Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 39 Solving the refugee problem

Rolling her eyes slyly, Qin Ziling felt that she could handle it well, so she was full of confidence.

Xuanyuan Yi nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and ordered: "A few days ago, there was a flood in the south, there were a lot of refugees, and there were also many bandits who took advantage of the chaos, so try not to go out. If you want to go out, just Bring two guards to ensure safety."

He has been busy with this matter recently. There are so many refugees, and the money for disaster relief has been distributed, but the money that actually reaches the victims is very little, and it is not easy for them to check.

That's why there are a lot of refugees going north.

"Yeah, don't worry, my lord, I will protect myself well."

After Xuanyuan Yi finished his meal, he plunged into the study again. He had to come up with a better way to accommodate the refugees who came to the capital.

So many refugees also need a lot of money, and now the national treasury is empty.

And he had to let the money for disaster relief really reach the hands of the people.

In the study, Xuanyuan Yi discussed with several adults.

In fact, based on Qin Ziling's experience of living thousands of years longer, she has a very good way to stabilize the refugees without paying money from the state.

But she was a woman in ancient times, and there were palace rules that stated that women were not allowed to participate in politics.

So now Qin Ziling is in a particularly embarrassing state, saying it is not true, not saying it is not true.

Suddenly, Qin Ziling had a flash of inspiration, why didn't she borrow someone else's advice?

After the adults left, Qin Ziling walked into Xuanyuan Yi's study with a cup of tea.

Seeing Qin Ziling coming to look for him in the middle of the night, Xuanyuan Yi's eyes were full of doubts.

Putting down the tray in his hand, Qin Ziling took the initiative to pinch Xuanyuan Yi's shoulders for the first time, and his movements were gentle and moderate, which was not bad.

"My lord, I will tell you a story. There is a shop in the story. They sell relatively new things, so there are few customers who understand this stuff, and their business is very poor.

One day, the shopkeeper was really desperate, because others didn't understand their stuff at all, so the boss took out all the things in the store, put them at the door of the store, used them one by one, and then Many people were attracted by the actions of the shopkeeper, and at the same time, everyone also understood their products.

In the end, the goods of that shopkeeper were snapped up like crazy. The other shopkeepers saw it and displayed it like that one by one. They tried various methods and invested a lot of money in it, just to promote their products.

After hearing this story, I was thinking, if we provide a platform for those merchants to display their products, will we earn a lot of money, so that we don’t have to worry about anything. "

After a big twist, Qin Ziling almost couldn't get back on her own. Now she is waiting for Xuanyuan Yi to ask her the specific method.

"Platform, what kind of platform?"

Sure enough, Xuanyuan Yi frowned and took the bait.

"It is that we give them a chance to promote their products, but they have to pay us."

To put it bluntly, what Qin Ziling meant was that they are now like an entertainment company, helping to promote the store.

"Oh, but are you sure that those shopkeepers will listen to you?" Xuanyuan Yi's eyes lighted up at Qin Ziling's thoughts, but he knew that it would definitely not be easy to carry out this matter.

"The prince can wait and see. Tomorrow, only some of the prince's guards are needed to maintain order, and the concubine can solve the refugee problem."

Because she really didn't want to see so many people suffer, Qin Ziling couldn't help but stand up.

"Okay, here is the token, the guards of the palace can be transferred as you like!" Because of Qin Ziling's confident tone, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't help but get excited.He really felt that Qin Ziling was a genius, and if she was a man, her future should not be underestimated.

On the second day, Qin Ziling washed up, ate breakfast, and left the palace with a guard dressed in plain clothes.

As if on purpose, Qin Ziling ran directly to a shop selling grain.

As soon as he entered the door, Qin Ziling saw the guy dozing off.

Patting the table, Qin Ziling woke up the guy.

"Ah! Master, what do you need, Master, we have all kinds of food here." Seeing a guest coming, the clerk greeted warmly.

"Brother, please call your shopkeeper, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

"Look for the shopkeeper, oh, okay, I'll call the shopkeeper."

The little guy is still in a daze because he just woke up.

After a while, a man who looked like a book scholar came out.

"Master looking for me?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Qin Ziling realized that the shopkeeper really looked like a scholar.

"Yes, I have some things I want to discuss with the shopkeeper. I wonder if it is convenient for the shopkeeper?"

"Please, young master, let's go to the inner room to talk."

Qin Ziling nodded, and the shopkeeper led them into the room.

The shopkeeper poured Qin Ziling a cup of tea.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here today to discuss business with you. I have a way to make the shopkeeper's business better." Qin Ziling said, taking a sip of tea.

