What Pei Xingjian did is very consistent with his status as a Tang Dynasty person - grabbing market share is already the best way he can think of as a scholar-official to enrich Chang'an County.
Until now, Pei Xingjian still stubbornly believes that the amount of money is constant, it just depends on who has the ability to take more.
He even secretly believed that as long as Chang'an County took away more, Wannian County would take away less.
Chang'an County, where the West Market is located, is the largest trading market in Chang'an City. Whether it is the Hu people or merchants from the Tang Dynasty, the West Market will be regarded as a distribution center for goods.
The East City is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County. The biggest difference between this place and the West City is that the levels of customers are different.
Therefore, most of the goods here are closely related to luxury goods. Ordinary people do not come to the East Market to buy things, because even the same things are more than 20% more expensive in the East Market than in the West Market.
Because of the packaging of goods and store decoration, the East Market is more luxurious than the West Market. People with status like to come here to shop quietly and enjoy the services that come with shopping. They will accept that it is more expensive.
He has no identity and no money and still comes to Dongshi to buy things. He has always been one of the three fools rumored in Chang'an City.
Even if the goods in the East Market are expensive and the customers are rich, it is obviously unfair to compare the trading volume of a businessman selling luxury goods with a businessman selling bulk goods related to people's livelihood.
Merchants who sell luxury goods can be very famous, but as for sales volume, anyone who compares with bulk goods merchants is a fool.
The main reason why Yunchu had to be the county captain of Shanwannian County was that the small Qujiang River could no longer support the commercial prosperity of Jinchangfang.
Originally, in Yunchu's idea, Qujiangli produced grain, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, which were supplied to the big canteen, and then the big canteen fed money back to Qujiangli, forming a perfect closed business loop.
It's a pity that Qujiangli can't bear it. Not to mention food, even the supply of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese is far from enough.
The reason why Yun Chu went to Sinong Temple was to check if there were any good things in Sinong Temple that they had overlooked.
However, this possibility is not very high. In an era when a broken spinach can earn a title, any individual will understand the importance of food.
Sinong Temple is inside the imperial city. This time, there are not so many scholars taking exams, so Yunchu can ride a bay-red horse into the imperial city.
Looking at the low-level officials who need to hold up their signs in order to enter the imperial city, people like Yun Chu who ride straight into the imperial city on horseback are definitely the ones they need to look up to.
"Look, two years ago, we were guarding here together, waiting for Jin Wu guards to search their crotches before entering the imperial city. Now, the door is open to others. Look at those dirty Jin Wu guards. They are almost bent over.
Broken."
"It's better to stop talking about this person's rumors. The two white bones hanging on the lotus pond in Dongshi are people of your status."
"Speaking of bones, I heard that Yun County Lieutenant was actually worried that the bones of the corpse would fall off, so he specially connected the various parts of the bones with iron bars, just to shock people."
"What do you think is wrong with Chang'an County and Wannian County? The officials serving in these two places are more cruel than the last.
I heard that Chang'an County is also conducting a thorough investigation now. Let's check the account books from three years ago. County Magistrate Pei is not a forgiving person. Just look at it. As long as the Malu is found, it is estimated that by the water canal on the West Market,
I’ll also hang a few.”
"In my opinion, people who have come down from the army, especially those who can move freely among millions of troops, should not serve as local officials.
Apart from killing people, they have no other good means to govern the place. If you don’t believe it, look at Han Gong from Linyuan County, Qizhou. He rides a donkey to study and goes into the mountains. When he gets there, he will be killed by the local gangsters.
Come on, the banditry that has plagued Linyuan County for decades has been eliminated in one day.
If you ask me, this is the real local official... The government office is a place where everyone eats and works, so why make it look like the underworld."
Yun Chu had long been used to these words. When Guan was a child, he could stand with everyone and curse and comment on Shangguan.
Now that I am a Shangguan, I see things from a different angle, and the position under my butt is also different, so naturally I can no longer talk nonsense with them.
Yun Chu also knew about the Han Gong they were talking about. He didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but he actually rode a donkey into the mountains to recruit the bandits. As a result, he was tied up in the mountains by the bandits for six full days.
I heard Wen Wen said that after his family redeemed him with money, he breathed more than a dead person.
I don’t know how it was spread, but it turned into a romantic legend belonging to the literati.
Sinong Temple is located on Chengtianmen Street. In front are You Wuwei and You Xiaowei, and behind you are You Lingjunwei and Youweiwei.
The reason why there are military camps in front and behind is that there is a farmland belonging to the boss in Sinong Temple.
Sinong Temple is a large yamen, with one Qing and one Shaoqing each as the two chiefs. The subordinate officials include five chief ministers and chief bookkeepers, recorders, etc., who lead Taicang, dianong, pingzhun, Linshi, Goudun, and Hua
Lin, Shanglin, director and other departments.
Yun Chu really wanted to meet the brother-in-law of the most powerful founder of the Western Region, who was the minister of Sinong Temple. Unfortunately, he was a real third-rank official. If Yun Chu, a seventh-rank official, wanted to meet him, he had to submit a post half a month in advance.
