The next days were dull and busy, Shao Xi had already arranged it in Dali Temple, and Long Qitai paid attention to Xiao Liuzi's words and deeds day and night.

Shao Xi deliberately showed a helpless appearance after going a few times, believing that Xiao Liuzi had spread his current situation to the ears of the forces behind him, so as to confuse the other party.

The paper workshop and printing room at Egret Academy have been completed and are already in full swing.

These days, Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai, the two old men, are the busiest among all, from material selection to processing to finished product quality inspection, both of them are hands-on.

Since they started doing this, the two old men seem to have rejuvenated, full of energy every day, and more diligent than the young people.

The precious calligraphy and paintings that the two old masters pawned in Taihe Commercial House at the beginning, and the treasured classics were all redeemed by Bai Jinqing. Shao Xi repeatedly instructed him to open his mouth if there is a need for funds in the future, and now that the emperor has the old boy to support him, Shao Xi is not panicked at all!

The opening of the bookstore was selected in the most prosperous area in Daliang City, and the shop is also one of the best in this area, and this matter is also thanks to the shopkeeper Cao of Taihe Commercial Bank, if it were not for him, it may not be so easy to buy a shop of such a scale in such a location.

Shao Xi invited the best wood carver in Daliang City to carve the four characters "Yuyan Bookstore" inscribed by Xiao Changyi into a large plaque and hung it on the main entrance of the bookstore, and the original manuscript was framed and hung in the main hall of the bookstore.

This is no joke! Today's Shengshang Imperial Pen is inscribed, and the royal hand-picked bookstore is the only one in the Jingyuan Dynasty, so there are already crowds of people in front of the door on the day of opening.

Being able to buy paper books at cheap prices has attracted many customers, not to mention the fact that this bookstore that cooperates with the royal family actually sells printed copies of the articles and poems and paintings of today's saints, so they are even more eager to buy them. You must know that if the calligraphy and paintings of the holy articles are kept at home, even if they are just printed, it is quite a face-saving thing.

Shao Xi decided to use the bookstore in Daliangcheng as the base to standardize the procurement channels of bamboo, the manufacturing process of paper, the printing and binding processes, and the sales and operation mode of the bookstore.

After everything was put on the right track, it was comprehensively promoted throughout the Jingyuan Dynasty, and branches were opened throughout the country, a large number of manufacturing, printing and sales, and the operation of the funds was handed over to the Taihe Commercial Bank Cao Zhangbao to take care of, and at that time the daily silver money was rolling in, which I am afraid is unimaginable now.

Originally, Shao Xi thought that such a large-scale project would not be able to be completed by him alone in a year and a half, but he thought that now he wants money and money, and he wants people, and all the people involved in this matter are more active than himself, and it has begun to take shape in less than half a month.

This result was something Shao Xi had never expected.

Now there are two brothers in Dali Temple, Long Qihong and Long Qitai, so he naturally chooses not to appear or appear less, and he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being; The paper mill and printing room of Bailu Academy are guarded by Bai Dinggong and Liu Xingzhai, two old masters, so there is no need for him to go, and every time he goes, he is in the way; Yuyan Bookstore is Bai Jinqing, Hu Yushan, Han Shaoguang, and Zheng Yuanxiu take turns to sit in the store, after all, they still have to prepare for the Spring Festival, and it is impossible to stay in the bookstore every day, so they rotate in pairs, and Shao Xi doesn't need to worry about it; All the production materials of the equipment, the purchase channels of bamboo, the allocation and settlement of funds are all handled by the shopkeeper Cao of Taihe Commercial Bank, and Shao Xi can't reach out.

In this way, Shao Xi was idle, and he has been squashing at home for three days, and his farts are almost idle! Every day, he either practiced martial arts alone or competed with Fu Biao and the guards he brought in the backyard, and really lived the life of a rich young master.

Speaking of the ten guards brought by Fu Biao, each of them was a veteran who came down from the battlefield in front, although his martial arts could not be compared with Shao Xi and Fu Biao, but all of them were shrewd and strong, and their melee skills were by no means comparable to the guards in the ordinary officials' mansions.

Shao Xi invited a tailor to the mansion to make them a uniform style of clothing, all of which were made of the best fabrics. Others don't care, the guards in his family must not be inferior when they go out of the door, Fu Biao, as the leader of their guards, the clothes are naturally more elegant, and the fabrics are more expensive.

Fu Biao and the others felt that it was a bit too much when they just changed their clothes, they were just guards in the house, but the head of the family let them dress so luxuriously, they felt that this was obviously inconsistent with their identity.

But Shao Xi doesn't care, the people in his family naturally have to dress better, they are guards at home, but when they go out, they are equal to others, they dress well and eat well, they all earn it by their ability.

The best weapons shop in Daliang City purchased the best weapons for them, because they are all veterans who have retired from the military in front, and they are good at spears and straight knives, so they purchased a batch of straight knives of the best quality and came back, each with a hand.

