Chapter 114 Want to get a piece of the pie

"Master Chen wants to place an order in our shop?"

Facing Shopkeeper Ding's surprised eyes, Young Master Chen nodded indifferently, "Yes, our Chen family's grocery store has always sold salt, but the salt piled up in the store can't be sold now, so I want to sell it in the store. Bring some goods into your store."

Shopkeeper Ding noticed that the other party's eyes were not evasive, and he spoke with sincerity, he hesitated and said: "Master Chen should already know the rules in our shop, the snowflake salt in Lingnan can only be sold for ten cents a catty, you are here The goods in our shop are thirty cents a catty, how do you earn money? Or are you planning to sell them overseas?"

"Haha!" Young Master Chen laughed loudly: "The shopkeeper Ding is smart, and I like to deal with smart people. Although our Chen family is not as powerful as the aristocratic families in the Central Plains, we have a lot of family business. The Chen family is outside Lingnan. There are also many industries in the city, so you don't have to worry about sales, with my young master's credit guarantee, Snowflake Salt will never be sold in Lingnan."

Shopkeeper Ding didn't agree immediately, but took a sip of herbal tea. The bitterness in his mouth made him clear up a lot.

He put down the tea bowl, "The herbal tea from Lingnan is good. It can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also refresh the mind."

"Shopkeeper Ding, as long as he's used to drinking!" Eldest Young Master Chen looked at him with a smile, not at all anxious, as if he was sure in his heart that he would agree.

Shopkeeper Ding noticed his expression, seeing that the other party was as immovable as a mountain, he was filled with admiration. Sure enough, someone from a family was more calm than someone from a mud-legged one like him.

"As long as Young Master Chen can abide by the rules set by our concubine, everything is easy to talk about. To do business, you must welcome customers from all over the world, accept wealth from all directions, and refuse to do business if you come to your door. This is not Xia Ji's style. Of course, the most important thing is to fancy Chen. The young master's character, I hope you can do what you say, and don't let the princess down."

"Haha, let's wait and see!" Young Master Chen raised his hand and hugged him.

Shopkeeper Ding immediately stood up and bowed back, "We'll wait and see, sincere cooperation."

Young Master Chen is very satisfied with his attitude, he is a sensible person.

Afterwards, signing the contract and paying the advance payment went very smoothly. After sending them off, shopkeeper Ding shook his head and turned back to the shop.

Since the opening of the salt shop, it has become very popular in the whole city. It can be said that the people in the whole city have been checked out without any effort. It can be said that the household registration office in Fucheng is not as clear as the salt shop.

The news spread to the villages and towns below, and many people came to the shop to inquire, and Shopkeeper Ding reported the question to Xia Jing.

As a last resort, Ye Fei and his team members, who had just completed the household registration in Fucheng, were sent by Xia Jing to the towns below to continue the census.

The village is used as a unit, and small books are issued to each household. If you want to buy cheap snowflake salt in the future, you only need the small book.

Prince Qian has naturally been paying attention.

No, it should be said that the entire palace is paying attention.

"My lord, I have already sent someone to find out. The princess has set up a salt farm in Linhai Town. I don't know where she got the technology. She uses sea water to dry out snow-white snowflake salt. Now the people in the city eat it at home. Snowflake salt in the princess shop.

It can be said that since the opening of Wangfei's salt shop, the coarse salt in the whole city has been unsalable, to the point where no one cares about it.

Prince, tell me, do we need to invite the concubine to come over and discuss it? The whole family does not talk about each other, and they all eat from the same pot. She can't get rich without you not giving me some soup, right? "

Mr. Zhang felt that these words were shameless, and Tian was shameless, but there was nothing he could do. The prince managed Ruo Da's Lingnan, but there was no overnight food, so he didn't have the confidence.

Mr. Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Zhang, pursed his lips tightly and did not try to persuade him, he couldn't say the robber's logical words.

Prince Qian sat in the main seat with a dark face and didn't say a word. For a while, the people below couldn't figure out what he meant.
Mr. Zhang boldly said this, but did not get the approval of other people. He was in a cold moment for a while, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly: "Old Yan, what do you think?"

Mr. Yan was forced to say helplessly: "My lord, I heard that even the Chen family is looking for the concubine to cooperate. It seems like a big piece of fat."

Makes everyone want to come up and take a bite.

Mr. Zhang nodded, with a look of thinking about you: "Yes, it's a piece of fat, even the perverse young master of the Chen family asked her to cooperate, one can imagine how many forces will stare at the princess in the future.

