Chapter 33 Beginning
Song Jiu was not slow to react and immediately explained: "Miss Yu, you are wrong. I plan to open a main store and want to ask Mrs Yu for help, but I heard that some people are making money on the first day of the business. If that happens, I can't afford it. So I asked. By the way, I will understand the consumption situation of the upper class in the capital, so there is a comparison."
Song Jiu really didn't know much about the small historical details before. He didn't know even Luo Yanhuan and Guo Yanbin, even if they had not come to the capital of the Song Dynasty, he would not know. He could not be considered a history blind man. He went out to travel in his previous life and spent time reading some fictional novels on the way. In addition, he had learned history before and knew some things in history. For example, later Fanlou, an ordinary meal was spent several hundred taels of silver. The silver was very expensive at that time, one tael floated between 1,500 and 3,000 pm. There are more than twenty main stores in the capital, and Fanlou has not appeared yet. Rendian was looking forward to it. Yesterday, a large group of people consumed, and invited a few prostitutes to sing and dance, which cost more than 300 pm. Pan Weide bought the order, and Pan Weide was still calling for it.
It is definitely not because of those fictional novels that make mistakes, and the consumption is about the cheapest time.
"Let me help?"
"yes."
"Why ask my family to help?"
"There will be prostitutes in this store," Song Jiu was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he explained: "It's all the innocent men. Letting them perform, not selling themselves. At the same time, I used to live in the river, where is the slums. I don't know the etiquette, needs, and consumption of noble people. The people I know don't understand. After thinking about it, only Jade Madam is the best candidate."
Yuping turned her face to smile, and finally understood that Song Jiu wanted to open a main store and wanted to hire her as the boss's wife. This was a good job, and she was worried again: "Jiulang, it takes a lot of capital to open a main store, and at the same time, there must be dishes and other configurations, such as the tableware is made of silverware and ivory, the restaurant must be magnificent and the location must be good, so people can recognize it as a main store."
"You don't have to worry about this. I just want to ask you how much people have to pay to you when you are called. Don't get me wrong, this is something you must understand."
"That depends on, some customers are generous in rewarding one or two hundred guan, and even giving me jewelry worth hundreds of guan, but they are stingy and give me more than ten guan, and even a few guan. Some customers are rude and use their hands to touch each other, and they often make trouble for everyone to part. They make trouble once and twice, and their reputation is bad, and no one dares to invite you, and their value will be lost. If you don't make trouble, it will be uncomfortable to be wronged and be grateful. Why does the Immortal family ask Cui'er to find you when she hears your little order? Although this is not good, she is helpless and not too wronged and has gained her reputation. Who doesn't want to? This industry, Jiulang, is not as glorious as you imagine, and I don't want to eat it."
Song Jiu sighed and finally understood why the handsome guy Liu Yong was popular. Although he posted it, Liu Yong composed a lyric for them, which was exactly the three words "growing fame"!
"Don't Jiulang dislike me?"
Song Jiu did not dislike him. Even if he had a ninth-rank scattered official, he would not be qualified to dislike Yu Ping. Even as long as he reached the level of Yu Ping, he would not be qualified. However, she had an outspoken voice and did not answer, saying, "Miss Yu, how much income can you earn in a year?"
"This is hard to say. If you can earn three or four thousand yuan a year, you can earn less than two thousand yuan a year. There is also the rent of this yard, the food and clothing of your mother, Cui'er, my husband's food and clothing, the fruits and teas for entertaining guests, and the powder you usually prepare, you can't save much money and silk, but you get some precious jewelry. But the beauty is so old, and I'm twenty years old this year..."
Song Jiu is not easy to answer this question. People in the Song Dynasty got married early, and their habits were contrary to those in the Tang Dynasty. They liked thinness but not fat, and even liked loli. In fact, according to scientific views, the golden moment for women is twenty-nine years old. If they meet some demons, they are in their forties and dress up like a little girl. At the age of twenty, they can only be considered a little girl in their later generations. But this is not the point...
