"Sir, sir. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Just when Guo Shan entered the backyard and was about to sit down, he heard Hu Laohan's voice from afar, Guo Shan hesitated for a moment and sat on the stool, letting Xiaoyou pour him a glass of water. Then I saw Hu Laohan running in, Guo Shan waved his hand and asked Xiao You to go and do the work he had told about delivering the letter to Du He.

Putting the cup down, he walked back comfortably, and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong again? ”

Hu Laohan wiped his hot sweat, the excitement and joy on his face did not disappear, and he said happily: "Master, we can make the moon cakes that the household wants tomorrow." ”

Guo Shan raised his eyebrows, but he couldn't help but sit up straight and said, "So fast? He got up and walked back and forth, and finally looked at Hu Laohan and said, "There's nothing to make a fuss about, didn't we estimate earlier that we would complete the task of the imperial court in these two or three days?" ”

After speaking, Guo Shan sat back on the stool and said to Hu Laohan: "Since the matter of the moon cake workshop is over, then you can also rest for a while." It just so happens that I have something for you to do. Guo Shan moved the idea of being lazy.

Although Guo Shan couldn't bear to see the old man running around all day, Hu Laohan didn't care about sweating. He seemed to be a little excited, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what else do you have to order?" ”

Guo Shan took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and said, "Look, these things are some ideas I wrote recently, about the management and rules and regulations of the workshop. Well, if you have time, you can copy these edicts and find someone to plan them, and then ask someone who can write well. En, I asked Xu Niangzi in the burrow to ask her to write it on her behalf, write out these ordinances and hang them in the workshop. ”

After speaking, Guo Shan said: "In addition to these things, Master Ben also wants to establish a 'tooth cleaning shop', specializing in making toothpaste and toothbrushes." I have applied to Your Majesty for a decree if He wishes to grant my patent application. At that time, only we can make toothpaste and toothbrushes, and no one else can make them. In that way, toothbrushes and toothpaste have become the real industries of our Guo family, not to say that they monopolize the market, but the profits obtained are not comparable to ordinary industries. ”

Guo Shan seemed to see a large amount of silver cakes flying into his pocket, and when he was fantasizing, he suddenly thought that he seemed to be overly obscene. With a straight face, he said to Hu Laohan: "You don't have to worry about the rest, just pick out the group of refugees that Your Majesty allocated to me first." Then go to the tooth market and look for a timber merchant, in short, if the workshop is opened, you have to make sure that the toothpaste and toothbrushes can be made in batches. ”

Guo Shan actually didn't understand a lot of things, but he thought that the people below would definitely be able to understand. If the people around you don't understand, then find a professional to plan.

His Guo family is not poor now, and he invited businessmen who know how to do business. Then again, in this country that values agriculture over business, business geniuses are really not very valuable.

Since Xu Qian deceived the scholars of a wave of money at the moon reward meeting, the scholars who ate and drank in the burrow later ate less white food. More or less, a sum of money will be left there. The Burrow is still not profitable, but it is not as bad as it used to be.

However, Penglai Pavilion's business is thriving, and it has rented several vacant rooms and opened branches in Linxi City. Even though Guo Shan has never managed Penglai Pavilion, Penglai Pavilion's business has never shown a moment of decline.

In the beginning, the operation of Penglai Pavilion was very stable, mainly relying on the reputation of the Burrow and the reputation of the yellow-robed guest to attract people. At that time, it was Hu Laohan who was in charge of everything in Penglai Pavilion, and it was not until later, when he wanted to establish a moon cake workshop, Guo Shan had already asked Xu Qian to take over Penglai Pavilion. Unlike an old-fashioned old man like Hu Laohan, Xu Qian's style seems to be adventurous and dissatisfied.

So, several branches were opened before and after, and a small trick was used to hype up Penglaige. For a while, Penglai Pavilion became famous, and the business of each branch became extremely hot.

In fact, some people have used it since ancient times. It's just that it's not so familiar and it's not so commonly used.

Guo Shan likes hype, and Xu Qian saw Guo Shan's hype when he first opened the burrow. hyped the yellow-robed guest, hyped the Burrow, and finally used the name of the Burrow to hype the Penglai Pavilion. almost knew Guo Shan, and she didn't see Guo Shan's big hype.

Quietly, Xu Qian learned the 'hype' skill that Guo Shanchang likes to use.

"In the early days, the biggest source of wealth in our house was Friends Pavilion, and now the moon cake shop has not seen any income, but I want to see the results soon." Guo Shan squinted.

