Chapter 31: The wealth is rolling

"I think about it." Zhao Qi put on a contemplative look, his mind kept ringing, recalling the "History of the Song Dynasty" he had not finished reading, "Oh, there are two things, one is that I will be posthumously named king in the first month of next year, and the other is that the queen will return to heaven in August!" He said as if he remembered it.

"Ah?! The prince is still alive, how could he be a chasing title?" Huang Jingchen heard too many strange facts today, and his head was big.

"The immortal master saved me and asked me to return my soul, otherwise wouldn't it be a chase?" Zhao Qiong said angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry, let's see if these things will happen next year. Wouldn't you know whether the things in the dream are true or not?" Huang Jingchen said in a little panic.

This old man is quite capable. I don’t know if his time travel will change the current history. Zhao Qiong didn’t have any confidence in his heart, but he was not worried. Anyway, he was a child and he was talking about a dream. What can he do if he changes? Didn’t he just want to change history?

"Okay, this is the only way to do it for now. Huang Bodu will have to worry about the affairs in the mansion in the future!" Zhao Qi said with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, don't go around with me!" Huang Jingchen laughed even more bitterly than Zhao Qi, stood up and bowed and said, "I have entered the palace since I was young, and I have been able to make a fortune until the head of the eunuch's deputy palace, but I was defeated by Yang Jian. If it weren't for the rescue of the imperial concubine, I wouldn't have lived until now. I had secretly made up my mind to repay this great kindness. Now that the empress has entrusted His Highness to the old slave to take care of me, I will hand over my life to the prince!" He said, kneeling down and giving a big gift.

"Uncle Huang!" Zhao Qi hurriedly helped him, but the old man was determined to kowtow. He pulled him twice but didn't pull him up. Zhao Qi simply knelt down, "Uncle Huang, you have taken great care of me since you left the palace. I see all these in my eyes and remember them in my heart. I have always regarded you as an elder, so don't do this!" He said in panic. The kneeling is extremely disgusting for a modern person.

"Prince" Huang Jingchen still kowtowed this head, saying that he was loyal and that he could never treat the prince as a child again.

Since the conversation has been opened, the master and servant had a long conversation and had a heart to each other in a friendly atmosphere, discussed the future development of the royal palace, and discussed the current problems, unified the opinions and reached a consensus. Huang Jingchen gained the absolute trust of the prince and continued to preside over the work. As long as he did his best, he would have hope for his happiness in the rest of his life. Zhao Qiping added a right-hand assistant. Huang Jingchen's experience and knowledge were incomparable to him, and he could not replace him as a modern person. Finally, a win-win situation was formed, and both the master and servant were happy.

Zhao Qi finally let go of his worries. With Huang Jingchen in front of him, he didn't have to be the first bird who was shot. He could avoid open and hidden arrows from all sides and plan his own big things. What's more beautiful is that he could continue to pretend to be stupid and be a playboy and enjoy his "happy childhood!

As the twelfth lunar month approaches, the weather is getting colder, and the vegetables in the greenhouse are already ripe. After picking the first batch of vegetables, they can reach 500 or 600 kilograms. Except for the part left in the mansion, they are all sent to the capital for sale, and there is no local area, or even a vegetable leaf is sold in the mansion.

"Grand official, it's amazing." Zheng Fu, the chief manager, shouted as soon as he entered Huang Jingchen's door.

"What a big deal, is the Yellow River breaking its mouth!" Huang Jingchen said with a frown.

"Hehe, it's a good thing for the high-ranking officials. How much does the vegetables in the greenhouse cost?" Zheng Fumei said with a slut.

"Hmph, you can tell that you have sold a lot of money, just five hundred coins!" Huang Jingchen said.

"Haha, you are too conservative. We sold 500 stags of gourds alone, and more than 500 stags of vegetables for a full 2,000 stags. At first, we sold cucumbers at a stag of five stags. Later, more and more people, we sold them for 500 stags, but they were even stolen!" Zheng Fu, the chief manager, was so happy that he couldn't hold his mouth.

"Ah?!" It would be great if 500 jin of vegetables could be sold for 500 jin in summer, but now it has increased by more than a hundred times.

"The prince is really a clever idea. He said that these dishes can be sold at least 2,000 guan in Beijing. I didn't believe it at the time. I thought it was not enough to pay back the money. I didn't expect it to be true. Those who didn't buy them all put down their deposits and rushed to ask for them!" Zheng Fu shook his head and said, "Master, I think there are still a few more vegetables in the greenhouse. If they are sold at this price, the income of the prince's greenhouse can be comparable to that of our 100-hectare land for a year!"

"Oh, the prince is not an ordinary person!" Huang Jingchen said with emotion, and he didn't have much doubt about the prince meeting an immortal at this time.

If you can grow fresh vegetables in winter, if you let the people in the court know, you will definitely treat them as auspicious. But now is not the time for widespread publicity, he has to remind Zheng Fu: "As long as you remember to follow the prince and do what the prince said, we will have a good life, but remember that these things must not be circulated outsiders. When someone asks, it is said that it was planted by the servants in the mansion by chance, and they must not let outsiders know that it was made by the prince!"

