Chapter 337: Millennium Fox Demon

Master Gu went to the morning and was named by the emperor himself, his face flushed with excitement.
The emperor asked about political affairs, and Master Gu stood in the middle of the hall and talked freely.
The emperor was interested at first and listened very carefully. The more I listened, the more stinky my face and the more disappointed.
Could it be that Mr. Gu is not good at politics?
So the emperor asked the Ministry of Household Finance how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Master Gu had a rare opportunity to express himself in front of the emperor, and he wanted to pour out the ink in his stomach.
However, his views are all rehashing some old tunes, and the emperor has long been able to hear it.
The emperor was disappointed.
Gu Jiu is obviously so smart and has so many ideas for making money. Why is Master Gu so dull.
Chen Dachang waited on the sidelines, bowed his head, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He knew that the emperor would be disappointed.
The emperor waved his hand, "Gu Aiqing withdraw!"
In one sentence, the energetic Master Gu returned to his original form.
Master Gu was a little confused. He was talking about Gao Chaochao, why told him to withdraw.
The emperor told him to retreat, but he could only retreat obediently and return to the team.
Master Gu is concerned about gains and losses, he said badly? poor performance?
The methods he said are often mentioned by the Ministry of Households.
Seeing that the emperor had lost interest in him, and would not have the thought of promoting him, Lord Gu was very sad and depressed.
In the main hall, only the Order of the Young Mansion Clan, and the Prisoner of the Young Mansion knew the truth.
They responded with sympathy to Master Gu, and Gu Jiu won the opportunity for Master Gu. What a pity!
It seems that Gu Jiu's intelligence is inherited from his mother, not his father Gu.
It is said that Gu Jiu's mother family's surname is Su, who is also a scholar of generations, but it is now in decline.
After going back, inquire about the current situation of the Su family.
...
On the Weishui River, the merchants traveling from north to south just got off the boat and saw something new and strange, the name is: poster!
On the exquisite poster, the following is written in exaggerated words:
Want to get rich quickly? Want to rise to the pinnacle of life? Want to make money flow like water? Please come to Yuhua Lane, where you can realize your dreams.
The exaggerated words, coupled with exquisite houses, ports, and mountains of cargo pictures caught the eyes of many businesses at first glance.
Strange enough!
Exaggeration does not matter, exquisiteness is not the main thing, the most important thing is novelty.
Novelty can arouse people's curiosity.
At the same time, a guy shouted from the Weishui River, "Cargo ships directly into the capital, pays the city gate tax, unloads the goods at the Yuhua Lane wharf, and the price is reasonable. Ten times a day, there are hands fast, slow hands, come quickly! "
Merchants traveling north and south were instantly attracted by the payment of the city gate tax.
One after another rushed up, surrounding the guys, "Really pay the city gate tax? How do you collect money?"
"Where is Yuhua Lane Pier?"
"How long can a ship of cargo enter Beijing?"
"Is it reliable?"
Everyone talked about each other, throwing all kinds of questions to the guys.
The man simply stood up to the cabinet and looked down at the surrounding merchants, "First, I am a fellow of the four seas trading firm. Our four seas trading firm operates a variety of businesses. This includes cargo shipping from the Weishui River to the Inner City River. For this period of shipping, our Four Seas Commercial Bank is exclusively operated by the capital. Anyone who does not have the Four Seas Commercial Bank logo and says that they can help you transport goods into the capital and pay taxes on their 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 banks and we are backed by the Shaofu. Shaofu is the private treasury of the emperor. Who can be bigger than Shaofu in the world?
Our four-sea trading houses have a warrant from the Shaofu, and the gatekeeper will never be embarrassed. We will come forward. As long as your goods are not prohibited, the customs will definitely be cleared.
