Chapter 559: Lost one hundred million (three shifts)

Gu Jiu felt that he had lost 100 million.
When she returned to the palace, she lay on the soft collapse, unable to raise her energy.
As soon as the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou was completed, the benefits of cement were clearly in front of the world.
Seeing that the Beijing cement market was about to usher in a blowout, she had to give up the opportunity to make money to Shaofu.
Ahhhhh!
One hundred million was lost.
"Gai Ming'er, I'm looking for Shao Fu Jia Ling and knock him out."
Liu Zhao laughed, "So unwilling, what did you do to let the cement market out of Beijing? You don't have to do this."
Gu Jiu sighed, "It won't work if you don't do this. If your father lets the Shaofu burn cement, and the money is invested in it, there will be no profit for a while.
If I don't give up the cement market in Beijing, and tell the young mansion to eat a wave of dividends first, with the stinginess of my father, he will definitely focus on the cement road from Beijing to Luozhou and intervene in the toll booth.
There is no way, I can only choose the small and the big. Anyway, the rich man on the south side of the Yangtze River can make money back from the capital's losses if it takes some time. "
Liu Zhao was silent.
Because what Gu Jiu said was right, Emperor Wen De was so stingy.
If Gu Jiu didn't let the bonus come out first, Emperor Wende couldn't be happy.
The so-called companion of a monarch is like a companion of tiger, that's what it means.
Liu Zhao said: "Don't worry, I will retaliate for you."
Gu Jiu Xingyan, "How do you avenge me?"
Liu Zhao smiled mysteriously, "Do you know why the father was talking about cement in Weiyang Palace instead of Xingqing Palace?"
"Is it someone who is guarding?"
"Naturally, it is against the household department. This time the Shaofu will build a cement workshop to build roads. I will help the household department, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Engineering. Ask them to blend into the cement business."
Gu Jiu became nervous, "Is it possible to do this? I am not afraid of my father's anger and clean up you?"
Liu Zhao smiled, "It's okay, I won't involve myself in it."
He only needs to sell the news to someone, and this cement war cannot be avoided.
Shaofu and Emperor Wende wanted to eat alone, it was absolutely impossible.
Haha!
Gu Jiu slapped Liu Zhao's face, "It's great! This is indeed not for Shaofu to eat alone, so we must guard against greed."
It is really too easy for toll booths to make false accounts.
In order to prevent false accounts, Gu Jiu reused Sirius Army veterans as toll collectors. On the one hand, they recruited employees from all over the country and let them manage the accounts and money.
It is equal to checks and balances between the two sides.
In order to put an end to a colony of people greedy for ink, she also planned that the toll station will be assessed and replaced every year.
Don't let a group of people stay in one place for a long time. This can easily lead to corruption cases.
As long as the flow of toll gates can be guaranteed year after year, corruption can be effectively eliminated.
Liu Zhao said: "I just wronged you. Although I don't know how to make a living, I also know that this cement can make a lot of money for you. If you give up the capital in vain, you will definitely lose a lot."
More than just a heavy loss, it is clearly a loss of 100 million.
Ahhhhh!
Can't think about this problem.
When I think about it, my heart hurts.
Gu Jiu covered his heart with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
Liu Zhao became worried, "What's the matter? Where is it uncomfortable? Get your pulse quickly."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I feel uncomfortable."
"Could it be a heart disease?" Liu Zhao was shocked, and he wanted to ask someone to get a doctor.
Huh!
Gu Jiu laughed, "Look at your nervousness, I'm not that serious. I just feel sorry for the money and feel uncomfortable."
Liu Zhao frowned slightly, "Why don't you get the capital market back."
"Where can I get it back, I'm not so stingy."
But looking at your uncomfortable look, it's not as atmospheric as you said.
Gu Jiu bared his teeth, a stinking man, he knew to tear down the stage.
"Forget it, forget it, it's a big deal, I earn it from elsewhere."
For Gu Jiu, making money is already an extremely simple matter.
She was just a little upset, and the cement market developed with great pains gave way in vain.
