Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 178 Advertising Promotion ([-])

This is different from the protection fees our brothers used to collect!

The two gangster leaders looked at each other in confusion, and then followed Zhao Kang into a soy sauce shop.

The next thing I heard, I heard something like, "It's delicious and fresh for 180 days."

After more than half an hour, they followed Zhao Kang to visit ten stores and witnessed how Zhao Kang went out empty-handed and came back with a small 1000 taels in his pocket.

Both of them almost knelt down to Zhao Kang!
When did it become so easy to blackmail people? No need to coerce or lure, no need to act rogue, just go and chat, and the money will be delivered to the person. The key is that everyone is grateful!

This simply refreshed their cognition.

Back at the base, Zhao Kang looked at the house that was originally the Liuquan gambling stall. The base was pretty good.

Zhao Kang casually put the 1000 taels of silver on the table, thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave the matter of these advertisements to you, Zhou Laoliu."

Zhou Laoliu was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "I can't do this second master either!"

"It's okay, I will teach you about this. Also, Brother Diao, you and your people tonight will sweep away those small forces that are stubbornly resisting. Time is money, and we can't let these guys waste any time."

Brother Diao nodded quickly and started to gather people.

That night, the turmoil in the outer city was so lively that Prince Xuance felt a pang of regret for not being able to attend.

Two days passed.

The weather was rarely sunny today, so Zhao Kang and Xiao Xuance were eating steaming steamed buns on the street.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared on the street. The team formed a long queue, and everyone held a sign high in their hands.

Seeing this formation, Xiao Xuance was stunned and said: "Old Zhao, isn't that Zhou Laoliu? What is he doing?"

The leader of this long queue is Zhou Laoliu.

Zhao Kang smiled and said, "You just have to watch the jobs I find for them."

The next moment, Zhou Laoliu picked up a trumpet-shaped loudspeaker and shouted.

"Men's wardrobe, Zhang Ji Clothing Store!"

Then the team behind them immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Men, you only visit twice a year! Zhang Ji Clothing Store is specially designed for successful men! When buying clothes, choose Zhang Ji Clothing Store!"

Not only was Xiao Xuance confused by this sudden scene, but the people around him were also stunned.

The faces of those gangsters shouting slogans were all red. They were so shameful and embarrassed!
How can we fool around if an acquaintance sees this?

At this moment, a row of people also appeared on the opposite side, all holding wooden signs. The leader was Liu Laowu.

Just listen to him shouting: "Wang's soy sauce is delicious!"

The younger brother behind him yelled: "After 180 days of drying, if you want to buy soy sauce, just buy Wang's delicious food!"

The two groups of people looked at each other and immediately pretended not to recognize each other, feeling somewhat comforted in their hearts.

Fortunately, all my acquaintances are as embarrassed as me!
Slogans and advertisements resounded through the streets, and the people on the streets looked at this scene stupidly.

Someone asked in confusion: "What are these people doing? What kind of delicious clothing store is there?"

Suddenly there was an "enthusiastic person" around him who explained: "Ah, I know, Wang's sells soy sauce on the corner of the street. The taste of his soy sauce is outstanding. My family has been buying it for more than ten years." "You eat it too? Mine does too." , I heard that Lao Wang’s soy sauce is all fermented with high-quality soybeans, didn’t that group of people say that it was dried for 180 days, this kind of concentration is rare!”

"Yes, yes, that's why I buy their soy sauce every time. People are dedicated and will do one thing all their lives. So the soy sauce must be good, and we ordinary people can eat it with peace of mind, right?"

"Speaking of which, we're out of soy sauce, so I'm going to make some!"

"Let's go, let's go together!"

Under the singing and singing of a few "pure passers-by", several common people could not help but follow the footsteps of passers-by.

Some were still confused, but Liu Laowu led the team and passed by them again while shouting slogans.

Many people suddenly came up with an idea, how about we also try this soy sauce that has been exposed to the sun for 180 days?
Xiao Xuance stared at Zhao Kang who was showing off his buns: "Uh... what on earth is Old Zhao doing?"

Zhao Kang explained casually, and His Royal Highness smiled happily: "Okay, okay, we have to find some work for them!"

But soon Xiao Xuance said again: "It's just Lao Zhao, this is never a problem. How much money can we make in a year from this advertising?"

"And these people yell at the top of their lungs every day, which is too much for them after a long time."

Zhao Kang wiped the grease on his fingers and said with a smile: "Why are you anxious? This is just the beginning. What we have to do now is to get rid of their gangster temperament. We use so many people every day. It must be just the beginning." It’s a losing business.”

"But as long as they can break away from their former identities as ruffians, that's a good thing. Besides, I still have a lot of back-ups that I haven't used yet."

Xiao Xuance immediately became interested: "What's the back-up plan?"

"This matter will be kept secret for the time being. Anyway, it is a matter of making a lot of money. It is easy to support thousands of people just by relying on this thing."

Zhao Kang paid for breakfast and began to take Xiao Xuance around, inspecting the people arranged in various places to see if there was any slack in work or anything like that.

After walking around, neither of them found any major problems, except that the common people still treated the gangsters as if they were savage beasts.

But this is normal. If someone who bullies men and dominates women all day long suddenly says that he wants to be a good person, no one will believe him.

As he walked, Xiao Xuance felt a sense of accomplishment and was already dreaming about his own prototype of Yuanjiang County.

Zhao Kangdao: "From now on, these people will be all under your control. You yourself said in court that you would lead them to start a new life, so you have to treat them well."

"Is that what you need to say?"

His Royal Highness the Prince raised his eyebrows, Zhao Kang smiled, the little brat was pretending, right?

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I have to go do other things."

Seeing Mr. Lin following him in the dark, Zhao Kang stopped paying attention to Xiao Xuance and had to quickly make plans to mine the Yunshan veins.

Zhao Kang is still very interested in steelmaking, but he has only read about it in books, and the actual operation still depends on the old blacksmiths.

But it doesn't matter, just provide an idea. As long as good steel can be produced, the weapons of Qianjing and Jing can be upgraded to a higher level.

He has not forgotten what the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty said after Ye Hongxue of Jingguo forcefully killed the masters of the two countries.

Since they can't find anyone in Jingguo, they will look elsewhere. This other place can be other places, and naturally it can also be Qianguo.

In addition, Da Zhou has always wanted to destroy Qian, so his time is very tight!
