"princess."
"sit!"
Xia Jing walked to the main seat and sat down.
"There are currently two squadrons stationed in Linhai Town. The eight squadrons stationed in the city haven't stopped training these days, right?"
Ding Dazhuang sat at the bottom and replied: "Huangfei, I train according to the plan every day, please rest assured."
Xia Jing nodded, "Leave two teams to guard the prisoners and open up wasteland, and another team to be in charge of security in the city. The other five teams are headed by you. You lead them to the area north of Fucheng to suppress bandits. There are obstacles on the post road. Are you confident to complete this task?"
"Of order, this subordinate will return victorious with his brothers." Ding Dazhuang grinned.
Since Xia Jing took them to suppress the bandits last time, knowing that the bandit dens are a treasure house, she has long been itching to bring in a few more bandit dens.
How could he not be happy if he got the chance this time?
just
"Princess, is your safety?"
"Don't worry about my personal safety. Isn't there still 100 people left in the city? I won't be going out of the city during this time."
"Then my subordinates can rest assured." Ding Dazhuang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"Okay, you go and make arrangements, call Ye Fei over for me, I have something to arrange for him."
Xia Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip. Ye Fei was one of the guard squadron leaders and the person in charge of Xia Jing's security.
On the way back to the small courtyard, Hongmei asked: "Princess, do you want to open up the trade route from Lingnan to Jingzhou?"
Xia Jing glanced back at her, "Little girl is very smart, she can guess my intention."
Hongmei blushed slightly, and smiled, "Princess, you teach well."
Xia Jing laughed when she heard the words, "You have also seen the current situation in Lingnan. Everything is lagging behind. If I don't save it, how will my retirement life be peaceful in the future?"
Hongmei pursed her lips, "The masters are very filial to you, so don't worry, princess."
Xia Jing smiled. If she wants to live comfortably in her later years, the most important thing is to have power, otherwise it will be difficult to live a happy life in the back house.
But this is for the future, there is no need to argue with the girl.
"When Ye Fei comes, you take him directly to the courtyard."
On the way from the small courtyard to the flower hall, I sweated a lot. The hot weather in Lingnan is really uncomfortable.
"Ok."
It has been an hour since Ye Fei arrived, and it was only known that he took the team to a training camp outside the city.
"Actually, the weather here is too hot, so you don't have to train so hard. After all, your body needs to adapt."
Seeing that Ye Fei was sweating profusely because he was in such a hurry, Xia Jing asked Hongmei to bring over a cup of iced mung bean soup.
Ye Fei thanked her, took the mung bean soup in her hand, and drank several sips before he felt that the heat in his body had been extinguished a lot.
He wiped his mouth and said: "Our skills are not comparable to the prince's bodyguards, how can we protect you if we don't work hard."
Xia Jing: "."
Fine.
It seems that she can't stop others from trying.
She raised her eyebrows and changed the subject: "In the past few days, you have led your team to assist Ding Daqiang's work, and printed special small books, so that people who want to buy refined salt can bring their household registration and register by household. All salt must be registered and stamped in the book.”
Ye Fei tapped the table lightly, pondered for a while, and asked, "Princess, are you afraid that someone will buy and sell and take the opportunity to make money?"
Xia Jing nodded with a smile: "With this consideration in mind, register well, and the benefits will be gradually reflected in the future."
Ye Fei couldn't think of any other benefits for a while, so he responded straightforwardly, "Princess, please rest assured, my subordinates will assist Shopkeeper Ding in this matter."
After receiving Xia Jing's order, Ding Dazhuang made preparations when he returned home, and within two days he led the team out of the North City Gate and embarked on the road to suppress the bandits.
In addition to arranging personal guards to be responsible for Xia Jing's safety, Ye Fei also started to assist Ding Daqiang in the registration of salt shop customers.
The business in the shop is still in short supply every day. In order to complete the task assigned by Xia Jing, Ding Daqiang can only limit the supply every day.
This greatly reduces the crowding phenomenon of personnel.
There are more than 400 people queuing up every day, even if you queue up, it is useless.
The flow of people in the shop was controlled, and many discerning businessmen came to the shop.
Shopkeeper Ding got Xia Jing's order that all salt merchants who were going to other places buy salt at the shop for Wen a catty.
The foreign businessman thought he had heard it wrong. The common people in the shop only bought ten yuan a catty, so why did they need thirty yuan a catty for a large quantity?
"Princess Qian wants to make money and wants to go crazy!"
"Please be careful, if our concubine sees someone who is open to money, she will not sell it to the common people for ten cents a catty."
"If she doesn't want money and wants to be crazy, how can she sell it to the common people for ten yuan, but we need thirty yuan for a large quantity?"
