Chapter 289 Where to Make Money?

Rui'er glanced at her and said, "What else can I do? I heard that Mrs. Mei called her in that day, and asked her to treat the second master better, and to give the second family a son as soon as possible. So yesterday Second Mistress prepared food and drinks in the room, intending to apologize to Second Master and keep him in the room for the night. But Aunt Mo suddenly said that her stomach hurts, and Second Master immediately went to the backyard again. Second Mistress was so angry."

Liuli smiled, thinking about it, the Mei family should not suddenly say this to He Yuhua at this time, this is probably the meaning behind the king of Dingbei, as expected, all parents-in-law are the same in the world, if they can't have a child, it's a daughter-in-law wrong.But Liuli didn't have the slightest sympathy for He Yuhua, she wanted to take advantage of this aspect of King Dingbei.

"Hearing what you said, does Aunt Mo have a real stomachache or a fake stomachache?" she asked.

Rui'er said: "I don't know if it's true or not, but we didn't insert people in the backyard of the second room. But I heard that after the second master passed, Aunt Mo's stomach pain stopped. It's because of this second grandma, so today I'm still letting you go." People went to Aunt Mo's house to vent their anger, but it didn't matter, just found a fault and smashed a few bottles and then came out."

Liuli nodded, and said: "Let people keep an eye on the second room again, and keep a close eye on it. The second grandma will come back to me if there is anything that involves Aunt Mo." Then she picked up the imperial calendar on the case and looked at it, and said: "Today's Twelve, I'm in my twenties after I've been busy for the past few days, you go and find out the whereabouts of the second master in those days."

Rui'er knew that she was going to attack Ruyi, so she nodded and said: "I'll give the order." Then she stopped and said: "There is still something about our backyard here. Bingling talked back and forth After Hanxue took her back, she hasn't taken any action, and hasn't asked her too much. As for Ningshuang, she still seems to be trying to get closer to the general."

Liuli frowned when she heard the latter words, although Qi Yunzhen had never thought of getting close to them, but Ningshuang's stalking was really annoying, and she had to find a way to get rid of her thoughts. good.For a while, she couldn't think of any clever plan, and remembered that Rui'er had mentioned Hanxue just now, so she said: "Hanxue doesn't ask Bingling anything, but she is just observing her. Tell Bingling to be careful and gain her trust as soon as possible."

Then there is nothing else.

When I was just looking at the imperial calendar, Liuli saw a circle drawn on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. This is Mrs. Ye's memorial day, and it is also Qi Yunhao's birthday. At that time, Liuli mentioned this incident by the way.Fan Yun pondered for a moment, then said, "Is grandma going to the grave?"

Liuli nodded: "Naturally. Doesn't the general go to the grave every year?"

Fan Yun paused, had nothing to say, nodded and went to deal with it without mentioning it.

There are many trivial things at the end of the year, and the day passes quickly.In the next afternoon, Ji Xiaoquan and Lai Wu came to the palace with pigs, goats, melons and vegetables in a four-ox cart.Because Liuli knew that Dingbei Prince's Mansion had meals in their own small kitchens except for the first day of junior high school, thinking that there would be many visitors during the first month, and it was necessary to save meals, so she asked Lai Wuduo to bring some meat.There is also a large fish pond dug by myself on Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs, so I also brought a few baskets of fresh fish, river mussels and so on.

Liuli asked Ji Xiaoquan to calculate the wages of the tenant farmers in Zhuangzi, and then gave 20 taels of silver to each of her own servants in Zhuangzi. Lai Wu was in charge, and the quota was 50 taels.

After the calculation, it is natural to ask about the situation in Zhuangzi and the feelings of the five Lai.Holding 50 taels of silver in his hands, Lai Wu grinned from ear to ear, and patted his chest to promise that he would work hard to increase Zhuangzi's income next year.Liuli looked at them with a smile, but he hadn't seen her for half a year. Lai Wuyue saw that Hei was stronger, Feng Chun'er was plump, and she was dressed very neatly.

Liuli asked Rui'er to reward Feng Chun'er with a few feet of cloth, and let them go back.

Ji Xiaoquan was left behind.

Liuli asked him first: "Is there any clue about the Tianzhuang matter?"

Ji Xiaoquan leaned over and said, "I found two places, one is also in the eastern suburbs, 9 to 1% smaller than grandma's current Zhuangzi, the land is good, very sunny, and there are several ready-made houses, the price is 10 yuan Two silver. There is another place in the southern suburb, which is only half the size of the eastern suburb. The orientation and terrain are better than the eastern suburb. Because the southern suburb is close to the official warehouse, it has always been the first choice for grain harvesting, so the price is lower than the eastern suburb. It will be [-] taels more expensive, a total of [-] taels of silver."

"10 million taels?"

Liuli frowned. If she wanted to buy it, of course she could choose a good place to buy it, let alone 10 taels, she couldn't even get 5 taels of silver right now.

"How much does a shop like Laomiao Hutong cost?" she asked.

