Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 110
After receiving Li Shimin's order to meet at Lizheng Palace after the next day, Sun Xiangfu, Xi Jun, Zhao Long and others, who are used to getting up early recently, plan to go shopping in Dongshi after morning exercises. Pavement for family furniture.

"Master Sun, you are here."

In Zhizun's fur shop, Yang Qiu specially arranged for one of his subordinates, Shen Sanyuan, to take care of it in person. When he saw Sun Xiangfu coming, he immediately went out to greet him.

Sun Xiangfu hummed, and walked into the shop under his leadership. The shop is not small, about three to four hundred square meters, and the decoration is extremely luxurious. Although it is morning, there are many people in the shop, many and hopefuls. The waiters and waitresses in similar costumes in Jianglou were selling leather goods to customers and waiting for them to try them on.

"How are the sales going?"

"My lord, it's very good. In two days, almost 3000% of our inventory has been sold. Last night's accounting, the turnover is almost [-]." Shen Sanyuan replied.

"Only more than 3000 yuan? Bring the account book." Sun Xiangfu frowned when he heard this.

After a while, Sun Xiangfu knew the reason, threw the account book into Shen Sanyuan's arms and said, "I said that the price is at least ten times the cost, but I didn't ask you to set the price at ten times! Look, this Handbags can be set at eight or ten! Also, for high heels, no price below three will be allowed in the future. Leather boots in ordinary fur shops sell for more than one, and our price is only one or two. Are the four words Supreme Leather Goods correct?"

The Department of Animal Husbandry produced nearly ten thousand pieces of reserve goods during this period, and sold [-]% of the goods, which means at least one or two thousand pieces, and the average price of one piece is less than two times. At the price of ordinary leather goods, the feeling of being tall can’t be reflected, and I’m even more sorry for the logo of a peony flower and four small characters on the supreme leather goods on each product.

"However, the price has already been set. Now that the price has been raised, I'm afraid some customers will complain." Shen Sanyuan said depressedly.

In his opinion, selling [-] guan for [-] guan is already a huge profit. According to the price Sun Xiangfu just said, it is more than [-] or [-] times.

"Complaints? People who have used our products will probably only praise them. If there are too many other comments, it means that the design of our products is not good enough. Besides, the products are all clearly marked with prices. They choose them by themselves. If they are not good, customers will not take them." ...If you want a reason to explain the price increase to customers, tell them that the annual output of these things is fixed, and if you miss it, you will have no chance to buy it again."

"However, we still have a lot of goods in reserve! Moreover, we are still increasing production in the future, when the time comes..." Shen Sanyuan said honestly.

"Just this amount of goods, how much more? Chang'an has a population of more than 10, noble families and wealthy households account for at least 20. You only sell one or two thousand pieces of goods now, and your market share is less than [-]%. You need to worry. Can’t you sell the accumulated goods? Let me set a small goal for you first. Within a year, let all the rich people in Chang’an own at least one or two of our products, [-] pieces. Can the workshop of the Animal Husbandry Department make it this year?
Moreover, who said that only Chang'an sells these products? Tomorrow, I will directly have someone take away [-]% of the inventory in your warehouse. By then, Luoyang, Yangzhou, and even Shuzhong will distribute some of them. So, you have to put Raise the price up, otherwise, you will really run out of stock in a few days. "

Hearing that, Shen Sanyuan dared not raise any different opinions anymore. He was not born as a businessman, so he didn't know anything about market research. In this regard, Sun Xiangfu didn't need to do any research. Every time the show started, he ordered tables at Wangjianglou I know the approximate number of rich people in Chang'an. Every time it is full, there are nearly [-] people. Most of them can't get a seat because they go late, so they need the waiter to explain.

Moreover, not everyone has the habit of going out to crowd people to watch a show.People like Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda have never been to Wangjiang Tower.However, these people and their families all need to wear shoes and carry bags!

Imagine that carrying a briefcase is much better than using a cloth bag to hold official documents and files. Moreover, the leather bag can sometimes prevent rain, and it will not be like a cloth bag. When you press it easily, the contents inside Deformation, printing, you know, hemp paper in this era is not so reliable.

After instructing Shen Sanyuan on the management and decoration, Sun Xiangfu came to the shop of the imperial family furniture again. The craftsmen of the period were very real, and the things were made very solidly, so they were basically bought and sold in one batch. This price should be more outrageous than those consumables produced by Supreme Leather Goods, but they also held ten About times the profit in selling.

Secondly, Sun Xiangfu asked them to imitate the furniture made by the craftsmen of the Sun Mansion. After a few months, they really only made those things in the Sun Mansion, and it was not comprehensive.

"Then what, Zhao Shuli, right? From now on, take down all the price tags in your shop, triple them, and hang them up. In addition, notify the workshop to pick out some skilled craftsmen to form several research and development One group specializes in new-style furniture that can bring people convenience, one group specializes in how to improve the comfort of furniture, and the other group specializes in creating consumable toys for children to play with. The products should be new, strange, comfortable and practical , fun, comprehensive..."

Sun Xiangfu didn't lead Xi Junmai and Zhao Long to the direction of the imperial city until it was three poles high in the sun. He believed that Jin gave Sun Xiangfu this education. Business with the royal family will be on the right track.

Leaving Xi Junmai and Zhao Long to drink tea in their yamen, Sun Xiangfu went to the harem with his palace wearing badge.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Empress."

In Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun was having breakfast with Li Shimin, when Sun Xiangfu came, the couple didn't stop.

"Tell me! Why do you want to build a ship?"

"Uh, didn't your majesty tell me to read more books earlier, so besides farming, I have not been idle during this time. I have read a lot of books, especially the history of Han. There is one thing that I am very puzzled about. , that is why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the wild land of Jiaozhi at all costs, and he remembered it in his heart when he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Recently, I heard a diner from a Hu merchant in the Wangjiang Tower say that there is a kind of rice in Jiaozhi, which has many spikes and long grains and is drought-resistant. It can produce several seasons a year. He couldn't finish the food, so the minister realized that it turned out that Emperor Wu of the Han had intercourse for food. "Sun Xiangfu thought for a while before saying.

"Nonsense, you asked Yang Shunshui, an old boatman from Lantian County, to start building boats last year. At that time, you hadn't even become an official yet! How dare you lie to me after reading that book?" Li Shimin slapped his chopsticks feigning anger. road.

"Uh, at that time Weichen built the boat for fishing! At that time, I thought that there were more fish in the Weihe River than in the small river in front of the village, because the Weihe River was bigger than the small river, and the sea was countless times bigger than the Weihe River. The fish in it must be bigger than the Weihe River. There are countless times more fish in the Wei River, so..."

Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "You boy will think that fishing at sea is not easy. If you are not careful, even people and boats will be swept away by wind and waves. Are you so afraid of death, dare to go into the sea?" ?”

"I didn't dare to do it before, I just wanted to send a few fishermen to do it, but now I dare, Your Majesty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty played Cochin for food. Cochin has a very short growth cycle, and it can be harvested in two months. The mature rice, Weichen wants to introduce it to Datang."

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled again and pointed at Sun Xiangfu, "It's because of ignorance, even after reading the history of the Han Dynasty, I know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked Jiaozhi, so why can't I think that those grains can only grow in Jiaozhi where the climate is warm all year round?" Well, if it is useful to introduce the Central Plains, why did Emperor Wu of the Han need to mobilize his troops and spend a lot of troops in a wild land."

"Your Majesty, in fact, there are many places in Tang Dynasty that have a warm climate throughout the year, such as Lingnan and Yazhou." Sun Xiangfu reminded.

Based on the water conservancy situation in the Han Dynasty, it is no wonder how much water was available in the north. At that time, Lingnan was called the land of Nanman, and it was actually managed by the King of Yue. Even the Jiangnan area was not as developed as it is now, and the population is sparse. It has experienced the later Three Kingdoms. The Soochow regime’s continuous suppression of ethnic minorities and decades of Han culture promotion stabilized politics and people’s livelihood and became a livable place for Han people. Therefore, even if Champa rice was introduced during the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it could not be greatly improved. He promoted planting in a large area, because at that time the country's population and center of gravity were in the north and not in the south, this kind of rice was a bit tasteless to him.

But now, okay!When Sun Xiangfu mentioned Lingnan, Li Shimin frowned. He really didn't think Lingnan was so important before.

"There may be a rebellion in Lingnan, do you still dare to go?" Li Shimin was silent for a long time, then suddenly said.

"Well, I'm not even afraid of the sea, why should I be afraid of a mere rebellion? Besides, didn't your Majesty say that maybe it's just that there is no real rebellion." Sun Xiangfu said with a dignified look.

He is very sure that there will be no major rebellion in Lingnan, because the film and television dramas of later generations have basically never mentioned it. Even if there was a rebellion, wouldn't he avoid it?

As far as the current level of shipbuilding is concerned, he doesn't think there will be a ship on the sea that can run faster than the five-barrel water steamer he designed and manufactured. You must know that even in modern times, five-barrel sailboats are also great tools for sea navigation.

"It's rare to see the word "integrity" from your kid. Since you are going to go to sea, then help me to make a stop in Lingnan along the way."

All right!Sun Xiangfu was sure that Li Shimin's mind was still not on Champa Rice. He thought that the former Han Dynasty had vetoed it, so there must be some flaws in this thing, ancient scholars!I like to learn from history.

"Your Majesty, please tell me that as long as my little arms and legs can handle it, I will die." Sun Xiangfu said helplessly.

"Help me send some brocade and new farm tools to Lingnan, and see how Feng An will react."

The new farm tools in the Ministry of Industry are mainly Quyuan plow and water wheel, these two things were designed by Sun Xiangfu!However, Lingnan is mountainous, and the barbarians are good at hunting, and their farming skills are inferior to those of the Han people. These two things are scarce for them.

"Uh, it turned out to be a gift! This humble minister is good at it. In my opinion, the products of the Supreme Leather Goods and the products of the royal family's private possessions can actually be given to Chief Feng..."

"Shut up, boy, this is a reward." Li Shimin became really angry again when he heard the words, and interrupted Sun Xiangfu.

He is a majestic emperor, when he needs to give gifts to his subjects to please, he must not make concessions because of the problem of face.

"Oh yes, it's a reward. Now there are a lot of supreme leather goods and royal family furniture in stock, and the production is still expanding. Your Majesty should reward the ministers more." Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu changed his smile embarrassingly. road.

"There is no credit, why should I reward the ministers for nothing?" Li Shimin knew that there was something wrong when he saw Sun Xiangfu's face.
