Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 462 The Wonderful Journey to Kaifeng City ([-])

After Du Baojun collected his mood and returned to normal, it was almost a quarter of an hour later.

Or to put it another way, that is, as a qualified businessman, this guy has recovered his true colors when it comes to the critical moment of business.

After the noble concubine made a speech hoping that everyone would be loyal and brave to the country, and be a good businessman in the Song Dynasty.

The new product recommendation meeting this time immediately entered the scene of drama.

Under the guidance of the imperial concubine, a group of pretty faces, graceful figures, and decent manners came in carrying exquisite plates covered with red silk and made of rosewood like flowing water.

With a click of '唰～', Qiqi lifted the red silk on it, revealing the true face of these new products.

And the noble concubine and the daughter-in-law are also bragging like a lotus flower.

wrong!It should be introduced one by one.

"Everyone, please see that this kind of item called glasses is made of rare transparent crystals, which are carefully polished by master craftsmen; if they are worn, they are specially used to treat symptoms such as old eyes and dizziness.

If a wealthy family has related eye diseases, they will definitely spend a lot of money to buy it.

It's just that the materials for this item are rare, and it takes a master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry three months to polish one pair reluctantly, so the quantity is not many, and there are only ten pairs for sale at present.

Each person is limited to two pairs at most, and the next batch will have to wait until after January~”

"This thing is called perfume, as long as you smear a little on your body, the fragrance will linger throughout the day, which is much stronger than traditional incense and powder.

It is simply a must-have product for literati and refined scholars when they go out to discuss poetry and poetry~”

"This thing is called Burning Knife Spirits..."

In the one-by-one narration of the imperial concubine, Du Baojun completely ignored the face of the imperial concubine and the big murderer; as his mind turned rapidly, he began to seriously care about every new product.

It is analyzed whether these novel goods can be sold if they are brought back to the Jiangnan area; if the purchase price and the expenses along the way are removed, how much can they earn, etc.

It turned out that it was okay not to analyze it, but after analyzing it, he was surprised to find something.

Whether it is the kind of glasses that are specially used to treat the eye diseases of the elderly, or the perfume that should only be used by women and rabbits, these are novelties that have never been seen before.

It is some pure steel that is not rare for them at all.

Because of the astonishingly low price of the Commerce Department, as long as it is brought back along the way, it will at least be able to earn five times the profit.

No matter where it is placed, it can be regarded as a good business.

It's just that compared with those glasses, perfume, soap, glass and other items, it seems that the profit is not big.

Then, some bigger questions come?Du Baojun quickly glanced around, and if he could find what he could think of, the others would naturally think of it too.

In the huge hall, the other more than 100 merchants all had fanaticism on their faces, and there was a posture of buying and buying.

It's still the kind of goods that not only have to be transported this time, but all the goods from the Commerce Department have to be traded, and even the money they carry has to be spent.

So with such a large purchasing power, the Department of Commerce claims that it takes several months to make one piece of treasure, is the quantity enough?
Sure enough, such worries soon became reality.

In the mouths of the people shouting, "Give me twenty sets of glasses", "I want a hundred bottles of perfume, I want 1000 yuan for soap", "I want all the glasses, and I can double the price" middle.

The imperial concubine and concubine who had been sitting on the grand master's chair drinking tea with an impeccable manner and a straight back.

After putting down the teacup in his hand, he said to everyone:

"Everyone, please calm down. Regarding the products that you value so much from the Department of Commerce, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of the imperial court. It's just that the quantity of the goods is limited, and I'm afraid that even [-]% of the quantity you request can not be satisfied."

After hearing this, countless people in the hall looked anxious, and they were ready to go all out and come up with a high price.

Anyway, there is only one of these good things, and after buying it back, it is nothing more than selling it at a higher price.

However, after the noble concubine and daughter-in-law looked at everyone with a smile for a while, in the following time, she opened her mouth and gave everyone a choice:

"The so-called no rules, no rules.

Considering that most of the goods you buy back are the same, the imperial court will inevitably have vicious competition with each other, not to mention hurting each other's friendship, and it will also lose the reputation of the imperial court's business department.

So I decided to implement the law of monopoly in that area starting today.

That is to say, all the utensils produced by the Commerce Department can only be sold exclusively by one merchant in each region; other merchants in the same region cannot get them if they want to buy from the Commerce Department.

Therefore, the imperial court decided to auction the exclusive right to sell this kind of area every two years, and the one with the highest price above the reserve price would get it.

If you are willing to participate, you may wish to come up and make a registration, and then the auction will begin.

Considering the news that you may have just heard, the money and food in hand may be a little insufficient.

No problem!As long as you can pay more than [-]% of the deposit, it will be fine in the remaining two months; the Commerce Department does not charge money, only some money, grain, cloth, large animals and other dozens of materials, but it can be calculated using the price of Kaifeng City .

