Chapter 221 Tianwu Dynasty Winter Plan
After breakfast, Fu Chenan remembered the prince’s job, took out a list, and looked at Xiao Yingchun with a smile.
"Yingying, I need your help..."
The country was just beginning to settle down, and all industries were waiting to be developed. The court needed to make money, and the people needed food and thick clothes to survive the winter.
In the past, houses would collapse and people would freeze to death every year.
Emperor Tianwu did not dare to expect that all the people would not freeze to death, but he also wanted to save as many lives as possible.
Dong Chunfeng's previous words poured cold water on Fu Chenan: Tianwu Kingdom did not exist in Xiao Yingchun's history, so it was obviously impossible to support a country by selling the treasures in the palace all year round.
It is better to start with the soaps, cosmetics, skin care products and various pearls that Tao Tao Ji sold in the beginning.
The list is the various products that Tao Tao Ji sold before.
It’s just that the number is more than ten times greater.
"I plan to sell Tao Tao Ji's products to various places in Tianwu Country."
"The shopkeepers needed will be selected from among the palace maids and older palace servants, on a voluntary basis, and the previous shopkeepers of Tao Tao Ji will be responsible for training them..."
There is no female master in the harem now except the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Qi of the previous dynasty. Keeping so many palace maids in the palace is also a burden on the court.
It would be better to select the smart ones among them for training, and send them to Tao Tao Ji stores in various places to work as salespersons.
Tao Tao Ji’s products are relatively priced, so the profits are naturally high as well.
Also, because it is not a necessity of life, poor people will not spend money to buy it, and it has no impact on their daily lives.
Xiao Yingchun naturally supported it and immediately found the previous supplier and ordered more than a dozen trucks of soap, skin cream, lip balm, eyebrow pencil... At the same time, she also put forward her own ideas.
"Or we can select another batch of items from the palace and send them abroad for auction, and at the same time import another batch of grain from abroad..."
Corn in the United States has achieved fully mechanized planting, harvesting and processing, with astonishing yields and low prices, at only 1,200 yuan per ton.
If we buy tens of thousands of tons, it will greatly alleviate the food shortage in Tianwu Kingdom.
But Fu Chenan will have a harder time.
Even with the help of an electric train, it would still take him a long time to move...
When Fu Chenan heard that a pound of corn cost only a few cents, he was completely shocked.
He even began to regret buying wheat last time. Wheat costs 1,500 yuan per ton. With the same money, he could have bought a lot more corn...
Corn is also a food and can also fill your stomach.
But with so much corn, even if it was sold at a very low price, the poor people could not afford it.
But if we give it away for free, I’m afraid it will breed a bunch of lazy people.
Fu Chenan sincerely asked: "Yingying, do you have a better way to ensure that the people do not take food for nothing and that it is beneficial to long-term development?"
Xiao Yingchun looked at the withered weeds on the hillside outside the window and said, "It's winter now, and it's the perfect time to build water conservancy projects!"
"You can then use the food as wages and give it to the people who come to work every day. Wouldn't that be using work for relief?"
"As for those who are unwilling to work for food and just want to eat ready-made food for free...then we can only leave it to fate, right?"
Fu Chenan's eyes lit up!
Water conservancy project? !
As expected, it’s Yingying!
If this method is used well, the people who have no surplus food this winter will have an additional way to survive.
Now that the water conservancy project is repaired, we can irrigate the fields in time next year and increase grain production.
Xiao Yingchun asked: "If the people don't have enough clothes to wear, can we let them exchange Chinese herbs for cloth and cotton to make quilts and clothes at home?"
This way, everyone benefits!
It's just a pity for the prince... After the two of them finished discussing, Xiao Yingchun picked out three jewelry boxes.
One is made of red gold filigree inlaid with gemstones, one is made of red sandalwood with gold and silver filigree inlaid with kingfisher feathers, and the other is made of rosewood inlaid with mother-of-pearl...
If these three jewelry boxes were taken abroad and auctioned, they should be enough for Fu Chenan to buy food.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yingchun suggested to Fu Chenan: "Go and see if there are any other beautiful swords or the like. If there are, take two more to the auction."
"it is good."
Fu Chenan also sent over a complete set of rosewood tables and chairs and two swords, and packed the dragon robes, phoenix robes and shoes in a plastic box and took them to the Tianwu Palace to avoid taking up space in the villa.
Fu Chenan also brought lunch for the two of them from the palace, which was still simple home-cooked meals specially prepared by the imperial chef.
After eating and cleaning up, He Liangcong arrived.
Seeing Fu Chenan there, He Liangcong hurriedly greeted him, and then his eyes were glued to the newly replaced rosewood tables and chairs in the hall, unable to move their gaze away.
The rosewood ornaments, pendants and other items on the rosewood treasure cabinet shelf next to him also dazzled him.
After He Liangcong finally finished reading, Xiao Yingchun asked, "Is this enough?"
He Liangcong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Enough, enough!"
Such a large quantity and such good quality are enough to support an auction.
Look at these things. They are exquisitely made with fine materials and in great condition. Look at the exquisite patterns, you can tell they are made here.
Things like this will definitely be popular in the collectibles market!
And the best part is: no two of these things are the same.
In addition to a complete set of rosewood tables and chairs, there are also pairs of ornaments, pendants, and a huge rosewood brocade screen...
"After such an auction, several hundred million can be easily earned!" He Liangcong exclaimed in admiration, his eyes shining.
Seeing his high enthusiasm for work, Xiao Yingchun was also happy for the future of Boguzhai: the boss is working hard, and the company has a promising future!
He Liangcong called Wang Yongjun to come and pick up the goods.
Xiao Yingchun was very surprised: "Why are you willing to use Wang Yongjun again?"
He Liangcong chuckled and said, "It's unrealistic to find a high-end security company like the one in Beijing in Huangshan."
"Although Wang Yongjun is sometimes unclear, there is no problem in delivering the goods. Besides, his charges are much cheaper than sending a car from Beijing..."
"You can't be mean to anyone but money, right?"
Xiao Yingchun laughed: He Liangcong has really changed. He now knows how to count small amounts. He is no longer the playboy who used to squander hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bar in one night.
While Wang Yongjun was coming to pick up the goods, Xiao Yingchun received a call from Tang Siqiong.
Thinking of leaving Ye Yubin to Tang Siqiong last night, Xiao Yingchun subconsciously felt guilty: "Miss Tang?"
"Miss Xiao? Where are you now? Abin and I would like to invite you to dinner." Tang Siqiong's voice was full of cheerfulness and joy.
Me and Abin?
Are these two together?
Xiao Yingchun asked sensitively: "You and my Uncle Ye? The two of you..."
Tang Siqiong smiled and agreed on the other end of the phone: "Yes, your uncle Ye and I just went to get the marriage certificate, we are married!"
"Cough cough cough!" Uncle Ye's awkward and violent coughing was heard from the other side.
Xiao Yingchun's pupils trembled: Isn't this speed too fast?
It is said that middle-aged people's love is like an old house on fire, dry wood and strong fire will catch fire at any time. Is it true?!
"I... I'm at my home, Uncle Ye knows the place..." Xiao Yingchun was so shocked that he stuttered.
"Then just wait, we will be back soon..."
