Zhang Xiaobao's order was issued. The fleet slowly passed.

The local food seller suddenly found that new colleagues joined in. They didn't know any of the people who joined later, but the price was one-third more expensive than theirs, and they all felt relieved, thinking that there was no possibility of competition.

As a result, when these people came to sell again the next day, they actually pulled up slogans on the boat, saying that they were not accurate, that is, what their food was like.

With this kind of straightforward text description, many owners who have not eaten well all the way have really started to buy it for those who are on the boat.

Looking at the crew members who bought food on the big boat and ate it, it turned out that the people who sold the food had a little more worry. This place was too close to Yizhou, and ships coming from elsewhere would dock on the dock in Yizhou.

At that time, people from all ships will chat casually. When talking about the food here, I guess the people on the ship who heard about it would choose the food-selling ship that appeared afterwards. After all, the food is really good. After seeing it, I thought it was better than I sold it, and it was more cost-effective to buy it.

When I felt worried in my heart, the original people began to gather together to discuss solutions, hoping to reverse the harsh situation that I was going to face.

"Brother Zhang, this is not right." A woman in charge of rocking the boat shouted to the person on a small boat that was leaning over.

The person she called out waved his oars twice, weakened the waves of water swept across, pursed his lips, and said after a moment, "I can't beat them, can you see? There are twelve small boats that belong to them, the new boat. I didn't see them yesterday. They should have just come from Yizhou, and they have a strong foundation."

Judging from his words, he wanted to use force to solve the problem before, but now he understands it clearly. He dares not. He has a team and has sent a new ship.

What he couldn't figure out was who organized a group of people, did not do anything else, and went to buy a boat and came to grab a deal. He also estimated that according to the words he typed, it would be good if he could not make much money, and it would be good if he could make a profit of 10% or 20%.

Wouldn’t it be thankless to eat this bowl of rice on the river?

After thinking about it, he decided to go over and ask, and see what was going on. It would be better to find someone who can talk about it and discuss it with others. Don’t compete viciously, right. Viciously competitive, this word is good.

So he rowed the boat and leaned over. When the family delivered a few buckets of food to the boat, he took it down and received the money. He tried to squeeze out a smile and greet him: "This little brother, the food is selling well?"

"It's okay, I'll give you a good word." The young man on the boat smiled much more sincerely, but there was no sign on his clothes. There was not even the brand mark of the ready-to-wear store in some places.

‘What auspicious words, I wish your boat had overturned’ Lao Zhang cursed inwardly, and thought about it, and said, “Brother, it’s not easy for everyone to have a meal on the river. Let’s discuss it. Can you adjust the food you sell? Everyone sells the same price, and the same price?”

"This... what I said doesn't count. I personally agree with your statement. It's good to adjust it. It's better for you to learn from us and raise the price slightly by then. Now we're making too little money, and your low prices and low quality disrupt the market."

The young man on the boat still had the same sincere smile, but what he said made Lao Zhang very angry. It was obviously your later, why did you push the mistake at us?

"I'm talking about it, what you sell is so good."

"Oh, I dare not continue to say that, is it that I still selling things? Isn't that a lie? To put it bluntly, I saw that the food you sold was not in good shape and the things inside were not well packed. Brother, do you still sell egg flower soup? I saw that the egg flower was beaten and every spoon was scooped up, and there were egg flowers in thin strips, plus a few rotten vegetable leaves. You can't do this business.

At first glance, your eggs are beaten into cold water, then stirring them hard, and then cooking them will be the same as what you sell. And if the water is not boiled, people will lose their stomachs after eating them."

The young man slowly swung his oars, preventing the water from rushing away the position of the boat.

Lao Zhang was puzzled when he saw the other party’s skillful movements of placing paddles. He was so young and had never seen them before, so why wasn’t he washed away by water?

What surprised and frightened him even more was that the other party actually knew how his unique egg flower soup was made. It was something he thought about for a long time before he figured it out, and the person who was selling rice on the river did not tell him.

When someone said that, he would explain a few more words: "Eating can't hurt your stomach. Usually, they scoop water in the river when they are thirsty when they travel on a boat. Raw water will not hurt your stomach, let alone hot water."

"That is to say, you admit that your water has not boiled?" At this time, the young man's smile disappeared. He never thought that the people who were harmonious and helped each other began to become 'smart'. He did not want to improve the quality of his things, but used tricks to harm the people passing by.

"It's open, it's open, can it become a flower without blooming eggs?" Lao Zhang quickly denied. He didn't know why he was afraid of the other party's angry eyes.

He said in panic again: "You have given them food, and they can't remember your good things. They go on a boat and go back and forth, but I don't know when I will meet again. They all come from a very far place. Why fight with us locals yourself? Right?"

The young man lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and did not say anything again. Instead, he greeted other boats, asking them to keep the price down to the same level as other boats' meals, lose money, sell it as soon as possible, and then return to the boat, dock, send a report to the young master and the young lady, and explain the matter clearly.

