Chapter 162: Shadows
Xiaoxiao thought about Zhu Youxiao's words carefully, and found that it did make sense, she knew that Zhu Youxiao talked about this matter, and there must be a solution, she immediately asked: "If you don't increase the store, how can you expand sales?" ”
"After the Phoenix store will be divided into two categories: direct stores and franchise stores, the direct store is the Phoenix itself directly operated, and the franchise store is the community of interests recruited by the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, the sales use the distribution model, the sales of goods are provided by the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, and the franchise store can also use the trademark of the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix." Zhu Youxiao said. As for the price specification, unified terminal image, etc., Zhu Youxiao is not within the scope of his consideration for the time being.
"Your Majesty, how is your cement investment?" Xiaoxiao asked suddenly.
"It worked so well that the cement franchise alone sold two million." Zhu Youxiao replied.
"Wow! You can sell it for so much money, Your Majesty, you are amazing! Xiao Xiao said in surprise and admiration. In his little heart, Zhu Youxiao is not just the emperor, but really a god-like existence.
"This result was also unexpected." Seeing the little admiring eyes, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, how about Phoenix also get a business association?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Fengqiuhuang's investment promotion can get one, but the way can't be like the cement investment promotion." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said.
"How should I get that?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Fengqiu Huang set a franchise store charging standards and rules and regulations, franchise fees include franchise fees and deposits, franchise fees are not difficult to understand, once a year, and the deposit is only charged once, the role of the margin is to ensure that the franchise store must be implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations of Fengqiuhuang. Fengqiuhuang is different from cement, within a province, Fengqiuhuang cannot open only one store, but to open many stores, and even more than two stores in a city. Zhu Youxiao explained.
"Your Majesty, how much do you think the franchise fee and security deposit are appropriate?" Xiaoxiao said.
"It's up to you to decide, but I don't think the cost of each item should be less than one thousand taels." Zhu Youxiao suggested.
"Well, I'll talk to Marta and Maria about that." Xiao nodded and said.
……
Zhu Youxiao stayed in Fengqiuhuang until the time of the unitary before leaving to return to the palace. Zhu Youxiao also likes Xiaoxiao very much, he always feels very happy every time he chats with Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao may not be able to fully understand what Zhu Youxiao said, but she is always willing to try some of the things Zhu Youxiao said, every time Zhu Youxiao knows that Xiaoxiao wants to try some of the things he said, whether it is success or failure Zhu Youxiao feels very happy.
Zhu Youxiao has a feeling that although he has crossed over to become an emperor, Xiaoxiao is like his shadow among the people. It is precisely in view of this that Zhang Yan once suggested that Zhu Youxiao include Xiaoxiao in the harem, but Zhu Youxiao refused.
The next day, Zhu Youxiao summoned Chen Changzuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the cabinet ministers.
"I plan to build a gallop road from Beijing to Tianjin after the beginning of next year, and build three gallop roads from Beijing to Guangzhou, Jingshi to Xi'an, and Shanghai to CD between the middle of next year and the end of next year." Zhu Youxiao said straight to the point.
Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, the ministers present all gasped, and Han Yi immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. The road from Mubang to Yunnan Province used a large number of prisoners of war to build the road, and when the road was built, there was not one out of ten prisoners of war, and it cost nearly one million taels of silver. If four gallop roads are built at the same time next year, not only will the cost of civil power be very huge and it will be difficult to maintain, but also the cost of silver taels will probably need tens of millions of taels. Your Majesty's move may cause public resentment to boil and chaos in the world. ”
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" The ministers fell to their knees in unison and pleaded.
"I have thought about this for a long time, the people of the empire are in difficulty, and now there are continuous natural disasters, the people are displaced, a little carelessness may lead to chaos in all directions, during the Song Dynasty, for the homeless people to organize and train the army, resulting in redundant soldiers, I decided to work for relief, all the people who participate in the construction of the road, I not only ensure that these people have three meals a day, but also will give silver, adult men, one or two silver per person per month, and others regardless of men, women and children, each person per month five dollars of silver." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court is still unable to make ends meet, how can such a huge amount of silver taels be used to build a gallop road?" Lin Yaoyu asked.
"That's why I asked Chen Shangshu to come, the required silver taels are allocated from Neinu, this matter is led by the Ministry of Industry, with the cooperation of all provinces, to complete the exploration before the middle of next year, and make a good budget." Zhu Youxiao said.
Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, all the ministers didn't know how to refute it, the money for road construction was paid by Neinu, and the people who built the road still had their wages to get it, all this seemed too unreasonable, so unreasonable that everyone didn't know what to say.
"It's easy to say that the Jingshi to Tianjin Chi Road, but the other three Chi Road span thousands of miles, if you are required to complete the exploration before the middle of next year and make a good budget, I am afraid it will be very difficult." Chen Changzuo said.
"The road construction is a section of repair, for example, the Beijing-Guangchi Road, we can first repair the section of Jingshi and Henan, and then repair the rest of the road after the exploration, and strive to complete the construction within five to ten years." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Your Majesty, the construction of these four galloping roads requires tens of millions of taels of silver." Chen Changzuo emphasized again.
"I know, I have a way." Zhu Youxiao also replied seriously.
"No." Chen Changzuo replied.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the ministers, he took out a small notebook from the table, and said: "This time the road is repaired, the Inspectorate will send a patrol to strictly investigate corruption, if anyone dares to be corrupt, I will definitely deal with it strictly this time." In this Datong case, I found that many people in Jingshi were involved in corruption and bribery, and I recorded them in this small book, but I decided not to pursue it again, but if anyone dares to commit it again, I will definitely punish it severely. ”
The ministers present all had a feeling that Zhu Youxiao had grabbed the handle, and in this era, officials like Yang Lian who were completely honest as water were really rare, and many officials who claimed to be honest and honest, even if they would not accept cash, they would also accept some antiques such as famous paintings, famous calligraphy and so on. These antiques are no less than cashiers.
"I have raised the salaries of the officials of the empire twice, just in the hope that the officials of the empire can really be honest and law-abiding. In the future, don't accept any elegant bribes, charcoal respects, ice respects, etc., if the salaries are not enough, I can increase the salaries to the officials, I don't mind high salaries, but if high salaries can't support honesty, don't blame me for being ruthless. Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
