I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

But Zhang Nuo wasn't discouraged. Isn't this kind of thing just a man's romance? When thousands of tigers under his command speak out, ghosts and gods are frightened, attacking the city and conquering thousands of miles, and making the flag of the Tang Dynasty fly in more and more places. It's not in vain to come to Datang to have a life, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo first went to the bathroom to take a shower with cold water, then put on a nightgown, sat upright at the desk, spread out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen and slowly sketched.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and it is more reassuring to write down one by one.

And just as Zhang Nuo gradually fell into a working state and began to arrange his future work, Li Shimin was standing on the bridge looking at the scenery outside the window in high spirits.

An ironclad ship is different from a three-masted sailing ship. Among other things, the stability brought by the nearly [-]-ton displacement is not comparable to that of a sailing ship swaying in the wind. It is not much different from that on land.

Chapter 866

Just as Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo were running at full speed on the sea, Chang'an City and Lantian City became more and more noisy.

The reason was that the bicycle that Zhang Nuo got out was the cause of the trouble.

At the very beginning, Zhang Nuo explained clearly to everyone in the clubhouse that this thing belongs to Minsheng Technology, and what is Minsheng is closely related to the lives of the people.

This kind of business may not be the most profitable per piece, but it is definitely the most long-term and stable business, because the most people in this world are ordinary people.

At that time, there were still people who were muttering in their hearts. After all, in their opinion, those high-flyers should be the most willing to pay. How much money do those muddy legs have in their pockets?

But in fact, when the bicycles were actually sold, everyone was stunned. So these mud-legged people are so rich?

More than [-]% of the first batch of thousands of bicycles that were accidentally released by the old Pei's housekeeper were actually purchased by ordinary people.

Some people even bought two for their family at once!

Many people can't understand why they are so rich, why are they so rich, and where did the money come from?

That's right, this is the biggest problem for this group of people. Isn't it difficult for this group of mud-legged people to eat in the past? Why do they suddenly have money to buy bicycles?

Although Zhang Nuo has been emphasizing on taking the people-friendly route, the profits should not be kept too scary. We earn money through quantity, but in fact the cost is put there. The pile of iron and the current situation are absolutely fine. How can the price be so low for all kinds of processing techniques?

Logically speaking, if this price is in accordance with the usual practice, except for the various yamen on the court side who can give orders, only those big families can add a few cars to themselves.

But now, those big families just went a little late, and they can't buy them, which is outrageous.

So, the question arises, where do these people get their money!

The person who asked this question was a member of the clubhouse. He also came here to have fun today in his free time, to see if he could meet some suitable friends to play with.

Then at noon, there happened to be a small banquet held by someone who didn't know, so he just sneaked in.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common in clubs nowadays. Anyone who can come here to hold a banquet must be a member here, and there is a natural sense of intimacy between members and members.

Not to mention that everyone knows very well that if you can get a membership card here, your identity is not easy, so no matter who is hosting a banquet here, as long as everyone is in the clubhouse, they will come to see and see.

It's not about coveting the little things to eat and drink, but not letting go of any opportunity to make friends.Of course, this is also an opportunity to show yourself.

For example, this is the case now. He is a direct descendant of the Lu family, but he has been studying honestly in the clan for a long time.

On the one hand, the question he is asking now is to highlight himself. After all, as long as he shows his talent, he may be attracted by someone with a daughter in his family, and finally a marriage will be achieved.

You must know that those who can come here must be of the right family, even if they are high climbers, there will not be too many, and they will definitely be able to bear it.

On the other hand, in fact, he really doesn't understand that Lu's ethnology has its own education and teaching system, and it follows the path of traditional literati, and is not so sensitive to current affairs.

So, this time he really didn't understand, why are those muddy legs the main buyers of bicycles?Where did they get the money from?

In fact, his question can be regarded as asking the voices of many people. Not everyone is the kind of well-informed and quick-thinking. Or they just stare at their own small business to live, and really don't have the heart to pay attention to the changes outside.

If it weren't for the emergence of newspapers, which made the flow of news a little more informed, perhaps in a few years, there will still be remote places that don't know that it is Datang now.

