Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 182 Do you have water friends?

"Old minister, see Your Majesty!"

Grandmaster Yang arrived and saluted respectfully. Xiao Linglong said quickly: "Master, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Looking at Grand Master Yang who was sitting across from him, Xiao Linglong took the lead and asked, "I wonder what the old Master is asking for today?"

Grand Master Yang's words made Her Majesty the Empress a little confused. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kang made a big fuss in the court today. Lin Yu and his followers will definitely not let it go."

"Although Zhao Kang has a high position as a national advisor and a title, he is still alone."

"This time he has shaken the interests of Lin Yu and others. I think that Lin Yu and others may use extraordinary means to deal with Zhao Kang, so I came here to see your majesty, hoping that your majesty can give Zhao Kang some advice."

"The veteran is more or less aware of the dirty tricks of the noble family."

Xiao Linglong never expected that Grand Master Yang would come here for this, and she was full of surprise: "Isn't Grand Master with Zhao Kang?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to say that you have a complaint?"

The old master smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is right. At first, I did have a lot of resentment towards Zhao Kang. I was angry with him for his dissolute and indecent behavior and his lack of respect for etiquette. But..."

After saying that, Taishi Yang sighed: "Zhao Kang's talent is indeed far superior to that of my senior minister. This is a fact that has to be admitted. At least when my senior minister taught His Highness Xuance in the past, His Highness never said such words."

"It can be seen that the veteran is not only inferior to him in literary talent, but also in terms of educating people!"

Seeing the sigh on the old man's face and the lonely look in his eyes, Xiao Linglong felt helpless.

After all, Grand Master Yang was recognized as the most knowledgeable person in the Qian Kingdom before, with countless disciples.

But the appearance of Zhao Kang made what he was most proud of shatter into pieces of glass.

Especially during literary fights.

Neither he nor Taifu Zhao dared to challenge because they were afraid of Zhang Sheng, but Zhao Kang won.

This was the most fatal blow to Master Yang.

"Old Master, there is no need to belittle yourself. Everyone has their own strengths. You are also the pillar of the Qian Kingdom in my heart." Xiao Linglong comforted.

Grand Master Yang laughed heartily twice, and then said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kang's current political enemy is not only Zhao Kang on the surface, but this old guy Zhao Jinsheng has never let go of his previous grudges. Please remind him and Zhao Kang. .”

Zhao Jinsheng is the full name of Taifu Zhao.

Xiao Linglong's eyes were slightly sharp: "I understand, thank you so much, Grand Master."

"It's just my official duties, so I'm going to resign."

"Teacher, go slowly."

After asking Grand Master Yang to be sent away, Her Majesty the Empress returned to the imperial study, opened the bookcase and took out a booklet, picked up a pen and wrote the three characters Zhao Jinsheng on the densely packed roster.

The people whose names are on this list are all officials supported by the major clans in the imperial capital.

There are no less than 50 people from small to large, and even Xiao Linglong, as the emperor, can't help but be frightened every time he opens it.

This force is enough to compete with the imperial power!

If it cannot be disintegrated or even eradicated.

In the future, when Xuance ascends the throne, he will be completely ignored by them and swallowed up completely!
Thinking about it, Her Majesty's eyes gradually became firm, even a little cruel.

the other side.

After Zhao Kang left the court, he came to the outer city and watched the gangsters on the street shouting the advertisements he had tailor-made for merchants.He was very satisfied.

At the tea stall, he, Xiao Xuance, and Brother Diao, who came after receiving the news, ordered a pot of the cheapest tea.

After Brother Diao sat down, he said: "Master, boss, now I have led people to wipe out all the other underground forces in the outer city. What should we do next? Let them also shout advertisements?"

Xiao Xuance exchanged fists and palms: "Well done, Brother Diao, what is your next plan, Old Zhao?"

"It will naturally boost the consumption level of the market economy."

Zhao Kang chuckled lightly. He spent most of his time inspecting the outer city these days. He had discovered that the people in the outer city were not short of money.

On the contrary, because of the high prices in the imperial capital, the people here can earn far more money in a year than people in ordinary state capitals.

Take the pot of low-quality tea on the table as an example. Five cents is too expensive to buy it in an ordinary place.

But here you can sell a pot for fifteen cents, and you have to pay extra to add water!

In the imperial capital, a waiter in a shop can usually earn seven or eight taels of silver a year. This shows that the people are not without money.

But it doesn't cost any money.

Hearing that Zhao Kang wanted to engage in economic development, Xiao Xuance, who had grown a lot during this period, looked at him cautiously.

"Old Zhao, you don't want to set up a noble hall here, do you? Many people in this outer city are ordinary people! If you buy things like that, you will definitely not be able to sell them."

Zhao Kang sneered: "Who said I want to build a noble hall? Since I want to do business with ordinary people, the price cannot be increased, and it will even be much cheaper than usual."

Xiao Xuance became interested: "It's cheap? How can you make money?"

Zhao Kangxiao educated: "Businessmen will definitely not lose money when selling goods. They just earn more and earn less. The price is cheap and if you want to earn more, you have to use quantity."

"We can choose a place as a shop, record the goods purchased from all the shops in the outer city, and make a list with the prices. Anyone who wants to sell things can come directly to our shop."

Brother Diao frowned: "Isn't this too much trouble? If people want to sell things, they can just go to the store. Why do they have to go to our store?"

Zhao Kang waved his fan: "This is the key point. What if the sales in this shop are cheaper than those in the merchant's shop? And there are people who deliver goods to your door."

Xiao Xuance's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he soon discovered a problem: "No, Lao Zhao, according to what you said, since the delivery is door-to-door, but also requires people to come to our shop to select the goods they want to buy, isn't this superfluous?"

"Hey, it seems like you've really improved a lot."

Zhao Kang shook his fan, and Xiao Xuance rolled his eyes and urged Zhao Kang to speak quickly.

"This is another point. Set up a drop-off point in front of every house in the imperial capital. Whoever wants to buy something writes a note and puts it into the drop-off point. Our people will collect these notes every day and then pick up the goods and deliver them to your door. Collect more money.”

"This is convenient."

Brother Diao nodded: "But the outer city is so big and there are so many households that it is difficult to implement it, and the people may not necessarily accept this method."

"Don't eat this set?"

Zhao Kang chuckled: "This is still the previous measure. After the implementation of this plan, I will add two projects, one is called the cash carousel, and the other is called receiving cash every day. Anyone who comes to our shop to buy goods will have the opportunity to participate, cash red envelopes 100 taels of silver! Let’s see who doesn’t eat it!”

Xiao Xuance was shocked: "That's a hundred taels! Then won't we go bankrupt soon?"

Zhao Kang snorted and closed his fan without making any sign.

How can it be so easy to get money?
Prepare [-] water friends first and then let’s talk about whether these are available!
