Chapter 270: Time to Get Started
The people see food as their heaven!
At this moment, Wei Wushang fully realized the terrifying aspect of this saying.
If each city within Daxia had such cheap food shops, the money earned in a month would fearlessly reach tens of thousands of silver. The key point is, this ten thousand silver is just the base amount.
Moreover, the most important thing is that these cheap food shops easily consolidate public sentiment!
"Alright, let me know once you’ve discussed with the old general!"
Yuan Yindi came to find Wei Wushang, considering the many advantages of the cheap food shops. He thought that if this business were to spread throughout Daxia, the royal family might want to get involved.
Perhaps, even the eighteen Yuan Family’s Cheap Food Shops in the six cities of Neishi County might be taken over by the royal family.
However, Yuan Yindi did not dwell too much on it. After all, thinking too much is useless.
...
After sending Yuan Yindi off, Wei Wushang immediately sought out Mr. Wei Huo, the stabilizing force of the Wei Family.
"This matter is quite significant, you should consult your uncle!"
Upon hearing the situation from Wei Wushang, Wei Huo thought for a brief moment before giving his opinion. As for himself, he did not express any personal views on the cheap food shops.
Just as Wei Wushang was leaving, Wei Huo added, "These cheap food shops can be opened in our Daxia, and they should also work in Great Yin and Beili!"
With the old man’s words, Wei Wushang instantly understood.
Wei Wushang was the youngest son of Wei Dingjiang, the eldest legitimate son of Wei Huo, and his wife was the Eldest Princess of the current dynasty. In other words, Wei Wushang’s uncle was the current Emperor Xia.
As Wei Wushang entered the palace to present his intentions to Emperor Xia, Emperor Xia was quite perplexed.
Regarding the Yuan Family’s Cheap Food Shops by Yuan Yindi, Emperor Xia was naturally aware. He always thought that Yuan Yindi, this Imperial Advisor, was not good at business, having chosen such an unprofitable venture.
But now, Emperor Xia felt a little embarrassed.
However, as an emperor, he had a thick skin and quickly composed himself.
"What does your grandfather mean?"
Emperor Xia looked at his young nephew with a solemn and calm expression, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.
"Grandfather asked me to consult with you, oh, and he said that these cheap food shops can earn money in our Daxia, and should also be feasible in Beili and Great Yin."
"Indeed!"
Emperor Xia’s eyes brightened instantly.
Opening such food shops in Great Yin and Beili, making money is secondary; the key is winning over the people’s hearts.
With the people’s sentiment in favor, the resistance to Daxia unifying the empire would be greatly reduced.
"Wushang, handle this affair!"
"Do it well!"
"Your uncle will back you!"
Even though the tens of thousands of silver income per month was tempting to Emperor Xia, he was willing to let it go for the sake of Daxia’s grand ambitions.
"Uncle, should we also establish them in Beili and Great Yin?"
"Do it!" Emperor Xia nodded, "Business is business, no matter where it’s conducted!"
"However, as for Beili and Great Yin, you should not get involved; I’ll make arrangements for that."
"I understand!"
Wei Wushang quickly understood his uncle’s intention, planning to dig a pitfall in Beili and Great Yin. These matters were truly not suitable for him and Yuan Yindi to meddle in.
After all, if the news were to leak, neither Beili nor Great Yin would let it slide.
This task was suitable for the royal secret espionage agents.
Making money and causing trouble, both without delay.
Upon leaving the palace, Wei Wushang headed straight to the Yuan Family, to discuss the specific operational steps with Yuan Yindi.
This is a lucrative opportunity that must be put into place before others catch on. Otherwise, the initiative would be lost.
