Jinling Hotel.
Zhu Biao has already started his actions.
After waiting in line for a long time, he finally met the two officials in charge of procurement at Guanglu Temple.
When going out on a private mission, all the people who come are little shrimps, so naturally they don't know Zhu Biao.
"Two adults."
Zhu Biao put aside his status as the prince and bowed slightly to the two minor officials.
"Um."
Just a simple hum, the two officials didn't even raise their heads to look at Zhu Biao.
On the dinner table are the top dishes of Jinling Hotel, and the wine is also good.
The two of them were having a great time cooking, and their faces were all shiny.
Obviously, this job is quite lucrative!
A trace of displeasure flashed on Zhu Biao's face. These two people were officials of Guanglu Temple, purchasing for the royal family.
Is this how private businesses are treated as a result?
It's okay to say that this attitude is a bit harsh, but even food and accommodation must be paid by the merchants. These people are really not polite at all.
When Guanglu Temple goes out for shopping, travel expenses, food and accommodation will also be paid.
Fortunately, the two guys who were eating were still focused on eating and did not notice the change in Zhu Biao's expression.
"My lords, I happen to have some high-quality materials here, which are clean and clear. I wonder if you two lords can take a look with me?"
Zhu Biao took the initiative to speak.
After all, we are here to do business, so these things should be tolerated.
"oh?"
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, the two men finally raised their heads.
The fatter man looked at Zhu Biao and said, "You just want us to go see the ingredients with you?"
This time it was Zhu Biao's turn to be stunned, he didn't understand.
"I wonder if there is any inconvenience for you two adults. I can also send someone to deliver it. However, I also know that this glass object is fragile and expensive, so it is better to be careful."
Zhu Biao explained patiently.
"Ah!"
Before Zhu Biao could finish speaking, the fat man snorted coldly: "What a brat. You don't even understand the rules, yet you dare to let us see something? You can get out."
In one sentence, Zhu Biao was rejected.
this.
Zhu Biao didn't understand what was going on at all, but the other party's eviction order had been issued, so he had no choice but to retreat first.
As soon as he exited the box, the next waiting boss couldn't wait to get in.
Zhu Biao did not leave, but squatted at the door.
After a while, the door opened, and the boss just now came out with a cheerful look on his face. It was obvious that he was having a great time chatting.
"Boss, please stay."
Zhu Biao stopped the boss who was about to leave and asked why.
However, as soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, the boss looked at Zhu Biao in surprise.
After looking at it for a while, he said: "I think this is the first time for this young master to do something by himself."
"The boss has a keen eye."
Zhu Biao quickly replied: "This is indeed my first time. Please give me some advice from my boss."
"no, I'm fine."
The boss waved his hand and said: "Normally, we are competitors, so I shouldn't teach you, but what I want to do this time has gone smoothly, so I can tell you."
"Actually, this matter is very simple. If those two adults didn't receive your filial piety, how could they go to see the ingredients with you?"
Be filial!
When Zhu Biao heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "The procurement of Guanglu Temple, isn't that the job of the palace? How dare you take filial piety? Are you not afraid of losing your head?"
"Master, be careful what you say!"
The boss was startled by Zhu Biao. He was not Su Jing, so he could only say: "That's all I have to say. You can do what you want, young master."
After saying that, the boss ran away quickly, for fear of having anything to do with Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao was stunned in place, thinking about what he should do.
Could it be that the prince's power should be directly used to bring these two people to justice?
No!
I am here to sell things for Su Jing, using what I have learned, but power.
It turns out that the two purchases of Guanglu Temple require filial piety, so prepare to show filial piety.
Zhu Biao also learned how much preparation should be made for filial piety after asking around.
However, when he was ready, the two buyers had already left the Jinling Hotel.
After eating and drinking, we can't stay in the restaurant all the time.
Zhu Biao had no other choice but to follow him all the way.
And all this was seen by Su Jing.
“It’s also a good thing to experience more social torture.”
Su Jing muttered to herself, but thinking of Zhu Biao's status as either rich or noble, she felt it was a bit redundant.
But overall, it's quite interesting to watch your apprentice do things.
Zhu Biao followed the two buyers all the way to a flower shop.
This is a place for adult men to spend money, and it is the best place to listen to music in Goulan.
Zhu Biao watched the two purchasers go in, and of course there were a few merchants paying the bills beside him.
An angry look appeared on his face, Guanglu Temple's purchase turned out to be this kind of stuff!
It’s really hard to take cards without losing any of them!
"Young Master, I think you are a little angry. Why don't you go in and calm down the anger?"
Although Zhu Biao was only fifteen, he was tall and handsome. As soon as he arrived, a woman approaching him approached him.
"I think this young master is so handsome, why not let a little girl accompany him."
"Ying'er, you are wrong. This young man is the one I took my fancy first."
"What's yours and mine depends on who the young master likes."
Several women quickly gathered around Zhu Biao, like a group of butterflies picking flowers.
This made Zhu Biao a little embarrassed. He was still not very good at dealing with this kind of thing.
But the archguards who were hiding in the dark to protect Zhu Biao were ready to move at this moment.
