Chapter 457: Iron and Good Horses

When Zhao Fuling heard this, she raised her eyebrows and thought for a while.

Friends? Sort it off!

She nodded, and seeing that Cao Kuo still wanted to ask, she directly changed the topic: "More than thirty percent of the people in the city have returned, and many/soldiers are repairing the city wall, how many people can help the people repair their houses?"

Speaking of business, Cao Kuo is also a lot more serious.

He looked solemn and said, "I can only draw about three hundred people."

"Three hundred is not a lot." Zhao Fuling sighed, "The defenders of Ganzhou City have sacrificed a lot, and they will continue to recruit soldiers after reconstruction, if you don't return to Zhengrong Pass in a short time, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible."

As soon as he heard that it was a conscription, Cao Kuo's eyes lit up: "Yes, it's no problem to leave this job to me, Miss Zhao can rest assured."

Every year, the Beifu Army recruits into the army, which is Cao Kuo's favorite thing to do.

The soldiers in the twelve battalions are all old fritters/subs, but this new recruit's egg is the most fun.

He's the best at it.

Seeing that he was full of interest, Zhao Fuling laughed and strode out the door.

When the two arrived at the Guard's Mansion, Lord Zhang and the head of the Xu family who came to meet also arrived.

When the city of Ganzhou was broken, the head of the Xu family happened to go to other places to be busy with business, and the hundreds of people in the Xu family were all arranged by Mrs. Xu to evacuate. Although they have a big family and a big business, they are also orderly when they leave the city, except for the disobedient rebel Xu Haojie.

At that time, Xu Haojie took the nursing home to the city gate to support, and Mrs. Xu was so angry that her teeth itched.

Now that Ganzhou has been recovered, Xu Haojie is safe and sound and has even made meritorious contributions, and the Xu family and his wife feel proud again.

It's just that they just returned to the city today, and Mrs. Xu has to deal with the troubles at home, and the only person who came to guard the mansion is the head of the Xu family. And sitting below him were several wealthy businessmen in Ganzhou.

These wealthy businessmen are now gathered here, except for Zhao Fuling who took the initiative to hand over an olive branch, it is to inquire about the outside world.

The head of the Xu family has a straightforward personality and does not sell his son, so he said bluntly: "The news that His Royal Highness is still alive has now been known to the whole world. The ......."

He paused, signaled the direction of Shangjing, and then continued: "Inform the world, crown His Royal Highness as King Kang, and say that he will take this only brother back to Shangjing."

"King Kang?" Zhao Fuling smiled coldly, with sarcasm in her eyes.

It is estimated that Li Jingmo had an eye disease before, and Li Ce also knew about it, so now he uses the word "Kang" to respond to people.

Zhao Fuling sat down with her sleeves brushed, her pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she only pursed her lips lightly: "Nothing else?"

"Yes." The head of the Xu family continued, "He sent a military order to Anxi to summon His Highness back to Beijing."

When Master Zhang heard this, he also sneered, "It's really a good calculation."

First crowned King Kang to show his imperial prestige, and then ordered His Royal Highness to return to Beijing with the emperor's order. If His Highness returns, he will repeat the same mistakes again, and then be placed under house arrest or have an accident. If he doesn't return, he has a different intention, and he can send the imperial forbidden army to Anxi to encircle and suppress it.

This third prince is really scheming!

Several wealthy businessmen looked at each other and didn't speak, Zhao Fuling's face quickly softened, and she smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see what the new emperor can make any moves."

This kind of political matter, the head of the Xu family and others, as merchants, naturally cannot participate in the discussion.

He came this time mainly to discuss business, and by the way, he just passed on the news to Zhao Fuling.

Now that the news arrived, he got down to business: "The girl's goods are indeed sought after and hot, but the Jiangnan area is rich and there are many capable talents. However, in a short period of time, there are many copies of ours, and they are all very similar, and the prices are cheap."

When the head of the Xu family mentioned this, his heart was itching with hatred.

You must know that the things in Zhao Fuling's shop are all rare objects, not to mention the things on the drawings.

Sold to the hands of the rich and noble in Shangjing, all of them can get a high price, and they can make a lot of money when they go there.

But now, if there are more people to seize the market, isn't that cutting off their financial route?

The head of the Xu family asked Zhao Fuling, "What do you think, what do we do next?"

Let's reduce the price, the head of the Xu family is a little distressed, after all, it is all white silver. But don't reduce the price, others have similar things, and there is too much customer loss......

The head of the Xu family couldn't make up his mind himself.

Zhao Fuling was very calm, and even a little categorical: "The old products are sold at a reduced price, and the new products are immediately sent to various shops to make a wave of gimmicks."

The head of the Xu family was a little stunned, but he didn't expect Zhao Fuling to say that the price would be reduced.

He was about to say something, Zhao Fuling said: "In the future, all products will be printed with our own logo for anti-counterfeiting, and then classified into different series. Each series, two months apart, releases several new products. Every time a new product is launched, the price of the previous product is reduced by 20%."

The head of the Xu family closed his mouth now, but his mind was thinking quickly.

Security? That's to prevent being faked, right?

How to do the anti-counterfeiting mark? Could it be that even this one will be copied?

Of course, regardless of this thing, Zhao Fuling's proposal is very good, especially the series of products.

There are always people who are looking forward to something new, and even get their hands on it first. For example, those sons who pay attention to identity and appearance, maybe they will like to collect all the series.

Apparently, it is a price reduction, but in fact, it has increased the volume of goods sold......

Miss Zhao's operation is really amazing! new

The eyes of the head of the Xu family lit up, and he sighed: "Miss Zhao is really powerful, Xu has been in business for many years, but she is ashamed of herself."

In fact, he also has a way to operate in the follow-up, but he is not as fast as Zhao Fuling's response, or even so accurate.

Zhao Fuling shook her head and smiled: "The head of the Xu family has won the award, and I am also a memediocre person, but I am just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors and misappropriating their schemes."

The head of the Xu family didn't believe these words, praised Zhao Fuling a few words, and asked about the specific anti-counterfeiting sign production.

Zhao said that she could provide the Xu family with unique pigments. As long as you paint with this kind of paint, it will be difficult for others to make it exactly the same.

After all, in this era, pigments are still extremely rare objects, and unique colors are even rarer.

The head of the Xu family naturally agreed, and said that the price was calculated separately and would not treat Zhao Fuling badly.

Zhao Fuling also smiled and responded.

After the matter was discussed, several other wealthy businessmen also looked at Zhao Fuling with blank eyes, their expressions full of eagerness, "Look at me, I also want to make money".

Zhao Fuling smiled and said: "Please come here, you have business that you want to cooperate with, but you don't know these businesses, do you dare to accept them?"

Everyone said in their hearts, what else is there to dare to take in business?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fuling said nextly: "It's the iron business, and tens of thousands of good horses!"

When the word iron popped up, the wealthy merchants were shocked.

Lord Zhang, who looked calm, also jumped his eyelids, and involuntarily looked at Zhao Fuling.
