Chapter 618 The entanglement of cause and effect
Chapter 618 The entanglement of cause and effect
The rice at home is ripe.
Liangqu has two hundred acres of rice frogs and rice leeches. The harvest season begins in November and the results are inspected.
If nothing unexpected happens, production will be expanded significantly next summer.
In the past, when the imperial court rewarded Liang Qu with the Dragon Blood Horse, he did not go to a horse dealer to hire a skilled horseman. Instead, he asked Yang Dongxiong for Fan Xinglai, who was about twelve or thirteen years old and was the youngest son of Yang's horseman.
Without him.
It is safe to use for children at home.
If the family does not have enough children, then look for children from the same hometown, the same prefecture, county, town, or village (the smaller the place, the better).
We need manpower, for one thing.
The second is to expand influence.
Liang Qu had never seen it when he was in academy, but he had heard of it.
The examination halls for county examinations were often much more luxurious than those for provincial and metropolitan examinations of higher levels, simply because all the candidates in the county examinations were locals, and the local gentry were willing to spend money to build houses for them, so that they would have the friendship to help them achieve success in the future.
On the other hand, for the provincial examination, candidates come from all over the country, and after a few days of testing, no one cares about you at all.
Yang Dongxiong has become a master and has many ways to make money, so he doesn't need to be confined to a small martial arts school.
It is like Liang Qu bringing in the King of Yue as his "umbrella".
A martial saint can protect big businesses, while a master can protect small businesses.
However, the martial arts school cannot stop.
It is a root.
A symbol and coordinate of the Yang family in Pingyang Prefecture.
From Pingyang Town to Pingyang County and then to today's Pingyang Prefecture, great changes have taken place one after another, but as long as the Yang's Martial Arts School, which has a legitimate origin, remains standing, its influence will always remain above the standard.
If you have influence, people will admire you.
As long as someone yearns for it, they can always take root firmly in the place.
Such benefits may not appear immediately, but they may appear one day.
Based on Liang Qu’s personal experience.
Single point.
When he signed up to learn martial arts in the past, his fellow villager Li Libo highly praised Yang Dongxiong.
Therefore, even though the Yang's was the most expensive among the three martial arts schools, requiring seven taels of silver, Liang Qu still went there.
Cause and effect entanglement.
Who can tell?
As time goes by, it's inevitable that you will develop feelings for a place.
No father and no mother.
Wherever the master is, that is home.
"Outstanding disciples don't need to be rewarded with silver. Instead, they can be given a semester and have their training level raised from three months to four or five months. Their salary can be raised from seven taels to twenty taels, which can be used to drink medicinal soup... During this time, we need to give Senior Brother Hu and Senior Brother Xiang a higher salary, and recruit more outstanding disciples to assist in teaching..."
Liang Qu listed a number of measures one after another.
Xu nodded silently.
"If you are really willing to do so, I will do as you say. From now on, I will keep this money for you and treat it as a gift to you. If you want to use it, just let me know."
Liang Qu was delighted: "Thank you, Master's wife."
"How much shark silk do you have? I'll arrange it and weave it as soon as possible. It should be available in late November."
"No, no, no, don't rush to sell it!"
"Oh, why?"
"I have to trouble Old Master Xu first to find a reliable old friend in the palace. Otherwise, why would I ask Sister Nan Di to tell you to choose a wife you can trust? I don't want others to know about this thing first."
"What does this have to do with my father?"
"Old Master Xu was once the Minister of Imperial Households! He has been an official in the capital for decades, and he distributed meat during the annual grand sacrifices. He must know the two eunuchs, right? Spend some more money and send them to the imperial concubine in the palace to wear, so that the Holy Emperor can appreciate them."
Liang Qu started talking and continued to talk.
From sending them to the palace, to paying tribute, to creating a brand, limiting the number, setting standards, and using hunger marketing...
Xu was stunned.
"Master's wife?"
"go on."
"A brand has three elements: name, icon, and slogan. As for the icon, I have an idea."
Liang Qu looked around and saw tea on the table. He dipped his index finger in the water and drew an icon with two strokes.
A simple, curved "Y" symbolizes the mermaid's tail and highlights the material.
"I haven't thought of a name or slogan yet, but I'd like to make it as simple and catchy as possible."
