Chapter 436: A heart is dying

Gu Jiu sitting in the backyard of the butcher's shop drinking tea
At this time, the butcher’s goods have been sold out long ago and are being cleaned.
Deng Cunli resolved the troubled peasants and hurried to meet Gu Jiu.
"The old slave greets the lady."
"Is the matter finished?"
Deng Cunli nodded, "It has been processed. Those few leading vendors, from now on, never want to buy a scallion or two meat from the butcher shop.
The old slaves who were greedy for cheap peasants also talked to them. We don't interfere with whom they want to do business with, but we can't make trouble at the door of our global trading houses. Only this time, not as an example. Next time, our meat and vegetable shops at the Four Seas Commercial Bank will not purchase their produce. "
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "You handled it well. There will always be traffickers who take shortcuts, so don't worry too much.
What we rely on to win the market and trust is word of mouth and integrity. A few traffickers can't make waves.
Rural peasants who are greedy for petty and cheap things are indispensable at all times, and they don't have to be concerned. What happened before is actually helping us to select suppliers and customers.
The butcher shop must sell high-quality meat and vegetables, and also operate high-quality customers and high-quality suppliers. Those who are in a mess, give up if you want to.
You ask the butcher shop to write down all the troublemakers and make a roster. I will give it to Er Zhuang. Er Zhuang soaks in the countryside every day and goes to the village. He has his own way to clean up those peasants who are greedy for petty and cheapness and teach them how to be human. "
Deng Cunli responded to this matter, "I will hand in the list after a while."
Gu Jiu continued: "I told you about the plan for the butcher shop. Throughout the Gyeonggi region, we must try to attract as many farmers as possible to join our vegetable basket plan.
But because many places are really remote, it takes several days to come to the capital. I plan to set up a fixed receiving point in various places, and the Sihai Commercial Bank Meat and Vegetable Shop can prepare to open branches. "
Deng Cunli was surprised, "So soon? Winter is coming soon. Will it be too hasty to open a branch at this time? It's better to wait until spring to open a branch."
Gu Jiu said: "Open two branches first to test the market's response. I heard Erzhuang said that many restaurants are willing to directly cooperate with our butcher shop."
"Exactly. There are already more than a dozen restaurants in Beijing, and they regularly purchase meat and vegetables from butcher shops every day."
Gu Jiu was very happy.
The vegetable basket plan is an important part of her plan. Otherwise, she would not send Er Zhuang out to run the matter herself.
"Open the branch first to spread our influence and reputation. It doesn't matter if you post money first."
"Old slave obeyed."
Then Gu Jiu talked about the relocation plan, "Before next summer, I don't care what you use, violent demolition, emotional demolition, or interest-free loans. In short, all shack areas must be demolished. All the refugees moved into Xincunfang City. If there are people who refuse to cooperate, you know what to do."
"The old slave knows. Dismissed, driven, there is always a way to get those people to submit."
Gu Jiu nodded, "The means of demolition must be both soft and hard. Don't let the refugees think that the owner is weak and deceived.
In addition, the mountain will be closed from next year. No matter what method you use, promote coal stoves and briquettes as soon as possible. Briquettes should also reduce costs as much as possible and hit the market at the lowest price. It is better to be cheaper than firewood in the market. "
Deng Cunli was under great pressure, and it was not easy to make briquettes cheaper than firewood.
He said: "According to the lady's order, the coal plant can't make money with a small amount in the early stage."
Gu Jiu has always done things courageously, "I can make up for one year's profits for the coal plant. Starting next year, the coal plant will be responsible for its own profits and losses."
Deng Cunli breathed a sigh of relief immediately, "One year is enough."
Over the years, he learned all kinds of fancy marketing from Gu Jiu.
He already has preliminary ideas on how to promote new coal stoves and briquettes. Just wait for the weather to get colder for another day, and you can do a lot.
Deng Cunli has personally experienced coal stoves and briquettes, which are convenient, simple, and really cheap.
Using money-free cinders to compactly make briquettes, even a penny will have nearly double the profit. It's okay to keep the price lower.
To save a little, three or four briquettes a day are enough.
Only one hundred cents a month.
If it was half a year ago, when the refugees were so poor that they could not even get a penny, the briquettes would be so good, don't even want to promote it.
Now it's different. The refugees have some money in their hands.
Many families will accept briquettes for a few cents a day.
Because when winter comes, firewood will be bought with money.
Firewood is not necessarily cheaper than briquette, and it can't be used to heat the house.
Next, Gu Jiu went to the second phase of the project, and finally went to the textile workshop.
The textile workshop with thousands of people is full of people at a glance.
The textile workshop is divided into three workshops, one for spinning cotton, one for spinning wool, and one for making clothes.
The cotton piled up in the warehouse is all new cotton this year.
It looks really fulfilling.
Outside the textile workshop, an artificial canal passed by. The gurgling water is very gratifying.
By the artificial canal, craftsmen are trying to erect a waterwheel.
