Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 115 Young Young’s New Errand

Zhu Tianqi didn't bother to care about him, and said to himself: "Since you have agreed to serve me, let's first talk about the errands you will do for me next. You don't have to worry, it's still you What you are best at doing, what I want you to do for me is very simple, which is to help me make money by doing business in the Jiangnan area. The products are provided by me, and you are only responsible for selling them.

But I want to say one thing up front. This matter must be handled in your name from beginning to end. People must not know that you are doing errands for me! "

Young Shaoqing felt even more strange when he heard this. He couldn't guess what the emperor meant, but on the surface, he nodded quickly to show that he had remembered it.

He couldn't figure out the emperor's intention, and he didn't want to think about it in detail. He only knew that as long as he strictly followed the emperor's instructions, he would be fine. However, some things still had to be said in advance. Young Shaoqing raised his hand and gave a salute. , and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen will naturally obey the Emperor's instructions. However, Your Majesty, if Wei Chen makes too much noise in Ying Tian Mansion, I'm afraid some trouble will come to your door. I'm afraid Yi Chen, a mere fifth-grade official, will Even self-protection is difficult to do, and by then, I'm afraid I will miss your errand, Your Majesty."

When Zhu Tianqi heard this, he immediately said: "Don't worry about this. Since I plan to do business in Yingtian, I won't just send you to fight alone. If you have any big or small affairs in Yingtian, I won't do it alone." Jin Yiwei will be sent over to assist, and Jin Yiwei will also be responsible for the transportation and handover of goods and silver on weekdays. If you really encounter any trouble, I will help you solve it!"

As soon as young Shaoqing heard the word "Jinyiwei", he immediately lost all worries. Of course, he also knew that if the emperor arranged for him to cooperate with Jinyiwei to do this errand, I'm afraid there would be no profit to be made.

But whether you can make money or not is not important now. Being able to help the emperor on errands is a great opportunity to gain the emperor's trust and use. If you serve the emperor well, your future will be unlimited in the future. Why do you care about that? Silver?
The young man immediately stood up and gave a salute and said: "Your Majesty has thought very carefully. If I can get the help of the royal guards, I will have no worries anymore!"

Zhu Tianqi raised his hand to signal him to sit down and said, "Okay, now we should talk about doing business in Yingtian. You have been in Yingtian for so many years and have often dealt with businessmen. You have no idea about the market conditions." You should know it very well, please tell me first, what products are more popular in Yingtian now, and what transactions are more profitable?"

Young Qing thought for a moment and then immediately answered: "As for the most popular product, it is naturally the small Thai mirror box that Your Majesty sent to Yingtian for sale. It was sold out as soon as it arrived in Yingtian. , the supply simply exceeds the demand, and the price has doubled!”

Young Shaoqing's words were somewhat flattering to him, but when it came to this, Zhu Tianqi was indeed very satisfied and very happy. This batch of mirror boxes has a total of [-], which is nearly more than the last time. Double, he was still unsure at first. He was worried that the three thousand mirror boxes sold last time had already met Yingtian's market demand, and it would be difficult to sell this batch of mirror boxes after they were shipped.

Even Zhu Tianqi was mentally prepared to sell at a low price. As long as these 10,000 mirror boxes could be sold for the money of the [-] mirror boxes last time, he would accept it. However, he never expected that this time Five thousand mirror boxes were not only much easier to sell than last time, but the unit price was nearly twice as high, and the income more than doubled as last time. It directly helped me earn [-]+ taels of silver.

Zhu Tianqi was in a good mood, and the flattery was very helpful to him, but he was not confused by the flattery, so he immediately said: "Although these mirror boxes are very popular, This time I did make a lot of money, but this time I shipped a total of [-] mirror boxes. I am afraid that this time it should be enough to meet the market demand. If I still sell mirror boxes next time, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to sell!”

Although young people have never done business in person, they deal with those wealthy businessmen and gentry every day and have seen them. Naturally, they can understand Zhu Tianqi's worries. Although there are many rich people in Yingtian, no one is idle. It’s okay to buy so many mirror boxes. When everyone’s mirror boxes at home are enough, the mirror boxes will no longer be sold.However, the young man naturally could not make the emperor worry, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the demand for mirror boxes in Yingtian Mansion will not disappear in a short time, and even if they can't be sold in Yingtian Mansion, there are still some in the surrounding area. There are many places where you can find business, such as Yangzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, where wealthy businessmen gather, and people in these places also like to buy Thai and Western products!"

Zhu Tianqi thought about it for a while. The Jiangnan area is so big that it is not so easy to saturate the market. But even so, the more markets you operate, the larger the market area, the greater the operating costs, especially today. In this era where transportation and communication are very inconvenient, we still need to find ways to expand product categories.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tianqi suddenly looked at Nian Shaoqing strangely, and Nian Shaoqing was a little scared by his stare.

Zhu Tianqi then asked with a smile on his face: "Master Nian, is this year your Geng?"

Although young Shaoqing felt strangely nervous, he still hurriedly replied: "I don't dare, I don't dare, tell the emperor, Wei Chen is already fifty-two this year!"

"You're 52, how many wives and concubines do you have at home?" Zhu Tianqi continued to look at young Shaoqing with a smile on his face and asked.

Young Shaoqing felt even more strange when he heard this question. It was reasonable for the emperor to ask about his age. What did he mean by asking him how many wives and concubines he had?
But even though he couldn't understand the reason why the emperor asked him this question, he still answered honestly: "In reply to the emperor, there are three concubines in Weichen's family!"

After Zhu Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "There are three concubines. Counting the main wife and the first-in-law girls, there are five women. Mr. Nian, you are so powerful. I don't know if you can eat it on weekdays." Can you bear it?"

When young Shaoqing heard this, he couldn't help but blush and smiled awkwardly: "The emperor is joking. The reason why I have so many concubines is just to carry on the family line!"

When Zhu Tianqi heard this, he immediately laughed, but he did not let young Shaoqing go, but continued to ask: "I wonder, Mr. Nian, you have to deal with so many women at your age, but can you still cope with it?"

Young Shaoqing was even more embarrassed when he was asked this question. He didn't know if he was thinking wrongly. He always felt that the emperor today was so unruly, always saying such unpalatable things!
