Will Ye Hua lose money?

Only Chen Shi could say this, and no one present believed it!

Needless to say, Chai Rong had seen his methods, and could turn over the stones of the Imperial Road. As for Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin, they bought a lot of useless stone tools and placed them at home. They didn't know why they became obsessed with it and joined the ranks of the shopping party in a daze.

In short, they definitely don’t believe Ye Hua will lose money!

This kid must have the trick to make money, and he can make a lot of money!

At this time, Chai Rong was short of nothing, but money. He had just gone to Kaifeng to investigate the Yingtian. The so-called Yingtian was a farmland directly managed by the Ministry of Revenue since the end of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was official fields. The court was responsible for recruiting the people to farm. The eight CDs harvested must be handed over to the court to pay various expenses.

After years of war, the Central Plains were in decline, water conservancy projects were abandoned, and the people's annual income was not even enough to pay the imperial court's taxes. Everyone fled one after another, and the camps had reached an unsustainable point.

Like cattle rent, land acquisition is also a disadvantage that must be reformed.

However, how to reform, Guo Wei's subordinates had two views. One believed that it should be sold to the people at a price, and the other advocated giving it to the people for free.

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Chai Rong went to investigate and wanted to determine which one to use. He looked around Kaifeng for a few days. The people were in poverty and helpless. There were low adobe houses everywhere, dark and dirty. The children were all black and thin, without even clothes, and they ran around with bare butts.

Not to mention children, even adults' clothes are patched with patches, and some places are exposed with meat. The food is even worse, it is worse than livestock, and almost everyone is struggling on the line of life and death.

After seeing it, Chai Rong made up his mind to the people for free and he would never squeeze him out.

But then again, if you don’t exploit the people, where can you have money to support soldiers?

In addition, the invitation to Liu Yun has been done almost. According to Feng Dao's suggestion, the throne ceremony should be held on an auspicious day. Even if you save money, the emperor ascends the throne and rewards the three armies, it will still cost millions of yuan.

Such a huge expense, I'm so worried!

"Ye Hua, I'll do it. If you don't add more food, you won't make it. Or, do you have any other way?"

Chai Rong is a shrewd person, and Ye Hua quickly laughed, "That's the one who does business, small business, hard work and wealth, and profits can still be squeezed out."

Ye Hua settled the score for Chai Rong with his fingers.

The biggest expense for doing business in Beijing was rent. Fortunately, Wang Jun gave him the property, and the expense was gone.

The second is personnel expenses, so there is no need to worry about this. Didn’t Ye Hua have 500 stonemasons? Among these stonemasons, 70% are apprentices, and not everyone is suitable for knocking stones. In the past, they were arrested, and there was no way. Ye Hua drew out a few smart and diligent people, plus some stonemason’s family members, and after a little training, it would be fine.

"Making braised chicken is not a big meal. It does not require a clever cooking skill. It requires regulations on how many ingredients you need to add and how long you stew it. Just make it a few times, and saves money on hiring a chef."

Chai Rong nodded, "Where are the raw materials?"

"This is even better. The rice was transported from Jiangnan and is not expensive. As for chickens, the village I used to live in was a raising chicken, and my uncle has hundreds of them."

Chai Rong frowned and said curiously: "So your uncle is quite rich? Then why don't he give you some good food? Look, he is as thin as a bamboo pole!"

Ye Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head. His uncle was not a good person, but there was a reason why he didn't give him food. Ye Hua explained: "Our village raises chickens for Su Xianggong."

"Su Xianggong?" Chai Rong frowned and said, "Is it that thief Su Fengji?"

"Well, it's him!" Ye Hua said: "Mr. Su likes to eat chicken, so he asked several villages to raise chickens for him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Kuangyin laughed out loud.

"I said Ye Changshi, Su Fengji is a scholar. How much can he eat? One chicken a day? There are only a few hundred birds a year. I need to get several villages to raise him? I don't believe it!"

Ye Hua looked at Zhao Da. He really wanted to tell this from the bottom of his heart that poverty limits your imagination!

