The second phase of the Yucheng Wharf is still continuing, and the so-called second phase of the project is to build a large dock directly next to the wharf to repair the ships at the wharf.

Most of the cement transported from Wagang is used in this, and the scale of the wharf in Lingnan is also larger than that of the fishing city, and only a small part of the cement is transported to Lingnan through the fishing city.

Because the demand for cement in Yucheng is also very large, and there is also the cement workshop in Lingnan that has been able to produce on its own, the output is not large, but it is very helpful to the construction of Lingnan.

Li Shimin of Wagang City is discussing with his eldest grandson Wuji about buying cement from merchants in Chang'an and Luoyang, which is suspected of being opportunistic.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, believes that the method is feasible, and the contract does not specify that the cement workshop will not be expanded for three years to increase production, so the cooperation can still continue.

After all, Li Shimin wants to save face, but he still compromised on practical interests, after all, he is really short of money.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, first add something appropriately, don't make it too obvious."

The output of the cement workshop is different every time, and there can only be an approximate forecast of the output, and the eldest grandson Wuji has already made an excuse for this, and the expansion of the workshop is a good reason.

In their opinion, this is a contract loophole, and even if they turn their faces and cooperate with each other, they are still tenable.

In fact, the merchants of Youzhou wish they would produce more, and now the fishing city needs a lot of cement, so much so that even the cement output of Wagang City is not enough.

The cement workshop in Lingnan has just started, and it is the most economical way to purchase cement to keep up with the construction schedule.

So after the eldest grandson Wuji personally took the caravan to hand over, he didn't have any doubts about their output, and his wealth was like this.

After the eldest grandson Wuji returned to Wagang, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had lost a little this time, and it would have been good if he had known that there were no restrictions on acquisitions and more transportation.

Now we can only wait for the second batch of cement.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, it's done."

Li Shimin was very happy, he had already counted the cement production provided through the cement workshops in Chang'an and Luoyang to one-fifth of their output, and he did not know how much cement those people had saved.

According to his understanding of the family, the other party must have a lot of ready-made products, and after the first transaction is settled, the family knows that they must seize this opportunity to make money.

"Great, what's the next shipment?"

"About a week later, it's just that the transportation from Chang'an and Luoyang is a little slower, and it may take until next week to be able to arrive."

The eldest grandson Wuji was very calm, he had to explain the situation about the cement business, and it was impossible for their caravan to be divided into two routes for transportation, so that there would be no delay but the number of transportation would be reduced too much.

After measuring, it was decided to focus on the output of the cement workshop in Wagang first, and since the output was not set, it was time to expand the kiln.

Li Shimin is also a very decisive person, and the money he earns is invested in the construction of a cement workshop again, striving for more benefits.

The cement business in Wagang City is booming, and many people in Chang'an and Luoyang have benefited, and they can earn a lot of wealth by producing cement, and there are many people who follow the trend.

The production of large and small kilns is really a production that spares no effort, and Li Shimin never imagined that those people would be so crazy for the sake of profit.

On the outskirts of Chang'an and Luoyang, construction is underway in several places to build new kilns, and business-minded people are thinking about maximizing their own interests.

Half a month later, when the third transaction was made, the cement output of Wagang City directly doubled, which was absolutely shocking, but this made up for the lack of cement.

Cement carriers in Yucheng were finally able to transport more cement to Lingnan Seaport.

"Hahaha, this Li Shimin has some tricks, and he even thought of using Chang'an and Luoyang to provide him with cement supplies."

Li Shimin's approach is to make more money, and Li De agrees with this very much, and now it is the time when there is a shortage of cement, and it is not enough to double the current output of Wagang City.

But more is better than less.

He didn't pay much attention to the cement thing, now it is how much to harvest and how much demand determines the output, and there is no problem in the supply for several years.

He is still more concerned about the fried chicken shop, three fried chicken shops can no longer meet the demand, according to the current daily queue, at least ten more may be able to share the needs of some neighborhoods.

So the money that had just made a profit was invested again, and the business scope was directly expanded, striving to set up a store in each shop.

Directly opened ten stores in a row, which is not the only time that there are more people applying for cooperation.

There are many merchants who apply to open a store, and the castle guard office is in charge of screening, and only those who meet the basic requirements can open a store.

First of all, there is a need to have the cost of joining, and the application partners of the fried chicken shop need to have a certain amount of wealth, and have fixed assets, which are all preparations to prevent absconding with money.

The screening process did not take long, the big head is still the city guard, and a small benefit can also apply to join the business to get a lot of benefits, which is why the businessmen are willing to apply to join.

Li De didn't care about this, the small things were handled by his subordinates, and a week later, ten fried chicken shops were opened in various shops.

The separation of customer traffic for each store not only did not reduce profits, but also increased revenue several times.

The sales performance of the thirteen stores combined has a high profit.

The queue has now been reduced by a third from the original full street.

A month later, the brewery came with the good news that the first batch of beer was brewed with 300 barrels, and the huge 300 large wooden tongs could meet the needs of tens of thousands of people.

Li De is very willing to directly invest a large amount of production costs for the first time, and Bo is the current result.

If they lose money, Li De will let them rebrew, and then the normal experiment will be more successful.

Li De looked at the beer on the scene, the taste was pure, and directly ordered to go down and start selling beer in the fried chicken shop.

Newspaper publicity is indispensable, and beer is sold at a winery in addition to fried chicken shops.

Wholesale and retail are the same as other alcoholic beverages, that is, the price is discussed by a person in charge.

"The fried chicken and beer are really delicious together, haha."

Li De's lunch today is fried chicken and beer, 300 huge wooden barrels are sold on the street, and most of the bottles for takeaway are gourds.

The treated gourd does not have its own flavor and can be reused when used to hold beer, and the sales model at this time is still sold in bulk.
