Chapter 498: Investigate the shops in Xifu
On the two stone pillars, one is engraved with Tianya, and the other is engraved with Street Market. Together they are the four characters of Tianya Street Market.
Although the stone pillars have been weathered and a little worn, the four characters on the stone pillars still look full and full. The four large characters are magnificent, reflecting an impeccable and unparalleled momentum.
At this time, Cheng Xiuming introduced: "These two pillars stood here when Jingqi City was built. They have a history of 360 years. You can also see from the stone pillars that they have some Years have passed. In fact, with the means of the twenty-six aristocratic families in Jingwei City and the Xifu, it is completely possible to repair or renovate the stone pillars. The reason why it was not done..."
After a pause, Cheng Xiuming pointed to the four big characters and said: "The reason why they don't do it is not because they find it troublesome or because their means are not good, but because they want to demonstrate their forging skills and see the lifelike "Tianya Market"? Did you find that these four characters have an impeccable and unparalleled momentum? Yes, this is the joint masterpiece of the twenty-six weapon-making families in Jingqi City and our Xifu."
"The purpose of doing this is to tell the world that even if the stone pillars have been corroded by weather and frost over the past hundreds or thousands of years, their forging skills are still impeccable and unparalleled. Therefore, there is such a strong contrast between the characters and the appearance of the stone pillars. , they did it intentionally.”
"That's it! Interesting."
After listening to Cheng Xiuming's introduction, Tang Yi nodded and laughed, finding it very interesting.
The four inner disciples following Tang Yi also nodded their heads after receiving the instruction, feeling that they had gained a little more knowledge.
After listening to the historical origin and meaning of this stone pillar, Tang Yi and his party walked slowly again and entered Tianya Market.
At this time, Tang Yi suddenly discovered that the stores in the market are very different from the stores outside the market. The stores here are several times larger than the stores outside, and they are very beautifully decorated. Each store has at least two to three people. layer.
The most important thing is that the names of these stores seem to be very unified, such as 'Tianya Zhao Family Arms Shop', 'Tianya Wang Family Armor Shop', 'Tianya Xu Family Decoration Shop' and so on.
Basically all the names start with Tianya.
Seemingly seeing Tang Yi's doubts, Cheng Xiuming on the side seemed to be a know-it-all, and once again explained to Tang Yi: "Sir, special envoy, do you feel that the shops in the market are not as big as those outside? Do you feel that the shops in the market are not as big as those outside? The names of the shops are all strange? Actually, the shops in this Tianya Market are all shops run by the 26 aristocratic families in Jingqi City and our Xifu. Some small merchants or outside merchants cannot enter because they are not qualified. We operate a shop in Tianya Market, so the shops here are larger and more luxurious than those outside, and the equipment in the shop is also much higher-end than those outside. "
"The reason why the store name here needs to be prefixed with Tianya is because it needs to be distinguished from the stores outside. After all, there are many stores outside, such as the Zhao family's store and the Wang family's store. It is difficult to tell which one is which. This makes it difficult for others to tell.”
"But when it comes to the Tianya Zhao family's store, everyone knows it clearly. They know that this is a store in Tianya Street, a store belonging to the Zhao family, the twenty-six weapon-refining family in Jingwei City, and the store outside Tianya Market is It is not allowed to add the word Tianya! Therefore, there are two levels of shops in this Jingqi City, one is ordinary shops and the other is Tianya shops. Tianya shops are the twenty-six weapon refining worlds in Tianya Market. Stores, ordinary stores are stores operated by foreign merchants or some small merchants.”
"I see!"
After listening to Cheng Xiuming's explanation, Tang Yi nodded and understood.
I have to say, this naming method is really good.
Not only can it allow others to distinguish the shops, but it can also raise the level of the shops in Tianya Street, and at the same time improve the status and reputation of the shops of the twenty-six weapon-refining families.
In this way, Tianya Market will become more famous and more popular.
This is a very smart way of doing business.
It’s no wonder that Jingqi City has become a big economic city.
"So our Xifu store is also here?" Tang Yi asked suddenly.
"Yes, Special Envoy." Cheng Xiuming nodded.
"Okay, since you came here hiding your identity, don't call me the special envoy. From now on, call me Young Master. This is also convenient." Tang Yi ordered.
"Yes, special... Young Master." Cheng Xiuming cupped his hands and said.
"The same goes for you." Tang Yi turned his head and said to the four inner disciples behind him.
"Yes, Young Master!" The four inner disciples also responded in unison.
"Okay, Cheng Xiuming, tell me about the situation of this Xifu store." Tang Yi turned around again and ordered Cheng Xiuming.
"Okay, sir."
Cheng Xiuming nodded and said respectfully: "In addition to sending a strong man of the Zhan Zong level to guard this place, the Xifu also sent many inner disciples to run the shops. Many of these inner disciples specialize in cultivating weapons. They are from the Gen Palace in the outer palace and have good qualifications, but they are too old to advance, so the Xifu arranged them here to specialize in forging and running shops. "
"We in Xifu have a total of five shops in Tianya Market, two of which deal in weapons, two of which deal in armor, and one of which deals in accessories. These five shops are also one of our important sources of income in Xifu besides tax. The daily profit reaches An astonishing number. Although it has not been as good as before in the past two years, it is still an astonishing number. "
"Oh? Profit has dropped in the past two years?" Hearing this, Tang Yi asked curiously.
"Yes, although I don't know it clearly, the profits of our Xifu Tianya Market stores have indeed dropped a lot in the past two years." Cheng Xiuming nodded.
"Do you know the reason?" Tang Yi asked again.
"Disciple is not very clear. I heard that the special envoy of the inner government once sent people to investigate, but there was no result. Anyway, the passenger flow is much less, and some valuable utensils cannot be sold at all, especially those above the earth level. "No one cares about it at all," Cheng Xiuming thought for a while and replied.
"Has the passenger traffic decreased? Can't we sell high-end weapons and equipment?" Tang Yi pondered for a moment, suddenly an idea flashed and he thought of something, but when he turned around, he couldn't remember it anymore. He shook his head. He just thought that he was thinking of something. Too much.
"Let's go and check out the shops in Xifu. Remember to call me Young Master. Don't get involved when the time comes." Tang Yi said.
"Yes, sir!"
Cheng Xiuming and the inner disciples responded together.
