The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.
Chapter 156 Middlemen
Emperor Kangwu looked at Prince Rui, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and remained silent.
"Father..." Prince Rui choked up, "Xin Fu, that's Chen An's filial piety!"
Emperor Kangwu let out a heavy sigh: "I won't take the money the temples earn from you."
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Prince Rui immediately composed himself.
All the redness in her eyes, the trembling of her lips, the sorrow and heartache—all vanished.
Emperor Kangwu closed his eyes briefly, then picked up the memorial and threw it at him: "Couldn't you have pretended a little longer?"
Prince Rui tilted his head away, dodging the attack: "Your subject knows that Your Majesty is considerate and cares for us."
"Alright, alright, get out of here." Emperor Kangwu didn't want to see Prince Rui's face right now.
It's so infuriating.
Chen'an is capable, so he must protect her even more.
With Chen An in power, the country is secure.
How stupid must he be to doubt the ability to deal with a master whose limits he doesn't even know?
Moreover, Chen An is wholeheartedly devoted to his eldest son's family.
Even if Chen An did something, let alone not do anything... could he possibly harm Chen An?
Rather than destroying your own foundation, choose to believe.
He understood these things quite well.
After bowing, Prince Rui left.
Anyway, the official business has been discussed.
However, he did not expect that the King of Wu would pull such a stunt today.
That fourth brother... I really don't know what he's thinking?
If the fourth brother hadn't targeted him, today would have had a pretty good ending.
When Prince Rui returned home, he found that Qi Zhiyu was not there. After asking around, he learned that she had gone to a temple outside the city with his second son.
Inside the temple, Qi Jingxi was ecstatic: "Sis, did you see that?"
"Silver, so much silver!"
He clapped the ledger in his hand excitedly: "Those people are buying talismans like crazy."
Sales are absolutely fantastic!
He had thought he could make money, but he never imagined... he could make this much.
They really struck it rich!
"The rich cherish their own lives the most." Qi Zhiyu had already expected this and was not surprised.
"They have noble status and large sums of money... so naturally they would hope to live peacefully and for a long time to enjoy it."
Qi Jingxi nodded in agreement: "No wonder you told us to sell the Tranquility Talisman and Sleep Aid Talisman first."
"The peace charm won't work for a while, but those two are different," Qi Zhiyu said with a light laugh.
"As long as it is proven that the talismans in the temple are effective, even if they do not see the effect of the peace charms in the short term, they will still choose to believe and buy them."
With such a good reputation, no one would doubt that the products are fake.
"Second brother, hurry up and have someone make more, because there will only be more people coming to the temple to buy talismans in the future," Qi Zhiyu said.
"I've already had them take care of this," Qi Jingxi told her sister, sharing her thoughts.
"However, I think we should still limit the sales quantity. Otherwise, if there are too many orders, people can buy without limit, which will drive down the price!"
"Second Brother, we can send someone to sell it in other places," Qi Zhiyu said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"Huh?" Qi Jingxi was stunned. "Sell it in another city?"
"People come every day seeking amulets, but it all depends on luck," Qi Zhiyu said. "We don't sell them amulets only after they've drawn lots and we see if they can get one."
"Some people got what they asked for, but they'd rather use it to improve their lives. Wouldn't it be better for them to sell it to others?"
Qi Jingxi was shocked: "Sis, you mean...?"
"That's right. We buy peace charms from people who need money and then resell them to other places, or to outsiders who come here." Qi Zhiyu nodded.
"You can't just come and ask for it. And even if you did get it, who would complain about having too many peace charms?"
"In this way, the people get the silver, which can solve their living difficulties, and we can also make a profit from the price difference. Isn't that better?"
Qi Jingxi looked at her sister in disbelief: "You even profit from the price difference in your own buying and selling?"
"Is there a rule that says it's not allowed?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled.
Qi Jingxi: "It's not that it's impossible, it's that nobody does it this way."
Who would act as both a source and a middleman?
Generally speaking, aren't the goods sold directly from the source to the buyer, who then sells them to the next buyer to make a profit from the price difference?
This is the correct business model—working down layer by layer.
"Second Brother, this product is special," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "We can't just let the people at the temple steal it and sell the amulets themselves, can we?"
"The solemnity of the temple was shattered instantly, and the amulet, which was once a highly sought-after item, suddenly became so valuable that people doubted its effectiveness."
"So, we're the only ones who can act as the middleman."
"Moreover, if you send people to buy them now at a reasonable price, people will naturally come to sell."
At this point, Qi Zhiyu added, "By the way, in a few days, find other people to make the acquisitions as well."
Qi Jingxi was greatly shocked, and even more unable to understand: "Competing against myself?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet," Qi Zhiyu said helplessly.
"Go on, go on..." Qi Jingxi quickly gestured for him to speak.
"Later, the people who went to buy it gave them silver, and after receiving the amulet, they snatched the silver back." Qi Zhiyu finished speaking and looked at Qi Jingxi with a smile.
Qi Jingxi was completely stunned, staring blankly at her younger sister as if struck by lightning.
"It's best to do the transaction at a temple. Anyway, it's a secluded place where no one will see you," Qi Zhiyu said, ignoring him.
"Don't actually harm the people. When they leave, make sure someone notices their condition and asks them something with concern."
"People will definitely be upset if they lose their amulets."
"He won't say he wanted to sell it; he'll just say someone robbed him."
"Then the people at the temple will just give him another one."
"This way, the people won't suffer any losses."
"Oh, right, what if someone pretends to be robbed but actually wants to hoard goods and profit from the transaction? I have a way to deal with that too."
Qi Jingxi asked hesitantly, "How do we solve this? A body search?"
"That definitely won't work," Qi Zhiyu shook her head.
"Those who want to take advantage of others may not necessarily hide it on their person. They might hide it somewhere by the roadside, or give it to someone else, or sell their own amulet first."
Qi Zhiyu said with a smile, "When the time comes, if anyone tries to take advantage, just approach the temple and a talisman on the table will spontaneously combust!"
Qi Jingxi was utterly shocked: "Sis, you even have a talisman that can verify this?"
"No," Qi Zhiyu said with particular honesty, "but I have a talisman that can spontaneously combust without fire."
"Then... how do you know which one is going to take advantage?" Qi Jingxi was confused.