The most important thing is that we have only been in Lingnan for a short time, many things cannot be seen clearly, and the clouds and fog surround us, and the minister is afraid that the princess will step into the pit. "

"Okay!" King Qian's face was irritated, he couldn't hear them chattering in his ears, he turned his head and told Anu: "Go and call the princess here, just say that the king has something to look for."

"Yes, I'm going right now, old slave." Anu glanced at them and retreated.

I just hope that the princess knows the intention of the prince, and just don't beat the prince with a whip.

When Xia Jing heard the message, she couldn't figure out why King Qian was looking for her for a while, and because Anu, the personal eunuch, personally invited her, so she followed to the study without delay.

Due to the hot weather today, Xia Jing did not wear an inner skirt and an outer robe to wrap her body in several layers like other women of this era.

She is wearing light riding clothes, simple, clean, capable and agile.

She sat down on the soft couch next to her, took a sip of the tea that Hongmei handed over, and sat there quietly waiting for them to speak.

King Qian sat in the main seat, and it was rare to sit upright today. If you look closely, you can find that he has lost some weight these days.

But even though he lost some weight, his whole body is still fat, and fat people are afraid of heat.

"The princess seems to be very busy these days, and I haven't seen your figure for a long time."

Xia Jing pursed her lips and smiled, and said honestly: "Is there any difference if you can see my figure? Your lord, you don't need company."

Red sleeves add fragrance, confidante, not to mention ten or hundreds, there are five or six.A man who is not lonely still wants her to accompany him, dreaming!

King Qian: "."

He took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Princess, is it because this king has neglected you?"

Xia Jing: "."

Thinking back to what she said just now, there was really no meaning other than telling the truth.

She rolled her eyes in her heart, and poured cold water on him on the spot, "I hope you don't be sentimental."

King Qian nodded with a good temper, "Oh, I understand."

Mr. Zhang caressed his forehead: "."

The topic is a bit off topic.

You and your wife don't have to flirt in front of their faces.

Xia Jing couldn't bear the look in his eyes that she thought was affectionate, so she pushed the teacup aside, "Come over to talk to me, I'm going back if I have nothing to do."

"Oh." King Qian seemed to remember the purpose of coming here, "I heard that the princess is busy with public affairs recently, and she seems to be enjoying it, so I thought of asking the princess to come over and discuss it, so we can make money together."

"To make money together?" Xia Jing rolled her eyes and knew what they were planning.

Smelly man, this concubine will listen to what you say about flowers today?

King Qian said confidently: "Yes, I heard that the princess has set up a salt farm in Linhai Town, and now the people in Fucheng eat all the salt from your shop. Make the saltworks bigger and stronger, and try to get most of the business in Yu Dynasty's cities within two years."

"I'm afraid you ate garlic early this morning, I'm afraid, your breath is quite loud!"

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, glanced at the two gentlemen, and said with a sneer: "I used to hear that high-ranking officials like to play with empty gloves and white wolves. I used to be young and naive and didn't believe it, but now I'm too old to let you go." I have increased my knowledge."

The two gentlemen started chatting, but now the old face of ridicule flushed.

King Qian didn't care about the faces of the two gentlemen, he said in disapproval: "Why is this king called an empty-handed white wolf, and the two of us will join hands to make you bigger and stronger so that you can make more money. Is there something wrong?"

Xia Jing didn't bother to talk to him, she didn't talk too much.

Seeing that Xia Jing turned her face to the other side, King Qian said shamelessly: "We are a husband and wife, what you earn is not my king's, and what this king earns is not yours. Don't be so fussy about your family, it's okay to care too much." It's not beautiful anymore."

Xia Jing laughed angrily at King Qian's shameless logic, "What I earn is yours, my mother solemnly declares to you today that what I earn is mine, and you robbers don't want to come and snatch it!"

King Qian: "No, what kind of robber."

Xia Jing interrupted him with a wave of her hand, and she snorted: "It is said that my mother is in charge of the inner courtyard, and all your money is mine, but my mother disdains your little money, so please don't worry about my pocket!"

Don't talk about King Qian, the shock in the hearts of the two gentlemen can't be expressed.

Looking at the princess's handling of affairs these days, the impression of the princess in their minds is that she is dignified, magnanimous, sensible, foresighted, and puts the overall situation first.

It's just that they didn't expect that she took money so seriously, which was beyond their expectations.

Mr. Zhang was afraid that the couple would quarrel again, so he had no choice but to say: "Princess, the overall situation is the most important thing in everything. I see that you have been building salt fields, lowering the price of salt, and sending troops to suppress bandits. Everything is for the sake of the people. You joined forces with the prince to better build Lingnan, why did you refuse?"

