Chapter Eighty-Three: New Deployment After Running Out of Money
But now there are 3,000 more militiamen, and they have the government's silver taels to worship, but Su Zedong agreed before asking them to do things, and he will increase their food and salary, provide life security, etc. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The words are very beautiful and beautiful, and they have also achieved the effect and aroused their fighting spirit, but if this is really done, Dongzhen Company's treasury will be in trouble!
Fortunately, Su Zedong kept an eye on it and developed Gaoyoucheng West Street in advance, and now it is still time to return to the capital, and with the means of later generations, it will soon be profitable.
So the question of funds was no longer discussed, and Su Zedong said on the spot: "Rice, eat the same; And so things will be done, and so will the wages go up! It's okay! ”
"We have now defeated Xiang Feng and suppressed the Qingzhu Gang, this Gaoyou City is full of gold, what's wrong with the war? Don't you see that the inhabitants of the city are ready? They all want to follow us to fight the Mongol Tatars! What we have to do now is to make steady progress......"
I have to say that Su Zedong, as a liberal arts student and teacher in later generations, is really a kung fu that has been refined into steel, and after a few words from his mouth, everyone who eats is enthusiastic;
Even if they all know that the people of Gaoyou City want to get in easily, but it is difficult to get out, and they don't have anything to do with Dongzhen Company at all, but who cares now, who will pursue it!
This leader, he said it well, he said it happily, and everyone was happy to hear it, and people who understood it would not think about drilling the tip of the horns, and those who didn't understand were also fooled by Su Zedong's mouth cannon to believe it......
That's what he said, and anyone can say it, but this matter, Su Zedong and the others still have to handle it.
Even if Su Zedong, the leader, is very busy, he has to run around every day to solve a lot of things, and he has to always pay attention to the dynamics of the enemy, as well as the news of Old Man Xu, Lu Changxin, Wu Zhennan and others, but the construction of the economy and the people's livelihood is still indispensable.
After the second month of becoming the third envoy, Su Zedong adjusted the previous deployment, he believes that many things and work to be completed by the elites of Dongzhen company's management, it is really overkill, and what he wants now is to concentrate all the forces that can be concentrated to solve the primary problem.
Liu Zhenming and Su Liangsan continued to research and produce, and Zhang Dexing also followed up; Song Jiwen and Xiao Qi'er continued to do a good job in the countryside, and at the same time helped the intelligence officers of the ghost soldiers to collect and convey important information.
As for patrolling and defending the city, the two Jiang brothers and Su Wuliang, Su Liuliang and Chen brothers were not allowed to do their work, and after a month of running-in, I believe that the people under them will be able to do their jobs, so Su Xuedong will send them to the West Street, where it is most necessary to ensure law and order, and it is still necessary to vigorously develop the economy.
Because, now that the border of Gaoyou City has been alarmed, and there are still about seven days to go, the vanguard of the Mongolian army will be killed at the bottom of the city tower, and the pawns in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the saturated iron business in the province are not very easy to do, and the citizens of Gaoyou in this city are all rushing for salt and grain, and the demand for other products has decreased.
Therefore, Dongzhen's business and trade contacts on East Street are basically lagging behind.
At this time, Su Zedong developed West Street, firstly, to sell Dongzhen Company's new products, namely steel and firearms, to increase profits, and secondly, to make progress and step up the acquisition of Xiang Feng's industries.
Judging from the current market situation, the industry under Xiangyu is similar to the market of other merchants from the north to Gaoyou City, even if it is described by the word "depression", it is more appropriate, so the shops that should be closed down are closed, and the ones that should be sold are sold, and the shops that are relatively hard are still holding on.
Su Zedong is not robbing by fire, but seeking truth from facts, the low price, vomiting blood price and factory price offered by the other party, as long as it is not the sister-in-law of the tannery who abducted the boss, all of them will be reduced by two more achievements and all bought!
