The two chatted for a while, and then Qi Mao asked the reason why the middle-aged scholar came. The middle-aged scholar named Yang Kun took out a copy of today's Daqin Metropolis Daily from his sleeves and said: "Have you read today's newspaper?"

Qi Mao quickly shook his head and said, "Early early this morning, business colleagues came to discuss the delivery of goods, and they didn't have time to watch it yet!"

"Brother Qi, take a look at this news!" Yang Kun handed Qi Mao the folded newspaper. The most conspicuous thing was the news of the recruitment of Xianyang Women's College.

"Hiss~ Xianyang Women's College? Who dares to take such a ruthless attitude to open a college that specializes in women's reading, literacy, singing, dancing and painting. If your Majesty and the princes and princes in the dynasty know, they may be scolded or even banned immediately..." The news was short, and only a hundred words were written, Qi Mao finished reading it in an instant, and then he took a breath of cold air with a shocked and suspicious look on his face.

"Haha, Brother Qi is too worried. This girls' academy will not only not be banned, but will also be very prosperous!" Yang Kun shook his head with a smile.

"How is it possible? Song and dance are usually the affairs of concubines. How could a good person's daughter voluntarily send her to learn these messy things, and she also has to learn to sew clothes. This is the affairs of a poor daughter..."

"Brother Qi forgot the three rules and disaster relief matters?" Yang Kun interrupted Qi Mao's words.

"Could it be... this girls' academy was opened by Qinghehou?" Qi Mao realized immediately.

"Yes!" Yang Kun nodded, "Yang just came from the newly opened Women's College. Do you know that the daughters of those families are going to study?"

"Has anyone already gone?"

"Not only have you gone, but the identity of the person who went there can scare you to death..." Yang Kun looked at Qi Mao's surprised expression and did not keep it a secret, but continued, "Not only are there ordinary daughters of the noble family, but also the young daughter of the Ministry of Revenue Ling Gao, the legitimate daughter of the Censor Meng, and even the five princesses of the emperor..."

"What?" Qi Mao stood up suddenly, poured tea in his hand, and was stunned for a long time. After sitting down and saying in surprise, "Brother Yang, I haven't finished my time. The princess will go to the Women's College to learn these poor and humble techniques?"

"Brother Qi, the world has changed. Today's Great Qin is no longer the Great Zhou, nor is it a time of the vassals fighting. Everything that the Qinghe Hou did is incredible, but it is eye-opening, and the results are all amazing. This is not only a school specially opened for women, but also a great opportunity to make a fortune..."

Qi Mao was stunned for a long time and shook his head: "Sorry Qi is ignorant. Since the person who went there is either a princess or a daughter of princes and princes, I think it's just a fun for these noble daughters, how can there be an opportunity to make a fortune!"

Yang Kun's face twitched slightly and said, "Could Brother Qi really not see the business opportunity?"

Qi Mao bowed and smiled bitterly: "Please tell me where is the opportunity to make a fortune?"

"It's among these nobles!" Yang Kun answered calmly.

After thinking for a long time, Qi Mao shook his head: "Brother Yang, don't keep it in hiding. Qi Mao is stupid and really didn't see it!"

"This news about recruiting female students is not targeted at specific groups. In other words, the Women's College does not only recruit daughters from bureaucratic and noble families such as kings, princes, ministers, and nobles, but also all classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. The number of people recruited may be different, which means that not everyone who goes there can be recruited. Once you go in, you will inevitably be able to study with these noble families' daughters..."

"Not bad!" Qi Mao's eyes lit up and nodded quickly.

"This is just one of them. Brother Qi has had contact with the Queen of Qinghe, and he must be very concerned about what Queen of Qinghe does on a daily basis. Do you know what Queen of Qinghe likes to do the most?" Yang Kun shook his head gently.

"Qinghe Hou's favorite..." Qi Mao pondered for a while and said, "Is it because he got married?"

Yang Kun seemed to not know Qi Mao, and looked at Qi Mao for a long time before sighing and stood up and said, "Brother Qi, Yang has disturbed him today, say goodbye!"

