Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"I said, what are you thinking, an old man? You are a very clever person on weekdays, why didn't you understand! Do you really not understand what Liu Sanniang said, or are you pretending not to understand?"

Lao Fang was stunned, what's the matter, didn't he just want to watch his son get married and start a business before thinking about his own affairs, what other meanings are there?

Zhang Nuo is really convinced by this old man. He usually deals with affairs inside and outside the house, which is called a clever and neat man, but when it comes to himself, he is confused. Maybe this is also the reason. It's just that the authorities are confused by the bystanders.

Zhang Nuo sighed deeply, looked at Lao Fang's appearance of Ai Ai, and said seriously,

"Old Fang, think about it, why did Liu Sanniang tell you about the child's family? Who are you in their family? Isn't this special mother just letting you be the head of the family, and asking you to talk to Da Zhuang Er Zhuang?" Well! You said that you are usually very clever, why is your brain not working well at this time!"

Lao Fang was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, he looked like he was going to jump up, looked at Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo waved his hand angrily, seeing this, Lao Fang turned around and ran all the way to the small house where Liu Sanniang lived. The house rushed past.

Chapter 153

After the new year, the Zhang Mansion fell into a busy state again after a few days of silence.

The old workshops in Chang'an City will naturally start work. Whether it is students and scholars waiting to buy books, or ordinary people waiting to buy wine, the inside and outside of this place are not the same.

At the same time, the new workshop in Heifengzhai outside the city has transferred a group of people from the old workshop to provide technical guidance, and act as veterans to guide newcomers, which also takes time.

As some old employees moved from the city to outside the city, and received training from Zhang Nuo, they gradually got used to the new equipment, and they were divided. Most of them stayed in the new workshop to guide the employees, and a small number of them were going back to the city. .

At that time, they will serve as the master operators of the new equipment and train the old people.

However, due to the adoption of new equipment in the wine shop and book printing and paper making workshop, the demand for personnel has not increased so much as the output has increased.

At present, after all the strong labor force of these hundreds of families in Zhuangzi have been put into it, they are still doing well.

The biggest change here is that due to the update of equipment, the alcohol purification that originally required secondary distillation has been canceled by Zhang Nuo.

The new type of brewing equipment does not require secondary distillation at all, and can produce liquor with a degree of more than [-] degrees in just one pass, and the rest is just flavoring.

And for the fragrance at this time, because of the existence of the system, there is no need to buy all kinds of spices as before. There are a lot of food-grade flavors that will be used for fragrance in the system that will be used in the future.

Not only the smell and taste are better than the current ones, but also more convenient to store.

At the same time, Zhang Nuo also expanded the product line again, from [-]% low-alcohol wine to [-]% all the way, it is nothing more than the amount of water mixed, it is extremely simple.

And in this way, if the workshop is running at full capacity, it will really be able to trade in the whole country by then!

The same is true for paper-making workshops and book-printing workshops, especially for paper-making workshops. No matter how much you make, you can print books and sell them directly. Rice paper, but the advantage is that it is cheap and has a large quantity.

Everyone knows that the good handmade rice paper sold in those shops is good, but who can afford it all the time.

The paper sold by Zhang Nuo Bookstore is different. Compared with those rice papers that are painful to write on, the paper here is extremely cheap.

He earned five times the profit for a single knife, and it was more than half cheaper than others. If Lao Zhao hadn't stopped him at the beginning, he would have planned to dump it at a low price.

His original idea was to use price wars to kill competitors, and then monopolize the paper business by himself, but after Lao Zhao persuaded him, he realized that this business cannot be monopolized at all.

Because even if his output increased tenfold, it was still not enough to sell, and the government's procurement alone basically wiped out half of his shipments.

The official government is different from the imperial palace. The rice paper used by the nobles in the imperial palace is naturally a high-quality tribute. Anyway, there are only a few people in the palace who can write on paper.

But the government is different. Official documents and archives all need paper, which is a huge amount!

Originally, these businesses had already been ordered by the small officials in charge of procurement in the government. Which one got a share, which one paid a lot, and it hadn't changed for many years.

But when a freak like Zhang Nuo came out, he didn't go to the government at all, and Guangzi Shushengji had already sold out, not to mention there were merchants who bought goods and sold them out.

Originally, the government thought about you, kid. Since you don’t miss us, then we don’t need to miss you. Anyway, you don’t have to pay for it yourself, and you can buy expensive things in the old place, but they can also mix some food and loose money.

The paper of Zhang's Bookstore is cheaper, and the court also saves money, but their small income is gone, so they keep pretending not to know.

But it’s hard to die, Zhang’s bookstore also has a shareholder who took a small share of the "Wu De Law" publishing right, who is the current emperor. Seeing that the memorials sent up have always been high-priced rice paper, he casually asked why Zhang was not used. paper from the bookstore.

He deserved the misfortune of the Ministry of Industry official. He didn’t actually get much money himself, but he was indeed responsible for the undead thing, so he bit the bullet and replied in the court room. The quality difference between the two is too big, but The price is almost the same, so I will continue to use this.

Li Shimin was angry at the time, your uncle, he doesn't know what price other places sell, but as a shareholder of Zhang Shishu, can he not know what price the paper is sold here?

The price difference is doubled, is it still called the difference?

So this poor Ministry of Industry official was dismissed on the spot. If it wasn't for someone's pleading, and it was later found out that the amount involved was not large, otherwise it is estimated that the head would not be saved.

It was also the first time for the ministers in the court to see Li Shimin's horror. The prices of various paper books in Zhang's Bookstore came out of their mouths, and even the prices of several mainstream papers in the market came out casually.

Such a shrewd emperor, which courtier is not worried?For this reason, even the atmosphere of the court has become more rigorous, which is a surprise to Li Shimin.

Now that His Majesty knows that this kind of paper is easy to use and cheap, the Ministry of Industry will naturally have to come to buy it. As a result, it is the first time that the Ministry of Industry has come across such soft and hard paper.

This is also the first time for Lao Zhao to be so stubborn. The purchase is OK, the money is settled on the spot, and the price is exactly the same as the market. If you like it, you can buy it.

This made the officials who led the team dumbfounded. What kind of identity and background do you come from to open a shop? You are so arrogant.

Don't even talk about commission rebates, and don't even prepare some food?

But Lao Zhao just insisted on these conditions. Anyway, his family has no worries about selling things. If it weren't for the purchase restriction, he could sell as much as he produced on the same day. Nowadays, there are still many caravans from other places waiting to buy from him.

In the end, the Ministry of Industry officials had no choice but to hold their noses and agreed to all the conditions. Turning around, Old Zhao came out with a jar of good wine produced by himself, as if he was not the same person with the stinky face just now.

This is Zhang Nuo's confession. He argues with reason beforehand and calms people's hearts afterwards. In the final analysis, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary when doing business.

But after the fact, you have to make good friends. The so-called King of Hades is better than a little devil, so long-term business needs to be well managed, although Zhang's Bookstore is not worried about sales for the time being.

But people without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. It will be too late to ask for help when the production volume is up. It is better to set the tone now and send it directly to the government in the future. How comfortable it is.

After hearing this, Lao Zhao was astonished. It is rare for someone to explain the way of doing business so clearly. Lao Zhao listened to Zhang Nuo's words as wise words, so he made such a play.
