Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1542 Hard work and my emperor's sage

  Emperor Hongzhi was a very smart man.

  Hearing this, he suddenly understood something.

   This Shiquan Dabulu, to put it bluntly, isn’t it made from cod liver oil?

   Although there are effects, the cost is ridiculously low.

   It’s not surprising that such a thing is sold at this price, after all...compared to many more expensive supplements, it’s not bad, not to mention the efficacy of Shiquan Datoulu seems to be stronger.

   But the problem is that after selling this price, you can still sell so much.

  He suddenly realized.

I see.

  Shiquan Dabulu can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on just a rumor.

  It is the result of the joint efforts of thousands of businessmen.

  These businessmen can benefit from the Shiquanda Supplement, so they will naturally use all their resources to promote and publicize the Shiquanda Supplement.

  Thousands of people, the power they unleash is terrifying. What's more, these merchants who have mastered wealth and channels.

I saw Zhu Houzhao said again: "In addition, in the accounts that Cai Erchen looked at just now, the expenses of the father are very small. The father is the owner of the workshop. He is in charge of such a workshop. He should be rich and powerful, but what? But it’s so frugal. Father really thinks that merchants like famous horses, luxury cars, and silk clothes? It’s like my son, wearing gold and silver, and wearing the latest sunglasses, just because my son likes this? Father Emperor, I was wrong. There are so many merchants who want to send a large amount of real gold and silver to the workshop, and some of the silver is even their wealth and life. If they see that their father is so frugal, what will they think? They will definitely I wonder if there is something wrong with this workshop, and once this idea comes up, who would dare to place a large order, or even take out a large amount of silver and put it in the workshop as a deposit? Glorious and decent. My son knows that even if some scholars have silver, they look unpretentious on the outside, such as a piece of jade pendant, whose name is priceless, but on the outside, it is not much different from ordinary jade pendants. Only experts can see the clues.”

"But Father... Not everyone in this world is a knowledgeable expert. If something like a jade pendant meets an ignorant person, it will look cheap in their eyes. The best way is to wear gold Silver, so that people can know their wealth."

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, and was really surprised. It turns out...these things are so particular.

  The reason why I failed was because of crazy production, which caused price disorder, which was very likely to destroy the pricing system of the entire channel dealer; the abolition of Zhou Wenying made the relationship between the workshop and the channel dealer unable to maintain.

   Coupled with his frugality like death, it has increased the doubts of the channel dealers.

  These things are slowly accumulating, and the merchants have the most sensitive sense of smell, and they suddenly feel that something is wrong, so...

  Understanding this, Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath with some surprise.

  He never thought that behind this, there is such knowledge.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly and said: "I understand, I didn't expect there are so many mysteries in it. Fortunately, I am not a merchant, and I don't need these means of shopping malls to govern the world."

  Emperor Hongzhi actually knew the importance of merchants deep down in his heart, but in his bones, he was still influenced by Confucianism after all, and he still had a bit of contempt for merchants.

  Of course the most important thing is that he is more like defending himself, trying to save himself a little face.

  After all... I am the Son of Heaven, a majestic Son of Heaven, so naturally I don't need to learn the methods of businessmen. These methods are not elegant after all.

   Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows trembled when he heard this.

   It's just a dead duck with a hard mouth.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao finally held back, he said with a chuckle: "This statement is bad again, father, in my son's opinion, being able to learn the art of business is of great benefit to the governing of the world .”

   "Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, "The art of doing business is comparable to the art of the king."

Zhu Houzhao said conveniently: "The art of the emperor is actually nothing more than exhausting all the organs. He tries his best to make his courtiers loyal. How to control his own courtiers, but in the eyes of my sons, why is this art of business not the same? What? It is the art of imperial power. It is not about heaven and earth, and I am the only one. The benefits of this world are all your own. It is to let everyone benefit from you, and the more people who benefit from you , the position of the emperor will be more stable."

  Emperor Hongzhi heard such a theory for the first time, and his face sank.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "Being the son of heaven is like managing this workshop. Why do those channel businessmen shy away from the father, but flock to the sons and ministers? It is simply because the father's various measures have not won their hearts. There is no profit for the father. But the son-in-law is different. The son-in-law can ensure their interests and allow them to get rewards. Isn't this... a kindness? Because of this, they know better than anyone else that their interests, He is one with the son, so he is naturally loyal to the son, even if the son has a bad temper, but the son wants to drive Zhou Wenying and those distributors away, but they will not leave."

