Volume 5 Chapter 535 Always imitated, never surpassed!
In the next few days, both Sun Moon Mountain and Taozhou City are in full swing to prepare.
Of course, because of a decision made by the eldest grandson Wuji, those businessmen in Sun Moon Mountain are also ready to move in the past few days.
Especially the businessmen who came from Datang, although they have made a lot of money relying on Daming in the past two years, they have also suffered a lot of anger.
No way, there are many things that only Daming has, in order to make money, this anger was endured, but now there seems to be a new movement on the Taoyuan side, and many businessmen are obviously tempted.
Especially those businessmen who can't get paper business, they are even more supportive.
That night, they drank and talked happily in the Changming Restaurant, celebrating that they would no longer have to suffer this nest in Sun Moon Mountain in the future.
In fact, it's normal to think about it, since there are better options and lower costs, why do they have to rely on Daming to suffer from this nest?
Moreover, as far as they are concerned, they can't catch the big ship of Li Chengqian, since this is the case, isn't the answer coming out?
The next day, many caravans left Sun Moon Mountain, but this time, they didn't buy anything.
Of course, they didn't make a big deal of nonsense in Sun Moon Mountain, they are all businessmen, and it is impossible to walk the road to death, although Sun Moon Mountain has a lot of rules, but they can't stand the good income.
Otherwise, in the past two years, why would they rather come to Sun Moon Mountain like an angry little daughter-in-law?
Second, this Sun Moon Mountain is Li Chengqian's territory, and they don't dare to make a mistake.
However, with their departure, the income of Changming firm has decreased significantly in the past two days, and it can be said that the sales volume in these days is the lowest since the establishment of Changming firm.
This frightened Puxiru.
The Ming Dynasty can still operate normally, relying on the fact that the Changming firm can create huge profits, if there is a problem with the Changming firm, the entire Daming will fall into crisis.
Not only him, but Li Qinjian, who was in charge of the household department, also noticed the problem, and immediately found Puxiruo, and said with an uneasy face: "Servant, something is wrong, in the past two days, news has come from Changming firms all over the country, saying that sales have dropped sharply, and it seems that the Taohe merchants over there in Datang have a great impact on these merchants!"
If we don't want to come up with any countermeasures, I'm afraid that my business will be hit hard. β
Pu Xiru didn't know this truth, and he was also entangled when he heard the words, but the question was, could he have any better way?
"It's okay, just follow suit." After thinking about it for a long time, Pu Xiru said, "Eldest Sun Wuji is doing this just to seize my Daming's market."
But at this point, I am really not as good as them, in the final analysis, they themselves occupy the market, this is their advantage, we can't compare.
But if that's the case, he wants to hit my Daming's business, does his eldest grandson Wuji think about my Daming too simply? β
"What's the trick for a servant?" As soon as he heard Pu Xiruo say this, Li Qinjian immediately asked.
Pu Xiru smiled and said: "Without him, only I am the only one who is in charge of the bull's ear!" β
Just now, Pu Xiru thought about whether to go to Li Chengqian for a moment, but after thinking about it, since he is now a servant of the court, his duty is to solve problems for Li Chengqian, if he goes to Li Chengqian for help with everything, then what do you want him to do as a servant?
So after much deliberation, PΕiro decided to solve the problem on her own.
In the final analysis, in the past two years of his official career, he has grown a lot.
At least now he already knows what the core of the Ming Dynasty is really based on.
When Li Qinjian heard him say this, he immediately understood.
"Wonderful!" Li Qinjian said, "Although Datang has now begun to pay attention to the workshop, if you really want to talk about it, I still have a lot of technology, and there are many things that have not been sold before.
Well, by the way, the fertilizer that was soaked before is almost the same, and there is glass!
If Changming Firm is asked to release these two things, I don't know what kind of sensation it will cause. β
"Yes!" Pu Xiru also said, "That's it, I started as a worker, and I will be a prisoner and I will be working day and night to develop new things.
To put it bluntly, in the whole world, only I am the heaviest worker!
