Great Tang Broom Star - v2 Chapter 1124

  Chapter 1124 March 3rd

  Teenagers say they are mature, tens-year-olds say they are mature…

   But you have to ask them what is the sign of maturity, basically they all have one thing in common.

   “You will be mature only when you get married and have children.”

   This is Jia Pingan’s suggestion to Wang Bo.

   “Responsibility and patience, these two things can only be truly possessed after you get married and have children.”

  After getting married, the couple changes from a state of passionate love to a state of living together, and gradually changes from sweetness to wildness. You have to learn to be compatible, learn to compromise and be patient.

  After the child is born, your whole person will change. When the child is crying in the middle of the night, you have to get up and take care of it. If the wife refuses to breastfeed, you have to find a way.

  After a few years, your whole person has changed.

  Wang Bo was thoughtful.

   “It would be nice not to get married!”

  …

  March 3rd, Shangsi Festival, also known as Girls’ Day.

  The season when the grass grows and the warblers fly, men and women are in the city or out of Chang’an City to play.

  Since the Zhou Dynasty, March 3 has another meaning, which is Valentine’s Day.

  At that time, there were no dating agencies. If you want to find a lover you like, you have to take this opportunity to go out and search.

   “Aye, I’m going out.”

  Early in the morning, I went around and changed into new clothes, and brought people to look for Jia Ping’an.

   “Where to?”

  Jia Ping’an will be very busy today, so I don’t have time to pay attention to my daughter.

   “I have an appointment with my second wife, and I am going outside the city.”

   “Outside the city?”

   Jia Pingan frowned.

   “Yes! Many people will go outside the city today, and Er Niangzi and I will watch the excitement.”

  DouDou has not yet reached the age of first love, and his face looks excited, not looking forward to it.

   “No running around, follow Yun Zhang’s arrangement.”

“knew.”

  My daughter ran away.

  Jia Yu is also here.

   “Aye, my classmates and I are going out to play today.”

   “Where to?”

   Jia Ping’an gradually became angry.

  Jia Yu felt something was wrong, “Go to Qujiang Pond.”

   “Go.”

  Jia Yu heaved a sigh of relief and ran away.

  Arrived outside Qujiang Pool, several students had already arrived.

   “Jia Yu, this way.”

  Business booths beckon.

  Several classmates wore the most proud clothes, and Shang Ting even returned Fu Fan.

   “Don’t fu powder.”

  Jia Yu felt that it was necessary to tell them about the disadvantages of Fu Fen, “Fu Fen will only irritate the skin. Besides, why do men want to be white and tender? What men want is knowledge and both civil and military skills.”

   “You don’t understand now, do you?” Shang Ting said proudly, “Women like fair and tender men.”

  Fu powder has a long history, and its purpose is to paint people’s faces with a white cover.

  Jia Yu shook his head and stopped persuading.

  Dad said, you can do whatever you want, you can turn it into black charcoal, just don’t make powder, or you will break your leg later.

  Today Qujiangchi is frighteningly crowded with people, it can be said that there are crowds of people.

   “Shangting, don’t run around.”

   Jia Yu shouted.

  There was a little lady in front of her, about ten years old, who was shouting in panic: “Sister! Sister!”

  Shangting shouted: “Little lady, don’t run around here.”

   It is dangerous to run away at this time.

  The little lady glanced at him, but shouted, “Don’t come here.”

  I am a good person! Shang Ting was dumbfounded.

   “Little lady.”

  Jia Yu went over, “Where is your sister?”

  The little lady approached Jia Yu, crying, “Sister was still talking to someone just now, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye.”

  Damn it!

   Is this because she met a handsome man and abandoned her sister?

  Jia Yu didn’t think it would be enough, “What’s your sister’s name?”

  The little lady said: “Wang Xiaoe.”

   “Shout!”

   Several teenagers shouted together, “Wang Xiaoe!”

   “Wang Xiaoe!”

   Soon, a young girl squeezed over anxiously. When she saw the little lady, she scolded, “Why did you get lost?”

   “Sister!”

  The little girl howled.

  While wiping her tears, the girl said ferociously: “I told you to follow me and hold my sleeve, if you don’t listen, it’s all right now?”

  The little girl pointed at Jia Yu, “Sister, thanks to this young gentleman.”

  Girl Fushen, “Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang.”

   “It should be.”

  Jia Yu cupped his hands.

  Shang Ting was depressed, “Why do everyone believe in you but not me?”

  He couldn’t help but asked the little girl, “Little lady, why don’t you believe me?”

  The little girl glanced at him, took a step back, stood behind Sister’s side, held her sleeve and said, “You are not a good person, you are greasy-faced.”

