[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

There may be monsters causing chaos and floods in Jiangnan Road, but in the end they were taken away by the newly appointed "Little Dragon King" Ao Lie.

This guy has been obsessed with collecting believers & incense recently. When he heard that there might be monsters haunting Jiangnan Road, it’s fine to do things. It’s still the flood that their dragon clan is best at.Stealing someone's business is like killing your parents!Immediately, he couldn't wait to take Ao Qing to Jiangnan Road to beat up the demon.

The most important thing is that this is a great merit that can save tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop!

At this moment, Ao Lie was extremely grateful to the Halloween Princess who had greened him back then.

If Princess Wansheng didn't love herself, she wouldn't be banished to Yingshoujian, wouldn't become Tang Xuanzang's apprentice, and wouldn't be able to meet and fall in love with Ao Qing, who was full of eyes only for herself. Harvesting the great merits of hundreds of thousands of people worshiping... He doesn't hate Princess Wansheng anymore.

I really appreciate the kindness of not marrying back then!

However, because of this incident, the opposition to the Western Expedition has become louder in the court recently. The reason is nothing more than that the reduction in grain production in Jiangnan Province this year has become settled, and the common people are starving to death. Your Majesty Li Er, an emperor, does not want to give relief The disaster victims, on the contrary, resorted to militarism. Can they fight casually?The Western Regions are so far away, I don’t know how much food and grass will be collected along the way, the food of the common people is not enough to eat, and you want someone to squeeze life-saving food from their teeth to fight for you?Person in charge?

This time even the old man Wei Zheng couldn't sit still anymore, he led a group of censors, joined hands with the household department who was short of money and food, and fought with the military department.

The disputes in the court did not have any impact on the rich and idle people in Chang'an City, especially the Wu family. The mistress of the house was pregnant again, and Wu's father stayed at home with the elderly mother.Just before he and Elder Tang searched a lot of good things in the Western Regions, Wu Hong called Xie Zijing over and asked her to help him open the new shop first, and wait for the quarrel in the court to come to an end, and then decide on where to go. Where is the caravan going.

Wu Hong's original plan was that the caravan at home would follow the route of the Great Tang's Western Expedition, and their caravan would follow wherever the Tang army went. Now after discussing with Elder Tang, it broadened his thinking: he It is entirely possible to set up more shops in Chang'an and nearby large state capitals, and then send some unskilled jobs to the Western Regions, and the finished products can be sent to Datang as "Western Region Imported Goods". As we all know, what, For the same thing, Hu merchants can always raise the price to several times or even dozens of times the price of similar products.It just happens to give those soldiers who died in battle or became disabled in the war and their families a chance of reemployment.

However, Wu Hao was not sure whether the current shop at home was suitable for opening a new shop, so after thinking about it, he asked someone to invite Sister Xie Zijing over.

"Do you plan to open the new shop in the East Market or the West Market?" Xie Zijing thought about it secretly, and found that his family's shops in Chang'an City were not enough after all, so he frowned.

Originally, according to her idea, she hid so many gold, silver and jewels in her cave, how about taking them out and exchanging them for a shop?But Wu Yun and Jiang Su refused, insisting that those are antiques that can be used as family heirlooms, and their family is not too poor to uncover the pot, so there is no need to take out these antiques that may not be bought back after they are sold.

Scorpion Jingsu was used to domineering and domineering, and it was the first time in her life that she met Wu Yun and Jiang Su who really cared about her. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.However, sometimes Xie Zijing always feels that Wu Yun and Jiang Su are considering things too carefully.

"Let's go to Dongshi. Sheren and I brought back a lot of cold jade from Qiuci before. Go and find some old masters who are good at carving jade. Let's open a jewelry and jade shop." Wu Kong ordered.

Those cold jades have been stored in his personal terminal warehouse. Since the last time his personal terminal suddenly blue screened, Boss Wu has been worried. He is afraid that the things in the warehouse will be lost one day. This time, they will all be transferred to the Wu family's warehouse. After going there, no one in the entire Chang'an city knew that there were so many priceless jades hidden in the Wu family's Sanjin small house with a market price of less than three hundred gold!

Wu Hao was very suspicious. The reason why his father used the excuse of staying at home with his mother to protect the baby was that he wanted to personally guard the huge sum of money.

