Chapter 53: The Rules of the Industry and the Rules of the Industry (Part 2)
Early in the morning, in the southern corner of Yixing.
The old man strolled the one hand and held the other hand, strolling in front of the alleyways. There were rows of houses in the alleys. Some of these houses had signs, which looked like shops; some had no signs, but there were chimneys, and there were wood, stone, earth, and sand piled in front of the door, which looked like workshops.
Although each store covers a different size, it is arranged in a row in a very regular manner, as if it had been discussed in advance. The distances between each store are roughly the same. Not only that, if you look closely, you will find that the goods sold by the shops in the same row are the same, such as the paper and pen shops in a row, the cloth shops in a row, the stone making shops in a row, and the carpenter shops in a row.
In this way, shops and workshops formed alleys.
To count carefully, there are 26 alleys here, representing 26 roads in Yixing, and this is the market in Yixing.
At this time, the sky was getting bright, and there was a man like an old man standing in front of each alley. They were old or young, and there were only three alleys that were empty in front of them and there were no people standing.
And the one that depends on the inside has only 3 houses, no signs, it seems to be a workshop.
The so-called industry has rules and business rules. If you want to do business in Yixing, you must enter the industry. These people who hold Luo practice each one, called "action". After the market opens in Yixing every day, they will stand in front of the alleys in each walk, knock it hard, and tell their peers that their livelihood has begun again.
This was not a ritual activity, but a rule for a hundred years. At this moment, each party looked up at the sky and knocked down the gongs in his hands. The old man also raised his fingers and knocked them down. However, unlike the other ones, she finished knocking, and then walked to another party.
After knocking on the three lines, I gave up. These three lines are the soap ball industry with only three workshops, the brocade industry with a total of 16 workshops, and the garment industry with a total of 8 shops. This old man actually played the three lines, which is a strange thing.
Soon, workers and bosses from all walks of life began to clean up their shops, tools and start business.
After the old man beat it, a young man behind him came forward and carefully took the gong from his hand, supported him and said, "Oncestor, let's go home."
The old man smiled and said, "This Luo is a matter of the official family. Be careful to take it. If it is broken, it will be in prison."
The young man followed and said, "I understand, ancestor, let's go home quickly."
The old man shook his head and said, "Why haven't your father come yet?"
The young man said, "Don't worry, Dad will arrive soon, let me accompany you back first."
It was the middle of winter, and the weather was cold and the young man was afraid that the old man would get cold. We need to know that his ancestor was a hundred years old.
The grandparents and grandsons were about to leave, but they saw a carriage coming from the bridge. The old man's eyes were turbid and he couldn't see the nearby objects clearly, but he could see the distant objects in real life.
In addition to a servant driving the carriage, there was also an old man in his sixties sitting outside the carriage. Two women poked their heads out. The old man outside the carriage was pointing at the bridge and was walking down the market, as if introducing the place to them.
One of the women had a strange look on their faces. After listening for a while, he smiled and said a few words to the woman beside him, while the other woman remained silent, as if she was very shocked to look at the scene of the city.
This group of people was Su Yanger, Xiaoling and Lao Wang. Su Yanger poked half of her head. While listening to Lao Wang's introduction to the market, she looked at the neatly planned workshops and shops, and she was shocked to imagine.
"Don't you just buy a place in the novel and open a store? Why is it so troublesome..."
At this moment, Su Yanger felt dizzy. She never expected that it would be so troublesome to do a business.
The complexity of the "Business Administration Law" in the Song Dynasty was far from her imagination. When she heard Lao Wang mention entering the industry, she couldn't help but think of the "business license" of later generations.
I just heard Lao Wang say: "There are rules in the industry and rules in the industry. Whether it is a workshop or a business, you must follow the rules."
"One of the things you need is to pray for, and the promise is to agree to you to enter the industry before you can enter the industry, otherwise you will be an outsider."
"Yang'er, your father is Shangluban and Twister Tours in Tangyin County."
Su Yanger was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but grit her teeth and asked, "Is there anyone who doesn't enter the industry to do business?"
"Don't enter the industry?" Lao Wang pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "There are also, it's very difficult. Foreign business transactions are probably not possible."
...
The old man saw Su Yanger and his group's carriage from far to near, and said to the young man beside him: "Our relative is here."
"Relative?" The young man was wondering why the old man suddenly stopped leaving, and he was even more puzzled when he heard this.
Until the carriage approached, Lao Wang saw the old man in the carriage and hurriedly ordered the carriage to stop.
Lao Wang jumped out of the car and said in surprise: "Uncle San, why are you here too?"
It turned out that this old man was Su Weng who had visited when the Su family first arrived in Yixing.
Lao Wang said as he looked at the young man behind Su Weng. When he saw the gong in his hand, he suddenly realized.
Su Wengze smiled and said, "Is Xiao Yang'er here too?"
"Yang'er?" The young man's expression changed when he heard the name, and hurriedly hid behind Weng Su and lowered his head.
At this time, Su Yanger and Xiaoling also walked out of the carriage. They were condescending and were stunned when they saw Su Weng, but when they looked at the young man hiding behind him, their eyes changed, and the two women said in unison: "It's you!"
"Oh no!" The young man's expression suddenly changed drastically when he heard the voice.
"Have you seen it?"
Weng Su pulled the young man behind him to his back and introduced: "This is the little baby from the third family, Su Qianyi."
"Qianyi, this is your Uncle Wang, this is Yang'er. According to seniority, you should call her niece."
Seeing that Su Qianyi had no choice but to avoid it, he simply raised his head and said, "Qianyi has seen Uncle Wang, and... the little niece."
Weng Su raised his crutch and poked him gently, saying, "You should call her Yang'er."
At this time, Xiaoling wanted to speak, but Su Yang'er stopped her and said to Su Qianyi with a slight blessing: "Yang'er has seen uncle..."
Seeing that they didn't expose him, Su Qianyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But when Lao Wang and Weng Su were greeting each other and told each other about their purpose, Su Yanger took the opportunity to walk to him, dragged his voice to him, and said quietly: "Dong Lang...Do your neck still hurt?"
It turned out that Su Qianyi was a fake blind man who pretended to be blind yesterday but was beaten by 6 Jingyuan and fled in a panic!
"Dong Lang... It turns out that you are my uncle. Do you think your niece is beautiful?"
