The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

King Qin said: "Continue."

Jia Huan glanced at King Qin, then at Lin Ruhai, and said cautiously: "However, there is only one thing to explain first, the prince also needs to cooperate in doing something, but I don't know if the prince is willing or not?"

Before King Qin could speak, Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "Huan'er, you should help me go back to drink the medicine. Your Highness has worked hard all day, and even if you think about it, you're tired. This,..."

Jia Huan raised his eyes suspiciously, but saw Lin Ruhai winking like killing a chicken and wiping his neck, meaning: what he said is getting more and more embarrassing, what do you need the prince to cooperate with, even if you dare to love him, King Qin still wants to listen to you Grassman's dispatch!Hurry up, stop talking nonsense here, is it true that the prince is a vegetarian?Don't look at being kind at the moment, if you say something that makes him unhappy, you will be in bad luck, and I won't be able to protect you then.

The King of Qin said displeasedly: "Let him talk, why does Master Lin always interrupt? This king just sounds a little interested, but one of you keeps talking without saying anything, and the other deliberately interrupts my appetite."

Lin Ruhai had no choice but to apologize and said: "Your Highness, forgive me. I didn't mean to interrupt on purpose. I was really afraid that my nephew was young and ignorant, and his words were unscrupulous, so that he would offend His Highness."

Qin Wangdao: "Okay, don't be left with 'fear' and right with 'forgiveness', I just listen to his ideas, okay, I have my own opinion, what is there to be blasphemy? He is a child anyway, Even if he said something unpleasant, it’s fine if I heard it. In short, no matter what he said, this king will not blame him, so you can rest assured now.”

Lin Ruhai was helpless: This kid is too capable of causing trouble, I should have known that I shouldn't have asked him to accompany me.

Here Jia Huan heard King Qin's words "he is a child anyway", and his heart was filled with thousands of grass and mud horses: At first he called me "Huan'er" in an elder's tone, but now he said that I was just a child, dare not love him People don't regard me as my peers at all, hey, obviously he is only six years older than me, why don't you be so old-fashioned in front of me, deliberately widening the age gap!I don't have any thoughts about you, I don't have any thoughts about you, I just want to see the richest and handsomest man in this dynasty up close, especially he is very warm to me under the name of a big iceberg, of course, Except for the first time, it is very fulfilling to call Xiaoye ah!

Although Jia Huan was very upset, but thinking that now is not the time to be entangled with this, but to convince King Qin, to prove that he is not talking big, and there is still a very important point to prove: Well, even if he is right, this Xiao Master seems to be a little younger, but my thinking is very gray and mature, and the ideas I come up with are all first-class and reliable, hehe, let him know how good I am right away!

Jia Huan returned Lin Ruhai's comforting look, and deliberately puffed out his small chest, as if he was confident.

The King of Qin watched the silent communication between Jia Huan and Lin Ruhai with great interest, and thought to himself that he thought this kid was different from ordinary people, and he was indeed an interesting little guy, so he urged Jia Huan to say: "Say it quickly, If your idea is a little bit feasible, this king will reward you heavily."

Without Lin Ruhai's restraint, and with the encouragement of the King of Qin, Jia Huan turned his back on customers and seduced them carefully: "What does the lord think of businessmen?"

The King of Qin curled his lips slightly, and said disdainfully: "Most merchants are profit-seeking people. They don't do production, but they get something for nothing. They are full of copper stink. They only know that they are greedy for profit. Therefore, among the four classes of citizens, scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are the most lowly."

Jia Huan asked again: "Then, is it true that the prince always detours when he sees businessmen and never has any contact with them? He won't even have a feast with them?"

King Qin glanced at him in surprise, and said: "That's natural, what is this king's identity, how can a lowly businessman have the right to have a feast with this king?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "The grassroots think that what the prince said is absurd."

Cough, Lin Ruhai's wide-eyed eyes and King Qin's slightly annoyed expression are automatically ignored here, and Jia Huan then continued to talk endlessly: "Think about it, a businessman, to put it bluntly, is a businessman. What is a businessman? It's a low-level person." A person who buys goods at a high price and then sells them at a high price, and collects the difference as a profit. In this way, it is true that merchants buy low and sell high in order to seek profit, but they are not reaping for nothing. Think again, my lord. To make money, you first need to spend capital, and then you have to take risks. In addition, the shops, sales, and brokers in the middle all need to spend your feet, tongue, and brains. This is the same as the labor of farmers farming. Finally, you have to sell Only by gaining the price difference can the merchant make money. If the merchant misses the point and buys a product with a high quality difference or an unpopular product, it is tantamount to throwing it into his hands. The cost, freight, renting the shop and the cost of hiring a clerk will be spent. The salary is tantamount to throwing it into the water. Therefore, a businessman still has to take risks and consume his brain power if he seeks profit from capital. Besides, if a businessman does not steal or rob, even if he can make money, it is also because of his brain skills , not everyone can do it, and besides, the business is about what you like and what you want, so what's wrong?"

