Chapter 279: Loyalty? Ruthless
I still remember that when the newspaper was first established, everyone thought it was just a money-losing thing. Who knew that people would buy a small booklet for every penny, and some random advertisements in the newspaper would make amazing profits.
Not only are the profits amazing, but the supply of advertising space is in short supply!
Just like the last time, Liuxiang Pavilion and Chunfenglou, two brothels fought for the advertising space in the brochure, competing to raise their prices.
Moreover, the advertisements published in newspapers for different groups of people are also different. The newspaper advertisements for poor people all over the world are about which steamed buns are delicious, and which one has discounted pens, inks, papers and inkstones at affordable prices.
All the interspersed advertisements on the brochure were deleted, and all of them were placed on the last page, which would not affect the user's reading experience, and all of them were luxury items with high prices.
What kind of gold bracelet, jade dish and glass cup? Which company's rouge gouache is better.
Of course, which brothel oiran is more... moist...
Moreover, the advertising pages are printed extremely beautifully.
It's just such a thing that anyone who starts it will lose money, and now it has turned into a business with the smallest investment and the highest return.
Look, this is Brother Xu!
In the past, Xiao Ye still remembered that brother Xu would complain to himself from time to time: the county magistrate of his boss cheated him again, and his own father cheated him again!
Only now did Xiao Ye realize that when Brother Xu said that others cheated him, it was only because what Brother Xu earned did not meet his own expectations.
lose money? nonexistent!
Take the former Yong’an county magistrate as an example: three months’ wages were gone, and the money for solving a case was not reimbursed once, and then a miraculous thing happened. Two days later, the boss’s house became his house, and no money was spent. , from the dilapidated courtyard to the magistrate's mansion.
Later, his daughter was cheated away, did he lose money?
Let's talk about the father's side: whoever lost this, and who lost it, directly took the money from the court to set up the National Chamber of Commerce, so the business can't expand? The government helped to expand the business to the entire Chu State, and also won the title of a county earl. I heard that a few days ago, he also got the transfer order of the three guards.
What's even more frightening is that little sister Own is still determined to go with him. After such a calculation, is Brother Xu at a loss?
Xiao Ye has never seen such a good businessman in his life!
From then on, Xiao Ye realized that if he followed Brother Xu in this life, he would not worry about having no money to spend!
Xiao Ye felt that he could always trust Brother Xu's vision!
In the entire state of Chu, no one knows how to do business better than Brother Xu!
You may make a small profit, but Brother Xu will never lose money!
the other side
The conversation between Xu Qing and Taoist Chunyang is coming to an end, and the dispatching ability of the National Chamber of Commerce is still terrifying. As long as it is finalized, the infrastructure can be started soon.
Taoist Master Chunyang still had some things to move to the Chunyang Taoist Temple on Zhongshan Mountain, so he left because it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.
Originally Xu Qing wanted to call some people to help Taoist Chunyang, but Taoist Chunyang refused.
After sending the person away, Xiao Ye quickly said his goodbyes and left, continuing to be his street runner, and recently Xiao Ye's mood is getting better and better.
I heard that his father hasn't beaten him for almost a month, and it's normal to flutter.
The most important thing is that the current Xiao Ye has finally found a suitable target to beat up. Now Xiao Ye's search range is mainly between the big gambling houses in Beijing and central China, especially those rich and powerful children who like to beat cheaters.
The children of the rich and powerful are all crying, this world is too difficult, it is fine not to let them bully others or rob people's daughters by force, but now they even have to control them playing cards.
He doesn't even care about the "Great Chu Law Order" when he plays cards, it's his own ability, so why does he, Xiao Ye, even care about this? !
Does that mean they will be in charge of going to brothels in the future? !
Does this make the dandy live?
When Xu Qing got home, she was still calculating, alas, it's a loss again...
...
In the morning of the next day, Xu Qing met Xian Wang when he was planning a rice paper workshop at the National Business School.
King Xian walked into the guard room, looked at it, Xu cleared the pen and paper on the table, and said casually: "Didn't study the secret book?"
Xu Qing stood up and heard this sentence, a little embarrassment appeared on his face: "Ahem... the research is over..."
After a while of embarrassing opening remarks, King Xian explained the purpose of his visit. Now that the shadow guard training is over, he can start to check the accounts.
It's quite new for shadow guards majoring in accounting to check the accounts. Of course, shadow guards are also new.
Xu Qing looked at the Xian King and said, "My lord, even if the shadow guards find out something, they probably destroyed all the criminal evidence last time, and some people may even have found a scapegoat. A string of numbers on the account can’t convict them, can it?”
After listening to Xu Qing's words, the virtuous king took it for granted, "Why does this king need evidence to convict them?"
When Xu Qing heard this, he looked at King Xian, his eyes froze.
The virtuous king said: "Have you ever heard the saying that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "I have."
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing and said, "Do you think this sentence reflects the loyalty of your subjects?"
Xu Qing: "Isn't it?"
Xian Wang: "No, this sentence reflects the ruthlessness of the king!"
King Xian sat down on a chair beside him, and gestured to Xu Qing to sit down beside him, and Xu Qing also walked over and sat down.
The virtuous king said: "You might as well assume that if you were involved in corruption and bribery, and destroyed the evidence and found a scapegoat, would you dare not go if this king transfers him to be Yongzhou Sima?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "Of course I wouldn't dare."
The wise king of Chu is the biggest, and his words are much more effective than the emperor.
A gleam of coldness flashed in King Xian's eyes and said: "What if he died of illness on the way, or was intercepted and killed by horse bandits, or died of disobedience in Yongzhou?"
Xu Qing's expression froze instantly when he heard King Xian's words. That's right, why did King Xian kill people with evidence? Is it okay if you don't like it? !
Moreover, why do I always feel that King Xian is quite proficient in this business?
King Xian said: "Of course, it's not limited to these, and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice can also let the Dali Temple try according to law. For example, even if the money has been hidden in the matter, but when the king asked the shadow guard to search, it happened to be in the courtyard where there was nothing. A bundle full of gold was found in the side room, do you think such a thing is possible?"
Xu Qing was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I see."
King Xian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, although you are like a fish in water in the business world, you are still as naive as a three-year-old child in the official world. Don't be dazzled by the many adults in the court. mind, and thus ignore the turmoil beneath the surface."
"Don't trust anyone in the officialdom, of course, except this king."
Xu Qing: "..."
It seems that among so many people, you are the most untrustworthy, right?
