Chapter 1424 Merchants Association
After returning to the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites has already sent over the materials and lists brought by the prairie people.
Now these are handed over to Master Hou of the Household Department. As for the cows, they are considered gifts from the grassland and do not need to be exchanged.
"My lord, when the transfer of things is clear, we will leave first."
Looking at these things, which are basically edible, Master Hou frowned and began to think about what to do next.
"Master Hou, congratulations, this is an errand that Master Shangshu can easily ask for you."
"This is done, but it directly fell into the eyes of the emperor."
"Haha, this is more than that. This is a business that goes out of the city side by side with the palace. If Mr. Hou manages it well, he can still enter the palace's eyes!"
The two adults discussed that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, apart from the emperor, the most powerful forces were side by side with the palace.
This is in the eyes of these two families. Doesn't that mean that Mr. Hou will be able to rise to the sky in the future?
Listening to what his colleagues said, Mr. Hou had an idea.
Shouldering to the Palace will facilitate this matter, it must be because, among these things, there will be something that the Palace wants.
He can start from this aspect. If the son is too high up to look for it, he can look for Lord Xianyou.
I heard that Mr. Xianyouxiang is a gentle child!
The most important thing is that she likes cooking, she knows how to handle this pile of ingredients, and she must know how to do it.
So Master Hou directly sent his post to Fang Xiaoxi.
Fang Xiaoxi was a little surprised when she received the post that Lord Hou came to visit her, but she also felt that it was expected.
Ask someone to invite him in: "Master Hou, please sit down, I don't know why Master Hou wants me?"
Master Hou is a little embarrassed, but the task still needs to be done.
A little embarrassed to say: "Well, I just want to ask, is the relationship between Xiang Jun and the people in the grassland good?"
"The lower official is really not sure how to exchange these things."
Having said this, Fang Xiaoxi knew what was going on.
"Well, you think it's all about food, so it's not easy to solve, right? Also, your household department doesn't care about food."
Speaking of the exchange of this kind of thing, it should be done by the officials in charge of agriculture under the Ministry of Industry.
"You don't know how to exchange it, but I can help you think of an idea and hold a business promotion meeting."
"Those merchants know the value best, let them exchange it. You can buy it with silver taels."
"You can also use what the prairie people need to pay back. They won't let themselves suffer."
"If the grassland people's request is not met by then, ask the emperor to provide some food, and a little reward will make them grateful."
"And remember, it was the emperor who saw them as pity and rewarded them, and there will be no more in the future."
"Whatever you need, you can exchange it for something of equal value. This is called trade."
Master Hou looked at Fang Xiaoxi in surprise after hearing this: "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Xiang, I know what to do now."
When she was about to leave, she saw Nan Nan walking in from the outside.
The main reason is that as soon as he came back, he heard a servant report that a foreigner came to see Fang Xiaoxi, and Fang Xiaoxi also met.
So I was curious and came over to have a look: "Junior Sister, who is this?"
The corners of Fang Xiaoxi's mouth rose slightly, a little amused: "This is Mr. Hou, who is in charge of trade now!"
Nan Nan frowned: "Why did you come to you for such a thing?"
After taking a look at Mr. Hou, he looked okay, but he didn't like it a little.
Mr. Hou was taken aback, it's over, the son of the world wouldn't think that his ability is not good enough, right?
Nan Nan glanced at Mr. Hou, and found that his behavior was quite normal. It seemed that he really came to ask for advice on this matter.
Fang Xiaoxi was a little amused: "Maybe it's because he was brought by us. I have already suggested to him how to deal with it."
"It's up to him!"
This remark gave him enough face, Lord Hou glanced at Fang Xiaoxi gratefully.
Nan Nan just nodded: "Then you still don't leave. If there is anything going on in the future, if you don't understand, come and ask me, do you know?"
Forehead! Mr. Hou was stunned by these words, and he nodded quickly: "I understand, I will resign."
Shi Ziye looks pretty good, and let me go to him if I have something to do! Lord Hou left happily.
Nan Nan sat beside Fang Xiaoxi: "What advice did you give him?"
Fang Xiaoxi said with a smile: "It's quite simple, let him hold a business promotion meeting."
"Interested merchants are invited to come and exchange it themselves, and let the people from our restaurant also go and exchange all the mushrooms."
As for the beef jerky, she doesn't like it very much, but she has a soft spot for the mushrooms.
Strictly speaking, these things are made by Fang Xiaoxi!
It's true that there are things she likes, and there are horn combs and so on, all of which are pretty good.
Nan Nan hummed: "We'll go too when the time comes, I guess a lot of people will go to watch the excitement that day!"
After Master Hou had an idea, he acted very quickly, but in just three days, he had already organized the Merchants Fair.
