"When you say that, I really have some ideas." Mu Qianyu was an easy-to-get person, and he was very persuasive.
Thinking that building a country in the future would inevitably require a large amount of capital, it would not be enough to just rely on deception and abduction. There was still business to be done.
Xiang Ziyou said with joy on his face: "Ziyou has a suggestion, sir, would you like to listen to it?"
"It's okay to listen, but if you dare to tell me, don't kneel down every now and then. How awkward it is." Mu Qianyu still has the habits of modern people in his heart.
"Yes." Xiang Ziyou stood up, with a rare look of vitality on his face, and said, "As your lord said, we will be a trading company, but you will make the decision, and Ziyou will be your shopkeeper."
Mu Qianyu also had the same idea, but added: "Don't just be a shopkeeper, you should also be a shareholder. I will share 10% of your net income."
She has already thought of a way to run the business. This chamber of commerce will definitely become bigger and stronger in the future, and the net profit of 10% is guaranteed to be greater than the 100% he would earn by himself.
"Of course that's good, thank you sir." Xiang Ziyou's face became even more happy.
"Then it's settled. You go and remove the seal first, renovate it inside and out, and build momentum. We will open in seven days." Mu Qianyu said.
"Yes, Ziyou resigned." Xiang Ziyou also left in a hurry.
Mu Qianyu sat in the study for a while and said to Qi Ling who was sleeping in the sea of consciousness: "Little Lingling, do you think I am a good material for alchemy?"
"The master has a strong foundation that defies heaven, and his understanding is astonishing. He is the best in everything he does." The voice of the weapon spirit came into her mind.
Mu Qianyu was encouraged and said: "Then I want to learn alchemy with you, and there will be many ways to survive in the future."
"Huh? Master said before that he didn't want to learn."
"I never thought I could live for such a long time before. Now that I have found a way, I can't just know everything." Mu Qianyu expressed the result of his previous thoughts.
The weapon spirit laughed and said: "Master has been really diligent recently. He practiced and learned formations before, and now he has to learn alchemy. Can he be busy?"
"I promised my daughter that we will make progress together, and there will be nothing to do. I am idle, right?" Mu Qianyu leaned on the chair, still very satisfied with himself now.
"Master has really changed since he had Xiaobao." Qi Ling said happily, and then asked: "Then when will Master learn?"
"Don't worry, I'll learn it slowly while watching the actual operation." Mu Qianyu said with an embarrassed smile.
The weapon spirit seemed to notice something and asked: "Master, do you want me to make elixirs?"
"Either I say you're smart, that's what I mean. It's just that the amount may be a bit large this time, but I think it's still easy for you." Mu Qianyu held him in his arms and said.
The weapon spirit gave an extremely tolerant smile and asked, "It's easy. Master, what kind of elixir do you want?"
"A must-have medicine for explorers, which heals injuries, detoxifies, restores spiritual power and can increase combat effectiveness in a short period of time." Mu Qianyu had already thought about the audience and decided to launch a few main elixirs first.
This is the competitiveness of her chamber of commerce. With the strength of the weapon spirit, the quality of this elixir is far inferior to others.
"What grade does the master intend to refine?" Weapon Spirit asked.
"I'm going to do some market research on this, and I'll tell you tomorrow." Mu Qianyu said.
Although she had learned some about it from the yamen before, she still didn't understand it well enough. She planned to visit Tong County again and purchase a batch of raw medicinal materials.
"Master, if you have something to do, just call me." Qi Ling said in a good-natured voice and went to sleep again.
After communicating with Mu Qianyu, he went to find Xiang Ziyou the next day, gave him a Transformation Pill, and the two of them headed towards Tong County.
"Sir, no, Brother Zhang Xian, the easiest thing to sell is the third-level elixir. The second-level elixir is not effective enough, and the fourth-level elixir is too expensive." Xiang Ziyou said on the way out.
Mu Qianyu nodded and said, "What kind of product is it?"
"The price of the middle-grade elixirs you mentioned in Tongxian County is around five hundred spirit stones." Xiang Ziyou replied again.
"You are very eloquent." Mu Qianyu was quite satisfied with his performance, but she still wanted to go because she needed to buy medicinal materials to make elixirs, and Anping Prefecture did not have such a big medicinal material merchant.
There are many people in Tong County in broad daylight, and because it is daytime, Mu Qianyu can see more clearly. There are no people outside Tong County. Some villages have been completely abandoned, and the land has basically not been developed. It seems that there is no intention to
Farming.
Of course, unlike Anping Prefecture, where all the villagers have fled, they have all moved into the city. The more merchants in the city do business, the more manpower they need.
Warehouses were built on the land near the city wall, and the warehouses were guarded by soldiers.
"These are the goods from major shops. Because the city is too small, they are all stored outside the city." Xiang Ziyou explained.
Mu Qianyu was a little confused when he heard this: "Isn't there a storage ring? No matter what, there is a storage bag."
"My dear brother, I don't know. All goods entering the city are strictly inspected and taxed. The unified storage is to facilitate government inspection and tax collection."
"But don't merchants collect taxes based on profits?"
"That's just part of it. Some developed cities also have to collect taxes on goods, especially in Tong County. The two taxes add up to a full 30%." Xiang Ziyou explained.
Mu Qianyu showed astonishment as if he had never seen the world before: "The tax of 30% is too heavy. I remember Anping Mansion only charges 10%."
"Businesses in Tong County make more money, so even though the taxes are high, it is still better than other places."
"You can really do whatever you want when you have traffic." Mu Qianyu said with envy.
"What did Xiandi say? Traffic?"
"It's just that there are so many people." Mu Qianyu explained hastily.
After entering the city, she started to buy from various shops, all based on the prescriptions of third-level elixirs. She raided Wang Changsheng's house and was now rich. She bought a lot of related and unrelated elixirs.
The elixir shop treated him as an honored guest and greeted him very attentively.
After visiting more than a dozen shops, Hou Mu Qianyu found that he had purchased tens of thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones and elixirs, and he was still hungry.
"Come on, let's have a meal and then go back to Yun Cui Lou." Mu Qianyu was walking to the river and boarded the boat in a familiar way.
She remembered that the snacks she ate here last time were good and tasted quite good, but because things were too rushed last time, she had to pack some for the children to take back this time.
Xiang Ziyou's face turned red when he followed him, and he whispered: "Brother Xian, why are you still here?"
"Why, Brother Xiang hasn't been here before, has he?" Mu Qianyu asked jokingly, looking at his face.
"This..." Xiang Ziyou shook his head repeatedly: "It's an insult to politeness."
After saying this, several people dressed as scholars on the boat immediately cast unfriendly looks.