"If I become the emperor in the future and treat my subjects the same way I treat Zhou Wenying and distributors today, I will still worry that some people will harbor resentment, or even...will someone want to rebel? No, not only will they not If you rebel, you will be grateful instead, and it will be too late to recite the kindness of your ministers all day long."

"The more favors you get from the emperor, the more stable the country will be. Isn't this the most important reason for an emperor? If the emperor can't benefit his subjects, on the contrary, he can't give his subjects any favors, and even make them They have been deeply affected by it, so...even if they have the art of emperors and know the art of power control, so what? In the end...it is just the difference between early death and late death. One exception, father, isn't this way of business also the way of an emperor?"

   After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking so many words in one breath, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

  This principle is too simple. Although it is still the same thing that water can carry a boat, it can also capsize it, but... interpreting it from the perspective of a businessman, it seems... more refreshing.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully again: "Look, when the emperor promulgates decrees, some decrees may be repeated repeatedly, but the bottom is still obedient and yin, and even obstructed, which is useless. Once the decree is promulgated, it will follow the law and be implemented immediately." The world, why is this? It’s nothing more than... It’s just that the relationship of interests is secretly obstructing. Because of this decree, those who have received favors will try their best to promote this policy. The more people receive favors, the government orders will naturally The smoother it is. Conversely, no matter how powerful the emperor is, if the decree issued goes against the interests of the majority of people, it will be even more difficult to implement it. Even if it is implemented, it will eventually be out of shape. "

   "If I can manage this workshop, I can't say that I will be able to rule the world, but at least it will be of great benefit to the rule of the world, but it is a certainty."

  Emperor Hongzhi straightened his face when he heard this, and his heart skipped a beat.

  He has been in politics for decades, so he naturally knows that what Zhu Houzhao said is true.

  Although this truth is very straightforward from Zhu Houzhao's mouth, there are not many people who can do it.

  The prince manages the workshop here, isn't it just based on this principle?

   Now it seems that what he has done has indeed brought prosperity to a workshop.

  If this principle is used to govern the world, it may not be a bad thing after all.

  Starting from the perspective of profit and looking at things, it will be easier to approach the truth.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt a deep sense of relief. Isn’t it a blessing that a small workshop can make the prince understand so much?

  Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously looked at Fang Jifan.

  At this time, he thought of what Fang Jifan meant when he said that he wanted the prince to manage the workshop and sharpen the prince.

   Facts have proved that Fang Jifan is right.

  Fang Jifan was not only right, but also arranged with great pains.

  He used to think that Jifan might just want to monopolize the huge profit with the prince, and he did this on purpose, but now it seems... Jifan is breaking his heart for the prince.

  In order for the prince to grow up quickly and make him a qualified heir, Ji Fan has put in a lot of effort in secret.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was bleak when he thought of this, but now, his face gradually returned to blood.

  He said excitedly: "That's right, that's right, that's exactly the case, Fang Qing's family is right, what Fang Qing's family said is very true..."

  Zhu Houzhao: "..."

  Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded.

  What's the situation? If he remembers correctly, it should be that he has been talking about this business principle with his father.

  How did you turn your head away... The emperor somehow said that Lao Fang was right, and that what Lao Fang said was true?

  Is the father crazy? Is there a sentence in their topic mixed with Lao Fang?

Emperor Hongzhi's face was red, and he ignored Zhu Houzhao's strange expression, but he stepped forward and patted Fang Jifan's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Fang Qing's family has worked hard, haha... I have this son-in-law, which is enough to comfort me all my life .”

Fang Jifan showed a subtle smile, and said: "Your Majesty, you must not say that. I have no achievements in size. How can I deserve such praise from Your Majesty? In fact, what do you know? It's not just that you are in front of Your Majesty on a daily basis. Have you just opened up some tricks? My son thought about it, even if he thought about it, he never thought about it, what kind of pride is there, if you really want to talk about it, it is nothing more than my emperor's sage, my emperor's long live."

  Zhu Houzhao: "..."

  What about the palace...
