Chapter 53 Movable Type Printing Activities

As for whether Wu Li can use it with confidence, Li Zhonghua is not too worried, he has trained a group of professional financial personnel and warehouse management personnel before the opening of Chang'an Restaurant.

Although these people are placed in the enterprises of later generations, they are simply amateurs, and they are not enough to see at all.

But in this era, it is definitely the most professional.

They will make accounting forms, financial weekly reports, financial approvals, strictly control the expenditure of every money, master the use of Arabic numerals, and make financial statements for daily incoming and outgoing accounts, which are clear at a glance.

As long as two financial managers and two warehouse managers are assigned, they can basically control the operation of the winery.

Moreover, the equipment for distilling liquor, together with the old workers, will be transferred to this distillery, and the old and new workers will be mixed.

This is not to say that Li Zhonghua does not believe in Wu Li at all, this is just a management method, and it is not burned.

As for the tens of thousands of catties of fruit wine, of course Li Zhonghua would not waste it, he instructed Wu Li to seal it well, and not to waste it casually.

If he didn't tell him, Wu Li thought that these wines were useless.

It doesn't matter if it is taken and drunk by the workers, if it is poured into the river by Wu Li's workers and disposed of, then Li Zhonghua will really be heartbroken.

Everything seems to have been on the right track, and the fame of Chinese new wine is also spreading rapidly, especially by some people from the Western Regions, Turks, Goguryeo and others.

Mo Nan and Mo Bei, the Goguryeo people, where they live, are all bitter cold places, especially the land of Mobei, it is not a very strange thing to fly snow in June, more than half of the year, it is a land of ice and snow, bitter cold.

After drinking the new Chinese sake, it can make people feel hot and resist the cold, which is stronger than anything else.

Many people wanted to sell new Chinese liquor, but Li Zhonghua always refused the merchants' requests on the grounds that the production was limited.

Li Shimin even issued a holy decree, ordering Li Zhonghua not to produce medical alcohol privately and sell it to merchants outside the imperial court.

Only by ensuring the scarcity of goods can we ensure the maximization of profits, how can Li Zhonghua not understand this truth?

However, with the expansion of production capacity, it is no longer enough to rely on the consumption and sales of Chang'an Restaurant.

Even if you want to sell it, you can't sell it in Chang'an, and in Chang'an City, it is enough to have your own Chang'an restaurant to sell.

The best way, of course, is to recruit agents, but unfortunately, in this era, there are no newspapers, radio, television, five networks, and there is no way to put any advertisements.

Wait a minute! In Li Zhonghua's mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, without a newspaper, wouldn't he have run his own family?

If you think of it, you can do it, and starting a newspaper is not a difficult thing even in this era.

Li Zhonghua found the boss who engraved the advertising leaflet last time and told him what he meant, but the boss shook his head with a wry smile and refused.

The owner of the printing workshop, whose surname is Bi, is called Bi Zhang, who has been an engraving and printing craftsman for generations, and he said: "According to Gongzi, a different newspaper must be printed every day, and tens of thousands of copies are printed every day, and no one can do it."

It is not so easy to engrave articles, a teacher pays, how many words can be carved in a day, there is a fixed number, the son does not understand the hard work of our industry, not to say. ”

Li Zhonghua suddenly realized and understood the meaning of Bi Zhang, and then he thought that movable type printing had not yet been invented in this era, and every word needed to be carved by craftsmen, and if he wanted to print newspapers, even if it was only one issue a month, I am afraid it would be difficult to do.

However, Li Zhonghua came from a later life, and he said to Bi Zhang: "I have a way, maybe I can help you." ”

"What can Childe do, there is no shortcut to engraving, every word must not be sloppy." Bi Zhang said without much hope.

So many engraving artists have not been able to find any shortcuts, Li Zhonghua is just a layman, what can he do?

"I have a question for you, how much income do you make a year when you run such a printing shop?"

Bi Zhang was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, does personal income have anything to do with the method you want to say?

Despite this, Bi Zhang still told Li Zhonghua that he relied on the income of his labor, and neither stole nor robbed. There is nothing unspeakable about income.

"I'm going to buy your printing shop, you can make a price!" Li Zhonghua said.

"Childe said with a smile, this printing shop is handed down by my Bi family's ancestors, and it is also my Bi family's rice bowl, and the angry old man can't cut his love." Bi Zhang shook his head and said with an obviously unhappy look.

Li Zhonghua didn't have the intention of forcing Bi Zhang to sell his ancestral business.

"You don't want to sell your ancestral business, and I won't force you, but you have to sign an agreement with me, and in the future, your bookstore, Jing will only be dedicated to me, and I will guarantee your income, at least several times that of before, how about it?"

"Childe, how can the old man believe you?" Although Bi Zhang was moved, he still asked cautiously.

"It's very simple, how the printing house will operate in the future, what you want to print, you just need to listen to my arrangement, give you a fixed income every month, just double what you just said, and at the end of the year, there will be a very generous bonus." Li Zhonghua said with a smile.

With a considerable and stable income, Bi Zhang was of course very happy and gladly accepted Li Zhonghua's conditions.

Li Zhonghua told Bi Zhang about the movable type printing method he knew, and asked him to immediately hire more people to create a large number of characters, especially some commonly used characters.

Bi Zhang listened to Li Zhonghua's movable type printing method, and immediately got his senses, and said with great regret: "Such an ingenious method, why didn't the old man think of it?" Childe is so smart. ”

Li Zhonghua smiled and didn't say anything, he couldn't tell Bi Zhang that this was invented by a person named Bi Sheng more than 400 years later.

Thinking that the two of them are surnamed Bi, maybe this Bi Zhang is still Bi Sheng's great-grandfather, great-great-great-grandfather.

Let's say that Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, mentioned in his recital that Li Zhonghua, the king of Shu, mentioned that in his conversation, Li Zhonghua suggested that the imperial court carry out currency reform, establish the Tang Central Bank, and issue Tang treasure banknotes.

In addition, Li Ke, the king of Shu, introduced in detail the establishment of the Datang Central Bank and the significance of issuing the Datang treasure banknotes.

If it were other ordinary people, Li Shimin would not take it to heart, but Li Shimin's suggestion would not be taken lightly.

Not to mention the more than 100 poems that can be passed down through the ages, whether Li Zhonghua wrote them alone, just talking about his ability to make money, Li Shimin was impressed.

Chang'an Restaurant has only been in business for more than a month, and the tax paid to the imperial court on its own initiative is as much as 3,000 yuan.

In two months, he not only earned 50,000 yuan to buy a house, but also spent 50,000 yuan to redeem himself for the first prostitute in Chang'an, Peach Blossom Fairy, not counting how much wealth he had left, in just two months, he earned 100,000 yuan, which was already very terrifying.

There is also a book written by Wang Qi, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the Arabic numeral accounting method that the imperial court is required to promote, is also from Li Zhonghua.

In fact, Li Shimin couldn't help but want to summon Li Zhonghua for a long time, but there has been no suitable reason, and now, it seems that this reason has been found.

"Someone! Give me a decree and summon Li Zhonghua into the palace to face the saint! After making a decision in his heart, Li Shimin immediately commanded.
