Chapter 221 The Big Wedding (Part 2)
"Dalang, do multiple things, or you send someone to Bashu first to see where the neighbors are really hard. I won't lie to you. As long as you give them a little way out, they will do things for you wholeheartedly. This is doing business, don't think about a huge profit. Look at Hezhou, you are all starting to make money, and Hezhou is still continuing to spread money. How much money has it been spent? More than 300,000 yuan, and at one point, my two big houses were full of money, but they were not money, and there were a lot of gold and silver. Otherwise, five or six would be sent to pile up the houses. After I left, the people of Hezhou were guarding day and night to save fear of something. Then there was a profit. You were afraid of paying the principal and wanting to make money. That's fine. Listen to me, otherwise you will regret it again."
Several yamen had to go back in depression.
Only then did Pan Mei truly understand why everyone said that the river has become better, and she sighed and said, "Xiaojiu, he is the son of Mr. Zhao. If you can, please help me."
"General Pan, it's not that I don't help, I helped a lot, but every time I say it, he only listened to half, but not half. For example, the best land at that time was only sold for twenty yuan per acre, and the poor land was only worth a few yuan. I asked him to buy it quickly, but I didn't listen. Now it has risen to fifty yuan, and it will still increase. Also, when Hezhou started planning, I tried all my skills to persuade them to come in, but some of them thought I was humble, some did not believe it, and some did not take it seriously. If His Majesty had not asked the two kings and three kings and the Gao family to contribute money to help, they took the lead.
, and it has to be delayed. Just like this time, the cost of a household with a side house is thirty yuan. They live a very miserable life. Two laborers give them three yuan a month, so they are willing to sign a long contract, and one person saves their salary in a year. If they sign a long contract for four or five years, it is equivalent to making a profit. If they can't even afford to pay for this little money, they want to make a lot of money. This business is too easy to do. And if they move to another household, the households in a county will reduce. Force the main household to treat the people well. If they don't listen, General Pan, what should I do? Should I cut the salary and force the people to go to where he is?"
Pan Mei had a headache when she heard this and said, "I don't understand this, so you'd better take us to Hezhou to take a look."
"Affect the order."
The group left the East Water Gate. There were no other buildings in the west except the laboratory room, but there were some small stalls and vendors shouting everywhere. So many shops opened. They actually had business. Pan Mei said: "Take me to the laboratory room to check it out."
Song Jiu looked at Pan Mei suspiciously. Although this laboratory is still idle now. It is a screening, but there are some dangerous tests, all of which are products of the laboratory and cannot be produced formally. After hearing about it, Zhao Kuangyin strengthened the guards, especially the front yard. Even Pan Mei may not be able to enter. Pan Mei immediately whispered: "Your Majesty's order, and let you take out some dangerous objects for them to see..."
"Okay," Song Jiu couldn't help laughing.
Then it depends on the dangerous things. Song Jiu brought his group in. Sure enough, the guards did not stop them. Song Jiu ordered first: "Brother Qin, you are optimistic. Don't touch them, it's too dangerous."
Some chiefs knew the words. There were many bottles and jars, and various utensils. They all had all kinds of materials, including metal, glazed, ceramic, wood, and other strange things. In fact, these were also money, not small, they were all deliberately made, and the cost was very high. The main reason was the acidity, and the lead stove alone was transformed several times. Some wrote about corrosion, severe corrosion, toxicity, severe poison, explosives, flammable objects, and skulls were painted at the same time. Each of the dozen houses in the front had such notes. As for those ores, they had been moved to the backyard long ago. This was to be identified, and those were places for ordinary students to do experiments.
Song Jiu took out two bottles first and asked the servants who were guarding the backyard for a piece of meat. In fact, the servants were looking at the back. There was no need for guards to see in front, and no thieves dared to come in. Song Jiu tried to show them again. This test worked, and anyone who saw it would get cold all over his body. Song Jiu looked at the twenty-seven barbarians, beat the cold ones together, smiled, and said, "This is a change, you can see again."
Put down one of the bottles, take out the other bottles, and come outside, carefully poured them into the glass test tube, and plugged them with cork. Several soldiers had already retreated far away. Pan Mei looked at them strangely, and a soldier knew Pan Mei and shouted, "General Pan, you go back."
Song Jiu turned around and shouted, "What's your name!"
Don’t scare Pan Mei, but scare yourself to the point of trembling your hands, something will happen.
He put it in a stone pit with great care and ran away quickly. The weather was cold, and soon it gradually became semi-solid. Song Jiu found a piece of iron ore and said, "You are optimistic about this thing."
After saying that, he smashed it hard with iron ore, smashed it in front and shouted in the back: "Let's go down."
Everyone didn't know what happened together. When they saw Song Jiu lying on the ground, the soldiers in the distance saw Song Jiu's latte ore had already fallen down, so they lie down on the ground together. They lay down in front, and a loud noise came from behind, and the stone exploded into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Qin Zaixing said in surprise for a long time: "What the hell is this?"
"Another kind of gunpowder."
"Good stuff."
"No, it is too dangerous and it is difficult to be practical. In order to study this thing, I spent at least a few hundred yuan, regardless of the cost of ore sent by the states. First, it must be safe to use, and second, it must be cheaper. The path it takes is more difficult than the opportunity for new copper smelting. However, if you study it, you will have a direction. Not only these things, but also other new things. They are all tested here."
The twenty-something chiefs still looked like earth. Maybe this is what Zhao Kuangyin wanted. However, the reaction of the stall vendors in the distance was normal. Song Jiu would make a big noise in front of the laboratory from time to time. After seeing too much, the reaction was normal. At most, the stalls were far away from the laboratory and they would never be able to get close to it.
Song Jiudao: "These technologies are too complicated, let's go to the eastern half of Hezhou to take a look."