  …

   On March 3rd, many officials from the DPRK and China went to Qujiang Pond.

   “Drink!”

  The wine glass slowly followed the water and stopped beside Shangguanyi, and he took a drink from the glass.

   Immediately there is poetry.

  In Lanting many years ago, Shusheng and others also played this way, and finally left behind a legendary work in the history of calligraphy, the Preface to Lanting Collection.

  …

  The Jia family will naturally also participate in such activities.

   Jia Pingan originally wanted the two wives to go by themselves, but in the end he couldn’t resist, so he had to take them to Qujiang Pond.

  The family found a place to sit down, arranged the food and wine they had brought, watched the crowds of people moving, and spoke slowly.

  Someone said: “The household department posted a notice.”

   “What notice?”

   “What’s the big sale on March 3 in Dongxishi today?”

“big sale?”

   “Go and see.”

  Chang’an City is almost fully mobilized today, playing everywhere, and at this moment, someone is promoting something everywhere.

   “Household department hosts, hundreds of the best merchants in Dongxi City participate, guarantee big price reduction…”

  …

   Half an hour later, a large number of guests came to the East and West Market.

   “Look good, as long as there is a March 3rd sign, it is a merchant with a big price cut.”

   “Anyone who discovers that someone has faked a price cut, just report it to the market officials and be punished severely!”

  The people poured into the shop, and it exploded immediately.

   “It’s so cheap?”

  One piece of goods is placed, and the price is written on the wooden sign next to it.

  The key is that many goods are marked, who owns it, and where is the address.

   “Just buy it, if you have any questions, just follow this address to find me!”

  The businessman proudly said: “If it is not good, I will pay for everything!”

crazy.

   It didn’t take long for Dongxi City to become a sea of ​​people. The city magistrate was worried that something might happen, but the Jinwu Guard came.

   “Zhao Guogong said that there might be an accident today, and I have been prepared for it.”

  There are too many big discounts in later generations. For example, after the store opens, the first 100 customers will get the biggest discount, or the first 1,000 customers, which will cause queues in the middle of the night, and open the door to go through the rolling door…

   This caused many things, and Jia Ping’an was cleared up.

  One by one, the common people came out with big bags and small bags on their backs, smiling.

  The officials are shouting, “Your Majesty knows that the people are struggling, so he ordered the Ministry of Households to make this big price reduction.”

   “Long live Your Majesty!”

   The people who got the cheap shouted.

   “Also, this big sale…every year.”

   “Every year?”

   “Yes, every year!”

  …

   “Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households has a big sale on March 3rd. The East and West markets are crowded with people. The Jinwu Guard went to maintain order and injured more than a hundred people…”

   Li Zhi, who was sitting on the bed, raised his head in disbelief. Even though he couldn’t see Wang Zhongliang clearly, he still scolded: “Nonsense!”

  Wang Zhongliang said: “Slaves dare not.”

   Shen Qiu came.

   “Your Majesty, a lot of people just flooded into the East and West Markets. The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard went in to maintain order and injured many people.”

  Li Zhi was stunned, “My invincible tiger was defeated in Chang’an City?”

   “Your Majesty.”

  The queen is here.

   “Why?”

   Li Zhi asked with a frown.

  Wu Mei smiled and said: “Ping’an and the Ministry of Household Affairs have joined forces to hold a big sale on March 3 in the East and West Market. What kind of shopping festival are you talking about? It triggered panic buying by the people.”

  Li Zhi said with a cold face, “This is trying to make up for the common people. Did you persecute the businessman?”

  Although the merchants of Tang Dynasty have a low status, they cannot be exploited for no reason.

  Shen Qiu hesitated, “Your Majesty, just before, a group of businessmen made trouble.”

   Sure enough!

   Li Zhi became angry.

   “Why?” Wu Mei asked.

   This matter was planned by Jia Pingan, and he said it was foolproof, but now it seems that there are still some problems.

  Shen Qiu said: “Those businessmen want to join this so-called shopping festival, but the Ministry of Finance said that it will come again next year. Those businessmen are envious of other people’s business and gather to make trouble.”

  Li Zhi: “…”

  Wu Mei rejoiced, “This matter was planned by Ping An, and it is said that it will make Chang’an people look forward to it every year.”

  …

  Lu Shungui also came to Qujiang Pond today to have a banquet with Lu Shunzai and others.

  The banquet is by the water, and someone puts a wine glass upstream, and the wine glass floats all the way, and whoever stops at the side will drink it.

   “Second brother, it’s your turn to compose poetry.”

   This glass of wine stopped beside Lu Shungui. He drank it with a smile, then stroked his beard and slowly recited a poem.

  Everyone burst into applause.

  Diagonally opposite someone shouted, “Who is composing poetry?”

