Chapter 126 [It's not easy to enter the city simply]
When spring is warm and flowers bloom, I finally returned to Langya.
When Guo Ziyi's caravan entered the city, it caused a sensation almost instantly.
Oh my God!
A full hundred ox carts of goods.
Looking at the loaded look, then the hard work of pulling the cart and the ruts creaked, and the ruts kept making panting.
"What kind of goods is it? What kind of goods are they shipped?"
"Have you heard that this caravan was brought by Lanling County Magistrate from Chang'an. It's so amazing, thousands of miles away."
"Chang'an is our country of Tang Dynasty. I heard that everyone can eat enough and change the clothes they wear every year. The life they live is so enjoyable."
"I heard that there are all things in the world, and merchants can make arbitrarily purchases. Unfortunately, our Shandong is too remote, and no caravan has been to Chang'an for seven or eight years."
"I really didn't expect that the Lanling County Magistrate actually did this. Looking at the size of the caravan, the ox cart could not be seen at first sight. Looking at the goods covered under the tarpaulin, each of them was filled with a lot of loads..."
"It's a pity that I don't know what goods are transported, and will there be something we are short of. If so, I must buy some."
"Yes, yes, you must buy scarce goods. You have to make up some money even if you sell them. Buy some and use them at home."
"Brother Liu, do you know what goods are transported by the caravan?"
"Aunt Li, have you found out what the caravan transported?"
"Xiao Sun, do you know..."
Across the entire long street, the road is surrounded by people, constantly asking each other, wanting to know an answer.
However, after everyone asked each other, they found that everyone was unaware of it after asking questions.
It turned out that everyone came to watch the first time, but they didn't know what goods the caravan had transported.
How can this work?
Maybe there are things that you are in urgent need of in the goods.
I have to ask.
You have to ask clearly.
...
Finally, there was a brave man to muster up the courage.
The man carefully followed a ox cart, and began to get close with his smile, and asked the coachman: "Big brother, where are you? Look at your driving skills, you are so honest. The ox is ordered by you..."
Since ancient times, the best way to get close is to praise others. As long as you are willing to praise them, you will definitely win favor.
Sure enough, the driver who drove the car laughed and said proudly: "Our driving method is pretty good, after all, it is practiced by running goods all year round."
He approached the man and nodded repeatedly, and followed the trend and raised the topic to the goods. He asked curiously: "Brother, what is the load on your car? It seems that the load on the ox is tired. The load on the car must be heavy."
The coachman laughed again and said, "You've guessed it right. The ones loaded in our car are indeed heavy objects. There are a total of 100 iron blocks, weighing up to 2,000 kilograms."
hiss!
Two thousand kilograms?
Iron block?
The man was stunned and couldn't help but glance at the ox cart, and subconsciously said: "It's worthy of being the magistrate of Lanling County. The work is really scary. Our Tang Dynasty strictly prohibits the sale of iron blocks. If it exceeds 500 kilograms, it will be charged a heavy tax... 2,000 kilograms, how much does it cost?"
The coachman laughed louder, and suddenly pointed to the back, saying, "Do you think I'm the only one? Look back at those cars. There are nineteen cars in front and back, and add me to twenty cars in total. Do you know how many iron blocks there are? The total amount of 40,000 kilograms."
Suddenly there was a silence on both sides of the street.
Forty thousand kilograms of iron?
This is simply an incredible number.
The man who said the cliché was shocked and could not find a suitable word for a long time. He seemed to be stupid and followed the ox cart forward.
After a long time, the man slowly calmed down and murmured: "Forty thousand pounds of iron are such a huge deal. What a pity, this is not what we ordinary people need."
The coachman was disappointed when he heard his tone, and couldn't help but smile and whispered: "There are only twenty of the ox carts in total, so can't you think about what the other eighty cars are equipped with?"
The clichéd person was stunned at first, then his eyes flashed with surprise and he hurriedly said, "Big...Big brother, what are the other ox carts installed?"
