I still remember that when the newspaper was first founded, everyone thought it was just a money-losing thing. Who knew that people would buy even a small booklet for a penny, and that random advertisements inserted in the newspaper would make astonishing profits.
Not only are the profits astonishing, but advertising spaces are in short supply!
Just like last time, two brothels, Liuxiangge and Chunfenglou, fought over the advertising space in brochures and competed to raise prices.
Moreover, the advertisements published in newspapers targeting different groups of people are also different. The newspaper advertisements targeting poor people all over the world are about which buns are delicious and which pens, inks, paper and inkstones are discounted and are affordable.
However, all the interspersed advertisements in the brochure have been deleted, and they are all concentrated on the last page, which will not have any impact on the user's reading experience. Moreover, these are all luxury goods and are expensive.
Which gold bracelet, jade dish or glass cup is better? Which rouge and gouache is better?
Of course, which brothel's oiran is more... moist...
Moreover, the advertising page is printed extremely beautifully.
It is such a thing that anyone who starts it will lose money, but now it has turned into a business with minimum investment and maximum return.
Look, this is Brother Xu!
In the past, Xiao Ye still remembered that Brother Xu would complain to him from time to time: his boss, the county magistrate, had cheated him again, and his father had cheated him again!
Only now did Xiao Ye understand that when Brother Xu said others cheated him, it was just because Brother Xu's earnings did not meet his own expectations.
Losing money? It doesn’t exist!
Take the former Yong'an County Magistrate as an example: he lost his wages for three months, and once he was not reimbursed for solving a case, something magical happened. Two days later, his boss's house became his own, and he didn't spend a penny.
, from the dilapidated courtyard to the magistrate's mansion.
Later on, his daughter was deceived, did he suffer?
Let’s talk about the father’s side: He who lost this and lost money directly used the money from the court to set up the Guoshangyuan, but the business couldn’t expand? The government helped expand the business to the entire Chu State, and also won the title of a county magistrate.
I heard that I got a transfer order from the third guard a few days ago.
What's even more frightening is that his little sister is still determined to leave with him. After all, does Brother Xu suffer a loss?
Xiao Ye has never seen anyone so good at doing business in his life!
From that moment on, Xiao Ye realized that if he followed Brother Xu for the rest of his life, he would not have to worry about having no money to spend!
Xiao Ye felt that he could always trust Brother Xu’s vision!
In the entire Chu State, no one knows how to do business better than Brother Xu!
You may make a small profit, but Brother Xu will never lose money!
the other side
The conversation between Xu Qing and Taoist Master Chunyang is coming to an end. The National Business Council's dispatching ability is still very scary. As long as it is finalized, the infrastructure can be started very quickly.
Taoist Master Chunyang still had some things that needed to be moved to the Chunyang Taoist Temple on Zhongshan Mountain, so he left because it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.
Originally, Xu Qing wanted to call some people to help Taoist Chunyang, but Taoist Chunyang refused.
After sending the person away, Xiao Ye quickly said goodbye and left, continuing to work as his street boy. Recently, Xiao Ye's mood was getting better and better.
I heard that his father hasn't spanked him in almost a month, so it's normal for him to be a little bit agitated.
The most important thing is that now Xiao Ye has finally found a suitable target to beat up. Now Xiao Ye's search scope is mainly among the major gambling houses in Beijing, especially those rich and powerful children who like to beat up cheaters.
The children of the rich and powerful all cried. This world is too difficult. We don't allow bullies to bully others or rob people's girls. Now we have to control them even when they play cards and make money.
When playing cards, Qianguan doesn't even care about the "Laws of Dachu". That's his own responsibility. Why does he, Xiao Ye, even care about this?!
Will they have to control them when they go to a brothel in the future?!
Does this still allow the dandy to live?
When Xu Qing returned home, she was still murmuring and calculating, alas, we lost again...
…
In the morning of the next day, Xu Qing met King Xian when he was planning a rice paper workshop in the National Business Institute.
Xian Wang walked into the duty room, looked at the pen and paper on Xu Qing's desk, and said casually: "Didn't you study the secret book?"
Xu Qing stood up and heard this sentence, and a slightly embarrassed look suddenly appeared on his face: "Ahem... the research is over..."
After an awkward opening remarks, the Xian King explained the purpose of his visit. Now that the training of the Shadow Guards was completed, he could start checking the accounts.
It's quite new to have a shadow guard who majors in accounting come to check the accounts. Of course, the shadow guard is also new.
Xu Qing looked at King Xian and said: "Your Majesty, even if the shadow guards find something, they may have destroyed all the incriminating evidence last time, and someone may have even found a scapegoat.
A bunch of numbers on the account can't convict them, right?"
After hearing what Xu Qing said, the wise king said naturally: "Why do I need evidence to convict them?"
When Xu Qing heard this, he looked at Xian Wang with his eyes frozen.
The wise king said: "Have you ever heard of the saying that if the king wants his minister to die, he will have to die?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "I've heard of it."
The wise king looked at Xu Qing and said, "Do you think this sentence reflects the loyalty of the ministers?"
Xu Qing: "Isn't it?"
Wise King: "No, this sentence reflects the king's ruthlessness!"
King Xian sat down on a chair beside him and gestured to Xu Qing to sit next to him. Xu Qing also walked over and sat down.
King Xian said: "You might as well assume that if there is corruption and bribery, and the evidence is destroyed to find a scapegoat, I will transfer him to be the Sima of Yongzhou, will he dare not to go?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "Of course I wouldn't dare."
The wise king in the entire Chu Kingdom was the greatest, and his words were much more effective than the emperor's.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the wise king and he said: "What if he dies of illness on the road, or is intercepted and killed by horse bandits, or perhaps dies after arriving in Yongzhou due to acclimatization?"
When Xu Qing heard Xian Wang's words, his face instantly turned pale. Yes, why did Xian Wang need to provide evidence when he killed someone? Is it okay if you don't like it?!
Moreover, why do I always feel that King Xian is quite proficient in this business?
The King Xian said: "Of course, it is not limited to these. You can also let Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment judge according to law. For example, even if the money has been hidden in the case, but when I asked the shadow guards to search, there happened to be nothing in the courtyard.
A baggage filled with gold was found in the wing, do you think this is possible?"
Xu Qing was silent for a moment, and finally said: "That's it."
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing and said: "Xu Qing, although you are as comfortable as a fish in water in the business world, you are still as childish as a three-year-old child in the officialdom. Don't be carried away by the many adults in the court talking about your juniors one after another.
This ignores the rough waves beneath the water."
"Don't trust anyone in the officialdom, except of course the king."
Xu Qing: "..."
It seems that among so many people, you are the least trustworthy, right?