Hu Laohan said: "Speaking of which, I just want to talk to Lao Ye." In the past few days, many merchants have come to the old slave to inquire about you, and I heard that they want to buy mooncakes from us. ”

Guo Shan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are they all merchants from Chang'an City?" ”

"There are also some Hu businessmen." Hu Laohan said: "In addition to these Hu businessmen, some powerful families in Chang'an City also came to us to buy moon cakes from our moon cake shop." ”

Guo Shan frowned and said, "Our moon cakes were originally meant to be sold, but now the emperor has not allowed the moon cakes we made to be sold." Well, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a month" Guo Shan thought for a while, and then said: "You first rent a pastry shop in Chang'an City to sell moon cakes." In this way, those magnates in Chang'an City can buy moon cakes there. However, the price of retail mooncakes is always more expensive. Isn't our workshop able to make several kinds of moon cakes with fillings? You give the price of 369 and so on, and pack the 369 and so on. Those who sell to ordinary people will be given the ordinary price, and those who are sold to dignitaries and nobles will be given the price of dignitaries. ”

"So, the merchants?" Old man Hu looked at Guo Shan.

Guo Shan shook his head and said, "If the emperor doesn't speak, we can't sell moon cakes to those merchants." Wait a while, when the emperor does not order that mooncakes are not allowed, then you can contact those merchants who want to buy mooncakes. Whether it is Hu Shang or our Datang merchants, they sell them cheaper. ”

The corners of Guo Shan's mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "In this way, will our family still worry about food and clothing in the future?" ”

Hu Laohan's face instantly turned into a sunflower, and he wiped his tears and raised his thumb and said, "Master, you are clever." ”

Guo Shan frowned, spat and said, "What are you doing with fake crying?" Your lord isn't dead yet. ”

Hu Laohan hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, "The old slave is happy, happy." He then said, "Yes, sir; We have built so many workshops, but where did we get so many parts? Our Guo Mansion is now a big business, and it's time to recruit some parts. ”

"Part?" Guo Shan touched his smooth chin and muttered, "What do we want to do?" ”

Hu Laohan immediately said: "Although it is said to be a peaceful and prosperous era now, it is inevitable that there will be wicked people who act arbitrarily. Moreover, our workshop does not have the protection of the parts, and if something happens, it will be troublesome at that time. ”

"What you say makes sense, I don't understand these things very well. Well, you'll see. Just, solicit some parts first? "Guo Shan has not recruited family soldiers, but he has been to the eldest grandson's house, and he has been to Li Tai's house, and he knows that there are many family soldiers in those palaces.

"Let's recruit a hundred or so first?" Hu Laohan suggested.

Guo Shan was taken aback, when did the old rammer be so willing to pay for it?

When I think about it, I understand.

Indeed, now his Guo family belongs to the nouveau riche. I'm afraid that in the entire capital, there are very few nouveau riche like him. If the moon cake workshop develops, it can really open up the market.

The dental cleaning business is very popular, and the market must be very wide. Guo Shan doesn't believe that the Tang people can't afford to use toothbrushes, and even if only one-third of the people in the world buy his toothbrushes at that time, he will be considered rich. Even if the number of customers is overestimated, the prosperity of Datang's business must not be underestimated. All in all, Guo Shan can't be said to be rich in the world, but the prospects are still quite impressive.

"That's right, a hundred soldiers are actually a little less. Let's get bigger in the future, and I'm afraid a hundred soldiers won't be able to protect it. First, let's recruit one or two hundred parts. Guo Shandao.

Hu Laohan was taken aback, thinking to himself, did the master really dare to count the number of people? Busy said: "Master, don't dare to recruit so many people." Those who know think that we do our duty to do business, and those who don't know may think that we are going to rebel. It's just an ordinary wealthy merchant family, but you are an official in the court."

Listening to Hu Laohan's reminder, Guo Shan thought that he was also a good person in the imperial court.

Guo Shandao: "You are right; But now no one cares about me, and no one is stupid enough to use such a big crime as 'rebellion' against your master. I saw an opportunity to tell my mother about the trick, and she would be able to agree. Besides, what can two hundred people do? Can you really rebel? ”

This is really to recruit 200 people to be domestic soldiers.

"But you have to pay attention to the tricks, and you have to find someone with a clean background. Although I am not afraid of false accusations, I am also afraid of unclear mistakes. Guo Shan still instructed.

After seeing Hu Laohan nodding in response, Guo Shan said: "By the way, what do you dare to do in the house now?" ”

Sitting on the stool, Guo Shan asked as he drank tea.

Hu Laohan was stunned, raised his head and looked at the old man who was looking at him with burning eyes, and hurriedly replied: "I didn't do anything, and I occasionally drove the carriage for the old slave, you ask me what my unsuccessful son does?" ”

Guo Shan sneered when he heard this: "What a man, but you asked him to drive the carriage for you, and I will cry for him." Dare to be honest, otherwise who will give you this old rammer to drive the horse? Don't let him follow you, when the parts are recruited, you can let him lead them. ”

Hu Laohan was stunned for a moment, tears fell down again, and he suddenly fell to the ground and hugged Guo Shan's thigh and cried bitterly: "How can my son be so favored by the master." Even if the old slave and the dog are broken, it is difficult to repay your trust. ”

That snotty, Guo Shan was so disgusted that he couldn't drink a little more water.

Oh, look at the way he cried. Guo Shanzhen wondered if this old rammed goods were pretended. Didn't he just give his son a manager? As for crying like this?

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Guo Shan really doesn't understand the heart of a slave.