"Don't worry, the young man knows how to do it. This time I went to Beijing and followed the prince's instructions and rented a shop to sell vegetables on Maxing Street in the capital. The employed men were all from other places. They even wanted to ask where the shipment came from!" Zheng Fu said with a smile.

"Well, be careful!" Huang Jingchen nodded and said, "The next batch of goods princes are ready. You can send someone to the greenhouse to load the car immediately and set off overnight, don't delay!"

"Yes, I'll go in person. The prince is a vegetable that grows. It's a money tree. I have to keep an eye on it and don't let them ruin it!" Zheng Fu muttered and stepped back and took the people to load the car.

Zheng Fu happily brought two servants to the garden, and smelled the smell of meat from afar. When they approached, they saw that the prince was barbecuing meat in the pavilion with his servants. A whole sheep was shaking the iron rod wearing sheep. The prince kept sprinkling seasonings, and the others formed a circle and swallowed their saliva.

"Second Master, we are back, the food is sold out, let's load the second car!" Zheng Fu stepped forward and bowed.

"How much did it cost?" Zhao Qi asked without even raising his head.

"Second Master, you have made a lot of money. A truck of vegetables sold more than 2,300 guan. Our food is in short supply!" Zheng Fu said with a smile on his face, but the prince's words surprised him again.

"Damn it, I lost money for the sale. I had known that the price would have been set at a higher price. I would raise the price by 10%!" Zhao Qi said.

"Second Master, but I have already collected the deposit, so it's not easy to increase the price!" Zheng Fu said hurriedly when he heard this. After selling so much money, he said he lost money. How much does the prince want to make?

"Oh, you are an old businessman, and you are confused. Scarcity is expensive. Now it is the seller's market. Our goods are the only ones. You can only say that the goods are tight and you can't guarantee that the next batch will be available. They feel that they can't buy the price by spending no matter how much money they spend. If you collect the fixed amount, we can't raise the price. Not only will we leave them with the impression that there are more goods. You have done this!" Zhao Qi handed the seasoning jar to Zhao Xin and said.

"Second Master, what should I do?"

"What should I do? Shuangfu. You must be a person without trust. After paying the deposit, don't sell the remaining vegetable leaf. Tell others that the goods are cut off. You have to wait a few days if you want them!" Zhao Qi thought for a while and said.

"How many days will they wait?" Zheng Fu was really a real person and asked again.

"Tell them that's right, and then you'll get the price when the next batch of dishes arrives!"

"Second Master, the vegetable prices have been sold at a high price. Can anyone still want it if the price increases?"

"Stupid, can people who can eat 45 kiln per kilogram of food be ordinary people? What they want is face. The more expensive you sell, the more face the buyer will feel. No matter how high the price they are, they will buy it. You don't have to worry about this!" Zhao Qi taught him a lesson. He has seen many such suspicions in his previous life, and he has to suffer from face.

"Yes, yes, I've been taught by the young man, and it turns out that money can be made like this!" Zheng Fu was taught a lesson by the little prince. Not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he felt that he had learned another trick and felt very beautiful.

"Old Zheng, please arrange the money you earn from selling vegetables this time. During the New Year, you can make new clothes for the people in the mansion. The materials must be good!" Zhao Qi thought for a while and said, "In addition, you will add a month's salary to everyone and give some benefits to everyone have a good New Year. Each of us who grow vegetables will be given a special reward of twenty cents!"

"I will thank Er Master on behalf of everyone!" Zheng Fu bowed and said, "Second Master, what is welfare? You have to make it clear that I can arrange for someone to buy it!"

"Oh, welfare is not something, it's something." Zhao Qiong was confused by Zheng Fu. There was no word for welfare in this era. "Just buy some meat, rice and flour, and give it to everyone. Everyone is the same. As long as it is a portion of each person in the mansion, no one is allowed to leave it behind. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand, I will do it well, so that everyone can know the grace of the second master!" Zheng Fu's words came from sincerity. It was the first time he had seen the master's family during the Chinese New Year that he not only made new clothes for the servants, but also processed money to hand over the goods.

Don’t underestimate the Song Dynasty’s money. During the Daguan period, Yiguan money could buy a live pig, a stone of white rice, and a mu of low-quality land in a remote place. Twenty coins can be said to be a large amount of money. Of course, you can’t compare with Cai Jing, that’s just his few crab roe buns.

"Second Master, do you really give us money?" The servants around him surrounded him when they heard that they wanted to give them bonuses. Zhao Ren asked in disbelief. They were all sold to the mansion, just eating and dressing, without wages.

"Of course, the vegetables are the hardest to grow. Of course, you have to have a portion of them when you sell them. Are you still afraid of the money biting your hands?" Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Old Zheng, you send them the money first, so they are afraid that the second master will fool them and they will not be able to sleep at night!"
