After the discussion, Mao Geng returned to the newly bought residence, which was a three-entry courtyard.
Mao Geng felt that he was going to Taiwan to exhibit in the next few years, and of course he would set up his own sales organization and liaison agency in Lin'an. However, it is still used as a temporary warehouse and sales office, and when the bell tower is built, the sales office will move there, and it will be a simple contact base.
This yard can be called a quasi-luxury house level, in the eyes of ordinary people, the only deficiency is the lack of flower gardens, but Mao Geng cares more about its function, in Mao Geng's plan, here will be 6 continue to decorate, such as windows with glass, the floor should also be a little more particular, especially, there should be a separate bathroom, the bathroom should be made of ceramic squatting toilet and tiled.
In view of the fact that the expedition to Taiwan has become a foregone conclusion, and the demand for various materials has increased greatly, Mao Geng has made a list of goods in advance according to his own judgment, and the goods on this list are to be shipped out of Xinhua, and at least 20 woolen ships can be loaded with the goods on the list. Things came suddenly, but this is a great thing, Dun Erbao just enjoyed four days in the bustling Lin'an City, and hurried back, Dun Erbao returned to Xinhua this time, one is to book goods, the second is to build a woolen boat, and the third is to pick up Ling'er and Dun Sanmei and the corresponding people to come over, enough for him to be busy.
Thinking of the backwardness of the means of communication, Mao Geng couldn't help but think of the benefits of carrier pigeons. In later generations, there was a research party that proved that Zhang Jian and Ban sent envoys to the Western Regions to communicate with carrier pigeons, that is to say, advanced carrier pigeon communication can be traced back more than 1,000 years from the Great Song Dynasty. Hey! Our Celestial Dynasty has long been a representative of advanced culture, and no matter what, it has a long history! I don't know if the Song people also use carrier pigeons to communicate, if it really doesn't work, they have to find people to breed and train from scratch, but I'm afraid that there will be no half a year down, carrier pigeon communication is not able to get started.
Fortunately, the money is not bad, even if it is not too late to train the carrier pigeon system after a year. In the Great Song Dynasty, you have to adapt to the slow life of this era, so take your time.
After he went to Taiwan, whether to let Wen Yuan go to Taiwan with him, or let Wen Yuan stay in Lin'an to take care of a qiē, Mao Geng has not made up his mind for a while, but no matter what, he still has to find another capable person to be the housekeeper here.
Tan Xiaochun and Huang Wangcai are in the Imperial Front Work Office these days, and the two of them are busy while instructing. Therefore, the one qiē here was temporarily handed over to Dun Wu to take care of.
After Dun Erbao left, Dun Wu stayed behind to temporarily help Mao Geng with chores. After buying this mansion, he bought some servants and maids, and Dun Wu became a temporary housekeeper here, or Dun Wu became a professional handyman here.
As soon as he saw Mao Geng coming back, Dun Wu hurriedly stepped forward to report:
"Mr. Mao, there are 46 more orders for watches today, and there are already 323 orders for delivery. Alas! Those who have ordered the timetable will still come to ask from time to time, and I don't know when the timetable will be shipped from Xinhua. ”
Mao Geng frowned, he didn't expect that there would be so many orders for timetables at once, and the price of timetables is not cheap, three hundred and eighty-eight yuan for a watch! The usual money is equivalent to 3oo yuan, and the price of a watch is more than 100,000 yuan. The 45 watches that arrived with the ship were sold out on the seventh day of arriving in Lin'an, and after that, there were a lot of orders, and it was a little unexpected that such an expensive timepiece would be so sought after. Today's production capacity, the output of one month is 100 units, and it will take at least four months for customers to order the goods now.
Mao Geng immediately thought of the after-sales service problem of the timetable, although so far only some of the timetables have had some small faults, Mao Geng still temporarily transferred a person named Jiang Yugui from the craftsmen of the seven Huaxi Construction Company to do after-sales service, the thing is nothing more than to teach people to operate, or deal with a little fault, sometimes after Jiang Yugui went out, even the five had to come to the door to recharge.
Mao Geng was still a little worried about the after-sales service of the timepiece, so he asked:
"Jiang Yugui came to the door alone, can he handle it?"
Dun Wu said:
"Before, most of the buyers didn't know how to fiddle with the timetable, so there were such and such small problems that needed to be repaired, but now they are all familiar, and they rarely come to the door, and no one came to call someone to look at the timepiece today, and Jiang Yugui didn't go out for a day."
Mao Geng relieved his heart and said:
"That's good! But in short, whether it's someone's problem or not, you have to help someone get it right, but you can't shirk it! You must always tell Jiang Yugui that you must have a good attitude towards others. ”
Mao Geng always seized the opportunity to warn his subordinates to respect customers, which is nothing more than the set of customer first smile service in later generations, and the watch is sold so expensive, of course, the service must also be a diamond-level service.
Don Wu smiled and replied:
"Mr. Mao, please rest assured, the little one knows."
So far, Mao Geng is very satisfied. The first batch of 50 watches sold will make a profit of almost 10,000 yuan after deducting 20% of the tax, and the profit of the light time watch will be nearly 20,000 yuan per month in the future, which is enough to be a riot in Lin'an.
Mao Geng was immersed in the dream of getting rich, but he saw Wen Yuan coming back.
As soon as he saw Mao Geng, Wen Yuan said happily:
"Brother Geng, I also have an official body, Di Gonglang, although it is only the lowest grade in the Great Song Dynasty, I am also content."
