When Mrs. Su saw Master Su coming back, she complained: "Zhao Ling'er doesn't know what to do all day long. Today, he dismantled the bed in their room again and insisted on building some kind of fire kang, saying that it would be warm to sleep at night. What is a fire kang?
Have you seen it?"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Mrs. Su saw that Master Su was becoming concerned, so she said proudly: "Oh, this little girl has so many tricks up her sleeves! She dressed up as a woman and was disheveled. She even took the hand stove I gave to Yi Ning and used it herself.
I made a mud bed by myself, not like everyone else at all! I see, sooner or later, Yi Ning will be implicated! Why not persuade Yi Ning to reconcile with her as soon as possible, or at least pay her a little more dowry... Hey, you
where to?"
The master stood up.
Mrs. Su also quickly followed him.
"It's late at night, they're all asleep, why are you looking for Yi Ning?"
When Mrs. Su saw that he was silent, she said, "Do you want to punish Zhao Ling'er? There's no need to wait so late. I'll call her here early tomorrow morning and kneel in the hall for two hours to make her calm down in the future."
Master Su ignored her and walked straight to Su Yining's room.
"Yining, are you asleep?"
Su Yining and Zhao Ling'er quickly stood up and said, "Not yet."
Zhao Linger walked over and opened the door.
Master Su walked in with his hands behind his back and said, "I heard that you built a fire pit in your house?"
Su Yi Ning invited her father in and said, "Yes, father, please take a look."
Master Su lifted up the quilt and touched the mattress with his hands. It was indeed very warm. He then lifted up the mattress and saw a few wooden boards on the lower layer. The bottom of the wooden boards was yellow mud filled with grass.
Master Su touched around the bed and found that the whole bed was slightly hot.
"Father, be careful!"
"hiss!"
Master Su quickly pulled his hand back from the wall.
This is a wall of fire!
"Why is it so hot?" Master Su asked.
"Father, please come and see this room."
Su Yi Ning led Master Su to the next room. It turned out that there was a stove here with a kettle on it. Red dates were soaked in the pot, exuding a sweet smell. The stove below was burning charcoal.
"Okay! Okay!" Master Su nodded and asked, "These are Ling'er's ideas?"
"Yes, father."
"Ling'er, tomorrow you will show people how to arrange our three rooms and your brother's and sister-in-law's rooms, and build a fire pit for us."
"Master!" Mrs. Su looked embarrassed.
"Let's go back, don't disturb the rest of them."
After Master Su left, Su Yining smiled and said to Zhao Ling'er, "Hey! This is the first time I've seen my father and I so close!"
"Master! Look at that Zhao Ling'er, he must have gotten carried away again! He doesn't follow the rules, which is a good thing. Aren't you taking the lead in making things difficult for me!" Mrs. Su complained.
"I'm telling you, don't be ignorant of your blessings! I think this girl Ling'er is very good. She can make money, can manage a household, and has brains. This time, Yi Ning has a sharp eye and married a good wife.
Son!"
Mrs. Su curled her lips and was about to say something, "A sneeze! A sneeze!"
"Look, why are you following me out? You're out of trouble. When Ling'er builds the fire pit tomorrow, you don't have to go out. You can sit quietly in the house and order someone to get it if you want to eat or drink.
If you have nothing to do, just read the script and don’t always make trouble for young people."
"Master, I am doing it for Yi Ning..."
"Okay, okay, I'm sleepy. Go to sleep."
After Master Su left, Zhao Ling'er remembered what he had just explained and wanted to go to the study to write some paperwork, but it was too cold and she didn't want to move.
Forget it, let's get the paper over and write.
Zhao Ling'er did the math, there are 25 advertising columns in total, and each advertising column can have 18 advertising spaces. One advertising space charges a rent of 10 Wen per day, so the income per day is 4,500 Wen, which is 135 Liang per month?
This is too much!
My toothpaste is for one year, so my annual income is 1,620 taels!
If I do it myself, I need to set up a service point. This point can be placed at Su Yixiang's place and Bai Yingxi can handle it on my behalf.
Someone still needs to patrol and post the advertisements. Merchants cannot post them randomly. They must also be on guard against someone tearing them apart and taking down the advertising boards.
This means I have to hire a security team, no, no, it would be too much trouble.
It's better to hand it over to the government.
Zhao Ling'er sighed, not thinking of a good solution, so she had to give it up.
The next morning, Zhao Ling'er walked into the state government office with the paperwork she had written last night, and happened to meet Su Yixiang, who was here to pay taxes.
Su Yixiang looked at the document in Zhao Ling'er's hand and said, "Your advertising column is a profitable business. How can it be handed over to the government so easily?"
Zhao Ling'er told Su Yixiang what he was thinking about last night.
Su Yixiang listened and said: "It does make sense. However, you can sell it to them, there is no need to give it to them!"
Zhao Ling'er said: "Can I still negotiate business with the government?"
Su Yixiang smiled and said: "Of course! The government also has expenses, and if it can bring in extra income, of course it will be happy to cooperate with you. Besides, your thing is of great benefit to them without any harm, so why not give it a try?
"
"Won't they arrest me?"
Su Yixiang smiled and said: "This is a government agency, an institution that makes decisions for the people. Why do we arrest people for no reason?"
Zhao Ling'er nodded and suddenly said: "Oh, no, no, brother, please accompany me! I get scared when I see an official and I can't say anything. You can speak for me! After the matter is completed, I will give it to you.
One-tenth commission."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be afraid of something! Let's go together." Su Yixiang led Zhao Linger into the Finance and Taxation Department.
After finishing his own affairs, Su Yixiang handed the documents to the clerk.
After a while, someone invited them in to talk.
Zhao Ling'er was uneasy and hoped that they would not be arrested if they disagreed, but with Master Su here, they should give him face!
Just listen to the man say: "Our governor has read this plan and he said it is no problem. What do you think you want here?"
Su Yixiang said: "We hope to get a commission of one thousand taels."
The man thought for a moment and said, "One thousand taels? Is it too much?"
Su Yixiang said: "Ling'er, please explain to this master the items calculated last night."
Zhao Ling'er looked at the man and whispered: "There are 25 advertising columns in total. One advertising column can earn 180 yuan a day. The income of 25 yuan a year is 1,620 taels! In the future, it will only increase every year as prices rise. Basically, it will not
decline."
"It's equivalent to a 40% discount. This little girl thought of this idea, and the advertising column and income model have been thought out for you. As long as you take over, you can make money immediately. You think about it."
The man thought for a while and said: "I will discuss it with the governor."
After a while, the man came over and said, "Girl, where are your toothpaste?"
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly took it out.
The man said: "We will take away this toothpaste. You can go to the Finance and Taxation Department to get the money later."
