King Zhao treated guests very attentively. Each merchant had his own separate room in the Zhao Palace. Businessmen who came with him could also ask the palace officials to live in the same courtyard. Shu'er originally thought that the person invited by King Zhao was Chengyu.

There were more than a dozen merchants in the palace, including himself and Lin Ying. Unexpectedly, not counting the book boys, cart drivers, maids, servants and rare guards, there were a total of 60 merchants from all over the country.

These sixty merchants were either well-known and respected families in the Chen, Song, Shu, Chu, and Zhao countries, or they were rising stars in the business world like Shu'er. The dozen or so people who entered Chengyu Hall that day were from these sixty merchants.

Among the outstanding ones, they were selected one by one by King Zhao.

Shu'er, Lin Ying, Qingyu, and Yifeng were led into an elegant courtyard with a small bridge and flowing water. There were four small rooms in the courtyard, and they happened to have one room each. The four of them were in this exquisite small courtyard.

After walking around for a while, they assigned a room, put down their luggage, and sat at the four stone tables in the courtyard, waiting for the palace officials to take them to dinner.

Lin Ying smiled and said: "King Zhao's harem is really empty, Ruye is empty. No wonder sixty businessmen from the five countries, plus the various guards and servants they brought, can live in this peaceful and empty city in an orderly manner.

In the palace."

Shu'er felt that they had their own independent courtyard, so he was not as restrained as he was in front of the merchants just now, and said with a smile: "Isn't King Zhao crying about poverty? In fact, he could rent out the empty Zhao Palace, or renovate it.

It would not be a bad idea to open a big inn. By operating this way, he would not only be able to support the people in the palace, but he and his sister would also be able to have good food and clothing. In a few years, he would save more money and renovate the palace.

Expand it and turn it into the most luxurious inn in Kyushu, with all the necessary facilities for food, drink and entertainment. We will hold a Pingliang Chamber of Commerce every year so that big businessmen from all over the world can come to Zhao to spend money. One day, maybe Zhao will become extremely rich."

Lin Ying tapped the stone table with her fingers, nodded and said: "Hurry up and write down this good strategy, and write it into the 'business strategy' that will be presented in three days. It will definitely make King Zhao shine and treat our boss Yan.

Amazing."

Shu'er thought for a while and said: "Boss Su is right. I meant it as a joke, but when I think about it carefully, it is indeed a good idea to find a new way. Those old stubborns in the business world may come up with many flashy strategies to revive Zhao.

State commerce, but after walking around and listening to what King Zhao just said, I feel that what Zhao needs to change is the attitude of the people. To say it well, it means living and working in peace and contentment, but to say it bad, in fact, it is

Being short-sighted and complacent with the status quo, I always felt that there would be another war between Chen and Song one day. It would be best to harvest more food as soon as possible before the war to enrich the family's granary. Other businesses were not as reliable as the family's fertile land.

In fact, the people of Zhao State seem to live a stable life, but in fact they are anxious and do not live casually. They were frightened by the Chen-Song War more than 20 years ago. Furthermore, the King of Zhao himself lived such a simple life.

The common people have never seen the prosperity outside, so how can they have any ambition to do business?"

Lin Ying stretched out and said: "As expected of Boss Yan, he is quick in thinking and sharp to the point. It seems that we don't have to worry about the content of this plan in the next three days."

Shu'er shook his head helplessly: "I never thought that Boss Su would worry about this matter."

Lin Ying said with a smile: "All living beings have their own strengths and weaknesses, and each of them must perform their own duties. I don't have the eyes and brains like your God of Wealth. Even if I rack my brains and my black hair turns white, within three days, I will

I can't think of any good way to make money. But I also have my uses. Don't you want to renovate Zhao Palace? Why don't I draw a 'Ninghe Palace Picture' to embellish your plan? What do you think?

?”

Shu'er paused for a moment and said gently: "Xiaoying, without those ingenious containers you designed, our Biliang cosmetics would not have become famous overnight. If it hadn't been for you to snap up this bottle for me on the Fanjing black market,

Wang Jian, there is no way that I would be targeted by ten sects and eight factions in Xiling, nor would I be able to get the exclusive right to sell Biliang Ningxiang given to us by the King of Shu so smoothly. If it weren’t for you seemingly watching with cold eyes every time

But in fact, it is impossible for our business to grow bigger and bigger at such a fast speed based on carefully thought-out suggestions.”

Lin Ying was suddenly embarrassed by the praise. Her voice was lowered, but there was a sense of pride: "I naturally know my benefits."

Shu'er patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just hope you know that I also know."

Lin Ying smiled nonchalantly. They grew up together, and Shu'er's sister confided in him and trusted him. He had actually known about it for a long time. After knowing her life experience, he listened with concern to the story about the princess of Song Dynasty in the tea house and restaurant.

Mysterious rumors, but no matter whether she is his blood cousin or not, their friendship no longer needs to be limited to sworn homage, blood relationship or business partners. He knows that he does not dislike women, but the relationship between him and Shu'er

, if there is any trace of love between men and women, it will be a profanation of the most innocent and sincere time in these years.

A palace servant came over and saluted them: "Four distinguished guests, lunch has been prepared in the garden. Please follow me."

Lin Ying was happy on the journey and couldn't get rid of her habit of talking too much. She whispered to Shu'er: "King Zhao is really approachable. Look at the people in the Zhao Palace. They can come and go, unlike Chen."

The palace and the Chu Palace are so hierarchical."

Shu'er glared at him and said: "I told you to talk less. You will definitely sit with businessmen from all over the world for dinner later. Don't keep commenting on King Zhao's superiority and his shortcomings. It seems that we are richer than King Zhao."

You can comment on him. He is the king of a country. How can you be bold enough to keep talking?"

Lin Ying said happily: "I didn't say anything bad about him. Besides, in Chengyu Hall just now, I was drinking tea while listening to his nagging. Didn't he not care at all? He also asked everyone to be more casual. And, not only you

He, Qingyu, and Yifeng each took a sword. I also saw other merchants’ guards in the palace also holding weapons. King Zhao turned a blind eye to these weapons that could hurt him, and obviously he didn’t care what I said about him.

A few words."

Shu'er sighed and stopped arguing with him. She knew that although Lin Ying was fond of gossip and good at making noises, he was never confused about major matters. For example, he could keep her secret for so many years about her life experience.

The garden of Zhao Palace is overflowing with fragrance, and all kinds of flowers are blooming. This pastoral spring scene is probably the most luxurious place in Ninghe Palace. Shu'er couldn't help but slander King Zhao: "It seems that King Zhao doesn't like farming, but likes growing flowers.