"Hey, Brother Yang, wait, Qi has been a little dizzy because he is busy with freight every day. I would like to ask Brother Yang to give me advice. If you get something, you will definitely give me a gift." Qi Mao quickly stood up and pulled Yang Kun away.

Although Qi Mao could not think of the reason for any news related to Qinghe Hou, he would definitely not dare to ignore it. Moreover, Yang Kun would definitely have the idea of ​​giving advice on this matter with him today.

"The Qin Dynasty has unified the six countries and there will be no more weapons in the country. The next step is to develop people's livelihood. Brother Qi has been doing business along the river in recent years. Haven't you found that the time for you to make the most money after the stability of the country? In the past, there were five countries along the river, Han, Wei, Qin, Zhao and Qi, and there were many checkpoints between countries. In addition, the coins were not unified, so there were many troubles. But now there are no more these bonds. Although merchants now have harsh laws to suppress, they are generally much safer and smoother than before. The suppression of merchants has become increasingly loose after entering Xianyang last year.

Three rules and regulations have greatly improved the status of merchants. In addition, Brother Qi took the initiative to help transport disaster relief clothes this time, and His Majesty actually ordered rewards himself. This is a great encouragement for business colleagues in the world. Although the harsh laws have not been loosened, the status of merchants who were extremely suppressed in the past is gradually increasing. The newspapers often publish some business operations, especially the emergence of domestic demand theory in the previous issue of newspapers. Yang felt that the relaxed days of merchants in the Qin Dynasty would soon come. Once Your Majesty lifted the harsh laws to suppress merchants, Brother Qi knew what the consequences were?"

Qi Mao's face turned red and his eyes were dull. He looked straight at Yang Kun for a long time before he came back to his senses and said stammeringly: "Yang... Brother Yang is urging me, Your Majesty will lift the ban and suppress the laws of merchants such as us?"

"As long as the Marquis of Qinghe is here, this matter will definitely succeed. I just asked you what Qinghe Marquis like the most. What you said about marrying a wife made me extremely disappointed. Marquis of Qinghe refused His Majesty's marriage to be the wife of the Shui clan. Everyone in the world knows this. Could it be that Brother Qi doesn't know? Princess Qingning died of illness before she got married, but Marquis of Qinghe was still buried with a wife ceremony. This is a righteousness that is not Yuntian, and it is not a person who values ​​love and righteousness. In history, only the Marquis of Qinghe has done it. If you believe it, then Yang can only think that Brother Qi is really stupid and incurable..."

"Then...what is Qinghe Hou's favorite thing to make money?" Qi Mao asked blushed.

"Making money is just an appearance, not the original intention of Qinghe Hou. Qinghe Hou proposed to reform currency, which is the early preparation for the vigorous development of business. Only with sufficient coins, and with intermediaries like Huaxia Money House, if the laws to suppress merchants are abolished, business will flourish like bamboo shoots after a rain. Qinghe Hou studied porcelain, brewed fine wine, opened Qinghe shops and Qinghe hotels, but these things were sold at a very high price, and they never competed for profit with the people. On the contrary, it led countless merchants to make profits. In the past, I thought Qinghe Hou liked money, just like Brother Qi, and I claimed to be a careful study of business, often guiding merchants to make various profit strategies. Merchants who followed a suggestion were not bad, so they made Yang's reputation among merchants. But after reading the theory of domestic demand last time, I realized how short-sighted Yang was before..."

Yang Kun said this and turned to look at Qi Mao word by word: "In response to the domestic demand theory, Yang thought about his family and never went out for nine days. Today, the new newspaper was listed, and he hurried to buy the newspaper again. Then he saw the admission information of this women's college and suddenly understood everything. Qinghe Hou would definitely submit a memorial to abolish many laws to suppress merchants in the near future."

"I have also seen the theory of domestic demand, but why don't I feel any signs of abolishing the merchant laws?" Although Qi Mao was so excited by Yang Kun's words that he was a little lost, he still felt that this matter was not very reliable.

