Small money, real sweet.

Ye Hua's eyes were shining, he couldn't wait to know the situation of wood furniture, although it didn't take much time to sell, but the sales were hot, and the reservation fee alone was not a small amount!

Sure enough, according to Zhao Pu's calculations, the furniture has a profit of about 30,000 guan, all of which add up to more than 180,000 guan, which is not a small amount.

Ye Hua is not a person who has never seen money, but this time the money, to put it bluntly, every copper plate has Ye Hua's sweat. Whether it is going to the countryside to buy grain, or setting up an iron-smelting workshop, making ironware, and making furniture, all of them have poured their hearts and souls into it, and they have all been paid in earning.

Therefore, how to distribute it is particularly important.

In the past, Ye Hua bought the generals in the northwest, and in order to settle the party items, he could throw tens of thousands of dollars out, anyway, it was the money from speculating on the land, and he didn't feel distressed, and Boss Guo paid for him.

Not this time, it's all your own money, you must think about it, you can't be sloppy!

"Mr. Zhao, what do you think should be used?" Ye Hua asked Zhao Pu's opinion.

"Master Hou, I see that the Dou family is menacing, they have reorganized the craftsman supervisor, there are 3,000 craftsmen alone, three times more than us, if you want to fight with them, the workshop will be expanded!"

Ye Hua thought for a while and agreed, "In this way, take out 80,000 yuan, increase the number of blast furnaces to 20, build another 50 waterwheels, and invite some master craftsmen who make weapons, hand over farm tools to ordinary craftsmen, concentrate the best manpower, and make every effort to build weapons!" ”

Zhao Pu bowed, "I'll hand it over when I turn around." By the way, Master Hou, now that the three are competing, the price of iron ore and charcoal will be higher and higher, why not stock up on some first? ”

"Yes, it is true that there is a stockpile, just by the Wuzhang River, choose a place, build a warehouse, and allocate 20,000 yuan for the time being."

Zhao Pu thought for a while, and then said: "There is one more thing, Hou Ye asked me to choose the part, I have already recruited 200 people, Hou Ye has to prepare food, weapons, and war horses...... It doesn't seem like a small amount of money! ”

When Ye Hua heard this, his head was big.

Nothing is as expensive as raising soldiers!

Especially the elite trilogy, it was smashed with money!

Taking the Gao family as an example, the family of the tribe has to give 100 acres of land, 2 stone of grain per person every month, 3 yuan of money, all year round, clothes and fabrics, weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, and war horses!

One horse per person is not enough, at least three horses per person!

One horse can eat as much as ten soldiers!

To raise soldiers, you need a school field, and to raise horses, you need a horse farm......

Ye Hua couldn't think about it, if he counted it the same, his income was not enough to be wasted, no wonder the Northern Song Dynasty took out seventy percent of the financial income to raise soldiers, and as a result, he also raised a lot of waste snacks, what a bottomless pit!

"The matter of the trilogy, 200 people will be recruited for the time being, and they will be trained first." Ye Hua took a deep breath and clenched his fists, no matter what time it was, he couldn't play without money!

The more eager he is now, he will even grab the ordnance order at any cost, not only to expand the workshop, but also to produce high-quality weapons and arm his own troops, killing two birds with one stone!

Since being named the champion Hou, Ye Hua has been thinking about establishing his own "champion camp"!

If he hadn't had this thought, he wouldn't have left the easy real estate smuggling business and gone to get some kind of business, and no one had the habit of suffering and suffering.

In fact, if you look carefully at Ye Hua's layout, you can understand his thoughts.

The army did not move the grain and grass first, so Ye Hua had to establish his own grain line, and he had to have a team to purchase agricultural products, and when necessary, these people were his logistics baggage troops.

Next, iron smelting was developed, paving the way for building weapons.

Establishment of carpentry shops, textile yards, fur shops...... It's all about munitions.

Ye Hua is not in a hurry to recruit too many people, what he has to do is to accumulate thick and thin, and it will come naturally!

