Not long after, the little guy led a middle-aged man to Xu Ping and bowed: "Little Cheng Benzhang, I've seen an official." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xu Ping saw that Cheng Benzhang was in his forties, with black hair on his forehead, and he had a polite temperament. I have a little impression in my memory, it should be Xu Chang's subordinates back then, and he mentioned it in the past two years to be the director here.

Xu Ping pointed to the large row of dishes on the table not far away and asked Cheng Benzhang, "How did you think of selling vegetables like this?" It can't be whimsical, there's a reason, right? ”

Cheng Benzhang said: "Back to the officials, the small one is that I heard that many yamen sell food to officials like this now, and I was inspired by the shop opened by Captain Zhang's family a few months ago, so I came up with this method. ”

Xu Ping didn't know why, and asked Wang Gongchen beside him: "Taiwei Zhang is the former privy envoy Zhang Yuanbi?" Isn't he still an official in Xiangzhou? What kind of shop did he open in his house? ”

Wang Gongchen said: "Which other Captain Zhang can there be in the capital?" It's him. He is an official in Xiangzhou, but his family business is still in the capital. There are countless children and grandchildren in his family, although he is rich, there has been no other income in the past two years, and many children and grandchildren still feel inconvenienced. Since the opening of the Sansi shop, there have been many shops selling all kinds of groceries in the capital, and the one with the best business is the one opened by Taiwei Zhang's family more than half a year ago. If it weren't for the fact that Sansi Shop had the most complete goods, the business would really not be as good as his family. ”

The goods produced by the new field are not only sold to the three shops, but also other shops can be sold wholesale. There are only a few shops in the three divisions, which is obviously not enough for the huge capital, and as the goods inside are familiar to the people of the capital, there are many shops that have followed. But if it is said that it can be better than the business of the three shops, Xu Ping still feels a little surprised.

Looking at the companions sitting around, they all had strange expressions, Xu Ping couldn't help but ask Wang Gongchen: "Jun Zhen, what are the means of Captain Zhang's shop?" How can there be such a good business? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Gongchen smiled: "Other shops are all learning the pattern of the three shops, the goods are behind the counter, and the guests want to buy them to let the people in the shops come over and see." And it's the money to buy one and pay for one, which is quite inconvenient when there are too many people. The shop at Taiwei Zhang's house removed the counter and hired a few more servants to watch the store. The goods are picked at will, and if you fancy something, you just put it away, and then count the money together. In this way, it is much more convenient than other shops, how can business be bad? ”

Xu Ping opened his mouth, but finally did not say what he had to say. This is - a supermarket? Zhang Qi's son, how can he not be serious, but he has talent in this regard. Among the characters at the level of the current ruler, Zhang Qi and Chen Yaozuo have the most descendants, the Chen family has more than a dozen sons, and Zhang Qi's sons are more than 20, and the grandsons can't be counted. With such a large family, although Zhang Qi is generous, he cannot guarantee that everyone will have good clothes and food, and his descendants will inevitably have to use other brains. Especially after Zhao Zhen became pro-government, Zhang Qi fell out of favor, and there was a lot of extra money, and everyone was even more varied.

After being stunned for a while, Xu Ping asked Wang Gongchen: "I don't know which one of Taiwei Zhang's family came up with this strange method?" ”

"The descendants of the Zhang family, where are there such outstanding characters? This method was come up by Taiwei Zhang himself! ”

Xu Ping became more and more surprised, and asked a few people who came with him to understand the reason.

When Zhang Qi was in power after Empress Dowager Liu was in power, he was also a privy envoy, and his income reached the peak of officials. But this man's greed for money has reached an extreme, not to mention anything else, the servant girl hired by the family makes him want to be paid, and after he has made it, he will do everything possible to earn the money back from these people. Think about it, the dignified privy envoy, in charge of the military and political affairs of the whole country, for the sake of the slave girls in the family so that the money in his hands is not spent outside, when he is sick, he personally shows these people, and there is a pharmacy at home, and he charges the same as the doctors outside for medicine. That's not all, in order to earn money for these people to buy daily necessities, he runs a business in his own home. Every time he came to the Gu family, he would put out all kinds of goods in the corridor of the house, and let the servants and concubines of the family buy them, so that he could make money.

Doing business at home, naturally there is no need to be as strict as the shops outside, this is the prototype of the supermarket. The business in the capital was driven by the three shops, and his children and grandchildren took Zhang Qi's method outside, and it was a real hit, and the business was booming.

Xu Ping only felt that his thinking was almost unable to keep up, the world was changing too fast, maybe in a few decades, there would be many new things that he could not have imagined would appear in this era.

Zhang Qi is also a strange person, he has been with Emperor Zhenzong who was still the crown prince at the time since he can remember, and when Zhenzong ascended the throne, he rose to the top as the old man of the domain. Before ascending the throne, Song Zhenzong was forced by Taizong to send the Empress Dowager Liu out, Zhang Qigong respectfully helped Zhenzong raise it in his own home for more than ten years, and the status of the Empress Dowager Liu was unparalleled when she was in power. This person who has followed the emperor all his life prefers money as his life, and he can think of any way to make money.

Xu Ping could only sigh and sigh, sighing that people's wisdom is really infinite. Don't think that you have to teach them new things, as long as you open a door, people in this era can walk out of a bright road.

Asked the supervisor to go back and be busy with himself, Xu Ping sighed for a long time. From this, I also understood in my heart that in fact, as long as I grasp the general direction and point out where the road is, I don't need to do everything by myself. There is no shortage of talented people in every era, but they just didn't walk on the path that suits them. The mood that has been dull these days suddenly brightened, and there is no need to carry the responsibility of the entire era on your shoulders, if you lack the knowledge of the thousand years, you may not be better than how many people in this era. The path has been pointed out, and now it is up to you to find the pathfinder.

After taking the wine and food, Xu Ping led the three rounds of drinking, put down the wine glass, and said to Wang Yaochen and Han Qi: "It just so happens that the two of you are together, and I am about to discuss something with you." Since Fan Xiwen left Guozijian to go to Zhikaifeng Mansion, Guozijian has been led by the Imperial Court, and there is no one to preside, so it is not a way to go on in the long run. I have a candidate here, and I want to recommend him to be the official affairs of the country, I don't know what you think? ”

Han Qi said: "I don't know who Yunxing wants to recommend?" In recent years, there have been many well-educated people. ”

"This person is not very old, he is a jinshi in the first year of Jing You, Li Ji of Fangcheng County."

When Li Jing followed Xu Ping, Han Qi had also met him a few times, but he was only a general acquaintance and did not know much about it. After listening to Xu Ping's words, he turned to Wang Yaochen and said, "Boyong had a lot of contact with him when he was in Xijing, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yaochen nodded: "Jingxi Road's compilation of "Rich Country and People's Policy" can be justified and self-contained, and Li Ji should be the first to take the lead." Although he is not yet in his thirties, he is a suitable person for profound learning, full of poetry and books, and unique insights. ”

The direction of the major reform has been set, and Xu Ping is also going to start his own personnel layout. The first thing to occupy is the ideological position of Guozijian. As a matter of fact, the banking system must be down, the entire political structure has changed drastically, and in order for the reform to be carried out smoothly, the establishment of ideology must keep up.
