It was night, in Prince Chun's mansion, there was a separate cabin in the corner of the front yard.
There were some unknown wild flowers planted in front of the house, and the flower garden was next to the window. On the small couch by the window inside the house, there was a pot of tea, and the moonlight reflected the candlelight. The two of them were sitting opposite each other and drinking.
One is His Royal Highness King Chun, and opposite him sits a Confucian scholar with white hair and beard.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun is recounting the content of his chat with Yang Xuan today.
"Sir, what do you think of this person?"
Although this Confucian scholar has white hair and beard, he has no matching wrinkles on his face, and he probably looks like he is in his forties.
"According to what His Highness said, this person must be a great talent. If he passes the imperial examination and enters the court, he will definitely be a great help to His Highness in the future."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun smiled and waved his hand: "I have asked him about this a long time ago. He said that he has no intention of fame, but only wants to make money and become a rich man."
The Confucian scholar pondered for a while and said: "The way of doing business is also the foundation of a strong country. If this person can earn a huge amount of wealth, it will be a great help to His Highness. However, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that this person will become a small fortune."
Ann."
"Sir, you are overly worried. He once said that in the future, he will not only expand his business throughout Dasheng Dynasty, but also overseas."
"Hiss..." The Confucian scholar frowned slightly: "How can a commoner from the countryside know what is going on overseas?"
"He has studied for two years, but he didn't even pass the Tongsheng examination. Maybe he read about it in some miscellaneous books."
"Your Highness has developed a love for talents?"
"I was thinking about taking this person under my control before, but after getting to know him better, I realized that this person must not be willing to be subordinate to others."
"Oh? Your Highness has such a high opinion of this person? It seems that there must be something special about him."
"This man is a genius in business, but he is limited by capital. If he waits for him to grow up, time will not wait for us."
The white-haired Confucian scholar thought for a moment and said: "I have a plan. Your Highness is now serving in the Ministry of Household Affairs. You can cooperate with him in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs and hand over one or two of the industries under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs to this person to manage. If he manages it well,
, it is beneficial to His Highness both publicly and privately."
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. This person has no intention of fame and he must be disdainful of it."
It has to be said that His Royal Highness Chun Wang knows Yang Xuan very well. If Yang Xuan is really allowed to run the court's industry, he is not willing to do it. Then why not work for others? Besides, the court's industry is not
Maybe he has the final say in everything, and when the time comes there will be all kinds of constraints, but his hands and feet will be tied up.
"Then we have no choice but to take a different approach." The white-haired Confucian scholar sighed slightly and said, "Just make some changes. Your Highness will hand over the property in the mansion to this person to manage, and you can get a large amount of income, and you can make this person work with you.
Your Highnesses are riding in the same boat."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun's eyes lit up: "This is feasible, but he doesn't know my identity. The most he can guess is that I am a relative of the emperor."
"This matter is not difficult. Just choose a loyal servant in the mansion to take over."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun nodded and changed the topic: "The Northern Wolf Clan has been ready to make moves in recent years, and has already visited the border three times this year."
The white-haired scholar stroked his beard with his hand and frowned: "The wolf tribe in the north has been recuperating and recuperating for the past hundred years. It seems that the world will not be peaceful again."
"The emperor's uncle has always managed the army well. With him guarding Youzhou, safety will be safe."
"The Great Sheng Dynasty has been at peace for more than two hundred years. Except for border officers and soldiers, there are no more usable soldiers."
After saying this, both of them fell silent.
Not to mention other places, even the Yingtian Mansion camp is now full of old soldiers, carrying cages to tease birds all day long, eating and waiting to die, not to mention other state capitals, the Forbidden Army is elite, but after all, the number is limited
.
If Youzhou is defeated and the wolves from the north move south, the Imperial Army alone won't even be enough to defend the city.
In other words, once Youzhou is defeated, half of the country may fall into the enemy's hands.
"Didn't the fourth prince ask for orders to be stationed in Ji (ji) state?" The white-haired Confucian scholar said: "The fourth prince has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and even the Duke of Ji has praised him for his marching formation."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun smiled bitterly: "Do you think Shanhaiguan is a place where he can go if he wants to?"
The original Prince Yan was just like the current Fourth Prince. He went to Youzhou under an excuse and then never came back. Youzhou was nominally the territory of the Dasheng Dynasty, but in fact it was Prince Yan who had the final say.
Now that the emperor is old, it is a sensitive period for the succession of the throne. If the fourth prince goes to Jizhou, he will be the next Prince Yan.
Duke Ji Guo was a veteran of three dynasties and the grandfather of the fourth prince. With this relationship, the fourth prince could easily control the situation in Jizhou.
Although neither the emperor nor the prince wants the fourth prince to go to Jizhou, if the war situation in the north worsens, they may not be able to let him go.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun shook his head and showed a wry smile: "It is not my turn to comment on this matter now. I'd better concentrate on studying the way of doing business. After all, the war is about national strength and economy. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the food and salary are in place.
, the soldiers will naturally serve their lives."
He is determined to serve the country, but he does not have the qualifications to stand out. Those who are qualified want to fight for power and gain, but they can do nothing.
…
Weijixian Noodle House, including the early adopter restaurant and franchise stores, already has four branches. Yang Xuan now has money in his pocket, and all he wants to do is continue to expand, and the way to expand is to open branches.
According to his investigation and analysis, there is no problem with one branch within a radius of ten miles, so Yingtianfu can still open at least two branches.
As for the south of the city, people there can't afford a bowl of noodles for twenty cents.
The general area of the two branches is that one is in the southeast area of Yingtianfu, and the other is the main store on Zhuque Street, the area between the franchise stores.
He was too lazy to look for it himself. Although Guan Yunrong was gone, there was still Lu Fengxian. He was most likely a relative of the emperor, and his energy was not much stronger than that of Guan Yunrong. He could be relied upon to do this.
What's more, his cheese experiment is almost successful, so he won't have to worry about trying out the new products in the store.
However, he found that the recent goat's milk was much more expensive. He asked the seller and said that there was a snowstorm in the northern grasslands this year. It was only October and it was already covered with ice and snow. The sheep were either freezing to death or starving to death. Naturally, the merchants had to stock up on goods.
price goes up.
In fact, Yang Xuan didn't know much about this world. After all, the original owner of this body was just a sixteen-year-old boy. Although he had studied for two years, he was only literate at most and didn't know much about other things.
few.
Although he knew that there were grasslands in the north, he didn't know what the situation was like in the north. However, with his poor historical knowledge, he also knew that if there was a snow disaster in the north, there would definitely be a military disaster.
After all, the grassland peoples could not survive, so their only option was to go south.
It is better to die in battle than to die of hunger and cold, and if you are lucky, you might even make a fortune.
On this day, Yang Xuan finally met Lu Fengxian at the main store on Zhuque Street. This guy had not shown up for several days.
"You're such a free and easy hand-off shopkeeper, are you really turning your back on me?"
Yang Xuan complained as soon as they met.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun quickly raised his hands and said, "I have been busy with official duties these days and I really can't leave. I'm really sorry."
"Is there going to be a war in the north?"
Yang Xuan just told his analysis, but he didn't expect Lu Fengxian's reaction to be so big. He jumped over, covered his mouth, and then asked seriously: "How did you know that?"
