Chapter 119: Developing and Red-eyed
The crazy Ning Thorn Shi can't control too many consequences now, and he is bent on arresting and torturing those businessmen, this order has just been issued, and as soon as the news spreads, before he can catch it, some businessmen will take the initiative to come over.
When the businessman sent this picture, he no longer had respect for Ning Tingshi in his heart, but was grateful to the Chamber of Commerce in Luzhou, that is, Lord Zhang Zhongzhang.
When the goods were brought back, it had already been said that if Ning Tingshi started to arrest people here, he would immediately hand over the map to Ning Tingshi, so that the merchants would not have to worry.
At that time, the businessmen here in Qinzhou didn't believe that Ning Tingshi could do something to them, thinking that Master Zhang was thinking too much, and they usually helped the Ning family do something in Qinzhou, otherwise how could the entire Qinzhou develop by themselves, who could believe that Ning Tingshi would dig his own grave?
Reality gave them that fantasy a hard slap, and as soon as the army was mobilized, they knew it, which businessman would not have a little eyeliner? In order not to suffer a loss, this is the method of transportation.
In fact, it is very simple, transported from the waterway, pulled the net under the water, put the goods in the net, dragged all the way here, and secretly went ashore in the place where there was no inspection on the way, this is still the method of smuggling Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan at the beginning of the past, which was concealed from many people at that time, and then gradually discontinued, so that it could be taken out for local people.
Ning Tingshi looked at the picture in his hand, looked at the merchant again, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be transported like this, rest assured, this official just wants to find you to come over and get together, and you have helped the Ning family in the past, don't think about it, this official has not considered arresting you." ”
"Adults just don't say that we also understand in our hearts, how can adults catch us, but we always feel that it is not good to secretly transport things over, so I want to let the adults know the method as soon as possible, so as not to cause more losses to adults, adults, I haven't been with adults for many days, I don't know when adults will have time, enjoy their faces and get together?"
The merchant who sent the picture had a reassuring smile on his face, and asked Ning Tingshi a little flatteringly.
"This is not in a hurry, I have been too busy recently, and after a few *** officials, I will naturally find you to get together." Ning Tingshi knew the method of transportation, so he didn't plan to say anything more to the merchant, and said casually, which meant to let the merchant leave by himself.
The merchant was also sensible, and hurriedly said: "Then I'll go back first, adults must take care of their health, Qinzhou can't be without adults." ”
The merchant turned around and left after speaking, and after leaving the house, his face sank, now he understands what kind of person Ning Tingshi is, and he is not afraid of the cold hearts of the merchants in Qinzhou when he does such things, and it seems that he will no longer be able to do business with the Ning family in the future, let alone transport the goods from Luzhou to this side.
What to do, we need to see how Lord Zhang in Luzhou will arrange, and if it's a big deal, I will go to Luzhou with my family and money, and there should be a deal for them to do.
The merchant's mind changed, and Ning Tingshi's mind also changed, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and put all the blame on the local merchants, thinking that the merchants didn't help their families to guard Qinzhou well, and secretly transported goods over, if they didn't send troops to arrest people this time, how could the merchants honestly send things over?
"Someone, order to go down, the people patrolling the Qinjiang River, check the things under the ship, and all the goods that come across will be confiscated from the official." Ning Shushi threw the paper in his hand lightly and commanded the people standing guard outside.
On the dock in Luzhou, the two remaining ships of the Ning family have not much to do, there are only some food and a small amount of goods on them, and the ship that really loaded the goods has hit the reef on the way here, and they are not in a hurry now, the first task is to accompany the people from the various families who came from Kaifeng.
The main purpose of their visit this time is not to make much money, but to see the situation here, and after learning more, they can know what goods they can make more money next time, and this time they only need to earn back the travel expenses.
As a result, as soon as I got off the boat, I fell in love with the Haiyunjian branch here, and they ate the dishes one by one, and they wanted to taste all the dishes in Haiyunjian, as well as the scenery here.
It's hard to come out for a walk, you can't always come up and do things, the family doesn't ask for a long time to go back, and finding more fun things is the main thing.
These sons and women all have money, they eat whatever is expensive, and use whatever they spend more.
Now Li Xun was happy, he also found out the identity of the person who got off the boat, wanted his hobbies before, and thought that others should also be interested, so he hurriedly found some people who could speak well, and went to fool those sons and brothers to play in the mountains, as long as fifty yuan at a time, they could see the charming scenery, and they could live in a wooden house.
Coupled with some fishing and boating entertainment, as well as all kinds of food and drink, these full tickets are only 100 yuan, that is to say, take out 150 yuan, everything will be taken care of, you can stay there for ten days, from the beginning of entering the mountain, it is only 15 yuan a day, for rich people, it is not much.
