171 The brain is flooded?
Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Ting, then Li Er, and gritted his teeth and said very alone: "Master Lu, this matter is what you think about. Is the prince here? Is it more suitable for you?"
If Zhang Heng wants to charge for the trap, he will never be vague. He can tell him to speak to Li Er and make him embarrassed, so he might as well just push the matter to Lu Ting.
Li Er turned his head and looked at Lu Ting to see what he was going to say.
Zhang Heng asked him to cooperate and sold himself in a blink of an eye. Lu Ting really wanted to kick him, but it was difficult to get angry in front of Li Er, so he could only say with a smile:
"Mr., this is how it is. Xiaweitang's business is done well, and the people who visit are lined up. It can be seen that it has a good prospect. Many retired veterans in Wuyitang want to have a job and use their remaining energy. However, Xiaweitang only has one room and cannot arrange many people. After discussing with Director Zhang, they plan to open a few more rooms. They spent a lot of money to raise some money, but the amount was not enough, so..."
Zhang Heng was not an outsider and knew about his relationship with Li Er. Lu Ting called his mentor without hesitation.
Regardless of whether he agrees or not, he will say that he will say that he hasn't called for so long, and I don't know if Li Er has forgotten it, so it's okay to remind him.
Li Er hesitated a little when he heard this. He didn't know whether to answer or to leave it apart. After hesitating for a moment, he still did not refuse. He said calmly: "In a turbulent period, the Qin Palace was suppressed and the funds were cut. If we talk about anything else, it would be fine. I would ask for money, but there was no."
They were forced to spare the goods, but they had no money to hand it over to Lu Ting for trouble.
To put it bluntly, now it is a tense struggle, and money can only be used on the blade, even if it is a matter of Wuyi Hall, it can only be ranked behind.
Zhang Heng, who was standing by, saw that Li Er did not object to Lu Ting calling his mentor, and his eyes looked strange when he looked at Lu Ting.
He had long guessed that Li Erhui refused. Lu Ting was very calm and showed a look of disappointment on his face. However, he nodded quickly and thoughtfully and said, "In a troublesome situation, my teacher is burdened. We will solve the money ourselves. My teacher just said that other things can be discussed, and the students dared to make two small requests."
"Oh, let's talk first." Li Er did not agree at once and asked Lu Ting to make a request first.
"I heard that there is a good stone mountain in the south of the city. That mountain belongs to my mentor, right?"
Li Er nodded and said, "That's right, why do you like this mountain?"
Li Er remembered this land clearly. At the beginning, he wanted to build a farm and set up Wuyi Hall in the farm. But the prince felt that setting up a farm there might be another way, so he strongly opposed it and collected the nearby land, so he let Li Er's plan to build a farm still die.
"To be precise, it's looking at the spring water on Zhongshan." Lu Ting said while it was hot: "In one month, there will be six Xiaweitangs in Chang'an City. Now Xiaweitang's wine is purchased from abroad, and the profits are divided by a large part of it. Students are preparing to make wine by themselves. To make wine, good water is needed. The water from Liangshiquan is very suitable for brewing wine."
"In addition to brewing wine, you can also organize idle people in the untied hall to transport water to Chang'an City to sell."
Li Er said in disbelief: "What? Selling water? I have never heard of it."
How many canals are there in Chang'an City to deliver water. Almost every household has self-digged wells, but they are not close to the transport canal, and there are also water diversion canals to get water. The ground is full of water. Some people still have to pay for it?
"Mr., you heard it right," Lu Ting said in a casual manner: "The water in the transport channel is often shipped, and there are dead animals floating on it. It is not as good as I imagined. As for the well water, there are so many sewage canals in Chang'an City, the sewage will penetrate, and the quality of the well water is just average. This is the reason why the dignitaries and nobles in the palace transport mountain spring water outside the city. Some families with conditions will also go out of the city to fetch water. If there is demand, there will be a market. As long as the price is cheap enough, there will definitely be business opportunities."
"Cheap? How to get cheap?" Li Er asked patiently.
Lu Ting has a good idea of using mountain spring water to make wine. Now the control of winemaking is not strict. Getting a brewing license is just a matter of one word for Li Er. The question is whether it is to sell water or sell water in Chang'an City, where there is sufficient water source, so there is no water in your mind.
If Lu Ting hadn't performed very well recently, Li Er would have left with her sleeves long ago.
"A bucket of water is only sold for one or two cents, and it is less than a piece of Hu cake. I believe many people are willing to pay for it. After all, it is much better to use mountain spring water to make tea, boil soup, and cook than to use ordinary water."
Li Er shook his head and said, "A bucket of water costs two cents. Even if the water does not cost money, it is transported back from more than ten miles. What about manual labor? It can't be much pulled in a day. If you use animal power, there will be a lot of money. What's the point of making money?"
Lu Ting said confidently: "Mr., the student did not think that it would be good to make money by selling water. It would be good to balance income and expenditure. It would be acceptable to lose some money. Of course, it was not to let the veterans of Wuyitang do some thankless things, but to establish a channel and a circle by selling water."
Speaking of this, Lu Ting said excitedly: "It is definitely a good deal to knock on the door of potential buyers of those people with a bucket of water that is not profitable and gain their trust. Of course, we first delivered water to them. After establishing mutual trust, we could also give them Xiaweitang's cage rice and bring them various goods. Of course, these are future events."
Chang'an City is very large, but the business development is extremely unbalanced. Buying and selling are concentrated in the east and west cities. 70% of hotels are concentrated in Chongrenfang, and nearly 90% of food are concentrated in Chongrenfang, Pingkangfang and Wubenfang. It is not bad to live near the east and west cities. It is far away and it is very inconvenient to shop.
Inspired by a group in later generations, Lu Ting decided to build a business circle and revitalize more than 100 yards in Chang'an City.
Seeing that Li Er was a little undecided, Lu Ting quickly made a suggestion that Li Er could not refuse: "Master, if this matter is done, those who deliver water will be the eyes of their mentors. As long as there is any movement in Chang'an City, they will not escape the palm of their mentors."
Just to say it, it is hard for Li Er to imagine the terribleness of this model. For someone like Li Er who is determined to be the world, that little money is difficult to attract his eyes. To impress him, he has to say something he cares most.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Yunshui could help him inquire about the news, Li Er said happily: "Okay, I'm OK with this matter."
Soon, Li Er said hesitantly: "There are many people in Chang'an who use water for Liangshiquan, but suddenly they don't let them take it anymore. Isn't it a bit unkind?"
Sure enough, the superiors cherish their feathers, and Li Er is no exception. He doesn't want to bear a reputation of profit-oriented.
Lu Ting just pondered for a moment and quickly said, "This matter is easy to deal with. He said to the outside world that Liangshi Mountain was given to Wuyi Hall. However, the teacher was kind to the people of Chang'an, and the people could still get water for free. Students were diverted from Liangshiquan for their water use. In this way, no one could say that the teacher was not."
