Zong Xiu was also stunned when he heard this, he came to help enclose the land?

Who found it?

Zong Xiu remembered what he said to Le Zhengyang last night: Come back to Jiang Jian to help hire people, and Le Zhengyang is from Shuzhong, and he is not familiar with life in Chang'an, so he can't find anyone.

Zong Xiu looked at the craftsman who was following Jiang Jian and asked, "Who asked you to come?" ”

A man with a national character face arched his hand and said, "Sect President, we are here on the order of Duan Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. ”

"Duan Lun?"

Zong Xiu knew that the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry was Duan Lun, but he was not familiar with Duan Lun.

Besides, what does his own enclosure and building a house have to do with the Ministry of Industry?

The two are not familiar with each other, why did Duan Lun ask the craftsmen directly under the Ministry of Industry to help him?

Help is helped, and do you want money? What does it mean?

Another civil engineering team leader said: "Sect President, Duan Shangshu said that you have a lot of things to build, and you will go to ordinary craftsmen for a while, I'm afraid there are not enough people." And we have leisure recently, so it's better to come to you to find some casual work, so that we can earn some money to help supplement the internal treasury of the Ministry of Works. The cost is calculated according to the wages of the folk craftsmen. ”

Jiang Jian frowned anxiously: "President, if you just repair the mansion, you won't say anything, but you have surrounded the wasteland on both sides of the river, and just pulling the wall is a lot of money, which is too big." ”

Zong Xiu waved his hand, he was wondering why Duan Lun took the initiative to help him enclose the land.

Could it be what Li Shimin meant?

Last night, he knocked on the door of Dai Guan's house in the Ministry of Accounts, and put forward the idea of enclosing land, and today Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, sent his craftsman team over, if it weren't for Li Shimin's mouth, would Duan Lun dare to do this?

It's just that Zong Xiu is a little blind: What does Li Shimin mean by this? If you feel guilty because you didn't reward my mansion and want to find someone to repair the mansion for me, then just make a holy message, why do you secretly borrow Duan Lun's hand to arrange someone to come over to work?

Do your work, and ask me for money to make wool!

Zong Xiu couldn't figure it out, but he was quickly relieved.

Anyway, he wants to enclose land to build a house, build an eagle factory, and occupy more space, so he needs people to work. Since the craftsmen directly under the Ministry of Industry ask for the same amount of money as ordinary craftsmen, it is not necessary to find someone to do it.

At the moment, he clapped his head and said: "Deputy Hall Master Jiang, since the people from the Ministry of Industry are here, how much money do you need for them?" The project was contracted to the Ministry of Industry. ”

"But...... "Ginger."

Faced with a difficult color? Leaned over and whispered, "President, a few days ago, the village expansion has cost a lot of savings?" And the paper mill is also a big expense? Now we don't have enough money. ”

Of course, Zong Xiu knew that he was short of money recently, and said loudly: "It's okay. Pull up the wall for me first? The rest of the farms were built immediately across the river. ”

"Then your mansion ......"

"The small courtyard I live in now is very good, and I will plant bamboo on the wall outside? It will be convenient for the Golden Tiger to play in the future. Zong Xiu said with a smile.

“……”

Jiang Lian rolled his eyes angrily.

Get? The golden tiger is still expensive in the heart of the president, and he spends so much money to pull the courtyard wall, just to grow bamboo and raise pandas?

After Zong Xiu finished explaining, he asked Jiang Jian to bring pen and ink? A schematic diagram was drawn.

The enclosure in the north of the river is centered on the Qujiang courtyard? The upper and lower circles are two miles, and the north circle is three miles, as long as the courtyard wall is the equivalent of a huge courtyard in a small house.

As for the Eagle Factory across the river, the circle is bigger? Twenty miles up and down, and the riverside as a wall? Fifteen miles to the south.

After reading the sketch, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering also gasped: Good guys? Master Zong, this is going to encircle all the wasteland that can be circled on both sides of the Qujiang River.

After the sketch was finished, Zong Xiu pointed to the picture and asked, "How long will it take to pull the fence on such a large ground?" ”

The face of the Chinese character that spoke earlier stared at the picture? "It depends on how fast you want it to go." ”

"What do you mean?" Zong Xiu asked.

