Ying Fei followed behind Ying Su to the Imperial Palace, and watched His Majesty the Emperor step into the door of the main hall, he stood outside the hall and looked at the scorching sun above his head, shaking his head and sighing: "If the people of the imperial capital knew that they were sleeping in disheveled clothes in the house, maybe His Majesty the Emperor was looking inside the roof or wall of his house, I don't know how they would feel......

Ying Su entered the main hall, and an attendant hurriedly followed him and took off the complicated court clothes on his body and the crown on his head.

Ying Su exhaled shallowly, feeling that as soon as this outfit left his body, he suddenly relaxed.

After glancing at his cousin who was chattering at the door, he entered the inner hall with a blank face, knowing that Yingfei didn't dare to run away without permission.

The chamberlain just raised his head towards his back, and then he still bowed down to sort out the dragon robe layer by layer, while the little eunuch next to him watched him sort out one piece and took it with both hands, quickly sent it into the matching hall, and put it on the hanger in order.

At this time, the palace maid who had been waiting there for a long time would bring a fan of incense, and check the front, hem, and cuffs of the clothes that the emperor had only worn for a few hours......

Ying Fei complained for a while, and saw that there was no emperor in the main hall, so he had no choice but to walk in with heavy steps, and walked directly to the screen blocking the inner hall, and looked inside, and Ying Su had changed into an ordinary robe, and was staring at himself in the mirror to tie his belt.

"I, it seems to have cleared some ......," he glanced sideways, and Ying Fei whispered.

"So, ah......" Ying Fei nodded immediately, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty has been working very hard, and I ...... it every day" I can't think of a suitable word to describe the current behavior of Ying Su running to all the houses in the yard from time to time, and Ying Fei can't go on.

"I can't find my wife, I can't sleep." Ying Su came out of the inner hall, bent down and carried two single boots, and walked to the chair and sat down before putting them on in an orderly manner: "Wait a minute, let's eat first." ”

"Yes. Shall we rest for a few days? Su, look at me, now they're all tanned? Yingfei approached him, bent over and said bitterly.

Ying Su put on his boots, stomped on the ground with both feet, and leaned over to reach out a hat made of soap yarn from under the bookcase to buckle it on Ying Fei's head: "Put on ...... when you go out"

"You ......" Ying Fei teased the light yarn in front of her and looked at Ying Su with a wry smile: "Hey? Wei Chen found out that His Majesty has been wearing black clothes recently......"

Ying Su looked down at himself: "I think, I am more beautiful than my lady in black clothes!" ”

Yingfei is speechless to the extreme! At the same time, I also deeply feel that if I can't find my daughter-in-law, I will have to go crazy!

……

Two days later, Yue Xi arrived in Funing, her first stop after leaving the imperial capital.

Due to the involvement of the Ming Cheng case, the Funing Port at this time has lost its former prosperity, and the ships coming and going are more official ships of the Jokhang in addition to a few merchant ships.

Standing on the empty dam and observing for a long time, Yuexi was almost blown by the sea breeze, this place is offshore, especially in the early morning when the sun is not enough, it is still a little cold.

"Boss, there are not many merchant ships here now, and most of the goods transported by official ships to this place are transported by the officials themselves, isn't it ...... for us to set up a branch here?" Jin Niang stood at Yue Xi's side, staring at the boat on the water, and asked softly.

"Don't worry, calm down." Yue Xi said with a smile: "What we are doing is a long-term business, even if our old guys are gone in the future, our descendants can continue to do the Taiping Bureau." ”

Since Ying Su has made a lot of noise here, the imperial court has to work hard to clean up this stall. Therefore, Yue Xi is also waiting for the opportunity to give the emperor time to govern.

She believes that since Ying Su has burned the first fire since the pro-government here, then he will definitely return the people of Funing to a good life, and he can't leave people with the excuse to scold himself for being a 'faint king' behind his back.

