Chapter 113 Linqing Prefecture
Three days later, at the entrance of the Ye County Government Office.
"Papapapapapapapapa", several bloody figures were thrown out of the Yexian County Government, and the crowds of people watching the excitement were clamoring. At this time, seeing the yamen runners who were slaughtering, more than a dozen people rushed into the side, wrapped the few on the ground on straw mats, and then carried them away in a hurry...
Seeing that the dust settled, he squeezed out one person in the middle of the idle mansion. He immediately ran in Laizhou City, and within a while, he ran to the back door of the He Mansion. At the back door, a servant was already standing waiting. As soon as the two met, they hurriedly said a few words, and the servant immediately ran to the inner courtyard of the mansion. At the door of the inner courtyard, there was also a maid waiting for. When he saw the servant and asked him to finish his words, the maid immediately walked to Yun Xi's courtyard. In front of Yun Xi and the sisters of the Yu family, the maid immediately reported...
After the maid finished reporting, Yun Xi waved her hand and asked her to retreat. Yuting, who was begging for the side, sneered: "Tsk, there are still many people, I can't even deal with Bai Er. In the end, I'm just about the same as kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. Miss, you are so awesome, you're really guessing right."
Yun Xi smiled indifferently: "No need to guess. When those people asked Feng Sihai to preside over justice, it means they were scared and wanted to talk to Bai Er earlier to end all this. It was Bai Er's reaction that surprised me a little. I thought he was young and energetic, and he had to blackmail him if he had the chance, right? At least in order to reach the conditions, it would take some time to bargain. Unexpectedly, Bai Er was really straightforward, basically not making any excessive demands, and quickly stabilized Jingjiazhuang. It was hard to see that Bai Er was actually a talented person. Looking at every step he took from beginning to end, many of them were remarkable."
"Miss! Do you want to use him?" Yu Ping asked curiously.
"Wait a little longer!" Yun Xi smiled, "There is more than a month left, and the magistrate of the Si County will go to the Ministry of Revenue to select officials. What he fears most is that if something happens during this period, we will give him some face. However, a month later, the head of the county yamen will change to a shaking master. Then it will be the New Year, and the yamen will seal the yamen. By that time, it will be used for Bai Er. Humph, he still wants to be safe? It is not that cheap. I asked if our He Mansion is not there? Why not use it?"
...
At this time, the street market in Linqingzhou was very lively. As the intersection of the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou and the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Linqingzhou is located in the north and Beijing, Luoyang in the west and Hangzhou in the south. It is known as "the prosperity of the two capitals and the prosperity of the Jiaqi county". It has a population of over one million, and merchants from all over the country gather, claiming to be the world's number one wharf.
Cui Xinxiao was on the edge of a small market and asked his friend to open a stall. He didn't go to the lively and expensive markets, nor did he find the famous big shops in Linqing. He just wanted to try selling matches, see the market's reaction, and determine a relatively reasonable sales price.
However, when the guy just polished a match and before he could shout loudly, the scholars who happened to pass by stopped curiously. The leader of the leader put the folding fan in his hand and pointed to the match and asked, "What is this? How much is the price?"
Cui Xinxiao hurriedly bowed and said, "This gentleman, no stocks, one tael of four, and a total of forty boxes." Cui Xinxiao raised the price more than doubled without blinking his eyelids.
A scholar next to him asked, "Boss, I wonder if I can try it?"
"please!"
When it was very convenient to polish the matches with your own hands, the scholars all smiled and praised. Then you wrote a few letters, and I filled a box with a few letters, but there was no bargaining at all. After paying, they called the servants behind them to carry them away and follow them.
Cui Xinxiao thought about it. Those scholars basically belonged to the high-consumption group and didn’t care about the mere taels of silver. Especially night reading lighting, they are also the group with the most demand. Therefore, the future sales direction...?
However, before Cui Xinxiao could clear his mind, a manager from a big businessman came next to him. Since Linqingzhou concentrated many goods from all over the north and south, there were quite a lot of business opportunities. Many big businessmen bought shops in Linqingzhou and arranged their managers to search everywhere in the streets and alleys, hoping to find a new source of goods by chance.
As a businessman, this manager has much more experience. Those who need night lighting are not only a group of scholars, but also a large number of consumers. Especially Beijing, Nanjing, at both ends of the canal, is also a concentrated place for officials.
So without thinking, the manager positioned matches as a luxury consumer product. Yes, he had never considered selling them to ordinary people. In other words, the price could be very high, at least at this stage that was just emerging.
"Please, this boss." The manager greeted with a smile, "You are here..."
"matches."
"Yes, it's matches. How many more do you have?" The manager began to survey the situation calmly.
"A dozen boxes are there. Sir, do you want them?" Cui Xinxiao was delighted. She thought that matches would be easy to sell, but she didn't expect that they would be so easy to sell. As soon as they opened, people asked were endless.
"Just a dozen boxes? No more?" the manager asked with a smile.
After all, after so many years of business, Cui Xinxiao still has some experience and is still a little wary: "If you want it, there are still some. But I brought these this time."
When he found Cui Xinxiao was suspicious, the manager quickly smiled and said, "Oh, I'll take all of you, so I'll follow the price you just said. Please ask...?"
"My surname is Cui."
"Boss Cui, can we talk a little bit? The teahouse over there is too noisy."
"Okay, please."
Cui Xinxiao followed the manager into the teahouse, ordered a pot of good tea and a few plates of snacks, and the manager came to Cui Xinxiao and then asked: "Boss Cui, I am the manager of Dasi Street Xinyuan No. 1 and I am very interested in your matches. But you have too few in your hands, I wonder if there are more?"
Cui Xinxiao was overjoyed and knew that the source number was the upper-ranked large number in Linqingzhou: "Of course there is, I wonder how much the number is wanted?"
"At least a few hundred boxes, and there is no problem with thousands of boxes." During the words, the shopkeeper revealed his wealth and integrity. "If it is convenient, I can make a decision today. I wonder how long will it take, Boss Cui, to give you a contempt?"
"Twenty days, if it's fast, it's only half a month!" Cui Xinxiao was already blinded by joy.
"Haha, that's good. Boss Cui, please!"