Guozi said: "We have more than 30,000 craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry? What if you all come to work? It's only three or five days' work, but this money ......"

"Money is not an issue, the sooner the better." After Zong Xiu finished speaking, he pointed at Jiang Jian and said: "The specific matter is connected with Uncle Jiang, I have only one request, the sooner the sooner!" ”

"President ......"

Jiang Jian still wanted to say it, but Zong Xiu had already waved his hand: "Deputy Hall Master Jiang don't say much, of course I know that such a large piece of land is a big expense just for the courtyard wall." But our business can't wait. ”

"Uh...... That money ......"

"You don't have to worry about the money, take it from the money cellar first, if you don't owe it enough, we will pay it back slowly, I don't believe that Duan Lun still dares to ask me to collect the debt."

“……”

In Jiang Lian's unexplained eyes, Zong Xiu asked Jiang Lian to shout out all the work with good character and clever mind that he picked out last time, and led everyone to find Shi Wen.

When Zong Xiu led the No. 100 people to the paper mill, he studied under Wen Zheng and An Boyi and stood on the edge of the newly dug paper washing pond.

The two were about to say hello, when they heard Zong Xiu say: "Shi Congwen, these are the subordinates I found for you, you will go to my house tomorrow, get the title deed and house deed, and then go to Chang'an City to take over the Chai family's shop." ”

"Shops? So what business are we going to do? ”

Shi Congwen asked.

Zong Xiu thought for a while and said, "Does the grocery store know?" From needles and threads to wealth, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, anyway, as long as it is commonly used in people's lives, we sell it. ”

"This ...... Master, the profit from grocery trading is meager, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make a few dollars. ”

Shi's family is a wealthy businessman in Yuhang, and there are dozens of large and small shops under his name, and Shi Wenwen naturally knows what business makes money and what business does not make money.

Zong Xiu smiled mysteriously: "What do you know, this is called a supermarket chain, also known as a supermarket!" I've got the name in mind, and it's called 'Tianxiahui, National Chain Convenience Store'. Don't look at one thing, you can't make a few dollars, but let's go to the volume! When the people of Chang'an City are accustomed to visiting supermarkets, quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes. ”

“……”

Supermarket chains? Another new term.

Shi Congwen pursed his mouth: To put it bluntly, isn't it still a grocery store?

Seeing that the teacher was puzzled, Zong Xiu explained with a smile: "The shops that the Chai family gave us are all in the best locations in each square, and one in each square, with a large area and a good location, what do you do if you don't run a supermarket chain?" ”

"Of course, I know that the early profits of selling needles, threads, brains, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are meager, but we are short of manpower now, and it is mostly a loss to do other businesses, but the necessities of life are indispensable for the people."

"I've looked at the layouts of the major shops, and some things have to go through several shops to buy them all. If we could get all the things that the people needed and buy them all in one place, would they not come? ”

"Isn't the merchant's goods connecting the north and the south just to bring convenience to the people? Do what I tell you first, and if you don't make money after a month, then do the rest. ”

Zong Xiu had made up his mind, and Shi Congwen said helplessly: "Yes! ”

Zong Xiu pointed to the people who brought him: "They are all guys from the printing house and the new style, and they have been selected after layers of screening. Now that we have more shops, we must promote some people to be shopkeepers. You've been working hard lately to teach them how to be a good shopkeeper. As for the guys in each store, let them recruit themselves. ”

The business is getting bigger and bigger, and Zong Xiu is also powerless. After all, he is alone, he doesn't know how to doppelgänger, and he doesn't have unlimited energy, so how can he do everything himself, and he will take care of everything.

So Zong Xiu has been trying to cultivate talents, and then slowly decentralize power and establish his own team.

Don't look at these guys who used to be from the bank, but their minds are not stupid, and their character is reasonable.

Zong Xiu believes that as long as you teach slowly, you will definitely be able to teach a few talents.

Shi Congwen sighed, looked at their honest faces, and their excited expressions after being promoted to shopkeeper, and said, "Master, that student try, if the teaching is not good, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning, I believe in you!"
