Chapter 179: The New Law of the Palace City

"If Miyashi needs to buy goods for the palace and wants to buy something, he will summon the merchants in this industry and ask them to make their own prices, and Miyashi will choose from them."

"Whichever store has the best quality and cheapest food, choose whichever one is cheaper."

"Naturally, the chosen firm will be awarded a special brand by the imperial court. The brand is a status symbol and represents the prestige of the royal offering. ”

"Once you get this brand, you get the status of a royal exclusive. Within a few years of that, Miyagichi only purchased this goods from this one firm. Wei Renshi explained: "The so-called exclusive supply means to provide exclusively. It represents a qualification, that is, the palace and the royal family need a certain kind of goods, and there are countless merchants who sell such goods, but the royal family only accepts the merchants who own this brand to provide, and does not buy from other merchants, which is for exclusive use. Hehe, the royal exclusive, it's also a well-known name when it goes out, isn't it? Anyway, if I go to buy the same thing, I will naturally trust the royal business name more, and the one that can be provided to the royal family will definitely be much better than the others before it will be chosen by the royal family. ”

"For example, the palace market needs to buy wine for the palace - many wineries want the name of royal exclusivity, for example, Wei Kee Distillery is the most beautiful and cheap, although the asking price is not the cheapest, but the wine is the best, and the price is actually not too expensive, the most suitable, the most cost-effective among the wineries, so the final choice of Wei Kee Distillery. The plaque was then awarded to Wai Kee Distillery. ”

"Wait......" Li Chun interrupted Wei Renshi: "Cost-effective...... What is the meaning? ”

"Uh......" Wei Renshi said smoothly, forgot to change the words, thought about it, and explained simply: "The king of the county can be understood as the relatively best quality at the same price, and the relatively cheapest price under the same quality, which is the most cost-effective." ”

"Wei Qing wants his own winery to be this royal winery?" Li Shi stared at Wei Renshi with a smile.

"The minister is just such an analogy, hehe......" Wei Renshi smiled: "But the wine of Wei Ji Distillery is indeed not bad, Your Majesty must have tasted the low-alcohol liquor produced by Wei Ji Distillery." ”

"Hmph, it's as cool as water, I remember." Li Shi said angrily at him.

"Your Majesty remembers! That's great! Wei Renshi smiled with a salivating face. After speaking, he continued: "Let's continue to say that in the next three years, the wine used in the palace will only be purchased from this Wei Ji Wine Factory. Naturally, the prices are all quoted before Wei Kee Distillery. As for Wei Kee Distillery, you can hang this sign and display it to promote your royal wine. There is a name for the exclusive supply of the royal family, and if other people buy wine, they will naturally think of this one first and give priority to his wine. ”

Wei Renshi said: "How much wealth does this alone bring? Although Wei Ji Distillery's offer to the palace market was low, all the losses were due to the fact that this name brought more customers, and not only earned back, but also earned more. Naturally, I won't be unhappy, and when the three-year period expires, I have to work hard to keep this name, in order to keep this sweetness, this name, I will naturally provide greater benefits for Miyagichi. ”

"The so-called lost east, harvested mulberry elm, this method uses such a reason." Wei Renshi finally said: "If you can make a big business outside, which one is not a shrewd person, you won't be unable to understand the benefits here." In this way, the purchase of things in the palace will not only cost less money, but will not cause public resentment, but will make those merchants enthusiastically come to do business with the palace. ”

Li Shi and Li Chun's faces were full of surprise, they really couldn't imagine that Jingren could still handle it like this!

When I think about it carefully, I also think that this is something that everyone can figure out, but why didn't I think of doing it?

Suddenly, I saw Li Chun frowning again, and asked, "This method is really novel, and after thinking about it, it is indeed such a reason." And it's not difficult to manage. It's just that businessmen pursue profits, so they naturally want to maximize their interests. Since they lowered the price in order to get this name, they will definitely have to reclaim it from other places. Once they have obtained the royal name, they turn around and double down on the other guests. For example, selling some good things to the palace, confusing the palace, and turning to those guests who go to this name, but selling the very bad things in the name of royal exclusive to get a huge profit. Wouldn't that also damage the royal credibility? ”

"Not bad! Chun'er is right. Li Shi nodded, glanced at Li Chun with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Chun'er is thoughtful, not bad." ”

Li Chun was praised and hurriedly bowed.

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Indeed, the concerns of the King of Guangling County are indeed possible. So of course, we also need to use some methods to avoid this situation - we can't ruin the name of the royal family, right? Therefore, there are still restrictions on the business that has obtained the title of royal exclusivity. For example, tell them that this brand is an honor and a responsibility. Asking for this brand means that he must sell good goods, must not be shoddy, cannot use the name of privilege to maliciously suppress other merchants, and cannot do things that damage the reputation of the royal family. Otherwise, we have the right to revoke this privilege at any time, to deprive him of his name, and to hold him accountable according to the law, and to punish him more severely, with an increase in the crime. He also has to call on the business community to squeeze him out and make him unable to do it. In this way, he did not dare to do anything to damage the royal face. Moreover, the imperial court's handling of some such unscrupulous businessmen can also win the popularity of the people and restore some people's trust in the imperial court and the royal family. ”

"Hahahaha......" Li Shi suddenly laughed.

Wei Renshi was puzzled and looked over.

Li Shi said with a smile: "It seems that Wei Qing has been concerned about the affairs of the palace market for a long time!" This method is not only comprehensive, but also easy to do. It certainly wasn't something that could be thought out so well in a moment. ”

For a long time?

Wei Renshi was stunned.

It was not long before Wei Renshi knew the notoriety of the palace market, and he had not personally experienced the palace market.

It's not a long time, but it's been a long time. The song "Charcoal Seller" has been sung for more than 1,000 years, and the bitter people who are "poor and well-dressed, worried about charcoal and wishing for the cold" have already been passed down for thousands of years.

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Renshi couldn't help but open his mouth and chant softly: "Sell charcoal, cut down and burn charcoal in the southern mountains." His face was full of dust and smoke, and his temples were pale and his fingers were black. What is the profit from selling charcoal? The clothes on the body eat in the mouth. The poor shirt is single, and the heart is worried and wishes for the cold. At night, a foot of snow outside the city came, and Xiao drove a charcoal cart to roll the ice ruts. The cattle are trapped and the people are hungry, and they are resting in the mud outside the south gate of the city. Who are the two riders? The yellow-clothed messenger is white-shirted. The hand put the paperwork in his mouth, and returned to the car and led the ox to the north. A cart of charcoal, more than 1,000 catties, the palace envoy will not regret it. Half a horse of red silk and a zhang of silk, tied to the head of the cow to fill the charcoal straight. ”

Li Shi's smile froze on his face.

Li Chun was also stunned.

Wei Renshi sighed and said, "When the minister first heard this poem, he also felt the sadness of the people in it, so he had this thought. ”

The poem ...... Who did it? Li Shi asked.

This time Wei Renshi was stunned.

Hasn't this poem been written by Bai Juyi yet? Or is it written out and no one knows?

I heard Liu Yuxi say that he served as a school scrivener, so he should already have a literary name.

Without waiting for Wei Renshi to answer, Li Shi sighed and said, "I'm wrong." Wei Qing, go down and draw up a detailed charter for me to write about this law. ”

[In the future, two changes will be guaranteed every day, three changes will be made daily, and the changes will be broken from time to time...... I hope you will support me a lot, the results are too bad, alas, I have pounced on a dog again. 】
