[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

Peach Blossom Island has a lot of industries in Qingyuan Prefecture. After all, it is the most convenient place to land on Peach Blossom Island. There are teahouses, wine shops, cloth shops, and even a brothel.After thinking about it, Huang Jin went to Buzhuang first.

At this time, the cloth shop did not simply sell cloth. The cloth shop not only displayed high, middle and low grades of cloth, but also had embroiderers who provided tailor-made clothing for customers. Jewelry is actually a comprehensive building for women's clothing and accessories.

The cloth village where Huang Jin went was named Jinyifang, a very common name, and the business was tepid.As soon as Huang Jin arrived, shopkeeper Yu immediately came to see him, and Huang Jin met him privately on the second floor of Buzhuang.Yu Zhanggu also knew that although the little master in front of him was young, he was also from the Jianghu, with many means, so he was very respectful.

Huang Jin took the account book presented by the shopkeeper and looked through it. Within a quarter of an hour, he went through all the account books of the past year, and kept it in his heart.Huang Jin sighed: "The business of our cloth shop is not very good."

"Master Mingjian, there are 530 high-grade cloth shops in Qingyuan Mansion, and most of the top ones are related to the local government. Jinyifang only gets a share of the pie if it is protected by the master." Shopkeeper Yu explained.

"That's the reason." Huang Jin nodded, "But it's the first time I go out of the house, and I always have to make some achievements to make my father proud. Why don't you take me to the shop first, so I can think of a way .”

"Yes, the young one will lead the way for the young master." Shopkeeper Yu is not like the legendary slave who satirizes and fools the young master. In fact, the property belongs to his family. As a professional manager, the deeds of prostitution are all in the hands of others. The migrant workers here are not so enthusiastic.If the owner has self-knowledge, it doesn’t matter if you try it, and the family’s big business will suffer a lot; if they don’t have self-knowledge and bring down the shop, their family has already saved enough money. In the business circle of Qingyuan Mansion He is also quite famous, so he is not afraid of losing his job.

The cloth shop is closed today, shopkeeper Yu deliberately dismissed all the work, and is ready to welcome the little master.

Huang Jin was led to look around, and he could see traces of special cleaning. It has been the same way to receive inspections throughout the ages, and the corners and heels that have not been cleaned for 800 years are only swept when the leaders inspect.

"Are all these fabrics put together?" Huang Jin asked, pointing to a pile of obviously high-grade fabrics.

"Yes, little master. They are Qingtiansha after the rain and Fanhuajin. They are the best in the store."

One batch is elegant silk yarn like fine celadon, and the other is magnificent brocade. Even if the price is as expensive, they should not be put together.Huang Jin went to other places again, but he didn't expect that the shop even had combing ladies and rouge powder, and the business items were too complicated.

After reading it, Huang Jin didn't make any comments on the spot, but said: "Master, I know it all in my heart, come back in three days."

After leaving Buzhuang, Huang Jin went directly to the brothel.The brothel under the name of Peach Blossom Island also looks like an ethereal fairy.It is impossible for the brothel to be free of idle people and wait for Huang Jin to be received exclusively.Fortunately, it was daytime, and the girls in the building were all asleep. Huang Jin quietly entered the madam's room and listened to her introduction.

The brothel is the same as the cloth village, and it is neither above nor below the medium water level.The main purpose of operating these industries is to inquire about news. The main source of income of Peach Blossom Island is pearls, corals and other marine products.

"Slave pays respects to the little master." The bustard who manages the brothel is also an outstanding person who has retired from the business. He is not as gaudy as in film and television literature, but dignified and gentle, just like a lady of a big family.

"My mother has done a good job over the years, and I have noticed it. This time, I want my mother to introduce me to some girls with potential and characteristics... Mom, don't worry, it's a good thing." Huang Jin thinks she is very personable nodding and smiling.

Even the well-informed bustard felt unnatural for a moment, this pretentiously mature tone, and this skilled attitude asking to see the girl... The old bustard was really uneasy, and it was hard to get a generous and decentralized man In the background, the bustard is also unwilling to make extra troubles.Let the master know that he seduced the little master badly, and he didn't peel off his own skin. Thinking about the methods of the people in the world, the old bustard couldn't help but wink at the dumb servant behind Huang Jin.

The dumb servant nodded slightly, and the old bustard went to ask some girls to come in with all his heart.

Huang Jin couldn't help laughing, he also saw the action of the procuress, Huang Jin always couldn't remember his current image.

Huang Jin still had a sense of proportion, sitting upright behind the white gauze screen, and the five women who entered the door walked in front of him. Huang Jin had excellent eyesight, and when he listened to their talking, playing the piano, and dancing, he could count them by heart.

After seeing Huang Jin's talents, he was dismissed. The old bustard was very pleased that the young master was such an "honest gentleman", and finally saved his life.

"Come to Jinyifang at tomorrow's hour, the young master has something to give." Huang Jin returned after leaving behind a word, leaving behind the anxious madam.

