Chapter 578
Chapter 578
In ancient times, private individuals were not allowed to run these highly profitable businesses unless authorized by the emperor. But looking at the entire Central Plains, except for the giants from the aristocratic families, no one else, not even the prince, could do it!
Now the imperial power has been granted to the Guan family, which has just experienced a great disaster. As a former court minister, Chang Shoufang is very clear about the value of this.
At this moment, I can't help but feel excited and excited.
"My Lord, it really is true that those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future!"
"With this franchise, the Guan family's business is bound to skyrocket!"
Guan Ning grinned: "Haha, now you know what I want to do?"
Chang Shoufang nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Sir, I understand. With this thing, we can do it with confidence."
"Granaries, official salt, sugar shops... the Guan family will prosper!" He sighed. After all, these resources were too scarce, and the benefits they brought were far more than just money.
Guan Ning looked at the door at this time, and Shengqi nodded at him, as if to say, there are no ears or eyes.
Only then did Guan Ning walk up to Chang Shoufang with confidence and put his arm around the old man's shoulders.
"Uncle Chang."
"With this franchise, the operation of highly profitable industries such as salt and grain is inevitable, but this is not what I want to talk about. I have a very important task that I want you to help me complete in secret!" His expression became serious.
Chang Shoufang was startled. No wonder, no wonder there was no one here when he came in.
"Prince, just say it. I know what is important and will go through fire and water for you!" He lowered his voice and said without any hesitation. Not to mention Guan Ning's kindness and trust in him, just the fact that Lou Xinyue is now the wife of the Guan family, Chang Shoufang will definitely do his best to build this relationship.
He had already considered himself a member of the Guan family, and people like Qin Yao and Butler Bai treated him like family.
"Although the imperial power has granted special permission, things like salt, grain, and even some wound medicines are circulating in the market. At least Your Majesty has a general idea of what they are."
"Maybe they'll check our account books someday."
"I want you to make two sets of account books, one real and one fake."
Hearing this, Chang Shoufang was shocked and understood immediately. His eyes were filled with horror. "My Lord, you want to..."
Guan Ning nodded implicitly and said in a deep voice, "The world is unstable today, and the people are living in poverty. Anything can happen. I need to consider a way out for everyone in the Guan family."
"I don't believe in the emperor, I only believe in myself!"
At this moment, Chang Shoufang seemed to roughly understand what it meant.
During the hundreds of years of chaos in the world, the only ones who could remain unscathed were the aristocratic families who controlled a large amount of resources, and they were even the ones who could decide the future direction.
He was in a state of unrest and his eyes were still restless. He didn't expect what Guan Ning had been thinking about. It was true that every generation has talented people!
He didn't hesitate and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
"Don't worry, Prince. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that no one will find out."
Guan Ning nodded: "Hoarding resources is not a trivial matter and cannot be sloppy. You are responsible for all the family businesses. You are an expert in account books, but you may not be able to do other things."
"I plan to have Yu Dilong bring people to assist you. If you need anything, just let me know."
Chang Shoufang nodded seriously, and suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders was heavy. If it was anyone else, he would not risk losing his head, but if it was Guan Ning, he was willing!
"it is good!"
"Then Mr. Chang, you should go back and rest first." Guan Ning said.
"Okay, I will start the new business tomorrow."
Guan Ning nodded and watched him leave.
"Come in, all of you." he shouted again.
Sheng Qi, Yu Dilong, and the nine remaining masters from the former Yipintang, who had been waiting early, entered one after another, and Lou Xinyue appeared beside Guan Ning from behind.
"Brothers, I'm back, and a new struggle has begun."
One sentence made several people's blood boil.
They all knelt on the ground and shouted, "We are willing to follow the prince until our death!"
