This time's regular meeting.
Only then have the specific implementation details for the production team been truly set.
First of all, there is the issue of captain selection raised by Zheng Yueru. However, after discussions with the county magistrates, it was believed that it would be best for the captain to be chosen in his own village. Then on this basis, the county marquis government sends a "secretary"! These secretaries are naturally selected from those elites.
Most of them came from prominent and landlord families - after all, in this era, only those families who had no worries about food could afford to study.
Liu Zheng is very happy to see this.
Since the noble families, landlords, and this class cannot really disappear, then they can really mix with the peasants. Contact in all aspects is no longer a state of opposition, but a state of cooperation and mutual supervision.
In this way, there will be a lot less greed and fish and meat.
Secondly, it is the establishment of the Audit Department. This is bound to exist, but in this aspect, it sounded the alarm for Liu Zheng again. We don’t have enough manpower again! If we must continue to recruit troops, we must continue to make money!
Finally, it is about the formulation of various regulations for the production team, such as how to draw lots and how to distribute, to make it as fair and just as possible so that the captains cannot obtain personal gains from it.
Government orders were issued one after another.
The entire Yinzhou became lively again.
In order to express his gratitude to Zheng Yueru for this reminder, Liu Zheng gave 10% of the perfume sales to the Zheng family in addition to the 10% of the bet.
In other words, the profit from perfume sales is already 50%!
This made Zheng Yueru ecstatic.
This day.
Liu Zheng came to Fengming Tower again, which was his daily routine these days. As the production team was being set up in full swing, he still felt that there were really too few capable talents.
The secretaries sent to the village were all patched together. They were fine in the beginning, and the landlords from prominent families could provide some people who were literate and even proficient in calculations. But in the end, they were simply the tallest of the shortest. , as long as you have attended private school for a few days, you can go!
Therefore, Liu Zheng is now very hungry for talents. These days, he has also selected many talents in Fengming Tower. However, there were a few people he could see that were visiting Yinzhou, and few had any long-term development plans in Yinzhou.
This made Liu Zheng a little depressed.
The phoenix tree in Yinzhou still cannot retain talents.
Fengming Tower was still very lively.
That corner of Fengming Pavilion was in full swing again today, but all the real talents had been poached. Most of these discussions continue the topics from the previous few days.
"What does the production team think?" and "Is Mr. Liu a benevolent or a cruel king?" are topics that no longer have any nutrition.
"Brother Liu, do you feel that there is nothing good to say anymore?"
Zheng Yueru is here again.
Liu Zheng chuckled and said, "I was thinking that the county governor's government is probably trying to catch all the people, relying only on Fengming Tower to attract talents. This is putting the cart before the horse!"
Zheng Yueru frowned slightly: "Brother Liu, what do you mean?"
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "Education is the thing that benefits the present and the future!"
Zheng Yueru's delicate body trembled: "Brother Liu wants to build a private school? But most people in Yinzhou don't have spare money to provide for children to study, right?"
Liu Zheng shook his head: "Since it is a private school, why should it be private? If you want to do it, then do it as a public school!"
Zheng Yueru was suddenly startled: "Brother Liu..."
Liu Zheng sighed: "But this matter should be considered in the long term. The current county magistrate is really too poor!"
Zheng Yueru couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this: "Brother Liu often complains about poverty and Yueru, and he almost pointed at Yueru's nose and yelled at the Zheng family for being rich and unkind!"
Liu Zheng laughed.
Zheng Yueru was so shrewd, he laughed and said: "If Brother Liu really wants to establish this public school, it's not a bad idea! The Zheng family will do their best to support these gentlemen!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed: "Is this true?"
Zheng Yueru smiled and nodded.
In fact, in ancient times, the income of private school teachers was not very high. The so-called private school was originally a kind of private early childhood education institution established in families, clans and villages in ancient society - look, it was only at the kindergarten level. There are several types of private schools. One is village school, family school, and ancestral school. The monthly income of these gentlemen is only equivalent to that of a deacon in the county magistrate's office.
Probably only a few taels of silver.
The corresponding one is the public school.
It refers to a school established by the government, so it is naturally much more formal. However, Yinzhou has been exhausted for too long. Except for those prominent families who have their own private schools, there is only one private school in the entire Yinzhou.
Therefore, it is impossible for most children from poor families to read.
Students from poor families like Shen Xing mostly had parents who worked long-term as sharecroppers in prominent families, which gave them the opportunity to study outside the window. If the noble masters were kind-hearted, they would also let them observe.
But this situation is still rare.
Therefore, Liu Zheng believes that education is a major matter and a matter of great importance for the ages. But in the eyes of a prominent family like Zheng Yueru, the monthly money of a few gentlemen is really not worth mentioning.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Liu Zheng was in high spirits and thought that education must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Building a school in Yinzhou only costs about a thousand taels of silver, and the rest of the cost is just the husband's monthly salary. This matter is actually not difficult.
The two discussed for a while, and Liu Zheng asked strangely: "Why don't you see Miss Manqing today?"
Zheng Yueru looked ambiguous and laughed: "Is Brother Liu suffering from hysteria? Man Qing has been away from Fengming for a few days, and you only found out today?"
"What?"
