Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1535 Doing business is not so easy

Just like what the prince said just now, looking at Datang, who would dare to compete with Fang Junyi in the way of breeding?
The Fang family in Qizhou was originally a noble family in Shandong, even in the local area, they are not outstanding, let alone compared with those Guanlong families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.Although Fang Xuanling made outstanding achievements and was promoted by His Majesty to be the first assistant in the world, Fang Xuanling is indeed not good at economics, far less than Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others.

However, Fang Jun was born, and in just a few years, he has earned the wealth accumulated by those aristocratic families for hundreds of years. Who can not be amazed?

What is particularly important is that whether it is the firing of glass, the establishment of Fangjiawan Wharf, the sale of the "most livable" Lifang at a sky-high price in the management of the emperor of the mountains and forests by the Qujiang Pool, the monopoly interests of the Shipbuilding Department of Huating Town, or the The astronomical numbers of wealth in the Jiangnan Salt Field, each piece of wealth, has taken a completely different path, even if others want to follow suit, there is nowhere to start...

So, Fang Jun is optimistic about the business, so how can he not make money?
Not only do you want to make money, you must also make a lot of money...

Li Chengqian thought about it carefully, clapped his palms and praised: "Erlang's attainments in economics, it is not an exaggeration to say that the past is outstanding, and it is probably only comparable to Guan Zhong and Tao Zhu in ancient times. Looking at the world, it is unmatched. Right. It's a pity that you are alone as the crown prince, and you must not get involved in business affairs, otherwise you must cooperate with Erlang for a while, and pass the addiction of making money today."

Qi Wang Li You was silent at the side, thoughtful.

After a while, Li You suddenly covered his stomach and shouted, "Oh, it's not good, it's probably because I ate something unclean in the morning, and my stomach hurts so much..."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Is there a serious problem?"

Li Youdao: "It's okay, but it's really painful. Brother Prince, you can take a walk with Erlang slowly. Brother, go back to the mansion first and let the doctor treat you."

Li Chengqian said: "What mansion do you want to go back to? Hurry up and let the imperial doctor take a look at the palace. Don't delay. Reports of malaria outbreaks are coming from several places in Guanzhong. Don't be careless."

The level of medical care is extremely low these days, and there is no good cure for malaria and other maladies. Even the imperial physicians in the palace can only alleviate it a little, and there is nothing they can do if the condition is serious.In particular, this disease is highly contagious, and if it cannot be eradicated quickly, it will soon spread in an unstoppable manner.

Reports of malaria have been reported frequently in several places in Guanzhong these days, and the court is already very nervous.

Li You seemed to be taken aback, and quickly said: "Thank you, Brother Prince, I will go to the palace to be diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor."

After saying that, he turned around and hurried away with a few guards from Prince Qi's residence.

Li Chengqian looked worried, and complained: "This old five is really worried, how can such a big matter be ignored so lightly? What if I contract malaria, what should I do!"

Fang Jun saw that Li You didn't look like he was sick, that guy's eyeballs were rolling around, he must be thinking of something...

"Your Highness, don't worry, King Qi is not a child, how can he not know the severity?"

Li Chengqian thought about it too. Although malaria patients were found in several places in Guanzhong, they were all in the peripheral mountainous areas. Otherwise, Chang'an would have been under martial law long ago. How could merchants and civilians be allowed to come in and out at will?

He seldom came out to relax, and because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he was a little out of breath after walking around for a while.

Fang Jun shook his head at the side, admonishing him: "Your Highness is the prince of the country, you should pay attention to your health, not only to adjust your diet, but also to exercise more."

Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, and didn't take this trouble, but looked at the cargo ships shuttling on the river, and said with great interest: "Sometimes I really envy these merchants, they can travel all over the country to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and appreciate the customs and customs of various places. , How happy is it to travel around the world?"

Fang Jun laughed and said: "Could it be that Your Highness only sees them being free and at ease, but never sees them being exploited by tax collectors and oppressed by tyrants wherever they go?"

Li Chengqian also laughed: "Erlang thought that Gu was the Emperor Hui of Jin who 'why not eat minced meat' and didn't know the sufferings of the world? It was just a momentary realization. Could it be that you let Gu take the identity of the prince to exchange with these merchants? Hehe, again The reporter said, even if it is exchanged, with Erlang and your method of gathering special products from all over the world, you can definitely earn tens of thousands of wealth, eat, drink and have fun, isn't it good?"

"Where is it so easy?"

Fang Jun shook his head, pointed to a warehouse next to him, and said, "Weichen's business model can be called a 'supermarket', and the core idea is novelty and convenience. You have a lot of knowledge, but how much do you know about special products from all over the world? For example, the cocoons in this warehouse..."

