Chapter 588 Jinyiwei and dogs are not allowed to enter

Chapter 588 Jinyiwei and dogs are not allowed to enter

Seven days later, the door of Wangji Grocery Store near Jubao Gate was open as usual.

Shopkeeper Wang Tong walked out of the door leisurely.

Facing the sunshine, I close my eyes slightly and show a little comfort.

But even though the sun is shining, I feel lazy.

But the haze in my heart could never be dispelled.

Looking at the crowd coming and going in front of him, Wang Tong sighed.

"One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises"

Shi Yashan was found at the door of a shop some time ago, but the person who did it has not yet been investigated.

Now the entire government is in conflict with the Ministry of Works.

Even the Governor's Office did not treat the Jinyiwei well.

This made Wang Tong feel that the situation had changed suddenly and Jinyiwei was no longer a good place.

Looking at the shops behind him, a hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Tong's eyes.

I thought that after this exposure, I could move on.

At worst, you can move to another place and stop doing business.

Unexpectedly, the government office was suddenly short of staff, and the superiors seemed to be getting by.
They actually let him, a Jinyiwei whose identity had already been exposed, continue to stay here!

Wang Tong couldn't understand why this was making him a target.

"Ugh"

With a heavy sigh, Wang Tong opened his eyes slightly.

"Huh? What is this?"

There were two exquisite cards scattered randomly on the ground in front of him. The paper looked thick and there were words on it.

Wang Tong's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had really become a target.

He looked around cautiously.

Braving the sun, he moved forward and picked up the card.

When he looked closely, the few large words that came into view immediately caught his attention.

"Big opening promotion, come buy and get a house for free!"

Wang Tong curled his lips: "It's a trick."

"One penny of silver can be used to draw a prize?"

"Special Prize: A three-story house in Yingtian City."

But as his gaze turned, Wang Tong's eyes suddenly widened.

He blinked, somewhat suspecting that he had seen it wrong. A three-story house?
For some reason, Wang Tong felt uncomfortable.
Although I have made a lot of money as a Jinyiwei for so many years,
But houses in Yingtian are too expensive.

Now he lives in a two-story house in a very remote location, and this has cost him most of his savings.

Now, buy something and win a prize? Enter the house three times?
Wang Tong leaned his head closer and looked at the small words below.

[The address of the house is No. 10, Xinliang Lane, Zhongzheng Street]
"bang bang bang"

Wang Tong's heart beat faster.
Zhongzheng Street is a great place, very close to the imperial city.

If I could have a house there, I wouldn't have to rush early to go to the imperial government office.

But soon, Wang Tong sneered and shook his head helplessly.

Nowadays, the business in Beijing is booming, and tricks are emerging one after another.
In order to attract customers, these businesses resorted to such means.

Wang Tong turned the card over to see which company was making such a boast.

When the time comes, record your name in the government office.

If there is anything that does not comply with the rules in the future, we will punish them.

But soon, Wang Tong saw the four big words engraved on the front.

[Yingtian Commercial Bank]
"Yingtian Commercial Bank?"

Wang Tong blinked, was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned the card over again.

Watched it again and again on the special prize.
He continued to look down.

“First Prize: Entering the supply chain system of Yingtian Commercial Bank.

The winner of this award will directly establish in-depth cooperation with Yingtian Commercial Bank.

Priority is given to obtaining the purchasing channels of various scarce goods.

Enjoy a purchase price 20% lower than the market average.
Have priority in cargo allocation, transportation and other aspects.

And you can participate in high-end business exchange activities within Yingtian Commercial Bank.

Expand personal connections and resources to help rapidly expand your business territory."

"Second Prize: 100 taels of gold!"

"Third prize: 500 taels of silver!"

"Fourth Prize: Ten pieces of top-quality silk!"

“Fifth Prize: A piece of Jingdezhen official kiln porcelain!”

“Consolation Prize: A bag of sugar (one pound)”

Looking at these small words, Wang Tong felt his throat dry.

After carefully checking for a long time, he found that this was true.

Because it is stamped with the seals of Yingtian Commercial Bank and Yingtian Prefecture.

"You can draw a lottery for just one tael of silver?"