Funing is the largest port near the imperial capital, and many foreign merchant ships from the sea are eventually allowed to dock here, but it is not possible to sail into the canal to transport the goods on board directly to the imperial capital.

The business that Yue Xi wants to contact in his heart is the business of these Fanbangs, not just a few scattered merchant ships in the Jokhang country!

After all, she has a modern soul and has an innate advantage in analyzing and grasping facts. And her plan for the Taiping Bureau is more long-term, many ideas are waiting for Yue Xi to slowly deploy and lead everyone to realize step by step, and even some ideas are too bold for her to even say.

"But we still have ten cars in our shop......" Jin Niang couldn't see Yue Xi's heart, Funing's shop was set up by her and Su Jinyan.

Since returning to the imperial capital, under the influence of the imperial government, Funing has only taken over one business from the imperial capital, and in the current situation, losing money is a foregone conclusion!

In the carriage for a few days, Yue Xi inquired in detail about the operation of various shops, and when it came to Funing's business, Liu Hualou said directly: "The balance at the end of the month, usually one hundred and fifty taels of silver will be put in......

One hundred and fifty taels!

Just thinking about it, Jin Niang is distressed.

The Taiping Bureau of the family's laborious operation period came, and the few newly opened houses near the imperial capital were all making money, so why did she lose money in this one she handled? After thinking about it deeply, Jin Niang felt that she couldn't raise her head again, and she didn't do this well for the master!

"The money that should be spent will be spent." Yue Xi turned around and walked under the dam, didn't look back, and said to Jin Niang: "After looking at it for a long time, what do you see?" ”

Jin Niang was asked by her and looked back at the dam, she thought for a while before cautiously replied: "There are a lot fewer cargo ships here. ”

"Hmm." Yue Xi walked in front, stepped on the stone steps and walked down, and said without looking back: "We don't have a good harvest by bowing our heads and working hard, the time and place are favorable, and the three are indispensable." ”

"Everything in the court may eventually affect us."

"Your Majesty has purged the government, and now those officials and masters in the imperial capital have converged, who would dare to smuggle smuggled goods at this time......"

"Then I don't understand, we only accepted those cars and horses at that time, why bother to buy a house and land here and open a shop?" Jin Niang stood on the dam and asked.

Yue Xi, who was walking down the stairs, stopped, she turned back to Jin Niang and smiled: "Look at it again, what else can you see from those boats walking below?" ”

Jin Niang really walked a few steps to the side of the dam, and Liu Hualou also walked over, but he didn't have him on the last trip to Funing, so it was in vain to look at the boats walking under the dam for a long time.

"Okay, come down, it's windy up here, don't stand so far aside......" Yue Xi continued to walk by herself after speaking, Jin Niang remembered what she said, and hurriedly chased after her: "Master, I can see that there are fewer ships coming and going here, why don't you tell me what you see?" ”

Jin Niang began to say that she wanted to follow Yue Xi to do business, half of it was because she was interested in doing business, and half because she saw that Yue Xi was very hard to walk around all year round, and wanted to share some of it for her.

In the first battle of Funing, she also had a lot of fame in the Taiping Bureau, and everyone knew that the best cars and horses in the shop were bought back by her and Su Jinyan, and even Zheng Baocai, who never took women other than Yuexi seriously, was much more polite when he saw her.

This kind of experience made Jin Niang from just interested in doing business to liking!

She's really in business now.

Thinking about it, it was just a judgment of Yue Xi at the beginning, she spent so much money to buy back so many good carriages and horses, and in a few days, the silver tickets left by the master to her were earned back a hundred times, what a novel feeling? When I think of it, Jin Niang has a feeling of blood boiling!

It's incredible that money can make money......

Walking to the carriage, the guards had already set up the footstool, Yue Xi stepped into the car, and only sat down to meet Jin Niang's eager eyes looking at him, Yue Xi's heart moved, and he said: "There is no such thing as silver, too much, it's just a number, money can make money, it's not false at all, but money can still pit people into a catastrophe, Jin Niang, don't get into the obstacles!" ”

"Huh?" Jin Niang looked at Yue Xi in a daze, obviously not understanding the meaning of her words.