However, if such a time limit is exceeded, all deposits will be confiscated, and the exclusive franchise will be re-auctioned~
In addition, if necessary, the workshops that produce the above products will be relocated to the south of the Yangtze River; you don't have to worry, this monopoly will only last for a few months. "

The idea of ​​moving to the south of the Yangtze River in the end, although the noble concubine and the daughter-in-law said it a bit cryptically.

But where the crowd couldn't hear it, it was to reassure everyone that they don't have to worry about the threat of the Jinren.

Even if the Jin people came again and Kaifeng City couldn't resist it, it was nothing more than transporting the craftsmen to the south of the Yangtze River in advance, and relying on the Yangtze River's natural protection, everyone's business can continue.

After hearing this, Du Baojun couldn't help but looked around again.

Immediately, he could see the indescribable firmness in the eyes of everyone around him.

really!Everyone present is counted as one, and they are naturally not good at doing business for this sake.

It can't be seen, as long as you seize such a franchise right, you don't have to worry about the lack of supply halfway; in the next two years, you can make a lot of money even if you lie down.

So in Du Baojun's heart, he immediately made up his mind. At the upcoming auction, he must get as many franchise rights as possible in Huzhou and the surrounding Lin'an area.

******
It was around 05:30 that afternoon.

Du Baojun with a complicated complexion came out of the business department rubbing his temples very tiredly.

The reason is that there will be such a situation.

It was at such a time now that the official auction of the exclusive franchise rights of the Commerce Department in various places was over.

In such a process, Du Baojun used all the cloth and silk delivered this time, plus all the belongings he brought, to sell several times.

By paying a [-]% deposit first, and then making up the balance within the specified time, a total of [-] products in the Huzhou area and two products in the Lin'an area were auctioned off.

During the bidding process, the competition was too fierce, and the money was completely worthless like tiles and stones.

Du Baojun was under tremendous pressure, but the obscene pants that made him fit were now wet with sweat.

Fortunately, everything is finalized now, just wait for him to return to Huzhou as soon as possible, raise more money, food and cloth after raising money, make up for the property owed, and completely win these franchise rights.

correct!As for goods such as cloth and grain, you need to bring more when you come here.

On the one hand, it is to buy some new products from the Commerce Department to make money after the sale.

On the other hand, what if some merchants around the Huzhou area are unable to make up the owed property for a while because of certain things?It is reasonable to take the opportunity to win.

It's just that at this moment, Du Baojun, who was eager to go out of the city and take a boat back to Huzhou, didn't set off overnight.

It was to celebrate the successful holding of today's auction. The Department of Commerce will hold a banquet in Fanlou to entertain all the participants; the concubine and husband will also be present at that time.

In this way, Du Baojun can only leave early tomorrow morning.

Not to mention the imperial concubine and concubine, whether it is appearance, figure, small taste, etc., after being seen by others, it is very ticklish.

More importantly, as a businessman, Du Baojun's mentality of befriending key people and making things easier in the future is at work.

It's just that when Du Baojun hurried back to the inn where he lived, Zhunbai planned to freshen up and dress up.

His literary talents may not be outstanding in other places, but compared to other merchants, he, a formerly famous talent in Huzhou area, will definitely be able to win the limelight.

Maybe it will be a beautiful time to be treated differently by the noble concubine and daughter-in-law.

I don't know, but at the moment it is in the back hall of the Commerce Department.

The imperial concubine, looking at the latest statistical report in front of her, can no longer care about elegance and dignity when she is alone.

He completely let himself go, and smiled so much...

For such a performance, it seems that the concubine can't be blamed.

Who is Hu Biao, who rushed to the street to die, actually put such a heavy burden on her body.

To know!The city of Kaifeng, which had just been robbed by the Jin people, lacked everything except a bunch of people; plus after the autumn harvest, it was time to fight the Jin people.

Therefore, in terms of hundreds of materials such as cloth, grain, war horses, large livestock, medicinal materials, and raw lacquer, it can be said that everything is urgently needed, and the quantity is amazing.

Even at today's auction, after all the materials auctioned are in place, there is still a huge gap in the overall terrifying demand.

But anyway, today is clearly an excellent start.

After all, in the plan, there are still dozens of products in their commercial department that have not been released; after half a month, there is an auction, and the life is gradually getting looser.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, their method of auctioning the exclusive rights of the region has some other calculations.

Which of these wealthy merchants in various places in the Song Dynasty is not a family with inextricable connections in the local area, like a snake-like family.

This kind of regional monopoly is completely driven by interests, binding them to the new court of the Song Dynasty.

It's basically a conspiracy that kills two birds with one stone, and they can't refuse it at all, okay?For the sake of profit, they did not allow Queen Maude's new court to be wiped out by Jinren or others.

After thinking of all the above, under the rare mood of relaxation, the concubine, the concubine, began to want to do some work.

As for how to get around, she soon had an idea in her mind.

joke!Every traveler in ancient times basically couldn't escape burning glass to make money, throwing out some classic poems in front of people to pretend to be forceful.

She had burned the glass a long time ago, and now it should be her turn to pretend to be a talented woman.

The only problem is that they are in a group wear mode, and this time they have traveled through a bunch of people; most of the people in the team have thought of this and want to pretend to be a great talent or something.

