"Princess."

"Sit!"

Xia Jing walked to the main seat and sat down.

"There are now two squadrons stationed in Linhai Town, and the eight squadrons stationed in the city haven't been trained these days, right?"

Ding Dazhuang sat down and replied: "Back to the princess, I train as planned every day, please rest assured." ”

Xia Jing bowed, "Leave two teams to guard the prisoners to clear the wasteland, and one team to be responsible for security in the city, and the other five teams are headed by you, you lead them to the area north of Fucheng to suppress bandits, I don't want this post road from Lingnan to Jingzhou to be in the way." Do you have the confidence to complete this task? ”

"Obey the order, and the subordinates and their brothers will surely return victorious." Ding Dazhuang grinned.

Since the last time Xia Jing took them to suppress the bandits, knowing that the bandits' den was a treasure house, she had long wanted to go to a few more bandits' nests.

This time he got the opportunity, how to make him unhappy.

It's just that

"Princess, is your safety in danger?"

"My personal safety, you don't have to worry, aren't there still a hundred people left in the city? I'm not going out of town during this time. ”

"Then the subordinates will be relieved." Ding Dazhuang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, you go and arrange it, help me call Ye Fei over, I have something to arrange for him."

Xia Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip, Ye Fei was one of the captains of the personal guard squadron, and he was also the person in charge of Xia Jing's security who stayed behind.

On the way back to the courtyard, Hongmei asked, "Princess, do you want to open up the trade route from Lingnan to Jingzhou?" ”

Xia Jing glanced back at her, "The little girl is very smart, she can guess my intentions." ”

Hongmei's little face was slightly red, and he smiled, "The princess is your good teacher." ”

Xia Jing laughed when she heard this, "You have also seen the current situation in Lingnan, everything is lagging behind, if I don't save it, how can I live a peaceful retirement life in the future?" ”

Hongmei pursed her lips, "The lords are very filial to you, don't worry about the princess." ”

Xia Jing smiled, if you want to live comfortably in your later years, the most important thing is to have your own power, otherwise it is a little difficult to live happily in the back house.

But this is a matter for the future, there is no need to argue with the girl.

"When Ye Fei comes, you can bring him directly to the small courtyard."

From the small courtyard to the flower hall, I sweated a lot, and the hot weather in Lingnan was really uncomfortable.

"Okay."

It had been an hour since Ye Fei came over, and it was understood that he had taken the team to the outside of the city for training.

"Actually, because the weather is too hot here, you don't have to train so hard, after all, the body has to have a process of adaptation."

Xia Jing saw that Ye Fei was in a hurry and was sweating profusely, so she hurriedly asked Hongmei to bring a cup of chilled mung bean soup.

Ye Fei thanked her, took the mung bean soup in her hand, and drank it several times before she felt that the heat in her body had been extinguished a lot.

He wiped his mouth and said, "Our skills are not comparable to the prince's guards, and how can we protect you if we don't work hard." ”

Xia Jing: "."

Okay.

It seems that she can't stop others from working hard either.

She raised her eyebrows and changed the topic: "In the past few days, you have taken your team members to assist Ding Daqiang's work, printed a special small book, and asked the people who want to buy refined salt to bring their household registration to register according to their households, one for each household, and every time you buy salt in the future, you must register and seal it in this book." ”

Ye Fei knocked lightly on the table, pondered for a while, and asked, "Princess, are you afraid that someone will buy and sell and take the opportunity to make black money?" ”

Xia Jing smiled and nodded: "With this consideration, do a good job of registration, and the benefits will be slowly reflected in the future." ”

Ye Fei couldn't figure out what else to do for a while, and responded cheerfully, "Please rest assured, the princess, this matter will be assisted by the subordinate Ding Shopkeeper in this matter." ”

After getting Xia Jing's order, Ding Dazhuang made preparations and arrangements when he went back, and within two days, he led the team out of the North City Gate and embarked on the road of suppressing bandits.

In addition to arranging for the personal guard to be responsible for Xia Jing's safety, Ye Fei also began to assist Ding Daqiang in the registration of salt shop customers.

The business in the shop is still in short supply every day, and Ding Daqiang can only supply a limited amount every day in order to complete the task assigned by Xia Jing.

This greatly reduces the congestion of people.

There are more than 400 people in line every day, and even if you do queue, it will be in vain.

The flow of people in the shop was controlled, and many discerning businessmen came to the door.

Shopkeeper Ding got Xia Jing's instructions, and the salt merchants who shipped it to other places to buy salt in the shop were all 30 yuan a catty.

The businessmen from other places thought that they had heard it wrong, and it was clear that the people in the shop only bought it for ten yuan a catty, so why did they ask for a large amount of thirty yuan a catty?

"Princess Qian wants to make money and wants to go crazy!"

"Please be careful, if our princess is the master who sees money, she will not sell it to the people for ten pennies and a catty."

"If she doesn't want money and wants to go crazy, how can she sell it to the people for ten wen, and we need thirty wen for a large amount?"

