As soon as he entered the shop and saw the tall two-story pavilion in front of him, Wang Bin praised and said, "What a spirit!" These days have been busy, and I don't have time to come, but I heard from my colleagues that this shop is magnificent, but I didn't expect it to be so atmospheric! ”

Xu Ping, who was on the side, heard this, and secretly felt ashamed in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese shops, the layout is really dirty, and they are all arranged by him according to the town's supply and marketing cooperatives in his previous life. Facing the building is the building, which sells some daily necessities, and of course some slightly higher-grade goods are also in the building. On one side is the agricultural market, which used to sell seeds and fertilizers, but now it has been changed to a variety of improved agricultural tools. On the other hand, there are local miscellaneous products, and the supply and marketing cooperatives system is responsible for the function of communicating with each other, and now it is selling the special products collected by the three divisions from all over the country. Originally, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town still had a vacant land behind them, as a rural market, and the farmers themselves set up stalls to sell their goods, while the current shops in Kaifeng City could only use the back as a warehouse.

Xu Ping originally wanted to slowly expand these shops from the capital, spread all over the country like the supply and marketing cooperatives in the previous life, and use the strength of the three divisions to form a national commodity circulation market, and at the same time drive the formation of a unified national market. Relying solely on the power of the people, no matter how big the merchant gang is, it cannot cover the whole country, and the markets in various places are still separated. With such a supply and marketing system, in addition to the official commercial tentacles extending to the whole country, it can also play the role of transportation and wholesale, eliminating the risk of long-distance trafficking of merchants. As long as they wholesale in the local supply and marketing cooperatives, they can buy goods from all over the country and sell them to the surrounding markets.

Such a system will play a vital role when commerce is not yet developed, like the mainstream of a river, like the trunk of a big tree, supporting the commercial operation of the entire empire. At the same time, it also promotes the prosperity of commerce, is the engine of the initial stage of the commercial economy, starts the commerce of the entire empire, and flourishes.

However, Xu Ping is a soil bun, and that is also a soil bun a thousand years later, at this time, the shop he built according to his own ideas is still high-end and high-grade in the eyes of the people in the capital.

Obviously, agricultural materials and native products could not attract the attention of these officials, and the two sides did not even look at them, and went directly into the pavilion.

There were various mirrors in the center of the face, and Wang Gongchen sighed when he saw it. He couldn't afford this thing, so the money he carried in his arms naturally had to buy something practical, and he couldn't spend it on it.

After the mirror was produced, the third division, as the head of the yamen, used his authority to pick some back first. A large one was set up in the corridor where the editor entered the hall, and the officials went there every day before entering the yamen to dress up. This is quite a luxurious thing, when it was first put on the table, not only the personnel of the Third Division, but even several nearby yamen were also in an uproar, and officials found all kinds of excuses to look in the mirror in the editing office all day long. Within a few days, the most powerful government halls, the Privy Council, and the academy were also set up, and they also set up a special public servant to guard them every day, and they polished them all the time.

Through the various yamen, the advertisements for the mirror have already been typed, and many officials with loose hands today are coming to the mirror. There are even some wealthy people who are ready to buy a batch and ship it to their hometown to sell, ready to make a profit.

However, the few people who came in now could not afford it, and Xu Ping and Li Zhang, who could afford it, already had it at home, and they were all used by Xu Ping when he made it in his own home.

Walking around the mirror, there are various soaps, towels and washbasins sold next to it.

Soap has been available since ancient times, but it is very, very coarse, and in fact, it was not until the Ming Dynasty that soap became more popular. Now it is far less delicate than Xu Ping's alkali preparation, and various fragrances have been added. The highest-grade ones are even added with high-end goods such as rose water, which smell fragrant and delicate and cute.

As for the towel, it is thanks to the mother-in-law that Sun Qilang brought back from Yongzhou, she is a barbarian, and she has been spinning jibei cloth since she was a child, that is, cotton cloth. When I arrived in Xu Pingzhuang, there was ready-made cotton, so I picked up the old craft again, and spun some cotton cloth to subsidize the family. Now that the production is limited, Xu Ping simply collects them and makes towels for sale.

Xu Ping naturally knew the role of the cotton spinning profession in promoting industry, but he had been an official in Lingnan for many years, and he did not have the energy to spend on textile tools and crafts, and he had little time after returning to Beijing. The time is not ripe now, the population of the Central Plains is still small in this era, the hemp textile industry is developed, and the demand for cotton cloth is not as great as imagined. There have long been sellers of cotton cloth in the capital, all of which are shipped from places like Yazhou, and the price is extremely high, no less than high-grade silk. If you want to develop the cotton weaving industry, you must lower the price and compete with linen, which requires more energy.

The most eye-catching thing is actually the washbasin, the enamel basin of all colors. In this era, there was already enamel technology, but it was very immature and still in the initial stage of development. When Xu Ping was in Yongzhou, he had already changed the steel process, and the casting quality was not known to have improved much, which was enough to ensure the success of enamel firing. The exquisite porcelain effect, the light and strong metal, and the price are much cheaper than the copper basins commonly used now, and the competitiveness is very strong.

When they arrived at the stage, several officials asked the little guy behind the counter to show them the basin. It was Li Zhang, who also squeezed to the front, looked left and right, and chose his favorite suit.

This gift is picked up to honor the old man, and he keeps one to please his wife, and the price is also appropriate, and almost everyone who enters the shop today buys it. There are special personnel in the shop to deliver the goods, and when you leave, you can call them to take them home directly, and you don't have to worry about not being able to take them.

