"Sister Shulan, why do I feel like he's a little different lately?"
Ten women sat around in the Fengyi Palace of Queen Yu Wenyun. Fu Xiaoguan went to the imperial study, and Dong Shulan called everyone together to hold a small meeting.
Of course, it has nothing to do with national policy, but it is about the Jinfeng Group.
While waiting for someone, Zhang Pei'er asked this question out of curiosity.
Dong Shulan smiled slightly, "Do you think he's been too enthusiastic lately?"
"...Yeah, I always feel a little uneasy, like, like I'm dreaming."
Yu Wenjun also laughed. "Now that Great Xia is peaceful and stable, and the country and the people are truly safe and sound, I imagine he's feeling a lot more relaxed. Isn't that great? Look, this year we can have some new additions to the palace."
Nangong Piaoxue and Sima Che blushed and touched their stomachs. They found that this guy was pregnant again after all the trouble.
Wu Linger felt a little lonely. Ever since she gave birth to Wu Tianci, her belly had stopped moving and she didn't know what was going on.
As a result, except for Susu, the other sisters all gave birth to two children and were developing in the direction of responding to national policies, but she was left behind.
"Well, thank goodness he's reached the first-rate realm, and thank goodness he's practicing the Nine Yang Heart Sutra. Hehe, he's much more energetic now than before." Dong Shulan smiled brightly. "I say, sisters, let's not dwell on having children all the time. Now that Xiaolou is here and we're all together, let's talk about the Golden Phoenix Group."
When it came to business, the others shut up and listened carefully to Dong Shulan's arrangements. In the hearts of the nine women, they admired Dong Shulan very much in terms of business and financial management.
It can almost be said that Dong Shulan single-handedly built up the current situation of the Daxia Jinfeng Group.
Although the Queen Mother had appointed persons in charge of each company, they did not have much experience in business. The commercial giant of the Daxia Jinfeng Group was still mainly steered by Dong Shulan.
"I think the canned fish from Far Eastern Road sells well in mainland China, but perhaps due to funding issues, their production capacity is insufficient, which means their market share is not high."
"Pei'er, you'll be in charge of the food aspect. I plan to send someone to the Far East to discuss cooperation with Fujiwara Kisho. Our Golden Phoenix Group can inject 30 million taels of silver into her to expand the scale, and we'll take care of the sales..."
"The solution is twofold. One is to sell in the domestic market through our own channels. The second is to participate in the General Armament Department's bidding through our weapons and equipment company. This product is only available in the Far East Road, so there's no competition in the bidding. We can just lower the price a bit."
After saying this, she turned to look at Sima Che, "In the field of textiles and clothing, the Sima family has laid out a perfect plan. They have already launched it in the Far North Road and have traveled to other countries with officials from the Ministry of Rites. So we can just do some casual work in this area. I want to focus our main efforts on the Far East Road."
"Didn't my husband say that there are two Silk Roads? The maritime route hasn't received much attention yet because the ocean route hasn't been opened. I believe that once the ocean route is opened, the Far East Road will have unique advantages."
"Far East Road has mulberry and hemp, and they know how to raise silkworms. We can build a silk factory directly in Far East Road. As Far East Road's economy recovers, local sales will surely be considerable."
"If the Maritime Silk Road is established, I believe the Far East Road will be a crucial node. We must seize this opportunity."
"...As for the ocean-going company, we've already built eight cargo ships, five of which are used for the Yangtze River route. I plan to use the other three for the route from Jiangcheng to Goryeo."
"In addition, we need to commission the Yao County Shipyard and the Jiangcheng Shipyard to build ten larger cargo ships... They should be the same size as naval warships, to be used as ocean-going cargo ships. We'll have to make arrangements for this once we get approval, as the other ocean-going companies are also actively preparing."
“…”
Dong Shulan talked about everything in detail for two hours.
She carefully analyzed the current business structure of Daxia, made predictions about Daxia's future business environment, and determined the future development path of Daxia Jinfeng Group.
Naturally, all of this was approved, and this giant commercial ship that Xu Yunqing had once brought for fun was setting sail under the leadership of Dong Shulan.
At dusk, Fu Xiaoguan returned to the Yangxin Palace, and Yu Wenjun brought nine people to the Yangxin Palace. In an instant, the place became lively.
"Liu Jin, tell the imperial kitchen to send dinner here."
"I obey your order!"
"Zhao Hou, go call Yun Xiyan... Forget it, just ask Yun Xiyan to come to the imperial study tomorrow morning."
"I obey your order!"
After the two eunuchs left, Fu Xiaoguan invited his wives to sit around a large table and asked, "I have a business opportunity. Would you like to hear about it?"
Dong Shulan's eyes lit up. "What business opportunity?"
"Chang'an...that place is undergoing massive construction. Qin Mowen estimates that it will be completed in another two years."
"My husband, what you mean is... Chang'an will be the future commercial center of Daxia?"
Fu Xiaoguan grinned, "The area around Guanyun City is a bit small. Now Guanyun City has a permanent population of nearly four million, and it's already very crowded. So I want to move the capital there after Chang'an is built."
This was obviously a secret that had not yet been made public, and Dong Shulan immediately understood the huge business opportunity.
"Okay, tomorrow I will ask the Li family to go to Chang'an and buy a piece of land. We will build the largest commercial city in Chang'an."
"That's a great idea. My suggestion is to build a landmark building for the Jinfeng Group in Chang'an, a six-story, large-scale integrated shopping mall."
Yu Wenjun laughed and said, "Sir, does this count as abusing your power for personal gain?"
"I must leave some inheritance for my family!"
No one realized the deeper meaning of his words, they just thought he was doing it for the future generations of this huge family.
Dong Shulan made tea, and Fu Xiaoguan looked at Susu and asked, "How was Wang Xiaozhuang's wedding?"
"It was a lively scene! Everyone from the entire Royal Farm came. There were two hundred tables of banquets, and it was a buffet. We ate for three days and three nights. Wang Er was so happy."
"Is Peng Yuyan participating?"
"Yes, it can be seen that she is also very satisfied. However, after the wedding, she said she wanted to go to Cangxi Plain."
Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath. Yu Chunqiu's daughter marrying Wang Xiaozhuang had relieved Peng Yuyan's worries. She probably wanted to go to Yu Chunqiu's grave to talk.
The brothers Yu Dingshan and Yu Dinghe made great contributions in the war against Liao. According to the opinions of the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of War, the brothers were promoted to division commanders of the First Army of the Great Xia Army. They were only in their twenties, and this might be what Yu Chunqiu wanted to see.