After a week's acquisition, the East Street, West Street and North Street of Gaoyou City, even the industries under Xiang Feng, the sworn enemy of Dongzhen Company, were swept away by Dongzhen Company.
Just when many businessmen scolded Su Zedong for not being a thing, for that tone, even if he was at a loss, he had to make a big deal of it, and his means of acquiring so many goods could not be described as extremely bad.
And in the midst of everyone's shouting and scolding, Dongzhen Company began to make a profit!
The first to make money was the blacksmith shop, the price is more expensive than the iron but more tenacious, practical steel swords were swept away first, the majority of the buyers are still mainly the army, and a large part of the army's logistics is under the management of Su Zedong, then steel knives, swords, copper firearms, fireballs and other firearms are the first to be sold out.
Then came the restaurant industry.
The reason why the catering industry was able to rise subsequently also has a significant relationship with Su Zedong's authority and the way the tavern operates.
First of all, there is no need for the three envoys to say, as long as they are acquaintances, they know that now King Cheng's government and opposition must give Su Zedong and Lord Su face!
So although it is a tavern, no matter how big or small the officials are, they will lose face, but the family members, generals, and domestic servants, these inferior people will not hinder their face!
The business of the tavern was not bad under the intentional or unintentional care of officials at all levels in Gaoyou City, of course, if it was just the occasional luxury of these people who only had enough income to eat and clothing, and entered the smaller, cheaper tavern to consume, it was indeed impossible to make any money.
There is no shortage of businessmen in Gaoyou City, and with the help of Xiang Feng and other henchmen, there is no shortage of businessmen who have close contacts with Dongzhen Company, especially the blacksmith shops that have commercial cooperation with Dongzhen Company.
When complaining that business is difficult to do, the vicissitudes of the world, and the people's hearts are terrifying, after being busy with their daily work, even if they are just the blacksmiths who sit in the small shops that no one cares about anymore, and the small stall vendors who sell breakfast, go to the taverns on West Street, eating and drinking the wine and food at lower prices;
When there are a few more people, you can also talk to each other, no matter how bad you are, there is someone to say, this day is also colorful, if you meet a nobleman, such as Su Dadong's inspection or something, if you are lucky, you can also get an investment project or a new job, which is not necessarily a pleasant thing for everyone in the confusion.
The permanent residents of Gaoyou City and outsiders also like to go to these newly opened discount taverns on West Street to eat a few dishes and drink a few cups of hot wine, and those who like to be quiet can also listen to the people who like to talk and love to join in the excitement on the side.
Especially when this loneliness is full of fear, no matter how much people love quiet, they will have the idea of huddling together for warmth.
Su Zedong saw such a "business opportunity", but unfortunately he was not a philanthropist, but a third envoy who wanted to feed thousands of people, Dong Zhenguan, and a soul piercer who wanted to change a magnificent history.
Without losing money, he tried his best to reduce the price of wine and food in the tavern, so that the five taverns he operated on West Street could become the only place to eat and drink in the entire Gaoyou City, except for the five famous buildings on North Street, such as Manchun Building, Zuixian Building, and Manxiang Building.
The five famous buildings exist like the high-end guild halls and restaurants of later generations.
Even the vanguard of the Mongol army had less than seven days to reach Gaoyou City; Even the rebels in Liuhe, Yancheng, and Xinghua outside Gaoyou did not dare to provide any assistance under the strength of local officials and the Mongol army; Even if they knew that as long as the Mongol army broke through Gaoyou City, their good life would not be guaranteed.
They are still eating, drinking, and having fun in this show, after all, they are used to this kind of life, and if they are allowed to get rid of this life, and not drink and have fun with the women of Pingkang, and indulge to their heart's content, it will kill them!
The matter of defending the city is the business of the soldiers, and after the soldiers take the silver taels they have withheld, they have the obligation to fight to the death on the battlefield, they have the obligation to ensure their safety and status, and they will bear the consequences of defeating the battle.
In the five famous buildings, there will be no shortage of business.