Xu Ping stood aside and watched with a smile on his face. This scene reminded him of the people in the remote countryside who went to the city in his previous life, and he was dazzled by it, and he wanted this and that, and he wanted to move the whole store home.

After a while, everyone chose the color they wanted, went to the supervisor on the side to pay the money, pinched the notes in their hands, and was satisfied.

There are many literate people in the capital, but there is still a shortage of people who can settle accounts. It is still the method that Xu Ping thought, according to the appearance in the shopping mall in the previous life, each counter has one or several supervisors who settle accounts, which can be regarded as barely done. This is also the third division, with a lot of human resources in hand, and it is not easy for ordinary people to open such a shop.

A few people came back, and Xu Ping asked with a smile, "How is it?" How much money was spent? ”

Uncle Cao Ying sighed: "It's inconvenient to carry the hateful copper coin, and after spending the money a few times, the bag will be empty." ”

"Don't worry, there are already countermeasures in this shop, so that people can collect money together when they deliver to their doors, as long as the family has money. Copper coins are not light, how much can you carry? ”

Looking at the crowded crowd around him, Xu Ping couldn't help it. It has always been more than six catties of copper coins, how much can a person carry? If you buy a large number of goods, you can either only bring gold and silver, or you can only collect money at the door, and it will not work to pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other.

Although there is a gold and silver shop under the three divisions next to it, it is also very inconvenient. It seems that for commerce to develop, it will not work without issuing banknotes. However, there are many problems involved in the issuance of banknotes, and we have to think slowly and in the long run.

took the note, and the copper coins on his body were almost spent, and several people became relaxed. When I don't have any money, I suddenly have a much less desire to spend money, which is also a relief.

Fang Kai looked left and right and asked Xu Ping: "I have long heard that there are also fish hooks and fishing lines sold in this shop, but I don't know where they are?" ”

Xu Ping pointed to the counter on the left side of the hall and said, "There, let's go, let's go over and have a look, and go to Jinmingchi in the middle of the day!" The fish there have been raised for a year, and it is the time to get fat! ”

Since the third day of the first month of March, Jinming Pond is open to the public, and the whole city can go in to play, and there is a special fishing area in the south of the pool. However, this fishing area is not free, and you have to pay money first and get a license before you go fishing. At the end of the day, the fish are brought to the side, where someone processes them on the spot, makes soup, or barbecues, and enjoys the spring while eating.

This rule is actually similar to Xu Ping's urban leisure fishing in his previous life, but in the royal garden, there is naturally a different feeling, and the business is quite prosperous.

The editing office has been busy since the beginning of the year, and now it has some free time, so naturally it can't live up to the good spring. By the time of the break, everyone had already made an appointment to go to Jinmingchi to play. It was also the day of this year's trial list of the Imperial Examination Palace, which was particularly lively.

The fish hooks, fishing lines, and bait in this shop, and even the small chairs when fishing are sold in sets, so Xu Ping naturally learned from the advanced experience of his previous life. In this way, related things are sold together, which can boost sales.

When I arrived at the stage, I saw that a group of officials had gathered there. Needless to say, it was all the idea of visiting Jinmingchi.

A few people stepped forward and greeted someone who knew the officials who came first.

Xu Ping was a little surprised when he saw Wang Su also standing here with a servant, and said to him: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why haven't I seen you these days?" What has Zhongyi been busy with lately? ”

Wang Sudao: "It's nothing, just idle at home." Recently, the spring has been bright, so I came out for a walk. By the way, this shop in the third division is really unusual, there are all the things in it, Da Song has never seen such a place before! ”

Xu Ping casually said a few polite words, but he was a little proud in his heart. It is indeed remarkable to be able to set up a department store this year and let the people of Beijing experience the fun of one-stop shopping. Financial resources, material resources, connections, sources of goods, etc., except for the three divisions who have this ability, let alone other businessmen, other yamen can't do it.

The little guy brought several kinds of fish hooks over, Wang Su looked at them casually, picked up one casually and asked, "What's so special about your fish hooks here compared to other places?" You know, there is no shortage of fishing experts in the capital. ”

What is the most popular in the capital? Not officials, but all kinds of idlers, many of whom have a skill. As far as fishing is concerned, there are several famous ones in the capital, which claim to be able to catch any fish. The real rich and noble families have this kind of idler to help them when they go out to play, and everything is done by people with expertise.

Wang Su grew up in wealth, and naturally there were a lot of helpers around him. It's just a whim to buy it today.

When the little guy saw Wang Su's bearing, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, and he smiled all over his face: "Speaking of officials, our fish hooks here are different from other families. Let's just say that the steel used here is tempered and tempered, and no matter how big the fish is, they are not afraid that they will be able to escape. And you see, official, this is a sharp weapon for catching fish, and it has a barb on it, and you can't take it off if you take it off. It's a unique craft, and it's never found anywhere else. This hook is divided into three types: large, medium and small, and can catch all kinds of fish, large and small. ”

Xu Ping smiled on the side, this little guy could literally bloom in his mouth. The steel used by the three divisions is naturally good, but the fish hook is not very picky about the steel, and it usually does not rely on the quenching process, but on work hardening. However, the nature of the third division is much more advanced, and it is still really good to use steel and overheated, but it is not the kind of small guy.

How did Wang Su know what the little guy meant? Just listening to it, he put down the fishing hook in his hand and said casually: "All kinds, take me a few and wrap them together." ”

Xu Ping nodded secretly, this is a high roller. But it's a little strange in my heart, there are a lot of people like Wang Su in the capital, why don't you see a few today? Do you have to wait until tomorrow when there are fewer people? It shouldn't be, they are all people who are used to being in the limelight, how can they be willing to fall behind others.
