Chapter 116 Turn grief and anger into business opportunities

After grabbing two heads, Ouyang said in pain: "The palace can be solved by barely solving it. Move the gate of the yamen and renovate the court. Together with my residence, someone filled the swimming pool. Use two wooden boards to pull the alley to enclose the land. If you circle the outside of the court, you can get two acres of size and then break through the stable to the right. You should get three acres. Send the horse to my printing factory in the suburbs to raise it first." Ouyang said: "There is also a standard of food. The water must be brought forty miles away, and twenty miles away is suspended.

The cliff is too difficult, so you can just turn around and go to Qinghe five miles away, but you have to go around forty miles, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if there is a problem. The ingredients are picky, but Yangping is sufficient and it is still a good idea to start. The water can be sold to pig farms to generate income and collect some costs. There is also loess nothing wrong. The problem is that there are only six inns in the city, plus two under construction outside the city, and there are only eight inns, with only two rooms, and none of them meet the standards of the ministers."

"The quantity is not difficult." Gan Xin said: "Then rent a private house for the time being. But the size of this requirement..."

"No matter how big a person is, you can't even put in a guest room. Gan Xin said, "You just need to say it. Moji tells them not to come." Ouyang said unhappy: "It's a mess to come."

Ou Ping interrupted, "Young Master, even if they have reimbursed some of them, we have to pay a lot of money to get in."

"Why would you find someone to pretend to be an envoy of the Jin Kingdom and hold the emperor and tell her not to come?" Ouyang Tianyi was imaginary.

Zhan Ming ignored him and said nonsense: "I can borrow 3,000 people from the state to maintain peripheral public security and transportation, but this is also a big expense. We can't stop eating. Even if a person has a meal cost of 30,000 yuan a day, three thousand people will have 90 yuan a day. If you stay for ten days, the food cost alone will cost 90 yuan and the accommodation cost, and a little subsidy is still needed, so that the state will not say that we are not interested enough, and this amount will be 2,000 yuan."

Gan Xin said: "The loess is now 80 cents, and the hiring workers are spread. The budget is at least 3,000 cents. Some of the ingredients need to be transported from Tokyo. According to ten days, it requires about 300 cents of transportation fees and 100 cents of water. It takes a lot of money to move the yamen, and a lot of money to repair the palace. Broadening the streets, some buildings must be demolished, and some money to compensate. There are also some handicrafts to be made to the ministers, and the ministers must also hire guides..."

Ou Ping said: "If the emperor is working hard to go to the countryside to see it, this move will require a lot of money. When it comes to the village reception fee, hiring elders to chat with her stupidly, hiring laborers to welcome the fee, subsidize the cost of stopping production losses..."

"Stop!" Ouyang asked with a headache: "How much is it?"

Gan Xin rolled his eyes and pinched his fingers. After a while, he said: "At least 10,000 guan, it's the emperor who doesn't go to the countryside, he only stays for ten days. If he wants to go to the countryside, he will be at least 3,000 guan. If she goes to each village, the yamen will basically go bankrupt. In addition, based on ten days, the county's production capacity will be greatly damaged, and the new city wall must be built, right? After she arrives, it will be slack in July, but we are preparing for slack in June..."

"In a word, it's best if she doesn't come." Ouyang said: "When she comes, Yangping will have blood."

"That's right, they arrived on the 20th, and they would have to seal the East Street for one day. All the goods to the new city had to be transferred to the south gate. The goods to the new city had to be transferred to the south gate. Originally, the traffic in Yangping was very tense, but suddenly there were so many sedan chairs, which seriously disrupted the local order. And when they were in Yangping, they were dominating the road. The lord also knew that we were ox carriages and horse carriages one after another, and we had to block them."

Ouyang touched his chin: "We won't do business that loses money. Now the emperor comes to him by himself, and if we don't do some articles, we will lose money to those of us in vain. We have to make a profit for the amount of money posted."

"How to make money?"

"I will see the news the day after tomorrow!"

...