The merchant was a hundred unconvinced in his heart, and there was a fire in his heart, if it weren't for the other party's noble status, he really wanted to jump up and scold his mother.

"Ten wen a catty is only for the local people in Lingnan, if it is a trader from other places, it will be thirty wen a catty, no matter how large the amount. You don't want to think that the salt with a lot of impurities in the past is fifty wen a catty, and the refined salt eaten by dignitaries and nobles is even more expensive. ”

Shopkeeper Ding pointed to the snow-white refined salt in his shop, "We don't have to say anything about the quality or appearance of this salt, I dare to say that the price of your shipment back will only be higher, and it will be in short supply, so you will be broken!" ”

Alas!

At the beginning of the business, it could only ensure that the local people could eat affordable refined salt, and in other areas, they could only earn a fortune for the time being.

This is an alleviating need for money.

Moreover, the price they gave was of good quality and good price compared to the official refined salt, and they still made a lot of money when they shipped it back.

The princess has already made profits, but she can't get an inch in life, and she is not greedy enough.

“.”

Talk about collapse!

The merchant shook his sleeves and left.

On the second day, there were many more people who bought salt repeatedly at the door of the salt shop.

When the guy found out about this situation, he returned the small book to the customer, and refused to sell salt with a smile: "You came to the store yesterday to buy two catties of refined salt, according to the calculation of your family of five, two catties of salt is enough for you to eat for two months."

So you have bought all the shares for the next two months, if you want to buy it again, it can only be calculated at 30 wen a catty, do you still want to buy it? ”

The service attitude is not wrong, and the people who buy salt are weak-hearted, so they take the salt book and leave the shop.

The shopkeeper Li from the snack bar next door came to see the excitement, and when he saw this scene, he asked the guy, "It turns out that this small book still has this function?" So how do you count the situation of opening a store like mine? ”

The guy smiled and explained: "If you take the household registration to register, it is according to your family members, and if you take the tax certificate to register, then you will be allocated the share according to the traffic of your store." ”

Shopkeeper Li asked again: "Then why do you have to buy it for 30 yuan if you exceed the quota?" ”

The man glanced at the people in line, and saw that they all pricked their ears.

He took the trouble to explain: "With such a snow-white salt for ten cents a catty, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Only our princess is kind-hearted, when she first came to Lingnan to see that the people's life is not easy, she thought of this measure to benefit the people, ten pounds of snowflake salt is the princess's welfare for everyone, and only our people in Lingnan can enjoy this benefit for the time being. ”

"But if you think about it, such a snow-white salt, the production process must be cumbersome, and the cost must not be low, since it is necessary to make salt and sell salt, it must be profitable, otherwise how will this shop continue to operate?"

"The workers who make salt, the venues, the shops, the guys, these people all need silver, and the merchants from other places come to sell salt at a price of 30 wen a catty."

"The princess just wants to earn back the cost so that the salt shop can continue to operate, so that our Lingnan people can continue to eat ten pennies and one pound of snowflake salt in the future, instead of inferior salt that is too expensive to die."

Shopkeeper Li suddenly realized, slapped his face, and said loudly: "The princess is benevolent!" ”

After that, he turned to the people queuing up to buy salt and said: "If any of you wants to buy and sell, I think you should die as soon as possible, don't line up here, the queue is also in vain, the man is sharp-eyed, and he will not sell to you for more than the quota!" ”

When Shopkeeper Li returned to the snack bar next door, many people in the queue to buy salt sneaked away.

It can be seen that these people are entrusted by others to fish in troubled waters.

Dude, just don't see it!

Two days later, another convoy entered the gate of the south city, and Fang Ji still led the team.

This time, the snowflake salt brought back was twice as much as the last time, and Shopkeeper Ding smiled and squinted when he saw the number of carriages.

"The team has worked hard all the way, please take your brother to drive the carriage to the backyard to unload the goods."

Fang Ji patted the goods on the carriage, "Shopkeeper Ding, this time I brought twice as much salt, and the princess said that if you can't eat half of it, you will prepare to distribute the goods to the surrounding counties." ”

"This" Shopkeeper Ding hesitated for a while, and said, "Please drive the carriage to the backyard first, and I will discuss this matter with the princess." ”

Fang Ji nodded, didn't embarrass him, turned around and ordered the brothers to drive the carriage to the backyard.

The merchants, who had been watching outside the shop, watched the convoy turn from the end of the road into the alley in the backyard, and they couldn't sit still.

If the snowflake salt is transported to the county town, then aren't they tossing here for nothing?

How's that going to work?

Just this bit of salt, they can eat it alone.

Good salt is not to be sold!

Shopkeeper Ding prepared for a while, but before he left the shop, he was stopped by several merchants.

"Where's the shopkeeper? Business comes to the door, and if there is anything to do, I will do it again. ”

The merchant had a tacit understanding and took the shopkeeper Ding in.

