Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 192 Liuli Marketing, Cui Yuan’s layout

Mao Xiang was really complicated at this time. After following Zhu Yuanzhang for so long, this was the first time he heard about such a weird thing as a special trade license.

You must know that if ordinary people want to do business, they only need to obtain business registration.

After all, according to the classification of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants are the lowest class among them, and almost no one would want to take the initiative to become one.

The Ming court also levied very low commercial taxes, almost showing contempt for merchants.

It can be said that as long as it does not endanger national security, no matter what Cui Yuan does, it will be fine.

In fact, Cui Yuan didn't understand much, but he just felt that the Qin court should have something like this when doing business in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it would be easy for others to cause trouble.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably also wanted to save trouble, so he directly followed Cui Yuan's words and obtained this special trade license.

And it was in the form of an imperial edict.

"Special trade license for Cui Yuan!"

"Listen, all departments. Cui Yuan can open a shop in the market and do business without any obstruction."

"If you dare to violate the rules, you will be punished without mercy. Thank you for this!"

Cui Yuan: "..."

This...is this the legendary imperial edict of Zhu Yuanzhang written in vernacular?

Although Cui Yuan knew some history and understood that Zhu Yuanzhang did not read much, so imperial edicts generally liked to be described in vernacular and did not like to be fancy, but he did not expect it to be so hard-shelled.

"Cui Shenxian, do you want me to ask someone from the Ministry of Rites to make a new copy?"

"I believe Your Majesty, he won't mind."

When Mao Xiang saw Cui Yuan's appearance, he thought he was dissatisfied with the wording of the imperial edict, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face.

If anyone else dared to be so disrespectful, Mao Xiang would definitely arrest him directly. However, he did not dare to act rashly towards the mysterious Cui Yuan.

Although His Majesty did not explain what happened recently, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that something extraordinary must have happened to make His Majesty, who was originally hesitant, suddenly make up his mind.

Therefore, in front of Cui Yuan, the murderer who almost destroyed Hu Weiyong's family did not dare to make any mistakes. Instead, he was as docile as a cat.

"I'm just going..."

"no, I'm fine!"

Cui Yuan shook his head repeatedly, stopped him, put the imperial edict away and said, "That's good. It can also save trouble and prevent everyone from understanding it."

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the imperial edict in this way, which basically means that the Ming Dynasty is doing this now.

If you ask the Ministry of Rites to revise it rashly, people may think it is fake.

Moreover, Cui Yuan asked for this permission to a large extent just to prevent the vassals of the Zhu family from causing trouble. If it was an ordinary wealthy family, Cui Yuan could drive them all away by himself.

After greeting Mao Xiang casually and sending him away, Cui Yuan immediately began to order Li Shimin and Liu Bang to go out to work.

They quickly purchased houses and stores, and first established their base in Ming Dynasty. After all, it was not a good thing to always stay in an inn.

When the imperial edict and drawings were delivered just now, it almost scared the innkeeper into having a heart attack, and made all the people passing by stop and watch.

Without a mansion or store, it is easy to cause trouble.

When Li Shimin and Liu Bang heard this, they felt like there were ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past. As the emperor, they actually had to do the things of these servants, but they had to obey.

There is no way, the people who are in Daming now are Ying Zheng, Ying Yinman, Cui Yuan and the two of them.

Ying Zheng is the ancestral dragon and the king of Cui Yuan, so it is impossible for him to take care of it personally.

Ying Yinman is Cui Yuan's wife, and she has a weak nature. When she goes out to do business, it is easy for her to fall into disgrace and be taken advantage of by others.

Aren't they the only two old fritters who can take action?

However, Li Shimin and Liu Bang did not remain ashamed for long, because they quickly found a new scapegoat-Chen Qing.

"Didn't Cui Shenxian ask you to go? What does it have to do with me?"

"It doesn't matter, but it seems that someone said bad things in front of me before. Oops~ I seem to remember who it is~"

Chen Qing instinctively wanted to refuse, but after looking at Liu Bang's kind eyes and Li Shimin's crackling finger knots, he felt that it would not be difficult to agree.

Do not!

It should be said that he was very happy about it!

Chen Qing's work efficiency is very high. In just two days, he purchased a mansion with full decoration and maids.

"Why is it so efficient?"

Even Cui Yuan was a little surprised. Although gold is a hard currency in any era, he brought a lot this time.