Mao Geng looked at Wen Yuan's happy appearance, this Di Gonglang is about the same as the head of the future generations, is it worth being so happy! But it's not good to hit him, just smiled, and looked at him:
"How? 6. What kind of charter is it to run a newspaper? ”
It is said that Zhao Yan finally weighed it up, or appointed the most famous poet of the Great Song Dynasty 6 You to run the newspaper, which was of course expected by the courtiers. And Feng Wenyuan's official body is about to let Wenyuan be a small editor in the newspaper of 6 tours.
Mao Geng compares his heart to his heart, if he were Zhao Yan, he would not hand over the position of public opinion to a boy of unknown origin like Wen Yuan, but he didn't know if the newspaper that came out of the 6 You Tour would be full of things like the Northern Expedition to restore the homeland of the Central Plains.
Wen Yuan recalled the scene of participating in the preparation of the official newspaper today, and talked about various situations related to the official newspaper.
The registration of the official newspaper is the official family, called "Da Song Jing Bao", the newspaper agency is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, 6 You was promoted to the Ministry of Rites Langzhong, as the director of the "Da Song Jing Bao", and the secretary Lang Ye Shi was promoted to the staff of the outside Lang and served as the deputy director. The official newspaper is located in Guozijian, and its purpose is nothing more than to make use of Guozijian's talent resources, Guozijian is crowded with talents, not only as Guozijian's teaching teachers, doctors, Xuezheng, Xuelu, and Xuelu are all trustworthy writers, but also among the 3o upper students and more than 100 inner students, some potential writers may also be excavated.
The Tai students in Guozijian can be called the best students in the Great Song Dynasty, because twenty or thirty thousand candidates took the exam, and the number of admitted places was only a few hundred. The number of students in the Guozijian of the Xiaozong Dynasty has continued to increase, reaching the scale of thousands of people, which is not the same as the number of students in the Guozijian of the Gaozong Dynasty, which is only more than 3oo. Students who have just entered the Guozijian are called outer students, and only those who pass the examination after one year can be promoted to inner students. Students who have completed two years of study and then take the exam, and those who excel in the examination can be promoted to upper students. The outer, inner and upper students are roughly equivalent to the undergraduate, master's and doctoral students of later generations. Being able to be admitted to the inner student is already a cow, and the upper student is even more amazing. The top few with the best results enjoy the treatment of the champion level, summoned by the emperor and directly awarded the official, and those with medium grades can also be exempted from the Jinshi examination and directly awarded the official.
It can be seen that the students of Guozijian are fully capable of writing articles, at least their diplomas are a few grades higher than those of Ye Luzi like Wen Yuan. Zhao Yan's calculation is not wrong, since a self-taught teenager like Wen Yuan can write popular articles, the elite of the royal thousand national eunuchs will inevitably have some genius-level writers.
Mao Gengxin said, this can be regarded as revitalizing the existing resources, Guozi supervises 1,000 liberal arts students, these students are all official fees, food and accommodation are free, school uniforms, shoes and hats, including stationery, are also free, and they are also pocket money per month, and the treatment is too good. In addition to studying, these students are usually idle, so it is better to let them write more articles for the "Great Song Jingbao". In addition to earning some manuscript fees in the spare time, maybe you can also engage in a credit system, you can accumulate credits in the "Great Song Jing Daily" on the table of articles, if there are more articles, the credits will go up, and the greater the hope of upgrading to the inner and upper students, just like the later generations of professors to look at the quality and number of papers, presumably these students will also spare no effort to code the copybook - no! It is a contribution.
However, Mao Geng immediately thought of a problem, there is a disadvantage to these Tai students of Guozijian, that is, they are strong in blood, and they will come up with the set of "books on the bus" at every turn, and 6 You is a hardcore hawk who advocates the Northern Expedition, they are mixed together, and "Da Song Jingbao" will not become a public opinion position full of gunpowder!
Slow down! This Ye Shi won't be a hawk too!
Mao Geng asked:
"Wen Yuan, I know about 6 tours, but I don't know what kind of character this Ye Shi is?"
Wen Yuan smiled and said:
"When we came, didn't Chen Liang mention this person! How did you forget jì! Ye Shi and Chen Liang both belong to Yongjia's 'school of merit', paying attention to utilitarian learning, it is said that 6 You valued him as a figure who advocated the Northern Expedition, and he was in the prime of life, so he asked the official family to allow him to be the deputy of the newspaper. ”
"Oh! I remember. ”
This time Mao Geng remembered that this Ye Shi is also an authentic hawk, but he is more pragmatic. The strange thing is that this time Zhao Yan did not sacrifice the usual method of restraining each other, and actually chose two hawks as the chief and deputy of the newspaper, probably thinking that there is no harm in making a dozen mouth cannons in the newspaper, but this is underestimating the demagogic power of public opinion.
Mao Geng believes from the bottom of his heart that a qiē focuses on hard work, and the mouth cannon is useless most of the time. According to his own ideas, it will take at least five years to keep his head in obscurity, and in these five years, he will not be guilty of talking about the Northern Expedition, so as not to startle the grass or something. On this point, I would like to remind you.
As soon as Mao Geng thought of this, he said to Wen Yuan:
"Tomorrow I want to have a banquet for 6 You and Ye Shi, I have something to discuss with them, you just tell them, I want to talk to them about the cooperation in lead printing, you tell them about the wonder of lead printing, I think they will come to the banquet."
