Chapter 68: Valuing the Merchant

Zhu Di vaguely understood what He Qiu wanted to say, but he felt a little like seeing flowers in a fog.

"Mr. He, can you explain more clearly?"

Zhu Di asked He Qiu with a modest attitude.

He Qiu said with a smile: "Your Highness, let me just say so, if my Kenda chicken business can be done, and the farmers can raise one more chicken, they can earn a few taels more silver at the end of the year, which almost does not require them to pay any monetary cost."

With this extra income, they can buy some salt, buy some rice, and pull a few pieces of cloth, and their lives will be better than before! ”

Zhu Di nodded and said: "That's true, Mr. He's move is also beneficial to the people's livelihood, and this king wants to thank you on behalf of the people!" ”

He Qiu waved his hand and said: "You should not be thankful for me, but for those businessmen who went all over the mountains to buy broilers, and it was they who gave the silver taels to the people!"

If it weren't for them, ordinary people wouldn't have walked dozens of kilometers of mountain roads to this capital of Shuntianfu in order to sell a few chickens, and they would be very busy with farm work!

The merchants, on the other hand, could use horse-drawn carts to buy an entire village of broiler chickens and sell them to me to make money by quantity, and while they were pursuing profits, they also really improved the lives of the people. ”

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "So...... Mr. He wants to tell me that if you want to improve people's livelihood, you must first pay attention to businessmen? ”

"That's right!"

He Qiu snapped his fingers and said: "Because of the existence of merchants, all the goods can be circulated, and only then can they be turned into real money and fall into the hands of the people!"

I don't deny that there are some profiteers among the merchants, but if there are enough merchants, the people will have a choice, they can choose merchants with better character to cooperate, and they can also do more things to earn money and slowly become rich! ”

Zhu Di was silent.

His three views were seriously shaken.

The idea of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" was first put forward by Guan Zhong.

The ruling class has been carrying out this idea for thousands of years.

Rule the world with soldiers.

Feed the world with farming.

As for industry and commerce, it is not important.

But now, He Qiu used a few servings of chicken snacks to make Zhu Di see the importance of businessmen.

It is not enough to feed the people.

It is also necessary to make the people rich.

Only when they become rich can the people live a full life and become satisfied.

The world will be stable from this.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Di suddenly stood up and arched his hand at He Qiu: "Mr. He, thank you for teaching this king a lesson, this king will pay attention to Shang Jia!" ”

He Qiu smiled and said: "It seems that His Royal Highness really understands what I just said, I am still looking for a partner in the business of playing chickens, Jin Zhong has already joined in, I wonder if His Highness is interested in getting involved?" ”

"Huh?"

He Qiu's thinking jumped a little too fast, and he directly stunned Zhu Di.

After a few seconds, Zhu Di scratched his head and said, "Mr. He, do you want this king to pay to participate?" There is not much money left in the royal account! ”

He Qiu waved his hand and said: "Your Highness misunderstood, I don't need you to pay, I just need you to come up with a transportation route!" ”

"Transport lines?"

Zhu Di said with a blank expression: "This king doesn't understand what you mean very well, Mr. He, can you be more detailed?" ”

He Qiu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said: "My business of fighting chickens is a centralized distribution method, and the ingredients needed by each store are delivered in the early morning every day.

The store only needs to cook and fry it in hot oil to sell the food to customers, which can ensure the consistency of the taste of Kenda chicken to the greatest extent.

One of the most important points is to deliver the ingredients quickly and ensure that they are fresh!

There's only one way to do this, and that's to take the post roads and replenish the ice cubes at each station! ”

Zhu Di suddenly realized.

As He Qiu said, the fresh distribution of ingredients is indeed the fastest and most secure way.

And in the entire Shuntian Mansion, the only one who can control the post road is him, the King of Yan.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a necessary thing to pull him in.

Thinking about this, Zhu Di sat up straight and said: "Since Mr. He has already planned it, how can this king not agree, but this king still wants to know first, and participate in business with this transportation route, and finally benefit how much can this king get?" ”

He Qiu made a six-point gesture and said, "Sixty percent!" ”

"Sixty percent?"

Zhu Di stood up suddenly, looked at He Qiu in surprise and said, "Mr. He, are you sure you are not wrong?" Can this king divide sixty percent? This...... That's not a good fit, is it? ”

He Qiu smiled and said: "There is nothing inappropriate, I have just said, the transportation line is the most important part of this business, and the proportion is naturally the highest when it is divided, Your Highness can accept it with peace of mind!" ”

In fact, if it is really divided according to the cost paid, Zhu Di can only take forty percent at most.

The reason why He Qiu gave two percent more was entirely because of the identity of King Yan.

If you want to open all over Shuntianfu, you must borrow the name of King Yan.

In this way, we can avoid the prying eyes of some young people.

Moreover, King Yan will become the Emperor of Yongle in the future.

At that time, it will be considered a royal business to fight chicken.

Giving away some of the benefits now is for the sake of planning for the long-term future.

Zhu Di is not a fool, he can probably guess He Qiu's intentions.

He directly picked up a cup of tea on the table and said to He Qiu: "Mr. He, this king doesn't talk nonsense anymore, this king will accept the sixty percent of the profits, and this king promises that in the future, in this Shuntian Mansion, the business of willing to fight chickens will not be hindered in any way!"

This king is now replacing wine with tea, toasting Mr. He with a cup, I wish our business can be prosperous, so that we, and the people, can earn more money and live a richer life! ”

After speaking, Zhu Di tilted his neck and poured a cup of tea into his mouth.

He Qiu said with a smile: "It's enough to have His Royal Highness's words, these snacks are just a part of the Kenda chicken meal, in the future, I will make other dishes and put them in the store, our business will definitely be booming!" ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but ask, "What are these other dishes...... Are they all as delicious as Mr. Ho's today? ”

He Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, they are all the same flavors!" ”

The greed in Zhu Di's heart was instantly hooked, and he really wanted He Qiu to make other meals for him to eat now.

But in the end, Zhu Di still couldn't help but say: "If this is the case, then there will definitely be a lot of customers to come to taste!" But for now, we still have a difficult time to overcome! ”

He Qiu touched his chin and said, "What Your Highness said is ...... The matter of guarding Fengtai? ”

Zhu Di immediately nodded and said: "That's right, this king has studied it, and it is really too difficult to guard Fengtai!" ”
