Chapter Fifty-Eight: Blessings and Misfortunes Are Planned to Be Paved
After receiving it from Ling Jun's hand, the re-copied city map, Shen Hongxue's brows tightened unconsciously.
Three of these clearly marked shops that should not be purchased have been bought by him, and two of them are "too congested on the road to keep customers".
"Why is this road congested?"
"When is the congestion time?"
Shen Hongxue didn't know that this city map was not drawn by Ling Jun.
He pursed his lower lip, and after carefully observing the surroundings of the two shops, his doubts became more serious than when he had not seen them.
Roads extend in all directions.
Moreover, there is no one that is narrower than the road next to it, which is really impossible to think of a reason for congestion.
At Liu's behest of lightness, in front of Shen Hongxue, Ling Jun still pretended to be recovering from a serious illness.
After all, Gu Luochen's injury still needs to be carefully recuperated for several months before he can truly recover to "unharmed", and before that, he needs to be his "barrier" to protect him.
Staring at the shop pointed by Shen Hongxue, looking left and right three times back and forth, Ling Jun was considered to have a bamboo in his chest, he stretched out his right index finger, pointed to the street next to the shop, and explained to Shen Hongxue.
"Except for some special days, Yanjing only opens the Qinglong Gate and the Vermilion Bird Gate."
"This road is the only way to connect Qinglongmen and Xishi."
"Civilians living in the eastern suburbs of the city would enter the city early in the morning, and go to the West Market through this road to sell their own fruits and vegetables.
"And this road is the only way to connect Suzaku Gate and Nishishi."
"Civilians living in the southern suburbs of the city would enter the city at noon to sell silk, skins and livestock, and in the evening they would return home by this road."
"Moreover, in addition to the material market, there is also a human market in the west of the city."
"Many people who live in the city and want to make a living for themselves will also go to Xishi through this road."
Speaking of this, Ling Jun paused slightly, raised his head, and looked at Shen Hongxue, who was silent and staring at the city map in deep thought.
He was the third prince of the Ming Dynasty.
It is also an "iron-blooded merchant" who controls two-thirds of the trade routes from the northwest to the Central Plains, and makes the robbers along the road fearful.
In terms of business talent, he is not inferior to Shen Hongxue.
He always felt that he was just not lucky enough to have an elder who was enlightened enough to guide him.
"Things may not be as bad as you think."
After pondering for a moment, Shen Hongxue's eyes suddenly lit up.
He raised his head with a smile on the corner of his lips, looked at Ling Jun who was sitting across the table from him, stretched out his right index finger, and gently tapped the city map.
"How?"
Xu is a rebellious mentality, and Ling Jun has always maintained his enthusiasm for running a business, which gave Emperor Longqing a headache.
He pursed his lower lip flap and looked at it again, on the city map he drew with his own hands, he carefully observed the two places, which had been bought by Shen Hongxue, but because of the poor traffic, there was a shop that was difficult to operate.
There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the master is the teacher.
Although when he was young, he was almost not educated by Emperor Longqing, who was a father, but under the words and deeds of General Jiang, Ling Jun knew how to respect teachers and be polite and honest more than his other brothers and sisters.
"Woe and blessing depend."
Shen Hongxue smiled and stretched out her hand, pointing to the street next to the shop, which led to the West Market, and then nodded to the other two shops connected to the shop.
"I plan to buy the other two shops and connect with this shop."
"Here, people are transferred to the company to purchase fruits, vegetables, meat and other goods that come in and out every day from farmers, select and bundle them on the spot, and send them here for classification and placement."
"The goods are priced on the merits, and the good and the bad are sold at the same price."
"Contact the inns and restaurants in the city, rich families, famous families, and deliver to the door."
"Every evening, the remaining winning goods are sold at a discount, and the redundancy of the shop is cleared so that it can continue the next day."
"There are only two shopkeepers and a few tally counting guys in the shop, and the rest of the staff are hired casual workers to pay how much they do."
What ordinary people want is nothing more than the sale of goods and their daily gains.
If they can be busy all day long, they may not be able to produce all the output, only go to one place, they will empty it all, save most of the remaining half of the day, and engage in a job that pays for their work, Ling Jun believes that even if the price given by Shen Hongxue is slightly lower than the market price, there are many people who are willing.
Speaking of the mansions, those who need to buy fruits, vegetables and meat every day.
People who specialize in purchasing need to go out early in the morning and wander around the markets to bargain for more "oil and water".
If Shen Hongxue can hold these people, it will be equivalent to saving these people "trouble", and at the same time, it will be stable, and the daily goods will be out once and for all.
For such a business that is making money every day, there must be absolutely tough people to support this shop, and the Three Princes' Mansion, cough, to be exact, is his Zhu Lingjun's "evil star" name, just right, suitable to be filled in this position.
