Chen Man happily told Zhao Feng about this matter. Zhao Feng was handling some official business at this time. When he heard this, he couldn't help but said without raising his head.
"This is normal, because you have now formed a chain operation. Originally, it was not that simple to form a chain operation in this era."
"But because this matter is related to the suppression of bandits and the policies of various places, you were able to make so much money in such a short period of time."
What Zhao Feng said was not a lie, because in such an era, it is very difficult for any business to form a chain operation. Many stores can only open a branch in one or two counties next door, because if If it is too far away, there will be no way to carry out joint management.
It is very difficult to manage so much business by letters in this era, because often when something happens, the matter reaches the point where it has to be solved before a reply is sent from the superior.
Only the restaurant now run by Chen Man can manage it so easily because its business is very simple and only provides lunch boxes and takeaways.
When Chen Man saw that Zhao Feng didn't seem to want to talk to him anymore, he pouted in dissatisfaction, then rolled his eyes and asked Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, I think this restaurant business is very profitable. How about I open more restaurants?"
"Apart from our Qingzhou, youzhou next door can also open this restaurant!"
When Zhao Feng heard this, he stopped writing in his hand, turned to Chen Man and shook his head.
"If you believe me, I advise you not to do this."
Chen Man looked at Zhao Feng with some confusion: "Why is this?"
"Now every restaurant can earn more than ten taels of silver every day, which adds up to hundreds of taels!"
"If I open more restaurants, wouldn't it be possible to increase my profits several times?"
Zhao Feng smiled and shook his head and explained to Chen Man.
"It's very simple, because now you have reached the limit of management, not the limit of your management ability, but the limit of the transportation restrictions of this era."
"Now in the county farthest from here, every letter takes at least a day and a night to deliver!"
"If you take these businesses to other states, it will take at least seven or eight days to send the letters, and the day lilies will be cold by then."
"If there is some emergency situation there, but there is no command from you, how should you deal with it?"
Chen Man couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and then quickly shook his head.
"So that's it, then I won't expand my business any more!"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and said to Chen Man.
"You don't have to be discouraged. There is no way to solve this matter. The simplest way is to train someone you trust and let him take charge of business in other states."
"However, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. Another way is to have faster communication methods."
Zhao Feng thought like this in his mind, remembering something from his past life and modern times, which was the telegraph.
If he could create a telegraph in this era, he could connect all the states of the Zhou Dynasty together. At that time, no matter what letter he wanted to send, he only needed to type a telegram and it would be delivered to the other party quickly. There we go.
It's just that Zhao Feng has no plans to create a telegram now. The most important thing is that his technology is not yet that mature.
Chen Man nodded in understanding. Zhao Feng waved his hand and asked Chen Man to continue handling his business. Chen Man saw that Zhao Feng did not have the feelings for her that she imagined, which made her feel a little discouraged.
Zhao Feng really didn't have time to think about these things. There were many things that required him to be busy at this time.
Since Chen Man started running that restaurant, the militia teams in various places no longer have to worry about not being able to keep up with their nutritional supplements. This has also allowed the combat effectiveness of the militia teams in various places to begin to increase rapidly, and it will not take long to reach Zhao Feng's predetermined level. .
Zhao Feng never forgot that training these militia teams was not his own purpose, but just a means to achieve his purpose.
His real purpose is to suppress bandits!
Although the imperial court allocated a batch of money, some of the money had been embezzled. Even if they killed those officials, they could not hand over all the money. Therefore, in order to complete the task of suppressing bandits, Zhao Feng We must find a way to get the money together.
Originally, Zhao Feng wanted to let some big households contribute money together with the common people, and then the people's money would be returned intact, but those big households were not willing to pay to suppress the bandits at all.
Since what they have to face now are relatively small bandit forces, these forces will not do anything to these big households at all, and they have no interests involved.
Under such circumstances, these big business owners would not be so stupid as to give out some money and let them send troops to suppress the bandits!
"So the militia cannot just train. If it is just training, then no place will be able to bear the expenses of the militia."
"The path of the militia is unworkable. If the court still has so much money, of course it can use part of the money to replenish it for these people to make their lives better."
Zhao Feng thought this in his mind, and couldn't help but tap his fingers on the table, silently thinking about several other methods.
Far away in the palace of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the news compiled from various places.
"It seems that I am thinking too much about Mr. Zhao. Not only is money embezzlement happening in various places, but the state treasury has also spent a lot of money on the militia."
"It seems that these militia teams can only be disbanded!"
Zhou Zhen couldn't help but sigh. After all, it was the time when the Zhou Dynasty was gradually declining. Although Zhou Zhen was unwilling to admit it, the money in the treasury was indeed not enough for him to form militias in various places. There would be such huge expenses and expenditures. .
Some places that had previously formed militia teams began to write letters to Zhou Zhen, asking Zhou Zhen to disband the militia team, so that a lot of money could be saved.
When Zhou Zhen saw these memorials, he silently picked up his dragon seal, but at this moment, he received a secret message from Liu Wei.
After reading some of the things in the secret letter, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes and took a breath of disbelief.
"Here, this Zhao Feng is so amazing!"
"I never thought there was such a way in the world. This militia doesn't need to be disbanded!"
