Chapter XXVII. Expansion and Preparation
Time flows!
In the blink of an eye, six months have passed!
In these six years, Li Kuan has lived a very fulfilling life!
Radio gymnastics, reading, dog training, food for the day expansion, etc., the daily time and itinerary are almost full.
And, of course, the harvest is also very good!
[Constitution: 0.19]
[Spirit: 0.82]
The physique has increased by a full 0.02, and the spirit has also been successfully increased by 0.01 in the past six months!
In addition to the gains in physical fitness, in the past six months, he has also had preliminary gains in the training of five dogs!
Now some simple commands such as sit down, stand up, come back, go over and see, and so on, the five dogs can basically do it!
As for the development of food for the sky...
After six months, with Li Kuan's plan, money, and the role of several restaurants contributed by Zhao Shi, Shiweitian has now expanded to as many as ten!
Of course, because there are more stores opened, the daily turnover of each store is naturally not as much as before!
But no matter how little, the net income of the ten restaurants now adds up to almost 1,500 yuan a month!
That's a lot of money!
You must know that Li Kuan's income in the previous year was only 1,000!
And the so-called interests are moving, for such a large amount of income, naturally no one is tempted, among those wealthy families and nobles, there are a large number of people who are very hot for these eyes!
They don't know the specific income of Food for the Day, but looking at the hot scene of Food for the Day every day, they also know that the income must be expensive!
But in the end, they all gave up!
People in this era are not as knowledgeable as Li Kuan from the information age, but this does not mean that they have no brains!
You know, Sun Tzu's Art of War has been around for more than 2,000 years, and it has been used in various fields!
Therefore, among the people who are tempted, there is no Tie Hanhan who does it directly, and they are all subconsciously checking the background of food first!
And after such a check, they didn't dare to move!
Although Li Kuan is only two years old this year, he is the king of Chu!
And!
Behind Li Kuan, there is now the Qin Palace, where the Tang Dynasty is in full swing.
Not to mention that it is for such a small amount of money, it is not worth offending the two kings at once, even if it is just to offend Li Kuan, in this era of official position, money is not as good as power!
Besides!
Those wealthy families, nobles and magnates, which one does not have a way to make their own money?
They usually make a lot more money than Li Kuan!
It has only been developed for less than half a year, and no matter how it is, it is impossible to compare with those wealthy families, nobles and magnates for decades or hundreds of years!

Den!
After his daily workout, Li Kuan called his cheap uncle!
"Now that Shiweitian has developed to a limit, ten stores have basically covered the entire Chang'an City, if we continue to open in Chang'an City, the most we can only do business with ourselves!" Li Kuanzheng said.
Zhao Shi thought about it and found that the facts were indeed as Li Kuan said.
He asked, "So what should we do next?" To other cities, other counties? β
After half a year, he is already convinced of his cheap nephew, and he will no longer treat Li Kuan as a two-year-old child, nor will he think that his words are a child's naΓ―ve thoughts!
"Yes, expand outside Chang'an!"
Li Kuan nodded and said, "I called you here because I want you to collect the situation of the cities and counties near Chang'an, and see which cities and counties are relatively rich, which cities and counties are poor, which cities, and counties are not very good in public security, etc., so as to prepare for the next expansion of Food for the Sky!" β
"When the time comes, we can open two more families in rich cities and counties, and in poor cities, counties can only open one or even not open, and those who are not very good in public security will first feel the situation and then decide whether to open it or not!"
"Understood!"
Zhao listened to Li Kuan's instructions and nodded.
If Li Kuan's meaning was what he said before, he would definitely be confused.
But after these six months, under the influence of Li Kuan, he seems to have opened the door to a new world for business, publicity, hype, store location, personnel training and a series of business operations, he already has a certain understanding!
So now that Li Kuan said it, he almost understood!
The reason why I want to collect these is actually the same as the previous branch that opened for food.
It is necessary to decide how many stores to open in a certain area according to different areas, foot traffic, purchasing power, etc., so as to ensure that all restaurants can maximize profits!
"Also, you go and help me find someone who is good at using daggers, I want to learn how to use daggers!" Li Kuan said again.
This is his preparation for the next crossing!
Although he has a dog, he also has to have some means of self-defense.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if!
In case something happens, or if he's in danger alone, and outsiders or dogs can't help, this can help... Although it may not be very useful!
Of course, the reason why it is a dagger is also because Li Kuan took into account his age!
Now he is two and a half years old, a little taller than half a year ago, but still about one meter!
In this case, it is not suitable for him to use other weapons, whether it is weight or length, and only such a thing as a dagger is suitable for his current height, and he has enough strength to use it!
If he wants to change it to a sword, he may be able to pick it up, but if he wants to use it normally, there is basically no way!
This is like a weightlifter who can lift a barbell with an astonishing weight, but it is impossible to play with a barbell with an astonishing weight as a toy on the spot!
"Uh... Good! β
Zhao Shi was a little puzzled why Li Kuan was looking for such a person, but because of his personality, he didn't ask, but directly agreed!
This also has a lot to do with Li Kuan's performance in the first half of the year!
If it weren't for Li Kuan's almost demonic performance in front of him in the first half of the year, no matter how obedient he was, he would not let Li Kuan come into contact with this kind of thing.
After all, the weapon itself is dangerous, and if Li Kuan hurts himself, then he really deserves to die!
"And one last thing... I hope you will find a relatively remote yard in the civilian area west of the city and buy it, and then find me a hundred children between the ages of four and eight!" β
Li Kuan explained in a deep voice, "Now that food is constantly expanding, the demand for accounts and the like is also relatively large, and if you rely on outside recruitment in the future, you may not be able to recruit it, so I plan to train a group of people to prepare for the expansion of food for heaven in the future!" β
That's a bright statement!
In addition to this statement, Li Kuan wants to prepare more for his future forces!
Talents cultivated since childhood can not only ensure their loyalty, but also be cultivated in a targeted manner, specifically in the direction required by the forces!
For example, if there is a lack of account rooms, cultivate some account rooms, and if there is a lack of generals, train some generals, in short, what Li Kuan's forces need in the future, you can specialize in cultivating anything!
And there's a reason why children between the ages of four and eight are specifically chosen!
Children who are too big have a stereotyped mind and world view, and they are not easy to raise, and they are not ripe!
Children who are too young to take care of themselves, and in this era when the death rate is so high that it is frightening, if these children are adopted, they may not be able to cultivate talents, and more than half of them will die!
Children who are only four to eight years old, whose thoughts and worldview have not yet been fixed, are easy to raise, can be raised, and have a certain degree of self-care ability, and the most likely period of death has passed, so they are the most suitable candidates!
"That's a great idea!"
Hearing Li Kuan say this, Zhao Shi's eyes lit up.
The people you cultivate yourself are definitely useless in questioning their loyalty, and they are definitely easier to use!
"Okay, if it's okay, you can go down first, and do as I say!" Li Kuan waved his hand!
"Yes!"
After Zhao Shi nodded, he turned around and left!
