Chapter 31: I Have a Street

Will Ye Hua lose money?

Chen Shi can say this, and no one present believes it!

Needless to say, Chai Rong has seen his methods, the stones of the royal road can be turned over and used, as for Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin, they have bought a lot of useless stone tools to put at home, and they don't know why they are confused and join the ranks of the chopping party.

All in all, they absolutely didn't believe that Ye Hua would lose money!

This kid must have a knack for making money, and he can make a lot of money!

At this time, Chai Rong lacked nothing, but he lacked money. He just went to Kaifeng to survey the camp field, the so-called camp field, from the end of the Tang Dynasty, by the household directly managed farmland, to put it bluntly, is the official field, the court is responsible for recruiting people to cultivate, the harvest of eight CD to hand over to the court, to pay for various expenses.

After years of war, the Central Plains withered, the water conservancy project was abandoned, and the people's income for a year was not even enough to pay the taxes of the imperial court.

Like cattle rent, farmland farming is a malpractice that must be reformed.

But how to reform, Guo Wei's subordinates have two views, one is that it should be sold to the people at a price, and the other is that it should be handed over to the people for free.

There are pros and cons to these two methods, and Chai Rong went to investigate to determine which one to use. He looked around Kaifeng for a few days, and the people were destitute, full of low adobe houses, dim and dirty, and the children were all black and thin, without even clothes, and running around with bare buttocks.

Not to mention children, even the clothes on the adults are patches and patches, and there is still flesh in some places. Eating is even worse, worse than livestock, and almost everyone is struggling to live or die.

After Chai Rong saw it, he made up his mind that the camp must be given to the people for free, and it must not be squeezed anymore.

But then again, if you don't oppress the people, where is the money to raise soldiers?

In addition, the matter of welcoming Liu Yun has been almost done, according to Feng Dao's suggestion, it is necessary to choose an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony, even if it is saved, the emperor will ascend the throne and reward the three armies, it will still cost millions of yuan.

Such a big expense, I am worried about the individual!

"Ye Hua, I did the math, if you don't add money to the meal, you won't be able to earn it. Or do you have another way? ”

Chai Rong is a shrewd person, Ye Hua hurriedly smiled, "That business, small business, hard work to get rich, profits can still be squeezed." ”

Ye Hua crossed his fingers and settled the account for Chai Rong.

Doing business in the capital, the biggest expense is rent, fortunately, Wang Jun gave him the property, and this expense is gone.

The second is personnel expenses, don't worry about it at all, doesn't Ye Hua have 500 stonemasons! Among these stonemasons, seventy percent are apprentices, not everyone is suitable for knocking stones, they were arrested in the past, there is no way, Ye Hua took out a few smart and diligent ones, plus some of the stonemasons' families, a little training, that is.

"Making yellow braised chicken is not a big meal, you don't need smart cooking skills, how many ingredients to add, how long to stew, you have to stipulate, as long as you do it a few times, and you save the money to hire a chef."

Chai Rong nodded, "And what about the raw materials?" ”

"This is better, the rice is shipped from Jiangnan, which is not expensive. As for chickens, this village where I used to live is a chicken, and my uncle's family has several hundred. ”

Chai Rong frowned, and said curiously: "So your uncle is quite rich?" Then why didn't he give you something good, look, it's thin and bamboo-like! ”

Ye Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head, his uncle was not a good person, but there was a reason why he didn't give him food, Ye Hua explained: "Our village is for Su Xianggong to raise chickens. ”

"Su Xianggong?" Chai Rong frowned and said, "Is it Su Fengji's thief?" ”

"Well, that's him!" Ye Hua said: "Su Xianggong likes to eat chickens, so he asked several villages to raise chickens for him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kuangyin laughed.

"I said Ye Changshi, Su Fengji is a literati, how much can he eat, a chicken a day? It's only a few hundred a year, so he needs to let several villages raise him? I don't believe it! ”

Ye Hua looked at Zhao Da, he really wanted to tell this person from the bottom of his heart, poverty limits your imagination!

"Su Fengji likes to eat chicken, but he only eats one place."

"Where? Chicken butt? Zhao Kuangyin said curiously.

Ye Hua almost burst out laughing, please you are also the one who wants to be the emperor, a little imaginative, okay? It's just that you like Qilixiang!

