Chapter 31 Business Thinking
Seeing that Li Shimin held a positive attitude towards Sun Xiangfu's views, Empress Changsun said, "In this way, I will grant you permission to operate two shops. However, these two shops are royal properties, and the current accounts must be sent to the harem. I allow you to [-]% of the profits are used for the salaries and salaries of subordinates, which is good."

'How are you? 'Originally it was Guoguo in my pocket, but you can take [-]% of it with just one word, okay?Sun Xiangfu can only blame himself for being ungrateful, and exaggerated the benefits, which attracted the heart of Empress Zhangsun, but no matter who, after being robbed and getting benefits, he felt unhappy, but Sun Xiangfu still didn't dare to show it on his face , can only bow and say, "I obey."

After saying this, just as Sun Xiangfu was about to leave again, Li Shimin said again, "Tell me how the other yamen of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office can make a profit. If you speak well, I will reward you."

Finally, when it came to rewards, Sun Xiangfu was just a common man, so he thought in his heart, organized his words, and then bowed his hands to Li Shimin, "Then I will tell your Majesty, first of all, the Department of Agriculture, the leader of the four departments! Controlling dozens of Huangzhuang, big and small, and no less than [-] mu of land, once it is effectively planned, there will be a lot of room for profit.

A few days ago, I bought Baidiezi in Dongshi for [-] yuan a catty, which is three times more expensive than an equal-weight copper coin. At this price, those Hu merchants often sell out of stock. , the value of its output can be dozens of times higher than that of planting millet and wheat, so why doesn't the Department of Agriculture plant it?

Perhaps they think that baidiezi is a product of Gaochang and the Western Regions, but it is something that grows in the land. Why can Gaochang grow it, but I can't grow it in Tang Dynasty?Weichen believes that as long as the Department of Agriculture needs to explore and learn, it will definitely improve the level of planting and benefit the royal family.

There is also the Forestry Department, they can't just sit and wait for the order to go out in the inner palace. There are so many merchants dealing in timber in Chang'an City, how come there is no one from the Forestry Department!They have the largest forest resources in Guanzhong, and they can organize manpower to cut down and plant trees. In addition, some landscape trees and flower trees can be sold for money. There are also fruit trees, which only need to be planted once, and they can harvest fruits every year in the future. The profit from the sale should be far greater than that of the Fisheries Department.

Then there is the Department of Animal Husbandry, they can't just be satisfied with supplying the palace.Large-scale, clustered breeding will allow more output, and can also open up business routes and do sales business. Where there is a lack of a kind of livestock, the price of this kind of livestock will inevitably increase. The Animal Husbandry Department has a huge resource reserve. All are trading opportunities.

In addition, they can also recruit artisans to further process some self-produced furs. How much profit can be made into leather boots and leather clothes, so I don't need to go into details! "

Sun Xiangfu talked eloquently, and the more he said, the eyes of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuyou became brighter. Any entrepreneur in the future would understand these business ideas, and they would not waste any resources at hand. People don't understand, most of them just muddle along and plan food in the ground, watching the sky for food.

"Well said, I never imagined that there would be so many possibilities for hair growth in a mere animal husbandry supervision office. I will discuss it with several ministers in the court to see if it is feasible."

Sun Xiangfu's words made Li Shimin suddenly enlightened, and he was in a good mood, but the emperor did not make any decisions lightly and hastily. Just being labeled as fighting for the interests of the people by the ministers is enough for the emperor to drink a pot, yes So, let's talk about Sun Xiangfu, Li Shimin really wants someone to do it, and he doesn't know when it happened.

Of course, Sun Xiangfu does not have such a big heart to help Li Shimin do all these things. Except when he is more happy when studying crops, he is relatively lazy at other times. Now, he just looks at Li Shimin eagerly, Waiting for the reward he just said.

However, the so-called reward almost made his jaw drop to the floor.

"In two days' time, it will be the Chongyang Ninth Ninth Festival. I want to climb Zhongnan Mountain with my ministers and look far away. I will give you a ride with me."

Is this a reward?

Don't bring such a joker!Are you sure you didn't want me to be your cook?

Sun Xiangfu shouted and roared in his heart, but bowed with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will leave."

After Sun Xiangfu left the Lizheng Palace, all he could do was curl his lips, but inside the Lizheng Palace, the conversation between Li Shimin and his wife continued.

"This kid is indeed quite talented. Given time, he will be more than enough to be a priest."

Empress Changsun turned her beautiful eyes and said, "I'm afraid it's a gluttonous heart, so His Majesty dare not use it too much!"

"It's still Guanyin's servant who understands me. Although this kid is talented, he has many ideas of his own. He is only interested in profit, unlike Shubao Jingde and other humerus ministers who can give me their lives."

"Then His Majesty did this to win that kid's heart?"

