"Isn't Donghai County very dilapidated?"
As soon as he entered the city gate, Mu Jianzhang wondered: "Why are there so many people here?"
"Don't they all have to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables?"
Chen Xinghe also looked at Xu Tianhua, a "local".
Judging from the current prosperity of the county and city, I am afraid that it will catch up with the state city where he is located.
It was completely different from when he came here for a private visit a few years ago.
At that time, there were not many people in the entire county, and there were not many small traders.
But what about now?
There are many people here at the city gate.
The further you go inside, the more people there become.
There was even a street that was overcrowded, and there were officers and soldiers maintaining order.
"this……"
Xu Tianhua was also confused.
"Let's go to the county governor's mansion and ask. Donghai County was not like this when I left."
Even if there was a poetry meeting in Donghai County, it was not such a grand event.
Could it be that Mr. Zhao did it again?
Xu Tianhua had a bad feeling.
If Mr. Zhao really did it, wouldn't Mu Jianzhang have to catch him?
Isn't it a waste of time for me to go back and forth these days?
But before a few people arrived at the county governor's house, they had already found out the matter clearly.
Donghai County is so lively because of the opening of a cloth shop in Xiping Village.
There was nothing attractive about the cloth-buying shop.
The key is that the cloth sold in this shop is cheap.
Coupled with the raffle, the event was unprecedented.
Of course, the most attractive thing now is Liu Wenhao's lottery.
After all, after the cloth store restricted purchases, he was the only one buying cloth every day, and no one else had a chance to take action.
Originally, some wealthy businessmen in Donghai County wanted to compete with Liu Wenhao.
After all, they were local snakes, how could they be intimidated by Liu Wenhao, a dragon crossing the river.
Then they were jointly warned by the four major families.
It immediately died down.
What came this time was not the little snake crossing the river, but the giant dragon crossing the river.
From the random draw on the first day, Liu Wenhao found a blind man to choose the auspicious time of the zodiac for him.
They even had to calculate for him which box to draw the lottery in.
If you win, there will be a reward.
If you can't hit it, behead it.
It was Peng Yue who managed to save the heads of those blind men.
When he couldn't find it, Liu Wenhao told his fortune himself.
Anyway, no one will buy cloth or draw the lottery all day long. He will be there from morning to night.
Everyone had nothing to do, so they followed him to guard.
Want to see if he can win?
Of course, there are also some people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to join the queue, rush to open the Buzhuang, seize the first position, and then sell for one hundred taels of silver.
They even fought for the number one position.
It was also Peng Yue who came forward to coordinate and suppressed the matter.
The "scalpers" waiting in line have also learned to be smart.
No longer waiting for dawn, I took pictures right after Liu Wenhao drew the prize. Waiting until dawn, he would naturally be the first.
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Chen Xinghe frowned and said displeasedly: "The price of cloth has dropped to more than 300 yuan per piece, can you still make money?"
"This is malicious competition that is disrupting the cloth market order."
"This wind cannot last long."
Mu Jianzhang didn't think it was anything.
When doing business, you should try every means to defeat your opponents and make your own family dominate.
This is how you can make a lot of money.
Just like their Mu family's Yipinxiang.
No matter where it is, it is the largest restaurant in that place. Anyone who dares to overpower them will cause trouble.
Xiping Village Buzhuang's ability to suppress its opponents through price cuts is in line with their Mu family's philosophy.
It was the lottery that made Mu Jianzhang a little confused.
He asked Xu Tianhua in confusion: "Xu Jiuguan, what is the lottery?"
"This...I don't know either."
Xu Tianhua shook his head.
"Let's go over and take a look."
Xu Tianhua suggested: "Liu Wenhao still has three draws today, so we can just have a look."
Several people nodded at the same time.
Especially Chen Xinghe, he wanted to see what Zhao Ping was up to.
If he wanted to dominate Qingzhou's cloth business, he would never agree.
In Chen Xinghe's eyes, although merchants are just a small business, they can still earn money. This must be in the hands of the royal family.
Then the royal family members would give these rewards to important ministers, which could also win over people's hearts and make everyone admire them.
In this way, the group of people squeezed through the crowded crowd and arrived outside the shop of Cloth Village in Xiping Village.
There, I really saw Liu Wenhao.
He is currently drawing a lottery.
He reached into the lottery box and wandered around for a while before taking out a wooden sign from inside.
After taking one look, I immediately became excited.
"Acacia wine, acacia wine, I've been hit by acacia wine."
Yes, the prizes have been drawn for five consecutive days. This is the first time Liu Wenhao has won the Acacia Wine.
Extremely excited.
Is this a lottery?
