Liu Mingqi discovered that this time, the "jail" was just like coming to the clan's house as a guest.

Except for not being able to leave the clan's mansion, he and Liu Mingjing can walk around at will during the rest of the time.

The clan mansion is actually quite busy on weekdays. King Su’s eyes cannot get sand. Many of the children of the clan who have violated the law will be arrested.

For example, Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing saw more than a dozen small courtyards detained many children from the royal family.

Even in that kind of serious prison cell, there are dozens of royal family members.

Those who are thick-skinned even greet the two of them directly.

"Brother Qi! Brother Jing!"

"Oh, you are all back! Congratulations!"

"Brother Qi, let's invite you to dinner after I go out. Let's talk about business!"

"His Royal Highness, can you tell Prince Su? It's too cold here, so give us an extra oven..."

“…”

Look!

You can tell from the tone of these people that the clan mansion is not that scary.

Although some people were beaten to cry, most of them were actually just detained and confined.

After all, after Taizu's restrictions, the Imperial Capital Mansion was always the head of the Legal family, and their edges had long been smoothed out, and most of them dare not do anything that was harmful to the world.

Some minor sins and evils are acceptable.

Moreover, since last year, the Prince Yu Mansion organized a spider web sales model for the children of the royal family. In which 10% of the profits of everyone's business were distributed to the middle and lower-level royal families, so that everyone's life could be better, so that there would naturally be even fewer crimes.

Although business in many places has stopped due to war this year, the output of various materials is increasing, so it should be able to be evenly matched.

After a year or two, Liu Mingqi believes that she will make more profits.

It was precisely because he remembered the "Rule Family Dividend Relief Fund" that Liu Mingqi asked Chi San to bring this year's account book and summary of various businesses from his home.

Writing a business summary is the management method that Liu Mingqi taught to Princess Yu.

Not only Princess Yu has to write it herself, but the supervisors below have to write it once a month, and then the semi-annual and annual reports will be more detailed.

Only in this way can we see how many mistakes or successes are made, and then summarize the experience and lessons, so that production and sales can be taken to the next level.

Liu Mingqi has not been able to see the summary in the past few months, but judging from the past situation, this kind of self-summary and reflection written is quite useful.

Let’s talk about the one that Liu Mingqi is most concerned about recently.

Honeycomb coal.

It is late September and early winter is coming. The weather in Imperial Capital has become a little cold, and people usually wear thick clothes.

Therefore, at this time, the amount of honeycomb coal consumption will increase significantly.

Oh, I forgot to say something.

On the way back to Beijing, the Western Qiang, Uighurs and Qiyan all withdrew their troops one after another.

Qiyan doesn't have to worry about withdrawing his troops.

They were originally outside the territory, so Dakang just restored his previous defense line and did not make any other moves to find trouble for the Qiyan people on the wide and cold Qiyan Plateau. That was asking for trouble.

The retreat of the Western Qiang and Uighurs was much faster than when they came.

In fact, according to the information of spies and scouts in the northwest, they started moving things in July and August.

All the food stored in the place they occupied, various weapons, various porcelain and iron supplies, etc., and even the food of the people during the season, they harvested them cleanly.

To describe it in one sentence, they occupy most of Gansu, which is completely blank.

In addition to those residents who have already retreated to the mainland, those living Gansu villages and towns have lost almost everything and urgently need the rescue of the court.

Not only were they, Yinchuan, Jiayuguan and other places that had been besieged for more than three months, were consumed very heavily. Dakang must take advantage of the heavy snow to send them the goods as soon as possible before the road was closed.

Of course, grain is the first element, and then it is honeycomb coal.

In the northern border areas, the weather is extremely cold. Only with honeycomb coal can there be temperature and make everyone feel more comfortable in winter.

Therefore, as early as August, when the imperial court saw that the offensives of the Western Qiang and Uighurs had weakened, it had already begun to place large quantities of honeycomb coal orders.

There are 5 billion orders for honeycomb coal in the northwest region.

At first glance, many.

But you have allocated so many people and the soldiers to consume more, which involves two or three months. Five billion is not a big deal.

For their dosage, not only are the two honeycomb coal workshops in the Gyeonggi area starting horsepower production, but also the honeycomb coal workshops in Weiyuan, Sichuan are also catching up on time to supply them.

Sichuan has the best luck this year. Before Nanzhao, a guy who is strong outside and works on the other side, he was beaten by Sichuan Governor Zhang Zizhe and Guizhou governor Su Xiaosong, and escaped back without any attacks.

Afterwards, Su Xiaosong personally led more than 30,000 soldiers to slaughter two of their cities in one go, killing and capturing hundreds of thousands of local people, which shocked them so much that they did not dare to move for several months and did not dare to let one of them go.

This is also an important reliance for the 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Sichuan and Guizhou to firmly defend southern Gansu and prevent the Uighurs and Western Qiang troops from exceeding half a step.

