Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 386
The royal family who traveled across the ocean and traveled overseas brought officials and guards back. The boxes of things, as well as the strange-looking rare animals, made the people who saw them couldn't help but smash their tongues. The people wanted to see the rare animals in advance. They have heard about the appearance of the beasts. These rare beasts will be kept in a mountain. After the mountain is repaired, they will be open to the common people. Of course, it is not free, and you need to pay to see it.
If it was put a few years ago, if ordinary people knew that they had to pay to see strange animals, they would never be willing to pay.It's different now, people have big pockets, if they are interested, they don't care about such a small amount of money.
When they learned that a large number of rare animals would be brought back, the first thought of some generals was whether they could eat them. After learning about the generals’ thoughts, the rare civil servants agreed very much. Precious beasts also cost a lot of money, except for house repairs, labor costs, and even feeding, there will be no shortage of money.To raise them is to throw money into a pit, and it will never be filled.The civil servants kept talking about money, which made the emperor very dissatisfied, and he naturally didn't look good at the general who proposed to eat.
Hearing such a story at home, Wang Xiujin laughed so hard that his stomach ached. Although he didn’t know what the rare beasts brought back were, he had to sigh that the ancestor was worthy of being an ancestor. As the ancestor of a big foodie country, he was a perfect example. The essence of foodie.Wang Xiujin laughed too happily, but he forgot that after great joy, there might be great sorrow.A few days later, Wang Xiujin suddenly received a decree for him to go to court.
Woke up in the middle of the night and went to the palace with Li Sushan to attend the court meeting. In the carriage, Wang Xiujin complained that the emperor had clearly said that he was not required to go to court, so why did he drag him to the court meeting now that he had nothing to do.While listening to Wang Xiujin's complaint, Li Sushan poured a cup of strong tea to refresh Wang Xiujin, lest Wang Xiujin doze off during the court meeting.
The figure of Wang Xiujin appeared at the court meeting, and immediately made the faces of the civil servants change again and again. They felt that every time they saw the emperor merchant at the court meeting, they would feel that they were very useless, and they wished to cut the emperor alive so that they could stand upright. To be more straightforward, how can a scholar like a proud bamboo bear a businessman who is better than them? Absolutely can't bear it, but Wang Xiujin is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. It can be said that it is the emperor's money bag that can move and breathe. If they wanted to get rid of the emperor, they had to be prepared to die first, and their death would not be a virtuous minister who offered good words to the emperor, but a rebellious minister.The civil servants kept scolding the emperor's merchants as disasters in their hearts, but the disasters still got the emperor's attention. Whatever the emperor thought was right, he had to get rid of him, and remonstrance was not enough, so...
Standing in the court hall, Wang Xiujin felt a gust of cold wind blowing. He went to court in the middle of the night, and the room was not warm enough. The emperor tortured himself!Whoever stipulated the time for going to court is too inhumane.I suppressed the urge to yawn, but my sleepiness became stronger. Drinking several cups of strong tea in the carriage didn't help at all.
The emperor didn't keep the ministers waiting for too long. With the sound of singing and shouting together, the figure of the emperor appeared in front of everyone. Today the emperor walked in from the main hall, which puzzled the civil and military officials of the court. The emperor would walk through the main hall like this on such a big occasion. Could it be that today is a special day?The ministers in the court thought hard, but couldn't figure it out.The emperor walked up to the dragon chair step by step, and after sitting firmly, the relatives beside him sang and drank casually, and the court meeting officially began.
It was not the first time for Wang Xiujin to go to court, nor was it the first day he lived in ancient times. He knew that the emperor would not go to the main hall for no reason. , Wang Xiujin put all his energy into it so as not to miss the big event.It's just that the lengthy words of civil servants in various classical Chinese are like a lullaby to Wang Xiujin's ears. Wang Xiujin can't remember how many times he pinched himself secretly, and he secretly scolded the officials for not being able to learn simple and concise reports.
The important officials of various ministries finally finished their reports, and the emperor slowly opened his mouth. Today, many years ago, he was enthroned as emperor... Then the emperor began to count what he had done for the people of the world since he ascended the throne, and showed his achievements.From the emperor's opening, Wang Xiujin's mind immediately cleared up a lot. The emperor counted what happened every year and raised his eyes secretly. He thought that the emperor had something to do with it, but he was wrong. The emperor had nothing in his hand, just such a thing. Counting one incident, Wang Xiujin also sank his heart and followed the recollection, the past seems to be vivid in his mind.
