Chapter 109 Official Salt and Private Salt
This unprecedented method of cooperation was the first time that King Rui had encountered it. He asked Qin Feng to present the detailed cooperation content and wait until he had seen it. King Rui patted Qin Feng on the shoulder pleasantly and said that he could go there if he had anything to do in the future.
Find him at home.
You have to take a carriage to get to the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the Princess's Mansion. If you go to his Prince Rui's Mansion, it's just a matter of walking across the street.
Qin Feng looked at the smiling King Rui and felt happy in his heart - this was also a guest of Hongyu Tower.
According to the information collected by the girls, King Rui did not participate in the battle for the inheritance. As a neutral party, he did not offend anyone. Therefore, after Emperor Yuan came to power, he was not forcibly sent away and allowed to stay in the Sui Dynasty.
city and gave him a generous salary.
To say that Emperor Yuan was also a famous figure, he proclaimed himself Emperor Yuan after he won the throne. What is Yuan? It is the beginning. Just like Qin Shihuang’s Shi character, it means that he is the beginning of everything. The same is true for the character Yuan!
However, Emperor Yuan did not conquer the country from scratch. There were many ancestors in front of him.
It was good for him. After he came to power, he directly appointed Emperor Yuan for himself. What could a group of ministers loyal to the old emperor do? The Imperial Procuratorate alone wrote countless times asking Emperor Yuan to change the reign name. Emperor Yuan didn't take it to heart at all and went his own way.
Qin Feng felt that Prince Rui followed the golden mean and was also a smart man. He did not take sides back then and lived to the end.
Prince Rui is living a happy life now. I heard that there are hundreds of luminous pearls in Prince Rui's house, which he collected by himself.
"Uncle Emperor, if you don't mind if your nephew-in-law disturbs you, your nephew-in-law will come directly to the house next time to disturb you." Qin Feng looked at the exciting eyes of the three imperial merchants, smiled slightly and said: "I will ask the three seniors to give me more advice in the future."
How could those three dare to give advice to the Prince Consort? Today, this was a show of goodwill by the Crown Prince and supported by Prince Rui. How dare they?
If Qin Feng hadn't refused, he would now have a stake in all three of them!
Speaking of which, they would also like to thank Qin Feng for letting them go.
For a time, the attitude of the three people became very warm. They secretly felt that the prince-consort had an extraordinary vision and was not greedy for the business in their hands. That was a matter of whether the ideas he proposed could come true.
Qin Feng turned around and found a supervisor staring at him, as if thinking deeply. When he met his eyes, the man raised his eyebrows in greeting, and Qin Feng smiled back, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
Prince Rui wants to discuss his proposal with Qin Feng in private. The next meeting will be to discuss other matters. In addition to the unrest at sea, the recent proliferation of illegal salt is also a big problem.
Salt is a necessity in ancient times and today. Although it is not a scarce commodity, because it is a monopoly commodity, officials and salt merchants collude to resell official salt and sell it privately.
Although the three major imperial merchants all run the salt business, there are also salt merchants responsible for distribution. It is difficult to check how many salt merchants eat inside and outside, especially when they overreport the weight and then secretly buy and sell the extra for profit.
Profits are all within one's own jurisdiction.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local coward. They are making trouble in their own territory and can come up with various ways to cover it up. It is difficult for the people above to trace them.
These three families were all troubled by illegal salt. They could not solve the problem with their own abilities, so they had no choice but to ask Prince Rui for help.
Qin Feng received higher education in modern times and knew that the biggest problem with this private salt is that it is cheaper than official salt, just like the reason why Duoduo can quickly occupy the market - low price!
Qin Feng listened to their heated discussion on how to go back and restrain the salt merchants below, and how to control prices.
He patiently did not say anything, do you dare to lower the price of official salt to the same price as private salt?
If there is no business, there will be no harm. If there is no profit, there will be no reselling. Official salt is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it, so why not just turn to low-priced private salt? Anyway, the people who resell it are white wolves with nothing to gain, and the price is still low.
You can earn a lot of money.
This was impossible to achieve in the East Yue Kingdom. Qin Feng tried his best to remain silent. He was now more and more determined in the path he chose - just be imaginary.
When it comes to industry with the imperial court, it means getting involved in a lot of messy things. It is not easy for these three companies to persist for more than a hundred years. At this moment, Qin Feng was in awe of them.
Listening to the voices in his ears, Qin Feng felt like he had returned to the hospital for a moment, where everyone was sitting around discussing the condition and treatment plan. At that time, he was still a respected doctor, and many people lined up to wait for his surgery.
The female nurses looked at him with bright eyes. At that time, he had a high social status, a successful career, and had several girlfriends. If he waited a little longer, he would reach the top of his life...
"Nephew-in-law?" Prince Rui's voice brought Qin Feng back to reality.
Looking at the scene around him, Qin Feng sighed quietly in his heart and thought of six words - as soon as it comes, make peace with it.
While he was distracted, the meeting had ended. Judging from the expressions of the three people, they all looked happy and worried. Some problems could be solved, but some problems could not be solved at all today. They may not see the day when they are still alive!
Just now, all the principals have also determined the latest needs and areas that need improvement with the three major imperial merchants. The noisy voice just now disappeared, and Qin Feng got up with everyone to see off the principals and the general manager.
Seeing that he was a little distracted, Prince Rui patted his shoulder and said, "My nephew-in-law has a good idea, but everything is difficult at the beginning. There has to be a process before an idea becomes a reality. Your uncle is waiting for you at the mansion."
Qin Feng said immediately: "My nephew-in-law will go to see the emperor's uncle immediately."
Prince Rui laughed loudly and left with the principals. Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Shen Hai with meaningful eyes. He smiled slightly. Shen Hai smiled and cupped his hands and left with his attendants.
After seeing off the three imperial merchants, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that the soap samples he brought were gone!
It's all because he was distracted and didn't pay attention to who took the soap. Feng Bao had already remembered it for him: "Prince Rui took one, the three emperor merchants each took one, and the six principals also took one."
Gone."
There are eleven samples in total, one for on-site demonstration and ten for distribution, all are used!
Qin Feng felt a little relieved and waved his arm: "Let's go back."
After leaving the west gate and getting on the carriage, Qin Feng thought for a moment and asked Jing Wuming that he could only bring two people into the palace today. Jing Wuming offered not to go and asked Long Qi and Feng Bao to accompany them. Feng Bao smiled and said
: "Probably at the princess's residence, maybe making trouble with Bai Qian."
They all could see that Jing Wuming loved to pester Bai Qian when he had nothing to do. Bai Qian was very skilled and she could stay quiet in front of Xiao Lingyao. But once she faced Jing Wuming, she was like a little pepper with a hot temper.
The two of them started fighting as soon as they disagreed. Jing Wuming still pretended to fight, but Bai Qian was serious about it. Every move he made was cruel, and the beating made Jing Wuming's face turn pale. Although the beating was love and the scolding was love, Bai Qian
He was ruthless and didn't show any affection at all.
