Chapter 505 Publicity
Cui Hao thought about it and nodded, "What you said makes sense, so let them continue to study, but it will cost a lot of money. Go back and get me some money. This is like flowing money."
"Now I know why I want a certain amount of money alone. I don't want it for myself. It's hard to talk to my family for such money."
Zilan smiled. If you don’t take charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive it is to raise a cavalry.
Cui Hao smashed his mouth, "The emperor is stingy and doesn't give you nothing to eat or drink."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's great to let people hear it."
Zilan looked around and then leaned into his ear and muttered quietly, "I'm going to tell you something, you can't tell others, you can't tell your father and your brother, grandfather knows, he won't let him say it."
"What?"
Cui Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a suspicious look.
Zi Lan waved his hand and took out a mahogany box from the space and opened it for him to show it.
"This is……"
Cui Hao was also shocked when he saw the thing, and repeatedly held it in his hand and looked at it several times, confirming that it was true.
"What the emperor gave me, my father specifically told me that no one in the family was allowed to mention this matter again, and grandfather did not let me tell you."
Zi Lan twisted her body embarrassedly.
"I don't have a conscience, I just hide it from me."
Cui Hao reached out and pinched her waist, and glared at her in anger.
Zi Lan lay on his back and acted coquettishly, "Oh, hey! Why are you still angry? Didn't you know that Eunuch Li came to my house to pass on the imperial edict that day?"
"Then I don't know if I gave this."
Cui Hao stared at her and dared to argue.
"I thought you knew."
Zi Lan twisted her body and smiled flatteringly.
"I have no idea."
"Then it's not too late for you to know now, it's pretentious."
"Hmph! I'm not the most important person in your heart anyway."
"No, in order to prove that I have only you in my heart, I decided to give this thing to you for safekeeping and take it."
Zilan simply put the brand in his arms.
It was Cui Hao's turn to be stunned, "It's useless for me to want it."
Zi Lan rolled his eyes and said, "Then what are you talking to me?"
"Okay OK, then I forgive you."
Cui Hao returned the things to her.
Zi Lan reinstalled the things in the box and put them in the space, which was safer.
"Why do you want to forgive me if I did nothing wrong? Don't bully me for studying less."
Choi Hao was amused by her, and hugged her and kissed her, "Why are you so cute?"
"Go, do you go to the hot springs tonight?"
"Go, I'm going to take a medicinal bath."
"Okay. Then you go."
The next day, the group returned to the mansion. Ma Qing came to report on the situation outside.
"Go to the study and talk."
When Zi Lan saw him, she stood up and said goodbye to the old lady and mother-in-law, "Mom, I'm going to the study."
"Go. Go and go."
Zhang waved at her.
"How are they doing? Are they doing well?"
"It's not bad. Some people have some mistakes, and they can be corrected in time. I think most of the market has been prepared, and it's very distinctive and attractive."
"How are those Cui family's learning skills?"
"It looks OK now, and I have put in a lot of effort. I'm really not lazy. I see that some shops have started to pack things and prepare to open the business."
"You should worry more about the outside matters, and there are other plans later. Whether this market can make money is very important."
"Yes, I'll stare outside. If you have any questions, just give me instructions."
Ma Qing is mainly responsible for the outside affairs and helps her run errands.
"How is the list of treasurers and specific information collected by me?"
"Most of the people have all been fully equipped, and the main person in charge is almost the same. There is no way to find out the news about the palace maid and eunuch Shang Yi and others in the palace."
There was no way Ma Qing had to tell the people in the palace, and his hands couldn't stretch out that long.
"I'll find a way to look at those merchants and don't let them mess around."
"yes."
Ma Qing and Yan Li each have their own strengths, each responsible for different directions but can cooperate well. Zilan is quite satisfied at present.
The market has been renovated, and merchants have begun to move in and prepare for business.
The breakfast stall has also been set up. It is said that breakfast can actually be opened all day, and the market benefits are here, without limiting time.
In order to do a good job in the market, I specially found some people who worked in the market all year round, and I worked in the stalls that everyone is familiar with for many years, such as osmanthus glutinous rice balls, which I have eaten from their family’s best taste since I was a child.
There are also chicken soup wontons. Small stalls like this have no power. They just make some money by ordinary people. They have worked for decades to support the whole family.
This time, Zilan specially sent someone to ask about their address, and then persuaded them one by one to join the market. One of them has been working for many years, and the few have been missing for 10 or 20 years. It is a sign of life.
The two of them need this income. With the market, they cannot be placed so long on both sides of the street, which will squeeze out their living space.
She deliberately visited and contacted them from door to door, persuaded them to join the market, leaving them a place for them alone, and not having their rent within three years.
Money itself is not made from them, it is made from big merchants and collects their taxes.
The market is beautifully built, with small rooms and counters. They are all divided into areas. People like this only charge stall fees. Taxes and silver are included, and the price is not high and very cheap.
For this matter, the people from the yamen also went to talk about it. Many people went from hesitation to signing an agreement to go on a gamble and did it together.
Ma Qing helped everyone settle down for this and guided them on how to adapt to the new environment, so that they could sell money after opening.
For ordinary people, three years are enough to make money and make peace if they are free of charge.
However, although the merchant does not have the stall fee for the first three years, it has to pay taxes, which is already a discount.
Merchants who defect to the aristocratic families participated, and were basically full, leaving some temporary stalls for the people. During festivals, people would come to sell mountain goods, and the people from this part of the yamen would be responsible for handling it.
Everything is settled, just wait for Zilan to hold an event and make a lively market.
Although it is just a primary market, she thought about all the supply of it and tried her best to arrange it.
There are all live fish, but there are not many varieties of live seafood, but there are still some live fish.
There are all kinds of food, spices, and seafood from the south. They are all available, and they are clearly displayed and the prices are clearly marked.
Some people have already gone around strangely, and most people have set up their things and opened their business. Snacks are the first to open, and they are already busy.
Zilan was thinking about what kind of activity to do, so he thought about it and wrote a list and handed it over to Ma Qing.
"You go and have someone follow my picture to make a newspaper, find a few more people to post on the street, and shout with your mouth if you don't recognize words."
"yes."
Ma Qing took the things and left.
She drew a picture, and then wrote a few slogans and addresses below. In this way, those who don’t recognize words will know that it’s fun to read the picture, and it’s easier to recognize words.
