Chapter 507: The Way to Make Money
Qi Wangfu.
According to Li You's arrangement, Gao Zhiming held a banquet in the Qi Palace's Mansion for three consecutive days, and made all the special delicacies in the areas where the Eastern Expeditionary Army passed through, so that the people in the Qi Palace's Mansion also tasted the food that the prince had gone out to enjoy.
After the excitement, Li You began to work in the research institute again.
The food of the Qi Palace's palace is the best in the world, and the court dignitaries, including the imperial dining room of the imperial palace, often send people to practice and learn from experience. With the gradual increase in the number of people, it has become a big burden for the dining department of the Qi Palace.
On this day, Wang Liao, the chief of the catering department of the Qi Palace, and Gao Zhiming, the chief chef, came to Li You and reported the matter to him, and Li You also felt a little troublesome. said, "Let's come up with a recipe." ”
Wang Liao and Gao Zhiming were reluctant, the recipe was the guy they ate, the food of the Qi Wangfu was famous, and they, the chefs of the Qi Wangfu, had a very high status, and they could walk with their chin in the chef world. What advantage do they have over publishing the recipe?
Seeing that they were unwilling, Li You smiled and said, "What can you do, you guys are too troublesome?" ”
Wang Liao said: "Then so be it, the slave and maid are willing to trouble." ”
In fact, training chefs for others is a very effective means of socializing, many powerful people in order to get in touch with the Qi Palace, ask to train chefs for them, and then take this opportunity to thank Li You, the king of Qi.
Wang Liao and Gao Zhiming Li You said: "I have a way to let you gain fame and fortune." ”
Gao Zhiming said: "Please also ask the prince for advice." ”
Li You said: "Chefs are a big industry, but how to distinguish the level of chefs? You study and study and formulate a unified set of standards, and I suggest to the imperial court that it be implemented in the whole of Datang, and a special institution will be established to evaluate the chefs of Datang, and then issue qualification certificates according to their level.
The chef certificate is very important, it represents the identity and qualifications of the chef. With this certificate, chefs have a corresponding status, which not only makes it easier for them to pursue the profession of chef, but also promotes the pursuit of culinary excellence in order to rise to a higher level.
This institution has been established, and the two of you will serve as the chief and deputy directors of this institution, and other chefs from our Qi Palace's Mansion can also serve as judges. With these identities, all the chefs of Datang can be counted as your disciples in the future.
Of course, you officials will also have a corresponding share of the salary. What do you guys think? ”
"Oh, that's great, the slaves will." Wang Liao and Gao Zhiming suddenly became excited.
Soon after, under the guidance of Li You, Wang Liao and Gao Zhiming came up with a set of chef assessment plans and formulated a corresponding grading system.
As Datang's professional qualification certificate, the chef certificate is divided into five levels according to grades:
Elementary (Datang Vocational Qualification Level 5)
Intermediate (Datang Vocational Qualification Level 4)
Senior (Datang Vocational Qualification Level 3)
Special Grade (Datang Vocational Qualification Level 2)
Master (Datang Vocational Qualification Level 1)
After everything was ready, Li You took this plan to the East Palace and discussed the matter with Li Chengqian.
Households.
Gao Jingming, the head of the household, was holding a meeting in the office room, when the white tiger came, he said: "Lord Gao, my prince invites you to go to the East Palace with him." ”
Gao Jingming likes to hear the news of His Royal Highness King Qi the most, as long as His Royal Highness King Qi calls himself, it must be a good thing. He immediately put down what he was doing and came to the East Palace.
After listening to Li You's introduction, Gao Jingming immediately took out his abacus and counted it cracklingly. He has now learned the new abacus method invented by Li You, and the results are quickly calculated.
Gao Jingming said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the issuance of a chef qualification certificate, a certificate costs 500 yuan, and the issuance of a consistent money is half a cost, and a certificate can earn consistent money." There are 1,795 counties and 393 states in the country, with an average of 300 people in one place, which adds up to 656,400 yuan. That's a lot of money. "He is a pragmatic person, and his calculations are conservative, and there are no less than 10,000 people in Chang'an alone.
Li Chengqian originally felt inconspicuous, but after Gao Jingming's calculation, he said with some surprise: "So many." ”
As soon as he mentioned making money, Gao Jingming's train of thought opened, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister suggests that not only chefs should take the qualification certificate, but all craftsmen can take the qualification certificate, obediently, how much does it cost?" ”
Li Chengqian finally understood, and he said happily: "I really didn't expect that just such a thing could create so much wealth for the imperial court." Fifth brother, I really don't know how your head grows, it's so smart. ”
Li You said: "Big brother, tall man, the implementation of the industry grade assessment system is not to make money, but to promote the development of all walks of life and improve the scientific and technological level of the entire lobby, which is much more important than making money." ”
Subsequently, Li Chengqian, Li You and Gao Jingming asked to meet Li Shimin together, and with his consent, the Datang Industry Qualification and Qualification Assessment Office was established, which was affiliated to the Minsheng Research Institute.
Research institute.
Yu Chi Baoqi came to see Li You and said, "Lord Wang, according to your instructions, the technology of papermaking is very mature. The minister has brought some finished products, please take a look. ”
Li You looked at it and said, "Let's go, carry the box, and follow me into the palace." ”
Liangyi Palace, study.
When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian and Li You asking to see him, he let them in. When he saw Yu Chi Baoqi and others behind him carrying a big box, he knew that the research institute had come up with something new, and he said, "What is it this time?" ”
Yu Chi Baoqi and Bai Hu opened the box and took out writing paper, kraft paper, paper bag paper, whiteboard paper, tracing paper, drawing paper, map sea drawings, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, cotton paper, as well as various colors of wax paper, cold gold, wrong gold, ribs, mud gold and silver painting, calender paper and other precious papers, as well as a variety of rice paper, wallpaper, flower paper and dozens of other kinds.
Yu Chi Baoqi introduced the idea of various uses of paper.
Li Shimin happily picked up the pen, wrote on several kinds of paper, and even drew a few strokes. "What about the cost?" he asked. ”
Yu Chi Baoqi said: "Your Majesty, the current papermaking technology can already use mulberry bark, rattan bark, bamboo, sandalwood, wheat stalks, rice stalks, pine, reeds, beet residue and other raw materials to produce paper, and the price is very cheap. ”
He picked up a blank piece of paper with two openings and said, "Your Majesty, look at this piece of paper, it costs less than a penny, and the minister can responsibly say that in the future, people in the whole Tang Dynasty will never be able to afford books again." ”
Li Shimin was very excited and said, "Well done, Baoqi, you have made a great contribution, and I will reward you heavily." ”
Yu Chi Baoqi said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to take credit. This is all the credit of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
Li Shimin said: "Several of you have merit, and I want to reward you heavily." ”
Li Shimin and Li You have been brewing a big plan very early, and it is time for this plan to start to be implemented.
