It's really not much.

However, the two of them only took half of the share, that is, five percent, so after the shopkeeper Jia left, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu entered the study and began to calculate the income of the royal dim sum shop in the past few months.

From the silver they received, it is known that the net profit of the royal dim sum shop for these four months was thirty-four thousand taels, forty-six thousand taels, sixty thousand taels, and seventy-two thousand taels, respectively.

A dim sum shop can have a net profit of 70,000 taels of silver a month, and this number is still growing, In Li Qiao's opinion, this shop is very good.

Moreover, Shenghong has been trying to find a way to expand production, the cow and sheep division of the milk is too little, can not meet the demand, so he buys milk from the whole Shengjing, and also plans to set aside a piece of land outside Shengjing, specifically for raising cattle.

At this time, there were no dairy cows, and only cattle were relied on to supply milk, which obviously could not meet the needs of the entire Shengjing.

However, you don't need to use cow's milk to make old-fashioned chicken cakes, and old-fashioned chicken cakes are the best of the three types of bread, so the milk aspect is actually not very stressful.

But the market is not infinite, because the total population of Shengjing is only more than three million, and most of these people are ordinary people, and the rich are in the minority.

Moreover, to make old-fashioned chicken cakes, you need to beat eggs, at this time, there is no electric whisk, only rely on manpower to whip them, and the old-fashioned chicken cakes you make every day are limited.

Therefore, for various reasons, although the business of the Royal Dim Sum Shop is booming, the sales volume is also limited.

According to Li Qiao's estimate, the profit of the royal dim sum shop should be about 100,000 taels a month.

If it is 100,000 taels a month, then it is 1,200,000 taels a year.

Throwing away the half of the ingredients that were allocated to him, then only more than 1,100,000 taels went into the treasury.

This number, in fact, is not small.

Because according to the information that Li Qiao recently obtained, Dasheng's financial taxes for a year are not counted as grain, but only silver, and the last thing that can enter the treasury of Shengjing is only more than 20 million taels of silver.

Because after each tax collection, the local government has to set aside some for daily expenses.

In addition, since the establishment of Dasheng, it has taken the road of low taxation, at the beginning it was 30 taxes and 1, and taxes were reduced and reduced from time to time, and then after the population increased, the taxes rose somewhat, but the overall tax was low.

Therefore, in recent years, the tax revenue that finally flowed into the Shengjing treasury was less than 30 million silver per year.

Nowadays, a dim sum shop can account for one-twentieth of the national treasury's revenue, which is really great.

Furthermore, this is only the main store in Shengjing.

Sheng Hong will definitely open branches in other provinces.

It doesn't matter if there is no milk in the branch, because the old-fashioned chicken cake does not need milk, only eggs, flour, sugar, and oil, so it can be opened in a remote area.

There are more than 300 prefectures in Dasheng, and the income of these more than 300 prefectures together will definitely exceed that of Shengjing Main Store, because the rich areas in Jiangnan alone can be about the same as Shengjing.

Therefore, if this dim sum shop develops well, the annual income can properly account for one-tenth of the national treasury income.

This......

This account is not unknown, and I was shocked when I counted it!

When Li Qiao wrote this method on the test paper, he thought that if the imperial court came forward to monopolize and open a cake shop, it would really be cool to die, and the profit would definitely be greater than that of vermicelli.

But in fact, due to various restrictions, the profit of the cake shop is not as large as that of vermicelli - last year, half of the share of vermicelli was more than 200,000 taels, that is to say, relying only on the five counties of Hexi Prefecture and Tongyi County, the net profit of vermicelli is more than 4 million taels of silver a year.

But it's true that he can earn one-tenth of the income of the treasury by relying on this alone, which is even cooler than he imagined.

Tao Zhu put one arm on the desk to support his face, he looked at the numbers on the paper, and the more he looked at it, the more incredible he felt.

Relying on small snacks to eat, there is such a great magic?

But it's true.