Xu's eyes lit up slightly.
"It sounds feasible. If we do what you said, it will be more than 60 to 100 taels." "It's not good to be too expensive. Few people will buy it and it will be difficult to circulate it. What we need to do is to separate the levels into three levels, high, medium and low. The high ones will only be given away and not sold, and the medium and low ones will be sold in limited quantities."
Nandi was dumbfounded.
It turns out that what I said before is still only a small part.
How can you make so many different styles with tiny socks?
The more Xu listened, the more surprised he became. He joked, "If you go into business, you will definitely become a wealthy businessman in Liang."
"It's not that easy. What I said is all easy to copy. It's nameless and has no status. It's most likely not Liang, but some Liu or Zhang."
"I don't think so." Xu shook her head. "I've seen quite a few clever people who, when they come up with a good idea, they can't wait to throw it all out to let the world know their abilities.
But the truly smart ones have lots of good ideas in their heads. They are not in a hurry and have a lot of patience. They will definitely integrate into the environment first and will not easily let themselves suffer losses. "
Liang Qu laughed.
Xu spread open the silk gauze, revealing her palms. "This can only be worn by women, right?"
"almost."
"What made you think of this?"
Xu was curious.
The dragon girls were all very pretty. After just a few months of being together, their every move and demeanor had not changed at all, and they were all virgins.
This one item is enough to prove that Liang Qu is definitely not someone who is good at specializing in this matter.
"The day before yesterday, Master's wife gave me clothes. It was dim at night, and I saw Dragon Girl wearing a piece of mermaid silk. I got it by chance."
"So it's my fault, then?"
"So when there is something good, I will think of Master's Wife first. Senior Brother Xu just told me yesterday that when you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well."
Xu was amused.
"We know your character, but outsiders don't. If you really want to make a name for yourself in the future, people will say that you are a man who only cares about women's things. Even if you make a lot of money, your reputation will not be good."
Liang Qu was stunned.
"Master's wife, do you have a solution?"
"Don't you have a dragon girl? If you say that it was obtained during your pleasure in the boudoir, you can gain a reputation as a playboy if it gets out."
"Ahem." Liang Qu coughed violently, "You absolutely cannot do that. It will ruin your reputation."
Xu narrowed his eyes.
"Wouldn't it be good if you could get something done? I see that some of the girls like you very much. When they are around you, their brows relax, but when you leave, they tense up again.
To put it bluntly, being with you makes me feel safe and secure, and I don’t even know what you do on a daily basis.”
Liang Qu was stunned.
Is there?
Xu held his forehead with his hand.
"I took them shopping a few times, just to buy things? They were all nice girls, so I never introduced you to a good family. Otherwise, let alone the big hunting meeting, after the birthday banquet, when Shan Shiyue came to Huangzhou, many people came to me for matchmaking.
In short, when you are hungry, you want to eat; when you are cold, you want to get warm; when you are tired, you want to rest. It is what people are born with. No matter if you have the mind or not, you should avoid messy places on weekdays, understand?"
"Disciple understands, it definitely won't happen, they are all unfortunate women."
"Okay, I'll think of a way." Mrs. Xu patted the cloth, "Leave the three pieces of silk with me first, I'll send them away."
"I still have six more horses. I'll ask someone to deliver them to you later. Thank you, Master's Wife and Sister Nandi."
"One family does not speak two languages."
Xu patted Liang Qu's forehead like coaxing a child, and Nan Di waved and followed him out of the house.
"Phew! All right."
Liang Qu believed in the Xu family, and believed even more in the Xu family's abilities.
Starting out as a cloth seller, once you know one thing you can learn a lot. Just give a concept and capable people will fill in the rest of the details.
Pengze.
Most of the tents have been folded up, and the big and small packages have been packed and tied up.
It turned out that it was difficult to command the young mermaids to move, but now that they knew they were going to the Jianghuai Lake, they packed up most of them in one night.
This shows that they are full of enthusiasm and energy.
Quan Linghan shook his head helplessly.
The Jianghuai Lake.
The ships of Tianbo Chamber of Commerce are anchored on the water.
Good swimmers jump into the water carrying seeds for precious plants, look for places, and bury them one by one.
In a short while, green buds that had absorbed all the water began to sprout and grow.
Several big monsters watched silently.