But the mansion is of great significance in the Ming Dynasty, especially Yingtian Mansion. People who are qualified to own a mansion are basically rich and powerful, and it is impossible to buy it just by having money.

Originally, Cui Yuan just planned to ask Liu Bang and Li Shimin to see where there was a suitable mansion, and then go to the palace to ask Zhu Biao to endorse him and lend his hand to buy the mansion.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qing, a young man, bought it all in one package in just three days, and even brought his maids and attendants with him.

Both Li Shimin and Liu Bang looked at Chen Qing with admiration.

"This is Mr. Hu's partial residence."

When Chen Qing heard the compliment, he looked at Cui Yuan guiltily and carefully explained: "As soon as I went out to look for the mansion, I was discovered by His Majesty's people. Then after they knew my purpose, they sold the mansion for half the price. us."

Cui Yuan: "..."

Li Shimin and Liu Bang were also speechless.

Co-author, this is a haunted house!

Especially Li Shimin felt dreamy.

The first time he and Cui Yuan came to Ming Dynasty, they appeared in Hu Weiyong's mansion and encountered the Hu Weiyong case.

As a result, I found a base in Daming, and it turned out to be Hu Weiyong's partial residence. Although it was not the same one, and the maids and attendants were all there, it was obvious that it had not been bloody massacre, but it could not stand up to the enemy!

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

Ying Zheng didn't pay much attention. He had already learned the ins and outs of the Hu Weiyong case through Cui Yuan's narration.

Although there may be some bad feng shui here and it is easy to overwhelm people, but that also depends on who lives here.

Three emperors and one immortal, let alone Hu Weiyong, who was just a minor prime minister, could not defeat them even if this was the place where Zhu Yuanzhang died.

"Furthermore, every large mansion in Yingtian Mansion has an owner, so it is difficult to buy it."

"Although there are some disadvantages here, apart from this shortcoming, the rest are basically all advantages."

"The price is cheap, the decoration is beautiful, and the maids and attendants are all available..."

After hearing this, everyone nodded and agreed with Ying Zheng's statement.

Indeed, except for some bad luck, they can hardly find any shortcomings here.

"Then here."

Cui Yuan made the final decision and everyone reached a consensus. After deciding where to live, the only thing left is the store.

At this time, Cui Yuan had two choices before him.

One is to just buy a simple storefront to show off, and then contact the Lu family to ask them to secretly cooperate with the sales.

The advantage of doing this is that it is stable enough to maintain a long-term flow, and can sell colored glaze to all aristocratic families at a price slightly lower than the market price.

But there are also obvious disadvantages, that is, it is difficult to raise the price, and the price in the future will only get lower and lower.

The second one is to buy a shop, but this time instead of setting up a pretentious store, it is directly converted into an auction house.

Then he contacted the Lu family and asked them to secretly sell three or four top-grade colored glaze pieces to whet the appetites of the wealthy families, and then revealed that the same style of top-grade colored glaze would be auctioned soon at the auction.

If you do this, the advantage is that you can get rich in a wave, and you can push the price of glazed pieces to the extreme in a short period of time, attracting all the major wealthy families to snatch them.

But there are also obvious disadvantages, that is, there is almost no follow-up. Even if a second auction is held, the price of glass pieces will suffer an avalanche.

And it will be like this every time in the future. The whole process is completely irreversible, and will also arouse the hatred of a large number of wealthy families. Just like the Cui family of Qinghe, they will immediately be unable to help but come to trouble themselves.

After all, no one can bear to give their money and food to others.

Although I don't care, I can't stand such trouble!

"So which one to choose?"

Cui Yuan was thinking when he accidentally saw the diamond ring on Ying Yinman's ring finger - it was a gift he gave her when they got married.

This diamond ring was like a bright light, illuminating all of Cui Yuan's thoughts.

correct!

I can also combine the two methods to conduct diamond marketing for Liuli!

As one of the most famous scams of the 20th century, diamond marketing was so successful that it sold a mediocre ore for a sky-high price that fans could only imagine.

And even after the diamond scam was exposed, although its price plummeted, it still remained at a relatively high level.

And colored glaze, no matter from which angle you look at it, has a very high analogy with diamonds.

It is also something that can be made artificially, and it was once considered extremely scarce by the world and a rare treasure.

Diamond marketing can be completely transformed into glass marketing!

