Chapter 272: Are You Cheap?

After Xu Mao went to Qin's house to announce the decree, many people in Bianliang City got the news as soon as possible.

"When I was twenty years old, I was still in the palace, and I tried my best to perform every day, and I thought I could ...... with my ability"

Zhao Yuanyan asked coldly, "What did those people say when they went to the Qin family?" ”

The secret agent of the Dingwang Mansion said respectfully: "It's just a matter of business, those people join forces with the Qin family to sell flower dew." I heard that it is very profitable...... Later, Xu Mao also went, and His Majesty decreed that Qin should be named the Marquis of Pingyang! ”

Zhao Yuanyan snorted coldly: "The family has a lot of money, and he has real power!" Now he is a young marquis......"

The spy looked up and nodded a little enviously.

Qin Wei chatted with those powerful people for a long time, scolding them around the corner, but those people were not angry. and agreed to Qin Wei's suggestion to increase the price. ”

"How much does a bottle of perfume cost?"

There is no sales channel for fragrance in Bianliang City, and some powerful people who have gotten the news want to buy it, but they can only sigh with joy.

In a word, Qin Ji does not allow anyone to sell incense in Bianliang!

I don't earn my own people's money, but I want to earn foreigners' money.

What is it?

This is the Gao Feng Liang Festival, patriotic!

The secret agent didn't think about it and said: "The Qin family wholesaled to those powerful people at a price of twenty-five guan, and then they used their own canals to sell them to foreign countries, or they wholesaled them to those Hu traders for the second time, and the price was about forty guan......"

"Forty years and the price will go up?"

Zhao Yuanyan felt that Qin Wei's heart was really dark enough, "They didn't make a fuss?" Didn't resist either? ”

"Nope."

Zhao Yuanyan said a little angrily: "Why? If someone else had collapsed a long time ago, what would they think? Do you let Qin Wei pinch and flatten it? Cheap or not! ”

Dingwangfu is a little divided from those powerful people because of the previous events.

But there are only so many people in the circle of the powerful, and no one knows whom.

Even if those people earn money by relying on the Qin family's fragrant dew, but after all, Dingwangfu is the top of the powerful, as long as they say, 'I have your handle', these people will be jealous.

This trick was very effective at the beginning, and it beat the arrogance of those who wanted to fight against the Dingwang Mansion at once, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

He himself is a powerful person, so he naturally understands that for these people, everything is fake, and only interests are real.

But what's going on today?

Those powerful people who wanted to come and eat as ugly as gluttony, not only did they not resist, but they even allowed them to be scolded.

Cheap or not!

The corners of Zhao Yuanyan's slightly wrinkled eyes showed a little coldness, "What did Qin Weidu say to them?" ”

In his opinion, those people would definitely huddle together to oppose Qin Wei's price increase.

The secret agent said with a tangled expression: "Lord Wang, Qin Wei is bewitching those merchants. ”

"What did you say?"

Zhao Yuanyan has been pretending to be sick recently, and he has nothing to do every day, so he has time to listen to gossip.

“…… Life is to sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, first fat is not fat, and then fat will collapse the bed...... Follow me, money and beauty are not a problem, what you need to worry about is that your waist is not enough......"

The spy glanced at Zhao Yuanyan cautiously before daring to continue.

For an old man who has long lost that ability, opening his mouth and closing his mouth to mention his waist is humiliation.

Zhao Yuanyan's face was a little cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Those powerful people are not stupid, they will not be bewitched by such words, now they look at you and me, but if you don't get it right, it will collapse." You go, call the Marquis of Lingshui County and those people, this king will ask them, but you still remember the original promise. ”

He got up and looked out, and said coldly: "It's only a few months, and those powerful people have been united by Qin Wei's bewitchment. If they are allowed to continue like this, this Great Song Dynasty will still have a foothold in my Dingwang Mansion, and Qin Wei will be the culprit! There is also the third family Zhao Yun let that little cub, if the old man can't kill you, he won't be surnamed Zhao! ”

Someone on the side said: "Lord, if those people really get together......

"Then do it!"

"Someone!"

"Lord Wang!"

Zhao Yuanyan's eyes were more cold, and he ordered: "Take out those account books and deed taxes, and wait for them to come later, the old man will see when he arrives, whether they want money or death!" ”

"Intimidate first, if you don't get them again, the prince is clever!"

The magnates of the Great Song Dynasty have never been monolithic, and the royal family seems to indulge them, but they have subtly divided the interests in their hands.