The merchant was completely unconvinced, and his heart was full of anger. If the other party was not of high status, he really wanted to jump up and scold his mother.
"Ten cents a catty is only for the local people in Lingnan. If it is a merchant from other places, it will be thirty cents a catty, no matter how much it is. You don't want to think about the fact that the salt with a lot of impurities in the past was fifty cents a catty, which was eaten by dignitaries. Refined salt is more expensive."
Shopkeeper Ding pointed to the snow-white refined salt in his shop, "We have nothing to say about the quality or appearance of our salt. I dare say that when you ship it back, the price will only be higher, and the supply will exceed the demand. You will be overwhelmed!"
Ugh!
At the beginning of the business, we can only ensure that the local people can eat affordable refined salt, and other regions can only make a fortune from the rich for the time being.
In this way, the problem of financial constraints can be alleviated.
Moreover, the price they gave was better than the official refined salt, so they still made a lot of money by shipping it back.
The concubine has already given up the profit, so a person can't push his feet and be greedy.
"."
Talk about collapse!
The merchant flung his sleeves and left.
On the second day, there were many people who repeatedly bought salt at the entrance of the salt shop.
The clerk found this situation, returned the small book to the customer, and refused to sell salt with a smile: "You came to the store yesterday and bought two catties of refined salt, calculated according to the five members of your family, two catties of salt can be enough for you to eat for two months.
So you have already bought all the shares for the next two months. If you want to buy more, you can only pay cents per catty. Would you like to buy more? "
The service attitude was impeccable, and the people who bought the salt felt guilty, so they took the salt books and left the shop in embarrassment.
Shopkeeper Li from the snack bar next door came to watch the excitement. Seeing the scene, he asked the waiter, "So this small book is still useful? How about opening a shop like me?"
The clerk smiled and explained: "If you come here to register with your household registration, you will be allocated shares according to your family members. If you have registered with your tax certificate, then you will be allocated shares according to the number of customers in your store."
Shopkeeper Li asked again: "Then why do you have to pay Wen for more than the quota?"
The man glanced at the people in line and saw that they all had their ears up.
He even took the trouble to explain: "How can there be such a good thing in the world with such snow-white salt for ten cents a catty?
Only our concubine has a kind heart. When I first came to Lingnan and saw that people’s lives were not easy, I thought of this measure of benefiting the people. The snowflake salt for ten cents per catty is a benefit that the concubine gives to everyone. For the time being, we are the only ones who can enjoy this benefit. The people of Lingnan. "
"But think about it, the production process of such snow-white salt must be cumbersome, and the cost must not be low. Since salt is produced and sold, it must be profitable. Otherwise, how will this shop continue to operate?"
"Salt workers, venues, shops, and clerks all need money. Merchants from other places sell salt at a price of yuan a catty."
"The princess just wants to make back the cost so that the salt shop can continue to operate, so that we Lingnan people can continue to eat ten yuan a catty of snowflake salt in the future, instead of the extremely expensive low-quality salt."
Shopkeeper Li suddenly realized, slapped his hands, and said loudly: "The princess is benevolent!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to the common people queuing up to buy salt and said, "If any of you want to buy or sell salt, I think you should give up as soon as possible and stop queuing here, it will be useless. Damn it!"
When shopkeeper Li returned to the snack bar next door, many people in the salt buying team sneaked away.
It can be seen that these people are entrusted by others to come here to fish in troubled waters.
Just pretend you didn't see it, dude!
Two days later, another convoy entered the Nancheng Gate, still led by Fang Ji.
The snowflake salt brought back this time was twice as much as the last time. Shopkeeper Ding smiled when he saw the number of carriages.
"The square team has worked hard all the way, please take the brothers and drive the carriage to the backyard to unload the goods."
Fang Ji patted the goods on the carriage, "Master Ding, this time I brought twice as much salt. The princess said that if you can't eat half of it, I will distribute the goods to the surrounding counties."
"This..." Shopkeeper Ding hesitated for a while, and said, "Please drive the carriage to the backyard first, I'm going to discuss this matter with the princess."
Fang Ji nodded, and didn't make things difficult for him. He turned around and told his brothers to drive the carriage to the backyard.
The merchants who had been watching outside the shop couldn't sit still when they saw the convoy turning from the end of the road into the alley in the backyard.
If the snowflake salt was transported to the county town, wouldn't they be wasting their time here?
How does that work?
With just this little salt, they could eat it all by themselves.
Good salt is easy to sell!
Shopkeeper Ding made some preparations, but before he left the shop, he was stopped by several merchants.
"Shopkeeper, where are you going? I'm here for business, so I'll take care of anything later."
The merchants took shopkeeper Ding in with a tacit understanding.
Shopkeeper Ding was taken aback, and wanted to break free from their hold, "Hey, what do you want to do? What's the matter? I'll talk about it when I come back. The princess is still waiting for me to answer."
