267 Price Reduction
The night breeze is blowing and the lights are flickering.
Xixiu waited outside the door for a long time, but she never waited for Emperor Chengtian's will to return to the harem, she urged again and again, and Lu Xin was alarmed to go out again.
"Grandpa Lu, when will Your Majesty return to the palace?" Her face was extremely ugly.
Lu Xin was also bitter, he was just making a report, and before he could speak, Chen Qian arrived, and the emperor naturally gave priority to summoning Lord Shoufu, "Miss Xixiu, why don't you go back and let Zhaoyi rest first?" Your Majesty is afraid that there will be a while. ”
Xixiu's handkerchief was deformed, she thought to herself, this Chen Qian is too ignorant, he has been watching three shifts in the middle of the night, and he has come to His Majesty to discuss state affairs! Not at all for the sake of the dragon body.
Although he thought like this, he didn't show it, and only said, "Grandpa Lu, who is that girl who just went in?" ”
"Miss Xixiu, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it is better for you to ask less, so as not to cause trouble to Zhaoyi." Lu Xin's face turned cold, can you also inquire about the affairs of the Xuanzheng Palace?
Xixiu saw Lu Xin's face, and her heart was very unhappy, but when she thought that he was someone next to the emperor, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and blessed her body and said: "Please also inform Your Majesty that our Zhaoyi Niangniang is waiting for him." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Lu Xin couldn't wait for her to leave quickly, and answered quickly.
At this time, in the palace, Chen Qian was discussing the pricing of the cake with Emperor Chengtian, "The price is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it." These are Chen Qian's words.
Emperor Chengtian nodded, he, like Chen Qian, didn't like to eat cakes very much, but the women in the harem liked it, and the cake for the queen mother's birthday last time was graced down by her, and the women ate it, and they sent palace people out to order it.
"Miss Wan, see if you can lower the price." Chen Qian asked Wan Chaoyun.
Wan Chaoyun didn't want to reduce it in her heart, it was just that things were scarce and expensive, and the price was reduced not long after it came out, so what else did she have to make money?
"My lord, milk is expensive, and it's not easy to make cakes......"
"The northern Xinjiang tribes will pay tribute to tens of thousands of catties of milk every year, and I still dislike that milk is useless, but to make some shortbread, if you are too little, the court can sell it to you." Emperor Chengtian immediately answered, look, the silver is not so difficult to earn, I don't understand why the household is crying poor all day long.
Wan Chaoyun: "......"
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, is it? After all, it is a tribute from the northern Xinjiang tribes, and you sell it directly to the courtiers, will it make them unhappy? ”
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Chengtian waved his hand, "Could it be that Miss Wan refuses to lower the price?" ”
"Your Majesty, isn't the courtier's for our benefit? How could you refuse. ”
"That'll be fine." He nodded.
Wan Chaoyun was speechless, and said cautiously when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the northern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the milk is transported to the capital, can it still be used?" ”
"Yes, I don't know how they did it, it's been preserved for a long time."
Wan Chaoyun: The back road of "......" was blocked and uncomfortable.
"Then Your Majesty, can milk be sold cheaply to courtiers?" Since you have to accept the milk that used to be too much for the concubines to bathe the concubines, then the price has to be said well, after all, no matter how you deal with it, Emperor Chengtian is the beneficiary, and she is not.
Emperor Chengtian laughed in his heart, this wealth fan, Wuweiju couldn't lose anything to her.
"Market price."
Wan Chaoyun was speechless, "Can it be cheaper?" ”
"No matter how cheap it is, how can I explain to the Northern Xinjiang Tribes?" He played tricks.
Wan Chaoyun: "......" She really wants to remind her that the pastry shop is also yours!
"Your Majesty, Miss Wan, it's better to do this, Miss Wan made it herself, it's the original price, and the other bakers make it cheaper, how about it?" Chen Qian answered, he thought that this arrangement was for Wan Chaoyun to step down.
"Yes." Emperor Chengtian nodded immediately, after all, those sensational cakes were made by Wan Chaoyun, they were as delicate as works of art, and it was common sense that they were more expensive, and she was the owner of the Wuxu Trading House, and the status of those bakers was much lower, and their skills were not exquisite enough.
"What does Miss Wan think?" Chen Qian still wanted Wan Chaoyun's consent.
Wan Chaoyun was helpless in her heart, the two bigwigs forced her to lower the price, what else could she do?
"The courtiers have no opinion, I will notify you tomorrow." She answered.
"Now that the price of the cake has been reduced, this excerpt is over, let's talk about the contract now, Miss Wan, this contract is not comparable to the deed of sale, aren't you afraid that the people below are not loyal enough?" Emperor Chengtian asked curiously.
Wan Chaoyun grinned, and Cheng Zhu asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty is worried that Lord Chen is not loyal enough?" ”
This was a sensitive issue, but Chen Qian looked calm, and he didn't seem to be worried about being suspicious of Emperor Chengtian.
Indeed, Emperor Chengtian now trusts Chen Qian extremely much, and he doesn't have to kill him like he did back then, and the two get along extremely well.
"Naturally, I'm not worried." He said with great certainty.
"Why should the courtiers worry that their subordinates are not loyal enough? There is no need to suspect people, there is no suspicion in employing people, and moreover, the courtiers will also set up many rules and regulations to restrain their subordinates and set up supervision departments, so they are not afraid that they will not work well. ”
"Your Majesty, what Miss Wan means is that in the future, you don't need to sign a deed of sale to work in Wuxu Commercial Bank, and every guy eats according to his ability, so that many people have the opportunity to work."
Emperor Chengtian fell into deep thought when he heard this, he did think of this layer, the huge business house needs countless talents, and many people are naturally angry at the rich monthly money offered by the business house, but because of their identity, they miss the opportunity to display their talents.
Once this contract is recognized by the imperial court, there will be many social talents to join, such as Jinshi and Juren, who have been on the list but have been filled, and for example, there are people in the family who are studying and have no income, and can only rely on sewing to subsidize the family's women, or those who have business talent but no start-up capital.
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chengtian said: "Aiqing will ask the cabinet to draw up a corresponding bill tomorrow, and it will be officially promulgated nationwide after I have seen it." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wan Chaoyun sincerely thanked her, and once the contract was recognized by the imperial court, she would be able to carry out the next deployment.
"It's not early, Your Majesty, you rest early, and the minister will retire first." It's the third watch, and if you don't leave, it's going to be dawn.
Emperor Chengtian suddenly felt tired when he heard this, and he sat for too long, and his waist ached, "You also rest earlier, I remember, you are not much younger than me." ”
"Yes." Chen Qian replied.
Wan Chaoyun also bowed and retired, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body." ”
In her previous life, Emperor Chengtian didn't feel sorry for her, and she still respected this conscientious emperor.
"Let's get out of the palace." Emperor Chengtian helped his waist and said.
"Yes." Wan Chaoyun took a deep look at him who was tired, and then turned around with Chen Qian and walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace.
In the hall, Lu Xin helped Emperor Cheng Tian to get up, lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Zhaoyi Niangniang just sent Xixiu to find you, and the slave maid saw that Lord Chen was there, so she didn't disturb you, and asked Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
"What's wrong with her?" Emperor Chengtian asked with concern.
"Say Zhaoyi is waiting for you to eat." Lu Xin secretly sweated for himself, it seems that His Majesty is still quite special to Li Zhaoyi.
"Drive the Yuming Palace." Emperor Chengtian said. ”
