Chapter Twenty-Four: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
After Zhao Guangyi ate and drank enough, he patted his ass and left, before leaving, he repeatedly emphasized that he would send a cook to learn from Sun Chunming tomorrow, and by the way, he gave them several big orders.
The official family is benevolent, understanding the hard work of the people, starting from next month, Kaifeng Mansion will be in charge of all the river workers' rations, which is Zhao Kuangyin's means of winning people's hearts, one of the famous good governance of the Northern Song Dynasty, supervised by Kaifeng Mansion.
This is definitely a great thing for the common people, but it is not so good for those of them who open restaurants, but the rations of this river worker have to be done, Zhao Guangyi waved his hand, and this work became their family.
Starting next month, their family will be responsible for the food rations of nearly 100,000 people, even if each person only supplies four steamed buns a day, it will be 400,000 steamed buns a day! Although the profit from this transaction is small, he can go to the volume, especially the ingredients don't need to be bought, just go to Caoyun, and there is no arrears in the monthly settlement with Kaifeng Mansion.
This is almost equivalent to Zhao Guangyi sending thousands of flowers to them every month, Sun Chunming wanted to refuse, but Zhao Guangyi said that the things they make are even praised by him, the second king, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, to find a good cook for the river workers, this is his business, and he has no intention of taking care of it at all.
This is just an appetizer, Zhao Guangyi also expressed great interest after seeing their red bricks, just when Kaifeng Mansion was going to be expanded, he directly made a decision on the spot, and gave them this live package, and the construction will start next month.
How much money can be made in this job is put aside, the key is this advertising benefit, the most important thing in the promotion of red bricks is the acceptance of the concept, everyone has lived in a wooden house for thousands of years, why should you use your bricks? Who knows if this thing is good or not.
Now it's okay, Kaifeng Mansion was built by us, who dares to say that this brick house is not good?
The largest order is a piece of land, where is the most profitable place for officials and businessmen to collude? From ancient times to the present, this answer is unique, and it is real estate.
The rations of 100,000 river workers are naturally impossible for a few people to do, and it is not possible to hire people, they must open a processing plant, and they also have to open a brick kiln, which requires a large land and investment in building a factory.
Although they have saved some money by doing business these days, they are still somewhat unable to buy land to build a factory, and this problem has also been solved by Zhao Guangyi reasonably and legally.
In the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, the first year of the exiles in Kaifeng belonged to the customers, and although the customers had to suffer many inconveniences in their status, they had an advantage, that is, they could rent and buy from the confiscated housing of the government at a low price, which was intended to resettle the refugees and sympathize with the people.
It just so happened that Luzhou Jiedu made Li Yun rebel because he was dissatisfied with Zhao Kuangyin, oh no, it can't be said that people rebelled, Zhao Kuangyin was the one who rebelled, but no matter who took the right, their family's real estate and land in the capital suddenly became ownerless.
The house must not be thought about, how many people are worried about it, but their family in the western suburbs of the city of a more than 200 acres of fertile land is not so eye-catching, Kaifeng Mansion decided to build economic housing on that piece of land to resettle the displaced people.
It just so happened that this job was also contracted to the old party, and the construction period was approved for three years in one go, that is to say, how to make Kaifeng Mansion within three years, as long as the house can be handed over after three years, only the wall needs to be covered, and the pickles should be pickled inside, and the red bricks should be burned.
The workers hired more homeless people, and when their family had enough money to buy the land, and when the work was delivered, it happened that Sun Yue and his father were customers themselves, and they took the lead in leading their own workers to jointly buy this low-rent house.
The whole process is reasonable and legal, there is no favoritism and fraud, don't say that Zhao Guangyi is the second king, that is, the imperial history can't find half of the inappropriateness when he is looking for faults.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Guangyi sat down at their house for a while and had a meal, and their family went from being poor to one of the top wealthy businessmen in Kaifeng City.
Otherwise, everything is inferior, only reading is high, and you can become an official after reading.
Zhao Kuangyin's persuasion poems were framed with a lot of money and hung high, but Sun Yue didn't see any joy, and said worriedly: "Dad, Zhao Guangyi is a selfish person, and he is by no means a righteous gentleman, and it is not necessarily a good thing that we have received such a great favor from him." ”
Sun Chunming sighed and said: "Even if I don't read history, I don't know what kind of goods Zhao Guangyi is, but that day in Kaifeng Mansion, can we still pretend to be confused in the face of such a really confused master?" Now this situation has become a tiger, if you refuse his kindness again, I am afraid that not to mention that you can't make friends, but also increase his jealousy, people give you face and you don't take it, this is a slap in the face, we can fight Wang Yansheng, can we still fight Zhao Guangyi? ”
Sun Yue also had a bitter face, and said: "Seeking skin with the tiger, I'm afraid that one day I will be bitten by the tiger." ”
Sun Chunming knocked on the corner of the already framed poem of persuasion and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and go to Wenshu?" If you are lifted one day earlier, the two of us will be at ease for a day. ”
"Oh, I know, the three watches are lit and the five watches are chickens, when I was a child, you used this sentence to train me, I didn't expect to come to the Northern Song Dynasty, but I still didn't escape this sentence."
In the evening of the same day, Sun Chunming wanted to help with the meeting, but was rejected by the family with an extremely resolute attitude.
Lao Cao and they are all authentic low-level people, who have ever seen such bells and whistles played by upper-class people, and they are all shocked by their grandfather, should this be how this money should be earned?
You can move your mouth tens of thousands of times, who would dare to let you work?
In the end, Sun Chunming was almost beaten out with a cane by Cao's mother, and Cao's mother said angrily: "I used to work for the doll to study, but now that there is no shortage of money, you still don't study?" You can just talk about business matters, don't you lack a manpower? ”
So, Sun Chunming tragically could only go to the study to practice calligraphy with Sun Yue.
He didn't want to take the imperial examination anymore, and being a wealthy businessman in the Northern Song Dynasty was actually quite dignified and face-saving, but he was a cultural person anyway, and he couldn't even write.
In less than three days, the old party came to tell him that the workers had been recruited, and there was nothing else in these years, that is, the most displaced people, and those who stuttered could give you the strength to die, and these people were put in the factory to burn bricks and pickles, and they didn't dare to say how good they could do, at least they could ensure that they didn't do badly.
As for the engineering team that really works outside, Lao Fang only picks the robes of those who have been soldiers and killed Khitans like him, and they are all bitter, and now that he has such a way to make money, he doesn't want to eat alone, and Sun Chunming has no opinion on this.
Like that ramen shop, these two businesses don't have a clear proportion of equity, and the money earned will be put on the account, and whoever uses it will take it, modern business pays attention to clear property rights, but feudal society really doesn't pay much attention to this, at least he can't say anything like this, and Lao Fang and Lao Cao They don't have much to spend money on.
Of course, in fact, Sun Chunming didn't take these two businesses seriously in his bones.
