From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104 Subordinates feel inappropriate (reward plus more)
"You take a rough look at this book first."

Zhao Tai took out the condensed book and handed it over. Although Zheng Chen wondered why Zhao Tai asked him to read the book, he didn't say anything.

"Tai'an Medical Code."

Zheng Chen looked at the four words on the book cover and read them out softly. Zhao Tai heard it, but his cheeky face remained unchanged.

Can the affairs of scholars be called plagiarism?That's called using it.

Not only the title of the book, Zhao Tai also added his signature.

The recognition is directly full.

Zheng Chen didn't understand medical skills, but after seeing it, his first feeling was, I understand medical skills.

As a businessman, he reads not only the content but also the value of the book in his mind.

He also kept Zhao Tai's words in mind, he just flipped through the book roughly and then closed the book with his own willpower.

"how?"

"A treasure book of medical knowledge, a priceless treasure."

Perhaps it was not enough, so I added one more sentence at the end.

"The book of classics."

He has no medical skills, and anyone who has never been in contact with it can roughly understand it and apply the knowledge in it. These evaluations are not exaggerated.

Then he realized that the reason why Zhao Tai showed him the book and said that he wanted to do unique business with the world must have something to do with this Tai'an Medical Code.

"Duke Ming wants to sell this medical book?"

Zhao Tai nodded and did not deny it. This was his purpose in the first place. It was not surprising that Zheng Chen could guess it.

"I don't know how Minggong wants to sell it?"

"Can you tell me how to do it?"

Zhao Tai was really curious, Zheng Chen's mind became better and better after he started business, so he even asked Zhao Tai what method he wanted to sell.

When it comes to his major, Zheng Chen is obviously confident.

"It's not easy for Mr. Ming to sell it for a good price. After all, people who haven't read this medical book don't know its value. If you auction it, you may make a fortune with the reputation of a business in Changshan County. Limited to Changshan County."

Zheng Chen's words really mean something when he thinks about it carefully. With the current reputation of Tai'an Commercial Bank as a guarantee, someone will definitely buy it, but it's really hard to say how much they can pay.

If you go to the outside world and try your best to blow the whistle, someone will have to believe it.

"It really can't be auctioned?"

Looking at Zheng Chen's words, Zhao Tai wanted to test how much real talent he had, but he didn't believe that Zheng Chen really had nothing to do.

"Yes, but Minggong, it will take some time."

Indeed, seeing Zheng Chen's plain face, it seems that he already has a plan in his heart, which is a bit interesting.

"How to operate?"

"My lord, it's enough to build momentum for this book, just send a person with medical skills to take this book to the place, or treat the common people's diseases in the folk.

Either increase the consultation fee to attract the attention of people with enough money and food, either way can gather some fame.

But to make sure that the medicine can cure the disease, and then use the slogan of a genius doctor to expand the reputation, and when the time is almost up, it will be put up for auction in the medical book. Does Minggong think anyone will buy it? "

"However, there is a disadvantage in this way. It is easy to be murdered, and if this medical book is sold, the profit is limited, and the cost is too high."

Zhao Tai's expression was suffocated. It was really possible that he would be sap, and would either rob people or books.

But it is only possible, after all, people in this era value reputation very much, and their integrity is not bad.

Even if it is successfully sold, the cost will be high as Zheng Chen said.

What price can you sell it for?Ten thousand dollars?Or Baishiliang?

For this amount of money and food, people have to be transported. It’s not good if there are fewer escorts. On the road, the bandits don’t care whose belongings you have.

"Then what else can be done?"

"When ordinary books are sold, the profit is small but the sales are quick, but why did Minggong sell this medical book? The subordinates don't understand."

From Zheng Chen's business point of view, although he can make money from selling medical texts, it is too troublesome. The key is that the money earned is not proportional to the value of the medical texts. No matter how you calculate it, you will lose more than you make.

For this reason, Zhao Tai told him his thoughts, which obviously sounded like a good thing, and the long-term benefits were much more affordable than money.

But this kind of benefit and cost-effective thing made Zheng Chen frown.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't blame Minggong, although the subordinates are grateful for Minggong's benevolence, but the subordinates feel that this is inappropriate."

For some reason, Zheng Chen's words gave Zhao Tai a bad premonition, but could there be something he hadn't considered?

"Tell me more, if you can't tell the reason, see how I punish you."

The blueprint has been drawn up, but if you and I can't do it, how could Zhao Tai reject this idea so easily.

"Ming Gong forgives me. I don't think Ming Gong's approach of spreading the medical classics to the world is wrong. I just feel that the people will not benefit from doing so."

Zheng Chen also knew that if he couldn't persuade Zhao Tai, no matter how good-tempered Zhao Tai was to his own people, he would definitely punish him if he said he wanted to punish him.

He didn't forget that because of the need to determine the criminal law and rules, Xia Houlan's first job as a criminal law manager was to take Zhou Ping to the fore.

And he really dared to say that when he came up, he uprooted Zhao Tai's blueprint, leaving no room for it.

After what Zheng Chen said, Zhao Tai had stopped thinking about accusing him, because he also thought of something, but it was not very clear.