Those individuals were really fooled, oh, they were not fooled, they agreed to join the tour group, and they didn't care that the people of the Ning family were there to invite them to Qinzhou as guests, so they got into the carriage directly, looked at the scenery on both sides all the way, and went towards the mountain, and the goods were still on the boat, and they would talk about it when they came back after they had fun.
Li Xun was afraid that they would recognize him, so he didn't show up this time, watched the team leave, happily found Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and said to the two: "It's open, it's open, ten days is not enough to play, if you want to see it all there, you can't go at all in a month."
I decided, after ten days, to tell them that they would have to wait two months before they could go to other more interesting places, at least the rainbow waterfall that they wouldn't see, so that they would be thinking about it even when they got home.
Then let them participate in a half-day hunt on the last day, maybe they can find more friends when they come over next time, and who says it takes a long time to make money here? ”
Looking at Li Xun's excited appearance, Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Yes, Li Gongzi can actually make a big deal, since he wants to lure them, it is better to draw the activities that will appear in the future with a piece of paper first, so that they can see it, and it is best to draw it with color." ”
"That's right, that's it, draw it, make sure it is drawn, and engrave it, and then print all the pictures in color overprints, and when they leave in ten days, everyone will give them more, and let them go back and use this to promote when they brag to their friends."
Li Xun's eyes lit up, and he felt that Zhang Xiaobao's idea was good, and added some more, this is the direction of his development.
But thinking of the Zhang family's ability to make money, Li Xun always felt that he could still dig it, and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Is there any way to make more money?" ”
"Yes, there is no urgency in this matter, we will talk about it in a few months." Zhang Xiaobao had already had an idea, but it was not suitable for immediate arrangement at this time.
Li Xun thought that Zhang Xiaobao needed to go back and ask the masters at home, nodded, and left happily, looking for someone to make some pictures of the scenery that would appear in the future.
Li Xun left, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also began to get busy, since the two of them let people burn glass, now they burn out a large piece of glass, in fact, it is very wasteful to do this, that is, dig a big pit, and then pour the water of the glass into it, and wait for more to become a large crystal.
It's also done for fun, especially some little babies, two people want to make enough things for them to play, right at the wharf, now the population of Luzhou has increased, and it will be more prosperous in the future, plus Hainan Island, you can unite to let others come to travel.
The children of the poor family can't manage it for a while, but the rich family has no problem, and if you want others to come, you can't just say how much money you spend at one time, so that when others come over, you always feel that you are deceived, and the early stage is ***.
The way is not to tell others about this, but to add the lottery to the things sold, there is a certain probability of being able to draw, whoever draws it, then you can come here to play once, up to five people at a time, the children of the poor may not come, and give the lottery to the rich.
Of course, it is impossible for the children of the rich to come alone, there must be people to protect them, and there must be people to serve them, and five people seem to be less, and there can only be four people to assist, so if you want to send more people, one is to buy the prize of the poor people's children, and the other is to spend your own money.
In addition to such children's ***, there is also a kind of couple's ***, such as a couple's three-person tour, a couple's five-person tour, whether it is a man or a woman, or a woman and a man, but it is to make a couple luxury *** tour.
I want to come to those rich sons in the family, seeing this situation, I will find a way to persuade the woman I like to come over, even if you have money, it doesn't matter if you find a few women from the Qinglou to come over, you can make money after all, the travel expenses and accommodation are ***, and the food can be eaten well if you are reluctant to spend money.
But if you want to eat better things and play better things, then pay for them yourself.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are making things that others think are novel, the tall slides are all made of iron sheets, and the craftsmen here can perfectly connect the iron pieces used in the slides.
There is such a thing as rapids, from a high place to make a boat fall, the buffer place is with a large amount of fish gelatin, for safety, the two people decided to increase the cost a little, there can be no dead people, but now there is no here, to pay a high price to come there are also people willing to play.
The other is the labyrinth, not only the labyrinth on the ground, but also the underground, where the upper and lower parts are connected together, and if you enter from an opening above, you must go through the underground and then go up to the surface to get out.
At that time, the cost of such a maze would be expensive, and few merchants could afford it, but there was no fear here, the people would give some food and drink, pay some wages, and soon the maze would be repaired.
There are three people here, and now two people are making haha mirrors, and they have already done the processing when cutting glass, and it is estimated that it is not so smooth, and the difficulty is even greater than that of flat, and others have made the glass, and the two of them will make that layer of tin foil for the glass.
Wearing thick gloves, the body is also tightly wrapped, even the eyes are blocked with diving goggles made of glass and fish gelatin, there is nothing wrong with the tin foil, but the mercury is poisonous, the two people don't want mercury poisoning, make one and put it next to it, and take a photo, sure enough, it has become a variety of shapes.
