Chapter 36 Fenggong Building
When the shopkeeper's three people escaped, Liu Chu had already asked Shi Changyun to secretly stare at them, just to see who they had contacted. These people were likely to be former members of the Earth Demon Group of the Evil Sect.
It is almost impossible to expect the three of them to give out the names of the accomplices in the utility room. Even if they really write it out, just like the shopkeeper's three people thought, Liu Chu didn't know whether it was true or not, so Liu Chu had already changed his strategy and deliberately let the three people go, trying to sprinkle them as bait to see if the others could be dug out.
The next morning, under the leadership of Shi Changyun, Liu Chu went to the government office and changed the industry of Jixiang Ju Restaurant to Liu Chu's name.
Because Shi Changyun came forward, Shi Changyun was a retired general and had a good personal relationship with the people in the Xing'an City government. In addition, Liu Chu had complete procedures and brought all the agreements that the shopkeepers had written, so it was quickly completed.
Of course, Liu Chu still stuffed a few small red envelopes out. After all, if there is any trouble in the restaurant in the future, it will be solved by the government on the spot.
Those officials even praised Liu Chu for being sensible, patted his chest and promised that if you have any questions, they would call them. Even for the sake of your adoptive son of Shi Changyun, you should not stand by and watch.
There are actually not many people who know Liu Chu's identity. He doesn't deliberately say that those who really know his identity are Mu Qing's circle and the people above. At this stage, he doesn't want to be disturbed. After all, the identity of Liu Zhanguo's son is still too ostentatious.
Therefore, Liu Chu and Shi Changyun discussed and claimed to the public that he was Shi Changyun's adopted son. First, he could cover up his identity, and second, he could have the title of Shi Changyun's adopted son, so he could run a restaurant much smoother. Shi Changyun is still a well-known figure in Xing'an City, and everyone gave him some face.
After leaving the government, Liu Chu couldn't wait to go straight to Jixiangju Restaurant. He had to spend a few days to reorganize the restaurant. The first thing was to change the employees inside and investigate everyone's foundation. If you can stay, you can leave them and give them money to get out of here if you can't.
Liu Chu is now a small boss. When the shopkeeper ran away, he only took away a lot of silver notes. He didn't take away the gold, silver and a small part of the jewelry. He also had a few thousand taels of silver. Even if he was not good at managing the business in the past few months, it would be fine if he lost money. If he had this money to last for a while, he would just use it to practice.
The only thing Liu Chu regretted was that he forgot to search his body last night and plundered the silver notes from the shopkeeper and the others. He was too careless and warned himself that he would search his body and pull out valuable things first.
The restaurant has three floors and is not small in size. There are seven eight-immortal tables on the first floor, eight private rooms on the second floor, and five large private rooms on the third floor. The entire restaurant is full, and it is not a problem to accommodate about two hundred people.
Currently, there are twenty servants from the hall, eight staff members in the kitchen, and a accountant, totaling twenty-nine.
After screening, Liu Chu found that these guys were not very good at character, so he directly opened twenty servants, and six of them in the kitchen were fired. Only one chef, one side dish, and one accountant. Liu Chu made up for their three-month salary for the people who were fired, which was considered to be the most righteous person.
The next day, Liu Chu posted a notice for recruitment. He thought that someone would only apply for the job tomorrow, but after only half an hour, someone came to apply for the job one after another. An hour later, there was a long queue at the door, all of whom were here to apply for the job.
Liu Chu pondered for a moment and told everyone to go back and prepare a personal resume, write down his basic information, and also have the jobs he had done before, simple kinship, whether he had any bad habits, whether he had done anything that violated the law, etc.
Liu Chu felt that recruiting people requires caution. He did not want to attract some borers. After all, this was his first industry. If he grows bigger and makes enough money, he would buy a few houses in Chang'an City and take all his mother and the big guys from the orphan village to take care of them.
On the third day, many people came to apply for the job with paper in their hands, with basic personal information on it. Liu Chu accepted all the people, and then asked them to wait outside.
After Liu Chu personally read the resume, he brushed off a large number of those that did not meet the basic conditions. For example, this one was called Liu Susu. He had done the work of managing the water transport terminal warehouse, but later he left. The reason for his departure was also covered up. At first glance, he was fired by someone who was not clean and his hands were fired. Such people must not be asked for it.
In the end, Liu Chu left behind twenty-five resumes, and these people were his recruitment targets.
Liu Chu called twenty-five people in for an interview one by one. He was very satisfied with the first interview. He told several people to go back and wait for the notice.
Afterwards, Liu Chu asked Shi Changyun to investigate the details of these people. Shi Changyun still has a very strong network of contacts in Xing'an City. In just half a day, he found that the basic situation was similar to what Liu Chu talked about, which made him very happy.
At the same time, he asked Shi Changyun to investigate the people he had brushed off to see if they really had bad records. As expected, the person who used to manage the wharf warehouse was fired because he had been stealing goods from the warehouse for many years.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Liu Chu called these people, and all twenty-five people were hired. The youngest was only fifteen years old, and the oldest was fifty-six.