So many women completely surrounded Prince Zhu Biao. If something unexpected happened, they would be unable to do anything.
Zhu Biao's safety is always the top priority!
However, just when they were about to take action, Su Jing appeared.
"I told you, please be careful, these are my students."
Su Jing pulled Zhu Biao out from the crowd and protected him behind him.
"Master Su."
Zhu Biao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Su Jing would appear to rescue him at this time.
Su Jing turned around and smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a small scene. You have to learn how to deal with women."
"Master Su, you are finally here!"
"That's right, Mr. Su, you haven't been here for how many days. I miss Yan'er so much."
"Master Su is so handsome. No wonder the students he accepts are so handsome."
As soon as Su Jing appeared, the woman's firepower was immediately transferred to Su Jing.
At the same time, many women also stretched out their hands, wanting to show off to Su Jing.
However, for a veteran like Su Jing, it is obvious that he will not be afraid of these "salty pig hands".
I saw him pulling Zhu Biao back and forth under the siege of women. In just a few steps, he had already entered the flower house.
Zhu Biao was completely confused. He didn't expect that his teacher was a frequent visitor here.
These women are obviously very familiar with Su Jing.
For a moment, Zhu Biao felt that the world seemed unreal.
"Niu Yi, have you learned this? This is called walking among thousands of flowers without even a single leaf touching you."
Su Jing said to Zhu Biao quite proudly.
But when he saw Zhu Biao's expression, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Niu Yi, Weishi is indeed a frequent visitor, but I came here mainly to listen to the music. Weishi is still very clean and self-sufficient."
Su Jing explained.
He was not talking nonsense. In his previous life, Su Jing was young and promising, with many women.
Now he has a huge industry in Lishui County, and it is not difficult to get a woman.
Just look at the women in this land of fireworks and willow alleys.
With the medical level of the Ming Dynasty, there was no treatment for certain diseases other than prevention.
Keeping yourself clean is also to live longer.
"Students know."
Zhu Biao nodded and answered decisively.
However, the corner of Su Jing's face twitched slightly, and his apprentice knew clearly that he believed it but did not fully believe it.
What a hassle!
Su Jing sighed secretly in her heart, but still took Zhu Biao into the flower house.
In the private room, Su Jing and Zhu Biao sat opposite each other.
"Master Su, isn't this flower shop also your property?"
Zhu Biao's first sentence made Su Jing almost spit out her tea.
"Of course not, I never work in this kind of industry that requires force!"
Su Jing said righteously.
There is nothing new under the sun. Many women who end up in flower shops are forced to do so by shady means.
Su Jing wouldn't do such a thing. Firstly, it would be difficult for her conscience, and secondly, she would be easily caught.
Most of the merchants in the early Ming Dynasty had leeks.
Although there must be someone behind the boss of Nenghuafang, what if the backer behind him falls?
When Zhu Biao heard Su Jing's answer, the look on his face relaxed a lot.
Fortunately, at least this place is not run by a teacher.
Zhu Biao added: "Master Su, when you were doing business before, did you encounter the same procurement problems as they did?"
Zhu Biao, who was rejected as soon as he stepped out, could only ask Su Jing for help.
Su Jing thought for a while and said: "It's not bad, it depends on the situation. If I beg them, then this is what I have to do. If it's the other way around, then no need."
“The relationship between procurement and the purchased is still determined by the relationship between supply and demand.”
Zhu Biao then remembered Su Jing's teaching on the market and the relationship between supply and demand, and immediately said: "The students know, but they feel that doing business this way is a bit too much."
Zhu Biao, a kind and gentle man, had in mind a more harmonious way, at least it shouldn't be as naked as this.
Su Jing said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with business. For those two Guanglu Temple purchasers, they are talking about royal business, but the benefits must fall into their own pockets."
"It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future."
There are even more tricks in the future!
Su Jing added in her heart.
Zhu Biao said angrily: "If we can follow Master Su's method and separate procurement from purchase, we can put an end to it!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao was also a little confused. He had clearly sent a message to his father Zhu Yuanzhang, so why had the Guanglu Temple's procurement process not changed.
"think too much."
Su Jing said: "It can't be stopped. You just stare at them and kill them one by one. What will happen to the next one?"
"Didn't I say that corruption is human nature, and the profits from this royal procurement are large enough that no regulations or measures can solve it."
Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing with some disbelief.
But thinking about what I saw, these two officials were eating, drinking and having fun, and they were all being served. There were even people queuing up to give money.
These things are many times more than the salary that an honest official would get.
Thirty percent profit?
No, more than fifty!
Harsh punishment? Anti-corruption system?
Nothing can stop them from continuing this behavior.
At most, it’s just a matter of whether it’s easy or difficult, and whether it will be discovered.
this is the truth!
Zhu Biao suddenly understood why Su Jing had advised him before that he should go through the process.
The so-called process is not something step-by-step.
After thinking about this, Zhu Biao said to Su Jing: "Thank you Master Su for your guidance. The student understands."
Note: The procurement process in the early Ming Dynasty was not found.
