Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 33

The Liu family now has four houses, surrounded by a not-so-small yard, which was compacted and flattened with lime-concrete.

Next to the house, there are some tents and several bungalows under construction.

Liu Mu looked up at the sky, then glanced at the wooden pillar placed in the corner of the yard, then nodded to Sanniang Liu Rumei, Liu Rumei also glanced at the wooden pillar, then picked up a piece of iron and ran away Get out, run and shout, "Dinner at noon, dinner at noon."

Li Bi took the opportunity to run to his elder brother and said in a low voice, "The gentleman is Li Yaoshi's son. Just now the matchmaker heard that the Liu family had built a new house, so she came to ask for the dowry gift that the ex-in-law's family disliked Liu's poorness and gave up the marriage. .or get married again."

Li Ji didn't answer, and stared straight at the wooden pillar.

There is nothing special about the wooden pillar, but what is really magical is that there is a sundial on the top of the wooden pillar. Li Ji has seen this sundial. It was made by Tianguan Yuan Chong in the 14th year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, but it was placed flat on the ground. of.

But the one here is placed obliquely, facing the south direction.

Counting the time, it is exactly noon, and the shadow just falls on the center.

While Li Ji was in a daze, several earthenware pots had already been lifted out and placed on the ground. Some strong men came in one by one from outside the yard, each filled a big bowl with a big bowl, and squatted outside to start eating.

"Here are three meals a day, namely Chenshi, Wushi and Youshi." Li Bi explained again.

Li Ji signaled to Li Bi that there was no need to say any more, and pretended not to know him for the time being, and then brought Cheng Yaojin, who pretended to be dazed, to sit in the Hu chair in the courtyard.

Liu Mu and Qin Qiong were sitting together and talking.

"Brother Bao, I noticed just now that they stole a piece of third-class scented shampoo. It doesn't matter what the loss is. I was afraid that they might peek into our workshop. I asked just now. Fortunately, they didn't approach the workshop. , it seems that we will raise a few dogs in the future, and don't let idle people get close."

Liu Mu was talking to Qin Qiong, and everyone listened with pricked ears.

Qin Qiong nodded slightly: "Very good."

"Brother Bao, the weather is getting colder. It seems that we can't make much of our small coal stove. This time, we will follow the route that the rich and the rich have. We will sell it to the rich's home first. Naturally, we will give it to the Li family and General Qin first." Send it to the family, and I will keep a gift for myself."

"It makes sense." Qin Qiong agreed with Liu Mu's statement.

"The charcoal is a problem. Regarding the sales plan, I have three strategies." Liu Mu said again.

Li Bi jumped out straight away this time: "Xiaomu, although I can't beat you with fists and feet, I have never talked about you in terms of eloquence. But I am also too lazy to listen to your nonsense."

Li Ji really wanted to interrupt and tell his brother to shut up, even if Liu Mu was talking nonsense, he wanted to hear Liu Mu finish his sentence.

But who would have thought, Li Bi continued: "Every time you talk about the top, middle and bottom three strategies, the so-called middle and bottom two strategies are all nonsense, and you don't know how to use them at all, so you just talk about the best strategy."

"Okay, that's the best policy." Liu Mu patted the table lightly.

"Brother Li, Brother Xiaozheng, and Brother Laolang, the three of you will enter Chang'an tomorrow morning. My plan is that this time our regional agent plan will divide Chang'an City into four, namely East and West. In addition, the south of the city and the north of the city. These are the four major agents, and then the county-level agents around Chang'an. And the most important thing is to invite real big investors to buy shares. Monopolizing the Chang'an charcoal business is not something we small people dare to get involved in."

"Also, the perfume agent in Chang'an has to deal with it as soon as possible. This time, we will do it together."

"I don't understand." Li Bi was honest. If he didn't understand, he didn't understand. As a nobleman, he had received a good education, and he would never pretend to understand.

Liu Mu waved his hand: "Wait for me. Wait for me to go back to the house to get the kit."

When Liu Mu returned to the house, Qin Qiong said: "Fragrant wash is a very good, very excellent bathing thing for women. It is divided into first, second, third, and fourth grades. The number of first grades is very small and extremely precious, because it needs to be used. Precious spices and high-quality butter are only prepared in the palace."

"Then there is the second class, which is made of high-quality porpoise pure white suet, precious spices, etc., which can only be bought in Chang'an Xungui. The third class is made of miscellaneous oil, made of ordinary spices, etc., in Chang'an West City And Jingyang and Sanyuan counties have a small amount of sales, the price is 130 yuan per box of hardcover, the price of half a stone of high-grade corn, there is a price but no market. The fourth grade is used by ordinary people."

After listening to Qin Qiong's explanation, Li Ji understood.

The monopoly of coal that Liu Mu said is troublesome, and it is indeed troublesome if it is really a small person.

Everyone said Cheng Yaojin was stupid.But few people know that Cheng Yaojin is the real caring person.

Just seeing Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong sitting firmly, he will not be moved in the slightest.

Touching the business of incense washing, the business called charcoal, is equivalent to touching Qin Qiong's face. How could the power of the Wagang trio in Chang'an be a trifle? Xiaoxiao doesn't need any of them to come forward , any family will be underfoot.

Even if there are important people around, then with the Prince Qin's Mansion behind him, it's not just anyone who dares to mess around.

When Liu Mu came out of the house, Qin Qiong kept silent.

Liu Mu came out holding a rattan box and placed it heavily in front of Li Bi and Liu Zhengze: "You read these books at night, and you will act tomorrow after reading them. I promise that the young people in Chang'an will destroy them without us lifting half a finger. We can talk about important people, and things about interests are easy to discuss."

"Remember, the most important point is to tell those people that the Liu family is very poor, Liu Mu is a half-grown child, and the high-quality incense washers are tributes. Then let them guess, who is the real owner of this industry? As long as the rich and evil slaves are restrained, ordinary people will naturally be trampled to death."

There are bundles of straw paper in the rattan basket, and each piece of paper is filled with words.

"The poor do not eat your food for nothing. The poor are very popular in Chang'an City." Li Ji wanted to see what was written on those papers. He was curious, wondering why such a young man was so confident.

"This Taoist priest, I'm sorry. I said before, people from Jianghu, Jianghu Road, a meal is nothing." Liu Mu waved his hand very proudly, even if he felt that the visitor was unusual, he didn't accept it. talk.

Jianghu, this word Li Ji understands.

The earliest is from Zhuangzi, the Great Master, the original text: The spring is dry, the fish and the pair are in the land.It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to hold each other to wet each other and to moisten each other with foam.

It means: after the spring dried up, the two fish did not leave in time, and were trapped in a small depression on the land. The two fish could not move, and moistened each other with their mouth foam to keep each other moist.At this time, this situation is not as good as living freely in the rivers and lakes without knowing each other.

At this time, the rivers and lakes that Liu Mu mentioned refer to the loyalty of the green forest and the way of the green forest.