Mu Jianzhang's eyes shone. If Yipinxiang also implemented this strategy, it might bring more customers.
I have to go back and inquire about the entire process of this lottery mechanism.
Study hard and study hard.
If you really understand this, even if you can't get the recipe for acacia wine, this trip will still be in vain.
"Acacia wine? That's acacia wine. Sir, just gave it to Liu Wenhao for nothing? It's just a waste of natural resources."
Xu Tianhua was heartbroken.
It seems that the acacia wine that was drawn is not Zhao Ping's, but belongs to him.
"Where is Zhao Ping? I want to see him."
Chen Xinghe was the most direct and asked loudly.
"Who are you?"
An escort asked warily: "Why do you want to see sir?"
"This is Mr. Chen Xinghe, the governor of Qingzhou."
Xu Tianhua was worried that these escorts would collide with Chen Xinghe, so he hurriedly revealed Chen Xinghe's identity.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhou Mu."
The escort hurriedly said respectfully: "Sir is in Xiping Village, not here."
"If Sir Zhou Mu wants to see you, it's best to move to Xiping Village."
"Sir is busy over there. I'm afraid he won't come to the county town in the next few days."
"Master Chen, what brought you here?"
Peng Yue, who was on duty here, hurriedly came out when he saw Chen Xinghe and bowed to salute.
"Peng Yue, look at the good things you have done?!"
Chen Xinghe said with a dark face.
"Um?"
Peng Yue asked in confusion: "Master Chen, what did I do wrong?"
He asked himself, he had been working diligently and there was nothing wrong with him.
They even wiped out the bandits in Donghai County.
Shouldn't Chen Xinghe reward him?
Why do we blame each other as soon as we meet?
Peng Yue couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xu Tianhua, full of questions.
Xu Tianhua spread his hands, but he didn't know what Chen Xinghe was into.
"snort!"
Chen Xinghe snorted coldly, "Isn't the price of a piece of cloth six hundred yuan?"
"Why does it become four hundred coins here?"
"Even if you buy more, the price will be better. What's the point?"
"How can we sell cloth produced by other companies?"
"I……"
Peng Yue was choked.
He really hasn't thought about this issue.
In other words, what does it have to do with the county governor whether other people's cloth can be sold?
He is a county guard, not a merchant.
But since the county magistrate suggested that he side with Zhao Ping, he naturally had to explain something to Zhao Ping.
"Master Huizhou Mu, if the price of cloth is low, aren't you taking care of the people? At least they can save a lot of money by adding something new."
It seems reasonable?
Chen Xinghe rolled his eyes and found that he was speechless.
After all, it’s best for the people to live their lives well.
Otherwise, the people will not be able to survive, and the world will be in chaos.
Liu Wenhao seemed to have discovered a breakthrough point and hurriedly came over and said: "Master Chen, Zhao Ping is wantonly disrupting the cloth business and competing maliciously."
"Please also ask Mr. Chen to take action to punish Zhao Ping."
"The most important thing is this lottery. Even if you spend eight hundred taels of silver, you may not be able to win the acacia wine. It's just playing tricks on us and defrauding our money."
"Can eight hundred taels of silver buy acacia wine?"
Xu Tianhua asked.
"I……"
Liu Wenhao was also choked.
It seems to be true.
Forget it, deal with Zhao Ping later and continue the lottery first.
Liu Wenhao turned and left.
"Chief Peng, take me to see Zhao Ping."
Chen Xinghe couldn't understand, so he could only go to Zhao Ping, hoping that Zhao Ping could give him a satisfactory answer.
"yes."
Peng Yue did not dare to neglect, got on his horse, led Chen Xinghe and others out of the county town, and headed towards Xiping Village.
"Mr. Liu, I just saw that Mu Jianzhang is among them. Let's not stop the lottery and hurry up and go to Xiping Village."
Yun Chengze recognized Mu Jianzhang and hurried to Liu Wenhao's side to suggest.
"If it were any later, Mu Jianzhang might have taken the lead."
"hehe."
Liu Wenhao sneered, "Be the first?"
"He has to have that ability."
"What's the meaning?"
Yun Chengze was puzzled.
"How can this kind of cooperation be concluded in one go? It will take at least three or five visits and negotiations before it can be finalized."
Liu Wenhao said: "We still have many opportunities."
"Besides, how many people did Mu Jianzhang bring?"
"And what about us?"
"Even if Mu Jianzhang gets the formula, we can just get it back."
"Sooner or later, it will all belong to me."
"Okay, don't disturb me. I just smoked a bottle of acacia wine. I am very lucky. I will definitely get a lot of acacia wine this time."
