Snow also began to fall in Kaifeng City. Soon, the heavy snow covered the entire Kaifeng City like a layer of black gauze. However, no matter how heavy the snow was, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the people in Kaifeng City.
This year is a good year.
In previous years, the national treasury was increasingly full, but the extermination of Xia and Pingliao also cost a lot. Moreover, through large-scale infrastructure construction such as river management, water conservancy, and straight roads, as well as the establishment of industries, the expansion of commerce, and the redistribution of wealth, part of it was transferred to the hands of the people.
Since it has only been tried for a few years, the effect is not yet obvious.
The productivity and economic conditions at this time made the people poor, but it was easy to get rich immediately. Finally, this year came, and the people clearly felt that not only were the rice jars at home full, but they also had a lot of living money in their hands.
Yes, I am willing to spend it outside.
So this year in Kaifeng City, tens of thousands of people from various counties in Gyeonggi came out of the villages, went to the county first, took a convenient public carriage or a multi-section rail carriage, and spent a few copper coins to go to Tokyo.
Go shopping and buy new year goods for the whole family.
It’s so close to Tokyo, but I haven’t seen it for half my life. It’s really frustrating. Now that I have money, I must come back.
Some families come here, so why don’t they just spend a few more copper coins on the car? Later, they will spend even more on buying new year goods. They are willing to give up a cow, but they still care about the tail of the cow?
So this year Kaifeng City is extremely prosperous to the naked eye.
The shops in various commercial streets in the outer city were crowded with people. The waiters who used to go to the street to greet them no longer had to go out. They were blocked by people from various counties who came back to the shops early in the morning.
This one asked, that one talked, this one counter-priced, and that one settled the bill. The clerks in each store were so busy that it was difficult to close the shop at night, and everyone collapsed on the ground, not wanting to move a little finger.
But the door will still open early the next morning - if you keep the God of Wealth out, you will be thundered.
Zhao Si, Ming Zhaoxia, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Lin, Zhao Rong, Zhao Bei and the three tigers of Jingling, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Lian and Zhao Geng, were mixed in the crowd and enjoying themselves with the people. Hundreds of guards in disguise were mixed in the crowd, faintly
Protect them.
Yang Weizhong stood not far away, cooperating with Yang Zongmin, the chief attendant of the Secretariat Provincial Attendant Office, to direct and arrange the security guards for the official family.
"Songjiang muslin, the best muslin in Songjiang! The muslin used in summer is the most cost-effective to buy in winter! Why? The season is not the season and the owner has a tearful sale! In summer, a piece of muslin sells for 1 yuan and 90 cents, but now it only sells for 1 yuan, which is half the price.
Damn, where can I find this price?”
At the door of a cotton shop, a waiter sat on a high ladder at the door and greeted loudly.
Following his words, groups of people, who felt that they were getting a bargain and would suffer losses if they didn't buy, poured in.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd, we have plenty of stock in the store! You, you, hold the blue cloth, the cashier is over here, go check out quickly. There will be too many people and confusion, and I will squeeze you out of the store.
, squeeze into the street, and when we report to the official, you will be disgraced."
The guys sitting on the high ladder took the time to say hello, maintain order, and occasionally catch one or two guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
Sit high and see everything.
"The best deerskin clothing and deerskin socks, carefully dyed, are specialties of the Eastern Japanese country, purely handmade, inherited for five hundred years, and full of the spirit of craftsmen! Such good things have traveled across the ocean and come here after a lot of hard work.
Here, you happen to meet it. This is a God-given opportunity! How much does such a good opportunity cost? Not four yuan, not three yuan, just take two yuan!"
Next door is Dongguk Grocery Store, which specializes in products from Korea and Japan.
"The Korean red lacquer ware was hand-made by the Korean royal family craftsmen. If it is any worse than the tributes in the palace of the King of Korea, we will immediately pay three times the compensation. Come and buy it. How much does such good lacquerware cost? It only costs 500 coins!
For five hundred coins, you can enjoy the same utensils as the King of Korea!"
