Chapter 241: Reluctantly accept(1/2)
It is precisely because they are difficult to make a decision that they are stranded in Chang'an City for so long.
At first, they only treated what they joined as a farce. However, every day, their ideas were shaken.
Among them, even the weakest Zheng family in Xingyang, there are more than one thousand clan members. If you include those dependent in-laws, this number will double. The Li family and the two branches of Cui family have started with two thousand people.
Regardless of the seniority or the legitimate and illegitimate, the pocket money of two or three thousand people each year exceeds 400,000 yuan! What about reading? What about clothes? What about banquets? What about ritual exchanges? Can you still keep your family's face without two million?
I originally thought that hundreds of thousands of gluts of land and some shops were enough for their family’s expenses. But after carefully exploring Ziweilou and Xianjufang, they realized that there was another way to make money besides the land.
But the old saying goes well: show your kindness when you have nothing to do, you are either traitor or thief. Why do you have to give up such a good way to make money? Insufficient people? Isn’t it enough for a clan to take a group of slaves? How could it be insufficient? There are so many states in the Tang Dynasty, how many clans are needed to pick out the most prosperous places to open shops? Anyway, if you leave this matter to them, they will never give up, even in-laws! What’s more, foreigners!
Although they didn't say it out loud when they joined the franchise venue, they all thought it was a conspiracy when they got together again. Both the Ziweilou and Xianjufang were all industries that made money every day. Why did they let them participate for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of franchise funds? It's a bit ridiculous.
So where will the conspiracy set a trap?
They analyze one by one.
First of all, there is the Qiweilou.
The terms of joining the Qiweilou are: 1. After paying the full franchise fee, the Qiweilou is responsible for training the kitchen. Ensure that all dishes are taught to those kitchens, and that at least two dishes are added each year; if the franchisee is willing to add these two dishes to the restaurant they operate, additional fees are required, and each dish is 10,000 yuan.
2. The taste buildings in various places must be built and decorated in accordance with the style of the Chang'an taste buildings.
3. When franchisees are operating, they are not allowed to add prostitutes and escort prostitutes to the Siwei Building.
4. Franchisees must operate in a friendly manner and do not bully customers by stores.
5. Those who violate Articles 2, 3 and 4 shall terminate the franchise relationship. After the franchise relationship is terminated, the Chiweilou shall not be used as the signboard of the wine shop.
Everyone analyzed word by word and could not find any flaws.
Let me talk about the first point first. The newly added dishes will be charged 10,000 yuan each year. However, the decision is in the hands of the franchisees, and the Shiweilou does not forcefully request the franchisees to increase.
The second article is to build and decorate according to the style of Chang'an Qiwei Building. Instead of opposing this article, they hope to build and decorate like the style of Chang'an Qiwei Building.
The Qiweilou is built with cement, which is not only solid and fire-resistant. If their family also builds houses with cement, they will be able to protect themselves even if wars recur one day.
Moreover, the walls of the Siwei Building are covered with the ceramic tiles, which are not found elsewhere.
This clause is nothing more than asking them to spend some more money.
Article 3: You must not add prostitutes and escort prostitutes in the Tiffany Building.
They can do this. If it really doesn't work, they can train some kitchens on their own and arrange them to the brothel they run. There is no need to lead the female prostitute to the Qiweilou.
Article 4: Stores are not allowed to bully customers.
Since they want to run Ziweilou, of course they don’t want to offend every customer. Only by constantly visiting Ziweilou can they recover their original investment and obtain money. Therefore, they will definitely strictly require the children responsible for the business to manage the clerks.
Article 5: If the franchise relationship is terminated, they can start a new job. The only difference is the new dishes every year. In this regard, they can communicate with each other.
From this point of view, there is no problem with joining Jiweilou.
Let’s analyze whether there are any traps to join cement.
Samurai said that not every place is suitable for building cement kilns. He needs to send people out to explore the suitable places for building kilns, so they need to wait. They can understand and afford to wait.
There are only two conditions for joining cement: if the court wants to pave the road and need to buy it from them, the price must not exceed 300 citrus per stone, and they need to deliver the goods to their door.
Samurai said that the price of cement they sold to the court was 200 cents per stone, and it was also delivered to the door.
In this way, they were not treated harshly.
Joining the production of cement is not only profitable, but they also need cement.
Their tribes live in one county at least, and at most five or six counties. The houses of so many tribes need to be built or renovated with cement, and it is impossible for others to provide cement. No one can guarantee whether the cement provided by others is solid.
Therefore, they must join the cement production.
Xianjufang...
Samurai said that in addition to soap, he would teach all the production methods of the breeding to their craftsmen. Moreover, he also guaranteed to add at least two new breedings each year. The same condition was that they would pay an additional 10,000 guan for each new breeding.
The charming house...
The conditions are similar to Xianjufang, except that the additional fee is 1,000 guan.
Originally, they didn't care about the industry that only sells dresses for women, but later they thought that the money spent on dresses purchased by women in their family every year was not less than the franchise fund for joining Wumeifang. Moreover, after joining, handing over the Wifefang to the women in the clan to run, which could be considered as finding some things for them to do.
After analyzing, they found anything suspicious.
As one of the patriarchs said: The reason why these four industries of Yongye Group can make money every day is because they have mastered craftsmanship that others do not have. Now, as long as they take out franchise gold, these craftsmanship will be theirs.
