Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 75 Doing a Small Business (1)

As the man in charge of the family, Xu Qing took the initiative to take the responsibility of paying the bill, and everyone knew the reason.Following the old road, Xu Qing returned to Fangya, but he didn't bring the agreed 200 taels of silver, only a few taels of silver for tipping and a jar of copper coins on the carriage in his pocket.

"Fang Ya, come here..."

"Oh, my lord!" Fang Ya couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw Xu Qing.

"Here, here is your reward..." Xu Qing took out a whole ingot of silver and put it in Fang Ya's hand.

"My lord, this... I can't thank you enough~" Fang Ya felt the weight in his hands, and thought to himself that when the lord and his wife were away, the lord was such a generous person. One ingot is at least two or two miles away.

"My lord, I'll go through the handover formalities for you right now. If you're satisfied, then give me the money?"

"No hurry, you can take this official document to have a look first..." Xu Qing took out a booklet and handed it to Fang Ya.

"This... this is a document directly from the Ministry of Household Affairs!" Fang Ya exclaimed: "It turns out...it turns out that the lord has already received instructions, not to buy a house. I dare not take your reward..." Fang Ya gritted Grinding his teeth, he took out the silver ingot.

"Forget it, you just keep the reward. Besides this house, I have to buy a few more houses, and there will be more rewards at that time..." Xu Qing is not a stingy person either. If he wants the horse to run, he has to let the horse eat it. Full, Xu Qing smiled and said, "I don't want to pay for this house, do I?"

"My lord, this house doesn't need any money..." Fang Ya quickly touched the silver ingot: "Thank you, my lord, for seeing clearly, the little one will definitely do good things for you hehe..."

Xu Qing pondered for a while, thinking, to open a small stewed meat shop, and then the winery must be built.The small stewed meat shop can do it by itself, but the winery is a big project, and it has to be run jointly with others.As for the storefront, you can buy two sets first, a braised meat store, and a retail store for spirits in the future.

"Fang Ya, do you think there are some shops that can do business?" Xu Qing asked after recovering.

"May I ask Sir, what kind of business do you do?" Fang Ya looked conscientious.

"It's just some restaurants..."

"In terms of business, the east and west cities are the best, but there are tax collectors in the east and west cities. You know the tax collectors, and the newly opened stores... and the land is expensive. Opening a wine and restaurant is not worth the loss. It's better to go outside."

"Oh? Can you tell me where is the best place?"

"I don't dare to say where the small ones are the best, but if you want to say that there are a lot of customers and the prices are fair, there are a few small ones..." Fang Ya pretended to be thinking hard and said: "These shops are all in Qunxian. Square..."

"To the east of Qunxian Square is the West Market, and to the west is the Golden Light Gate. People from the outer city go there to enter the city. To the north is the place where the well-off families live. Compared with the old men in the East City who don't come out, they are rich and knowledgeable. The people who pay the money rely on them to do business. Qunxian Square faces a street in the West Market, and there are several shops that are about to be sold, do you want to go and have a look now, sir?"

Hearing what Fang Ya said was sound, Xu Qing believed it quite a bit, and replied: "That's fine."

When he arrived at Qunxian Square, Xu Qing looked around at the people coming and going, it was very lively, and the people who came and went looked healthy and dressed well, so he knew that Fang Ya's words were true.I saw a few shops, they were all good, the location was open, and the traffic was dense. After inquiring, the price was reasonable. Two shops with a backyard were only 300 taels, which also included the taps of the house teeth and various expenses.There is a shop in the front, and a palm-sized patio behind the shop. The patio is paved with gray bricks. There are several simple houses and warehouses in the back, connected by corridors.This is similar to the house that Xu Qing wanted to buy when he came to Chang'an at the beginning, but now things have changed and the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Fang Ya's speed is very fast. In the afternoon, the house deed was properly completed, and it was really within 24 hours.Once the house is in hand, the shop will be opened next, but... who will run the shop?Of course Xu Qing can't do it, Xun Xue'er can't do it either, Wang Shanniu can skip grazing, Xiaoyue is very busy, as for Shangguanyi and the three little ones, they are still fancy guys, Xu Qing slapped his head, There is no one who works at home!
Xu Qing murmured that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and there is another village in the shadow of the willow, and it doesn't matter if he read it correctly, anyway, what he read is correct, so settle down and find a spirits business partner first.

Who is better to choose?Let's use the method of elimination...

First of all, Liu Zan, this person has the best relationship with Xu Qing.But Xu Qing remembered that Liu Zan seemed to be just a fake uncle, and now that he was also an uncle himself, looking for Liu Zan seemed to have little effect.Secondly, Cheng Yaojin, this person's "notoriety" has spread far and wide, no one dares to provoke him, but others dare not provoke him, and Xu Qing also dare not provoke him.Moreover, this is a strong liquor, and the cooperation with Cheng Yaojin must be a loss, and the loss is more than a little, because Guang Cheng Yaojin's family has to drink most of it.After thinking about it, there were many generals who were vying for the reserve, and finally there was only one Xu Shiji left.Xu Shiji is a wise general, and he can be regarded as a neutral person in the Xuanwumen incident.

After thinking about it, Xu Qing shook his head, secretly thinking that this opportunity to discuss cooperation must be grasped well, not only to not appear snobbish, but also to be able to take the lead in cooperation.

Moving into a new house, Xu Qing's family was too busy to clean up and tidy up inside and out, so they hired a few helpers.Although it is just a move, the new house has not been lived in for a long time. The tiles need to be rearranged, and some cockroaches, spiders, mice and centipedes in the house need to be removed one by one, and all kinds of moldy places need to be redecorated.

Xu Qing asked someone to make a plaque - Luonan county uncle, wanting to quietly surprise Xun Xueer and the others.Thinking of the Luonan county uncle, it seems that the rewards for the three little ones have not been announced yet!
After moving, Xu Qing held a small banquet in the yard, and several members of his family ate around a big round table. If others saw it, they would definitely scold the family for being unruly.It's just that when he saw the sign of Luonan County Bo, he would change his words and say that Xu Qingli was treating his servants.

"Everyone be quiet, I have a few things to announce..." Xu Qing said seeing that everyone was almost finished eating.A table of people quickly calmed down and looked at Xu Qing.

"Originally, these things have been changed a long time ago, you know my memory... the first thing, I was made the uncle of Luonan County by the emperor..."

"Second thing, Xue'er was made Lord of Luonan County by the emperor!"

"The third thing is that Xun Fang, Zhang Linye, and Xun Yeyu were appointed by the emperor to join the army, and they are regarded as high-ranking officials. Here, here are your official uniforms."

After Xu Qing finished speaking in one breath, everyone present was shocked except for the cattle eating grass, especially the three little ones, who took a long time to come back to their senses:
"What, what?! Our official uniform!?"

"Brother Chusixth, what merits have you made again?!" Shangguanyi was dejected: "The three of them have official status, but my fake master is still Baiding..."

"Brother Xu, why are you promoted again?" Xun Xueer's eyes sparkled, she looked at Xu Qing with admiration and asked in a low voice.

Shock turned into shock, and after a long while, Shangguanyi, who was the least happy, also became happy. After all, it was a good thing for her family, wasn't it?The three little ones were wearing green cloth official uniforms, they were so beautiful, they walked in the yard learning official steps, Xu Qing touched his nose, whoever taught them to be officials has to walk like this, why am I not like this?

After a family banquet, everyone enjoyed themselves.