As the steward of the Lantian clubhouse, Lao Zheng naturally stays in the clubhouse every day. After all, all the guests come and go, so he has to greet them well.

Besides, His Royal Highness Qin Wang gave him three years. If he can't manage well in these three years, wouldn't it be that he entered Baoshan by mistake and left empty-handed?

He just walked in, and he wouldn't stay at this kind of banquet for a long time, after all, he was actually half the master compared to him.

So when he heard this question, he spoke up directly,

"Young master Lu, you are a real scholar, you have completely entered the book, and you have not seen the colorful world outside, this kind of thing is actually very normal!"

As soon as Lao Zheng said this, the surrounding area fell silent instantly, and everyone's meaningful and even scrutinizing eyes immediately focused on it.

At the beginning, no one knew the details of Lao Zheng. He only knew that he was a businessman. As for why he suddenly became the manager of such an important industry in the Qin Palace, no one knew.

In the end, it was Lao Zheng who said it himself.In Lao Zheng's opinion, it is better to be more open-minded sometimes. The transaction between him and His Royal Highness King Qin will be exposed one day.

It is better to be frank from the beginning than to use some false things to deceive everyone and be exposed in the end.

But after telling the truth, everyone always looked at him with scrutiny and other meanings in their eyes. Lao Zheng understood that this is actually a gesture of watching a drama.

On the one hand, everyone gave him a high look because of the name of Prince Qin's Mansion, but at the same time, they were also very curious about what kind of skills this lucky guy has.

That's right, in everyone's eyes, this is nothing more than a lucky guy who got lucky.

But Lao Zheng didn't care at all, he had actually thought of this scene beforehand, and his status as the property manager of Prince Qin's Mansion actually set up a platform for him. It still depends on him.

For example, in today's situation, doesn't it just give him a chance to sing a good show?

Old Zheng knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to establish a certain network of contacts for himself in the past three years, it was still the kind of relationship of equality and cooperation. It was best to use the brand of Prince Qin's Mansion sparingly, but to reflect his own role.Otherwise, three years later, I am afraid it will be nothing.

Chapter 867 The Tang Dynasty in Old Zheng's Eyes

Lao Zheng looked at the distinguished guests around him, first nodded his head slightly to show respect, and then slowly began to talk about his own point of view,

"Everyone knows that Mr. Zheng was just a merchant before, but it is precisely because Mr. Zheng is a merchant that what you see and notice on weekdays is different from what you all see!"

"To put it bluntly, what I care most about Mr. Zheng is actually whether my customers have money in their pockets to buy my things, and whether they can buy more. These are the things I care most about.

Therefore, I have to look more carefully. Here, Zheng will share some of his own opinions for everyone to listen to, and it will be used as a throwing brick to attract jade! "

Old Zheng didn't shy away from his identity at all, but talked about his identity as a businessman very frankly, and he seemed to be proud of being a businessman. In fact, Lao Zheng really had this meaning in his heart.

From his point of view, what about your royal relatives? In the end, don't you just mess around with yourself?

But as for him, it is because of this luck and his identity as a businessman that he can enter the door of King Qin's Mansion, and he has become a member of King Qin's Mansion for the past few years.

Therefore, he is not worried about his identity at all, and everyone can be frank and let the matter be over. If you really look down on my identity, then we probably won't have any chance to cooperate in the future, so why bother to hide it?

After saying all these nonsense polite words, Lao Zheng didn't say much, and turned around to talk about his own point of view, which is what everyone is looking forward to the most.

"Everyone should know that His Majesty exempted the agricultural tax. In everyone's eyes, this is a benevolent government, a great thing that benefits the people, but does this really only benefit farmers?"

"Actually not. Think about it, why His Royal Highness Qin launched a series of livelihood industries at this time? You can actually know that these technologies are definitely not superior to those that His Royal Highness Qin put in the research institute. of!"

"That is to say, His Royal Highness King Qin had these things for a long time, but he never took them out. Instead, he waited until this time, when he thought it was really appropriate, before he took them out!"

"And now is the right time His Royal Highness King Qin thinks, that is, the time when the people of Tang Dynasty have money!"