After the emperor finished counting the past events, he talked about the present. Several overseas countries will send people to visit Daliang, how to entertain them, and how to arrange the rare animals that are about to be transported to Daliang.
When Wang Xiujin heard about overseas visitors, what he thought of was not how to entertain them, but how did the people who went out to sea pass the news over?When talking about precious beasts, Wang Xiujin seemed to understand the reason why the emperor called him into the palace. The emperor didn't want to kill those rare beasts that came across the ocean, and he didn't want to confront his courtiers. The beast is making a fuss, the civil servants don't want to spend money to raise some useless things, it is better to give them the money, bah, bah, he is talking nonsense, it should be said that the civil servants are afraid that the emperor will lose his mind, and have no intention of taking care of the government. People hold the power in the court.Wang Xiujin could even guess that someone in Wenchen's mind was referring to his father, so he curled his lips secretly.
Wang Xiujin didn't pay attention to the reactions of other people, but he didn't dare to let go of his thoughts, so as not to be pointed out by the emperor, but he didn't know what the emperor asked.
After listening to the clichés of the crowd, the emperor felt that these civil servants didn't have enough brains, and none of them knew what he was thinking.Then he looked at Wang Xiujin who had been bowing his head in silence. A civil servant with sharp eyesight also wanted to humiliate the imperial merchant, so he threw the question to Wang Xiujin, "I don't know what the imperial merchant's opinion is?"
"I don't dare to say that I have a high opinion, but I see one." Wang Xiujin replied calmly, and then cupped his hands to the emperor, "My lord, my ministers are seldom learned, and their understanding of the truth is far inferior to that of the ministers in the court. The experience accumulated over the years in business can be taught to others." It is better to teach people to fish than to fish" and "the wool comes out of the sheep". Rare beasts that come from afar are not suitable for early adopters. Who knows if they are poisonous, it is better to keep them in captivity for people to watch, let the people see what the overseas rare beasts look like, and open their eyes. For business, I also think about making money, and the rare beasts will not be seen by the people in vain, and a gate booth should be set up outside the circle to collect money. The money earned is used for all expenses in the circle." Wang Xiujin copied it. The model of zoos for later generations.
After Wang Xiujin's words fell, the generals all expressed their pity that they couldn't try something new. Although they said so, they felt a little lucky in their hearts. If anyone mentioned the matter of eating rare animals now, they would definitely not agree. They also cherish their lives, just like As Wang Xiujin said, what should they do if they are poisonous? They are not afraid of death. If they die on the battlefield, they can still leave a famous name. If Tu Yi died suddenly, how aggrieved.
The civil servants muttered in twos and threes, and the emperor nodded while sitting on the dragon chair. Although he felt a little uncomfortable that the precious beasts could not be rewarded by one person alone, compared to those ministers who would kill and eat the precious beasts without talking, Wang Xiujin can say I really know my heart.
"The minister seconded the proposal..." A minister with a quick mind immediately came out and agreed, and then quickly said that if the Zhenzhen Animal Garden can be built, it can be hosted by the household department.As soon as this one opened his mouth, other ministers who were still talking about it immediately started to snatch it. No one knows that the doctrines spoken by the imperial merchants are all about making money.
Wang Xiujin didn't open his mouth again, seeing a group of civil servants who had just been gentle and hated the same enemy who wanted to kill and scrape the rare beasts that he hadn't seen yet. ugly.Wang Xiujin was happy to watch the excitement. Just because he mentioned such a project, it doesn’t mean he wants to participate. The zoo, no, it’s the Zoo, it’s predictable that it will lose money in the early stage, and it’s not necessarily profitable in the later stage. The investment must be greater than the income, but he will not say it. He is only responsible for drawing a big cake. Whoever likes to bite will bite. He believes that even if the emperor wants to hand it over to him, these ministers will not agree. They will try their best. Get over it.
In the end, the matter did not fall on his head as Wang Xiujin thought. Instead, another minister from the Qing school took the lead, and several ministers representing different families acted as deputy. It seemed that they were not partial However, Wang Xiujin felt a little sympathetic to the ministers who were in charge of the beasts, but seeing that there were no special expressions on their faces, he had some inexplicable guesses in his heart.
