Chapter 231: Development
Today, in addition to watching the children every day, Liu Man'er still writes books and takes care of the shop's business every other time.
At the beginning, she would personally buy people and train them, but now she doesn't need to do these things, she chose a smart young man named Chu Qinghe from among the people she bought, and promoted him to be a steward, and in the future, the matter of training people will also be handed over to him and Fulu and others.
There are also other things that Steward Wu and Han Shixin have to worry about, and more and more people are buying her now, and many times, she can hardly remember which people she bought, so she compiled a roster for these people, and found a housekeeper to take care of some trivial matters at home for her.
The housekeeper's name is Quan Fuxing, and he brought a wife and a daughter, his wife Liu Man'er put her in the back kitchen to cook, and his daughter Liu Man'er took her as Liu Man'er's maid.
Although Liu Man'er has now opened a total of six teahouses, snack shops, and restaurants in the county, all of which have very good business, but the most profitable is her printing workshop, and she earns more money from a printing shop than all the shops combined.
Therefore, only by mastering technology and monopolizing technology can you make a lot of money.
More and more people came to her printing workshop to buy books, and there were more and more orders, and Han Shixin even bought a porcelain kiln by himself, which was specially used to burn movable type for himself, and there were no less than 100 sets of movable type, large and small. Sometimes the Korean style is also used to burn some porcelain or something, so now Liu Man'er's dishes and bowls don't have to worry.
In addition to buying books written by Liu Man'er, the merchants who came to buy books also bought other books, and more people placed orders and asked Korean-style new ones to help them print the books they specified.
Although the books they specified can't print many copies and make a lot of money, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat, and after the panic of the initial surge in orders, the printing shop has now expanded several times, and it is already comfortable with these orders.
His printing shop even has a tendency to monopolize the entire market, after all, no printing shop has printed so fast as they do, and every time an order is placed, as long as the price is right, it will soon be able to help print it.
Even people in the government sometimes ask Han Shixin to help print notices, of course, most of these printed notices are free of charge or just enough on paper, but it doesn't matter, there is no shortage of money, in a small place like the county seat, you don't dare to offend the people of the county government.
However, there are many businessmen who feel that it is a little inconvenient to come to this county, and even Xiang Xiang, the shopkeeper, has put forward his opinions to Han Shixin several times, and Han Shixin came to discuss with Liu Man'er to see if he can move this printing workshop to the county town.
Liu Man'er thought about it and agreed, it takes almost a day to get from the county seat to the county seat, and it takes two days to come and go, which is indeed a bit of a waste of time, and it is more convenient in the county town.
Now Liu Man'er has a firm foothold in the county town, and there can be more development in a big city with convenient transportation like the county town.
With Liu Man'er's permission, Han Shixin moved the printing workshop to this county town, which was located near Liu Man'er's gold and silver village, and by the way, he also got a porcelain kiln in the manor.
As for the work of the printing workshop in the past, those who were willing to follow them were given some wages and let them come to the county together, and those who did not want to follow were left behind in the printing workshop in the county.
And Liu Man'er's teahouses are quite a medium of communication, specifically to help Liu Man'er spread her words, after they spread among the people, and then attracted a lot of businessmen to buy books from her, so the printing house made the most money.
With this printing shop, there will be a steady stream of money flowing into Liu Man'er's hands, and Liu Man'er will use the money to open new teahouses and new shops, and her words will be more widely circulated and she can earn more money.
Rich people will make more and more money, and after having these teahouses, it is much more convenient for Liu Man'er to do other businesses, after all, teahouses are places with more people, and it is more convenient to do publicity.
Liu Man'er is still a little dissatisfied with opening a shop in the county town, in the past year, she asked Steward Wu to go to the city next door to open a teahouse, Steward Wu naturally will not refuse, no one has too much money, no, sure enough, he didn't misunderstand Liu Man'er at the beginning, he didn't think that now he has a good fate for himself, bringing rolling wealth.
Liu Man'er asked Steward Wu to go to the county town next to him to open a shop, and also specially told him to let him hand over some things to the people below as much as possible, one is to make it easier for him, and the other is to let him bring a few more shopkeepers who can be used.
No matter where you are, there are talents, and these ancient talents are easier to find, of course, compared to hiring a shopkeeper from the outside, Liu Man'er prefers to buy those who can write and calculate, and then cultivate them well, such people will be more loyal, don't worry about their betrayal, and don't worry about the loss of talents she cultivated.
