The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 61
A day later, Ergou came back with a man.

The two people's names are Zhang Youcai and Zhang Degui, and they both belong to the same village.

It's just that Runtu has less dealings with them.

One of them was more restrained.

Zhang Ergou saw that the business of the pharmacy was much better than before, and he was a little puzzled, why there were more people in just two days.

It only took two days for Runtu to do this, he felt a little guilty, the business was not doing well.

Gui Laoqi also called two other people, Wang Xiaofa and A Qiang.

Plus Maotou and Zhang Ergou.There are more people in the pharmacy, there are six people.

Let's meet and get to know each other.

Runtu: "Is everyone literate?"

They shook their heads.

Except for Zhang Ergou and Zhang Youcai who knew some words, the others were all illiterate.

If you want to do business, you can't read and write, you need to be able to do arithmetic.

Otherwise, I can only be a small worker, and it is difficult to be alone.

Ergou was a little curious, why Runtu called so many people.

If you call yourself two, it may be just right.

Now that there are three more, the people in the pharmacy must be redundant.Maybe they still have nothing to do and get paid for nothing.

Because Zhang Ergou dealt with the previous two people alone, and he could handle it, but sometimes he was a little busy.

Although he was a bit puzzled, it was Runtu's arrangement, so he didn't ask.

The time for the township examination will not be until August next year. It will take a whole year for Runtu to start a business and earn a little more first.

Runtu: "From today onwards, you all need to know how to read and write, and you must also know simple arithmetic. I will teach you."

For Runtu, he has a hundred times more time in space to practice and study, and the time in reality is not so important.

These few people must be properly cultivated and cultivated.

It's hard to say who Gui Lao Qi called over.

But the people that Ergou brought over were all from the same village, and they were about the same age as him. They looked like fifteen or sixteen years old, so they could be cultivated.

The three of Gui Laoqi are basically in their twenties.

People these days generally have a short lifespan, sixty is considered a long lifespan, the younger the better.

Those with better family backgrounds have a relatively long life span, eat well and wear well, do not need to work, and have nourishing medicine.

Maotou: "Boss, do you have to be literate? I can't even write my own name."

Runtu: "If you want to have a future, you must be literate. If you don't want to learn, you can earn a little money as a handyman. Your wages are two taels of silver per month. From today onwards, everyone must be literate."

At least know some of the most commonly used words.

The trouble of illiterate comparison.

Runtu thought for a while, why don't we just open a new school?
At the county magistrate's banquet two days ago, Mr. Shen asked the county magistrate to build a new school, which required a lot of money.

It costs several hundred taels, or even more, to build a school, as well as money for teachers and various expenses.

The cost can be controlled by using only wood instead of cement.

It is more convenient to lay the foundation or something.

Space ability to build a house is faster than an excavator.

But no matter what, at least thousands of taels must be prepared.

I currently only have more than 200 silver coins in my hand.

Still have to get more money.

The pharmacy only sells two kinds of medicinal materials, and has a special price, no bargaining, in fact, it is enough to arrange two people.

Others basically have nothing to do.

For half a month, Runtu taught them how to read.

There are a few who are very hardworking, and a few who are complaining.

But with wages, everyone is studying hard.

If you don't study, there are not many things in the pharmacy.

After half a month, most of them can recognize a few words.

On this day, Runtu called everyone over and said: "The Kuaiji alone is still a little short. The business must expand to the whole country, and at least cover the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Youcai, Xiaofa, Maotou, Aqiang The four of you go out for a trip. If you are rich, you go to Hangzhou, Aqiang, you go to Jinhua, Maotou, you go to Shaoxing, Xiaofa, you go to Jiaxing. We will sell our two medicines. As long as you can get an order , for each pack, you can get an extra penny.”

Ten percent commission is very high.

After all, this medicine is very good, and those pharmacies in other places will be willing to buy it as long as they have a little knowledge.

That would be a long-term business.

The basic salary is still there, and over time, their wages will naturally increase.

"Your travel expenses are all two taels of silver."

As for Zhang Degui and Ergou, just keep watching the shop.

He had observed these people, Zhang Degui's temperament was too restrained, it was not suitable to go out, and it would be more effective to stay in the shop.

Now that I don't have a car, it's very inconvenient.

If there is a high-speed rail, I can go to discuss business by myself.

Going out for a trip, even in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, would probably take less than half a month.

Runtu doesn't have that much time.

There was a penny commission for a pack of medicine, and the eyes of several people lit up.

On the contrary, the two people who remained were a little envious.

They are people from the pharmacy, and they all know how their own medicine works, so they must not worry about buyers.

Runtu said again: "Ergou, you and Degui are in charge of Kuaiji's business, and it's the same when you go out to talk, and you get an extra penny for a pack. Listen carefully, not only pharmacies, but also some other commercial firms. Selling, there will always be someone who wants it.”

Let them do sales, sales are more passionate, and they can really see the money, just staying in the store is useless.

The current shop can only have one person watching it.

One of Ergou and Degui watched, while the other went out for a run, taking turns.

All four of them gave two taels of silver, and it was up to each of them to show their talents as to how far they could do it.

The time to learn characters is a bit short.

Maybe everyone still only knows a hundred or so words.

The four started off.

Or walk, or ox-drawn carriage.

The area Maotou is in charge of is in Shaoxing, and he is the closest.

Arrived in Shaoxing that day.

After staying for one night, I went out for a stroll, specifically to see the locations of those pharmacies.

Saw several.

Basically, there are pharmacies in every city. After all, everyone will be born, old, sick and die.Being a doctor is a respectable profession that has been passed down for thousands of years.

I saw a medical center called Tailai Medical Center.

Maotou walked in.

Immediately, someone came over to say hello, "It's better to take medicine to cure the disease."

"It's not treating a disease or grabbing medicine, it's here to sell medicine."

"Selling medicine? Are you here to laugh? Come to the medical hall to sell medicine. We have no shortage of medicinal materials here."

Being rejected, Maotou was a little anxious: "Look, my medicinal material is very effective. This is called Zhixue San, which can stop bleeding quickly and treat knife wounds. This package is called Radix Banlangen, which can clear away heat and detoxify, and cool blood. , the effect of relieving sore throat. It is mainly used to treat exogenous fever, sore throat, and spots caused by warm poison."
