"...Okay."
Li Qiao clicked his tongue, he should be busy compiling a book.
When taking another bath, Zhuang Wen came.
Behind him were Zhuang Quan and the Manor brothers.
Zhuang Quan was carrying a baby dining chair, and Manor was carrying a baby walker.
There are many skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering, and they made these two small items in a few days. Moreover, this is not considered a private job, because no payment was made.
Li Xiaorui liked walkers very much. He stood in the walker with his chubby little body. He walked very fast and walked around the yard, giggling constantly.
Zhuang Wen was very satisfied: "This is good! Brother, how about you open a carpenter shop? With all your wonderful ideas, you will definitely make money."
Li Qiao waved his hand: "I'm busy compiling a book, how about you earn this money?"
"...Forget it, I'd better report it to the Holy One."
Zhuang Wen shook his head.
To be honest, he also wanted to open a shop, like the Royal Dessert Shop and the Royal Cloth Shop, but he was not creative enough. The portable furniture he was making in the Ministry of Works at this time was almost all Li Qiao's idea.
Well, of course, Li Qiao also came up with this baby dining chair and baby walker.
However, these two small items are very practical. His eldest grandson cannot use them now. If they are used, he will definitely arrange them for his eldest grandson.
Therefore, if you open a shop with these two small items, you should be able to make money...
Zhuang Wen asked Li Qiao for his opinion, but Li Qiao couldn't guarantee it. He only knew that there was a market for these two small items in his previous life, but at this time, he really couldn't give Zhuang Wen an answer.
Zhuang Wen saw this and went back to find his boss.
Don't worry about whether it's done or not, just give it to the Holy One first.
Although Zhuang Wenguan'er was young, he could still hand over the zhezi directly to the Holy Master. After he handed over the zhezi, there was no movement for a while.
On the other side, Li's Dessert Shop has launched a new product: dried pork.
The Thousand-mile Preserved Pork bought at Baiweilou that day was very delicious. Tao Zhu ate it for several days. Seeing this, Li Qiao arranged for Pork Preserved Pork to be served.
In fact, Li Qiao wanted to make pork jerky as early as when the Zheng family's pork business was in trouble. But at that time, he wanted to eat pork meatballs more, so he kept pushing the pork jerky.
At this point, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. Brother Zhu loves to eat, so he must arrange it.
Needless to say, the taste of pork breasts is that the Li Family Dessert Shop currently only makes honey-flavored ones, and the daily limit is only twenty kilograms per day.
Under such circumstances, not only did Xin Zhi go to Li Qiao's house to get the goods from Li Qiao, but people from the Seventh Prince's Mansion also came.
"It's true to praise you as the God of Wealth!" Xin Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
"...My God of Wealth?" Li Qiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"No, who can make more money than you?" Xin Zhi also asked with raised eyebrows.
Li Qiao: "..."
Chapter 119 Opening a shop. Are you finally going to win over him?
Li Qiao blinked his eyes, shook his head and said: "Don't other big businessmen earn more than me? What am I? I am a small shop selling some snacks. I look at the crowd, but I don't actually earn much."
"However, who has praised me as the God of Wealth?"
"People in my family are praising you, and several people who have a good relationship with my family also agree that you can make money."
Xin Zhi said with a smile.
"That's it..." Li Qiao smiled, still modest: "I'm just doing it in a small way to make some money for my family. I can't compare with those big businessmen."
"You are too lazy to open a big shop. If you open a big shop, will you earn less than others?" Xin Zhi clicked his tongue.
Li Qiao clicked his tongue: "The shop is not as real as the fields. Just like your family, it makes more than me every year just from the output of the fields."
"No, no, no." Xin Zhi immediately shook his head like a rattle: "My family's fields, those in my hometown and those in Shengjing, combined, are only 10,000 hectares. The output of these fields, converted into silver, can be used by your snack shop , the profit of the duck shop is about the same, but you still have vermicelli! The vermicelli alone has crushed my family’s little profit into crumbs.”
"Ten thousand hectares? It's already a lot!" Li Qiao's focus was on this number.
One hectare is equal to approximately fifty acres, and ten thousand hectares is equal to five hundred thousand acres.
And all of these 500,000 acres are cultivated land.
The cultivated land area of a county in Pingcheng is only 400,000 acres. Now Xin Zhi's family has 500,000 acres of cultivated land, which has exceeded the cultivated land area of Pingcheng City.
"My ancestors were originally big landowners. After the founding of Dasheng, the Supreme Emperor named my grandfather the Marquis of Wu'an and rewarded me with 2,000 hectares of land. In addition to the land purchased one after another over the years, I only managed to collect 10,000 hectares of land. "
Xin Zhi explained.
"That's pretty awesome." Li Qiao couldn't help but click his tongue.
His goal is to become a big landowner. He feels that if his family owns thousands of acres, he will be a big landowner.
But now compared with the Wu'an Hou Mansion, his small goal of one thousand acres can only be regarded as a middle peasant, not even a rich peasant.
