The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 34 The good mood is gone
Early the next morning, when Gu Yuzhi woke up, he heard Nanny Xu say that Xie Changshi was waiting outside the door. His face lit up with joy: "Xie Changshi must have come to tell me the good news."

Without enough time to wait for Nanny Xu to put on her coat, Gu Yuzhi hurriedly put on her boots and ran out of the inner room: "Xie Changshi, thank you Changshi."

Gu Yuzhi ran in front, while Nanny Xu chased after her, still holding her coat in her hand: "Your Highness, Your Highness, put your coat on quickly. It's cold in the morning, so be careful of getting cold."

As soon as he heard this, Gu Yuzhi immediately stopped, turned around and walked towards Aunt Xu, muttering in his mouth: "You can't be infected with wind and cold, you can't be infected with wind and cold, otherwise Qin Yuan will give me something smelly and difficult to drink." I drank Chinese medicine.”

When he thought of Chinese medicine, Gu Yuzhi's little face wrinkled up, and he couldn't help but sneered. After putting on his coat, he continued to trot and said: "Xie Changshi, Xie Changshi, are you here to tell me the good news?" ?”

Xie Changshi bent down slightly: "Yes. Yesterday, I and Guard Qi made an agreement, and Guard Qi has agreed."

Gu Yuzhi smiled when he heard this, his eyes widened: "Then we can take action right away." He silently asked Shopkeeper Wen, "Shopkeeper Wen, shopkeeper Wen, what should we do next?"

Shopkeeper Wen didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly. He thought that given his status as Guard Qi, he would at least have to push back.

He coughed lightly: "The escort agency requires not only the strength of the escort, but also a strong backstage..." Shopkeeper Wen smiled when he said this, "Of course, our Highness is the hardest backstage. But. , what I mean is that this matter needs the support of Magistrate Qi."

Gu Yuzhi wondered why opening an escort bureau requires the toughest backend?

He scratched his head: "Since I am the strongest supporter, why do I still need the support of Prefect Qi?"

"As the saying goes, it's better for the county magistrate to be in charge now. Although His Highness is a prince, in Mobei..." He coughed a few times and didn't understand what he said clearly. "There are two types of darts who generally protect one. They are people, and the other is things. Many times we come into contact with valuables, and many times they are involved in some disputes. For example, some people will pass off substandard goods and then find trouble with the escort agency after arriving at the destination. Another example is that the escort protects people. , but when they get to the place, they will refuse to pay the balance due to the reason that the person was injured, so at this time, the role of the prefect Qi is reflected. "

He shook his folding fan and said: "As long as the people in Mobei know that this escort agency is familiar with Qi Zhifu, then ordinary people will not come to trouble. If a dispute really occurs, as long as our escort agency is not at fault, there is no need to worry about the government. It’s not going to be fair here.”

Speaking of the word fairness, Gu Yuzhi thought of the time when his father was still alive. Because he had no one to support him, neither his father nor his mother's family, so he, an unpopular prince, rarely left the palace. After all, No matter which royal brother he had a dispute with, no matter who was right or wrong, he and his mother and concubine would be punished.

He felt it was unfair at the time, but later he understood that it was because they had no one to support them.

Shopkeeper Wen said that he wanted Magistrate Qi to know that he was the person behind the escort agency. Simply put, he wanted Magistrate Qi to support them.

After thinking about it, he quickly understood.

He nodded and said in a brisk tone: "I understand this, what else is there?"

Shopkeeper Wen showed a smile of satisfaction on his face, and continued: "In addition to the support of the government, we also need an experienced shopkeeper. As I told His Highness earlier, there are two types of escorts, one kind of person and one thing. Especially It is a commodity, so it requires a very experienced shopkeeper to have a good eye, and he needs to be able to see the goods without making mistakes, and the valuation is not outrageous. In addition, there are the most basic handymen, accountants and the like."

Gu Yuzhi was starry-eyed and felt so complicated: "I thought the escort agency only needed to have escorts."

It turns out that there are so many aspects involved.Shopkeeper Wen smiled and took this opportunity to teach Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, please note that any big business that can be done can never be done by one or two people. If we don't talk about other places, let's talk about Mobei. Your Highness is going out. The restaurants, inns, jewelry shops, and pawn shops that you can see are all made up of many people. Everyone has their own responsibilities and things to do. All your Highness needs to do is to find a reliable and experienced shopkeeper. Just coordinate these things.”

As a prince, it is enough to be a boss behind the scenes, and he must not be exposed to the public.Otherwise, if the wealth has accumulated to a certain level and the emperor is informed, the nature of the matter will change.

As an imperial merchant in Zeng Jin, Shopkeeper Wen knows this well.

Gu Yuzhi repeated shopkeeper Wang's words in his mind several times, and whispered: "Just like in the palace, each palace has maids and eunuchs who do miscellaneous tasks, and then there are also maids and eunuchs like Aunt Xu. The internal supervisors, they are in charge of these little maids and eunuchs, but they are managed by the empresses of each palace, and the empresses of each palace are managed by the queen's sister-in-law."

He looked at Shopkeeper Wen: "Is the Queen's sister-in-law the reliable and experienced shopkeeper that Shopkeeper Wen said?"

Although the queen has a distinguished status, there seems to be nothing wrong with saying this...

Shopkeeper Wen could only nod his head and said: "His Highness' future business will not only involve the escort agency, but will also involve more aspects. At that time, it will be necessary to establish a trading firm, and the big shopkeeper of the trading firm will unifiedly manage these separate business shopkeepers. And the big boss of the trading firm The shopkeeper is equivalent to the coordinating position of the queen in the palace."

As for His Highness, his status in the trading house is equivalent to that of the emperor in the palace.

This was a bit disrespectful. Shopkeeper Wen just thought about it silently in his heart and did not say it out loud.

This shopkeeper and that shopkeeper were a little confused, but they probably understood the meaning.

He wanted to ask some more details, so he heard Xie Changshi say: "Your Highness, today I am going to see Magistrate Qi. The escort agency is not a trivial matter, and we need Magistrate Qi's help. In addition, we also need to meet these mountain bandits. Find out why these bandits robbed the things given by the emperor."

Gu Yuzhi looked at Xie Changshi's eyes sparkling and thought that Xie Changshi was so awesome.

While he was thinking about how to go to Magistrate Qi, Xie Changshi thought of it. He felt like he had found a big treasure.

Xie Changshi was a little carried away by the admiration in Gu Yuzhi's eyes, and straightened his back silently: "I will report to His Highness after I understand the intentions of the bandits."

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face. He had never seen bandits before. Are they as big and round as the stories told by his mother and concubine, with beards?
He was about to say that I wanted to go too, but then he thought about it, he still had to go to school, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, Xie Changshi, go and do your work. Let me know when you have the results. I'll eat." I’m going to school.”

He took two steps to the side, then looked up at Xie Changshi, his voice trembling: "Xie Changshi, is it possible that Chen Dianyi is still teaching today?"

I’m not in a good mood anymore!