*******

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan just finished calligraphy class for their younger brothers and sisters today. The nine little guys didn't go back to the cabin and practiced themselves under the parasol on the deck. They didn't complain or worry about fatigue. Instead, they thought it was interesting to write beautifully.

This is the influence of the environment. When you have nothing to do in the inner courtyard of your home, you have to practice calligraphy. If you have the opportunity, you have to study and enrich yourself. Naturally, Xiaobei and the others don’t think that practicing calligraphy is boring. Whenever they find that they are well written, they will be very happy, which is a sense of accomplishment.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were with him, each of whom had a book in his hand, resting while reading, occasionally standing up and walking around his younger brother and sister, and complimenting a few words.

When the people who had been assigned to receive the mission yesterday sent the information back, the two people showed a surprised expression.

"It's too fast, at least one year faster than I imagined. It seems that the people's learning ability and adaptability are very strong, but I forgot. Our nation has a fine tradition, so people have blocked us for more than a hundred years. This tradition is a copycat, which is very powerful."

After reading the information, Zhang Xiaobao did not show an angry expression, nor was he panicked, but instead praised him.

Wang Juan also looked calm and smiled at Zhang Xiaobao, saying, "This shows that he has strong learning ability. He can also reduce costs. Without the previous copycats, there will be no future development. The problem now is not that they love learning and research, but that the moral deviation formed in the pursuit of material life. Don't you keep a backup plan? Take it out and take it out and take it out."

Zhang Xiaobao also laughed, and said, "Or it is not easy to govern the country. If you really become an emperor, you will not only have to calculate the subjects all day long, but also consider every bit of the people's livelihood. How can you still have time to think that we are just like playing.

Well, we will establish a private food association. We will be the leader in various places for a while. After a few years, the association will get on track. If you can't practice, come and listen. Don't look uncomfortable."

Zhang Xiaobao's words later were told to his younger brothers and sisters. When he chatted with Wang Juan, the little guys could not focus on writing and always wanted to participate. The speed of writing was significantly slowed down and gradually lost strength. Xiaoyuan's ears even moved.

Xiaobei and his friends immediately put their pens on their backs, turned around, looked at their brothers and sisters. Xiaobei took the paper of the telegram and was read by each passing day. After reading it, Xiaobei said angrily: "It's too unreasonable. You have to pay attention to integrity when doing business. They clearly ignore other people's health and do things just for money, which is not good."

The other eight children deeply felt the same, and they all tried hard to think about how to change this situation. Over time, people will lose trust. Without trust, it will affect their work efficiency during cooperation.

Xiaoyuan followed and said, "Does our Tang Dynasty inspector give an order to tell them not to do that?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Xiaobao asked Xiaoyuan.

Xiaoyuan considered it and shook his head: "I don't think it's possible. There are not so many supervisors. The most important thing is that there is no industry standard. How to convict them at that time is a problem."

Xiao Bei was also worried. Although she was young, she knew the truth that the law did not blame the public. Now everyone uses poor quality food to make high profits.

Next, from the government to send people to each household to watch? How much administrative costs will it cost? And it also wastes human resources. Otherwise, as long as they don’t keep watching, they will make bad things.

The young man opened his mouth and whispered: "The publicity and education should be strengthened. In the newspaper, it is wrong to do it. The people of our Tang Dynasty must do their best and sell the best food to the crew members along the way."

"How many people do you think are obedient?" Zhang Xiaobao asked the young man again.

"Yes, there are some, it's impossible to listen to them all anyway. You have to make money. And there is no standard for anything that is good or bad, and there is no price standard, so it will still be messy at that time."

The little man thought of himself as a food seller and said in embarrassment.

"So who will set the standards?" Zhang Xiaobao also asked.

"Let's do it at home." The young man felt relieved by his family.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded: "We have to set a standard first. In the future, others will get used to it. Food associations are formed in various places to recruit people from the food industry to join the association, and then discuss a standard together. Everyone cannot pay, but they cannot make too high profits unless it is a rare item."

Wang Juan seemed to agree. This was the fastest solution. If you use other methods for too long, you would have to wait to push the setting of standards to the government. Moreover, the government may not be very familiar with all the problems in the food industry. At that time, you still have to find people in the industry, just follow the government. It is better to guide your own family first.

However, it is not good to always intervene directly. If you don’t change it, you will not do this. Instead, you will adjust slowly and achieve your goal through other means.

"I have a problem." Xiao Bei said: "Assembly established in various places, we can solve the problem according to different specific circumstances in each place. Moreover, my family has a high prestige, but, but, hehehe, is it the kind that all people in the same industry who require them to join, mandatory?"

"It's so right, my Xiaobei said it right." Xiaoyuan shamelessly agreed: "Our association has the standards, and hygiene is particularly important. If someone is unwilling to join, he still uses low prices and inferior quality to impact the market."

