Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 29
The first day of the eleventh lunar month in the 46th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty.Zhang Zongxian held the first monthly meeting of his industries.

The venue for the meeting was Lechang Fort, which had been renamed Changsheng Fort.The mansion that originally belonged to Huang Shilang has now been converted into a college.The construction of new residences with underfloor heating, bathrooms and flush toilets has begun in the fort.

Zhang Zongxian decided to live in Changsheng Fort from now on.Just go back to the county every ten days or so to deal with official business. After all, the most important thing now is to educate the disciples.

After everyone arrived, Zhang Zongxian first spoke to set the tone for today's meeting.

"I won't pay attention to official politeness today. You will treat me as your boss today. This is the first time we have a monthly meeting, and we will hold such meetings every month in the future.

The purpose is very simple to let everyone summarize the performance in the past month and the difficulties encountered in the operation. Everyone has to speak.

Remember to listen carefully when others are speaking and not to interrupt.You can speak only after others have finished speaking.When speaking, first talk about the business situation of the previous month, and you must have accurate figures.Then talk about the next step plan.I'll comment when I'm done.

Let’s start with the horse market. The stable operation of the horse market is the source of our cash flow.Hu Biao, you speak first. "

After clicking on Hu Biao, Hu Biao twisted for a long time before standing up.

"The county lord can't speak! I don't know what to say?"

"Just tell me how much you earned last month? How much did you spend? How many horse teams are currently on the grassland? What is the daily turnover of the horse market? How much do you plan to earn next month? Are there any difficulties now?"

“县尊马市这面现在有三十支队伍在草原上，基本上一个月能来回两到三趟，上个月共卖出二锅头2100斤，换回来折成现银挣了10500两。有两个大商队卖了600斤给的是现银6000两。刨除进价挣了3000两。天乳卖出去200斤挣了4000两。库房里还存放了万斤羊毛。

The inn and restaurant in the horse market collected a total of 860 taels and made a net profit of 560 taels. Because the current caravans like to rest and purchase goods in our horse market, they still want to build another inn.However, winter is coming soon, and the caravan will not go to the grassland. They will not be able to enter the grassland until March next year.If I run again this month, I will not enter the grassland. "

"You! You can't just rest like this. Think about how many cattle and sheep are frozen to death on the grassland every year? There are shortages on the grassland in winter. It would be a great benefit if you can continue to trade."

"Xianzun, but the cart can't pull things under the snow! The horses can't hold much stuff. The cattle and sheep couldn't make it back, and they froze to death on the road. The pastures of the grassland tribes in winter are relatively secret, and I don't know about it. !"

"I'll draw you a means of transportation called a sled after it's done. When it snows, you can make it to see if it works. Then send someone to drive the sled to the grassland to try. Don't be afraid of losses. Try to make up for the losses in front of opening up business routes."

"Young one understands, I'll let people hurry up and finish this trip first. I see that the county lord has brought back a lot of carriages from Huang's house, can I lend them to the horse market first, so that they can take more things to the grassland. "

I can only give you half of it, but it is not a loan or a sale to you. You can discuss it with Ding Bo.I also contacted the carpenter to change the carriage into a four-wheeled cart, and pulled more goods.In the future, I want to deepen the relationship with the tribes on the grassland, and I can sell daily necessities in iron pots.Orphans who cannot survive on the grassland can also be brought back.The wool continues to be kept, and it is said to the outsiders that it will be used as a carpet.

"Small and easy, the story is over."

"When the horse market is over, then the wine shop will continue to say, Lao Liangtou, you say." Hearing that he was called, Lao Liangtou stood up quickly, took out the data written for her by her daughter Su'e in his arms, and began to read it.

“县尊酒坊上月产二锅头5000斤，卖了2700斤。天乳产了1000斤卖了200斤。买粮食花了150两剩下的开销200两挣了17500两”讲到这个数字的时候老梁头舌头都在打颤，老梁头怎么也没有想到自己能挣这么多钱？这才一个多月啊！县尊真是财神转世。老梁头深吸了几口气继续说道

"The old-age wine that the county lord asked Xiaomin to blend is still trying to find some clues, and even the small ones have to rest here. The weather is too cold to make this wine. It will only be ready in the spring of next year."

"Well, there is a newly built greenhouse in this castle. You can go and have a look after it is completed. If it is not possible, the winemaking workshop will be built into a greenhouse next year. You can study it carefully to see if it can be done."

"It's the county lord. Xiaomin is finished."

"Su'e, continue to talk" Su'e has been studying late every day recently. In order to figure out how the grain store bank works, she spends her time outside to show her face every day, and she is often gossiped by people.After the opening of the Taiping, the rumors became more and more popular.I cried several times in front of Zhang Zongxian, and it wasn't until Zhang Zongxian hit a few shrews that this unhealthy trend was stopped.

