In the morning, Master Gu was called by the emperor himself, and his face flushed with excitement.

When the emperor asked about political affairs, Lord Gu stood in the center of the hall and talked eloquently.

The emperor was very interested at first and listened very carefully. The more I listened, the more stinky and disappointed my face became.

Could it be that Master Gu is not good at political affairs?

So the emperor asked the Ministry of Finance, how to increase income and reduce expenditure.

Master Gu has a rare opportunity to express himself in front of the emperor, and he can't wait to pour out all the ink in his stomach.

However, his views are all repeating old tunes, and the emperor has long heard calluses.

God is disappointed.

Gu Jiu is clearly so smart and has so many ideas for making money. Why is Master Gu so stupid.

Chen Dachang waited on the side, bowed his head, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He knew that the Son of Heaven would be disappointed.

The emperor waved his hand, Gu Aiqing step back!

In one sentence, the high-spirited Master Gu returned to his original form.

Master Gu was a little stunned. He was talking about the climax, why did he tell him to step back?

The Son of Heaven told him to retire, so he could only obediently retire and return to the team.

Master Gu is worried about gains and losses, he said it badly? poor performance?

The methods he said were often mentioned by the Ministry of Households.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven had lost interest in him, let alone promoted him, Master Gu felt sad and depressed.

In the main hall, only the Shaofu Family Order, the Shaofu Prisoner knows the truth.

They showed sympathy to Master Gu, and it was a pity that Gu Jiu won the opportunity for Master Gu!

It seems that Gu Jiu's intelligence was inherited from his mother, not his father, Master Gu.

I heard that Gu Jiu's mother's surname was Su, and she was also a scholar from generation to generation, but now she's down and out.

After returning home, inquire about the current situation of the Su family.

...

On the banks of the Weishui River, as soon as the merchants from south to north got off the boat, they saw something novel, called: posters!

On the beautiful poster,

The following is written in exaggerated words:

Want to get rich quick? Want to get to the top of your life? Want to make money flow like water? Please come to Yuhua Lane, where your dreams can come true.

Exaggerated words, coupled with exquisite houses, ports, and pictures of goods piled up like mountains, caught the attention of many merchants at first sight.

Novelty enough!

Exaggeration does not matter, beauty is not the main thing, the most important thing is novelty.

Novelty can arouse people's curiosity.

At the same time, a guy was shouting on the banks of the Weishui River, The goods will be shipped directly into the capital, the city gate tax will be paid, and the goods will be unloaded at the Yuhuaxiang Wharf. The price is fair. There are ten round trips a day.

Merchants traveling from south to north were instantly attracted by paying the city gate tax.

They rushed up and surrounded the guys, Really pay the city gate tax? How do you collect the money?

Where is Yuhuaxiang Pier?

How long does it take for a shipment of goods to enter Beijing?

Is it reliable?

Everyone was talking, and all kinds of questions were thrown at the guys.

The guy simply stood on the cabinet and looked down at the surrounding merchants, First, I'm a buddy of the Sihai Commercial Bank. Our Sihai Commercial Bank operates various businesses. Including the shipping of goods from the Weishui River to the Inner City River, remember. Stay, our Four Seas Commercial Bank operates exclusively in Beijing for this part of the shipping. Anyone who does not have the logo of the Four Seas Commercial Bank and says that they can help you transport goods into the capital and pay taxes on your behalf are all liars.

Second, the reason why we can help you pay taxes on your behalf is because we have a big background in the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and we rely on Shaofu. The Shaofu is the private treasury of the Son of Heaven. How can anyone in the world be bigger than the Shaofu?

Our Four Seas Commercial Bank has a warrant from Shaofu, and the city gate officials will never be embarrassed. We will come forward. As long as your goods are not prohibited, you will definitely be able to pass the customs smoothly.

On the same day, the goods will be unloaded on the Weishui River, and the goods will be able to enter Beijing and arrive at the Yuhuaxiang Wharf on the same day. Compared with the past, it took three or four days to deliver the goods to the capital, and the cost of hiring a car dealer, asking Lifu, managing human relations, etc., our cosmopolitan firm charges absolutely fair. Not only can it save you time, but also a lot of human costs.

