Chapter 33 The journey of a gentleman, the grain accumulation in March

Another seven days, after Li Changqing completed today's practice at the Nantian Gate, he just went to deal with some mundane matters.

In the past ten days of practice, he has improved rapidly, but he can't tell how much he has improved, because he doesn't have a complete method of practice.

In the first floor of the building, surrounded by clouds and mist, I don't know where to go.

Fortunately, if his own incense shop opens, it will naturally attract one or two practitioners to discuss the way of cultivation.

Li Changqing put the small black urn containing the five ghosts into the treasure bag, took out a bamboo basket that was one size bigger, and beckoned to Little Wukong, "Come on."

Wukong deftly fell into the bamboo basket and covered himself with a cloth.

Now that he eats well and sleeps well, coupled with his practice of forging his muscles and bones, Wukong's height is gradually increasing. Li Changqing estimates that it will be difficult for him to take Wukong to travel directly in a year, unless he finds a way to transform into a human form. .

After checking that there was no one there, Li Changqing jumped down from the Nantian Gate.

First of all, when I came to my newly built house, dozens of masons were in full swing.

For the spiritual fragrance in Li Changqing's mouth, Boss Jin spent all his money, took out the posture of rebuilding the Town God's Temple, merged five small courtyards, and wanted to build a large courtyard with five entrances.

Seeing this situation, Li Changqing did not refuse. After all, it is the place where he will live in the future, and he has to take care of refining incense and boiling medicine. It would be better to have more rooms.

Wang Shusheng's mother and son have moved to live next to the academy after receiving funding from Li Changqing. The other party has stayed at home for the past few days, aiming at this year's Qiu Wei, and wants to raise high school students in one fell swoop and shine on the lintel.

Li Changqing took a look at the house he built for himself, and made some small suggestions, and then set off for Longkou Dunao Street.

The second busiest place in Longkoudu is Lihua Lane. Although it is an alley, Lihua Lane is not small. It is a bustling city composed of three wide streets.

The reason why it is called Lihua Lane is because all the brothels and hooks are gathered here.

This is a place where women gather, so men spend money naturally with a sense of comparison.

Therefore, the rouge shop and the ready-made clothing shop in the next two streets are booming, and two streets away are facing the Mingcang River, and a seven-story Wangjiang Tower has been built.

In the distance, a large area of ​​the river forms an island, on which is the Heming Academy, which is naturally a gathering place for literati and poets.

In the words of Li Changqing's previous life, this is the high-end entertainment consumption place of the entire Longkoudu.

Li Changqing walked straight to the third-floor terrace with the "Yage" hanging in the middle. The sharp-eyed children who were attracting guests outside the door immediately recognized Li Changqing and hurried forward, "Changqing Daoist, please come inside."

When the round-faced Yang had chosen the shop, Li Changqing came to see it once, and handed him a batch of soul-suppressing incense and soul-protecting incense to sell. Xiaoer naturally recognized this as his boss.

Accord was originally a property under Boss Jin's name, and Li Changqing wanted to open a shop, so he naturally leased the place to him for a long time.

After Li Changqing's guidance, the entire Accord is not like a place for selling things, but like a book bar in later generations, where customers can order a cup of tea, browse books stored on racks of sandalwood bookshelves, and provide pens, inks, papers and inkstones for free .

Anyone who can read and write in this era has at least some silver at home. When they see a place where they feel happy, they have to ask the store what kind of incense they burn.

In this noisy Lihua Street, the Accord opened by Li Changqing is unique. It is naturally different from the coquettish sluts around it.

If you show off your knowledge, your wallet will naturally be empty.

"How's business?"

Li Changqing saw the happy face of the round-faced Yang sitting on the stage, so he knew that the business was booming recently.

The round-faced Yang whispered excitedly to Li Changqing, "In the past few days, I have obtained a total of 3783 taels of silver."

The price of incense sold by Li Changqing is high, one stick of soul-protecting incense is one tael of silver, and one stick of soul-suppressing incense is twice as expensive, two taels of silver, and this kind of incense is what is needed every day, and one stick of incense will not burn for less than half an hour , can be called a profiteering industry.

Hearing that so much silver was sold, Li Changqing was not surprised. He gave Boss Jin a lot of incense and asked him to distribute it to his relatives and friends around him.

My own incense is of sufficient quality, at least far from the ordinary incense in the supermarket. These wealthy businessmen know the taste, so they will naturally come to support them when they open a store.

For these wealthy merchants, a few hundred taels of silver is just a small amount, and if one person has a few hundred taels, the turnover will naturally increase.

"Daoist, you see that the business of this shop is so good, do you want to send more incense?"

The round-faced Yang explained, "In the past few days, the literati in the Accord have already started to buy the incense in the main account after us, and the top brothels next to them have also started to use our incense. When the market explodes, I'm afraid We don't have enough stock."

Li Changqing still somewhat underestimated Longkoudu's spending power. He changed his gaze, "If the inventory is not enough, the price will increase."

"Price increase?" The round-faced Yang rolled his eyes and nodded again and again, "This is a good way. Since ancient times, good things have been bought by those with high prices."

Li Changqing's sales strategy would definitely be scolded to death on earth, but in this era, there is no consumer rights protection.

And for those who can afford this incense, the price increase is a good thing to reflect their identity.

Luxury goods have always been like this, not afraid that you are expensive, but afraid that you are not expensive.

If it is expensive and the quality is still the best, it is naturally excellent.

"You can release the news in a few days. This incense must be refined by people who have entered the Tao, and the production is limited. I am afraid that it will be available through auction in the future."

The round-faced Yang immediately memorized it.

Li Changqing said again, "Later, you will take my famous thorn and deliver it to Boss Jin and a few other top rich businessmen we met last time, and say that I will invite you at Wangjiang Tower at night."

"I can save it." The round-faced Yang wanted to do this, but was stopped by Li Changqing.

"By the way, have you found the open space I asked you to find in the suburbs?"

The round-faced Yang slapped his head. Recently, he was only preoccupied with business matters, but he forgot about it.

Li Changqing sighed and said, "This matter is related to our survival, don't forget."

settle down!

The round-faced Yang looked at Li Changqing in surprise, how can I say this.

"Our incense shop is making a lot of money every day. Originally, it was a cross-river. Now, with the support of Boss Jin, everyone is doing well on the surface, but as time goes by, troubles inevitably arise."

"If you don't prepare your own trustworthy power now, who will protect the property when something happens? It's the so-called gentleman's journey, and accumulate grain in March."

Li Changqing himself can indeed deal with ordinary rascals now, but it is impossible for him to do nothing and guard the incense shop every day.

What's more, I have the basic practice method in my hands, and I don't have any views on the sect. It's better to recruit a few good families to form my own armed force, which is more trustworthy than hiring others.
