The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the people of Yong County finally know what's going on with the newly built shopping mall at the West Gate.
Shops, all of them are shops, dizzying and lingering shops...
There are restaurants, goulan, inns, cloth shops, clothing stores, music workshops, jewelry shops... and a vegetable market that occupies five shops.
From then on, they no longer needed to run all over the county to buy a few things. In this small shopping mall, there were only things they couldn't think of, and there was nothing they couldn't buy.
The people who used to live near the West City Gate were the poorest people in Yong County. In the past few months, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Merchants from all over the world can no longer rent shops in the shopping malls. Foreign businessmen are not allowed to buy or sell land in Yongxian County for the time being. They can only pay high rents to the surrounding people and rent their houses as shops.
They immediately became the wealthiest group in the county.
It is not just these people who have changed their lives. The textile-based workshops also provide many ways for local women who are at home to make money. They can choose to weave at home, sell them to cloth workshops, or work in cloth workshops. , get a certain salary every month, and can also raise silkworms and sell silkworms...
Jingguo's fabrics and garments, especially silk, are very popular in all countries. No matter how many goods are produced, there is no need to worry that they will not be sold.
The tradition of men farming and women weaving has not changed, but the delicate women have supported most of the sky in their homes with a pair of skillful hands.
Later research showed that in Yong County, the famous silk town of Jingguo, the tradition of men eating soft food and fearing guilt began...
Although the standard of living has improved, the consumption power of the people in Yongxian County is limited, and they still rely on these businessmen from all over the country. Even for transactions in Yongxian County, part of the tax has to be paid to the local government, and the rent of the shopping malls is not cheap. , but it is far, far better than them taking many risks to trek across mountains and rivers.
Just two days after opening, the shopping mall is already overcrowded.
After all, there are cheap bastards, and many of the shops in it are opening big bargains and end-of-year clearance sales at the same time. Double discounts, if you miss this time, you will have to wait until next year.
"Ten coins in the audience, ten coins in the audience, if you can't buy ten coins, you will lose money, if you can't buy ten coins, you will be fooled..."
"The shopkeeper is in a hurry to go home to celebrate the New Year, a big sale at a loss, a big sale at a loss, the last two days, the last two days!"
"The shopkeeper ran away with his sister-in-law, so we had to pay the wages with ruyilu and perfume. All of them are half price, all half price..."
…
As long as there are such shouting shops, there will be an endless stream of customers, and the colleagues around are stunned.
Ten pennies, half price, loss... If they all do business like this, then the businessmen in this world will starve to death long ago.
These Jingguo businessmen really have no bottom line at all...
Money is so important, for the sake of money, you don't even want face
But looking at the other party's crowded store, and then looking at the few people in their store, the expressions of other people began to become complicated.
Finally, a few people whispered a few words to the clerks in their own shops. Those clerks hesitated for a moment and walked out of the shop.
"The new store opens, the second one is half price..."
"Buy three and get one free, buy five and get two free, buy ten and get five free!"
"For the opening ceremony, ten yuan will be deducted for every 100 yuan, and fifty yuan will be deducted for every three hundred yuan..."
…
The crowd split into several groups and rushed towards those shops.
In the crowded crowd, a man in blue walked out of the shopping mall, looked back for a long time, turned his head around, and exited the city gate from another direction.
Opposite the shopping mall, on the second floor of a teahouse, another man in blue looked away, got up and said respectfully to the young man opposite: "Master Xu, this man's name is Zheng Bang, he is the envoy in blue, and works under the envoy on the right... "
…
In the chaotic place, a man in blue looked at Fang Yu and said: "Guardian, it has been confirmed that that place has indeed been turned into a square city. I have seen it with my own eyes. The shops there are doing very well. If we go through the west gate Invading, you can first loot all the goods and money there, which is very convenient... "
Fang Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "What happened to the city defense in Yong County?"
The man in blue thought for a while and said, "There is no unusual movement. I have already contacted our dark man. He said that there is no sign of the Yongxian defense being mobilized. If there is any news, he will notify us immediately."
Fang Yu nodded and said, "Do it on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month!"
"inappropriate!"
The king of Shu strode in from the outside and said: "There are people from the bald head side. They suggest a few days in advance, on the 11th of the first lunar month, and the fifteenth of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. The county will definitely strengthen its defenses in the first three days. Suitable, can minimize the loss."
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, then seemed to remember something, frowned, and said: "It is said in the yellow calendar that on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, travel is forbidden."
The king of Shu knew that the holy religion was troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. There are queens and empresses, and they still believe in the almanac. He frowned and asked, "Where is the almanac?"
Fang Yu casually pointed to the table.
The king of Shu walked over to have a look, picked it up, and said with a smile: "This is from this year, and in a few days, it will be next year. This yellow calendar is out of date..."
"It's the eleventh day of the first lunar month." He looked at Fang Yu and said, "I'll send someone to notify those bald heads, and start preparations now, so as to be safe!"
Fang Yu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
The two discussed for a while, and the King of Shu left in a hurry.
Stepping out of the gate, he looked up at the sky, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said sinisterly: "Li Yi, King Jing... we will meet soon, surprise or surprise..., aren't you going to get married soon?" , this king will give you a big gift just before your big wedding!"
Inside the room, Fang Yu looked at the person behind him and said, "Go and get a new almanac."
"Yes, Guardian."
The man nodded, walked out immediately, and quickly took out a new almanac.
"The 11th day of the first month of the Yihai year is suitable for receiving money."
"This is God asking me to receive money from the holy church." Fang Yu was very satisfied with this, nodded, looked at him and said, "You go out first."
"Yes." The believer walked out with a little doubt in his heart.
The almanac says that it is appropriate to receive money, but the almanac does not say who is appropriate, what if—what if it is the other party
…
In a chaotic place, somewhere on a hill.
A few figures crawled hard on the mountain road, panting from exhaustion.
"I said, if there is a big road, why do you have to go over the mountains..."
"Don't complain. Although those bald-headed roads have made the road smooth, you should hurry up if you take a shortcut. It will delay His Highness's affairs, so be careful."
"You say that the place where the bald head lives is really as good as they say, a city in the mountains, with restaurants, bars and schools, why don't I believe it..."
"Believe it or not, you'll see for yourself after a while."
…
A few people chatted while climbing the mountain, and when they climbed to a certain position, their eyes suddenly opened up.
A smooth avenue meanders straight to the top of the mountain. Looking around, it seems that there are shadows of buildings hidden in the forest.
Just as they took a few steps forward, a few feathered arrows suddenly shot out from the forest, obliquely piercing the ground in front of them.
The person walking in the front couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If the arrow went down and up an inch, his feet would be pierced.
