Soon, the servant led a middle-aged man to Xu Ping and bowed and said, "I have met an official in my little Cheng Benzhang."

Seeing that Cheng Benzhang was in his forties, he had a black beard on his forehead, and he had a gentle temperament. I had a little impression in my memory. It should be that Xu Chang's subordinates had been mentioned as the supervisor here in the past two years.

Xu Ping pointed to the large row of dishes on the table not far away and asked this chapter: "How did you think of selling vegetables like this? You can't be whimsical, there is a reason, right?"

Cheng Benzhang said: "Return to the officials, many yamen now sell food to officials like this. In addition, they have been opened by the shop opened by Wei Tai Zhang's family a few months ago, so they came up with this method."

Xu Ping was puzzled and asked Wang Gongchen beside him: "Taiwei Zhang is the former Privy Councilor Zhang Yuanbi? Aren't he still an official in Xiangzhou? What shop did he open at home?"

Wang Gongchen said: "Who else can Zhang Taiwei in the capital? It's him. He served as an official in Xiangzhou, but his family business is still in the capital. His family has countless descendants. Although his salary is good, he has no other investments in the past two years. Many descendants still feel that it is inconvenient. Since the Sansi Shop opened, many shops selling various groceries in the capital have opened. The best business is the one that Zhang Taiwei's family opened more than half a year ago. If it weren't for the Sansi Shop's most complete goods, the business would not be as good as his family."

The goods produced by the new market are not only sold to Sansi Shop, but other shops can also be sold in batches. There are only a few Sansi Shops, which is obviously not enough for the huge capital. As the goods inside are familiar to the people in the capital, there are also many shops that have been made. But if Xu Ping said that the business can be better than Sansi Shop, he was still a little surprised.

After looking at the companions sitting around him, they all looked like they were not surprised. Xu Ping couldn't help but ask Wang Gongchen: "June, what are the methods of Wei Wei Zhang's shop? How can he have such a good business?"

Speaking of this, Wang Gongchen laughed: "Other shops are all learning from the Sansi shop. The goods are behind the counter. The customers want to buy them and ask the people in the shop to come over to see them. Moreover, they buy one and pay one. It is very inconvenient to buy them. Zhang Taiwei's shop at home has removed the counter and hired a few more servants to look at the shop. The goods are picked casually, and they just put them away when they like them. Then they will calculate the money together. In this way, it will be much more convenient than other shops. How can the business be bad?"

Xu Ping opened his mouth and finally didn't say what he wanted to say. Is this the city? Zhang Qi's son is not serious and capable, but he has talent in this regard. Among the people at the level of the priest, Zhang Qi and Chen Yaozuo's family have the most descendants, with more than a dozen sons of the Chen family and more than twenty sons of Zhang Qi, so he can't count them. With such a family, although Zhang Qi has a generous salary, he cannot guarantee that everyone will have a wealth of food and food, and his descendants will inevitably have to use other ideas. Especially after Zhao Zhen took power, Zhang Qi fell out of favor and lost a lot of extra money, and everyone was even more versatile.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ping asked Wang Gongchen: "I wonder which yamen in Taiwei Zhang's family came up with such a strange way?"

"Where are such outstanding figures in the descendants of the Zhang family? This method was thought out by Taiwei Zhang himself!"

Xu Pingyue was surprised and asked the people who came with him to understand the reason.

When Empress Dowager Liu was in power, Zhang Qi became a Privy Councilor and said that he had earned money to the peak of officials. But this person was greedy for money. Not to mention anything else, the slave maids hired at home asked him to ask for wages, and then he tried every means to earn money back from these people. Think about it, the Privy Councilor was in charge of the entire government. In order to prevent the money from spending the money outside in the family, he personally saw these people when he was sick. He opened a pharmacy at home, and he charged the same fees as the doctors outside. This is not counting. In order to earn money from these people to buy daily necessities, he did business at his own home. Every time he arrived at the Gu family, he would set up various goods in the corridors of the house, so that the slave maids would buy concubines, so he could make money.

When doing business at home, I naturally don’t have to be as strict as the shops outside. This is the prototype of the market. The business in the capital was driven by Sansi Shop, and his descendants took Zhang Qi’s method outside, and it actually started and the business became prosperous.

Xu Ping only felt that his thinking could not keep up. The world was changing too quickly. Perhaps in a few decades, many new things that he could never imagine would emerge in this era.

Zhang Qi is also a strange man. He has been with Emperor Zhenzong, who was the crown prince at that time since he could remember. When Zhenzong ascended the throne, he rose to the sky as an old man in the vassal residence. Before he ascended the throne, Emperor Zhenzong of Song was forced to send Empress Dowager Liu out by Emperor Taizong. Zhang Qi respectfully helped Emperor Zhenzong raise him in his family for more than ten years. When Empress Dowager Liu was in power, his status was unparalleled. This person who had been by the emperor for the rest of his life loved money as his life, and could think of any way to make money.

Xu Ping could only sigh, sighing that human wisdom is infinite. Don’t teach them why new things are needed. As long as you open a door by yourself, people of this era can walk out of a bright road.

Xu Ping sighed for a long time when he asked the supervisor to go back and work hard. From this, he also understood in his heart that as long as he grasped the general direction and pointed out where the road was, he did not need to do everything himself. There are many talented people in every era, and they just didn’t walk on the road that suits him by chance. He had been dull for these days and suddenly became clear. It was not necessary to shoulder the responsibility of the entire era on his shoulders. If he had not had that thousand years of experience, he might not have been better than many people in this era. The road has been pointed out, and now he just needs to find the people who explore the way.

After picking up the wine and food, Xu Ping took the drinks for three rounds, put down the wine glass, and said to Wang Yaochen and Han Qi: "You two are together, and there is something I am about to discuss with you. Since Fan Xiwen left the Imperial College to go to Kaifeng Prefecture, the Imperial College has been led by the Censorate. There is no one to preside over the presidency. It is not a solution to this last. I have a candidate here, and I want to recommend him to act in the Imperial College. I wonder what you think?"

Han Qi said: "I don't know which one Yunxing wants to recommend? There are quite a few people who have learned a lot in recent years."

"This man is not very old. He is a Jinshi in the first year of Jingyou and Li Liu, the magistrate of Fangcheng."

When Li Wei followed Xu Ping, Han Qi had met several times, but he was just a general friend and didn't know much. After hearing Xu Ping's words, he turned to Wang Yaochen and said, "Boyong had a lot of contact with him when he was in Xijing. What do you think?"

Wang Yaochen nodded: "The Strategy for Prospering the Country and Safeguarding the People" compiled by Jingxi Road is reasonable and well-founded, and has his own theory. Li Yue should make a contribution. Although he is less than 30 years old, he has profound classics, full of poetry and books, and has unique insights, so he is a suitable candidate."
