Huaiyu first practiced Jin Gong Gang to warm up, and then practiced with the four-sided gold mace given by Qin Qiong. The mace was too heavy, so he had to practice with the mace in both hands.
Father Wu stood aside and watched for a while, pointed out a few points where the strength was inappropriate, and then began to practice boxing. Even though he was old, his punches were still whistling and windy.
Huaiyi was practicing swordsmanship. During his vacation, the heavy weapons such as the Changyi Sword were in the arsenal of the camp. He only had the Huanshou Hengdao beside him, so he carried the three-foot-long Hengdao there to chop. Although the Hengdao
It is light and short, but it can be cut with great force in his hands.
On the other hand, Fatty Wu got a mutton leg bone from nowhere when he got up in the morning and sat on the porch gnawing on it, while young Wu Xuanxi was reading.
Huaiyu regarded the golden mace as a sledgehammer. Although the twenty-four moves taught by Qin Qiong could not be used together, the whistling wind carried the wind. If they really hit each other, they would probably die or be disabled. The six-pound mace, Huaiyu thought it was a sledgehammer.
European two-handed swords can also be used.
A heavy sword has no edge, and a heavy sword has no workmanship.
After half an hour of morning exercise, I was covered in sweat.
Run Niang came over to help wipe away the sweat gently and considerately, "Breakfast is ready, go and have a quick meal."
"We'll leave tomorrow. We'll go to the East and West markets later to buy medicine, and by the way, we'll also buy some things for home. You can take them back tomorrow, Aye." Huaiyu planned to stay in Chang'an for the time being and open Qianjintang first. He also suggested
The third child, Huai Liang, was left behind, and Run Niang was allowed to supervise his studies first. After the Wu School opened, he happened to be studying here.
The fat man was very eloquent and said that they were willing to contribute to Dongshi. As long as the project price was very low, they were willing to clean up the wasteland for Dongshi.
She asked Runniang to help buy gifts for Mrs. Liu, the eldest sister, her two nieces and the younger sister. There were beautiful floral cloths, headbands, and several hairpins and other jewelry. She even gave them to the second and third sisters who she had never met.
I also bought a few of each.
The fat man became interested and said, "Just give it a try. He will go directly to the city department to order it."
He said that he didn't need to waste money on shopping and wanted to go back with Hou San directly. Huaiyu kept him anyway, and Runniang over there also handed over the title deed to the twenty acres of irrigated land in Lijiazhuang that the Li family had given her as a dowry.
He said, "When Aye returned to Sanyuan, he went to Lijiazhuang to collect the twenty acres of land for planting, and he also had a working cow."
Three large shops connected together will be thirty meters wide and three meters deep, which is a total of ninety square meters. Although you will have to build your own shop by then, at least you won't have to pay for the land.
"Let's go, put the things back in Huaiyuanfang, and then go to Dongshi."
As soon as the market drum sounded in the afternoon of the Western Market, they lined up at the front of the queue at the entrance of the square and entered the market directly.
Fatty asked Huaiyi to advertise, sell Qianjintang's medicine, and take some orders. He even promised Huaiyi to give him a commission reward for the order.
The fat man looked at him curiously, "What's the best way to do this?"
"Brother, I think it's better for us to buy waste land here and hire people to build it ourselves. Then we can lay it out according to our needs. I took a look and it's very cost-effective and can save a lot of money. Before the shop is built, we will build it first
Huaiyuan Fangli Pharmaceutical."
Runniang was in charge of the accounting room, and Lao Liu was in charge of the warehouse. One accountant and the other cashier had more than 1,500 pieces of silk. The two of them carefully counted and recorded the items and stored them in the warehouse.
The shopkeeper, Xin Zhao, looked at those silks and his eyes lit up.
Lao Wu planned to go home after breakfast. He was not very used to Chang'an, but he still liked Longqiao Fort on the Qinghe River, his cave dwellings and land.
"That won't work, one size will be the same." Fatty also insisted on giving Huaiyu a commission for bringing goods.