"Miss Jade, how much is these jewelry worth?"
"Jiulang, you asked so clearly, want to cheat my wife's money?" Cui'er said.
"Cui'er, no matter how much I love money, I will never go to have a soft meal. Mrs. Yu, say goodbye."
"Don't worry, what is a soft meal?"
"A man who relies on women to support him is called a soft meal."
"I promised you."
"Then thank you, and you won't let you down in the future," Song Jiu said. He still didn't know how much money Yuping could make in a year, but he definitely couldn't ask today. He asked her how much money she made. She said, do you dislike me? I'm twenty years old, can this be said? Yuping is pretty, but she agreed. Can the young lady of the Pan family be her concubine in the future? Even if it were Yuping, she wouldn't be a concubine. Choose one of these two, and she can only give up Yuping.
When I walked to Panlou Street, there were all Song Dynasty luxury goods stores nearby. Song Jiu didn’t buy them, so he watched them one by one.
After watching for a long time, I took the second important task and asked the painter.
Song Jiu's study of matter-based methods, arithmetic is a small path, accounting, practical learning, unified weights and measures, and is also a small path. It almost turned into a crooked way, strange skills and tricks, and lyrics are also small paths, and painting is even more. Although the painting academy was set up in the early Song Dynasty, it was not important to Emperor Renzong of Song, who loved literature and art, that he gradually promoted some famous painters to serve as low-level officials. The painter Zhao Ji was not included, including many famous painters, Fan Kuan and Guo Cheng, who had fallen into the people all their lives and was depressed and unsuccessful.
But there are many painters, some painters, some paint figures and screens for high-ranking officials, and some specialize in selling paintings for living. Even the great painter Xu Daoning used paintings to attract tourists to sell dog skin plaster. If you buy one of his dog skin plasters, you will give him a painting. Later generations of paintings worth hundreds of thousands of yuan per piece are now only worth one dog skin plaster.
Therefore, Xu Jiu paid 200 cents a day and immediately found seven or eight painters. His paintings were not comparable to those of great painters such as Guo Cheng, but they were all pretty good and could be called second-rate painters. Unable to have so many people, they chose to choose four of them and took them home. When they arrived at home, they were almost Shenshi, and the sun gradually turned west.
The gate was still open as before, and it was still very lively inside, but this time would not last long. Once the academy was established, it could not continue to be as chaotic as it was. However, more than a dozen guests, three sisters, a few strangers, as well as Eunuch Liu and a guard came to his house.
Seeing Song Jiu come back, they all come forward.
Eunuch Liu knew him, and the three sisters must have known each other. Those who didn't know him, Song Jiu looked at them suspiciously and began to introduce himself. They were all shopkeepers or managers from various businesses. Song Jiu understood their purpose without asking.
Song Jiu wanted to let the students compete, not only for this bet, but also for the students' future.
It is impossible for him to know all the things in history, and to know some major events, such as treating corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, and then beheading their heads and skins to make news. The Tang and Song dynasties were also very strict, but they were not so cruel, but they were designated as private crimes. Public crimes are mistakes caused by their abilities, and such crimes can still be hired in the future. Private crimes are corruption. As long as they are certainly private crimes, they will not be hired in the future.
For example, Gao Xi took Guo Chong's money, which was only related to corruption. Guo Chong himself was one of the founding heroes of the Song Dynasty. He just gave some gifts and wanted to ask Gao Xi to say a few good things. Gao Xi was sad. Who was Gao Xi? Zhao Kuangyin's confidant and private secretary!
There are various reasons for this. The officials are greedy, the protection of officials and the chaos of accounts, which gives officials an opportunity to take advantage of. The most obvious thing is that in the years of the Northwest War of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, he was in a hurry to prepare for the war, and the treasury had no money, so he had to regain the people. The actual two taxes were only increased by 10 million, which was at most equivalent to four million yuan, and the commercial tax increased by 12 million yuan, and various specialties increased by several million yuan. One household was spread evenly, only more than two cents a year, less than three cents a year, but only for four years, people in various places revolted one after another. This is the credit of the officials. The top was collected and at least 340 million yuan was spread below.