King Qin frowned and thought carefully, wanting to refute Jia Huan, but felt that Jia Huan's words were intertwined and seemingly flawless, so he couldn't find words to refute.

Jia Huan took advantage of the situation and said: "Unfortunately, people all over the world, including powerful people like you, King Qin, despise businessmen so much. Therefore, although businessmen are rich, they are always looked down upon by others. So what if they are rich? Don’t even dare to wear a decent piece of clothes casually, in fact, we lived very aggrieved in the Great Jin Dynasty.”

King Qin frowned and said, "Okay, you're right, but what does this have to do with my raising money and food for disaster relief?"

Jia Huan said: "This...is very relevant! Think about it, my lord. A businessman has money, but he can only travel around in his own clothes, but human nature is to show off and gain the approval of others. If you are a little lord, you Given such an opportunity, those businessmen will definitely not be stingy with money. In this way, wouldn’t it mean that everyone gets what they need? The businessman satisfies his vanity through the prince, and the prince can raise money and food, and solve the current situation. It’s urgent, and it doesn’t disturb the local people’s livelihood, so my uncle and other Yangzhou officials are relieved, so everyone is happy.”

Now, not only King Qin's eyes lit up, but even Lin Ruhai became interested, and said again and again: "It sounds interesting, so what is the specific strategy?"

Qin Wang also said: "Yes, you said before that you need me to do something to cooperate with you. What is it? Tell me quickly."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "It's nothing special, it's just that the prince will accompany them to have a meal, but this meal requires each merchant to pay 1000 taels of silver."

Lin Ruhai's jaw was about to close, and he said in surprise, "Are you talking nonsense? Just ask someone to give you 1000 taels of silver for a meal? You know, now you are eating dozens of dishes for a meal in the best restaurant in Yangzhou." The noodles of the dishes cost five taels of silver at most, but they can be eaten by a dozen people. Your idea is too whimsical!"

King Qin also raised his eyebrows at Jia Huan, expressing that he agrees with Lin Ruhai's words, let's see how Jia Huan responds.

Jia Huan raised his hand, brushed the hair in front of his forehead slightly, then, puffed out his small chest, and said loudly: "Can a meal in those restaurants be compared to being invited by the King of Qin? Uncle, you are too underestimating us Is His Royal Highness King Qin's prestige?"

Then, Jia Huan's voice lowered again, slowly but full of temptation: "Uncle, if you are a salt merchant, you are obviously rich, but you are disheveled outside, let alone a poor scholar." Yes, you are a farmer, and your status is higher than yours. You are so aggrieved. At this moment, His Highness Qin Wang, who is the attention of everyone in this dynasty, is willing to have dinner with you. To Your Highness, and the submissive Yangzhou local officials around His Highness, who used to be so arrogant, but now they want to pour wine for you under His Highness's order, and want to drink with you, then, are you willing to spend Is it just 1000 taels of silver to win this opportunity to be proud? You must know that the opportunity is not to be missed. Apart from the Holy One and His Royal Highness, the most noble people in our Jin Dynasty are His Highness King Qin, and the Holy One and His Highness will hardly leave the Forbidden City Yes, as for His Highness King Qin, there are many opportunities to deal with every day. The chance to go to our Yangzhou land may only be like this once in ten years. Also, His Highness King Qin has the appearance of a fairy. Your Highness, I'd rather be the fire-burning servant girl of Duke Qin's mansion than be Miss Da..."

Lin Ruhai was fascinated when he heard it, and said: "Yes, to put it this way, 1000 taels of silver is really not expensive...

Qin Wang's iceberg face was completely cracked, and there was a suspicious blush: flattery every year, every day, today is different.This witty and eccentric little guy is the only one who can flatter so well and combine it with practicality!

Seeing Lin Ruhai and King Qin's expressions, Jia Huan's already teasing smile widened, and he said, "Of course, if it's just a meal and there's nothing after it, it doesn't prove that someone spent 1000 taels of silver and King Qin has eaten such a meal, so the meal is a bit expensive. We need to add some gimmicks in it. For example, Your Highness King Qin, your calligraphy should be very good, right? Give each merchant a copy Keep it as a souvenir, so that they can show it to others from time to time. In this way, if this meal is worth 1000 taels, this autograph post will occupy 500 taels of it.”

Jia Huan felt that this idea sounded unreliable at first, but in fact, it is nothing in modern times.Female celebrities have clearly marked prices when they dine with the rich. And what about Bill Gates and the President of the United States, don’t they always have such dinners, and each person costs [-] US dollars or something?If it is expensive, it is indeed expensive, but it is worth it. By eating such an unusual meal, you can improve your own level, make friends with other rich people and officials, and continue to earn money and expand your scope in the future. Money provides the possibility, and you can continue to take group photos to show off to your sons and grandchildren, relatives, friends, business partners, and even people you just met: "I think I was lucky enough to have dinner and shake hands with so-and-so back then." Those who have done it, so and so kindly said to me..."
