1083 Merchants' Welfare
The night was warm, the winter chill was dispelled, and the palace of the laughing concubine was filled with a strong sense of spring.
Early in the morning, Xiaoxiao was dressed in a neat palace costume and walked out of the Xiaofei Palace, this night is her only favorite, she is the only one, the emperor is very loving, just warm and affectionate, and there is no wanton crusad, otherwise this morning, she is afraid that she will not be able to get up, feeling the emperor's affection, Xiaoxiao's heart is full of happiness, and the smile on her face is more beautiful than before.
The matter of the commercial exhibition has been decided, and it must be implemented as soon as possible, she has no time to be lazy, so the man is still in bed, she has already gotten up, and walked to the commercial management office of the outer palace to implement the detailed rules confirmed yesterday and implement it thoroughly.
She is early, but there are people who are earlier than her, Shangguan Tianxue, Ximen Yuxue, Luoxue, Xinyun, and all the daughters of the hidden family have already arrived, and she seems to be the latest one.
"Oh, everyone's so early, so hard for everyone."
All the women turned around, laughed in unison, saluted one after another, and shouted: "Congratulations to Concubine Xiaoniang, I won the emperor's favor last night, but I am envious?" ”
This kind of thing, can't be hidden, such a grace, how can the people of the Xiaofei Palace walk at night, it has long been spread, this represents the glory of the Xiaofei, and the status in the palace, the concubines don't care, but the people below can't guarantee that they have to compare with each other, and the emperor's affection is comparable to the status of the master who is waiting for him in the palace.
There was a touch of ruddy on his face that turned red, and he glanced at the women, and said: "If you are envious, it is better for me to play Your Majesty, and give you a chance tonight, I couldn't make Your Majesty happy last night, everyone is here, I believe that Your Majesty will not live up to the deep affection of your sisters." ”
Shangguan Tianxue said: "Xiaoxiao, don't do this, we don't dare to compete for favor, if the rules in the palace are broken, it will be bad." ”
Yes, although there are not many palace rules, there are only twelve, but each one needs to be strictly observed, which was unanimously agreed upon by several palace masters, and they did not dare to violate it, and only if everyone abides by the rules, can the imperial palace be happy and the sisters get along with each other.
During the time they came into the harem, they slowly got used to the life here, and they felt that it was good now, and they didn't want to change it.
"Your Majesty doesn't summon, we can't flatter Your Majesty, there are so many sisters in the Imperial Palace, if everyone uses the means, it won't look good, let's wait for the completion of the commercial fair, see if Your Majesty can give us a little reward, and when the time comes, you can mention it with a smile, then there is no problem."
"Okay, don't think nonsense, do things, do things, there are many things today?"
"There are three days left, the opening day of the fair, everyone has to step up, and now I start to assign tasks, and if there is any problem, say it immediately." Xiaoxiao spread out the various matters discussed yesterday, and filled in the names of all the women behind each matter, and it was clear who was responsible for what.
Three days, in a flash, from the detailed rules to determine, CP issued an announcement to the outside world, the entire newly established business management office was busy, Xiaoxiao as the principal, the sky was bright, in the middle of the night to sleep, almost no time to think about anything else, fortunately she was not alone, Shangguan Dump Snow, Ximen Yuxue, Luoxue, Xinyun, Bai Yubing, Liu Qingyan They are all first-class talented women, each with autumn colors, everyone is in the same heart, but the thing is implemented.
In these three days, more than 1,000 shops have carried out the investment work very smoothly, each shop has a number, and then the bidding, the highest price gets, a payment, a year to enjoy, all the shops in Wang Street, are a knot every year, the second year of re-bidding, this year also developed the Wang Street hut shop, Wang Street was originally in order to show the authority of the emperor, built very wide, 100 meters as much, so on both sides of the street, every ten meters added a temporary cabin, is a wooden counter, very small, about six or seven square looks, in the three Wang Street, It's like a special landscape.
These temporary shops and cottages, for those who do not have enough money to buy shops, is simply a surprise, more than a hundred wooden houses, less than an hour, all rented out, and added a huge income to the inner palace, you must know that the current Wang Street, during the commercial exhibition, the flow of millions of people, not to mention the wooden house shop, even if it is a stall, it is also full of money.
And close to the proximity of Wang Street, belonging to Longcheng Avenue, the shops of Longcheng Avenue have long been acquired by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are many big families, and they have also secretly purchased a lot of shops.
Those outsiders, of course, not only visit Wang Street, but also look for some of the most primitive features of Dragon City, those streets are okay, but the alleys also have a unique scenery, the most important thing, when the original business planning, these alleys have been organized, clean and tidy, but also let the tourists endlessly, the business is very prosperous.
And compared to Wang Street, the rent is very cheap, Xiaoxiao's original hotel has also been renovated and renovated, not to mention Xiaoxiao's fame resounding in Dragon City, those merchants who smell it, and tourists, crowd it here, there are few empty rooms left, Xiaoxiao's parents died early, grandpa has put down the burden, hired the shopkeeper to manage, and has long become a rich man.
