This kind of weather is the best for sleeping. Even if you don't sleep, it's not suitable for going out.
But here in Wangyue Tower, people are rubbing shoulders with each other, and it is very lively.
Because today is a new day for vermicelli. After half a year, Wangyuelou finally has vermicelli dishes again.
Wangyuelou had hung a small wooden board at the door three days ago to build momentum for today's vermicelli promotion.
Therefore, whether they are rich traders or ordinary people, they are all here today.
Those with money in their pockets will naturally order the deluxe version of the dishes. The stew contains large slices of meat, and the hot and sour rice noodles also contain mountain delicacies and meat.
Those who have no money in their pockets will eat the ordinary version.
Although there is no meat in the ordinary versions of stewed vegetables and hot and sour noodles, there is enough oil, and there is a layer of oil floating on the soup.
In this kind of windy and rainy weather, eating a steaming bowl of delicious stew, hot and sour noodles, and a corn tortilla will make you sweat and feel comfortable, and more importantly, you can also Eat well and be beautiful!
Therefore, the teahouse opposite Wangyue Tower was rented by Shopkeeper Wang again.
Diners from the two shops came in droves, which made the shopkeepers of the surrounding shops look excited.
But this was something they couldn't envy. The vermicelli was so delicious that even they couldn't help but go to Wangyue Tower to taste it.
Pick up the vermicelli with chopsticks and put it into your mouth. With a slight suction, all the vermicelli goes into your mouth. It's so silky and smooth. It's so addictive.
What's more, the vermicelli is not only silky smooth, but also delicious.
How can one resist this?
…
Although Shopkeeper Wang was very busy today, because he had already rented the teahouse opposite and had enough waiters and cooks at home, there was no trouble even if the customers came one after another.
As for the vendors who would take the goods, he had already made arrangements.
No matter how big or small the merchants are, they will all receive their goods on a first-come, first-served basis.
He specially made a pair of cards for this purpose, using this method to prevent trouble.
Jiang Zhixian is personally keeping an eye on this vermicelli business, and traders from out of town, even big businessmen, don't dare to make trouble with him.
As for whether the big businessman will buy the top pair of cards at a high price, this is beyond his control. He only recognizes the right cards.
After the sweet potato workshops in Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village prepare the vermicelli, they first transport it to the large yard he specially bought in the county town, and then the vendors come to pick up the goods with the right cards.
The whole process is very simple, and there are government officials watching over it, so he doesn't have to spend too much energy.
What he needs to worry about most every day is whether the transportation team he formed can transport the vermicelli prepared the day before from Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village to the county seat on time.
At the beginning of last year, the daily output of vermicelli was small, so either the people from Sanliu Village took the initiative to deliver the vermicelli to Wangyue Tower, or he sent people to Sanliu Village to pull the goods.
It doesn’t cost a lot of manpower anyway.
But later, as the number of vermicelli increased, so did the manpower required, so he set up a special transportation team to transport vermicelli.
This year's vermicelli production has increased dramatically compared to last year, so the transportation team has also expanded a lot, with a full 100 people.
These 100 people were all young and middle-aged people he specially selected. They were enough to transport the vermicelli produced every day in Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village.
In fact, based on the vermicelli output of these two villages, he would be able to hire seventy or eighty people.
However, due to the long distance, we can only deliver once a day. If it is windy, rainy or snowy, the speed will be very slow.
He was afraid that something might happen on the road, so he hired about twenty more people. Problems that could be solved with money were not problems. He would rather spend more money to ensure a daily supply of vermicelli.
Li Qiao sold the vermicelli to him at a price of forty Wen per catty, and he sold the vermicelli to many vendors at a price of forty-two Wen per catty.
Yes, forty-two cents per catty.
Sanliu Village and Zhujiacun can produce about 23,000 kilograms of vermicelli a day. If he earns two cents per kilogram, it will be 46,000 copper plates, or 46 taels of silver.
After deducting the cost of the transportation team and the cost of forty coins, he could earn almost thirty-eight taels of silver a day.
He was very satisfied with this number.
What's more, he didn't sell all the 23,000 kilograms of vermicelli at a price of forty-two cents. He used the 23,000 kilograms of vermicelli that Wangyuelou needed every day. .
If the dry vermicelli becomes a vermicelli dish, he will earn more.
Therefore, now he only relies on vermicelli, and his profit in one day is more than Wangyuelou's profit in several days before.
He is not a greedy person, and he is very satisfied with the current situation of Wangyue Tower.
Therefore, no matter how the vendors from other places raised their prices, he could withstand the temptation. If Li Qiao gave him the vermicelli, if he asked for an exorbitant price but tried hard to put money into his own pocket, it would definitely make the vendors There were complaints.
People in Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village will also be dissatisfied.
