Chapter 185, Balance
Dry Qing Palace.
After approving a batch of papers, the emperor announced Mr. Beifeng who had come over early in the morning and was waiting outside the hall. As soon as the two had spoken, Chu Qian and Chu Yao came.
Seeing that Mr. Beifeng was also there, Chu Qian and Chu Yao were not surprised.
The emperor looked at the two with a smile: "Have you finished reading the paper?"
After saluting, Chu Qian smiled and said: "After reading it, I really found a few students who know how to do business."
The emperor looked interested, and looked at Mr. Beifeng: "Eleven is very good at making money, he thinks it's good, it must be really good, let's listen together."
Chu Qian quickly handed over the test papers of Shi Fuxin, Hu Xinrui, Du Zixuan, and Zhuo Yimian, and Chu Yao also handed over the roster that recorded the family backgrounds of the four in detail.
The emperor glanced at the test paper, and then his eyes fell on the roster: "Shi Fuxin" looked at Chu Yao, "The little girl who fell from the tree and hit you?"
Hearing the teasing in the emperor's tone, Chu Yao touched his nose and nodded: "It's her."
Mr. Beifeng's face remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered.
It's no wonder that girl dared to stop his carriage directly before, and she was straightforward and fair. It seems that there are really two brushes.
The emperor laughed twice: "That girl has left a deep impression on me. If I screw you up, you still have the courage to come here and flatter me. Just being so bold and thick-skinned is suitable for business."
As he spoke, he picked up Shi Fuxin's paper and read it.
"Open a rouge and gouache shop? There are quite a few people doing this in the capital. Many dowry shops of the female relatives of Xungui's family carry this. It may not be easy to make money."
The emperor then looked at the papers of Hu Xinrui and Du Zixuan, and sighed after reading: "Children from ordinary families have a difficult life, and they learn to make a living at a young age."
Mr. Beifeng answered: "Empress Wende founded the National Women's Prison in the past to find a way out for girls from ordinary families, but now the National Women's Prison has fewer and fewer students from ordinary backgrounds."
Hearing this, the emperor glanced at him, didn't say anything, and turned his eyes to the last paper: "Zhuo Yimian Rong Changbo mansion?"
Rongchang Bo Mansion, the emperor thought for a while before remembering which one it was.
Compared to Wuchangbo Mansion, the Zhuo family is really in decline and silence.
Although the Uncle Wuchang’s Mansion is gone, at least there is still Shi Zhengmao who is still an official at court, and Shi Zhengye is also a teacher at Qianji Academy, and the Shi family still has some connections.
As for the Zhuo family, all the men in the family are far away from the court, and there are no male heirs who are well-educated. Mrs. Zhuo does not have a strong psychological endurance like Mrs. Shi, and she can endure the strange eyes of others every month. Don't fall into the palace to meet the queen mother.
This caused the Zhuo family to completely fade out of people's sight in the capital.
The emperor sighed a little, he didn't expect to see the news of Rongchang Bo's mansion again because of a daughter of the Zhuo family.
Suddenly, the emperor thought of the Uncle Wuchang Mansion again, and he remembered the Shi family again, and it seemed that it was also because the Shi family had a Shi Fuxin who was daring to flatter him as soon as they met.
"Whoever said that women are inferior to men, Queen Wende was right."
The emperor looked at the four papers on the imperial case, two girls from the Luobo family and two girls from ordinary families. They are all more motivated to make money than others because their lives are not easy? Are you more talented in business?
"Are there any ladies in the capital who are talented in business?" The emperor looked at Chu Qian.
Chu Qian quickly handed over a dozen answer sheets: "These students' business ideas are not bad, but after reading it, I feel that their ideas are somewhat familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere."
The emperor understood. These people knew the content of the exam in advance, and prepared the answers in advance according to some business books.
Mr. Beifeng knew that the emperor had started to set quotas, so he stepped forward and said, "Your majesty, it is not easy for children from ordinary families to apply for the National Women's Prison, and they need more opportunities."
The emperor looked up at him, and kept writing. Soon, all twenty places were outlined: "Okay, you can take it down and announce it."
Mr. Beifeng took the roster respectfully, and didn't dare to look at it immediately, but waited until he exited the hall before opening the roster and looking at it.
Ten students from the rich and powerful in the capital, and ten students from other places. Among the students from other places, five were from official families, and the other five were from ordinary backgrounds.
"Your Majesty's hand is well balanced."
For this result, Mr. Beifeng can still accept it.
You must know that in previous years, there were almost no students from ordinary families in the business class.
