Counties in the Tang Dynasty were divided into levels, with different levels and different official ranks.
Chang'an County and Wannian County belong to the top county-level institutions in the Tang Dynasty, called Chi County.
The officials deployed in Chi County are also of higher grade than other counties.
“It’s a high-end match.”
Early in the morning, Zhuque discussed this very serious issue with Yang Xuan.
"If you work harder, you can become a county magistrate."
"You have to live up to your expectations."
"You have to work hard so that you can recharge my batteries in a fair and honest manner."
"Also, you are still a shameful single, which really disappoints me."
"Have you read all those romance books and those novels about overbearing CEOs in vain?"
"What do women need? Face, money, and fame. When you have enough money, the other two items can be ignored."
"Shut up!" Yang Xuan had a headache from being recited.
"Haha!" Suzaku's voice sounded a little more sinister, "You seemed to be tossing and turning last night and had trouble falling asleep. Young man, believe me, you are in a state of turmoil. Go ahead and find a beautiful woman to relieve you."
During breakfast, Yi Niang announced something.
"Until the husband has a woman of his own, the old thief can go in and out of the backyard without asking for permission."
The old thief stood up and raised his hands in all directions.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Cao Ying smiled and caressed the head of Wang Laoer next to her, which reminded Yang Xuan of the scene where the imperial concubine caressed her cat.
"From now on, we will be our own people."
Wang Laoer shook his head and threw his hand away.
"Does my friend... taste good?"
The old thief glanced at him and said with a ferocious smile: "I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
Wang Laoer stood up.
There were many quarrels between the two over meat.
"The weather looks good today." Yang Xuan stood up and prepared to go out.
Cao Ying stood up and said, "My husband is wise."
Yi Niang yawned, "I still have to give that person some cakes."
Only Wang Laoer and the old thief were left at the scene.
Wang Laoer asked: "Why do you tolerate me?"
The old thief smiled kindly, "You have brought me a lot of joy and laughter. I have always wanted to give you some rewards, and I have endured it again and again..."
It can only reach out to slap the dead person.
Put a bunch of copper coins in it.
The old thief's heart is bleeding.
Mr. Xie was not outside the door today. Yang Xuan asked: "Are you desperate or tired of it?"
"I'm probably desperate," the old thief said.
Mr. Xie is old-hearted and has always coveted Yi Niang's beauty. He squats outside the door every day, not to exchange a few words, just to feel the elegance of his crush when he goes out.
Squeak!
The door of Xie's house opened.
Mr. Xie came out with his cane.
Cao Ying praised: "I admire this persistence."
When passing by the ramen restaurant, Wang Shun was waiting.
"Mr. Lang."
Wang Shun shouted, causing people around him to look over, some of whom were smiling proudly.
Lin Fan was among them.
"There's no business, right? What are those rich people doing... why do they open such a big store? Hahahaha!"
Wang Shun ran over and said, "Lang Jun, most of the business has been lost."
"I know." Yang Xuan saw the glint in Wang Shun's eyes, and he was a little greedy. He coughed dryly and reminded the woman not to covet him, "Except for those who are not short of money, everyone else ran away. Even if they are just greedy for this bite.
, just eat a bowl occasionally.”
The light in Wang Shun's eyes became brighter and brighter, with a little admiration, "Mr. Lang actually knows this?"
"Stupid woman, I thought you would fall in love with her. But you don't know that you would rather be single for the rest of your life than marry her." Suzaku seemed to have turned on his poisonous tongue today.
Yang Xuan looked at the sky and said, "I'm very busy, let Han Ying come out."
Han Ying is now in charge, coordinating everything.
"Is it the woman who makes you breathless?" Suzaku asked.
Yang Xuan took a look and saw that Han Ying was shaking violently as she walked quickly.
"I've met Mr. Lang."
Yang Xuan looked away, feeling that the horse's back was a bit harsh.
"Lang Jun, business is getting worse and worse today."
Han Ying was willing to be a slave to the Yang family just to feel proud, but now her business has plummeted, how can you make her willing to do so?
"I already have a solution."
Han Ying was startled, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Cao Ying said calmly: "Don't forget your duty."
Han Ying was blessed and said, "You are so domineering."
Yang Xuan glanced at the businessmen who were smiling happily and said: "Starting from today, the noodles of Yuanzhou Ramen will be reduced by 30%, the meat will be reduced by 30%, and the fried eggs will be gone..."
"Lang Jun..." Han Ying was dumbfounded.
The dumbfounded woman is a little more cute.
"The price is reduced by 40%."
Han Ying couldn't bear it anymore, "Lang Jun, Yuanzhou Ramen is so simple! Those rich people will probably run away."
Yang Xuan said: "This is a simple meal. Rich people want to eat good and simple. How much does it cost to add noodles, how much does it cost to add meat, how much does it cost to add eggs, even if they want to eat elixir, just give them money... Do you understand?
?”
Han Ying was stunned for a moment, then ecstasy surged into her heart, Fu Shen said: "My husband is wise."
Ahem!
The old thief whispered to Cao Ying: "Look, this person is praising the husband wholeheartedly. The husband you say is wise, sounds very false to me."
Yang Xuan smiled slightly, "Don't panic when something happens, stay calm!"
"Are you calm?" Suzaku shouted, "Go ahead, young man. When you stand on the high hill and look at those villages, you will feel calm from the bottom of your heart..."
Why?
Yang Xuan was puzzled.
“Every village has a mother-in-law!”