Anyone in need, please register with me, and I will arrange the shipping for you now. If you are not at ease, you can follow the boat yourself and see if our Four Seas Commercial Bank has the ability to help you clear customs in one day. It is guaranteed that the goods will be able to enter Beijing before dark.

After the guy shouted, some people hesitated, some waited and watched, some read jokes, and of course some actively tried.

I'll order five boats first, all of which are made of silk. Can we clear customs today? A young gentleman, holding a folding fan, asked aloud, not like a businessman, but more like a gentleman from an aristocratic family.

The guy was overjoyed and thought he would run away, but he didn't expect someone to book the boat.

This boss has a vision. Please register here. Are there five ships? We will send someone to check the goods on board to make sure that there are no violations.

No problem, just check the goods.

The young man was very straightforward, he followed the steward beside him, and handled it with the guys from the Four Seas Trading Company.

Why do you want to book a boat? We have a long-term cooperative car dealership. Send someone to notify, and they will send someone to send a car to help us transport the goods to the capital.

Zhou Jin shook his folding fan and said with interest: Don't you think it's very interesting? This new cosmopolitan business firm, although I don't know the specific origin, I don't know if the guy's back is true or not. , but since I dared to promise to clear customs on the same day and enter Beijing on the same day, this young master thought it was time to try it.

If the Four Seas Firms really have such great ability, do you know what it means? Means the birth of a new business model. Tomorrow, let's go back to the south and copy this mode directly to the marine terminal. What effect will it have?

The manager's expression changed, If it can be replicated, it means that the young master will control the entire terminal. All the goods entering and leaving cannot escape the young master's eyes.

Zhou Jin laughed, Ruzi can be taught. You go with the boat and memorize every step of their operation. My son will take a carriage and go to Yuhua Alley on the poster first. Presumably this Yuhua Alley pier is there. Near Yuhua Lane, we meet at Yuhua Lane.

Young master entered the capital alone, how does this make it possible. Young master's daughter's body cannot be risked by his own body.

It's okay, with Lao Zheng and the others here, nothing will happen.

Zhou Jin got into the carriage and slowly walked towards the city gate.

In the past, merchants from south to north, after transporting their goods to the Weishui River outside the capital, asked Lifu, a car dealer, a donkey cart, a mule cart, or an ox cart. , in order to deliver the goods to Beijing.

When passing through the city gate, you still need to manage in advance, pay a city gate tax, and make sure that the goods are not prohibited before they can be sold in Beijing.

During this period, the test is the merchant's personal connections and the ability to manage affairs.

Like the kind of merchants who are in the capital for the first time, they usually find fellow villagers to lead the area, mainly to deal with all kinds of little devils.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.

The kid at the wharf is the first level, the city gate kid is the second level, and there are countless levels waiting for the third level and the fourth level in the capital.

In short, it is not so easy to do business in Beijing.

The Four Seas Commercial Bank appeared in the sky, directly saving the first and second hurdles for the merchants, which is a great convenience for the merchants.

It saves time, trouble and money, and you don't have to worry about it. In fact, merchants are happy to see this kind of good thing happen.

At the moment, everyone is still watching, just because they are not sure if all this is true.

When the first person to eat crabs reported positive news, there was no doubt that the offices of Sihai Commercial Bank on the banks of the Weishui River would definitely be trampled by merchants traveling from south to north.

After paying the city entry tax, Zhou Jin successfully entered the ancient city of the millennium, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

Beijing is very prosperous, no doubt about it.

Zhou Jin simply got off the carriage and walked around to have a look.

It was the first time he came to the capital, and he was very curious about everything in the capital.

He was drinking tea in the teahouse and casually asked Xiao Er, How do I get to Yuhua Lane?

Xiao Er immediately asked excitedly: Is the son also buying a house in Yuhua Lane? Hurry up and get in line to get the number plate. I heard that the sale will open in a few days.

