010 Bianliang Baiye
When Qiao Feng heard Zhao Ji's words, he subconsciously shook his head. When he saw that Zhao Ji's expression was not as fake, he lowered his head and thought seriously. After a long time, he sighed and said, "We have no other strengths in our Beggars' Sect, but there are many vulgar men, and we really can't be used for official appearance. Mr. Zhao, you are a noble family member of the Tian family, and you have a lot of good talents to do. If you get entangled with the Beggars' Sect, one will damage your reputation, and the other will not be able to help you."
Zhao Ji shook his head and waved his hand, "What kind of reputation is not clear? I am a idle and unscrupulous prince, and I only have the duty of extravagance in my life. If I can help the Beggars' Sect for this, it will be a great thing that is great! Brother Qiao, please wait for a while. I will go to a few people familiar with the market management in the mansion to ask, and let's discuss it carefully."
While speaking, Zhao Ji ignored Qiao Feng's reaction and stepped out of the room. His steps were quick and agile, and he was very happy. He was very satisfied with his thoughts with a flash of inspiration. If he just had a good relationship with Qiao Feng, as long as he had a similar interest, he could be attracted by Qiao Feng. But if it expanded to the entire Beggars' Sect, he would need to show real real information. The so-called conquering people with virtue is just a simple talk. They must realize that following them will bring continuous benefits to the fullest.
Halfway through, Zhao Ji met Liang Shicheng who returned, and told him to find some people who were familiar with the business of all industries and various ways to make money in Bianliang City. Liang Shicheng did not feel too strange when he learned that Zhao Ji was going to do some business with the Beggars' Gang. The industry and commerce in Bianliang City were prosperous, and many noble families had business transactions in private, otherwise how could they withstand the enjoyment of spending money like water? Even if Prince Zhao Ji was the emperor, who wanted to do one or two side jobs, it would not be a strange thing.
After receiving the order, Liang Shicheng immediately went to find someone. As Zhao Ji's personal eunuch, he was not unfamiliar with these things, and even had some dry shares given by several stores in his name. Now that he wanted to find someone, he was naturally very familiar with them.
About an hour later, Liang Shicheng brought a group of more than a dozen people back to the villa. Among the people, there were men and women, elderly people, strong men, and even monks and Taoists. When they saw this formation, Zhao Ji was stunned. Before he could speak, Liang Shicheng had already stepped forward and said, "Prince, these are the leaders in all walks of life in Bianliang City. What do you want to ask, just ask."
Zhao Ji originally wanted to ask for a brief inquiries, but Liang Shicheng made such a big fight, but this was good. He just took this opportunity to learn more about the various livelihoods of Bianliang City in this era. He said to everyone: "I'll let you guys go there, Xiao Wang thank you here first. Please introduce it yourself first."
Everyone bowed and said that they did not dare to thank him, and then introduced themselves in turn. Although they were respectful, they were not restrained. There was no such thing as kneeling and worship in this era. Common people can respond without being humble or arrogant when facing high-ranking officials and nobles. It is not a very rebellious attitude.
After listening to their respective identities and their business, Zhao Ji realized that these people really included different industries in various classes and industries in Bianliang City. The old man was an official from the old list and had no great future in his career. He offered a free job and received a salary. He ran a well-known calligraphy and painting shop. The Taoist priest was Taoist Yu who sold medicine in the Taoist temple outside Liangmen. As for the monk, he was even more amazing. He was a deacon monk in the outer courtyard of Daxiangguo Temple, who was in charge of the monthly ten thousand surnames trading conference at Xiangguo Temple.
After knowing the origin of these people, Zhao Ji asked: "A friend of mine wants to run some business in Bianliang City. But he has no idea what to do. I wonder if you can teach me?"
Hearing this, everyone was silent and looked puzzled. Seeing their reaction, Zhao Ji was a little surprised. He just asked some questions simply, as for such a dilemma?
After the atmosphere was silent for a while, one of the managers of Fanlou came forward and said, "What kind of livelihood do the prince's friends do? Our Fanlou naturally needs to help us, so we offer 10% of the kids in the building, and hope that the prince will accept it with a smile."
Zhao Ji was quite surprised when he heard this. He just wanted to ask some questions. Why did this man think of giving him a gift? While he was suspicious, Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng took a step forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, 10% of the stocks are no longer small. Although Fanlou is known as the number one in the 72 restaurants in Tokyo, there are many people who look at them. King Wu, King Cao, King Xinxing Prince and Duke of Lu have only 10% of the stocks. It is said that he also earns nearly 200,000 yuan a year."
Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but breathe a breath. Only 10% of his dry shares could get 200,000 yuan a year. So how big can Fanlou make in a year? As for the powerful families mentioned by Liang Shicheng, Zhao Ji thought about it carefully before remembering that the King of Wu and King Cao were both his uncles, and when Emperor Shenzong passed away, he was expected to inherit the throne. The King of Xinxing County was the family of the late Empress Dowager Gao, and the Duke of Lu was the descendant of Cao Bin, the founding general. With this number, almost all the top noble families in Bianliang City were involved in Fanlou. No wonder this Fanlou could stand in Bianliang City.
After amazement, Zhao Ji remembered that he was not trying to force his stakes with others today, so he said, "Don't misunderstand everyone. Xiao Wang invited you here today to sincerely ask some knowledge of farmers. As for your business, I will not pay any money!"
Hearing this, everyone was half-believing and half-doubted, turning their heads to look at Liang Shicheng, wanting to get some tips from him. When Liang Shicheng heard Zhao Ji's statement, he lowered his head and thought for a while before he understood what Zhao Ji meant, and then said to everyone: "Our prince is kind and righteous and will not force your livelihood income. But how you operate your own industry, you must talk to the prince in detail."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After each seated, they all spoke about their business practices. Although they each had different business operations, to put it bluntly, they actually mean that they had no one, they had better, and they were more valuable, and they were more valuable. They added some unique experiences and tricks to create some eye-catching gimmicks. They were not worried that speaking out their business skills would establish a strong competitor for themselves. After all, Zhao Ji's identity was there. If he was really determined to lower his posture and wanted to compete with them for food, or if he said or not, it would be no different.
Zhao Ji heard it very carefully from beginning to end and had a new understanding of the prosperity of Bianliang City's business, but it was difficult for them to take the business story of these people for the Beggars' Gang to use. Seeing that everyone had no new words, Zhao Ji waved his hand and asked Liang Shicheng to send them away, and then walked towards Qiao Feng's room.
At the same time, in Qiao Feng's room, the lord leader and two Beggars' Gang disciples returned after dinner. They learned from Qiao Feng that Zhao Ji was willing to work with the Beggars' Gang and were all happy. The lord leader said happily: "Gang Master, this is a good opportunity! In the past, our Beggars' Gang also planned to open one or two halls in Tokyo, but because there were too many ties in this, they would provoke the powerful and noble families if they were not careful, so they could not fulfill their wishes. It is rare that Prince Duan is willing to help. If he can really open up a way of wealth in Bianliang City, it would be too helpful to our Beggars' Gang!"
Qiao Feng sighed, "But our Beggars' Sect is born in the world. If you get too entangled with Mr. Zhao too deeply, it will inevitably damage his reputation. Moreover, although most of the brothers in the gang are brave, they are very sparse when it comes to craftsmanship. In other prefectures, these disciples in the gang can help people guard their houses and escort their wealth. However, there are 800,000 imperial guards around Bianliang City. Which one is willing to ask our Beggars' Sect to do things? If you just ignore the hall, do you really want all the disciples to go out to beg for food and make a living?"
After hearing Qiao Feng's words, Fang Zhuangzhu pondered for a moment before saying: "Gangzhu, if our Beggars' Sect wants to enter Bianliang City, it does need to rely on such a tough way as Prince Duan. But if we really manage some business, Prince Duan can benefit from it. Even if Prince Duan himself looks down on these small profits, if these business lives from generation to generation, his descendants can benefit from it. To be honest, the luck of the world will be flowing and the dynasty will change in an instant. If our Beggars' Sect can maintain these business for a long time, they may still help Prince Duan's descendants in a hundred decades..."
"As for what industry we can operate in Bianliang City, although we have no eyes at the moment, Bianliang City has a great world, with a healthy body on its head. As long as we can enter the city, can we still starve to death? Our Beggars' Sect stare and look carefully, and sooner or later we will find a good way to make a living!"
Qiao Feng also knew that if he drove the hall to Bianliang City, it would be of great significance to the Beggars' Sect. He took a big step back, even if he was just begging along the street, the harvest of Bianliang City would be much higher than the other land. However, in his opinion, it was not very consistent with the morality of the Jianghu.
When Qiao Feng was pondering at the dilemma, Zhao Ji walked into the room with a smile. Halfway through, he thought about things clearly. He wanted to do business with the Beggars' Sect, but he just wanted to deepen their connections. He didn't have to make money every day. Even if he really couldn't find a good way to make money for the Beggars' Sect, he could only supplement them. Zhao Ji had inquired about various investments from the royal palace with his fief, fief, title and several empty salary, plus the industries awarded by the royal family over the years, and his annual income was as high as more than 300,000 yuan. Although it was not as good as Fanlou, who made money that day, it was also a huge wealth.
With so much money, Zhao Ji could not spend it at all after he quit his bad habit of spending money like soil. Even if he took out half of it every year to supplement the Beggars' Sect, it was worth the money in Zhao Ji's opinion. Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's thinking became more flexible and he soon thought of a business suitable for those of the Beggars' Sect to engage in.