"Su Fengji likes to eat chicken, but he only eats one place."

"Where? Chicken butt? Zhao Kuangyin said curiously.

Ye Hua almost burst into laughter. Please, you are also an emperor, so you have some imagination, okay? You are the only one who likes Qilixiang!

Chai Rong was also amused by Zhao Da, and he thought, "It's a chicken tongue, right?"

Ye Hua nodded quickly, "Your envoy has eaten it too?"

Chai Rong shook his head and sighed: "I have heard that Su Fengji is greedy and extravagant and likes delicious food the most, especially when he is addicted to chicken tongues. He wants to slaughter hundreds of chickens in just a small bowl. If he counts his friends, it is not impossible to eat thousands of chickens in one meal. No wonder several villages have to raise chickens for him!"

Chai Rong slapped the table hard, "It's a bargain to cut him in half, it should be cut into pieces!" Zhao Kuangyin also cursed: "Grandma, that grandson is so good at eating! You must dig him out of the grave, crush your bones and ashes, throw them into the moat and feed them to the turtle!"

Although Chai Rong was angry, he was still calm enough. He shook his head, "Liu Yun is coming to Beijing quickly, everything is safe and important, so don't be chaotic."

It turned out that after Guo Wei entered Kaifeng, the young emperor Liu Chengyou was captured by Zhao Kuangyin. The other guys, Prime Minister Su Fengji, uncle Li Ye, the emperor's confidant Guo Yunming, and Kaifeng Prefectural Prime Minister Liu Zhu, did not run away.

Guo Wei was not polite at all and executed them all, using their blood to pay homage to the dead family.

Including the young emperor Liu Chengyou, they were all killed by Chai Rong and their hearts were dug out. Of course, to the outside world, they said they were killed by Guo Yunming. They couldn't rescue them and even shed a few tears.

Now that Ye Hua said, Chai Rong suddenly felt that he was too light in his actions, and it was simply cheap for these beasts!

It’s unheard of for a chicken to eat a tongue!

Of course, Su Fengji's actions were not useless, at least it gave birth to the chicken farming industry. When he died, many villagers' chickens were sold out and could only be sold in the capital. The villagers did not understand the rules of the capital and did not know how to do business. They were often extorted by officials and thugs, which made them miserable.

It happened that half a month ago, the old lady Ye came out to buy vegetables and met a fellow villager. After chatting, the old lady talked to Ye Hua and wanted to ask him if he had any solutions.

"Our mansion needs some, but we can't eat that much. Whoever buys or who doesn't buys will cause gossip. Grandson, see if there is any way to collect all the chickens raised by everyone?"

Ye Hua rolled his eyes a little and thought of a solution, "Don't worry, my grandson will never treat the villagers badly."

...

"Eunuch, I open this restaurant, one is to solve the difficulties of the villagers, and the other is to provide convenience to everyone. Especially the brothers in the army, many of them are still bachelors, and the food in the army is not good. Everyone comes to eat openly. I will lose a few cents at most, but make everyone happy. What a great thing! Besides, not everyone is a big-bellied man, with small profits but quick turnover, and can always make some hard money. I plan to increase the food delivery business and recruit more errands, sweat and eat their own food, and be at ease!"

Ye Hua spoke sincerely, and Zhao Kuangyin was sincerely impressed by him, "Ye Changshi, no matter what, you can't lose. Looking back, anyone who comes from the army can eat will add 5 cents of rice. Who dares not pay it? Let him taste my fist!"

Ye Hua hurriedly bowed to thank him. Chai Rong asked a few more questions and found that Ye Hua was indeed not planning. He had enough food and drink, so he was ready to leave.

At this time, Chen Tuan suddenly spoke, and he said quietly: "Ye Changshi, you promised to give 500 stonemasons a home in the capital. According to what you said, small profits and high sales, and real goods, I'm afraid you can't afford a house for ten thousand years!"

Knock!

Chai Rong's steps suddenly stopped!

Sure enough, this kid hides his hand!
Chapter completed!