Xia Jing narrowed her eyes slightly and asked back: "Just because I saw my mother do a few practical things, you think I'm easy to bully?"

"This..." Mr. Zhang glanced at King Qian, then at Mr. Yan, and said something like a panacea, "You will be well when Lingnan is well!"

The importance of salt cannot be overstated.

I have my own Yantian in the fief, and I don't have to worry about being stuck in the neck.

From the very beginning, Xia Jing never thought of occupying Yantian by herself.

To be honest, with such a long coastline in Lingnan, countless salt fields can be built as long as you know how to do it, and it doesn’t matter if you teach them how to dry sea salt.

But she couldn't see King Qian's reasonable attitude, and they wanted to stand at the highest point of morality and kidnap her with morality, she couldn't bear it even more.

What is the most important thing is the overall situation, what Lingnan is good, she can be good.

Even if Lingnan is not good, she can still live a good life!

"Don't talk about big things with my old lady. You have to know that women play tricks. It's useless to care about your big reasons. If you want to get benefits, you have to pay. If you want to talk about cooperation with my old lady, you have to show sincerity!"

Mr. Zhang looked at King Qian.

The master and servant have a tacit understanding.

King Qian hesitated for a while, and asked directly, "Tell me what you want? Or what do you want from me?"

Xia Jing looked contemptuously, and said: "You should know that there is no free lunch in the world, and you can't let me give you technology or shares for free. If you pay, you will get rewards. I don't ask you to pay anything. In a word, I want to be free. !"

King Qian looked at her suspiciously, "Freedom?"

"For freedom!" Xia Jing thought about it in her heart, "absolute freedom of words and deeds, you can also see how backward and poor Lingnan is, I may often go out to do errands in the future, and I will also develop many industries in Lingnan, I hope the prince will not interfere !"

King Qian frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, "What if you broke the law?"

Xia Jing stared and emphasized: "My wife is a good person who abides by the law. Don't slander me! My conditions are here, and it's up to you whether you agree or not. If you want to own Yantian, you must agree to my conditions."

After all, she fanned the wind, the summer in Lingnan is really hot!

It doesn't snow here in winter, and it's so hot in summer that you can't even use ice to cool down.

King Qian felt aggrieved when he received the expectant eyes from the two gentlemen.

He took the wet handkerchief from Anu's hand and wiped it on his face and neck before he reluctantly promised: "Okay, I will give you freedom, so you can travel freely and do things freely in the future, okay?"

Satisfied, Xia Jing stood up and rubbed the ink for him with her own hands, "Empty words have no proof, let's use words as evidence!"

King Qian raised his head in shock, and said in embarrassment: "This king keeps his word, yet you doubt his character?"

"With the emperor here, how can you keep your promise?" Xia Jing handed him the wolf hair, "Come, write down the promise you just made, and then stamp it with your private seal."

King Qian hesitated, can he go back on his word?

Xia Jing seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts, and added further anger, "As long as you write this letter of commitment, you will be able to own the ever-prosperous Yantian. This deal only earns but not loses."

King Qian glared at her and snatched the hair from the wolf, "In your eyes, a husband and wife can also make a deal. You have no conscience. Bai has treated you well all these years."

Xia Jing just smiled and said nothing, a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost, if she believes in a man's words, she will be the one who cheated her to death in the end.

Having a father and a mother is not as good as having one yourself.

Something can only be confident if you hold it in your own hands.

She is not a boudoir who has experienced the poison of scriptures in this era, and she doesn't have so much emotion wasted in sentimentality.

King Qian noticed that there was no flinch in her eyes, and he became angry for a moment, stained with ink, brushed and brushed, and a letter of commitment was completed in one go!
Throw away the wolf hair, and finally stamp your private seal!
Xia Jing lowered her head and caught a glimpse of a little ink splashed on her sleeve, she picked up the letter of commitment and blew on it nonchalantly.

Wait until the handwriting is dry before folding it, and smiled: "Hongmei, hand over the salt drying method I prepared to the lord, and we will get both money and goods."

King Qian was stunned when he heard this, and took the paper, "You don't want to give me a dividend?"

Xia Jing raised her chin, "Isn't this giving you money? With this method, you can own your own salt field, so why do you have to join me?"

"If you're thinking of just taking money and not doing anything, I don't think you should daydream. If you want to make money, go do it yourself!"

Xia Jing's expression, as if she was afraid that he would take advantage of her, made King Qian so angry that he really wanted to snatch the promise and tear it up, so as not to do what she wanted, but he was so angry that his liver hurt!

He gritted his teeth and warned: "Xia Shi, don't get carried away!"