Among the twenty-five people, twenty are the waiter, and five are the back kitchen, three chefs and two side dishes.
The wages given by Liu Chu are five taels of silver per person a month, and everyone can get dividends, and they are paid at one percent of the restaurant's net profit every year.
This made everyone very happy. You should know that Chaoyang Building, the largest restaurant in Xing'an City, has a monthly salary of only about five taels of silver. They are actually the same amount, and there will be dividends at the end of the year! In other words, their wages are higher than those in Chaoyang Building!
One tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend a month safely and safely, and five taels of silver is already so beautiful that their lives are already bubbling.
"Five taels of silver? Is it high?"
In the room, Liu Chu and Lu Youwei were playing chess again. When they heard that the wages given by Liu Chu were so high, Lu Youwei frowned slightly, but the skill in his hands did not stop and moved a chess piece very scoundrelly.
Liu Chu rolled his eyes, but ultimately said nothing.
"You will raise them like this. If you increase your wages in the future, you will increase your salary by ten taels? You will lose to you!" Lu Youwei said, moving another chess, but his face did not blush and his heart would not be beating. It seemed that it was normal to regret moving the chess.
"At first, I want to show my goodness. As a boss, I can't deduct too much. Soosh. I've calculated that the restaurant has done it, and the daily revenue will not be less than fifty taels. If the cost is deducted, the net income is about thirty taels, and a month is 900 taels of silver. I'll give them five taels of wages each, twenty-eight people, and only one hundred and forty taels of wages a month is not too much. I can make some money."
"Second, aren't you known as Lu Banxian? You always do it yourself, why am I so high?"
Liu Chu knocked out Lu Youwei's hand that wanted to regret chess. It was only three things. It was already very worthwhile to let him move chess twice in one game.
"They are all descendants and family members of the soldiers, and some veterans." Lu Youwei insisted and regretted another move, which made Liu Chu curse in his heart.
However, he said calmly in his mouth, "Yes, they are all related to soldiers. Do you know how much money a soldier in the Great Wei Dynasty is for a month?"
"The 81 guards in Jiuzhou have a monthly salary of two taels, and the family tax is exempted, and a household tax is distributed. The border soldiers have a monthly salary of four taels, and the family tax is exempted, and a household tax is exempted, and a household tax is distributed. The government has a free plowing cattle. When the plowing cattle is old, you can replace a young and strong one for free."
"The monthly money of the imperial soldiers is 2 taels, and the family tax is exempted. The monthly money of the soldiers in various places is 2 taels, and the family tax is 2 taels."
"Yes, two liang, four liang, two liang, two liang, I will double the average number and give five liang, isn't it high? After all, I don't have land to give them, and I can't reduce taxes." Liu Chu said, and he patted Lu Youwei's hand that was planning to regret the chess, and glared at him.
Lu Youwei withdrew his hand, remained silent for a moment, and nodded, "It's not high, it's what they deserve."
"Jiang Shilin, who was fifty-six years old, joined the army at the age of sixteen, was injured on his leg at the age of twenty-eight, became a chef, who was a soldier with the army until he was fifty. It can be said that he served two emperors and also paid thirty-four years of youth for the country. It was a long time for him to join the army."
"Fan Daxin, who is 28 years old and joins the army at the age of 16, was cut off half of his foot by the enemy at the age of 23, and his other leg was seriously injured. He was unable to move for life and did not even have the qualifications to be a keen man. Now he has retired and receives a subsidy of five taels of silver every year."
"But if I remember correctly, according to the laws and regulations of the Great Wei Dynasty, it should be one tael of silver per month, and twelve taels a year. During the Chinese New Year, a large amount of daily necessities will be given, and the taxes at home will be reduced by half."
Where did the remaining money that was not given? Liu Chu didn't want to say it, but he could guess that Emperor Chen Fengxian of Wei was a wise ruler, but his regime has not yet been fully controlled, and sometimes he is powerless.
"Ma Dekang is fifteen years old, his father died in battle when he was six years old, his grandfather died in battle when his father was twelve years old. The eldest uncle of the family died in battle when he was seven years old, and the second uncle died in battle when he was eleven years old."
"He is the only male left in the whole family. Ma Dekang is determined to join the army when he is sixteen years old. It was his mother and his aunt and second wife kneeling on the ground and begging him, which made him give up this time. If he dies, the Ma family will be completely cut off from behind!"
Liu Chu took a deep breath and calmed down his mood. In the past sixteen years, the Wei State was not peaceful, but the soldiers blocked all dangers from the country.
"However, when I come back from Aolu Academy, I will take him to the battlefield." Liu Chu added.
When Lu Youwei heard this, he was stunned and said nothing.
"I plan to change the name of the restaurant, and change it to a nicer one. Fenggong Building, what do you think?"
"Fenggong Tower? OK, very good." Lu Youwei nodded seriously.
