"Your Highness may wish to tell Wei Chen that the general's subordinates do have some shops, and the scale is not bad. If His Highness's drawings are indeed good, hehehehe."
When it comes to money, everyone has the same reaction. Those true gentlemen who are ashamed to talk about money will probably starve to death long ago. What else can they do to maintain their grace?
It is difficult to move without money, even the emperor is the same. Why could Qianlong keep running to the south of the Yangtze River? It was because his father Yongzheng left him a sufficiently strong treasury.
Although only by self-producing and selling products can he earn enough profits, Li Xian knows very well that he is still too weak now. Although there was Zhang Wenguan's public support and Hao Chujun's secret support, it was still not enough.
There is no hope that talented people will succumb to you as soon as the tiger's body is shaken. Sometimes, profit is the easiest thing to tie people into the camp.
If you don’t accumulate small steps, you won’t reach a thousand miles. A thousand miles is too far, so let’s start from the first step of being a prisoner!
The only things that can be handed over to the production supervisor for production are desks, tendon chairs, and shock-absorbing carriages.
However, there is obviously no shortage of sales for these things. At least Li Xian himself used it for a while, but he felt soreness in his back and shoulders. It makes no sense that people who have been using it for decades don't know the harmful effects of this thing.
Everyone is self-interested. No one would dare to change the offices of the three provinces and six ministries at random. But the home is a private place. Even if the censor can impeach someone, he cannot impeach someone's family affairs.
Moreover, Li Xian felt that being a prisoner might not mean that he would not be able to receive orders from the court.
Just give the emperor...
Hehe, it would be weird if it didn’t work!
Within half an hour, Li Xian was impressed by Yan Jize. After settling on the still 30% bonus share, Yan Jize left happily holding the drawings in his arms.
After negotiating a deal, Li Xian ignored Li Yun's report and went to the martial arts field to complete his morning practice before wiping his sweat and walking towards the lobby.
Zhang Youcai's movements were very agile. All the people he was asked to find yesterday had been found and brought to the palace.
In the lobby of the palace, a row of merchants stood there tremblingly, with several pairs of eyes glancing in the direction of the door from time to time, as if they might run away if they disagreed.
The palace! This is not a small place like the county government. As merchants, they have never been to such a place, so the one with the most fragile mind has his boots soaked with sweat.
Facing them, Li Xian didn't pay much attention to them, so he left them alone for a whole morning.
Entering the lobby, ignoring the salutes of these guys who were relieved but also burdened, Li Xian walked to his seat and sat down, drained a pot of tea in one breath, and then looked at Zhang Youcai: "Is this the person you found? Who makes the wine?”
Zhang Youcai came out, pointed at one of the businessmen and said: "Reporting to your highness, this person's name is Zou Hao. He is the shopkeeper of Zoujia Winery in the west of the city. It was a time-honored brand in the Sui Dynasty. When the villain opened the restaurant, he made reservations at their house. liquor."
Seeing Zhang Youcai introducing himself, Zou Hao hurriedly walked out, his waist almost touching the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness King Yong, I am the shopkeeper of the Zou Family Winery."
Li Xian nodded, ordered a servant to bring him a cup of tea, and said, "Since it was recommended by Zhang Youcai, it should be good. Zou Hao, I ask you, have you ever subordinated any official?"
Zou Hao said quickly: "Your Highness, I am running a small business. I only have a few old friends who order wine from the old man. In addition, the villain's family motto is that no fraud is allowed in wine making, so the cost of making wine every year is very high, and the profit is very high. Young Master, if this happens, no one will take notice of you. Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don’t know whether to say it or not.”
Li Xian nodded and motioned for him to continue.
After swallowing, Zou Hao continued: "If you want the villain to be mediocre, it is because of the virtues of the villain's ancestors. However, the villain's family motto is like this, and he will never cut corners in the brewing process."
After saying that, Zou Hao closed his eyes and waited for the execution to come. In his opinion, for a small businessman to dare to make conditions with a prince, he was seeking death.
But to his surprise, what he waited for was the prince's laughter.
Li Xian laughed because he finally understood why Zhang Youcai brought this guy here. There is no treacherous businessman, and it is really difficult for those who honestly abide by the ancestral precepts and do not cut corners to continue the inheritance alone.
Thinking about the old girl he once liked the most but now gave up on, Li Xian was full of affection for this guy.
"Okay, open your eyes. Your words are not offensive to me. I called you here today, but I have the intention of making you submissive. However, I will not let you give up the teachings of your ancestors. Zou Hao , I agree to your terms, please stand aside, and I will tell you about the expansion of production in the winery later."
Seeing King Yong looking at him, Zhang Youcai quickly continued to introduce: "Your Highness, this is Zeng Xiulin, a timber merchant from the west of the city. He also has a shop under his name. The business is not big, but it is not small..."
....
Zhang Youcai brought several wine merchants and lumber merchants and introduced them one by one, just to let the prince choose.
As a timber merchant, you only need to find one. The supervisor's business is a high-quality business, and the lower-level market can be handed over to this guy named Zeng Xiulin. As for the brewing businessman, one is not enough.
After scanning the several merchants making wine, Li Xian pointed to one of them and said, "Jiang Tao, right? Are you one of the top ones in Chang'an Winery?"
Jiang Tao stood up and said with a smile: "Your Highness is so complimentary. He is only seventh."
The number seven made Li Xian suddenly fall in love with this guy.
"Zou Hao, Zeng Xiulin, and Jiang Tao, you three can stay. The rest can go."
Hearing this, those who were not selected all breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether they were happy or regretful.
Zhang Youcai sent those people away, while Li Xian looked at Jiang Tao and asked, "Who are you submissive to?"
Since he can reach the top ten, it would be nonsense to say that this guy is not mediocre.
Jiang Tao bowed and said: "Reporting to your Highness, the villain is attached to Xu Yanbo, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. If your Highness wants the villain to serve, please ask Your Highness..."
Although he didn't say it, Li Xian knew very well that as this guy's new boss, he had to beat his original boss away no matter what. After all, although subordination is not a contract, it is difficult to be petty between the two, and Jiang Tao is also afraid of suffering unreasonable disasters.
But, Xu Yanbo, this is a coincidence!
Knocking on the table, Li Xian said: "Xu Yanbo's matter is not a big deal. Look, this guy will be out of Chang'an soon. By then, your worries will cease to exist."
After finishing speaking, Li Xian looked at the three people with burning eyes and said: "Zhang Youcai should have told you that this king is different from others. I don't just need support, but your complete allegiance!"