When everyone's interests are the same, friends can do it, and brothers can do it.

But if there is a conflict of interests, these powerful people will turn their faces without anyone taking action.

From here, you can see the management style of the old Zhao family: mutual containment.

Whether it is the military or the DPRK and China, mutual containment is certain.

It is always the magnates who are the main objects of imperial power to watch out for, and it is absolutely impossible to be monolithic.

The prestige of Dingwangfu is high enough, and Zhao Yuanyan is powerful and ruthless enough, so he suppressed other magnates, but this is only limited to some interests exchanged.

For example, against the imperial power, the magnates at that time were extremely united and reaped a lot of benefits from the royal family.

It is only at these times that the role of the Dingwang Mansion will be magnified, and those powerful people will be willing to be vassals or even surrender.

People have vanity, and people like to be smug and proud.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanyan is also not exempt from vulgarity, but his vanity is much less than that of others.

There were three people later, one was Fu Guosheng of Lingshui County, and the other two were also powerful people, not enough were all small minions, if they were placed in the past, Zhao Yuanyan would not even look at them.

But not anymore.

Seeing that the power of the Shangjun Wangfu is getting bigger and bigger, these little magnates that the Dingwang Mansion used to look down on are now all under the banner of Zhao Yunrang's little cub.

This is a red flag.

The three of them saluted respectfully, and Zhao Yuanyan said lightly: "I heard that you have been pinched by the Qin family recently?" ”

The three of them looked up in confusion, and Fu Guosheng said with a smile: "The prince said that he was laughing, no one pinches us." ”

Fu Guosheng had a smile on his face, but he scolded more than one sentence in his heart.

Old immortal, if it weren't for the fact that you are the prince, who has the kung fu to come here to listen to your chatter.

"Pretend in front of so-and-so...... You are waiting for this king, do you know more than one, do you want this king to show it to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, see if you can still laugh! ”

Zhao Yuanyan spoke softly, and the momentum of the prince made people fall unconsciously.

Own family business, own knowledge.

The three of them looked at each other and were scared to their knees.

"The prince spares his life!"

There is more than one lawsuit against them.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, countless magnates have made a fortune, which of these people has a clean ass?

In the past, when Zhao Heng was there, he was so focused on the construction of the Great Song Dynasty that he didn't have time to take care of them.

Later, it was Liu E, but the power of the queen mother and the opposition were not good at asking the clan for blame, otherwise it would cause a backlash from the court.

So over the years, they have become more and more unscrupulous.

Forced buying and selling, bullying men and women, lending usury, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and disregarding people's lives...... As long as you can imagine the bad things, they almost can't do it.

But who made them powerful?

The Great Song Dynasty can even forgive, not to mention the clan magnates who can only be judged by the royal family.

Even if some magistrates knew that they were full of evil, they still couldn't take action to rectify them.

But Zhao Yuanyan is different, he is the first person in the clan, and he is the emperor's own uncle, if he makes a move...... The three of them panicked at once, and then their ugliness was revealed,

Zhao Yuanyan glanced at it in disgust and said, "Qin Wei raised the price, you just let him raise the price?" Twenty-five runs sell forty runs, isn't the profit of fifteen runs fragrant? Why the price increase? You're not cheap! If he raises the price, your profit will be low, so don't you hate him? If you are forced to do this, this king can make him pay the price! ”

Suppression of the powerful...... Qin Wei, how do you want to die?

As long as these people stood up against Qin Wei, Zhao Yuanyan, as an elder of the clan, would naturally have a reason to make a move.

But the three of them didn't panic this time, but looked aggrieved.

"Lord Wang, why are we cheap...... Nothing! ”

Fu Guosheng said with a confused face: "Let's ...... We are willing to raise the price. ”

Well?

Zhao Yuanyan was a little short for a while, and then looked at the other two.

"We are voluntary, Lord Wang, don't ...... In case Pingyang Hou repents, we won't be able to get the fragrance! ”

It's sick, right?

Or is it stupid?

I've never seen someone rushing to send money like this, isn't it cheap?

He looked at Fu Guosheng and said, "This matter will be decided for you and others, so if you have grievances, you can only come through the channels." ”

Compared with co-opting these gradually forming forces, Zhao Yuanyan felt that it didn't matter even if he spent some money.

Although Dingwangfu does not have the kind of money-making business of the Qin family, there are many industries under its name, which is nothing more than sharing some profits with them, sprinkling water.

