Seeing Lu Fengxian's nervous look, Yang Xuan was also surprised: "Is there really going to be a war?"
"Silence."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun pulled Yang Xuan into the office, closed the door and lowered his voice and said, "How did you learn about the war in the north?"
"My guess."
Yang Xuan didn't panic at all.
"Guess?"
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was a little dumbfounded: "This is without evidence. You can't just guess out of thin air."
"Of course there are credentials."
"What's the proof?"
"Because the price of goat's milk has soared recently, I learned that it is because of the snow disaster in the northern grasslands. So the people in the northern grasslands cannot survive the snow disaster. The only way to survive is to go south."
After listening to Yang Xuan's analysis, His Highness Prince Chun opened his mouth. He only learned a few days ago that the wolf tribe in the north was knocking on the pass. It was only in the past two days that he found out that it was because of a snowstorm. Then the court decided to increase troops. As a doctor in the household department, he naturally had to be busy.
Regarding matters such as the allocation of grain and fodder, the specific details of sending troops were only determined this morning, but...
But this Yang Xuan, a common man and businessman, analyzed the war in the north just by raising the price of goat's milk. This is... simply a monster.
It seems that when I discussed Yang Xuan's talents with Mr. Lu a few days ago, I still underestimated him.
"Are you so surprised? As a businessman, having a keen sense of smell is a basic quality. Otherwise, how can I realize my ideal of expanding my business overseas?"
"I admire you." His Highness Prince Chun cupped his hands and said, "If you weren't too young, I would have called you sir."
"What's wrong with being young? There is no age for learning, and those who are wise come first." Yang Xuan guessed the war in the north and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"In that case, sir, please accept my bow."
After saying this, His Royal Highness Prince Chun bowed deeply.
This shocked Yang Xuan. This guy, who was suspected to be a relative of the emperor, actually paid him such a great gift. He was not willing to accept it, so he quickly supported him: "You can't do it, you can't do it, I was joking just now."
However, His Royal Highness Prince Chun had a serious look on his face: "I have benefited a lot since I got to know Mr. Sir. This word of Mr. Sir comes from the bottom of my heart."
"It's just a title, whatever you want."
After several refusals, Lu Fengxian still refused to change his words. Yang Xuan was helpless, but he had a vague feeling that he had been tricked.
In fact, his feeling was correct. His Royal Highness Prince Chun said that he called Yang Xuan sir sincerely, but this was also a tactic to win over.
Just like Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu was a famous official in Linchuan, and he was gradually won over by him before he finally agreed to come out and become his staff.
You must know that Linchuan is the hometown of talented people. Since ancient times, there have been many imperial officials and great scholars. To be called a famous official in this place shows their talent.
"Brother Lu came to see me today for something?"
"Exactly."
"Wait a minute, don't ask me about the matters in the court." Yang Xuan said cautiously, after all, the feeling of being tricked just now was not good.
"It's a business matter."
"Please say."
"It's like this. I have some property in my name, but it's not managed well, so I want to let my husband take care of it for me. I wonder what he's going to do with it?"
"You want to hire me to help you with your business?"
"That's what it means."
"No."
"Why? The commission is up to you sir."
"I don't have to work for any amount of money. I can't even handle my own affairs." Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "Isn't it good for me to be my own boss? Why should I work for you... to work?"
As expected, His Highness Prince Chun has been in contact with Yang Xuan for so long, and he immediately understood the meaning of Yang Xuan's words.
"Sir, you can buy shares."
"Oh?" Yang Xuan's eyes lit up: "That's different. What kind of business is it?"
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was secretly proud that as long as he took the right medicine, there was no one he could not control. The same was true for Mr. Lu and the same was true for Yang Xuan.
He himself did not realize that in his mind, Yang Xuan and Mr. Lu, a famous official in Linchuan, had been elevated to the same status.
To be precise, they are not equal. At least Mr. Lu has fallen into the trap, and this Yang Xuan...
The most important property under His Royal Highness King Chun's name is actually land. Apart from that, there is only a chariot and horse business.
But how to invest in land? Is it possible to sell part of the land to him?
After all, the Dasheng Dynasty was still a farming civilization. Selling land could only be done by prodigal sons. He, the third prince of the Dasheng Dynasty, sold his fiefdom?
The censor's saliva can drown him.
"I have a horse and carriage dealership under my name. I wonder if sir would be interested."
"Can carriages and horses go?"
Sure enough, big families are doing big business.
In later generations, the Car and Horse Shop was just a company that produced cars, and that was something he couldn't afford with the little money in his pocket.
But does it cost him or her to invest in a stake?
And the most important thing is that as more and more branches are opened, he is getting more and more tired. After all, running back and forth between several branches, he is exhausted every day and his efficiency is still low.
As for the carriage, that thing was not something he could afford. The starting price for renting a carriage was one tael of silver. A trip to the Qinhuai River cost 2 taels, and a round trip cost 4 taels. This was not affordable.
When it comes to buying a carriage, it is even more expensive. Let’s not talk about how much it costs to buy a carriage. Let’s just say that after buying the carriage, you need to hire a groom to raise the horses. There must be a place to raise the horses. The carriage needs to be repaired if it is worn out.
.
Not to mention him, even ordinary officials can't afford a carriage. Basically, no one except nobles and wealthy businessmen will buy this thing.
Generally, rich people only need the entire sedan chair. After all, the price of raising a horse is enough to support four sedan bearers.
Moreover, ordinary people can only get a soft sedan chair for two people. Only those with status can sit in the sedan chair. It is considered excessive for ordinary people to use a sedan chair with four carriages. It is usually only used for weddings and government officials.
Only then would he open one eye and close one, pretending he didn't see it.
In fact, the efficiency of a two-person soft sedan is also low. After all, it cannot run very fast.
Soon, Yang Xuan had an idea in his mind.
"I do have some ideas, why don't I go take a look first."
When I looked at it, I saw the northwest side of the city, and I was almost out of the city.
There is a mountain next to it, called Qingliang Mountain, and this carriage and horse racing line is at the foot of the mountain.
This carriage and horse shop occupies a large area, with a carpenter's workshop and a pasture for raising horses.
It was indeed a big company, Yang Xuan secretly praised it.
"Brother Lu, what's going on now?" Yang Xuan looked at the huge place, with only a few scattered people working.
His Royal Highness Prince Chun smiled bitterly: "Didn't I tell you that the management was not good? The carriage was made but no one bought it."
No one buys it?
Yang Xuanxin said that this Yingtian Mansion was the capital of the prosperous Dynasty. It could be said that almost 80% of the rich people had properties here. How could anyone buy it?
"I wonder how many styles of carriages are there, Brother Lu?"
"How many types?" Prince Chun was stunned: "Basically, there is only one type. Common people can only ride a one-horse carriage. The others are all customized."
"Just one kind?" Yang Xuan stretched out a finger in disbelief: "Then it's no wonder it's not managed well."
"Sir, do you have any ideas?"
"Of course there is."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please teach me."
"No hurry, no hurry, let's talk about buying shares first."
