Chapter 70: Juxing Tower Again
Shangguan Yue took Shangnan and Baizhi to the fishing incense shop where they bought the goods yesterday.
Understand the terrain and decide how to design it based on the terrain. Modern restaurants all have a stage, which is mostly used for wedding shows.
Now a major project needs to be carried out here. First of all, the floors need to be raised. Two floors are not enough, it needs to be at least three floors.
The open space at the back is too large, so we need to add another building to connect with the current floor.
The stage should accommodate more than fifty people, and space should be reserved on both sides for musical instruments and temporary props.
Bianbian understands this design, so I draw a sketch for her first and ask her to come up with a design. I will let her confirm the specific details later.
After drawing the sketch, Shangguan Yue went to the rouge shop without stopping to take a look.
Chunfen happened to be in the rouge shop preparing to leave for the dyeing workshop, so Shangguan Yue went with her.
In the carriage, Chunfen said that it was easier to buy from the shop next to the rouge shop, because the rouge shop was not big and its business was ordinary before, so it did not arouse jealousy from others.
The business of the shop next to the rouge shop was also average, so as long as the price offered was slightly higher than the market price, it could be bought.
As for cloth clothes, the recent tie-dyed fabrics have made the cloth shop's business much better, and the shop next door is unwilling to sell to them.
There are two reasons.
Firstly, the good business of the cloth shop boosted the business of their store. With more traffic and more customers, there were naturally more opportunities to make money.
The second is jealousy. When doing business, it is not just your peers who are like enemies. Even if you are doing different businesses, your business may be booming while theirs is slow.
Then they won’t be willing to sell it to you, giving you a chance to develop it further.
So if you want to buy, you have to find someone else to do it, you can't buy it in the name of the cloth shop. When buying, you have to show your jealousy of the cloth shop and say bad things about it to make it easier to make the deal.
Chunfen didn't expect that just buying a shop would have so many ways to lose money...
I asked the cloth shop owner to negotiate before the Spring Equinox, no wonder it was unsuccessful and the price was high.
Now she also learned that self-harm can also lead to a different kind of success.
The dyeing workshop was running well and there were no other problems. Shangguan Yue instructed the dyeing workshop's main color matching and tie-dyeing workers to practice and learn more on their own.
If you can match more beautiful colors and tie-dye with more patterns, she will reward you.
Technicians who perform outstandingly on a regular basis will receive additional bonuses.
The amount of the bonus depends on performance, and can be 20% to 30% of wages, or even 50% to 100%.
Shangguan Yue also looked at those who had a high success rate in tie-dyeing this month, those who had good research and development of patterns, and those who had good color matching, and rewarded them all with silver.
At first, the workers thought that the young lady was just talking and that what could a child understand.
I didn't expect that every word the eldest lady said was so well-organized, and she really rewarded people according to their merits.
When I saw the bonuses others received, some of which were equivalent to an extra month's salary, while others received a bonus equivalent to 30% of their salary, I immediately became enthusiastic and motivated.
After finishing the work at the dyeing workshop, Shangguan Yue planned to go to the trading house to hire some people.
She is in great need of people now. Not only does she need to buy more people, she also needs to hire more people.
In the morning, she went to the Yuxiang shop, then the cloth shop, and finally to the dyeing workshop. She even forgot about eating.
It was Baizhi’s first day out, and everything was new to her, so she forgot to remind Shangguan Yue to eat.
Shangnan is more calm and thinks that his master should focus on his work and that the desire for food and drink can be put on hold.
Shangguan Yue thought of the Juxing Tower she visited last time. The environment there was good. Hmm! She decided to go there again.
Maybe it was because lunch time had passed and there were not many people in the lobby on the first floor, so Shangguan Yue did not go upstairs again, so as to avoid having to take out the jade waist badge to reveal her identity.
The first floor was for ordinary people and there was nothing special about it, so Shangguan Yue asked Shangnan and Baizhi to sit down and eat together.
The two of them are not shy and will do whatever their master tells them to do, and they know how to judge the situation.
