Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 94 Sun Xiangfu's Purpose
Every program of the Wangjianglou Spring Festival Gala is wonderful, especially the aria compilations performed by many actors in The Legend of the White Snake, which almost took everyone to briefly watch the Legend of the White Snake again.

When there was only the last point left on the hourglass recording the time, Sun Xiangfu led all the actors in front of and behind the stage to the stage. There were more than 500 people, and he held a countdown ceremony with everyone. In the cheers of people, the arrival of the first year of Zhenguan was welcomed, and since then, it has told the people of this era what the New Year is.

After the countdown ceremony, the performance of the party was not over. The building will be open all night, but there will no longer be such a grand performance as before. Sun Xiangfu went to the stage and told the guests that there were some musical instruments playing behind them. The guests could choose to order a hot pot, serve some side dishes, listen to music, have a late-night snack, or choose to go upstairs to the guest room to rest, of course, they could also choose to leave. Li Shimin has ordered the left and right guards to light the lights in the city, and the curfew for tonight has been lifted.

Some people chose to go back to rest, and more chose to drink, eat hot pot, chat and listen to music in Wangjiang Tower. Anyway, they are excited and don't feel sleepy now.

Sun Xiangfu, who was tired like a dog, fell asleep on his kang and fell asleep immediately. He could finally sleep in this world with peace of mind. With so many unforgettable moments, he believed that even if he If Wang Lin was given a chance to kill himself, he would hesitate, and most likely he would not kill him. They might be reluctant to let these strange things disappear in the Tang Dynasty like a passing cloud. After analyzing their psychology, Sun Xiangfu The decision to make it all.

The first step is to reverse their thoughts of wanting to kill themselves, and I don't know if they succeed.The next second step is to make himself stronger and have the ability to fight back. This may take one to two years. Starting from the first year of Zhenguan, he will work hard for this.

On the first day of the new year, Chang'an seemed a little deserted, because many dignitaries just fell asleep at dawn, and a light snow fell in the sky at noon, which made Sun Xiangfu, who had just woken up, feel a lot better.

"Uncle De, gather the people in the mansion together, and after dinner, we will give everyone a New Year's gift of two bucks. There are all of them."

"Young master, everyone in the mansion is very rich. With your announcement, the counting house has disappeared in the thousands."

When Uncle De said this, Sun Xiangfu remembered that there are quite a lot of people in his mansion. In addition to more than 500 restaurant waiters and more than 200 servants, there is also a team of nearly 500 artists. In addition, there are Zhang Quan, Ma Lin, brothers Wang Fu and Wang Gui led more than 200 craftsmen, and there were also dozens of guards in the big house. Now, except for the few yards where the main house lives in the backyard, almost all the houses in the front yard and middle yard of the Sun Mansion They all set up the Datong Paved Kang, and it was always crowded with people in the morning, evening and meal time.

"Let's send it! Our house is not short of two or three thousand guan! In addition, let Jun buy a team of guards, and then send [-] guan to Old Man Yang's shipbuilding workshop, and tell him that after the beginning of spring, you must see the first one. New boat launched."

"Okay! After spending this money, if you want to use the money, you can only use the young lady's dowry." Uncle De shrugged helplessly.

Everyone has seen Wangjianglou's daily progress and fighting for money, but they haven't seen that when Sun Xiangfu burns money, he is not omnipotent after time travel, so what he wants needs money to be researched.

Every dish in Wangjiang Tower is made by the chefs who spend a lot of ingredients. On the stage, every delicate design is made by hundreds of craftsmen. I don’t know how many materials were wasted. Now I am happy The village recruited another [-] guards. It is said that they will be given at least Ouchi guard-level training and more sophisticated equipment than Ouchi guards. Each of these is not a small expense, and Sun Xiangfu can only barely support it with his current income.

"Well, the money issue has to be resolved, and it's time for Wangjiang Tower to distribute dividends to shareholders for the first time. Let's call a few shareholders to take stock in the afternoon!"

After all, Sun Xiangfu rushed to the dining room, which is very lively now. In addition to the people on duty in the restaurant who will gather in the restaurant's staff cafeteria for meals, the children who are studying in the Sun's residence, the entertainers studying, the guards stationed and Craftsmen, all of them will eat here, so most people can’t grab a seat at the table, and those who come late will hold a bowl bigger than their head, with piles of high-quality dishes, casually Find a threshold, a corner, sit down and eat.

Sun Xiangfu usually eats in the master's room in the backyard, but he missed breakfast today. Yu Xiuer went to the restaurant after breakfast, so he could only come to the kitchen to have a meal with the servants and craftsmen who only eat twice a day have eaten.

"Village chief, the house is too small and there are too many people living in it. Shouldn't it be time to think of a way?" Sun Xiangfu took a few bites when he saw Shi Dalang slipping the front of his official uniform with one hand and holding a big bag with the other. Bowl, squeezed towards Sun Xiangfu and said.

"Well, when the restaurant was built before, the [-] mu of land approved by His Majesty has not been used up. Let's take a part of the profit of the restaurant to build a dormitory for the employees! After the building is completed, our house should also be remodeled." Sun After Xiangfu answered, he remembered that Shi Bao should have been with Ma Zhou on the reservoir construction site. Why did he come home today, so he asked again, "How is the reservoir? How did you come back?"

