After Prince Xiaoyao left the hall, Chief Steward Xu stepped forward and poured the emperor another cup of tea, "Your Majesty, please rest early. Government affairs will never be finished.

Although Prince Xiaoyao usually appears to be idle, what he said just now is true. Even machines can't handle the intensity of your work, Your Majesty. You still need to balance work and rest."

Emperor Xiao Jing waved his hand and asked General Manager Xu to leave.

Xu Dazongguan sighed, and seeing that he could not persuade him, he had no choice but to return to his original position and continue standing. Following such a hardworking emperor, it was difficult for him to be lazy.

After returning to the palace, Xia Youan asked Du Zuo to invite several merchants to the teahouse to discuss the supply of medicines, and Chu Moyuan accompanied them.

Several merchants were surprised that the King of Chu was also there, and they quickly knelt down, "I greet you, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"No need to be polite, get up! Please sit down!"

Several merchants found a seat opposite Chu Moyuan and Xia Youan and sat down.

The maid made tea for everyone and then left, closing the door.

"May I know your names? How would you like to cooperate?" Xia Youan asked after the maid left.

When several merchants saw that the prince was present and the princess was the one who was negotiating business, they all looked at Chu Moyuan.

"The pharmaceutical business belongs to the princess. She has the final say on everything. You can just talk to her directly. I'm just here to accompany you."

Chu Moyuan gave all the right to speak to Xia Youan, and just sat there leisurely drinking tea.

Usually, we only heard that the King of Chu doted on his princess, but we didn't expect that in front of outsiders like them, the King of Chu didn't care and just acted as a foil.

"The relationship between the prince and princess is truly enviable to me."

Chu Moyuan did not respond to their compliments.

"My surname is Hu, and I'm from Cangzhou. My family also runs a medicine business. Unfortunately, I caught a cold on this trip. After taking the princess's medicine, I recovered in two days. This was something I would never have dared to imagine before. So, I wanted to bring some medicine back to Cangzhou so that the people of Cangzhou can also enjoy this benefit."

"It's Boss Hu. Nice to meet you! How would you like to cooperate?"

Several merchants looked at each other. Boss Hu didn't understand what Xia Youan meant. Wasn't it the same as with other things? Xia Youan opened a shop and they bought whatever they liked?

"Princess, I don't understand what you mean. Could you please explain it in detail?"

"Of course. Medicines are different from other things. They concern the vital interests of millions of people. I can't just sell them to anyone who comes to wholesale.

My initial plan is to recruit one or two regional agents, for example, one in the north and one in the south, to purchase products from me and then sell them to other regions. Of course, agents can only sell within their own regions and are not allowed to cross regions to steal other people's business.

They were very interested in this model, but the princess said that only one or two agents were needed, and they already had four people. What would they do if there were not enough to go around?

"Your Highness, this method is excellent. However, there are four of us. If we only recruit one or two agents, what will happen to the other two?"

"Others can expand into other countries or become sub-agents, responsible for drug sales in each state and county. As long as you want to do business, there are many opportunities."

Several merchants nodded, thinking that what the princess said made sense.

"But we agreed in advance that I would set a sales price for each drug, and the price must be the same across the country.

If there is any intentional price gouging, the agency qualification will be revoked immediately. Can you do this?"

The people in front of them are the prince and princess. How brave must they be to say no?

The four of them quickly nodded in agreement, "Of course. This is also for the benefit of the common people, Prince and Princess. How dare we not cooperate?"

"If everyone agrees, then please have the four bosses discuss who will be the regional agent. After the discussion, sign the contract."

After the four of them discussed, they decided to appoint Boss Hu and Boss Sun as the regional agents. These two companies were the most powerful and their businesses spread across Da Chu.

Boss Hu’s base is in the northern part of Da Chu, and Boss Sun’s is in the southern part.

After checking the contract and finding no problems, they both signed it.

After the agent left, Chu Moyuan stood up, took Xia Youan's hand, and said with a smile: "Boss Xia, congratulations, this business is getting bigger and bigger."

Xia Youan raised his head proudly, "Alas, there is no other way. I have to work hard to make money. It's too expensive to support you."

"Hahahaha~" Chu Moyuan laughed, raised his hand, bent his index finger and gently scratched Xia Youan's nose, "Naughty! Let's go."

After leaving the teahouse, Chu Moyuan accompanied Xia Youan to the embroidery workshop to collect the goods.

After the first wedding dress was delivered, the buyer gave it a very high evaluation and provided a picture of the dress being worn. This led to a continuous flow of orders and the offline store was also very popular.

A fan asked if they had any men's clothing, which was a good opportunity for Chu Moyuan to change into his casual clothes and accompany her to deliver the goods, so that Liang Luowen could see the quality of the men's clothing.

The embroiderers worked overtime to embroider the few pieces that were sold later, and Chu Moyuan happened to help move them back.

Back in the modern era, Shan Rongjie was learning simplified Chinese characters from Chun'er.

"Brother Shan, Subject 1 is easy to learn, right?"

Shan Rongjie lifted his messy hair from his book and said to Xia Youan dejectedly, "Sister, let's not talk about studying and finding a wife anymore, okay?"

Xia Youan smiled and said, "Okay, I won't mention finding a wife to you anymore."

Shan Rongjie: “…”

"Brother Shan, can you accompany me to deliver some clothes to my cousin later? I have a few male customers who want to look at men's clothing, and I'd like you to help show me some men's Hanfu."

Shan Rongjie thought Xia Youan was trying to trick him into a blind date, so he quickly refused, "Sister, you can see I'm pressed for time and have a lot to do. My little car is still waiting for me to take it home. How about you ask my dad for help? As long as you don't judge by his looks, my dad's old body can still be a bit of a liar."

Xia Youan was about to agree when Chu Moyuan said teasingly, "Forget it, baby. Since Big Brother Shan is so busy, I can do it alone. The worst that can happen is that I'll just have to change clothes a few more times. It's just a pity. I was planning to teach Big Brother Shan how to drive on the way back. I'll find another opportunity later."

After hearing this, Shan Rongjie perked up, threw the book away and stood up.

"An An, didn't you ask me to help you show you clothes? Where are the clothes? You must find the most handsome one for me to change into."

Xia Youan looked at Chu Moyuan in surprise. Isn't this guy really good at changing his expression?

Never mind, it would be a waste if you don’t use it!

"Brother, just wear the clothes you usually wear in Da Chu."

Shan Rongjie quickly changed into what he thought was his most handsome outfit, which he was saving for the New Year. "An An, how about this one?"

Xia Youan gave Shan Rongjie a thumbs-up and burst into praise, "Brother Shan is so handsome! He looks good in whatever he wears. If he goes out in this outfit, he's going to charm a lot of girls, right?"

Shan Rongjie happily looked at himself in the mirror again and again.

Chu Moyuan laughed silently behind Xia Youan.
