Chapter 225 Fu Chenan builds momentum for Xiao Yingchun
Fu Chenan paid no attention to anyone else. After helping Xiao Yingchun get out of the car, he walked hand in hand into Taotao Ji without looking around.

Chunhua had already come forward with a group of palace servants and saluted Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Greetings to the Master..."

As Chunhua called out, the onlookers were shocked again.

"what?"

"This person is actually the boss of Tao Tao Ji?"

Xiao Yingchun also looked at Fu Chenan with a confused look: What's going on?
Fu Chenan explained with a smile: "You are the boss of Tao Tao Ji. All Tao Tao Ji in Tianwu Country are your property."

Xiao Yingchun: "Hmm?"

"If it weren't for your goods, this Tao Tao Ji would not be able to open. My Tianwu Dynasty provides the people and money, and you provide the goods, which brings convenience to the people of the world and also allows the court to make money."

"My father and I, as well as the people of Tianwu, are all very grateful to you!"

After saying this, everyone fell silent, looking at Xiao Yingchun in shock: This Tao Tao Ji is actually supplied by this girl? !
Aren’t the Western goods sold at Tao Tao Ji owned by Boss Xisi?!
Could it be that this person is actually the illegitimate daughter of Boss Sith? !

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yingchun didn't say too much to Fu Chenan. She just looked at him: Why?
Fu Chenan smiled and nodded at her, then he took hold of her little hand and pinched her with a little force.

Xiao Yingchun had no choice but to nod: "Let's talk about it after we go in?"

The two of them walked into Tao Tao Ji hand in hand and went up to the third floor using the stairs at the back.

The furnishings on the third floor are in the style of a living room, with tables, chairs, benches and carpets. A charcoal stove, hot tea and snacks have been prepared in advance.

Chunhua came up to report the situation: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and the boss, Taotaoji has decided to open for business tomorrow. The goods have been delivered and are being sorted and displayed."

"However, there are a large number of customers gathered at the door now. They want to buy first today. Do you need to disperse them?"

Fu Chenan didn't reply, but looked at Xiao Yingchun: "You are the boss, how do you say we should deal with this?"

Xiao Yingchun glared at Fu Chenan first, then nodded: "There is a term called trial operation. It means that you start selling in advance, find some shortcomings in the process, and then make timely improvements."

"This way, when we officially open for business, we won't be in a rush."

After all, we are opening a business. We cannot just send soldiers to guard the door and drive away customers. This would seem too coercive.

What's more, Xiao Yingchun will be the official owner of Taotao Ji in the future.

Therefore, from now on, Tao Tao Ji stores in various places will only have servants to maintain order.

Chunhua's eyes lit up: "Master, do you mean that we can sell some of it today?"

Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Okay."

When Chunhua came downstairs, the place became lively indeed...

The guards closed the door from the outside, leaving only Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun in the room. Xiao Yingchun then asked, "What's going on?"

How did he become the boss of Tao Tao Ji? !
Fu Chenan looked at Xiao Yingchun and smiled sincerely: "Now I am the crown prince of Tianwu Kingdom. If I want to marry you and shut up those pedantic old ministers and aristocratic families, I must build momentum for you..."

Xiao Yingchun had no roots in this era, and everyone just thought she was the illegitimate daughter of a Sith merchant.

Merchants had no status in this dynasty and were considered the lowest class.

If a daughter of a merchant, or a concubine's daughter, wants to marry into the royal family without being questioned, she needs some capital.

Tao Tao Ji is one of the capitals that Fu Chenan prepared for Xiao Yingchun.

Xiao Yingchun had heard a little about this. The ancients paid attention to the matching of family backgrounds.

If Fu Chenan was still the son of a butcher, no one would think that Xiao Yingchun was not worthy of him, and some people might even think that Fu Chenan was marrying above his station.

But now it’s different. Fu Chenan has become the most honorable prince in the entire Tianwu Kingdom!

