Chapter 31 Business Thinking

Seeing that Li Shimin had a positive attitude towards Sun Xiangfu's views, Empress Changsun said, "In this way, the palace will license you to operate two shops, but these two shops are royal properties, and the accounts need to be sent to the harem. ”

'Okay?' 'Originally, it was the fruit in my pocket, and you took seventy percent of it with a word, can it be good?' Sun Xiangfu could only blame himself for owing his mouth, and said that the benefits were bigger, which attracted the heart of the eldest grandson queen, but no matter who he was, after being robbed and getting benefits, he was unhappy, but Sun Xiangfu still didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only bow down and say, "Weichen obeys." ”

After saying this, just as Sun Xiangfu was about to say goodbye again, Li Shimin said, "You can tell me how the other yamen of the Pastoral Supervision Office can make a profit, and I will be rewarded." ”

Finally mentioned the reward, Sun Xiangfu is a layman, thinking so in his heart, he organized his words, and then bowed his hand to Li Shimin, "Then Weichen will tell Your Majesty, first of all, the agricultural department of the head of the four divisions!" Controlling dozens of large and small Huangzhuang, no less than 90,000 acres of land, once effectively planned, the profitable space is very large.

A few days ago, the minister bought white stacks in the East Market, two hundred dollars a catty, three times more expensive than the same weight of copper coins, at this price, those Hu merchants often sell out of stock, if our Huangzhuang also grows white stacks, the value of its output can be dozens of times higher than planting millet and wheat, so why don't the Agricultural Division plant it?

Maybe they think that Bai Diezi is a product of Gaochang and the Western Regions, but they are all things that grow in the land, why can Gaochang plant it, but I can't plant it in Datang? Weichen believes that as long as the Department of Agriculture explores and learns, it will definitely be able to improve the level of planting and benefit the royal family.

There is also the Forestry Department, they can't just sit and wait for the inner palace to issue an order, there are so many businessmen in Chang'an City who deal in timber, why don't there be people from the Forestry Department! They have the largest forestry resources in Guanzhong, they can organize people to cut down and plant trees, in addition, some landscape trees, flower trees, are able to sell for money, and fruit trees, only need to plant a stubble, and then they can harvest fruits every year, sell them for a profit, and their profits should be far greater than that of the Fisheries Division.

Then there are the animal husbandry divisions, and they can't just be satisfied with supplying the palace. Large-scale, cluster breeding, will make the output more, but also open up trade routes, do business sales, where there is a lack of a kind of livestock, will inevitably lead to the rise in the price of this livestock, the animal husbandry department has huge resource reserves, everywhere are trading opportunities.

In addition, they can also recruit craftsmen to carry out deep processing of some self-produced furs, such as the pair of leather boots under the feet of Weichen, the price of the East Market is as high as the consistent money, and the Animal Husbandry Division has thousands of cow and sheep skins every year. ”

Sun Xiangfu said a lot, the more he said, the brighter Li Shimin and the eldest grandson's eyes will be, these business ideas, any entrepreneur in later generations understands, they will not waste any resources at hand, and the people of this era do not understand, most of them are getting by in the ground to eat, watching the sky to eat.

"That's right, I didn't expect that there would be so many possibilities for a single pastoral supervision office, so I will discuss it with several ministers in the DPRK and China to see if it is feasible."

Sun Xiangfu's words made Li Shimin suddenly open his mouth, and he was in a good mood, but the emperor did not make any decision easily, just being labeled by the ministers as competing with the people for profit was enough for the emperor to drink a pot, yes, Sun Xiangfu said that he really wanted Li Shimin to let people do it, and he didn't know when it happened.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu doesn't have that much heart to help Li Shimin do all these things, except for when he is happier when he studies crops, he is still lazy at other times, and now, he just looks at Li Shimin with a blank eye, waiting for the reward he just said.

However, the so-called reward made his jaw drop to the ground.

"In two days, it will be the Double Ninth Festival, and I want to go to the end of Nanshan with my ministers, and I will give you a ride."

Is this the reward?

Don't bring such a playful person! Are you sure you didn't want me to cook for you?

Sun Xiangfu shouted in his heart, roaring, but bowed with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen is retiring." ”

Sun Xiangfu, who left the Lizheng Palace, only had one action left, but in the Lizheng Palace, the conversation between Li Shimin and his wife continued.

"This kid does have some talent, and in time, it is more than enough to be a pastor."

Empress Eldest Sun changed her eyes and said, "I'm afraid that my heart is like a glutton, so Your Majesty won't dare to use it!" ”

"It's still Guanyin who understands me, although this kid is talented, he has a lot of his own ideas, and he is mercenary, not like Shubao Jingde and other humeral ministers, and his life can be given to me."

"Then Your Majesty's move is to collect that kid's heart?"

