Cui Hao was drunk a lot of wine today. In the afternoon, the sun set and the couple took a carriage to rush back.

After getting on the carriage, Cui Hao sat upright and breathed a sigh of relief. Zi Lan was stunned.

He pointed at him, "Oh, you lied, you were not drunk."

Cui Hao couldn't help laughing, "It's almost done. If I don't pretend to be drunk, I will be really drunk. Your brother is so good at drinking."

Zi Lan laughed loudly, took out the anti-alcohol medicine from the small drawer of the carriage and handed it to him.

"Take it, it's very useful. You're so cunning."

Cui Hao approached her, kissed her in the face, and smiled proudly, "Of course, I can't let him get me drunk, I can't lose to him."

"You two are really..."

Zi Lan shook her head helplessly.

I went back to the mansion to report to my grandmother that Cui Hao had indeed drunk a lot of wine and rested early, but he did not forget yesterday's promise that he would never forget the meat eating.

After several days of adaptation and familiarity, Zi Lan learned almost everything about the Cui family through archives.

The dowry was also sorted out, and I found several isolated books and threw them to Cui Hao for fun.

The study room was moved over, and Zilan began to think about the market.

Mu Xiang came to the study, "Master, this is the contract from a shop that Zhou Yi wants to come. You have to count your dowry after you have left your account."

"Oh, let it go first, and then go back and deal with it."

"Okay, there is also the butler in front of the prince and come to your house. The old man asked you to come over and talk about the market."

"The person is here, the emperor agrees?"

Zi Lan raised her head from the account book.

"I don't know, the butler is here, I think it's almost done."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Zi Lan stood up, sorted out her wrinkled clothes, put together the jade hairpin on her head, took the prepared notebook and went to the old man's study in the next yard.

The servant was waiting at the door, and when he saw someone, he quickly bent down and saluted, "Second Grandma, I'm waiting for you."

He knocked on the door and let the person in, closed the door again, guarding outside the door without disturbing people.

It was already afternoon, and the men were all back from the ministry, Cui Yu, Cui Jian and Cui Hao were all there, and there was also the butler of the Tenth Prince's Mansion.

"I've met the county lord."

"You are kind to you, butler, please sit down."

"Then I will explain to the emperor first. The emperor and the princes have studied your things and found them very interesting. You can try it and let the tenth prince cooperate with you to get this done.

However, this market is first under the control of the Ministry of Revenue and cannot be included in the treasury at present. The income must be subject to the Ministry of Revenue, and a group of people cannot share the profits."

Zi Lan thought about it and nodded, "Yes, in fact, this market itself doesn't make much money. It mainly increases convenience in trade and can drive many related stores and businesses."

"Yes, the emperor also takes this interest. This may be an opportunity. You have the final say in how to do it. The emperor will pay for the money or whether it needs people or money. This time you can't let you pay the money."

Zi Lan raised her eyebrows, "Don't try to fool me into paying for money."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Since that's the case, prepare first. I calculated the accounts and wrote some things. Take a look and go back to learn the tongue. I can't take it away. I haven't finished it yet."

What rules do Zilan need to do in the market, how to do it, and how much it costs, are explained very clearly.

"It turns out that we can summon merchants to pay for it. Can we give it?"

The butler felt enlightened after reading it.

"Go to gather some people first, it is best to be the ones you trusted by the prince, and you can give some preferential conditions.

For example, for a few years, the rent is exempted, and the others will drop in turn, and they will not want to come in the end. If you think about it, you will have to pay the full rent and you can only sign a contract for one year."

"Oh, a good method. This will attract popularity and quickly build the stall. We don't have to pay a lot of money. Borrow chickens and lay eggs, right?"

The butler applauded.

"Yes, that's what it means. In the end, it will benefit ordinary people, make it more convenient for them, and can also buy and sell each other to earn some money to support their families.

The last type is a temporary stall, which collects money per month or day, and is used by ordinary people to go to the market. You can make a little profit if you have your own prey or set up a small stall. If you don’t have much capital, you can try this method first.

Part of the rent is used for market management and personnel, as well as necessary maintenance, fire prevention and theft cleaning, and other things that require people to do.

The rest are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, and the people in the yamen are asked to send people to patrol regularly to avoid quarrels and fights."

"Okay, after thinking about it, I've basically understood it. So, can I copy one? Let's have an explanation to the prince when I go back."

"Yes, I have to think about the things carefully before I can report to the prince later. Now when I go back, I can get a rich businessman to prepare.

You can work first. The place must choose an open space in the city. The streets that everyone often goes to are not far from the market, otherwise no one will go. This is the prince who needs to find a way."

Zi Lan explained a few important things.

"Don't worry, I understand. I will definitely transfer it."

The housekeeper copied down all the things Zi Lan wrote and went back to report.

After the housekeeper left, Cui Jian asked Zilan, "Niece-in-law, how much money do you think this market can make?"

"I don't make much money, not as many martial arts venues, but when it's convenient to buy and sell, it can drive a lot of things. With a fixed place, you can do business for years and years, and it's true that it's increasing a lot of income."

"Oh, this is a benefit to the people."

"Yes, I have something to do. I have to collect taxes from people who rent platforms all year round, but short-term rentals don't have to pay, and short-term rentals are all ordinary people.

They have no oil and water, so they need to be watched by the Ministry of Revenue and the yamen. Don’t let businessmen take advantage of loopholes and steal the opportunity for ordinary people to point sesame points."

"Sure, I'll arrange this."

Cui Jian is from the Ministry of Works and is responsible for these trivial matters.

“It is an introduction and my bait, to see how many big fish I can catch back.

The market is in my own hands, and I make it prosperous. All the raw materials for buying and selling are in my hands, and they are coming to ask me."

Zilan said to herself that she could sell food, drink, defecation and urination in the market and wholesale, but she just held her hands?

Cui Jian glanced at his elder brother Cui Yu, stretched out his thumb, and showed an expression of admiration.

"What are you going to do next? Do you have any plans? If you need someone, just talk."

"I want to lay a net, just like a kite flying far away, but the rope is in my hand, and it has to be controlled by me. I don't want to see people's faces, I want them to come and ask me.

Next, I will control the wealthy businessmen and chambers of commerce in Jiangnan. I mean at least 80% of the big farmers will unite to support me. I chose my grandfather’s sister Xuaner, who is the Zhao family. I plan to cut into her."

"The candidate is also good, as long as you are willing to work."

Mr. Cui also nodded slightly. All he needed was a person who took the lead, with the interests following him, and there was no need to worry about no one following him.
