Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

I don't know what will happen to the rumors in the future. Anyway, in the past few days, it can be seen from Erchi Bagua's eyes that the rumors must have become more and more intense.

But I was busy with business, so I didn’t think too much about these things.

Ling Hengyuan really dared to let me explore alone. What I was asked to do was, simply put, to steal money from a wealthy businessman. I don’t know if he had high hopes for me or if he had a better way and I was just a shield.

I'm more inclined to be the latter.

But Ling Hengyuan still asked me to think of a way to make money, saying that although I was stupid, I had no shortage of ideas. How is this different from the previous time when your boss, who lacked artistic skills, forced you to submit an innovative plan?

Well, there is a difference, Ling Hengyuan will behead, but the boss will not.

So in the past few days, I have been looking up classics, and using the little advanced knowledge in my mind, I have been writing down whatever comes to my mind on paper, a bit like taking the essence and synthesizing the dross.

But when Ling Hengyuan saw the fold I presented to him, his sad expression that had lasted for several days was relieved at this time.

Ling Hengyuan: "You can see that you have worked hard, I approved it."

As soon as I said this, I felt that all the hair I had lost in the past few days and all the nights I had stayed up were worth it. It was like the weather had cleared up after the rain.

Looking at it suddenly, I found that Ling Hengyuan's complexion has not been very good recently. He has some black eyes and some stubble on his chin. I was closer to him when he went to court. Sometimes I can see him suddenly losing his mind. He must have stayed up late. Caused by. That's right, a little strategist like me is so busy, let alone the king of a country.

Thinking of the economic situation in Nanyang, I am indeed quite worried.

After receiving his approval, I immediately went down to refine and prepare for implementation.

When Princess Xiangyou saw me coming in such a hurry, she thought something big had happened. She told me not to be anxious while eating another grape.

I really don’t have any hope for the princess, but she can enjoy it more than I do. In her words, “I have become the princess, and I am still not allowed to enjoy the rights that a princess should have?”

Although you can't usually count on it, this time you need the princess's intervention.

I don’t know if Princess Xiangyou was a little bored lying down. Seeing that I asked her for help, she seemed excited: "What's the matter? Let me tell you."

I compiled all the properties under Ling Hengyuan's name into a book, and classified the property details, plus the expense details and various information of each workshop and shop.

I wrote a plan and improvement measures for each industry. At present, the models of all industries are not integrated enough and single. For example, for the weaving factory in the south, its main buyers are actually the clothing shops of other wealthy businessmen, not the shops under their own names. Although you can earn the price difference from the wealthy businessman, if you directly supply your own shop, the cost saved will already exceed the price difference.

The reason is very simple. The problem is that the people under Ling Hengyuan don't know how to manage. They think that they have made money when they get the money, and they don't bother to calculate the cost.

As expected, it has to be me, I am the best at saving money.

Princess Xiangyou half understood and half didn't understand, but this part had nothing to do with her, it was the next part.

The source of materials and cost savings can be dealt with in the first part, and then the next step is the sales part. At present, sales in Nanyang are all sold in ordinary shops, which is a situation where I will buy only when I have a need.

But what if we arouse their desire to buy?

For example, discounts, limited editions, exclusive royal brands... Yes, these are all my previous experiences of "buying". For example, some goods that have been piled up in the early years can be sold at a discount if they are not damaged. Anyway, they are piled up. If you don’t sell them, they will be sold for nothing. Maybe you can earn back the cost price...

These are small sums, but the big deal is this royal brand.

By selling items in the name of the princess, the officials and clan can gain a large number of consumers. We will then lower the price and target the masses. In this way, if a group of people buy it, they can make a lot of money even if it only lasts for a short period of time.

Princess Xiangyou nodded in agreement.

In fact, there is another reason. The princess is a cousin of the Holy Emperor, so she is closely related to the Holy Emperor. If we do this, we will definitely steal other people's jobs, and some people will be jealous. But if the royal family is involved, I'm afraid they won't dare to make any trouble.

Princess Xiangyou: "What if someone really dares to cause trouble?"

I said: "The princess really thinks that the dagger of the Holy One is a vegetarian?"

Of course, these are just my thoughts. The actual situation may not be satisfactory. But Ling Hengyuan was right, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.

But the more he behaves like this, the more I feel suspended. I feel that if I don't do well, I will be like a useless chess piece that can be discarded by him at will.

I looked at Princess Xiangyou. He may have another reason for sending Princess Xiangyou to reassure me.

I sighed, life is not easy, money is hard to make, and things are hard to do.

Me: "I have to go south for my humble job."

The south side is basically Ling Hengyuan's industry.

Princess Xiangyou was a little excited: "Then when will we set off?"

I thought for a while and said: "I will rest tomorrow and leave tomorrow."

There are no holidays for real working people, especially when the knife is still hanging around my neck and could fall at any time.

I told Qin Che about this matter, but I never thought that this guy would want to go with me.

I said, "Why are you following Archer?"

Qin Che: "Aji and the princess are going together, so naturally they need to be taken care of. The world is uneasy, and you two don't have martial arts to accompany you. It's still dangerous to think about it."

I wanted to refute that Nanyang was actually quite stable, but after thinking that I was not familiar with Nanyang and seeing Qin Che’s earnest eyes, I agreed.

It’s really not because he reimbursed all the expenses on the road.

But why didn't anyone tell me that Ling Hengyuan was going too?

At this time, at the entrance of the General's Mansion, the four people each occupied a piece of land, and the scene was a bit anxious.

I continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, this journey is tiring and it is difficult to take a break. Your Majesty should pay more attention to the dragon body."

Considering how he looks these days, he needs to take a good rest. It doesn't matter whether it's far or close to the south, and the round trip and return trip plus dealing with business will take two days.

Ling Hengyuan looked tired and said lazily: "No need, just leave now."

Qin Che didn't say anything. He opened the curtain and made a gesture of invitation, and Ling Hengyuan got in the car directly. Although the princess didn't have a good attitude towards Qin Che, she knew that she had to do business on this trip, so she got into the second carriage immediately after him.

Seeing this, I didn't need to say anything more, so I rode in the same car as the princess.

Thinking of the last time I traveled far away, when I returned to the capital from the military camp with Qin Che, it felt like a long time had passed.

But I said, "Your Majesty is not in the capital, what if someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble?"

As soon as the princess got in the car, she closed her eyes and meditated. When she heard me speak, she only said: "Don't worry, there is a Prime Minister in charge of the city, so there won't be any chaos."

The princess seemed to have thought of something and continued to talk to me: "Perhaps you don't know that in the early years when His Majesty just ascended the throne, the government was unstable and factions were fighting. In addition to His Majesty's reputation for cruelty, he suppressed some people, but there were also many people among them. Qin Che and Wen Ning’an’s assistance.”

I thought about it and thought that there was a certain friendship between these three people.

Princess: "Having said that, when I think about it, your Majesty now is indeed a lot more kind than your Majesty in the early years."