Wang Tong muttered to himself carefully, wishing he could go buy one right now.

Even if he was short of money, one penny was more than enough, and the prize was so generous.

Especially this award.

As a businessman, he knew too well the importance of this thing.

This is even more precious than the special prize.

With the current momentum, Yingtian Commercial Bank is sure to be very popular.

If I could send the stuff in and sell it, that would be a really stable way to make money.

The more I watch, the more excited I am.
Wang Tong felt that he had to give it a try no matter what!
Although the relationship between Jinyiwei and Lu Yunyi was very tense, understanding the enemy was also a way to deal with the enemy.

"I'll just go and take a look."

Holding the card, Wang Tong turned and walked into the house. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the card was cleverly designed.

"Big opening promotion, come buy and get a house for free!"

The people of Yingtian had never seen such a scene.

The special prize attracts ordinary people, and the first prize attracts businessmen.

Even if I don’t win the prize, it doesn’t matter. The consolation prize is a bag of sugar, which is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

But what is this final “grand prize”?

Wang Tong looked carefully and found that it was not written on it.
But he soon stopped and found a line of tiny hidden words at the bottom of the card.

He thought it was some kind of disclaimer and right of interpretation,

Unexpectedly
Wang Tong slowly raised his head, blinked blankly, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully again.

Finally found out that he was not wrong.

[Jinyi Guards and dogs are not allowed to enter]
Chenjiazhuang, Shangyuan County, since the last time I went to Yingtian Prefecture Government.

The atmosphere in the entire Chenjiazhuang was a bit depressing.

The usual employees of the business are gone.

The simple stalls at the entrance of the village were also removed, and the busy atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

People returned to their idle state.

Eating, farming, sleeping, there is no hope in life.

At this moment, some villagers who had finished their work gathered at the entrance of the village.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at Zhaojiacun at the end of his sight.

After the business decided not to cooperate with Chenjiazhuang, it turned to Zhaojiacun.

Now, the business's tricycles are coming and going all day long.

From the original one, it has grown to more than ten vehicles now, all loaded with goods.

What made them even more angry was.

Not only can things be sold in Zhaojia Village.

Those guys also bought a lot of things from the business.

If we sell it to Chenjiazhuang at a high price, it will make many people angry.

But there is nothing we can do.

Whenever they thought of this, everyone in Chenjiazhuang felt a deep sense of regret.
These good things originally belonged to them!
Old man Chen, who was brewing wine at the entrance of Chenjiazhuang Village, was even more worried.

I sit at the door and sigh all day, and today is no exception.

The rice wine business is still viable, but it is no longer possible to make a lot of money by selling it in the city.

Now I can’t even make the little money I used to make.

It turns out that rice wine can be sold to several neighboring villages.
I am extremely busy and exhausted every day, and sigh all day long.

But now, the old man Zhao from Zhaojia Village has evil intentions.
The wine from the city also started to be sold.
Although it is more expensive than his, his wine jug is more beautiful.

Some people save a few steps and have good sales.

As time went by, Old Man Chen's business became a little quiet.
I spend the whole day leisurely, but still sigh.

Sometimes he couldn't help thinking,

If I had not been deceived and greedy,
His small workshop might have expanded production a long time ago, and he could have helped relatives and friends, which would have been great. Now, he can't even sell a jar of wine a day.

"Ugh"

Old man Chen sighed heavily again.

At this time, a child came running on the path at the entrance of the village, holding a huge piece of white paper in his hand.

He ran and yelled:

"It's time to draw a lottery, it's time to draw a lottery."

A group of people at the entrance of the village quickly gathered around and took the white paper to examine it.
Although I am not very literate,

But after a few words, the group soon understood the general meaning of the above.

Old man Chen also came over.
He is well-read and can understand things better than others.

Seeing them talking at the same time, Old Man Chen simply took the white paper and started reading it himself.

[Special Award: Rebuilding an entire village.]
[On the day of the opening ceremony of Yingtian Commercial Bank,
The Yingtian Commercial Bank invited respected elders from the villages near the eight counties of Yingtian, representatives of government officials in the city, and commercial banks to participate in the witnessing.

All eligible village names,

It will be written on a special bamboo stick and placed in a lottery box.