This shop is Liu Qingxin's dowry.
As the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.
Even if those famous families living in Yanjing don't intend to give convenience to the Shen family, they have to look at his Zhu Lingjun's face, and they don't dare to make things difficult and put them on the bright side, and even more, they will take the initiative to come to the door and set up "cooperation matters" in order to have some interests with the Three Princes' Mansion.
A long time ago, his father, Emperor Longqing, had taught him a very solemn lesson, a son who first came to Yanjing and suffered a big loss because he was not good at people.
He remembers it well.
At that time, Emperor Longqing told him that in this world, there has never been absolute loyalty, if you want to live and live well, you have to learn, let yourself have a valuable life, and let yourself become a person who is enough to dare, cannot, and unwilling to give up.
Eliminate cheats, collect money, and win people's hearts.
said that it was "killing three birds with one stone", and they were all a little wronged by Shen Hongxue's good plan.
Shen Hongxue is really a business genius, which makes him sigh to himself, and he is really, sincerely, helping Liu to light his heart and gain a firm foothold in Yanjing.
Although Shen Hongxue even calculated him, he didn't feel angry at all.
He could see that Shen Hongxue's plan was a conspiracy to tie Liu Qingxin more closely to him, in case he abandoned Liu Qingxin from the beginning, but he ...... Tsk, this is for others, maybe it is the "arsenic" with the meaning of persecution, for him, it is simply a rare "honey" that is still difficult to ask for, he thanked Shen Hongxue, it is too late, how can he hesitate and entangle!
"Later, I'll have someone get you some money."
"Here, because it is not conducive to business, the shops are very cheap, before, I put some change lightly, put it here for safekeeping, and the money should be enough to buy this row of shops."
"Aiding and abusing" is such a thing, Ling Jun has always done it "sneaking away".
He smiled and stretched out his hand, patted Shen Hongxue's shoulder, and expressed his attitude to him, "I think that silk and the like can also be purchased, go back, and hire some weavers and embroiderers to come back, so that my weavers and embroiderers here can teach you a lesson, and the benefits should not be bad." ”
Of course, he would not tell Shen Hongxue how much money Liu Qingxin had "saved" with him, let alone tell Shen Hongxue what the "profit" he "discussed" with Liu Qingxin was.
"It's fine."
The dowry is tantamount to Liu's personal things.
Even if she enters the Three Princes' Mansion in the future, without her permission, no one will be able to get a cent and a half.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if in the future, Lingjun has three longs and two shorts, she will go back to the Shen family to support the elderly, and she and her children will also have wealth and wealth, so they will not have a hard time.
But the money "saved" in Ling Jun is not easy to say.
It doesn't have to be particularly ugly, that is, in the future, Lingjun's business will fail, and there will be no money to return Liu Qingxin's "capital", and it is impossible for Liu Qingxin to ignore the relationship between husband and wife, and sneer at him or accuse him angrily, so he can only accept his fate.
Shen Hongxue thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that Liu Qingxin had deposited all the money from the previous dowry "sale" in Ling Jun.
This...... There's nothing wrong with it, after all, she's a woman, and putting that lot of wealth in her hands is easy to cause people to worry about, and it's not okay to get into trouble!
"Later, I'll have the people who help people buy shops to talk about the shops."
"When you get all the deeds, you will find a craftsman to open it up and arrange the display."
Shen Hongxue also planned to open a shop selling fabrics and garments for Liu Qingxin in Yanjing.
Although the income is not as "rich" as other shops, it is better than that, and it is convenient to help her tailor her clothes, so as to avoid that when she walked around with the official eunuchs and family members in Yanjing, she fell into the hands of people because of the non-compliance of clothes and decorations.
Now, Ling Jun proposed to buy silk together, but it saved him the trouble of making a caravan to transport cloth from Jiangnan to Yanjing, and only needed to make people send the newly developed patterns and patterns from all over the country to Yanjing shop, so that they could be woven from local materials, and after she was done with satisfactory clothes, the rest was sold in the store.
"Put a few more shopkeepers and account rooms in that shop, and be sure to be honest."
"Go back, I tried to attract the old guys who supplied the palace to meet you by chance, and you acted on the opportunity."
In the palace, there are royal weavers and embroiderers.
However, silk and other things still need to be purchased from outside the palace.
If Shen Hongxue can use the financial resources of the Shen family to take all the silk in Yanjing and the surrounding areas, those imperial merchants who are "main" in the palace business will inevitably find him.
Some things should be done sooner rather than later.
When the livelihood of others is delayed, causing them to come to the door in a group to "rejuvenate the teacher and ask for guilt", it is better to strike first, throw the fishhook out early, and wait for some people with "prophetic knowledge" to come up first and seek cooperation, and then gradually divide the other camp, and finally, make it collapse and become vassals.