Ji Xiaoquan thought for a while, and said: "If there is a ready-made store with CDs, three to five thousand taels is enough without any goods. The monthly rent is between 5000 and 400 taels. But in my opinion, it is better to have a disk shop." Buying the whole thing, although the initial investment will be more, but if the location is similar to Laomiao Hutong, if it is managed well, if you spend 2 taels of silver, it is estimated that you will be able to pay back in at least three years , and the property is still my own, even if I rent it out, there will be several thousand taels of silver a year, and I will not lose money in the long run."

Liuli nodded, she could still barely get ten thousand to twenty thousand silver.Although the profit is less, it is still a profit.After pondering for a moment, he said, "If you buy a shop like this, but there are problems with its operation, what should you do?"

Ji Xiaoquan said: "Laomiao Hutong is very close to several yamen in Gyeonggi, and there are quite a lot of big houses nearby. You can do silk and tea business. If it is Osmanthus Hutong in the north of the city, it is similar to Laomiao Hutong, but most of the people living nearby are wealthy businessmen. With high-ranking officials, it is more suitable to run restaurants and teahouses. There are also several alleys with good locations, and they all need to formulate strategies according to local conditions."

Liuli took the ginseng tea from Ruier and said: "Osmanthus alley can be considered. It is located in the north of the city, only four streets away from the Wangfu, so it is convenient to take care of. From now on, you don't have to go back to Zhuangzi, just go Go to Osmanthus Alley to find out if there is a suitable storefront, but I can consider any one with a good location and a selling price of less than 2 taels."

Ji Xiaoquan nodded: "I will follow grandma's orders."

Liuli glanced at Rui'er, then raised her lips and said to him: "You have worked hard for the past six months, except for the 50 taels of silver in charge, when the business of the shop is settled, you will be transferred to be the big shopkeeper."

The so-called big shopkeeper is the head of the internal and external account entry and exit. Many big shopkeepers on the cabinets of merchants are their own family members, and they are rarely assigned to outsiders.Liuli's decision was nothing short of surprising.

Ji Xiaoquan looked up at her, then quickly lowered his head: "I'm afraid it's too small to be competent."

Liuli put the bowl down and said, "Jia Fu's salary in Hongxiu's shop is now 200 taels a year, and I'll give you an extra 150 taels. Just as you said, the first three years will pay back the capital. If you can’t make money, it will be deducted from your annual salary, with a limit of five years. If you still can’t make a profit in five years, then you should go back to Zhuangzi to be a steward, and your 100 taels a year as a steward will also be deducted to make up for it. This loss will be made up until it is made up. If you pay back your capital in three years, I will give you an additional 20 taels of silver every year. If you pay back your capital in two years, I will give you an additional 50 taels of silver every year. If the profit can grow at a constant rate within five years, I will pay you Will increase."

When she said something like this, not to mention Ruier was surprised, even Ji Xiaoquan couldn't help showing surprise, the annual salary is linked to the profit of the shop, more earn more, less earn less or not, this is the rush People go this way wow!With a salary of 350 taels a year plus dozens of taels that may increase every year, it will take them a few years to count, and they can be regarded as people with a small fortune!

Ji Xiaoquan secretly calculated the situation in the Osmanthus Alley area, and then looked at Rui'er.Rui'er clasped her hands tightly and nodded at him.After receiving Rui'er's opinion, Ji Xiaoquan knelt down and said, "Little one, please follow Grandma's orders."

Liuli raised her lips and said: "In this way, I don't need to say how much I should spend on the management. There is another ugly thing to say first. Since I gave you such a high annual salary, I don't want Things like Wang Erma and Li Fugui happened, do you understand?"

Ji Xiaoquan said awe-inspiringly: "I understand! I must learn from Wang Ermazi!"

Liuli smiled and drank the ginseng tea.

In this way, making money for the shop means making money for him. With this motivation, he is not afraid of not working hard.

After Ji Xiaoquan left, Ruier expressed her anxiety and excitement to Liuli with great gratitude.Liuli smiled and pointed at Yuegui and Haitang: "See? If you two can find someone as capable as Ji Xiaoquan, it will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Yuegui Haitang blushed, no longer contorted like before, but looked at each other in blank dismay.

As they looked at each other, Liuli suddenly remembered that she had overlooked one thing. Counting that Yuegui Haitang was eighteen years old, it should be the time of Xu's family. In fact, besides her, Hao really didn't have any other people in the house. If she really accepted them, she wouldn't be able to say anything about him according to the rules, but even if she had such a generous heart, being a concubine would be very difficult for them. It's not necessarily a good thing to say.

What's more, she really didn't want them to take the path of concubines.After seeing the fate of so many concubines in the He Mansion, Liuli has been their master for so many years, how can she bear to see them follow in the footsteps of those people?

However, this is also a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and what should be asked still has to be asked.After sitting for half a day, he called Yuegui Haitang over and asked, "You two will be eighteen after the new year. What are your plans? Do you want to follow the general?"