He sat up straight, looked at Li Qiao, and sighed sincerely: "Li Qiao, you are so powerful." ”

Li Qiao was also full of incredulity at this time, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Tao Zhu.

Putting the undisguised look of adoration, admiration, fascination, and admiration on Tao Zhu's face into his eyes, he suddenly felt a little weak.

Ahem, he didn't come up with these dim sum recipes.

But in this time and space, since he made it, it can only be invented by him.

He smiled and said: "I just have some talent in the dim sum area, and I just have ideas, and you are the one who really does it, and you are also very good." ”

"I'm like you." Tao Zhu shook his head, he stared at Li Qiao, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he couldn't help but reach out and hold Li Qiao's cheek and kiss him fiercely on the lips.

He originally just wanted to kiss it, but after kissing it, he retreated less than a foot, and when he saw Li Qiao's eyes crooked with a smile, he couldn't help but kiss it again.

This time, the tip of his tongue licked lightly on Li Qiao's lips.

This lick is the lick and something is wrong.

Li Qiao was mainly anti-guest, and when this kiss was over, most of his strength was taken away, and he could only sit on Li Qiao's lap and lie weakly in Li Qiao's arms.

Li Qiao's back is wider than him, just enough to circle him, the chair in the study is a spacious Taishi chair, Li Qiao leans on the back of the chair, one hand circles his waist, and the other hand gently rubs on his back, he narrows his eyes comfortably, and his cheeks can't help but rub in Li Qiao's neck socket.

He really likes Li Qiao.

Moreover, what made him couldn't help but steal fun was that Li Qiao liked him so much!

"Brother Zhu, Xin Gongzi asked when our dim sum shop will open? The two adults in my room also asked me today. ”

Li Qiao gently pinched Tao Zhu's earlobe and spoke.

Dasheng's Mid-Autumn Festival is not a statutory holiday, no holiday, that day when he went to work in the Hanlin Academy, Tao Zhu prepared a box of moon cakes for him, let him keep it for lunch.

Considering that Master Li and Lord Duan in the same room, Tao Zhu put more than 20 moon cakes into the food box.

As a result, Xin Zhi went to him again at noon, so he shared the moon cakes with Xin Zhi.

Xin Zhi didn't like dim sum very much, but Tao Zhu's moon cakes were really delicious, he ate three pieces in one go, and brought home two pieces.

He has a bunch of female dependents at home, and two pieces of moon cakes are definitely not enough, so he went to work the next day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and ran to ask him when the Li family's dim sum shop would open without waiting for noon.

At that time, Master Li and Master Duan were there, and after listening to Xin Zhi's words, they also followed Xin Zhi to ask him when the dim sum shop would open.

"Hmm...... I don't know. Tao Zhu thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

In the past few days, in addition to cooking, housework, and taking care of Li Xiaorui, he and Zheng Qianqian have been fighting against the fifty sets of clothes with Shen Hua.

He hadn't thought about the dim sum shop yet.

"We're not in a hurry, if you don't want to do it, this shop won't open." Li Qiao said and pinched his earlobe.

Although his colleagues love to eat, what does his bamboo brother want to do, Tao Zhu's happiness is the most important.

"I'm going out these days to see if there's a suitable shop. There were only four or five sets of clothes left for the painting brother, and it was completed. ”

Tao Zhu thought about it and said again.

"Then let's go find Han Ning after I disperse tomorrow." Li Qiao said.

"Good!" Pottery bamboo should be down.

Even if this dim sum shop is to be opened, it will be opened in the north of the city, and Han Ning, as a native of this area, is the most suitable person to find him.

Now it's the season to harvest sweet potatoes to make vermicelli, and it's also the season when autumn pears are about to ripen, but because autumn pear paste doesn't necessarily have to be made with autumn pears, Han Ning didn't go to Pingcheng this year and stayed in the capital.

The next day, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu came to the door, and after listening to their husband's explanation of their intentions, Han Ning immediately patted his heart and said that there was no problem, everything was left to him, and he was familiar with the land in the north of the city.

