei smiled at him, and carefully carried the two taels of silver into his arms.

"Who thinks that silver can't bite their hands. Or our owner is generous, never arrears us monthly money, but also more work, the small one has to be taken care of by the shopkeeper, take other people's wages for several months a month, the family life is good, and my brother can also be sent to the private school to recognize a few words. ”

"You don't want to study? Don't envy your brother? ”

"I don't want to. The small one is not that piece of material, so I want to follow the shopkeeper and follow our owner, hoping that the business of the owner will become bigger and bigger in the future, and the small one can also make more money in the back. ”

"Don't want to be your own boss?"

"I don't want to. The little self knows what kind of material he is, so is the boss so good? We ordinary people can follow the owner to eat a full meal, thank God, but we don't want to roll in the noble pile and be frustrated. ”

"You kid, you figured it out."

"Hey, hey." His greatest good is contentment, and contentment is the only way to be happy.

"Hey, hey, don't get out of here and get to work! The other guys are too busy to score, and you think the silver biter is lazy here. ”

Seeing that he was about to run to the store, he told him, "The one who came just now is a distinguished guest of the owner, and the next time he comes, treat him as our own person, and don't be rude." Don't reveal his words and deeds. ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper can rest assured, the little one understands."

Cao Cuo, who sat back in the carriage, put down all kinds of things in his hand and poured tea for Zhao Guangyuan, "Your Highness, the business of that shop is very good, you can rest assured now." ”

Zhao Guangyuan smiled, "That shop has a good business, and it's not the first day to know about it." When did you flip through the ledger and not smile so much that your teeth were exposed? ”

Hehe, Cao Cuo's mouth grew bigger and bigger happily.

"Looking at the ledger is looking at the ledger, and this is the first time the slave has been in the store. After a while, I was more relieved. ”

In particular, the new and old signs posted on the walls on both sides of the store made him feel happy when he saw many people standing outside.

In the future, when everyone knows that this shop belongs to His Highness, they will support His Highness more and more.

Although the shop is opened in a place where ordinary people live in the south market, the news of the nobles in the east and west markets also keeps coming every day, the news of the work assignment, or the information of buying and buying various goods, or the handling of various items at low prices, etc.

Communicate with the people of the capital and communicate with each other. It has benefited countless people in the capital.

According to Zhang Xiaonan, many people buy the fabrics, ready-to-wear, furniture and utensils handled by the nobles at low prices, and many people come here every day to shop for goods.

In this way, the grocery store connects the dignitaries and ordinary people living in the east, west, north and south cities, so that the prince can also filter more useful information from it.

It's still quietly unnoticeable.

That's good. Cao Cuoting was happy for His Royal Highness. "Your Highness, are we going to the Dongshi Strange Pet Store to see? Or go to the library? ”

"The library is gone. North City, East and West City also go shopping. ”

just wandered aimlessly, so that the people staring at him couldn't figure out his intentions, just as if he hadn't returned to the capital for a long time, just look around and watch the excitement.

"Yes. Then let's go to North City. Buy more things in the north and south cities, and just look at the east and west markets. Anyway, everyone knows that the prince is poor, and we can't afford to buy things in the East and West Market. ”

The emperor only gave two shops, two or three Zhuangzi, and thought it was a gift, but the King of Jin and King Qin got a lot of Zhuangzi and various industries.

The sum of the prince's Zhuangzi is not as big as one of them.

The Zhuangzi of several princes, there are many fertile fields, and the scenery is good, which place is not in spring, summer, autumn and winter are all vying to borrow the garden for a banquet?

Cao Cuo was not worth it for his prince.

The prince of his family is as if he picked it up. How can there be the grandeur of a prince?

Hum. Three melons and two dates sent his prince away. Fortunately, the prince of his family has his own ability, otherwise this time he will return to Beijing, this party and that party, and the prince of his family can still go out empty-handed and not be laughed at to death?

The master and servant walked around again, and as if they were tired, they finished shopping in the south market and the north market, bought a carriage of things, and continued to visit the east and west markets, this time they only looked at it and didn't buy it. I also went in to visit my own pet shop.

It's just that no matter the goods from overseas, or the perfumes, fragrances, pearls and all kinds of strange things sold, such as glass products, flowers, birds, fish and insects, they are all sold very expensive, and they are not what the "poor" Yue Wang can afford.

The shopkeeper is also very interesting, in front of the nobles of the capital, he said that he would send a set of glass tea cups to the king of Yue, which was extremely precious, and the price was a thousand gold, saying that he should have a good fate and send the king of Yue.

Cao Cuo still wants to sell miserably in front of a lot of nobles, saying that he doesn't want to be a bad person.

As a result, Zhao Guangyuan smiled and asked him to accept it.

"This is the first time this king has seen such a precious thing. It seems that he has been away from Beijing for too long, and he doesn't know the changes in the world, but he didn't expect that the capital is now making tea with such transparent glass tea sets, it seems that the king is lonely and unheard. ”

The play is also performed well, and a kind of embarrassment and helplessness and a little reserved are vividly played.

motioned to Cao Cuo to accept it: "Since it is the good intention of the shopkeeper, this king will understand it." If you bring it back to make tea, it's really delicious, and this king will come back next time. ”

A sad remark that has never seen the world makes the people who are watching on the side feel pantothenic. The nobles in the store were even more emotional, this is still the Seven Princes who wantonly played horses and paraded the streets and spent a lot of money in the past?

Sure enough, no one hurts the motherless child.

"Congratulations to the prince on returning to Beijing, and I hope the prince will not come."

The guests in the store all gathered around to congratulate him, and said that the king of Yue returned to the house at the beginning of the year, and wanted to add some joy to the palace of the king of Yue, and they wanted to send things.

"I heard that the emperor has placed a piece in the imperial study in this fish tank, and there are also gold and silver treasure fish, and I will also give a set to King Yue."

The Golden Dragon and Silver Arowana were renamed Jinbao Silver Treasure Fish in order to avoid taboos, and Zhao Guangyuan didn't react when he heard it.

Looking at the fish tank in the store, he didn't work hard to carry it at the beginning, but now he can produce it himself in his workshop. There is also this gold treasure and silver treasure fish, which has also been cultivated in Daqi.

The other guests refused to lose the opportunity to make friends with King Yue, and also said, "I will give the prince two pots of these five-color camellias!" It also adds joy to the prince. ”

"I heard that the prince is not in good health, so I will give the prince a copy of all the good medicines from Siam in the store."

……

Cao Cuo was dumbfounded, just this time, his prince didn't take anything out, and he accepted so many gifts? This is a hundred gold and a thousand gold, all of them are expensive, just say send it?

He also said before that the price set by the prince was too high, and he was afraid that the things in the store would not be sold, but as a result, there were still many rich people in the capital.

To do this or not to do it? Look at King Yue.