As he said that, he led Li Chengqian into the open door of the warehouse and saw the wooden boxes inside. The steward of the warehouse naturally knew his boss, and hurriedly pushed away the account book in front of him, and apologized, "Why is Erlang so busy today?" Come to the pier?"

Fang Jun smiled and nodded, without saying anything, he turned to Li Chengqian and asked, "Your Highness, can you recognize this thing?"

The steward was still nodding and bowing with an apologetic smile on his face. Hearing that Fang Jun addressed this luxuriously dressed young man as "Your Highness", and seeing the young man limping forward to look at the cocoons in the wooden box, he was startled. Jump, is this the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
He hurriedly stood on one side with his hands tied, not daring to intervene.

My Erlang is famous outside, but everyone who knows him knows that he is approachable. Even a coolie on the dock can stop him from chatting casually. Begging for a few words, Fang Jun will often send someone to investigate, and if there is something true, he will definitely lend a helping hand.

That's why Fang Jun's reputation is so good among the wharf folks that everyone is not afraid of him, but respects him.

But who knows what the character of His Royal Highness is?If I say something wrong and cause Erlang to be angered by the prince, then I will die to pay for my sin!

Who doesn't know that Fang Erlang will be the minister of the humerus and right-hand man of His Royal Highness in the future, and he must not be tricked by Erlang...

How could Li Chengqian have the heart to pay attention to the thoughts of a small person?
He stepped forward and poked his head, and saw the cocoon and pupae densely packed in the wooden box, which made people feel terrified. He was startled and asked in surprise, "What is this? I have never seen it before."

Fang Jun chuckled, but did not mock His Highness the crown prince's ignorance and ignorance, and said: "Actually, this thing is very common. There are many in the south of the Yangtze River or in the middle of Sichuan. After silkworms spin cocoons, they will become this thing. Make a cocoon. Your Highness, please take a closer look, the color of this cocoon is light yellow, and the cocoon is soft..."

As he spoke, he poked it with his hand, and the cocoon squirmed a few times, "This is a fresh cocoon, and in about ten days, it will turn into a moth and fly..."

Li Chengqian stared at the wriggling cocoons, and felt something crawling around in his heart. He was very uncomfortable, and nodded, "I've heard of this thing before, first it is a silkworm, then it is a chrysalis, and then it turns into a moth. It's amazing...but Why are there so many chrysalis stored here? Did they buy them from the herbal medicine store? Then you don’t need so many of them!”

He has never seen this thing, but he has heard of it. After all, there are not a few silkworms in the world, and there is nothing unusual about cocoons.Moreover, this thing can be used as medicine, which can produce body fluid and quench thirst, relieve food and regulate qi, and can also treat infantile malnutrition, but even if it is used as medicine, it is only one or two halves in one prescription. How many cocoons are there in this warehouse right now?
There must be thousands of catties!

Is this going to be made into a medicine, so that everyone in Chang'an can take a bite?
As a result, as soon as he thought of it, Fang Jun said: "You can't use so much for medicine, this is for use."

Li Chengqian's eyes widened: "Eat?!"

Then he looked back at the wriggling cocoon, and thought about the feeling of eating this worm into his stomach... In an instant, he felt as if something was wriggling in his stomach, and he was so disgusted that he almost vomited it out.

Fang Jun looked at Li Chengqian's pale face, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't you think it's incredible? In fact, this cocoon can not only be used as medicine, but also can be eaten. The taste is extremely delicious. Some people eat this product, but few people know about it. Most people look disgusted and rumor that this product is poisonous, and they throw it away after spinning. It is really a waste... Your Highness, just imagine, there are such delicious things as cocoon pupae in the world People in Guanzhong have never seen it before. If you move it into the supermarket, who would dare to buy it? But if you don’t sell it, there are countless specialties from various places like it that people in Guanzhong have never seen. Don’t you want to sell it? In this way, your What is the difference between a supermarket and an ordinary grocery store? There are countless grocery stores in the city, why do people come to your supermarket to buy things?"

Li Chengqian thought about it carefully, it really is...

He has a little insight into the way of goods breeding, and knows that if he wants to attract the people, he must expand the scale and increase the variety of goods, and by expanding the scale of operation, the cost can be effectively reduced. When the cost is reduced, the price will naturally be lower, which will attract the people to come. Buy, it's a virtuous cycle.

However, if you bring special products such as cocoons and chrysalis from all over the world... who would dare to buy them?

Not to mention eating it, it's just this cocoon, it's disgusting to look at...

Who knows that Fang Jun hasn't finished speaking yet: "Your Highness, do you think there is only such a problem? In fact, there are more troublesome things that cannot be solved. This kind of supermarket will have to pay the owner to death. Even if you are the prince of a country, You can still be compensated and you go bankrupt..."