And because of this, I am not afraid of anyone on the way to industry! β
Speaking of this, Puxi smiled and said, "But if that's the case, you should ask Your Highness first." β
When Li Qinjian heard this, he also nodded.
Both are smart people, and they need to show the ability to take charge of themselves, which means that when they encounter problems, they can come up with solutions.
As for whether to use it or not, Li Chengqian has to nod.
In just a moment, the two came to Daming Palace.
Li Chengqian was about to leave the palace, and when he saw the two, he smiled and said, "What happened?" β
In fact, he roughly guessed that at this juncture, it was worth these two guys to enter the palace together, and it was just that little thing, to be honest, he was actually waiting for them to enter the palace in the past two days.
"Your Highness, recently, because of the affairs in Taohe County, my business has been seriously affected." Pu Xiru said, and explained in detail the recent situation of Changming Firm.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded.
There is no need for him to say this, Li Chengqian also guessed it.
"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and this is not a bad thing for my Ming court."
Even if something like this doesn't happen today, it will inevitably happen in the future over time, and a solution is always needed.
Well, what do you guys think about this incident? β
Li Chengqian is happy to see this happen.
When he decided to let Xu Jingzong take away so many craftsmen, he expected this day.
As he says, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is a good thing.
The Ming Dynasty has grown from scratch, all the way to today, to be honest, it has really gone too smoothly.
The rise of an empire always has to experience some setbacks, and it can be said that this is also intentional on his part.
"Your Highness, Weichen and Li Shangshu have discussed." When Pu Xiru heard this, he immediately said, "This crisis is actually a wake-up call for my Daming, but it is not enough to pose a threat. β
"Huh?" Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian was overjoyed.
Hearing such an answer, Li Chengqian was still very satisfied.
For him, it is more important than anything else that Puxiru and others can have this enlightenment.
Daming has come to this day, although it cannot be said that he has supported it alone, but he has indeed paid a lot.
To put it bluntly, although there are a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty, there are really not many people who can share one or two for them.
Of course, it's no wonder who is, after all, the Ming Dynasty has come to this day, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and no one should dislike anyone.
Seeing Pu Xiruo say this, Li Chengqian intended to test him and asked, "What do you say?" β
"Although our business has indeed been impacted this time, since it is a business, how can it be possible to make a steady profit without losing money?" Pu Xiruo said, "In the past, the reason why my Ming business was invincible is not that my Ming businessmen are invincible, in the final analysis, it still relies on the endless commodities of my Ming Dynasty, which can quickly seize the market in the shortest time."
This is our advantage, so even if this move by Datang will affect my Daming in a short period of time, it will only be a short time after all, because our foundation has not been damaged. β
Li Chengqian nodded.
He still agrees with Puxiruo's words.
Indeed, the reason why he generously asked Xu Jingzong to take those craftsmen away was probably the same reason.
Even today's situation was expected by him, and the response plan was made early.
But at this time, he didn't think so.
Although his response plan was almost perfect, he still wanted to hear the thoughts of Puxiru and the others.
After all, if you do everything yourself, this is not a king, but a coat......
Thinking like this, Li Chengqian asked: "Then according to the two Aiqing, this time the Tang Dynasty is menacing, how should I deal with it?" β
"Why do you have to deal with it?" Puxi smiled and said, "My Daming's craftsmanship is already the best in the world, and his Datang is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom?"
Let's leave it alone how they got these workshops, at that time, as long as I release the fertilizer that I made before, and the glass that has not been officially sold.
Hehe, since they have grasped the weakness of the businessman's pursuit of profit, then Weichen wants to see if they can really grasp this weakness. β
"You want to save the market with glass and fertilizer?" As soon as Li Chengqian heard him say this, he understood what he had in mind.
It's not the best way to go, at least not for him.
How to put it, he has a better way to break the game anyway.
Of course, he is still very satisfied with the fact that Puxiru and others can take the initiative to find solutions.
This shows that they are really thinking about sharing their worries.
"Yes." Pu Xiruo said, "Datang is nothing more than taking advantage of geographical advantages to compete with us for merchants, which is their only advantage."
But what if we have something new on the market?
Datang's little advantage will be gone in an instant.