"That's no problem. It's appropriate to publicize good things. As for giving me money, there's no need for it. Erlang is my brother. It's okay for me to help with our business."
Fatty Wu also asked his entourage to go back to the Xuancheng mansion in Jinchengfang early in the morning, but he brought money and silk, and brought more than 800 pieces of silk.
"That's all the shop space we have now. There is some open space next to the medicine store. You can buy it and it's not expensive. But you have to hire people to build the shop floor yourself, which is too time-consuming."
If Huaiyu can really do this, it means that he can get a piece of land for free in the East Market. The total area of the East Market is about 1,800 acres, occupying two squares. The tic-shaped street divides the East Market into a nine-square grid.
, each grid is further divided into cross streets, where various businesses gather for business.
The two of them were very excited when they looked at these silks, which was a good sign of a good start.
This price is only a little more than half of the normal project price.
Huaiyu bought a scarf and a new belt for his father. Lao Wutou said it was a waste of money and was very happy in his heart.
In the warehouse, there were more than 1,500 pieces of silk piled up.
The fat man asked Zhao Xin to come forward and sign a contract on behalf of Qianjintang. If the land could not be cleared within three months, he would be willing to pay 300 bolts of silk as compensation. After signing the contract, he would pay 300 bolts of silk as a deposit.
Officials from the East City Department said that land was very cheap, and the City Department also encouraged businessmen to buy land to build houses and shops. Now that it is lying there, it is just a piece of waste land.
The drug stores in Dongshi Pharmacy are relatively small because of the abandoned land. Except for those famous large drug stores that operate with several shops together, most of them are three meters wide.
There are small shops of ten square meters with a depth of about three to ten meters, and there are also three shops of thirty square meters combined.
This is the first time even Father Wu has seen so many silks piled together.
The city department ordered Huaiyu to reach an agreement. As long as Huaiyu could clean up the waste land, he would be given land for three large shops, and the cleanup fee would be used to offset the land purchase price.
Fatty Wu smiled and said: "Then when you get to the camp, you have to show them your scars and tell them that it was so serious at the time and it was only because of Erlang's miraculous medicine that it healed so quickly."
"That large piece of land is abandoned and unsightly, and it is becoming more and more inconvenient. Now that the world is unified, the population of Chang'an is increasing, the two cities are becoming more prosperous, and the demand for shops in the two cities is also great, so such a large piece of land is
It's a pity that those abandoned areas are there. If they are cleaned up, whether they are sold or built and rented out, it will cost a lot of money.
Many drug dealers also know Zhao Xin, Chen Xing, Lao Liu and others, the steward of Yongkang Palace, the steward of Xuancheng Palace, and the tooth man Zhao Xin also has a relationship with the Wu family. Seeing them accompanying the young husband Huaiyu, they are quite happy.
curious.
No one was picky, even Wu Xixuan, a student of Xiuwen Hall, ate four of them.
A lot of medicine was quickly bought, and Huaiyu took everyone to buy some other things.
The Municipal Affairs Bureau also knew that the land was in a good location, but the cost of clearing it was too high, so the matter was put off again and again. The Municipal Affairs Bureau was unwilling to pay and had no money, so it hoped that the businessmen would buy the land and clean it up to build a pharmacy.
Huaiyu was also very polite to his future colleagues. He bought a lot of high, middle and low-end medicinal materials, and just like Bai Wan, he also bought some from each of the larger medicine shops.
Our Dongshi Pharmaceutical Store has always been better than the West Market Pharmacy, but now many drug dealers have gone to the West Market to open their businesses. Many of them are because there are no good shops in the East Market. In the final analysis, it is because our Dongshi Pharmacy has one.
A large piece of land is left unused, causing everyone to run to the West Market..."
Dongshi Medicine Store is located in the southeast corner, the northeast corner of the southeast area, occupying about one-tenth of the 200 acres in the southeast, about 20 acres.
