Every program of the Wangjianglou Spring Festival Gala is exciting, especially the compilation of singing segments performed by many actors on stage in the Legend of the White Snake, and almost took everyone to watch the Legend of the White Snake briefly.

When there was only the last point left in the hourglass of recording time, Sun Xiangfu led all the actors in front of and behind the scenes who participated in the performance on the stage, there were more than 500 people, he took everyone to hold a countdown ceremony together, and in the cheers of everyone, he welcomed the arrival of the first year of Zhenguan, and since then, told the people of this era what is the New Year.

After the countdown ceremony, the performance of the party did not end, the building will be open all night, but there will no longer be such a huge performance as before, Yu Xiuer held the pipa on the stage with a sweet and bright voice after singing "Spring River Flower Moon Night", Sun Xiangfu came to the stage and told the guests that there are some musical instruments playing in the back, and the guests can choose to order a hot pot, serve some side dishes, listen to music, have a supper, or choose to go upstairs to the guest room to rest, of course, you can also choose to leave, Li Shimin has ordered the left and right guard sergeants to hold the lights in the city, The curfew for tonight has been lifted.

Some people chose to go back to rest, and more people chose to drink and eat hot pot in Wangjiang Tower, chatting and listening to music, anyway, they are excited and have no sleepiness now.

Tired like a dog, Sun Xiangfu fell asleep immediately on his own kang, he was finally able to sleep in this world with peace of mind, with so many unforgettable moments, he believed that even if he gave Wang Lin a chance to kill himself, he would hesitate, most likely he would not be a killer, they might be reluctant to let these strange things pass away in Datang like a passing cloud, Sun Xiangfu analyzed their psychology before deciding to do all this.

The first step is to reverse the idea that they want to kill themselves, and they don't know if they succeed or not. The next second step is to make himself stronger and have the ability to fight back, which may take one to two years, and he will work on it from the first year of Zhenguan.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chang'an seemed a little deserted, because many powerful people had just fallen asleep at dawn, and there was light snow in the sky at noon, which made Sun Xiangfu, who had just gotten up, feel a lot better.

"Uncle De, gather the people in the house, and give everyone two yuan of New Year's dividends after eating, all of them."

"Young master, the people in the house are very rich, and if you make a fortune, the account room is thousands of gone."

As soon as Uncle De said this, Sun Xiangfu remembered that there are really a lot of people in his house now, in addition to more than 500 restaurant waiters and more than 200 family members, there are also nearly 500 artist teams, in addition, there are more than 200 craftsmen led by Zhang Quan, Ma Lin, Wang Fu and Wang Gui brothers, and there are dozens of guards in the inner house.

"Send it! It's not too bad for two or three thousand in our house! In addition, let Jun Mai select a team of guards, and send another 5,000 to Yang Laohan's shipbuilding workshop, telling him that after the beginning of spring, he will see the first new ship launched. ”

"Gotcha! With this expenditure, if you want to use the money, you can only use the young lady's dowry. Uncle De shrugged helplessly.

Everyone saw Wangjiang Tower's daily progress and gold, but they didn't see Sun Xiangfu burning money, he was not omnipotent after crossing, so what he wanted needed to spend money for people to study.

Every dish in Wangjianglou is piled up by the kitchen workers who spend a lot of ingredients, on the stage, every exquisite design, is made by hundreds of craftsmen, I don't know how many materials have been wasted, and now Happy Village has recruited three hundred guards, it is said that they will be given at least the training of the Ouchi guards, as well as more sophisticated equipment than the Ouchi guards, each of which is not a small expense, only with the current income of Sun Xiangfu, it can only barely be supported.

"Well, the money matter must be solved, and it is time for Wangjianglou to carry out the first shareholder dividend, so call a few shareholders to take stock of the accounts together in the afternoon!"

In addition to the people on duty in the restaurant will gather in the staff canteen of the restaurant to eat, the children who go to school in the Sun Mansion, the artists who study, the guards and craftsmen stationed in the restaurant, all will eat here, so most people can't grab the seat of the table, one by one, they will hold a bowl bigger than their heads, sandwich the pile of old high dishes, find a threshold, corner, sit down and eat.

Sun Xiangfu usually eats in the room of the master of the backyard, but he missed breakfast time today, and Yu Xiu'er went to the restaurant after breakfast, so he could only come to the kitchen and eat with the servant craftsmen who only ate two meals a day.

"Village chief, the house is too small and there are too many people living in it, isn't it time to think of a way?" Sun Xiangfu only ate a few bites, and then saw Shi Dalang slipping the front hem of his official uniform in one hand and a big bowl in the other, squeezing towards Sun Xiangfu.

"Well, when I built the restaurant before, the 100 acres of land approved by His Majesty have not been used up, so go back and take part of the profits of the restaurant to build dormitories for employees! After the construction is completed, it is time for our house to be renovated. Sun Xiangfu replied, and then remembered that Shi Bao was supposed to be on the reservoir construction site with Ma Zhou, why did he come home today, so he asked again, "How is the reservoir over there?" How did you get back? ”

Shi Dalang took a big mouthful of fragrant fish soup into his mouth, and then said with an intoxicated face, "It's still delicious food at home." Isn't this just a report to you, the dams of the three large reservoirs have been built, those Turkic captives were broken up by Ma Zhou into several thousand teams, and the officers of the left guard pressed to build various small reservoirs, His Majesty's will arrived at the construction site yesterday, Ma Zhou was an official, and I don't understand a few products, but the clothes should be similar to you, and now he is temporarily responsible for inspecting the construction of all reservoirs, and our Fisheries Department will only be responsible for the cultivation of reservoir fishing grounds in the future. ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded when he heard this, he didn't expect Ma Zhou to pass Li Shimin's assessment so quickly, and handed over all the management power of tens of thousands of Turkic captives to him, he thought about it and said, "During this time when the spring water is rising, you can honestly learn cultural lessons at home!" At least learn to understand the holy decree, and when the weather warms up, I will transfer Zhang Shengye and all the officials of the Fisheries Department in Xiong Court to you, and leave the matter of storing water and releasing fish fry to you. ”

"What about the fishing tax in the ponds in the city?" Shi Bao was stunned when he heard this.