In this way, even those merchants do not dare to despise us, because they are not sure when we will launch new things on the market.
As long as we keep it for a while, there will be new things on the market, and those businessmen are still inseparable from my Daming.
Of course, during this period, what we have to do is to keep the lead in this technology, so that Datang will always chase us behind, so that they can always imitate us, but there is no way to surpass! β
"Has it always been imitated, never surpassed?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "It's a bit interesting, in that case, this matter will be handled by the two Aiqing with full authority!" β
He did have a better way of dealing with it, but if they were willing to share their worries, why wouldn't he do it?
Moreover, he does need some courtiers who are capable of standing alone.
He had to deal with every detail, and it really didn't apply to a king.
By now, he must also learn to delegate power appropriately.
"In addition, you two can go to the supervisor to find out, and if there are products suitable for the near future, you can both call the shots." Li Chengqian continued, "But there is one thing that you two must remember.
You have the right to discuss whether to market what has been developed by the superintendent, but you have no right to interfere with the R&D and production of the superintendent.
The layman commands the insider, this king will never allow it to happen! β
When the two heard Li Chengqian's words, they were immediately overjoyed.
Especially Pu Xiruo, you must know that he had tried to be a prisoner at the beginning, but Li Chengqian ignored him at that time, but he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected joy this time.
Although the rights are limited, this is already a good start.
At that moment, the two of them bowed down and said, "Weichen understands that he will never live up to His Highness's high expectations. β
"Go ahead." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "This king is suddenly a little tired. β
When the two heard this, they immediately bowed down and retired.
And after they left, Li Chengqian smiled.
Yes, at least these two guys are really starting to use their brains.
While the idea isn't necessarily the best, it's the most straightforward.
"It seems that in the past two years, everyone has grown a lot." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "It's a good thing, it's really a good thing, go, go back to the palace, this king will take a day off today, and tomorrow I want to see what kind of flowers my uncle can toss."
By the way, Baolin, inform me that the previous arrangements of this king, except for Zhang Erniu's side, are all on standby. β
When Yu Chi Baolin heard this, he immediately said: "The last general will send someone to inform him." β
Li Chengqian nodded and simply returned to Daming Palace.
On the way back, he muttered: "If the officials of the Ming Dynasty can stand alone like Pu Xiruo, this king will be happy to be a leisurely monarch!"
I want this king to sit on fertile land for thousands of miles, and be as busy as a dog all day long, what kind of business is this?
This king understands why so many people like to be a faint monarch since ancient times, because the life of a faint monarch is comfortable!
When a Ming monarch, the life of the common people is good, but the emperor's life is sad! β
Wei Shuyu and the others who followed closely behind did not dare to intervene when they heard this.
Who would dare to say this?
However, as soon as he returned to the palace, Li Chengqian really had a good rest, and he was going to deal with this matter today, since Puxiruo and the others had ideas, then leave it to them.
He's happy to be at ease.
Of course, the most important thing is that he also needs to give Puxiruo and others a chance to exercise.
After all, there are not many opportunities to confront a thousand-year-old fox like the eldest grandson Wuji, and if you can get some bargains in his hands, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless for their future political career.
But after thinking about it, Li Chengqian only rested for a while, sat up again, and wrote on the table before saying to Wei Shuyu: "Shuyu, let Liu San send someone to send this to Puxiruo and tell him that this is just some of the king's ideas, and the details are up to them."
In addition, inform him that tomorrow the trade ports of Daming and Datang will open, and the king will come in person! β
When Wei Shuyu heard this, he immediately took the letter and trotted out.
On the other side, when Pu Xiruo saw Li Chengqian's letter, he immediately smiled and said: "Your Highness is still thoughtful, but you have added everything we were worried about before."
However, His Royal Highness will come to the port tomorrow to open the market, but he wants to inform the military department. Saying that, after Puxi explained to Li Qinjian in detail, he said, "You keep an eye here, and the old man will go to the military department." β
If Li Chengqian wants to visit the port in person, he will have to make much more arrangements than if the port is open for the market.
But now they are not so worried, after all, today's Ming is no longer what it used to be!
