"Don't mess around! Come on, come on! Stand still! The common people are waiting to meet Duke Dingguo——!!!"
Yan Bing smiled slightly. From the uniform greetings and the demeanor of someone taking the lead, it was easy to see that... before she came out, these merchants had been chatting for a long time... and reached some agreement.
But this... is not a good thing for Yan Bing.
Sure enough, all the merchants were silent, only an old man with a kind face stood forward, bowed and said: "Ding Guogong's reputation is like thunder, resounding throughout the world. He used his body of cloth to make a divine crossbow, which has achieved thousands of achievements.
And they were wiped out by two thousand troops.
We have long admired the Northern invaders, captured a land thousands of miles away, and saved millions of people from fire and water. We have long agreed to pay homage to Duke Ding together. Today, I have prepared a small gift just to express my gratitude to Ding, the people of the Liang Kingdom.
I hope the Duke will accept his admiration..."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and two young men dressed as domestic servants each held a stack of gift lists, took two steps forward, and bowed.
Yan Bing only thought it was funny when he saw it. We had already discussed it. Why didn't it all be written down on one gift list? Why did it have to be divided into so many books?
You don’t even blush when you tell lies!
But, how can there be no reason not to eat fat that reaches your mouth?
Yan Bing immediately waved his hand, and two guards came forward. Each of them took a pile and carried it into the inner courtyard.
When all the merchants saw Duke Dingguo receiving the gift list, they knew that the matter was half done, and they all whispered to each other and congratulated each other.
Where was Yan Bing? He stood on the steps and watched them rustling underneath with a smile, until they had enough talking and became completely quiet, and Yan Bing still didn't say a word.
A group of people just stared at each other, stood there, and were quiet for a long time...
And the atmosphere at the scene gradually became awkward, even a little weird...
It wasn't until the sneering faces of the merchants below all stiffened that Yan Bing said to everyone in a puzzled tone: "My Lord has already accepted your wishes, so why are you still standing here? Come back quickly?"
Don’t delay your business!”
Everyone's expressions changed instantly when they heard this.
What do you mean!?
How can you, Duke Ding, be worse than a corrupt official!!??
After receiving the money, they still do the work!!
You took the money and just pretended to be stupid!!
It’s over!!??
The faces of all the merchants were either dark or white. Yan Bing just felt like laughing when he looked at them. He thought to himself that it was lucky that it was not night, otherwise he would have thought that he had encountered the impermanence of black and white...
Everyone was speechless and could only focus their attention on the old man who was the first to speak.
The old man also felt the pressure from everyone, so he could only bite the bullet, bowed again and said: "Dong Guo Gong, I am waiting here, there is one more thing..."
"Anything else!?" Yan Bing continued to pretend to be stupid, winked at everyone, and said: "Do you... want to come to Tongshun City to open a store? Okay! It's a trivial matter! Master Zou, I will plan to buy property in Tongshun County later.
Write down the names of all the people who opened the business, and these people will be regarded as the merchants of our country! From now on, we must treat them with courtesy!"
After saying that, he ignored everyone and turned around to go back home...
Open a store!!??
Merchant!!??
Treat him with courtesy!!!
The group of merchants below were all human beings, and they immediately understood Yan Bing's appeal.
You can get the goods if you want!
First, give me a prosperous scene in Tongshun County!!
Who smashed the most!!
Who has the goods!!!
In an instant, all the merchants who were originally hugging each other swarmed forward and surrounded Mr. Zou three times inside and three times outside. They were from all walks of life, talking about each other, each boasting his own merits and each selling his own melons!
And it’s not like Master Zou has been hanging around in Tongshun County for so many years in vain.
When he saw that Duke Ding had paved the road for him, he immediately understood. He slowly took out the map in his arms and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be patient! The squares on the next map are all square.
There are ready-made shops, and the triangle is an empty space without an owner! But there are only a few good shops in a good location, so why not like this? What will happen to the one with the highest price?"
Immediately, a wealthy businessman pointed to the shop closest to the downtown area on the map and shouted loudly: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation!! Clothes come first! Such a prosperous place! How can there be no Huansha Building without me!? As long as Mr. Zou is willing to take care of it!"
I’ll give you this store! I promise you! The latest clothes! First stick to our Tongshun City!! As for the price!! You can open it as you like!! In this industry! I believe no one will compete with me, right!?”
After the wealthy businessman finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at several of his peers...
The few people who were scanned lowered their heads instantly, which was regarded as acquiescence...
Just when everyone was quiet, Yan Bing's voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Wanshalou is okay!!"
This voice instantly lit up the eyes of all the merchants!
Duke Dingguo is listening inside!!
What does this mean!?
This shows that I guessed the correct number!!!
The merchants who had maintained a trace of reason and caution just now were completely crazy now!!
Another wealthy businessman quickly raised his voice and shouted: "It's time to eat!! Speaking of eating!! It must be me at Wangyue Tower..."
