Chapter 91: Guo's Mooncake Shop II

readx;

Kwok's Mooncake Shop is located close to West Market. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info a huge empty house, and the backyard is divided into an operation room. It is said that the empty house was brought by Fang Yiai from a certain fox friend, and people were willing to lend this house to Guo Shan after seeing his Fang Erlang's face.

Correspondingly, the household department has shipped all the fabrics and so on.

Ten days before Guo Shan entered the Dali Temple prison, the Guo family had already recruited workers on a large scale. And until Guo Shan, the mooncake workshop has also begun to operate.

It doesn't take much preparation to get around, and the only difficulties that need to be overcome are the personnel problem and the salary problem.

The more manpower there is, the more mooncakes will be produced. However, as the number of employees grows, the amount of wages required increases exponentially. In fact, Guo Shan had already spent a large enough amount of money on the preparatory work.

Fortunately, Li Tai, Fang Yiai and others have successively made so-called investments. Li Lizhi took the lead, and I don't know if those princesses and princes are trying to curry favor with Li Shimin. After hearing that the purpose of Guo Shan's moon cake workshop was to solve the problem of military rations in the Tang Dynasty, they all donated money to help. Soon Hu Laohan found that the account books at home were already full of records.

With a stroke of his pen, Guo Shan immediately rejected the follow-up people who wanted to invest. According to his thoughts, he is not sure that he can really make a profit for the mooncake workshop for the time being. And now that the money in the house is enough for the mooncake workshop to operate normally, there is no need to let others take the money to run to themselves to participate in the shares.

Guo Shan didn't know anything about business, so he couldn't help but throw a rat bogey.

When the problem of money is solved, other problems come, the most obvious is the lack of craftsmen in the mooncake workshop.

At first, Guo Shan was quite puzzled, why couldn't he recruit craftsmen with such good treatment? You know, even in later generations, many professions are impossible to have a pension. Later, it was Xu Qian who pointed out Guo Shan, so that Guo Shan really understood the taste.

Without him, the conditions for Guo Shan's expulsion are too good, and the good ones are unbelievable.

Secondly, after all, Guo Shan's moon cake workshop has just opened, and the people do not know enough about the moon cake workshop and the Guo family, so they do not have enough trust.

In order to solve this problem, Guo Shan had to revise the benefits again. Then he personally went to Taichang Temple and asked Taichang Shaoqing to deliver a message to Li Shimin, and asked Li Shimin to help Guo Shanfa send a recruitment notice.

There is a big red chapter of the imperial court, and the imperial court comes forward, so the way of the moon cake workshop is naturally right. If the imperial court comes forward, then it is absolutely impossible to deduct wages for no reason.

As a result, many unemployed, or helpless widows ran to the mooncake workshop.

The most distinctive thing about the Guo family's recruitment and treatment of subordinates is that they do not taboo men and women, and treat them equally.

As a result, the number of mooncake workshops quickly filled. When it came, Li Shimin put Guo Shan together and sent Guo Shan 500 refugees who fled to the capital from nowhere to Guo Shan, so that Guo Shan almost scolded his mother.

"Your Majesty sent me more than 200 people two days ago, and now my workshop can no longer accommodate these many people."

In King Wei's mansion, as soon as Guo Shan sat down, he unceremoniously picked up the wine on Li Tai's table and poured himself a full drink. He has been busy enough in the past two days, this is just a mess of things, and he ran to Li Tai to steal here.

"Da Lang, you have solved the livelihood problem of nearly a thousand displaced people for me Datang before and after. The merit is immeasurable, Li Tai respects you a cup. "Li Tai held the wine, and I don't know from which wild monk he learned the words of 'immeasurable merit' to fool Guo Shan to do good deeds.

Guo Shan rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Doing good deeds requires capital, if good deeds are so easy to do, will there be fewer people who become Buddhas on the ground?" ”

Li Tai shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is not good; Dalang, you only see the problem of refugees emptying your family's treasury, but you can't see the court's gratitude to you after you solved the refugee problem for my father. He personally poured Guo Shan full of wine, and said to Guo Shan: "Dalang, you think that the resettlement of refugees, which is a headache for the ministers of the imperial court, has been solved by you, doesn't that prove that you are smarter than the ministers of the imperial court?" More talented? In this way, the matter of Dayan Bojie will no longer be used as a lever against you. On the contrary, because of your great merit and great ability. Father and the ministers of the court will think that although you like to cause trouble, you are also the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Guo Shan squinted, put down the wine glass, looked at Li Tai and sneered: "Qingque, these words are not taught by the mother, right?" ”

Li Tai's face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How could my mother teach me these words?" ”

