Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

When Yuchi Baoqi asked him a professional question, the steward took two quick steps to lead the way.

"Currently, the Mobei Duhu Prefecture Baoli Commercial Bank branch has conducted two trial operations. The main trading commodities here are some handicrafts and specialty foods from the Central Plains and Jiangnan regions, such as cans, tea, and tea bricks."

"In fact, the overall sales volume of tea and tea bricks accounts for 60% of the entire Baoli Trading Company's turnover. This is because we have introduced the most advanced indoor soilless cultivation technology in Datang. We can grow some simple and easy-to-live crops here. of vegetables.”

"It can be said that these vegetables have a price but no market. Baoli Trading Company adheres to the principle of honest management and insists on the same price as those sold in the Central Plains area to benefit the people."

"However, many second-level dealers came to buy vegetables, and the people they brought were also rushing to buy vegetables. I heard that on the so-called black market outside, the price of a pound of green leafy vegetables has reached 50 cents, and the supply exceeds demand."

The steward took Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi to the location of the indoor hydroponic vegetables. The entire sales area was like a waterfall made of green leafy vegetables. Green vegetables grew in glass vessels and were hung here.

"We also discussed the issue of purchase restrictions, but gave up in the end. Even with purchase restrictions, our soilless vegetables are only a drop in the bucket and the scale is too small."

"Although the population here is not too large, the purchasing power is amazing. Baoli Trading Company and Animal Husbandry Company charges the herdsmen's cattle and sheep at very good prices, so tea leaves, tea bricks and green leafy vegetables drive a large part of the product sales."

Yuchi Baoqi touched his chin: "I heard from the herdsmen that the Baoli Trading Company here will send caravans out to trade with the herdsmen, and the supplies they carry cannot meet the needs of some herdsmen."

Li Shimin made up for the fine fabrics and clothes that Amin had longed for.

The steward was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, young master. The nomadic nature of the people here means that their women's needlework skills must be useful. Even in the Protector's Mansion, you can count the number of qualified embroiderers you can find on one hand. come over."

"According to our previous experience at Baoli Trading Company, we always transport large quantities of silk, fabrics, brocades, and brocades to the local area, and then find qualified female workers and embroiderers locally to process and sew these clothes."

"It not only reduces transportation costs, but also improves the employment situation of local women. It is a win-win situation."

"But you two also know that the number and skills of the female workers here are really..."

The steward couldn't continue talking because he saw Yuchi Baoqi's originally calm eyes filled with anger.

Yuchi Baoqi was very restrained, but there was still anger in his voice: "I will reiterate one last time, Baoli Trading Bank has never been opened for profit. Baoli Trading Bank can not make money, or even make a loss."

"Have you heard of Lu Yuanshan from the previous Lingnan Branch? What is the current situation of the Lingnan Branch?"

"The main purpose of Baoli Trading Company is to build a better Tang Dynasty and provide the people of Tang Dynasty with better products and an excellent experience at a lower price. Refined salt sells for five cents per catty. Tell me Baoli What does a trading house exist for?”

The steward lowered his head, feeling very ashamed: "Baoli Trading Company exists for the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Yuchi Baoqi snorted coldly: "Oh, you still know?! The yield of hydroponic cultivation is insufficient. There are always valleys in the Mobei grassland plateau and mountains, right? It is feasible to find a few valleys to build large-scale greenhouse farms and grow some suitable vegetables. Bar?"

"If that doesn't work, build the road. Can we transport it into the grassland from outside?"

"And as you said, we can't find qualified female workers and embroiderers, okay. A hundred years from now, will this woman from Mobei still be unable to learn the shabby embroidery skills? Tell me, what is embroidery? Is it something difficult to learn?”

"I promise that women who have learned female worker skills and passed the assessment will be assigned to make garments, embroidery and other related work. I want to see the complete plan tomorrow morning, including expenditures."

The steward looked at Yuchi Baoqi and nodded solemnly: "I understand the young master's instructions. I will try my best to get out of my conventional thinking and help the people and herdsmen in the Mobei grassland according to local conditions."

Yuchi Baoqi glanced at the steward: "It's not about effort, it's about necessity. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind changing to another steward."

Li Shimin patted Yuchi Baoqi on the back: "Calm down, this is the first time for the people below. Calm down, huh~. Aren't we here to have fun? Why are we starting a career again?"

Yuchi Baoqi snorted coldly: "You wouldn't be in trouble if the problem didn't come from you. If the officials of the Mobei Protectorate only know how to accuse the people of being ignorant and don't provide education for the construction of the government or slow down the progress of the construction, what do you say? ?”

When Li Shimin heard this, he became angry: "Then his mother's head must be beheaded. It would be best if the whole family beheaded."

The stewards on the side trembled after hearing this. Yuchi Baoqi looked back at the steward and said, "Tomorrow morning, the plan. And also to correct your thoughts."

The steward nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's the young master. I will definitely, definitely."

Yuchi Baoqi and Li Shimin walked around Baoli Trading Store again. Most of them were display cabinets of tea and tea bricks. The largest quantity was steamed tea bricks in large quantities, and the price was also the most affordable.

The quantity of high-quality green tea and black tea is relatively small. This is also normal. People on the grasslands rarely come into contact with green leafy vegetables. The source of vitamin supplements is tea, and milk tea is almost indispensable.

Yuchi Baoqi pursed his lips and stood for a while: "If the next time I come here is still a fucking bullshit tea shop, this Beyond Baoli Trading Store won't open."

After leaving Baoli Trading Store, Li Shimin covered the sun with his hands: "Is the sun so strong on this grassland?"

Yuchi Baoqi yawned: "It's normal on the plateau. The ultraviolet rays are more intense. If you get too much sun and the wind blows, the skin will peel off on your face and you can't even see it."

Li Shimin quickly got into the car and lowered the passenger sun visor: "What are we going to do now? We're not hungry, and there's nothing to do here."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the fuel gauge, took out the spare oil barrel in the trunk and filled the car with oil. Then, from an angle that Li Shimin couldn't see, he took a brand new barrel of gasoline from the space and put it back. The empty barrel Just throw it back into space and Xiaomai'er will take care of it.

Yuchi Baoqi got into the car smelling of gasoline. Li Shimin fanned the car and opened the car window to disperse the smell.

"Find a few valleys where greenhouses can be used to grow vegetables, and plan a few roads that are convenient for transporting vegetables. When the time comes, you will drive and I will do the mapping."

Li Shimin pulled the seat belt and covered his face with his hands: "Didn't we agree to come out to play and challenge? Why are you starting to work again!"
