Chapter 39: Purchase of Land
When Wang Cheng and Deng Jian were raising each other, they saw Chen Liuxian kneeling down and kowtowing in fear, and they were already smiling at each other.
This is their old trick, one sings the red face and the other sings the white face.
Zhang Jingyi ordered the two brothers to do business. As for them who were born in the Jinyiwei, their understanding was probably... robbed!
This kind of sings and harmony is a common blackmail method for the captains of Jinyi. Although it is old-fashioned, it is actually very useful.
At this moment, a crisp voice said, "Brother, second brother, what are you doing?"
When Wang Cheng and Deng Jian heard this voice, they immediately became calm and looked at the source of the sound.
But behind Chen Liuxian, Zhang Suhua was slowly walking in with the food box.
"Ah, girl..." Deng Jian looked cramped and quickly lowered his head: "Why is the girl here?"
Zhang Suhua said: "I heard that the two brothers were busy in the store today. I thought I had worked hard, so I cooked some food to deliver it so that the two brothers would be inconvenient to eat and drink outside."
Zhang Suhua put down the food box, then looked at Chen Liuxian kneeling on the ground, and suddenly understood. She smiled and said, "I never thought that the guest came. Did the guest fall? Guest, please get up quickly."
She did not expose this incident, pretending not to know what Wang Cheng and Deng Jian did, but also regained Chen Liuxian's face.
Chen Liuxian was still in shock and stood up with a tragic face.
Zhang Suhua said again: "Do you have a fancy to the cotton cloth here? Our Zhang family's cotton cloth is famous for you. You can take a good look at it."
After saying that, she had put the food box on the counter, ignored Wang Cheng and Deng Jian, who were winking, and said to Chen Liuxian with great attentiveness: "Go and visit me, brother, go and serve this guest a cup of tea."
Deng Jian felt ashamed. Where can I find such a wife? It’s hateful. He hurriedly said: “I’ll go.”
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Chen Liuxian's expression only calmed down at this time. He was afraid of Deng Jian and Wang Cheng, so he pretended to look at the shelves, thinking to himself, I'll take a look and leave.
I took a piece of cloth and touched it symbolically, but when I touched it, Chen Liuxian's expression... became strange.
The fabric is very comfortable to hold in your hands and is very densely knitted, so he casually said, "How much does this cloth cost?"
Zhang Suhua looked quiet and calm, and closed her hair and blinked at Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng looked confused.
Zhang Suhua seemed to be fine, so she said, "I'll take a look."
Since it is a store, there will definitely be books with purchase prices and selling prices of different products written on it.
Zhang Suhua looked down at the book and then said, "Is this the one? The price is not high, a horse of sixty cents."
"Sixty...text..." Chen Liuxian wanted to pretend to ask for the price, so he quickly ran away.
But when I heard the price, I was stunned.
How is that possible?
A more inferior cloth on the market costs at least eighty cents a piece of cloth.
sixty……
Chen Liuxian's voice trembled. If it were on weekdays, he would have thought the shopkeeper had calculated the price wrongly, so he quickly bought a few horses and ran away with some cheaper ones.
But after a look at Wang Cheng, the vicious Wang Cheng, he didn't dare to take advantage of this, so he said seriously: "The cloth outside is much inferior to this cloth, and the price is more than 83 cents, sixty cents... Little lady, this..."
"But that's how the boss wrote it." Zhang Suhua pointed at the cloth and said seriously.
What else can I say after all this?
Chen Liuxian said in a trembling voice: "Then you wait, I'll go back to the inn to withdraw money and leave me a few pieces."
He didn't dare to neglect any more, and he ran away like flying.
In just one hour, the capital was shocked.
Nowadays, winter is getting colder every year, and in this long winter, there are countless people who have frozen to death.
Therefore, clothing for keeping warm and warm has become a necessity for people.
The price of cloth is naturally rising.
But how could I know that there were such cheap fabrics sold in Qingpingfang, which of course shocked the capital.
The East and West City have already started discussions.
The first reaction of everyone was that the owner of this store was crazy.
The second reaction is, Oh, it turns out that the factory guards are doing business, and... it is still the Zhang family?
The Zhang family... everyone has heard of it, well... it is not very reliable.
Buy it means making a profit.