'Diamond marketing is to use various marketing methods to increase the price of diamonds. At this time, I can use method two, let the Lu family cooperate to build momentum, and then hold an auction. ’

‘Then, by creating hot-spot marketing promotions, we can tie colored glaze to love or status, so that we can continuously sell colored glaze at high prices. Maintain the subsequent profits of method one. ’

The more Cui Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that there was much to be done. His eyes immediately lit up and he soon informed everyone of the entire plan.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Even Ying Zheng, who had known Cui Yuan for the longest time, could only understand half of the meaning at most.

There is no way, as emperors, they rarely come into contact with such lowly things as doing business.

But Cui Yuan is not worried. Although everyone does not fully understand it, it is not necessary to fully understand it to do things.

And when the results come out later, everyone will naturally understand!

After careful planning for several days, obtaining the first batch of colored glaze from Da Qin, and sending the gunpowder blueprint back to Da Qin, Cui Yuan decided to take action.

Now the Ming Dynasty's Spring Festival has just passed, which is the time when all the wealthy families are most relaxed, and it is also the time when they are the richest.

If we don’t kill him now, when will we wait?

Thinking of it, he did it. Cui Yuan immediately led people to the Prince's East Palace to look for Lu Li. At this moment, Lu Li was taking Zhu Yunwen to recover from his injuries with a sad face.

Seeing that Cui Yuan had arrived and brought everyone with him, Lu Li trembled instinctively, thinking that Cui Yuan was coming to spoil something again.

The last spoiler almost cost her son half his life. If it happened again, Zhu Yunwen might not really have to lie in bed, and she might be completely disgusted by Zhu Biao.

However, under Zhu Biao's order, she had to walk out tremblingly.

"Don't worry, I didn't come here today to spoil the story."

Seeing Lu Li's scared look, Cui Yuan felt a little funny.

He clearly didn't do anything to her last time and defended her many times. Why was Lu Li still so scared?

Is it possible that he looks very cruel? But he is obviously very handsome.

Wherever you go, there will be screams!

"I came here this time because I want to ask the empress and the Lu family to do me a small favor."

"What little favor?"

Lu Li was puzzled, and at the same time, she also paid attention to it - indeed, Cui Shenxian helped her before because she wanted to help herself, and she must not let go!

But soon, her face was filled with surprise.

"Are you sure you want to do this? But even so, it's impossible for him to accept it!"

"Of course!" Cui Yuan nodded confidently and explained with a smile: "I can guarantee you will accept it!"

……

The next day, the door of the Lu family slowly opened, and Lu Li's brother Lu Shou walked out with a look of anxiety and horror.

At first, the people passing by still had questions, wondering why this relative of the emperor, who was in the prime of his life, suddenly looked so strange.

But soon, their expressions became the same as Lu Shou's, and even more horrified!

Because behind him were one special carriage after another - all the sides of the carriage were shortened and turned into a display cabinet. Each carriage was guarded by six fully armed guards.

In the middle of the display cabinet are three extremely exquisite glazed utensils.

Horses trample flying swallows, giant drums bang in the sky, and the glazed sculptures of Dayu controlling floods!

Every piece of glassware is so beautiful and so perfect that it simply doesn’t look like a utensil that can be found in the human world!

"What is the Lu family doing?"

"Where did these treasures come from?"

"Oh my god! Is this really Liuli? It's so beautiful!"

Countless cheers came one after another, and Lu Shou also gave it to the Lan family in Yingtian Mansion, which was one of the three glazed treasures, the Horse Treading Flying Swallow, which was the family of Yongchang Hou Lanyu, the general who founded the Ming Dynasty. !

The Lan family originally did not intend to accept it, although this glass treasure was indeed very precious.

But not only did he and Lu Shou have no close relationship, they were even vaguely hostile - because Lan Yu was Zhu Xiongying's great-uncle, and Zhu Biao's first wife, Princess Chang, was Lan Yu's niece.

As Lu Li, Zhu Biao's new crown princess, Lan Yu has always disliked Lu Li and the Lu family.

And now, he actually wants to give himself such a valuable treasure?

However, just in the middle of Lan Yu's words of rejection, he was stopped by an imperial edict.

After seeing the content of the imperial edict clearly, Lan Yu couldn't believe it, but she could only accept Ma Ta Feiyan.

On this day, all the major wealthy families in Yingtian Mansion were shocked by the news!