However, the coachman deliberately pretended to be mysterious and laughed: "I carry iron blocks, so I only answer you. As for what other coachman carried, you should ask them. Don't worry, we have not received the closure order. The general is kind and never forbidden from telling others about the variety of goods..."
"But we have to be ethical. If you ask me what I carry, I can say, but I can't say what other coaches carry. I won't be criticized by my colleagues and say that I'm fiddling with the slander for the sake of the limelight."
"So, go ahead and ask, want to know what is loaded in their car, and ask the coachman in charge of carrying it."
"Oh by the way, you don't have to be so anxious. The general has already said that these goods will definitely be sold in Langya. Then you can see it at a glance, so don't have to rush to ask now."
The coachman didn't know why, and he introduced the goods in detail. It seemed that someone had given instructions in advance and taught them what to say.
It vaguely means to suck your appetite.
If it is placed in later business, it belongs to the category of curious marketing.
The cliché was indeed aroused by curiosity and couldn't help but say, "I know that the goods will definitely be sold, but I want to know earlier. Brother coachman, can I really ask other people? How are their tempers? Are they as easy to talk to as you?"
The coachman smiled and stretched out his hand, pointed to the huge convoy in front and behind, and said, "The coachman is all running cargo, and no one is better than anyone else. Just ask, I can guarantee that no one is showing off..."
As he stopped, he continued, "Besides, the General had said that Langya County is his hometown. We coachmen follow the General to make a living. Who dares to show off their faces to the General's fellow countrymen? Brother, don't you?"
The man who was talking nonsense subconsciously nodded, suddenly his face was slightly dull, and he said in confusion: "General? Which general?"
The coachman seemed to be confused and said, "Why don't you know? The General of Langya, the Emperor appointed by His Majesty. A month ago, the General swept the entire competition. His Majesty was overjoyed and was named the General on the spot."
The clichéd person grabbed his forehead and seemed to become more and more confused, saying, "Who is this person after you talk about it for a long time?"
The coachman slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my mouth, I can't always say it right. The general was the former Lanling County Magistrate, and his current official position is the General of Langya, Guo Ziyi, please know..."
Wow!
There was an uproar on both sides of the road.
Did the Lanling County Magistrate become the general?
How many levels did you jump at once?
The most important thing is that it seems that it hasn't been long since he became the county magistrate.
The man who was talking cliché was full of surprise, his mouth was so wide that he could almost stuff a goose egg into it. It took him half a day before he spoke blankly: "Mr. Lanling County, has he become a general?"
"Not a general, but a general!"
The coachman's tone was very serious and solemnly reminded: "Do you know how big the general can manage the place? He can manage the five entire prefectures on Shandong South Road."
There was no longer an uproar around, but suddenly there was a silence.
Only the coachman's voice was pride, resounding in everyone's ears: "As a general, he guarded five palaces, and His Majesty allowed the general to recruit soldiers, the bottom line of troops must reach 5,000. If the general is willing to recruit more, he can even recruit 10,000 or 20,000..."
Gudu!
I don’t know who was shocked and swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.
The man who was talking was also shocked, but his face became lost for some reason. He suddenly murmured to himself: "As a general, I must be short of money. So although this caravan is huge, the people probably don't need much goods..."
The coachman laughed again and said, "This is not necessarily true. Brother, don't rush to put the attraction. Didn't we just say that, go to another coachman to ask... Maybe there will be news that will surprise you."
"Yes, yes, yes, I should ask." The cliché person woke up in time and nodded at the coachman and said goodbye: "Big brother, thank you. I'll go ahead and ask, so I won't delay your driving journey."
"Let's go slowly and don't send me off!" The coachman still smiled and bowed his hand with the flow.
The cliché quickly bowed his hand, then raised his feet and ran forward.
He was going to ask each ox cart.
But the coachman who guided him to ask, a smile of completing the task appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that he had really received the publicity task in advance.