Chai Rong was also amused by Zhao Da, and he thought, "It's chicken tongue, right?" ”

Ye Hua nodded hurriedly, "Have you eaten it too?" ”

Chai Rong shook his head and sighed: "I've heard that Su Fengji is greedy and extravagant, and likes food the most, especially chicken tongue soup, and he has to slaughter hundreds of chickens in a small bowl. If you count his fox friends and dogs, it is not impossible to eat thousands of chickens in one meal, no wonder he has to let several villages raise chickens for him! ”

Chai Rong slapped the table fiercely, "It's cheap to cut him in half, it should really be a thousand cuts!" Zhao Kuangyin also scolded: "Grandma's, that grandson is too good at eating!" Envoy, do you want to dig him out of the grave, crush his bones and scatter ashes, and throw him in the moat to feed Wang Ba! ”

Although Chai Rong was angry, he was calm enough, he shook his head, "Liu Yun is about to enter Beijing, everything is safe, don't make trouble." ”

It turned out that after Guo Wei entered Kaifeng, the little emperor Liu Chengyou was arrested by Zhao Kuangyin, and the rest of the guys, Prime Minister Su Fengji, Uncle Li Ye, the emperor's henchman Guo Yunming, and Kaifeng Mansion Yin Liu Ba, none of them ran away.

Guo Wei was not polite at all, they were all executed, and their blood was used to pay tribute to the dead family members.

Including the little emperor Liu Chengyou, they were all slaughtered by Chai Rong himself, and his heart and liver were dug out, of course, he was killed by Guo Yunming, they couldn't rescue him, and he shed a few tears.

Now listening to Ye Huayi, Chai Rong suddenly felt that he was too light, and he was simply cheaper than these beasts!

A chicken eats only one tongue, it's unheard of!

Of course, Su Fengji's actions are not useless, at least they have given birth to the chicken industry. He died, many villagers' chickens had no way to sell, and they could only be sold in the capital, and the villagers did not understand the rules of the capital, and they did not know how to do business, and they were often blackmailed by officials and ruffians, making them miserable.

It happened that half a month ago, the old lady of the Ye family came out to buy vegetables and met the villagers, and after chatting, the old lady talked to Ye Hua and wanted to ask him if there was a way.

"We need some in our house, but we can't eat so much, and whoever buys or doesn't buy someone will cause gossip. Grandson, do you see if there is a way to collect all the chickens raised by the big guys? ”

Ye Hua rolled his eyes slightly, and then thought of a way, "Don't worry, big mother, your grandson will never treat the villagers badly." ”

……

"Envoy, I opened this restaurant, one is to solve the difficulties of the villagers, and the other is to provide convenience for the big guys. Especially the brothers in the army, many people are still bachelors, and the food in the army is not good, everyone comes to eat openly, I lose a few pennies at most, but let the big guy eat happily, what a good thing! Besides, not everyone is a pot-bellied man, small profits and quick turnover, can always make some hard-earned money, I am ready to increase the food delivery business when I look back, and I can also recruit more errands, sweat my own sweat, eat my own food, and be practical! ”

Ye Hua said sincerely, and Zhao Kuangyin listened to it with sincere admiration, "Ye Changshi, no matter what, I can't let you lose." Look back, whoever comes from the army and can eat, add 5 yuan for food, who dares not to pay, let him taste my fist! ”

Ye Hua hurriedly bowed down to thank him, Chai Rong asked a few more words, and found that Ye Hua really didn't have any calculations, he was also full of food and drink, and he was ready to leave.

At this time, Chen Jian suddenly spoke, and he said quietly: "Ye Changshi, you promised to give 500 stonemasons to settle in the capital. According to what you said, small profits but quick turnover, genuine, I'm afraid I can't afford to buy a house in 10,000 years! ”

Groov!

Chai Rong's footsteps stopped suddenly!

Sure enough, this kid is hiding a hand!

But what is he hiding? Chai Rong couldn't think of it, and it happened that two scribes from Kaifeng Mansion ran in from outside, and came directly to Ye Hua, and they smiled and said: "Ye Changshi, everything you explained has been done, this is the house deed and the title deed, and the whole street is yours!" ”
