010 Bianliang Baiye
When Qiao Feng heard Zhao Ji's words, he first subconsciously shook his head, and when he saw that Zhao Ji's face did not seem to be fake, he solemnly lowered his head and thought about it. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Our beggar gang has no other strengths, but there are a lot of vulgar men, and they really can't be used for official appearance." Zhao Gongzi, you are a noble man from heaven, what do you want to do to make a living, you have a lot of good talents available. If you get entangled with the beggars, one will damage your reputation, and we really can't help you. ”
Zhao Ji shook his head and waved his hand and said: "What is the reputation of the unscrupulous, I am an idle and unscrupulous prince, and I only have the duty of extravagant enjoyment in this life." If you can help the beggars because of this, it will be a great thing to be very good! Brother Qiao, wait a while, I will go to a few people in the house who are familiar with the market business to ask, and then we will discuss it carefully. ”
While speaking, Zhao Ji didn't care about Qiao Feng's reaction, and strode out of the room. His steps were light and agile, and his mood was very happy, and he was very satisfied with his brilliant thoughts. If you just have a good relationship with Qiao Feng alone, as long as you have similar interests, you can be attracted by Qiao Feng as a close friend. But if it is extended to the entire beggar gang, then it needs to come up with real dry goods. The so-called convincing people with virtue is just empty talk, and they must be made aware that there will be a steady stream of benefits if they follow them, so as to win the hearts of the people.
Zhao Ji walked halfway and met Liang Shicheng who Shi Shiran had returned, so he instructed him to hurry up and find some people who were familiar with Bianliang City's livelihood and various ways to make money. Liang Shicheng didn't feel too strange when he learned that Zhao Ji wanted to partner with the beggars to do some business, Bianliang City was prosperous in industry and commerce, and many noble officials and eunuchs had private business transactions, otherwise how could they withstand the rich and noble pleasures of spending money like water. Even if Prince Zhao Ji wants to engage in one or two side hustles, it is not unusual.
After receiving the order, Liang Shicheng immediately went to find someone. As Zhao Ji's personal head of the chamberlain, he is no stranger to these things, and even has a few dry shares under his name. If you want to find someone at this time, you will naturally be very familiar with the way.
After about an hour, Liang Shicheng returned to the courtyard with a group of more than a dozen people. Among this group of people are men and women, old men, strong men, and even monks and Taoists. As soon as he saw this formation, Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Liang Shicheng had already stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, these are the leaders in all walks of life in Bianliang City. If you want to ask about anything, just ask. ”
Zhao Ji just wanted to make a simple inquiry, and he didn't want Liang Shicheng to make such a big battle, but it was okay to take this opportunity to have an in-depth understanding of the livelihood of Bianliang City in this era. He said to everyone: "I bother everyone to run once, Xiao Wang has thanked you first." Let's introduce yourself. ”
Everyone didn't dare to thank them, and then they introduced themselves in turn, although their demeanor was respectful, but they were not formal. In this era, there is no popular bowing ceremony, and civilians can deal with high-ranking officials and nobles without humility or arrogance, which is not a great rebellious attitude.
The audience introduced their identities and engaged in their own professions, and Zhao Ji knew that these people really included all classes and industries in Bianliang City. The old man was an official from the old list, and his career did not have much future, so he received a salary for an idle job, and he ran a well-known calligraphy and painting shop. The Taoist priest is the Taoist priest who sells creative medicine in the Taoist temple outside the Liangmen, and the monk is even more amazing, he is the deacon monk of the outer courtyard of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and is in charge of the monthly trade meeting of the surname of Xiangguo Temple.
After knowing the origin of these people, Zhao Ji asked: "A friend of mine wants to run some businesses in Bianliang City, but he doesn't have an idea what to do, I wonder if you can teach me?"
Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, and there was a look of embarrassment on their faces. Seeing their reaction, Zhao Ji was a little strange, he just asked some questions, as for being embarrassed?
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and one of the stewards of Fan Lou stepped forward and said: "What do the prince's friends want to do to make a living, our Fan Lou naturally wants to help, so we will offer a percent of the dry shares in the building, and hope that the prince will accept it with a smile." ”
Zhao Ji was quite surprised when he heard this, he just wanted to ask some questions, how did this person think of sending the dry stock on? While being suspicious, Zhao Ji turned his head to look at Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Yicheng is not a small number of dry stocks. Although Fan Lou is known as the first of the seventy-two restaurants in Tokyo City, there are many people who look at it, such as King Wu, King Cao, King Xinxing and the Duke of Lu, all of whom only have one percent of the shares, and it is said that there is also an annual income of nearly 200,000 yuan. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, only one percent of the dry shares can be divided into 200,000 yuan a year, so how much income can this Fan Lou make in a year? As for the powerful families that Liang Shicheng said in his mouth, Zhao Ji thought carefully for a moment before he remembered. King Wu and King Cao were both his uncles, and Emperor Shenzong was expected to inherit the throne when he died. The Xinxing County King is the maiden family of the late Empress Dowager Gao, and the Duke of Lu is the descendant of Cao Bin, the meritorious general who founded the country. In this way, almost all of the top noble families in Bianliang City are stained with Fan Tower, no wonder this Fan Tower can stand tall in Bianliang City.
