Chapter 432 The Necessity of Small Things

Those who work part-time do not always earn as much as those who do business. This is the case in later generations, and it is even more so in this era.

The population of Weinan has exceeded one million. Since the completion of the first residential area, there has been a market for various daily necessities such as vegetables, rice and noodles. People are often like this. When they are full, they want to eat more. a little better.

Therefore, these worker families who live in new houses will start a small stove from time to time, and some even develop the habit of eating breakfast or supper. After all, the factory only serves two main meals a day.

Then, since the first hawker selling rice dumpling, and successfully sold out the dumplings he made, a small market outside the No. [-] living quarter was formed.

There are all kinds of stewed meat, cold noodles, side dishes, distiller's grains, cakes, etc., and they sell very well. Where do these small vendors come from?
Huangzhuang tenants.

In order to encourage everyone to free their servants, Li Shimin first took the lead and released the royal family's slaves. However, even if they have the household registration of second-class citizens, they are still doing things for the royal family. After signing the labor contract, they become Huangzhuang employees. They can get some income at their own disposal, and their behavior is more free. In addition to completing the tasks of farming and breeding, they can also go out and do other things to make money. , so that they can enjoy a better life.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, after Li Shimin took the whole family to have a meal in Wangjiang Tower, what these royal employees were going to do became more clear, because Empress Changsun asked Sun Zhengming for advice at the party.

Therefore, they started to be small vendors, processing various ingredients produced in Huangzhuang into cheap and delicious food in Chang'an or Weinan.

Huangzhuang has a total of 10,000+ mu of land, most of which are vegetables, melons and fruits. There are more than 30 large fish farms in Guanzhong, and the same number of chicken, duck and pig farms. After several years of development and growth, the output of these industries has already grown. Astonishing, if you don't sell it, it will just wait for the backlog to depreciate.

Sun Xiangfu just let Wangjiang Tower produce a stewed meat chef, and most of this problem was solved. Those hired workers in Huangzhuang aggressively marched into Chang'an and the vegetable markets around Chang'an. Now Chang'an is not just the east and the west. In these two markets, after the demolition of many square walls, there will be a vegetable market between every two or three squares. It is much more convenient for the people in the city to go out and buy vegetables than before.

The east and west cities have also begun to transform into bulk commodity trading markets. Furniture, building materials, restaurants, inns and the like occupy the mainstream. Even shops that originally dealt in gold and silver jewelry, stationery, and clothing are gradually withdrawing their leases, because , everyone knows that in the future, such shops will be opened in several major commercial plazas, and the income will be better.

Things in the market will naturally be adjusted due to some major changes. Some people are happy and some are worried, but generally speaking, they are all developing in a good direction. The business of millions of people depends on those who have money in Huangzhuang People with a business mind can't do it. They just take the lead and set an example for others, so that others can see more possibilities for success. Gradually, people will walk on this road.

Therefore, the stores and stalls in the market opened outside the first living community were soon rented by people. They all saw the market with more than 3 households and a population of 10,000+ after the entire community was built. Even, the second Well, before the construction of the third living quarter started, some people took aim at the shops and stalls there, and even directly took aim at the houses there. Many businessmen with capital even had the idea of ​​hoarding houses and reselling them to make money, but , When they wanted to implement it, they discovered that the various control regulations left them no loopholes to exploit. Sun Xiangfu came from later generations. He knew too well that if real estate did not set the rules at the beginning, then the How difficult it is to remedy it, so they had to settle for the next best thing and choose to rent a shop to operate.

Being good at learning is a characteristic of the Chinese nation. As long as someone starts something, it can inspire others a lot. Therefore, the life and business circle in Weinan hardly needs Sun Xiangfu to operate too much, and it can take shape by itself.

He is constantly transforming this world, and this world is constantly transforming him. The longer he lives here, the more he knows about this world, and some memories of later generations are slowly in his mind. Dissipation, in his opinion, is a very dangerous thing, and even made him feel panic at one time, so, recently, he spends more and more time in the study, all kinds of useful and useless things, as long as he can think of , They all began to be recorded in the notebook.

"Forget it, my mental age is less than 35! My memory has started to decline."

After finishing writing all morning, Sun Xiangfu wiped his face vigorously and sighed silently in his heart.

"Husband, is this tired? Let's drink a bowl of ginseng soup!"

Dressed very brightly, Yu Xiu'er entered the study with a bowl of stewed chicken soup with wild ginseng.

Her clothes were designed by Sun Xiangfu based on the women's performance costumes of a cultural troupe in his memory. They are more than [-]% similar to the original ones. An awe-inspiring feeling.

Today, she is wearing this long-sleeved short skirt with golden wheat ear straps to meet Empress Changsun. You can tell from the joyful expression on her face that in the future, she will wear a women's military uniform style. She is too cheerful in official uniform.

