Chapter 37: A flash of inspiration

At half past six the next morning, the sky was bright, and Guo Wendong got up normally.

After washing, Guo Wendong exercised in the courtyard, which is something to be insisted on for a long time.

He warms up with low-intensity aerobic exercises, then does strength exercises such as push-ups and pull-ups, and then jogs for more than half an hour after strength training.

Aerobic exercise warm-up-strength exercise-aerobic exercise is a more scientific exercise method.

Due to the lack of exercise in this body, when he first started exercising the previous month, Guo Wendong could only continue to jog for about a thousand meters and could only do 18 push-ups.

With such physical fitness, it is indeed a poor home.

After nearly two months of gradual training, I am now able to jog 2,000 meters and do 25 push-ups.

In the corner of the courtyard, Guo Wendong specially asked people to make a pair of horizontal bars.

At this time, he was doing pull-ups.

"Husband, young master!"

Mao Lingzhi and Chunxiang also came, both dressed in short beats, without makeup, and tied their hair.

Immediately, the two of them started running in the courtyard.

This is Guo Wendong's request, requiring his own women to also have physical exercise, at least physical exercise, no requirement for strength exercise.

After Guo Wendong finished the pull-ups, he jogged with the two of them.

Mao Lingzhi and Chunxiang couldn't hold on anymore after running for more than 1,000 meters, they were all out of breath and sweating, the two stopped running and walking, which is also Guo Wendong's request, they can't stop immediately after jogging, they need to walk for a while, let the body have a buffer first, and then stop completely.

Guo Wendong continued to run, ran many laps in the courtyard, and couldn't hold on after running about 2,200 meters.

After the exercise, the three of them took a bath in the large bath together, and were served by three maids, which was a beautiful enjoyment.

After taking a bath, put on normal clothes, and the three of them all rubbed cream, Guo Wendong used L'Oreal men's products, and Mao Lingzhi and Chunxiang used Estee Lauder. After the care, the two girls also put on light makeup.

After breakfast, the day's work officially begins.

Yu Yufeng came over to report to Guo Wendong.

"Young Master, as of yesterday, three hundred nurses have been recruited."

Of the 300 new nurses, most of them were selected from among the planters, and a small number were recruited from outside.

As of yesterday, Guo Wendong had purchased more than 48,000 mu of land, with more than 4,000 male growers and 1,300 female growers or breeders.

Among the land purchased, there were scattered purchases of a few acres, a dozen acres, and dozens of acres from homesteaders, and a large amount of land purchased from large landowners at one time.

In addition to exchanging land with Li Changsheng with his watch, he also purchased more than 3,000 mu from two large landowners at one time.

Among the people employed, men are responsible for cultivating staple foods, mainly rice, and women are responsible for growing cash crops and raising livestock.

Guo Wendong said: "Captain Yu, you have to work hard in the past few months, and when the nursing home is trained, you will be much easier." ”

In the future, there will be tens of thousands of planters, and many instructors will be needed to train, and some of the 300 newly recruited nurses will be assigned as instructors in the future.

Yu Yufeng alone has to coordinate the training of 300 people, and the work pressure has been very high in the past few months, and Chu Yuan also has military experience, so he will assist in the training.

There are two aspects of the gap between him and Yu Yufeng, one is the experience of managing subordinates, Yu Yufeng has been a thousand generals, and Chu Yuan was only a small soldier when he was in the army; The second is personal martial arts, Yu Yufeng is a master among the masters.

Chu Yuan was standing next to him, and Guo Wendong said to him: "You have to fully assist Captain Yu, in addition to daily work, he will try his best to guide you in martial arts." ”

Chu Yuan replied with a fist, thanking the young master and the captain.

When it comes to specific issues, discipline is the first place, and Guo Wendong must be absolutely obeyed, and orders and prohibitions must be carried out; Physical training and strength training are to be done for a long time, and on the basis of doing a good job in these two trainings, combat kung fu should be trained.

Even in the modern army, military discipline is put in the first place, and then all kinds of training are carried out.

After the two went out to get busy, Guo Wendong called Kong Huiyun and Mao Lingzhi from the account room.

This starts with taking stock of the previous month's income and expenditure.

The three of them all came to the main room, and Kong Hui also brought the account book.

Kong Huiyun said: "Young master, a total of 485093 taels were received last month, of which 387693 taels were received from the foreign goods store and 97,400 taels were received from Qingxiu Hall. A total of 45,190 7 taels were spent, of which 43,170 acres of land were purchased, and 437305 taels were spent. Please take a look. ”

He gave the ledger to Guo Wendong.

Guo Wendong looked at it in detail, and recorded the income and expenditure in the account book in great detail, because of the large amount of land purchased, he only achieved a slight surplus last month.

Mao Lingzhi also looked at the account book, and her husband was able to show it to her to prove his trust in her.

Kong Huiyun, as the account office, is only responsible for Guo Wendong, and the income of foreign goods stores and medical centers is generally stored on the same day.

He strictly checks all expenses, except for the young master who directly takes the money, the expenses handled by others must be issued vouchers.

As for the expenses of buying land, except for Guo Wendong giving money to the seller, it is generally paid by the bookkeeper, without going through the Fang Jie ceremony or the hands of others.

Kong Huiyun is not the only one who manages the accounts, and there are three people under his jurisdiction.

The account room is equivalent to modern finance, Kong Huiyun is equivalent to the financial manager, and there are three finances below.

After Kong Huiyun went out, Guo Wendong called Fang Jieli in again.

After coming to the main house, Fang Jieli yawned, and during this time, he was too busy, not only to take care of the affairs of the Guo Mansion, but also to take care of the management of foreign goods stores, and to assist in the purchase of land.

Guo Wendong said: "Uncle Fang, I have worked hard for you recently, and I will hand over the purchase of land to others in the future, and the position of housekeeper will also be handed over to others." You'll be in charge of business in the future. ”

Fang Jieli is the same generation as his father and can be regarded as friends, Guo Wendong and Mao Lingzhi have called him "Uncle Fang" since childhood.

Guo Wendong has seen Fang Jieli's business talents, and he must make the best use of them.

Now with a large amount of capital, if there are business masters to manage, the success rate of entering other industries is very high.

Fang Jieli yawned again and said, "Young Master Xie is compassionate!" In addition to foreign goods, I think that cloth, tea, inns, brothels in green houses, ceramics, pawnbrodles, tailors, blacksmiths, and so on can be made. As long as it is done well, any industry can make a profit. ”

Hearing the words "blacksmith shop", Guo Wendong seemed to be inspired, and his brain thought about it.

He trained the planters by buying land and hiring them directly, which was a way to hide their eyes, but no matter how well they trained, if they lacked combat weapons, even many people would be killed.

Prior to this, Guo Wendong had not found a solution to the source of the weapons.

Soon, Guo Wendong got along, and said secretly: ""The blacksmith shop can also build weapons!" ”

You can start by opening a few blacksmith shops, train more skilled blacksmiths, and stock up on steel and other raw materials.

Of course, usually the blacksmith shop is in the open business, making farm tools, kitchen knives and other metal products for sale, and when necessary, the blacksmith can turn to making weapons.

As for how to secretly build weapons without being discovered, and how to store them, I will figure out a way later.
