Chapter 34 Borrowing a car to pull money
On August 14, Li Shen came to the boutique pavilion. It was originally planned to be sold to this day. However, there has not been much sales in the past two days, but fortunately, Li Shen is closed today.
At this time, Li Shen checked the winemaking situation in the backyard of the boutique pavilion, and the factory building had been built, covering an area of two acres. There is still a place to build a small factory. After reading it, Li Shen and Wang Hongfu entered the warehouse.
The door of the storehouse was originally a heavy wooden door. Li Shen asked people to add a big iron gate. This era is not so peaceful. The treasury copper coins are piled up.
"Lord Wang, we sold for a total of nine days, but the sales in the next few days were not very good, so the ordinary gift boxes sold three thousand eight hundred and forty, a total of nineteen thousand two hundred, and the high-end gift boxes sold well.
In addition, a few wealthy merchants in Jiangnan and Luoyang and other places asked me to order 300 of them, and they promised not to sell them in Chang'an City, so I agreed to ship them back to the local area in advance.
A total of 1,136 high-end gift boxes were sold, a total of 11,360 cans, and we sold a total of 30,560 cans.
The cost of ordinary gift boxes is about the same money, the high-end ones are about two times because the gift boxes and silk are a little more expensive, and the cost of wine is not high because the food is cheap.
The main reason is the high cost of artificial appliances and gift boxes. The total cost is 6,112. The profit was twenty-four thousand four hundred and forty-eight. It's all here."
"So much" Li Shen also saw so much money in front of him.
It can really be described as a copper mountain, Li Shen is very excited. Walking up to the pile of copper coins, the money in the treasury was all placed on the ground, and of course Li Shen asked people to lay two layers of wooden planks on the ground.
Because of the tight time, there was no time for people to build boxes, but soon Li Shen couldn't laugh, more than 24,000 yuan, weighing more than 150,000 catties. How do you ship it back?
A carriage transports seven or eight hundred catties for a long distance, and Dongshi is close to the palace at most a thousand catties, that is, more than one hundred and fifteen carriages. Where did Li Shen go to find so many carriages? Li Shen once again felt the trouble of the ancient copper coins.
"Shopkeeper Wang, how can you say that this money can be transported back to the palace? Money certainly can't all be left with you and it's not safe. Li Shen asked the shopkeeper Wang.
"Lord Wang, so many copper coins need more than a hundred cars, and the largest car dealership in Chang'an doesn't have so many cars. Their cars were hired to transport them. Unless.... Wang Hongfu hesitated when he said this
"Unless anything," Li Shen asked
"Unless the prince can send cars from the palace, every year when winter is approaching, when the palace comes out to purchase reserves, at least more than 200 cars run several times, and there must be so many cars in the palace." Wang Hongfu said
"The car in the palace? I really don't know about this" Li Shen really didn't know that there were so many cars in the palace. Then he turned around and asked Lan Yu'er
"Yu'er, are there so many cars in the palace?"
"The prince has it, not only in the palace, but also in the six departments of the imperial court, and all the ox carts and carriages of the 30 divisions add up to nearly two thousand, especially the household department, or how to transport the taxes of the eastern and western cities to the treasury." Lan Yu'er replied
Also, the monthly tax revenue of the eastern and western cities must be more than he earns. How can it be transported back to the treasury without a car, but Li Shen feels that it is still convenient to have a car in the palace. The people who drove the car were eunuchs, and it was inconvenient for the user department to enter the harem.
Li Shen decided to go back to the palace to find a car after finishing the work for a while, and tomorrow for the holiday, Li Shen was going to give the workers a holiday, and no one would be at ease when there was no one to keep the money, so he immediately asked Wang Hongfu to put everyone in a hurry in the courtyard. Li Shen stood on a chair so that everyone could see him, and then said to the workers
"It's not a big deal to gather everyone here today. There are a few things to announce, first, our nine-day operation has been very successful. It's all your work. So applaud you guys. Li Shen was the first to applaud. In this era, applause is not yet popular, but the owner has done it, and the next generation will follow suit.
"This second, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, as the owner will give you some Mid-Autumn Festival benefits. That is, the benefits. All of them have one stone of rice per person, one pound of meat, one habit of rewarding money, and five habits of stewardship. The king's shopkeeper is thirty habits. After Li Shen finished speaking, he applauded consciously.
"Xie Dongjia Award"
"Thank you, owner"
There are eight female clerks in the boutique pavilion, four errand boys, and eleven people in the rhubarb village behind, and a total of less than seventy people. It's not that Li Shen doesn't want to give more, but sometimes the trickle is long-lasting, and Li Shen has seen a lot of things in his previous life.
After speaking, Li Shen asked the shopkeeper Wang to buy rice and meat, and if he couldn't take it, he hurriedly went back to notify his family to come over to help, a stone of rice was more than 12 catties, and the female clerk definitely couldn't take it. And Li Shen took the carriage back to the palace to borrow the car.
After Li Shen returned to the palace, he didn't know who to borrow. So Li Shen prepared to go to Wang De, who was the head of the harem. Definitely know where to borrow it. Li Shen met Wang De at the gate of the Liangyi Palace. Li Shimin was discussing with the courtiers inside.
"Lao Wang, I want to ask you something, who do you need to borrow if you want to use the frame in the harem." Li Shen asked directly
"Lord Wang, aren't there dozens of divisional rooms?" Wang De asked incomprehensibly
"I'm going to pull something this time, I'm going to use one hundred and sixty racks, you can tell who to find," Li Shen said anxiously
"One hundred and sixty crosses, what is this going to pull," Wang De was curious
"Don't ask, I'm going to pull something outside my body, and you can say where I can borrow it." Li Shen resumed
"So the old slave will go with you to the Shang Food Prison. Or go down. Not always able to lend out. It's the rule. Wang De said. Li Shen didn't give him any less things. Nor do they ask for anything in return. Finally, something happened, of course I helped.
In this way, Wang De took Li Shen to borrow one hundred and sixty ox carts and eunuchs who drove the carts, and Li Shen took the cart and went straight to Dongshi.
The merchants in the East Market thought that someone from the palace had purchased it, so they parked the car next to the boutique pavilion and took turns to enter the back alley.
Li Shen also arranged for eunuchs and fellow workers to help load the cart, and the ox cart was nailed with wooden planks on all sides, and it was enough to go out and wait when one was filled.
After coming in, it took more than two hours to complete the installation, and the total sales were 30,000 and 560 habits, and Li Shen pretended to take away 29,000 habits, including the cost of more than 6,000 habits, of course, Li Shen himself came out, of course, to take it back.
Only leaving more than 1,000 habitual as working capital is not enough for Li Shen to pull money from the palace, and Li Shen really feels unsafe here.
Even if there are more than 1,000 people who are used to letting this Li Shen tell Wang Hongfu to find two people on duty, and give the same amount of overtime pay in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't think that a thousand habits are not much, in this five pennies a bucket of rice of chastity. (12 catties of rice) 1,000 is a huge amount of money.
Li Shen asked people to send a thousand guan to the palace of Zhao Guogong to Princess Changle, and the rest of Li Shen was directly pulled back to the palace.
