I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 293 The businessman's sense of smell

Li Tian also knew that Wang Fu didn't want to see anything happen to the Royal Bank at all, and it was actually within his expectation to ask this question.

He smiled faintly, and didn't intend to explain anything to him, but said with a smile,

"I would like to ask you, what did Huitong Bank do that violated the law and discipline? Has the bank been reported to the yamen for their opening of the bank?"

Wang Fu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said,

"There is no violation of law and discipline, and they have all been reported to the Yamen."

"That's it. Since they haven't violated the law or violated discipline, why should I suppress them? If I let them know, wouldn't they laugh at me for not being able to tolerate others?"

Li Tian's words were almost irrefutable, but after all, the money bank was already considered the confinement of the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and one-third of their business was taken away by one reform.

How can they bear it.

Wang Fu wanted to say something more, but Li Tian interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, let's stop here first, I have given Guo Liuhu and the others enough authority and space.

If they can't even handle this trivial matter, I have to wonder if they chose the wrong person. "

These words were very serious, Wang Fu's face immediately changed, and he quickly shut up.

Opening the next brochure, it was actually sent by Zhang Yongri.

According to the brochure, many businessmen from other places have already smelled the benefits of soap and soap, and some people are hoarding them at all costs, planning to transport them to the south to make a fortune.

Because of a large number of hoarding goods, this led to a serious shortage of supply in various stores in the capital.

After discussing with Huang Fei, Zhang Yongri decided to ask Li Tian to open another workshop to expand production.

Originally, it was enough to report this matter to the queen, but the queen was not sure about it, so she put it on hold for the time being, and planned to ask Li Tian afterwards before making a decision.

But I didn't expect that Li Tian's retreat would last for three days.

The workers in the workshop for the past three days had been working overtime to catch up, and they still couldn't meet the demand, so they were so anxious that they surpassed the queen and wanted to ask Li Tian directly.

Li Tian thought over and over again, and decided to talk about it later.

Soap is a new thing no matter what, if it is for those speculative businessmen.

It can open up markets in various places in the south, which shows that this thing is really favored by the people of Ming Dynasty.

At that time, no matter whether it was expanding the scale of the workshop or building a factory in the south, there would be no risk.

Since someone is willing to open up the market for him and test the market response in various places in the south, Li Tian is naturally so happy.

Picking up a pen and paper, brushed a few sentences and wrote the annotations, handed them over to Wang Fu and said to him,

"I've already written the details on how to do it, and you just need to tell them that it doesn't matter whether it's working overtime or increasing the number of people.

But the overtime pay that should be paid must not be less than a penny. The most important thing is that there must be no problem with the quality. If there is any problem with the product due to the increase in production, I will take their heads off. "

Wang Fu was not in charge of the matter of the workshop, and his relationship was not too great. Regarding Li Tian's reaction at this time, he did not have any emotional changes.

After taking the booklet, he said calmly,

"The old slave knows, and I will definitely explain it to Uncle Guo and the others verbatim."

The soap and match workshop is one of Li Tian's experiments. It was a good thing to expand the business.

But Li Tian also knew that the workshops at this time, no matter whether they were skilled workers or mastered the market, were still at a very immature stage.

If the scale is expanded rashly regardless of it, it is likely to cause various problems.

If something goes wrong with these two workshops, the consequences will be very serious, and it will even have a great impact on Li Tian's subsequent layout.

So at this stage, it is better to play steadily.

The things in the workshop are still easy to handle, but the latter things are not so easy to handle.

What follows is not a booklet, but a letter.

The person who wrote the letter was the third wife of the Chai family. In the past half a month or so, she has been busy with the new workshop.

Fortunately, after working for half a month, she finally decided on the address of the new workshop.

But here's another problem.

The place she is optimistic about happens to be a certain part of Huangzhuang.

If it was a fiefdom of an ordinary prince, with her superb diplomatic skills and the influence of the Chai family, even if she spent a little more money, she could still get it done.

But since that place is the private property of the royal family, it is not so good.

Let me ask the whole world, who would dare to throw a handful of silver bills in front of the emperor and tell him, Hey, how about you sell that piece of land to me, the money is negotiable.

If you meet someone with a good temper, just beat her out with a stick. If you meet someone who is unreasonable and unforgiving, it is possible for her to despise the imperial power and ruin her family.

After she learned that the land belonged to the royal family, she also wanted to let it go and find another place.

But it's about to enter winter, and if this matter cannot be settled, it may have to be delayed until April or May next year to thaw.

Neither Li Tian nor she could delay for such a long time.

So she threw this problem to Li Tian, ​​intending to let Li Tian come forward to see if there is a solution.

After Li Tian read the letter, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he laughed.

This letter seems to be full of complaining and talking about the benefits of that place.

But in Li Tian's view, it's true that the place is good, and it's true that she can't help it, but the hidden purpose is to test Li Tian's true identity.

"Hahaha, this third lady is really a flawed person. If you want to know my identity, you can just ask. My identity is not a secret, so there is nothing you can't say.

But she was so cautious in probing, and the method was reasonable, and her thoughts were really meticulous. "

This letter was received directly by Wang Fu from outside, not through a memorial, so he also knew the contents of the letter.

Seeing Li Tian smiled, Wang Fu hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty intends to give her the land in Huangzhuang."

"It's just a Huangzhuang, so it's nothing special to give it to her."

"Then the old slave is going to inform the third lady?"

Li Tian thought about it and finally decided to go and see for himself.

"Forget it, I will take some time to talk to her myself!"

Wang Fu didn't understand, and asked suspiciously,
"Your Majesty, Huangzhuang is outside the capital city. Although it is less than ten miles away from the capital city, there are no pro-army stationed around it. If something happens..."

Seeing his cautious look, Li Tian also knew that he was worried about his own safety.

Tapping the table lightly with his hands, he said with a thoughtful face,
"I know you are worried about safety, but I plan to take a look in person, not on impulse."
