Chapter 470: The idea of running a bar
After venting their anger in the bar, Li Si and others returned to the hotel. They slept peacefully and did not disturb Ying Zheng again.
The next day, when everyone woke up, they reported what happened at the bar to Ying Zheng.
After Ying Zheng learned about the bar, he frowned slightly and said, "What do you think of the bar? Is it suitable to open in Xianyang City?"
"Not suitable." Li Si and others said in unison.
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked.
Feng Quji said: "Reporting to your Majesty, although bars are a place to vent your emotions, things can easily happen.
In the bar, there is a mixture of good and bad, and everyone is there. If there is an assassin in there, or someone who harms the people, no one can guarantee it.
This is not the main thing. The most important thing is that the dancing in the bar is not the right way and feels a bit crooked. "
"Zhang Han." Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Zhang Han, "You often go to bars, so you should know more.
Do you think if I open the bar outside, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits? "
Zhang Han thought for a while and said: "The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Your Majesty, you don't know. The bar's profit is nearly ten thousand taels a day. Not only that, the bar can also drive the surrounding economy. Not only will the number of vendors increase, but also the surrounding shops will increase." .
To put it simply, a bar can boost the economy of a street and allow the court to collect more taxes.
As for security, to be honest, you can send someone to keep an eye on the bar every day, or turn the bar into an object of special attention to the court.
Outside the bar, there are often soldiers patrolling, and inside the bar, there are Black Dragon Guards serving as waiters to monitor, so there is no need to worry about anyone harming the people or His Majesty. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "You are right, no one can say whether a bar is good or bad. In fact, it all depends on the operator.
The bar in the village is managed by Qin An, which gives the villagers a place to have fun. A business circle is formed around the bar, which is a good thing for the village.
A bar is just a shop, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?
If it causes harm to the people, it is very rare. As for harming me, that is even more alarmist. I don't go to the bar, what can they do to me? "
"Your Majesty is wise," Zhang Han said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "How is the bar business? How much can you make in a day?"
"At least one thousand taels." Zhang Han replied.
"Is the profit that high?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
One thousand a day, ten thousand in ten days, one hundred thousand in one hundred days, and three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, that is, you can earn 36,500 taels in a year.
This is still a bar in the village. If there are many bars in Daqin, one can earn at least 10 million taels a year.
If the court takes 40%, it will be four million taels. Four million taels is enough for the court's military expenses and at the same time enough for the expenses of the court officials.
Ying Zheng was a little excited just thinking about it. No wonder Qin An always said that with commercial taxes, who could look after those crooked farmers?
Li Si and others were also shocked. Now think about it, according to the people in the bar yesterday, it was more than a thousand taels a day, maybe more.
This made them all think about it. The bar is a gold-eating beast that will make their industry expand instantly.
Everyone already knows that the competition in the future will not only be about fields, but also talent and money.
Only when talented people continue to appear in the family can they pass the imperial examination and become officials in the court, and the family's power can be consolidated forever.
Second is money. As the saying goes, money makes things easier. Only with a steady stream of money can a family provide a better education for its descendants, and at the same time, it can do better in other aspects.
Now that such a good money-making business appears in front of everyone, who can not be tempted?
"Your Majesty," Li Si said, "Weichen also thinks that we can give it a try and open a bar in Xianyang City. As for the specific details, Weichen thinks that he can ask Qin An.
There are many things in between that we don’t know much about yet, but the most important thing is wine. According to Wei Chen yesterday
Observation at the bar, there was a lot of wine on the bar counter.
There is a bar for these wines and they are also stored. No matter which one it is, it’s all the same to us, and that’s wine.
Nowadays, the wine in Da Qin cannot be compared with the wine in the village, and there seem to be more varieties in the village. "
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You want to ask Qin An for the brewing recipe?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Li Si smiled, feeling a little embarrassed that his thoughts were exposed.
Feng Quji smiled bitterly: "Master Li, if you ask your husband for it, he will definitely give it to you. With the wine-making technology, your Li family will become the richest man in Daqin."
Li Si waved his hand and said, "Xiang Feng is serious. There are many, many ways to make money. Although selling wine is very profitable, selling salt is also very profitable.
Grain is needed to make wine, but not to make salt. There are no salt mines in the mountains. Seawater can be used, which can be said to have no cost. "
"Haha..." Feng Quji laughed.
Zhang Han, Meng Yi and Gan Luo on the side all frowned slightly. Is it okay to say this in front of His Majesty? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you? .
However, instead of being angry, Ying Zheng was very happy.
"Haha... If everyone in the world could be as rich as you, then how strong would Da Qin be? Will it be the same as in the future?"
"It's the same, absolutely the same." Li Si said, "Now we are the pioneers, letting merchants do business, letting nobles do business, and letting everyone in the world realize the benefits of merchants.
Only by raising the status of merchants can Da Qin focus its attention on merchants and give up the pitiful profits of farmers. "
"That's right." Ying Zheng said, "At that time, I will distribute the land to all the people in the world, and I will no longer collect agricultural taxes and labor services.
In the past, people regarded hard work as a tiger, and doing hard work was like committing suicide. After I canceled the labor service, the people all thanked me. I can feel that they are sincerely grateful to me.
This is something I have never experienced before. Even if I unify the six countries, I will not feel that kind of joy. "
"Your Majesty, that is the gratitude of all the people. This shows that all the people truly return to their hearts. It is difficult to unify the six countries with force, but it is even more difficult to make all the people return to their hearts.
Your Majesty not only unified the six countries, but also achieved the unity of all the people. It can be said that you truly unified the six countries, so you are happier in your heart than using force to unify the six countries. Li Si said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. So what I want to do now is to bring the world back to its heart, not just the people, but also the nobles and royal families of the Six Nations. I want to make sure that there will no longer be any remnants of the Six Nations in the Six Nations. Only the people of Da Qin."
"Your Majesty has great talents and strategies, and I admire you all." Li Si and others said respectfully.
"Haha..." Ying Zheng laughed, "My dear friends, let's go have breakfast."
"promise."
Afterwards, everyone came to the restaurant on the first floor, had a hearty breakfast, and then went to find Qin An.
