Chapter 290: A day trip to Chang'an

As it turned out, the emperor was not fun at all.

Although Li Yuanji is inspired to be a good emperor who is lazy every day, the whole person feels very bored and has a feeling of wanting to be moldy.

Staying in the palace all day long is just a little thing, eating, sleeping, eating, watching cross talk, watching sketches, and occasionally summoning ministers to discuss something.

The days are not busy at all, but idle.

Idle is idle, but such a salted fish-like day is not what Li Yuanji wants, mainly because it is too boring.

"Your Majesty, it's a little bad for us to just go out like this, right?" Song Zhong's courage is getting smaller and smaller, he glanced at the Hanguang Gate behind him, and said cautiously.

"Are you afraid that others won't know I'm here with so many people?" Li Yuanji glanced at this product and asked angrily.

Where is the courage of those years? Now that I'm just out of the palace, do I need to be so scared?

"No, isn't the slave worried......" Song Zhong's face was full of grievances, and God testified.

"What is there to worry about? With my skills, three or five thieves still want to get close? Li Yuanji looked at Song Zhong with contempt, although he hadn't practiced for many years, he still felt it.

Besides, since he is going out of the palace, Li Yuanji will not be stupid and not bring a guard.

Obviously, there is indeed no one, but there are no less than a hundred dark guards around, but if there is a little abnormality, these dark guards will rush up, no matter what purpose you have, no one wants to escape.

"Your Majesty's skills are naturally incompetent, but it's just ......" Song Zhong still expressed his worries, but Li Yuanji didn't give him a chance, and turned around and left, leaving Song Zhong alone and stunned there.

In desperation, Song Zhong had no choice but to hurriedly take up a pair of his little short legs and chase after him, he is the emperor, what can he do if he wants to leave the palace?

Li Yuanji's preferred target is naturally Taipingfang, as his own nest, how could Li Yuanji not care about these?

However, after entering Taipingfang, Li Yuanji had a headache.

The people in the workshop were boiling, and there were shadows of people everywhere, and after a careful inquiry, I found out what kind of activity Luo Chen had done on the dog day, and there was a discount anyway.

The business of each shop is also unusually hot, and most of them are still old faces, but there are also many new faces, including several hot pot restaurants.

The business is not said to be hot, but it is also decent, and the flow of people is always continuous, and Li Yuanji, who is watching, is greedy.

However, when he arrived at the door of his hot pot restaurant, he saw that the queue waiting for dinner had arrived far outside the store, and Li Yuanji was relieved, and the secret road was really still a time-honored brand.

Luo Chen is very good at enjoying this product, and left a separate yard in the workshop as his office area.

Of course, it's not all, the front is changed to the customer area, and the back is his territory, and the small life is beautiful.

"Your Majesty, have ...... recently" Seeing that Li Yuanji was coming, Luo Chen hurriedly gave up his main position and continued to report on his recent work.

How to evaluate how well Luo Chen's work is done? Quite simply, word-of-mouth vs. income.

In other words, the results can be seen simply through income.

Because the Taiping Fang has been restructured as early as a year ago, all the rents have been changed to a commission model, which is not a star and a half compared to the previous income.

Good business naturally means that Luo Chen is doing well, after all, it is impossible to fake money, unless Luo Chen pays out of his own pocket to make fake accounts.

"Not bad!" After a brief glance at the account book, Li Yuanji praised with satisfaction.

The books show that last month's income was 365 guan 101 yuan, excluding operating costs, the actual profit was 345 guan.

Combined with the previous accumulation, the total book balance has reached 2,769 yuan.

In a year's time, the profit of more than 2,700 guan, according to the points of the commission, means that Taipingfang has swallowed up at least 20,000 guan of wealth in a year.

It can be described as terrifying, and Luo Chen also listed a separate table.

The above clearly shows the monthly income and profit, this figure is constantly rising, but in the last three months, the increase has been close to stable, and the monthly increase is only less than 20 times.

The data will not be false, although the data cannot explain everything, but it can explain the current problem, Taipingfang has basically reached the saturation level, and it is not impossible to continue to increase income, but the problem is also very serious, and it is a bit of a feeling that it is not worth it.

"Your Majesty, I plan to move the Taipingfang model to Luozhou, and I have also preliminarily calculated the investment cost in the early stage, and the money on the books is barely enough." Luo Chen continued to talk about his plan, and the four Taipingfang plans proposed before were now time to be implemented.

