Chapter 309: It's a pity
If you want to make money, you don't want to stick to small profits, and you need to take a long-term view.
Shopkeeper Lin is a bold man, otherwise he would not have quietly sold cooking oil outside the city.
"I asked people to take a part of it and send it to Dongluan, it is said that the people of Dongluan want to call this oil fairy dew, which is only used by the royal family and nobles, and it is very cherished." When Shopkeeper Lin said this, his eyes showed a little narrowness: "Dongluan's dirt buns, I haven't seen any good things, and everything has to be a treasure." By packaging our edible oil, we can make a lot of money. ”
When Qin Xiang heard this, he was happy, and shouted in his heart: Come on, this damn contempt chain is black. If it is said that Xiyan and Xidi are equally powerful countries, then Dongluan must be caught between them and suffer from both sides.
Dongluan has a sparse area since ancient times, and the national strength is not strong, and the only characteristic is probably that the mountains are rich in gemstones.
Therefore, if other countries bring their own things to Dongluan, they will definitely be able to earn a lot of silver.
Because of the small number of people, there are fewer people engaged in all walks of life, and Dongluan is particularly dependent on 'imports'.
Neither Xiyan nor Xidi had ever thought of attacking Dongluan. There are people who open mines and collect gems for them, so why not do it?
In the past few years, because Dongluan is close to the west. The western extension has also provided a lot of convenience to Dongluan, and the relationship between the two countries is increasing day by day.
However, because the Dongluan people have never seen the world, they are often ridiculed by the people of Xiyan.
"Dongluan people are willing to spend money and are good customers. Transporting our things to Dongluan is more profitable than in our own country. Qin Xiang thinks that it is not bad to be able to ensure stable output. At least, the things she sold to Dongluan would not cause people to blush, and naturally she would not cause any trouble.
"That's what the owner said. Dongluan has endless gems and low prices. When you go back, you can buy a batch and ask a craftsman to make jewelry. ”
Qin Xiang didn't expect this, but as soon as he heard what Shopkeeper Lin said, he came to inspiration.
She can emulate some of the luxury brands of later generations and create a complete product chain. From clothing to cosmetics to bags and more.
The current brand positioning of the water side is stable, and a batch of gemstones is needed to create some special styles to stimulate consumption.
Invisibly, it is also necessary to distance the water side from Hunan Province.
"The owner?" Shopkeeper Lin didn't expect it, as soon as she casually said that Qin Xiang picked up the pen and paper and wrote hard, writing everything she couldn't understand.
"Are you familiar with Dongluan?"
Shopkeeper Lin nodded, "I have to go once or twice a year, and if the owner has any orders, just mention it." ”
Qin Xiang smiled and said as if relieved: "I will save some of Qin Ji's commodities suitable for sending to Dongluan on a cargo ship, and it will be up to you when the time comes." ”
Shopkeeper Lin was a little thorough, and couldn't help laughing: "Does the owner mean to forcibly occupy Dongluan's market?" But our products are currently sold in the north, not in the south. ”
"There's no rush to this. Although Dongluan people are dirt buns, who doesn't know that Dongluan is rich? Qin Xiang blinked his eyes and said complacently: "Outsiders know that the things that Dongluan people are willing to spend money to buy must be good." As long as we play the brand concept, we are not afraid that other countries will not buy it. ”
Qin Xiang couldn't help but think of Lin Zhan and the agreement he made with himself.
I don't know what this highness's brain is doing, and it's really strange.
Hearing that he has succeeded to the throne, shouldn't Sidi be tossed back and forth by a madman?
Qin Xiang thought about it, and felt a little sorry for the people of Xidi.
She had so much to do that she couldn't do in one day. I went to see the factory, and I went to see the account book, and I had to discuss the new products to be launched next with several other shopkeepers, in short, I was very busy.
By the time she could finally sit down and rest, it was already dark at night.
Qin Xiang washed up casually and went to bed.
……
In the capital, because of His Majesty's visit, the candles of Fengqi Palace were lit all night.
The emperor is old, but he doesn't have the spirit to favor the concubines, and this time he came to Empress Jiang just to be quiet.
Empress Jiang is as light as a chrysanthemum, and she is a scholarly family, so it is very comfortable to talk to her.
The emperor couldn't help but think of Empress Zhao, when they got married, they were not very young. But Queen Zhao is the most favored daughter of the Zhao family, willful and spicy. At that time, he also needed the assistance of the Zhao family, and he tolerated Queen Zhao a lot.
Now it seems that Queen Zhao's heart was really raised by him.
Otherwise, how could they want to get rid of him and let the Zhao family replace him.
"Your Majesty's complexion is much better today, but the elixir that the concubine asked you to give you has worked?" Empress Jiang poured a cup of hot tea for the emperor, and asked with concern: "If there is anything bad about eating, the concubine has to let people change the prescription." ”
"The effect is good. Since taking it, I have slept much more peacefully at night and have become more energetic. ”
The elixir that Empress Jiang offered was naturally not made by the Taoist Danfang, but was specially made for the emperor by inviting a powerful healer. Although it does not have the effect of prolonging life, it can also consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, especially for the old emperor who has a very poor spirit.
The old emperor naturally didn't take the pill at will, and he also found the imperial doctor to study it carefully and confirmed that it was non-toxic and indeed good for the body before he started taking it.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Guifei's reputation is not obvious, but there are some tricks behind her.
