"Kowtow to your majesty, long live my emperor."

Qian Dafu's fat body was kneeling with difficulty, and the overall look was quite funny, with a sense of nondescript.

He has a tall and fat body type. It is obviously quite difficult to do this action, and his face turns red.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable, but felt particularly comfortable and excited.

The day has finally come!

Qian Dafu couldn't help but think back to the past. In the earliest days, he and Guan Ning were enemies, and business wars were also life-and-death.

He wanted to become an imperial merchant, and through Xue Huairen, he got in touch with his Majesty, Emperor Longjing.

He put in a lot of effort, but ultimately failed and became an abandoned son. In desperation, he turned to Guan Ning.

At that time he was investing.

This is also the idea of ​​​​doing business. Along the way, I finally succeeded and my dream became a reality.

The good-for-nothing prince who was looked down upon by no one at the beginning has become the emperor...

"Get up."

Guan Ning looked at Qian Dafu who was kneeling and struggling and couldn't help but said: "Why are you fatter than before?"

It's true, I feel like I've gained weight.

"Give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qian Dafu stood up and sat down, and couldn't help but look at Guan Ning.

His face didn't change much, except that he became more majestic.

yes!

He is already the emperor.

He is the world-famous Emperor Yuanwu.

Qian Dafu couldn't help but sit up straight, and moved his buttocks out a little, looking like he was sitting upright.

When your identity changes, your attitude must also change.

Qian Dafu is very good at figuring out his position.

"Don't be so formal, be more casual."

Guan Ning smiled and said: "I have finally brought you back. What did you do in the south?"

"Going to get food."

Qian Dafu said: "At that time, the entire Guan family business evacuated to Beijing. I was a restless person, so I thought about going to the south to develop and prepare food for your army. But I didn't dare to name myself directly, so I could only hide in the dark.

conduct……"

"I'm determined."

Guan Ning never issued such an order. It was completely Qian Dafu's own decision. During the march, he did receive food delivered, which also relieved the pressure. This was also the reason why he reused Qian Dafu.

"The various business gangs in the south are deeply rooted, and it is difficult for outsiders to open up the situation. However, the Yuehua Cream series of our Guan's Company is very popular. The economy there is prosperous and they can afford it..."

Qian Dafu said: "Use the resources at hand to gain some fame, and at the same time prepare food. This time I brought back 500,000 shi of food. The cargo ship is at Tongxian Wharf."

"Five hundred thousand shi of food?"

Guan Ning showed surprise.

"good!"

"good!"

He said hello twice, saying that it was difficult to stabilize the price of grain in Beijing. Even if Dakang Grain Farm was opened, it would only fall but not completely solve it.

The ultimate reason is that production has not resumed and there is no food on the market.

Qian Dafu brought back this batch of grain, and the nearly 500,000 dan of grain obtained from the investigation of wealthy merchants can greatly alleviate the situation.

If this were to be placed on the battlefield, Qian Dafu would be a lucky general!

Being praised so much by Guan Ning, Qian Dafu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Originally, this batch of food was prepared for the army, but now it is useless, so it was shipped back, which delayed some time."

"It's useful, it's of great use!"

Guan Ning said: "The price of food in Beijing has soared, and the imperial court cannot provide food to stabilize it. It is very embarrassed."

"I heard these things from Lord Gong Liangyu who came to pick me up."

"Do you still remember what I promised you?"

Hear this.

Qian Dafu's heart was pounding. Guan Ning had personally promised him that one day he would become an imperial merchant.

"Now I am going to increase your burden and make you a national businessman!"

Guan Ning said: "Guoshang, that is, commerce directly under the national court, you will still be a businessman in the future, but the nature is different. You will no longer earn wealth for yourself, but contribute to the country and shoulder important responsibilities!"

Qian Dafu stood up.

Guan Ning continued: "Dakang Liangzhuang is just the first step. It will gradually develop and expand its business scope. Important resources such as salt and iron, and even cloth, wine, etc., will be developed one after another..."

"We are not doing this to compete with the people. On the contrary, we are using this method to coordinate the national economy, maintain national stability and commercial development. When necessary, we are not doing it to make profits, but to take national development as the premise

Pay compensation..."

Qian Dafu listened carefully and realized what a grand move this was.

He is a businessman and can better understand what His Majesty means.

"I entrust Dakang Grain Farm to you. I hope you can make achievements and contribute to the development of the country. Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, I will do my best and never let you down."

Qian Dafu got his wish and became an imperial merchant.

All the world is a royal land, and Guan Ning is the emperor.

State merchants are imperial merchants, and imperial merchants are also state merchants. In fact, there is no difference.

It mainly depends on where it is used and what role it plays.

What he has always been pursuing is to have more room for display. Now that he has it, he also deeply feels his own sense of responsibility.

He is still a businessman, but on this basis there seems to be something more...

"Sit down."

Guan Ning motioned Qian Dafu to sit down. He didn't need to say too much. He believed Qian Dafu could understand what he meant.

At this time Cheng Jing handed over a brochure.

Guan Ning took it and handed it to Qian Dafu.

"This is the 450,000 shi of grain and 300,000 taels of reserve that I gave you."

Guan Ning said: "Dakang Liangzhuang is a state-owned grain farm, and it is managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Its level is equivalent to that of a department under the Ministry of Husbandry. You are the chief manager of Dakang Liangzhuang, so your grade is the fifth grade."

"Genuine fifth grade?"

Qian Dafu said in surprise: "Am I an official?"

"Dakang Liangzhuang does not belong to the administrative department, so the meaning is different, but you are indeed an official."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qian Dafu was inexplicably surprised.

Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, Shang was the last one, but now he can also eat royal food and directly become a fifth-rank official.

Guan Ning also took this into consideration before appointing Qian Dafu.

"The initial preparations for Dakang Grain Farm have been completed, but subsequent improvements need to be made. This is up to you. The first thing you should do is to stabilize grain prices as soon as possible. If grain prices in Beijing are stable, then grain prices in surrounding areas will be stable."

"yes!"

Qian Dafu sat up straight.

"Okay, I believe you can do a good job."

The business is over.

Guan Ning also relaxed. He wanted to ask Qian Dafu about something.

"You have been in the south for a while. What do you think there is? Is there plenty of food?"

“Plenty!”

Qian Dafu said: "The prosperity of the south is not comparable to that of the north. It's not that your Majesty's court has no money, it's just that the money can't enter the national treasury. The business gangs there collude with the local gentry. As long as the taxes from the south can be raised, the national treasury will be filled immediately.
Chapter completed!
