Chapter 209: Shortage of People
Soon Shi Bin handed Ye Jintang the list of people he could use.
There are more than 40 people in total, and each of them is a tough guy who has been on the battlefield.
With so many people, they can be divided into at least four groups to do business. After one round, it will be no problem for a team to earn a thousand taels of silver.
Now that he had the person, Ye Jintang began to think about medicinal herbs and rouge and powder.
Bencaotang was the only business in the capital city of the Qin Palace that made money openly, while rouge and powder belonged to Ye Jintang's private property.
But when it came to business, Ye Jintang was put together with them, and the people sent by Shi Bin to do business also took work from both sides.
The medicine from Bencaotang is already well-known and very mature.
Ye Jintang immediately arranged for Shi Bin's men to deliver goods to cities closer to the capital. Such short-distance trips usually took 7 or 8 days.
"Alas, I took the goods to Quyang Prefecture, but I can only return to the capital empty-handed. It's really a loss."
"If I can have a shop in Quyang Prefecture, maybe I can bring goods back to the capital from Quyang Prefecture, so I don't have to go back empty-handed when I go out for business."
Looking at the schedule on the table, Ye Jintang felt helpless.
Opening a shop in other cities would also require manpower, and what she lacks most now is available people.
The people she asked for from Xiao Mo have just started training. She wants to train her own people, but it won't be done in a short time. She can only do it step by step.
"Oh, it would be great if I had stores all over the country."
"That's a good idea."
When Xiao Mo lifted the curtain and entered the room, he heard Ye Jintang sighing.
"It's a good idea, but it's not easy to set up my own stores all over the country."
Even if Ye Jintang has thousands of abilities, she only has one brain and two hands, and her understanding of the Tianqin Kingdom is pitifully little.
Now all the information comes from books. As for what the Tianqin Kingdom is actually like, to be honest, Ye Jintang really doesn’t know.
She suddenly understood the meaning of "reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles".
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Ye Jintang's mind. Could she look around and build her own business empire with her own hands?
Ye Jintang was extremely excited and told Xiao Mo about this idea.
"It's not impossible, but now Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is watching us all day long. If the two of us leave together, even if we disguise ourselves, we will be easily discovered."
"What I mean is that I will go alone, and the prince will stay in the palace to attract the attention of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo very seriously, and saw that Xiao Mo's face turned visibly darker.
"No, I can't rest assured that you, a woman, will run around everywhere."
Without any thought, Xiao Mo directly rejected Ye Jintang.
"What should we do? The money is right in front of us. Do you want to take it or not?"
Xiao Mo naturally knew how profitable the medicine bags made by Bencaotang were.
Not long after that, Bencaotang sent him a total of 30 taels of silver. It would be strange if Xiao Mo was not tempted by such a lucrative deal.
He knew better than anyone how important money was to him. The amount of silver might even affect whether he could sit on the throne in the future.
But if Ye Jintang were to go out and earn the money alone, to be honest, he didn't want to do it.
The throne is important, but compared with Ye Jintang's safety, he will choose Ye Jintang without hesitation.
The throne is a dead thing, but Ye Jintang is a living person. If anything happens to her, no matter how much he regrets, it will be of no use.
Xiao Mo was silent for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Jintang, I have a compromise."
"What method?"
"We are traveling all the way from the capital to Ningchuan Prefecture, almost crossing half of Tianqin Country. We can go a little slower at that time, and we can open a shop in any big city we pass by."
Ye Jintang nodded slightly and felt that this idea was very good, but at the same time there were many problems involved.
"We were already in a hurry on the way to Ningchuan Prefecture. We can only rest in a city for two days at most. I'm afraid it would be too late to open a store in such a short time."
"wait for me a while."
Xiao Mo asked Jiang Heng to go to his study and get the map.
It was a hand-drawn map of the Tianqin Kingdom. The map was very detailed, and even some smaller cities were recorded in detail.
"Jintang, look, we'll go west along the old Silk Road and pass through more than twenty cities, big and small."
Xiao Mo pointed out to Ye Jintang the cities they needed to pass through one by one.
"I can send people to these cities right now and ask them to make arrangements in advance. Then, every time we arrive at a city, we can learn everything about it as quickly as possible, which will also make it easier for us to make decisions. This way, we can save a lot of time."
"That would be great, but Your Majesty, do you have so many people? I heard from Shi Bin that none of the business managers you have are good enough."
Ye Jintang didn't bother to be polite with Xiao Mo and directly asked about the doubts in his heart.
If you send some incompetent people, it would just be a waste of time.
Xiao Mo smiled bitterly, "Although I don't have many powerful managers, I can always find five or six."
It is almost impossible for just a few people to travel through more than twenty cities in a short period of time.
"Your Majesty."
Ye Jintang was a little conflicted and the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.
She and Xiao Mo are in a cooperative relationship now, and the word "trust" is still a little thin, and she is not sure about Xiao Mo's thoughts.
She also knew very well that at this moment she treated Xiao Mo as a partner, but Xiao Mo was thinking about how to get her body and heart all day long.
Mixing business with emotions can be somewhat troublesome.
"Jintang, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are husband and wife and a family. There is nothing that cannot be said directly."
"No, Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I bought this princess for five hundred thousand taels?"
Xiao Mo nodded reluctantly, indicating that he had not forgotten.
"Even so, you can trust me completely."
Ye Jintang was silent for a while. After thinking it over, she realized that she could only trust Xiao Mo at this time. She was alone and weak now. If she wanted to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible, she could only trust Xiao Mo.
"Does the prince know the Wen family of Xingnan?"
"Of course, that's Jintang's grandparents' home, so I naturally remember it."
"The Xingnan Wen family has been doing business for hundreds of years, and there are many people in the family who are good at business. If you don't mind, I can borrow a few managers who are good at business from the Wen family."
"Of course you can. You have the final say on all profitable businesses in the palace. I have no objection."
After hearing Xiao Mo say this, Ye Jintang thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case.
Xiao Mo is a hands-off boss who doesn't care about anything. If that's the case, then he might as well continue to be a hands-off boss.
"I will make the decision on the selection of candidates alone. If you have any good candidates, please tell me and I will make the arrangements together."
"With so many cities, a lot of people will be needed. Let's settle accounts clearly. All the money will be paid from Bencaotang's account."
Ye Jintang implied that she would be lucky if she could pay half of the 20 taels of silver she owed Xiao Mo. With so many managers going to more than cities, the money would probably be spent like water.
"Of course, I can't keep earning money for my wife."
Faced with Xiao Mo's flowery words, Ye Jintang simply chose to ignore them.