The old emperor is not afraid of what Jiang Guifei will do, she is a childless queen, and she only relies on the prince who is recorded in her name. If you want to kill the emperor, you really can't do it.
The old emperor naturally saw through this, so he was defenseless against Empress Jiang.
The ministers' suggestions are good, although the sixth child has been crowned the crown prince, but in the end his background is not obvious, and he does not have a strong maternal family.
Because of the prince's succession, the old emperor has abolished many concubines. A huge harem looks empty. It is not easy to choose a suitable candidate. And at this time, Jiang Guifei came into view. First, although the Jiang family is not famous, it is also quite profound. Second, the prince is recorded in his mother's name, and it looks good.
The old emperor's wishful thinking was properly played, and he didn't hide it, so he showed it to others in such a generous way.
Let the Jiang family behind Jiang Guifei understand why he wanted to make Jiang Guifei the queen. Even if he dies one day, Jiang Guifei is the queen mother, which is also beneficial to the Jiang family.
The prince's biological mother has passed away, and this dynasty is filial piety. As long as Empress Jiang does not die, she can enjoy all the glory in the future.
"What is Little Ten doing these days?" The old emperor asked casually.
Since Jiang Guifei was named the queen, she loved the daughter she gave birth to a little more. As a result, the little transparent of the tenth princess also officially entered the eyes of the emperor.
"What can she do, every day is either running around or playing crazy. She's not young anymore, and she's still like a child. Empress Jiang shook her head with a doting face: "I was told a few days ago that she should not marry in this life, and she should always stay by my side." But she's not too young, and she should have looked for a colt a long time ago. ”
The old emperor subconsciously asked, "Then why did you stay until now?" ”
When the words fell, I felt that it was inappropriate. Empress Jiang has a calm temperament and never competes. Although she is a noble concubine, she does not stand out in the palace. Otherwise, with her appearance, she should have been promoted to a favorite concubine a long time ago. Since she didn't mention it, it was Empress Zhao's problem.
Empress Zhao controls the harem and takes care of the prince and princess. Naturally, their marriage is also in their hands. If she didn't choose a horse for the tenth princess, how could Empress Jiang cross Queen Zhao.
Empress Jiang gave Empress Zhao eye medicine without a trace, and there was a wry smile on the corner of her mouth: "This is left to stay, not to mention when you are old, it is difficult to find a suitable candidate." ”
Hearing this, the old emperor looked unhappy: "My daughter is the treasure of the heavenly family, what is the difficulty." ”
Empress Jiang shook her head and sighed faintly: "This man of the right age has already been picked away, where can we get our turn." Is it possible to let Xiao Shi marry an old man? ”
The tenth princess and Empress Jiang are very similar in appearance, so the old emperor is not happy when he thinks that his baby daughter can only become an old girl because she has no suitable colt, and finally she will marry an old man.
"Xiao Shi's marriage should be handled, you see if there is a suitable candidate, I will call the shots."
This means that as long as there is something they like, regardless of whether the other party is engaged or not, the emperor will grant marriage.
Speaking of this, Empress Jiang no longer took Qiao, and said: "The concubine thinks that General Huwei is good, he is similar to Xiao Shi's age, and he is also handsome. Not to mention ......"
She blushed and said angrily: "Xiao Shi has admired big heroes since she was a child, and said that in the future, she will find a great husband like her father to be a concubine." ”
The word 'daddy' seems intimate, and the old emperor is happy.
"She thinks I'm extraordinary?"
"That's nature. Concubines don't lie, everything is from the bottom of their hearts. Xiao Shi is shy, he has always admired His Majesty, and he didn't dare to come forward to ask for favor, so he hid his admiration in his heart. Actually, she has a special admiration for His Majesty. ”
The old emperor was very useful, so he said: "Xiao Shi is a good one, but it doesn't look like a ......."
He muttered a few times, but Empress Jiang didn't listen.
"So the concubine thinks that General Huwei is suitable, and Xiao Shi also likes it. The concubine had eleven daughters in her life, but she was reluctant to suffer. Since she wants to choose, she naturally has to choose one she likes. ”
When the old emperor heard this, he was silent.
Empress Jiang pretended to be puzzled and wondered: "But Your Majesty thinks there is something wrong?" If so, then there is only ......"
"Do you know that Han Yunxiao already has a wife in his family." The old emperor glanced at her and asked casually.
Empress Jiang covered her red lips with a look of astonishment, "How could it be?" I sent someone to inquire, but I didn't hear that General Huwei got married. ”
The old emperor personally named Qin Xiang as the county lord, how could he not know that she was Han Yunxiao's wife. However, after Han Yunxiao resigned, he returned to the mountains and forests, and the matter of marrying a wife was not publicized, who would pay attention to this.
He thought for a moment and said, "According to the grade status, it is also compatible." ”
Empress Jiang shook her head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that he has already married a wife." As General Huwei, his wife must be a famous queen, everyone is beautiful. ”
The old emperor thought of the Qin clan, shook his head, and laughed: "It's far worse than Xiao Shi, but it's just a country woman who is a little smart." ”
Empress Jiang looked pityful, "With the identity of General Huwei, how could he marry a peasant girl?" If His Majesty had given me a marriage, I would have been able to get closer......"
She whispered, as if she hadn't seen the old emperor's thoughtful expression.
