Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 324: Scarcity makes things valuable, and all merchants are dishonest

Yishou Palace.

The news from the Prince's Mansion reached the palace.

"Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince's wife has sold out all our people." The old eunuch whispered, looking up at the Queen Dowager's reaction, and then continued, "They were sold by human traffickers. These people were taken away like animals, and I'm afraid they will never be able to return to the imperial capital."

"Do you still want to redeem them?" the Queen Mother asked coldly.

The old eunuch knelt down immediately out of fear, "Queen Dowager, calm down."

"Get up, this is none of your business. Ji Chuhe is even bolder than I thought! She has driven everyone out of the Prince's Mansion, so I can no longer care about these people."

The Queen Mother leaned back into the recliner and closed her eyes.

Immediately, a palace maid came forward to massage her head.

"Ji Chuhe." The Queen Mother murmured softly.

"Since she dared to provoke me, don't blame me for taking action against her. The position of the Crown Prince's wife does not belong to her in the first place."

……

Ji Chuhe's spice shop opened with great fanfare.

Chunsheng is also preparing to take the caravan on his second business mission.

"Madam, why don't you bring more spices? These things don't take up space and are easy to store. No matter where you go, you can sell them at a high price. I think you will make a lot of money if you bring more!"

Chunsheng had only a small box in his hand, which contained thirty fragrant pills.

"Look, my shop is so big. Anyone who wants to buy spices can come and buy them at any time, right?" Ji Chuhe asked with a smile.

Chunsheng shook his head.

This is also one of the things he doesn't understand.

There are so many people who want to buy spices, so why doesn't Madam make more? Instead, the spices in the shop are often out of stock.

Bookings are now open.

He took a look at the list and saw that it was already scheduled for three months later!

Just like these fingernail-sized incense pills in his hands, the fragrance can last for half a year. They can be put in an incense bell and carried with you, and a scented breeze will be brought with them wherever you go.

If placed in a hollow incense bell, the fragrance will evaporate faster and last about half a year.

If you put it in a sachet with better sealing, you can probably still smell the fragrance for a year. However, if you put it in the sachet, the fragrance will not be easy to dissipate and you won't be able to smell the fragrance when you walk.

It depends on what effect the user wants to achieve.

At present, this grain is sold for one tael of silver.

Chunsheng didn't know what the cost was.

The cost is only one-third.

In fact, this is an inconspicuous and highly profitable industry.

Compared to other precious spices, this price is not expensive.

"Chunsheng, what do you think is the most important thing for a businessman to have?"

"Integrity?"

"It's not enough to just be honest. Isn't there a saying that all businessmen are dishonest?"

Chunsheng was stunned.

"If I supply enough, anyone can buy them at any time, and these spices will be worthless."

"Ma'am, I understand. Scarcity makes things valuable!"

"Yes, I am a profiteer by doing this. The harder something is to obtain, the more precious it is. Another point is that if we don't spare some time to wait, other spice shops will have no business at all. This is also the kindness that businessmen should have. We cannot cut off others' livelihoods just for our own benefit."

"Madam, I understand!" Chunsheng looked at Ji Chuhe with admiration.

He has already done some business outside and can be considered a traveler. It is really shameful that he still needs his wife's advice on some things.

"The spices you have are sold for one tael of silver this time. The second time, it will be three taels of silver. If the demand still exceeds the supply, the price will be raised to five taels! Then, like me, you can place an order in advance with a deposit of two taels of silver."

"I understand! I only saw the benefits of this trip and didn't prepare for the future!"

"If these spices can really become popular and be loved everywhere, they will also boost the other items in our caravan."

"Yeah!" Chunsheng nodded vigorously.

He never doubted this.

"I think Erniu should go with you this time. After he is trained, he will also lead a caravan on his own in the future."

"Yes, ma'am, that's what I meant."

Dong Ling walked out from the inner room with a thick stack of documents in her hand.

Chunsheng immediately bowed to Ji Chuhe and said, "Madam, I will withdraw first."

"Yeah." Ji Chuhe responded softly.

"Madam, these are all our reservation documents. I have sorted them out and recorded them according to the dates." Dong Ling handed a booklet to Ji Chuhe.

This is the recording method Ji Chuhe taught her.

Date: The first day of the twelfth lunar month, a total of 3,200 pills, the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a total of 2,557 pills, the first day of the twelfth lunar month, a total of 4,160 pills...

The first day of the winter month is the earliest batch of reservations.

Now, it's time to start preparing.

Ji Chuhe looked at the booklet in front of him with a slightly furrowed brow.

"Madam, is there something wrong?" Dong Ling asked in a low voice.

"Dong Ling, you need to practice your handwriting more when you have free time."

Dong Ling's cheeks turned red instantly, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"However, in such a short time, you have already learned to write so many characters. That's great!"

As soon as the lady praised him, Dong Ling’s confidence returned immediately!

"Ma'am, you have to believe me, I can definitely improve my handwriting!"

"After sorting these out, there will basically be nothing to do in the shop, and you don't have to come to the shop every day."

"Then I will seize the time to learn to recognize and practice writing! I will try to recognize all the characters and be able to write them all!" Dong Ling is now as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

“When you have time, go and see the prince.” Ji Chuhe suddenly said.

Dong Ling's little face fell all of a sudden.

Why are we suddenly talking about this topic when we are so happy?

"Liao Yunfei has been courting the prince recently."

"This bitch! She saw that Madam and I were busy with the shop and wanted to take advantage of the situation! Hasn't the prince been practicing martial arts in the yard to vent his anger recently?

"Yes, so Liao Yunfei was rejected every time. However, if a man pursues a woman, it will take a lot of effort, and if a woman pursues a man, it will take a lot of effort. The prince has never had anyone to serve him. After a long time, I am afraid that Liao Yunfei will really succeed."

"Madam is right. The prince is a soft-hearted person! What he can't stand the most is that others rely on him and treat him well. That kind of kindness is nothing in the eyes of others, but it can move him! Wasn't the second young master and Xu Yan'er like this?"

Ji Chuhe pointed to the side and said, "It was just delivered by Zhenbaofang. Let's see if you like it."

Dong Ling immediately stepped forward and opened the box.

"Wow!" It almost blinded me!

A gold necklace inlaid with colored gemstones, it must be a set with the bracelet from last time.

This necklace is more than twice as heavy as that bracelet!

Madam, how can you be so considerate! I know people like this kind of shiny and bright things!

"Madam, if there is nothing else in the shop, I will go back home first!"