"I just ask you, what were you thinking when we were going to eat, wear or wear in the palace?" Yue Xi asked lightly.

"At that time, what else did I think there, I just thought that it would be best to live today and not die of cold and starvation......" Jin Niang said as her voice suddenly lowered, and she suddenly closed her mouth to Shang Yuexi's gaze.

Yue Xi smiled and nodded: "That's what it means, what we are seeking is the way of benefit, but we have to hold on to one point: it is we who make the silver, not the silver that makes us." ”

"No wonder you can be our family." Jin Niang's face was red: "I won't tell you, just now on the embankment, I only saw how many goods those ships could carry, and our shop here only had a dozen cars and horses, and how much silver could be earned by transporting them back to the imperial capital......"

"No matter how many ships can be in this port and how many goods come in, as long as those ship owners dock the goods, they will definitely arrange the carriages and horses in advance, unless there is an accident, they will find other shops and horses, so don't think about those."

Yue Xi stretched out her hand and knocked on the carriage, signaling the carriage to move forward, and then she continued: "Our shop is open here, but it can't be done just waiting for business to come to the door, so we have to find business." ”

"Also, didn't you ask me what I just saw on the dam?"

Jin Niang and Liu Hualou listened to Yue Xi very carefully, so she didn't sell Guan Zi, but said directly: "I'm looking at how many ships there are in the feudal country." ”

"Funing is the largest port near the imperial capital, but because it is too small here, and there are few merchants from the south, even if the merchant ships of many feudal countries want to do business with our merchants in the Zhao, they still have to stop the ships with goods in places where there are many merchants." Yue Xi looked at the two of them and explained carefully.

"I understand what it means to be in charge!" Liu Hualou said excitedly: "The owner means to recruit those merchants who went to the south, so that the ships of the feudal kingdoms that were originally docked in the south can also stop in Funing, and the business of our shop will definitely be able to hide!" ”

"Haha! If the ships that originally stopped in the feudal kingdom could only stop in Funing, why should I go to the south to attract merchants, and there are still few rich businessmen in the imperial capital? Am I guilty of sacrificing the near and the far? Yue Xi smiled and shook his head.

"Oh, isn't it!" The excitement on Liu Hualou's face swept away and wilted again.

"The location of Funing is special, only a few days away from the imperial capital, it must be the merchant ships of the vassal kingdom that are subject to my Dazhao to be eligible to dock, otherwise all the merchant ships will be crowded in, what if there are soldiers and horses hidden inside?"

Neither of them was connected, and no one could guess what Yue Xi thought.

"Why do you have to let someone else do these things?" Yue Xi pointed back at himself and said, "We are businessmen, and we can do the business of these feudal kingdoms in the Taiping Bureau!" And we can do better. ”

......The more the two people in the carriage listened to it, the more confused they became, and they still didn't understand what the head of the house was doing.

"It's not easy for the ships of the vassal kingdom to come to Dazhao, and I must hope that this trip can earn more silver." Yue Xi explained to them little by little: "Our Taiping Bureau has cars and horses, as long as there are roads and there is no war, we can go anywhere." ”

"There is no need to wait for business to come to the door, our carriage can go out and bring back the specialties from all over the Zhao to trade with the merchants of the vassal kingdom here in Funing, so that they can directly pick the goods they are interested in from the goods of our Taiping Bureau and transport them back after they unload the goods, and they will not go back and forth...... That's what I thought. ”

What Yue Xi said is actually the modern concept of 'logistics', which is a business that integrates transportation, storage, procurement, loading and unloading, packaging, circulation processing, distribution and so on!

Because it is a shop that completes these things that originally required many shops to do at one time, the cost in the middle is reduced a lot, and the time for goods to be turned between shops is reduced, and for those businessmen who are running around for money all day long, saving time is having more opportunities to make money, so as long as her idea can be operated, it will definitely work.