On the same day, the cargo will be unloaded on the Weishui River, and the cargo will be able to enter Beijing and arrive at the Yuhua Lane Wharf. Compared with the past three or four days before the goods can be sent to the capital, the cost of asking car dealers, asking for help, managing human relations, etc., our four seas firms charge absolutely fair. Not only can it save you time, but it can also save you a lot of money on favors.
Whoever needs it, please register with me, and I will arrange shipping for you now. If you don’t rest assured, you can follow the ship by yourself and see if our global trading houses are capable of helping you clear the customs in one day. It is guaranteed that the goods can enter Beijing before dark. "
After the dude yelled, some hesitated, some waited and watched, some watched jokes, and of course some actively tried.
"I'll first order five ships, all of which are silk cloth. Can I pass the customs today?" A young man, holding a folding fan, asked loudly, unlike a businessman, more like a family man.
The guy was overjoyed and thought he would run out, but he didn't expect someone to book the ship.
"This boss has a vision, please register here. Five ships are not? We need to send someone on board to inspect the goods to ensure that there is no ban."
"No problem, just inspect the goods."
The young man was very straightforward. He followed the steward next to him and worked with the guy from the Four Seas Trading Company.
"Why do you want to order a ship? We have a long-term cooperative cart and horse ride, 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 interesting? Although this newly-emerged four-sea trading firm doesn’t know the specific background, I don’t know if the man’s backing is true. , But since he dared to promise to pass the customs on the same day and enter Beijing on the same day, my son thought it was time to try.
If Sihai Commercial Bank has such great capabilities, do you know what it means? It means the birth of a new business model. If we go back to the south and copy this model directly to the shipping terminal, what will be the effect? "
The manager's expression changed, "If it can be replicated, the son will control the entire terminal. All the goods entering and exiting will not escape the son's eyes."
Zhou Jin laughed, "Russ can teach you. You go with the boat and remember every step of their operations. This son took a carriage and went to the Yuhua Alley on the poster first. Presumably this Yuhua Alley Pier is right there. Near Yuhua Lane, we met at Yuhua Lane."
"The son entered Beijing alone, how did this make it. The son of a daughter can't take risks with his body."
"It's okay, with Old Zheng and the others, nothing can happen."
Zhou Jin got on the carriage and walked slowly towards the city gate.
In the past, merchants travelling from the north to the south transported their goods to the Weishui River outside the capital. They hired Lifu, used a donkey cart, mule cart, or ox cart. , In order to transport the goods to the capital.
When passing through the city gate, you need to make arrangements in advance, pay a city gate tax, and make sure that the goods are not prohibited before they can be sold in Beijing.
The test during this period is the merchant's personal connections and ability to manage affairs.
Businessmen like the kind of businesses that travel to the capital for the first time usually find their fellow villagers to bring the area around, mainly to deal with all kinds of kids.
As the saying goes, Hades is good to see, the kid is difficult to deal with.
The little ghost at the pier is the first level, and the little ghost at the gate is the second level. There are countless levels waiting for the third and fourth levels in the capital.
In short, it is not so easy to make a business in Beijing.
The emergence of the four seas commercial banks directly eliminated the first and second hurdles for the merchants, which is a great convenience for the merchants.
Save time, trouble and money, and don’t have to worry about it. In fact, merchants are happy to see this kind of good thing.
At present, everyone is still waiting and watching, just because they are not sure if all this is true.
When the first person who ate crabs returned positive news, there is no doubt that the offices of Sihai Commercial Bank on the Weishui River will be trampled by merchants traveling from north to south.
After paying the entrance tax, Zhou Jin smoothly entered the thousand-year-old city, Dazhou Capital.
There is no doubt that the capital is very prosperous.
Zhou Jin simply got out of the carriage and walked around.
It is the first time for him to come to Beijing, and he is very curious about everything in Beijing.
He was drinking tea in the teahouse and asked Xiao Er casually, "How do I get to Yuhua Lane?"
Xiao Er immediately asked excitedly: "Is the son also buying the house in Yuhua Lane? Hurry up and get the number plate. I heard that the market will open in a few days."
