Chapter 1196: Business Development

From the point of view of appearance, the area of Nanzhao Wangcheng is not small, almost occupying nearly half of the street, but compared with the commercial complex of the capital, it is still inferior here, of course, there are more merchants in the capital, and the economy here is still not developed enough.

Li Xiang has watched it from beginning to end, from operating all kinds of goods to eating, drinking and having fun, it is basically a one-stop service, but he always feels that he owes something less than the capital.

"Why do you always feel that the capital is not as lively?"

Li Xiang walked around from the inside to the outside, and finally came to this conclusion.

"Your Highness, in fact, the most important thing is that there is a lack of high-rollers who spend a lot of money here."

Zhao's shopkeeper's words, Li Xiang can be regarded as understanding.

Take the capital as an example, there are many high-rollers who spend a lot of money, whether it is princes and nobles or businessmen from all walks of life, they have money in their hands, and often for their own temporary pleasure, they will throw this money everywhere.

But Nanzhao Wangcheng is different, Nanzhao is too small compared to the Tang Dynasty, although there are many people who spend money for their own pleasure, but it is impossible to spend too much, if you add some other things, then it will be even less.

Take the parking area opened up at the door, if you are in the capital, there is no so-called parking space at all, if you want to stop, you must stay here at all times, and you can only enter a carriage from inside.

However, there are more parking spaces here in Nanzhao Wangcheng, but the problem is that there are not so many customers, of course, it is the reason for the daytime, if it is at night, there may be more people.

"When we created the Zhidao Treasure here, we still didn't take into account the actual purchasing power here, and it seems that many places have been deserted."

What Li Xiang said is the truth, the scale of the building here is the same as that of Luoyang City, but judging from the current situation, the revenue here is not even one-fifth of Luoyang City, and the net profit is even lower.

Of course, Li Xiang also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao's shopkeeper, and when he wanted to create the Zhizhibao of Nanzhao Wangcheng, it was Li Xiang's own decision, if he wanted to say that the prediction was wrong, it was also Li Xiang's prediction that was wrong.

At the beginning, Li Xiang had just come to Nanzhao Wangcheng and saw that the people here were relatively wealthy, so he felt that creating a treasure here should be a business that could make a lot of money, but now it seems that he was wrong at that time.

"Your Royal Highness doesn't need to say that, some time ago it was mainly because of the war, and now Nanzhao's economy is slowly recovering, just take our turnover as an example, this is the fifth consecutive month of rise, although the increase is not very large, but it can maintain five consecutive months of rise, which is enough to show that Nanzhao's economy is recovering."

Since Shopkeeper Zhao chose to come here to be on duty, then he has to study the surrounding situation thoroughly, Li Xiang does not just let you be responsible for this one of the treasures, if you have the ability, you can also give me a higher promotion in the future, and the opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

"What you said is right, there is another thing that the imperial court is about to carry out a war against the south, this war may last a little long, and then you will see what business Zhidao Bao can dock."

Holding to the treasure is Li Xiang's own business, since many nobles in the court have taken advantage of this, Li Xiang doesn't mind saying this, of course, holding to the treasure can not hinder the interests of the country, Li Xiang still has a bottom line in his heart, and making money must be accompanied by the expansion of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"My subordinates understand."

Zhao's shopkeeper's eyes also showed a golden light, his place is not comparable to Chang'an Luoyang, and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not comparable, so he should be ranked after more than a dozen, although it sounds good here called Nanzhao Wangcheng, but in fact, it is not even an ordinary city in Datang.

If there is no special change, I am afraid that his turnover here will not happen for a few years, although the change is steadily rising, but the increase every month is too small, to put it bluntly, it is a lack of big opportunities.

Now there is finally a big opportunity, if the Tang army continues to go south, then this may become the rear, when the base attacked Nanzhao before, Sichuan is the rear of all the armies, and the base is now Sichuan has a tendency to develop into the country of abundance, so Zhao's shopkeeper also sees it, and the opportunity here will come soon.

According to the policy of the Tang Dynasty, although we have taken over most of the rights of the entire Nanzhao, Wang Gong still left the family behind.

First, because their royal family members have a good reputation among the common people, and if they are directly captured or killed, it will not be beneficial for us to rule the local area.

Second, it is naturally the reason for Princess Yongning, Li Xiang is very fond of Princess Yongning, which is not a secret in the Tang Dynasty, if the king and queen are killed, then can the two of them survive? No matter how generous Princess Yongning is, it is impossible for the people of Datang to let the two of them together, in case Princess Yongning has bad intentions, what about Li Xiang's safety?

After many afternoons of communication, Li Xiang could see Yongning's mood, very happy, seeing his parents again was endless, if it weren't for the court etiquette, Li Xiang wouldn't have come to disturb the family.

It can be seen that this dinner is carefully prepared, and the current Nanzhao royal family is not the same as before, although there is still the income of its own fiefdom, but it is no longer as good as before, so it costs a lot to prepare such a banquet.

The Queen Mother still showed her face and left, presumably the Queen Mother also knew very well that staying here for a long time would cause everyone to be uncomfortable.

Li Xiang definitely didn't talk to the Queen Mother, and the relationship between the two had reached a freezing point.

The king and queen were always on their guard, and now we were prisoners, and apart from not staying in prison, they were like prisoners everywhere else.

If the Queen Mother provoked Li Xiang, Li Xiang would be furious, and I didn't know what the result would be at that time, so the Queen Mother didn't eat here, which was considered to satisfy everyone, and everyone didn't have to worry about the next terrible changes.