Guo Shan snorted coldly and said, "Whether it's these words that Niang Niang taught you, or these words that others taught you, I don't want to know." I'm here to tell you that I'm going to build another workshop. ”

Li Tai got up in surprise when he heard this, and asked, "Da Lang still wants to build a moon cake workshop?" ”

Guo Shan shook his head and said: "I have enough people in the moon cake workshop, and I have been making moon cakes day and night, and the output is enough to complete the task given to me by the emperor, and I can even sell many more moon cakes to the outside world." If I build a mooncake shop again, who will I sell those mooncakes to? ”

Guo Shan said again: "Didn't you say some time ago that the toothbrush I gave to Ling Wu was occupied by his father?" Didn't you say that many princes and nobles asked me for toothpaste and toothbrushes? To tell you the truth, there are also some Hu merchants who come to me to ask for toothpaste and toothbrushes and want to sell them back to their country. I thought, since everyone loves toothpaste and toothbrushes, I should simply build a toothbrush workshop toothpaste workshop. Let's not talk about whether I make money or not, just being able to make cheap toothbrushes that the people of Datang can use, I am already satisfied. ”

Brushing your teeth with willow branches is so backward that there are countless yellow teeth in the Tang Dynasty, and Guo Shan can't stand it when he eats with the people in the mansion and a group of people grinning at you with yellow teeth.

Seeing that Li Tai was pondering, Guo Shan took a sip of tea and said: "It is not difficult to make a toothbrush, and it is not expensive to sell a toothbrush made in large quantities, and everyone can afford to use it." It doesn't cost much to buy a toothbrush that cleans the mouth, and I believe that many people will be willing to buy such a good and inexpensive thing. A toothbrush makes a small profit, but a toothbrush that is produced in large quantities can bring huge profits. As for the toothbrushes and toothpaste sold to those nobles, we naturally want to make them better. But the selling price is naturally higher, our Datang businessmen have never been few, and there are many riches outside Datang. Good toothbrush, not afraid that these businessmen will not like it. ”

Li Tai listened to Guo Shan's words and said, "But when Da Lang told me this, did he want Tai to join the shares?" ”

Guo Shan smiled and said, "There is no shortage of money in my house now, if Qingque wants to buy shares, then I will not refuse." I'm looking for Qingque just because I want you to help me with three things. First, after my first batch of toothbrushes and toothpaste are made, please give them to every princess, prince, and official of the third grade or above in the court, and Guo Shan will not charge them a penny. Second, please ask Your Majesty to allocate another 300 refugees to me, and Guo Shan will solve the problem of food and clothing for another 300 refugees for the emperor, but I hope that the emperor will protect my intellectual property rights for creating moon cakes, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Well, in other words, I will write a letter to ask you to forward it to Niangniang and see if Niangniang approves it. If the mother approves it, you will tell the mother to give this letter to your majesty for me. Of course, Guo Shan knew that Li Shimin was in charge of everything, and he would not take care of him.

In fact, he was humble and had not yet integrated into the circle of the upper echelons. Otherwise, where do you need Li Tai's help in sending toothpaste and toothbrushes? And if he is an important minister of the imperial court, where does he need to go through Li Tai first to ask for the help of the eldest grandson Niangniang to apply for a patent for toothpaste, toothbrush and moon cake to Li Shimin?

"The first two things are difficult for others, but easy for you. The latter thing is not so easy. Guo Shan forced his face and said, "You need a space to run a workshop, right?" But the land that is covered by Chang'an City, the house that should be divided is long gone. Even if there are so many empty houses and empty houses, they are occupied by you princes and ministers, and I, Guo Shan, want to buy them with money, and people are not short of money to sell. Bluefinch, you've got to give me ideas. ”

Li Tai wiped his cold sweat when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Da Lang, you think highly of me, as you said, the first two things are easy for me to do." The latter thing is a bit difficult. ”

Diyu slipped his eyes, and Li Tai said: "If you want to find a good ground, it's better to go to Fang Erlang." He knows a lot of friends, isn't the venue of your moon cake workshop solved by Fang Erlang? ”

Guo Shan shook his head and said, "I've already looked for him, but even he can't find anything that satisfies me." However, I fell in love with an empty house in Yongxingfang, but that house is said to belong to the Du family. ”

"Du's?" Li Tai frowned and pondered, and suddenly said, "Since it is the Du family's empty house, why didn't Da Lang go to Du He?" ”

Guo Shan was stunned for a moment, squinted at Li Tai and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Didn't Du He make an appointment with you three or four times when he was in prison in Dali Temple, and wanted to bet with you? If you can make this empty house one of your bets when you bet, you may have a chance to get the empty house. ”

Hearing this, Guo Shan frowned and pondered.