“县尊粮栈现有粮食35000石，目前正在以一石一两银子的价格收粮。在城里的铺面以一两一钱银子卖粮。钱庄现有白银5万两目前只放贷给了柳家工坊3000两银子。已经订购了耕犁2000件明年开春前交货，买了耕牛600头。准备在开春就贷给百姓。”

Well, very good, the signing of the unified sales and unified purchase agreement with the common people should be done together with the lending of agricultural tools and cattle to the common people, and we should make good use of it during the winter slack.Call those Lizhengs to the county for training, and give them a clear account of the loan split, and train them as if they were employees.

In winter, if the people want to borrow food, they must lend it.Those with land can be mortgaged, and those without land can be arranged to work.In short, don't be afraid that if you borrow it out, you won't be able to get it back.It is necessary to figure out the general ledger and occasionally a few that cannot be repaid will not affect the overall situation.

There are a few of you who are also listening, all accounts receivable and payment will go to the bank in the future.Usually, the silver earned every day must be sent to the bank for storage.Withdrawals are made according to the established procedures.

You have to recognize the bank notes issued by the bank.In the future, wages will also be paid from the bank, and an account will be opened for each clerk, and the wages will be sent directly to the account, and they will go to the bank to withdraw money by themselves.

At present, all of you are making good profits, and we will pay dividends once before the first month.Starting from next year, several of your supervisors will pay salaries.The salary standard will be sent to you soon, and the basic salary and bonus amount from ordinary employees to shopkeepers are also written on it.

In the future, we will not only do business in this small Qingjian County, we must look to the Ming Dynasty, look outside the Great Wall, and look thousands of miles away.We need to train more assistants, and we will have to rely on them to open stores in other places in the future.

You usually think more about how to do this business, look at the numbers more, and talk more with the people below.

Today's meeting will end here, and I will take everyone to eat a copper pot mutton in a while. It is just right to eat this mutton when the weather is cold
When eating hot-boiled mutton, Zhang Zongxian called all his apprentices to his side, and together with Hu Biao and the others, each had a hot-pot, and the other disciples shared a hot-pot with five.

After everyone dispersed after eating, Zhang Zongxian called Ding Bo to the study alone, and the two began to count the recent gains.

At present, including the seized silver, there are a total of 23 taels.All the captured grain was given to the grain store, which was equivalent to 5000 taels of silver, but the 2 shi of the grain was to make up for the deficit in previous years.The remaining shops and mansions can also be converted into ten thousand taels.And the more than [-] mu of land is the most valuable.

Hearing these numbers, Zhang Zongxian almost laughed out loud.It has only been less than three months since time travel, and I have a family property of 50 taels of silver. In the previous life, this silver was worth 5000 million in money.It's better to be an official!Thinking about buying a few more concubines!It's a pity that when I think of buying a concubine, I think of Miss Susu.How about asking how much is the Yangzhou skinny horse?If it is not expensive, how many can I buy?
Fall!Zhang Zongxian How long has it been since you have been corrupted by the evil feudal society?Have you forgotten your great cause of saving the people?
He secretly scolded himself a few words, thinking that money should not be spent like this, the money must become his own strength, otherwise it will become someone else's sooner or later.Isn't that what Huang Shilang is like!
After thinking for a while, Zhang Zongxian decided to spend the money on education and the army,

Since there was no balance in the Yamen, Zhang Zongxian paid in advance for the establishment of the new army.The new army only spent 1 taels on equipment.Coupled with the recently recruited people, the monthly military salary will be reduced by 3000 taels.Now that the yamen has a commercial tax, half of the new army's military salary and equipment expenses will be reimbursed by the Qingjian county yamen, and Zhang Zongxian will pay the other half personally.Personal accounts are also opened for soldiers, and they are all transferred to the bank account.

Now the new army has more than 700 people.Still follow the original method to select officers and accept them as disciples.Then use the slack time to conduct group training for the young and strong in the county.In this way, after several years of training, there will be a large number of reserve soldiers.And during the training period, you only need to take care of the food, although the cost is not small.But when it is necessary to expand the army, these trained young men can be expanded to the strength of a division as soon as they are mobilized.Also stock up on weapons in advance.You can also train with some subsidies.

In terms of education, a college has been established in Changshengbao, so it is better to openly recruit students.It can also be mixed with the achievements of an enlightened place.A simple test is administered to all boys over the age of eight throughout the county.Just use the content of the kindergarten admissions examination in the previous life to select smart and reliable children as disciples.It is also to reserve talents for the future.

The county government has to cooperate with recruiting students in the whole county under the pretext of training candidates.As long as he is admitted to the academy, he is regarded as Zhang Zongxian's disciple, and he will live in the academy from now on, taking care of food and lodging.Study well and get a scholarship.

That's right, let's do it, we have to ask Qian Dianshi to come over.By the way, clearly explain the expenses of the new army and the payment of government salaries.

After thinking it over clearly, he told Ding Bo to deposit all the cash in the bank, and he had to open a separate account for settlement.This money can only be drawn by him and Ding Bo.Those fields will continue to be rented by the original tenants, and the land rent will be [-]% less than the original one, which is [-] to [-] cents.After the explanation, let Li Jiasan inform Qian Dianshi to come to Changsheng Castle tomorrow to explain something to him.
