Chapter 1274: Return to Jinshan Temple Again
The sky was slightly dark, and a garment shop in Chang'an City opened its door.
Thanks to the recent excitement in Chang'an City, the business in the store is also much better than usual, for example, many people from other countries, after arriving in Chang'an City, they always have to buy a dress that conforms to the style of the Tang Dynasty, right?
It's just that when the guy in this ready-to-wear shop opened the door, he immediately turned his head and ran in, shouting eagerly: "Shopkeeper, it's not good, something happened!"
"What's the panic? Now that my Tang Dynasty is the upper state of the Heavenly Dynasty, and Chang'an City is at the feet of the king of people, what big deal can be?" The shopkeeper in the shop looked relatively calm, walked out and said.
"Shopkeeper, go and look outside, the Wanji garment shop opposite, they, they ......" the little guy hurriedly said.
Wanji garment shop, just opposite their own shop, the so-called peers, six or seven adjacent garment shops are nearby, so, formed a certain scale, many people in Chang'an City to buy new clothes like to come here.
Although everyone is a win-win situation, but each other, is also secretly competing, I heard that the garment shop opposite seems to have an accident, and the shopkeeper also walked towards the door.
When the shopkeeper walked to the door of his shop and looked at the opposite side, the whole person froze as if he had been immobilized.
Early in the morning, there are many doors in front of my house, and several other ready-to-wear shops nearby are opening one after another, but the Wanji ready-to-wear shops on the opposite side have not yet opened, but they have already lined up.
It seems that there are at least twenty or so people, and more importantly, there are still people gathered one after another.
"This, what the hell is going on? Why is this Wanji's business so good all of a sudden? Doesn't his family's silk want money?" Looking at the situation opposite, the shopkeeper was also stunned, and muttered secretly in his heart.
Just when the shopkeeper was secretly surprised in his heart, Wan Ji on the opposite side finally opened the door at this time.
There was a queue of people at the door, and they rushed in.
Wan Ji's buddy was busy, and Wan Sanqian, the shopkeeper, looked at the hot situation in his store, and the whole person laughed from ear to ear.
Unexpectedly, I gritted my teeth and tried it, and spent a thousand taels of silver to buy an advertising space, and the effect was so good.
Sure enough, you can't go wrong by following Your Majesty's strategy!
"Boss Wan, your business is really enthusiastic! Could it be that your family's silk is not ready to be given away for nothing today?" It didn't take long for a familiar voice to sound, and Wan Sanqian looked over, and it turned out that the owner of the garment shop came over.
"Yo, Boss Shen, what are you talking about, for no reason, how could I give away the silk and satin white? Could it be that our whole family has hung their necks and is not alive?"
"Didn't you give it away for nothing?Then why didn't they come to rob your goods as if they didn't want money?
Although there is competition between each other secretly, on the surface, the shopkeepers of these ready-to-wear shops are quite passable.
Why did the shopkeeper on the opposite side of this ...... come, of course Wan Sanqian understood, and when he asked, he hesitated slightly.
However, he didn't mean to hide it, and said: "Boss Shen said that I gave the silk for nothing, but it's really not an exaggeration, because before that, I had already invested a thousand taels of silver!
It's not that Wan Sanqian doesn't want to hide this, it's just that he can't hide this at all.
If you don't say it yourself, after these customers go out, they are pulled to ask a few words, and they can immediately find out the reason.
In this case, it is better to take the initiative to say it, and you can still appear to be upright and open, right?
"Advertisement!?Is the effect so good?" Listening to Wan Sanqian's words, the shopkeeper's heart was secretly surprised.
In fact, he also knew about advertising, but seeing that those actions were hundreds of taels of silver, or even thousands, tens of thousands of taels of silver, the shopkeeper felt that the investment was too big and the risk was too high.
I didn't expect the effect to be so good?
What's more, there are so many people who buy clothes, because of the advertisement, this Wanji robbed a lot of customers and left, and on the contrary, the business of themselves and even other ready-to-wear stores will inevitably be affected.
If you don't advertise this, you won't even be able to keep your original business.
......
Not only ready-to-wear stores, but all walks of life, with the sake of advertising, the industry has a relatively obvious change.
After all, for the people of Datang, it is the first time to advertise such a thing, so it looks very novel, since the prices are about the same, naturally I have heard of it, and I trust it more.
Businessmen are pursuing profits, and after the effect of advertising has slowly appeared, naturally, the remaining advertising space has immediately caused many people to compete for it.
Then, these advertising spaces were even sold by the corresponding officials in the form of auctions.
