Chapter 1787 - Maritime trade routes can be opened
From Yidie's expression, Cao Shuo could see that she was talking about sanitary napkins.
"Is the incense powder any good?" didn't ask her what was the best thing to use, Cao Shuo diverted the topic to incense powder.
"Works." Yidie said: "The incense powder used by the ladies is different from the usual, and I have recently bought it from there. ”
"No wonder I smelled the familiar smell when I just entered the house." Cao Shuo said: "It will not be long before more women's products will be delivered to the store. You'll have more options than that. ”
"Really?" Yidie's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask Cao Shuo.
"Presumptuous." Zhu Ao glared at her: "Could it be that Cheng Gongzi will lie to you?" ”
After being drunk by Zhu Ao, Yidie realized that she was out of shape, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said: "The slave and maid are about to bump into the son for a while, please don't blame." ”
"You're just asking the question of concern, what's the sin?" Cao Shuo said: "The things in this store are indeed coming from my house. It was the ladies who took out the recipe, gave it to the maids to make, and then sent it to the store to sell. ”
Yidie lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
She was thinking in her heart that since the opening of the store, it has indeed received a lot of customers, and the quality of the things sold is not bad, but there are still people who wonder if the things are spread from the palace of the five states.
Cao Shuo's words undoubtedly testified to the shop.
She will be able to show off in front of her sisters in the future, saying that it is the king of Wuzhou who personally admitted that the things in the store were passed down from his house.
If nothing else, this news alone was enough for her to show off in front of her sisters for many days.
After getting the news he wanted from Yidie, Cao Shuo didn't ask anything more, and kept looking at the scene in the market.
People came and went in the market, both men and women.
Some of these people go to restaurants, while others wander around or go into shops to buy things.
After watching for about half an hour, Cao Shuo greeted Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao: "It's time for us to go." ”
The two of them followed him and turned away.
Yidie sent them to the door, bowed and watched them leave.
Cao Shuo went downstairs and was greeted by the steward who had already learned that he was leaving.
"Childe." The steward asked, "Is Miss Yidie's room okay with the market?" ”
"Shouchun also has a street that operates all night." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "But I don't think that's enough." ”
"Not enough?" The steward asked in surprise, "Dare to ask Childe, what do you plan to make it look like?" ”
"It's best to make the whole of Shouchun a city that never sleeps." Cao Shuo said: "At least half of the city is still operating at night. ”
"The whole Shouchun is too big." The steward said: "Although more than half of the shops in Shouchun City are from Lingyun Pavilion, there are also some other merchants who run their own businesses. We can't interfere with these shops. ”
"I didn't let you meddle with anyone else's." Cao Shuo said: "Just take care of the industry that belongs to Lingyun Pavilion, you also know that I have been short of money recently and am in urgent need." Before the tax began to be collected, the burden on Lingyun Pavilion's shoulders was not light. ”
"Childe has said that it is a heavy burden, how can I think it is light." The steward replied: "Childe rest assured, as long as Lingyun Pavilion is here, he will not let Childe worry about money." ”
"That's the best." Cao Shuo nodded.
He was about to leave, but the steward hurriedly said, "Childe, I have one thing that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"You say." As long as the manager of Lingyun Pavilion said that there was something, it must be related to making money, and of course Cao Shuo would not let him shut up.
"Our business is getting bigger and bigger now, and I'm wondering if Childe can allocate a few ships for us?" The steward said, "Whether it's a sea ship or something else, as long as it can load and unload goods." ”
"You're going to open up a trade route on the water?" When the steward talked about using the boat, Cao Shuo asked.
"Exactly." The steward replied: "In many cases, it is much easier to walk by water than by land, and we already have a ferry, if we can have a few more boats......"
"The boat will do." Cao Shuo said to him without thinking about it: "You will have not only a boat that sails on inland rivers, but also a ship that can go to sea. But I have a request for you. ”
"Childe just tells us what he wants us to do." The steward said, "I will make sure that it is in order." ”
"I can still trust your skills." Cao Shuo said: "What I want you to do is to take more sea routes, even if you get to Jiaozhou in the south, you have to continue to move forward, find other powerful countries, trade with them, and bring back some of the specialties they have." If we come across something particularly good, it's best to bring it back with the seeds, and once we've cultivated it, we won't have to send big ships overseas for those things in the future. ”
"I don't know what Childe said?" The steward asked.
"Condiments, spices, fruits, or whatever." Cao Shuo said: "As long as you see something that is being used by the locals and is also practical, bring it back to me." ”
"I see." The steward said, "Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely arrange for people to keep an eye on this." ”
Nodding to him, Cao Shuo turned around and left with Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao.
Walking out of Lingyun Pavilion and leaving this street that had been operating all night, Deng Zhan asked Cao Shuo: "It's useless for Lingyun Pavilion to ask for a boat, how could Gongzi agree to him?" ”
"Nothing to use?" Cao Shuo said: "How do you know that there are merchant ships in this world, I have long said that the world is very big, so big that you can't imagine it." There are also many things in the world that we do not have in the Central Plains, just like in the past, there were no pomegranates and grapes in the Central Plains, and it was only introduced from the Western Regions that the Han Dynasty dominated the world. ”
"Childe has a lot of knowledge." Deng Zhan said: "I never thought about this. ”
"You are going into battle with me to kill the enemy, and you don't need to know this." Cao Shuo said: "The so-called art industry has a specialty, and Lingyun Pavilion is engaged in selling goods to earn profits for us, so that they can go into battle to kill the enemy, I am afraid that they will turn around and flee before they see the enemy." Different people have to have different uses, and you can't think about them all. ”
"It's still Childe who speaks thoroughly." Deng Zhan smiled: "Saying this, I feel much more refreshed." ”
"It's not early, and after hanging around with me for so long, you two should go back and rest." Cao Shuo asked the two: "When you return to Shouchun this time, don't you two spend much time with your family?" ”
"We've been able to spend a lot of time with our families." Zhu Ao said: "Every night when Childe goes back, we all go home separately. Childe's willingness to keep us by his side is the creation of the two of us. Wei Tu and Cai Ji, the two generals, don't know how envious they should be. ”
