Chapter 499: If I rent your house, you still have to pay me!
Just when Lin Yuanjing was the last to know how awesome his son was, the awesome handsome boy brought An Daoquan and Lin San to the scene of the murder again, Happy Lin.
Lin San looked at the empty high platform, the blood had been washed away, and shrank his head: "Erlang, it always feels eerie here!"
An Daoquan looked at the bleachers on both sides that were being demolished. Thinking that the prosperous tile market came to an end in just three days with the death of one person, he couldn't help but sigh: "The tiles were restored when they came, and they were gone when they left."
Disintegration, it’s really easy to gather and disperse, it’s a depression!”
Li Yan didn't think it was a big deal: "There is a lot of money in Bianjing City. As long as it is in the inner city, there is no depressed place. What you see now is just a contrast, but this is also the best period for renting a house. The smell of wine
I am also afraid of the deep alley. If you want to show off what you have learned from your family history, you must have a bright and spacious shop. The one in Xiaotianshui Lane is too low-end..."
An Daoquan was sincerely grateful: "Brother, you have taken the trouble!"
Li Yan looked at this little brother who was only eight years older than him and smiled slightly: "Practicing medicine to save people and benefiting the people is a great kindness. Even if you and I don't know each other, if we meet, we will help someone."
Help, let alone now, let’s go!”
After turning around, Li Yan looked at Huifeng Tower, the restaurant where the Imperial Guards from Beijing invited him to eat beef, and walked in.
The shopkeeper greeted him with venomous eyes, and he immediately recognized this young master who had been surrounded by a group of forbidden troops before. He quickly asked Dr. Tea to greet him: "How do you do, sir? There is a private room on the third floor waiting for you, sir!"
Li Yan didn't fall into the consumption trap: "Just here, we just have something we want to talk to the shopkeeper about."
Dr. Tea stepped away, but the shopkeeper quickly came over after hearing this: "I wonder what the two guests have ordered?"
Li Yandao: "My brother has been a doctor for generations and has excellent medical skills. He wants to open a medical clinic here, but he is having a headache about renting the shop."
The shopkeeper was puzzled: "If you want to rent a house here, you should go to the 'shop housekeeper' or contact the 'zhuangzhaiyaren', why do you ask me?"
Li Yan smiled: "Because I don't want to be cheated."
The shopkeeper was startled, but he also started to laugh: "High-ranking officials speak directly. The 'housekeepers' are really cheating people now, let alone the 'housekeepers'."
As the name suggests, Dianzhaiwu is the administrative organ of the imperial court that manages the affairs of shops and homes. The reason for its emergence is that people from all over the country poured into Bianjing in large numbers and could not afford to buy houses, which led to the booming housing rental market.
Rising rents have made more and more people unable to afford rent and sleeping on the streets. Therefore, in order to stabilize society, the Northern Song Dynasty government introduced a "low-rent housing" policy and established shop and home services.
Yes, low-rent housing actually exists in Bianjing, where land is extremely valuable. This policy sounds very good, and it has indeed played a certain role. According to the records of "Song Huiyao Collection", in the first year of Tianxi
, the average rent of a low-rent house is about 500 Wen per month, and it dropped to 430 Wen per month in the third year of Tiansheng. The rent is indeed low-rent.
But it is a pity that it is no longer the case. The words of An Daoquan next to him hit the nail on the head: "When I first came to Bianjing, I wanted to rent a low-rent house, but failed. I thought it was because I was not qualified. Later, after asking around, I found out that I now live in a low-rent house.
Those in low-rent housing are precisely the people who don’t need to worry about rent..."
The people of Bianjing dared to talk about these topics. The shopkeeper snorted coldly when he heard this: "As soon as the low-rent houses came out, they were all taken away by the officials and distributed to relatives. The poor people had no hope until a disaster struck and Futian Courtyard became vacant.
, to take in those homeless people.”
Having said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I also understand what the officials mean. The price of renting a house during this period is definitely cheaper than before, but it is not that simple."
"All the houses here belong to the Shangqiu guild, even the land of Happy Forest. They are not easy people to deal with. Now that Happy Forest is closed, the losses are not small. If you are angry, contact them directly, maybe it will be the opposite.
The meeting will grow out of trouble.”
"In order to avoid trouble, it would be better for senior officials to find a 'Zhuangzhai Yaren'..."
As soon as he heard the name of Shangqiu Guild, An Daoquan's expression changed and he whispered: "Brother, this is the six major guilds in Beijing, why don't we just forget about it..."
The guilds of the Song Dynasty were more intricately organized than the chambers of commerce of the Tang Dynasty, because the latter was actually dependent on a separate high-ranking gentry clan and was of a white-glove nature, while the former was an organization established by many wealthy merchants gathered together.
The key is that the merchants of the Song Dynasty are different from the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. Due to the prosperity and development of the market economy, and the fact that the sons of merchants can take the imperial examination, their status has been greatly improved. The merchants of this era dared to take a stand in the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia.
Starting from the price, the existence of making ten times the profit from the court, as long as it is profitable, the merchants will squeeze out the last bit of flesh and blood, and they will also show their bloodthirsty fangs to anyone who dares to touch their profits.
The shopkeeper's words also secretly reminded that the people of Zhuangzhai Ya are actually raised by the guild. The market has already formed agreed upon rules. It seems that there are pitfalls everywhere, but there are some pitfalls that cannot be avoided without stepping on them.
Li Yan nodded slightly: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for your kind advice. I am just renting a house for my brother. I am not going against the guild. After all, they understand that cooperation will benefit both parties."
The shopkeeper was puzzled: "If we join forces, both sides will benefit?"
