Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 199

His Majesty Li Er seemed to be curious about everything, because many things greatly exceeded his cognition, such as the cargo boats weaving on the river.

"I paid attention to it. There are almost all merchants from Jiangnan and Jiangbei here. Why do these merchants sell their goods to Fang Jun?"

Ren Zhongliu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, these merchants are not selling their goods to Fangshilang, but just hoarding their goods here. Instead of transporting goods from thousands of miles here, they have to sell them door-to-door. How can they compare with renting goods?" How many warehouses are there to store the goods here, waiting for the merchants to come to buy them?"

His Majesty Li Er dared to be amazed: "Even if there are merchants who come to buy, but there are so many goods gathered in one place, there must be mixed good and bad, and the prices are chaotic. How to deal with this situation?"

Ren Zhongliu smiled confidently, pointed to a ship of goods that had just been hoisted ashore with a boom, and said, "Your Majesty, please see that for every ship of goods that lands, there must be experts invited from all over the Guanzhong to tell you about the place of origin, quantity, The quality is recorded, and then sorted and checked into the warehouse. For each commodity, its details and the price the owner intends to sell will be written on a wooden sign and listed for sale. When buyers buy goods, they do not need to communicate with the seller. You only need to measure it according to the goods listed for sale in the trading hall. If there are more goods, the price will naturally drop, and buyers will come after hearing the news; if there are more buyers, the shipment volume will naturally increase greatly. Sellers will naturally gather here. Under the virtuous circle, it will naturally become...the distribution center for goods in Guanzhong!"

These are Fang Jun's original words, Ren Zhongliu learns and sells now, and uses it to fool His Majesty Li Er...

His Majesty Li Er thinks this method is good, the buyer lowers the price when the goods arrive, the quality of the goods is not good after payment, etc., which are very easy to encounter in commodity transactions, etc., have been avoided to a great extent.

It's just that he couldn't figure out one thing: "How does Fang Jun make money?"

Speaking of this, Ren Zhongliu sighed again and again: "The Fang Shilang's idea is indeed like a stroke of genius, and it is impossible for ordinary people to speculate! There are three ways to make money, one is the loading and unloading fees of the wharf. Tang Shanghao', which is used to pay the salaries of the dock workers and the daily maintenance of the dock; the second is the lease of the warehouse, but the price is extremely low, which will be enough to maintain the management of the entire warehouse; the third is to charge [-]% during the transaction One transaction tax, this amount is huge; but Fang Shilang said that the most profitable is not these, but the payment for the goods ten days later."

His Majesty Li Er felt that his self-confidence had been hit, and his brain was not enough...

Thinking about it, I am also gifted by heaven and extremely intelligent, so why am I always baffled by Fang Jun's methods?

"Doesn't that still have to be delivered? But it can't be turned into his own money..."

His Majesty Li Er is still open-minded, so he is not ashamed to ask.

Ren Zhongliu admired: "At the beginning, I also asked this question, but after the business at the dock became more and more prosperous, I understood."

You know...you know a hammer!

His Majesty Li Er was a little bit annoyed. I understand, but you said, do you still want to let Zhen feel ashamed to ask?
Fang Jun is a coward, and the people under him are also likable...

Fortunately, Ren Zhongliu did not wait for His Majesty to ask questions, and said: "There is a stipulation in the transaction contract that the seller must pay the purchase price after ten days without any normal complaints from the buyer. However, the buyer still pays the purchase price when he picks up the goods. Qing, so it is kept in the hands of Fang Shilang, which makes both buyers and sellers agree, and can avoid a lot of embarrassment. It seems that Fang Shilang just withholds the payment for ten days, and finally has to hand it over. But in fact, as long as the warehouse If it exists, the goods will be sold every day, so the money for this kind of goods will be received every day... So, Weichen discovered that, in fact, there was a sum of money that was kept in the hands of Fang Shilang from the beginning to the end. It is equivalent to his own money, he can use it for whatever he wants, and with the expansion of the warehouse, the money will be more and more..."

His Majesty Li Er finally understood.

This is an empty glove white wolf!
Build a trading platform with a freight yard, and the buyers and sellers will willingly hand over the money to him...

And looking at the prosperous appearance of this pier, you can see how much money should flow into Fang Jun's hands every day.

Not surprisingly, His Majesty Li Er was deeply jealous...

I'm racking my brains on how to make money, and I'm about to raise taxes on the common people. If Fang Jun comes up with a random idea, some people will willingly send money to their door.

