Chapter 6 Shopkeeper Wen’s rough calculation
After sealing the letter, Xie Changshi handed it over to the guards, who asked them to find someone to take the official route, and drove towards the capital at high speed.

The sound of lively crowds of people came in from the window. Gu Yuzhi couldn't hide his excitement on his face, but he put his hands behind his back and pretended to be serious: "Xie Changshi, come with me for a walk on the street."

Shopkeeper Wen wanted to see the business situation below, but he was attracted by the excitement downstairs.

When he was in the capital, he had never left the palace, and now he was full of curiosity about the market.

Xie Changshi was half a step behind Gu Yuzhi, ordered two guards to protect him closely, and followed Gu Yuzhi out of the inn.

As soon as he left the inn, Gu Yuzhi squinted his eyes slightly due to the dazzling sunlight, and said silently: "Shopkeeper Wen, Teacher Shu, come out."

After a familiar light flashed, Shopkeeper Wen and Teacher Shu appeared in his mind.

However, unlike the previous senses with closed eyes, Shopkeeper Wen and Teacher Shu have become extraordinarily small now: "Shopkeeper Wen, is this all right?"

Shopkeeper Wen nodded repeatedly: "Of course it's okay. Your Highness will take a walk around. If necessary, I will remind Your Highness."

After getting a positive answer, Gu Yuzhi stepped out. As soon as he left the inn, he was attracted by the small stall of the candy seller opposite. It happened that shopkeeper Wen asked him to stop nearby for a while. Gu Yuzhi then stepped forward and looked at the stall owner's drawings. The little rabbit's eyes were full of surprise: "What is this made of? It smells sweet."

The boss looked at Gu Yuzhi's pink and jade sculptures, and the clothes he wore were not ordinary linen clothes. He was followed by two tall guards. He immediately handed a dragon's candy man to him and said with a smile: "Young master, you can take it and take a look." At first glance, it’s a sugar painting.”

Gu Yuzhi took the sugar painting, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was a sweet smell, and he was surprised: "It's really made of sugar."

It turns out that sugar can also be used to draw pictures!

Gu Yuzhi looked at the omnipotent Xie Changshi with bright eyes, as if Xie Changshi's calligraphy and paintings were quite valuable.

He was thinking about what other things besides candy he could use to paint on, and if everything was stamped with Xie Changshi's seal, wouldn't he be able to sell it for a lot of money?
As soon as Xie Changshi gave the money, he saw Gu Yuzhi like this. He unconsciously took two steps back. His face said "Your Highness, you are not, you don't have it" and said after careful consideration: "Your Highness, please go forward again?"

It happened that Gu Yuzhi was reminded by Shopkeeper Wen, and he walked around with the candy paintings and looked at them. When Shopkeeper Wen told His Highness to wait a moment, he stopped for a while near a nearby stall, looking at the things on the stall curiously, and waited for Shopkeeper Wen to say. That’s it, let’s move on to the next location.

After wandering around for about half an hour, Gu Yuzhi was too tired to walk, and had no time to rent a sedan. The two guards took turns holding him, and they walked around for almost half an hour before taking in all the businesses around him. The circle is completed.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Xie Changshi brought a bowl of white fungus soup from the kitchen. Gu Yuzhi liked this sweet soup very much. After drinking it happily, he asked Xie Changshi to go down and rest.

After the door to the room was closed, Gu Yuzhi sat on the bed, closed his eyes and communicated with Shopkeeper Wen, his tone full of expectation: "Shopkeeper Wen, how are you doing? Did you see any suitable small business?"

He wants to make money quickly so that he can successfully build his mansion next spring, otherwise his money will not be able to support him until next year.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuzhi felt that he might be the most miserable prince in history... Shopkeeper Wen was exuding confidence at this moment: "Your Highness, according to my rough statistics, there are three large restaurants in Changzhou Prefecture, and two of them went in. There are more dignitaries, which should be related, and there are more civilians, so the prices should be lower. There are two rouge and gouache shops, one with expensive prices and one with lower prices. There are two jewelry shops, one focusing on jade and the other Mainly selling gold and silver, there are three medicine shops, but only one has a doctor. There are two cloth shops, and one can be made into clothes..."

Shu Xiaohan was shocked by Shopkeeper Wen's talk. In this hour, Shopkeeper Wen actually remembered so many things and was able to analyze so many things.

Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, and with this observation ability, even in the modern era of high-tech development, Shopkeeper Wen will definitely build his own business empire.

Gu Yuzhi felt drowsy after listening to it. The sequelae of walking too much suddenly seemed to appear at this moment, and he couldn't stop his sleepiness.

He tried not to yawn, and after Shopkeeper Wen finally shut up, he hurriedly spoke: "Does Shopkeeper Wen think it's appropriate?"

Shopkeeper Wen smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, this is just a statistical summary of the specific business layout. Next, Your Highness needs to send someone to understand the specific situation. No matter which business it is, we need to understand the specific costs. For example, these three restaurants, What kind of cuisine is sold, which cuisine is more popular, and what is the approximate price of this cuisine, how much is the rent of the restaurant, how many waiters are there, how much is the monthly salary of the shopkeeper and the waiters, and where do you buy vegetables, meat, etc. , and how much do these things cost? There are also preparations needed to open a restaurant..."

Gu Yuzhi only felt that the sleepiness that had been half dissipated gradually came back.

Shopkeeper Wen's voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away: "After all the costs are clarified, we can decide based on the cash available in the warehouse which industry is worthy of our involvement. Before there is no other input, we can't go too far. adventure……"

It was better now. Gu Yuzhi became even more drowsy. He blinked his eyes hard, but still couldn't restrain his sleepiness. His body became more and more crooked. It wasn't until there was a thud and his forehead hit the bedside that he woke up with tears in his eyes. She covered her forehead in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Wen, I don't understand what you're saying."

Gu Yuzhi was a little frustrated. Why is it so difficult to do small business?

Shopkeeper Wen was both funny and helpless. It was indeed difficult for His Highness King Wen.

Even an adult who doesn't understand these ways of doing business would find it troublesome, let alone a child like His Highness Prince Wen.

But when he thought of the system tasks, Shopkeeper Wen had to persuade patiently: "Your Highness, these things sound complicated, but as long as everything is allocated reasonably, once you get started, the speed will naturally increase. And the calculation cost, these industries are very different, basically It’s all like that.”

Gu Yuzhi held his chin for a while before saying, "Then I'll tell Xie Changshi and let him make arrangements."

He covered his mouth and smiled secretly. Anyway, Xie Changshi was arranging everything along the way. Just now he claimed to be the butler when he was out to avoid exposing his identity.

Just do it, Gu Yuzhi took a few steps and opened the door: "Let Xie Changshi come over, I have something important to discuss."

The guard responded in a low voice, turned around and knocked on the door next to him. Gu Yuzhi poked his head to the side and realized that Xie Changshi lived next door to him.