Gu Jiu mentioned Deng Cunli, "Fire prevention in textile workshops is the top priority. Other workshops should be kept away from here. In addition, we should do everything possible to provide convenience for craftsmen to transform textile machines. If this artificial channel The water flow is not enough to drive the waterwheel, so water is drawn from the Weishui River."
Deng Cunli was taken aback, "Diversion from the Weishui River is a big project."
Gu Jiu looked at the towering waterwheel with excitement, "No matter how big a project is, it is not worth mentioning in front of this waterwheel."
Is this a waterwheel?
Yes!
Not really!
This is productivity!
As long as the experiments on the textile workshop are successful, the waterwheel will be used in most industries. Spinning and weaving in textile workshops, pounding rice in grain and oil workshops, pressing coal in coal mills, irrigation of farmland, and even steelmaking and ironmaking.
Any place that requires a lot of manpower can be replaced by a waterwheel.
This is an improvement in productivity.
It is also the most solid step for Gu Jiu's huge business empire.
What a developer.
The liberation of productivity is really awesome.
It's a pity that she only knows a concept about these, and how to realize it depends on the craftsmen's own exploration.
Fortunately, she has the top craftsmen of this era.
She opened a window for the craftsmen, and the craftsmen gave her a dream.
Is there anything more wonderful than this in the world?
There will be no more.
Gu Jiu made a decision, "At the end of the year, we can start to assess the craftsmen, from the first level to the twelfth level, and the twelfth level is the master. The higher the level, the higher the salary. Encourage more people to learn skills, Inheriting skills."
Deng Cunli asked: "After the craftsman ranks are established, how should the treatment be divided."
Gu Jiu looked at the big waterwheel in front of him, and said: "A first-level worker must study at least two years. The salary is at least three to five times that of coolies.
Each time the craftsman's level is increased by one level, the treatment will be doubled accordingly. Masters are not included in this list, and the treatment of masters is calculated separately.
Assessing standards You contact the governor of the young government as a supervisor and let them set the standards for you. You can even spend money to ask them to help in the assessment. "
Deng Cunli nodded, "The old slave will hurry up on this matter."
Gu Jiu reminded him,
In the future, we will need more and more craftsmen, and the training of craftsmen must start now. Whether this place can rise up and can feed hundreds of thousands of people depends on whether your craftsman training can keep up.
In addition, the craftsman assessment is not limited to gender, and female workers in the textile workshop can also participate in the craftsman assessment. As long as you pass the grade, you can get an additional treatment. "
Deng Cunli frowned, "Women workers participated in the assessment, this is a risk to the world. Madam, this matter may be slowed down, the old slave is worried that it will attract criticism from the world."
Gu Jiu laughed, not caring at all.
She said: "In the past few years, what kind of stuff this lady has done is not risking the world? Isn't it just a female worker taking a craftsmanship test? Do you think it is serious?
Go and ask those refugees, is the criticism of the world more important, or money is more important? Make money with both hands, not ashamed.
As long as you are willing to save face and get the craftsman rank, you can increase your income three to five times. Such a good thing, do you believe it or not, more than 80% of the female workers will lose face and choose to take the craftsman rank exam? The remaining 20% ​​are all because the technology is not enough and they are ashamed to participate. "
Deng Cunli still found it difficult to accept.
Gu Jiu smiled and said something to him, "You have to be prepared, there are more and more female labor unions here. Maybe one day, the number of female workers will far exceed that of men."
Deng Cunli didn't believe it.
The male lead outside and the female lead inside, unchanged through the ages.
How could there be more female workers than male workers.
Gu Jiu smiled mysteriously, without explaining much.
After a busy day, she should also go back to the capital.
The road is not easy.
Many of the roads were still muddy roads, and the carriages shook badly.
Gu Jiu asked Deng Cunli, "Why didn't the bluestone slab be laid?"
Deng Cunli said hurriedly: "The old slave is about to talk to his wife about this. Stones are not produced near the capital, and the bluestone slabs that are paved must be shipped from other places, and the freight is extremely high. Even the cost of the bluestone slabs has also risen.
If all roads were paved with bluestone slabs according to the lady's request, this would be a great expense. Therefore, the old slave wanted to ask his wife for instructions. In order to save money, he only laid bluestone slabs on the main street. "
Gu Jiu asked him, "How much does the bluestone slab cost? How much did it cost to shop the street in the market?"
All the accounts were kept in Deng Cunli's mind, and he opened his mouth and reported two sums.
Gu Jiu heard the words and made a careful calculation and calculated the cost of the road to the house. The house price would have to go up.
Sure enough, laying bluestone slabs is not cost-effective, it is simply a money-burning tool.
But a good city, what a mud road looks like.
She pondered for a while and asked: "Beijing doesn't produce stone, but doesn't it produce clay?"
"Production!"
Gu Jiu immediately laughed.
She thought of modern cities, where the sidewalks are paved, which is quick and convenient.
There are no cars running these days, and there are only horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts on the road. The paving of bricks on the ground can withstand the crushing of these vehicles.
She said to Deng Cunli: "Bricks are definitely cheaper than stone. Find a way to build a kiln, or find a brick-burning partner. Ask them to help us burn the blue bricks for the road."