Shi Dalang took a mouthful of delicious fish soup and rice, and then said intoxicated, "The food at home is still delicious. Didn't I report this to you, the dams of the three large reservoirs have been built, those The Turkic captives were broken up by Ma Zhou into teams of thousands of people, and the officers of the left guard pressed them to build various small reservoirs. His Majesty’s order arrived at the construction site yesterday. Ma Zhou has become an official. I don’t understand the grades , but his clothes should look similar to yours, and now he is temporarily in charge of inspecting the construction of all reservoirs, and our fisheries department will only be responsible for the breeding of reservoir fisheries in the future."

Sun Xiangfu nodded when he heard the words. Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou passed Li Shimin's assessment so quickly, and handed over the management of tens of thousands of Turkic captives to him. Just study cultural lessons at home honestly! At least learn to understand the imperial decree, and when the weather warms up, I will assign Zhang Shengye, Xiong Tingzhong and other officials from the Fisheries Department to your hands to store water and release fish fry It is up to you to take full responsibility for it.”

"Then what about the fishery taxes in the various pools in the city?" Shi Bao was taken aback when he heard that.

"Fucking tax, merchants make so much profit, the imperial court doesn't collect tax, powerful families, even Taoist monks don't collect tax, they just know how to bully farmers, in the future, the tax gate of the Fisheries Department will be abolished directly, raising so many People, I haven't received much money in a year, and it's all the money to cheat ordinary people. Otherwise, I have to use my manpower to do business, and I will go to the palace to explain it later." Sun Xiangfu said so, and Shi Bao also felt that It made sense, so I continued to ask Sun Xiangfu for advice while eating.

After the meal, Sun Xiangfu arrived at Wangjiang Tower very quickly. Not long after, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Dugu Mou, as well as Lawyer Pei and Zhang Sun Chong who had been staying in the guest room of the restaurant all arrived, so everyone Sit down in the meeting room in the office area on the second floor, ready for the annual meeting.

First, Hongmei and Chuntao reported the revenue of the restaurant last year.

As of last night, a total of 38 bills have been received at the Wangjianglou counter, and there are more than 3000 debts that have not been collected, mainly due to the emperor's private room and several shareholders signing accounts.

The expenditure reached 22 guan, mainly used to pay for the food materials provided by Xingfu Village and the shareholders' homes, as well as a small amount of utensils that the restaurant lacked, and of course the kitchen workers, waiters, and entertainers. salary.

In other words, in less than a month, Wangjianglou's net profit was as high as 18 yuan. This figure almost stunned several major shareholders.

In the end, Sun Xiangfu suggested that 1000 yuan from the profit be used to build the staff dormitory building. After all, the restaurant is everyone's property. Although Sun Xiangfu is the largest shareholder, it is not a problem to live in his house all the time. Bubu, that's more than [-] people!

Regarding this, everyone had no objection, and all passed by raising their hands. After that, the remaining money will be divided according to the shares. Sun Xiangfu holds 2% of the shares, and there are basically no accounts that have not been signed. Therefore, he will get [-] Guan .Changsun Chong received [-] guan on behalf of the prince's East Palace, but after deducting the bills and accounts signed by the private room for the imperial use, he could only get more than [-] guan, and Qin Qiong got [-] guan.

The rest of Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Dugu Mou, and Lawyer Pei each received [-] guan. Of course, they all had unpaid bills, so they could only get [-] to [-] guan. In this way, when these people heard this number, they were all staring at each other, and no one was jealous of Sun Xiangfu's bonus of [-] yuan.

Everyone knows how much Sun Xiangfu has paid for this Wangjiang Tower during this period. In addition to the materials used for the construction of the restaurant, he also conceived the rehearsal program, resisted the pressure of the court, and the whole family went to battle to perform on the stage. None of them were easy to complete. On the contrary, they recovered nearly half of the investment in just one month, which is simply too cost-effective.

Therefore, everyone at this shareholder meeting was full of smiles. After hearing that the revenue of Wangjiang Tower reached [-] yuan in just one day yesterday, everyone agreed that the Lantern Festival must be The business was even more prosperous, so, all afternoon, many shareholders tried their best to mobilize the manpower and material resources they could use, and as long as Sun Xiangfu needed it, he would buy everything for him.

"Everyone, we can't just focus on Chang'an. Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Yizhou are all big cities with a population of hundreds of thousands of households. Our next step is to consider opening branches in these big cities."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, everyone's eyes lit up, but Qin Qiong was more clear-headed, and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid those civil servants from aristocratic families will not be able to do it again, and it's where their power is intertwined in the local area. , I’m waiting in Chang’an, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up.”

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard the words. These upstarts, that is, they can stand up in Chang'an, and when they leave the pass, the aristocratic family can make them unable to move an inch by just flipping their palms. For a while, they really don't have much confidence.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Sun Xiangfu knocked on the table and said, "We can't stop doing it because it is difficult, and opening branches in these places will make our restaurant's cuisine more comprehensive, more competitive, and long-term. Look, it is necessary."

In fact, he didn't say Sun Xiangfu's real purpose, and the people sitting here may not understand it. He has only one purpose from the beginning to the end, to enrich the people. An output that will make them rich.

Where did Wangjianglou spend more than 20 yuan?A small part went to Xingfu Village, and the other part went to the hands of low-level farmers. They provided raw materials and ingredients for craftsmen, and even served as offline suppliers of several major industries in Xingfu Village, dividing up these benefits. And where did the money come from?In the hands of the rich in Chang'an City, the poor have rigid needs. Having money will definitely improve their lives, and the rich can earn part of the money back from them. Then, the economy of the entire Datang society will be revitalized.
