The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 968
Zhuang Zhuang said calmly, "What the queen mother wants the sons to do, even if it is the order, the son will not complain."

Xiao Mingyu laughed, "Don't be so serious, the queen mother will not let you go down the mountain of swords and fire. Here are two ledgers, one for each of you. The strong one is two shops, one silk shop and one restaurant One of Doudou's is a pastry shop and the other is a tea house. Now I will hand over the account books to you, and you will take care of these shops in the future. Of course, you can hire people, but I hope you will be here You can do it yourself and make up your own mind on this matter. You are given one year, and if the situation is good and you can maintain profits after one year, then the mother will transfer these properties to your name. The income from the shop will also belong to you. You own everything, and you can dispose of it as you like. On the contrary, if you don’t do it well within a year, then the queen mother can only judge that you are not qualified for this job, and the shopkeeper must take it back. Do you understand?”

"My son understands." The two boys were very excited. Being able to have a large amount of money at their disposal was something the two boys were looking forward to.Regardless of the fact that both of them are princes, there is plenty of pocket money.In addition to the 200 taels a month in Gongzhong, Xiao Mingyu also subsidizes each of them with 100 taels a month.There are 300 taels in total, which looks like a lot, but for the prince, this amount of money is not enough at all.Sometimes I want to add a meal, I want to use something, or ask my friends to do something, and even reward my servants, the money that comes back three times or twice is gone.Often in the middle of the month, the two almost became bare commanders.For the next half month, I can only continue to live a hard life.Xiao Mingyu was very aware of this situation, but he never thought about increasing his pocket money.I just told the two of them to keep accounts, and spend money in a planned way, instead of spending it recklessly.In this way, the economic situation of the two of them has improved slightly, and they can support it until the end of the month.

Even so, both of them are moonlight clansmen, wishing to have a large sum of money in their hands.Now that the opportunity has come, how can the two be unhappy.

Xiao Mingyu reminded the two of them, don't be too happy too soon.You know, running a shop is no easy task.Of course, the two of them can be handed over to someone who can handle it, but this does not mean that the shop can maintain the original level of profitability.You know, the books of the four shops that Xiao Mingyu handed over to them are extremely clean, which means that there is no corruption.If the two want to maintain the original level of profitability, whether they do it themselves or hire someone to manage it, it will be a test of their ability.One tests the level of management, and the other tests the ability to know people.All in all, this year, Xiao Mingyu and Zhou Gan had a good show to watch.As for Zhuangzhuang and Doudou, they are destined to work hard in the next year.

The two assured Xiao Mingyu that they would definitely satisfy Xiao Mingyu and not disappoint Xiao Mingyu.

Xiao Mingyu patted the heads of the two children, "Don't talk big, it will be more convincing when you say it after you have finished your grades. Go, read the account book first, the staff are old employees, communicate well, believe You will gain."

"Son obeys."

The two children resigned and left, and Zhou Gan came out from the room.He frowned slightly, as if he was still worried.

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about. The children are fine. In the next year, the two children will definitely gain something."

"Although you have explained why you want to let the children get involved in business, the reasons are very good, but I am still a little dissatisfied. They are princes, how can they manage business."

"Agriculture is the foundation, but without the aid of commerce, agriculture is also dead. If commodities cannot be circulated, will ordinary people have a good life? Does the emperor think that ordinary people only need to eat enough? What about clothing? What about building houses? What about reading? What about the delivery of goods? Which one can do without business? Even farming, still cannot do without the help of business. Business has advantages and disadvantages, as long as it is used properly, it can benefit the people, both the court and the common people. In fact, the fundamental reason for exposing children to business is to hope that they can understand the people's livelihood and the world through this matter. Otherwise, they will never be able to truly understand what it is to rely on books and the husband's explanations, and only rely on the eunuchs and maids' flattery. people's livelihood."

Zhou Qian frowned, "When they grow up, I can send them errands, just like I did back then. I believe that in this way, the two of them will have a clear understanding of people's livelihood."

Xiao Mingyu shook his head, "Not every child has the same opportunity as the emperor did back then. During the three years of war in Zhongzhou, the emperor presided over the logistics for three years in Zhongzhou. These three years have been of great help to the emperor's future. But the emperor also wants to Admittedly, such opportunities are rare. Can the emperor guarantee that both children will have such opportunities to practice in the future?"

Zhou Gan can't guarantee it, because he is not the only one who has the final say on the war.Even if there is a real war, it is still unknown whether the children can take on the heavy responsibility of army logistics like he did back then.For example, the age limit, this is a big problem.The court can send seventeen, eighty-nine-year-old princes to practice in the army, but they can't send a ten-year-old child there.That's just nonsense.Therefore, Zhou Gan couldn't give an accurate answer to Xiao Mingyu's rhetorical question.

Xiao Mingyu added, "Everything needs to be done step by step. Now it is just two small shops. If managed properly, it will add more burdens to the two children in the future. One day, the two of them will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility given by the emperor. The emperor knows Yes, I have always been against letting the children send out heavy errands to the children before they have experienced the experience. It’s fine if you do it well, but if you don’t do it well, it’s a blow to the children’s self-confidence. And it’s a success at the first time , It is also easy for children to breed arrogance.”

Zhou Gan waved his hand, "Okay, I have already compromised on this matter, just do as you said. But I still want to remind, next time, it is not good to send commercial tasks to the children. After all, the prince If you are a prince, you should behave like a prince and do what they should do."

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, "The emperor's lesson is, then I promise not to send them business matters next time."

That's about the same.Zhou Gan laughed.

Niu Niu refused. Why did the two older brothers have their own businesses and take care of them by themselves, but she didn't.Is it because she is a girl?Niu Niu expressed her dissatisfaction, and pestered Xiao Mingyu to give her a shop. She also needed pocket money, a lot of pocket money.

Xiao Mingyu asked her what she wanted so much pocket money for, and Niuniu said it was used to buy rouge and gouache, and by the way, to honor her father, queen and queen.

Xiao Mingyu laughed loudly, and kissed Niu Niu on the cheek, "My Niu Niu knows how to love beauty at such a young age, and she also knows how to honor her parents by the way. Not bad, not bad. But you are too young, and you are a girl, so it is inconvenient for you to go out of the palace. In this way Well, the queen mother will take a shop and put it directly under your name, and you can take care of it yourself, if it doesn't work, you can ask professionals."
