Li Yuanjing really didn't pay attention to the business of the cloth shop, but since the eldest grandson Wuji mentioned it, Li Yuanjing still decided to care about his only way of wealth.

Nothing can give people a more intuitive feeling than being there in person, although the heat is scorching, but the front of the cloth shop is still crowded.

The new store opened half a month ago, and the Zheng's cloth village next door is still under construction.

For the next door, Li Yuanjing completely ignored it, even if he was backed by the big tree of the Zheng family, it was impossible to attract his attention.

Because this is an asymmetrical war, it is doomed from the beginning.

"Is this thing really not afraid of fire?" Looking at the strange-looking Wanmin cloth shop in front of him, Cheng Chumo frowned tightly.

"I don't know if it's small, but that's what Master Li said!" Niu Fang replied cautiously, these are all masters, and they can't be provoked.

"Master Li?" Li Yuanjing was stunned.

"Your Highness, it's Li Yang, who proposed to repair the river last year and made a meritorious contribution, and was only promoted to the head of the capital water supervisor not long ago!" Niu Fang said that he also didn't understand, why did he have to come to the water supervisor to build a store?

But this was a candidate personally ordered by Li Yuanjing, and he didn't have to refuse, so he had to say hello.

Fortunately, the quality of the built houses is not bad, but it saves Niu Fang a lot of heart.

"Oh, it's Li Yang......" Li Yuanjing was still a little confused in his heart, how could he seem to remember that the prison was from the seventh grade, and the main thin was from the eighth grade?

It seems that I went back to talk to Li Yang, but I am the descendant of the creator of Zhaozhou Bridge, how can I get worse and worse?

For the sake of the face of everyone who is an acquaintance, Li Yuanjing has secretly decided to hand over the task of building a bridge on a newly developed island to Li Yang, a 100-meter-long concrete bridge, the first one in the Tang Dynasty, this is a political achievement that can directly send Li Yang to heaven......

"How's business going?" Ignoring Li Yang's affairs for the time being, Li Yuanjing intently inquired about business.

"Back to Your Highness, every day is very busy, if the transport team does not work overtime to catch up, there will be a gap in the store every day. And someone has been hoarding goods recently, and it doesn't feel like an opponent did it, but I can't say the specifics. Niu Fang responded with a fifteen-ten.

The production capacity of the workshop is constantly increasing, and as the workers become more skilled, the weaving speed is getting faster and faster, and dozens of new looms are installed every day.

So no matter what the sales volume of the Wanmin cloth store is in a day, the workshop can keep up.

Not to mention that the cloth shop was burned down and closed for reconstruction in the more than two months, the workshop has not been suspended, and more than 300,000 pieces of cloth have been stored in those two months, which is still a deliberate slowdown.

The layout of the new store has also undergone a major change, the biggest change being that it was able to accommodate about 5,000 pieces of cloth before, but now it can accommodate more than 10,000 horses.

The internal mode of transportation has also been changed to a certain extent, there is a big hole between the warehouse and the front hall, a pulley is placed inside, the warehouse puts the cloth on the pulley, and the front hall can be sold directly by pulling it over with a rope, eliminating the cumbersome of carrying the cloth back and forth by the personnel.

"Your Highness, in the past half a month, without today, we have a total revenue of 16.9 million yuan, a full 16,900 yuan, this money is in the store anyway, it is not very safe, more than ten of us can't sleep well every day, or Your Highness, you will transport it away?" Niu Fang asked tentatively.

Now he is the one who struggles the most every day, he is the person in charge here, and he can't explain to the above if he loses a penny, but the above still ignores these huge sums of money, and he has to get up dozens of times every night to check the treasury.

But how can the treasury put down so much money? Almost every room in the backyard is filled with money, and a person is arranged to be on duty in each room every night, but even so, Niu Fang is still not at ease, worried, afraid, and most afraid that these people will be guarding and stealing.

"Well, Liu Hu, you arrange for someone to help guard here first, and then ship it away when this king finds a place!" Li Yuanjing nodded, more than 10,000 guan were placed here, and he was not very relieved.

"Your Highness, the other is the problem of taxation, the city came to collect taxes a few days ago, and the small ones gave them the vouchers given by the household department, they said that it was not in accordance with the rules to do so, and it was best to let the household department say hello to them and go through the written procedures, otherwise there would be no way to reconcile the accounts in the future!"

"No need, I'll hand it over to Guan Shi in the future, pay as much as you want......" Li Yuanjing shook his head a little embarrassed.

Pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning, when it comes to business taxes, it is all tears.

No, it should be said that it is terrible to be uneducated, and it is clearly written on the customs order, and those who have official beards will be one out of ten.

It means that if the goods in your store are bought by the government, then you must discount, in return, the government allows the commercial tax of this part of the goods, only according to one-tenth of the normal tax amount to pay, the two are opposite, in general, the merchant takes some small advantage, but it does not take any of it.

As a result, he stubbornly understood that he was an official, one out of ten, and he misunderstood a word, and the result was very different.

made a fuss and lost hundreds of profits, Li Yuanjing didn't want to engage in these special situations anymore, let's follow the rules, don't be cheated by Li Er one day.

"Huh?" Li Yuanjing sniffed his nose fiercely, frowned slightly and asked, "What smell?" ”

Niu Fang was stunned, subconsciously sniffed his nose, and in an instant, his whole face turned pale, and he almost sat down on the ground, shouting in panic...... It's on fire......"

The whole cloth shop was in turmoil in an instant, and the people who were rushing to buy instantly scattered and fled, while the people outside desperately tried to squeeze in, the scene was very chaotic for a while, and there was even a small-scale stampede.

Li Yuanjing had to ask Liu Hu to hurry up with people to maintain order, and on the other hand, let others hurry to find the source of the fire.

Li Yuanjing took a general look at the building structure of the cloth shop, and theoretically it can indeed be completely fireproof.

The main body is a brick-concrete structure, although the roof is still made of wooden beams, but the wooden beams are covered with a layer of concrete, which can play a role in fire protection, unless it is in disrepair, the concrete may fall off and cause fire.

Soon, the people found the source of the fire.

Who would have thought that this matter would be caused by Cheng Chumo, who was idle and had nothing to do?

When I first came, I wondered if it was fireproof, but when everyone didn't pay attention, I ran to the backyard and started the experiment myself.

Fortunately, before the experiment, he put a bucket of water next to him, and when he lit the wooden beam, he did not panic, but quickly poured the bucket of water to control the fire.

Due to the timely control, the beams were not affected in any way, but some of them became the color of black charcoal.

"Are you so sick?" Li Yuanjing roared angrily.

Cheng Chumo smiled disappreciatively and said: "Your Highness, I have found the weakness of this house, as long as this layer of concrete outside does not fall off, it can be fireproof, so we must check these concrete regularly in the future......"