Even Wu Kong himself did not know until he returned to Chang'an City that the cold jade he and Elder Tang had inadvertently bought in Qiuci was a huge sum of money.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you do not take into account the depreciation caused by the large amount of jade being put on the market, and the increase in food prices caused by the reduction in grain production, the money from selling these jades alone is enough for His Majesty Li Er to raise troops for three years up.

Shops in Dongshi are not so easy to find, mainly because this area belongs to the core CBD of Chang'an City. Those who can buy shops here are those who are not short of money, and the politics during the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were relatively clear. Unlike some times when the government was in turmoil, the heads of a large number of high-ranking officials were chopped off at every turn, their homes were ransacked and their families were wiped out. Therefore, after searching for a few days, there was no suitable one. Thinking about creating some accidents, there are always people who are willing to sell their shops to raise money in order to save their lives.

Fortunately, Wu Kong found a partner in time.

Concubine Zhao heard that Jiang Su was also pregnant, so she specially ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift. During the chat, she heard that Wu Kun was looking for a shop of a suitable size in Dongshi recently, and planned to open a jewelry shop specializing in selling Qiuci jade, so she ordered her immediately. Someone came and invited Wu Kong to Zhao Wangfu.

General Yuwen is a daughter-in-law. When Concubine Zhao got married, although Yuwen's family conditions were average, but because she was going to marry the son of His Majesty Li Er, General Yuwen was afraid that his daughter's dowry would be looked down upon by his wives, so he gritted his teeth and sold it. I bought two Zhuangzi, and bought a shop for my daughter in Dongshi, where the land is very expensive. Now this shop only sells some rouge and gouache. The problem is that the people living near Dongshi are rich and noble ladies. I have my own inner workshop to make, even if I want to buy prescriptions that I don’t have in the market, I often go to familiar shops and do business with regular customers. It is an industry with stable income but not much profit.

In the past, Concubine Zhao used to operate step by step. However, since she became married to the Wu family, Concubine Zhao envied Jiang Su's ability to make money very much. In addition, she now has her own child. A little more protection?Concubine Zhao has no mother-in-law (the birth mother of Zhao Wang passed away early), so she asked someone to invite Jiang Su to the palace to talk with her when she had nothing to do. Hearing that Wu Hao wanted to open a jade shop in Dongshi, she had an idea and wanted to take her unprofitable rouge. Shop to practice hands.

Wu Hao thought that the "small shop that does not make money" in the words of Princess Zhao was due to the bad location or too small area. When I got to the place and took a look, damn it~ This is really a waste of money!The upper and lower floors of this shop are about 200 square meters, and there is a small yard at the back. Looking at it again, all the people living in the vicinity are well-known and well-known families in Chang'an City. For this kind of shop in a prime location, the annual pure The profit is only a hundred gold... Wu Hao felt his heart was bleeding.

Concubine Zhao made up her mind to learn how to run the business from Wu Kong, so she packaged the shop together with the backyard as a shareholding. They are all a family, and Wu Kong didn't intend to take advantage of her. Moreover, with the signboard of Zhao Wang's mansion, After the shop opened, it could save a lot of trouble, so I directly discounted [-]% of the share for the shop. Although [-]% is not much, Wu Hao estimated that if the profit of the shop is [-] gold a year, the [-]% share will be [-] gold Compared with the previous year's profit of one hundred gold, it has increased dozens of times in one breath!

It’s not unreasonable for him to think so. People in Tang Dynasty are afraid of heat. Summer is about to enter. When the time comes, the heat in Chang’an City will be unbearable. Kucha Hanyu will be cold to the touch, and it will not melt easily like ice cubes. After summer, the price will rise. , This is also the reason why he and his father would rather guard this treasure mountain with fear than take it lightly.A piece of cold jade the size of a child's palm, if bought from Qiuci and the carver, it costs only ten gold, and it can be sold for a hundred gold if it is resold. Moreover, the price of jade fluctuates a lot. If you are lucky, you can find a good one. My master, it is not impossible to sell it for a few hundred gold.

After coming out of Prince Zhao's Mansion, Wu Hao stopped by the East Market and bought some gifts that the old ladies of this era might like. He planned to visit Mrs. Yin with Elder Tang tomorrow.

