Chapter 60: Attracting everyone to watch

When County Magistrate Cheng heard this, he signaled his followers to speak out and listened carefully. The person who spoke felt a little duck-sounding, which made people not feel comfortable.

"Wang Dongjia is right, but it depends on how to calculate it. If you only count for one year, you will naturally lose money if you buy it. But since that seed is sold, you can leave some of it next year when you harvest it. Spend a portion of money and plant it for countless years. In this way, it will still make a lot of money.

Besides, the price you give is too low. A dou of rice is not a dou of millet. How can you buy it for ten cents unless you sell it to other grain stores, but you and I have your own grain stores. Which one has not used some means to get some land? As long as you plant it, you can sell grain when you want to sell grain, and if you want to sell seeds, you can sell seeds."

Hearing this, it should be what the Jin Dong family said. County Magistrate Cheng nodded, and he had already agreed with this person's statement in his heart, and the people there also agreed.

"What the Dong family of Jin makes sense. The two of them can't sell seeds too far away. They just make more money this year. By next year, I don't know whose pocket the money is going to enter. If the Dong family doesn't want to buy it, they can naturally discuss it with the Mi family. Maybe the Mi family will succeed by then, and it may be possible to give some seeds to the Dong family for free."

"Hmph, what is his Mi family? A small business company, can I still have to please them? At worst, I can find a way myself."

When Wang Dongjia heard this, his tone changed. He was no longer the gloating he had just now, but a little angry.

The man seemed not to want to let him go, and said, "The Wang Dong family is indeed powerful, but I wonder if his subordinates are as powerful as the man named Liu? In just a few years, the Mi family has changed from a small shop to what they are now. There are already six grain shops under his command, two in the capital city, and four other places."

"Let's talk about it then, maybe the Mi family will suffer a loss this time. If you drink, don't talk about it anymore." Wang Dong's family was unwilling to bother with such things. As long as he was involved, he would keep silent.

"Okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. It's almost noon now. It seems that the Mi family members can come here in the afternoon. Then we will go and see the fun together. The 9,000-stone grain will definitely be known who will lose money."

Another person was trying to smooth things over. For a moment, there was only food and chatting, and no one talked about this seed again.

When County Magistrate Cheng saw that he could not hear anything else, he began to eat slowly. The entourage was responsible for helping the adults cook and pouring wine. He occasionally took out his spare time to eat a bite. This was good for him. If it were someone else, he could only stand beside him.

"Mr. County Magistrate has time today? I just went to discuss the advertisement with someone, but I was delayed. Today, the village sent some tremella, but it was not sold. I specially gave it to a few shopkeepers in the restaurant. After a while, I asked someone to cook it with Shancha and brought it to the adults, just to relieve the heat."

While the two of them were eating, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurried over. He heard that he would cook for a while, but the county magistrate Cheng knew that the thing had already started to be made before he came. He smiled and said:

"The shopkeeper doesn't have to be so polite. After following a good boss, he can still eat Tremella and enjoy his happiness."

"What the adults said is that I really enjoy the happiness. Not to mention the amount of wages I pay, I usually have some good things, so I will send them here to take them back to the shopkeepers. Is the adults here today, and I must have to see what the Mi family and the master family have to do?"

The shopkeeper was not alone, and he could always see the county magistrate. He was used to it. Whenever he went back to tell the two concubines at home, the concubine would look admiring.

As he spoke, the shopkeeper filled the wine for County Magistrate Cheng and said, "Sir, I have no idea. I said that the master's family is so powerful, but how can this obviously lose money be calculated to others?"

"What's so amazing? There is obviously an agency, and I still have to make that big advertisement. If an advertisement comes out, who will go to the agency to find a business?" The follower was also worried, a little bit disgusted, and muttered in a low voice from the side.

The shopkeeper didn't care, and explained to him with a smile, or to County Magistrate Cheng, "I thought about this so at the beginning, but later I realized that it was far from that simple thing. There is only one Kongming lantern used for advertising now. I'll be good to wait and see, and I'll make a whole lot of it.

When those people can’t get the advertisement, they will naturally go to the agency. And Mr. Song also said that this time, I will discuss the advertisement. In the future, I will leave this matter to the agency. The agency has other means to not take it out, and you will know it then."

"Well, that's right. I think Zhangjiazhuang's work is not too easy. They always leave behind a trick, so that they can make money when they feel like they are taking advantage of it. They just asked the shopkeeper to come over, just to ask about the advertising matters. The shopkeeper should continue to be busy."

