The best county magistrate

February 26th, the day before the auction.

Zijinzhai Hall.

Yang Xuanchen kept shaking his head with a wry smile on his face, as if he was not very satisfied with the prostitute chosen by Zhou Xinran.

"Miss Zi Han, your action is wrong. Try again."

"What I want is the hazy beauty and temptation!"

"It's not like the flirtatious feeling of Youfenglou, you understand?"

Zi Han felt aggrieved when he heard this. In the bathtub full of foam, he bent over, hugged his legs, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing that she seemed to be badly scolded by him, Yang Xuanchen touched his nose and laughed awkwardly a few times.

"Miss Zi Han, our goal today is to sell these things for a good price at the auction."

"The people who attend the auction are either rich or noble. Vulgarity is definitely not acceptable. We want elegance, the kind of elegance that is fresh and refined!"

"Just imagine, when I first came to Liuyinglu, Miss Xinran was so unruly and looked down on others..."

Zhou Xinran interrupted him halfway through his words, "What do you mean by looking down on others? Explain it clearly!"

"Oh, that's the feeling. To put it simply, it's that I look down on you, but I have to please you. My body is honest but my heart resists."

Zi Han seemed to understand some of it, and then demonstrated it again according to what Yang Xuanchen had just said, but the effect was not good.

After reading it, Yang Xuanchen frowned and said nothing.

Zhou Xinran and Zi Han felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Could this not be the way to go?

"Miss Zi Han, please use some emotion. I won't let you help me for nothing. I'll give you some of these things later. Can you please invest some emotion?"

Yang Xuanchen was helpless and could only resort to bribery.

You know what, this trick is quite effective against women. Zi Han performed quite well in the next rehearsal.

"Good! Zanninas!"

He clapped his hands and praised, "Remember this feeling, and act like this when it's your turn tomorrow."

Yang Xuanchen leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead, which was a little sore and swollen. "Xinran, let the next person come up."

The next to appear were two girls holding swords. They confronted each other for a while, and then used sword skills to fight each other.

When the fight reached its exciting part, one of them stopped, said a few lines, and then the two continued fighting while waving their soft swords.

Zhou Miaomiao and Yu Wei expressed great appreciation for the program.

Since both women nodded, Yang Xuanchen would not refuse their respect, "Okay! Now that you've passed, go down and claim your reward. Remember to work hard tomorrow."

The two women holding swords smiled, blew her a kiss and retreated.

In the subsequent sessions, Yang Xuanchen, Zhou Miaomiao and Yu Wei continued to comment and put forward many opinions and suggestions for rectification.

Finally, the preparations before the auction were almost completed.

As the lights came on, Yang Xuanchen was summoned to the palace.

Fengming Hall.

"Xuanchen, how are things planned for tomorrow?" There seemed to be some anticipation in Emperor Jianwen's tone.

Yang Xuanchen bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Then he bowed to Concubine Shu and said, "Please rest assured, Zijinzhai will win the first battle tomorrow."

Concubine Shu looked at him and liked him from the bottom of her heart. Naturally, her face was full of smiles. "You must be tired these days. You just came back from Jiangzhou and you have to take care of Zijinzhai's affairs a few days ago."

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. It is not a matter of whether it is hard or not. It is my duty to share the worries of Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

"How much silver do you estimate we can get from tomorrow's auction?" asked Emperor Jianwen.

Yang Xuanchen scratched his head and touched his nose. He had never estimated the amount of tomorrow's auction.

"Your Majesty, since this is an auction, the more silver the better. As for how much silver can be auctioned off, I haven't calculated it."

"But the auction only sells high-end items, the quantity is very small and it is a one-time deal. From the perspective of making money, it is not very useful."

Seeing him say this, Concubine Shu asked, "Then what's the use of it?"

“Fame!”

Yang Xuanchen said this in a decisive tone.

"Fame?" Emperor Jianwen and Concubine Shu asked in unison.

"Yes, that's right! It's fame!"

He explained.

"If Zijinzhai was still an unknown business before today, then starting tomorrow, it will become a well-known business in Shangjing City."

"What Zijinzhai lacks now is fame. With fame comes popularity, and with popularity, wealth will naturally follow."

Yang Xuanchen continued to explain his business philosophy to Emperor Jianwen and Concubine Shu, and his words revealed his deep understanding and foresight of business operations.

“Although Zijinzhai currently has a place in the high-end market, it must expand its influence if it wants to develop in the long run.”

Yang Xuanchen gestured as he spoke, as if he was envisioning the future blueprint for Zijinzhai.

"Fame is not just about letting people know the name Zijinzhai, but more importantly, it is about letting people recognize the brand value of Zijinzhai and making the name synonymous with quality and credibility."

He looked at Emperor Jianwen and Concubine Shu with a firm gaze.

"Once we have a good reputation, even ordinary people will be willing to pay for Zijinzhai's products because they believe that Zijinzhai represents a guarantee of quality."

Yang Xuanchen walked to the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea, and continued.

"In addition, fame can attract more partners. With their support, Zijinzhai can further expand its scale, develop new markets, and even expand to every corner of China."

There was a barely perceptible hint of excitement in his voice.

"And!" Yang Xuanchen put down the teacup and his tone became serious.

"In the process, we can also take this opportunity to increase tax revenue for the court and provide more employment opportunities for the people. This is a true win-win situation."

Emperor Jianwen and Concubine Shu listened to Yang Xuanchen's analysis, and appreciation gradually appeared in their eyes.

They began to realize that what Yang Xuanchen proposed was not just a simple business strategy, but a grand plan that could drive the economic development of the entire country.

"Xuanchen, your insights are unique and I am very interested." Emperor Jianwen nodded slightly to show his approval.

Concubine Shu also smiled and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. Lord Yang is indeed a business genius. I admire him."

Yang Xuanchen smiled modestly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am just trying my best to contribute to the country and the people."

"Well," Emperor Jianwen stood up, his eyes sparkling, "I hope you can plan this plan in detail, and I will fully support you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Xuanchen bowed deeply, his eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future.

But I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

After all, Zijinzhai is still your property, not mine, Yang Xuanchen.

You make me do everything, so why do you let me rest?

My wife and I have only been in Beijing for a few days. We haven’t had a good night’s sleep for a few days, and now we have another burden.

It's really killing me!
