I want to do research even if I have no money

Situ Meng's directly-operated store in the capital was not disturbed by the first prince. With the quality and strength of his own products, as well as the secret help of Jingshen's sales, he soon gained a foothold in the capital. With the introduction of the second prince, The first big order for Jingshi's directly-operated store was settled soon.

This matter was actually instructed by Concubine Jian. Concubine Jian and Concubine Chen are the masters of the central palace. Unlike Concubine Chen, Concubine Jian basically does not care about the affairs of the harem. seeking benefits.

Compared with the previous dynasties, although the Great Zhou still puts more emphasis on civil affairs than military affairs, the benefits of the military officers have improved a lot. It is no longer like in the previous dynasties, and the soldiers are not as good as the waiters in the shop.

Although the forbidden army in the capital is not under the control of Jian's family, everyone is a soldier. When she can, Concubine Jian will not treat other soldiers badly, and the benefits that should belong to them will not be less.

Since the order this time is too large, the stock in the directly-operated store is not enough at all, and there is only a small warehouse in the capital for storing the products sold in the directly-operated store, so Situ Meng had to ask someone to see him off at Chengning Villa. The factory expedited the production of orders for the imperial guards in the capital.

The manager of the directly-operated store in the capital is the manager of the Lin family who originally worked under Luo Wu. He has worked with Luo Wu since he was a teenager. His parents are both tenants in the manor, so they are very trustworthy.

Seeing his outstanding performance, Situ Meng wanted to promote him before and let him take charge of all the stores in Yangzhou Prefecture, but before the idea was implemented, the system released the task of the directly-operated store in the capital, so Situ Meng changed his mind and let him Be the manager of the directly-operated store in Beijing.

This manager has been with Luo Wu for many years, and he has a very strong Luo Wu's style in his actions. Situ Meng and Jing Shen made surprise attacks several times when they were shopping, and he did a good job.

This order from the imperial army in the capital not only brought a gratifying financial foundation to the initial stage of the directly-operated store, but also made the brand name "Huahuo Factory" fly into thousands of households. know the name.

Different from the directly-operated stores in other places, this time Situ Meng also divided the products of Jingshi’s directly-operated stores into grades and grades. There are "customized models" specially designed for people with high status (people who are stupid and rich); there are prices The "upgraded version" of the upper middle; there is also a "basic payment" for ordinary people with little savings.

This sales strategy of classifying grades fully satisfies people's vanity. For a while, there are too many orders for "customized models", and those who want to reserve later have to queue up until next year.

Even so, there are still many local tyrants scrambling to join the ranks of the queuing army in order to show their status.

When Jing Shen was with Situ Meng in Ningshan County in the past, he knew that he had many wonderful ideas, but he didn't expect that after all these years, the source of his wonderful ideas has not been exhausted, but even more admirable.

The Fifth Prince has always paid close attention to Situ Meng's every move. During the time Situ Meng stayed in Beijing, he often came to visit him to play (as a light bulb). Surprised, I admire him even more.

"Situ, why are you so powerful? How did you come up with these ideas? I have never seen any store that has such a sorting service... Also, how do you know that not only will they not reject them, but they will treat those..." customized ', yes, custom! How do you know they won't be put off by the high price of custom?"

Facing the fifth prince's starry eyes, Situ Meng only smiled indifferently, with a very superior demeanor, "This is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, and the most affluent place in the entire Dazhou. This little money is nothing to them, but it can be used from The profile shows the nobility of their identities. Everyone needs a sense of presence to determine their position, and this is just one of the means for them to show their existence."

The fifth prince thought for a while, then he was enlightened and said: "You have even thought of this level, you are so smart! Why don't you be my assistant? I used to want you to be my companion, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance. Now I I'm about to have my own palace, so you can be my assistant, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Huang." Jing Shen pushed aside the hands of the Fifth Prince holding Situ Meng without any trace, "Amon, he only wants to be a serious businessman now, and besides, he still has his own villa to take care of, so he can stay in the The time in the capital is not long, I'm afraid I won't be able to be your aide."

"Is that so?" The fifth prince was a little downcast, but quickly returned to his enthusiasm, "But it's okay, since Situ wants to be a businessman, I can also introduce some orders to you. My grandfather knows a lot of people!"

Situ Lan listened to their conversation, clenched his fists and covered them in his wide cuffs.

The fifth prince's attitude towards Situ Meng made him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. He tried his best to distract the fifth prince's attention, but the longer he spent with Situ Meng and the sixth prince, the more likely the fifth prince would go astray. Correct the trend back.

Situ Lan originally relied on nasty means to rise to the position and gain favor. If the fifth prince turns back to the good boy he was back then, then there will be nothing wrong with him.

Situ Lan was not reconciled to losing the favor of the Fifth Prince. He searched everywhere for a way to bring the Fifth Prince back, and his hard work paid off. Soon, he found a kind of incense called "Ecstasy" in the black market. powder.

This kind of medicinal powder is colorless and tasteless, and it melts when it meets water. Once you eat it, you will become addicted. It is almost impossible to quit after you become addicted.

