Take the mall to Datang

"Well, it's quite a setback." After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

At this time, some servants in the shop in Hepingfang put out several tables and put them together, and put ten tables directly on the street, and then someone came out of the shop and put a piece of cotton cloth on the table. spread out.

"Dear neighbors, brothers and sisters walking around the streets, this is the first batch of cotton cloth grandly launched by the Cotton Chamber of Commerce. This cotton cloth is soft and has very good water absorption. It is a good material for making ready-made clothes. Today, in Heping The Cotton Chamber of Commerce held a cotton product launch promotion meeting at the Fang Shop. Everyone can experience the quality of the cotton cloth for themselves. Don’t worry about getting your hands dirty or paying for it, because this is for you, but please don’t be too hard and respectful. Please start to experience the hard work of the women workers in the textile factory now." Yuan Shan shouted.

This is just a casual experience, but the servants of the Yuan family gathered around the table to maintain order.

"It's so soft. Is this cotton cloth? This cloth is the same as the one that the scholar was wearing. It looks very good. Why don't you buy some and go back to make clothes? My daughter-in-law hasn't worn new clothes for several years." muttering.

"Young Lord, I don't know how to sell this fabric. Such a good fabric must be very expensive." After waiting for a long time, someone finally asked.

"Brother, you are thinking too much. Whoever says good fabrics must be very expensive. I told you that cotton fabrics will be sold in major fabric stores in Chang'an City in three days. First come, first served, each piece of fabric only costs [-] yuan. That's right, you heard me right, not ninety-nine, but one hundred, one piece is not one foot, and the stuffing cotton used to make cotton clothes is ten cents per catty, and it is also issued in major cloth shops, remember after three days Come and buy it." Yuan Shan said.

Then I handed over the work of product experience to Zhang Sanlai, and went back to the shop, where the management and shareholders of the chamber of commerce were. Seeing this lively publicity, Zheng Qi liked it very much. He just liked watching the excitement like this, but Xue Kai and the others were a little worried.

It's not because of the cotton production. Although there is enough cotton and the cotton seed pressing equipment brought by Yuanshan is used, it is very convenient to process cotton, but the production of cotton is not much, which is relatively speaking.

The Cotton Chamber of Commerce has returned from Chengdu for several convoys this week, and selling loose cotton should not be a problem.

"Nephew, where are you going?" Xue Kai said to Zheng Qi.

"Uncle Xue, can you still sit still? I'm going to the textile factory, and I have to prepare for the distribution of members of the chamber of commerce." Zheng Qi said.

"My nephew is waiting for me. I'll go too. I just want to check the amount of cotton that just came back yesterday."

Yuan Shan was very speechless, thinking what the situation is, he has become a workaholic, or I will follow along to join in the fun, forget it, let's go back to accompany my Ruolan and Qianyu...

Chapter 173 Joining the Referee Team

Yuan Shan rode the carriage all the way back to the manor, and not long after returning to the manor at noon, Cai Yi hurried to the inner house and said, "Master, Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, is here."

Hearing Du Ruhui's arrival, Yuan Shan was still bored with Du Qianyu, before he could take advantage of it, he stood up and followed Caiyi to the living room.

"Master Ru has been waiting for a long time, let's try Yuan's juice and snacks first." Yuan Shan said immediately.

Du Ruhui didn't come alone this time, but brought his two sons with him. Du Gou was also surprised by Yuan Shan's way of treating guests. He ate as soon as they met. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. arrive.

When the two were in a daze, Du He didn't care who he was. He took a mouthful of the bun and then drank the fruit juice, and then began to repeat these two actions. After eating, he said: "Father, brother, this is delicious. .”

"Haha, Lord Du, don't mind. This is my way of hospitality. Anyone who has been here knows that it is also polite to praise my Yuan family dim sum. It doesn't hurt to eat a little." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, then I won't be polite. Well, this dessert is soft, sweet and delicious." Du Ruhui commented immediately.

"As long as Mr. Du likes it, when you leave, bring some back and give Madam Du a taste." Yuan Shan said.

"I came here today to thank Baron Yuanshan for saving my life. Please accept my obeisance." Du Ruhui said that he was about to obeisance. It would be bad for Minister of the Ministry of War to spread the news. Although he couldn't think of any bad things, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, which is completely imprinted in his bones.

