As soon as he ate two bites of food, Liu Pei heard Hua Shufeng say: "I believe that the virtuous brother will not harm me." But I still hope that Brother Xian can tell me more about it? Otherwise, the foolish brother has no bottom in his heart. Even if it is for the sake of you and my brother not to turn against each other in the future, the foolish brother has to think about it.

Liu Pei put down his chopsticks and said, "My brother also knows that I have taken in a lot of people, right?" ”

Hua Shufeng smiled and said, "Not bad." Now it is rumored on the street that you have five or six hundred family members, all of whom are fierce and vicious, and dare to fight! More than 2 to 3,000 displaced people were gathered to reclaim the famine. You're not gathering these people to rebel, are you? ”

"Brother, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Pei hurriedly said: "I took the family to escort the goods!" Otherwise, how can a large number of goods be delivered? I've been robbed a long time ago! On the one hand, I gathered the displaced people to see them pitiful, and on the other hand, I wanted to grow food and send it to the island to supply my relatives. There is too little food on that island to feed many people! ”

Hua Shufeng nodded and said, "That's right, Lord Prefect." That's what I said. He also hopes that someone will follow your example and gather as many displaced people, so that there will be more peace on the ground. ”

Liu Pei slapped the table and said, "That's right, here's the problem!" These thousands of people have to eat and drink from me, and I can't be busy alone! I'm tired to death every day, but I can't do a few things. ”

Hua Shufeng squinted his eyes and said, "That's why you thought of Brother Fool here!" Let the foolish brother do the work for you, not to mention, but also to help you deal with some chores, right? ”

Liu Pei said with a shy face: "How can it! The main thing is to make money! The second is to deal with some chores. And those things are very small, and my brother can do it with his hands! ”

Hua Shufeng proudly picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and threw out a word: "Stupid!" ”

"Hey!" Liu Pei stopped doing it and said, "How can my brother say I'm stupid? I'm so smart! ”

"Call you stupid, you don't want to hear it." Hua Shufeng shook his head and said, "Things like you said are the easiest to deal with!" You divide the things you want to do into categories, gather the people who do the kind of work, and then you pick a leader! If these people are too stupid to do things, why don't you hire a few shopkeepers to deal with it? ”

Liu Pei: "Smack! "I gave myself an ear scraper! Hua Shufeng looked at him and smiled. Liu Pei felt that he was also confused, he just thought about the people who did not read and write under his hands, but he didn't expect that there would be people among them who were naturally capable, and he didn't expect that there were still many literate people waiting to work. Do everything by yourself, even if you are tired to death, you can't finish it!

It's like the three showmen in the school, and now it's very good to teach simplified characters! Moreover, in Liu Pei's territory, he can completely implement the election system at the grassroots level. It is difficult for those people to occupy high positions, but they have a wealth of grassroots work experience, and it is easy to manage a dozen people. They can't handle that matter by themselves, so they ask some shopkeepers to deal with it, and these things are naturally a small test for them.

Liu Pei also thought that the production of those farm tools could directly establish a blacksmith shop and ask a shopkeeper to manage it. In the future, it will slowly expand into an arms factory, and then you can make knives, guns, and firearms! It seems that he was blinded by the pride of modern people, but he didn't expect that these ancient people also had their own intelligence, they were just limited by their vision! If they had seen it in the modern era, they would probably lose to the modern people! This is Liu Pei giving himself a warning!

Just when Liu Pei was stunned, Hua Shufeng raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Brother Xian?" Brother Fool helped you solve this problem, are you going to repay the debt? ”

Liu Pei shook his head and drove away the superfluous thoughts, patted his chest and said imposingly: "How is it possible!" I don't like money! Just to reward my brother for his guidance, this business must also be done! ”

Hua Shufeng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then talk to the foolish brother!" ”

Liu Pei said seriously: "The business I'm talking about is two!" It's the two businesses of department stores and carriage and horse shops! ”

Hua Shufeng thought about it and said, "I can guess what it means in the department store." I know what to do, the profit is not big, the risk is more, at most it is hard money! But since you said it, you must be sure! Then quickly explain it to the foolish brother. ”

Liu Pei slowly explained at the moment: "This department store, as the name suggests, is to gather all kinds of goods in one shop to sell, so that the things that the family needs can be all gathered as long as they enter our store, and there is no need to go to other houses!" Let customers enjoy the joy of one-stop shopping! As for the question of the profitability of this carriage and horse dealership, it is the simplest, brother, you don't know, we live on the island. The road to the island is very rough, so we developed special axles and wheels. Carts of the same size, these carts we use can carry four or five times more goods than the carts used by others, how can we not make money! ”

Strictly speaking, this department store is a fragrant bait, which is specially used to attract Huashufeng, so as to attract him to help Liu Pei engage in business work, and Liu Pei will inevitably raise an army if he plans to seize the world in the future. And the army is a real gold-eating beast! If there is no commercial income to sustain it, where will there be a strong army!

As for the carriage and horse shop, it is also the result of Liu Pei's repeated consideration. A carriage and horse shop needs someone to escort the goods to and fro. Is there a better way to hide troops than this? The young man who had just come out of the barracks followed the carriage and horse company to escort the goods, and traveled all day long, broadening his horizons. After fighting with the bandits a few more times, he became proficient in tactics, and when the time came, he was directly integrated into the army, and he was a qualified grassroots officer.

And which convoy does not need dozens of escorts. Later, the carriage and horse shop expanded, and as long as they did not lose money, thousands of people could easily hide in the convoy. And the convoy traveled north and south. Naturally, you will see countless road cities. You can detect in advance and have a detailed map. In the future, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

As for the new big car, it is the axle and pneumatic tires that Liu Pei brought back from now. Liu Pei was afraid at first, and he was afraid that someone would investigate his pneumatic tires. As a result, after he quietly got a pair to the Ming Dynasty, he found that he underestimated the Ming Dynasty's ability to accept new things. Because the person who found it just thought the car was good, and praised it a few words.

It stands to reason that those businessmen should be interested in this kind of freight weapon, but no one has ever asked him about the origin of the cart, and Liu Pei couldn't help but ask others to know the answer. It turned out that the people who had access to these big cars were small businesses and people who were in charge of cars. Moreover, as a matter of course, these small businesses and carriages and horses are hindered by the problem of principal, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to buy overseas goods. So they didn't ask! It can be seen that habitual thinking harms people!