"How do you do that?" Li Yuanji was stunned, it cost a lot of money to build Taipingfang, and it seemed that the whole set cost about six or seven thousand.

Moving the Taipingfang model to other places was proposed by himself at the beginning, but it was impossible to start it with more than 2,000 yuan of funds.

"It may not be enough to calculate carefully, but it is not impossible to calculate carefully, for example, to recruit some labor, which can save a lot of money, and the court directly set aside a piece of land, which is a lot of money, and it is cement or something, you can also buy it at a low price, after all, we are a family, even if it is to take care of the interests of others, such a large project, you can also buy it at the price of an agent......"

"Wait!" Li Yuanji stopped Luo Chen's fantasy without hesitation.

Feelings, what you meow is on the mattress? Lao Tzu conscripted labor to build a road, and they were exempted from paying for a year.

Although it is to save money, if this thing is done, where will you put the royal face?

This is not a question of ability, but a question of ideology, and the problem of ideology is a disease that must be cured.

"Taipingfang is a commercial mode of operation, although it is a royal industry, but it must also follow the rules of business, if you rely on the background of the royal family, low prices everywhere, or free enclosure, let other merchants do? This is an act that disrupts the order of the market, and since I am the emperor, I should be strict with myself. Li Yuanji directly pointed out Luo Chen's problem.

Although it is a matter of left hand for right hand, since you want to do well and take on the role of a role model to guide the market, these things must be done impeccablely, and at the same time provide a template for others who want to emulate.

If it is done according to what Luo Chen said, the idea of commercialization of the imperial court is a joke, and it is impossible to succeed.

But really, it's no good at all? That's impossible, at most, it's about having some advantage in terms of policy, or some news, to give people the feeling that they can compete.

If it's just a royal game, no matter how big it is, it's just a pool of stagnant water, and there is no such situation as a hundred schools of thought contending.

"If you don't have enough money, you can go to the bank for a loan, or go to the group to borrow, this is okay, but those things on the surface must be impeccable." Li Yuanji continued.

Luo Chen was a little unable to raise his head by what Li Yuanji said, and he also realized that he might have made a huge mistake.

Luo Chen, who has already taken advantage of the night to learn mathematics, is no longer a problem with these calculations, even without pen and paper, he can calculate a rough number by mental arithmetic.

"Your Majesty, in this case, the overall cost may be more than 10,000 yuan, and it depends on the location of Luozhou, if it is a prosperous area, the overall cost may be more, even close to 20,000 yuan." Luo Chen said depressedly, according to the current income, it will take about six or seven years to get it, but the original plan was to open four seats in five years.

It is not a problem to buy cement at the price of an agent, after all, it is a big customer.

But even at this price, it costs a hundred dollars a bag, and the entire Taipingfang almost needs thousands of yuan to buy cement, as well as bricks and other miscellaneous things, and labor is also a place that cannot be ignored.

Previously, Luo Chen only calculated the cost of cement, and almost ignored the rest, so he only had a budget of two or three thousand.

"Let's go to the money bank for a loan, the scale over there can be appropriately reduced, and a few model houses can be built first, which can be sold in advance for capital return." The group has money, but with such a big gap, taking out the money over there will lead to a gap elsewhere.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Li Yuanji still asked Luo Chen to take out a loan.

It is also just the right time to expand the business of the bank, which was already on the verge of closing, after the disaster passed, it gradually recovered, and there were almost 200,000 yuan of funds on the books, and it was no problem to borrow 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

The emperor spoke, Luo Chen could only do it, but the loan was not simple at all, although they were all a family, there should still be procedures.

For example, make a detailed plan, go to Los Angeles to negotiate, agree on the land plot and price that you plan to buy, and then take a complete plan to take out a loan, and at the same time you have to use Taipingfang as a mortgage guarantee.

Luo Chen was in a hurry, but Li Yuanji was not in a hurry at all.

Coming out of Taipingfang, I came directly to the outside of the city, looking at the brand-new cement pavement, on which people walked back and forth.

The speed of the horses and vehicles seemed to be faster, and the pack horses were not as difficult as before, and Li Yuanji's face showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.

The cement road from Chang'an to Luozhou has basically been completed, and all those that can be bypassed have been bypassed, and if it is not cost-effective, bridges will be built.

It was also much easier for caravans to travel back and forth, and even provided a way for people along the way to earn a living.

The days are gradually getting better, and the world is a lot more peaceful, Li Yuanji muttered secretly, what should I do next? Being an infrastructure freak?