Liu Zheng slapped his forehead, but no, he had indeed not seen Shen Manqing for several days.
Zheng Yueru smiled playfully and shook her head: "Maybe it's Miss Manqing who feels that someone is ruthless and her heart is no longer in love with Yinzhou. A few days ago, she went to Liangzhou with my Zheng family's caravan."
"ah?"
Liu Zheng was immediately embarrassed and drank quickly.
Zheng Yueru chuckled: "Brother Liu, don't blame me for the joke! In fact, it's Miss Manqing who is planning the perfume for us in Liangzhou!"
When Liu Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up.
It seems that Zheng Yueru is indeed a business wizard. She also knew that this perfume would be a major source of income for the county magistrate and the Zheng family in the future. The profits from monopoly luxury goods were simply unimaginable. Therefore, the perfume must become an instant hit. Under Liu Zheng's widely publicized teachings, Zheng Yueru already had a basic strategy.
"Liangzhou is so rich and noble, this is doable!"
Liu Zheng nodded.
Zheng Yueru sighed softly: "It's not because of Brother Liu that the song "Questions and Answers of Fishermen and Woodcutter" that day shocked Yinzhou and became famous far and wide. There was a nobleman in Liangzhou, and he asked Yueru to invite Man Qing to play..."
At this point, she glanced at Liu Zheng again, and saw that he didn't change his expression. She sighed softly in her heart. She remembered that the day Man Qing left, she stayed up all night, standing in front of the window, looking at the county magistrate's mansion in the distance, her eyes were filled with sadness. Clear tears gurgled.
Who knows that the goddess is interested, but King Xiang is ruthless...
I originally thought Liu Zheng would blame himself.
Who would have thought that Liu Zheng chuckled: "This is a good thing. People like her shouldn't stay in Yinzhou forever."
Zheng Yueru rolled her eyes at Liu Zheng and continued: "Brother Liu doesn't know something. Once a woman is like a flower house, she will be a woman in the world of mortals for the rest of her life... How can Man Qing change her fate if she goes to Liangzhou?"
Liu Zheng nodded.
There is nothing that can be done about it, but at least there are still many opportunities in Liangzhou, and life will be much richer than here in Yinzhou.
"So, how is it laid out?"
Liu Zheng was very interested.
Zheng Yueru laughed and said: "Brother Liu was also the number one dude in Liangzhou back then, but he didn't know about the Liangzhou Oiran Association?"
A flash of light flashed in his mind, and Liu Zheng slapped his forehead hard again.
He remembered.
This so-called oiran meeting is a grand gathering held every year after the Spring Festival and on the eve of the Lantern Festival in the Flower House area of Liangzhou. It is better to say it is a grand gathering than a competition. Every year, every flower house will cultivate beauties and courtesans to participate in this selection. Playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, graceful dancing, it is really like a hundred flowers blooming, vying for beauty.
In fact, in later generations, this was a beauty contest.
At this time, young men and rich men from all walks of life also flocked to support their favorite oiran.
The top oiran will not only receive huge benefits, but may even marry into a wealthy family.
The most important thing is fame!
And the fame this oiran will bring to the flower house behind him!
Liu Zheng couldn't help but sneer, who said ancient people couldn't do advertising? Isn't this what it is?
"Miss Manqing, are you going to attend the oiran party?"
Liu Zheng asked.
She is indeed suitable for such a grand event. Not only is she as beautiful as a fairy, but she also has excellent piano skills and a great temperament.
Zheng Yueru smiled and nodded: "And in the name of our Fengming Tower, is Brother Liu satisfied?"
Liu Zheng patted his thigh: "Satisfied, so satisfied!"
Is there any more awesome advertisement than this?
By then, the entire Liangzhou, more than 30 states and counties, so many flower houses, so many oirans, so many young men, rich people, and fans will flock to it.
How can such an advertisement not please people?
If Shen Manqing really wins, it will not only be an advertisement for Fengming Tower, but also perfume! Is there any better advertisement than this?
Seeing Liu Zheng so happy, Zheng Yueru sighed deeply in her heart.
Poor girl Manqing, she was originally a cold-hearted person who wanted to live in peace in Yinzhou. When she heard about this opportunity, she invited Zheng Yueru to her boudoir.
Shen Manqing asked: "Yueru, who is Mr. Liu?"
Zheng Yueru muttered: "A great talent!"
"Young master, you work day and night, why do you make a profit?"
“For Yinzhou!”
Just two simple answers.
Shen Manqing embarked on the journey without hesitation. For no other reason than to win back some reputation for "Mr. Liu" and make him more money, so that he doesn't have to stare into panda eyes every day and come to Fengming Tower to watch those literati get drunk.
If you have few close friends, who will listen when your string is broken?
Zheng Yueru suddenly felt envious and even began to admire women like Shen Manqing.
"When the oiran party begins, you and I will go to Liangzhou to have a look!"
Liu Zheng didn't know there were so many stories behind it, so he said with a smile before leaving.
Zheng Yueru stood up to see him off.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Zheng came out of Fengming Tower, a man covered in blood rolled down from his horse. When he saw Liu Zheng, he knelt down and shouted: "Master, those, those thieves are too humiliating!"
Liu Zheng was startled and quickly helped the man up and asked what was going on.