He secretly put the medicinal powder into the fifth prince's food and drink, and sure enough, after a few times, the fifth prince couldn't do without the fragrance of the soul.The fifth prince who ate the ecstasy incense had no energy to do things every day, and was indulging in the wonderful illusion created by the ecstasy incense. Naturally, he couldn't find Situ Meng again.

Although he didn't get along with the fifth prince for a long time, Situ Meng still had a good sense of him. The fifth prince valued friendship. Treating him as her childhood sweetheart, she treats him very well, so good that even the depth of field is jealous.

The directly-operated store in the capital is gradually on track, and Situ Meng has no reason to stay. Although he is very reluctant, he still decides to leave the capital and return to his Chengning Villa.

The next day, as usual, he came to find Situ Meng to go shopping together in the early morning, and had dinner at the Ruyi Building in the evening. Situ Meng told him that he was leaving the capital to go back to the manor. He nodded, not seeming surprised, "When did you leave?"

"Just a few days."

Situ Meng waited for a while, seeing that Jing Shen really had nothing to say and did not ask him to stay in the capital, he couldn't help feeling a little angry——

Although he himself doesn't know what's worth getting angry about, and he doesn't know why he thinks that Jing Shen will definitely ask him to stay, and why he wants Jing Shen to say something to make him stay...

Jing Shen looked at him eating and drinking while being angry, a sly flash of eyes flashed in his eyes, he took a sip of tea with a smile, the teacup blocked his smile, Situ Meng didn't see it.

The two were in an awkward atmosphere—mainly because Situ Meng felt embarrassed, but the depth of field didn't feel this way—after dinner, they ran into the fifth prince and his companions who had just arrived in the corridor, Situ Meng's Cousin Situ Lan was also among them.

Situ Meng and Jing Shen retreated to the box at the same time, but the fifth prince and others did not see them.

Situ Meng stared at the back of the Fifth Prince, and felt that he was more decadent and sick than he had seen before. Not only did he look ugly, but he also gave off the feeling of a drug addict.

After the two parties separated, Situ Meng and Jing Shen walked out of the restaurant together. After thinking for a long time, Situ Meng couldn't help but ask, "How is His Highness Fifth? Have you seen him?"

Since the three of them had dinner in Ruyi Building more than a month ago, the fifth prince suddenly became "busy" and no longer followed Situ Meng like a little tail. Of course, Jing Shen applauded happily for this, but Situ Meng always felt that something was wrong.

Listening to Situ Meng's question now, Jing Shen also felt that there was something wrong with his Fifth Brother, "He hasn't come to pay my respects to my concubine mother recently, and when I went to Tai'an Palace to pay my respects to Concubine Chen Gui, I didn't meet Brother Fifth... ..."

"Does any of you know the whereabouts of Brother Wuhuang recently? Do you know what he is doing recently?" Jing Shen asked the guard beside him.

Hearing the words, Situ Meng only felt black lines all over his head, and said to himself, how do you know the whereabouts of the Fifth Prince?I'm afraid he also put eyeliner around him?Is it okay to say it so generously in the market?

Jing Shen seemed to have heard what he was muttering in his heart, and explained to him: "The 'eyeliner' beside Brother Wuhuang was not secretly placed by us, but at the behest of Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen also felt that Brother Wuhuang had been behaving strangely lately. But I couldn't find anything when asked face to face, so I discussed it with my concubine mother and asked my concubine mother to send someone to supervise Brother Wuhuang."

Gong Juren: "The Fifth Highness rarely leaves Tai'an Palace these days. Everything is entrusted to Situ Lan as an agent. His Fifth Highness will summon Situ Lan every day, but his subordinates don't know what they are doing in the house. Concubine Chen If we were not given the right to go into Tai'an Palace to monitor, we would not be able to go in either."

In fact, if they really want to go in, Chen Guifei can't stop them, but since their mother didn't ask, they don't have to do so many other things.

Situ Meng asked: "Did you see that Situ Lan went in alone? Did he have anything in his hands, and what was his expression like?"

"On the surface, I didn't see him bring anything in. Every time, he was empty-handed. It seems that His Highness only summoned him, and the other companions were not allowed to enter the palace... As for Situ Lan's expression..." Gong Juren recalled Every time I saw Situ Lan's appearance before, "It seems a little flustered? His hands have been tucked into his sleeves, and the weather is not too cold today. What important things should he hide in his sleeve pockets?"

"Is it like this every time?" Jing Shen asked, "Did you tell Concubine Chen about this?"

"Speaking of which, the imperial concubine said she would send someone to investigate, but it seems that nothing was found... By the way! We heard the maid who served the Fifth Highness gossip, saying that his complexion has become more and more ugly recently, and occasionally looks like a lunatic. In general, speak to the air."

Situ Meng took a step back, and the various scenes of meeting the fifth prince today flashed before his eyes. Combined with what Gong Juren said, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"No, before I leave the capital, I must meet with His Highness the Fifth Highness alone!" Situ Meng tugged on Jingshen's sleeve, "You have to help me!"

"Why is that? What happened to Brother Fifth Emperor?"

Situ Meng shook his head, "We can't decide yet, we have to meet and discuss."

Depth of Field: "Alright then, I'll ask him out sometime."
