Chapter 100 Yang Xuan's talent, can enter the cabinet
A new thing has appeared in Yingtian Mansion. There is a new kind of pamphlet in all major bookstores, teahouses, restaurants, restaurants, etc.
The booklet contains anecdotes, stories from story-telling novels, and some roadside anecdotes that happened recently in Yingtianfu.
In addition, it also publishes the prices of some daily necessities, such as a certain merchant, a certain product, the price, the quality, cost-effectiveness analysis, etc.
Occasionally, there will be some explicit orders and notices issued by the imperial court.
This kind of booklet, called Shengbao, is distributed free of charge. As long as you are literate, you can pick it up.
Because the above content was of interest to the common people, it quickly spread throughout Yingtian Mansion.
After comparison by the people, except for the story novels and anecdotes, the others are all authentic and reliable, and have brought a lot of fun and convenience to the people's lives.
This grand newspaper sometimes has one volume a day, sometimes every two or three days. Although the time is not fixed, it is still sought after by the people.
After all, with this great report, there are a lot more topics to talk about after dinner.
The first words of conversation when chatting are: "What's going on in the newspaper?"
In fact, a lot of information can be known with just a little inquiry, but with a good report, it will be much easier.
Yang Xuan comes from a later generation, so he naturally knows that this is called poor information. Some things may seem normal to you, but some people just don't know and are even willing to pay a high price for it.
Yes, this Shengbao was created by Yang Xuan, and it is also under the name of Shengfa Company. It is considered one of the businesses of Shengfa Company.
Of course, except for the directors of Shengfa, no one knows the relationship between Shengbao and Shengfa.
Even in His Majesty's Royal Study, there are reports of each issue on the desk.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was discussing this matter with Prince Hui.
"Yang Xuan is talented enough to join the cabinet."
These words were spoken by His Majesty the Emperor. When Wang Daban, who was waiting on the side, heard these words, his heart was filled with confusion. He really couldn't believe that such a young man could receive such a high evaluation from the Emperor.
When the Dasheng Dynasty was first founded, there were left and right ministers, but due to some events, the Zhongshu Province was abolished, and later a cabinet was established.
The official rank of cabinet college students is not high, no more than fifth rank, but His Majesty the Emperor will consult with them on all matters, and they are basically equivalent to His Majesty the Emperor's think tank.
All the bachelors in the cabinet are talented, upright and well-known.
His Majesty the Emperor personally said that Yang Xuan's talents should be included in the cabinet. What a great praise. After all, Yang Xuan was only seventeen years old.
Prince Hui also nodded: "According to what Yang Xuan said, this great report is the mouth of the imperial court. From now on, the public opinion of the world will no longer be in the hands of those Qingliu."
"This alone is enough to achieve the title of nobility. It's a pity that this matter cannot be announced to the outside world, so it is difficult to show its merit."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Yang Xuan does not seek fame and fame, and he is still young. Although he has meritorious service, there is no need to praise him too much."
His Majesty the Emperor nodded. He was well versed in the Emperor's mind, and his words just now were rare.
…
As soon as the great news came out, in just ten days, the rumors about the department store market had disappeared.
After all, everything stated in the grand newspaper is justified.
In this way, not only this problem is solved, but also the price and quality information of other trading houses are analyzed in a clear and logical way, which is irrefutable.
There are even some shops that purchase their products from department stores, and these shops are also marked.
During this period of time, Jiangning County also arrested the person who spread the rumor in the first place and punished him for slander. He was given twenty canes and three days of shackles for public display.
All the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, and with this operation, the business of Department Store Market has become even better.
For this reason, the Department Store City also published a notice in the Shengbao newspaper, briefly stating that the Department Store City was framed by a traitor and the truth has now been revealed. In order to thank the people for their support, three days later will be designated as Thanksgiving Day.
On this day, all people will be able to purchase goods at member prices, with no limit.
You must know that department stores can only purchase in bulk at ordinary times, basically only for shops, but in this way, ordinary people can also buy their daily needs at the purchase price of the shops.
This wave immediately set off a wave of purchasing in Yingtian Mansion.
This series of operations has made Department Store Market truly a household name in Yingtianfu. Every day, many people come to Department Store with their own goods and sell them to Department Store Market.
The department store market accepts all comers, whether it is rice from home, vegetables grown in the fields, or even firewood cut by farmers in the mountains or cloth woven by peasant women at home, as long as they are of good quality, they will buy them all.
As for the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, under the instruction of Chang Sun Teng, they initially refused to supply and sell the company's products to department stores and did not become members. During this time, they have almost been unable to hold on.
Some shops even secretly purchased memberships and began to purchase goods from department stores, or found others to supply and sell goods to department stores on their behalf.
In response to this situation, Changsun Teng called a meeting of all the shops in the Yingtianfu branch. At Changsun's house, dozens of shopkeepers gathered together.
Seeing that no one was absent, Chang Sun Teng was secretly proud of himself. As the branch president, his words still carry a lot of weight.
Seeing the crowds of people in the yard, everyone talking about business matters, Changsun Teng motioned to the servant to knock the clapper.
After a crisp sound, the shopkeepers stopped communicating and took their seats.
Chang Sun Teng nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat, and began to speak.
First, they made some casual remarks and talked about things from all walks of life. Then the conversation changed and the tone became stern.
"I heard that Shengfa Department Store has made everyone panic recently. What's more, they ignored the ban of the Chamber of Commerce and secretly traded with Shengfa Department Store. This kind of behavior is simply heartbreaking."
Seeing that no one responded, Chang Sun Teng began to call names: "Shopkeeper Jiang, the day before yesterday, your clerk secretly became a member of Shengfa Department Store and purchased three large carts of goods."
"And Shopkeeper Xu, yesterday someone shipped a cart of bean paste to be sold to Shengfa Department Store. The jar of bean paste was clearly marked with your Xu Faji mark."
…
Changsun Teng nodded the names of seven or eight shopkeepers, and finally said: "Dear shopkeepers, the purpose of our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is to unite as one and twist the rope. What you are doing now is tantamount to collaborating with the enemy. I hope you will not do it again.
, otherwise you will be removed from the Chamber of Commerce.”
The companies that join the Chamber of Commerce are basically merchants with little background. After all, if you have a background, why would you need to join the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce? It's just to rest against the big tree and enjoy the shade.
Changsun Teng reprimanded him like this, even if some people relented: "President Changsun, I'm confused. I really can't survive in the shop, but don't worry, I will never do it again in the future."
But there are also those who are strong-willed and confident, and immediately feel unhappy: "President Changsun, I don't like hearing what you say anymore. What is collaboration with the enemy? The way of a businessman is nothing more than the pursuit of profit. Since Shengfa Department Store
Since it opened, my shop has been sparsely populated. Our small family is not as big as Chairman Changsun’s family. If this continues, my shop will have no choice but to close down."
As soon as these words came out, several shopkeepers echoed: "President Changsun, what shopkeeper Xu said is true. We can't help it. We have been holding on for so long and can't hold on anymore. We can't let us
Starve to death."
"Yes, President Changsun, we are not going to refute your reputation, why don't you come up with an idea, otherwise we all won't be able to hold on anymore."
When he saw this situation, the crowd was almost in a rage. Changsun Teng had to suppress the anger in his heart: "Every shopkeeper, don't be anxious. I invite you here today just to tell you that I have my own way to deal with this.
Shengfa Department Store, as long as everyone works together with the Chamber of Commerce, I guarantee that the situation will be restored soon."