Zhou Jin was stunned. He prides himself on being well-informed. He has traveled to the sea, to the grasslands, and to the desert. He can understand the number plate in the mouth of the second, and what the hell is the opening.

He tried to ask, Is Yuhua Lane famous?

Xiao Er laughed, Young master just came from out of town, right? No wonder you don't know Yuhua Lane. Do you know Huyang County Master and Li family, that is Li Defei's Li family.

Last month, the county master of Huyang attacked the Li family, smashed the storefront of the Li family, and made Li Dalang semi-crippled. Just for Yuhua Lane.

Now no one in the capital does not know about Yuhua Lane. When I heard that Yuhua Lane was going to open, even my shopkeeper didn't have a lot of money in his pocket, so he went to join in the fun and got a number plate back.

Zhou Jin was in shock and doubt, Dangtang County focuses on foreign relatives, just for a Yuhua Lane?

That's it! The princess of Huyang County won't let her men, and told me to tell me that the Li family should be beaten.

Wang Xiaoer, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up to work. The shopkeeper came out and scolded Xiaoer.

With a guilty face, Xiao Er quickly ran away.

The shopkeeper went to Zhou Jin to apologize, Young master, don't listen to Xiao Er's nonsense. The Li family and the princess are both nobles, so we ordinary people can talk about it, right?

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, I just heard from Xiao Er that the shopkeeper got the number plate? What number?

The shopkeeper smiled broadly, Just to join in the fun.

Zhou Jin smiled and said, If I understand correctly, opening means selling a house?

Yes, yes, this seems to be called a pre-sale, yes, it is called a pre-sale. Pay the money first, and they will hand over the house in a few months. I have heard people who have seen the model house say that the house is really good. The wharf is full of people coming and going. It's very lively. Doing business there will definitely not be bad.

Can the shopkeeper give me the number plate and I'll pay for it.

This? But my name is registered.

There's no rule that you can't change your name.

That's not it.

How about I pay twenty taels to buy the number plate in the shopkeeper's hand?

The shopkeeper took a breath. Don't look at him as a shopkeeper, that's just a part-time job, and his salary is only one or two to five dollars a month.

Twenty years is worth his annual income.

The shopkeeper didn't say a word, he gave up the number plate and changed it for twenty taels.

Holding the number plate engraved with 22, Zhou Jin left the teahouse and went directly to Yuhua Lane.

Yuhua Lane was surrounded, listen to the movement, there is emergency construction inside.

In the inner city river behind Yuhua Lane, the silt was cleaned up, and trees were planted on both sides. A small wharf was also built, enough to dock twenty or so small cargo ships at the same time.

The wharf was deserted, and no goods were brought in.

But there is a lot of equipment to have.

Obviously, this cosmopolitan firm dared to come out to solicit business, not only because of its backing, but also because they have already made various preparations and are only waiting for the opening of business.

Bai Zhong took people out of the construction site.

Zhou Jin greeted him, Excuse me, where can I see the model house?

Bai Zhong looked Zhou Jin up and down.

Zhou Jin smiled, with a harmless look on his face.

Bai Zhong said: Ten days later, Yuhua Lane will officially go on sale, and the model house will be opened at that time. The son will be early.

Excuse me, how many number cards have you issued?

Trade secret, no comment.

Bai Zhong bowed his hands and took the people away.

He is very busy.

Whether Yuhua Lane can make money depends on the effect of the sale ten days later.

Therefore, these ten days are very important, and we must attract as many merchants as possible to participate in this event.

Zhou Jin smiled and watched Bai Zhong leave.

Although Bai Zhong lowered his voice deliberately, Zhou Jin still heard something unusual.

Interestingly, Yuhua Lane turned out to be a superintendent.

It seems that the market rumors are not groundless.

It is rumored in the market that Yuhua Lane is the property of the owner of Huyang County. There is also a saying that Yuhua Lane is the property of Ning Wangfu.

