In a blink of an eye, five or six days passed.
The porridge shed in Guangde Square has become the most lively place in Chang'an City. Every day, there are countless victims and refugees who come to get porridge, and even Chang'an people who take advantage of it. Guangde Square is surrounded by water every day, and His Highness King Qi's His reputation quickly turned from negative to positive, and such a righteous act gained Li Youping countless fans...
However, at the same time, the supermarket's losses continued.
Over the past few days, Li You and Yin Hongzhi were almost losing their hair with worry. They even resorted to the last resort trick of cutting prices, but they still couldn't improve the supermarket's profits.
Seeing the fresh goods that would inevitably rot even if they were placed in the ice cellar, they had to be pulled out of the city one by one and thrown away, causing looting by the victims and refugees. His Highness the King of Qi looked at the sky speechlessly, and could only shed a thousand lines of tears...
what's going on?
Why doesn’t anyone come to the supermarket to spend money shopping?
Li You couldn't figure it out.
It can be called the supermarket with the most comprehensive variety of hundreds of specialties from all over the world, but it can't even compare with the Hu merchant in the West Market who sells sheepskins from beyond the Great Wall. How is this possible?
The most irritating thing is that those members of the royal family and noble families who greeted the supermarket before it opened promised to come to support them, but in the end they didn't even look at it... Are you kidding me?
He returned to the palace listlessly, drove away all the maids who came to wait on him to bathe and change clothes, and sat alone in the study in a daze.
There was a jingle at the door, and the sound of light footsteps came.
Li You just drooped his eyelids and didn't even raise his head.
Princess Wei of Qi wore a splendid palace dress, her black hair was neatly tied behind her head, and the golden phoenix hairpin on her head swayed gently as she moved lightly, which made her skin look better than snow, and her eyebrows were picturesque. The gentleness and quietness of a lady.
Putting a white jade tea cup gently on the table in front of Li You, Princess Qi said softly: "Your Majesty, I personally brewed the tea for you. Take a few sips to quench your thirst. Dinner will be here later."
Li You raised his eyelids slightly and snorted, but he didn't move.
Princess Qi's expression dimmed slightly, she bit her lips and sighed softly: "The prince is unhappy, and I naturally know it, but as the old saying goes, the water thrown by the married daughter, even though I am a princess, I can't. Once family interests are involved, how can the family support us without any scruples and ignore the danger?"
Li You spoke in Wenyan, suddenly opened his eyes, and said angrily: "Fart! So-and-so is a dignified prince, how can it be dangerous to stand with so-and-so? Besides, so-and-so is not the legitimate heir, but just a supermarket for your Wei family to take care of. Why is it dangerous?"
None of the royal family members who agreed to come to help the supermarket came, which made Li You jealous and angry. The most annoying thing is naturally because of the Wei family. It’s fine if other families don’t come. Li You is the son-in-law of your Wei family. Are you still a bit distant?
When you are using the king's name to gain profits in the court, you are extremely flattering to me, your son-in-law!
Princess Qi's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes lowered, she fanned her long eyelashes a few times, stopped the rising water vapor, and said softly: "The Wei family also has difficulties... In the afternoon, I will go back to see you. I talked to my father and several elders in the clan and talked about the prince's current difficulties and hoped that the family could help him more. But my father said... Because of the incident of reselling food last time, Fang Jun was very angry with the Wei family and usually stayed away from him. She stayed away from Fang Jun, lest he get angry and ignore him... It's not that the Wei family didn't want to help the prince, it was just that the prince stole the supermarket method from Fang Jun. If he openly helped the prince, Fang Jun would be angered. But what is the best way to survive?"
As husband and wife, how could she remain indifferent to Li Youyi's predicament?
However, as a woman, she had no other choice but to beg her natal family to lend a helping hand. Unfortunately, the Wei family was afraid of Fang Jun to death. Not to mention that the family did not dare to say anything, even Concubine Wei in the palace did not dare to come forward. A few words of warning to Fang Jun?
Li You felt an evil fire burning in his chest, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood!
Could it be that Fang Jun is a demon with three heads and six arms, fearful of ghosts and worried about others?
If you think about it carefully, it's really...
At least he doesn't even dare to see Fang Jun now. Every time he sees Fang Jun, he always takes a long detour.
But now that I am in trouble, how can I get out of it?
