Two or three things about returning to Xiangcheng

Many people died as a result.So the common people knew better that their emperor was a benevolent emperor, and they would have meat to eat and sleep to follow the emperor.

So after the national edict came down, follow blindly, what the emperor said must be right.I don't know if this is a good thing for Han Liang, because the national edict began to clearly encourage the work of commercial firms.The tax is also very low. If it is a small business, even the tax is not collected. More and more people start to do business. His jade shop is really going to be submerged in the trend.

Whether Han Liang is willing or not, the eighth year of Tianyuan has come, and they are all one year older.This year, Dawa also gave her lucky money symbolically, because they are relatives.Han Liang leaned in Dawa's arms and watched the fireworks set off by other people's houses, feeling very good.

If it continues like this, I am willing!

Unfortunately, he didn't think too much, because at this time he thought of his father again.It's no longer passed on to the Han family, so it's still necessary to take the test of merit that Father Han said!

This year must not be wasted, Han Liang vowed secretly!

【Jade shop】

Even in the south, the wind in spring is still a bit strong. When a gust of wind blows, there are children quarreling with their parents to fly kites.The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a good day.The twin brothers and the little stick closed the store and came to add trouble, because they haven't sold a piece of jade since the twelfth lunar month.

Although there is no shortage of wages, but seeing that others are making money, how can they be ashamed to eat free food!

"In this way - let me think about it again, there is always a solution!" In fact, Han Liang has been thinking about this situation for a long time, but unfortunately he still didn't get along well.

"Do you want Brother Dawa to paint a few more paintings?" It was Xiaoyou's attention.

"It may not work. Many jade and antique shops from aristocratic families have bought masterpieces by famous masters to show off. The status of this mysterious talent is so popular for a while, but it may not be effective for a long time." It is Xiao Zuo's concern, which has been out of the past few years. He has the cunning qualities of a businessman.

"What brother Zuo said is true. The identity of this mysterious talented man is perfect. Once he draws another painting with flaws, it will be over, so he will not be allowed to paint in the future. Maybe it can be cheaper, and the small stick Be polite to your guests, and carve you into whatever they want you to be. For such guests, you can spend more money!"

"Oh!" Little Stick didn't know why he listened to his master, he listened instinctively regardless of whether it was right or wrong.

"Master Han..."

"Family, don't use such a foreign name!" Han Liang stopped when he heard Xiao Zuo say this, and he was absolutely unambiguous when he said that he was a family.

"Maybe we can also learn from other firms and build a good relationship with various big names. They will be too embarrassed to reject us!"

It's not that Han Liang didn't think about Xiao Zuo's statement, but he finally decided not to do it.One is that he does not want to follow in the footsteps of others, and the other is that the customers he snatched in that way are not long enough. Once the relationship deteriorates on that day, the business will be taken away.At this time Xiao Zuo said it, and Han Liang rejected it after explaining it this way.

"Well, compared with those shops of other aristocratic families, what are we most afraid of?" Dawa thought of a method in his head, but he didn't know how to make money.

"Brother Dawa's words are very good. We find out our strongest point, and then highlighting it is naturally the highlight. But where is our strongest point?"

……

"Ha!" After a while of silence, Han Liang laughed out loud, and everyone knew that he had an idea. "Little stick looks like I'm going to trouble you now!"

"What do you mean?" It's the little right baby who always knows how to ask questions.

"That is, we can let customers come in and carve by themselves. We are responsible for providing raw materials and masters. You have to sharpen your guns and learn about carvings in the past few days. Wow, you should go too."

"Yeah! But this way of attracting customers can be quickly learned by others!" Xiao Zuo didn't worry.

"Huh!" Han Liang said proudly, "I bet the old Naxi people are reluctant to teach others. I think their apprentices come back to our shop to learn. Well, customers must not be allowed to bring in their own stones. Even the cheapest stones We have to buy it for him, Xiao Zuo, go and buy some easy-to-carve stones for storage these days, some customers really can’t afford jade.”

"Come on, shopkeeper Han is worthy of being the shopkeeper." The little stick flattered him at the right time.

"Hmm! Isn't that how we opened a Hundred Arts Academy?" Xiaoyou thought, this is exactly what a Hundred Arts Academy looks like, but it's free.

"What kind of hundred arts school, that's a miscellaneous school!" Han Liang curled his lips, saying that all kinds of arts are just quack arts.

"Does the imperial court call it that!" Xiao You muttered.