Under the supervision of everyone, a bamboo stick is randomly drawn, and the village that is drawn is the lucky winner.]
[Award Implementation: Once the winning village is determined,
Yingtian Trading Company immediately dispatched professional craftsmen to the village.

Conduct in-depth investigation of the village’s topography, folk culture, population structure, and existing building layout.

On this basis, the reconstruction plan is carefully designed.

From residential style, public facilities layout to road traffic planning,
Every detail will take full account of the interests and feelings of the villagers.]
"What do you mean?"

A middle-aged man looked confused.

He could understand all these words, but when they were put together he had no idea what they meant.

Old Man Liu pondered for a while and said:
"It seems like they're drawing bamboo sticks. After the winner is selected, Yingtian Commercial Bank will build houses for the entire village."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
Winning the lottery to build a house? Is there such a good thing?

Old Man Liu continued reading.

[Reconstruction project progress: Use ultra-high-quality building materials,
Ensure that the rebuilt village houses are durable, safe and comfortable so that they can be lived in for a hundred years!

During the construction process, we strictly adhere to the project quality standards and control the construction progress.

Priority will be given to the construction of houses for villagers so that they can move into their new homes as soon as possible.

At the same time, the construction of public facilities is being promoted simultaneously.
In addition, a complete road transportation system will be built, and wide main roads in the village will connect each household.

The convenient road out of the village leads directly to the nearby official road, making it convenient for villagers to travel and transport goods. ]
[Quality Supervision and Acceptance:
During the entire reconstruction process, Yingtian Commercial Bank will set up a quality supervision team with the Ministry of Industry to inspect the progress and quality of the project.

Invite village representatives to participate in supervision and listen to their opinions and suggestions in a timely manner.]
[Note: All expenses for rebuilding the village will be borne by Yingtian Commercial Bank.
We will strive to complete the construction within one month after it starts, so that all villagers can move into their new homes!
In addition, all villagers can participate in the reconstruction of the village, and Yingtian Commercial Bank will pay wages according to their work. ]
[All the above promises are guaranteed by the Five Military Commandery, the Ministry of Works, and the Yingtian Prefecture.

If Yingtian Commercial Bank fails to fulfill this provision,
The three yamen jointly built and rebuilt the village.]
As the last word was read, everyone finally understood.

It turned out that Yingtian Commercial Bank wanted to rebuild the house, and I could also earn wages from it.

Seeing their happy faces,

Old man Chen, who was standing on the tree stump, glanced at them:
"Don't be too happy too soon, we still have to draw the lottery, it's not just for us."

"What are you afraid of? We have a lot of people in Chenjia Village, so our chances of winning are much greater."

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone was talking at once. Old man Chen frowned and waved his hands:
"Shut up, shut up. If anyone can go, it will be a mess. It's written here."

[The company will send carriages to various villages on August 31st.

Invite respected elders to participate in the opening of the business on September 1st.]
"One person from each village shall be sent, and the accompanying personnel shall not exceed three persons. If the rest of the people follow, they shall go at their own expense."

Old Man Chen continued to read, his expression suddenly changed, and disbelief flashed in his eyes:

"Hurry up and tell me, what are you standing there for?"

Old Man Chen looked grim, and said in a deep voice:

[Lucky draw requirements: Anyone who has been providing stable supply to Yingtian Commercial Bank in the past two months,
And the quality is qualified and the quantity meets the agreed requirements,
Villages with no employee casualties are eligible to participate in the draw.]
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally bustling village entrance became as dead silent as a field after an autumn wind.

On Fudong Street, Yingtian Commercial Bank is bustling with activity.

Half the street has been covered with thick curtains.
There are yamen runners and city defense troops on duty around, and no one is allowed to approach.

At the back door of Yingtian Commercial Bank, countless people were hurriedly moving goods and putting them on the shelves.

They are all muscular and strong.

At first glance, you can tell he’s a military man!
At this moment, Guo Quan was carrying a huge table, with his upper body naked, and walked in through the spacious door.

Seeing him like this, Xu Zengshou, who was giving orders non-stop, smiled and patted his belly:
"You're great. I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be getting stronger."