"Eastern Japanese paper fans, the fans are all painted by well-known eastern Japanese painters, and the paintings are all about the local customs and customs of the eastern Japanese. For two hundred coins, after buying it back, you can know the customs of the eastern countries thousands of miles away even when you are sitting at home... elegant
An indispensable accessory for a gentleman. It sells for 500 cents a piece in the summer, buy it now and you will make money!"
Zhao Si listened to these cries and nodded secretly.
Li Qingzhao couldn't help but murmured, "Are red lacquerware and Japanese paper fans sold so cheaply now?"
Zhao Si and Ming Zhaoxia turned around when they heard the sound and asked in unison: "Have you bought it before?"
"That year, I came to Tokyo with my father, wandered on the streets, and bought two pieces of red lacquerware and Japanese paper fans. They were similar in quality to the ones sold now. One cost 600 cents, and the other cost
Two passages of three hundred essays."
Ming Zhaoxia couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that after seeing your appearance as a rich girl, the merchants are asking for high prices?"
"At that time, I was accompanied by Uncle Li Liu. He was the external steward of our house. He was the best at negotiating prices, and he was able to kill half of the price."
Li Qingzhao said clearly.
"That means Dongguo's goods have depreciated in value." Zhao Si said meaningfully.
"Guardian, how come Dongguo's goods have depreciated so much?" Ming Zhaoxia runs a women's self-improvement meeting, and sometimes comes into contact with some economic matters. She subconsciously realized that there must be a mystery in this, and couldn't help but ask quietly.
"There are many reasons. The productivity of the Song Dynasty has improved, and everything can be produced. The goods produced in the Eastern countries such as Goryeo, Dongwa and other countries in the past have become less rare and cannot be sold at a high price; Goryeo, Dongwa and other countries are very interested in the products of the Song Dynasty.
The demand for products is increasing day by day, but the financial resources are exhausted, so we can only desperately collect and sell various domestic products at low prices to obtain more money to buy Song Dynasty goods..."
Zhao Si thought for a while and finally said, "It may be that my money from the Song Dynasty has become very valuable in the Eastern Kingdom. Things that used to cost one hundred cents can now be bought for ten cents. They are trafficked back.
, the price will naturally drop.”
"Well, this is a very interesting phenomenon. We can ask the Secretary Provincial School Book Bureau and the Shangshu Provincial Administration Bureau to take the lead and organize scholars from Sungkyun University and the Institute of Trade and Industry of the Gwuyuan Institute to conduct in-depth research on this phenomenon."
The three tigers of Jingling and the three sisters gathered together and chatted for a long time. Zhao Lin and Zhao Rong ran to Zhao Si.
"Dad, I heard that the Changqing Building in front of us is one of the seventy-two floors in Tokyo. We are all hungry. Dad, can you please invite us to have a nice meal at the Changqing Building."
The two of them, one on each side, took Zhao Xi's left and right hands and shook him from side to side until he almost fell apart.
Ming Zhaoxia sneered at the side: "On the way just now, your mouths have not stopped, and you have never stopped eating various snacks. Are you hungry now? Who are you trying to tease?"
Zhao Si disagreed, "It's okay, let's go have a meal. It's rare to come out and have a good meal. Children are like this. Everything outside is better than what's at home."
With Zhao Si's permission, the six princes and princesses cheered, and the three tigers from Jingling took the lead and rushed directly into the bustling Changqing Tower.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I was blocked by the waiter.
Sorry, there's no room! There's no space in the lobby to add a bowl.
The three tigers of Jingling Ling looked disappointed. However, the three of them were constantly warned by Zhao Si and the concubines and did not dare to play with the prince's majesty. They could only look at Zhao Si pitifully. In their eyes, their father was always omnipotent.
Zhao Si smiled. In a large restaurant like this where officials often come and go, there must be several private rooms secretly left vacant by the shopkeeper for emergencies.
He signaled Yang Zongmin to come forward to negotiate.
Soon, the shopkeeper ran out and invited Zhao Si and his party into the largest private room. This chapter has been completed!
