Chapter 665: Monopoly

Fan Bin shook his head resolutely: "It must be right!" ā€

Princess Chunhe sneered: "Who is so domineering in my Dao!" It seems that my brother is short of money again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

The Ningxing business was originally the property of the Crown Princess Fu's mother's family. However, since the prince returned from disaster relief three years ago, the prince took advantage of the charge of Ningxing Firm's ineffective escort of disaster relief food, and received the business under his own name and handed it over to Wang Miaoyan to operate.

Not many people in Jingzhong know about this matter, but Princess Chunhe is one of them.

Concubine Fu Xian seemed to be spending a leisurely life with the little prince in the palace, but how could she not pay attention to such a major event? This is related to whether she can survive after Emperor Qinglong.

She has her network and news channels, and pays special attention to the crown prince and the king of Qi. She is one of the four concubines, and when she really sees the dagger, she can't watch the fire from the other side. Besides, she has always taken precautions, how can she leave her fate at the mercy of God?

Therefore, Princess Chunhe also knows more about the news from the prince. The matter of Ningxing's business, the prince did not care to keep it secret, and the East Palace spent a lot of money, if there was no source, he was afraid that Emperor Qinglong would be suspicious.

After the Ningxing firm returned to Wang Miaoyan, she expelled all the disobedient people, leaving only those who obeyed. If you think that relying on the power of the crown princess, Ning Xing Business is very arrogant, and his current actions can be called ruthless and vicious.

Where are they doing business? If they encounter weaker competitors than them, they will either be annexed directly or ruined. In today's Gyeonggi land, except for the imperial merchants and those century-old brands, small and medium-sized businesses are afraid of them.

The reason why Wang Miaoyan dared to act so recklessly had a great deal to do with the low status of businessmen.

She herself is from the Wang family in Jiangnan Province, and she has seen the faces of those eunuchs since she was a child. Even a Qian family can rely on the momentum of being a bandit to force the Wang family into a desperate situation. It is conceivable that the government does not pay attention to businessmen.

Shinong businessmen, businessmen are at the bottom. Peasants can still go to the official office to complain, and scholars can even see the official without kneeling. There are people with craftsmanship, who dares to be disrespectful in the neighborhood?

Only businessmen, although the goods are connected to the north and the south, but they make too much money, they will be pointed at their noses and scolded profiteers. If you earn less, the dividends at the end of the year are too thin, and you will be scolded as a black-hearted owner.

Once the government has something to do, the first person to build bridges and pave roads is the local wealthy businessmen. Coupled with the tax silver, the money spent on opening up relationships, etc., the merchant is the treasury in the eyes of the government. If you are unwilling to pay, the government has more ways to make your business difficult.

In the Gomang Dynasty, merchants looked extremely glamorous, with hordes of servants coming in and out. Only they know the suffering. This is also why, once you become a big businessman, you will let your children and grandchildren study. Only when there are scholars in the family who sit in the official position, can this business continue for a long time.

Therefore, the real royal businessmen, time-honored brands and other wealthy businessmen all have extraordinary backstage behind them. The Xu family was able to expand their business so rapidly in just a few years, except that Xu Wenmin was indeed a business wizard, and the Empress Dowager Xiao standing behind him was a crucial factor.

But not everyone can have a backer. Those small and medium-sized businesses that are struggling to operate have to endure layers of exploitation from the government and the squeeze of their peers, and it is difficult to maintain some profits.

As for the competition and competition between businessmen, in the eyes of the government, it is like a dog eating a dog, unless there is a big case, it is usually too lazy to care.

Once Wang Miaoyan gained power, she relied on her understanding of businessmen to use all kinds of means to quickly annex and expand the business. The Ningxing business has become a cash cow in the hands of the prince.

Princess Chunhe told her what she knew, "It seems that Ning Xing is eyeing the medicinal herb business. Start with Dendrobium and get rid of the herb merchants who are in the way. ā€

Su Liangzhi slammed his fist on the desk with a "bang", and said angrily: "Medicinal materials are used to save lives, how can you monopolize them!" ā€

Liu Qilan was shocked by Princess Chunhe's words, and also forgot her little daughter's mood, and exclaimed: "If the dendrobium produced here is taken away by Ningxing Firm, then wouldn't they be able to price it how they want?" So, what if it's too expensive for ordinary people to afford? ā€

Fan Bin glanced at her, and couldn't imagine that she, a young lady raised in the boudoir, could understand this truth.

Feeling his gaze, Liu Qilan's heart skipped a beat, and she said softly: "I read it in the book." ā€

Since she figured out that a woman's future was not in the Four Books and Five Classics, she had read a much wider range of books. Miscellaneous notes on wild history, medical books, travelogues and poems, as long as they can be bought on the market, she has read them all. This made her know a lot of things that she didn't know in the past, and she figured out a lot of truths.

Fan Bin nodded and said, "That's right." What's more, dendrobium is rare because of its small production, and its price is high. In this way, I am afraid that there are really people who can't afford to see a doctor. ā€

Su Liangzhi hated this kind of behavior very much, not to mention that he had disregarded human life and harmed the medicine merchant who came to Cishui Village. As soon as this monopoly method comes out, it will invisibly harm many people.

"No! Now that I have seen such a thing, I cannot ignore it. Su Liangzhi said angrily.

Princess Chunhe pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This matter is really not something we can manage if we want to. The herb merchant is dead, and we have no basis for what we say, what should we do? ā€

Liu Qilan hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you let them run rampant?" ā€

The people present are all considered to be the top figures of the Gaomang Dynasty, and it is not difficult to see the emperor. Seeing such a thing with your own eyes, you will be helpless? Liu Qilan couldn't believe it.

Fan Bin touched his chin and said, "Tube, think of a way to manage it." ā€

Behind the Ningxing firm stands the crown prince, and as long as the prince's power is still there, he must not act rashly. Now that the situation in the court is changing, I rushed to find out about this matter, but I can't come up with real evidence. Perhaps, Guan Jinghuan will take the opportunity to fight back and make the prince's momentum go to the next level.

Of the four people present, Su Liangzhi was a doctor, and he was focused on medical skills, and he didn't know anything about these tricks. Although Liu Qilan has read a lot of books, and she has read a lot of books in the back house, you step on me and I step on your doorway, but in terms of sensitivity to these things, she is far less than Xu Wanzhen.

Only Princess Chunhe and Fan Bin knew that this matter was mishandled.

Su Liangzhi and Liu Qilan ran out of ideas, so they looked at the two of them blankly, waiting for them to come up with a proper plan.

Half of the candles in the room were burned, and between the candle flames, Princess Chunhe said, "I have an idea, why don't you tell me a little bit more about it?" ā€

Fan Bin's heart darkened, he could probably guess Princess Chunhe's idea. He had just thought about it, but he didn't want to say it out of his own emotions.