"You just need to prepare some gifts for grandma. The family doesn't need to worry about it." When mentioning his cheap uncle, Elder Tang didn't like it very much.

Maybe it's like this among relatives, they smell far away and smell near, and they have never been together before, and he has been practicing in the temple, and there is no conflict of interest with Uncle Yin's family.

However, all this gradually changed after Tang Xuanzang returned from the Buddhist scriptures and became an official. After all, the uncle of the Yin family was only the adoptive heir, and Tang Xuanzang was the grandson of Mrs. Yin's wife. Let Mrs. Yin love this grandson even more. When Tang Xuanzang got married, Mrs. Yin even took out the most valuable of her previous dowry for him to marry his wife.

Although Tang Xuanzang refused some, but for the uncles of the Yin family, they didn't know this, they only thought that Mrs. Yin was too partial to her grandson, and they, outsiders, were inferior after all, and they were not as good as before to Mrs. Yin That kind of considerateness is so considerate... I dare not abuse him. The uncle of the Yin family still relies on the old lady Yin to inherit the title, and now Tang Xuanzang is an official in the court, and he is still a celebrity in front of the emperor.

But who is Elder Tang?After reliving his life, he regarded the few remaining relatives more than his life. After returning to Chang'an City, he quietly arranged two eyeliners in the yard of Mrs. Yin. He had heard the complaints and calculations behind his back a long time ago and didn't want to hear them anymore.

Grandmother is very important, but Wu Kong is also very important. Tang Xuanzang didn't want to wrong his own people because of that pair of cheap relatives. Seeing Boss Wu holding a gift list and counting the various gifts sent to the Yin family, he couldn't help but speak out. Remind him: he only recognizes the old lady as a relative in the entire Yin family, as for the others?It's okay to be perfunctory a little bit, anyway, they don't dare to show them face because of this.

Being able to get into the position of Zhongshu Sheren, among the idle nobles in the entire Chang'an city, no one would be so stupid that they would not want to offend Tang Xuanzang.Among the rich and powerful in Chang'an City, which one doesn't have one or two playboys?If Tang Xuanzang took the opportunity to sue His Majesty if he offended the celebrity in front of the saint, what good would he gain?

"Forget it, grandma still needs to live in Yin's family for the elderly. There are always things we can't take care of. Besides, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. I heard that your uncle has a son and a daughter under his knees. If they You're so smart, you should serve your grandmother well, and the future of your children may depend on your nephew." Wu Hao casually handed the gift list to the waiter, and asked Elder Tang to help him choose jade carvings. The styles are gone.

He didn't know what kind of fancy jade carvings the local tyrants of the Tang Dynasty liked.

"By the way, we want to take in the families of the soldiers who died in battle. Do you want to say hello to the emperor? Don't we pay money and effort, but be suspected by the emperor. I heard that the emperors in ancient times had to practice what kind of emperor Mind tricks, it sounds scary." Boss Wu doesn't know the rules of this era very well, so I still have to ask Elder Tang about this matter.

"This matter is not urgent. Your Majesty has a broad mind. He has also led troops in battle, and he has always been considerate to the soldiers." Tang Xuanzang did not intend to tell this matter right now. All the preparations they are making now have to wait for an appropriate time. , When more and more soldiers were killed and disabled on the front line, and the court could not afford it, it was the best time for them to make a move. If they were lucky, they might be able to change the title of the old man.

Hearing Tang Xuanzang talking about changing his father's title, Boss Wu couldn't help but wonder: What's the matter with this guy, he's thinking about promoting his father-in-law all day long?

"If your father-in-law doesn't have an official position, how can you keep those shops in your family?" Tang Xuanzang saw it very clearly, and he didn't forget to remind Wu Kong, "You have to accompany me back, I want to replace my father-in-law in the court. Looking for a real shortage, the Ministry of Households happened to be short of two members of the Warehouse Department, Wailang. Father-in-law, go and make a real claim, if your mother-in-law finds a girl for you in the future, the father will have a real need, and the marriage will be much better than ordinary people."

Wu Kun: "..." Other officials in the DPRK were promoted to enshrine their wives and sons, but the elder Tang of their family had no sons to shade, so they simply went to shade their father-in-law.