Shopkeeper Ding was startled and wanted to break free from their hostage, "Hey, what do you want to do?" I'll talk about it later, and the princess is still waiting for me to reply."

"Shopkeeper Ding, don't be in a hurry to reply, let's talk about business first, talk about business first."

Shopkeeper Ding snorted coldly, "It's too difficult to do business with you, and I can't make a decision after grinding, I think you should not delay my business." ”

After all, he still wanted to struggle, but he was held hostage by several merchants, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

The guy watched as Shopkeeper Ding was carried up to the second floor by several merchants, "I can't help myself, I ask for more blessings." ”

I don't know if this is a merchant or a shopkeeper?

Half an hour later, a few people came out of the second floor.

Several merchants reached their goal and went out of the salt shop satisfied, and the shopkeeper Ding, who walked at the end, went downstairs with a smile on his face while holding a wooden box.

"Shopkeeper, done?" The guy leaned over and asked.

Shopkeeper Ding patted the wooden box and praised: "You kid still has a lot of ideas, this trick is good!" ”

Through a few words he and Captain Fang deliberately spoke, this group of foreign merchants was dealt with.

Sometimes it's easy to get things done in the right way.

Their snowflake salt wants to open the Central Plains market, and the cooperation with this group of merchants is very important.

Seeing that they were only waiting and making no decision, Shopkeeper Ding was already so anxious that the corners of his mouth were foaming.

Unexpectedly, this kid casually came up with an idea to help him solve the urgent task.

As long as they have cooperation with this group of merchants, they can attract more merchants when they make money.

In the future, Lingnan's business and trade, snowflake salt is the main specialty of Lingnan.

Shopkeeper Ding went back to the backyard with the box, and Fang Ji had already unloaded all the salt into the warehouse with his brothers.

They were sitting in the living room drinking tea and resting.

Seeing Shopkeeper Ding come in, Fang Ji put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ding got his wish this time?" ”

When Shopkeeper Ding heard this, he laughed: "Thanks to Captain Fang's willingness to cooperate with me, otherwise the progress would not have gone so smoothly." Those old foxes don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and if the guys in the store hadn't come up with such a solution, I really couldn't do anything about them. ”

"How many orders have been placed?"

Shopkeeper Ding sat down and patted the box, "Fifteen thousand taels of silver, the payment for the goods and the advance payment for the next batch of goods." ”

Fang Ji shook his head: "These people are really difficult to deal with, when they see the money open, they don't let go when they smell the fish." However, this is what the princess would like to see. ”

Shopkeeper Ding nodded: "If the princess wants to open up a trade route, she must make a lot of effort." Only when commerce and trade in Lingnan are prosperous, can taxes rise with it, otherwise if it is like before, the commerce and trade in Lingnan will definitely not work. ”

Fang Ji was moved by his feelings, and said with emotion: "The princess is far-sighted, and her vision is farther than ours. She planned for Lingnan with good intentions. ”

The merchants stayed in Fucheng for ten more days, and when the third batch of snowflake salt came back, they got the amount they wanted, and they were satisfied with the caravan out of the north city gate.

In the restaurant not far from the north city gate.

Tong Song looked at the vanished caravan, "They were originally our customers, and now they are also the princess's customers." How soon will they become the princess's clients, you say? ”

Young Master Chen put away the fan and knocked on the table, "Tong Dashao, I think you are completely unfounded, I don't believe that the princess can take all the goods in the world into her arms, and there will always be a little leakage between your fingers, let me wait for some soup."

Besides, Lingnan is not her alone!

Tong, Lou, and Chen are not vegetarians! ”

If you are a smart superior, you will not compete with the people for profit, and the prosperity of commerce and trade is not a single branch, but a hundred schools of thought.

A hundred flowers bloom is spring.

Tong Songruo glanced at him meaningfully, "In short, the world in Lingnan is no longer divided by the three of us, everyone should be careful in the future." ”

Chen Dashao pursed his lips in his heart, disapproving.

As long as their Chen family abides by the law, he believes that the Qian Wangfu will not be able to kill innocents indiscriminately.

However, after the observation of these days, Princess Qian should not be underestimated!

The two parted unhappily.

After Tong Song left, the Chen family asked, "Young master, are we going home or?"

Young Master Chen shook his head: "Go to Xia Ji Salt Shop." With that, he got into the carriage first.

"Huh?"

The little girl's heart jumped, "Young master, let's go to the salt shop?" ”

"Hmm." The carriage replied lightly.

The little guy confirmed that he had heard correctly, and then asked the coachman to catch the car.

"Young master, the salt shop is our opponent, and we can't sell the salt in our grocery store, what are you doing with her?"

Young Master Chen glanced at him with the eyes of a fool, and said as a matter of course: "Now that the salt in the grocery store is not easy to sell, we will not buy this kind of salt." The princess's snowflake salt is easy to sell, so we will buy their salt, and see that we can't act if we have money to earn, isn't that a fool's doing? ”