"Collect a fart tax, the merchant makes so much profit, the court doesn't collect taxes, the powerful family gate valve, even the Taoist monks don't collect taxes, just know how to bully the peasants, in the future, the tax port of the Fisheries Department will be directly abolished, raise so many people, and I haven't received a few dollars a year, and it's all the money of the people, or else, everyone has to be used to do business, and I will go to the palace to explain when I go back." Sun Xiangfu said this, and Shi Bao also felt that it was very reasonable, so he continued to ask Sun Xiangfu for advice while eating.

After the meal, Sun Xiangfu soon arrived at Wangjiang Tower, and not long after, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Dugumou, and Lawyer Pei and Changsun Chong, who had been living in the guest room of the restaurant last night, all arrived, so everyone sat down in the conference room in the office area on the second floor, ready to hold the annual meeting.

First of all, Hongmei and Chuntao reported the restaurant's revenue last year.

As of last night, a total of 387,200 yuan had been received at the counter of Wangjianglou, and more than 23,000 yuan of arrears had not been collected, mainly the emperor's royal private room and several shareholders signed accounts.

The expenditure reached 223,800 yuan, mainly to pay for the food provided by the Happy Village and the families of the shareholders, as well as a small amount of utensils that the restaurant lacked, and of course, the salaries of the cooks, waiters, and entertainers.

In other words, in less than a month, Wangjianglou's net profit was as high as about 180,000 yuan, a figure that almost shook several major shareholders stupidly.

In the end, Sun Xiangfu proposed to take out 30,000 yuan from the profit to build a staff dormitory building, after all, the restaurant is everyone's industry, although Sun Xiangfu is the largest shareholder, but it is not a matter to live in his house, plus buryed, that is more than 1,000 people!

In this regard, everyone has no objections, and they all raised their hands to pass, and then, the remaining money is divided according to the shares, Sun Xiangfu accounts for forty percent of the shares, and there is basically no unpaid accounts for signing a bill, so he will get 60,000 yuan. The eldest grandson Chong got 45,000 guan on behalf of the prince's East Palace, but after deducting the signed account of the royal private room, he could only get more than 20,000 guan, and Qin Qiong took 15,000 guan.

The rest of Yu Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Dugumou and Lawyer Pei each got 7,500 yuan, of course, several of them had some signed accounts that were not paid, and they could only get five or six thousand yuan, but even so, when these people heard this number, they were all star-stricken, and no one was blushing at Sun Xiangfu to get a dividend of 60,000 yuan.

Everyone knows how much Sun Xiangfu paid for this Wangjiang Tower during this time, in addition to the materials used in the construction of the restaurant, there are also rehearsal programs, withstanding the pressure of the imperial court, and the whole family went into battle to perform on the stage, that one, that one is not easy to complete, on the contrary, they only took a month to recover nearly half of the investment, which is simply too cost-effective.

Therefore, everyone at this shareholders' meeting was full of smiles, after hearing that in one day alone, Wangjianglou's revenue reached 100,000 yuan, everyone agreed that the day of the Shangyuan Festival must be more prosperous, so, in the afternoon, many shareholders are trying to mobilize the manpower and material resources they can use, as long as Sun Xiangfu is in need, everything will be bought for him.

"Everyone, our eyes can't just be on Chang'an. Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Yizhou are all Tongdu Dayi with a population of hundreds of thousands of households, and our next step is to consider opening branches in these big cities. ”

As soon as Sun Xiangfu said this, everyone's eyes lit up, but Qin Qiong was more sober-minded, and said, "In this case, I'm afraid that those civil officials born in a family won't be able to do it again, and besides, the local area is where their power is intertwined, and I am waiting in Chang'an, I am afraid that the whip will not be able to reach it." ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, these upstarts, that is, they can get up in Chang'an, and when they get out of the customs, the family can make it difficult for them to move an inch by flipping their palms, and for a while, there is really no certainty.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Sun Xiangfu knocked on the table and said, "We can't stop doing it because it's difficult, and opening branches in these places can make our restaurant's cuisine more comprehensive and more competitive, which is necessary in the long run." ”

In fact, he didn't say Sun Xiangfu's real purpose, and the people sitting here may not understand it, he has only one purpose from beginning to end, to enrich the people, this people is the people of the peasants, and if you want to enrich the people, you must first create an output that can make them rich.

Where did the cost of more than 200,000 yuan of Wangjiang Tower go? A small part of them went to Happy Village, and the other large part went to the hands of the farmers at the bottom, who provided raw materials and ingredients for craftsmen, and even served as the down-line suppliers of several major industries in Happy Village, and carved up these benefits, and where did the money come from? In the hands of the rich in Chang'an City, the poor have rigid needs, and having money will definitely improve their lives, and the rich can earn back some money from them.
