The days passed by day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The strange thing is that at this time, not even a single snow fell in Chang'an City. They say that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but this year there is not even a snow seed. What will happen next year? Will there be a good harvest?
The children were immersed in the joy of the upcoming New Year, but some experienced farmers were frowning more and more.
Li Zexuan, who lived in the secluded Yunshan Mountain, suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart. He looked up at the sky and murmured to himself: "Without snow in a year, the locust eggs in the ground will surely survive in large numbers. The locust plague in the coming year will be a disaster." It must be coming fiercely!”
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was well prepared. The Tang fleet's first ocean-going trade brought back a large amount of food. Later, Li Xiaogong went to Lingnan and served as Zuo Tiju of the Municipal Shipping Department, in charge of the affairs of the Southeast Asian countries and the Tang Dynasty. Trade, one after another, brought back a lot of grain from other countries. Today, in the Tang Dynasty, several official warehouses have been fully filled, and the official warehouses near Chang'an continue to expand. It can be said that the official warehouses of the Tang Dynasty The warehouse has never been so full!
"Master, yesterday I followed your instructions and distributed all the 280 bicycles recently produced by the workshop to the members of the Chamber of Commerce. They should be selling them today!"
Uncle Fu came over early in the morning and told Li Zexuan the news.
The workshop's staffing is now quite strong. In just a few days, it can produce more than two hundred bicycles, with an average of dozens of bicycles a day. Li Zexuan is quite satisfied with this speed. He nodded and said: "Yeah! I know. Come on! Give the craftsmen and masters in the workshop a reward and let everyone go back to celebrate the New Year! Construction will officially start on the seventh day of the first lunar month next year!"
Uncle Fu responded with a smile: "Okay! Master! Everyone has been waiting for your words!"
Li Zexuan smiled and explained: "Don't be stingy with rewards. Give as much as you can! Everyone has worked hard this year! By the way, after the holiday, Uncle Fu has to arrange for a few people to guard the workshop to prevent fire and theft." ! The guards will receive five times their salary during the Chinese New Year. Ask if anyone is willing!"
It's time to celebrate the New Year, but you can't leave the workshop without someone to guard it. If it catches fire or attracts thieves, the loss will be too great!
Uncle Fu nodded and said: "Don't worry, young master. I'll ask a few craftsmen who live nearby! There will be no accidents in the workshop!"
"Um!"
………………………
Today's Chang'an City is particularly lively, because the people got the news from "Datang Daily" - 280 bicycles have arrived in Chang'an and will be sold soon!
When the bicycles were sold for the first time, the workshop only produced forty. Li Zexuan gave five of them as gifts, and the rest were given to Cao Wendong, Feng Zhihua, Lin Wenyuan and other members of the chamber of commerce.
In addition, these chamber of commerce members would also privately "detain" one or two bicycles as gifts, so for the first time, less than thirty bicycles entered the market!
Those who were able to grab a bicycle at that time were not unlucky, because in just over a month, the price of bicycles among the people had been "speculated" to 700 to 800 yuan!
There is no way, some rich people are not short of money, they just need to enjoy!
For those middle-class families who are not extremely wealthy, this can be a bit frustrating! They can still afford a car that costs 400 guan, but they can't bear to part with it if it costs 700 guan or 800 guan!
But now, the bicycles were sold again, and 280 bicycles were supplied directly. This time, there were 280 actual bicycles, and no one secretly withheld them. Compared with the last time, there were ten times more bicycles!
Although compared to the huge population of Chang'an City, two hundred and eighty cars are still not enough to see, but the chance of grabbing a car is undoubtedly greater!
As a result, countless common people and wealthy businessmen heard the news and flocked to places such as the Cao family's Jianbao Pavilion, the Lin family's Qingya Zhai, and the Zhang family's Yawanxuan.
Because Qiquge did not sell any of the second batch of bicycles, and gave them all to several major members of the Chamber of Commerce!
"Hey! Qiquge Workshop is finally being generous today. According to the "Datang Daily", there are a total of 280 bicycles for sale today!"
"Haha! According to my order, I will definitely get my turn today! Hehe! Fortunately, I live close by!"
"Thank you to Brother Tao for telling Yu the news in time, otherwise Yu would never have been able to catch up!"
"Haha! What's the point of sincerity in saying thank you? After buying the bicycle later, brother Yu, you won't be able to escape from this meal!"
"Does that need to be said? Later, Yu will invite Brother Tao to have a big meal at Zuixianlou! With a bicycle, it will be much more convenient to go to various places to pay New Year greetings after the New Year!"
"Exactly! Brother Yu thinks so too!"
There was a long queue of elders in front of the Qingya Zhai of the Lin family. The people in the front were naturally happy, while the people behind were naturally dejected. Just as the two old men in front said, the Chinese New Year is about to come. If you can buy a bicycle, how cool will it be to ride a bicycle around to greet the New Year in the next year?
No one has a bad face!
"Haha! Madam, how is it? Is my husband's previous judgment correct? Our family has received a total of thirty-four bicycles from this second batch!"
On the second floor of Qingya Zhai, Lin Wenyuan looked at the dense queue of customers downstairs and said to Mrs. Lin beside him with a smile.
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but said: "There are only about thirty cars in total. If you sell them, you can only earn more than 3,000 yuan. I hope you will be happy!"
Lin Wenyuan shook his head and said: "Madam, don't you understand? I heard that this batch of bicycles was produced by Qiquge Workshop in only five days! It was because the workshop was in We are busy producing briquettes and coal stoves, so we have no time to make bicycles. Madam, think about it, if the workshop can concentrate all its efforts on producing bicycles, how much output will it have to produce in a month? More than 3,000 units! Such a huge profit, You don’t know how greedy everyone else is!”
"Haha! Listening to what the master said, won't the money invested by our family be repaid next year?"
Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up and she asked with a smile.
"Tsk~!"
Lin Wenyuan chuckled lightly and said: "Not only can we get back our original capital? Maybe there will be a lot of surplus! Not to mention anything else, just the 45,000 Guan Chamber of Commerce shares that our family bought and sold out for 60,000 Guan will be enough." Someone will definitely buy it!”
Mrs. Lin subconsciously thought that her husband-in-law was bragging. She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care about the rest of the concubines. The important thing is that now our family finally has some money left over for the New Year!"
Lin Wenyuan's face darkened, and he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
Previously, he spent more than 40,000 yuan to invest in the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which put the Lin family's shop in an instant. Without liquidity, business would of course be greatly hindered. He had to make do with it here and there, and he could barely survive until now. During this period, the Lin family was frugal and frugal for a long time!
Now that Li Zexuan has finally released a large number of bicycles, the Lin family can finally take this opportunity to "recover some blood"!
