God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 998
One thousand strings a month, this is the price that Gao Shilian had calculated before he came.

With this price, several industries of Duke Xu's Mansion will stand out from Chang'an City.

It won't take long to earn back the advertising costs and make more money.

But now, the price has become [-] strings a month.

In this way, he has no idea whether he can still make money.

He was silent for a while before showing a smile: "Nephew, you really know how to joke... I said that we are best friends, by the way, what did you just say?"

Du He also smiled and said: "Master Gao, you just said that you need to spend money to advertise on the remaining seven lines. Two thousand per month, this is a fixed price, even if the king of heaven comes, I will not Change."

Gao Shilian's eyes widened suddenly: "What? I said that?"

"That's right!"

"Impossible," Gao Shilian stood up excitedly suddenly, "Du He, don't play tricks on this old man. Although I am old, I would not say such things. Besides, we are best friends, you How could you agree to such an unreasonable request? Haha, nephew, you really know how to joke. If I hadn’t been sober, I’m afraid I would have been fooled by you. Your joke is not funny at all. Nephew, I I came here specially to visit you today, if there is nothing wrong, then I will take my leave!"

After speaking, Gao Shilian got up and walked out, unwilling to stay for a moment.

What a joke, there are nine lines in total, and the monthly advertising fee is [-] guan, which is nearly [-] guan in a month. Although Xu Guogong's mansion is rich and powerful, it is not such a wasteful method.

Du He stood there and sneered.

Standing aside, Ma Zhou asked, "Young Master, is it true that he is allowed to leave like this? Isn't it taking advantage of him?"

Du He smiled lightly and said, "Old Ma, he will come back within a stick of incense!"

"Really?"

Ma Zhou showed a surprised look.

He used to be an official in the same dynasty as Gao Shilian, and he has always respected Gao Shilian, and even admired Gao Shilian's character.

But today, I have fully seen Gao Shilian's shamelessness.

……

Gao Shilian hurried out, just wanting to leave this place quickly.

Today, it is really embarrassing.

He had just gotten into the carriage when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a carriage appearing beside him.

This carriage is somewhat familiar.

Think about it carefully, isn't this the carriage of Sikong Mansion?

Then, I saw the eldest grandson rushing down.

Gao Shilian frowned!
not good!

He jumped out of the carriage, stopped in front of Changsun Chong, and asked, "Chong'er, why did you appear here?"

Chang Sun Chong was taken aback, saw that it was Gao Shilian, and then said: "So it's my uncle and grandfather, I don't know who it is, it's nothing, I'll come over and take a look!"

Gao Shilian approached Changsun Chong and asked in a low voice, "Don't play dumb with this old man, are you here to discuss advertising with Du He?"

Chang Sun Chong nodded: "Uncle and grandfather, I really can't hide anything from you!"

"Do you know that now Du He has raised the price from the ground, from the original [-] guan a month to [-] guan a month." Gao Shilian said.

Changsun Chong thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Uncle and grandfather, don't worry about it. My father has already told me that when I go to the Chang'an bus company today, no matter what price Du He offers, Sikong Mansion will accompany me!"

Now, it has already spread in private.

Xuanyuanju spent [-] Guan and advertised for a month.

In just ten days, he earned more than 2000 guan.

Advertising costs have long since returned.

Sikong Mansion had already calculated that as long as there is an advertisement for a public carriage route, it can make a lot of money.

Two thousand guan is nothing at all.

Gao Shilian's eyes twitched, then he turned around and ran to the Chang'an bus company.

"Oh, uncle and grandfather, what are you doing?" The eldest grandson was shocked when he saw him, and hurried after him.

……

yard.

While drinking tea, Du He discussed something with Ma Zhou.

Suddenly, a figure rushed in, rushed to the table, grabbed the pen on the table, and signed a cooperation agreement with a swish.

"Du He, this is the new cooperation agreement I signed with you. The cooperation period is half a year. This time, I want a three-way carriage." Gao Shilian's voice sounded.

Only then did Du He and Ma Zhou see clearly that this black shadow was Gao Shilian who had gone and returned.

Gao Shilian stroked his beard pretentiously.

When the eldest grandson rushed in, he walked out slowly.

Next, not only Sikong Mansion, but also many people came to Chang'an Bus Company to discuss cooperation with Du He.

In less than two hours, the advertising space for the nine lines of Chang'an Bus Company and the cooperation within half a year were all negotiated.

……

Morning morning the next day.

Li Er originally thought that Gao Shilian would be ashamed and dare not come to the morning court.

Unexpectedly, Gao Shilian not only came, but also had a straight waist and a ruddy complexion, as if there was a happy event at home.