But after hearing Qin Ziling's words, the shopkeeper's expression began to change. At first he thought Qin Ziling was trustworthy, but now the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Qin Ziling was a lie.

"If the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, well, this is 1 taels of silver. I'll buy some grain from the shopkeeper for experimentation. If the shopkeeper's business improves, you can bring it back to me."

Seeing the shopkeeper's disbelief, Qin Ziling directly took out 1 taels of silver, his tone full of affirmation.

The reason why Qin Ziling chose this shop was because it looked big, but the business was mediocre, so he would definitely be moved when he heard the temptation.

"Can you tell me about your plan." Indeed, the shopkeeper's heart was moved.

"The shopkeeper also knows that there are a lot of refugees in the city now. We can choose to give porridge with charity. By doing this, on the one hand, we can let everyone know that our store is a very conscientious store. On the other hand, we can Make some cryptic slogans in the porridge place, so that others can see it at a glance, but it doesn't look obtrusive."

Of course, Qin Ziling won't tell the shopkeeper. Another method she uses is to let people go around telling everyone how good this store is. It's honest and the shopkeeper is kind.

After hearing Qin Ziling's method, the shopkeeper's eyes became loose, but he still couldn't believe it.He hadn't even heard of those things.

"The shopkeeper, I have also said that this is 1 taels of silver. If I finish doing this and the shopkeeper finds out that I have lost the money, the 1 taels will be the compensation for the shopkeeper."

Seeing Qin Ziling's confident gaze, the shopkeeper became even more tempted.

"But, can you tell me, what is your purpose for doing this? Also, if my business improves a lot, how will I be paid?"

"The purpose is to let the shopkeeper willingly help refugees. When the shopkeeper helps, the shopkeeper will not lose money, and the reward will not be used. If the shopkeeper makes a lot of money, he can help poorer families."

After listening to Qin Ziling's words, the shopkeeper's eyes widened. The person in front of him, who took such a big risk by himself, only wanted to help the refugees.Thinking about how he has been studying for so many years, he actually...

"Okay, I promise you, what shall we do next?"

Inspired by Qin Ziling, the shopkeeper immediately agreed.

"The shopkeeper only needs to give me five thousand catties of rice. Tomorrow, the shopkeeper will see the effect."

Back in the palace, Qin Ziling urgently summoned all the servants in the palace.

Instructing them to write banners, as well as those who wrote small advertisements, the entire palace, except for the ones in the Da Furen's yard, were all too busy to touch the ground.

In addition to these, Qin Ziling first sent some guards to the streets to publicize. In the afternoon, the shopkeeper of the Grain Storage Bureau will donate porridge so that the refugees can go to receive porridge in the afternoon.

He also told some clever little maids in Lingxiangju. Under the leadership of Lu He, they walked out of the mansion and wandered towards crowded places, while loudly saying how good the shopkeeper of the Grain Storage Bureau is, how good it is, anyway He praised everything he could boast about.

Qin Ziling directed some designs in the mansion.

I was busy until Shenshi in the afternoon, and everything was finished. As soon as I was done, Qin Ziling hurriedly led some guards in casual clothes, as well as the trustworthy little maids in her yard, all dressed in uniform green shirts, and the group was mighty Came to the porridge place.That is, in front of the grain storage bureau.

After setting things up, they immediately started cooking porridge. Slowly, when some refugees saw that the cloth porridge they mentioned in the morning was really available, they lined up one by one under the supervision of the guards.

After a while, the porridge was ready, and the refugees focused on drinking the porridge.And those who lived in the wealthy families in Kyoto looked strangely in the opposite restaurant.

They also heard how good the boss of the Grain Storage Bureau was. Looking at it now, even the words on the banner were all about helping the world and saving people.

As soon as these people returned home, they told their housekeepers to go to the grain storage bureau to buy grain in the future.

As for ordinary people, they have food in their hands, but they have to choose a shopkeeper who will not lie to them. Now they look at the Grain Storage Bureau and make up their minds. They will sell the grain to the Grain Storage Bureau in the future. of.

Shi Porridge was busy until the sun went down, and finally there were no refugees. Because of the guards, he easily solved a lot of troublemakers.

The next day, Qin Ziling continued to do this in front of the door.

And Qin Ziling was busy at the door, and the stores of the grain storage bureau were also very busy. Because of the natural disaster in the south, the shopkeepers of these grain bureaus have not been able to receive goods recently.

But today, not only a large number of big families came to the Grain Storage Bureau, saying that they want them to supply food all the time, but also a lot of small people came, and everyone scrambled to sell the grain to the Grain Storage Bureau.
