Chapter Ninety-Three: Heart-to-Heart Sympathy

"All-inclusive? Half a pack? ”

Wanli looked at Guo Dan with a puzzled expression, as an emperor, he couldn't understand it at all.

Guo Dan explained: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the meaning of this all-inclusive is that the entire canonization ceremony is all handled by the grass people, from the budget to the cost, to the layout, all the details are handled by the grass people." In the case of half a package, from the budget to the cost, these grass people don't care, and the grass people just look for some financial methods that can be subsidized according to the existing ritual system. ”

Wanli didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and asked eagerly: "Then what's the difference between the two?" ”

Guo Dan replied: "If it is all-inclusive, the grass people can guarantee a certain profit, but at the same time, the grass people will also control the cost and avoid some expenses, which may make the ceremony not as glamorous as before, and if it is half a package, the grass people cannot guarantee profits, because the grass people cannot control the cost, as for how much can be subsidized, it depends on how much room Your Majesty can give the grass people to operate." ”

From the perspective of doing business, if you can't control costs, how can you guarantee profits, and God can't do it.

Wanli nodded slightly, which was not difficult to understand, and asked again: "But I still can't understand how this ceremony of canonizing the imperial concubine can make money...... What I mean by this is that since ancient times, this canonization ceremony has cost money, and it is impossible not to spend money, let alone make a profit. ”

The reason why he summoned Guo Dan was for this, and he felt that it was simply incredible.

Even Xu Mengxi looked at Guo Dan with some curiosity, although he expected that Guo Dan would have a way, but he had no clue about it, and he was also full of curiosity.

Guo Dan groaned for a while, and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the grass people are businessmen, and they will only use the means of businessmen to operate. ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."

If Guo Dan wanted to use Shoufu's means to operate, Wanli would not come to him, and he was tired of Shoufu's methods.

"Yes."

Guo Dan bowed, paused slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the concubine usually brings a hairpin at the canonization ceremony. ”

Wanli nodded and said, "Of course. ”

Guo Dan continued: "Then the grass people will take this hairpin to explain, in the past, this hairpin must have been prepared by the palace, find some of the best gold and silver jewelry, and then find the best craftsmen in the world to tailor it for the concubine, which will generate a lot of costs." But if it is left to the grass people, the grass farmers can do it without spending a penny, and they can also make money. ”

Wanli was amazed when he heard this, and said, "How to make money?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The grass people will contact the best jewelry stores in the capital and ask them to tailor hairpins for the concubine, and the gold, silver and jewelry will be paid by them, and at the same time, they will have to pay a sum of money to Your Majesty." ”

Xu Mengxi was stupid, there is such a good thing in this world, why didn't you introduce it to me earlier.

Wanli couldn't close his mouth even more, and said, "You... What do you say, they have to pay me for the gold, silver and jewelry? ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Yes, and it's a lot of money." ”

"But why is that?" Wanli said blankly.

Guo smiled lightly: "The reason is very simple, the largest jewelry store in the capital, they are not bad for money, and at the same time they want to make more money, but it is difficult for them to go further, but if the world knows that His Majesty canonized the imperial concubine and asked them to order hairpins, then the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, rich businessmen and gentry will go to their homes to order all kinds of jewelry, and they will be able to make more money from it, and all this is because of Your Majesty, then of course they have to give Your Majesty money." ”

Wanli nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, he said, "I seem to understand." ”

Guo Dan said again: "Moreover, the money earned is far more than that."

"Much more than that?"

Wanli couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, but this made him confused again, and said excitedly: "Tell me quickly." ”

He really felt that it was not completely impossible now.

Guo Dan said: "There is a saying, hearing is false, seeing is believing, just talking may not be able to make people believe, how to let everyone see is believing........" Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Xu Mengxi.

This look actually made Xu Mengxi a little frightened, and asked, "What are you looking at me for?" ”

Scare the hell out of you old fox. Guo smiled lightly: "Because this may require the help of the little uncle's three musketeers." ”

Xu Mengxi was slightly stunned, and suddenly said, "You mean to draw it?" ”

"Exactly."

