After hearing Zhang Ran's words, Liu Che was also moved, so he pondered: "Your worries hit the pros and cons, and I also deeply feel the same... Zhao Qing, what do you think?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he hesitated for a moment and bowed to him, "Reply to Your Majesty, although my young mansion often sells a lot of goods to foreign countries for wealth to fill the treasury, most of the goods are exquisite and expensive, so the common people are out of reach. Only the fruits, vegetables, fish, shrimps and other things produced in Shanglinyuan will be transported to the east and west markets for sale and low prices to the common people, but due to seasonal limitations, it is not often found.

Therefore, as Xiaolang said, the goods produced by my Shaofu rarely involve daily needs of the common people in the city, so they are not good at this."

In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Zhao Yu did not directly answer agree or object, but instead explained the situation of the Shaofu to Liu Che one by one. The purpose was to let Liu Che make a judgment based on the situation.

However, although Zhao Yu did not clearly support Zhang Ran's statement, some support was revealed in his words, but it was not that obvious.

After listening to Zhao Yu's narration, Liu Che couldn't help but agree with Zhang Ran's statement, but what Zhang Ran asked for was a big deal and had a wide range of connections. Moreover, Liu Che was also confused about Zhang Ran's ability, so Liu Che was still a little confused.

So, Liu Che thought for a while, then asked Zhang Ran: "Zhang Qing, I already know your predicament. However, you have not yet reached the top, can you understand the way of business?"

"The way of business? Isn't it just about doing business?" Zhang Ran secretly curled his lips and bowed to Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty, although I am young, I have a little experience in the way of business. I dare not say that I am better than Tao Zhu, but I am still very confident in earning some wealth for Your Majesty!"

After a pause, Zhang Ran suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If Your Majesty is to give me the right to act cheaply, I would like to assure you that you can earn a hundred gold in the next three months! When the sales channels of my Workshop Garden are laid out, I dare to assert that my Workshop Garden will get at least one hundred gold per month in the future!"

In order to gain independent management rights, Zhang Ran made up his mind and threw out a huge bait for a hundred gold coins a month to Liu Che. It’s very simple. As long as you are willing to give me enough authority, I can earn more wealth for you!

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Ran's words, Liu Che was slightly moved. Although Liu Che did not see the mere 100 gold, if he could get 100 gold every month, even Liu Che could not ignore it!

What's more, Liu Che was very curious. Zhang Ran was only sixteen years old now and had not yet reached the championship. Where did he get the confidence that he dared to compare himself with Tao Zhu?

So, Liu Che looked at Zhang Ran with interest and said with a smile: "I never thought that Zhang Qing was still proficient in management, but I underestimated you? Zhang Qing, can you tell me about your management?"

"I want to take the exam for me!"

Faced with Liu Che's inquiry, Zhang Ranyi was not afraid and replied confidently: "Report to Your Majesty, my business method is not the same as the business method of ordinary merchants!

The way of business business is to buy low and sell high, hoard goods, and sell them several times according to market needs. Although this move can make the world's wealth and economy prosperous, it is not made out of nothing, but just to make use of regional differences, trade and earn the difference in price. Therefore, merchants are inevitably more important than profit, and there are people with inferior character who take the opportunity to exploit the people and harm society.

However, what I rely on for my business is the benefit of technology. I invented and developed new technologies such as wool garments, bean oil pressing, etc., and rely on this technology to produce large quantities of goods and sell them to the people at a low price. In this way, the people get their goods, and the minister gets their wealth, which is a win-win situation!

Moreover, the minister's workshop relies on the hands and sweat of the craftsmen to process the materials into wool cloth and soybean oil. The wool cloth and soybean oil they produce are wealth in themselves.

It’s like a farmer farms, farms, cultivates in spring, and harvests in summer, and relies on their sweat to obtain rice and grain. The rice and grain itself is wealth. For example, a woman raises silkworms and reels silk and weaves silk threads into cloth, which is also wealth itself.

Therefore, the way of business business is to make money by trading, exchange of existence and non-existence, and the way of business is to create new wealth with both hands! Although the two are the same way of business, they cannot be compared with each other!

Moreover, I have confidence that my ways are better than ordinary merchants, and the wealth I can earn for Your Majesty will also be higher than that of ordinary merchants!”

"Great kindness!" After hearing Zhang Ran's words, Liu Che praised Zhang Ran's high and also admired Zhang Ran's ideas very much. In Liu Che's opinion, merchants buying low and selling high are undoubtedly very annoying. However, what Zhang Ran does is to create new wealth, which can make money without hurting the people, but can benefit the people as well. This undoubtedly makes Liu Che very much like this!

When Zhang Ran heard Liu Che's praise, he felt a little guilty. In fact, Zhang Ran's words seemed very reasonable, but there was some suspicion of changing concepts. Because the analogy made by Zhang Ran was essentially a comparison of industry and commerce, and such comparisons were obviously asymmetric... Moreover, the benefits of over-examination of industry and the harm of business! In other words, Zhang Ran compared the strengths of industry and the shortcomings of commerce, so he naturally came to the conclusion that industry is better than commerce.

However, although this comparison is biased, it is very consistent with the current mainstream perception. In the eyes of most people, what businessmen do is nothing more than mutual communication, and they do not create wealth and value like agriculture and industry... In addition, merchants seek profits and value profits, so people have a lot of dislikes about merchants and have good feelings for agriculture and handicrafts. The strategies implemented are naturally to emphasize agriculture and suppress business!

Zhang Ran's words undoubtedly touched Liu Che, and the scene described by Zhang Ran also gave Liu Che sufficient confidence in his "management method".

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Liu Che happily adopted Zhang Ran's suggestion and said to him: "Since Zhang Qing has this confidence, it's okay for me to let you give it a try!"

After a pause, Liu Che said "seriously" again: "But, Zhang Qing! You can agree to your request, but your guarantee must be done! Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to all officials and ministers!"

Hearing Liu Che's "recommendation", Zhang Ran looked solemn and immediately bowed to Liu Che, saying, "Your Majesty, I am willing to issue a military order. If I cannot earn a hundred gold for Your Majesty within three months, then I am willing to be severely punished and pay for all my property!"