Seeing that the people present were still a little confused, Old Zheng chuckled lightly, then continued,

"Don't feel wrong, everyone. In fact, you can figure it out. The agricultural tax and the per capita tax are all exempted. Just for these two points, let's think about a family of three with [-] acres of permanent land. How much more do you earn?"

"Not to mention that there have been more and more factory owners in the past few years, and more and more workers are needed. It is too easy to find a job in the city during the slack season. How much more income does this give them?"

"It's just that everyone didn't pay attention. If you really think about it, it's actually easy to understand. After all, everyone has a family, land and property. If you recall, how much money is sent from your hands?"

I won't say what Lao Zheng said here, leaving time for others.

In fact, the point of view he wanted to express has been made very clear. Everyone present is just blind to Mount Tai. If you really want to talk about it, let alone other places, you will not understand it just by looking at your own property.

One person present counts as one, whose family doesn't have tens of millions of acres of land?Who doesn't have a few workshops that employ a bunch of people?

Let’s not talk about other places, just talk about the wages they pay to others, and the reduced rent after the agricultural tax is exempted. The money alone is enough for these hardworking farmers to slowly fill their pockets. .

Just like what he said just now, even Zhang Nuo, who has the best vision, said that the development of the people's livelihood industry can already start at this time. If you still don't understand, then there is a problem with vision.

In fact, after Lao Zheng stayed in the clubhouse for a long time, he gradually discovered that these high-ranking officials and nobles are actually the same thing. There is something in that line of work, but outside of that circle is nothing.

For example, those things that Old Zheng said just now, as long as anyone who has a little heart can actually figure it out and know it well, but here are obviously all from big families with great achievements, but Old Zheng knows that among these people At least half of them really don't understand.

Lao Zheng and Zhang Nuo often met, and Zhang Nuo was notoriously unassuming, especially in front of his own people. Now that Lao Zheng was the steward of the club, he was naturally his own.Therefore, whenever he had any questions, he would directly ask Zhang Nuo.

I have to say that if someone who chats with Zhang Nuo asks questions with an open mind, and happens to meet Zhang Nuo's itching spot, if he is willing to say a few more words to you, that is really insightful.

At least Lao Zheng has gained a lot. He really found out that this group of people is actually just like what His Royal Highness Qin Wang said. They only have their own small money and small profits in their eyes. can't do it.

Old Zheng still remembers what Zhang Nuo said in the manor while drinking wine and being a little drunk,

"Old Zheng, just watch, if this group of people continues like this, they will slowly and naturally die out, and even they themselves will not understand why it can't work!"

"Actually, to put it bluntly, they are right. Their starting point is too high, so high that they can continue to follow their own path and live happily!"

"But what they didn't expect was that when they were living in their own homes, the entire Tang Dynasty was changing with each passing day, and when you can't keep up with the changes in the Tang Dynasty, then you will slowly fell behind, and finally disappeared without a trace!"

"It's not that they did anything wrong, it's just that they didn't see far enough and walked fast enough, but this alone is enough to bury a family!"

"You know, there is another saying on the opposite side of a big family and a big business, telling Chuan Xiao to turn around!"

After hearing these words that time, Old Zheng stayed up almost the whole night, thinking about these matters. He knew that what His Royal Highness King Qin was talking about was not just about business, but actually about the entire empire.

Those families really just didn't see the scenery outside, so they would perish?

No, no!

After thinking about it all night, Lao Zheng figured it out. In fact, to put it bluntly, what they couldn't keep up with wasn't just the rhythm of business, they couldn't keep up with other things either.

When a family can't open their eyes to see the world, why do you think they just don't pay attention to business and people's livelihood?

Chapter 868 Strange Business

It's funny to say, now Chang'an City and Lantian City have a very interesting new profession - driving school!

Of course, it's not the kind of later generations who occupy a piece of land and get a batch of cars to teach people to test their driver's licenses, but the idea of ​​a group of smart people to teach people how to ride a bicycle.

Zhang Nuo knew the news because Cao Xing told him the news as a joke. At that time, Zhang Nuo was stupid. Which god is this, can come up with such a way?

