Chapter 2435 ask for advice

For example, the palace has a long history and so on, that is the official appointed by the imperial court to manage the food town for them, but of course there is no such thing as Zhou Man. She has to discuss with the county magistrate of Liyang County herself.

Like Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, when they got the food, they directly asked people to pass a message to the local county magistrate. Everything was done in accordance with the court's decrees.

Of course, they can manage if they want, but they also have to pass the local county magistrate, such as the King of Yizhou, who used to increase taxes on the fiefs, and he had to say hello to the prefectures and counties first.

Of course, it's not that he can add it if he wants to. If the magistrate thinks that his request is unreasonable, he can file a complaint with the emperor, and then the emperor or the royal family Zongzheng will order the other party and refuse his tax increase.

Anyway, it has its own set of rules for operation. Man Bao is the first time as a township owner, and he is not very experienced, so he does not understand these rules, so he occasionally communicates with the new county sons and county men.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang simply acted as shopkeepers, "Our food town is far away. In Longzhou, everything is business as usual, and we can't control it."

Man Bao went to Ming Da and Chang Yu and said, "Your food is bigger than mine, what will you do then?"

Chang Yu said, "There is a long history."

Oh, yes, the Princess Mansion also has a long history.

Mingda said: "Work hard to develop agriculture, Man Bao, didn't you say before that you made a lot of money in the small village of Qili Village. Did you get the money for your study tour at the beginning?"

Man Bao nodded.

Mingda said: "I have more villages and food towns, and I can use more land and people. I don't like to do business. Competing with the people for profits will always hurt the people, but the agriculture is the foundation of the country, and it can also support my flowers. pin."

Chang Yu: "But my grandmother said that the farmer is poor, and the businessman is rich. You can plant an hectare of land, and the annual income is not as much as a single business."

Man Bao said: "Listening to what you said, it seems that businessmen will not lose."

She said: "In this world, if there are big benefits, then there are big risks, and the business is not as good as we see it."

Man Bao has seen a lot of people on this trip to the Western Regions, she said: "Some people make money by going back and forth, but some people go out and not only lose their brothers' lives, but also lose all their money. The world is impermanent, how do you know that your business can go smoothly every time?"

Princess Changyu said, "Your fourth brother..."

"That's because he transports goods that are not of great value, and he earns a lot of hard-earned money." Man Bao took a trip to realize that a loss like her fourth brother is not easy to lose, but in the same way, earning not more than others.

The most profitable business is still cloth, tea and porcelain, especially cloth, as if you can sell it no matter how much you ship.

But at the same time, it is also the easiest to grab.

After all, outside, cloth can sometimes be used instead of money.

However, the market has the most stringent requirements for it. As long as there is a little flaw, the value will be greatly reduced, and it will be exposed to rain, moisture, or stains...

And it's also the easiest to steal.

That is to say, the most imported medicinal materials on Thursday are medicinal materials, which can only be sold in pharmacies, and the unit price is not high. As long as they bring enough people, basically no one takes the risk of robbing them.

Chang Yu asked, "Then why don't you do business with a lot of money?"

Man Baodao: "Medicines, grains, and tea can all be self-certified that they were grown by my own family and relatives. Even if the amount is larger, it is still a farmer. If I manage too many other things, my fourth brother may be separated out. Set up a business."

As Man Bao's official became bigger and bigger, they became more and more cautious.

Especially on the way back from the Western Regions, Man Bao and Bai Shan discussed it, and also consulted Mr. Zhuang. Now that she is an official, one of them is still a very noble editor, so she must cherish her reputation even more.

Therefore, business can be done, but it is best to have something to do with agricultural and sideline products, such as grain, medicinal materials, cattle, sheep, etc., such as cloth, silk and porcelain, and try to keep as few as possible, so as not to be caught.

Man Bao encouraged Chang Yu, "Agricultural and sideline products are also very profitable. If you don't believe me, wait for you to come to my house, and I will show you the income of Tian Zhuangzi for the past two years."

Chang Yu immediately asked, "When will your family have a banquet? The royal father has already promised us. You have to send us a message. Can we play on the street that day?"

While making money is important, having fun is even more important.

Mingda also thinks so, the fief is still a little far away from her, and the moment is more important.

Man Bao said: "I have six days off. Starting tomorrow, Bai Shan and the others will also be free tomorrow. We will have a banquet the day after tomorrow."

Man Bao said very schemingly: "I've done the calculations. The day after tomorrow, everyone will have to go to the yamen. They can only come for a drink at noon at most, and they will go back to work in the afternoon. At that time, there will only be a few close friends left in my house. These female relatives, you don't have to be afraid of being seen, I will take you to take a tour of the garden, and then we will go to the lake in Huguo Temple to see the scenery."

Changyu and Mingda's eyes lit up, "Can you still swim in the lake?"

"Of course, the lake and spring in Huguo Temple are quite beautiful. There are many delicious things around the lake. Don't eat too much when you have a feast, keep a little stomach, and let's go out to eat delicious food."

The maids and aunts on the side: ... the first time I saw someone hosting a banquet, the host persuaded the guests to eat less.

Ming Da and Chang Yu were very excited, and while their hearts moved, they whispered, "This is not good, right? Is this an amusement?"

Man Bao said: "We can also offer incense to the Queen Mother at Huguo Temple, and wish her happiness and happiness in the West."

By the way, let's take a look at Master Zhiren. They have not seen Master Zhiren when they came back from the Western Regions. I don't know if the injury of Jiren has healed. His kung fu is so powerful. teach them some...

When Ming Da and Chang Yu heard it, they thought it was a good idea, so they wouldn't be able to have fun.

When Man Bao finally got home, the sun was about to go down, and Bai Shan, who was writing the invitation, was very curious, "We passed by the Ministry of Rites when we came out of the Ministry of Officials, and they clearly said that you are coming home from the palace, how did you get there? Have you been walking until now until you come home?"

Man Bao: "I was halfway through, and I remembered that I didn't know how to manage Shiyi, so I went back to ask Mingda and Changyu for advice."

Bai Shan: "Do they have any suggestions?"

Man Bao shook his head, "Although they are princesses, they don't have lands now, so I don't know, I plan to leave everything to Chang Shi."

Man Bao took out the long list and showed it to Bai Shan, "Nuo, my five hundred food towns."

Bai Shan glanced at it, faintly envious, "It's nice that your food is near."

See you at 6 pm
