Chapter 127 [The major families in Langya, ready to go shopping]
The convoy was large, with a total of 100 cars, but because the one who pulled the cart was a cow, it walked slowly.
In addition, it had already entered the city at this time and the road was full of onlookers, so the convoy was moving more slowly and it was easy to be caught up with every car.
The cliché person didn't bother with it, but he actually caught up with every ox cart to ask.
With his leading effect, other onlookers gradually joined in, and soon, the entire street was filled with inquiries.
"Brother coachman, brother coachman, you're tired of rushing to the road, drink a bowl to rest."
"What? There are regulations that do not allow you to take advantage of the people? Where is this? What is the advantage of drinking a bowl of water?"
"What? I really don't drink it. Alas, the ethics are admirable."
"By the way, brother coachman, what kind of goods are you pulling in this car? Remove the tarpaulin and let everyone see it. We are so curious that we are like a cat scratching."
"What? Can't you open it? OK, okay, this must be a rule. Then can you tell everyone what is loaded in your car?"
There are many ways to talk about clichés. Shandong people are best at talking about family matters. While talking about family matters, they get closer.
The coachmen were trapped in the vast ocean of the people and were soon guided one by one. They involuntarily opened up the conversation and began to introduce the goods they carried.
Or, they were not plagued by the people, but had been guided and trained long ago, teaching them what to say in the face of this situation.
For example, the twenty ox carts at the front of the convoy, each driver answered the same tone of the people. Their words may have their own characteristics, but their meanings are different.
"Our twenty trucks of goods carry Shangluo walnuts, produced in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and you must climb cliffs to pick them. This thing is good for children to eat. The elderly can also eat it, which is a snack."
"You ask if the price is expensive? Alas, the price may be a little expensive. After all, it takes two thousand miles to transport it from a long distance. The cost of the convoy along the way is a scary number every day...
"This thing costs 40 cents per kilogram, and the purchase price in Chang'an is 20 cents per kilogram. Our general is kind and righteous, and only doubled the price. You can go to the local merchants in Langya to inquire about it, and you will know how conscientious this price increase is."
"What? You can understand it without asking. It's true that he is a senior citizen of the general, and he has raised a kind and kind person who is considerate and kind."
"Hahahaha, who said no? If other caravans transport goods here, the price will increase by at least two or three times. If they transport them to a pound of walnuts, they dare to sell them for 100 cents."
"I understand, forty cents per pound is actually quite expensive. So, our general doesn't plan to sell too much."
"If someone wants to eat something novel and can take out some spare money at home, then you can buy some walnuts and knock them out and let the children at home taste it... But don't buy too much, our general doesn't plan to sell too much."
"Will you lose money if you don't sell it? Hahaha, how is that possible? Let me tell you the truth. Our general has already planned. This batch of walnuts will be processed by themselves and made into fragrant and sweet candied fruits. Then you can transport them back to Chang'an and sell them to wealthy families to make a lot of money."
"Oh by the way, you need to hire people to process walnuts. This batch of walnuts is 40,000 kilograms. The quality must be guaranteed when peeling. Since the quality must be guaranteed, the speed of peeling must be slow, the speed is slow, and there must be more people required..."
"So, fellow villagers prepare early. Whoever has a wife and a little girl who is idle can sign up to do this job. Not only can you make money, but you can also learn craftsmanship and learn how to make candied fruits, you can work in the industry."
Twenty carries of Shangluo Walnuts and twenty car drivers who smiled and explained. Although this kind of cargo is not urgently needed for people's livelihood, the people are still excited.
It turns out that I want to hire someone to do work!
Doesn’t that mean you can make money?
Make money, buy food, and don’t worry about starving to death after you have food.
The people were full of excitement and began to look forward to the future.
...
The people who asked Shangluo Walnuts there were excited, and the people who asked about another kind of goods here were also excited.
It wasn't even an excitement, but a warm cheer sounded.
"This kind of goods are raw silk, and they are not shipped for sale. Our general's wife is kind and righteous and is preparing to build a silk industry in Shandong."
"Did you see that the five cars are mulberry seedlings. I went back and planted them in the mountains and used them to feed them to silkworms."
"You ask if there is any silkworm seed? You must have prepared it. Did you see that the dozens of boxes loaded in the truck were specially made, and it was full of silkworms."
"Our general's wife said that she wants to make the general's hometown rich. Everyone has work to do and everyone has food to eat... Whoever has a young wife and a big girl, hurry up and prepare for registration."
"Once you learn this business, you will have the skills to eat all your life, such as raising silkworms, drawing silk, making silk, and embroidery."
"Don't be anxious, men have work to do. Muracle trees need to be planted and mulberry leaves need to be picked. Isn't this a job? Are you worried about not having money to make money when you have work?"
"Relaxed, it is a long-term life. It is not a temporary employment, but a long-term life."
"You ask how many people need? That must be beyond your imagination. Let me tell you this, 10,000 or 20,000 or 350,000. As long as you are not cheating, our general's property will definitely be hired."
"Hahaha, why is this uncle crying?"
"Oh, understand, understand, poor, scared when hungry. It's good to be fine in the future, you don't have to worry about starving to death again."
...
There are always cheers on the entire street.
After cheering, the people gradually shed tears. In the blurred tears, a light appeared in front of their eyes.
That is the hope of life.
It is also a vision of the future.
At this time, the wealthy clans of Langya County gathered at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion in the city. The heads of the family looked different and looked at the convoy on the long street from afar.
Suddenly someone spoke slowly and said with emotion: "It is obviously a businessman's bad habit, but he has done it to the people's will. Our Langya General must never be underestimated."
But there are also clan heads who looked indifferent and said lightly: "He is his general, I live my little life. The only thing I care about now is how much goods I can buy from him..."
Now that the world is gradually chaotic, long-distance caravans are rare, especially in Shandong, which has not been in business with Chang'an for several years.
This time Guo Ziyi brought a commercial product of 100 ox carts. How could he not surprise the major families in Langya?
I have already sharpened my knife and am ready to buy it in large quantities.