"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Just listen to me." He whispered into the fat man's ear. The fat man's eyes widened as he listened, "Can it still be like this?"
Three shops are only about 30 square meters. This has led to many drug dealers having to rent separate warehouses in the surrounding Huaiyuanfang and other places.
Businessmen rent or buy another house behind their shop in Dongshi, forming a front shop and a back shop, with sales and consultation in the front and processing in the back.
"This silver hairpin is very beautiful, and this ox horn comb is also beautiful. It will look good on you." Huaiyu also picked out a few items for Runniang, which made her extremely happy.
When they arrived at Dongshi, Zhao Xin took Huaiyu and the others to look at the shops he liked. Unfortunately, they were either too small and in a bad location, the good ones were too expensive, or they refused to rent or sell them.
If Huaiyu wants to build a workshop or even a house behind the store, he can get the land cheaply. If more ruins next to the medicine market can be cleared out, even the land price can be offset.
Dowry is a woman's pre-marital property, and it is also a guarantee for women's higher status in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of dowry, even in large families, is not included in the family property, and the land and income still belong to the woman. If she is divorced or divorced
, the dowry is naturally taken away. Even if the woman dies, the dowry is usually left to her children. For some who have no children, it may be taken back by the natal family.
Pingzheng Bureau is also called Pingzheng Bureau. It is in charge of Pingzhen Order. It is from the seventh rank and is responsible for handling official and market affairs.
"Okay, I will go back and take over the land and cattle. When you return to Longqiao Fort, I will give you the land deed. This is your dowry. You should keep it well."
Everyone returned home with a full load.
They manage hundreds of businesses and tens of millions of merchants in the two cities of Chang'an. It is common for merchants to invest in banks and enter the market, rent shops and buy land, but today there are actually people who want the city department to give them money.
"Is this true?"
Although Runniang was a concubine given to Huaiyu by the Li family, she had land, cattle, and money and silk as a dowry. The daughters of ordinary landlords may not have so many, so Lao Wu was naturally very polite to her.
"Brother, I have a way. It doesn't cost much money and it doesn't take much time to clear this land. We can even discuss with the city department to clear the entire wasteland of the medicine store.
Clean it up and we can charge less."
Although the two cities in the east and west have their own priorities, they are also competitive for managers. If political performance is not good, it will affect the assessment and promotion.
Wu Junya also felt that these pieces of land were really cheap, but the ruins and bricks and tiles would cost a lot of labor and money just to clean them up.
"After we clean it up, it's almost time to start construction. Counting that, it's not cost-effective and it will take a lot of time." The fat man looked left and right and shook his head.
If it is cleaned up on time, the City Department will pay Qianjintang the agreed cleaning fee. Qianjintang plans to buy a piece of land to build a medicine shop, and the cleaning fee will be equal to the land price.
There is also a bathhouse in this courtyard. Chen Xing and Zhao Xin helped pick up a few loads of water from the well and simply rinsed it.
Today's task is to first buy the ten bottles of elixirs that Fan needs, and buy some more raw materials by the way, and then visit the shops in the East Market.
Lao Wu looked at his three sons and said, "My children have grown up, and it is a good thing that they can make a living in Chang'an."
"That can also deceive the city department order. We are also optimistic about Dongshi and want to open a business in Dongshi. In particular, we want to get a large piece of land and build a large pharmacy. Now we are also thinking of cleaning it up together, so that in the future our pharmacy
Once the building is built, it won’t be affected by the dilapidated wasteland next to it.”
The two cities in the east and west of Chang'an each have a city bureau and a peace and security bureau. The city bureau's order is from the sixth-rank official, who controls transactions and is subordinate to Taifu Temple.
If Huaiyi ends his vacation early in the camp, he will definitely not be able to return to Sanyuan often in the future. He will live directly in the camp. When he is not on duty, he can come to Huaiyuanfang to live and help.
"Do you dare to make a contract and guarantee it in black and white?" The city department is a sixth-grade official, but he is still only a green-robed official. It is quite difficult to cross the sixth-grade to the fifth-grade and put on the scarlet robe.
