If you are really relying on the favor of the Heavenly Family, you have rashly intervened in the salt, iron, tea and horse business.
Shen Lie couldn't help but gasped, as if he saw the ferocious faces of the Qi Chu Zhe Party and the Dong Lin Party, both in the government and in the public.
He would never do such a stupid thing.
I really need to move these.
I'm afraid that Shen's fate will be worse than Wang Zhen's!
But these words made Zhu Yijun a little confused, and he looked over steadily.
Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked: "Then what did you do when you saw the two tea merchants doing this so early in the morning?"
Faced with their doubts.
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said in a conspiratorial manner: "Of course it's not for nothing. I invited these two people to drink tea because I wanted to bring them together to discuss a business deal."
"oh?"
all of a sudden.
The emperor became interested and urged: "Tell me something."
So the three of them sat down again, each picked up a piece of iced watermelon, and chatted animatedly while eating.
While eating watermelon, Shen Lie said: "I brokered this business, so naturally I have other ideas. Your Majesty, what do you think... how to transport tea from Yangzhou to Shanxi?"
Zhu Yijun also swallowed a mouthful of watermelon, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Is there a trade route from Yangzhou to Shanxi? One is by land, and the other is by canal. It is much more convenient to take the canal."
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Hey, that's right, take the canal."
The route we take is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is the legendary water transport and is also the most convenient route for trade between the north and the south in the world.
Water transportation is much more convenient than land trade.
Put down the watermelon rind.
Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "Why do you worry about this?"
Shen Lie smiled and said: "The business that this villain wants to do is related to water transportation."
Speaking of which.
Zhu Yijun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Shen Lie with scorching eyes, as if he understood something, but also as if he didn't understand anything.
Then he urged: "Go on."
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, merchants in the world usually use water transportation, probably from Yangzhou to Nantongzhou. When unloading goods, they must first find a warehouse, and then Find coolies, carriages, escorts, and then work hard to transport them to Shanxi or outside the customs..."
Said.
Shen Lie made an estimate and said quietly: "If everything goes smoothly, we can make a round trip in about half a year."
Zhu Yijun nodded again, still very puzzled.
Shen Lie then said slowly: "There are many horse bandits in Shanxi, and there are even more mountain bandits outside the pass. If the caravan encounters robbers on the road, it will be a disaster."
Zhu Yijun and Zhang Jingxiu looked at him blankly, their faces still a little confused, as if they were talking.
Isn't this nonsense?
Then what.
What does this have to do with the business we want to do?
At this time, Shen Lie's expression calmed down and he whispered to the two of them: "Your Majesty, I have an immature idea. If this business of matchmaking, escorting, and transportation is done by our Dongchang..."
Halfway through his words, Shen Lie deliberately made a long note.
The room became quiet.
Zhu Yijun was stunned, and soon he suddenly realized, and shouted softly: "I understand, what you mean is that you will match up the buyers and sellers, and after the business is negotiated, Dongchang will be responsible for picking up, warehousing and escorting. Then...can you collect a commission from it?"
Shen Lie hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, this business is called... warehousing and logistics."
Then the room fell silent again.
Zhu Yijun and Zhang Jingxiu looked at Shen Lie in surprise. They felt that their minds were a little hard to turn around, so they lowered their heads and began to meditate hard.
The two began to ponder the meaning of the four words warehousing and logistics.
and the huge business opportunities contained therein.
Shen Lie remained silent.
After another moment.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to have figured it out, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Lie, his astonished eyes as if looking at a monster.
Shen Lie felt a little numb when he looked at him.
Just when I was feeling a little cramped.
Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly laughed excitedly, "Haha!"
This laughter was too sudden and too magical.
Shen Lie trembled in fright, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, could this man not be so startled?
But Zhu Yijun ignored him and stood up suddenly, stepped forward again, stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Lie's arm, as if he was holding a big treasure.
At this moment, the emperor's slightly youthful, chubby face with sparse stubble was so elated at this moment that his behavior was a little confused due to being too excited.
He also stretched out his fist and punched Shen Lie in the heart several times.
He praised continuously.
"Wonderful!"
What a genius idea!
Zhu Yijun smiled widely and looked at Shen Lie up and down. He was so shocked by this genius' creativity that he felt a little sad in his heart.
"Hey, Shen Lie...you are really good!"
The emperor was almost at a loss for words.
He witnessed with his own eyes that various business experiences at Shen Lie's place were transformed like magic, each one more exciting than the other.
Is it possible?
Everyone is really Shen Wansan resurrected and Guan Zhong is possessed?
Shen Lie was shaken by the hammer a few times, pretending to be in unbearable pain, and laughed: "Your Majesty... you have such great strength."
The two of them sang together.
Zhang Jingxiu looked on beside him infatuatedly. She also felt that this idea was really wonderful, but her bright eyes were fixed on the seemingly loyal face of her sweetheart, her black and white eyes shining brightly.
After some fun.
Zhu Yijun waved his hands excitedly and said with a smile: "It's a very important matter, this matter... we have to take care of it."
Shen Lie didn't take any credit, so he smiled and said, "Yes."
One person is short-term, two people are long-term.
As if inspired by Shen Lie's genius idea, the emperor began to help Shen Lie make plans to figure out how to do this warehousing and logistics business.
The emperor rolled up his sleeves and said happily: "This matter is not difficult to handle. It is just a matter of buying a few warehouses in Tongzhou and letting the people from Dongchang take care of it."
even.
He has already begun to think about taking the opportunity to extend Dongchang's power to water transportation.
Shen Lie took the opportunity and said softly: "Your Majesty's Holy Order, but... if you want this matter to go smoothly, you have to add the royal guards."
This is worth savoring carefully.
Finished speaking.
Zhu Yijun's expression seemed a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he quickly responded happily: "Yes, you can do it."
aside.
Zhang Jingxiu's heart trembled, and her bright eyes immediately became misty.
She knew that Shen Lie did this for her and the Zhang family, and she couldn't help but feel the nostalgia rippling in those black and white eyes.
Looking at the excited emperor, Shen Lie said again: "Dongchang, Jinyiwei's manpower is still a little short, we... can still use the imperial court's inn."
This is Shen Lie's overall plan.
With Jinyiwei and Dongchang's health offices in various places as the leading players, plus the inn system of Jiuyou in the Ming Dynasty, it should not be difficult to start a warehousing and logistics business.
When talking about the inn, Shen Lie thought of Li Zicheng for some reason. Before Li Zicheng rebelled, wasn't he a postman at the inn?