Guo Dan nodded, and said to Wanli: "If Your Majesty agrees, the grass people believe that the Three Musketeers are also very willing to pay Your Majesty a sum of money, and let Your Majesty allow them to record the entire ceremony with paintings and customize them into a picture album, which of course also includes the hairpin on the head of the concubine, so that everyone can see what kind of hairpin the concubine is wearing on her head, and the album can also be sold for money, and this is also an opportunity given to them by Your Majesty, of course they have to repay Your Majesty's kindness." ”

"I see."

Wanli nodded suddenly, and couldn't help but think of the "Jinshi Interview Record", and said: "If they are still asked to interview at that time, will they give me another sum of money?" ”

"It's... Of course. Guo Dan said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise, even the grass people didn't expect this." ”

Wanli smiled proudly.

This emperor is by no means an ordinary person, he is quite business-minded, and if he wants to fool him in the future, he must first think of a perfect plan, and he can't be as casual as today.

Guo Dan didn't get carried away, in fact, he had always paid attention to the other party's every move, and said: "This is just a hairpin, there are many, many more, including earrings, service, jade pendants, and so on." Even if each businessman gives two or three thousand taels, then this sum of money must at least reach tens of thousands of taels, plus other aspects, 100,000 taels should be no problem, and from the calculation method of our merchants, it is necessary to add the previous cost, because these were originally to spend money, and now there is no money, then this is also considered a profit, and the positive and negative calculations are estimated to reach 200,000 taels. ”

"Two hundred thousand taels?"

Wanli's eyes flashed when he heard this, thinking that not long ago, he was playing peek-a-boo with Xu Mengxi, an old man, for the 20,000 taels, and nominally borrowed, but now the young talent in front of him not only looks young and delicate, but also this opening is 200,000 taels, and it is not borrowed, which makes him can't help but dislike Xu Mengxi.

Look at the courage of others, your old man should go to the ground as soon as possible.

Wanli, who had already understood, thought seriously for a while, and suddenly asked: "If I still want to use the hairpin made in the palace, then can't I earn this money?" ”

Generally speaking, what he does in the palace is naturally the best, and he disregards the opposition of the minister, and he also wants to canonize that Zheng Guifei as the imperial concubine, which proves that he loves that Zheng Guifei very much, so of course he wants to give her the best, Wanli is very generous in terms of women.

His meaning was simple, I wanted to be luxurious and earn money at the same time.

Guo Dan said: "That's not it, as long as Your Majesty allows their names to be added, it means that the Moumou Jewelry Store and the workshops in the palace are jointly built, so that the money can be earned." ”

This is actually the title of the post-secular name.

That's fine.

Wanli's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he looked forward to it: "Then do they also provide gold and silver jewelry for making hairpins?" ”

Although the folk gold, silver and jewelry are not as good as those in the palace, in the eyes of Brother Wanli, it must be given for nothing, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is also meat, which shows how diligent and thrifty Brother Wanli is.

It seems that this emperor is not only clever, but also very greedy, and does not spare even this little bit of gold, silver and jewelry, I admire you. Guo Dan actually had a feeling of sympathy in his heart, nodded and said: "This is natural, since it is cooperation, this craftsman is from the palace, then this gold, silver and jewelry naturally has to be produced by them, otherwise this cooperation will not be able to talk about it." ”

Wanli smiled so much that his eyes were gone, and he also had a feeling of sympathy, this kid really understood me too well, and asked even more expectantly: "Then in addition to this method, do you have any other methods?" ”

"Other than that........" Guo Dan pondered for a moment and asked, "If Your Majesty is willing to have fun with the people, then you can also earn a lot of money to reduce the burden on the treasury." ”

After all, people are emperors, no matter what the real purpose is, they must add a sentence ---- reduce the burden on the country.

Wanli was stunned and said: "Happy with the people? ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Take the grass people as an example, if you are lucky enough to participate in such a grand ceremony, even if it is from a distance, the grass people are willing to spend a thousand taels, and they can have several opportunities in life, and the grass people believe that many people are the same as the grass people." ”

In simple terms, it's all about spending money on tickets.

Wanli reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "What a good one to have fun with the people, of course I am willing to have fun with the people." ”

This statement, he thinks it is too wonderful, it can well cover his heart of accumulating money, but Guo Dan, this kid, understands him too well, and helps him think about everything, and this heart-to-heart pity is immediately sublimated and becomes hateful.
