The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 207 Banner
With such a big mistake, of course, this not-so-small car and horse dealership cannot continue. The owner has been looking for a buyer since the Jin Army retired.

But now the land is not peaceful, and the business of horse and horse dealerships is a high-risk occupation, which is basically unsustainable. Few people dare to expand their operations at this time. How easy is it to find a buyer for such a large business?
Li Ruolian, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, is one of the top snakes in the land, and he is very familiar with the industry in the area under his jurisdiction. He learned that Huang Han is going to get involved in the car and horse business, so of course he strongly supports it.

He had fought side by side with the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army", and he firmly believed that with Huang Han intervening in the transportation industry, the uneven terrain was the advantage of "Sifang Express", and it was only natural to make profits.

Ever since, Huang Sifang bid 500 taels of silver and got a small two hundred houses, dozens of donkeys and horses, and a carriage and horse shop with more than 100 carts.

It is divided into the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard and the front yard. The inner courtyard is where the original owner lived with his family, the outer courtyard is used by the guys of the carriage and horse dealership, and the front yard is the storefront. There is a large car shop with dozens of rooms and a dozen rental rooms A warehouse for temporary storage of goods for customers.

Although the inner courtyard was not luxurious, it was cleaned very cleanly. It was the first time for Huang Han, Li Ruolian, and Fang Zhenghua to come here, and the three of them were very satisfied with the environment here.

Huang Han brought gifts to the two friends and asked them to try them on on the spot. The gift was of course the all-steel breastplate produced by the Huang family.

This is not a high-end product for cavalry equipment, but a gold-plated gift "Golden Armor".

There is no warrior who doesn't like such a good thing. Of course Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua, who are proficient in bows and horses, can't put it down.

The "Golden Armor" has the same defensive power as the breastplates equipped by the soldiers, but for the sake of appearance, no paint is used, but the gilding process of the Ming Dynasty is adopted. Each piece of "Golden Armor" consumes ten taels of gold, which of course looks luxurious and high-grade. .

Li Ruolian put on the "golden armor" and looked left and right, and said happily: "Master Huang, you have bothered, such a good armor is rare, how can I fit it so well?"

Fang Zhenghua also said: "That's right, our family and Li Qianhu's body are a hundred and eight thousand miles apart, our armor fits very well, why?"

Huang Han said with a smile: "No one else, tailor the clothes according to the size, the two adults have their figures in mind, so they personally marked the size, arranged the best steel smelting and the most skilled blacksmith master to swing the hammer, and got the hard armor. Strange."

Li Ruolian said: "Master Huang, I am really ashamed of being so hardworking. I heard that you came here specifically to sell sweet potatoes. There is nothing to say. I will buy three hundred shi first. No matter what, I will let the school The lieutenants and wrestlers eat sweet potatoes at least once a day."

Fang Zhenghua said: "Our family can buy more. The [-] Battalion of the Yumajian is now under our family's management. One meal of sweet potatoes a day for the soldiers will cost twenty shi. Master Huang, wait for your goods to arrive in the capital." Send a thousand stones directly to the Imperial Horse Supervisor to get the silver."

These two were willing to buy without even asking the price, and they were going to force the soldiers to eat sweet potatoes every day regardless of whether their subordinates liked it or not.

Huang Han said with a smile: "My lords' intentions are appreciated, but there is no need to do so. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are both good things. There is no need to force the hardcore. I reckon that as long as the promotion is done properly, the people of the capital may catch up. Come and buy and eat!"

"Huh? Master Huang is so confident in selling sweet potatoes?"

"Of course, it's just that the promotion and publicity will inevitably cause trouble to Brother Jin Yiwei under Lord Li's command."

"It's a trivial matter, just let Master Huang know who you plan to beat or arrest."

Haha, Jinyiwei is indeed a violent institution, beating and arresting people as soon as they open their mouths, and they are ashamed to say that they never bully Shengdou Xiaomin.

Huang Han hurriedly said: "Lord Li, I'm not here to fight wars, I'm here to do business in the capital, how can I fight and kill people, the way to make money is the kingly way."

Li Ruolian almost burst out laughing, he said: "Lord Huang, it's right to find Jin Yiwei for fighting and killing, and you must not have a relationship with Jin Yiwei if you make money with harmony.

A shop with a thriving business, as long as there are two Jin Yiwei walking around the door every day, the shop will be yellow in a few days. "

What Li Ruolian said was interesting, Fang Zhenghua and Huang Han both burst out laughing, Huang Han said: "It's nothing serious to bother Jin Yiwei, it's just that the humble staff is going to put up [-] banners on the street.

If my people do this, I don't know how many people will make things difficult for them. It would be very easy for Mr. Li to send Jin Yiwei to do it. "

At this time, Huang Sifang asked Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua to show the prepared red banner.

The content on the banner is simple, nothing more than slogans such as fried potato chips are delicious, baked sweet potatoes are cheap and delicious, sweet and delicious, and the focus is on serving the common people and raising wages for the "Red Banner Army".

Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua saw the banner, asked how it was hung, and learned that it was across the street, they immediately felt that Huang Han's whimsical idea was beyond words.

Li Ruolian said on the spot: "Master Huang, don't worry, I will not only arrange for people to hang all the banners in the places you like tomorrow, but also let the shops near the banners take care of the banners.

If it is broken or lost within one month, the store in charge must make a new replacement. "

Of course that's great!It's still Jin Yiwei's bullshit, Huang Han is not hypocritical, and agrees to Li Ruolian's proposal.

Sure enough, it takes the right people to get things done, Huang Han saved a lot of publicity costs just by asking Jin Yiwei to hang up banners.

Presumably with Jin Yiwei's support, those [-] promotional banners might not be able to hang until the end of the year.

After negotiating the imminent matter of advertising and publicity, Huang Han decided to rush to see his mentor immediately, which is a due courtesy.

He invited Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua to drink flowers and wine at Yichun Courtyard located in Bensi Hutong in the inner city at night, and asked Li Ruolian to bring along Lou Yun, Ai Guodong, You Cunqing and other brothers who had been slaves together.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in May, at Fengrun's dinner, Huang Han once promised to support Chuchu. If he wanted to spend money on a treat today, he would definitely choose Yichunyuan. Besides, it is said that it is one of the best places in the capital, and it seems that the consumption is not low.

When Fang and Li saw Huang Han's invitation to drink flowers and wine at the high-end Yichun Courtyard at night, they readily agreed, and they each took their entourage back to the yamen to be on duty.

Seeing the outsiders leave, Huang Sifang immediately reported the arrangement of the "Qiwei" to Huang Han. He believed that "Qifang Express" would be able to bear the expenses of the "Qiwei" in the future.

He will also expand his business and strive to open the semicolon of "Sifang Express" in every Daming city within five years, including relatively wealthy counties.

Seeing that Huang Sifang is full of confidence in the future, Huang Han is also very happy. The flow of goods in the world is actually beneficial to the country and the people.