Over the past 5000 years, some of our family's related works are naturally as numerous as the vast sea.

The crux of the problem is that the poems about planting flowers reached their peak in the Tang and Song dynasties.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, such a time.

The top group of people such as Li Taibai and Su Dongpo have been born for many years, and their related works naturally cannot be plagiarized.

Later in history, although there are many masters.

Although there are quite a few famous poems that can be remembered by these bastards, it seems that there are not enough points for so many people.

For example, the imperial concubine just vaguely remembers it.

Hu Biao, who wears a butcher's knife on his waist every day and rides a big green donkey, has already thrown out a lot of Nalan Ci and Cangyang Gyatso.

It is also a similar love poem of "the world is safe and secure, and you will not fail the Tathagata and not fail the Qing".

It can be said that the poems of these two relatively famous masters have been occupied in advance.

That little white-collar worker with bushy eyebrows and big eyes copied a lot of works by Xin Qiji and Li Qingzhao even when he was on Cooking Bread Mountain.

Why are there so many gentlemen in the team.

As a result, Queen Maode, why didn't she talk to them about poetry and songs on weekdays, but she only found AT, the little boy?

There is a reason, okay? The former Xin Qiji's works made AT seem to have a noble temperament of worrying about the country and the people; the latter Li Qingzhao's works are all about his daughter's concerns.

The combination of the two, one strong and the other soft, is completely astonishingly powerful as Wang Zha, okay?
In addition to the battle scene where AT was cooking cakes and holding a shield like a mountain in front of him that day; it is completely normal that the little sister-in-law of Queen Maode couldn't stand it.

Xu Feng, that greasy old man.

It is stinky and shameless, occupying the works of Yang Wanli, Lu You, Tang Bohu and others.

Can you imagine how weird it is for a greasy middle-aged man to stab the golden men to death one by one while waving a horse lance, while yelling "Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu"?
In addition, there are warehouse management, old snake, singer, soldier, Erpang, war dog, Fenghuahui, Barong, etc. They also have some different targets.

In short, these bastards are completely organized to commit crimes.

After dividing into two, three, or even more different goals, everyone will remember that in the era after the Northern Song Dynasty, the works of famous poets and poets were basically divided up.

Some other good works are left, of course there are still a lot left.

But you can't let the concubine be such a girl.

Let's take out some of the "cherish Qin Huang Han Wu, slightly lost literary talent; Tang Zong Song Zu, a little less coquettish; a generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, who only knows how to bend bows and shoot big eagles"?
Now that this classic song is brought out, it is too scary. She is a girl who really can't help herself.

In the end, as long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.

After thinking about it for about five or six minutes, the imperial concubine got a wonderful inspiration from the large number of time-travel novels she had read over the years.

I saw that after she picked up the brush, she wrote down some things from memory that she planned to throw out at the banquet later, intending to surprise everyone's eyes.

Shanglian: In calligraphy and painting, the dragon does not sing, the tiger does not roar, and the little scholar is ridiculous.

Upper couplet: Yansuo Pond Willow
The first couplet: The Eight Great Kings of Qin, Se and Pipa are on top.

But in general, the imperial concubine is also aware that in the field of ancient culture, pairings are nothing more than small ways.

In the following time, after biting her bullet, she wrote the song "Zhongshan was turned green by the wind and rain, and a million soldiers crossed the river".

It's just changing 'Dajiang' to 'Yellow River'.

After that, what I was waiting for was to find an opportunity to throw it out at the banquet, and put a round one on it...

That night, the dinner hosted by the Department of Commerce at the best restaurant in Kaifeng, 'Fanlou', was very successful; of course, this point was aimed at the girl, the imperial concubine.

On the one hand, that's her in all her costumes.

That pair of brand new fishnet socks made all the old SPs from the Northern Song Dynasty envious, but they couldn't do anything.

On the other hand, look at those old SPs who are thinking hard.

She knew that her reputation as a talented woman was completely confirmed after these couples and that poem spread.

For the businessmen who attended the meeting, it was a bit disappointing.

After all, this is a banquet hosted by the Imperial Commerce Department, and it is impossible for a group of prostitutes from Washe to play and fight with them unscrupulously.

So, there is still a quarter of an hour before Zi time, which is 11 o'clock in the evening.

When Du Baojun followed a group of merchants out of the fan building in a dense manner.

Just after walking out of the gate, a voice yelled in the crowd: "Everyone, I know that there is a good cottage not far away, and the young lady in it can not only watch but also eat.

Why don't I wait for another drink, how about I don't get drunk tonight? "

After hearing such a suggestion, all the old SPs in the Northern Song Dynasty suddenly became like a cloud of followers.

They did spend almost all their money during the auction of the drilling rights during the day; but there was not much money left, referring to the high price for auctioning the drilling rights.

If it is only used for eating, drinking and having fun, it is enough to use it for a considerable period of time.

It's just that after hearing such a suggestion, Du Baojun hesitated in his heart...