After Mr. Beifeng returned to the National Women's Prison, he directly posted the list of business classes on the bulletin board.
"Dongfang Yunshang, Wei Yinghua, Liu Dailin, Shi Fuxin, Zhuo Yimian"
"Hu Xinrui, Du Zixuan"
Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin came to the bulletin board hand in hand, seeing her own name, Shi Fuxin smiled on her face, and Shi Fuyin was also very happy for her sister.
"I knew you would be fine."
You know, when my younger sister was in Rongcheng, she dared to open a medicine shop, and she was only ten years old at that time.
Shi Fuyin didn't pass the exam, and Shi Fuxin didn't say anything to comfort her, she just said: "Sister, I will take you to earn money together."
Shi Fuyin smiled: "Okay, sister is waiting for you to bring me to earn money together."
She is inferior to her younger sister in many ways, and she discovered this very early on.
However, she has no other ideas about this. My younger sister has my younger sister's advantages, and she also has her own advantages and disadvantages, so she doesn't need to envy her younger sister.
Shi Fuxin memorized the names of the people on the list, and left with Shi Fuyin.
After returning to the uncle's mansion that day, everyone in the Shi family knew that Shi Fuxin had entered the business class, which again exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Sister Xin, the National Women's Supervision Department will provide business students with a free shop to practice their hands, but the free period is only one year. After one year, they will have to hand over money to the National Women's Superintendent according to the contract. Do you want to buy it?" Have you opened any store?"
Regarding business, Mrs. Shi Wu, who was born as a businessman, felt that she had more say than others, so she couldn't wait to ask Shi Fuxin as soon as they met.
Shi Fuxin smiled and said, "Fifth Aunt, I plan to sell rouge and gouache."
Shi Wu's wife frowned: "Sell rouge powder? Sister Xin, it's not that Aunt Wu is throwing cold water on you. There are too many shops selling rouge powder in the capital. If you want to do this kind of business, I'm afraid you won't be able to make money."
Shi Fuxin replied with a smile: "Fifth Aunt, apart from rouge and gouache, I don't know anything else."
Mrs. Shi Wu smiled: "You won't, don't you still have the fifth aunt? My family is in the tea business. Why don't you sell tea? The fifth aunt will cover all the products and sales for you. You just sit and wait." Just cashier."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shi and others in the room showed strange expressions.
The shops provided by the National Women's Prison are basically on the busiest Chang'an Avenue.
The Liu family opened a store in the inner city relying on the property of the fifth child after they got married with the Shi family.
The Shi family was no longer good at that time, so the location of the shop allocated to Lao Wu would not be very good.
If they can open a store on Chang'an Avenue, the Liu family's tea business will definitely be improved to a higher level.
Old Madam Shi glanced at Shi Fuxin, but said nothing.
If it was someone else, she might have stepped forward to stop it, but this girl is extremely shrewd and will not be fooled by Mrs. Liu.
Sure enough, Shi Fuxin refused with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Fifth Aunt, but I still want to sell rouge and gouache. Even if I can't make money, I can still earn experience, so it's not a loss."
Mrs. Shi Wu hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Xin, this business is really not that easy to do. Even if you don't want to make money, have you ever thought about it? If you fail to pay the money next year, the shop will be taken back by the National Women's Supervision of."
"As long as you sell the Liu family's tea, regardless of whether you earn money or not, the Liu family will cover all the money you will pay to the National Women's Supervisor next year."
Shi Fuxin didn't want to continue talking, and said directly: "Fifth Aunt, I only sell rouge and gouache, and don't care about other things." After speaking, she looked at Mrs. Shi, "Grandma, I have something else to do, so I'm going back to the yard first."
Shi the old lady nodded: "If you need help at home, you can come to me, or you can also find your aunt."
Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile: "When I need it, I will."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shi's eyes flickered, this girl politely refused.
Seeing Shi Fuxin leave like this, Mrs. Shi Wu was a little unhappy: "I really thought the business was so easy to do, but it's a pity that the shop on Chang'an Street is gone."
Shi the old lady glanced at her: "Even if Sister Xin doesn't know how to do business, she won the opportunity, and it's up to her to do whatever she wants."
Shi Wu Madam paused: "Isn't it a good intention of mine to sell tea from Liu's family? You don't need to worry about anything, just sit and wait for the cashier. What a wonderful thing."
Shi the old lady shook her head and didn't say much.
Selling tea from the Liu family may indeed be easier, but in this case, it can be regarded as being controlled by the Liu family.
Sister Xin, is that girl willing to be manipulated?
