Royal Gold Magistrate

"Okay! I'll accompany His Highness down, but let me tell you, when the time comes, you can sell the melons yourself, and I won't help you." Fangzheng gritted his teeth one by one.

go!If he didn't go, the boy ran to the princess's dark wind to light the will-o'-the-wisp.

I have learned badly!Maybe what kind of nonsense is being made up by the princess, so I have to guard against it!

Li Yuanzhao immediately smiled when he heard it.

"Don't worry! I'll sell it, but do you think our melons can be sold?"

Fangzheng turned around and walked to the door, and called Liu Jin to come in with a melon in his arms.

Put it down on the stone table in the yard, and then called the servants to divide the melons with knives.

Fang Zheng shook his head as soon as the watermelon was opened.

It's still egg-like, hollow watermelon, mostly white meat, it doesn't look sweet!

"Your Highness, do you like this cold melon?"

Li Yuanzhao looked at the watermelon: "I don't like it very much, the taste is average, but it is very big!"

Well, the reason is strong!

Big is better!

"That's it. The cold melon is still an ordinary cold melon. This thing just looks bigger and more durable. It doesn't stand out compared to ordinary fruits."

"The only advantage is that it appeared in a season that shouldn't appear. Is this worth ten taels of silver? Obviously it's not worth it!"

"And His Highness openly appeared in the palace to set up a stall. According to Chen's experience, those ministers will not buy it. If you don't recite the ginseng, you can count it! So it is very difficult to sell it at a price of ten taels! "

"Then if you want it to be worth the money, you have to create a gimmick to make it worth the price of twelve taels!"

"For example, if it's not sweet, you have to find a way to make it sweet!"

Li Yuanzhao was at a loss: "It's already like this, it's all picked off, how can it still be sweet?"

"I don't know, Your Highness, it's you selling melons, not me."

"Also, the most important point is that you can't cheat people when you sell something. If you can't make it sweet, then don't say it's sweet. The buyer is not a fool, so you won't be able to do business in the future." Fang Zhengyi said seriously .

A strange smile appeared on Li Yuanzhao's face: "Old Fang, don't pretend! Are you kidding me?"

Fang Zhengyi also gave a disdainful smile: "Although I use some language arts to do business, both parties can often benefit from it, and this provides the basis for continued cooperation."

"Secondly, if you cheat too much, it must be a one-shot deal, and you will never cooperate in the future!"

"Thirdly, if you want to lie, then lie for the rest of your life, or you can get the lie right, otherwise don't do it if you're not sure!"

"Your Highness is the crown prince, and no one can stand without trust! Business is always beneficial to both parties. False propaganda is just a trick, and honest management is the way! And it is a long-term way! Does Your Highness understand?"

Li Yuanzhao pondered: "Well...I'll think about it again."

.........

The next day.

Liu Jin led people to pull two carts of watermelons to the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony early on.

When the court meeting was over, the officials filed out from the hall and saw the two carts of eye-catching watermelons at a glance.

Then I saw Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao trotting all the way to the car.

Li Yuanzhao picked up the signboard on the car and stood up, facing the officials!

As soon as Fangzheng sat on the melon cart, he couldn't help covering his face.

Sure enough.... this land is too open, and selling melons looks extraordinarily weird!

The officials who had not yet walked down the steps saw the crown prince put up a sign, and rushed over one after another.

Although many ministers were wearing glasses at this time, they still couldn't see what was written on the sign at a distance.

I didn't see it until I got closer. The signboard Li Yuanzhao was leaning on was impressively written "Cold melon, not sweet, no money"

Seeing people approaching one after another, Li Yuanzhao shouted: "Sell melons! Sell melons!"

Fang Zhengyi turned sideways quickly, expressing that he didn't know each other.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanzhao stretched out his hand and stabbed him twice: "Old Fang! Shout for me!"

"You don't need my help!"

"It's not helping!"

Fangzheng had no choice but to turn his body back and shouted weakly: "Sell melons! Sell melons!"

At this time, more and more people gathered, and finally surrounded the melon stall.

"Come, come, everyone, let's come and see the melons sold by Bengong! No sweet, no money!" Li Yuanzhao couldn't help getting excited when he saw that there were so many people.

A group of ministers looked at Fang Zhengyi with a cold face.

Suddenly Li Yansong came out from the crowd, looked at the melon stall and then at Fang Zhengyi, and angrily said, "Fang Zhengyi! You are so brave! How dare you encourage His Highness the Crown Prince to sell melons in the palace, what a shame! "

The crowd followed suit: "Fang Zhengyi has started acting like a demon again."

"Yeah, why don't you stop all day long?"

"Li Gong is really selfless..."

Just as Fang Zhengyi was about to explain, Li Yuanzhao spoke first: "It has nothing to do with him! This is the melon I want to sell!"

"Since everyone is here, come and taste how my melon tastes, and buy one if you think it tastes good!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the knife next to his hand and raised the knife, Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka split a melon into a dozen parts.

A large puddle of juice burst from the melon in an instant and flowed to the ground.

Li Yansong was shocked immediately: "Your Highness, why is there so much water flowing in your melon? This is a rotten melon!"

Li Yuanzhao was upset: "What water? What water? That's juice!"

"Master Li, how does it taste? This is called honey melon!"

A piece of watermelon was handed to Li Yansong, but he didn't pick it up, and looked at Li Yuanzhao with a cold expression: "Your Highness, stop messing around."

"This is the palace, since His Highness is the prince, how can he sell melons here?"

"I also sold the glasses last time! Didn't you also buy them? Why can't you sell melons today?" Li Yuanzhao asked innocently.

"That...that's different!" Li Yansong blushed.

There is really no way to say in principle, you can't say that the glasses I use can be sold, right?

Sure enough, the prince learned from Fang Zhengyi and failed!

"Hey! Where are the melons at this time! It's already out of season!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly interrupted, and everyone's attention was instantly diverted.

yes!How can there be melons in the world now?

Li Yansong only realized that something was wrong about this matter, and his eyes couldn't help wandering to the melon.

Li Yuanzhao passed the melon forward again in due course.

Fang Zhengyi's voice came leisurely: "Everyone, rest assured to taste, rest assured to buy, Your Highness naturally does not sell melons for profit."

"This is a charity sale, and the money from selling melons will be donated to the poor folk..."

Since he wants to sell it, he can only say so, otherwise, depending on the attitude of the ministers, the melon will not be sold today!

Sure enough, when the charity sale was mentioned, the opposition voices became much quieter.

Seeing that the prince's hand was still raised, Li Yansong couldn't help but take the watermelon.

"Master Li, how about a taste?"

Li Yansong smiled wryly, took a small bite, suddenly his eyes lit up, and exclaimed: "Sweet! So sweet! I have never eaten such a sweet melon. It is indeed called a honey melon. There is a fragrance of nectar in it." , is really extraordinary!"
