Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen understood it, in the final analysis, it was because although Xie Zihua was talented, he was also extremely strict with his colleagues and officials.

Bi Ziyan was recommending, but he was afraid that Xie Zihua would bring his temper to the Shandong Division when he was in the Daming Royal Industrial and Commercial Bureau in the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau.

It may be capable, but it is not necessarily suitable for business development.

But Zhu Youzhen has a different opinion: "Flaws are not hidden, such a character may not be suitable for business, but being a competent housekeeper, I'm afraid it is not a problem, the Ming Supply and Marketing Bureau is destined to be a very special new style of the imperial court..." So I think you can try this Xie Zihua you selected! ”

Of course, the Ming Supply and Marketing Bureau is special, and the special is that it is not only established by the imperial court to directly conduct commercial trade with foreign countries.

More importantly, it was also responsible for the control of other imperial court properties in various parts of the country.

In this way, the power of this supply and marketing bureau can be said to be quite large, with such great power, but it is also a bureau that can do business.

Then it will be easier to breed corruption.

Therefore, letting a court official like Xie Zihua go to the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau to serve may play too much of a commercial role to a certain extent.

But Zhu Youzhen is equally acceptable.

After all, the main role of the Supply and Marketing Bureau is to facilitate Zhu Youjian to stabilize and monitor different prices across the country, through the means of the imperial court.

For example, the east and west of low-cost areas are sold to high-price areas at a more affordable price.

The Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau can obtain certain benefits in this, but it also plays a very important role in stabilizing the prices of a place.

As a result, Xie Zihua was transferred back from the Shandong Provincial Government by Zhu Youzhen's will.

And just arrived in the capital.

Zhu Youjian was not in a hurry to summon him, so he directly instructed him to report to the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau that had just hung his brand, and then go to the store of Zhili Soap in the capital for a few days.

Xie Zihua also didn't ink, and his ability was instantly revealed.

Relying on dozens of officials supported by the Ming Imperial Court, they directly relied on the assigned compound as the base of the office and started the work of the Ming Supply and Marketing Bureau.

And worked as a buddy in the Naoli soap shop for a few days.

Xie Zihua understood Zhu Youzhen's intentions, so he instantly understood the meaning of the imperial court, that is, while promoting industry through commercial behavior, it is also necessary to use commercial means to smooth the gap between the price imbalances around the Ming Dynasty.

So Xie Zihua found Wang Min for the first time, and the first sentence made the latter, the prefect, stunned for a long time.

"Lord Wang, this official is the new second-grade waiter of the Royal Supply and Marketing Bureau, but a few days ago, this official was doing chores in the soap shop in Zhili... Now there's one thing I want to discuss with you, and that's to sell me a batch of soap, and I want a big chunk! ”

"This..."

Wang Min was a little reluctant, after all, the current output of this Zhili soap, just in Jingshi, there will be a phenomenon of out of stock from time to time, how can he be willing to sell the large pieces that have not been divided to others.

He excused himself and said: "Since Lord Xie has been helping in the Jingshi's Zhili soap shop for a few days, he naturally knows how much soap is sold in the Jingshi's store every day, and now the production capacity of Zhili soap is really not enough, so I can't do anything!" ”

Xie Zihua shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, this account is not calculated like this, now the construction of your soap factory is also changing with each passing day, sooner or later the output will come up, the market in Beijing is limited after all, if you can't open up new markets in time, when the time comes, the yamen across the country will be the first to imitate, how should you deal with it?" ”

Wang Min was stunned for a moment and said, "Imitate me? ”

Then he exclaimed, "Why should they imitate my soap and have the ability to create a new industrial product themselves!" Isn't it possible to see that people make money and want to get a piece of the pie? ”

Xie Zihua pressed his hand and said: "So I'm here, the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau will naturally build a commercial network for supply and marketing across the country in the future, and you will now hand over a batch of soap to me to sell to various places, although the amount is not large, but when the business network is established and perfected in the future... No matter how much soap is produced by the yamen in other places, this Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau will only sell you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Min's little abacus began to crackle.

After thinking for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "This official will believe you once, and within three days, I will gather about 20,000 pieces of soap for you!" ”

Who would have thought that 20,000 pieces of soap could satisfy Xie Zihua's appetite.

I saw him shaking his head and saying, "Lord Wang.. That's not enough! According to me, at least 100,000 yuan! ”

When Wang Min heard this, he suddenly said like a fried cat: "Lord Xie! Do you know how much soap is produced per day in today's soap workshops? Lakh? Twenty-five thousand at most! ”

"Eighty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Sixty thousand is all right!"

"Thirty-five thousand at most, I don't have one more!"

"Deal!"

The newly established Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau did not focus on the first development of Jingshi, and Xie Zihua set his sights on Shanxi.

The establishment of the Ming Royal Mining Bureau has gradually made the development of Shanxi coal mines have a vigorous development trend, and a large number of officials have been transferred to Shanxi to take up posts.

"For the demand for soap, Wang Min still sees it too shallowly... At present, the place where soap is most needed is clearly Shanxi! ”

Taiyuan Mansion, Shanxi.

Because of coal mining, the most prosperous city in the capital of Shanxi in Daming has become even busier, but on the streets today.

A shop that was different from all the usual shops was opened.

I saw that it was written in gilded letters, "Shanxi Mansion Market of Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau!" ”

Under Xie Zihua's arrangement, not only soap was used as a commodity, but even agricultural products from different surrounding areas were mobilized by Xie Zihua.

Grain, vegetables, fruits, and even an oil-paper umbrella sold in the grocery store on weekdays can all be found in the current Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau market.

Such a picture has already had the prototype of a supermarket in later generations.

Behind this, Zhu Youzhen didn't give Xie Zihua any pointers, until a period of time later, Zhu Youzhen had a casual question.

"Say. . . What has Xie Zihua from the Supply and Marketing Bureau been doing lately..."

At this time, Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, beckoned his subordinates and brought the folds sent by Dongchang.

opened his mouth to respond to Zhu Youzhen and said: "Xie Zihua.. In Taiyuan, Shanxi, a Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau market was opened to sell different materials shipped to Shanxi from all over the country..."