And Yue Xi, who can effectively integrate this qiē, has an absolute advantage that the world cannot match: there is a modern soul living in her body, and although she sees things thousands of years later than the current Jokhang, there is no doubt that Yue Xi's vision is broader!

She probably knows the names of those feudal states corresponding to later generations, and she can also roughly know the famous specialties of various places in Jokhang, according to the historical knowledge she has learned, as long as Yuexi makes full use of these, it is her unique capital!

"Master, you really dare to think about it......" Jin Niang was almost stunned when she heard Yue Xi's explanation, and it took a long time to speak.

"But there's still a little bit I haven't figured out." Liu Hualou, who was also dumbfounded, was still sensible, and he asked puzzledly: "Why does the owner have to choose to do business with people from Fanbang?" ”

"It's very simple, not only Funing, as long as it is a businessman in Jokhang without exception, it will be affected by Jokhang's current politics. For example, what you can see in front of you, the case of the Ming family a few months ago has made Funing's port freight sluggish until now. ”

"And because of the long distance of the vassal kingdom, even the most well-informed people want to know the news of the Jokhang Kingdom, it will take a month or even longer, so they will continue to do their business unchanged."

"Therefore, it is safer for us to speak with the merchants of the feudal kingdom, isn't it?" Jin Niang whispered, afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Yue Xi nodded this time: "Yes, many officials and businessmen in the Jokhang country collude, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and most of the businessmen in the vassal country are just doing business, but it is more secure." ”

"Got it!" Liu Hualou finally understood what Yue Xi said, and when his heart suddenly opened up, his eyes lit up and said: "Then our future business will be all over the world!" ”

"Huh!" Yue Xi raised his hand and pointed out of the car: "Don't be in the future, now there is a money-making business to do now, although it is not a big business, it may be done for a long time." ”

"Now?" Jin Niang and Liu Hualou looked out of the car at the same time, only to see the vast sea in the distance.

"You see too far away, it's close." Yue Xi stopped the carriage, and several people jumped down one after another.

"See?" She walked to the side of the road and pointed to a large green thing growing in the cracks of the rocks on the shore and said, "I saw these things last time I came, but I didn't have a chance to do it!" ”

"What's that?" A few people got off the roadbed and walked towards the beach, Jin Niang asked as she walked.

"This local's name is 'Ulva Stone', you see it's everywhere here!" Yue Xi walked over, bent down and pinched a section on the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and handed it to Liu Hualou casually: "You can make feed." ”

"Oh." Hearing this, Liu Hualou and Jin Niang had already thought of the big mules and horses in the backyard of the Taiping Bureau.

"We can eat it too." Yue Xi continued: "I want to give it to people......"

“……”

"Is this delicious?" Jin Niang took it and looked at the big green thing in front of her, the vegetables were not grassy, she was afraid that it would not be clean, so she didn't dare to touch it.

"It's a very good thing, it's just that the people in our imperial capital don't know each other." Yue Xi bent down and picked up some beautiful ones, grabbed them with both hands and walked back: "Let's try it in a while." ”

……

It didn't take much effort, and the carriage arrived at the shop in Funing, the Taiping Bureau.

The shopkeeper who didn't get the news was trimming the horse's mane for a horse in the big yard, and as soon as Yue Xi entered from the outside, he saw a big horse combed with a 'middle and long straight' that was helplessly tossed!

"Shopkeeper Lu." The shopkeeper here is surnamed Lu, who is one of those dart masters under Yue Xi, and he is cautious. Yue Xi also took a fancy to him, so he sent him to Funing to watch the shop.

"Ho!" There is no business in the shop, the shopkeeper Lu is uncomfortable, he is rolling his arms and sleeves to compete with the horses, and the horses in the backyard are dressed up in the sky, and now he has cut the mane of these horses into a single appearance, he looks at it very neatly, but in Yue Xi's eyes, these high-headed horses are like long-faced little spies!

