Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 212 Big Customer

"Fuling, are you planning to sell these things you made?" Xiao Jingyi asked.

Yun Fuling nodded and no longer hid the secret from Xiao Jingyi.

"I plan to open a shop specializing in selling these skin-beautifying products. What do you think?"

Xiao Jingyi: "I think it's OK."

"Your things are not available on the market, and the only business is the easiest to do."

"Besides, everyone loves beauty. I'm sure there will be many people willing to patronize your business."

Yun Fuling became more confident after hearing this.

"I want to find a few people to partner with me in this business. I asked you to find out about the personalities of the second young lady Jiang of the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion and the third lady Wan of the Duke of Dongchang's Mansion. Did you find out?"

Xiao Jingyi raised his eyebrows: "You want to partner with them?"

Yun Fuling smiled and said, "There is also the Fifth Prince's Consort. I met her at the flower-viewing banquet held by Lady Changle that day. I think I have a good relationship with them, but when it comes to doing business together, we can't just look at the speculative aspects."

“So it’s just under consideration at this point.”

Xiao Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "I asked someone to check. Jiang and Wan have good reputations, but you have only met them once, so you have to be cautious about doing business together."

"Besides, there is a saying in the business world that if you rush in, it's not a good deal."

"You want to do business together, but they may not be willing to do so."

Yun Fuling was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

She didn't even trust Jiang and Wan, and asked Xiao Jingyi to help investigate.

The same is true for Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wan. They may not trust me and be willing to get involved in this business.

Yun Fuling thought about it, then packed three portions of soap, moisturizer and other items, attached instructions for use, and put them in gift boxes.

Then they sent them to the Fifth Prince's wife, the second young lady Jiang of the Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion, and the third lady Wan of the Earl of Dongchang's Mansion.

"I'll give it to them to try out first."

"If they think it's good, they might even come back to me to do business together!"

Xiao Jingyi smiled without saying anything, letting Yun Fuling do whatever she wanted.

After Yun Fuling had someone send the gift away, Xiao Jingyi said, "If you want to do this business, I have a big partner to recommend to you."

Yun Fuling asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

Xiao Jingyi pointed at himself.

After Yun Fuling realized what was happening, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I make these mainly for women. By then, most of the customers served in the shop will definitely be female, so I want to find the Fifth Prince's wife and others to partner with me."

"We are all women, so it is easier to communicate about many things."

"You are a grown man, and you still want to get involved in this cosmetic business?"

Xiao Jingyi said seriously, "I am the boss behind the scenes. I don't show up in the shop to solicit customers. What does it matter whether it's a man or a woman?"

"Besides, it doesn't matter what kind of business it is, as long as it can make money."

"You can open a shop anywhere in Daqi. I won't compete with you for your business."

"What I want to do is border trade. Whether it's the northern barbarians or the western barbarians, these things of yours will definitely be very popular."

This time, Yun Fuling was really surprised.

Daqi did not trade with the Northern Barbarians and Western Rong, and no mutual trade was established on the border.

However, the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit trade between the two countries.

Therefore, there were many traveling merchants among the people who traveled between the borders, trading goods with the northern barbarians and the western Rong people and making a profit from the difference.

But this business is not easy to do.

Without strong support and solid strength, it is impossible to open up trade routes.

Yun Fuling didn't expect that Xiao Jingyi actually had a caravan at his disposal.

At this point, Xiao Jingyi did not try to hide the truth any more and simply said, "I have a caravan that specializes in reselling goods and trading with the northern barbarians and the western Rong people."

"In the past, we only dealt in cloth and tea."

"Although I have a lot of assets under my name, my expenses are also high. I have to find a way to make some money to supplement it."

Seeing Xiao Jingyi's honesty, Yun Fuling said that his border trade business would not affect his opening of a shop in Daqi, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I will just supply you with goods. As for how you sell them at the border and how much you sell them for, I don't care."

Xiao Jingyi took Yun Fuling's hand and kissed her on his lips.

"Thank you, Princess, for letting me have some soup."

Yun Fuling smiled and punched his chest, "Stop using sweet words."

"These things I showed you today took me a long time to make."

"If I supply you with goods, and if I open a shop in the capital first, the output will definitely be huge."

"I have to find a place to build a workshop first, and then I have to recruit workers..."

Speaking of this, Yun Fuling suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, you said earlier that you would help me transfer a group of old disabled soldiers over. When will they arrive?"

Xiao Jingyi calculated the days and said, "It should be here in the next few days."

What Yun Fuling lacks most now is manpower.

As long as there are more people, she can do more.

"Then when they arrive, I will assign some of them to work on the soap workshop."

Xiao Jingyi shook his head upon hearing this, "No need, those people agreed to go to the medicine garden to work."

"I have a farm in the eastern suburbs with two or three hundred servants. I will transfer them all to your name later."

"You can set up a soap workshop in the manor and recruit people from the manor servants to work in the workshop."

"Those servants are trustworthy people."

Yun Fuling thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.

Today was really fruitful.

Not only did he build a new workshop and get a regular big customer, but he also acquired a large estate.

Yun Fuling smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"I'll let Zhao Xuesi follow up on the rest."

"Pack some of your soaps and other items and send them to Zhao Xuesi."

After hearing what Xiao Jingyi said, Yun Fuling realized that most of the businesses he ran privately were run by Zhao Xuesi.

And when it comes to making money, Zhao Xuesi is good at it.

Previously in Jiangzhou, Zhao Xuesi left halfway because there was some trouble with a business matter and he went to deal with it.

Yun Fuling didn't expect that Zhao Xuesi, who looked like an uneducated playboy, would actually be Xiao Jingyi's money bag.

Yun Fuling followed instructions and had someone send a portion of soap and other things to Zhao Xuesi.

As the two were talking, Tian Quan suddenly came over to report: "Your Highness, Jingzhao Yin sent someone to ask Your Highness to assist them in investigating the case."

Xiao Jingyi frowned and asked, "What case?"

Tian Quan explained: "Recently, there have been many women missing in the capital. I heard that another one disappeared yesterday."

"The Jingzhao Yin has been investigating for a few days but has not found any clues. This has caused panic among the people in the capital."

"So Jingzhao Yin wants to ask the military department for help to maintain the law and order of the capital and arrest the murderer."

After Xiao Jingyi returned to Beijing, he worked in the Ministry of War. He was in charge of the Bingmasi, which was responsible for the security of the capital.

If Jingzhao Yin wanted to seek help from the Military Affairs Department, he must first seek Xiao Jingyi's consent.