When he got home, Wang Xiujin lay down on the bed to catch up on a day's sleep. After waking up, he began to sympathize with the elders who had to go to court every day. He felt exhausted last time. It was really not easy for the elders who went to court every day.
It is not easy to establish a rare beast garden. Everyone does not understand the rare beasts that have not been seen, so they can't build a shed like a stable, and then prepare to do something drastic. Said a lot of harsh words sarcastically, the minister of Qingliu didn't want to take the burden. In his opinion, he should help the emperor to govern the country and the world, instead of managing a bunch of beasts. It's embarrassing whether it's done well or not. I don't know what fun these foolish people have.
One proposal after another was blocked by the chief officer, and the deputies who proposed were also angry. Just because you don't want to make a living, doesn't mean they don't want to, and won't they pretend not to see it?Nod your head casually, let's build the Zhenshen Garden first, and then see that the date set by the emperor is coming, but in the end, nothing can be produced, and it will be embarrassing, where will they put their face.
But the more anxious the Minister Qingliu, who is in charge, the less he nods, those ministers who want to show their "capability" can only grit their teeth. It's not that they never thought of making this minister empty, but he is too good at suing Yes, even a little matter can reach the emperor's case. After a few times, they stopped, and they had to stop. Can not be reconciled.This matter went round and round, and he returned to the Beast Taming Division to do it.
Wang Xiujin didn't have any opinion on who was responsible, but he was happy to give some advice when the animal trainer was in charge.Since the Rare Animal Garden is open to all the people, it is natural not only to release the animals brought from overseas, but also to put some rare animals that are imported from China, so that the common people can’t just look at the sighs from overseas, but also feel that the rare animals in Daliang The beasts are more ferocious than the ones from overseas, and the common people feel from the bottom of their hearts that the things in Liangliang, whether they are objects or fierce beasts, are stronger than those from overseas.
Wang Xiujin thought of those people who worshiped foreigners in his previous life and wanted to grind his teeth. Yes, the countries before the end of the world were inferior to some great powers in terms of weapons and the Analects of Confucius, but the people should not be slavish in their bones, while holding all kinds of national powers. Subsidy, while yelling about how other countries are so good, don’t take this money if you have the guts, and run to find your good father abroad!He is very annoyed by this kind of person, and feels that it is necessary to establish a very correct concept from now on, and our things are always the best.Although such a concept is not correct, it is better than worshiping foreigners.
The speed of the Beast Taming Division is very fast. Originally, the royal family raised wild animals such as tigers and elephants, and raised some rare animals from overseas. Although they don’t know what the habit is, they still have some experience compared to other people who don’t know anything. .The royal family set aside a mountain for them, and they began to transport some of the beasts in Daliang to the mountain.These ferocious beasts were enclosed in a super-large iron cage, and a very strong house was built in the cage. The house was better built than a human living room, and the floor heating was indispensable. After winter, these ferocious beasts were starved to death.
After the beasts in Daliang are settled, and the sales are calculated, the staff of the Animal Taming Department are a bit confused. When will the money be earned back? The person in charge of the beast taming has no idea, but thinks The method is provided by the imperial merchants, so there should be no business trips.
Jianzhen Animal Park is a big project, so naturally it will not be very hidden. The people have all heard the rumors, and they are all looking forward to seeing the beasts and the beasts from overseas, what they look like, and whether they will Will have two noses and eight legs.When the big ships returning from overseas docked, the people stretched their necks to watch.
After the big ship docked, the common people went to the imperial gate every now and then to find out when the rare animal park in the capital would open, when they could go in and see, and they also heard that it cost money to get in, and how much it would cost.The enthusiasm of the people made the officials in the capital who heard the letter feel that the Zhen Beast Garden would definitely make money, and they were just waiting to count the money.
Wang Xiujin is not interested in rare beasts, he just wants to meet people who have returned from overseas, and see if he can bring back what he is looking forward to... this time.
If it was put a few years ago, if ordinary people knew that they had to pay to see strange animals, they would never be willing to pay.It's different now, people have big pockets, if they are interested, they don't care about such a small amount of money.
