Looking at Zongzheng Xiaoting's expression, Gongsun Zixing asked curiously, "I do know that many women are as capable as men, and it is not uncommon for women to engage in business. I just don't know what it is that makes you, Xiaoting, so confident?"
As the conversation progressed, Gongsun Zixing had slowly put aside Zongzheng Xiaoting's identity as a princess. His words and actions were all as natural and elegant as when they first met. He picked up the teacup beside him with his slender hands and sipped it gracefully.
"Brother Zixing, are you saying that you are willing to cooperate?" Zongzheng Xiaoting winked at the person opposite him and said proudly, "Brother Zixing has been doing business for many years, so he naturally knows that this person is greedy, right?"
"It's my nature to be greedy for small gains." Gongsun Zixing lowered the lid of the cup and nodded in response.
"I guess Brother Zixing has also done some preferential treatment and price reductions."
"It seems that Xiao Ting has other ideas?" Gongsun Zixing raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear the details."
This was the first time that Zong Zheng Xiaoting felt equal treatment in this strange world. Gongsun Zixing's attitude and actions made Zong Zheng Xiaoting feel comfortable instantly.
"Brother Zixing, have you ever thought about using the bank's business model to run other businesses?"
"The model of the bank?"
"That's right. Instead of offering preferential treatment, why not collect the money first and then make the profit?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting held up his chin. "Isn't the function of a bank to pawn and store things? In fact, every business has its profit point, and these small favors are probably everywhere, right? Without the financial resources of Brother Zixing, Xiaoting's model would be unworkable and risky."
Gongsun Zixing was also intrigued by Zongzheng Xiaoting's teasing. "It's getting more and more mysterious."
"I was thinking, what if the inn and tavern all launched paper cards that can be exchanged for cash like banknotes, and changed the original preferential treatment to a one-time deposit of silver in a bank, or the purchase of silver notes from the inn and tavern to cash in silver, such as one tael can be exchanged for one tael and three wen?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words made Gongsun Zixing fall into deep thought.
Banknotes can be exchanged for cash certificates?
Gongsun Zixing's eyes quickly flashed with surprise. "If this is the case, I'm afraid many people will feel they have made a profit! Just say that the gifts cannot be exchanged for cash, and those who originally bought them with silver can go to the bank to exchange them for silver, then that's a guarantee!"
"That's exactly what I mean. That's why I said that without Brother Zixing, it can't be done." Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded.
"In fact, if you calculate it this way, it will reduce costs even more." Gongsun Zixing clapped his hands in praise. "If you deposit the cash silver in the bank, you can have more money with the silver notes given to you, and do more things. As for the food and beverages in this restaurant, every time there is a reduction in the actual amount, it is not as noticeable as the increase in silver that we see."
Zong Zheng Xiao Ting asked with a look of seeking credit: "Brother Zi Xing, do you think Xiao Ting can cooperate with you?"
Looking at the appearance of the person in front of him, Gongsun Zixing couldn't help but wonder: "It seems that Xiaoting's method is not limited to this one?"
"Isn't it?" Zongzheng Xiaoting blinked. "If I don't have the skills, would Xiaoting dare to talk about cooperation?"
"Then I'd like to know, what other good ideas do you have, and how will you cooperate?" Gongsun Zixing looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting with interest.
"Well..." Zong Zheng Xiaoting rolled his eyes and blurted out a term that didn't fit the times, "Membership system, recharge."
"Huiyuan?" Gongsun Zixing asked puzzledly.
"Let me tell you..."
At this moment, the two were chatting happily, with bursts of laughter coming from time to time.
However, Qingqing, Ningshuang and others who fled to two places within the territory of Yunguang Kingdom were exhausted from running around.
Wei Zixin fled with Ningshuang. At dawn, Ningshuang became more sober.
She was carried on his shoulders and screamed in fear.
"Ah... who are you! Let me down!" Screams rang in Wei Zixin's ears.
As the screams rang out, Wei Zixin also felt the struggle of the person on his shoulder, but he threw Ningshuang down without any mercy.
As early as the princess told him her concerns, he became inexplicably hostile towards Ningshuang.
Although the princess had no evidence to prove her guess, it was definitely not a false guess for Zixu Wu to worry that this man would harm the empress and the imperial concubine when she chose to escape the marriage.
Wei Zixin would not tolerate anyone who was detrimental to the Empress!
If it wasn't for the fact that there was no evidence, and if the Second Princess hadn't repeatedly urged him to spare her life, Wei Zixin would have killed her without asking for permission long ago.
Ning Shuang, who was thrown to the ground in pain, saw General Wei with a sinister look on his face. She said in fear, "General Wei, why is it you?"
"Tsk..." Wei Zixin's face turned pale, and he signaled Ningshuang to speak softly, "Last night, someone poisoned us with incense and set the inn on fire, intending to kill everyone. Those who could escape protected the princess and others and fled. If the princess had not instructed not to leave you behind, would this general have needed to carry you around, leaving the princess without one person to protect her?"
"General, what you mean is that someone wants to harm the princess?" Ningshuang covered her mouth, looking frightened.
"Not only assassination, even escaping is still..." Before he could utter the word "unsafe", the secret guard who was arranged by Wei Zixin to pretend to be a killer saw the opportunity and rushed out. In an instant, the tip of the sword was close to Ningshuang.
Ningshuang screamed in fear when she saw the sword approaching her. Just when the sword was about to scratch her arm, Wei Zixin drew his sword to save her. After several fights, the man in black was defeated. Wei Zixin quickly picked up Ningshuang and jumped away. Blood on the ground dripped as he left.
As for Qingqing, she didn't have time to escape too far.
The two had originally parted ways with Zong Zheng Xiao Ting and were about to find a store to change clothes, but because they were anxious to get rid of being tracked, they were bumped into by someone in the market, and the silver was taken away by someone and lost completely.
It was precisely because of this that he was delayed in the tailor shop for a while and was caught up by Nighthawk and Situ Xunxiao.
The tense atmosphere in the tailor shop was frightening.
"If there is no way to avoid it, then use it as an excuse to escape from pursuit!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words echoed in his ears.
"What? Burning it with fire doesn't work, so now you're pursuing it relentlessly?" Qingqing spoke quickly, turning Zongzheng Xiaoting's words into practice.
Fire? Fire again! Could it be that someone else really attacked the Second Princess and the others?
"How dare you! We, Prince Zhan, have come here just to pursue the princess." Nighthawk shouted.
"Who knows whether what you said is true or false." Chen Xianzhi drew his sword and confronted Qingqing with a look of distrust on his face. He grabbed Qingqing with one hand and prepared to fight back.