After all, this must be the home of Concubine Xiao, whether it is the city guards or the Praetorian Guards, they will take care of this place, and no one dares to make trouble here, so this is the safest place, and those rich people, of course, are willing to live here.
"Old man, congratulations, there is a voice in the palace, this time the commercial exhibition will be hosted by the little concubine, which proves that the little concubine is favored by the emperor and enjoys the glory alone."
Xiaoxiao's grandfather is seventy years old, but his body is still very tough, when Xiaoxiao used to be a princess, he often came back to visit one or two, but when he became an imperial concubine, he couldn't be so casual, so he accepted a few trusted family members, as well as maidservants, and took care of the old man.
Although he can't become a big family because of the broken blood of his family, for the old man, it is bitter and sweet, and he doesn't have to suffer anymore in this life.
In the past, the old man was just a poor old farmer, and his heart was broken, but now, these rich people and big businessmen from all over the world are very flattering.
They also hope that through the old man, they will take over the people of the inner palace, not to mention favoritism, but it is very remarkable to be able to take care of one or two.
However, although the old man has become rich, his heart has not changed, and he never dared to have such thoughts, besides, what kind of place is the imperial palace, his granddaughter can live well, that is, he is rich, and he has no money, he doesn't care at all, his current life has long exceeded his imagination, and there is nothing to be satisfied with.
"It turned out to be Hu Yuanwai, how about it, the shop is rented, the old man feels that there are more people coming to Longcheng this year than in previous years, there are good shops to start as soon as possible, and the business that will make a steady profit without losing money is not missed."
"Thanks to the old man's blessing, the shop has been rented, it's really not easy to say, it's too sought-after, if I hadn't been decisive, hesitate for a moment, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything, but the rent is twice as high as last year, speaking of which, I really don't have a score in my heart."
The old man said with a smile: "Although this Hu Yuanwai can rest assured, you get what you pay for, have you ever heard that someone rented a shop last year and lost money, no, and the old man got some news, which has not come out for the time being, Hu Yuanwai must be interested." ”
Hu Yuanwai's heart was so moved that he immediately pricked up his ears and asked, "Old man, but you're from the Inner Palace?" ”
"Yes, I heard the news that Wangcheng Street will set up a management office, which will be managed by the Inner Palace himself, and the existence of the management office is to serve all the shop owners who rent shops and solve your various troubles, such as the storage of your goods, the problem of passage in the mainland, and all kinds of malicious competition problems, and the management office will take care of it."
"The most important point is that some businessmen have too many goods, not enough to sell, the management office will also find a way to help deal with it, which can avoid unnecessary losses of merchants, Hu Yuanwai thinks, these benefits, but only shop tenants can enjoy, solve your worries, the price is higher, it is nothing, don't you say?"
Hu Yuanwai looked overjoyed and said, "Old man, what you said is true? ”
"This matter will not be fake, so if Hu Yuanwai is worried about the loss of transportation, he must prepare early, otherwise at the beginning of the exhibition, there will be not enough goods, and it will be troublesome."
"Thank you, old man, I'll go back and get ready."
As a businessman, there are all kinds of troubles, once the merchant in the empire, the status is very low, the merchant is at the lowest level, only since the development of commerce in the Shenlong Empire, the status of the merchant has been improved, and now Wang Jie has established a management office, dedicated to the service of the merchant, the merchant's problem can go directly to the emperor's ear, which is very good.
For businessmen, there are a lot of things to be afraid of, such as repeated taxes, such as weather reasons, making goods unsalable, corruption, such as the storage of goods, and now Longcheng has every inch of land, and it takes dozens of miles to find a reliable warehouse, which is also a big expense.
What the old man said is not wrong, this news is true, anxious businessmen, think about businessmen, since they have earned a huge rent, of course, they must also consider businessmen, so that they can really make money, in addition to sales, but also to give them a kind of security.
This is also the method that Xiaoxiao and the women have unanimously discussed, and I believe that these businessmen will be overjoyed.
Yes, the notice that came out the next day, on the outer edge of the imperial palace, specially pulled out a relatively secluded large western courtyard, temporarily used as a warehouse, to put goods for the merchants of the shops on Wang Street, the time is one month, only set up during the exhibition, and the price is cheaper than renting a warehouse outside, and there are special guards to guard, with the card to store and receive, very convenient.
The most important thing is that this large warehouse belongs to the Imperial Palace, which is very close to Wang Street, which reduces the merchants' more replenishment time, reduces manpower and material resources, and correspondingly, reduces their losses.
And this is the first responsibility of the management office, the warehouse management fee collected, it becomes the operating capital of the management office, take the businessmen, use the businessmen, serve them, and solve all kinds of troubles.
The establishment of the management office, all the businessmen are happy, there were problems before, I don't know who to find, most people, can only find the government, but in business, the government lacks specialized talents, too much to put things on hold, like a seven-day exhibition, the time is too urgent, sometimes things have not been dealt with, the exhibition is over, and then the processing will lose its meaning.