"How about it, when we arrived at the palace, did you frighten those ladies?"

Sun Xiangfu's eyes greedily swept over Yu Xiu'er's body, no wonder the elders of the later generations also liked this mouthful, it was indeed very tempting!

"Needless to say, the Empress thinks that all the actresses in the art troupe should dress like me so that they can go out to meet people."

"That is, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After wearing these clothes, who would dare to underestimate the female officials of our Datang Dynasty? Tomorrow, you will become the first female official of our Datang Dynasty to go to court."

"Just this time, I will leave after accepting the appointment."

"Not necessarily. You only have one chance to be No.1. Tomorrow you are destined to become the envy of women all over the world, and you will also be featured in history books. How about it, are you happy?"

"Um······"

Yu Xiuer nodded excitedly at what Sun Xiangfu said, but she didn't want him who had just drank two sips of ginseng soup to attack suddenly, hugged her in his arms and kissed her. , also possesses the attribute of liking to subdue temptation.

After Yu Zhuyun closed, when the two went down to eat in the restaurant, their faces were flushed, and Yu Xiu'er, who was afraid of being seen by others, was too embarrassed to speak.

"Master, the boat from Lingnan will arrive at Qujiang Wharf tomorrow afternoon. Is the old slave going to meet him, or you going to meet him in person?" De Shubu asked after finishing the dishes.

"If your majesty doesn't want me to discuss matters after the court breaks up, I'll welcome you in person! Open a larger private room in the Wangjiang Tower to arrange dinner. The dishes will be sweeter Lingnan dishes, and the wine will be lower."

"The old slave will go and make arrangements."

"There's Uncle Lauder."

"My lord, don't be so polite all the time. I've seen too many people in the house, and there should be no rules."

Uncle De shook his head and retreated, while Sun Xiangfu at the dinner table had a wry smile on his face. This is indeed a problem, even his master respects Uncle De so much, and the servants in the house dare not disrespect Uncle De even more up.

The orchids that Yu Xiuer bought back two days ago mistakenly thought that Uncle De was the owner of this mansion, so they sneaked into Uncle De's bed to wait on him, and almost made a joke, but Uncle De's nose was not angry. So, Uncle De, who found out the reason, never allowed Sun Xiangfu to be polite to him again.

Chuntao and Hongmei eat a lot, and they are not worried at all that they are too fat. After giving birth, their bodies will not recover. After all, Datang now regards plumpness as the beauty. I became fatter, my complexion became a lot whiter, and I am complacent!

"Chuntao, I remember you told me two days ago that some relatives in your family have come to seek refuge. Are you at the house?"

Chuntao's real surname is Ye, and she comes from Yongxing County, Yu Shinan's fiefdom. She was sent to the Yu Mansion as a maid when she was very young. A few years ago, when her parents were still alive, they were tenants of the Yu family. Now they have passed away. However, there are two relatives who are working in the stationery store of Yu Mansion. As for the other relatives of the same clan, due to the restructuring, they have become self-cultivated farmers, and now they want to come out to work to earn money.

"It's hard for the master to remember that I assigned them to work under Uncle De."

"Many of the designs in our house are for convenience and trouble. In fact, we don't need so many people to take care of them. In this way, you ask them to return to their hometowns to recruit more young adults to report in Weinan. The tricycles in the depot over there are about to be shipped. Let him learn Ride a bicycle and try passenger transportation in Chang'an."

"Run passenger transport?"

"Well, the tricycle for pulling people has been designed. After it is manufactured, there is a sofa on the trailer box, with a sunshade, which can seat two or three people. There should be many people who want to save their feet when this kind of car runs in Chang'an. People will take them, and in addition, it is also to promote these cars to the residents of the city..."

The advantage of the introduction of tricycles is that it can save a lot of feed consumption for cattle and horses. After the walls of Chang’an City were demolished, the circulation of people on the streets gradually increased. Cattle and horses in the busy market have become a dangerous factor. Or a startled horse rushing into the street will cause huge losses and injuries. It is very necessary to use a large number of safer and more controllable rickshaws. Moreover, this is also a business that can make money, at least, it is better than being a servant in the house .

"Everything is subject to the master's arrangement."

"Very good, Hongmei, do you have any relatives in your family that you need to arrange?..."

"Master, please ask me, no..."

Gossip is commonplace, although they are talking about small things, but these are all things that the current Tang Dynasty needs to do. The direction of development has been set, and the small details must be followed up, so that this society can be gradually improved. improvement.

Because the operation of a society is composed of these small aspects. Only with the vegetable market that Huangzhuang hired workers take the lead in laying out can meet the needs of the people in life and make all aspects operate normally, because if you want to eat a big pot without a factory When other occupational classes enter Weinan, the first thing they have to solve is the problem of living needs. Only when they can buy food can they stay here to do their own business.