This franchise money seems to be a lot. Maybe they will have to operate it for many years to make it back, but in the next few decades and hundreds of years, these craftsmanship will earn a steady stream of money for their family. Therefore, there is no need to worry about canceling the franchise relationship, nor do you need to pay attention to whether there are any traps in it.
......
Everyone agrees with joining.
However, they were all waiting for the decisions of the Cui clan of Qinghe, Cui clan of Boling and Wang clan of Taiyuan.
After Wang Du arrived in Luoyang and Chang'an, he rarely expressed his wishes, and he seemed to be more satisfied with being a spectator. But the Wang family in Taiyuan is the Wang family in Taiyuan, and no one could ignore his existence. Moreover, he was the initiator who gathered in Luoyang last time.
Although everyone did not say it verbally, Cui Zheng and Cui Sheng are essentially the leaders of their group. If they don’t speak, it will be useless even if they want to join.
After Choi Sheng and Choi Zheng exchanged some opinions, Choi Sheng told them that they would go to the samurai place to find out the news separately. As for Shan Yunying, they did not bring their female relatives this time, and as their identity, they were not allowed to worry about anything with a woman.
Some people also suggested whether to call Yin Qingfeng, the boy, after all, he was the real owner of Yongye Group. As a result, the man closed his mouth awkwardly while gaze.
What are their identities? What are their identities? He said he was asked to come over and ask questions. To outsiders, they were bullying others by their power, or they were begging for mercy in disguise if they could not figure out the situation set by others!
So, they had no other choice than to go to the Warrior to inquire about the news. Could it be that they could still expect Li Shimin to tell the truth to them?
Speaking of Li Shimin, the clan leaders who gathered together started to talk again.
When Li Shimin was conquering Liu Heita, he wanted to gain their support.
In their eyes, Liu Heita, Li Shimin, or even the Xianbei people earlier were all passers-by here. Only they are the owners of that land.
But they did not refuse to support Li Shimin in terms of food and grass, but just avoided it. Their plan was very simple: no matter who wins, they would leave room for meeting again.
Although they avoided Li Shimin, they still need to know about Li Shimin. However, the more they know about Li Shimin and Li Tang, the less confident they will be in Li Tang.
This lack of confidence comes from several comparisons.
When Yang Guang was thirteen years old, he was appointed King of Jin and was appointed as the Chief of the State of Zhu and was later appointed as the General of the Bingzhou. Later, he was appointed as the General of Wuwei, and promoted to the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Secretary of the Shangtai of Hebei Daotai.
In the first year of Wude, Li Shimin was appointed as the Minister of State and the General of the Right Guard. He was appointed King of Qin at the age of nineteen.
Yang Guang was appointed as the general manager of Yangzhou and was in charge of Jiangdu.
Li Shimin was the General of Tiance, led Situ, the Minister of State of Shaanxi East Road, and was in charge of Luoyang.
The Sui Dynasty raised troops to pacify Chen. Yang Guang, who was just twenty years old, was the commander-in-chief. Gao Jin was the one who really commanded the entire army, and famous generals such as He Ruobi and Han Qinhu fought on the front line.
Crown Prince Yang Yong sits in the dragon court.
Li Shimin was commanded by Li Shimin and killed the enemy himself.
Li Jiancheng also sat in the dragon courtyard.
Yang Jian became emperor at the age of forty and died 63. Yang Guang became emperor at the age of 35 and lived forty-nine.
Li Yuan, fifty-two emperors...
They privately thought that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin would die, and Li Shimin had a greater chance of winning.
Once Li Shimin wins, how will he treat Li Yuan?
Yang Guang killed Yang Jian and forced Yang Yong to commit suicide.
If Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng first, then forced Li Yuan to abdicate...
Before entering Chang'an, no one was optimistic about Li Tang. But it was another ending of death in the second lifetime.
Sure enough, Li Shimin usurped the throne.
However, there has been no news of Li Jiancheng being killed.
But there is no difference. If it were them, they wouldn't have allowed Li Jiancheng to survive. Li Jiancheng's death was only a matter of time sooner or later.
Therefore, the purpose of their gathering in Chang'an was to let Li Tang know that they should not be insulted, and to let Li Tang know that no matter how long you can sit in, aristocratic families will always be aristocratic families.
After entering Chang'an, they found a difference.
In the first year of Yang Guang's succession, he recruited 2 million civil servants to build the Eastern Capital every month, which took ten months. Li Shimin built the roads, and the state treasury paid the money to exempt civil servants.
While building the Eastern Capital, Yang Guang ordered the construction of canals and dragon boats and other ships. Li Shimin requested to innovate farming and coins as early as last year.
To be fair, Li Shimin is more concerned about the people's hearts.
Unlike Yang Guang's arbitrary behavior and great success, Li Shimin was even willing to turn a reception banquet destined to be famous in history into a franchising party. Yongye Group was actually his son's son.
Li Shimin is not good at fame...
Not doing anything innocent means being pragmatic.
Pragmatism means that Li Shimin has the potential to be a wise ruler.
Li Shimin is twenty-five years old this year.
If he keeps being pragmatic like this, give him for forty years, Li Tang's country...
Cui Sheng and Cui Zheng did not participate in the discussion.
To be continued...
