Chapter 57 Yunong’s trip to Liaodong

Until the first day of the twelfth lunar month, there would still be light snowfall every day.

It’s time for Taiping’s monthly meeting again. Although the caravan can’t enter the grassland after the snow, the revenue in all aspects has still reached a new high.

In the horse market, 4,500 kilograms of spirits were sold, and the profit was 22,500 taels.

Tianru sold 500 catties, including 100 catties in 30 years, 200 catties in twenty years, and 200 catties in thirty years. In the end, a total of 42,000 taels were earned.

The inn and restaurant earned 1,200 taels.

Zhang Zongxian, a consignment seller of wool yarn, gave Hu Biao a profit of one tael. He sold 30,000 catties and finally earned 3,000 taels.

The purchase price of each catty of wool from the horse market was two taels of silver. The horse market purchased a total of 40,000 catties of wool at basically no cost and earned 8,000 taels.

Hu Biao also followed Zhang Zongxian's instructions and sent people pulling sleds into the grassland to try to trade with the grassland tribes in winter. He bought back all the cattle and sheep that had frozen to death in the grassland.

However, the horse market is about to pay dividends, and 50% of the money must be distributed.

Zhang Zongxian interrupted Hu Biao and felt that the share was too much, so he asked Hu Biao to adjust the accounts and put aside the profits from Tianru Liquor. He would just give one or two shares to those in the Yamen who had invested in the company and Li Zheng.

The winery has now stopped production and relies entirely on the wine it originally produced. Fortunately, Erguotou produces more. To ensure future supply, Tianru has limited sales to 500 kilograms per month.

In the end, the winery earned 34,000 taels of silver last month.

The bank is basically losing money right now. The money it lends out is either interest-free or has not yet been collected. However, the bank's money has been increasing, except for the deposits from Taiping's businesses.

In addition to the county government, some wealthy businessmen also deposited their silver in banks in exchange for banknotes for the convenience of transactions. As a result, the bank's silver deposits exceeded 300,000 taels, not counting Zhang Zongxian's private bank account.

The grain stack now basically maintains a storage of 30,000 stone of grain. Unless there is any accident, a large amount of grain will not enter the warehouse until the summer harvest. This does not include the autumn tax of 10,000 stone that is temporarily stored in the grain stack.

The wool workshop has now fully ordered 30,000 kilograms of wool yarn. It is working overtime to produce and deliver. It has already earned 77,000 taels from selling expenses.

Because traffic is cut off due to snow, there will basically be no income in the twelfth lunar month.

Moreover, after the twelfth lunar month, it is the Spring Festival, and business activities basically resume after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, this monthly meeting also determines each company's expansion plan for next year.

Ma Shi’s goal for next year is to continue to expand its influence in the grassland. Not only can spirits be provided by all civilian products relying on the workshop, but also

Qianzhuang and Liangzhan want to carry out business in nearby counties. They must first establish outlets in the first district and three counties of Jiazhou.

The winery is fully engaged in production, and now there is no shortage of manpower. It will produce 100,000 catties of Erguotou and 10,000 catties of Tianru next year.

Next year Erguotou will not only be sold on the grassland, but also on a large scale within the border wall.

The wool workshop also needs to continuously expand production, and plans to produce one million kilograms of wool thread next year.

After watching the monthly meeting, Zhang Zongxian asked each person in charge to make a budget for next year. It doesn't matter if they can't do it. Their sons and grandsons are all Zhang Zongxian's disciples. Just ask them for help. Zhang Zongxian helped Su'e's bank.

Zhang Zongxian also announced the future promotion and welfare system for the Taiping staff.

Taiping employees will be divided into interns, clerks, team leaders, managers, general managers, deputy shopkeepers, and general shopkeepers.

All employees who join Taiping, whether they are recruited or graduated from the academy, must intern for three months before officially taking up the job. The internship salary is half of the formal job type.