Royal newspaper Yangping special issue. The Ninth Eunuch explained: "It is a publication specially for Yangpingjia. It said that Ou will hold the Yangping Bank National Games that can be participated by both men and women in late July. The events include: shooting, weightlifting, swimming, boating, racing, Cuju, fighting, long jump, high jump, mountaineering... The people are strong and the country is strong, and fitness is less sick. This sports meeting is held in this spirit. This sports meeting is sponsored by Yangping Bank. Yangping Wine Industry is the only designated sports meeting alcoholic beverage, Yangping Min Kiln is the only designated porcelain, Yangping Chicken Farm is the only designated chicken food, and Southeast Tea Business Association is the only designated tea merchant for this sports meeting..."

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What are this kids going to do?" His thoughts really couldn't keep up with Ouyang's brain.

"I don't know, but this newspaper has rules for each event. For example, shooting, horse shooting and step shooting, the number of targets is won from a hundred meters away. The first place is a pure gold medal plus a 500-ton prize, and the second place is a sterling silver medal plus a 200-ton prize. Each of the contestants can complete the competition has a 10-ton prize. The contestants are selected by each prefecture and county, and each county has no more than two contestants in each event. Finally, there is a group prize, the county with the most gold medals... a reward of 5,000 tons is really rich. The second place county is rewarded 2,000. Then there are 1,000 and 800. All counties participating in the registration and those who have completed half of the competition can get at least 100 tons. And... and..."

"what else?"

"There are also emperors and important civil and military officials to come to the scene in person." Eunuch Ninth praised in his heart. This sentence was really vicious. Once these words were said, you have to consider whether the nearby counties would send people to participate. Eunuch Ninth asked carefully: "Your Majesty, do you see?"

"It's quite interesting. We'll participate, and choose from the inner guards."

The Ninth Eunuch continued to read: "Hold the first Yangping economic and trade negotiation meeting at the same time..."

...

Ou Ping signed and said, "My representative is Hangzhou New Town to participate in the swimming competition."

Gan Xin said to the card: "No. Hangzhou New City Swimming O18!"

Zhan Ming: "Shang Gu, participate in the fight project."

Gan Xin: "Number of Shouzhou Shanggu fight o3o."

Zhan Ming was shocked: "So many people who fight?"

"Participants are not allowed to inquire about other contestants, otherwise they will be disqualified from the competition." Gan Xin's teeth, these two guys dared not mean Yang Ping. Be careful that the brush he signed up and poked the two people to death.

Ouyang smiled. Gan Xin looked at the long queue and said, "Sir, the local registration rate is over 40%. There are many people, except for nearby prefectures and counties, the Western Army East Army, the Tokyo Imperial Army, and the Oui Nei also sent people to participate. Go north to Taiyuan Prefecture, and Zhending Prefecture quickly sent people to leave a seat. They are organizing personnel. Go west to Xingyuan Prefecture, and people arrived yesterday. There are six counties in Yangzhou. Now there are nearly a hundred registered players. The farthest in the southeast, Hangzhou is the farthest, and all five counties are coming. Among them, the New City staff is full, which is very generous. There are only Yongzhou in the southwest, and there are few people coming, only a dozen people in two counties. Many private houses have been employed for merchants, and the ordered tents are for athletes. It is a bit crowded, but it is okay."

“Not bad, not bad.”

Gan Xin said: "Sir, the people who participated in the accommodation are free of charge. Didn't we pay more?"

"The first emperor would not go to the countryside, and it would be simpler. This is a sum. Secondly, accommodation is tight, housing prices are increased by five times, and many people in Tokyo are here to watch the excitement. This is a sum. Aren't there any commercial negotiation meetings during the competition? It can guide merchants and other alliances to set up places in other places. This is a sum. Promote Yangping and enhance the brand effect of Yangping. This is a sum. Pay attention to fitness for the whole people. Yangping Money Bank contacts cooperative partners in the southeast, southwest and west. This is another sum. The first time we do it, we will definitely lose money, but if we do it in the next year or once in two years, we can make money. This time, the sponsors don't pay much, but the next time it's hard to say, this is another sum. Royal News has started in various regions to lay a solid foundation for the next step of expansion in east, west, north, and north. And so on, we do lose money on all the things, but the hidden assets have increased a lot."

"I don't understand very much." Gan Xin shook his head.

Ouyang picked up two cups and said, "One of them is Yangping Kiln, which sells 20 yuan. The other is Bazhou Kiln, which sells 10 yuan. Which one would you buy? Many people know that Yangping is a good place. The things in that place are cheap and of good quality. Bazhou? Where is it? I haven't heard of it. So people with two money will buy Yangping Kiln cups, which is called brand effect. There is also business, Yangping people have the strength to be honest, which is also a brand effect. If we only produce domestic demand, there is no need. But if we want to expand our business, we have to have a name."