Zhou Jin looked dazed. He boasted that he was knowledgeable and well-informed. He had been to sea, grassland, and desert. He could understand the number plate in Xiao Er's mouth and what the was the opening.
He tried to ask: "Is Yuhua Alley famous?"
Xiao Er laughed, "The son just came from outside, right? No wonder you don't know Yuhua Alley. Do you know Princess Huyang and the Li family? It is the Li family of Fei Li De.
Last month, the lord of Huyang fought against the Li family, smashed the storefront of the Li family, and crippled Li Dalang semi-crippledly, and brought him to the imperial court. Do you know why? Just for Yuhua Lane.
Now no one in the capital knows about Yuhua Alley. When I heard that Yuhua Alley was about to open, even my shopkeeper didn't have a lot of money in his pocket, so he ran to join the fun and got a number plate. "
Zhou Jin was frightened and suspicious, "The dignified princess kills his relatives just for a Yuhua Lane?"
"That's it! The hostess of Huyang County refused to let her beard and asked me to say that the Li family should fight."
"Wang Xiaoer, what are you talking nonsense? Don't hurry up to work." The shopkeeper came forward and scolded Xiaoer.
Xiao Er looked guilty and ran away quickly.
The shopkeeper went to Zhou Jin and apologized, "The son, don't listen to the little errands. Both the Li family and the princess empress are nobles, which is something we can talk about, right?"
Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I just heard Xiao Er said that the shopkeeper got the number plate? What number?"
The shopkeeper opened his eyes and smiled, "Just join in the fun."
Zhou Jin smiled and said, "If I understand correctly, does the opening mean selling the house?"
"Yes, yes, it seems to be called a pre-sale, yes, it is called a pre-sale. First pay for the purchase, and they will not hand over the house after 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. Doing business over there is definitely not bad."
"Can the shopkeeper give me the number plate? I will pay for it."
"This? But my name is registered."
"There is no rule that you can't change your name."
"That's not true."
"How about I buy twenty taels of the number plate in the hands of the shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper breathed. Regardless of whether he is the shopkeeper, he is just a part-time worker, and his monthly salary is only one to five.
Twenty years is worth one year of his income.
The shopkeeper gave up the number plate without saying a word and changed it for twenty taels.
Holding the number plate engraved with the number two, Zhou Jin left the teahouse and went directly to Yuhua Lane.
Yuhua Lane was surrounded, listening to the movement, urgent construction was underway inside.
In the inner city river behind Yuhua Lane, the silt was cleaned up, and trees were planted on both banks. A small wharf was also built, enough to dock at the same time for twenty small cargo ships.
The wharf is very deserted and no goods are coming.
But there are a lot of equipment.
Obviously, this four-sea business dared to come out to solicit business not only because of its backers, but also because they have made all kinds of preparations, just waiting to open for business.
Bai Zhong led people out of the construction site.
Zhou Jin greeted him, "Excuse me, where can I see a model house?"
Bai Zhong looked up and down Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin smiled at the corner of his mouth, his face looked harmless to humans and animals.
Bai Zhong said: "After ten days, Yuhua Alley will be officially on sale, and the model house will be opened at that time. The son will be early then."
"Excuse me, how many number plates have you issued?"
"Commercial secrets, no comment."
Bai Zhong arched his hands and led away.
He is very busy.
Whether Yuhua Alley can make money depends on the effect of the sale ten days later.
So these ten days are very important. We must recruit as many merchants as possible to participate in this grand event.
Zhou Jin smiled and watched Bai Zhong leave.
Although Bai Zhong deliberately lowered his voice, Zhou Jin still heard something unusual.
Interestingly, Yuhua Lane turned out to be a super-supervisory affair.
It seems that market rumors are not groundless.
Rumor has it that Yuhua Lane is the property of Huyang County Lord. There is also a saying that Yuhua Lane is the property of Ningwang Palace.