Of course, if this is the case, it is not enough to mobilize their enthusiasm, Liu Man'er also set up a performance, as long as the performance is not good, the shopkeeper will be removed by Liu Man'er, replaced by the capable guys in the store, if you let the guys under their own hands climb on their heads, this face is very unsightly, so for the sake of face, these shopkeepers will also work extraordinarily.
But this is not enough, there are naturally benefits of being a shopkeeper, not to mention other benefits, the salary alone is twice as much as that of ordinary guys, and excellent guys are also set up in the shop, and the salary of excellent guys is higher than that of ordinary guys.
Liu Man'er paid them wages,In addition to the fixed one,There is also a commission,All the guys take the commission of the net profit earned by the store every month,This gives them some of the consciousness of the protagonist.,Help the store make money.,It's also to help themselves make money.。
With this upgraded system, these employees will naturally work hard, and Manager Wu will go to inspect from time to time, and he is not afraid of any problems.
More money was collected into Liu Man'er's hands, and Liu Man'er used them to open shops one after another, so that before she knew it, it was the end of the year.
This year, Liu Man'er felt that she had experienced too many things, and the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs, seemed to have been tasted by her overnight.
But she has finally transformed from the role of a soft and weak peasant woman to the role of a strong and brave woman, maybe this is the real herself, in the past, she has been suppressing her nature for Ye Yuan, thinking that it is good to be rich, but she is also afraid of things everywhere, all kinds of clumsiness, for fear that others will know that she is different, and she will get into some trouble.
Now, she doesn't think so, since she can't live this life in peace and stability, why not follow her heart, rely on the advantages of coming from the afterlife, and rely on the technology in her brain to shine in this other world!
If you can't hold the hand of your son, step on the flowers and sing, then let yourself cross the world, rich in the world, don't forget, she is the most tenacious vine, the vine is either entwined with the tree, or she is independent and tenacious, inadvertently climbing the entire hillside.
The weather is getting colder and colder, one morning, the sky is just slightly bright, Liu Man'er climbed up to bed, after picking up himself, he pushed the door out, as soon as the door opened, it was a gust of cold wind to pave, the outside world was snow-white, snowflakes fell one after another, like catkins in spring flying around with the wind.
It's snowing.
The corners of Liu Man'er's mouth unconsciously curved upward, and she stepped into the courtyard, stepping into the courtyard, stepping on a line of slender footprints inside.
There was a soft squeak, Liu Man'er stood still, and saw Shuai Shuai jump to her side, now Shuai Shuai has grown up, Liu Man'er's shoulders are no longer enough for him to stand, it obediently bowed its hands, standing beside Liu Man'er, its big eyes looked at her from time to time, and there was some puzzled light in her eyes.
Shuai Shuai was taken care of by Liu Man'er's family too well, unlike the wild monkeys in the mountains, its hair was shiny and fluffy, Liu Man'er liked to rely on it when he was fine, and sometimes joked with it that he wanted to skin it to make a jacket.
Unlike the monkeys in the mountains, the place where Shuai Shuai sits is soft and comfortable, so its buttocks have not shed hair, in addition to being much larger, it is also as cute as before, and it is becoming more and more humane, so that every member of the family likes it.
Liu Man'er is not as lazy as before, in the past, she only got up at three poles a day, and now she gets up early every day, first of all, she is exercising, no one protects her, and she uses herself as a man, which is not only reflected in wisdom, but also in physique.
In order to make herself stronger, she would run every day with a sandbag, then carry a stone lock to practice arm strength, and finally practice horseback riding and archery.
Since Liu Man'er began to exercise, Ye He, Fang Shi and others sometimes don't believe that this is Liu Man'er, at first everyone was guessing when Liu Man'er would give up, after all, it was a great challenge for Liu Man'er, but now, no one thinks like this anymore, because Liu Man'er has persisted day after day, and until now, she still hasn't given up.
In the past, although she was not lazy, she was not industrious, she would not sit if she could lie down every day, and she would not stand if she could sit, but now she is like a person, standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, and getting up early in the morning every day.
Every time people get up to clean the yard, they will see Liu Man'er running, in the first few days, they are a little trembling, for fear of Liu Man'er's scolding, although Liu Man'er did not scold them later, but now they will consciously get up early.
As the saying goes, words teach by deeds, and there's really nothing wrong with that. Liu Man'er's diligence has also driven Ye He and Ye Feng and others, they now get up early every day to exercise, practice martial arts or study, because of Liu Man'er's drive, they also fall in love with archery, sometimes Liu Man'er runs a lap of steps, and then rides and shoots arrows with them, which is also very interesting.