"Well, Xiaowa. Xiaoyou is right to say that, can we ask Dongfang Ren for some money, after all, this is also a school, maybe it will be a hundred arts school in the future!" Dawa still couldn't let go of Han Liang and Dongfang Ren's laughter at that time, so he had to seize the opportunity of extortion.

"It's really thick-skinned. The books carved and decorated with stone tools are all given by others. You have the nerve to ask them for money. Besides, the miscellaneous school is run in the name of the imperial court. We'd better not let the shop have any relationship with the imperial court!"

"Oh!" Everyone has their own thoughts and measures, but it may not really be the same as what Han Liang thinks, but they don't want to have too much to do with the court.If they were good officials like the magistrate, they would be schemed against, but if they were not such good officials, they would also be schemed to take away a lot of money.So, I didn't continue this idea, and went out to prepare.

Xiaoyou is responsible for printing the notice, which is much more convenient now than when they opened the restaurant.The place where the book is printed has started a business with the outside world. As long as the content to be printed is written, a lot can be printed in less than a day, which is much faster than handwriting.

It was Xiaoyou's first time here, but it was a novelty.Look at the characters put together, and then strengthen and smear ink, and then they can be quickly printed on paper one by one.

After a while, one hundred sheets will be printed!And it's very cheap, except for the cost of the paper itself, it feels like these people don't ask for extra money!

Go back and get the well-painted rivers and lakes and start posting notices in crowded places!

Many places now allow the common people to put up notices by themselves, but only the government and big families dared to do so before.This is also the beginning of returning to Xiangcheng. Because of this move, the current emperor even commended it in the imperial edict, but he is envious of the county magistrates in other cities.

It's a pity that they didn't dare to engage in such seemingly outrageous things, so they lost a lot of rewards.By the time they try it, the whole world is already like this, and there will be no more rewards.On the contrary, if you don't do this, you will be punished.

Besides, after Han Liang's jade shop put up such a notice, some master craftsmen were naturally unhappy, and accused Han Liang of lying to everyone, and they would seal the knife if he could teach everyone how to learn it.

Han Liang was very happy to hear such words, and he slandered inwardly: "If you scold hard, the more people scold you, the more people will try."

As expected, many people came to try it on the first day. After all, there are very ordinary stones, so it is not a waste of money anyway.Besides, the people who come and go are just playing, how can there be too much time to learn this craft.

But after coming here, listening to the little stick and the big wah talking about the interesting professor is also very interesting.It turns out that with the tools at hand, this jade carving is also a slow and meticulous business.

Some people are more interested, so they start to learn for a long time, practice makes perfect, and then sell jade for carving.Some people are not interested, and they don’t charge tuition fees for half a day, so they don’t feel ashamed and don’t buy anything, and sell a little when they leave.

In any case, it also made Han Liang's jade shop business much better.In addition, some people are too lazy to go out to eat at noon, so they go to buy lunch, which is another big income.Of course, all the dishes are provided by diners, how can such an opportunity to make money be cheaper than other restaurants.

After such a commotion, it is obvious that the number of jade is much less.Of course, there are people who sell rough stones back and forth to Xiangcheng, but the twins feel that the color is not comparable to that brought back by Han Liang, so they think it is better to go to the quarry to transport it by themselves, and even recommend themselves to go there.

Originally, the twins asked to go together, but Han Liang felt that it was not a long-term solution to only let the twins be the buddies.Especially with the five soldiers and Han Sanzhang of the restaurant, there must be a rift after a long time.So he thought about giving up the jade shop to the twins, and it would be good for him to only collect rent in the end.

So when the twins were planning to go together, Han Liang asked Da-wa to leak the news to the twin brother's beloved.

Sure enough, the two of them came to him immediately, saying that they left home and stayed in Huixiang City to study their books in order to be able to accompany Xiao Zuo and Xiao You. Now it is good, and it is absolutely impossible to leave them to go to such a far place for so long!

At the end of the discussion, Xiaoyou stayed to watch the store.Xiao Zuo and his partner went to the Western Regions, and they can let Xiao You go when they go to Southern Xinjiang next time.

As for knowing whether it was Han Liang's painstaking efforts or not, I was not in a hurry, but Han Liang didn't come here often after Xiao Zuo left.Dawa also often excused that he couldn't come every day because of business, but in the end, jobs from other jade shops came.Xiaoyou discussed with Han Liang that he should simply ask for one or two jobs, and Han Liang naturally agreed, and Xiaoyou could do it all by himself!

At night, Dawa hugged Han Liang and marveled: "Why are you so nice!" It should be a pun, and Dawa was clearly aware of Han Liang's idea of ​​giving the jade shop to the twins.

"in fact