Gan Xin nodded and said, "My dear, the yamen is to give them a good brand and a good environment. Whether the business will be successful depends on themselves."

"Well, in a few days, I will start a university and open a business management course, which is mainly to solve the talents needed for these merchants to open branches and divide the stores. After all, it is operated in another place and requires systematic training. The backward family management is slowly eliminated and commercial activities with scale and procedures are carried out." Ouyang said of his original intention. If he loved money, he would have endless money to spend. His idea is that as a person, he can have shortcomings, but he always needs some light and some heat. Although the future is difficult, as long as he can do, he can do as much as he can.

He believes that the key points of development of work, agriculture and commerce are. Of course, there are many class contradictions, but if it can be guided well, it can be mutually beneficial. Due to the exhibition of industry and commerce, the per capita arable land area increases and the price of grain rises. This has certain benefits for all aspects. Even the landlord class has many choices, which can sell the land to the government, invest in and trade, and can subcontract and ensure the harvest. You can hire people to cultivate, after all, the price of grain will only be high and not low. Ouyang's literacy policy also coincides with the source of employment for landlords, and some refugees are even more diligent and cheaper than the original long-term workers. The general contract now is that they have been a long-term worker at the xx family for two years, and the xx family is responsible for learning thousands of words within two years. This is a welfare measure, because people from other places are not qualified to go to Yangping Academy without a license.

...

It was only three days before the opening ceremony of the First World Yangping National Games, Business Exchange Conferences, and Everything Expo. The athletes were arranged outside the city. Yangping immediately went to the border to purchase more than 100 sets of tents, and was escorted back by Western Army athletes. The main stadium was set at the south gate, which was originally a fertile land. The yamen came out to buy it. It was purely open-air and could be used after leveling it. The business exchange meeting was set at the Yangping Business Association. As for the expo, it was just a false name, and only Yangping people participated in the exhibition. The time was rushed. Even if Yangping had financial resources, it could not be equipped with all the necessary equipment under the traffic conditions that were not met in ancient times.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu in the capital did not follow the imperial carriage, but instead arrived in Yangping with more than a dozen inner guards and Xiaoqing in a sedan chair. As soon as he arrived at the east gate, he was intercepted by a yamen runner. The yamen runner asked: "Are you participating in the competition, participating in the business or visiting?"

The Neiwei asked, "What's the saying?"

"The contestants entered the East Gate, the participating merchants and the visitor were entered."

"We participate in the competition, this is a certificate."

The yamen runner took it and was shocked when he saw it. It turned out to be a certificate issued by the Danei. To participate in the competition, there must be a certificate issued by the government, which states which of the athletes are and who is with the team. The yamen runner handed back the certificate with both hands.

"Let's go!"

"Slowly!" said the yamen runner: "I'm sorry, sirs, there is an order above. No sedan chair is allowed in Yangping. There is an inn not far away. You can store the sedan chairs at the inn."

"Bold!" The inner guard said angrily: "These are the two princesses."

"It's a bold thing to put the sedan chair in." The yamen runner explained with a good temper: "Yangping County is small and crowded. The yamen has ordered that even if they get married, they are not allowed to ride in the sedan chair within these days."

"Forget it, get out of the sedan chair!" Zhao Yu said, put down the sedan chair, Zhao Yu walked out and said, "Take the sedan chair to the inn."

"yes!"

The yamen runner enthusiastically said, "Dear princesses, you can go directly to the athlete reception desk of the South Gate to report. They will lead you to the place where you live. There are many people in the land. If you have any offense, please bear with me."

Three inner guards opened the road, and Zhao Yu and Xiaoqing walked between them. As soon as they entered the east gate, they knew that the yamen runners were not nonsense, and the entire East Street was crowded. The five-meter-wide road was originally very smooth, but a platform of one or two meters wide was built in a few steps.

"Yangping colorful glazed tiles, brick prices, royal quality."

"Look at it, Yangping Clothing solemnly shows this year's fashion clothing." There are one meter wide long platforms on the front of the tile platform. The left and right sides are men, and more than a dozen handsome young men and women stand on the stage in different clothes.

