Empress Yu nodded in agreement, and the matter of building a shop was decided.

Xie Mingxi is solely responsible for this matter. Gu Shanchang was busy with all kinds of matters related to recruiting more students.

Since the announcement of the increase in students was posted, people have come to inquire almost every day. At the beginning of February, from the date of registration, the stream of people who came to sign up was endless, almost breaking the threshold of Lianchi Academy.

Gu Shanchang was busy, but seeing that Xie Mingxi was not in a hurry, he was quite surprised, and opened his mouth to ask, "Didn't you say that you wanted to build a shop?" Why didn't I see you busy and stay in the academy all day? ”

Xie Mingxi reads, learns, practices, piano and paints, and regularly spends an hour every day to practice martial arts. Life goes by leisurely. Hearing this, he smiled leisurely: "I have already arranged it." Construction will begin tomorrow and will last for one month. By the beginning of March, it will be covered. ”

"Also, all the shops have been rented out, and one is rented for two hundred taels of silver a year. Increasing the rent silver by 10% every year! Master just waits for the silver. ”

Gu Shanchang: "......"

Gu Shanchang almost couldn't believe his ears, and blurted out: "You're not kidding!" ”

It's only been a few days, and everything is arranged?

Let's not talk about how to build 20 shops in a month. There is no shadow of the shop, why is it rented out? Moreover, this rent is not low!

Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Such an important matter, how could I joke with Master." This is a contract for renting a shop, and there is a deposit. ”

casually took a stack of paper and a few silver tickets from the table and handed them to Gu Shanchang.

……

Gu Shanchang accepted the contract and the silver ticket in disbelief.

There are 20 silver tickets of one hundred and twenty each. As for the contract......

Gu Shanchang read the first one, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Looking at the second and third copies, my eyes became more and more strange, until I saw the last one......

Gu Shanchang raised his eyes and looked at Xie Mingxi, who looked calm: "You rented five rooms yourself, and the Seventh Prince rented five rooms." The remaining ten rooms were rented by Yin Xiaoxiao, Fang Ruomeng, and Lin Weiwei. ”

"Mingxi! How can you do that! ”

"Even if no one comes to rent the shop for a while, just leave it alone. How can I get you to fill it? No, never! ”

Saying that, Gu Shanchang became excited: "These contracts don't count!" You take it all back for me! ”

Xie Mingxi smiled and comforted the excited Gu Shanchang: "Master, don't worry, listen to me." ”

"I rented a shop to run a business and to make money. It is by no means like the master thinks, to fill the academy with his own private room. ”

"The Seventh Prince and Sister Fang, Sister Lin, they also have the same plan as me."

"When we make a lot of money, Master shouldn't be hot."

Before Gu Shanchang could say anything more, Xie Mingxi said again: "Master, don't worry, if the shop is not managed well and loses money, we will stop next year." ”

Gu Shanchang nodded reluctantly. Then, frowning and asking, "What are you going to do after renting five shops?" Running a shop isn't as simple as you think. You have to have silver as the capital. Where is your private room enough, there is private money for the teacher, you can use it first! ”

Master always loves her like this!

Xie Mingxi's heart swelled with warmth, and he stretched his brows and laughed in a low voice: "Master, I am a person with a net worth of one million taels, and it is not a problem to open a few shops. Master doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Gu Shanchang glared at Xie Mingxi: "What a million net worth!" It's not a good habit to brag indiscriminately! ”

Xie Mingxi: "......"

To Sheng Hong, she has never been so honest! But Gu Shanchang didn't believe her truth at all!

……

On the second day, construction began outside the Lotus Pond Academy.

Xie Mingxi's handwriting once again opened Gu Shan's eyes.

The students entered the academy and began to attend classes, and the craftsmen were led outside the lotus pond academy. lest they collide with the delicate maidens. All craftsmen were strictly instructed to be light and not to make too much noise.

There are more than 100 craftsmen in total, divided into three teams, and they do not stop day and night, except for the time when the girls go to and from school for an hour.

In just a few days, the foundation was laid. After that, the speed of building the shop was even faster.

Gu Shanchang went out to see it twice a day, and then exclaimed: "Where did these craftsmen come from?" Why do you work so hard? ”

Xie Mingxi smiled casually: "It's very simple. I asked Yu An to tell them that the project would be completed within a month, and the salary would be tripled. ”

Gu Shanchang: "......"

People die for money, birds die for food, this sentence is not false at all!

With the hard work of the craftsmen day and night, within a month, two rows of shops were built. After that, it was the lacquerers and carpenters who went into battle, and they were still paid three times the high wages.

Within ten days, two rows of white shops outside the blue bricks and red tiles appeared outside the Lotus Pond Academy.

In each room, there are various wooden shelves for goods.

Soon, the shelves were filled with a variety of goods.

There are those who specialize in selling all kinds of clothing, some selling rouge and gouache, some selling all kinds of silk flowers, pearls and hairpins, etc., selling food and fruit wine, and some selling pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the shop that specializes in jade cream.

Yurong paste is subdivided into different aromas and different formulas, suitable for women of different ages. In recent years, Yurong paste has become famous, and more than a dozen shops have been opened in the capital alone. The Yurong Paste Shop outside Lianchi Academy has not yet officially opened, so it has put up a banner saying buy three boxes and get one box free. On the day of the opening, it was the day of the recruitment at Lotus Pond Academy.

In fact, all 20 shops opened at the same time on this day.

Unlike the shops outside, these 20 shops are all women's businesses, and the shopkeepers are all women.

Most of these women are married women in their twenties, and their families are poor, so they have to find a livelihood to supplement their families.

The wages in the shop are very generous, enough for the family to fill their stomachs. Before they went to work, they were given two clean and neat cyan cloth skirts, and someone specially trained them for a month. From standing to speaking, there are strict requirements.

Each shop had to employ at least two to three women, so that the twenty shops could feed fifty or sixty women.

On the day of the entrance exam for the Lotus Pond Academy, hundreds of young girls entered the academy. Hundreds of female dependents were idle, and naturally went into the two rows of shops to shop and buy.

Not to mention other shops for the time being, the shop that specializes in selling jade cream earned back several years of rent on this day.

It can be seen that in the world, a woman's silver is the best to earn.

After knowing this, Gu Shanchang was stunned, and subconsciously sighed: "I really don't know who this jade face paste is from." ”

Xie Mingxi naturally picked up the conversation: "Oh, I forgot to tell Master. This jade ointment is what I made. ”

Gu Shanchang: "......"