Without being at the top, it is impossible to know that the real owner of Yuhua Lane is Mrs. Zhao of Ning Wangfu.

For a long time, Gu Jiu had been hiding behind the scenes and rarely showed up.

Although Zhou Jin came to the capital for the first time, he was no stranger to the upper classes in the capital.

Based on his impression of the Huyang County Lord, the various pioneering business models of Yuhua Lane were definitely not something that the princess of Huyang County Lord, who was eating and waiting to die, could come up with.

Therefore, the owner of Huyang County is definitely not the real owner of Yuhua Lane.

As for King Ning, according to his understanding, King Ning has the ability, but not the energy.

In a mere street, King Ning didn't have to worry about it.

Therefore, the real owner of Yuhua Lane must be the one hiding behind the Huyang County Lord and King Ning.

This person is likely from Ning Wangfu.

Which one it is, remains to be verified.

Zhou Jin was very curious about this man hiding behind the scenes.

He is looking forward to the day he will meet each other.

...

Towards the evening, five cargo ships successfully arrived at Yuhuaxiang Wharf.

The Four Seas Commercial Bank did what it said and did not play tricks.

The steward met Zhou Jin in the teahouse.

Young Master Qi, this cosmopolitan trading firm is really capable. During customs clearance, he did not show up during the whole process. All of them were handled by the firm. It was done in half an hour, and it didn't cost a single penny.

Zhou Jin looked through the window, admiring the night in the capital, It seems that this cosmopolitan firm is about to launch.

The next day, on the banks of the Weishui River.

Merchants traveling from south to north surround the offices of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and the small offices are surrounded by water.

The Four Seas Commercial Bank became an instant hit.

But there are too many orders, a little busy.

The merchants didn't care at all, It doesn't matter a few days later, as long as you can help us clear customs, it's worth spending a little more money.

Yes, I'm willing to spend more money, it's better than serving those grandsons.

Instead of dealing directly with those nasty little devils, the merchants would rather delay for two more days and spend more money.

The guy stood up and said, Our Four Seas Commercial Bank operates with integrity and will never charge you a penny more. Don't worry, I will report your thoughts truthfully. Maybe half a year later, the boss will pay for the expansion of the wharf, and your goods will be Can be shipped to Beijing within one day.

Also, the houses in Yuhua Alley are about to go on sale. Think about it, if you buy a property in Yuhua Alley, and the goods leave the wharf, you can enter Yuhua Alley a few steps away, how convenient it will be. That place is a treasure trove of feng shui. I bought a house in Yuhua Lane to ensure that your business is booming. You know, the place is covered by nobles, and no one dares to make trouble in Yuhua Lane.

Are Huyang County Lord and Ning Wang covering Yuhua Lane?

Haha... If you want to buy a house, you have to hurry up. After passing this village, there is no such shop.

Dude, are you Sihai Commercial Bank and Yuhuaxiang's owner the same person?

Haha, everyone can buy a house with confidence.

...

Thousands of miles away, the capital of Beirong.

Liu Zhao looked at the white and tender thirteen princes who were only fifteen or sixteen years old in front of him, and who had been in silence after several encounters, and smiled!

Laughing like a thousand-year-old fox demon.

Because he finally saw the deep-rooted hatred in the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince.

His Royal Highness condolences. Regarding what happened to His Highness's mother and sister, I am very sorry. I didn't expect that the king would cruelly give His Highness's mother to death, and also gave the marriage of His Highness's biological sister Princess Ruyu to General Farrer. General La died in humiliation. However, the king didn't even bother to ask about Princess Ruyu's death, which is really chilling.

The Thirteenth Prince lowered his head and said nothing.

Liu Zhao continued his efforts, Your Majesty is old and confused to do such a beastly thing for a woman. I'm afraid that soon, your life, Your Highness, will not be guaranteed.

The Thirteenth Prince clenched his fists.

Liu Zhao lowered his voice and asked casually, Does Your Highness want revenge? Do you want to kill those who brought you into such a situation?