Xiao Qing pointed to a white-collar short skirt and said happily: "Sister, look at that dress."

Zhao Yu nodded: "It's not bad, go and take a look."

"Oh, these two ladies have a vision. This set of clothes is called Xialiang." A guest came over and introduced: "This set of clothes is a design of spring charm, summer cold, autumn thoughts and winter warmth by Lord Ou of this county. I won't say much about the ingredients. When talking about this style, Lord Gan Xin said it was a poem "half-hugging the pipa and half-covering the face". It looks solemn, but it retains the temptation of women. Paired with a pair of special flesh-colored leggings, it is absolutely top-notch."

"He has this leisure time." Zhao Yu smiled softly and said, "Get one for me each."

"One of them?" The guy said in a hurry: "Madam, this Chunyun and Qiusi have been ordered ten days later. Even if you need Xialiang, you will have to pick up the goods in five days."

At this time, a woman came over and said, "Xiao Chai, help me make two sets of Dahong Xialiang, and I will come back and deliver the goods to you for money."

"Hello sir." Xiao Chai bowed: "It was your wedding, right? I dare not ask for money, I will send it to you tomorrow."

When Zhao Yu saw the woman leaving, he asked dissatisfiedly: "Don't it take five days?"

The guy explained: "You don't know that she is the editor-in-chief of the Royal News, not only me, but also the gentleman of our shopkeeper. She originally had a wedding in May, but there were many things in the county. As soon as Song Jiang finished preparations, the emperor was transferred to the position of the adult. After finally calming down, Lord Ou was holding a sports meeting. So please feel free to see the cold, you have to make up for your work first."

Xiaoqing said in Zhao Yu's ear: "Sister, forget it, it's amazing that Ouyang asked us to design a few sets. Everyone wears them, wouldn't it look good?"

"That's right! Then forget it, man, let's take a look."

"Okay, sorry, you walk slowly."

"Yangping Goldware Flagship Store, full gold weight, avant-garde style..."

Xiaoqing asked, "Who, what is a flagship store?"

"If you go back to my wife," said a female friend: "Mr. Ou said that the so-called flagship store is the leader. Our Jin Store has branches in Shouzhou and Tokyo, so they can only call it Yangping Jinyi Tokyo Branch."

Xiaoqing asked: "What is this?"

"This is called a headband. It was designed by our Lord Ou. I'll try it on for you." The female friend picked up the headband made of sterling silver and put it on Xiaoqing, then took a bronze mirror for Xiaoqing to see.

Xiaoqing looked at the mirror and said happily: "Boss, come one."

"Okay! My wife looks at it again, there are also pure gold bracelets, which are thin but not vulgar."

"Sister, come and have a look, too." Xiaoqing greeted.

After entering the gold shop for half an hour, an inner guard took out a small bag. The female friend behind him said politely: "Let's go slowly, come again tomorrow."

"Three-colored rouge, purple is noble and elegant, red is elegant, orange is cute and innocent."

Zhao Yu leaned closer and asked, "Is this thing designed by Lord Ou again?"

"It's also a little bit of a relationship. Lord Ou said, don't always be red, can you be a little creative? Women's lips all over the street are red, monkey butts are red, and braised pork is red. So our shopkeeper thought hard and finally came up with other good-looking colors. This purple color was sold in Shouzhou the previous month, and this orange color is a new product. Should you try it?"

"Okay, give it a try."

...

"Minky shoulder patch..."

Before the guy could shout, Xiaoqing stretched out his head and asked, "Did you make this sable skin?"

The guy looked at Xiaoqing like an idiot and then replied for a long time: "The mink was made by him."

"Haha!" Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing with his mouth.

"I hate it." Xiaoqing's face turned red.

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I want it, two!"

...

Then there were women's leather boots, various wash water, skin care products, etc. The things purchased on the East Street were bought by two inner guards. The last inner guard couldn't help but remind him: "Officials, we are here to visit."

"..." Zhao Yu was stunned. Yes, he actually forgot about his purpose of coming to Yangping. He was not here to shop, but to investigate what Ouyang did. Zhao Yu looked at the sun and ordered at noon: "Find a place to eat first."

An Neiwei replied: "After walking along the way, all the restaurants and restaurants are basically full, it is better to find a house and give some money to stay and eat."

"You make arrangements."