Li Er asked curiously: "Gao Aiqing, I heard that Xuanyuanju is the property of Xu Guogong's mansion. Nowadays, it is spread all over Chang'an City that the food in Xuanyuanju is the same as the meal I eat every day. ,do you know?"

"Hahaha……"

In the main hall, there was another burst of mocking laughter.

But everyone was surprised to find that Gao Shilian was not as embarrassed and at a loss as yesterday.

On the contrary, he was very proud and said: "Your Majesty, I have known about this matter for a long time. However, the old minister is also a victim. I spent a thousand coins to advertise on Du He's big carriage. I never thought about it. Du He It is so publicized, please Your Majesty to be aware of this matter!"

"Oh?" Li Er was surprised, "Gao Qing's family, did you really spend a thousand pens on advertising?"

Li Er and Gao Shilian are not only monarchs and ministers, but also good friends. He knows that Gao Shilian is very stingy.

Now he is willing to spend [-] yuan on advertisements, what a surprise!

After all, advertising has just appeared not long ago, and even Li Er has not fully accepted it.

Gao Shilian said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, one thousand guan, but before, yesterday, I cooperated with Du He again. This time, I spent more than 1 guan, and I still advertise."

More than 1 guan?
Gao Shilian, is this crazy?

Many people are puzzled.

Only Changsun Wuji folded his hands and sneered at the corners of his mouth.

A group of superficial people, do you really know the effect of this advertisement?
A few days later, when someone grasped the truth, it was too late.

……

Hu County.

The joints are bustling.

Nearly half a year after the enclosure movement.

At first, the gentry in Hu County thought that after the gentry and merchants were forced to leave, Hu County would become an empty city.

But the reality is that instead of becoming an empty city, Hu County has become more and more prosperous, and more and more people come here to do business and do business.

In just a few months, the county seat of Hu County expanded three times, fully doubling its previous size.

At this time, the advantage of Hu County without city walls is reflected.

If there is a city wall, it will definitely be troublesome to expand.

Without walls, there is no pressure to confine.

The prosperity of Hu County is inseparable from the emergence of the Taxation Bureau.

In the past, in Chang'an, merchants had to endure heavy taxes when doing business in other places, and even spent a lot of money to buy off the officials who managed the city.The most obvious one is the East and West Second City of Chang'an City, where any small official can earn a considerable income every year.

In Hu County, however, there is no concept of a demarcated market, and business can be done anywhere, and all taxes are transparent. Small businesses do not need to pay taxes at all. How much of the money is drawn to pay taxes.

Anhu Avenue closely connects Hu County and Chang'an City.

More and more people are willing to come here to do business.

Most of the first batch of people who came to Hu County to do business were sent by Du Hekeng.

Then, the second batch and the third batch were all willing.

The county seat of Hu County is lively and prosperous, surpassing the capital of a state.

at dusk.

A little girl wandering unsteadily in the street.

The little girl was wearing a long pink dress, braided hair, and a pink face like a jade carving.

She didn't have any guards around her, but the people around her were very respectful to her when they saw her.

Behind her, there is a very ferocious brown bear as tall as a man.

This little girl is Du Jinwei.

"It's Princess Jinyang!"

"Wow, it's the princess!"

"The princess is so beautiful!"

Du Jinwei with her hands behind her back, like a little adult, like a patrol.

Many people greeted her one after another.

She just responded with a smile.

The brown bear Ah Huang seemed to understand human nature, and he also smiled at everyone.

But when it smiled, it scared many people away.

Du Jinwei was also very helpless.

She walked on.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion in front of her.

A group of people gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.

Du Jinwei was bored and was feeling bored when suddenly her eyes lit up and she ran over excitedly, pushing aside the crowd.

In the middle of the scattered crowd, there was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, and a sign hanging on her chest, which read: sell her body to bury her father.

In front of the little girl stood a young man in brocade clothes, about his early twenties.

There were several house slaves standing beside the young man, all of them looked arrogant.

The young man chuckled and said: "Little sister, it's really pitiful that you want to sell yourself to bury your father. How about this, my son sees you pitiful, so I will show mercy and buy you!"

The little girl immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master..."

Ding.

A Kaiyuan Tongbao fell in front of the little girl.

The young man said arrogantly: "You can take this penny, now you are mine, come and take her away!"

The little girl was dumbfounded, she came to her senses, and cried loudly: "My lord, but my father just passed away a few days ago, and I can't even buy a coffin, my lord, please take pity on me, just give me the money, my lord, I beg you good people to do it to the end!"

"What? A consistent amount of money? Damn, you don't even look at you. You look crooked. You can't have a penny more. Hmph, you still dare to bargain with me. Believe it or not!" Beat you to death and let you go to accompany your father?" The young man was extremely arrogant.