That's different.

The merchant's concubine's daughter is not worthy of the Crown Prince of Tianwu Kingdom!
Not even worthy of being a concubine.

Fu Chenan talked about his plans.

"Tianwu State takes 20% of Tao Tao Ji's net profit; you take 50%; the general managers of the branches and the store managers of the branches take half of the profits of the stores;" "The provincial governments take another 25% to be used for local infrastructure construction..."

“After one year, we will make adjustments as appropriate.”

Xiao Yingchun was stunned: "I take 50%?"

She suspected that Fu Chenan had said the opposite: "Isn't it 50% for Tianwu Kingdom and 20% for me?"

Fu Chenan smiled and said, "If this country has to rely on us father and son to do business all year round, this country is not worth our efforts."

"To enable the court and the people to have the ability to survive, and to ensure that everyone can have enough food and clothing if they work hard, is the ultimate goal of me and my father."

"As for the 20%, my father and I have already discussed it and it will only be used for national infrastructure and education."

At this point, Fu Chenan looked at Xiao Yingchun deeply and said, "You were just an ordinary woman in that era, but your knowledge and thinking far surpass the most learned scholars here."

"When I can't think of a solution to many problems, I just need to ask you and you can easily come up with several solutions..."

Xiao Yingchun was embarrassed by the compliments: "I'm not that great."

Fu Chenan nodded seriously: "Yes, you didn't seem to be that great in your time. The reason is that everyone in your dynasty could read and write..."

"In our dynasty, less than 10% of people are literate, and only a very small number of people are willing to read and learn to write."

"I want all the children in Tianwu Country to be able to read, be enlightened, and develop their wisdom..."

Xiao Yingchun finally understood: Fu Chenan followed him to that era and traveled around for a few times. After feeling the convenience of technology and the benefits of reading, he was determined!
After thinking about it, Xiao Yingchun suggested: "Why don't you invest the dividends that are attributed to me in education?"

Education is actually very expensive, and there is no immediate return.

Fu Chenan's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! If the whole world is Xiao's Academy, you will be the teacher of all students in the world!"

"By then, all the students in the world will be grateful to you. Who will dare to say that you are not worthy of me?!"

Xiao Yingchun: ...That’s not what I meant.

But it was obvious that the prince meant it, and he was ready to execute it immediately.

Xiao Yingchun finally understood: Fu Chenan was determined.

The prince is always thinking about how to clear the obstacles to marrying Miss Xiao.

The noises below quieted down, and it was clear that order had been maintained: "Shall I go downstairs and take a look?"

Fu Chenan hurriedly followed: "I'll go with you."

There was a pearl curtain between the front hall and the back downstairs. Palace servants came forward and brought a coffee table, stools, tea and snacks for the two masters.

Xiao Yingchun and the prince just sat there, drinking tea and eating snacks while looking outside through the beaded curtain.

Because the shop is large enough, improvements have been made this time: a rest and waiting area has been set up at the outside, and all customers whose turn has not yet come will sit in the waiting area first and be served tea.

There are still small counters inside, where customers are received one-on-one.

Today, there are ten small counters in the shop serving customers at the same time.

The palace maids who serve their masters in the palace all year round have gentle and considerate voices, just the right smiles, and are well-behaved. However, they have their own aura of the palace and people dare not look down on them.

Using them to receive these female relatives is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The women were so happy that they returned with their bags full: "Pack all these for me."

"I want ten yuan for this new soap, no, fifty yuan. I also want ten yuan for this old one..."

"I want this pair of pearl earrings..."

The people inside were looking outside, and the people outside would occasionally peek inside.

The prince is sitting behind the beaded curtain... He is looking at me! He is looking at me! He must be looking at me!

The girls blushed and their hearts beat fast. They couldn't even concentrate on the things in front of them. They just responded randomly: "I want it, I want it, I want it all..."
