How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

"If we adopt a monopoly approach, we would have to build workshops one by one, recruit craftsmen and workers from all over the place, and then open shops in various places to sell our products. In this way, not only would it involve a lot of energy, manpower and resources, but the speed of capital recovery would also be extremely slow."

Another method is to operate through franchising. Specifically, this involves first creating a model store, then collecting franchise fees and security deposits from merchants, and signing contracts clearly stipulating that these merchants' workshops must prioritize hiring soldiers' families as workers. This process is overseen by the local government; any violation—that is, failing to prioritize hiring soldiers' families as agreed—results in a fine of the security deposit for the first offense, and termination of the franchise and replacement with someone else for the second. Take our city of Tokyo, for example. We could directly operate three women's lingerie stores, each targeting different consumer groups: high-end, mid-range, and low-end. The high-end store caters exclusively to female customers, using only the finest fabrics reserved for the imperial family, with exquisite patterns meticulously embroidered by palace maids. Naturally, the prices are incredibly high, but these products are specifically supplied to wealthy families and meritorious nobles. After all, they are wealthy and like to compare themselves with each other, hehe... As for the mid-range products, they are sold to the wealthier merchants, while the lowest-end products are priced affordable for ordinary people." Jin Shuai spoke fluently and eloquently about his ideas.

Emperor Renzong and Empress Cao were speechless with astonishment, secretly marveling, "This boy is truly extraordinary!"

"This matter is quite complicated. Is it appropriate to entrust it to you?" Emperor Renzong asked softly with a smile.

Jin Shuai thought to himself, "Why is he acting up again with his old habit of being a chatterbox?" He remained silent. Seeing this, Emperor Renzong continued, "If you can successfully complete the mission, I will bestow upon you the title of Earl. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai's eyes lit up, but he hesitated and muttered, "Really? Hmm... But let's not, Your Majesty. I'm only twelve years old this year. I have to choose a shop, be in charge of the decoration, and negotiate with people. What if some fool kidnaps me and ruins your grand plan? That would be a huge loss."

"Let the Empress send people to assist you, and I will send a few trusted guards to protect your safety. What do you think of this arrangement?" Emperor Renzong suggested again.

"How could I possibly refuse? How could there be people like you who bully children like this?" Jin Shuai complained angrily.

"Hahaha, you've also benefited greatly from this, haven't you?" Emperor Renzong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty, you may send two clever and intelligent people to accompany me. Once I have taught them, I will no longer need to worry about them. In the meantime, we can choose a shop and begin the renovation. Afterward, send several palace maids skilled in needlework to my residence to wait. Once I have taught them, I will send them back to the palace!" Jin Shuai explained methodically.

"Now that the problem of redundant soldiers has been largely resolved, how should we deal with the redundant officials?" Emperor Renzong asked, his brows furrowed.