"That's natural. People's preferences are nothing more than those kinds, power, wealth, and beauty. Since this kid is willing to be my retainer, it proves that he has no desire for power and is good at making money. He will never be short of money." People, only this beauty is something that every young man can't refuse. He has reached the age of sixteen and is not yet married. I will find him a daughter-in-law so that I can discipline him and let him know what it means to treat a king like a father .”

From Li Shimin's point of view, the first basic element is loyalty. However, in Sun Xiangfu, a later generation, this quality is difficult to show. He will not look at the emperor with worship or god-like eyes, because he does not have any kindness in his bones. Not feudal superstition.

The starting point for him to be an official is just to make his life in this world safer. Farmers like Sun Dali may not be able to see the sense of superiority in IQ that is shown from time to time, but people like Li Shimin He has read countless people, but those who are good at sophistication and stratagem can see it clearly. Therefore, Li Shimin rated him as "talented", but he needs to be refined. In his bones, there is no sense of loyalty that regards the king as his father. Before being bred, I will use you, but I will not use you much.

After being robbed and fooled, Sun Xiangfu was not in a good mood, so he decided to find some delicious food to mend his injured heart. It happened that the fish that was salvaged today came from the warehouse, and there were many palm-sized crabs, so he asked his servants to pretend to be A basket was sent to Duke Yi's mansion. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Sun Xiangfu led his horse and walked out of the imperial city.

East City is only one street away from the Imperial City. Empress Changsun's question reminded Sun Xiangfu of the issue of the pavement. Now that half a month has passed, it should be renovated!Just dropped in to have a look.

The ancients also understood the principle of clustering together when doing business. Therefore, the aquatic products shop under the fishery department is also surrounded by aquatic products. It is almost dusk at this time, and most of the fish products on the shop are sold out. Everyone is carrying water and cleaning. Shops and places where fish are sold have a strong stench, especially the ancients did not know how to install aeration devices, except for eels, loaches, black fish and other fish with strong vitality. Most of the scale fish are dead fish. Think about it, how many catties weigh How long can a large live fish live in a bamboo basket or with its gills threaded on branches?Definitely not more than an hour.

The shop of the Fisheries Department is not difficult to find. After Sun Xiangfu went straight in, he found that Xiong Tingzhong was there.

"My lord is here. I heard the report from the craftsman that the shop has been completely renovated, so I came to check it."

"Well, I just came out of the palace, how about taking a look along the way? All the objects have been built according to my previous requirements!"

Speaking of objects, in fact, most of the aquatic product shops are wooden water tanks. In the past, more than a dozen craftsmen would only need a day or two to finish all of them. However, the things designed by Sun Xiangfu are somewhat delicate, which makes the craftsmen uncertain.

In fact, it is not a high-tech product. It is to install a device in each water tank that uses water pressure to automatically circulate the water and increase oxygen.

This thing was made by the masters who saw those experts in the volcano video when Sun Xiangfu was bored in later generations. The materials generally needed are two mineral water bottles and a pipe. Through exquisite links, the water pressure can continuously transfer the water Press it out from the pipe, and then flow into the mineral water bottle at the bottom. There is no mineral water bottle now, so it can only be replaced by a bamboo tube. The pipe is made of reeds soaked in hot water until softened, then pierced with iron bars and fixed into the desired shape. The result of drying is not very durable, and it will be replaced in a few days. It is just to build some of these aeration devices, and the craftsmen have spent so long.

"It's all built. Your lord's idea is really ingenious. After testing, the water tank with this running water pipe can guarantee that the fish in the wooden box will not die within a day. If there are not many fish in it, it can last longer." Xiong Tingzhong replied.

"Well, one day is enough to sell the fish. In the past few days, let's sell the fish that are not easy to hoard and raise in the shop! Remember to do accounts every day. The income from these two shops , [-]% goes to the queen."

"Seventy percent to the queen?" Xiong Tingzhong was a little stunned, but after a while, his expression returned to normal. Once the palace asks for it, these petty officials can't resist it at all, and it's useless to talk more.

"Before opening the business, ask the servants to learn the ability to calculate accounts. This is the royal family's business, and you must do things honestly, so as not to lose the dignity of the royal family. In addition, for big customers, you can take orders and do some door-to-door services. , Our water tank truck can ensure the freshness of the fish, which is much better than their domestic servants using baskets to pack them."

When it comes to doing business, Sun Xiangfu only needs to use a little bit of social experience from later generations to be able to move a few blocks away from this era. At present, the people who can afford fish in Chang'an are not all those big families. One characteristic of big families is, Qianggaoyuanshen has a large population, so once you buy something, you will not buy a little bit, and if you have better ones, you will not choose inferior goods.

Don't underestimate a door-to-door service, it can easily allow these two shops to occupy more than half of the sales market in Chang'an City. Aquaculture operators learn to maximize the sales in the shop before being imitated by them, and if they stabilize, it is victory.

　Thanks to Paradise 198843 for the reward, there is one more person on our fan list, I am in a good mood!Everyone, don't forget to order recommendations and favorites, this is also love for me, thank you for a lifetime.