He also invited all famous merchants in Kyoto, and invited many chefs.
It is to make all the things in the grassland ready to attract everyone to exchange by themselves.
Of course, Nannan also received an invitation letter. Call Shangfang Xiaoxi, and the two of them are going to go shopping.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the China Merchants Association, I found that it was very lively inside, and many people had already come.
Fang Xiaoxi and the two walked in, and Cao Suixin quickly came over.
"Senior sister, senior brother, as soon as I came back, I heard that there was excitement here, and I guessed that you were here."
"Sure enough, I guessed it right. Have you seen the master? And Senior Sister Beibei, how are you?"
Fang Xiaoxi was also happy to see Cao Suixin, and touched Cao Suixin's face: "Everything is fine."
"It's you, how happy are you playing outside these days?"
Some time ago, Cao Suixin heard that a tourist town popped up near Kyoto, which was quite interesting, so he went there for a few days.
I just came back now, and when I saw Fang Xiaoxi, she started asking questions. Naturally, Fang Xiaoxi also cared.
The two walked away while talking, leaving Nan Nan behind, leaving Nan Nan speechless for an instant.
He just wanted to hang out with Xiao Xi, what was Cao Suixin doing at this time?
Walking a little way ahead, I saw that the prince had also appeared.
Walking towards Nan Nan, he smiled and said, "Brother, you come to visit too."
Nan Nan was a little surprised: "Why are you here? It's rare. You are also interested in this thing."
The prince glanced at Cao Suixin, smiled and said, "Well, come and have a look and learn."
Nan Nan laughed, this man really worked hard, and patted the prince on the shoulder: "Very good."
The two walked together logically, and met some familiar girls on the way, wanting to come over to say hello.
He looked a little scared again, but finally held back and didn't come over to say hello.
Fang Xiaoxi has been looking for mushroom stalls since she came in, and Grassland brought a lot of things this time.
There are mushrooms, beef jerky, milk powder, horn combs, and some candies made of grassland-specific medicinal materials.
Cao Suixin was dazzled: "I didn't expect that there are so many things in the grassland, and I really want to play."
Fang Xiaoxi patted the top of Cao Suixin's head, Cao Suixin was afraid that he would not be able to go to the grassland, and he would not even be able to leave the capital.
"Well, maybe there is a chance to go there in the future! Let's go, I'll take you to buy mushrooms, and I'll cook something delicious for you when I get home."
Cao Suixin nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Coming to the mushroom side soon, Fang Xiaoxi naturally exchanged it with hot sauce.
Before coming here, she had already thought about it. There was still a shortage of hot sauce on the grassland, so she could use hot sauce instead.
You should know that hot sauce can be preserved for a long time, and it can be taken to the grassland. It is also the seasoning that grassland people need.
"Hello, I'm going to exchange a batch of hot sauce for these mushrooms. For mushrooms, leave all these mushrooms to me."
These mushrooms are unique to grasslands, and they will not grow at all in other places.
The main reason is that the taste is particularly good, so Fang Xiaoxi decided to take it down and talk about it first.
She also collected a batch from the grassland and brought them back, but who would dislike too much delicious food!
Everyone is watching, only some businessmen are carefully choosing what they need.
This beef jerky is meat, and it is quite expensive. So so far, no one has bought it.
"Can you try this beef jerky?"
A smart person thinks, go up and try a bite, it's meat after all.
The prairie people who set up the stalls didn't know that these people wanted to take advantage of it, so they agreed.
"Okay, I'll give you one."
He directly put a piece of beef jerky into the man's hand, and after the man tasted it, his eyes lit up immediately.
When this thing is fine, it's delicious to eat one or two sticks, and it's fine when you're listening to or watching a play.
I didn't want to buy it at first, but the smell is really attractive.
"Give me some, how did you sell it?"
The price here is calculated according to Da Zhou's price. Before Fang Xiaoxi came here, she had mentioned the price issue.
"Here, eighty cents and one tael."
Those who were about to buy were dumbfounded. Good guy, eighty yuan and one tael, who can afford this.
But the taste is really good, so I hesitated.
If you buy it back, one or two and one small plate, and one plate is one hundred cents, the nobles should like it.
While hesitating, Fang Xiaoxi had already walked towards this side: "This beef jerky, give me twenty catties."
It weighs twenty catties, and it seems that he is very supportive.
Everyone knows that Wangfu Xianyou Xiangjun's cooking skills are quite good, and even Xiangjun likes beef jerky.
It must be delicious.
Fang Xiaoxi didn't even think that because she bought beef jerky, the people behind would line up and start buying.
Cao Suixin said in surprise, "Oh, Senior Sister, you see that they all follow you to buy."
"They will buy whatever you buy. Fortunately, you moved quickly. You have already bought a lot of mushrooms just now."