"Wangyue Tower can only go to the west of the city!!"
This wealthy businessman was so proud! Yan Bing's words made him stunned...
When did I ever offend Duke Dingguo!??
It shouldn’t be!!??
I don’t have it!!??
The wealthy businessman fell into deep self-doubt and completely withered...
In fact, Yan Bing had his own considerations for making such an arrangement. He said Huansha Building was good because he wanted the owner of the house to hire Caiyi at a high price, so he gave the best location to Huansha Building.
The purpose of sending Wangyue Tower to the west of the city is to allow wealthy businessmen with spending power outside the capital, whether coming from the north or the south, to pass through half of the city first! Only then can you get to Wangyue Tower!
Why don't you spend some money along the way! Are you worthy of this long journey?
This is called promoting consumption!
Therefore, in the future, Yan Bing arranged for businesses such as Rouge Square and Baihua Pavilion, which were available in the capital but could attract merchants, to be moved to the west of the city, so that merchants who came from afar would not have to travel all the way to the capital.
Ten miles away, we stopped at Hu in the capital.
Besides, Yan Bing only has three commodities here: wine, paper, and soap, so why do people from all walks of life come to join in the fun?
Because most people who are successful in business have a long-term vision.
Today Dingguo Gong can invent three or four new objects. Who can guarantee that she will not invent other novelty things in the future? What if she happens to need it again? Then she will give it away!?
I have to say...
It’s not for nothing that people can reach this point.
They really made the right bet...
The first batch of merchants to settle in Tongshun City will not only make a lot of money in the future, but there will also be a bigger "dividend" waiting for them in the near future.
As for Li Bing, while allocating resources in the yard, he told the guards around him about the moving matters.
After a while, two guards came to Master Zou and asked for the silver coins and keys, and then went out.
By the time all the shops and open spaces in Tongshun City were sold out, it was already past noon, and all the merchants had already achieved one of the goals of their trip, so they dispersed without staying much.
As for Li Bing, he never showed up again from beginning to end.
It's not her showing off.
Rather, it’s about business!
The relationship is too close! In the future, it will cause myself a lot of unnecessary trouble!
Master Zou originally went out with a map in his arms.
When he came back, he was holding a big wooden box in his hands.
No need to ask, these wooden boxes were taken from those merchants.
Once opened, it was naturally filled with banknotes.
The price of each shop and the land sold for was clearly written on the map by Master Zou.
Yan Bing, who had been listening in the courtyard from beginning to end, naturally knew what was going on. He silently took out a 100-tael silver note from the box and handed it to Master Zou.
"Dong Guo, what are you..." Zou Ruohai looked hesitant. He wanted to answer, but he didn't dare to.
Yan Bing looked at him, smiled slightly, and said: "Master, all the dirty money you earned in the past has been taken back from you by my father-in-law, so you can take this hard-earned money openly and without any loss of heart!"
When Zou Ruohai heard this, he knelt down and thanked her profusely, but Yan Bing then said coldly: "But the blood debt you owed before... has not yet been paid off..."
Looking at Zou Ruohai again, his face instantly turned pale, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.
Yan Bing pulled up Zou Ruohai who was kneeling on the ground, and said to him in a deep voice: "So, if there is an opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the future, Master, you must seize it..."
Zou Ruohai understood clearly. This meant that his head was just stored in his neck for the time being. Sooner or later, he would have to pay blood for blood and life for life...
Wanting to understand all this, Zou Ruohai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Duke Ding, and timidly replied: "I understand, I have done too many unscrupulous things in the past, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay them back in the rest of my life.
, So, I still say the same thing, this life, as long as Duke Dingguo needs it, you can take it at any time. As long as you can keep my family, I will still thank Duke Dingguo even if I die.
His great kindness..."
Yan Bing nodded and went back to the house without saying anything.
Although this Zou Ruohai is a filial son.
Although this Zou Ruohai is also considered a talent.
But Yan Bing knew in her heart that she was not qualified to forgive the thousands of innocent souls who died at his hands!!!
This person must pay the price!
And she only needs to consider how to maximize the benefits of his death.
After returning to the house, Yan Bing placed the map and wooden box on the table and took inventory.
There are seven shops and sixteen lots of land.
This time, a total of two hundred and seventy-six thousand, four hundred and fifty taels of silver were obtained.
In addition to what was collected from Zhang Zheng, what was sent by Hei Jinwei before, and what was returned to the people, as well as what was recently spent.
Now she still has 4,772,962 taels on hand.
Haha, it sounds like a lot, right...
Then convert it into a twelve-pound magic gun.
One hundred and sixty...the remaining money can't even make a thousand rounds of artillery shells...
“Hahahahahaha——!!!!”
After Yan Bing settled the accounts, he laughed angrily to himself...
Sure enough, war is something that ordinary people cannot afford!!!