Of course he knows that this kind of business is actually because the bicycle market is hot right now, but a large number of potential customers can't get bicycles at all, and only at this time can they do business for a period of time.

But, not to mention anything else, just talking about this vision is stronger than many people.

After most people get their bicycles, the first thing they think of is transporting people and goods, but there are such a group of people who immediately take out their bicycles at home to make money.

Zhang Nuo believed that these people might really make some noise in the future.

After all, people with active brains can always come up with some good ideas, regardless of whether they are smart or not, the current Datang is too tolerant, even if you are smart, as long as you meet the needs of customers, then you can Making money is nothing more than earning more and earning less.

In fact, Zhang Nuo didn't stay in Lantian City anymore.Otherwise, if he really went to this "driving school" to have a look, he would definitely be surprised.

Because this is not a place to learn cycling, this is simply a copy of the on-site test in the driving school of later generations, and those obstacles, subjects, etc., are not the ones he made in the bicycle factory to train those newspaper deliverymen. things.

Good guy, this is not clever, it's a chicken thief to the extreme.

Zhang Nuo is not here, but there are still people in the Qin Palace, at least Lao Fang, the chief steward of the Qin Palace, is staying in Lantian City now.

He also received news that someone was doing business under the banner of His Royal Highness King Qin, but in fact it has nothing to do with our Prince Qin's mansion!

Hearing the news, Lao Fang naturally had to arrange for someone to inquire about it. If ordinary people put up signs like "His Royal Highness King Qin agrees" or something, then it will be over. It is enough to say that the title is the property of the Prince's Mansion.

This is what Zhang Nuo told him very early on. It's not easy for everyone. As long as you don't discredit our family or use our name to do something bad, just pretend you didn't see it.

Lao Fang originally thought that this time it was something new from a small businessman, and he planned to make a publicity like "His Royal Highness Qin also agrees".

But in the end, after the servant went out for a circle, he came back and reported that that was not the case at all, what he said directly was "a bicycle learning program designed by His Royal Highness Qin Wang himself"!

Well, this one is different. Those so-called His Royal Highness King Qin applaud the signs, but everyone knows what’s going on. Some of them are Zhang Nuo’s favorite snacks or snacks. After saying hello, some of them were being polite, while others were simply pretending to be themselves.

But this kind of signboard will not cause any trouble to the Qin Palace. After all, even if Zhang Nuo eats a snack or snack that he thinks is good, if someone else has something wrong with eating it, can he still go to the Qin Palace?

But this one is different, because it says that His Royal Highness the King of Qin "designed it himself", just because of the word "personally", it really has something to do with the Prince Qin's mansion.

After all, this means that the king of Qin himself has come to an end, doesn't it?

Lao Fang immediately became angry, why?Our Qin Palace is kind to others, so we think our Qin Palace is really easy to bully?

I'm afraid this nima doesn't know what the number one king in the world is?

Lao Fang is also a person from the market, and he also pays attention to being kind to others, but because he was born in the market, he knows what it means to make progress. Over the years, the Qin Palace has not only been kind to others.

Lao Fang felt that since the master's family is not at home right now, he would not bother the master's wife to worry about such matters, and he had to do things beautifully.

So I turned around and called a group of nursing homes and servants to go out to find something. Oh, I can’t call it a nursing home now. Zhang Nuo’s Prince Qin’s mansion here are all specially trained guards, the kind who wear military uniforms and get paid. .

But it turned out that Lao Fang had just called the good man and hadn't left the house yet. The other party's boss came to explain him on his own initiative, and without saying a word, he took out [-]% of his money!

Even if Lao Fang was full of anger at the moment, he couldn't kill the other party indiscriminately, so he gave Fu Fang a chance to explain.

Then the other party explained the matter clearly, and now it was Lao Fang's turn to scratch his head. It seemed that His Royal Highness really made this thing.

This person is actually the eldest of three brothers in the family. The second and third child in the family were a bit skilled and flexible, so they were very lucky to be recruited by the bicycle factory for the first batch of workers, while the eldest was in A little business at home!