On the third day, Huang Jin gave the two of them a thick stack of proposals, explaining in detail how to modify the shop and packaging.

"Shopkeeper Yu, this shop is closed first, and it will be opened in a month. The newly opened shop is named Yuyifang, and it specializes in luxurious fabric jewelry. , Simple and elegant clothes and fabrics can even be given to talented women and scholars for free, but they are not sold to upstart merchants who only have silver. The building does not sell gold and silver jewelry, but only sells jade ornaments. These two shops must be rivals. It would be good to make a lot of noise about this news, but the private relationship must be kept secret."

"Mom's daughter Tingting changed her name to Youlan. In the future, she will be dedicated to receiving literati. Don't discipline her too much. Hold her with arrogance like a princess. Dress her up only with things from Mingyue Tower. An'an changed her name to Ruyi, and everything goes well. Ruyi, she only uses things from Yuyifang to dress her up, and the two of them should dislike each other." The old bustard, who was not mentioned, arranged it at will.

"The specific plan is clearly written, and you can figure it out."

"Yes, I understand." The two complied obediently.

Huang Jin raised his eyebrows. In the past, the elders in the family took over the influence, or simply started from scratch as an adult. He didn't expect that it was the first time to intervene in the family business as a minor, and he was not interfered by the "veteran".Shopkeeper Yu and the old bustard accepted Huang Jin's proposal very calmly and calmly, they were not perfunctory, let alone overwhelmed by surprise, so they accepted and bowed.Sure enough, no one is a fool, Huang Jin sighed.

In vain Huang Jin thought the plan was perfect, but he didn't expect that no one would buy it.

Huang Jin stared at the two people cautiously at the beginning, maybe they were obedient to others, but he didn't expect that the two of them had completely carried out his order, and now they are waiting to see the effect.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, it was highly respected. The three major elements of famous prostitutes, eminent monks, and literati almost constituted the cultural history of the Song Dynasty.From the scandal between Song Huizong and Li Shishi, down to the story of the oil seller and the oiran, the tolerance of the whole society is unimaginable.Just like Song Lizong, who was in power at this time, also recruited into the palace many times, which led to the atmosphere of the whole society laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes.There are also many Taoists who study in a serious manner on weekdays, but at night they also like to "sleep in cold buildings".Prostitutes drive the fashion trend, and many ladies are proud to imitate the dresses of prostitutes.At this time, there are also many students who are both excellent in color and art, and their literary accomplishment is better than that of Xita's famous students.It is a very ingenious entry point to open up the cloth and jewelry markets.

Not to mention Huang Jin's poems.Those poems were later famous poems praising beauties and famous prostitutes, and they were used to build momentum for Youlan and Ruyi, which was more in line with the atmosphere of admiring talents in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Youlan has a noble and pure temperament, only willing to write poems and talk about paintings with others, and regards her benefactors as floating clouds;The most official thing is that the two still can't deal with each other, one is a misty immortal, and the other is a rich flower in the world. Coupled with the addition of those poems, Hongxiu Academy quickly became famous in Qingyuan Mansion, and finally brought two Cloth business.

Huang Jin has been staying in Qingyuan Mansion for three months, waiting for things to ferment and stabilize before he is sure that his strategy is correct.No one is a fool. When the commerce was extremely developed and reached the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Jin’s small ideas could only be icing on the cake. The key is that the poems of later generations played a sublimation role.

Huang Jin also taught the two managers many techniques of building momentum, guiding public opinion, and packaging products before Shi Shiran left Qingyuan Mansion.

The business network of the rest of the prefectures has been inspected all the way, basically referring to the model of Qingyuan Mansion, splitting and integrating to make money quickly.This is a world of martial arts, and the presence of the imperial court has been greatly diminished. As one of the top five industries in the world, the government dare not take too much control.Huang Jin asked the shops to pay taxes according to the rules and create jobs and taxes for the state government. Such shops are welcomed by any government in any dynasty.

After tidying up the shop at home, Huang Jin was also preparing to go home.This time, he did not travel far enough to reach the low level of the Yangtze River, and he has been wandering around in the Southern Song Dynasty, very unwilling.Huang Jin has been wandering in the northern land for many years, and misses it very much, so he rented a boat and prepared to go north.Because there is no property in the north, he just packed lightly and planned to bring some special products from Shanxi to let Cheng Yufeng see things and think about people, but he did not expect to encounter bandits.

Huang Jin laughed angrily. There were only a few people in their group, not to mention their luxurious clothes, and they also brought a few carriages. No matter how you looked at them, they were all fat sheep.

In the middle of the road, more than 100 bandits with hoes and shovels stopped them, stammering their lines: "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, stay and buy the road."

"We don't kill people either, as long as you keep your money obediently."

Huang Jin saw that although they were all men, they were sallow and emaciated, dressed in rags, and the weapons they carried were farm tools and even kitchen knives, so he guessed that they were not bandits, but ordinary people who couldn't survive.

Huang Jin didn't intend to embarrass them. With a snap of his fingers, the people in front fell to their knees and asked, "Who are you?"