So Song Jiu intends to make the students shine.
If Song Jiu's original idea was to let students protect themselves after learning their skills and become a master of accounting management, it would be better now, if Zhao Kuangyin could take a fancy to them and let them serve as accounting managers in various prefectures, counties and government offices, wouldn't it be more promising?
Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why, but yesterday's competition, the ten stores might not be very happy, but this incident caused some sensation. Not only the country, but also some big businessmen's industries, the upstream workshops or production places, the middle travel expenses are lost, and the downstream stores are sold. These accounts are complicated. If the current funding and single-item accounting method are used to settle accounts, the billing method of this column will not only be chaotic, but also seriously mistakes will occur. To put it bluntly, even the servants of the Zhao Pu family will take the opportunity to greed for Zhao Pu's due.
It doesn’t matter if a large shop hears this, ignorant people will laugh at him, and sensible people will know the meaning of it. Therefore, these people have come. People didn’t know it before, but now they know it, just like Bai Juyi’s poem, a daughter in the Yang family grew up and was raised in the deep boudoir and was not known. She is born with beauty and is hard to give up. Once she chooses to be on the side of the king. She looks back and smiles, and the pink and beautiful palaces are not colored. More and more people will come in the future!
The guest was divided into the main and the second, and Song Jiu said to them: "Please wait."
We have to greet Eunuch Liu first, he is doing his job for the emperor.
Eunuch Liu said, "Jiulang, let's talk later."
"good."
Eunuch Liu carried a small brocade box and followed Song Jiu to the back room. Eunuch Liu opened the brocade box, which contained three ingots of gold. He said, "This is one hundred and fifty taels of gold given to you by the emperor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Jiu was very happy. The silver in the early Song Dynasty was still very cheap. One tael of silver was only equivalent to eight hundred to one thousand two hundred. Later, it was given to Khitan and Xixia for many years, so it became more and more expensive, rising to two thousand and three thousand. Gold was also expensive, and now one tael of gold was equivalent to ten thousand cents, but after the Southern Tang Dynasty, the price of gold fell and once fell to five thousand cents. Then commerce and trade developed, and copper coins were circulated in Khitan, Xixia, Goryeo, and Japan. The copper coins were not enough, and gold was circulated in Dashi. In addition, folk jewelry required a lot of gold, and the price of gold rose again, and rose to 40,000 cents at the highest. From the perspective of financial management, if there was no reliable investment, now there was gold immediately sold for silver and returned to collect it.
Song Jiu didn't know how to collect it, so he would use money for a lot of money immediately. If he got the cashier to cash out, he could at least cash out more than 1,400 yuan.
Eunuch Liu smiled.
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi heard about everything yesterday, and they were a little confused. What money did Song Jiu come from? But when he heard about drinking with several second-generation ancestors, he brought them to the Hezhou to see. He was very likely to make a decision on them and make a fortune by making a fortune by making a fortune by 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. It was a very difficult task to get this 20,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan. It was a very difficult task to get a fortune by 20,000 yuan. As long as you can afford it, it is not illegal in this era. But you can know a little about one or two, which is the capital. How can you play more than four million yuan, but you still can't figure it out. So Zhao Kuangyin just generously and gave 150 taels of gold to add one icing on the cake and give Song Jiu a horse.
Eunuch Liu said again: "Your Majesty also asked the Sa family to bring you a word. The one-month period is coming. Your three questions have stumped many people, and the court is not very good. Why don't you tell Dr. Zhang the answer, and he will say to Dr. Zhang and you will not ask for a reward of 500 pieces of silk. This will also help you have a more harmonious relationship."
“Fake it?”
"This is called adaptation, how can we make false?"