More than twenty people quickly rode to the east, and they could actually see it from afar, but when they got closer, including Pan Mei, they were stunned and said blankly: "How did these houses be built?"
"Cement reinforced concrete. With it, you can build taller and stronger houses. All kinds of novel shapes can be produced, and glass is installed on the outside. So it looks very gorgeous. The actual cost is not as high as the cost of the palace hall. The more money it costs, not only the outside buildings, but also the interior decoration. It is getting late, so I will take you to Shunzhang for dinner."
Before entering the Shun shop, more than 20 people were stunned again. The fruits were beautiful, but they were too expensive. The more expensive ones were in the Shun shop. They served with thoughtful and considerate, served with drinks and fruits, and ordered dishes. The maid heard Song Jiu call General Pan and his attitude was so respectful. He knew that Song Jiu's father-in-law was here. This was also the rule. How many dishes were ordered? He went to the private room on the third floor, and the number was about the number, so he brought the fruit pot. The very gorgeous pot was also available in this shop, but it was not as gorgeous and luxurious as Shun shop.
A barbarian wanted to eat. Song Jiu said, "Don't worry, this is what you can see. You can only eat after you finish your meal. But most of them don't know how to eat it."
"Why don't you eat it?"
“Free gift, for decoration.”
"This is OK."
"Sizhen. Don't do it, look at the price of the dishes, it's even better." Qin Zaixong slapped him. Two tables, Pan Mei was also looking at the menu. But the more she looked, the less she felt. The store went from outside to inside, from service to tableware, and even the chairs under the butt and the singing and dancing performances on the dance floor all seemed to be in heaven, but this price was also a price that was only available in heaven.
"Brother Qin, Shun Restaurant sells expensive words. You order the dishes first, and I will take you to the kitchen before the dishes come up later."
"Brother, you can still have business if you sell it expensively."
"Brother Qin, the more expensive some things are, the better the business is," Song Jiu said. This principle is not clear for a while. If it were like his previous life, a Victoria's Secret Angel's underwear could be sold for millions, it would have scared everyone. He said: "This is just recovering from the dynasty, and the economy has not recovered. Otherwise, it would have been more expensive. Perhaps in less than ten years, all the vegetables on it would double."
A group of barbarians could not make a sound.
They have seen the world and are not poor, but when they arrived at Shundian, they felt that they were very poor.
After ordering the dishes, Song Jiu added a few dishes, and even Qin Zaixiong couldn't order them. Song Jiu said, "I'll take you to the kitchen."
Not only him, but occasionally the servants also take guests to the kitchen to visit. As long as they visit, they feel why the food is so expensive. Pan Mei said: "Xiao Jiu, it's so wasteful. These are all food."
"General Pan did not throw it away and asked the servants to take it home for their families to eat. I told His Majesty that tourists came to Hezhou because of the bridge, but it was a bridge itself, which evenly brought the money from the wealthy people and sent it to the country. The country then tried to reduce the taxes of the poor people. Since the actual opening, I only ate it a few times. Once I came to eat with my elder sister and the others, and the family. My elder sister called it dead. Another time I promised Magistrate Lü to invite him. Another time, His Majesty treats him, and I and Mr. Zhao and his important ministers ate 1,300 yuan."
"I've heard of this, too."
"There is another time last winter. I invited Weide and the others to have a meal. Just these few times." Pan Lian'er was also here that time, and Song Jiu didn't dare to say it.
"Why don't you say it in the letter?"
"say what?"
“The dishes in Shun Restaurant are expensive.”
"General Pan, you can stay in Shundian. You are just this daughter. I have money in my hands. Why don't you spend money if you have money?"
At this time, Pan Mei couldn't regret it. She asked for a long time: "How many tables are there in your house?"
"I really don't know this. There are many villagers from Hebei, Hebei, who come to send gifts, as well as students' families, and some distant relatives in the hometown of Daming Mansion. Although the latter is a distant relative, he cannot neglect when he comes from far away. However, there are many people in the former. I plan to hold a banquet in ordinary restaurants in Hezhou, otherwise the Shundian will not be able to accommodate the Shundian. Or there are many friends with the yamen and colleagues from the Sansi. This is not easy to calculate."
Especially for the yamen, half of the yamen are likely to send gifts from Song Jiu, and they will also send gifts from Pan's family. This depends on the name of the two people. One is my son. I come here as a family member of the Pan family, and my son is my friend of Song Jiu. If someone understands that only writes one name, then he can only come here as a family member of the Pan family. It is not calculated now, and it must be the day when the dowry is being put on, and the gifts will be stopped, and how many tables can be determined.
But there will definitely be no less. The more you run it in Shundian, the more customers you receive. Pan Mei also understood this principle, so he was depressed. Song Jiu comforted: "General Pan, I have enough money."
In fact, there will be another wedding in the future. Yuping's concubine ceremony will also hold a wedding banquet in Shundian, but there are still differences. They also hold a wedding banquet in Shundian, with different wine and dishes, and the price difference is several times. The wedding of Song and Pan families must be a disagreement, and Pan Mei wants to control it, but now it is too late. It has become a wild horse that has left Xinjiang.
Walking back to his seat, Song Jiu said to Qin Zaixing again: "Tomorrow I will send a supervisor to take you everywhere to see what specialties are there in Chenzhou, how much they cost in Chenzhou, how much they will sell in Beijing, how much they will be sold in Beijing, how much they will be profitable if they deduct the travel expenses. These stores will expire in three years, and some stores will be eliminated. I will take a shop for you and transport all the specialties near Chenzhou to Beijing. Then transport the goods needed by Chenzhou back. Then, in a few years, Chenzhou will become richer."
"Okay," Qin Zaixing is not polite. Brother, this is so busy.