Deng Cunli frowned, "Is it appropriate to pave the road with bricks?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Nothing is inappropriate. But the bricks used for paving the road are definitely different from those used for building the house. How to burn the bricks, you find the craftsman who burns the bricks and ask them to help you figure out how to burn the most suitable pavement. As long as they can be burnt, we will cooperate for a long time in the future. It is best to find two more to avoid being pinched."
Deng Cunli wrote down the incident, "I hope it can be burned."
"It must be burned out."
The craftsmen of this era are actually very awesome.
In the past, they just lacked the opportunity to show their talents.
Now, Gu Jiu helps them open up their minds. As long as these old craftsmen are willing to seize the opportunity, they will definitely burst out with unimaginable creativity and execution.
Haha, she has found a new business point.
Once the paving bricks are burned out, there will be a model street, which will soon spread from the capital to the whole world.
At that time, this will be another huge industrial chain.
The carriage swayed and entered the capital from the South Gate.
She didn't rush back to the palace, but went to the drugstore to take a look.
After several years of precipitation, Xinglintang has already established its own reputation and reputation.
In particular, the four township prescriptions that Gu Jiu handed to Xinglintang at the beginning are well-known.
Today, Xinglintang’s bruises plasters are the necessary plasters for embroidered clothing guards, Wucheng soldiers and horses, Jinwu guards, and government officials.
If you have a fall and loss, you are right to find Xinglintang.
The plasters for bruises in other medicine shops in the capital are not enough.
After three or five rounds, he was already defeated in a mess.
Relieving cough, relieving phlegm, relieving rheumatism and relieving pain, and regulating qi and blood, these three medicines are equally famous and not inferior.
When Gu Jiu came to Xinglin Hall, there was a crowd in Xinglin Hall.
The waiting room in the corner of the drugstore is full of ordinary people in line, there are as many as 20 or 30 people.
Compared with the original Men Keluo Que, it is simply a world.
The number of people in the drugstore has increased from two to six. Tian Ku, the son of Doctor Tian, ​​became the shopkeeper.
In addition to Dr. Tian, ​​the sitting doctor also invited an old doctor.
The two take turns to sit in the clinic, it is not so hard.
Gu Jiu sat in the carriage and watched for a while, but the six guys were still too busy.
As the shopkeeper, Tian Ku not only has to settle accounts, but also help with medicine.
Seeing everyone so busy, Gu Jiu didn't bother to go in.
"Back to the palace!"
The carriage swayed and returned to the palace.
Gu Jiu got out of the carriage at the second door.
The mother-in-law greeted her with enthusiasm, "The eldest lady is back. The lord of Huyang came to see the eldest lady. Seeing that the eldest lady was not there, he went to Chunhetang to talk to the princess and empress."
"Oh, is Aunt Huyang here? How long has she been here?"
"Return to the lady, Princess Huyang has reached half an hour."
Gu Jiu said, "I'm covered in dust, so I go back to wash first. After a stick of incense, Mother Fang will invite Aunt Huyang to the east courtyard for me."
"Slaves obey orders."
...
Pei's and Huyang's aunts have always looked at each other and hated each other. If you can't say a few words, you have to fight.
Pei's annoyed her to death.
Hearing that Gu Jiu returned to the house, she waved her hand quickly, as if throwing out a fly, "Quickly go, go quickly, my princess does not welcome you here."
"Sister-in-law is really cruel."
Pei's eyebrows twitched, "You are here with this princess. Didn't you talk to the eldest wife? She is back now, so please go over."
"Sister-in-law does not wait to see me as always, huh, I am more rare to come here than sister-in-law."
Pei couldn't ask for it, "Then don't come next time. This princess doesn't care for you to come."
Huyang sneered, "If my nephew and wife are not here today, you think I would be happy to come to you."
"The princess did not ask you to come, you leave me quickly."
"Leave and leave."
Huyang got up, turned his head and left.
She brought people to the east courtyard.
Before entering the door, there was a scream, "My nephew and daughter-in-law, my palace is suffering!"
As soon as Gu Jiu sat down after washing, he almost threw the brush in his hand when Huyang screamed for his life.
She has a headache!
Princess Huyang rushed to Gu Jiu like a gust of wind, "My nephew and daughter-in-law, you have to help my palace. My palace is suffering!"
"Auntie don't cry, drink a cup of tea and speak slowly."
Gu Jiu was very patient, coaxing Huyang like a child.
Don't say, Princess Huyang will eat this set.
So she looked after Gu Jiu very pleasing to the eye, no matter what Gu Jiu said she was very convinced.
Qingmei offered tea and retreated to the side.
Gu Jiu coaxed Huyang, "Auntie drinks tea first and roars."
The temperature of the tea was just right, Huyang took a sip from the teacup, and then took the handkerchief to wipe away the non-existent tears. One bite is suffering.
"Auntie, can you tell me what happened?"
Huyang sobbed: "Little monk, he is leaving the capital. Wow... the heart of this palace is about to die."