Han Ying was blessed again. At this moment, her face was flushed with excitement and her whole body was trembling slightly. "I'm going to go now, Mr. Wang is wise."
She hurried back and Wang Shun came to greet her halfway.
"What did Mr. Lang say? I see my wife is so excited."
Han Ying went back and told Yang Xuan her idea.
Wang Shun clasped his hands together and said, "God, how did Mr. Lang come up with such a tricky idea? If Mr. Lang concentrated on doing business, how could those people survive?"
"Write notices, write new price signs."
Wonju Ramen immediately announced a new price.
"The price is reduced by 40%."
Half an hour later.
Lin Fan was dumbfounded when he saw the popular Yuanzhou Ramen.
"What...what should I do?"
If the prices of their products are lowered, they will be given away for free. No matter how stupid He is, he will not invest money.
"We are in big trouble." A businessman came over and said with a wry smile: "If the price is reduced by 40%, most of our business will be lost. The terrible thing is, if this 40% price reduction continues, how will our business be done?"
“How long can He’s subsidize?”
"Two months at most."
"It's over."
Lin Fan coughed dryly, "That's it, it's just that the He family is in the middle... We are innocent. I will go to Wannian County to see Mr. Yang, businessman, and let's make peace and make money."
Everyone was grateful.
Lin Fan went all the way to Wannian County.
"Please see Mr. Yang?" Zhang Gu looked at him with an indifferent expression.
"Please tell me." Lin Fan stuffed a small bunch of copper coins.
"Wait."
Zhang Gu went in and dawdled for a while before going to show off his skills.
"Seeing that he was not a good person, the villain tortured him for a while."
Yang Xuan didn't look up.
Cao Ying stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome."
Cao Ying left the county house.
"Who are you……"
Lin Fan had met Cao Ying and knew that he was Yang Xuan's sidekick. He hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "Lin Fan, the little man, has started a business of eating. In the past few days, someone has been provoking...Mr. Cao, we dare not refuse that person."
ah!"
"who?"
"He's."
"oh!"
Cao Ying turned around and went in.
"Hey! Mr. Cao!" Lin Fan hurriedly caught up, "Please Mr. Cao say a few words for us, so that everyone can raise the price again, otherwise... I have an old mother and a child waiting to be fed... Life is difficult.
!”
Cao Ying stopped and said, "Go back."
So easy to talk to?
Lin Fan secretly rejoiced, "That thing about raising the price..."
Jun Wu said nothing. Whatever Lang Jun said, it was what it was. Cao Ying said sarcastically: "This is how the price will be from now on."
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao..."
Cao Ying went back and told the story.
"This is just a small matter, you handled it well." Yang Xuan was reading the paperwork.
Cao Ying sat on the edge, watching him deal with official matters, and couldn't help but feel happy in her eyes.
Yang Xuan suddenly raised his head, "Qiu Sheng is a little annoying."
Cao Ying lowered her head, "Yes."
He got up and went out to look for the old thief.
"Go and keep an eye on Qiu Sheng, looking for clues."
After returning, Cao Ying kept waiting for Yang Xuan to ask, but she never came.
Lower Yamen.
Yang Xuan led the people out.
"Lang Jun, Qiu Sheng."
Qiu Sheng was in front and said with a smile: "Way to go."
Yang Xuan passed by him and said:
"I won't send it to you."
Qiu Sheng turned around slowly, "What does he mean by this?"
"Mingfu is coming out."
When Qiu Sheng heard this, he turned around and cupped his hands, "Everyone came out after everyone left the Ming Mansion. I am ashamed of my hard work as a low-ranking official."
Huang Wenzun nodded and mounted his horse and left.
Qiu Sheng kept his smile until Huang Wenzun disappeared from sight.
He rode his horse on Zhuque Street.
The setting sun shone on his body, making him look blood-red.
All the way to Daodefang, there is a row of stalls inside the collapsed wall on the right side.
"Dry biscuits, they won't go bad even in March, they are a must-have when going out."
"Hu cake, fresh Hu cake."
"Cooked meat!" A fat girl yelled at the top of her lungs. She hit the chopping board with the back of a kitchen knife and looked around with her small eyes. When she saw Qiu Sheng, her eyes lit up, "Here comes my father-in-law!"
"Coming."
Later, the old thief who was following me stopped.
"That's pig meat. Can Qiu Province eat it?"
Rich people eat mutton or even beef, while ordinary people mostly eat pig meat. After all, Qiu Province is the county magistrate of Chi County, so it’s not short of money!
Qiu Sheng said with a smile: "Here comes a pound."
The second wife responded loudly, waving the kitchen knife with great skill, and soon the whole pound of cooked meat was packaged. She offered it with both hands and smiled flatteringly, "My husband comes to my business every day, will you come again tomorrow?"
"
The second lady's eyes were full of hope.
Qiu Sheng nodded vigorously, "Come, keep coming."
Return home.
"Where's Ah Cai?"
When the old wife saw the oil paper bag in his hand, she sighed: "You buy pig meat every day and you raise a dog just for such smelly pig meat. You are crazy."
Qiu Sheng just laughed.
The big dog was brought in, and Qiu Sheng spread the oil paper bag and divided it into two halves.
"Half the dog, half you!"
His wife is fierce and her children don't dare to comment on what she says.
Qiu Sheng raised his head and was not angry.
"Yes! I am not like a dog."
The old thief didn't go home until night.
Yang Xuan is reading a book.
The old thief said: "Mr. Lang, there is an illegitimate daughter in Qiu Province."