  Reply here, “Fan Yang Lu.”

   This is the title!

   Someone over there stood up and cupped his hands, but it was Shangguanyi.

   “This man is talented in poetry.” Lu Shunzai said in a low voice.

  Lu Shungui smiled and said: “Poetry and fu are small ways, just for fun.”

  Wang Sheng said: “We and the children of the gentry have learned to write poems and fus since they were young, and they can take the imperial examination, so they can naturally far surpass their peers.”

  In the past, the level of teachers in prefectural schools and county schools in various places was poor, and the children of the gentry were taught by famous teachers since they were young, and they were tutored by various resources far beyond the outside world.

  So some people say that the imperial examinations gave opportunities to the gentry instead.

   “Shangguanyi is slick, looks like the emperor’s loyal dog, but he doesn’t offend anyone.”

  Cui Chen said disdainfully: “This person is unlikely to become a master.”

   “He is already the prime minister, how can he be more powerful?”

  Lu Shunzai glanced at the second brother, “Second brother is a great talent but can only be in…”

“shut up!”

  Lu Shungui stopped him, then raised his glass: “Everyone, I’m going out today, I’m just talking about business.”

  Everyone raised their glasses and diverted the topic.

   “Alang.”

  Wang Sheng’s entourage came, “Someone outside said that the Ministry of Households had a big discount on March 3.”

  Wang Sheng said with a smile: “Is this to make up for the loss that the common people failed to buy our goods?”

  Cui Chen also laughed, “How about a big price reduction? Do you force the merchants? Hahahaha!”

“Then there will be excitement.” Lu Shunzai said: “The merchants definitely don’t want to do this. What can the Ministry of Household do? Subsidize? The government subsidizes money to make the merchants cut prices. This is an unheard of thing. Everyone, you should remember it with poems and prose.” .”

  Everyone burst out laughing.

   Immediately, drinking and composing poems.

  Lu Shunzai saw that there were many women on the opposite side of Shangguanyi, so he said, “Shangguanyi can also enjoy herself.”

  Lu Shungui said lightly: “Things in the world are like fish drinking water, you know how warm you are.”

   “The Dongxi market has a big discount.”

  Someone shouted outside.

“it is true.”

   “It’s made by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the price is so cheap!”

   Qujiang Pond became restless, and the common people went out one after another.

   “Go and see.”

  Lu Shungui nodded, and a follower hurriedly followed the flow of people.

   “Does Dou Dexuan really dare to subsidize? No, if the Ministry of Household Affairs wants to pay for subsidies, it must be approved by the prime ministers. You see, Shangguanyi seems to be at a loss, which shows that he doesn’t know.”

   “That’s persecution!” Cui Chen sneered, “Dou Dexuan is so courageous, our people stare at him and impeach him at random.”

  Lu Shungui nodded, approving this approach.

   There are fewer and fewer people in Qujiangchi.

   Jia Ping’an’s family is also happy.

   “Wu Shuang, drink alcohol.”

  Soho raised his glass.

   Wei Wushuang said: “Drink less, so as not to get drunk.”

  A lady drank too much, threw up all over the floor, and finally fell on her own vomit.

  Su Ho proudly said: “This is fruit wine, you won’t get drunk.”

  Jia Ping’an was also drinking fruit wine, and his two young sons were playing beside him.

   This is Tachun.

   Bao Dong is here.

   “Duke, the Dongxi City is full of people.”

“I see.”

  …

   “Alang!”

  Lu Shungui’s entourage came.

“how?”

  Lu Shungui asked.

   The entourage said: “The gates of hundreds of large merchants in Dongxi City are so crowded that the Jinwu Guard is maintaining order.”

   “But forced?” Lu Shungui asked.

  ”I don’t know.” The follower said: “There is a wooden sign outside the door of every merchant, which says March 3rd, and it is said to be given by the Ministry of Households. Merchants with this sign are merchants with big price cuts.”

   “Are the merchants complaining?”

  The follower shook his head, “They are all very happy.”

“its not right!”

  Everyone is puzzled.

   “Look, I bought this.”

  A young man came with a jar of wine and said happily, “It’s 30% cheaper!”

  Lu Shungui smiled and said, “Maybe the young man will come over?”

  The young man and his companions were showing off. When they heard the sound and looked around, they saw that there were old people with a dignified appearance, so they came over to salute.

   “A young man who knows how to be polite.”

  Lu Shungui praised first, and then asked: “Young man, do you know why the price was lowered?”

  The boy said: “It is said that His Majesty is merciful, and specially organized this shopping festival to let the common people take advantage.”

  The emperor’s reputation has been restored.

  Lu Shungui smiled and said: “A businessman is after profit, so the businessman is willing to lose money?”