What kind of world is this?
Princess Gao Yang stood obediently beside His Majesty Li Er, pursing her cherry lips, her beautiful eyes looked at all the novelty around her, her heart was slightly shaken...

When the barge arrived, His Majesty Li Er sat in the carriage again, and did not say another word, feeling very upset.

Both Ren Zhongliu and Li Junxian didn't know why this venerable looked gloomy, and they didn't dare to speak casually. The group walked through the dock area in silence and went straight to the hillside behind the dock.

As soon as I got out of the dock area, a few horses rode over to meet me.

His Majesty Li Er looked out from the curtain of the car, and happened to see this young knight sitting on the leading horse.

The young girl has a beautiful face, wearing a mustache with arrow sleeves, and riding boots on her feet, she looks heroic.

Immediately, a large group of people trotted around the dock area, surrounding the young knight.

The young knight dismounted from her horse with a sly smile on her face, but she also had the aloofness of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

Seeing a group of people who looked like merchants surrounding the girl, like stars surrounding the moon, His Majesty Li Er asked in surprise, "Who is this girl?"

Princess Gao Yang curled her lips when she heard the words: "Of course it's the concubine that His Majesty the Emperor gave to Fang Jun..."

The sour taste in his voice could not be concealed.

His Majesty Li Er suddenly realized that it was really that Wu Meiniang after a closer look.

It's just that when she was in the palace in the past, this girl was very delicate, with a kind of delicate beauty; now I don't know if Fang Jun has nourished her well, and she has become a little round and round, but she is by no means fat, but more graceful Gorgeous and bright.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "I hear you, are you blaming my father? You know, at that time you proposed to give this girl to Fang Jun, so as to see if Fang Jun is really a good man... Did you, Fang Jun, have this matter?"

Princess Gao Yang's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said in her heart that the black-faced god is so strong, it's too normal...

His Majesty Li Er looked at Wu Meiniang, who was surrounded by wealthy merchants not far away, and couldn't help frowning: "Why does Fang Jun allow his concubine to show his face so much?"

No matter how open the customs of the Tang Dynasty were, it would be inappropriate for such an unmarried concubine to mix among a group of wealthy businessmen.

Ren Zhongliu, who was outside the car, kept an eye on the situation inside the car. Hearing this, he explained: "Didn't Your Majesty hand over the glass business to His Highness King Qi? His Highness King Qi and Fang Shilang are close friends, and each holds half of the share. In addition, there are soaps and other items produced by the Fangjia workshop, which are the capital of the 'Eastern Datang Company'. Among them, the part of Fang Shilang is entirely in charge of by Mrs. Wu."

Princess Gao Yang was taken aback: "Then Fang Jun is not afraid that Lady Wu will abscond with the money?"

Ren Zhongliu smiled and said, "Probably not afraid."

His Majesty Li Er is concerned about another matter: "There are officials from the Ministry of Industry at the dock to help, and the company is handed over to Mrs. Wu. What is Fang Jun doing?"

The important things are handed over to others. Could it be that he counts the money at home?

Ren Zhongliu had a look of admiration on his face, and he admired him infinitely: "The servant of the house... write a book at home and talk about it!"

Write a book? !
At this moment, no matter whether it is Princess Gao Yang, Li Junxian, or His Majesty Li Er, who is self-conscious about cultivating Qi, he is at home, all are speechless.

By writing two crooked poems, can you write a book?

This is the highest achievement of a literati life!
Not only can he pass on his own ideas, but he can also avoid being full of talents from being annihilated due to the end of his life. He can also be recognized by the world and leave himself a place in Wang Yang's history.

But is writing a book that easy?

Splendid literary talents, resolute temperament, support from scholars, huge waste on engraving...

Let most literati flinch.

Now, that 17-year-old Fang Jun wants to write a book?
His Majesty Li Er was very disapproving of this.In his mind, it is not difficult to write a book. Fang Jun is nothing more than relying on his rich wealth and the reputation of his father Fang Xuanling to make up an indecent book and publish dozens or hundreds of books casually. If you donate a few books, you can be regarded as having passed the addiction of writing books.

But when it comes to "Li Shuo", that is pure nonsense.

You are a stick and a dumbass, what views and ideas do you have that can be recognized by the scholars of the world?

However, His Majesty Li Er also has to admit that Fang Jun is really capable of tossing around...

The carriage swayed upstream along a small river with plenty of water, and when it reached the half-hillside, it heard a blast of trumpets not far away.