All promotions are based on work performance and will be assessed by the college's Learning Department (the Human Resources Department will be established later) after being recommended by superiors. Only those who pass the assessment can be promoted.

Starting from the team leader, they will enjoy thirteen salary packages, managers will enjoy department year-end bonuses, starting from the general manager will have dividend shares, and the deputy shopkeeper and general shopkeeper will be personally appointed by Zhang Zongxian.

Children of Taiping employees can enter the college without taking the exam.

After the monthly meeting, Zhang Zongxian called Yu Nong to arrange his trip to the capital.

After Yu Nong arrived, Zhang Zongxian gave the printed storybook to Yunong and asked him to sit down and read it carefully. Now Yunong has no problem reading the storybook novels after studying hard.

Zhang Zongxian asked Yu Nong to read "All Living Beings Should Be Tribulated: Demons from Outside the Territory" first. He began to make plans for next year.

Yu Nong was sweating coldly as he read it. The scenes depicted in it made Yu Nong a little suffocated. He could not imagine what it would be like to see millions of people being slaughtered.

Do the extraterrestrial demons really feed on humans? Those boar-skin troops are all extraterrestrial demons. No wonder the Ming Dynasty lost the battle.

Master has always emphasized the use of firearms to deal with wild boar skins?

But how did Master know this?

The more Yu Nong read, the more questions he had, so much so that he stood up unconsciously without realizing it. When Zhang Zongxian saw him standing up, he thought he had finished reading. Then he asked

"How come you've finished reading it?" Yunong asked twice before he came to his senses.

"Master and disciples haven't finished reading yet."

"Why did you stand up before you finished watching?"

Only then did Yunong realize that he had stood up from the chair. He didn't care about the content behind and asked directly:

"Master, is that wild boar skin really an extraterrestrial demon?"

This is what Zhang Zongxian wants.

"Everything in this book is true. This is the secret that the ancestor of our sect, the master of Weishi, stole with his life. The reason why Weishi wrote it into a storybook is to warn the people! Otherwise, the wild boar will really be killed.

If Pi opens the passage to the devil's world, no one in the world will be spared, and even the master will not be able to escape.

Moreover, the reason why I know how to make strong liquor, how to make sweaters and the briquettes is because I have stolen the secrets. It is also to gather financial resources to prepare for other disasters in the future."

"Master, are there any other disasters?"

"Yes, but the most important thing right now is to deal with this extraterrestrial demon first, otherwise everything will be in vain! My teacher called you here because he has an extremely important thing for you to do.

My teacher wants you to take this book to Liaodong to find storytellers and ask them to tell about this book, and the contents of the book must be spread throughout Liaodong in a short time.

There will be no risk as long as you act carefully, but if you succeed, you will save many people. With such merit, the next generation will at least be a relative of the emperor."

"What does Master ask disciples to do? Disciples just do it? Even if disciples risk their lives, they must do it for Master."

"Okay, you choose a few good people to go with you. You need to choose someone with a family. This time you go to Liaodong and give each person a settlement allowance of 100 taels. When you come back and become a teacher, you will be rewarded.

The shares in the market rose to 10%."

Yunong, who was in charge of the tax department, naturally knew how profitable the horse market was. The merchants' starting prices for 10% of the shares were at least 30,000 taels. In other words, he got 30,000 taels without spending a penny.

After spending such a large amount of money, Yunong was so excited that he even trembled a little when he spoke.

"Master's disciples are receiving salary without merit! This is too much."

"Take it if it's given to you. Master will see what you do. After you leave, ask your subordinates to report directly to Master. When you leave, take five thousand taels with you. Remember to spend money on anything you can."

If you want money, don't take risks.

Don't expose yourself when you give money to others to do things for you. You also need to survey the route and establish a stronghold. If you don't have enough money, just ask. In short, what a teacher wants is results.

Remember, safety is the first priority. I am still waiting for you to come back and help me deal with other disasters. Go ahead and get ready, say goodbye to your family, and leave early and come back early."