"Who belongs to your family? Don't always be thick-skinned." Xiaobei arched Xiaoyuan with his body.

"Aren't we from the whole family? There are brother Xiaohai and the others." Xiaoyuan looked very innocent.

"If you don't talk to you, you will change your concept." Xiaobei asked Xiaoyuan for a moment.

Xiaofang's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, we can establish a concept and establish a concept that everything from our association is the safest, most reliable and most reassuring, which is credibility.

If we don’t add it, we will care about them. The final result is not that they impact the market, but that they lose the market. Think about it, is this the truth.”

As soon as Xiaofang said that, the other little guys began to think about it according to their ideas.

The more you think about it, the more you feel it makes sense.

After the association is established, many people will join in. The association can give all members a logo, so that they can display the logo when they are running a business and tell the buyer that if they buy food from the association member, as long as they feel uncomfortable, the association will investigate.

The investigation result is that compensation will be given because of the food. Although the medical treatment is free, the clinic will not pay the money for losing work due to illness, and the association can pay.

In addition, the members of the association can also communicate in various ways to improve their product competitiveness and reduce costs while ensuring quality. Everyone has cohesion.

It doesn't take long to buy things, and people who buy things will recognize businessmen with association membership, and feel that they can buy such food with confidence and are not afraid of food problems.

For those who do not join the association, even if the price is low, few people are willing to eat it, and there will be a consequence that the higher the price they are, the less others dare to buy it.

Just think about it and you will know that such cheap things are not profitable? They are all philanthropists? It is impossible. Since it makes money, it means that the product is definitely not a good thing. Who dares to buy it and lose your life?

The nine little guys thought of it without much effort, and they all showed happy expressions. It seemed that others had eaten good things and they were in a happy mood.

"We have done another great thing. Brother, why is it so difficult to make the people obedient? It's not easy for everyone to harm others for some money. Why bother to hurt others?"

When Xiao Bei thought of what happened before, he felt sad. Isn’t it okay to live a good life? Then everyone went to deal with people from other countries, snatched their good things, and grabbed their people to do dangerous work.

Xiao Bei thought so. She felt that she had considered it very well and never thought that bullying people from other countries was wrong, let alone thinking, is it easy for others to live?

Zhang Xiaobao knew what his sister thought, so no matter what, if Xiaobei was really so kind and treats everyone well, he would have to conduct special education. Human nature is sinister. The essence of social development is competition. Everyone is harmonious, how can they compete?

But Zhang Xiaobao didn't want his sister to be sad about this little thing, so he said to Xiaobei: "This is the driving force for human development and cannot be eliminated. Once there is no motivation, human beings will be over. Whether it is domestic competition under the constraints of the law or war of aggressiveness against foreign countries, they are actually normal human individuals and group behaviors.

In fact, in this world, the most aggressive thing is not a tiger or a wolf, but a human being. It is said that it is a terrible wolf, but do you say that there are many wolves who die in the hands of people, or do you think that there are many people who die in the mouth of wolves?"

"Of course, many wolves die, they can't beat humans. For example, if I encounter a wolf, the wolf will die because I have a gun. But isn't this because humans can use tools? What does it have to do with invasion?"

Xiao Bei patted her waist, but in fact she didn't wear her gun, which means she had put it there before.

Wang Juan understood Zhang Xiaobao, took the conversation and said to Xiaobei: "Tools are a purpose, but tools are auxiliary. Real people will store a lot of food. There are not many animals in nature that store food, and even if they are stored, they will only store a little.

Even if there is no need to keep fresh, animals that eat rotten food will not store them hard. But people are different. People should keep things hard when they have the opportunity, especially food, such as how much should they store in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Nine years." Xiao Bei stretched out his hand to draw a number: "Three years of drought, three years of flooding, three years of war, and people are terrible. If the family has no accumulation in three years, the family has no family, and the country has no accumulation in nine years. It is difficult for a country to be a country."

"Yes, your brother and I now want to accumulate the grain from the Changping Warehouse in the Tang Dynasty for nine years. Saving it is a problem, but we have been working hard to solve some of it. When we have the conditions in the future, we will build a lot of cold storage and freeze the meat in and store it for a long time.

Then I will no longer be afraid that the people will not be able to eat. Now your brother and I are afraid of large-scale natural disasters. All the food is released, and the disaster is still going on. Your brother and I can’t solve it, but I guess we can’t.”

Wang Juan talked about the storage aspect, which was also the capital for her to dare to start a war. She had too many people but didn’t have that much food reserve. This autumn is when their hunger began. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, if you drag you down for two years, the lives of the people in China will be the same.

Xiao Bei nodded, looking like a happy face. He felt that the country was very stable, just like when she was a child, she had many toys and candies.

"It's true. I used to like storing things, afraid I'll lose it." Xiao Bei said.
