When the will of the summoned is received.

Xie Zihua is busy in the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau, and every month the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau has to conduct a data inventory of the whole Daming range.

It not only contains the income data of the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau every month.

There is also an inventory of different goods, and the prices of goods throughout the country are closely monitored on weekdays, and if there is a regional price surge.

At this time, it is necessary for the supply and marketing bureau to adjust in a timely manner regardless of the cost.

Of course, this kind of commodity price adjustment is said to be for some important commodities related to the people's livelihood, such as the price of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, rice, noodles and other materials, will be monitored by the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau in real time.

Zhu Youzhen's summoning is not a trivial matter.

Rao is him, Xie Zihua is busy.

I can only put down my work as soon as possible and follow the little eunuch who came to pass the word to the palace for an audience.

This is the first time Xie Zihua has come to Dongnuan Pavilion.

When the emperor had several deliberations before, he was almost absent.

After all, the Shandong Division of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is too far away from Beijing, and the appointment of the new Supply and Marketing Bureau is just a will drawn up by the cabinet.

After receiving the order, I went directly to report.

There is no such thing as a saint.

"Minister... Xie Zihua meets the emperor.."

Zhu Youzhen met for the first time this courtier who has been expanding his influence in the Supply and Marketing Bureau in Daming in recent days.

The first impression is that I am young.

Compared with the officials above the court, Xie Zihua is one of the officials of the Ming Dynasty's new-style bureau that overtakes the fastest in the corner.

"Xie Aiqing, it's the first time I've seen you today... One person set up the shelf of the supply and marketing bureau, Aiqing made me very pleased. ”

Xie Zihua bowed down and said, "Emperor.. The minister did not dare to take credit, this Ming Supply and Marketing Bureau can have such a smooth start, and it is inseparable from the mutual assistance of the various new bureaus established by the emperor. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't refute it, after all, what Xie Zihua said was the truth.

After nodding, Zhu Youzhen spoke again: "According to Aiqing's view, if you want to better develop the Ming Supply and Marketing Bureau, what else does the imperial court need to do?" Or is there a lack of silver? ”

However, Xie Zihua shook his head.

opened his mouth and said: "Back to the emperor, if there is anything that can help the Supply and Marketing Bureau achieve greater development, it is to improve the traffic conditions of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Traffic?"

"That's right! Your Majesty, although the official roads in the Ming Dynasty have basically been changed to flat roads made of cement, although the roads are better than before, the people responsible for transportation are still livestock such as horses, and the animal power is limited, which will eventually hinder the development of the economy. ”

The vision of later generations told Zhu Youzhen that what Xie Zihua said now is true.

The improvement of traffic conditions is not only as simple as making the business of the supply and marketing bureau easier, only the way people travel continues to become more convenient, and only the speed of transportation is becoming faster and faster.

The flow of population in the Ming Dynasty will continue to evolve and accelerate.

The speed of population movement has accelerated, and Daming's economy is destined to improve as a result.

Zhu Youzhen nodded.

He deliberately said: "I am a little puzzled, why does this limited animal power limit economic development? ”

But Xie Zihua continued.

"Your Majesty, this limited animal power will lead to limited coverage of commodities, for example, all kinds of crops produced in Guangdong can still be transported farther, but what about some fruits? You can't leave the area at all, because it won't take long for it to rot and deteriorate. ”

"But if the traffic conditions can change, then these problems will be solved."

Zhu Youzhen thought of another thing.

So he said to Xie Zihua: "The current improvement of transportation will not change much in the short term, but Aiqing can look forward to Jingshi going to Tianjin Port." ”

Xie Zihua was stunned, although he didn't understand what Zhu Youzhen meant, he still hurriedly replied yes.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Youzhen kept mentioning Xie Zihua in the chat.

Visions and business methods from later generations.

Xie Zihua was greatly impressed, and said: "Your Majesty.. You're not in the mall, but everything you say is like you've been immersed in it for decades. ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and thought in his heart.

If all the commercial methods of later generations were moved to Daming, it is estimated that the people of Daming would be dazzled, not to mention anything else, just the sales skills when selling goods.

What buy one, get one free, discounts, lucky draws, big giveaways, even if it's Huanghe's Jiangnan Leather Factory?

Aren't they all all various sales methods in later generations?

"I will leave the matter of the Supply and Marketing Bureau to you with confidence, but you should not put all your thoughts on selling goods, you should pay attention to the people's livelihood is the key."

As soon as Zhu Youzhen spoke, he heard Xie Zihua say another sentence: "The minister thinks that the tobacco of the Ming Dynasty."

"What's wrong with tobacco?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Zihua said: "Now Daming's tobacco is only used by the Daming Tobacco Control Bureau and the Daming Tobacco Company, and the minister has also smoked this magical leaf... The minister felt that it was promising, and of course, as far as the minister knew, the court was constantly preaching about the dangers of smoking. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, of course smoking is harmful.

But Xie Zihua continued: "Dan Chen found that this magical leaf has a certain effect of relieving fatigue after smoking, and many overseas red-haired merchants in coastal port cities like to buy a large amount of tobacco leaves in Daming, not to mention the tobacco shredded after Daming roasting..."

Xie Zihua's meaning when he said this is actually obvious, that is, tobacco is undoubtedly a good thing, of course, how to look at it and how to use it.

Since overseas businessmen can accept this leaf.

That doesn't mean that Daming can plant a large area, strictly control it internally, and carry out a wide range of export sales externally.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that Xie Zihua's idea was undoubtedly quite correct.

The profits from tobacco are enormous.

In the Ming Dynasty, he can restrict it, but what if the imperial court restricts it? Now is not the future generation, many people who like tobacco will even grow some in the fields.

How can such a court be managed?

So, in fact, Xie Zihua's way of continuing to strictly restrict at home, but exporting a large amount of tobacco overseas, is actually quite a good idea.

After all, if it is compared to the people themselves to smoke, the imperial court is constantly restricting.

Directly let the people start large-scale planting and sell all these things, not only can the people of Daming get benefits.

The most important thing is that the profit of this thing is really high!

Not to mention doubling, even if it is doubled, it can be sold several times, Zhu Youzhen even thought that he could make more mature flue-cured cigarettes, and then it would be a shining commercial avenue.