In addition, Shao Xi knew that many of them still had family members left in their hometown, so they all went back to their hometown to pick up their families, arranged work directly in their own homes, and settled their wages on a monthly basis.

In this way, they can stay in their own homes without worrying about it, and each of them is paid a month's salary in advance to pay for daily necessities and send their children to private schools.

As for Fu Biao, Shao Xi privately threw him two pieces of silver, a total of ten taels.

Fu Biao was stunned when he got the silver, he had just entered the mansion and didn't do anything! These ten taels of silver were the military salary he had worked hard in the Tiger Battalion for half a year, and now Shao Xi threw it at him as if nothing happened, and said that it was just for pocket use!

"Childe, is this too much? I am alone and have no family, and I have taken care of my daily food and clothing, and I don't know where to spend so much money. ”

Shao Xi looked at Fu Biao's expression and couldn't help laughing.

"Take it! Even if a person usually goes out for a drink, it costs money to find a girl, and besides, you are the head of the guard in the house, so you can't spend their money when you go out with your brothers on weekdays, right? You still want to save face! Don't worry, this is not your salary, I said that your salary was taken by you to come to me on your own initiative, and as long as it is not too outrageous, the amount is as you want, and what I said will count. ”

Shao Xi's treatment of the people in the mansion is not to mention Fu Biao, even the ten guards and other maids and servants in the mansion who came with Fu Biao are also grateful to Shao Xi, and they all say that they have met a good master in their lives, and it is impossible to have this treatment in other people's homes, and no matter what status Shao Xi has, they are all regarded as family members.

Shao Xi always believes that there is a difference between high and low status, but there is no distinction between high and low personality, even if it is a slave and maid who sells herself, she should be respected, and the more Shao Xi is like this, the more the people in the house respect him and regard him as their reborn parents.

Shao Xi likes money, very, very much like money! Because he was poor and afraid! In order to treat my mother, I sold all the houses in my family, and if I had money, it wouldn't be like this.

But what is the money used for? Do you want to pile it up at home? Wouldn't that become a miser? With money, how to use it? It's not about buying yourself a bunch of luxury goods and making yourself look like a mascot! It's not about letting yourself get drunk and dreaming of living a luxurious life, but to let it be a help for you to achieve your ideals.

What is Shao Xi's ideal? His dream is to be a good boss.

When I was a small security guard, what I hated the most was the so-called "boss" who desperately deducted employees' wages and wanted to treat employees like donkeys.

Every boss thinks that he makes less money and doesn't earn enough, is it really not enough? It's just that people's desires continue to expand, making them feel that the money they make is never enough, so some people begin to do everything they can to make money. There is nothing wrong with making money, but the so-called bosses who make money from their own employees are the ones that Shao Xi looks down on the most.

Employees are poorer than bosses, but what employees lack is money, but what this kind of boss lacks is morality.

Shao Xi understands a truth, treat your subordinates well, and let your subordinates know that you are treating him well, so that he will be more loyal to you and do his best to complete the things you explain, are your subordinates willing to work for you and are afraid that they will not make money? This is the right mindset to be a boss.

Is there a bastard who doesn't know how to be grateful? Yes, there will be! But if you refuse to let everyone into your house for fear of thieves, then you don't even have a friend? I believe that the vast majority of people in this world still know how to be grateful. So, don't hate everyone because of one or two people, treat others well, and you will be rewarded.

Is Shao Xi a good boss? Absolutely! Now all the slaves, maidservants, guards, and miscellaneous servants in his family, each of these people who once lived in misery are now willing to die for him, because in their cognition, such a humble life can be respected by their own master, and even if they die, they will die with dignity.

Fu Biao listened to Shao Xi's words, and was so moved that he didn't know what to say for a while, and only said one sentence for a long time, "Childe!" If you don't dislike it, Fu Biao wants to stay by your side and be your guard for the rest of your life, no matter if you are rich or depressed in the future, anyone who wants to hurt Gongzi or Gongzi's family must first step on my Fu Biao's corpse. ”

"I'm baba You crow's mouth! We've only had a few good days, and you're going to curse us to be down? I haven't had enough of the days of drinking and sleeping every day, old man! I don't care if anyone wants our life, and if anyone wants our money, they must step on the old man's corpse first, otherwise I will definitely fight with him. ”

Lao Wu, the old guy, didn't know when he appeared behind Fu Biao, and suddenly there was such a voice, which startled Fu Biao, and he almost returned with a knife, then Lao Wu is really begging for benevolence, not to mention wine when the time comes, he just wants a wine shop Shao Xi can burn it to him.

When the three of them were here to study who had stepped on whose corpse, the housekeeper Liu Fu trotted all the way to the backyard.

"Childe, the shopkeeper Cao of Taihe Commercial Bank sent someone to invite Childe to come over."
