I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

"General!" A maid's voice came from the door.

Shen Lianxin looked up and saw that Gu Dingbei looked a little haggard.

She quickly stepped forward to help him change out of his going-out clothes, "Why are you back so late? Did something happen to you?"

Gu Dingbei changed his clothes, sat down and took a sip of tea.

"It's okay, but these people are too hypocritical. It's really helpless to work with them."

Shen Lianxin nodded and silently took out a bottle of Coke. Gu Dingbei's eyes lit up, he took the Coke silently and took a big sip.

"Ah! Cool!"

"I have already written to tell my father and mother that everything is fine here and they don't need to worry. I fought for food and fodder for the Zhenbei Army in the court, but the emperor refused on the grounds that the treasury was empty. Alas! I am afraid that these few months will be difficult again."

Shen Lianxin patted his hands and said, "You can ask father to take the supplies I left in Chengyuan as backup. It will be enough for the Zhenbei Army to survive for a while. In two months, spring will arrive."

Gu Dingbei looked at Shen Lianxin, his heart full of gratitude. If it weren't for Shen Lianxin, the Zhenbei Army might have collapsed long ago.

"Lianxin, how was your visit to the palace today? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Shen Lianxin shook her head, "No. Everything is going well here. Don't worry about me."

Gu Dingbei was a little tired and went to bed to rest early.

Shen Lianxin knew that Gu Dingbei must have been wronged in the court, which was why he was so physically and mentally exhausted.

I guess he was also avoiding the important issues when it came to Shen Lianxin, only reporting the good news and not the bad news! !

The next day! Shen Lianxin summoned the shopkeepers of several shops in the capital.

In Jingyuan, several shopkeepers chatted with each other and they all knew each other.

"Shopkeeper Huang!!"

"Manager Yu!! Long time no see, long time no see!!"

"Manager Tan, nice to meet you, nice to meet you!!"

"I wonder why the Crown Prince's wife summoned us?"

"I don't know either! Someone from the palace informed us that our shops in Kyoto have been given to the Crown Prince's wife. We have to be careful when the owner changes in the future."

"Yes, yes! I wonder what kind of personality this princess has. Does she understand the management of the shop? Did she ask us to come here to check the accounts?"

"Oh! Who cares? He is just trying to intimidate us! I heard that the Crown Prince's wife is from a peasant family. What can she know? We can just fool her."

Shen Lianxin had just arrived and happened to hear what Manager Tan said. She walked up to the main seat without changing her expression.

Shopkeeper Tan looked embarrassed and tried to force a smile.

Sitting firmly, Shen Lianxin took a sip of tea and glanced at Shopkeeper Tan, who smiled awkwardly.

"Three shopkeepers, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."

The three stepped forward and saluted, "Madam, please give your orders!"

"From now on, all the shops of the shopkeepers will be closed!"

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. They were going to close their shop. Although their shop was not doing very well, they also knew that in this capital city, every inch of land was worth a lot of money, so they could still make money, and the cities outside were not doing well.

There weren't many businesses in the Zhenbei Palace that made money, and this was one of the best shops that could make money for the palace. Shen Lianxin came up and wanted to close their shop, and everyone looked flustered and unhappy.

"Madam, my shop in Kyoto sells grain, which is a strategic resource. These years have been famine years, and grain is precious. Our grain shop has made a lot of money. The annual income is more than 2000 taels. If we close the business, isn't it a loss?"

"Madam, although my cloth shop in the north of the city is not the best in the industry, it still makes a profit of more than 3000 taels a year. How can we just close it down like that?"

Shopkeeper Tan also stepped forward and said, "Madam, the food sold in my shop is eaten by people from all over the country. Although the annual income is not much, the information contained in it is quite a lot."

Shen Lianxin smiled and signaled everyone to stay calm.

"Don't worry, shopkeepers. I understand what you are talking about. I have also looked at the account books of the shops."

Several shop owners looked at each other and said, "You know all this, and you still want to close our shops?"

"Come and have a look, shopkeepers!" Shen Lianxin showed the plan and decoration style plan to several shopkeepers.

"My shop is going to be changed to Yueyan Pavilion?"

"I changed mine to Treasure Pavilion?"

"Shen's BBQ?"

Several shop owners carefully read Shen Lianxin's plan. The idea was good, but they had no confidence in Shen Lianxin's product. Could it make money?

Everyone looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

"Madam, this plan is good. However, the initial investment in decoration is not a small amount. If the things cannot be sold, it will be a total loss!"

"Madam, it's a good idea, but we can try selling the goods in the store first. If they sell well, we can start investing. This way we can be more confident."

Shen Lianxin understood their concerns. Several shopkeepers were trained by the palace. They had worked for the palace for generations and their lives and property were pledged to the palace. Now the old princess gave these people's deeds to her, which was equivalent to completely handing them over to Shen Lianxin.

They all genuinely care about the shop.

Only Shopkeeper Tan laughed out loud.

"Haha!! Shen's BBQ!! Great, great!! This is good, it will definitely make money. Madam, let's start work as soon as possible according to this plan!"

Huang and Yu looked at Tan in confusion. Tan explained, "You two don't know that Shen's BBQ, a new restaurant in the catering industry, originated in Yuncheng. It has opened many branches in Lingzhou and Jiangjun. Now it is recruiting franchisees. The taste is absolutely unique. I once went to Yuncheng to try Shen's BBQ. It is so delicious that it is unprecedented and unparalleled."

Shopkeeper Tan's high evaluation aroused the curiosity of Shopkeepers Huang and Yu, "Is it better than the one made by the chef at Yingkeju?"

"No, no, no, they are not the same thing. Shen's BBQ specializes in barbecue. You will know after you have tried it. Haha!! Madam, if we join this Shen's BBQ, I am confident that it will become a great delicacy in Kyoto and make a lot of money. But..."

Shen Lianxin was puzzled, "Just what? Shopkeeper Tan, why don't you just say it directly!"

"Shen's BBQ is looking for franchisees. We want to negotiate for the Kyoto agency rights so that we can be the only franchisee in Kyoto. Only by having an exclusive monopoly can we earn more. However, the franchise fee may be a considerable sum."

After thinking for a while, Manager Tan spoke again, "I have seen Manager Zhang from Yuncheng before. He is a cunning old man who never lets slip a word. He also asks for a very high price. He is not someone who is easy to deal with. If you don't spend some money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the agency rights!"

Shopkeeper Tan was worried and frowned unconsciously.

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows. Your comment...

Does Uncle Zhang know?

"Don't worry about that. I promise you're the only one with Shen's BBQ in Kyoto!!"

Shopkeeper Tan's eyes widened and he smiled happily, "Really?"
