Chapter 138 Sorghum and Maitreya
As soon as Zhao Jin became serious, Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da immediately shuddered, and they were shocked. They thought that this master was not old but so scary. They subconsciously felt that Zhao Jin was not bluffing.
Although he was afraid, he had to pay dozens of taels of silver every year, and controlling food and accommodation was a huge temptation. Although Lu Xiangjiu had some land, he had to work hard to support his whole family. Su Da was half hungry and half full all day long. From the outside, it can be seen that they were destroyed by hard work.
More importantly, these two people had good days back then, one opened a winery and the other worked in the winery. This was a good place to eat and eat well. After having a good life, after hard work, we would look forward to returning to the past.
After hesitating there for a long time, he was not young and had no impulse. Lu Xiangjiu hesitated and said, "The conditions of the master are extremely generous. Even if he is a yamen, he may not be able to get them. But the young man said in advance that the winery has lost money. The master cannot blame the pursuit, otherwise the young man would not dare to do it."
Su Da nodded quickly, Zhao Jin smiled and said, "I am the boss, and it is my business to lose money. As long as you do your best, your wages will not be deducted."
It can be seen that Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da hesitated for a long time before they did not agree to sign the document immediately, but just said that they would go back and discuss with their families.
As soon as the two men left, Zhao Jin called Chen Hong in and asked Chen Hong to take out 400 taels of silver to spare.
Hearing the number of "four hundred taels", Chen Hong immediately widened his eyes and stared at Zhao Jin and said, "Brother Zhao, although we have money, we can't spend so much money. What does Brother Zhao want to do? If I do it randomly, I won't take it."
His serious expression made Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing laugh. Zhao Jin said, "I am really relieved to have Erhong as the accountant, serious, careful and principled."
Wang Zhaojing also nodded. Chen Hong's face turned red with excitement after being praised, but he insisted: "Brother Zhao, you must say what you do, you can't do it."
"I want to open a winery, and it costs money to buy land and build utensils to hire people, so I get so much." Zhao Jin explained in detail. Since he used Chen Hong as the accountant, he would not treat the other party as a child, but would seriously follow the rules.
Hearing this, Chen Hong nodded and said, "Then I'll get it now. Brother Zhao remembers that everything needs a voucher, otherwise there will be no way to account."
When Chen Hong went out, Wang Zhaojing said with a serious expression: "Brother Zhao, I just heard the two craftsmen say that winemaking matters are all about losing money. Since I am sure I will pay money, why should I learn this lesson?"
Zhao Jin smiled and replied, "I will do it only if I am sure not to lose money."
"What's the point?"
"80%."
After a brief answer, seeing that Zhao Jin had no intention of joking, Wang Zhaojing nodded, opened the book again, and said without raising his head: "Then I will wait and see. Brother Zhao is both literary and martial, and he actually knows how to do business and make wine. I want to see, what else does Brother Zhao know about?"
In the afternoon, Pig-killing Li sent another silver sum. Since the city south of the city made it clear that Zhao Jin would support Pig-killing Li, the process of accepting Yan Hei-chao's business was much smoother than before. It turned out that many people who were waiting and even resisted secretly took the initiative to hand over the money.
According to the account report found by Sun Dalei, neither Chen Ergou nor Zhushu Li did a fraud. If he took a step back, it would not exceed 10% of the total number. This range was within a tolerable range. Of course, Zhao Jin understood that if the water was clear, there would be no fish.
In addition, Li Zhukan also negotiated a deal with him. His butcher shop would regularly send pork and big bones. He used a lot of big pot dishes here. Li Zhukan was quite moved when he left, saying that it would be a blessing for anyone to serve Zhao Jin. Except for those big officials and gentry, no family would give his servants so much food.
When it was still one hour before dark, Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da came again, looking at their sweaty heads, they must have run over.
"The master thinks that the younger ones are lucky, and the younger ones are willing to sign." Both of them said this without any worries.
Their expressions and attitudes were a hundred times more terrified than when they first met. Lu Xiangjiu had seen some markets and said tremblingly: "I didn't expect that the master was such a hero. He was so ungrateful in the morning. He deserved to die."
People outside the city didn't know, but when they found an acquaintance in the city, they immediately learned about Zhao Jin's deeds and knew what kind of powerful hero Zhao Jin was.
Zhao Jin smiled and comforted him a few words, asking Lei Cai, who happened to be here, to go to the yamen to invite Ye Wenshu over.
Ye Wu's family got the money and moved into the new home. Ye Wenshu's face in the yamen also increased a lot. He thought he would be completely bullied by Juren Yang, but he didn't expect Yu Qiang to turn the tables. Such a turning point made no one dare to underestimate it.
