Red makeup against the world

Chapter 660 Monopoly
Fan Bin shook his head decisively: "It must be right!"

Princess Chunhe sneered for a while: "I don't know who is so overbearing! It seems that my prince brother is short of money again."

The Ningxing Company was originally the property of the Crown Princess Fu's mother's family.But since the crown prince came back from disaster relief three years ago, the crown prince has taken the business under his own name and handed it over to Wang Miaoyan to manage it on the charge of Ningxing firm's failure to escort the disaster relief food.

Not many people in Beijing knew about this matter, but Princess Chunhe was one of them.

Concubine Fu Xian seemed to lead the little prince to live a leisurely life in the palace, but how could she not pay attention to such a major event of taking the throne?This is related to whether she can survive after the death of Emperor Qinglong.

She has her contacts and news channels, and she pays special attention to the prince and King Qi.She is one of the four concubines, and when the time comes to see her, she can't do it if she wants to stand on the sidelines.Besides, she has always planned for a rainy day, so how can she leave her fate to God's mercy?

Therefore, Chunhe Princess also knew more about the news from the prince.The crown prince didn't intend to keep the matter of Ningxing's company secret. The East Palace spent a lot of money. If there is no source, Emperor Qinglong may be suspicious.

After the Ningxing Company was owned by Wang Miaoyan, she expelled all disobedient people, leaving only those who obeyed.If one thinks that Ningxing Company is acting arrogantly because of the influence of the Crown Princess, the current behavior can be called vicious and vicious.

Where are they doing business?Whenever they encounter a competitor who is weaker than them, they will either annex them directly, or ruin the opponent's family.In today's Gyeonggi, apart from imperial merchants and those centuries-old brands, small and medium-sized merchants are as fearful as tigers.

The reason why Wang Miaoyan dared to act recklessly had a lot to do with the low status of the businessman.

She herself comes from the Wang family in Jiangnan Dao, and she has seen a lot of the faces of those officials' daughters since she was a child.Even the Qian family can rely on the power of being a water bandit to push the Wang family into a desperate situation.It is conceivable that the government does not pay much attention to businessmen.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom.Farmers can still go to the government office to complain, and scholars can even see the officials without kneeling.Who dares to be disrespectful to those who have skills?
Only businessmen, although they trade goods north and south, but earn a lot, they will be pointed at their noses and called profiteers.Earn less, and the dividend at the end of the year is too thin, and you will be scolded as a black-hearted boss.

Once the government has something to do, the first apportionment of bridges and roads is the local wealthy businessman.Coupled with tax money, money spent on opening up relationships, etc., merchants are the treasury in the eyes of the government.If you are unwilling to pay, the government has many ways to make your business difficult.

In the Gaomang Dynasty, merchants looked extremely glamorous, and there were groups of servants coming in and out.The pain in this, only they themselves know.This is why, once you become a big businessman, you will let your children and grandchildren study.Only when there are scholars who are officials in the family, can this business continue for a long time.

Therefore, the real imperial merchants, time-honored brands and other luxury merchants all have extraordinary backgrounds behind them.The Xu family was able to expand their business so quickly in just a few years, apart from Xu Wenmin's true business prodigy, the Empress Dowager Xiao standing behind him was the most important factor.

But not everyone can have a backer.Those small and medium-sized businesses that are struggling to operate have to endure layers of exploitation from the government and squeeze from their peers, and they are struggling to maintain a little profit.

As for the competition and fighting between businessmen, in the eyes of the government, it is like a dog bites a dog, unless there is a major case, they usually don't bother to take care of it.

Once Wang Miaoyan gained power, relying on her understanding of businessmen, she used all kinds of means to quickly annex and expand the business.Ningxing Company has become a cash cow in the hands of the prince.

Princess Chunhe told her what she knew, "It seems that Ningxing Company is eyeing the business of medicinal materials. Start with Dendrobium officinale, and get rid of the unsightly medicinal material merchants first."

Su Liangzhi punched the table with a "bang" and said angrily: "The medicinal materials are used to save lives, how can we monopolize them!"

Liu Qilan was shocked by Princess Chunhe's words, and also forgot her little daughter's mood, exclaimed: "If the dendrobium dendrobium produced here is taken away by Ningxing Company, wouldn't it be possible for them to set the price as they want? So, what if it’s too expensive for ordinary people to afford?”

Fan Bin took a look at her, and he didn't expect that she, a young lady raised in a deep boudoir, would be able to understand this truth.

Sensing his gaze, Liu Qilan's heart skipped a beat, and said softly, "I read it in the book."

Ever since she figured out that a woman's future is not in the Four Books and Five Classics, she has read a lot more books.Miscellaneous records of unofficial histories, medical books and stories, travel notes and poems, as long as they were available in the market, she read them all.This made her know a lot of things that she didn't know before, and she wanted to understand a lot of truths.

Fan Bin nodded and said, "That's right. Besides, Dendrobium candidum is rare because of its small output, and its price is also high. In this way, I'm afraid some people really look down on diseases."

Su Liangzhi hated this kind of behavior extremely, not to mention recklessly disregarding human life, which harmed the drug dealer who came to Cishui Village.As soon as this monopoly method comes out, it will harm many people invisibly.

"No! Such a thing, since I saw it, I can't ignore it." Su Liangzhi said angrily.

Princess Chunhe pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "This matter is really beyond our control. The medicine merchant is dead, and we have no basis for what we say. How should we manage it?"

Liu Qilan hurriedly asked: "Could it be that they are allowed to wreak havoc?"

Those present were all top figures in the Gaomang dynasty, so it was not difficult to see the emperor.Seeing such a thing with your own eyes, would you be helpless?Liu Qilan couldn't believe it.

Fan Bin rubbed his chin and said, "Take care, think of a way to do it."

Standing behind the Ningxing Company is the prince. As long as the prince's power is still there, he cannot act rashly.Now that the situation in the court is changing, it is rash to reveal this matter, but there is no real evidence.Maybe, Guan Jinghuan will take the opportunity to counterattack and make the prince's momentum even higher.

Of the four people present, Su Liangzhi was a doctor, and he was completely obsessed with medical skills, so he didn't understand these tricks at all.Although Liu Qilan has read a lot of books, she has read a lot in the back house, but when it comes to her sensitivity to these things, she is far inferior to Xu Wanzhen.

Only Princess Chunhe and Fan Bin knew how badly this matter was handled.

Su Liangzhi and Liu Qilan ran out of ideas, so they looked at them eagerly, waiting for them to come up with a proper plan.

Half of the candles in the room were burnt out, and while the candles were beating, Chun and the princess said: "I have an idea, why don't you tell me about it?"

Fan Bin's heart darkened, he could probably guess what Chunhe Princess was thinking.He actually just thought of it, but out of his own emotions, he didn't want to say it.
