Chapter 269 Investment Attraction

Values ​​should be simple and correct.

The shopkeeper should do his job well. It would be wrong for the shopkeeper to drink from the customers. It is not professional ethics and will make the customers feel embarrassed. I don’t know if I should tip the accompanying partner when checking out.

What if this beautiful female shopkeeper still works as a part-time wine shopkeeper? That would be even more unpleasant.

Spend clear money and be a dignified person.

Huangfu Sisi was stunned for a long time, staring at Gu Qing blankly, still unable to believe that he would drive away her, the charming beauty. This was an experience she had never had before. In the past, when guests in the inn saw her, they were like dogs seeing bones, and they almost wagged their tails and licked them. However, the man in front of her treated her as nothing, and he paid much attention to the wine and food on the table than her.

Han Jie's posture of holding the cup also solidified, and he looked at Gu Qing with a strange look.

Gu Qing said innocently: "Why do you suddenly look at me with admiration?"

Han Jie withdrew his gaze and coughed, "My eyes are not admirable, but... forget it, just be happy."

Gu Qing looked up at Huangfu Sisi: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Huangfu Sisi came back to her senses and tried to squeeze out a smile: "I...yes, I will leave, and the guest official can call me at any time if he needs it."

Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "My need is not to bother me, let me have a good meal."

Huangfu Sisi stared at Gu Qing's back, gave him a hateful look, bit his lower lip tightly, turned around and left.

Han Jie looked at Huangfu Sisi's back and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, is this woman good?"

"It's not bad. I should be considered the number one beauty in Kucha Town. Maybe there are some people who are better looking than her in the brothel. After all, I don't have enough knowledge..."

Han Jie said curiously: "The Marquis thinks she is very beautiful, why do you want to rush her to leave without slandering her?"

Gu Qing said in confusion: "If you don't drive her away, why don't you leave her here?"

"Didn't the Marquis realize that this woman wants to get to know you on the initiative?"

"So what? I came here to eat, not to make friends. Brother Han, you must be focused on your life and work, and don't be distracted, especially when eating is such an important thing, you can't be distracted."

Han Jie was so upset that this marquis had a very clear mind. He could not explore the inner world of the marquis at all. Are the ways of successful people in the world thinking about problems so different? So he was named a county marquis at the age of 20, and he is still a lieutenant.

Han Jie decided to seriously inquire about the brain circuits of successful people, and maybe he could gain something, and he might be able to be a marquis and generals in the future.

"The Marquis has not married. Even if he married, there is such a beautiful woman who comes to meet you on his own initiative. Why does the Marquis refuse to be thousands of miles away? Even if it is for the sake of eating, it will not delay making friends."

Gu Qingqian took a sip of wine and asked slowly, "Brother Han, I'll ask you, is that female shopkeeper a good woman?"

"It should be right, I'm a businessman who runs an inn."

“How long can we eat for a meal?”

"About...half an hour?"

Gu Qing nodded: "First of all, I can't marry this female shopkeeper as my wife. I want to marry someone else. Secondly, this is an inn, a place where I run a business, not a brothel, so I can't touch the good woman here just by wanting to. I can't be irresponsible after touching. In this short half hour, I was not sure to convince this woman to marry me as a concubine..."

Gu Qing paused for a moment and said slowly: "Then, tell me that in only half an hour, I can't touch and marry, why should I make friends with her? Why should I waste my time on this meaningless and fruitless thing?"

Han Jie was stunned and looked at Gu Qing as if he was stunned.

So, is this the real inner world of successful people? Why do I think this seemingly nonsense and bizarre statement makes sense and cannot be refuted at all?

Then Han Jie suddenly shuddered, as if he had found a logical loophole, and hurriedly said, "But just making friends is not a problem. Why did the Marquis refuse her so heartless?"

Gu Qing said again: "When eating, outsiders are whining around. When I meet such a person, I usually slap him in the face and make him shut up. I will never be interested in making friends with him. Making such long-winded friends will bring you a lot of troubles in your future life. I am a veteran, believe me."

Han Jie immediately pursed his lips and buried his head obediently in his meal.

Gu Qing smiled again: "If this naughty person has become friends with me, I won't mind. Don't worry, you can continue to naughty and not slap you."

