"Young Master, please tell me your purpose in visiting this princess."
Gao Zhijun didn't like the way he looked at her, as if he regarded her as prey and wanted to take her for himself.
"Princess, I'd like to join the spring water distribution business. We can work together. You can buy me some Royal Spring water, and I'll sell it everywhere."
He secretly inquired about the profits of mountain spring water and found that the profits were terrifyingly huge.
It was the emperor's business, so he didn't dare to make any moves on it.
Later, I thought that I could cooperate with the princess and the emperor to sell the Royal Mountain Spring throughout Daliang.
"You want a piece of the pie? Sorry! The Royal Spring is out of the question. It's the Emperor's business, and I'm just running it on his behalf. Besides, the spring water is scarce, and sooner or later it will run out. It's better to sell it to the rich."
There were many people who wanted to get spring water, but they all did it in secret. He was the first one to do it openly.
In fact, Gao Zhijun had a well dug over 100 meters deep. Although the water in the well was not as good as mountain spring water, it contained some minerals suitable for ordinary people. For example, it contained potassium, iron, and calcium, which were helpful for the people who suffered from malnutrition for many years in ancient times.
"However, we can cooperate with this princess in other businesses."
Gao Zhijun wanted to build a commercial empire in ancient times. She provided the technology and finished products, selling them to wealthy merchants at wholesale prices, allowing them to sell them throughout Daliang. This was called consignment sales, and she controlled the recipes, workers, and production.
"Really? Okay, let's work together!"
Ji Mingchuan said excitedly.
The princess's businesses are all high-profit businesses.
Gao Zhijun explained clearly the matters that need to be paid attention to in the cooperation, and Ji Mingchuan suddenly had an idea. It turned out that business could be done this way.
The two business geniuses discussed for two hours and came up with a satisfactory contract.
The two happily signed their names and then had a cooperative meal.
If we cooperate with the Ji family, the quantity of goods will increase, and we will have to expand production and recruit more workers.
For safety reasons, the core production must be done by trustworthy people, while other assembly lines or miscellaneous tasks can be done by outsiders.
Gao Zhijun started drawing the expansion blueprints and plans as soon as she thought about it.
Gao Zhijun goes out early and comes back late every day, and is extremely busy. It is difficult for Huo Jinqian to find her for dinner.
What was she busy with? Sometimes she was busy recruiting people and expanding the business, and sometimes she was busy meeting with Ji Mingchuan to finalize the price of the goods and where to ship them.
Huo Jinqian has been very busy these days. He is busy at work and busy assisting the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture in investigating the case of the eldest princess.
He didn't know that Gao Zhijun was also busy, or was busy cooperating with the young master of Huangshang.
"Is the princess back?"
Finally finished his work, Huo Jinqian wanted to find Gao Zhijun for dinner, but he didn't see anyone when he arrived at the princess's house.
"No, the princess is busy every night until nightfall before returning."
The butler answered truthfully.
"So busy, what are you busy with?"
Huo Jinqian was shocked. How could she eat properly when she was so busy?
"I heard they're collaborating with the Royal Merchants and are busy expanding their workshop."
The housekeeper said truthfully.
During this period, the princess went out early and came back late, just to cooperate with the imperial merchant Ji family and expand her business throughout Daliang.
"Imperial Merchant? Is that the Ji family? Is she collaborating with the Ji family's head?"
He had no idea that his fiancée was going to be involved with the Imperial Merchant and what kind of business cooperation they had.
"The princess is cooperating with the Ji family. However, she is not cooperating with the Dong family, but with the Shao Dong family."
The housekeeper said.
"Young Master? Do you know the princess's itinerary for today?"
He had heard from others that the young master had a business acumen and was a genius in the business world. Under his leadership, the Ji family had remained a top merchant and the richest family in Daliang, with immense wealth. He was also said to be handsome and elegant, making him an ideal husband for the noble ladies of the capital.
It’s a pity that the ministers in the court look down on merchants, even the imperial merchants, so they are unwilling to let their daughter marry into the family.
"Princess, you should have dinner with Master Ji at Hongfu Tower to discuss cooperation matters."
The butler happened to hear Hongyue talk about it today, and only then did he know the princess's itinerary.
After hearing this, Huo Jinqian immediately asked the coachman to take him to Hongfu Restaurant.
The carriage had just stopped opposite the restaurant when he saw Gao Zhijun and Master Ji talking and laughing at the door of the restaurant. He didn't know what they were talking about, but Gao Zhijun was smiling happily with bright eyes.
Then Master Ji stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gao Zhijun, looked at her affectionately, waved goodbye reluctantly, got on the carriage and left.
A man's intuition told him that this young master liked Gao Zhijun. This realization instantly made Huo Jinqian furious, and he wanted to kill the hand that touched Gao Zhijun.
At this moment, he admitted that he was jealous because his heart was hurting. At the same time, he also knew that Gao Zhijun didn't like others to control her too tightly or too loosely; she wanted freedom.
He put away his heartbroken expression, pretending not to see what had just happened, and slowly walked towards her.
"Why aren't you home yet so late? It's not safe outside."
Huo Jinqian walked up to her and asked with concern.
"Isn't this protected by the Canglang? How did you get here?"
Gao Zhijun was very happy to see Huo Jinqian.
During this period, both of them were very busy and had little time to spend together.
"I went to the Princess's Mansion to look for you. The housekeeper said you were here, so I came to pick you up."
Huo Jinqian said gently.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Gao Zhijun asked Huo Jinqian.
"Not yet. I just wanted to go to the princess's mansion to have dinner with you, but I didn't expect you weren't there."
"Let's go in and eat!"
Gao Zhijun knew that Huo Jinqian hadn't eaten, so she pulled him in to eat.
Canglang looked at Huo Jinqian strangely. He had just seen the princess shaking hands with another man. How could he not get angry?
Wouldn't a man normally yell at a woman in this situation? Why didn't Princess Huo make a scene? Instead, she looked at her tenderly. Could it be that he wasn't angry?
