Chapter 80 Business is booming (1)

Because I left the palace frequently, Xiaoduozi had already gotten used to it. Many things were arranged and they could be settled in a short while. In a short while, I had already appeared on Xuanwu Street.

Xuanwu Street is originally a lively commercial street. This year, it has been even more prosperous after joining Mochou Village, which has strong financial resources. Especially Mochou Village’s main businesses, clothing, cosmetics, and food.

Originally, when she was in Feiyanmen, Shandong, Qing'er was a good businessman. Now, with the strong support of the two major forces of the government and the rivers and lakes, and the strong financial resources that the treasury temporarily borrowed in the past, she was as good as a fish in water. In the clothing industry, she acquired all famous craftsmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Especially the famous Qiaoer girl in the capital, she was also acquired by her, specializing in designing novel clothing. In just a few months, she has launched three new styles of clothes. In the past, Qiaoer girl only produced one piece of clothes, but now she is mass-produced. Although the unit price has dropped a lot, the buyer is like a carp crossing the river.

Although there are many people in the country who cannot eat enough, there are also many wealthy people. When every outstanding style of clothes is launched, they can always be worn on the girls of Mochou Village. The girls of Mochou Village are all from Feiyanmen, and countless beauties are countless. In this way, they have an unparalleled publicity effect and often lead to a trend. Moreover, although the officials in the capital do not know that the owner of Mochou Village is the current Queen Defei, they also vaguely know that the owner of the mansion has a very shallow relationship with me. In order to flatter me, they all took the lead in buying clothes from Mochou Village for their families. When the wealthy families in the capital see that the family members of the officials and families wear Mochou Village, they naturally follow the trend.

However, the style around the capital also likes to follow the capital. Therefore, a trend of clothing has blown from the capital to the wealthy Jiangnan, and then swept across the country from the Jiangnan. Now, among the upper-class families in Dawu, all respect the clothes produced by Mochou Zhishanfang. Although some middle-aged families, although they are not strong, they grit their teeth and are determined to buy one or two sets of outrageously expensive clothes of Mochou Zhishanfang. In just a few months, hundreds of thousands of sets of clothes were sold, and the average price of each set of clothes actually reached a sky-high price of 100 taels. Not only did they return the investment amount of 5 million taels obtained from the maintenance funds, they also earned an additional net of more than 100 million taels.

Compared with the clothing industry, the cosmetics industry and the catering industry are not very good. The cosmetics sold nowadays are mainly some noodle and pollen. Although they are all high-quality products, they are just smearing and rubbing, which is not uncommon. The catering industry is even more so. Although I have transferred several imperial chefs from the imperial kitchen, it is indeed good to sell the restaurant business of the imperial kitchen. However, after all, the number of top-quality chefs like the imperial kitchen is limited and can only be dealt with in the capital. How can we expand the scale to the neighboring district? Therefore, the combined income of these two businesses is not as good as that of the clothing industry.

Even so, driven by the economy of Mochouzhuang, the commercial level of the capital was more prosperous than before. Merchants from all over the world came and went to sell. Fortunately, although the Great Wu Dynasty did not advocate merchants, it did not kill merchants, so it was not bad at the economic recovery speed. I heard that some brave vendors were ready to sell new clothes to the Western Regions countries. It turns out that merchants have no borders.

I arrived at Mochou Village like a patrol. It turned out that Mochou Village, located on the shore of Mochou Lake, was the most pure place. Now it is very lively, and all kinds of people are rushing to Mochou Village. However, most people can't even enter the door. Just now, several powerful guards blocked most of them outside the door. Those who wanted to go to Mochou Village to see if they could get some clothes and go out to resale. Now, the clothes produced by Mochou Village are often short-term and can be easily changed.

I saw a young man in his early twenties in his prime, taking the lead in arguing with the guards.

However, the guards saw that there were too many such people, so they ignored them and just rushed to the scene. I heard the young man talked for a long time and heard some clues. It turned out that the goods produced by Mochou Village were only supplied to a few big merchants, and then subcontracted to the people below. A piece of clothing was forty taels, and when it reached the bottom floor, the supply price actually reached more than ninety taels, and the profit became very thin. No wonder this group of people wanted to bypass the middlemen and directly look for Mochou Village.

I shook the folding fan and coughed lightly. Xiao Duozi quickly understood and took several imperial guards, shouting and drove the people who were blocked at the door and could not enter a way out. Then I walked forward with three steps. Although I didn't look at the doorkeeper, how fierce the doorkeeper was to others, how could they not let me in. But I still recognized me as the guest of honor for the owner of Mochou Village. I quickly changed my face, nodded and bowed, and sent me in.

"My master, please stay." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind me.

I slowly turned around, but saw that it was the young man in a common man just now, and smiled and said, "Young man, are you calling me?"