Of course, Ye Wenshu also knew how all this came about and he regarded himself as Zhao Jin's subordinates everywhere.
It didn't take long before Ye Wenshu rushed over and signed a contract for employment with the two people. The contract was signed. Zhao Jin first sent Ye Wenshu away and then returned to the house.
"The winery must be opened in the city. Is this difficult?" Now the relationship between the two parties is different from what they were just now, Zhao Jin asked straight to the point.
Lu Xiangjiu and Su Dabi were at a loss just now. The reason why they rushed back to sign the employment documents was because they found out what kind of person Zhao Jin was. They knew that this young man looked young but had dozens of lives on his back. How dare they argue with such a person? Whatever the other party said was what he said.
I never thought that after I registered the document, I actually got a year's silver, and I had dozens of taels in my hands. This was enough to make up for the income of the two of them for several years or even more than ten years. I was really shocked and everyone was stunned.
Zhao Jin asked another question, and then the two of them realized. Lu Xiangjiu hurriedly said: "It's no difficulty. The winery tastes great. Even if you sell houses and land, you can't sell them for price. Moreover, there are many vacant houses in Xuzhou now. I'm afraid that the empty houses will not be sold. Just exchange them for them."
Zhao Jin nodded and said again: "Winemaking requires preparing utensils and materials. Just open the mouth if you need it. I will buy all of them for you. I will use you two for your skilled work, and I will use apprentices for the rest."
"The owner is thoughtful. There is no need to buy too many utensils. There must be stocks in those closed wineries. You can buy them together, including the sky pot, the floor pot, the floor tank, and the various household items in the drying hall. It is useless for others to take back these things. They are probably locked in the yard. The young man will go over to see them tomorrow morning and come to report to the owner later." Su Da said rushingly.
After the document was established, the relationship between Donghuo's employment was determined, and Su Da was a little tempted to fight with Lu Xiangjiu, and rushed to speak.
"It's good to have an apprentice, there are young old men watching in front of the pot. It doesn't matter if they don't understand anything. Just learn it." Lu Xiangjiu also had something to say.
"What should I do? You can make your own decisions. I will go and arrange it when everything is ready." Zhao Jin said with a smile, then closed his smile and said, "I have a rule here, that is, no matter what happens in the winery, you can't talk about things in my winery. Do you understand these words?"
Zhao Jin's expression was calm, but Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da both shuddered and quickly agreed.
After finishing today, both of them lived outside the city and were in a hurry to go home. Before leaving, Su Da couldn't help but turn around and asked: "Boss, do we really need sorghum to make wine?"
"You need to use it" Zhao Jin answered very affirmatively. Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da looked at each other in shock and said goodbye quickly. Both of them subconsciously touched their arms. More than 30 taels of silver a year had been obtained. According to what they said in advance, the profit of the winery had nothing to do with their own family. Then follow this young master and just act like to accompany the rich.
Their subtle reactions and actions could not escape Wang Zhaojing's eyes. Wang Zhaojing could even guess what the two of them were thinking, but seeing Zhao Jin's confident look, it was hard to say anything.
After finishing the training, Zhao Jin even bought a few kilograms of fresh fruit halfway through the way. Now he can barely make money by making money by himself, and it is normal to buy something. The vendor who set up a stall refused to collect Zhao Jin's money and said, "You are here forever, this is a blessing for villains." After being rejected for a long time, Zhao Jin had to take it.
Everything went smoothly on the day. When Zhao Jin returned home, he found that his mother He Cuihua scolded Zhao Sanliang in the yard.
"What do you believe in that deceiving thing? I'm not giving you money to cure your illness. Don't you know how many people believe that this family is destroyed?" He Cuihua was full of momentum and pinched her waist and made a sound.
The Zhao San family kept apologizing: "We are also confused, aunt, please bypass us this time."
Seeing Zhao Jin coming back, He Cuihua stopped exclaiming and scolding him. Before Zhao Jin could ask, He Cuihua said anxiously: "These two confused people don't know when they offered some old mothers in the yard. They received the ghost sachet and took all the monthly money they received to burn incense."
After explaining this, He Cuihua became angry again and turned around and continued, "Zhao San's illness has been cured. He has survived it himself. It is not for anyone to bless you. If there is a god who really protects you, how could you escape to Xuzhou City?"
The more he spoke, the more ruthless he became, and Zhao Sanliang couldn't even raise his head. Zhao Jin interrupted and asked, finally understanding what was going on.