"Master Du really upset me. The kid just saw some medical skills. It's not a big deal. If you want to thank me, you can do well for the people of Tang Dynasty. This also corresponds to the idea of ​​​​the parents of doctors. Although I am not The doctor also hopes that the people of the Tang Dynasty will live and work in peace and contentment, and I am very relieved to have a minister like Master Du around." Yuan Shan said.

"Master Du is recovering well." Yuan Shan asked, changing the subject.

"It's all because of your blessings, and Yao Yu's prescription. At this time, my health is fine, but His Majesty still wants me to rest for a while, so that I can take the time to come and see my savior." Du Ruhui said.

Yuan Shanxin said that this statement was really wonderful, and immediately upgraded to the level of a lifesaver, she was secretly happy but replied calmly: "Meeting is fate, being able to save Lord Du shows that we are destined."

"Hahaha, you're right. I've heard that Baron Yuanshan knows profound arts, so it's appropriate to talk about it today." Du Ruhui said.

Yuan Shan was speechless. He didn't expect Du Ruhui to be interested in such mysterious and mysterious things, but he really didn't understand it. Except for fooling people and fooling people, he really didn't understand these things.

"To be honest, there is one thing I would like to ask you for this time. I don't know if you are willing to help." Du Ruhui said.

"It's okay to say anything, if I can do it, I can think about it." Yuan Shan still left room for speaking. Although he was saved, the relationship between the two is not good enough to make a promise casually.

"My son, Du He, is stubborn by nature. I heard that Gou'er said that you are quite good at dealing with him. I wonder if it is possible for Du He to worship you as a teacher, and to strictly discipline him to help him become a talent." Du Ruhui said.

"No, absolutely not. This guy is a cheater. If he puts me here, he will implicate me in rebellion. There is no need to discuss this matter." Yuan Shan said inwardly, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Sitting across from him was Minister of the Ministry of War. It would be difficult to be a man if he directly refuted his face, unless he would never associate with him. Yuan Shan found that sometimes saving people is also a burden.

Suddenly he had an idea and said: "Forget about the matter of being a teacher, the boy is so ignorant that he has some cleverness that can't be put on the stage, but recently General Cheng and General Yuchi have set up a football referee team, why don't brothers Du Gou and Du He join in. At that time, after professional training, becoming a football referee can hone yourself."

"And this referee team is taught by me, Mr. Du thinks this is good." Yuan Shan continued.

"What is the football referee team?" Du Ruhui asked doubtfully.

"Football is a sport that originated from Cuju, and the football referee team is used to measure and evaluate the review, supervision and judges of the whole game. After joining the referee team, they will undergo strict training, including physical fitness and rules. Waiting for the courses, the most basic requirements for the people participating in the referee team are to be honest first, then to be able to read and write, and thirdly to have excellent physical fitness. It can be said that only elites in the industry can take up the job." Yuan Shan said flickeringly.

"I can strengthen my body and hone my body and mind, so let their brothers join the referee team to experience it." Du Ruhui immediately agreed, maybe he thought that this way he didn't have to worry about his two boys coming, especially Du He. , He has a violent personality at a young age, so he should be disciplined more.

Zhao Gou kept silent, but it seemed that he didn't like to join. When he heard about exercising, his whole head grew bigger. The energy is admirable.

The Du family and his son were quickly sent away, not to mention that Cao Cao arrived, Cheng Zhijie sent someone to write a letter, Yuan Shan opened it and saw that the selection of the referee team members had been completed, and training will be held in the school field outside the Beigong wall from tomorrow, for During the two weeks, there will be a football match between You Wuwei and You Wuhou's football team. At that time, it is said that many generals will be invited to watch and bet.

Cheng Zhijie's imaginative and unconstrained style really opened Yuan Shan's eyes. If he bet so blatantly, he might be able to make a fortune by looking at the odds. Yuan Shan suddenly planned to take a big gamble. Exciting, when the time comes, not only will I have to watch it myself, but I will also bring my family with me. Datang entertainment is not rich, so we can't keep the girls bored at home all the time. Find some fun at the right time, and maybe add some fun.

