Chapter 406 The Crown Prince Sells Melons
"Okay! I'll accompany your highness, but I'll tell you that you can sell this melon yourself at that time, and I won't help you." Fang Zheng gritted his teeth.
Go! If you don’t go, this kid runs to the princess’s cold wind and lights the ghost fire.
I've learned bad things! Maybe I'm making up lies with the princess, so I have to be careful!
Li Yuanzhao smiled happily when she heard this.
"Don't worry! I'll sell it, but do you think our melons can be sold?"
Fang Zheng turned around and walked to the door and asked Liu Jin to come in with a melon.
He put down the stone table in the yard, and then called the servant to take a knife and divide the melon.
The watermelon is full of everything, Fang Zhengyi shook his head.
It's still the same egg-like, hollow watermelon, most of which are white meat, and it doesn't look sweet!
"Your Highness, do you like eating this cold melon?"
Li Yuanzhao looked at the watermelon: "I don't like it very much, it tastes average, but it's very big!"
Very good, very powerful reasons!
Big is good!
"That's it. Hangua is still an ordinary Hangua. This thing just looks big and is more resistant to eating. It is not outstanding compared to ordinary fruits."
"The only advantage is that it appears in a season that shouldn't have appeared. Is this worth ten taels of silver alone? It's obviously not worth it!"
"And your highness openly appeared in the palace to set up a stall. According to my experience, those ministers will not buy it. It would be fine if you don't memorize the book! So it is very difficult to sell it at a price of ten taels!"
"Then if you want it to be worth the money, you have to create a gimmick and make it worth the price of ten taels!"
"For example, if it's not sweet, you have to make it sweet like a way!"
Li Yuanzhao was confused: "It's already like this, I've picked it off, how can I still become sweet?"
"I don't know, Your Highness, you are selling melons, not me."
"Also, the most important thing is that selling things cannot deceive people. If you can't make it sweet, don't say it is sweet. The buyer is not a fool, so that the business will not be done in the future." Fang Zhengyi said seriously.
A strange smile appeared on Li Yuanzhao's face: "Lao Fang, don't pretend! Have you cheated less?"
Fang Zhengyi also smiled disdainfully: "Although I use some language art to do business, both parties can often benefit from it, which has the basis for continuing cooperation."
"Second, if you cheat hard, it must be a one-time transaction and you will never cooperate in the future!"
"Third, if you want to cheat, then you can cheat for the rest of your life, or you can make a lie clear, otherwise you don't have the confidence to do it!"
"Your Highness is the crown prince, and no one can establish a business without trust! Business has always benefited from both parties. False propaganda is just a skill, and honest management is the way! And it is a long-term way! Does Your Highness understand?"
Li Yuanzhao thought to herself: "Well...I'll think about it again."
.........
The next day.
Liu Jin brought people early to pull two carts of watermelons down the square in front of the Taihe Palace.
When the court meeting ended, the ministers came out of the hall one after another and saw the two cars of eye-catching watermelons at a glance.
Then he saw Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao running all the way to the car.
Li Yuanzhao picked up the signboard in the car and stood up, facing the ministers!
Fang Zhengyi sat in the melon cart and couldn't help but cover his face.
Sure enough... This land is too empty, and selling melons looks particularly weird!
The ministers who had not yet walked down the steps saw the prince erecting a sign and rushed over.
Although many ministers wore glasses at this time, they still couldn't see what was written on the sign at a distance.
When I got closer, I saw that the sign Li Yuanzhao was leaning on said "Han Melon, no sweetness, no money"
Li Yuanzhao saw people coming one after another and shouted loudly: "Sell melons! Sell melons!"
Fang Zhengyi quickly turned to the side and said he didn't know each other.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuanzhao reached out and poked him twice: "Lao Fang! Scream me!"
"I don't need my help!"
"This is not a helping!"
Fang Zhengyi had no choice but to turn his body back and shouted weakly: "Sell melons! Sell melons!"
At this time, more and more people gathered, and finally surrounded the melon stall.
"Come on, everyone comes to see the melons sold in this palace! It's not sweet and no money!" Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but feel excited when he saw that there were too many people.
A group of ministers looked at Fang Zhengyi with a cold face.
Suddenly, Li Yansong came out of the crowd, looked at the melon stall and then at Fang Zhengyi, and shouted angrily: "Fang Zhengyi! You are so brave! You dare to instigate His Highness the Crown Prince to sell melons in the palace. What kind of morality is it?"
The crowd followed and said, "This Fang Zhengyi is starting to make trouble again."
"Yes, why are you not resting all day long?"
"Mr. Li is really selfless..."
As soon as Fang Zheng was about to explain, Li Yuanzhao spoke first: "It has nothing to do with him! This is the melon that I want to sell!"
"Since everyone is here, let's try how my melon tastes. If you think it's delicious, buy one and go back!"
After saying that, I picked up the knife next to me and took the knife and cut a melon into ten pieces.
A large pool of juice instantly exploded from the melon and flowed to the ground.
Li Yansong was immediately shocked: "Your Highness, why are you so much water flowing in your melon? This is a rotten melon!"
Li Yuanzhao was unhappy: "What water? What water? That's juice!"
"Master Li, how about it taste? This is called honey melon!"
A petal of watermelon was handed to Li Yansong, but he did not answer it. He looked at Li Yuanzhao with a cold expression: "Your Highness, stop making trouble."
"This is the palace. Since Your Highness is the crown prince, how can you sell melons here?"
"I sold glasses last time! Didn't you buy them too? Why can't I sell melons today?" Li Yuanzhao asked in a naive face.
"Then...that's different!" Li Yansong blushed.
It’s really impossible to say in terms of reason. I can’t say that I can sell glasses, right?
The prince did learn bad things with Fang Zhengyi!
"Hey! Where did the melon come from now? It's already out of season!"
Someone suddenly interjected this in the crowd, and everyone's attention was instantly diverted.
Yes! Where can I have melons in the world now?
Only then did Li Yansong realize that something was wrong, and his eyes couldn't help but wander on the melon.
Li Yuanzhao handed the melon forward in time.
Fang Zhengyi's voice came slowly: "Don't worry, please try it, buy it with confidence, your Highness will naturally not make a profit by selling melons."
"This is a charity sale, and the money for selling melons will be donated to the poor people among the people..."
Since he wants to sell, he can only say that. Otherwise, depending on the attitude of the ministers, this melon cannot be sold today!
Sure enough, when the charity sale was mentioned, the opposition became much smaller.
Seeing that the prince's hand was still holding it up, Li Yansong couldn't help but take the watermelon.
"Master Li, how about it?"
Li Yansong smiled bitterly, took a small bite, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Sweet! So sweet! I have never eaten such a sweet melon. It is worthy of being called honey melon. There is really a fragrance of nectar inside, which is really extraordinary!"