If you let the supermarket continue to lose money, even if you have a golden mountain, you will lose all the money in a year and a half; if you sell it again, there will be no fool willing to accept this mess. It's even worse to close down the business. His Majesty, Li You, the King of Qi, can he start a business and end up closing down at a loss?
I can't afford to lose that face...
When Princess Qi saw that Li You was not angry, she calmed down and said softly: "How about... the prince goes to Fang Jun to beg for mercy and ask him to come up with a solution? I have heard that Fang Jun is the famous God of Wealth. For He is extremely proficient in the art of commodity farming, and he originally came up with the method for this supermarket. Maybe he really has a method. Moreover, wasn't the relationship between the prince and Fang Jun very good before? Although the prince is wrong this time, you are still a prince after all. I expect Fang Jun will not care about your face at all..."
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. Fang Junjing, a businessman who is regarded as a god, may have a clever strategy to turn things around.
I have to say that Princess Qi's strategy is still very insightful.
But Li You looked ugly...
Go and ask Fang Jun?
Haha, what's the difference between that and looking for a beating?
He robbed Fang Jun's business, and then encouraged his father to suppress him. Although Fang Jun didn't say a word at this moment, you can imagine the annoyance in his heart, especially the stick without anger? It's just that because of my father's face, I didn't dare to go too far.
If he came to ask for help, Fang Jun would probably think that he was taking advantage and being a good boy, and he would be damned if he didn't give himself a good beating!
How is that different from sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth?
But if you don't ask Fang Jun, how can you solve this current dilemma?
Li You thought about it and was constantly entangled...
Princess Qi gently gathered her skirt and sat down on the seat next to Li You. She placed her delicate hands on the back of Li You's hand. She blinked slightly and offered advice: "Since the prince doesn't want to beg Fang Jun... why not find another way?"
Li You was stunned: "What does the princess mean by this?"
Princess Qi smiled softly, gently and gracefully, and said: "If the prince doesn't want to go by himself, you can find someone else to plead with Fang Jun. After all, he is also the prince's brother-in-law. Even if he doesn't sell the prince's face, how can the other princes Don’t you even want to sell the princess’ face?”
Li You was overjoyed, it makes sense!
But in an instant, he fell into entanglement again...
"It's hard to find this candidate... When Fang Jun talked about the idea of this supermarket, he was talking to the prince. Now that the king has snatched this business away, the prince has never said anything, but he has always been dissatisfied in his heart. It is inevitable that I refuse to speak up for me. The third brother is on good terms with Fang Jun, but the third brother is too upright. This king has wronged me first, so how can he go to Fang Jun for me? The king of Wei is not in Guanzhong, and the king of Jin is Shang. Among the sisters in confinement, I originally had a very good relationship with Gao Yang, but now Gao Yang has become Fang Jun's wife. If I don't scold me along with Fang Jun, even if I take care of the brother-sister relationship, how can you help me?"
After counting again and again, Li You sadly discovered that he was so unpopular? Among the brothers and sisters, no one can intercede with Fang Jun on his behalf...
Princess Qi glared at Li You charmingly and said angrily: "You, you, you are so confused. Even if the prince and King Wu are willing to talk, with Fang Jun's temper, I don't think it will be a big deal for me. He gets angry and gets sick, but no one recognizes him! But if someone is willing to speak for the prince, Fang Jun will definitely be obedient."
Li Youqi said: "How come I don't know that there is such a person? You don't mean Sizi, do you? No, no, that little girl is the closest to Fang Jun. She usually has a brother-in-law who is older than her brother-in-law, and there are many sons-in-law of the father and emperor. You Have you ever seen her call that person so affectionate? Girls are outgoing, so maybe that girl is angry that I stole Fang Jun’s business, so she definitely won’t speak up for me.”
"Your Majesty is really confused. I don't mean Princess Jinyang, but Princess Changle."
"Changle?"
Li You was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and stood up and said: "The princess is really my son Fangye... Ahem, this is really a brilliant idea. I will enter the palace now and ask Changle to go to Fang Jun to ask for help from my king." A way to make a profit! Haha!”
Why didn't I think of that?
Although the relationship between Chang Le and Fang Jun was not as bad as outside rumors, from Li You's point of view, the mutual admiration between the two people was probably inevitable. Even if Fang Jun could evade the prince and the king of Wu, how could he reject a confidante?
As for whether Changle will do this, there is no need to worry.
Among all the brothers and sisters, Chang Le is the one who loves and cares about family ties the most. As long as he sheds tears and looks pitiful, Chang Le will not be able to bear it...