Seeing Zhao Tai not talking, but still looking thoughtful, Zheng Chen relaxed a little and continued.

"If medical classics were sold all over the world, even if everyone had a copy, the common people would not be able to use the knowledge contained in them because the common people are illiterate."

A sentence of illiteracy caused a bang in Zhao Tai's mind. He was caught in the blueprint he had drawn before and ignored this most important detail.

But Zheng Chen obviously didn't know what it means to stop. He had been with Zhao Tai for a while, and he was still a personal guard.

Even though he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility now, he still regards himself as Zhao Tai's personal guard, but he has been trained as a personal guard, who can relieve Zhao Tai's worries to a certain extent.

This is his duty, and based on his understanding of Zhao Tai, he has always been not afraid of what you say, no matter how much you say, as long as it makes sense, Zhao Tai will listen.

I'm not afraid of you telling the truth, even if it will disrupt Zhao Tai's deployment, but if the deployment is wrong and it is pointed out, will Zhao Tai kill someone?
No, at most I am just angry, and it will get better after a while.

That's why Zheng Chen dared to say it, and he would say it, as long as it made sense.

Zhao Tai glanced at Zheng Chen, who did not change his face, and really admired him. This may be the best interpretation of the onlooker.

"continue."

After stabilizing his mentality, Zhao Tai felt that Zheng Chen must have not finished speaking, and he stopped to give Zhao Tai time to digest.

"Here, please forgive me if you say something wrong."

"Medical classics are flowing out, and few people can use them. The final destination of the medical classics will be doctors, scholars, aristocratic families, merchants, and the court. They have little relationship with the people themselves. If they have any relationship, they will only be exploited."

If Zhao Tai was unwilling before, now he is piercing his heart, and piercing it thoroughly.

"Doctors are benevolent. Needless to say, they will help the world and the people after obtaining the medical code, but they are too small to compete with aristocratic families and corrupt courts.

If you want to exploit, you only need to make a fuss about the price, buy medicinal materials at low prices, and sell them at high prices according to the medical scriptures, and the common people still look down on diseases. "

With a calm mind, Zhao Tai no longer thinks about publishing the medical codes.

Anyway, it is never the common people who make half-day profits, and a small number of groups that can benefit the common people will also be stuck.

Doctors can also buy medicinal materials at low prices, and others can raise the prices and charge them. Ignorant people will not consider anything else. They only know who sells to whom at a high price.

Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't fight against the aristocratic family. There was no price management bureau in ancient times, and the imperial court didn't care about how to charge or sell.

Perhaps the wise words of the emperor will curb prices, but this is Liu Hong in power, he can't even listen to it, and asking him to manage prices is just a dream.

Zheng Chen's words were full of blood, but Zhao Tai looked at him completely differently now. He never thought that Zheng Chen, who was used as a tool man in the beginning, had grown to this point.

Business can be explained by various business books, but this kind of excellent long-term vision cannot be obtained by reading a few books.

Every word Zheng Chen said made sense, and there were very few flaws that could be found.

It was precisely because of his analysis that Zhao Tai lowered his expectations for the Barefoot Doctor's Manual.

The reason why the divine book is a divine book is that it possesses divinity based on actual combination.

It is not omnipotent, and it needs to be viewed with objective ideas and social forms. It is unrealistic to conceive without combining actual factors and only knowing that it can meet that expectation.

Too idealistic, most cases can only be harmful.

For Zheng Chen's ability displayed at this moment, Zhao Tai has the feeling that a great talent is by my side.

He looked Zheng Chen up and down, not knowing what to think in his mind, anyway, Zheng Chen was frightened by the look.

"Ming Gong, did my subordinate say something wrong?"

"Not wrong, but quite right, great analysis."

Zhao Tai patted Zheng Chen's shoulder, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Zheng Chen, if you are asked to take charge of the logistics and internal affairs under my rule, are you confident that you can do it?"

If there are talents, then use them. Although it is not considered inferior to let him engage in business, Tai'an Trading Company is supported by Zhao Tai, and no one can compete with him for all kinds of products.

It doesn't take much clever business means to pull and fight hard. On the contrary, there are not many people Zhao Tai can use in terms of internal affairs.

If Zheng Chen nodded, then Zhao Tai would be able to pull him over immediately.

"Minggong, my subordinates feel that Tai'an Commercial Bank can be used as logistics, and the business can handle the transportation of materials, and my subordinates don't understand logistics."

"Logistics is the management of food, grass and military equipment, storage and delivery, and transportation. How can you not understand?"

You know how to play a business, but you're telling me you don't understand logistics?You are fooling the devil.

Moreover, logistics management is similar to business in principle, so Zheng Chen may not understand how capable he is.

It's no problem to hand over supplies to a commercial firm for transportation, but some things can only be resolved by the government itself, and cannot be handed over to others, even if the commercial firm is Zhao Tai's own.

Business is business, and politics is politics. Business can be assisted, but business must never be the dominant one.

Businessmen, only those who are only interested in profit are called businessmen, and they dare to do anything for the sake of profit.
