Chapter 27 Main Business and Side Business
"Sir, we have discussed it."
Before even half a stick of incense had been burned, the young government servant called out the window.
Bai Yu opened the door and walked out. He looked at the government officials. They were all there and no one left. He still asked, "How many people are willing to work with me?"
The young yamen officer apologized and said, "We are all willing to follow you, sir, but we have a small request..."
It's already your honor for me to hire you, and you still make demands of me? Bai Yu frowned and said, "Let's talk about it."
The young yamen servant bowed and smiled more humbly, "We hope it can be clearly stated in black and white that each person will receive three taels of silver per month, and that the term of our employment shall not be less than one year."
That's unreasonable! You guys can't trust me! Do I look like the kind of person who cheats? Bai Yu thought about it and thought it was nothing. The one they couldn't trust was He Zhiyu. What does it have to do with him, Bai Yu? He, Bai Yu, was still spitting.
A man who is true to his word.
Bai Yu nodded slightly, "That's good. Both parties can talk openly. I agree to your request. For the sake of fairness, I also make a few small requests."
"Article 1: You should strictly abide by all the rules and regulations stipulated by this official. Anyone who violates the rules and regulations will be deemed to have given up all benefits. If any losses are caused, the original price will be compensated."
"The rules and regulations include but are not limited to the following points."
"Those who arrive late and leave early will have their wages deducted for the day; those who are absent from work without excuse will be fined three times their wages; those who are passive and slow at work will have their wages deducted by 30%."
"The number of working days per month should not be less than twenty-eight days, and the number of days off per month should not be more than three days. If the business is busy and it happens to be a holiday, you should put the overall situation first and work overtime."
"Every working time is from the beginning of the morning to the end of the hour (7 a.m. to 9 p.m.). If the business is busy, you should focus on the overall situation and work overtime."...
...
"Article 2: After the employment relationship is terminated, within five years, you are not allowed to engage in the same industry as me, or industries with corresponding competitive relationships."
"Article 3: The final interpretation right of all the above terms belongs to us."
Bai Yu stopped and said, "I've finished speaking. Are these three small requests okay?"
The government officials looked at each other, feeling confused. Although the adults have said a lot, they are all very reasonable requests. Do they still need to be said?
They nodded one after another, indicating that it was okay.
Bai Yu took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He was about to write but stopped when he picked up the pen. His calligraphy was not very beautiful and did not match He Zhiyu's handwriting. "You guys write it."
The government officials tried to write it, but their handwriting was not much better than Bai Yu's. Bai Yu had to take it into the room, and asked Tao Yulian to write it in duplicate.
After writing it, Bai Yu took it out and showed them one by one to make sure it was OK. He signed and stamped it and Bai Yu kept one copy. They all shared one copy, which was very reasonable.
Bai Yu took a look and remembered their names. The old yamen servant who impressed him deeply before was named Chang Jiuyan, and the young yamen servant was named Gu Fei.
"Okay, I'll tell you how to make money by making perfume."
What is perfume? Very fragrant water? The government officials were all confused. Chang Jiuyan couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what is perfume?"
"It's just like rouge and gouache. It's for women anyway. Women make money easily. Do you understand this?"
Bai Yu didn't explain much.
He arranged the task directly, "Gu Fei, take ten people and go to all eight counties of Jingzhao Prefecture. You will also go to the village to buy some wild flowers in categories. Don't ask why, just do as I say."
He carefully explained the types of wildflowers he wanted to purchase and their prices, "Do you remember them?"
"remember!"
The young yamen officer Gu was dancing with a smile on his face.
The adults named him to lead the team, which is obviously a sign of respect for him!
As for what the purpose of buying wild flowers is, and whether he will lose money in the end, that is not something he considers. If he loses money, it is also an adult's money.
Bai Yu took out thirty taels of silver and handed it to him, "Every expense must be accounted for. If there is any mistake, I will ask you for it."
"Yes!" Gu Fei took the money seriously, feeling the heavy responsibility.
Bai Yu waved his hand, "Go ahead and leave now."
Gu Fei left with ten yamen servants. Bai Yu took some pieces of white paper and roughly drew the blueprints for distilling high-strength alcohol and boiling wild flowers. The traditional method of making perfume was actually not complicated.
He handed the drawings to Chang Jiuyan, "Old Changtou, take the remaining four people and find some carpenters and blacksmiths to build these tools according to the drawings drawn by me."
After that, he took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to Chang Jiuyan. He felt a pain in his heart. The sixty-five taels of silver he had just received yesterday had been spent at fifty taels. It was really unbearable to spend.
However, doing business always requires costs, and these investments will be returned hundreds and thousands of times in the future.
He entered the house and gave Tao Yulian five taels of silver as the family's living expenses.
Tao Yulian was startled for a moment, then quickly put down the needlework and fabric in her hands and took them with both hands.
"I'm going out to do some errands."
Bai Yu said something to her and left the room.
He took the horse out.
He plans to use the remaining ten taels of silver to rent a shop in a good location, and the decoration must be elegant to match his local perfume.
"High-end goods" like perfume are best sold in the imperial city. There are many dignitaries in the imperial city, and naturally there are many rich women. But now he has insufficient capital, so he can only open his shop in Qifeng County first.
After accumulating funds, we can open the shop into the imperial city.
Bai Yu rode a horse and visited several main streets in Qifeng County, and finally selected a good shop.
The owner is a young man, about twenty years old. He has opened a shop at a young age. At a glance, he can tell that it is a family business passed down from his ancestors. Reincarnation is really a highly skilled job. No other technology is as valuable as reincarnation technology.
high.
Seeing Bai Yu wearing an official robe, the young man smiled and talked easily. They agreed on the price and even got a slight discount. When he signed and deposited the money, Bai Yu was surprised by the young man's name, Yuan Benchu.
After renting the shop, Bai Yu immediately hired several carpenters and plasterers to start decorating it.
This is the first store he opened, which can also be regarded as the main store. He designed it himself and patiently discussed with the masters, explaining what should be done here and what should be done there.
All branches opened in the future can be decorated according to the standard template of this store, so as to achieve the effect of "endless style".
In the next few days, Bai Yu also participated in the decoration of the store.
As for the Criminal Department, there is no need to report or go to the Ministry of Justice for the time being, and there is no need to rush to follow up on the next case.
He finished the case in just one day. This is not something worthy of praise. Other clerks are just dawdling. Doesn't it mean that he is so diligent and hateful?
So, let's finish the "main business" here first, and when I have free time, I can go to the Criminal Department to take on a case and do some "side business", just like traveling and relaxing.
