Chapter 318: The Prestige of "Zhengyang Hou"
The implication of Prince Xiang Baichuan's words is that since the five great families have not produced this money and grain, let Zhengyang Hou come out.
When the second prince Xiang Longyuan heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled.
What is it?
Shake the pot brightly!
Donating money and food for disaster relief was originally the business of Wenchen, but with such a fluttering sentence from the prince, it became a matter of military generals!
And as we all know, the military general is tied to him Xiang Longyuan!
So, it's his business!
If the Marquis of Zhengyang can't donate enough money and food, his image in his father's heart will be greatly reduced.
And the prince has a saying that is right, the Marquis of Zhengyang is the old man who followed his father to quell the rebellion and fight the country!
If he has money, compared to the five great families who don't enter the oil and salt, his father will definitely be more inclined to let the Marquis of Zhengyang pay this money.
It's a big deal to make up for it afterwards.
He couldn't know his father's thoughts very well, but the key was that as the second prince, he was very close to military generals and nobles like Zhengyang Hou.
I haven't heard he's made a lot of money lately!
Sure enough, when Emperor Renxuan on the dragon chair heard this, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly relaxed, and his tone was much lighter: "Lu Xu? Made a lot of money? Is this true? ”
"How dare the sons and daughters deceive their father, these days, except for the area where the palace is located, the other three places."
"Whether it is Qiannan Jing'an Fang, or Qiandong Yongle Fang, or even the most prosperous Qianxi Zhengde Fang, there are people who are doing business with the signboard of Zhengyang Hou, and they make a lot of money."
When Emperor Renxuan heard this, he was immediately happy.
"Yongle Fang? Isn't it all a land of smoke and willows, where the skin and flesh make a living? ”
"Lu Xu, he... Haven't you always been afraid of your mother-in-law at home? How dare you make such a living, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I have a little more courage. ”
"Ahem, ahem." Xiang Longyuan almost choked on his own saliva, and said in his heart, Father, your focus is a little crooked.
"Definitely, Zhengyang Hou has been in his life... He has been fighting martial arts all his life, and when he is getting old, he naturally will not do this kind of skin and meat business to ruin people's livelihood, what he does is... Fat powder business. ”
"Fat powder business?" Emperor Renxuan was obviously even more surprised, and Lu Xu's appearance of five big and three rough appeared in his mind, and he was surprised: "He still understands this?" ”
"Naturally, Zhengyanghou has come up with a lot of trendy fat powder, like what kind of soap, for bathing, after washing, the body is clean and smooth, and the dust is not clean."
"There is also perfume, sprayed on the body, which can make the whole body permeate the fragrance, which is eye-catching."
"Or some lipstick, a mask, or something."
"These fat powders are very different from those old fat powders, but they are extremely effective, and once they are sold, they quickly seize the Yongle Fang market."
"In addition, Yongle Fang is mostly a smoke willow place, and the most important thing is women, so the business is naturally excellent."
Hearing such a novelty, even Emperor Renxuan came to the nature and said, "I have a bit of brains, but you can tell me, what kind of livelihood did he do in the other two workshops?" ”
"In Qiannan Zhengde Fang, there are some ordinary businesses, such as restaurants and cloth shops."
"But even so, the goods in Zhengyanghou's store are also unique, and the quality is much better than that in other stores."
"What about Qianxi? That's the area, business is not good, right? "Emperor Renxuan remembers it very well, such a golden location has been almost occupied by the five great families.
Although Lu Xu is powerful and powerful, he is not afraid of anyone. But if you want to do a business in such a place, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Even, among the five major families, only the first three can open shops in the Qianxi area to do business.
The Fu family and the Sun family can only go to Yongle Fang to make some skin and meat for a living, which shows the fierce competition in the Zhengdefang market.
However, as soon as he finished saying this, he saw the prince's face strange and said, "No, it's the opposite. Zhengyang Hou's business in Zhengdefang in Qianxi should be the most profitable. I'm afraid that the revenue is more than the other two squares combined! ”
!!!
Emperor Renxuan was really a little shocked at this time, and even thought of something bad: "Could it be that he did something illegal and criminal?" ”
As we all know, whether it is in the Five Kingdoms of the Princes, or in the Wei State of the Son of Heaven, or the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Salt and iron are profiteering!
Why?
On the one hand, scarcity is expensive, on the other hand, salt is a necessity of life, and iron is a strategic material, and it is impossible to be inexpensive.
Therefore, the attitude of various countries towards salt and iron is particularly consistent, that is, it is nationalized and operated by local governments.
In other words, a ban on private ownership!
But over the years, no matter in any country, there have been many prisoners executed for the private use of salt and iron.
Because it's so profitable!
For businessmen, more than 50 percent of the profits are enough for them to take risks.
Not to mention one hundred, or even two hundred!
This kind of business, don't say that you have to take risks, even if you pin your head to the waistband of your pants, you have to give it a try!
In Fang Cai Xiang Baichuan's words, it was revealed inside and out that Zhengyang Hou had made a lot of money in Qiandong and Qiannan's business.
But these don't add up to a lot of Qianxiduo!
Summing up all kinds of information, the first thing that Emperor Renxuan thought of was that salt and iron were private.
For a while, it was inevitable that there was some heartache.
That's what the Great Cadre Law prohibits, and if you do such a thing, you might as well go into the skin and meat business.
This old Lu is really old, and it is not worry-free.
What do I do with you?
When Prince Xiang Baichuan heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly.
I have to say that Emperor Renxuan's speculation is reasonable, because he also thought so at the beginning.
Who would have wanted to find out after an in-depth investigation......
"Father, it's not like that."
"Zhengyang Hou has always known the law and understood the law, so how could he do some illegal and criminal business."
"What he did was... It's a kind of business called a shopping mall. ”
"Mall? What is it? Hearing that it was not salt and iron private, Emperor Renxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Zhengyang Hou spent a lot of money to buy a piece of land in the most prosperous area of Zhengde Fang, and then built a high-rise building, and then included all the shops on the market."
In this way, he only needs to pay for the land and the money to build the house. The shops in the mall, if it were his, would naturally have revenue. If it weren't for him, he would have to pay a lot of rent every month. ”
"If you look at it this way, you don't lose anything. In addition, there are all kinds of shops in the mall, even if the price is more expensive, so what's the matter? After all, the people who live in Zhengdefang are all masters who are not short of money, and they are not afraid of expensive prices, but they are afraid of trouble. ”
"That's why I especially love places like shopping malls, and after a few months, Zhengyanghou's business is so good that he has made a lot of money."
After Xiang Longyuan finished speaking, the entire Ganlu Hall was silent.
Everyone was a little hard to imagine that such a livelihood was actually made by a vulgar martial artist!