She feels distressed here. Inside the palace, the two emperors and queens are discussing her.
Empress Pei waited on Emperor Wende to wash, while chatting, "Gu Jiu is not bad. He took the initiative to let the cement market out."
Emperor Wen De hummed, and after a while, he said, "She is defending me. It is really unreasonable to treat my belly with the heart of a villain."
Empress Pei laughed, "Today I am paying dividends. I used to invest 50 thousand taels from the royal palace. The harvest was very fruitful. The concubines also followed. Is it because she was afraid that her majesty picked peaches, so she deliberately gave up the cement market? ?"
Emperor Wen De snorted, "Do you think I am the kind of person who can steal business from my daughter-in-law?"
Queen Pei smiled and said nothing.
Emperor Wen De said: "Outside the Nancheng Gate, she runs very well. It is impossible for anyone to do better than her. She is clearly a villain, and I will never intervene outside the Nancheng Gate. "
Queen Pei thought that if Gu Jiu hadn't voluntarily surrendered the Beijing cement market, Emperor Wende might not intervene outside Nancheng Gate.
With such a hen laying golden eggs in front of her eyes, who can be indifferent? Can you restrain your hands?
Moreover, Emperor Wen De was still short of money.
Maybe one day his temper will explode, and if something offends him, he will have to fight outside the Nancheng Gate.
With this in mind, it is really wise for Gu Jiu to take the initiative to give up the Beijing cement market.
Queen Pei thought secretly, Gu Jiu had a wink, could talk and do things, very good.
Unfortunately, the eldest son Liu Zhao is not a thing. She had a cold face all day, not close to her at all.
On the contrary, it is the younger son Liu Yi, well-behaved and filial.
If it were not for the sake of the overall situation, Queen Pei really didn't want to give Liu Zhao a face.
Liu Zhao, the child, is a bit unpleasant.
"The concubines have to congratulate Your Majesty in advance, Wende has made a lot of money in the second year."
Emperor Wende laughed, "By the Queen's words."
He also looks forward to the real blowout of the Beijing cement market. Can bring a considerable income to Shaofu.
...
Not many days have passed since the New Year.
People in the city are still busy, busy earning a sum of money for the New Year.
People in the country have long started cat winter.
In the winter, when there is nothing to do, I hide in the house and cook. The women do needlework, and the men repair the roof and furniture of the house.
This winter is very cold.
The countryside is also very quiet.
Hujiatun in the Gyeonggi region is a remote village at the foot of the mountain.
This day, a quiet winter life, because outsiders broke.
"Auntie, this is the coal stove, this is the briquettes. Look at it, put the briquettes in, the holes are aligned, and the fire is up, cooking and boiling water are fast. All day long, don’t worry about running out of hot water use."
Wang Xiaoxi, a farmer on the outskirts of Beijing, has a brother at the top and a brother at the bottom. He is neither the eldest nor the youngest in the middle, so he is naturally ignored.
He grew up like a sheep herding, and because of the need for a lot of labor outside the Nancheng Gate, he followed the villagers to work outside the Nancheng Gate, earning three meals, food and clothing, and daily wages.
Winter is here, there is little work on the construction site, and the owner gives priority to the refugees.
Wang Xiaoxi, a native of Gyeonggi, said that he had no objection is a fake.
But he didn't want to work hard for a lifetime.
If there is another way out, it is impossible for him to come to coolies.
It happens that the coal plant is recruiting people with a monthly salary of 200 yuan and a commission.
At the beginning, he still didn't understand what commission was.
After being explained, he realized that the achievement is to sell something, and he can extract part of the money as his reward.
This is good!
Although he is not so talkative, he can learn.
Even if he pays 200 pennies a month, he is willing to do this business.
The refugees in Xinmin County, the residents of the second phase of the project, have long been entrusted by the old man of the coal plant, and it is not his turn.
After he attended the training class for half a month, he began to follow the masters, walking from village to village, from village to village, from village to village, to sell briquettes.
He was very motivated and refused to rest near the end of the year.
On this day, I came to Hujiatun early in the morning.