Those who make municipal orders are generally not as good as those state officials. He needs to have outstanding political achievements, and every extra stroke is worth every stroke.
Following the experience of buying medicine last time, Huai Yucai was quite familiar with buying medicine this time. There was also Zhao Xin, a dental dealer, and Chen Xing, a wealthy housekeeper, so no one could deceive them.
He opened the bill and stamped it at Run Niang's place, and then went to Lao Liu's place to receive several hundred bolts of silk. Zhao Xin excitedly moved the silk with Chen Xing and others into the car, and a group of people rushed to the West Market.
Huaiyu walked around a few times and found that none of the ready-made shops in the medicine store satisfied him. The layout inside was relatively traditional and did not fit in with the business method he planned. He would still need to renovate it after renting it.
Huaiyu went to see the vacant land, which was right next to the current medicine shop. The ground was full of broken bricks and tiles. It is said that there was a fire here during the Daye period, and half of the shop on the medicine shop was burned down. Later, part of it was rebuilt.
However, there are still many who have never practiced it again due to wars in the late Sui Dynasty and other reasons.
Chen Xing and others also revealed intentionally or unintentionally that Wu Junya was the eldest son of Xuancheng Duke, the nephew of Duke Ying, and Cang Cao of the right guard who joined the army. The two brothers with the golden knives were also from the Wu family, and one of them was stationed in the camp.
Hundreds of Cavalry.
Fatty Wu called a subordinate from the government to be responsible for cashiering and managing the warehouse. He was in his early fifties and his surname was Liu. He was brought by Fatty Wu’s wife Liu from home when she got married. The Liu family gave birth to slaves and followed him for decades.
Even the daughter-in-law was given to her as a maid by the fat man's wife, Mrs. Liu, because she was honest, honest and literate and could keep accounts. She was originally the steward of the outer court of the fat man, but now she is transferred to be the cashier of Qianjin Hall.
"Let's try it."
Breakfast consisted of simple steamed pancakes, steamed buns without fillings, or grains, but the quantity was sufficient, and a group of people devoured it, and everyone had a great appetite.
After the meal, Huaiyu asked Runniang to take a hundred guan worth of silk from the backyard warehouse, and asked Chen Xing to help move it to the central courtyard warehouse. This is temporarily the Qianjintang warehouse, and there are still piles of 420 pieces of silk that Fan paid in advance yesterday.
Silk.
It's just that Jiangfei really has no choice, otherwise who would want to spend more money and energy? There are other shops in Dongshi Pharmacy, but if that doesn't work, you can still go to West Market.
It's just that ordinary businessmen are not willing to buy land to build houses, which is time-consuming, especially because there are too many broken bricks and tiles on the ground. The cost of cleaning up is not small, and it is a big project. Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was far from being restored.
When the Sui Dynasty flourished, there was no shortage of shops in the East Market, and there were still many empty shops. It was faster and more cost-effective to rent or buy than to buy the land and build one yourself.
"I plan to go to the camp later." Huaiyi ate eight steamed cakes in one breath. He felt that his body had almost recovered and the wounds were scabbed. He didn't want to continue taking a long vacation. "I stopped by to take a look at the injuries."
Our camp comrades."
Both parties were very satisfied with this agreement. The Municipal Department felt that the land could be cleared out without having to pay for it, and then the land could be sold to investors and collected money. Huaiyu was also very satisfied. Such a large piece of land was for free.
But in the East Market, if there are more and more merchants in the future, and industry and commerce will become more and more prosperous, this shop will become more and more expensive.
What's more, the location is actually quite good. It's right on the street, so these two bits of land are very valuable.
With the contract in mind and another three hundred bolts of silk as a deposit, Huaiyu and his party left the city office in the east center and continued back to the medicine market in the southeast corner.
"I hope Erlang's method works, otherwise we will have to clear this large area for the City Department and lose money."