He was ready to break the bank, even if it cost a lot of money, to bring down the alliance of these people.

As long as the alliance of these people collapses, then the circle of the magnates will still be dominated by the Dingwangfu, and those magnates who have seen the situation clearly will naturally re-attach themselves.

That's the most valuable thing!

He felt that Qin Wei was floating, thinking that these powerful people were easy to bully, who would die if he didn't die?

These magnates are the most unscrupulous in the face of interests, so Zhao Yuanyan believes that as long as the interests are sufficient, they will definitely be able to break up their alliance.

Sure enough, Fu Guosheng came up with a flattering face.

"Lord, let's ...... They are willing to raise prices, and they can't wait to increase prices! ”

What?

Zhao Yuanyan felt that there was something wrong with his ears.

He poked his ear with his finger and said coldly: "Are you willing to raise the price?" Wait, this is coaxing someone! ”

How can anyone who is willing to buy and increase the price?

Are these people powerful? It's clearly a bunch of fools!

Are you taking me Zhao Yuanyan for a fool?

There was more murder in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Since this is the case, then don't blame the old man, come on!" Send these evidence to the palace and give it to Your Majesty to have a good look at! ”

Since you are stubborn, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!

The two subordinates will go out with this large pile of papers and letters.

They don't have to verify that these things are true.

Even if they are fake, Zhao Yuanyan's methods can make them real.

"Lord ......"

Fu Guosheng grabbed the subordinate who was about to go out and begged: "We really voluntarily raise the price, it is voluntary......"

Zhao Yuanyan's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "Why volunteer?" ”

Crazy people and fools will give money willingly.

The three of them scrambled to speak.

"Pingyang Hou Gaoming, told our people about the way of business, and when we came back, we heard about it, and we also felt that it was a sudden opening, and we couldn't understand this truth as soon as possible, and the wealth of the world should be inexhaustible......"

There was an absurd atmosphere in the Dingwang Mansion.

Zhao Yuanyan felt that his IQ was no longer enough, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how those people listened to these nonsense

The funniest joke in the world is when someone takes it seriously.

"Qin Wei taught you that the way of doing business is to raise prices?"

These people have collectively become fools, otherwise who would be disgusted with more money.

"That's right!"

Fu Guosheng said sincerely with a smile: "Pingyang Hou said, the so-called business is to distinguish between the noble and the low, adjust the surplus and the shortage, and measure the distance and the near!" Urgent people's needs...... Good words, good words! ”

"It is said that only by selling cheap things into expensive ones can you do business, but it is one thing to say that you are doing it, and it is another thing to do it...... For example, in Western Xia, the northwest is bitter and barren, and there are few rich people, and those who can afford perfume are even rarer...... According to the normal idea, since the purchasing power is insufficient, it is time to sell at a lower price and open up the market......"

That's right! Normal people do that.

Zhao Yuanyan nodded in agreement.

But Fu Guosheng shook his head and said: "I thought so at first, but it wasn't until the family brought back Pingyang Hou's words...... I only knew that the reason why Qin Ji made money every day was not luck, it was because Qin Wei really made money! You deserve to make money! ”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, completely oblivious to his situation.

Pingyang Hou said...... The bitter cold land of Western Xia is short of materials, but the more this is the case, the more the noble tribes there are eager for the good things of our Great Song Dynasty...... And the fragrance...... This is a rare good thing, as long as the quantity is controlled...... Don't say forty times, even four hundred times, those people will only be more eager to do it! ”

"Why is this ......"

Zhao Yuanyan was stunned, but he faintly felt that there was some truth in his words.

He couldn't refute it, he could only sigh.

Fu Guosheng shook his head and sighed: "Pingyang Hou said that this is called hunger marketing...... If you sell 50 steamed buns for 100 people, you can sell them for 50 yuan, but what if 100 people are steamed buns? ”

Will people who can't buy steamed buns compete at high prices because they are hungry?

Those who bought steamed bread before and experienced the deliciousness of steamed bread, will they pay a higher price?

In other words, Qin Wei is not selling the fragrance itself.

It is a symbol of the status and status that the fragrance brings to those foreign nobles.

Just like the steppe tribes back then.

In order to compete for a steppe wolf made of ceramics, he can't wait to exterminate the other party.

It is also like the jade seal of the Central Plains Dynasty...... Their value is no longer worth money!
