Taking the warehouse back to Datang, Li Erle felt numb

Chapter 33

In the next few days, Lin Heng also urged the workers to speed up the construction, and soon a new type of store was built based on the prototype of the original store.

The counters are neatly arranged and have the style of a later shopping mall.

On the first floor, Lin Heng plans to sell some low-end products, such as washing powder, soap, soap knives and other items commonly used by ordinary people.

If the kitchen knife couldn't be sold for ten pieces, then he wouldn't force it.

In terms of price, the price ranges from 100 to 300 Wen. The Tang Dynasty was prosperous and the people in Chang'an City were also wealthy. If they had enough to eat and drink, there was no problem in buying some of these things.

Of course, you definitely can’t take the original packaging, after all, some of them still have promotional pictures of characters promoting the products printed on them!
It was so strange for the people of the Tang Dynasty to see this thing.

The second floor is aimed at middle- and upper-class male consumers. Pens, notepads, ink, drinks, etc. have naturally changed their shells, but their fundamental functions have not changed.

For these men, a pen that does not need to be dipped in ink is much more convenient for handling daily tasks!

In short, he carefully selected and found some things that the people of Tang Dynasty could accept.

As for the third floor, naturally Lin Heng’s main spending power is women!

The price is from [-] to [-] guan, so don’t be fooled!
It also took Lin Heng a few days to find a way to transport various products to the store. After all, the scale was a bit large, so it couldn't be said that they were all moved from his own warehouse.

Something that even Yuner would be suspicious of, let alone several aunts and cheap daddy!
Lin Heng recruited two shopping guides on each floor. They were carefully trained before taking up the job. They learned how to introduce the selling points and functions of each product to customers.

A shopkeeper named Fang Siyuan was recruited, and he was the nominal owner of this shop!

This point is specifically aimed at Dad!
Everything is almost ready, so naturally the most important thing is to promote the store opening.

It's a pity that there is a printing press, but there is no way to get incoming electricity. The warehouse is too big. Maybe you can find a generator. You can also find fuel, but you have to find it in the Year of the Monkey.

If he had the time, he might as well study movable type printing. However, for Lin Heng, this thing was so shocking that it would inevitably attract people's attention.

The products he brought out were all sublimated to a level that you can understand in Datang. For example, soap soap, Datang itself has similar products, but the effect is definitely not as good as that of later generations.

The fountain pen is a substitute for the brush. The carbon pen really cannot be taken out, and there is no way to explain it.

Everything is ready.

In Chang'an, people are gradually spreading the word that a Baibao Pavilion has been opened on Zhuque Street in Chang'an. Only they can't imagine that there is nothing that the Baibao Pavilion cannot offer!

With today's store scale, it is definitely impossible to achieve such an effect, but the most important thing for publicity is reputation!
Soon, this news was connected to a certain extent with the mirrors and cosmetics sold before. The merchant who sold rare treasures before was actually the owner of this store?

For people who have bought Lin Heng’s products, this is a good publicity in itself and directly attracts their interest!
The opening time has been set, and Baibao Pavilion even released news that as long as you show up on the first day of the store's opening, you will not only enjoy a [-]% discount, but also receive gifts for everyone who comes, regardless of consumption.

This matter soon exploded in Chang'an City, arousing the interest of countless people.

In the palace, in the Hall of Wude.

Li Shimin was handling government affairs. The chamberlain walked up to Li Shimin with extremely light steps and spoke in a soft voice.

"Your Majesty, I asked to see you, and said that I have prepared what your Majesty wants."

Li Shimin nodded: "Pass him to the palace."

He still didn't raise his head, even when the old man walked up to him. Li Shimin was still immersed in processing the memorial until the review of the memorial was completed.

Fang Xuanling then spoke: "Your Majesty, the archives of Lin Heng, Lin Tangqing's son, in the Ministry of Personnel have been transferred." Li Shimin raised his head and asked curiously: "What should I say?"

With a trace of doubt on his face, Fang Xuanling explained: "This person has participated in the imperial examination three times, but he has not even passed the exam. Even in the easiest exam in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he failed."

He immediately handed over the examination papers he brought to Li Shimin. The Ministry of Officials had backup copies of these and stored them regardless of whether they were good or bad.

After Li Shimin took it, he began to look at it.

Fang Xuanling said from the side: "After observing this person's three imperial examination policy essays, his literary talent is mediocre, his talent and learning are mediocre, and even his views on government affairs are not up to the mark. The veteran has also asked the examiner in charge of Lin Heng's subject. There is no suspicion of replacement, it is indeed this person who passed the imperial examination."

After Li Shimin read it, he had similar comments. After all, the writing was not very good. It had an air of rotten Confucianism everywhere, and it was too rigid and rigid.

"But that day, you also heard what Lin Heng said, Xuanling. A non-talented person would not have such a unique insight. Isn't it really a mistake or a duplicate of the name?"

Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "Your Majesty cannot trust the old ministers. In recent years, the old ministers have been responsible for supervising the imperial examinations. This has never happened before!"

Li Shimin also felt a sense of doubt: "Whether this person is talented or learned, he still needs to pass the school entrance examination. If he is a virtuous person, he will be recruited into the court. There is no need to make things difficult for him because of the imperial examination. Ma Zhou also failed the imperial examination for many years, but his talent made him so talented." Are people impressed?"

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said, "Then let me go and investigate again. I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations. By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"Say it straight."

Fang Xuanling hesitated and said: "Lin Heng seems to have recently opened a shop in Chang'an City, saying that he sells rare treasures from all over the world. I can't even imagine what he can buy."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Hua Zi has finished smoking, why don’t you add something?
"When will it open?"

"tomorrow."

"I have to go and see this."

Chunming Tower is the first Chunming Tower in Chang'an.

Since ancient times, this romantic place has been favored by talented people, and it is also a place frequented by wealthy scholars.

A group of people gathered together, drinking and having fun.

"It seems that a store has recently opened in Chang'an. It has a great tone. It only has unexpected things and everything you can't buy?"

The other person smiled and said: "The bronze mirror I gave you before, the one that reflected the person's every detail, was sold by this person. This is true."

"It seems like it will open tomorrow, why not go and have a look?"

"Brother Zhangsun, what do you think?"

At this moment, the young man sitting next to him looked gloomy and was in a particularly bad mood.

This man had embarrassed himself in front of Princess Changle. How could he let it go so easily?
His eldest son, Sun Chong, was also a well-known talent in Chang'an, but he didn't expect that he would admit defeat in poetry. How could he swallow this breath!
"Brother Zhangsun, don't you want to go and have a look?"

Chang Sun Chong snorted coldly.

"Go, why don't you go? You want to see what kind of person this person is!"
