Second-hand little prince

Chapter 279 Negotiation
Qin Ziming became a bookseller, and this big agent lived a very chic life. The usual work was watched by Xiao Wu and the others. He just looked at the books and made money by doing the calculations. shop.

Qin Zixuan was very supportive of this, but it was up to the emperor which way the candy would be sold. This hadn't been discussed in detail before, so Qin Zixuan decided to go to the palace to see the queen mother, and talk to the emperor by the way.

The emperor should be reading the booklets in the imperial study. Poor uncle, there is never a day of idleness. Qin Zixuan feels distressed and complains when he thinks of the emperor. The emperor is really not a human job.

Although the emperor sits on the world, but the world belongs to the people of the world, and he doesn't seem to be sitting on it. If you want to say that the world is rich, hehe, the person sitting in that high position knows best the real rich and the fake rich. Military spending is a headache.

Qin Zixuan said goodbye to Qin Ziming, and drove towards the palace in a carriage. When passing by Shangrong's shop, he asked Lin Xi to run over to buy some cakes, and sat in the carriage, nibbling on the big cakes, thinking about the business of sugar open.

Big and small agents can use this trick, but the problem lies in the export. If it is not stopped here, then the sugar will still not be delivered to the people's homes, or heavy taxes will be imposed at the border. This is also a trick.

In this way, an industry will be born, that is, smuggling. Qin Zixuan scratches his chin to recruit. Others are worried that things cannot be sold, but Qin Zixuan has to worry about how to sell this thing to the people's homes so that the people can afford it. arrive.

The price can be set by the state. Qin Zixuan thought of the daily necessities such as salt in his previous life. It seems that the state set the price in the first place, and all parties must abide by it. In this way, there will be no crazy price hikes, and it can be guaranteed that ordinary people can afford it.

Others saw that the Queen Mother was carrying exquisite snacks or carefully prepared gifts, but Qin Zixuan went in with cakes. The Queen Mother was also happy to see people, and actually ate half of the cakes in front of Qin Zixuan, and gave the rest to Auntie next to me.

After sending the nuns away, the queen mother took Qin Zixuan's hand to inquire about Li Han's situation. When she heard Li Han showing off his power in the hall, the queen mother was really worried and flinched. After all, she was not alone, but she had two bodies. no one can find a helper

Li Han's condition is extremely good, she eats well, sleeps soundly, wakes up with someone to accompany her, when she practices martial arts, someone brings tea and water for her, and when she rests, someone pinches her shoulders and beats her back.

Knowing that everything is fine with Li Han, the queen mother was relieved, pinching Qin Zixuan's growing arm, the queen mother was even more satisfied, as expected, Xuan'er's life depended on a noble lady to make her happy, Song's status is not enough, that's why Xuan'er will He has always been weak, so if he knew it earlier, he would directly order Xuan'er to carry a few noble girls.

After chatting with the Empress Dowager for a while, Qin Zixuan took his leave, walked towards the imperial study with empty hands, passed the imperial garden, looked at the garden full of flowers, Qin Zixuan admired it for a while, and then hurried on with his head tilted.

When he arrived at the imperial study room, he saw that the emperor was still reading the booklet, frowning so much that he could kill mosquitoes, Qin Zixuan coughed, raised his head and shouted: "Uncle Huang, I'm here to see you."

"Come on, sit down." The emperor pointed to the soft cushion next to him. The lover had already prepared a place to sit. Qin Zixuan came to the edge of the dragon table, sat down on the cushion, and reached out to grab the food on the plate. Dim Sum, found that the dim sum was still steaming, and immediately smiled.

The emperor really knows himself very well, even the snacks are prepared in advance, the maid brings tea and leaves, only the emperor Qin Zixuan and Wei Dehai are in the imperial study, the emperor then asked: "Why do you have time to visit me?"

"Hey, from what Uncle Huang said, it seems like I haven't seen you in a long time. I'm busy." Qin Zixuan grinned foolishly.

The emperor didn't point it out, this guy came to see me because of something, okay?He asked, "What's the matter this time?"

"What can I do? It's not that our sugar factory has started operation, but we haven't discussed the price of sugar in detail. Now that the cost has been calculated, the price depends on how much interest we plan to charge. gone."

Qin Zixuan took out a piece of paper, which was the list of costs recorded by Lin Dong. The price was not discussed before, mainly because the cost has not been estimated here, and the cost of transporting the sugar cane to the capital has to be calculated.

"Can't you write a notebook?" The emperor took the crumpled piece of paper, and was speechless to Qin Zixuan. Others submitted the notebook because they were afraid that their handwriting would not look good, or that their handwriting would be unclear, or that they had written wrong words. Don't worry about it at all.

"Hey, that's enough to write it together after the price is determined. You can also read a few less books. This is because I feel sorry for you so I didn't write it." Qin Zixuan said it as a truth, with a look of "I'm doing it for you" .

Wei Dehai's face twitched a few times. King Cheng was shameless and inhuman, so the emperor could tolerate him. If someone else was the emperor, he would have lost his head several times.

"Uncle Huang, what I'm worried about now is not how much money I make, but that these candies can really be bought by ordinary people. I'm worried about middlemen hoarding goods and raising prices, and I'm also worried about merchants shipping them to other countries for sale. Of course, it's not impossible to ship them to other countries for sale. But the merchants can’t take all the benefits, they have to leave the road money for Daqin.”

Um?It sounded plausible at the front, but when the money for the road came out later, it sounded like robbery. The emperor hummed and reminded Qin Zi to be more careful when speaking, and don't say anything out of the air.

"Hehe, I made a mistake. I mean that troops will be sent to collect taxes on the border, especially the materials most needed by various countries, such as sugar. Daqi can produce sugar by itself, so they may not import ours, but Daqi Chu is different."

"Those barbarians don't have sugar, candied fruit, etc., so we can send troops to block the border, and the merchants in the past collect tax on the difference. For example, sugar sells for one copper coin per catty here, but Dachu costs ten copper coins. Just charge him a tax of one to five copper coins, do you think this is good?"

When Qin Zixuan said this, he begged for a reward. When the emperor heard that he took the silver from his arms, there was no reason for it, but who should take care of the money?

The emperor raised a question, and Qin Zixuan gave the answer. The money will definitely not reach the emperor's hands, but it can be charged to the army's military equipment. embankment.

Of course, the emperor needs to look at the account books, and it is enough to send someone to check the accounts every year. Qin Zixuan did not think of getting involved in the money when he mentioned it, and it was calculated for the emperor. The emperor is very satisfied with this, and this nephew did not hurt in vain.

He always thinks about himself when he has good things, unlike his own son, who plays tricks with him one by one for the throne, and the border tax collection is kept in the emperor's heart.