Li Yandao: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune. Happy Forest was too hot before, and the turmoil of this case may not be calmed down by people who are interested in publicizing it."
The shopkeeper sighed: "As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. This time we are indeed in an unforeseen disaster. The business here will indeed be depressed for a period of time."
Li Yandao: "It turns out that the main attraction here is the women's competition, so what if we can provide another attraction to regain popularity?"
The shopkeeper immediately reacted, looked at An Daoquan, and looked carefully: "What do you mean by the official, using the reputation of the medical clinic to drive the popularity of this place? It seems that this doctor does have amazing achievements, but there are many famous people in Beijing, so he needs
The time is still long..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yandao: "Normally speaking, no matter how superb medical skills are, it does take a certain amount of time to spread word of mouth, but isn't there just an opportunity now? We are ready to provide medical services to those who have been injured for a long time.
The doctor's daughter-in-law is here to see the doctor."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened and suddenly lit up: "Are you really sure?"
Li Yan looked at An Daoquan, and An Daoquan puffed up his chest: "I am willing to give full play to what I have learned!"
The shopkeeper said: "Okay! Then I will report it to my boss immediately!"
During the previous chat, this person spoke slowly and slowly, but now his steps were hurried and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In less than half an hour, a man wearing a brocade robe and a smart and capable face appeared in front of him. He raised his hands and saluted: "I am Zhang Yu, who is in charge of the Shangqiu Guild and has met high officials!"
Li Yan stood up and returned the courtesy with a calm face, but An Daoquan couldn't help being surprised. The stewards of the six major guilds were summoned by this small matter of renting a house?
An Daoquan didn't understand the key logic. Zhang Yuming knew that showing eagerness would give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of him, so he came quickly because of the huge benefits.
And Li Yan went straight to the point: "Manager Zhang is the one who can make the decision, so let's discuss the interests of this business district with the original Happy Forest as the center."
Zhang Yu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he deliberately smiled and said: "Isn't the official exaggerating a bit?"
Li Yan said calmly: "It's not an exaggeration at all. If only one Xiang had died, Happy Forest's business would not have plummeted like this."
"But with the death of Chief Xiang, the exploitation and oppression of female sumo wrestlers was completely revealed. Female sumo wrestlers are celebrities in the first place, and they have a group of fans, so the public sentiment is naturally exciting."
"Even if the people who didn't know about it originally, when they think about what happened to them, they will inevitably feel sympathy and sympathy, and it will also form a public opinion."
"Punishing evil and promoting good is the mainstream no matter which dynasty it is in. In the Song Dynasty, reputation is even more important. If this matter really gets serious, the imperial censor may go to the official office to get a copy. I guess your guild will have to stop the loss in time.
It’s sad to close the city.”
Zhang Yu's pupils contracted.
It is not difficult to understand this truth in plain terms, but it is not simple to analyze it in such a clear manner by combining all aspects of society.
And Li Yan continued: "Not only is the Wa Market gone, but the surrounding shops are also greatly affected. We can only leave it to time to dilute it, but if you think about it, the six major guilds in Beijing are competing with each other, except for the Daxiangguo Temple."
In addition to being unshakable, their respective commercial areas are all involved in huge interests. This matter affects the whole body, and perhaps the losses are not limited to this area..."
Zhang Yu couldn't stand listening anymore. If he continued to talk about it, the survival of their entire guild might lie in Happy Forest. He simply said: "Your Excellency said this, and we also believe in Dr. An. As long as he can really cure Nv Chi and restore his reputation,
We can definitely provide discounts on the rental costs of medical clinics.”
Li Yan looked at him: "How about signing a gambling agreement?"
Lin San looked surprised, but Zhang Yu didn't take it seriously: "It seems that high-ranking officials also like gambling. I don't know how to gamble?"
Li Yandao: "If we can cure Nvqi in a short time and cause a sensation, then the rent of the store will naturally not be mentioned. Your bank should give me this good brother a heavy reward. If we boast about Haikou but fail to realize it, then
Corresponding compensation is naturally deserved, but no matter what, your bank should provide Nvqi with proper accommodation."
Lin San breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be like this, Erlang was indeed Erlang.
Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes.
After working on it for a long time, you rent my shop and you don’t want to pay me, but you want to take money out of my pocket?
But he is worthy of being a veteran of the ups and downs of the business world. After thinking for a moment, he smiled: "Actually, the official will not say anything, but we are also prepared to ensure Nu Chi's future life. The official is kind-hearted, so this matter should be publicized more widely.
!”
Li Yan couldn't deny it: "Then sign it!"
Zhang Yu arrived in a hurry, but when it came time to sign the agreement, he was very cautious. It took him two hours to draft the agreement.
When he saw Li Yan signing his name, he was startled at first, and then he said with joy: "No wonder the official is so confident, it turns out it's Lin Erlang in person, it's better to see than to hear a hundred times!"
Li Yan said: "It's not like you've heard about it a hundred times, right?"
Zhang Yu said half-flattery and half-seriously: "I believe it won't be long before it really hits the ears. I'm not afraid of young master's jokes. I was quite nervous just now, but with Lin Erlang's name here, we will be happy even if we lose this gambling agreement."
!”
Of course I am happy. With the small profit of a shop, I have brought a commercial district back to life. The leader of the guild can laugh in his dreams tonight, so there has never been this moment. A businessman hopes that he will lose in gambling, but of course he will win.
You can make money even if you win, at least this attitude is shown.
Li Yan smiled: "I wish you a happy cooperation!"
Zhang Yu laughed: "I wish you a happy cooperation!"
This trip is worthwhile, the guild will win again!