Then depending on the mood of the boss, you can choose to see him or not.
Fortunately, the people we were dealing with this time were officials from the Forestry Department, and everyone was a seventh-grade official, so it was easy to deal with.
The boss of the forestry department is a guy named Lin Ziping. He looks as dark as a real farmer. This guy's skin is shiny and shiny. He is so black that he was not included in the song about who is darker.
Poetry is really due to the author's lack of rigor.
"Don't blame Yunxian Lieutenant. Brother Yu just came back from Lingnan. He went to the forestry department and worked so hard that everyone fell down. Three people died of dysentery, and the funeral arrangements were not properly arranged.
In the Shanglin Bureau now, everything is so confusing that there is no clue. If you want to handle official business, you have to come back two months later from the Laoyun County Lieutenant."
Yun Chu cupped his fists and saluted, "Oh my, I didn't expect Brother Lin to have just returned from Lingnan. It's been hard work, hard work, but I'm not sensible. I'm sorry to come here and cause trouble at this time."
But I don’t know why you need my brother to go to Lingnan?"
"A doctor of agriculture from the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion wrote a letter saying that a kind of rice that can be harvested twice or even three times a year has been discovered in Jiaozhou. No, after an edict, Brother Yu took seventeen people from the Forestry Department with him.
The doctor walked for half a year to Jiaozhou, then walked from Jiaozhou for half a year and back again."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "My little brother once heard from Paoze, a soldier in the army who returned from Annan, that the rice there is all wild rice. The savages in Annan are stupid. They harvest rice whenever they see it. There has never been such a thing as planting rice."
Lin Ziping smiled bitterly and said: "It's true. Rice is just a weed in other people's homes. No one eats the mature rice, so it rots in the ground. Then it sprouts and continues to grow rice. Isn't it ripe three times a year?
It's not just rice. There are also strange trees growing there. There are endless fruits on the trees. The fruit trees bloom, bear fruit, and mature at the same time. When you finish eating the ripe fruits, they are growing.
The fruit is ripe again, and after repeated repetitions, the rice is really nothing.
There is also a kind of fruit tree with extremely large leaves. Fruits the size of a human head hang on the tree. If you cut them down, you will open them and drink them. There will be cool syrup inside. After drinking the syrup, there will be white pulp again.
Can satisfy hunger.
Damn it, if I lived there, I wouldn't plant crops. The county captain also knows that growing crops is never an easy job.
This is how different people have different fates. A large group of people who know poetry, etiquette, and etiquette can only grow so much food after bending their backs due to fatigue, but over there a group of monkey-like people can’t even compare to weeds.”
It can be seen that the man in front of me is really tortured by the climate in Lingnan and has become a little crazy.
A group of eighteen people went, but only fifteen came back. It seemed that this man was risking his life on this official trip.
Yunchu also went to Jiaozhou back then, but the way he went to Jiaozhou was completely different from the way the old man in front of him went to Jiaozhou. He arrived right after he woke up after sleeping, took a short rest back to the hotel, and immediately had a sumptuous meal on land and water.
Welcomed by the unique style of Jiaozhou women singing and dancing.
However, there is still a big difference.
This man can do whatever he wants in Jiaozhou and take whatever he likes from home. Even murder is commonplace. Unlike when he went to Jiaozhou back then, he would be detained and fined for taking even a piece of volcanic stone.
"I wonder if this Jiaozhou double-cropping rice can be planted near Chang'an?" Yun Chu thought for a moment and asked carefully.
Lin Ziping said in surprise: "The county captain wants to plant double-cropping rice in Wannian County?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "I know that the heat near Chang'an may not be enough throughout the year. Will it not mature if I plant it here?"
Lin Ziping laughed and said: "As long as you raise seedlings in a greenhouse, you can actually plant two seasons in Chang'an in five months."
"Warming sheds for raising rice seedlings? You mean there were warm sheds for raising rice seedlings in the Tang Dynasty?" After hearing Lin Ziping's words, Yunchu almost jumped up in surprise. He always thought that this skill was his exclusive secret.
"There's one in Shanglinyuan."
"Can I take a look?"
"What's wrong? It's just that Brother Yu has to rush to his colleague's home to express condolences, so he can't accompany you there. I have my Shanglinyuan waist badge here, so the county captain can go on his own."
This is a good person with a solid eye. When Yunchu took the sign from others, he naturally handed it to others with a sign that represented himself and could eat at will in the cafeteria.
This is called reciprocity.
This is good. Yun Chu knows the meaning of entering Shanglin Garden, and Lin Ziping also knows the meaning of taking his colleagues to the big canteen for a big meal and a drink.
Naturally, I was reluctant to leave when I said goodbye.
At this time, Lin Ziping was thinking about how to bring more people to the big canteen to have a delicious meal.
But Yunchu was thinking whether he could drive the carriage into Shanglin Garden tomorrow and collect all the good things inside.
A true compromise.