When she left after checking out, Huangfu Sisi sent Gu Qing outside the inn. Her eyes were quite complicated. Gu Qing had no time to study the meaning of her eyes, so she turned around and left.

After Gu Qing left, Huangfu Sisi was still standing at the door of the inn, muttering with confusion: "What kind of person is this? Why do you think he is a little abnormal?"

It's so abnormal that no one can ignore her beauty, and even make her unable to come out in public.

"The emperor's life-savior is named the county marquis and appointed as deputy envoy of the Jiedu... Hey, it's interesting."

Huangfu Sisi's eyes were filled with coldness.

At that time, her father was also a prince and was appointed as a governor. The emperor issued an edict to destroy her family. The general's daughter now has to be controlled by others. Is this man named Gu Qing also an indiscriminate person like those officials in Chang'an who framed her father?

…………

The notice from the Anxi Jiedushi Mansion was posted all over the city the next day.

Kucha Town seemed to be poured with a spoonful of boiling oil, and it instantly boiled.

This is a typical notice of investment promotion. If later historians discover it from the remains, they will definitely be amazed.

Kucha Town expands the city and builds the city, and for the first time, it raised funds in the form of public offerings to build the city and builds the city.

Merchants are always fat, but merchants are also the most realistic type of people. They never spend unnecessary money. If they want to make them willing to pay the money, they have to give enough benefits, so great that they think they have taken advantage of the money, so that they can take it willingly.

Early in the morning, many merchants gathered spontaneously outside the Jiedushi's mansion and stood timidly from a distance. The mighty guards at the door made them dare not get close to half a step.

The crowds gathered more and more. In fact, there were not many residents in Kucha Town, and there were even more merchants coming and going than permanent residents. News of investment promotion quickly spread throughout the city. Within less than an hour of posting the notice, hundreds of merchants outside the Jiedu Mansion had gathered.

These merchants wore different clothes, half of which were fancy robes full of exotic characteristics from the Western Regions, and half of which were gorgeous silk shirts from the Tang Dynasty. They stood at the Jiedu Mansion and spoke in diplomatic terms, as if they were opposing each other to choose a prestigious person and went forward to ask for the Jiedu.

After a long time of failure, Gu Qing slowly walked out of the Jiedu Mansion.

Gu Qing has been wandering around Kucha Town all day these days. Many businessmen have seen him. Some are well-informed and already know his identity, while others don’t know him yet.

Gu Qing walked up to the merchants with a warm smile on his face. Han Jie next to him said loudly that this was the new deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, who was currently responsible for expanding and building a city. The notice was posted by him.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and then a businessman in his fifties who looked respectable was elected, stepped forward and took off his hat, bowed to Gu Qing, and said in a relatively stiff Tang Guanzhong dialect: "Old Huersong, from the Tochar Khanate, dare you ask Shangguan, is the notice posted in Kucha Town today true?"

Gu Qing held his arm with both hands and smiled and said, "The elders dare not take it. The notice is true, and this official can guarantee it."

Huersong's eyes flashed and said, "Kucha Town wants to expand the city and add a market. So after the market is completed, can the investors who invest in the capital choose shops first? Can the shops be less expensive?"

Gu Qing said: "The price of shops cannot be less. If you invest now, you can choose shops first. Everyone is a business person. You should know the importance of the location of the shop. Priority to choosing shops is the first-mover advantage given to the investor. As for the price of shops, it is a price that the government has already set. The money for selling shops will be used in the future to strengthen the city walls and improve the livelihood of Kucha Town, etc., so it cannot be missed."

"After the market is completed, can the government return the money we invested?"

"Of course, it can be repaid. The so-called fundraising is actually the government borrows money from all merchants. The money borrows naturally have to be repaid, but the interest is gone. Your interest is all based on the power to choose shops first. In the future, Kucha Town will become a link connecting the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty, and it is a pearl in the desert. Its geographical location will become more and more important, and its market will become more and more prosperous. It can occupy a foothold in this prosperous place in advance. You can measure the pros and cons of it yourself."

