As for porcelain, the workshop belonged to the Dagan court. He personally had no shares in it and had no rights to open a workshop in Shu.
Moreover, the firing of porcelain requires special materials, and the situation in Shu Kingdom does not meet the requirements.
These two points were well-founded and although Princess Yu Chengzhang was very reluctant, she finally agreed.
In the afternoon, Princess Yu Chengzhang summoned the owners of more than a hundred businesses in the entire imperial capital in the name of the royal treasury.
They all gathered at the Princess's Mansion.
Zhao Hao also participated.
Hundreds of businesses controlled the entire commercial lifeline of the Shu Kingdom and were involved in countless fields.
The channels are spread all over the country, and we even have business in various countries.
Before, these small and medium-sized businesses naturally knew about Zhao Hao’s convening of the four major businesses in Yixian Building.
Now, unexpectedly, the four major businesses did not participate, and the opportunity instead fell to these small and medium-sized businesses.
This is simply a pie in the sky.
Moreover, they knew very well that the reason they were able to participate was definitely because of this Lord Zhao.
Because they are all from Shu and are businessmen.
Her Royal Highness Princess Yucheng's working style has long been clear.
Given the character of Princess Yucheng, not to mention small and medium-sized businesses like theirs, even the four largest businesses would not be allowed in.
Therefore, the owners of these small and medium-sized businesses were excited, and when they looked at Zhao Hao, there was some gratitude in their eyes.
In the courtyard of the Princess's Mansion, more than a hundred masters sat in a row, and a group of maids served tea to each master.
Princess Yu Chengzhang said: "Everyone, this cooperation between the inner treasury and the great Marquis Zhao Hao is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"And all of you are the backbone of our Shu Kingdom's business, in charge of all business and sales channels."
“It covers all industries.”
"So this time, we intentionally included all of you, just to make money together."
"You all understand how rare this opportunity is."
"I hope you will exercise caution."
"If we can catch them, then the scale of your companies will increase several times or even dozens of times, which is nothing."
"Next, let's let Lord Zhao Hao say a few words to everyone."
Upon hearing this, all the big and small bosses burst into thunderous applause.
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and raised his hand to press down.
"My dear bosses, I am Zhao Hao. Although I am still young, I understand the principle of win-win cooperation."
"Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess proposed the idea of letting you all participate. I thought about it for a moment and then agreed."
What Zhao Hao said was quite clever. He did Princess Yu Cheng a great favor in front of the owners of these small and medium-sized businesses.
After a pause, he changed the subject and continued, "Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess did this so that everyone can make money. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is in charge of the royal treasury."
"To some extent, the treasury is the leader of the entire country's business."
"It should play a leading role."
"But I just said that I understand the principle of win-win cooperation, but in fact, those were all false words."
Having said that, Zhao Hao deliberately paused, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
When everyone had almost finished laughing, Zhao Hao continued, "Of course I have a purpose."
"What is my purpose then?"
"I can say it without reservation!"
"Now, I am facing a great war between Southern Chu and Wu."
“A lot of food needs to be purchased.”
"Shu is a major grain-producing country. We need to buy grain from Shu, especially a large amount of grain. We need the help of all the hosts."
"Therefore, today we adopt the regional agency approach to carry out overall cooperation."
"And I don't want any money from you masters today."
"I want food."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess and I have done the detailed calculations, and we are looking for a total of thirty cooperative businesses today."
"Who among you can stand out will depend on who can come up with enough chips."
"Okay, I won't say any more. Next, we will conduct the selection by bidding."
After Zhao Hao finished speaking, Princess Yucheng divided Shu Kingdom into thirty business areas of varying sizes.
Thirty regions, covering the entire east, south, and central regions.
Only the west and northwest parts were left vacant.
Because the west and northwest are not suitable for business.
There are fewer people and more land in the west, while in the north, there is nothing but desert and grassland.
Also unable to do business.
Naturally, it is not included.
Once the area is divided, the bidding process begins.
More than a hundred small and medium-sized businesses engaged in an extremely fierce bidding process, using grain as a unit.
Finally, before dark, all thirty businesses were selected.
The total amount of grain produced by these thirty businesses was 110,000 dan.
Of course, these grains did not belong to Zhao Hao. Half of them belonged to Princess Yu Chengzhang.
However, Zhao Hao took half of the grain by means of mortgage.
Princess Yuchengzhang naturally knew how important this batch of grain was to Zhao Hao and Da Gan.
So there was no difficulty.
I agreed very readily.
After sending off all the business owners, Princess Yucheng said, "My Lord, you haven't even paid anything yet, but you've already received 110,000 dan of grain."
"The next step is up to you, Lord. Please don't make us wait too long."
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Leave everything to me. The dry wine, soap, and white hemp paper will soon be shipped to Shu."
"As for porcelain, the same is true, but the quantity of porcelain may not be that large in a short period of time."
"It will take some time."
"Of course, things are valuable because they are rare. Her Royal Highness the Princess has seen with her own eyes how precious porcelain is."
"If we take out too much at once, it will also have a negative impact on the price we sell it for."
"It's better to release it slowly."
Princess Yucheng nodded.
"Anyway, we have already made clear regulations on the quantity of several items, and you just need to follow the agreement."
"In a word, leave the sourcing of goods to the Marquis, and leave the sales to me."
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "The first batch of goods will be delivered to the imperial capital within half a month."
"Your Highness, I hope you can help keep an eye on the food supplies of these merchants."
"We must prepare everything within the next half month. After all, time waits for no one."
Princess Yu Chengzhang nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, sir."
After all the discussions were completed, it was completely dark. Zhao Hao took Wu Song and Qingniao and left the princess's mansion and returned to the villa.
And the news spread throughout the imperial capital like a whirlwind.