"Boss, I really didn't expect you to come!" Shopkeeper Lu was holding a large pair of scissors in his hand, which was not suitable anywhere, and at the end, he put it in his clothes.

Yue Xi's eyes jumped, and he was afraid that he would forget about it after a while, and poke himself out of a hole again! So he hurriedly pointed and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, let's put this in the house." ”

"Sit in the house!" Shopkeeper Lu took out the scissors and led everyone into the house.

Yue Xi introduced both parties.

The shopkeeper Lu didn't say anything on his face, but he was suspicious in his heart, suspecting that the owner was disgusted that he hadn't done a serious business for a few months, and brought someone over to replace him.

"It's nice here!" Yue Xi didn't need to look to know what Shopkeeper Lu was thinking, so he calmed him down with a mouth.

"Shame! Ashamed! Shopkeeper Lu hugged his fist at Yue Xi with shame: "The shop has been open for a few months, and it is still ...... There's nothing to buy or sell yet. ”

"Not badly." Yue Xi looked around in the main house with his hand, and walked to the backyard: "With the gold signboard of our Taiping Bureau, I am afraid that there will be no business in the future?" ”

"That's it." Shopkeeper Lu answered, but he was still beating a drum in his heart.

He has been in Funing for a few months, and the situation of the carriage and horse shop is also clear, and the official ships at Funing Wharf now use the carriages and horses of the barracks to transport goods, where can they get their turn?

And there are only two carriage and horse shops left, and the other one is opened in the county, which is also a dismal operation, and it looks like it is about to end!

After looking back and forth, several drivers and two guys in the shop were also standing in a row in a row in horror and waiting for Yue Xi to speak.

Yue Xi asked the guard to take the stone lettuce in the car and send it to the kitchen, and she followed into the kitchen.

"What does the owner do with those Ulva that feed the fish?" The guys were all locals, and they knew what the guards were holding, so they couldn't help but mutter.

Shopkeeper Lu shook his head: "Presumably the shop doesn't make money, so we will be allowed to eat this in the future......"

……

At lunchtime, the two dishes made by Yue Xi were served. It is made with the fresh Ulva that I brought back from the sea.

One bowl is cold with minced garlic, and the other bowl is fried with shredded pork. With rice porridge and steamed buns, Jin Niang and Liu Hualou ate such food for the first time, but they both felt delicious!

"I didn't expect this thing to look good, but it tastes good." Jin Niang said softly: "The head of the house wants to transport these ulva to the imperial capital to sell, right?" ”

"Yes, you have also seen that this kind of Ulva is everywhere on the seaside, and it is an ordinary thing here, and it is worthless." Yue Xi also put down his chopsticks, looked at Shopkeeper Lu and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, there are few things on the dock right now, so you can collect the Ulva first." ”

"It's not difficult to collect these, but if it's so hot today, this thing will rot before it arrives in the imperial capital!" Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly reminded.

"We don't accept fresh ones." Yue Xi looked at a few people at the dinner table: "Shopkeeper Lu is right, it is summer now, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables in the imperial capital are very re-screened, even if they can be shipped over at this time, they can't be sold for a price." ”

"I'm asking you to start harvesting and drying the Ulva now, aren't all the warehouses in our backyard empty? You can save this for me, as much as you want, just wait for the winter and then transport it to the imperial capital! ”

As soon as the imperial capital arrives in winter, there are few kinds of vegetables and vegetables, and this is the best time to sell dried Ulva vegetables...... And I have been suffering from no business, but I also have a business.

……

More than 20 days later, in the Imperial Palace, Ying Suzheng was flipping through the folds sent by the household department one by one.

Among them, the Jizhou Mansion has stopped in his hands for a long time, and he stared at the neat line of fly-headed Xiaokai on it a few times, which is just the ordinary words of the local officials to routinely report daily government affairs, which means that after several months of governance, Funing is finally getting better, and some merchants are buying local specialty Ulva ...... And the name of that shop is the Peace Bureau!

T