For a time, a large amount of money entered the household department, which made the officials of the household department smile.
In terms of commercial advertising, the main attraction is businessmen, but on the other hand, ordinary people are more concerned about audience tickets.
His Majesty has randomly selected 10,000 people and given these admission tickets to the people, which naturally aroused the enthusiasm of countless people.
Those who didn't get the admission tickets were disappointed, but after watching the people next to them get the admission tickets, they all understood that these admission tickets were indeed given randomly, not random on the surface, but in fact, they were used by powerful people to get into their hands.
After all, the eyes of the masses are bright.
As Jiang Liu expected, after getting the admission ticket, the family background was a little okay, at least the family that had solved the problem of food and clothing, with the idea of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, made up their minds to pay attention to see it in person.
But for many people from poor families, they can't afford the high price of others, and selling the admission ticket for money can be regarded as a windfall.
As the end of the auditions for the last two competitions is getting closer and closer, and the start of the official competition is getting closer and closer, the price of this ticket has also been speculated.
It wasn't until a wealthy employee shouted out the purchase of an admission ticket of thirty taels of silver that the price of the admission ticket was almost stable at about thirty taels of silver.
Thirty taels of silver, for many people, this is almost enough to support the family for a whole year!
......
Knock knock!
On this day, the Jinshan Temple near Chang'an City also opened the door early, and the bell in the temple rang, long and heavy, and also woke up the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain.
"Presiding, these days, there are a lot fewer believers who come to the temple to offer incense than usual!" Xuan Ming said to the old abbot Fa Ming while eating breakfast.
"It's because of the recent Datang Cup and Bird Saint competition in Chang'an City that has attracted the attention of many people, so no one comes to incense!" Xuan Wu said when he heard this.
After these words fell, the eyes of Xuanwu, Xuanming, and Xuankong all fell on the old abbot of Faming, and there seemed to be something in their eyes.
"Amitabha, the plaything is demoralized, the world is addicted to it, you should stay away from the hustle and bustle, and participate in meditation in the pure land of this temple, so that it is possible to see the true Buddha......" What does the eyes of several apprentices mean, the old abbot of Fa Ming naturally understood, and after announcing a Buddha name in his mouth, he spoke.
This remark is to reject everyone's desire to go to Chang'an City to see the excitement, the three of them lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"The old abbot is wrong!"
However, at this moment, a clear voice sounded, and immediately, Jiang Liu, dressed in blue Buddha robes, walked in directly from outside the gate of the temple and sat down at the dining table.
"Jiang Liu, you, are you back?" Looking at Jiang Liu, who walked in and sat down, Xuan Ming's eyes widened, he was surprised and delighted, and shouted out in disbelief.
"No, you should call Xuanzang Holy Monk!" Xuanwu next to him followed and corrected him.
"You're all wrong, this is the Buddha of Zhantan Merit! It's the Buddha who has appeared!" Xuankong also spoke, and as he spoke, he got up and was about to kneel down and bow to the river.
"Senior Brother Xuankong, what are you doing here?" Jiang Liu immediately grabbed Xuankong and said.
Although he has become a Buddha now, it is the cultivation of Da Luo in the later period, and he is high, but when he was a teenager, he felt that he had no Buddha fate, so he was going to go down the mountain and go to the world.
"Liu'er, why are you back?Is the great cause of traveling west to learn scriptures over?" The old abbot Fa Ming's eyes were a little cloudy, and he fell on Jiang Liu's body, and he didn't seem to have any changes in his state of mind because of Jiang Liu's cultivation and identity now.
"The great cause of the westward journey is not over yet, and it is estimated that there should be about three or four years left!" Jiang Liu replied when he heard this.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Liu paused slightly, and then said: "The old abbot, who participates in Zen all day long, even if he sits on the futon, he can't see the true Buddha, only after experiencing the prosperity of the world, seeing the ups and downs, and having a real understanding in his heart, can he see the true Buddha!"
As Jiang Liu's words fell, the eyes of the three Xuanwu fell on the old abbot of Fa Ming.
Jiang Liu is back, pleading for the three of them, presumably things will take a turn for the better, right?
"Amitabha, Liu'er, your words are deeply Zen, so be as you say!"
"These are the tickets for the four VIP seats, and ...... then" After the old abbot Fa Ming nodded, Jiang Liu took out the four tickets for the audience seats.
"That, no need, just give you three senior brothers, Lao Wei has already signed up for the Sparrow Saint Competition, and he has already been shortlisted......"
Jiang Liu: "......"
Xuanwu, Xuankong, Xuanming: "......"