  The boy shook his head, “I don’t know.”

  Lu Shungui nodded, “Then do you feel the difference?”

  He felt that there was something strange about this matter.

  The young man said: “Look, old man.”

  He turned the side of the wine jar with the paper on it.

   “In the past, there were only the names of the drinks, but now there are the names of the shops and the addresses of the shops.”

  What does this mean?

  Lu Shungui and others are not businessmen after all, so they are really confused.

   “Thank you very much.”

“polite.”

  The boy turned around and drank with his companions downstream.

  Young people are lively, with endless laughter.

   “I’m really envious!”

  Lu Shunzai sighed: “It reminds me of when I was a teenager, when my second brother often took me out to find friends…”

  Lu Shungui said: “It’s all over.”

   “Good wine!”

  Someone on the side of the boy said: “This drink is good. I’ll buy a jar later and take it home. By the way, where is this shop?”

   “Here is the address and the name of the store, you just have to look for it.”

   “Wang’s fine wine, okay, I’ll look for it later.”

  The East and West Market is very large, with countless winding alleys. Unless you are a frequent shopper, many people will forget where they bought things last time.

  Lu Shungui was thoughtful.

   “Let our merchant get one.”

   Someone went to call, and a merchant came before noon.

   “It’s advertised!”

  There was awe in the eyes of the businessman, “The brand of the Ministry of Households reassures customers, thinking that this merchant has the endorsement of the Ministry of Households.”

  Cui Chen asked: “But why are businessmen willing to lose money?”

  The businessman smiled wryly, “This is the cleverness of the Ministry of Accounting’s methods. The big discount seems to be a bit of a loss, but there are so many customers!”

   Cui Chen was puzzled, “If you have more customers, you will lose more, why are you still willing?”

yes!

  The more customers come, the more the merchants will lose money?

The businessman said: “Cui Gong doesn’t know, this seems to be a loss, but the customer bought cheap goods, where does he want to buy next time? Naturally, he will go to this merchant. More importantly, their goods are all Write down the address and name of the shop, and spread it to ten, ten to hundreds, and the good reputation of high quality and low price will spread, attracting more customers, and the business will naturally get better and better. Who would not take the opportunity to make a lot of money in the future?”

  Cui Chen was stunned: “…”

   “Fame in exchange for losses?” Wang Sheng was at a loss.

  The businessman said: “Yes, the loss is exchanged for a good reputation, and the good reputation is exchanged for more customers. This is the cost of advertising, and it is worth it!”

   “Cost of advertising?”

  Lu Shungui suddenly realized, “Such merchants will naturally participate enthusiastically.”

  Lu Shunzai smiled wryly, “Second brother, if this matter is successful, the merchants will praise the account department…”

  The merchant said: “Those merchants and common people are praising His Majesty!”

   Nima!

  Wang Sheng couldn’t help but want to curse.

“We would rather lose more money than pull the goods out of Chang’an. The people complained about the emperor, and they blamed us too, but we are both in danger. Now that March 31 comes out, the emperor’s reputation is improved instantly, and the merchants have also benefited. The common people have gained the greatest benefits…all of them have benefited, how about us?”

  A while ago, the strong man broke his wrist and went blind for nothing.

Lu Shungui calmly said: “This method can be called brilliant. The old man thought about it for a long time when the goods left Chang’an City that day, and felt that Jia Pingan had no way to turn the situation back. Unexpectedly, he found another way. It’s March 3rd. Good Jia Pingan!”

   “He did it!”

  Cui Chen took a deep breath, “Jia Ping’an’s business skills are excellent. At the beginning, he sold bamboo wares in Huazhou very well, and his own business is even more profitable.”

  Wang Shen smiled wryly, “Dou Dexuan has no such means, only Jia Pingan.”

  Lu Shungui asked, “Is Jia Ping’an in Dongxi City?”

  The businessman shook his head, “I didn’t see him.”

   “He’s up front.”

  A follower said: “Ah Lang, Jia Pingan’s family is in front.”

  Lu Shungui stood up, “The old man is going to see this person.”

  Lu Shunzai said: “Second brother, why should you be like this…”

  Lu Shungui said: “Victory and defeat are commonplace, but this old man is very interested in Jia Pingan.”

  Everyone got up and followed Lu Shungui to the front.

   “Mr. Lu and the others are here.”

  Shangguanyi stood up to greet her.

  After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Shungui said, “Farewell, old man.”

   Didn’t you come to find the old man to drink?

  Shangguanyi’s enthusiasm was misplaced.

  Lu Shungui and others arrived at Jia’s house.

“very young!”

  Lu Shungui nodded, “Old man Lu Shungui!”
