Chapter 119: A Good Boss Big Week
Small money is really sweet.
Ye Hua's eyes were shining. He couldn't wait to know the situation of wooden furniture. Although it was not sold for a long time, the sales were very popular, and the deposit alone was not a small amount!
Sure enough, according to Zhao Pu's calculations, furniture has a profit of about 30,000 guan. All of them are more than 180,000 guan, which is not a small amount.
Ye Hua is not a person who has never seen money, but this time, the money is rude, and every copper plate has Ye Hua's sweat. Whether it is going to the countryside to purchase grain, establishing iron smelting workshops, making ironware, and making furniture, all of them have been devoted to it, which is a real exchange.
Therefore, how to allocate is particularly important.
In the past, Ye Hua could throw tens of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars out in order to bribe the generals in the northwest and settle the party. Anyway, it was the money from the speculation of the land, so he didn't feel sorry for him. Boss Guo also paid the bill for him.
This time it won’t work. It’s all your own money. You must think about it, you can’t be careless!
"Mr. Zhao, how do you think it should be used?" Ye Hua asked Zhao Pu's opinion.
"Mr. Marquis, I see that the Dou family is coming in full force. They reorganized the craftsmanship supervisor. There were 3,000 craftsmen alone, three times more than us. If we want to fight with them, the workshop will be even expanded!"
Ye Hua thought about it and agreed, "In this way, take out 80,000 kilns, increase the number of blast furnaces to 20, and build 50 water trucks. He also needs to hire some masters who make weapons to hand over the agricultural tools to ordinary craftsmen, concentrate the best manpower and make all his efforts to build weapons!"
Zhao Pu nodded, "I'll go and give it to you when I look back. By the way, Marquis, now the three families are competing, and the prices of iron ore and carbon are getting higher and higher. Should I stock up some first?"
"Yes, there is indeed a need to stock up. Just beside Wuzhang River, choose a place and build a warehouse, and allocate 20,000 yuan at the moment."
Zhao Pu thought for a while and said, "There is another thing. The Marquis asked me to select a division. I have recruited 200 people. The Marquis wants to prepare food, weapons, war horses... It seems that it is not a small amount of money!"
When Ye Hua heard this, his head was getting bigger.
Nothing is more expensive than raising soldiers!
Especially the elite divisions, they were even more money-making!
Taking the Gao family as an example, the family of the Ministry of Justice has to give 100 acres of land, each person is given 2 stones of grain and 3 stagnant of money every month. All year round, clothes and fabrics are required, as well as weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, and war horses!
One person is not enough, at least three people are required!
A horse can eat more than ten military men!
To raise soldiers, we need to train the farm, and to raise horses, we also need to raise horses...
Ye Hua couldn't even think about it. He would count it all. His income was not enough to waste. No wonder the Northern Song Dynasty took out 70% of its fiscal revenue to raise soldiers, but in the end he raised a lot of waste snacks. It was such a bottomless pit!
"For the matter of the department, we will recruit 200 people for the time being, and we will train first." Ye Hua took a deep breath and clenched his fists. No matter when he was, he would not be able to play without money!
He is becoming more and more eager now, and even wants to grab the order of ordnance at any cost. He can not only strengthen the workshop, but also produce high-quality weapons and arm his own troops, killing two birds with one stone!
Since being named Champion Marquis, Ye Hua has been thinking about establishing his "Champion Camp"!
If he hadn't had this intention, he wouldn't have put himself in a relaxed real estate smuggling business and went to do anything, and no one would have the hobby of being tired or suffering.
In fact, if you look closely at Ye Hua's layout, you will understand his thoughts.
The army had not moved the food and grass before it moved, so Ye Hua had to establish his own grain business and had a team to purchase agricultural products. If necessary, these people were his logistics and supplies troops.
Next, iron smelting is developed to pave the way for building weapons.
Establishing wood shops, textile farms, fur shops... These are all related to military supplies.
Ye Hua is not in a hurry to recruit too many people. What he needs to do is to accumulate strength and make it happen naturally!
When I pull out the championship camp, I will definitely be shocked to my eyes!
After paying off with Zhao Pu for a full hour, Ye Hua had less than 40,000 guan left and was free to dominate.
"Mr. Marquis, I see that the land around the capital is getting less and less. Should the Marquis want to buy some?"
Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Zhao, did you buy it?"
Zhao Pu nodded embarrassedly, "The court gave me 300 acres, and I bought another 150 acres."
"Not bad, very insightful!" Ye Hua smiled, "It's really good to buy land, but I have more important uses - go, call all the craftsmen, I have something to talk to them!"
Talk to the craftsman?
What's there to talk about?
Zhao Pu felt that Ye Hua was already very good to craftsmen.
He paid a lot of wages, and he never beat and scolded him. There are few bosses like this. What else can he do? Zhao Pu couldn't think of it, so he could only call everyone according to Ye Hua's request.
Not only the iron smelting workshop, but also the carpenter workshop, as well as the stonemason who followed Ye Huadang at first, were found, and there were more than a thousand people.
Ye Hua appeared in front of everyone, with a smile on his face, his spirit was flying, and he looked whiter and red in his lips, and he was handsome and handsome!
"Do you guys remember what did I tell you last year?"
last year?
It seems like something has happened a long time ago.
Ye Hua promised the stonemasons that they would settle down in the capital and live a good life. He also promised the craftsmen and military weapons supervisors that they would have dignity, live a prosperous life, and gain freedom.
Although something happened in the middle and Ye Hua went to the northwest for half a year, he always kept the promise in his heart. He couldn't fulfill all of it yet, so he would just fulfill part of it first.
Ye Hua has always been generous in rewarding his subordinates who performed well.
Starting a factory and leading troops is actually the same thing. You must have clear rewards and punishments to stimulate the enthusiasm of your subordinates and burst out with strong combat power.
Ye Hua's eyes swept across the dark faces. Because he worked in high temperature for a long time, the skin on his face was particularly rough and his pores were clearly visible. The hot Mars left a few scars on his face and arms, making these tough men much older than they looked. After twenty years, they could only distinguish their age from the degree of bending of their spine...,
After a moment of silence, Ye Hua said slowly: "Our workshop has been successful and the goods have been sold at a good price. There is also good news. Your Majesty is preparing to order weapons from us... Perhaps the profit of building weapons is not as high as anything else, but as long as we take over the business of the court, we will affirm our abilities and our business will grow bigger and bigger!"
Ye Hua wanted to speak more passionately, but when facing the craftsmen, his tongue was just not flexible!
He grinned, "To be honest, some of you can consider making a family."
settle down?
The craftsmen were all stunned as if they were struck by lightning. Ye Hua did say that he would give them a chance to change their destiny, but who would have thought that it would come so quickly?
Ye Hua took out the account book and announced the reward list.
The first one was an old blacksmith, a blacksmith who couldn't even speak. He was in the military weapon surveillance and told his story through the mouths of others.
Ye Hua looked at the old blacksmith and then smiled and said, "The mute man supervising the worker to build 3,000 curved plows, all of which are qualified, and rewarded 60 guan, 25 iron smelting furnaces, 50 guan, and 5 apprentices, each with 10 guan. In addition, he participated in blast furnace construction and water truck installation, solving 7 technical problems..." Ye Hua deliberately paused and said aloud: "All of them will be rewarded 300 guan!"
"In addition, the salary is 15 min of three months and the overtime pay is 15 min of money!"
"The mute man won a total of 330 coins!"
Chapter completed!