Without being at a high level, it is impossible to know that the real owner of Yuhua Lane is Mrs. Zhao from the Ning Palace.
Gu Jiu has been hiding behind the scenes for a long time, rarely showing up.
Although Zhou Jin came to the capital for the first time, he was no stranger to the upper-class figures in the capital.
Based on his impression of Huyang County Lord, the various pioneering business models of Yuhua Alley were definitely not what Huyang County Lord's emperor could think of.
Therefore, Princess Huyang is definitely not the real owner of Yuhua Lane.
As for King Ning, based on his understanding, King Ning has this ability, but he does not have this energy.
In a mere street, King Ning couldn't make much effort.
Therefore, the real owner of Yuhua Lane must be the one hiding behind the lord of Huyang and King Ning.
This person is probably from the Ning Palace.
The specific one needs to be verified.
Zhou Jin had a strong curiosity about this person hiding behind the scenes.
He looks forward to the day when he meets each other.
...
Approaching the evening, five cargo ships successfully reached Yuhua Lane Wharf.
Four Seas Commercial Bank did what it said and did not fool around.
The steward saw Zhou Jin in the teahouse.
"Prince Qizi, this four-sea trading firm is really capable. During the customs clearance, the young ones didn't show up during the whole process. All of them were agency agents. It was done in half an hour and didn't spend any extra money."
Zhou Jin admired the night view of the capital through the window, "It seems that this four-sea firm is about to release it."
The next day, the Weishui River.
Merchants traveling from the north to the south surround the offices of the four seas commercial banks, and the small offices are surrounded by water.
The Four Seas Commercial Bank became a hit.
But there are too many orders and I am a little too busy.
The merchants didn’t care at all,
It’s okay to be a few days later, as long as you can help us pass the customs, it’s worth the extra money.

"Yes, I'm willing to spend more money, it's better than serving those grandchildren."
There is no need to deal directly with those difficult little ghosts, the merchants are willing to delay two more days and spend more money.
The man stood up and said, "Our four seas trading houses operate in good faith and will never charge you a penny. Don’t worry, I will report your ideas as they are small. Maybe the boss will pay for the expansion of the terminal in half a year. Can be transported to the capital within a day.
Also, the houses in Yuhua Lane will be on sale soon. Think about it, if you set up a property in Yuhua Lane and the goods leave the dock, it will be a few steps into Yuhua Lane. That place is a treasured land of geomantic omen. I bought a house in Yuhua Alley to ensure your business is booming. You know, the place is covered by nobles, no one dares to make trouble in Yuhua Lane. "
"Did Huyang Princess and King Ning cover Yuhua Lane?"
"Haha... if you want to buy a house, you have to hurry up. There is no store after this village."
"Man, are you Sihai Commercial and Yuhua Lane the same person?"
"Haha, everyone feel free to buy a house boldly."
...
Thousands of miles away, Beirong is the capital.
Liu Zhao looked at the white and tender Thirteen Prince, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, who had been in silence for several times, and smiled!
Smiles like a thousand-year fox demon.
Because he finally saw the deep hatred in the eyes of the thirteen princes.
"His Royal Highness's mourning. Regarding the experience of His Royal Highness's mother and relatives, I am very sorry. I did not expect that the King would cruelly gift His Royal Highness's mother to death, and also gift His Royal Sister Ruyu to General Huala to marry him, but he was spent. General Ra was humiliated and died. However, the king didn't even question Princess Ruyu's death, which is really chilling."
The thirteen prince lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Zhao continued his efforts. "The king is old and confused. He actually did such a beastly thing for a woman. I'm afraid that soon, your life will not be guaranteed."
The thirteen prince clenched his fists.
Liu Zhao lowered his voice, pretending to ask casually, "Does your Highness want revenge? Do you want to kill those who have put you in such a situation?"
