Huang Yuan began to study machines with craftsmen, and Wang Bi and Zhang Han also began to go to the Ministry of Rites to work on spring affairs!
When they arrived at the Ministry of Etiquette, they discovered that the number of applicants for Spring Festival was more than they had imagined!
This is really worrying for big bosses like Wang Ben, Kang Anping and Meng Tian!
They have been wielding swords and guns all their lives, and suddenly they are asked to do these delicate things, and they really can't do it!
In just one day, they felt like they were one head tall and two heads tall.
Every once in a while, you have to go outside to get some fresh air, otherwise you will be suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere!
This is just the preparation stage. When spring comes, we still don’t know what will happen!
"Lao Wang, Lao Meng, think about the marshmallows...!"
Chunyu Yue saw the thoughts of several people and took the time to persuade, "His Majesty was depressed at that time. If we didn't help solve the problem, could His Majesty agree to us so happily? This is the first time we have done business without His Majesty. It’s still a semi-monopoly business, and it will definitely make money in the future! Just for the sake of money, hold on for a few more days!”
"Hmph! If it weren't for the sake of money, we wouldn't have agreed at that time!"
"Who says it's not the case! It's too difficult for us, big bosses, to deal with those stupid people!"
Meng Tian didn't say anything, while Wang Bi and Kang Anping looked unwilling.
"It really can't be done... Just rest for the next two days. Old Feng and I will help you with the work first, and you will come back when the day of invigilation begins! You have already promised His Majesty, and it's not good to go back on it!"
Chunyu Yue was the former Minister of Rites. Now that there is a shortage of people, he must help persuade.
Wang Bi and Kang Anping thought for a while and nodded, "Then let's go back first and come back when we are familiar with the examination room!"
They really can't stay any longer. If they continue, they will probably die in depression!
"good!"
Chunyu Yue nodded and let the three of them leave.
It wasn't until the day before the Chunwei exam started that they were called to the exam room to explain the matters related to the invigilation!
It's actually nothing complicated.
Candidates’ seat numbers are issued in advance.
There are also dedicated people at the entrance to carefully check the candidates and their accompanying belongings, so there is no need for them at all!
What they have to do is to supervise those candidates and not cheat in the examination room!
"This job looks like it was done by humans!"
Only then did the three old guys show satisfied smiles.
It's nothing more than walking around the examination room for a few times without having to deal with words!
After three exams, the veterans were finally liberated.
We immediately made an appointment and had a big drink!
They were doing a favor. Don't worry about the follow-up matters, just leave it to the people in the Ministry of Etiquette to handle it themselves!
"It's really not easy to make some money. You have to take any job!"
"There's no way, who gave His Majesty the ability! If we could build machines ourselves, we wouldn't have to take this job!"
"Humph! I don't think so! Even if there is no marshmallow machine, His Majesty Bao Buqi will think of other ways for us to help!"
"No way……?"
At the wine table, veterans would still mention the invigilation issue, always feeling it was too much of a coincidence.
But upon detailed analysis, we can’t figure out what’s wrong!
In the end, just stop thinking about it and just do whatever you love!
You can't stop entering the palace just because His Majesty keeps digging holes for them, right?
In these years, His Majesty has brought them the majority of benefits, while he has been the minority when it comes to cheating them!
In this Spring Festival, although there are many people to refer to, there are also many talents who can be sent to the imperial court.
With these talents, many vacancies can be filled!
After everything came to an end, the veterans also started to set up a marshmallow stall.
Seeing that the machine was about to be built, they had to prepare quickly!
They had just finished the plan and selected a group of capable people. News came to them from the factory that the first batch of marshmallow machines had been built, a total of thirty units, and they were asked to pick up the goods!
After receiving the news, a few old guys excitedly led people to pick up the goods.
When paying, the veteran was confused, "What did you say? I paid too much?"
Watching Huang Yuan hand back the extra banknotes, he couldn't believe his eyes!
"Yes! His Majesty specifically stated that each machine will be sold at a price of four hundred gold!"
Huang Yuan put the banknotes into their hands and said with a smile.
"Four...four hundred gold?"
When buying His Majesty's things, I always pay extra, and I have never seen the money back.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty took the initiative to lower the price this time?
Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west?
Wang Bi and others were so stunned that they didn't react for a long time and couldn't believe it!
"That's right! It's hard to recruit craftsmen now, and the production line has just been launched, so the craftsmen are not familiar with the business! In the future, when the craftsmen are familiar with the production process, the output can be increased. By then, the cost can be reduced, and the selling price will definitely be high. Lower it some more!"
Huang Yuan briefly revealed what Ying Feiyu meant.
Now the veterans were even more shocked, "Can we lower the price again in the future?"
In this way, it means that the capital can be recovered in half a year, and the rest is pure profit.
"Yes! His Majesty has already stated that as long as the cost drops, the selling price will also drop!"
Huang Yuan said firmly.
"Yo?"
The veterans looked at each other with disbelieving expressions, becoming even more suspicious that the sun would rise in the west.
Normally, the selling price will not be changed once it is set, but this time they made an exception?
It is definitely good to save money. The old dealers kept the remaining money and returned to the city happily with the machine.
"Tell me, is it because His Majesty does not sell the machine to outsiders that he sells it to us at such a low price? And as the cost decreases, the selling price also decreases for us?"
On the way back, the old guys didn't say a word for a while, all thinking about this matter.
It wasn't until he arrived at the palace that Zhang Han was drinking tea and taking a break before he spoke.
"I think so too! In the past, those machines were sold out, so the price remained the same! But this time we stated that we would buy all the machines, so His Majesty gave us a special exception!"
Wang Ben nodded repeatedly and took over the conversation.
"That makes sense. Otherwise, if everything is fine, why did the price suddenly drop?"
"It seems that His Majesty still takes special care of us!"
"Yeah! I think so too! After all, our relationship is here!"
"Don't say that His Majesty tricked us in the future. It should all be a misunderstanding!"
"Yes! Misunderstanding...!"
Through this incident, all the doubts that the veterans had in their minds were eliminated, and they were in a good mood.
"With the machine, we can start to expand the stall! If the price of the machine drops again in the future, we can also lower the price of marshmallows to increase the repurchase rate!"
"Yeah! That's a good idea!"
"Then let's proceed as planned...!"
The veterans have already made plans on how to expand their stalls, and now they just need to follow the plan.
Ten machines remained in Xianyang, scattered everywhere.
The rest will be shipped to surrounding counties!