It is precisely because Sichuan's political situation is very stable that their production and life are not affected.

Although the new Southwest Governor Pan Hongmao is not good at war and is somewhat conservative, it is okay to do people's livelihood.

He knew that the whole world was now in ruins, that is, Sichuan and the two lakes in the middle, Jiangxi and Guangdong and Guangxi were not affected by any influence, so by the end of the year, Sichuan would definitely need support.

Therefore, while actively preparing grain, he ordered the honeycomb coal workshop in Weiyuan to speed up the rapid production, and how much it can be produced.

In this way, not only did they deliver the honeycomb coal from the Xikang border fortress early, but now there are still 3 billion honeycomb coals that can be sent to the northwest at any time.

Here, the 50,000 Sichuan troops led by Zhang Zizhe had just returned, and the 3 billion honeycomb coals there were directly sent to Jiayuguan, Yinchuan and other places on the front line in the northwest.

The honeycomb coal workshops in the Gyeonggi area and the Xinye honeycomb coal workshop are also stepping up their efforts to produce.

They not only want to prepare for the northwest for the Gyeonggi region themselves, but also for the northwest, Shanxi, Hebei, the two lakes below, and the three northeastern provinces.

However, because Liu Mingqi agreed to Liao Shicong, he quickly sent thousands of capable workers to Tangshan and Chengde to open two honeycomb coal workshops. Now that it has almost begun to prepare for production, it can supply honeycomb coal from Hebei, Liaoning and Shandong.

There are also two honeycomb coal workshops in Jiangnan, which also undertake the heating, fire and cooking supply throughout Jiangnan.

Liu Mingqi is really cruel. No matter which area you are in, as long as you are not too far from the honeycomb coal workshop, you will only be honeycomb coal with two or one in two ounces.

For example, in Jiangnan, including the three major provinces in Jiangnan, even in the mountains that are too remote, the freight is only three cents per person. There are subsidies in remote areas, and the ex-factory price is two cents. In this way, these honeycomb coal dealers can make money by adding freight.

If these people want to transport them to other places, such as selling them nearby, then Prince Yu's Mansion also encourages reporting. If you find such a person, you will not only be fined directly, but you will also be thrown into the prison for two or three years without any discussion.

Governments in various places also support this.

Not only because this is the business of Prince Yu’s Mansion, but also because they also support this kind of livelihood that cannot be raised.

In winter, eating and warming are the most important two links.

Once these two basics are met, there will be no large-scale casualties.

Otherwise, the court would not hold the blame, and once there was an uprising or something, they would even ask for trouble.

Besides, there are so many things that make money. Is it interesting to make this article and two articles on this honeycomb coal?

But then again, for Liu Mingqi, the money earned too much at the honeycomb coal workshop.

The gross profit margin was 25%, and the net profit reached 15%. Now, more workshops have been added, and various technologies and management are becoming more and more proficient, so the net profit actually grew, and at one point it reached 20%.

By this calculation, the total output of honeycomb coal this year is expected to be 60 billion pieces. At the price of two cents, the net profit is 24 million taels of silver!!

Seeing the budget, Princess Yu felt a little dizzy.

So when Liu Mingqi was in Jiangnan, Princess Yu, who was doing the second half of the year's general plan, sent him a document, specifically asking what to do with so much money!?

Liu Mingqi knew very well that too much money would be a hot topic.

Not to mention the richest man in every country in the world, not to mention the richest man in our country.

Therefore, it must be done without leaving any trace and not to make people jealous.

Therefore, there was no way, Liu Mingqi could only suggest to her mother that the treatment of these workers would be increased again.

Not about wages.

The average salary of 100 million a day is 50% more. If it is night shift, it will cost at least four taels of silver in a month.

For a worker who works in three shifts and only works for four hours a day, this is obviously very high. If it is high, it will seem unreasonable and will cause a lot of conflicts.

For example, now many landlords in Xinye are already clamoring, saying that the honeycomb coal workshop is competing with them for people, and the people like to work in the workshop and are unwilling to rent and plant their land.

If you add five taels of silver a month and six taels of silver, then the early industrial revolution will come.

At this time, the industrial revolution is not suitable. It is the best time to wait until the political situation becomes more stable and the people at least have no worries about food and drink.

Liu Mingqi doesn’t want any “sheep eat people” on this land of China.

If you can't process money, you can only get a bonus.

The treatment is very simple.

On weekdays, they would eat and drink in the workshop and take some home for their family to eat, which is a great benefit.

Now every worker in every workshop can bring twice as much food home from July. In addition, according to the level, the lowest front-line workers will be given three feet of fabric, ten kilograms of pork and one kilogram of salt each month as long as they can complete the task smoothly.

If it is the number one team, the reward will be doubled!