The next step is to prepare for tomorrow's refereeing course. He is good at these. He opened the mall and bought a ready-made football refereeing method. Wait, Yuan Shan looked at it all afternoon and didn't find anything, but after looking at it later, he found that there is something deep in this judging method.

There is also the most critical point of preparation, that is, the clothing used in this football match, all the flags used on the field are contracted by the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, and even the sneakers are contracted by Yuan Shan.

Don't forget to make money and publicity when doing things. How can you not take advantage of such a good opportunity? At that time, Yuanshan will invite the members of Cotton Cotton to watch the game. It is a kind of benefit. Another reason is to see if it can be done. Starting an economical football business, such as Datang Football Club, can also add some fun to the people of Datang, can't it, and more importantly, he wants to watch football matches.

Chapter 174 The Tight Cotton

The first day of the referee team is to get familiar with the rules, and then to exercise. Yuan Shan came to the hunter training class for a day, writing out the daily plan and handing it over to the leader of the referee team. They are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Under the attention of Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde, they will not cheat and play tricks. They will conduct a written test every three days. If they don't work hard, they will be eliminated.

As for their fate, Yuan Shan didn't bother to care about it. All he had to do was to make them proficient in professional knowledge. He was equally strict with the two brothers of the Du family, and they would be punished for any difference, and the consequences were unbearable for them.

After the first day was over, Du He cried loudly in front of Du Ruhui, and said he would never come again, but Du Ruhui brought him here the next day, and threatened to clean up as long as he was not obedient.

Yuan Shanxin said that I just like such parents, is this child really your own? Looking at Du He's strange smile, Du He's hair was terrified and his body trembled a little.

After two days of training, Yuan Shan vaguely found that he seemed to like this kind of work very much, and he never got tired of it. He even wondered if he had a special preference in this aspect, but he stopped after thinking about it.

Not long after the training started on the third day, Ma Zhou hurried over in a carriage. When he saw Yuan Shan, he immediately said, "Master, the cotton cloth was sold out in less than an hour. I heard that the cloth shop in Hepingfang The doors are all smashed."

"Isn't it? Is it really so popular? How is the sale of loose cotton?" Yuan Shan asked.

"It's all gone. Now many members of the chamber of commerce are blocking the entrance of the textile factory to buy goods." Ma Zhou said hastily.

Yuan Shanxin said that the market is empty, and the supply is in short supply. If cotton is not planted so much, it may be really profitable. The best way is to burn the excess cotton, but Yuan Shan thinks it is still too wasteful, and now it is a feudal The society should save the people of the Tang Dynasty from the dire straits. It will be cold after October, and the winter in the Tang Dynasty is too cold.

"If there is no goods, wait for the shipment, if there is no cotton, wait for the cotton to be shipped. You hurry back and ask the vice president of the chamber of commerce and the general manager of the chamber of commerce. The big shopkeepers must organize the manpower so that no accidents will happen to the textile factory or the female workers. Coordinate the members of the chamber of commerce, let them leave first, and try to break down the number of besieged people. These vice presidents should be able to handle it. At present, they are still focusing on the transportation of cotton. Only with enough cotton can they satisfy the appetite of these people. Tell them If they can't wait, they can go to Chengdu to collect goods, and they will definitely guarantee the fastest cotton." Yuan Shan said.

After explaining this matter, when Ma Zhou returned, a batch of cotton had just arrived, and the cotton seeds were not even removed before being bought by merchants waiting at the door. This sales speed was completely beyond everyone's imagination.

So Zheng Qi and the others also became ruthless, and started to mobilize all their own cargo vehicles to Chengdu to transport cotton. More than [-] rich merchants in Chang'an united and dispatched a large number of convoys to Chengdu, which reversed the prices of goods in several surrounding cities. All have changed, which also shows that Datang's current transportation capacity is still insufficient, so Yuanshan's carriage business is getting better and better.

Yuan Shan found that although he didn't sell cotton, he could make enough money by selling the carriage, and it was enough to make the pulley bearings on the carriage. A set of pulley bearings cost 130 guan. One hundred sets are worth thousands of taels of yellow gold, and he suddenly found that his blacksmith workshop was not enough.
