Zhenyuan Hou Mansion also received news from the Bai family.
"This kid Liang Xiao actually dares to sign such a contract with Bai He?"
Zhenyuan Hou Nangong Lei stopped writing and sneered.
Nangong Ning on the side said with a smile: "There is no businessman in the world, so how could Dingguohou's Mansion miss the opportunity to raise prices to make money! You know, Dingguohou's Mansion has made a lot of money from Liang Xiao before, and the Bai family has taken it Eighty percent, Dingguo Hou Mansion also accounts for at least 20%!"
"Isn't it Liang Xiao's own loss? The Dingguo Marquis Mansion and the Bai family are doing business normally, just fight as you wish." Nangong Lei smiled, then returned to seriousness, "However, that kid Mu Lingxiao seems to I also appreciate Liang Xiao, which is a bit difficult to handle."
"Dad, don't worry, he just uses Liang Xiao as a spearman because he hates the Duanmu family!" Nangong Ning said angrily.
Nangong Lei's eyes were cold, looking at Liang Xiao's portrait on the table, and said: "I have entrusted those people to do it. As soon as Liang Xiao leaves the capital, he will definitely die. What we have to do now is to find a way to drive him out to avoid long nights and dreams." ."
While the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion plotted against Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao also arranged residences for fifty families with a total of 260 people.
These people all had families, but they all signed confidentiality agreements with him and were supervised by guards.
This land has a large population since ancient times, but the human power is so humble...
In this world, ordinary people have to worry about their next meal, let alone refugees.
In comparison, a little bit of personal freedom is insignificant to them. Liang Xiao gave them a bite of food and returned wages with food and accommodation included, which is already comparable to a savior.
Calculated based on the wages of ordinary workers in the capital from 100 to 300 yuan a day, one tael per month is not much. However, Liang Xiao considers that other workshops do not pay wages to recruit refugees. At present, he needs to avoid being "involved" due to his own "And cause unnecessary trouble.
The retired guards of Marquis Dingguo's Mansion used to be well-trained elites. Under the arrangement of Marquis Dingguo, they had such a job as guards after retiring. It was not difficult to manage these workers' families.
These families even actively cooperated, fearing that Liang Xiao would fire them because they were dissatisfied, and then they would have no choice but to continue sleeping on the streets and eventually be sent back to the refugee camp, where they would eat unpalatable food every day.
After Liang Xiao comforted the workers, he looked at the account books he bought and frowned.
Grandma is old and Jiang Fuxue is too young. The people hired from outside cannot be trusted for the time being, so she can only keep the accounts herself.
But in this way, it will shorten your time to make money.
"Who should I look for?" Liang Xiao murmured to himself.
In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
The empress listened thoughtfully to Duan Yunxiu's story: "Although he is a prodigal, at least he can spend money on the refugees and provide a home for the workers."
As she said that, the empress looked ashamed again: "The treasury is rich, but a few thousand taels cannot take care of so many refugees."
Duan Yunxiu hesitated and said: "I will pay more attention to my money in the future, but when it comes to Liang Xiao..."
"You don't have to pay attention. My sister just wants you to be happy. You just need to pay attention to your safety. Regarding money, my sister will find a way." Duan Yunyi comforted her.
Duan Yunxiu agreed, with worry on his face.
She also knew that Liang Xiao was wasting his family by doing this, but now in order to train Liang Xiao, she didn't care about the money.
In fact, the money was all taken from the sisters' small coffers.
Thinking of this, Duan Yunxiu plucked up the courage and said, "I believe he will be able to support his sister in the future..."
Duan Yunyi just nodded slightly and did not refute, but he disagreed in his heart.
Is it that easy to make money in this world?
No one knows better than her how much business the major aristocratic families in the country control.
Another batch of sugar cane was delivered to the capital, with hundreds of cars in total.
The ones with the best quality were purchased first by the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce, followed by Dingguo Hou Mansion, and then Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
"Liang Xiao, you should also know that the Dingguo Marquis Mansion sells 11 taels per thousand kilograms of sugarcane, but here it is only 13 taels! They raised the price by 10%, so they can't blame me!"
In the lobby of the Bai family, Bai He showed Liang Xiao the published price of the Dingguo Hou Mansion.
Liang Xiao said: "Then give me fifty thousand catties first, six hundred and sixty taels, and your people will be responsible for delivering it to my workshop. Is that okay?"
Bai He's eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course there is no problem! But these 50,000 kilograms of sugar cane have just been harvested and shipped from outside the city. They can be stored for up to six or seven days. If it rots at your place by then, don't come to me to return it. clear?"
Liang Xiao bought 50,000 kilograms of sugar cane without hesitation.
After the news spread, the streets and alleys were filled with discussions about Liang Xiao.
"He has lost at least tens of millions of taels in the past two years, right? Why did he start the sugar cane business again? This means that the sugar cane business is about to collapse again!"
"The devil knows what he is thinking. He has been in business for two years and has never made a penny!"
…
Empress Duan Yunyi took two of her followers for a private visit. Listening to the discussions of the people around her, she shook her head helplessly.
"Yunxiu has developed a liking for him unknowingly, but this Liang Xiao can obviously specialize in poetry, but he must do business, and he still can't get rid of the pedantry of a scholar..."
"Your Majesty, according to Her Majesty's wishes, he is doing business for Your Majesty's sake!" a follower sighed.
"For me?" Duan Yunyi was stunned, with a bitter look on her face. No one knew what she was thinking at this time.
Fifty thousand kilograms of sugar cane were successively transported to the workshop and piled up like a mountain.
Liang Xiao was not stingy. He gave ten catties to each household and was the first to consume five hundred catties.
"No, no, no! There is no need for our benefactor to give us sugar cane. This thing is very expensive. It costs ten cents per pound!"
None of the fifty households dared to accept it. It was not until Liang Xiao urged them to taste it that they were moved beyond measure.
"Sugar making is just one of the jobs. There may be other important tasks entrusted to you in the future." Liang Xiao reminded.
Everyone pledged: "I will be loyal to the boss to the death!"
Liang Xiao just nodded with a smile and went to the workshop of Dingguohou Mansion again.
"Master Liang arrived just in time. All the tools are ready, including the sugar cart!"
Liang Xiao followed the shopkeeper to the inside of the workshop to inspect.
The sugar truck used for making sugar is actually a pulping truck.
Its shape and specifications are made of two upper and lower horizontal boards, each about five feet long, five inches thick, and two feet wide. Holes are drilled at both ends of the horizontal boards to install pillars. The tenon at the upper end of the pillar should be slightly exposed from the upper horizontal plate, and the tenon at the lower end should pass through the lower horizontal plate two to three feet, so that it can be buried in the ground and make the entire car body stable without shaking.
Drill two holes in the middle of the upper horizontal board, and place two large wooden axes (made of very solid wood) side by side. One of the two wooden axes is about three feet long, and the other is about four feet and five inches long. The tenon of the shaft exposes the upper transverse plate for mounting the plow load. There are also plows and axle end chisels. The sugarcane can be sandwiched between the two axles and rolled over, which is similar to the driving principle of cotton ginning.
As for other earthen jars, yellow mud water and the like, they were also piled up on the site.