So, the Zhangjia Shop in Qingpingfang was suddenly stepped on by someone, and countless people flocked in.
The three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, two sold goods in front, and one hid behind to settle the accounts.
Deng Jian became more and more shocked the more he sold. Based on his years of experience in dealing with people, our Zhang family seems to be losing money.
In the evening, Deng Jian hurried to the back hall. At this time, Zhang Suhua was lowering his head to settle the score. Deng Jian said, "Have you calculated it? How much did you earn?"
"The sales today are particularly good, I sold more than 700 pieces, well... I calculated that I earned 920 cents after deducting other expenses."
Nine hundred and twenty cents...
I have been busy for so long and owe so much debt, and I have not counted the human resources expenses.
No wonder this guy Jingyi didn't hire a friend.
It turns out that if you invite the clerk again, you will lose your blood.
Not to mention, this store is own...
Deng Jian was a little confused: "That's all?"
"That's all." Zhang Suhua said seriously.
"It's over, it's over, this is not a business, it's a good deed..." Deng Jian touched his forehead.
…………
At this time, Zhang Jingyi visited some people after paying the price. Now he has no money, but the Zhang family still has a reputation. After all, there is one deputy, one hundred households, and two general banners in the family.
In addition, there is also a land covering tens of acres.
Zhang Jingyi visited Yang Wen, the head of the Ministry of Revenue.
Yang Wen was a Jinshi from the Second Class and from Nanzhili. After becoming an official, he rose to prominence all the way. In his thirties, he has become a hot director of the Ministry of Revenue.
Of course, like most ministers, Yang Wen is honest and very "integrity" in his official position.
His family is a big landlord in the Songjiang area, and it is said that the family has 100,000 acres of land.
I bought a huge house in the capital and also purchased a lot of land in the capital.
When Yang Wen heard the visit of the Jinyiwei households, he felt disgusted and looked at the person who came to inform him and said, "Can you bring a car post?"
"Nothing is available." said the head of the official: "Master, I said it was a private visit, and I also said that I have admired the Master for a long time and I have always wanted to pay my respects."
"Ha..." When Yang Wen heard that there was no sign, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was the Jinyiwei who came to capture him, so he said lightly: "Call in."
Immediately, Zhang Jing went in and bowed to each other.
Yang Wen must have looked down on these Qiu Ba people in his heart. It can be seen that when Zhang Jing wore the Qilin suit, he remembered the rumors that there were recently a hundred households in the palace that were highly appreciated by the emperor, and he smiled: "What's wrong with Zhang Baihu coming here?"
Zhang Jingyi said: "I heard that the Yang family is in Qingpingfang and has a lot of land..."
Yang Wen didn't even raise his eyelids: "Is that true?"
"Why, Master Yang doesn't know?" Zhang Jing said in surprise.
Yang Wen said calmly: "I have a lot of land, so how can I know where this real estate is? You can have it if you have it."
“…”
Zhang Jingyi said: "Actually, I am here to buy land."
“Buy land?”
"Qingpingfang, the Yang family has more than 900 acres of land..."
Yang Wen became more and more mysterious as he heard it, so he looked up and looked at the manager and said, "Do you have these places at home?"
"This... Master, you may have to check it out."
Yang Wen sighed and said, "Oh... I cultivate myself and do not like to regulate civil affairs. Besides, you and I are ministers in the court. You should think more about serving the court and loyalty to Your Majesty. This place... do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, buy according to the market price." Zhang Jingyi was very serious.
Yang Wen aimed at the manager.
Of course, the manager of the Yang family knew what the master meant, so the chicken nodded at Yang Wen with a pecking rice.
Yang Wen felt clear and smiled: "That's it, where is the boy Shangqing?"
"What?" Zhang Jingyi was a little confused: "What boy?"
Yang Wen picked up the teacup and said nothing.
The manager on the side said with a smile: "My master is elegant and never talks about money. The Shangqing boy means money. This allusion comes from the Tang book "Boyizhi". Therefore, people like my master regard the Shangqing boy as the nickname of money."
Zhang Jingyi suddenly realized that...she is such a fucking scholar who loves to play with such a thing!
At this time, he felt a little sympathetic to Wei Zhongxian. If you hang out with a group of people like this, you really want to kill them.
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but say, "Money is money. If you call Shangqing Boy, it will still be money."