Guo Quan's face flushed red at this moment, and he held his breath and cursed:
"Asshole, tell me where to put it, I can't stand it anymore!"

"Third floor, third floor, this is the finest mahogany table, the best sample.

The furniture shops in the palace depend on it to make a fortune.

Don't knock it, be careful."

"Shut up, come and try to carry one."

Guo Quan's face turned red and he disappeared into the business in a flash.

Today's business is no longer the shabby business that was made up of a dozen shops.

As the prospects became clearer, the two government offices and the palace increased their investment!
Now the business has expanded to next door to Yingtian Prefecture Yamen.

It became a square behemoth that took up half of the street!

Compared with it, the Yingtian Prefecture Yamen seems dwarfed by the giant.

At this moment, outside the business.

Lu Yunyi stood at the front of the group, frowning as he looked at the purchasing aisle in front of him.

Li Zhigang on the side was scratching his head anxiously:
"Sir, the company has expanded by nearly 40%.
The original channel is not enough, this is a newly added channel.

I thought that in the future, all the objects that would pass through here would be hard and not easily broken.

The original passage was only used for the entry and exit of fruits and vegetables.
After all, it is close to the entrance, so it is easier to get goods.

Moreover, the people entered the business houses,

The first thing I look at is fruits and vegetables, and other items are not so urgent."

Lu Yunyi frowned and picked up the company's design drawings to examine them carefully.

He found that this store was very different from the impression he had of a shopping mall and looked messy.

It is just a simple distinction between the various types of shops.
It was like the entire market was categorized and put into it.

However, considering the time and terrain constraints, it is already very good to be able to build it like this.

In any case, new things are always chaotic and disorderly,

It takes time and practice to constantly correct it so that it can reach a relatively good state.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi said in a deep voice:

“Let’s leave it like this for now, the planning inside is still a bit messy.

But as the first large-scale commercial complex in Daming, it is sufficient and we will make adjustments later.”

"The business is about to open. Has the staff training been completed?" Lu Yunyi asked again.

Li Zhigang looked at a middle-aged man behind him and introduced:

"Sir, this is Ren Hong, the former owner of the Ministry of Industry Workshop.
I was responsible for things like staffing and craftsman training, and now I’m responsible for all staff training.”

Ren Hong took a step forward and bowed:
“Greetings, sir. The company employs more than 1,300 people.
All training and job assignments were completed yesterday.

Most of them were clerks who had voluntarily resigned from various government offices, retired soldiers, and employees of palace workshops.

As well as personnel drawn from various government offices under the many military governors' offices.

They already had some experience, so the training went very smoothly.

In the first month of opening,

If they want to stay in the firm, they can continue to stay.
If you don't want to stay, the company will implement the strategy of using the old to bring up the new, and gradually hire people from Yingtian City and the eight surrounding counties."

"Where are the accountant and cashier? Has the palace transferred them over?" Lu Yunyi asked:
"Reporting to the Lord, I was already in place yesterday.

Most of them were old shopkeepers and accountants in the palace, government offices, and imperial farms.

The Censorate also sent nearly 20 censors to prepare to set up a supervisory agency.

"Yeah, not bad. Where's Zhang Yu?"

Lu Yunyi looked around and found that the person in charge was nowhere to be seen.

"Reporting to the Lord, Lord Zhang is at the main entrance of the business.

Arrange the defense of the opening and the soldiers to maintain order, as well as some venue arrangements. "

Lu Yunyi nodded and said:

"Several governors from the Governor's Office and several ministers from the six ministries will be here this afternoon."

Li Zhigang's eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became rapid!

He is looking forward to this day all day long.

After all, the company has been busy with this project for two months.

He has done a good job and is now waiting for the court to come and inspect it.

Lu Yunyi glanced at him and shook his head:

“You don’t need to get excited or make special preparations, everything will remain the same.

Unless His Majesty and the Crown Prince come, no one else can delay the work.

Moreover, I will explain to them and ask them to come less frequently in the future.
How can I do business if I have to serve them all day long?

Oh, by the way, prepare the relevant documents this afternoon and follow along."

Li Zhigang's blood boiled and he spoke loudly:
"Yes, my lord!"
