Miss Li generously brought a portable salute, and was "picked up" by He Libo and returned to Meyer's Mansion. When the mansion happily and simply ate the reunion banquet, the mansion still called Li Enxi Miss Li. After all, He Libo and Li Enxi are not Song people, so it seems that they are called like this, and the two of them are used to it.

According to the rules of the king, the time for the centralized meeting at the end of the month has arrived: this well-arranged meeting hall next to the king of Mayer Mansion is like our modern conference room, a long table, and the prince next to the king, who returned to the Song Dynasty and fulfilled the dream of "boss", sits at one end of the table. On both sides sat He Libo, Lu Shenyan, Li Enxi, Yin Shijie, Yu Danian, Cai Jing, and at the end sat Cui Fu and Rouge Tiger.

What Li Enxi remembered deeply was her mental arithmetic and her sensitivity to numbers. Miss Li Enxi looked at the account books reported everywhere a few times, then gently placed the account books on the table and looked up at the king. "The accounts are clear everywhere." Wang Bin nodded. He glanced around at the rest of the room.

These people perform their own duties, He Libo is the Northwest Beijing Coal Factory, and Lu Shenyan is the Southeast Tea Factory; Yin Shijie Yu Danian handed over the accounts this month, and reported two new open land west of Yan'an on the Yellow River, and it is said that Li Jian was very optimistic about the coal reserves of those two lands. And the low price is not expensive. Now there are many people who go to Jinxiang Mansion to apply, so the manpower should be sent.

Wang Bian knew that this was the refinement of the division of labor, the improvement of work efficiency, and the reasonable staffing and streamlining of labor, so that he had the energy to develop other places. Wang looked at the map drawn by Yu Danian and Yin Shijie, and looked at the mining volume and labor number calculated by the two according to his instructions, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he signed the approval for the two to do it specifically, and he himself would pass by when he went to Xixia after the autumn examination.

Lu Shenyan, a tea farm in the southwest, reported to the office, seeing that the tea in the third season was about to arrive, and there was still some inventory in the second season, and it turned out that ten catties of tea were sold and a set of tea sets were given, although it was popular at the time, it took a while to digest. Lu Shenyan seemed to be very worried that there would be a backlog of tea, so he frowned and consulted the king: "Son, do you want to reduce the ration from Jianzhou?" ”

Wang Bian glanced at Cai Jing, this fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, who was looking at everyone who spoke with those shrewd eyes, Wang Bian couldn't help but secretly think that this kid was born to be good at observing words and feelings. Cai Jing's eyes just happened to see Wang Bian, and saw that Wang Bian was looking at him.

Wang asked next to him: "Yuan Chang, you are more familiar with the tea in Jianzhou, you can talk about it." ”

Seeing that Wang was beside him and let himself speak, Cai Jing straightened his waist, cleared his throat, and said in his slightly immature voice: "Some of Jianzhou's teas are picked for three seasons, and I see that there is no need to set less, and there are some stocks that can prevent breakage." ”

Lu Shenyan turned his head to look at Cai Jing, this kid is not big, but that Yunxuan is Cai Jing watching there on weekdays, don't look at his young age, he is well organized, and Cai Jing's calligraphy and painting are often appreciated by those literati and ink writers, and that Yunxuan has some foothold for him. And when it comes to the tea in Jianzhou, naturally Cai Jing has more say among these people. Lu Shenyan has his own considerations, "Don't sell more at this time, then if you get new tea, the tea from the previous season will be sold cheaply."

"Well......" Cai Jing also has his own suggestions: "Why sell it cheaply, the price of new tea should be increased, so it is natural to buy old tea cheaply, and it can also be divided into grades." ”

Wang Bian laughed secretly in his heart, this kid was really greedy, and both of them looked at Wang Bian and waited for Wang Bian to speak. Seeing Miss Li shaking her head, Wang Jian seemed to disagree with what the two said, so he asked, "Miss Li has a peaceful opinion." ”

Miss Li said: "Even if the price increase is only temporary, most of the people who go to the tea field to buy tea now are tea shops and people in the city." You see that so many people in this tea field are selling tea, and if they are not busy, they will be idle. The cost is to manually deal with the purchase and sale of various tea shops. It's better to find three or two tea shops to make them more profitable. Sell it on our behalf, so that the tea factory is only for large households, and even selling tea and packaging can save at least a dozen manpower than now. ”

Wang Bian knew that what Li Enxi said was reasonable, these dozen or so laborers were 100 taels of silver every month, and it was also a lot of expenses in a year, but Wang Bian had calculated that this Bianjing City must deal with it in person at the moment, and if it is handed over to the semicolon for consignment, the brand that has just been launched will be fraudulent because of the profit of the tea tax merchants. There is no tea tax for the tea shop's own use, but if the monopoly cannot avoid this tax, it is now popularized first.

"Miss Li has a point, but at the moment these stocks are not a problem. If the emperor can approve us to open a few more states next year, then Miss Li's suggestion can be used. Wang Bian praised Li Enxi's idea and put the discussion aside for the time being, but he saw Li Enxi frowning slightly. Is there anything she still has to say?

"Manager Lu, stop giving away tea sets now, and tea sets can also be sold by grade." So the king commanded.

"Yes, if you buy a lot, you will get a tea set, and civilians can't buy so much of it, and if you buy so much, you won't be able to taste it, and it's good for Gongzi to sell tea sets alone." Lu Shenyan praised, and at the same time swiped and recorded it on the paper in front of him.

