Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

Regarding the development strategy of Bachuan, the meeting was discussed for three days.

Afterwards, Li Longji issued an order, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Industry, General Supervisor, Sinong Temple and other ministries and departments began to organize manpower to implement the plan.

Next, a large number of officials, craftsmen and servants poured into the Bachuan area. Construction of official roads, inns, customs houses, streets, etc. began in full swing.

In Chang'an City, everyone from princely families to traffickers and commoners gradually learned about the plan to develop Bachuan, and the popularity of this topic also reached its highest level in a short period of time. Qianqianwannu

Among them, many people saw business opportunities.

Because the development of Chang'an City is framed by the city, it is difficult to make major changes, but Bachuan is different. As the junction of Bahe and Chanhe, Bachuan itself is the distribution center for water transportation and Chang'an. In addition, Bachuan

With the prosperity of Chuanjie Market and the construction of royal gardens such as Ansheng Garden, the future development prospects of this place are immeasurable.

As a result, a large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen who got the news drove to Bachuan one after another, trying to make arrangements in advance, just to get a share of the pie.

Just when the rich people from all over the world gathered in Bachuan, a piece of news suddenly made them all excited.

There is a notice saying that the Bachuan Theater located in Bachuan Market has set an auction date, and interested parties can go there.

Bachuan Theater is the earliest place to be built in Bachuan Market, and it is also a landmark building in the market. Its commercial status and importance need no introduction.

It covers an area of ​​more than 20 acres in a place like Bachuan Market, where land is at a premium, and whether it is the open-air theater or the Tingqu Neiyuan, every performance is full, and you can make money just from the ticket money.

The bowls are full.

On the day of the theater auction, the huge open-air courtyard was packed with people waiting for the auction to begin.

Zhou Jun and Kong You were sitting on the second floor of the restaurant next to the venue, watching everything in front of them.

Kong You looked around the arena and said to Zhou Jun: "Everyone in the master's house is almost here."

The latter nodded and said: "Let's get started."

Kong You got up and left the room, but came back a short while later and said, "Everything has been arranged."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jun first motioned for Kong You to sit down, and then said: "The Bachuan Theater is just the beginning. Next, most of the business in the market will be sold in batches and exchanged for property."

Kong You thought for a while and asked: "If we use silk to sell it, it will be a large sum of money. I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the buyer to collect it together. How about adding some of the silk that can be freely circulated in the Western Regions in addition to the silk?"

Gold, silver, jewelry, spices, etc.?”

Zhou Jun shook his head: "No, when selling in Bachuan Market, the first goods accepted are grains. The second ones are silks, gold and silver."

Kong You was stunned: "Food?"

Zhou Jun nodded slightly.

Kong You thought for a moment and asked, "Master, is there a big disaster coming?"

Zhou Jun looked solemn, closed his eyes and sighed.

Kong You saw Zhou Jun's expression and knew that he was right, so he added: "The soil in the north is hard and dry. Digging the earth for a cellar can store millet for more than a hundred years without deterioration. The family of Jin's family is in Panhe, Xiutu, Fulu, etc.

There are a large number of grain cellars in the land, which can be used to store grain."

Zhou Jun: "Collecting grain should be done step by step, supplemented by silk, and don't let others see any flaws."

Kong You cupped his hands and said seriously: "You will keep this in mind."

Zhou Jun: "This matter is of great importance. You will stay in Bachuan and take full responsibility. I will go to Shazhou first. After you finish handling the business in the market, you can go there to find me."

Kong You nodded in agreement.

Listening to the constant bidding sounds outside the window, Zhou Jun turned his attention to the courtyard again.

Hearing a high-pitched voice, Zhou Jun took a few more glances. Seeing that the person calling the price was beardless and ugly, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is that?" Kong You looked carefully and replied:

"He's from the East Palace. He seems to be the prince's personal servant. His name is Li Jingzhong."

Zhou Jun first heard the word "East Palace" and was a little lost in thought.