Shangguan Yan ordered four dishes and a soup, which the three of them couldn't finish, so Baizhi packed up the leftovers.
Shangguan Yue was afraid that she would be too busy in the afternoon and forget to eat, so she asked the waiter to pack a few boxes of snacks for them to eat in the car.
After exiting the gate of Juxing Tower, I saw circles of people gathered not far from the gate.
People are like this, the more crowded a place is, the more they want to see it. Shangguan Yue also squeezed into the crowd.
"Miss, Miss." Bai Zhi also tried hard to squeeze into the crowd with a food box.
Shangnan held the sword and pushed the people away and went in. Those who were pushed away didn't even raise their heads. They opened their mouths to curse, but when they saw Shangnan holding the sword and looking murderous, they immediately closed their mouths and automatically made way for him.
Shangguan Yue was small in stature, so she immediately went to the innermost part to watch the fun.
I thought it was some ancient version of a man's chest being crushed by a huge stone, or a person selling himself to bury his father, but it turned out to be just a few little beggars kneeling on the ground.
So many people gathered together just to watch this? Was there really no place for entertainment in ancient times?
Shangguan Yue was about to leave when one of the little beggars kneeling on the ground kowtowed to a middle-aged man.
"Master, we are wrong. Master, please, please give us one tael of silver."
"Please, sir, our sister has a fever, please give us some money!"
"Master, it's wrong for us to steal your money. I'm sorry. Please be kind and give me some money so I can pay for my sister's medical treatment!"
The three little beggars kept kowtowing.
"Humph! You stole my silver and you want me to give it back to you? If a lowly person is sick, then so be it. It's a good thing for him to die.
Get out of here, get out of here, don't dirty my shoes." The middle-aged man said and kicked away the little beggar who was holding his feet.
The people around who were watching the fun never thought it was a big deal. They all looked down on the little beggar and accused him of stealing the silver.
The bigger the incident, the more people will be involved. Some people will just watch the show, but if they accuse and use moral blackmail, it's not normal for them to be spectators.
The little beggar who was kicked away fell to the ground holding his stomach in pain. The other two little beggars were crying, and one crawled over to look at the little beggar who fell to the ground.
The other one cried and begged the high-ranking middle-aged man, still asking for money.
In modern times, most of them are fake beggars who are lazy and like to eat and eat, and they will gain money by gaining sympathy.
But in ancient times, people were divided into different classes. Beggars were ants, and when they died they were thrown into mass graves.
"Okay! You can ask for money. My shoes are dirty. If you lick them clean, I will give you money." The middle-aged man said proudly with the corners of his mouth pulled.
The veins on Shangnan's hand that held the sword bulged. As soon as he moved his hand, Shangguan Yue beside him quickly held down his hand that was about to draw the sword.
"What are you all doing here? Scatter! Scatter!" A man with a scar on the left side of his face used a sword to push the crowd away.
"This is the entrance and exit of Juxing Tower. Don't disturb the nobles. If you don't disperse, I will arrest you all and take you to the government office for gathering a crowd to cause trouble!" As soon as the scarred man said these ferocious words, the crowd of onlookers dispersed in an instant.
"Hello, Master Jiu! It's just a small misunderstanding. These little beggars stole my purse, so I...sorry to bother you. I'll leave now. I'll leave now.
Jiuye, this is for you to drink tea, it's just a small token of respect." The middle-aged man took out a silver ingot and put it into the scarred man's hand.
The scarred man weighed the silver in his hand and glanced at the middle-aged man.
"Ha! You are quite sensible and have a future. Get lost!"
"Thank you, Master Jiu! Thank you, Master Jiu! I'll get out of here right now. I'll get out of here right now."
Looking at the middle-aged man leaving in a panic, the man with the scar sneered.
"Someone, take these little bastards away. I don't need to tell you what to do!" The scarred man said to the followers following him, then walked towards the Juxing Tower with a swagger.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you guys still watching? Hurry up and leave. Don't interfere with Master Jiu's work."
The three followers each picked up one and threw it onto the carriage, then walked out of the city.