Huersong turned around and discussed with the merchants for a few words, and asked again: "Will this Shangguan choose more shops first by paying more money?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Yes, the money is 500 guan. For every 500 guan, you can choose a shop first. The more you pay, the more shops you can choose. If you invest 50,000 guan at one go, I will give you the entire street of the new market. Not only that, after the investor settles in the new market shop, the government will give you a preferential policy of 20 taxes within three years."

Huersong hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you count the words of Shangguan? Don't blame the old villain for being the heart of a villain. If the market is built and the government refuses to admit it, we and the merchants will be in great trouble."

Gu Qing said seriously: "I am the deputy envoy of the Anxi Jiedushi, or the county marquis named by His Majesty. My words are the words of the Tang Dynasty. I can make an oath to you here, and the words on the notice will be fulfilled, and there will be no lie."

Huersong was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, I will invest 3,000 yuan today! In the future, I will give priority to six shops!"

Huersong first made a statement, and the businessmen behind him were shocked, and then the crowd suddenly became boiling.

"I'll pay a thousand stakes!"

"I'll make five hundred stale!"

"I'll pay two thousand stakes!"

Gu Qing waved and ordered people to call out the civil servants in the mansion and record the investment figures of the merchants in turn.

When the crowd was in full swing, Gu Qing suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "Dear merchants to come to various countries. We welcome craftsmen with craftsmen from all countries to bring Kucha Town. In the future, Kucha Town will build a new workshop area outside the city for craftsmen to create craftsmen who are good at it. All gold, silver, needle spinning, lacquerware, etc. can come to Kucha Town to settle down, and the government will receive a lot of money to pay."

The crowd was stunned, and the businessman with a lively mind suddenly thought of something, and his face showed a look of enlightenment.

After saying that, Gu Qing turned around and returned to the Jiedu Mansion, with the smile on his face getting deeper and deeper.

A single business development is not enough. This important town in the northwest still needs to develop industry. With self-produced and self-sufficiency industries and with prosperous commerce, Kucha Town will surely become a city that countries in the Western Regions cannot ignore within three years.

After entering the mansion, Gu Qing met Feng Changqing head-on.

Feng Changqing looked cold and just greeted Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also smiled at him. Every time he saw him, he always felt that God was unfair. This guy's facial features were like Nuwa who was drunk and pinched a little man in order to work. It was enough to have hands and feet, so he pinched his facial features, so he looked like his facial features were shifted.

"Marquis Gu County, is it too inappropriate for the government to borrow money from merchants? The officials have been an official in Kucha Town for many years. Later, when they meet merchants, would they have to demote themselves, as if they owe the merchants debts?" Feng Changqing said in dissatisfaction.

Gu Qing was stunned and then laughed: "It's just a normal fundraising, how can it be inappropriate? The government is short of money, so it's a normal operation to second and turn over to the public."

Feng Changqing snorted coldly: "The officials have never heard of the precedent of borrowing money from private merchants. The Guxian Hou set a precedent. The officials would like to ask, what should I do if the money is not paid back in the future? What should I do if the merchant cannot collect the money back? What should I do if the Jiedushi's Mansion be blocked?"

"How could it not be paid? Four new markets are built, each of which has hundreds of shops. Not to mention the money for selling shops, the tax paid by merchants every year is not a decimal point. The money will be paid within two years after completion."

Feng Changqing shook his head: "Please forgive me for not understanding..."

Gu Qing gradually lost his patience and suddenly interrupted him: "If you can't understand, do what I say. You don't need to understand. In another half a year, you will know whether my actions are right or wrong."

Feng Changqing was so choked that he couldn't speak, staring at him blankly with a pair of fish eyes.

Gu Qing pointed at him with unsatisfactory intentions and said bluntly: "Judge Feng, you don't seem to understand your positioning, and you are also very rude to me. Do you don't understand the rules of superiors and inferiors?"

Feng Changqing suddenly woke up at this time. The young marquis in front of him seemed to have a bad temper. He heard that he had killed a governor with his own hands when he was in Chang'an. It was obvious that the marquis' temper was stimulated again at this moment.

So Feng Changqing hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's because the official was rude. The official just now was anxious..."

"No need to say anything about apologizing. I will write a review of 10,000 words tonight to me, and I will deeply reflect on my mistakes. 10,000 words, no word is missing!"

Feng Changqing was dumb: "What is the review...?"