When Lao Tzu pulls out the champion camp, he must be shocked by the eyeballs of the ground!

After calculating with Zhao Pu for a full hour, Ye Hua still has less than 40,000 guan left, which can be used freely.

"Master Hou, I see that there is less and less land around the capital, is Master Hou going to buy some?"

Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Zhao, did you buy it?" ”

Zhao Pu nodded embarrassedly, "The imperial court gave me 300 acres, and I bought another 150 acres." ”

"Yes, very discerning!" Ye Hua smiled, "It's really good to buy land, but I have a more important use - go, call all the craftsmen, I have something to talk to them!" ”

Talk to the craftsmen?

What is there to talk about?

Zhao Pu felt that Ye Hua was already very good to craftsmen.

The salary is given a lot, the food is good, and the boss is never beaten and scolded, there are few such owners, what else? Zhao Pu couldn't think of it, he could only call everyone according to Ye Hua's request.

Not only the iron-smelting workshop, but also the carpenter's workshop, as well as the stonemasons who originally followed Ye Huagan, were all found, and there were more than 1,000 people in the black.

Ye Hua appeared in front of everyone, with a smile on his face, his spirit was flying, and he looked more and more white and red, a young man!

"Big guy, do you remember what I told you last year?"

Last year?

It seems like a long time ago.

Ye Hua promised the stonemasons that he would let them settle down in the capital and live a good life. He also promised to the wardens of craftsmen and armouries, that they would have dignity, a prosperous life, and a free body.

Although something happened in the middle, Ye Hua went to the northwest for half a year, but he always kept the promise in his heart, and there was no way to fulfill it all for the time being, so he would honor part of it first.

For his subordinates who perform well, Ye Hua has always been unstinting with rewards.

Running a factory and leading troops are actually the same thing, and they must be rewarded and punished clearly, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of their subordinates and burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

Ye Hua's gaze swept over the dark faces, due to working under the high temperature for a long time, the skin on the face was extremely rough, and the pores were clearly visible. The blazing sparks left a little scar on the face and arms, making these tough men much older than they looked, and after twenty, they can only distinguish the age from the curvature of their backs......

After being silent for a while, Ye Hua said slowly: "Our workshop has succeeded, and the goods have been sold at a good price. There is also good news, Your Majesty is ready to order weapons from us...... Maybe the profit of building weapons is not as high as anything else, but as long as we take over the business of the imperial court, it is an affirmation of our ability, and our business will get bigger and bigger! ”

Ye Hua wanted to speak impassionedly, but in the face of the craftsmen, his tongue just couldn't be flexible!

He grinned, "Let's be honest, some of you might consider settling down." ”

Settle down?

The craftsmen were all stupid if they were struck by lightning, Ye Hua did say that he would give them a chance to change their fate, but who would have thought that it would come so soon?

Ye Hua didn't care about the surprised people, but took out the account book and announced the list of rewards.

At the top of the list was an old blacksmith, a blacksmith who couldn't even speak, and when he was in the ordnance superintendent, he told his story through the mouths of others.

Ye Hua looked at the old blacksmith, and then said with a smile: "The dumb man supervised the construction of 3,000 Quyuan plows, all qualified, and the reward was 60 times, 25 furnaces of ironmaking, 50 awards, 5 apprentices, 10 awards per person, and participated in the construction of the blast furnace, the installation of the waterwheel, and solved 7 technical problems...... Ye Hua paused deliberately, and said loudly: "All of them add up, and the reward is 300 pieces of dumb men!" ”

"In addition, the salary for three months is 15 times, and the overtime pay is 15 times!"

"The dumb man got a total of 330 runs!"

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in joyful shouts, and the craftsman next to the mute man stabbed him, and the mute man finally regained consciousness, his knees weakened, he lay on the ground, his throat surged, his face was red, and he spat out two strange syllables from his mouth for a long time, "Thank you...... "The eyes of the dumb man were full ......of tears......