After all, the vermicelli was made by people from these two villages who worked hard day and night. He just transported the vermicelli to the county and did no other work. If he earned too much, then the people in these two villages There are definitely opinions.
Therefore, no matter how many tricks the foreign merchants used, he remained motionless.
The price for anyone who comes is forty-two cents per pound.
Everyone who comes must follow the order of first come, first served.
When doing business, you have to take a long-term view.
Shopkeeper Wang’s dry vermicelli sells for forty-two cents per pound, and the county’s sweet potato factory sells vermicelli at the same price.
The sweet potato workshop in the county town is personally monitored by Jiang Zhixian.
He regarded vermicelli as a springboard for his promotion, and he strived to be perfect in all aspects so that he could give a perfect answer to the emperor.
In addition, he planned to present vermicelli as a tribute to the Holy Emperor this year, so he adopted Li Qiao's hygienic standards.
First of all, the starch must be clean, no black spots, debris, etc. are allowed.
Secondly, when workers make vermicelli, their hands must be washed, their nails must be cut frequently, and dirt is not allowed between the nails, and their heads must be wrapped in cotton to prevent hair from falling out.
The mouth must also be covered with a mask to prevent saliva from spitting out when speaking.
And these workers also have to take regular showers.
Anyone who doesn't want to abide by these rules can get out of here.
He will also regularly inspect the prepared vermicelli. If it fails, wages will be deducted.
Under the high pressure of Jiangzhi County, every worker strictly abides by the regulations to avoid being kicked back to his hometown by Jiangzhi County.
This rare job is their turn because of God's blessing. If they don't cherish it, they will be condemned by the whole family when they go home.
For this sweet potato workshop in the county seat, Jiangzhi County selected 15,000 young adults from 170 villages in the county.
It is said to be a workshop, but it is actually five large villages.
There are three thousand people in each village.
These 15,000 people only focus on making vermicelli, and they can make about 300,000 kilograms of vermicelli in one day after working hard. Add in the 23,000 kilograms of vermicelli produced in Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village every day, so it will take 300 days. Only then can we use up this year’s sweet potato starch.
Jiangzhi County is not satisfied with this figure.
How can this be done for three hundred days?
That's one year.
During this year, farmers still have to plant crops.
The annual taxation of grain and money is the most important item for the Ministry of Personnel to evaluate officials. If this item cannot be completed, then he will be lucky not to be demoted, let alone promoted.
However, Jiangzhi County has no other option now.
Based on his current ability, managing five large Zhuangzi with a population of 15,000 people is really beyond his ability.
Fifteen thousand people, the garrison in Fucheng only has this number.
He was not a general and had never led troops to fight. Now he was asked to manage so many people. Even though he had made sufficient preparations before, he was a little confused.
However, difficulties present opportunities.
If everything is calm all the time, how can he demonstrate his talent and intelligence?
The current daily output of the sweet potato workshop in the county is 300,000 catties. After deducting various costs, the profit per catty is similar to that in Sanliu Village. After deducting half of the ingredients of buckwheat, one catty can earn 20 cents. money.
The profit from three hundred thousand catties is six million yuan, which is six thousand taels.
The sweet potato workshop’s net profit per day is six thousand taels!
If divided equally among fifteen thousand workers, each person would receive four hundred coins.
One person earns four hundred coins a day, not four hundred coins a month!
Four hundred coins a day, then twelve taels of silver a month!
Of course, because he hired some juren and scholars to help him manage the workshop, and it also required a lot of manpower to cook and boil water for these workers, so even if these workers brought their own food, there was still a lot of cost.
After deducting these costs, each worker can earn almost three hundred cash per day.
But three hundred coins is a lot, which is nine taels of silver a month!
A farmer earns nine taels of silver a month. Not just one farmer, but many such farmers in every village in the county!
Let alone the past, there has never been such a good thing since the beginning of the world!
If this is not enriching the people, then what is enriching the people?
If this is not enriching the people, then what else can be called enriching the people!
Therefore, even though he is exhausted every day, Jiang Zhixian's ambition has not changed. The Holy Father has always believed that only when the people are prosperous can the country be safe. This is his opportunity.
It was a second chance that he would rarely encounter in his life.
If he didn't catch it this time, he would have to slap himself on the ear every day for the rest of his life, and he would not be able to rest in peace even if he died.
He must give a perfect answer to the Holy Emperor this year!
Moreover, in addition to wanting to give Saint a perfect answer, he also has his own ambitions.
He became an official not just to bring his family back to its former glory, he also wanted to fulfill his own ambitions.
After reading books for so many years, in fact, his philosophy is similar to that of the Holy One. He is not interested in tyrannizing the common people. What he wants to do is to save and enrich the people.
Just thinking about turning an ordinary county town into a wealthy county with a high reputation in Dasheng makes him happy to death.
He wants that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction!
Therefore, no matter how much pressure there is now, he has to bear it, otherwise he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life!