This is also explained by the king, every time the monthly meeting is held, important things must be recorded, but fortunately, everyone here is literate and hyphenated. Even Xiao Lu and Cui Fu can write a few strokes.

Yun Xuan didn't have to say anything, Wang Bi knew that he was throwing money into it now, but there were still dozens of silver medals in his hand, and the market price was also a hundred taels, which would definitely rise sharply after this autumn exam. But Wang didn't mean to sell silver medals.

He looked at Cui Fu, the old shopkeeper was flattered, and always listened carefully. Seeing that Wang saw himself, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Thanks to the son, Jinxiulou's business is booming now, but it's not a big deal." It's just that there are always peers digging into the wall and wanting to hire our chefs at a high salary. ”

"This is normal, everyone wants business to be hot, how should the old shopkeeper deal with it?" Wang asked with a smile.

"Ahem~ There is no need to deal with it at all, we are a cook, and if we do well, we will have the opportunity to enter the official eunuch's house, and we may have the opportunity to be the imperial chef, not to mention that we have a reward, but no one is willing to leave without a reward." Cui Fu said loudly, very proud in his heart.

"Haha, don't be reluctant to reward it." The king shook his folding fan and said with a laugh.

"Yes, Childe, are there other tea shops looking for us to ask for a tea girl?" Cai Jing also said that in the past few days, someone has told him whether he can transfer the tea girl to other tea shops.

Wang Jian listened with some pride: "When I get back, I will set up a school, specializing in ** chefs and tea girls." When the time comes, if you want to learn a craft, you will spend some silver taels. If you want to hire people, we can also recommend them for a fee. ”

Thinking about the business made by these two ends, Wang was proud, and turned back to the peach and plum all over the world, and even thought of the name, called "Taoli Academy." But I didn't say it, and that day I revealed it to Yuexia, and Yuexia said that his name sounded like a fruit seller.

He looked at the crowd, He Libo took the lead and said Okay, he was all in order, the weather has been hot recently, He Libo's coal yard is a lot more idle, and there are guys staring at it on weekdays, and they are grinding next to the king to do something. It is no wonder that the business of Jinxiulou is booming, in this hot weather, many families choose to go to the street every day to buy something to eat, and they don't like to guard the stove to cook. All the snacks in the capital, every restaurant is not bad.

His eyes swept over Li Enxi, and when he saw Li Enxi frowning again, Wang Bi began to wonder in his heart, why did this girl have a serious expression when she talked about developing new things? Is there a problem with the funds? The king did not think about it.

When it was Rouge Tiger's turn, she said, "It's nothing big in the house, but, but"

Wang saw that the usual tigress-like rouge tiger was no more than twice, so he looked at Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu was also at a loss, and everyone looked at the rouge tiger again, "But the old lady sent someone to ask, when will the son pick up Miss Rou'er." Miss Rou'er came over, she couldn't live with Yahuan's mother-in-law, the room in this house."

The room in this house is really tight enough, except for the house to be reserved for the guests in the front yard who come and go from all over the world, the front yard hall is for guests. The main room of the inner house was used as an office, and the wing room was converted into a conference hall. There is also a place for the next person to live and a room for training cooks and tea girls. Lu Shenyan and He Libo are already very good, and the two of them have two children in a yard. Wang next to the moon was in the small courtyard when Wang next to the original king first arrived in the Song Dynasty. Even if there was no such thing as Rou'er, the issue of expanding the mansion should have been put on the agenda a long time ago.

"Miss Rou'er's matter is a private matter, so you don't need to discuss it here in the future." Lu Shenyan looked at Gongzi a little embarrassed, and whispered to Rouge Tiger. Don't look at Rouge Tiger's usual treatment of Brother Xiao Lu, when Xiao Lu speaks during this discussion, she has rules, and she said "oh" to indicate that she knows.

When the people talked about the expansion of the mansion, the moon knocked on the door and came in, and brought two maids, each with a tray on it, on which were placed porcelain bowls, and in the porcelain bowls there were some methods that the king had taught the moon: the pulp juice mashed with fresh fruit, the ice cubes that had been frozen in winter were taken out of the ice cellar, and the pulp juice was poured on the ice cubes the size of the porcelain bowl.

Under the moon asked the maids to distribute it to everyone, and everyone was hot and thirsty, so Yuexia personally brought a bowl and handed it to the king. These two are so affectionate, and everyone else is snickering. Seeing that everyone was also about to discuss, Wang stood up and said, "Let's go and do all these things today, let's try this ice drink." ”

The weather is hot enough at the moment, and there is no fan air conditioning in these years, which makes Wang Fang unhappy, and he wonders when the mansion will be expanded, so he will get a swimming pool, but think about it, it is also troublesome, and he can't swim in a long shirt.

Everyone saw that the king was disbanded, and they played outside the house to eat and drink ice and drink, but Miss Li Enxi had no intention of getting up. Wang Fang had already seen her frown a few times just now, and when he saw everyone go out, there was only her and Yuexia in the room, so he asked, "Does the girl have something to tell me?" ”

Miss Li nodded and said, "Childe can't toss new business and real estate anymore, if the house is not enough, we can move out."

Wang Fang couldn't help but be surprised: "Does the girl think it's not good to live in Meyer's Mansion?" ”

Miss Li shook her head and said in a low voice: "Mayer Mansion is very good, but I just calculated an account for my son, and if my son continues to toss, he will go bankrupt if he can't make ends meet." ”