"Yes, my master, I'm calling you." The young man squeezed a few steps and wanted to come to me. But Xiaodaozi screamed and stopped him: "Bold, you just call me at will?" Then, he and several guards blocked him tightly, with all his faces holding the weapon at his waist with one hand.

The young man probably had just debuted and had never seen such a scene. He was shocked and looked at me in shock.

"Forget it, let's go back." I smiled kindly and said, "Take him in and talk." As I said that, I walked into the side courtyard of the back courtyard without looking back. This side courtyard was empty, and it will only be opened when I came.

I lay comfortably on the couch and said to the maid who served, "Go and ask your house owner to see me."

After the maid went down, Xiao Duozi also took the young man in. While walking, he said, "Boy, you are lucky today. Being able to get the honor of my master is the virtue that your ancestors have accumulated for eight lifetimes."

The young man was sweet-mouthed, and he coaxed Xiao Duozi comfortably with one mouthful of mouth.

"Master, Wu Baiwan brings it." Xiaodaozi saluted me and said respectfully.

"Five million? Why are you bringing five million?" I was shocked.

"Master, this Wu is not the fifth one." Xiao Duozi hurriedly explained: "This young man, his surname is Wu, his name is Baiwan, just like the master." As he said that, he pointed to the young man beside him.

I almost started to laugh, and someone even gave this name, speechless.

When the young man saw me laughing, he explained: "Master, the villain's ancestors are also a big family, with a family wealth of millions. However, the family gradually fell into decline, and by the generation of my father, he was already poor. Because his father was grateful for the foundation of his ancestors, he named the villain million, which meant that the family wealth of millions was worth millions."

"The name is good, I'll be watching the seat." I waved my hand and chuckled.

Xiao Duozi hurriedly pushed him: "The master is a great honor to admire the seat, so I'm not happy to thank you."

Although Wu Baiwan didn't understand why, he said respectfully: "Mr. Xie is the seat." Then, he sat down respectfully.

"Tell me, I just called me, what's wrong?" I looked at him lightly. Although this young man was poor in his clothes, he had an unyielding aura in his eyes, bright and energetic.

"When you say to the master, the villain will be respectful to the master when he sees the guards. The villain thinks that the master must be a VIP guest in Mochou Village." Wu Baiwan took a deep breath and said, "So, the villain must have enough courage and asked the master to stay and see if there is any opportunity?"

"You guy, you are brave." Xiao Duozi couldn't help but smile and said, "But you are lucky and met my master."

I chuckled and asked indifferently: "Duo steward, how much did you charge someone?"

Xiao Duozi turned pale and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Damn it, villain should die. The villain took him one hundred taels." He took out a hundred taels of silver bill from his arms and placed it in front of me, knocking his head loudly.

Since a eunuch cannot be lustful, he will become more interested in money. Although Xiaoduozi is my personal eunuch, his annual salary is only 100 taels of silver, plus various extra income and fragmentary rewards, at most three or five hundred taels of silver. One hundred taels of silver can indeed say a few good things.

However, this young man is too powerful. With his current identity, one hundred taels are almost an astronomical figure.

When Wu Baiwan saw Xiao Duozi kowtow and admit his mistake, he couldn't bear it. He immediately knelt down and said, "Master, all this is the fault of the villain. Duo Butler refused to accept it, but it was the villain who forced him. If you want to punish, punish the villain."

"It's just a matter of being so arrogant." I said calmly: "Get up. I won't blame you."

"Master Xie." Xiao Duozi stood up tremblingly with sweat.

"Put the silver notes away, this is also what I want." I pointed to the silver notes.

Xiao Duozi was stunned and hurriedly put away the bill with a look of gratitude.

"Young man, tell me how to help you." I stood up: "Since my servant has accepted your silver ticket, it will be impossible not to help you. One hundred taels, this hundred taels are your last desperate bet?"

"Master, you know what to do." Wu Baiwan's eyes showed a strange look: "Indeed, this hundred taels are all the capital of the villain. If it fails this time, the villain will prepare to work as a long-term worker and start over after making money. But why would the master know?"

"Haha, the true nature of a businessman." I said slowly: "It is true that the true nature of a businessman. If you take a chance, you will try your best. Let's talk about it, make a reasonable request, which is to compensate you for one hundred taels."

"Master, the villain only wants to have the right to get goods directly from Mochou Zhishanfang." At the last moment, Wu Baiwan calmed down instead, without a trace of joy in his eyes: "The villain doesn't want to be greedy for cheap things, just be as long as the same price as other merchants."

Xiaodaozi said with a strange look on his face: "I said, man, you have given me the last 100 taels. Why do you go to the Iron and Shanfang to get the goods?"

Wu Baiwan and I looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing. I patted Xiao Duozi on the shoulder and said, "So, you are you, I am me, Wu Baiwan is Wu Baiwan."