"Treasurer Ding, don't worry about answering, let's talk about business first, let's talk about business first."
Shopkeeper Ding snorted coldly, "It's too difficult to do business with you, and I can't make a decision. I think you should not delay my business."
After all, he still wanted to struggle, but was held tightly by several merchants, and he couldn't escape.
The clerk watched shopkeeper Ding being dragged up to the second floor by several merchants, "I can't help it, I hope I can help myself."
I don't know if you are talking about merchants or shopkeepers?
After half an hour, several people came out from the second floor.
Several merchants came out of the salt shop contentedly after they had achieved their goals, and shopkeeper Ding, who was walking at the end, went downstairs with a smile in his arms, holding a wooden box.
"Shopkeeper, are you done?" The man leaned over and asked.
Shopkeeper Ding patted the wooden box, and praised: "It's still you who have more ideas, this is a good move!"
Through a few words deliberately spoken between him and Captain Fang, the group of foreign businessmen were dealt with.
Sometimes it's really easy to use the right method to get things done.
Their snowflake salt wants to open the Central Plains market, and the cooperation with this group of merchants is very important.
Shopkeeper Ding saw that they were just waiting and watching without making a decision, and his mouth was already frothing with anxiety.
Unexpectedly, this kid came up with an idea and helped him solve the urgent task.
As long as there is cooperation with these merchants, they can attract more merchants after making money.
In the future business contacts in Lingnan, snowflake salt will be the main specialty of Lingnan.
Shopkeeper Ding went back to the backyard with the box in his arms, Fang Ji had already taken all the brothers to unload all the salt into the warehouse.
At the moment they are sitting in the living room drinking tea and resting.
Seeing shopkeeper Ding coming in, Fang Ji put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Treasurer Ding got his wish this time?"
Shopkeeper Ding laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Thanks to Captain Fang's willingness to cooperate with me, otherwise the progress would not be so smooth. Those old foxes will not scatter eagles when they see a rabbit. They can't help it."
"How many orders were placed?"
Shopkeeper Ding sat down and patted the box, "5000 taels of silver, the payment for the goods and the advance payment for the next batch of goods."
Fang Ji shook his head: "These people are really hard to deal with. Seeing Qian's eyes open, and smelling the smell, they are eager to let go. However, this is what the princess wants to see."
Shopkeeper Ding nodded: "The princess wants to open up business routes, so she will definitely have to put in a lot of effort. Only when the trade in Lingnan is prosperous can the tax increase accordingly. Otherwise, if it is the same as before, the business in Lingnan will definitely not be alive."
Fang Ji was moved by emotion, and said with emotion: "The princess is far-sighted, and her vision is farther than ours. She planned for Lingnan, and she worked hard with good intentions."
The merchants stayed in Fucheng for an extra ten days, and when the third batch of Snowflake Salt came back, they got the amount they wanted, and followed the caravan out of the North City Gate contentedly.
In a restaurant not far from the North City Gate.
Tong Song looked at the caravan that had disappeared, "They used to be our customers, but now they are also the customers of the princess. How long do you think they will become the customers of the princess alone?"
Young Master Chen put away his fan and knocked on the table, "Young Master Tong, I think you are completely unfounded. I don't believe that the princess can hold all the goods in the world in her arms. There is always a leak between her fingers so I can drink some soup later.
Besides, Lingnan is not her world alone!
Tong, Lou, and Chen are not vegetarians either! "
If you are a smart superior, you will not compete with the people for profit. Prosperity in commerce and trade is not one of the best, but a hundred schools of thought.
Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom.
Tong Songruo glanced at him meaningfully, "In short, the world in Lingnan is no longer divided between our three families, everyone, please be careful in the future."
First Young Master Chen curled his lips inwardly, disapproving.
As long as the Chen family obeyed the law, he believed that the Qian Palace would not be able to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
However, after observing these days, Princess Qian should not be underestimated!
The two parted unhappily.
After Tong Song left, the young servant of the Chen family asked, "Master, shall we go home or?"
Young Master Chen shook his head: "Go to Xiaji Salt Shop." After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage first.
"what?"
The boy's heart skipped a beat, "Master, shall we go to the salt shop?"
"En." The carriage responded lightly.
The boy confirmed that he heard correctly, and then let the coachman drive.
"Young master, the salt shop is our enemy, so we can't sell the salt in our grocery store. What are you doing there?"
Young Master Chen glanced at him with the eyes of a fool, and said as a matter of course: "Nowadays, the salt in the grocery store is not easy to sell, so we don't buy this kind of salt. The queen's snowflake salt is easy to sell, so we buy their salt , Seeing that there is money to make but not action, isn't that what a fool does?"