However, he was not only thinking about dim sum, but also duck goods.

"My lord, when will this duck workshop open?" Li Qiao became an official, and his name for Li Qiao changed, but his casual, relaxed, and natural attitude did not change.

"Wait, let's build a dim sum shop first."

I haven't bought anyone yet, and I only rely on a few Taozhuli Dashan, and I definitely can't take care of two shops.

"Then when will you find someone to buy someone?" Han Ning asked again.

Li Qiao smiled when she heard this: "This is not in a hurry, it depends on the mood." ”

Now he and Tao Zhu are not short of silver, and Tao Zhu has a lot of things to do recently, so he is naturally not in a hurry to open a shop.

Besides, he and Tao Zhu are used to the current days, if they buy a strange person and come back, and the family lives in a completely unfamiliar stranger, then he and Tao Zhu, including Li Dashan, will definitely not be used to it.

Therefore, the matter of buying people was listed on the schedule before returning to his hometown, but half a year has passed, and no action has been taken.

"Alas, my lord, your husband's little life is beautiful." Han Ning couldn't help but sigh.

"Not really." Li Qiao nodded generously.

There are husbands, silver, and officials, and anyone who sees it must say that it is beautiful.

During the second break, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to see several shops of Han Ningxun, and after looking at them all day, the two of them finally picked a shop less than 100 meters away from Han's stewed restaurant.

This shop is not the most suitable, but because it is close to the Han family's stewed restaurant, Li Qiao is set here, and if something happens, the stewed restaurant can take care of it.

This shop is a two-entry courtyard, a little narrow, the backyard includes the kitchen and only four rooms, but even so, it cost 1,800 taels, which is 100 taels more expensive than the three-entry yard where Li Qiao Taozhu lived at this time.

Because this shop is facing the street.

After the shop is bought, it is to find a blacksmith shop to prepare the corresponding tools, and also buy people.

Now that Li Qiao is an official, there is no need to look for people to buy people, the Han family looked for people who are familiar with people, and said Li Qiao's request, and after Li Qiao got off work, the tooth woman immediately brought someone over.

There are twenty people, the oldest is fifteen years old, the youngest is eleven years old, there are men, women and little brothers, and the gender is very complete.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu stood in front of these people, their eyes swept over the faces of these people one by one, asked them one by one, and assessed them on the spot, and finally bought four people.

A fifteen-year-old, somewhat sturdy young man, and very hard to get along, Li Qian changed his name on the spot, and from now on he was called Li Shun.

A thirteen-year-old, not as strong as Li Shunzhuang, and he spoke softly, looking a little wooden, Li Qiao also changed his name to Li Li.

A twelve-year-old is a little brother, this little brother is thin and small, and he looks malnourished, but he is good at needlework, and Li Qiao will leave him, and he will be called Li He from now on.

A ten-year-old, a little girl, good at needlework, made a purse in less than ten minutes, and Li Qiao changed her name to Li Le.

These four people all live on the other side of the shop and don't live at home.

In the next few days, after Tao Zhu sent Li Qiao to work, he went to the shop to train four newly bought subordinates.

Shen Hua taught him some experience, for the newly bought subordinates, first of all, you have to put on a straight face, not too kindly, lest these subordinates don't know how to kick their noses and faces.

Tao Zhu felt reasonable, and if he was too kind, he would be bullied, so when facing these four people, he had a serious face and strict requirements.

His facial features are already sharp, and if he puts his face up, he looks very difficult to mess with, and these four newcomers are very afraid of him.

Li Qiao accidentally knew that he was facing Shunli Hele and the four people like this, so he had to see it with his own eyes.

After seeing it, it was really love, and he sat on the ox cart back and kissed him out of breath.

In Li Qiao's view, Tao Zhu is not only not ugly, but also the appearance of a noble son.

It's just that because of the limitations of his vision and family background, his extravagance was not reflected.