Yang Kun sighed: "As a matter of fact, no one in the world understands Qinghe Hou. Even Brother Qi is so taken care of by the person who is so taken care of by Qinghe Hou. I am afraid that the so-called leader of the world's merchants, Fan, probably thought so. Yang thought it was only after he thought behind closed doors for nine days before he truly understood that Qinghe Hou's favorite thing was actually governing the country, which was a strategy for stability and stability of the country. I heard Qinghe Hou once said: The country is unstable without farmers, and no business is rich, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe. But unfortunately... this sentence has been ignored by everyone!"

Looking at Yang Kun's lost expression, Qi Mao didn't think much at this time, and quickly bowed and said, "Qi Mao is not a wise man like Brother Yang. Please sit down and give me some advice!"

Yang Kun sat down again, and Qi Mao ordered the servant to serve tea again.

"Once the abolition of the decree to suppress merchants is officially issued, Brother Qi's freight business will surely flourish. With Brother Qi's current reputation, it will definitely be foreseeable that the monopoly on freight along the river will be monopolized in the future. But after all, it is just like the poor helpers who carry goods on the wharf outside the city. There is no place to take advantage of the slightest speculation. The rush and rain are tiring to earn hard money. Besides, there are so many wealthy merchants in the world. Once others see you making so much money, they will inevitably invest huge amounts of money to build cargo ships and join in the competition for this business opportunity. Brother Qi's pressure will inevitably get worse day by day. This is the simplest truth in business, and Brother Qi must see thoroughly..."

"Not bad!" Qi Mao nodded solemnly.

"In fact, doing business is nothing more than five things. As long as Brother Qi seizes it, it will not only make a big profit, but also be extremely relaxed! The business scripture says: Those who want money should observe the five things. One is benevolence, two choose the place, three respond to the time, four observe people, and five distinguish things. Yang once talked about these five things with Brother Qi, and Brother Qi also made great profits. Now it is the day to go. If Brother Qi sends his daughter to the Women's College, he will become a famous merchant in the world in the future and earn countless gold, silver and treasures!"

Although Qi Mao was moved, he obviously did not understand the meaning.

"Oh, Brother Qi, do you really need Yang to say it clearly!" Yang Kun sighed again, "Your daughter, the princess and the beautiful wife of Qinghehou, will definitely think about the friendship between classmates no matter what kind of life the princess and Qinghehou plan to invest in in the future. This is a benefit and connection. Secondly, in addition to reading, literacy, singing and dancing, the professors of the Women's College also have different courses such as painting, garment making, embroidery, etc. Qinghehou will not be aimless in doing things. Did Brother Qi see the clothes sold in Qinghe shops?"

"I've seen it! Many clothes seem strange, but they are much simpler to wear, such as today's narrow-sleeved robe and skirt. They also add buckles, copper buckles, bone buckles and a lot of decorations, which are very novel and unique. I have bought a set for my wife, but she is shy and dare not wear them out to show her to others..." Qi Mao nodded slightly blushing.

"I dare not wear it out today, just to be shy, but these weird and novel clothing nowadays will surely become popular in the next few years. In the future, will Brother Qi think you can make a profit?"

"It will inevitably make a profit!" Qi Mao nodded without hesitation.

"If your daughter is proficient in making this new style of clothing, you can seize the opportunity. With the support of all the princesses and Qinghehou, Brother Qi can open a garment store throughout the Qin Dynasty. Brother Qi thinks how much profit can he make?"

"Hiss~" Qi Mao's saliva dripped directly onto his clothes.

As a fairly qualified businessman, you naturally don’t need to think about it and know the joints. With such a strong connection and the latest technology, if you don’t get rich, you can just buy a piece of tofu and kill it. Nowadays, tofu on the street is very cheap, one yuan a dollar, not only enough to eat, but also full!

"Okay, since Brother Qi has realized it, Kun said goodbye!" Yang Kun stood up and bowed.

"Brother Yang is here, thank you today for coming to wake up Qi. I need to prepare a reward for your kindness!" Qi Mao stood up and grabbed Yang Kun's sleeve again.