"That's nature, people's preferences are nothing more than those few, power, wealth, beauty, since this kid is willing to be my retainer, it proves that he is not strong in power, and he is good at the way of birth, he should not be short of wealth, only this beauty, is every young man can not refuse, he is over sixteen years old, unmarried, I will find him a daughter-in-law, so that he can discipline him, let him know what it means to regard the king as a father."

From Li Shimin's point of view, the first basic element is loyalty, but in Sun Xiangfu, a later generation, this quality is difficult to show, he will not look at the emperor with worship and god-like eyes, because he is not feudal superstition in his bones.

His starting point as an official is just to make his life in this world safer, the kind of intellectual superiority that is shown from time to time, a farmer like Sun Dali may not be able to see it, but a person like Li Shimin, who has read countless people and is good at sophistication and strategy, can see it clearly, so Li Shimin's evaluation of him is 'talented', but it needs to be carved, and before the sense of loyalty that regards the king as a father in his bones is not cultivated, use you, but will not use you much.

After being robbed and fooled, Sun Xiangfu was not in a good mood, and decided to find some food to make up for his injured heart, and it happened that the warehouse sent the fish caught today, and there were a lot of palm-sized crabs, so he asked his subordinate servants to load a basket and send it to the Yiguo Mansion, seeing that the sun was about to set, Sun Xiangfu led the horse and walked out of the imperial city.

Dongshi and the imperial city are only one street away, the question of the eldest grandson queen reminded Sun Xiangfu of the problem of the shop, now half a month has passed, it should be decorated! Just drop by and have a look.

The ancients also knew how to do business to get together, so, the fishery division under the aquatic products shop around are also selling aquatic products, at this time it is nearly dusk, most of the fish on the shop are sold short, each family is lifting water, cleaning the shop, the place where the fish is sold is fishy smell, especially the ancients did not know how to install the aeration device, in addition to the yellow eel loach, black fish such as fish with strong vitality, most of the scale fish are sold dead fish, think about it, a few pounds of large live fish, with a bamboo basket, or with branches to wear gills, how long can you live? It will definitely not be more than an hour.

The shop of the Fisheries Division is not difficult to find, and after Sun Xiangfu walked in, he found that Xiong Tingzhong was also there.

"My lord came, and I heard from the craftsman that the shop had been fully renovated, so I rushed to inspect it."

"Well, I just came out of the palace, so I stopped by to take a look, how about it? All kinds of objects have been built according to my previous requirements! ”

It is said that it is an object, in fact, most of the aquatic products in the shop are wooden water tanks, if it was before, more than ten craftsmen only need a day or two to get it all right, but Sun Xiangfu's design is a little fine, so that the craftsmen are not sure.

In fact, it is not a high-tech product, it is to install a device in each water tank that uses water pressure to automatically circulate water and play a role in increasing oxygen.

This thing is made by those masters when Sun Xiangfu was bored in the volcano video, and the materials that are generally needed are two mineral water bottles, a pipe, through a subtle link, so that the water pressure can continue to press the water out of the pipe, and then flow into the mineral water bottle at the bottom, now there is no mineral water bottle, so it can only be replaced by a bamboo tube, the pipe is a reed soaked in hot water after softening, with an iron bar through, fixed into the desired shape and then dried, not very used, after a few days to change one, It was to create some of these aeration devices that the craftsmen took so long.

"It's all built, the adult's idea is really exquisite, after testing, the water tank with this live water pipe can ensure that the fish in the wooden box do not die within a day, and if there are not many fish placed, it can last longer." Xiong Tingzhong replied.

"Well, one day is enough time to sell the fish. In the next few days, we will first take the fish that are not easy to hoard and breed to the store and sell them! Remember to make accounts every day, and seventy percent of the income in these two shops goes to the queen. ”

"Seventy percent to the queen?" Xiong Tingzhong was a little stunned, but after a while, his expression also returned to natural, once the palace opened his mouth, they petty officials couldn't resist at all, and it was useless to say more.

"Before the business, ask the servants to learn the ability to weigh and settle accounts, which is the royal livelihood, do things to be kind, so as not to lose the royal dignity, in addition, for the big customers, you can take orders, do some door-to-door delivery services, our tank truck can ensure the freshness of the fish, than their domestic servants with baskets to load more."

When it comes to doing business, Sun Xiangfu only needs to use a little social experience of later generations to be able to throw away a few streets in this era, and now Chang'an can eat fish, not all of them are those big households, and the big families have a characteristic that the walls are high and the courtyard is deep, and the population is large, and they will not buy a little bit when they buy something, and if they have a better one, they will not choose inferior goods.

Don't underestimate a door-to-door delivery service, it can easily make these two shops occupy more than half of the sales market in Chang'an City, of course, businessmen are smart, it is estimated that it will not be long before this set will be learned by the aquatic operators next door, before being imitated by them, the sales in the shop can be expanded to the maximum, stabilized, is a victory.