He didn't expect that the prince would come to join in the theater auction.

Then, hearing the name Li Jingzhong again, Zhou Jun recalled it carefully, but then he remembered that this person was Li Fuguo, a famous official in history books.

Kong You saw Zhou Jun's expression was different and asked: "Master, what's wrong?"

Zhou Jun looked at Li Fuguo from a distance and said to Kong You: "This man is the prince's confidant. He has won Li Heng's trust. Once he gains power, he will have power over the whole government."

Kong You heard it and kept it in his heart silently.

The auction at Bachuan Theater took more than half an hour before it finally came to an end.

In the second half, the price increase and competition became so fierce that even Zhou Jun, who was used to seeing money, was a little surprised when he saw it.

Finally, the Bachuan Theater was bought by the Yang family for a high price of 280,000 yuan.

After the auction, Zhou Jun and Kong You walked down the restaurant and happened to see Yang Guozhong, who was very satisfied and satisfied, discussing the future plans of the theater with his friends who were traveling with them.

Seeing Zhou Jun coming towards him, Yang Guozhong stopped talking, smiled slightly, hurriedly took a few steps, came to the front of the former, raised his hands and said, "What a coincidence today, isn't this Zhou Jun?"

Zhou Jun returned the courtesy and said: "Mr. Yang Taifu."

Yang Guozhong straightened his back and said with a grin: "The prince-in-law has been living in the mansion for a long time, so I am afraid that the news may be blocked. A few days ago, the saint moved Guozhong to become the minister of the Ministry of official affairs."

Zhou Jun heard this and congratulated again: "Yang Shangshu."

Hearing this call, Yang Guozhong's pores felt extremely comfortable, and he couldn't help but say: "Zhou Lang is a talented person, and he could have made great achievements. Unexpectedly, there was chaos in Shazhou, but the saint named you to put out the fire... It's true.

It’s a pity.”

When Zhou Jun heard this, he did not show any anger on his face. He just replied: "It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the king, so why should he care about where to serve? As long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, Jun will be happy even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire.

And go."

Hearing this answer, Yang Guozhong was a little surprised and looked embarrassed, so he could only respond casually a few times.

After thinking for a while, Yang Guozhong remembered something and asked Zhou Jun: "I heard from the official in charge of recording land at the Ministry of Household Affairs that Pang Zuojian donated all the private property in Bachuan Market to the Princess Mansion?"

Zhou Jun: "It's true."

Yang Guozhong asked again: "Why did the princess want to sell the Bachuan Theater?"

Zhou Jun: "The princess's mansion is already underpopulated and lacks talents who know how to run the business. Jun will go to Shazhou to report on his work soon. After leaving, the mansion has no time to worry about the management of the market, so it can only bear the pain to sell some of it.

Part of the private property is put up for sale."

After hearing this, Yang Guozhong laughed and said: "Mr. Zhou, I am much older than you. Don't blame me for being too talkative. Only the sages set the strategy for the court. From now on, Bachuan will be the place where treasures are gathered, and the streets will be filled with treasures."

Business is priceless, only a rising tide lifts all boats. Selling it now is undoubtedly a short-sighted move."

Zhou Jun bowed to Yang Guozhong and said: "Jun has been taught, but he is about to travel far and has no choice but to do so."

Yang Guozhong saw that Zhou Jun was stubborn and stopped trying to persuade him. He handed over his hand and said, "In that case, Zhou Jun might as well hold more auctions like this. The rest of the Yang family dare not boast, but these light goods of silk and silk are sufficient and given."

The price and storage will satisfy the princess."

Zhou Jun cupped his hands and thanked him.

Then, the two chatted some more and said their goodbyes.

When he walked to the alley of the courtyard, Yang Guozhong looked back and found that Zhou Jun also happened to look back.

Yang Guozhong had a smile on his face, but he said contemptuously to his friend beside him: "This is what a fool is doing."

On the other side, Zhou Jun sighed with emotion to Kong You: "What a kind man."