"Actually, most of my family's fields are in my hometown. The fields in my hometown are not valuable, but the fields in the capital are valuable. They have been valuable for so long, and I haven't found out any information about them."
Xin Zhi was very embarrassed.
Li Qiao asked him to inquire about the fields, but under normal circumstances, few families would sell their fields, so several days passed without him finding out any information.
"It's okay, it's not urgent." Li Qiao said with a smile: "I have been busy with the shop recently, and I can't spare the energy to farm for a while."
"Okay." After hearing this, Xin Zhi was temporarily relieved.
Li Qiao was right when he said he was busy with the shop.
Now Li Ershan, Li Xia, Li Shun, Li Li, and Li Le are mainly working in the shop. Li He and Li Le are young and weak and cannot do many jobs, so the snacks they make every day are limited.
Now that a pork breast has been added, these people are even busier.
Li Qiao planned to buy another house in the north of the city, and find Yapo to buy a few more people. His pastry shop did not make much money every day, only twenty or thirty taels of silver a day.
However, there are currently only a small number of people, and the number of snacks made every day is limited. If the daily output can be increased like Sanliu Village, the profit can be doubled.
Moreover, duck products are more profitable.
Li Qiao wants to open a duck shop.
During the previous provincial examination, he took Tao Zhu to meet Mr. Zhao Youzhi. At that time, Tao Zhu felt that he, a little brother, should not appear in front of Mr. Zhao.
At that time, he thought, he wanted to put a koi and good luck label on himself. As long as he made enough money, as long as his career was big enough, others would beg him and Tao Zhu to go there. To spread joy and good luck.
However, considering that it was a feudal dynasty at this time, it was difficult to arrange this matter, so he had only been thinking about it in his mind and not taking action.
In addition, he had just become an official and had not yet established himself in the capital, so he was not in a hurry to do anything. He just wanted to let his family adapt to life in Shengjing first.
Now, promotion is expected.
Moreover, people who are close to Xin Zhi already think that he is the God of Wealth.
If this is the case, then he will open a bigger snack shop and set up a duck shop. He has to show the world his ability to make money.
Let Sheng Hong take a look too.
So far, Sheng Hong has not given any favors to the British government. It has been so long since Sheng Hong has not given any favors. Sheng Hong probably does not intend to give any.
Since you don't intend to give it, you are completely on his side.
In this case, he had to show Sheng Hong his abilities.
Li Qiao was also a resolute person. When it came to buying a house, he and Tao Zhu looked at it for three days and then bought a three-in yard.
I also bought a shop facing the street. It was bigger than a dim sum shop and almost as big as Han’s Braised Restaurant. It had two floors and a yard at the back.
If you have a yard shop, you have to buy people.
This time, Han Ning was asked to find a few more people in Yazi. After all, everyone in Yazi had different manpower.
After a few days, he and Tao Zhu bought sixteen more people.
Two are working as nurses, two are working in the pastry shop, and twelve are preparing to make duck products.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were not very confident about the newly purchased manpower, so Li Dashan had to keep an eye on the duck shop, and Li Dashan was responsible for the most critical seasoning.
Tao Zhu must also keep an eye on it. There are several vegetable markets in Shengjing City. With his current manpower, he can only cook dozens of ducks every day, so there is no need to worry about insufficient supply for the time being.
But when it comes to purchasing, he will definitely have to keep an eye on it for a while.
As a result, Tao Zhu was busier than Li Qiao during the day.
Li Qiao already has an idea for compiling a book. First, there will be one on water conservancy, then one on various natural disasters, then one on basic agricultural knowledge about crop cultivation, and finally one on law and judicial cases. .
Although Sheng Hong's current policy topic does not involve judging cases, Li Qiao still came up with a book on this subject.
What most arouses public outrage?
In Li Qiao's view, the most direct and effective thing is unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases.
Therefore, all the scholars in the world, these official reserves, must understand the law of Dasheng. Moreover, he must not only understand the law, but also abide by it. He must emphasize the consequences of officials breaking the law.
water conservancy.
Disaster prevention and control.
These two reference books can enable these official reserves to lead the people through natural disasters. Even if it can't be withstood, as long as the people's situation is better than before when the disaster happened, then 80% of the time it won't arouse public anger.
agriculture.
This reference book can let the officials and reserve personnel in Dasheng know that farming is not easy and they should not go to Huohonong people.
Torah.
This reference book can let these scholars know that the law is a sword. If they use this sword to kill innocent people when they become officials in the future, one day this sword will fall on themselves.
If a local magistrate masters these four aspects of knowledge, he can almost become a good official.
After Li Qiao listed these four ideas, he selected people in the Hanlin Academy. In addition to Xin Zhi, he also selected three editors.
Those who can directly become editors are usually the second or third best. If he was promoted from Shujishi or other positions in the Hanlin Academy, he would definitely be extremely knowledgeable.
Moreover, the editor was one level lower than him, a seventh-grade official, one level above him, so he had no burden at all in arousing him.
There were four books in total. Li Qiao listed the general outline and key points of each book, and then asked four assistants to collect relevant information.
