Chapter 379 Yuanmu Lixin(1/2)
In the leap second month of the first year of Yuanyou, Gengxu (22nd), the Cold Food Festival holiday has passed.
On Ma Xing Street, a group of uninvited guests came.
Most of them wore brightly colored robes with left lapels, round lapels, and mink fur. The robes were embroidered with various animal patterns, and there were dragon patterns woven with gold thread between the sleeves of the robes.
There are daggers on his waist and hanging on his robe.
The standard image of a powerful noble from Northern China!
An entire imperial army guarded (supervised) and guarded (watched) these northern nobles.
The whole Ma Xing Street immediately became a sensation.
The shopkeepers and clerks in countless shops immediately became nervous, and each one of them breathed rapidly.
They knew that the God of Wealth was coming.
However, these northerners just looked here and there on Mahang Street.
I had no intention of buying anything, and I didn't even actually go into a store to look at anything.
Until they walked to a shop.
Suddenly they walked right in.
Then, I stayed in this shop for about a quarter of an hour, and finally went out satisfied.
In the following time, in the surrounding shops, only the people in this shop were seen busy packing the products one by one.
Pieces of expensive brocade were carefully packaged and then carefully put into exquisite lacquer boxes.
The shop owners in the surrounding shops drooled at the sight.
They couldn't understand why Beilu liked the brocade in this shop?
Obviously, his brocades are expensive and the workmanship is only above average.
Just because the owner behind this family is named Cao?
And the Liao envoy's procurement is still going on.
They entered one shop after another, signed contracts with these shops, set prices and made appointments.
They buy everything!
Rouge gouache, spice brocade, porcelain tea...
From Ma Hang Street, I swept goods all the way to Panlou Street.
They took out wads of money and used them as deposits to pay to the relevant merchants.
Everyone looked at all this in stunned silence.
But they have no idea what these northern barbarians are doing?
How did they choose the store?
Randomly? Or chosen by divination?
There is no pattern at all!
There is no logic at all.
However, the people behind these merchants have already seen it.
"The stores that Beilu entered were all the shops of Cao, Liu, Yang, Li, and Wang..."
Although, I don’t know what happened to Beilu?
However, everyone knows that this may have something to do with the petty officials in the palace.
Otherwise, why don't we enter other stores in Beilu, but only those stores of those families?
Countless people are heartbroken and heartbroken.
If they had known that they would receive such treatment after paying back the money, they would have paid it back earlier!
Why didn't the officials give a hint?
Also, the Cao family, the Liu family, the Yang family, the Li family, and the Wang family, these rotten sheep-headed guys, why don’t they give some serious advice?
What I usually say sounds nice.
What kind of unity of honor and nobles, what kind of brothers who have been friends for generations.
When it comes to the end, I forget all about it!
Especially the Cao family, the Liu family, the Yang family and the Li family, these guys all packed people in front of the emperor to serve as companions for the officials.
I'm afraid the officials had already hinted at them, so they could react so quickly.
But these guys don't care about the slightest bit of brotherhood, and don't show any respect for nobles.
Everyone just thinks about eating alone and doesn’t think about others at all!
While the nobles were cursing each other, countless news began to reach their ears through various channels.
Some of this information was released by Cao, Liu, Yang, Li and Wang themselves on their own initiative.
Some of them were bought by nobles and nobles with money.
These messages are fragmented and boring, but make everyone who hears them grit their teeth.
Because the main theme of these messages is one - the purchase quantity of the Liao envoy.
Even the price was revealed vaguely.
It’s a price much higher than the market price!
What makes the nobles even more jealous is that the Liao people's purchases are still huge.
It is often measured in units of ten thousand yuan!
Qiansheng, Cao, Liu, Yang, Li, Wang and other stores have sufficient supply of goods.
Brocade, spices, tea...
Then, these guys came around.
Isn't this what they sold at a low price a few days ago?
Everyone sighed after thinking of this.
I just wish I could give myself a knife!
"If I had paid back the money earlier, why would it be like this?!"
…
Zhao Xu was in the palace, so he was naturally paying attention to the situation of the Liao purchasing group.
Because Liao people’s purchases were all completed in designated shops.
Naturally, Zhao Xu can clearly grasp the details of Liao people's purchases, even down to the quantity of each commodity category.
In one day, the Liao people's purchase volume had exceeded 700,000 yuan.
Most of them are luxury goods.
Fine tea, expensive brocade, spices, and even tens of thousands of rouge and gouache.
Only a small part of the funds flowed to general commodities.
For example, ordinary or low-quality tea leaves, and ordinary silk cloth.
The sum of these two items is estimated to be no more than 100,000 yuan.
Zhao Xu laughed after reading the product catalog.
Although he had increased the price, the luxury and greed of the Liao people still opened his eyes.
"Let Jiaoziwu prepare it and print another one million Jiaozi for later use!" Zhao Xu ordered.
With the temperament and style of the Liao people, there was naturally no financial discipline at all.
Therefore, Zhao Xu knew that they would soon make a new withdrawal request.
This speed will be very fast.
Moreover, Zhao Xu was certain that when the Liao people took the money, they would still mainly purchase luxury goods.
Why?
Because the person who spends money is the emperor and the powerful.
Rather than the common people and herdsmen below.
It's that simple!
"No!" Shi De bowed and accepted the order.
"That's right!" Zhao Xu suddenly asked: "What are you nobles doing now?"
Shi Deyi lowered his head and said: "Let me tell you, as far as I know, most of the people are busy paying back the money!"
To be continued...