After being amazed, Zhao Ji remembered that he didn't want to force someone to do the stock today, so he said: "Don't misunderstand, Xiao Wang invited you here today to sincerely ask for some knowledge from the merchants, as for the livelihood of your families, I won't take a penny!"
Hearing this, everyone was skeptical, and turned their heads to look at Liang Shicheng, wanting to get some hints from him. When Liang Shicheng heard Zhao Ji's statement, he also lowered his head and thought for a moment, before he understood what Zhao Ji meant, and then said to everyone: "Our prince has benevolence and righteousness, and he will not force your earnings. It's just that how you run your own industry, you have to talk carefully to the prince. ”
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after they sat down, they all started talking about their business experiences. Although they each operate different livelihoods, to put it bluntly, it is actually the methods that no one has, no one has me, no one has me, and I am cheap, and then add some unique tips and tricks to engage in some eye-catching gimmicks. They are not worried about what strong competitors they will set up for themselves if they tell their business tricks, after all, Zhao Ji's identity is there, if he really has the heart to lower his body and want to grab food from them, whether he says it or not, it makes no difference.
Zhao Ji listened very carefully from beginning to end, and had a new understanding of the prosperity of Bianliang City's commerce, but it was difficult to bring these people's business to the beggars for a while. Seeing that everyone had no new explanations, Zhao Ji waved his hand and asked Liang Shicheng to send these people away, and he walked to Qiao Feng's room.
At the same time, in Qiao Feng's room, the helmsman and two beggar gang disciples returned after eating, and they all learned from Qiao Feng that Zhao Ji was willing to make a living with the beggar gang, and they were all overjoyed. The helmsman said happily: "Gang leader, this is a good opportunity! In the past, our beggar gang also planned to open one or two halls in Tokyo City, but because there were too many entanglements involved, the slightest carelessness would provoke the powerful people, so they have not been able to fulfill their wishes." It's rare that Duan Wang Ye is willing to help, if he can really open up one or two financial roads in Bianliang City, it will be too helpful for our beggar gang!"
Qiao Feng sighed and said: "But our beggar gang was born in the rivers and lakes after all, if we are too deeply entangled with Zhao Gongzi, it will inevitably damage his reputation." Moreover, although most of these brothers in the gang are brave, when it comes to the craftsmanship of hundreds of craftsmen, they are really sparse. In other state capitals, these disciples can also help people take care of their homes and escort their goods, but there are 800,000 forbidden troops guarding around this Bianliang City, and who is willing to ask us beggars to do things? If they just ignore the entrance of the hall, do they really want all the disciples to go to the streets to beg for food and make a living?"
After hearing Qiao Feng's words, the rudder lord pondered for a moment before he said: "Helper, if we beggars want to enter Bianliang City, we really need to rely on such a tough way as Duan Wangye. But if you really partner up to run something for a living, Duan Wang Ye can also benefit from it. Even if Duan Wang Ye himself doesn't look down on these small profits, these livelihoods will be passed down from generation to generation, and his children and grandchildren can also benefit from this. To put it irreverently, the fortune of the world is flowing in this day, and the change of dynasty is also in an instant. If our beggar gang can sustain these livelihoods for a long time, we may be able to help the descendants of the upper prince in a hundred and ten years......"
"As for what kind of industry we can operate in Bianliang City, although we don't have any eyebrows at the moment, but this Bianliang City is a good world, and a body with sound limbs on top of his head, as long as he can enter the city, can he still be starved to death?
Qiao Feng didn't know that if he opened the hall to Bianliang City, the significance to the beggar gang would be heavy, and he took a big step back, even if it was just begging along the street, with the prosperous land of Bianliang City, the harvest would be much higher than the boundary next to it. It's just that in his opinion, it is really not in line with the morality of the rivers and lakes to completely take advantage of others.
When Qiao Feng was in a dilemma, Zhao Ji walked into the room with a smile. He thought things through in a flash of inspiration halfway, and he wanted to do business with the beggars, but he was just looking for an excuse to deepen the connection between them, and he didn't have to make money every day. Even if you really can't find a good way to make money for the beggars, it's a big deal to make up for them yourself. Zhao Ji has inquired with Liang Shicheng in detail about the various inputs of the palace, his own fiefdoms, titles, and several fictitious titles, plus the properties rewarded by the royal family over the years, all of them add up, and the annual income is as high as more than 300,000 yuan. Although it is not as good as Fan Lou, who entered the gold that day, it is also a huge and staggering wealth.
With so much money, Zhao Ji couldn't spend it at all after he quit the bad habit of spending money in the past. Even if half of it is used every year to subsidize the beggars, it is worth it in Zhao Ji's opinion. Thinking like this, Zhao Ji's thinking became flexible, and he soon thought of a business suitable for the beggars to engage in.
After walking into the room and sitting down, Zhao Ji smiled at Qiao Feng and said, "Brother Qiao, do you remember the dock where we met?"