County Magistrate Cheng was relieved now. Since people said they were not in a hurry, there would naturally be no mistakes. Then, they could earn hundreds of taels of silver a day by making a hundred or eighty Kongming lanterns. Even if they estimated the lanterns more, they could earn nine taels of silver a day. Who would make the place belong to them?

If you want to count less lanterns, there are fifty ones a day, and there are more than 400 taels of silver. Ten days is 4,000 taels, and one month. It’s a bit scary to calculate this way, right?

The shopkeeper had already stood up and saw County Magistrate Cheng calculate there, and said, "Sir, I know you have made money in a month, but it is not that much. The advertisement originally agreed to have to pay taxes, and 20% of the tax will be paid, and you have to buy a new boat and get some money up and down.

You see those who buy cold skin and pancake fruits. Their cold skin and oil have to be bought at the Zhuangzi. Each person buys it once, and the Zhuangzi only makes a few cents. The lantern cannot always be advertised. As long as there is something written by a talented man, it must be written on the lantern."

"Well, this is the case. As soon as this freshness passes, the advertisement of Kongming lanterns cannot be the same as the price. The merchants in various fleets will naturally make it on their own ships. Who else is willing to spend such a large price?"

County Magistrate Cheng also knew that it was not easy to do business here. The purpose of paying taxes was to let the government take care of it. There could not be too many Kongming lanterns, otherwise if they were blocking each other, who would see it?

Waiting for the shopkeeper to leave, the entourage asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you think they really don't make money?"

"How could it be that it is not profitable? The shopkeepers who were found from other places at high prices are all human beings. They say something and think about it in their hearts." County Magistrate Cheng picked up the wine glass and said, before drinking it all in one gulp.

"Then won't their Zhang family become the richest person in the Tang Dynasty in a few years?" The entourage calculated the money and said in surprise.

"Which dreams are they doing this in the first year, but others don't know it, but others won't learn it? There are so many rivers, smart people will do it according to theirs. When they came here just now, someone had rowed a small boat and sold things on the river. The river was not his Zhang family. They built several large boats, advertised and bought food and drink, so the money would be less and less.

How many rich people do you know? How much money do you know? Any big family can use money to bury Zhangjiazhuang. The bigger the transaction, the more people you offend, and the more places you need to manage will increase."

While satisfying Zhangjiazhuang's profitability, County Magistrate Cheng was also worried about them. He didn't know how many pairs of red eyes were staring at them.

I don’t know who promoted the loss-making business that Zhangjiazhuang did this time. As soon as noon, many people arrived here, wanting to see how Zhuangzi, who bought this place to take advantage of the situation, dealt with this time.

There are some merchants, some handicraftsmen who are idle and have nothing to do, and some people who come to sell snacks. The sky is still so cloudy. I don’t know when a heavy rain will fall. People who sell umbrellas will look up from time to time, hoping that the rain will be heavier and heavier.

After dinner, County Magistrate Cheng followed his entourage to float on the river again. Many people were waiting on the river. There were too many people on the shore and it was a little crowded. This made the place in the river look a little narrower, and the cargo ship needed to be made. Fortunately, County Magistrate Cheng had foresight and was wearing official uniforms, so no one dared to let the boat squeeze him.

While everyone was waiting, dust rose from afar. Several horses were running in front, and three well-decorated cars were followed by, with the flag on the side of the car with the word "ri" written on it.

When everyone came, they knew when they saw this situation. The Mi family's businessmen arrived and began to look for Song Jinggong everywhere. Usually, people here already knew the person in charge of this place.

When the Mi family's team was approaching, the crowded people made a way to get here through the bridge.

After the team stopped, someone jumped out of the two cars. When others stood up, the door of the car in the middle was opened. The two people got off from there, one was the Mi Dong family, and the other was his think tank, the one named Liu.

"Look, there are indeed many people, Brother Liu, we are really in a glorious place this time. Have the person who sent the news arranged the arrangement?"

Mi Dong's family got off the car and looked at the cloudy sky, but felt comfortable. They said to the person next to them with their hands behind their backs.

"Don't worry, the boss will spread the news later and let everyone here know." Liu Zhitang looked confident.

At this time, Song Jinggong also knew that he had not had such a big show when he walked out of a shop next to him. He only followed two miscellaneous people around him. He walked here quickly and said to the Mi Dong family: "Forgive me, I waited a little late. The Mi Dong family is indeed a believer. He said it was afternoon, and it was in the afternoon."
