"I know how to do a lot, how can I show it all?"
Ying Feiyu raised his eyebrows at her with a wicked smile.
"Why not?"
Zhang Xi asked with a puzzled face.
"Xi'er...!"
However, Zhang Jia blushed and quietly tugged on his sister's clothes to tell her not to ask any more questions.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with asking my husband to prepare delicious food for us?"
Zhang Xi was young and very innocent, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
"Ouch! My husband will do it for you in the future, don't worry!"
Zhang Jia didn't know how to explain it, so he could only persuade her not to stop at this issue.
"Oh well!"
Zhang Xi reluctantly agreed.
"Your Highness, what do you think of opening a stinky tofu shop?"
Ever since Queen Jingjue took over the store, she has been looking out for business opportunities everywhere.
Originally, I came here today to open milk tea shop branches in other counties, but I didn't expect that I would get even greater business opportunities!
Stinky tofu is an exclusive secret recipe. Once it becomes popular, others cannot copy it even if they want to!
"good!"
"It's best to open the stinky tofu shop tomorrow!"
"Yes! When the time comes, we will all go to support it...!"
Before Ying Feiyu could speak, the rough voices of Wang Ben and others could be heard outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, the veterans walked in one by one with smiles on their faces!
"Father-in-law, several ministers, shouldn't you be waiting for the stinky tofu in the kitchen? Why are you here?"
Ying Feiyu asked with a smile.
"Oh! Forget it, there are more wolves and less meat!"
Wang Ben shook his head helplessly.
"Yes! Just a few pieces of tofu are not enough!"
Zhang Han smacked his lips, as if he was still thinking about it.
"Your Highness, you should hurry up and open more shops! You have lured all our greedy people out, and they will be gone before we can get enough of them!"
"No! I just got two pieces and they're gone!"
"Fortunately, I got three pieces. Poor cooks, they worked under the hot pot for a long time and didn't even taste a piece...!"
Several other old guys also spoke one after another.
Ying Feiyu thought about it. Although there was still a lot of tofu, all three thousand Flying Eagles were attracted by the smell. Even if there were twice as much tofu, it wouldn't be enough!
"The two or three slices you have tasted are already quite a lot. I guess there are still quite a few that you haven't tasted, right?"
The kitchen is not too big, and those soldiers lined up at the back can't squeeze in, and probably won't be able to grab a piece.
"That's for sure! That's why we said, let's open the store as soon as possible. Then we will have a great time eating!"
Just a few pieces of stinky tofu are not enough for seasoned consumers to stuff their teeth.
"Haha! That's okay!"
Ying Feiyu nodded slightly reluctantly.
If it weren't for Queen Jingjue's enthusiastic suggestion and the urging of the veterans, he really wouldn't have planned to open this stinky tofu shop!
"Great, I will go look for a store early tomorrow morning and open one first to see the effect! If the business is good, we will discuss branching out later!"
Seeing him nod, Queen Jingjue's eyes immediately lit up.
"Well! You don't have to think about the branch!"
However, Ying Feiyu's words made her very puzzled.
"Why?"
His Royal Highness the Prince proposed the branch of the milk tea shop. Why does the stinky tofu shop not need to open a branch?
Don't you make any money?
"Because this prince decided to build a commercial city!"
This is indeed the decision that Ying Feiyu made just now.
Nowadays, there are more and more businesses on hand, but there are fewer and fewer suitable shops in Xianyang City.
Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty and the most prosperous city in the Qin Dynasty.
With the development of Da Qin, many businessmen came to Xianyang to settle and do business.
There were only so many shops in total originally. After a few years, there are basically no good locations left!
The stinky tofu shop doesn’t need much space, so what if we can do other business later? We still need shops!
Instead of looking around for shops every time and not always being able to find the one you like, it would be better to just build a commercial city.
In the future, all businesses will be opened in the commercial city, and they can also be rented out and rents collected.
"Commercial City?"
The veterans are used to the new words coming out of Ying Feiyu's mouth and don't find it strange.
What puzzles them is, what does this commercial city mean?
"Your Highness, the commercial city you are talking about is a city dedicated to business?"
Zhang Han's brain is quick and he seems to understand a lot through literal interpretation.
"That's right! That's what it means...!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly. "Instead of looking for a store every time you do business, it is better to build a commercial city directly so that no matter what the people want to buy, they can buy it!"
"This is a good idea, but building a city alone is quite expensive!"
Zhang Han quickly calculated in his mind that it was impossible to make it without tens of millions of gold.
"Lao Zhang is right! Besides, the city is not that big!"
Wang Ben nodded, rarely agreeing with Zhang Han's opinion.
"Then build it on the outskirts of the city!"
"Suburbs of the city? Your Highness, please stop joking! There are still things of higher value. If they are of lower value, who is willing to go to the suburbs of the city?"
"Yes! No one would spend half a day walking to the outskirts of the city just to buy a cup of milk tea and a piece of stinky tofu!"
As soon as Ying Feiyu finished speaking, Meng Yi and Meng Tian spoke one after another.
Xianyang City is not a small place. Even if you travel by carriage, it would take several hours to run from one side of the city to the other, let alone on foot!
Even if people ride bicycles, it still takes a long time!
"You're right! Unless everyone drives out! But that's unrealistic!"
Chunyu Yue said.
Cars are expensive, and even if people's living standards have improved, they are still not within the reach of ordinary people.
And it also consumes a lot of gasoline, which all costs money!
In addition to nobles, only wealthy businessmen can afford it!
"What if there was a car that could go to the outskirts of the city? Everyone could take it, and each ride only cost a penny!"
Ying Feiyu solved the problems they raised very easily.
"What? There is a bus that goes to the outskirts of the city? Everyone can take it? And you only charge a penny? Isn't that a real loss?"
When Zhang Han heard this, he immediately frowned.
"Yes, there are countless people in the city. Cars can't be everywhere at your command, right?"
Chunyu Yue also waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that this method would not work.
"You can set up some stations in the city and let the vehicles drive according to the order of the stations! All the people who live in the stations can go to the designated place to wait for the bus according to the fixed schedule!"
What Ying Feiyu was thinking of was the buses of later generations.
There is a large area of land on the outskirts of the city. Although it is far away to build a commercial city there, if there is convenient transportation, many people will definitely be willing to go!
"This is a great idea!"
Queen Jingjue's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Even if there are fixed times, sequences, and designated places, a car can only seat four people at most except for the driver. The four cents paid are not even enough for a foot of gas. At the end of the day, How much money do you have to lose?”
Zhang Han felt distressed just thinking about it.
By then, the commercial city will indeed become prosperous, and all the money earned will probably be spent on cars.
It's better to open a store in the city. At least if you make money, you will really make money, and there will be no other consumption!