As he was doing, Wang Juan came to inspiration and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "You said that you also use this kind of protection when making matches, so you don't have to worry about others being poisoned?" Don't stay in that environment all day, work in the match factory for an hour a day, and then go to do something else, when other people come over to change shifts, it's not always convenient to use the sickle. ”
"Do you know how to make safety matches? Otherwise, the kind of matches made can easily cause fires, and what is used to fill them? With a paper tray? Paper isn't cheap these days. ”
"Why do you want to make safety matches, matches specially for the rich, when you use it, you can use it lightly, others will be surprised when you look at it, even if you give them to play, you can fall down when you walk, how can there be absolute safety, paper is not difficult for us, and you can make it in large quantities immediately.
I decided, to make matches, a box of matches is fifty, even the box is twenty yuan, and the cost is less than a penny, you don't care about this matter, I'll get it myself. ”
Wang Juan has her own ideas, and she doesn't need Zhang Xiaobao to cooperate, Zhang Xiaobao really doesn't believe that Wang Juan is making matches for the sake of making matches, I don't know what her plans are, since the two of them have their own responsibilities, let her do it.
Haha mirrors are easy to make, more than 20 mirrors were quickly made, in addition to this, there are some by-products made casually, that is, kaleidoscope, two people are naturally used to seeing it, not rare, but others have not seen it will definitely be attracted, and it is also sold to rich people.
Otherwise, all the people will use it, and the price of the mirror and glass will be discounted, and the two of them don't want to take care of the entire Datang people selflessly, unlike salt, which is indispensable for daily necessities, and whether glass and mirrors have the same life for the people.
The next day, the two of them began to act, found the people who had nothing to do for a while, called them, and began to make a large labyrinth, one by one wooden planks were made first, and then they dug a pit, and the two of them designed a more complex maze drawings.
The people didn't know how to look at the drawings, so they drew them with lime where they needed to dig holes in the ground, and they could dig along the traces of lime.
The people don't know what these tunnels are used for, but they have food and wages, so they dig and are idle, and they can hoe the grass in the field for a while every day, and the rest of the time is used for odd jobs.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found craftsmen to make a big slide, as well as the trough of the torrent, the torrent can only lead the water of a river and set up a waterwheel on it, otherwise there is nothing to enter without water.
Three big projects started at the same time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to guard every day, and there were three dogs, Wang Juan said that he had seen other people's training, but when she was waiting for her training, the effect was not very good, the big dog was smarter than the puppy, often the puppy has not learned, and the big dog can follow the order to do something.
That's fine, the big dog will learn, and the little dog will learn from the big dog.
The glass mirror and the things made of glass were just given to Li Xun for him to give gifts, and the others were not sold out, and the two of them had to wait for the goods to be distributed throughout the country at the same time when there were more goods.
In the prosperous scene on the land of Luzhou, the history of Ningshu in Qinzhou couldn't sit still, other places were not as good as Qinzhou before, he didn't think so, and he was willing to let Qinzhou develop according to the rules of the Ning family, but now Luzhou is different from other places, and it is far ahead of Qinzhou.
In this way, Ning Shi Ke felt unbearable, if it was just Luzhou developed, it would be nothing, after all, the Zhang family had money to invest, but the states around Luzhou, such as Lianzhou, Shangsizhou, Sumao and Xiangzhou, also developed.
These states all got the benefits of Luzhou, and the merchants sold things in their respective states when they entered the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time collected things in their respective states and sold them to the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce.
At first, I didn't think it was like much, but as the taxes collected by several surrounding states had some spare money, and the merchants spent money to build some key roads in order to be able to travel faster, this gap became apparent.
Other states have developed, Qinzhou because the population is much smaller, and the merchants buy and sell back and forth, but it is worse than before, which makes Ning Zhong unbearable, he actually wants to develop, but the Ning family must take the lead, Luzhou because of the oppression here in Qinzhou, he does not plan to give the Ning family any chance at all.
The Ning family had no chance, and Ning Zhong could not let the local businessmen also have a chance, so he thought of learning from the Zhang family, transporting precious goods from the capital, and developing on his own, but the goods on the two ships that were tentative for the first time were robbed by Zhang Zhong, and the second time four ships hit the rocks.
If you want to send a ship from the capital again, there is no money to buy a ship over there, you need to transfer money from other places, and you have to buy the goods again, and the loss of the Ning family is not small.
And even if it is done like this, it will be delayed for at least half a year, half a year, which is not short, and when the time comes, I don't know what the development of Luzhou and the surrounding states will become, and it will be even more difficult for Qinzhou to chase it.
"No, I have to find a way to deal with Luzhou, even if Qinzhou is poor, I can't make Luzhou rich." Ning Zhong frowned and muttered quietly.
