Just when she was wondering how to speak, Zhou Ruiyuan suddenly said: "Steward Liu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"Isn't it appropriate?" Butler Liu looked at the man in front of him with confusion.
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly: "Since Mr. Fang asked for our craftsmanship, he must sincerely want to start an incense business. However, our Zhou family are not fools. One month's wages can only be worth a few bottles of high-quality incense." Fragrant dew, why don’t we make it ourselves and sell it?”
Butler Liu listened and arched his eyebrows, wanting to explain.
Zhou Ruiyuan continued: "I know, you must say that our Zhou family will not be able to do business if we don't have a shop or a source of customers, so now I have a solution that has both ends."
"What can we do?" Butler Liu asked.
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly: "Master Fang provides our Zhou family with shops and customers, and our Zhou family provides well-made incense. We earn 28 cents of silver every month." ?.?????.???
"Two of you, eight of us."
Butler Liu was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect this farmer to have such a brain. He made some calculations, stood up and said, "Okay, I will convey your intention to our master. Let's see what our master says."
Zhou Ruiyuan walked to him and sent him to the door, "It doesn't matter if Mr. Fang doesn't agree. Our Zhou family will not force it."
Butler Liu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him, his eyes darkened, and then he laughed: "You are really awesome as a young man!"
After he finished speaking, he shook his head and walked out of the courtyard and got into a carriage.
Seeing him leaving, Aunt Zhou quickly asked Zhou Ruiyuan: "Ruiyuan, what did you mean just now? What two, what eight?"
Du Wanchun came over and said with a smile: "Mom, what my husband means is to do business with the Fang family. We will earn two of them and eight of us. No one can take advantage of anyone else. This is much better than giving them just wages. Not only can we If we expand our Zhou family's business, we can still get 80% profit every month."
Aunt Zhou understood and was overjoyed, "That's a good thing. In this way, we don't have to personally come forward to do this business."
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly, "Yes, but I don't know yet whether Mr. Fang will agree."
After Mr. Fang learned the news, he was not angry, nor did he lower the price with the Zhou family. Instead, he agreed, "Okay, just listen to them. We will provide the shop space and supply of goods at a 20/80 split with them!"
Butler Liu asked doubtfully: "Master, do you really want to agree? We don't need this incense business, either?"
Mr. Fang held the burning incense in his hand and smelled it, "I have smelled such fine sandalwood in the palace more than ten years ago."
Butler Liu looked surprised, "In the palace?"
Mr. Fang nodded, "Yes, I remember that the current emperor loves incense. If we can bring this incense business to the capital, then to the imperial city, and become an imperial merchant, it will be different."
"But can this incense really be sold to the capital?" Butler Liu asked worriedly.
There was a smile in Mr. Fang's eyes, "Of course I can do it with my connections. No matter what the score is with their Zhou family, this business is guaranteed to make a profit, so don't worry."
Butler Liu was half-aware and helped Master Fang light another incense tower.
Mr. Fang smelled the fragrance and leaned back on the chair. He suddenly thought of something. His eyes were in a trance and he murmured to himself: "In the past, I remember that the eldest lady of the Lu family was the best at making incense. It's a pity that she died." morning....."
Butler Liu asked cautiously: "Is it the Lu family whose house was ransacked?"
Mr. Fang didn't reply and slowly closed his eyes.
But even if he didn't say it, Butler Liu knew that it was the Lu family, and in the entire Xuanyue Kingdom, only the Queen's mother's family was the best at making incense.