He has long been informed that Hujiatun is a medium-sized village with 70 or 80 households. In this village, by selling agricultural products to Sihai meat and vegetable shops, every family has some money in their hands.
"... If my aunt is worried that the briquettes will burn too fast, this cover is made of ceramics. Cover the hole below, leaving only a small hole for ventilation. Look, is the fire going down?"
"If you burn it like this, the three-part briquettes can burn for one day and several pots of hot water. When you cook, remove the lid and the fire will start again. It won’t be long before the family’s The food is ready. How convenient is this coal stove, it is suitable for winter use."
"...If you sell one hundred briquettes at a time, the coal stove can be delivered for free. Really, don't dare to lie to you. This is my business card with my name and the address of our owner. Sihai Commercial Bank knows it, our owner It's the manager of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and find the right one."
Wang Xiaoxi took out his palm-sized business card, and scattered a few of them to the aunt and uncle who were onlookers.
At the beginning, the firm was not trusted by people because of the hardship of men going out to sell.
Gu Jiu casually mentioned, "You can make a business card to introduce yourself."
As a result, the business card produced was not exactly what Gu Jiu remembered. It's a big slap as an adult man.
Firms also have a weird ethos, the bigger the business card, the more stylish.
When Gu Jiu held a ten-centimeter-long business card carefully made by the firm below, he looked unlovable.
"Madam, this is a business card made as you said. The business card needs to be so big and stylish!"
Gu Jiu: "..."
What can my lady say?
Can Mrs. Ben sever the heart of the fellow below who pursues style?
Can't!
Okay, bigger, bigger. I don’t have glasses these days, I can see clearly when I’m older.
Since then, business cards that are as big as the slap of an adult man became popular in the four seas business houses and began to become popular in the capital business community.
As a coal factory guy, Wang Xiaoxi went out to sell, so naturally he had to catch up with the trend and made a large number of business cards for himself. Anyway, the government paid the money.
"...Uncle, I dare not lie to you. This is the welfare of our firm. As long as you buy a hundred briquettes at a time, you will get a coal stove for free."
"The briquettes are not expensive. If you buy them individually, it costs a penny. But if you buy a hundred briquettes at a time, it only costs fifty pennies, which is a full half cheaper. Yes, the price is the same throughout Beijing."
"It is of course convenient to burn wood. It’s just that it’s so cold and it’s dangerous to go up the mountain to chop wood. In case of a knock and fall, please ask the doctor for medicine. Medicine is much more expensive than honeycomb coal. Moreover, your family has a large population, so you need it. There is also a lot of firewood. My family is too busy, so I have to spend money to buy firewood. The same is to spend money. It is better to buy briquettes. You can have hot water at any time throughout the day. You can use heat for washing vegetables, cooking, and even washing clothes. Water. And no one needs to watch the fire."
"It will be cold for at least two months on this day. If you spend one or two hundred liters in these two months, you will be able to live comfortably by buying hundreds of briquettes at home."
"Auntie, look at you, there must be a capable person in the family. Auntie has worked hard for a year, but she should also take a coal stove home. This year, the whole family will be happy. And, with this coal stove, There is no need to burn charcoal for heating, which saves your family a lot of money."
"Your family has a large population. If you don't turn off the fire all day long, you can use six briquettes a day. If you buy one hundred briquettes at a time, six will cost three cents. You can't use one hundred briquettes a month."
"If the family has a small population, naturally less than six briquettes are used."
"Auntie, do you want to mention a coal stove to go back?"
The villagers watched for a while, and almost the whole village surrounded Wang Xiaoxi to watch him sell briquettes.
The effort paid off, and finally three companies bought briquettes.
Li Zheng's family is the richest and bought three hundred briquettes in one go.
The other two households only bought a hundred briquettes.
One village sold 500 briquettes, and Wang Xiaoxi was overjoyed.
"I will come again in 20 days. When the briquettes are used up, just find me directly. Wang Xiaoxi will be responsible for this one in the future."
"The briquettes are on the avenue outside the village. They are solid and heavy. I'll let someone pick you up."
