"There is Shen Cunzhong's house ahead, go and have a look." Wang Ju said.

But Wang Ju didn't come to visit Shen Kuo simply.

The group came to Chen Mansion.

Shen Kuo immediately opened the middle door and grandly welcomed Wang Ju in.

In ancient times, the doors of noble families were very particular, divided into middle doors and corner doors. People with low status, such as servants in the mansion or relatives of subordinate families, would only open the corner doors to let them in. People with formal identities but lower identities would open the middle doors to let them in. However, this middle door would only open a small gap. If the status is similar, then the middle door would be half open. If the status is very high, all the middle doors would be opened.

If you are sneaky and afraid that people will see you, you will ask for a look through the back door, so you are called "Going to the back door".

Wang Ju felt disgusted, so he changed the door of the mansion and blocked the corner door directly. Then, the middle door was opened all day long, whether it was an official visit or a servant, all the middle door was opened.

It doesn't matter to ordinary people, but some extremely conservative officials are undoubtedly very repulsive of this.

Or as Wang Ju himself said, he and Sima Guang and Wang Anshi are three different types of people, and they are destined to have serious conflicts. Even if Wang Anshi and Wang Ju theory are closer, they will not accept Wang Ju's ideas.

That was Wang Ju, and Shen Kuo didn't dare to do this by taking the blame for the world.

Walked in.

Shen Kuo ordered his wife to make tea.

During the Chinese New Year, we first greet each other.

Then Wang Ju talked about the serious matter and asked: "Can you benefit the people now be safe?"

"It's still not peaceful." Shen Kuo frowned and said.

In order to make profits, Limin monitored workshops and created various equipment. Shen Kuo made all the pressure cookers, and people began to try to buy steam engines for irrigation.

But in general, its future profits are mainly related to the steam engine, but the cost of the steam engine is too high now, which forces it to be very expensive, and there are two fatal problems. Various technologies have not been perfected. This means that its parts are often damaged and must be repaired if they are damaged. However, it is impossible to set up a residence in various prefectures and counties for these little parts. That is, in addition to the craftsmen in Liminjian, how many people will repair this thing?

These three defects have affected its sales.

However, the banking department was constantly distributing dividends, so the shareholders of the contract shareholders kept arguing.

We can't blame them for quarrels. Many of the shareholders who joined have some background. Secondly, Liminjian is different from the banking department. The Liminjian court has almost never paid a penny, and it is completely a waste of money...

So the more you think about it, the more you feel unbalanced.

Also, Shen Kuo was so anxious that he wanted to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, so he kept bringing craftsmen to research and development. Only when larger and more perfect steam engines and related machines appeared can the railway tracks be laid at Sanmen and locomotives were used to replace human transportation.

These R&Ds are very expensive and undoubtedly share their profits.

"Brother Cunzhong. I'm here to solve these problems for you."

"Taibao, tell me."

"First, you can make it clear to them again that although the profit is indeed a bit thin at the moment, don't be too much. As long as it grows safely for more than ten years, its profit will be more than several times that of the bank. If anyone is unwilling to withdraw at any time, I will let the merchants on the other side replace him."

"Taibao. I have said its prospects many times."

"That's different. You said that I said it before, but I didn't say it deeply. I didn't explicitly allow them to withdraw. In fact, you haven't understood the reason for their noise. In fact, when it was established, I said this matter. The profit will not be much for the time being, but its prospects are extremely bright, so these merchants and gentry are all rushing to join. Why? First, it won't make any losses. Is there any loss?"

Shen Kuo shook his head, but he just made less money.

"Secondly, joining the People's Prison is equivalent to establishing a relationship with the imperial court. With this, it is extremely tempting for ordinary merchants. And is it more than ten million yuan?"

Ten million yuan is a lot, but how many rich families are there in the capital?

Only a family of ten thousand yuan can be considered a well-off family in the capital, only a family of ten thousand yuan can be considered a family of rich people, and only a family of one million yuan can be considered a family of rich people.

More than a dozen wealthy families can get all these tens of millions of dollars together.

In fact, if there was no serious investigation, if there were serious investigations, there might have been several super rich people of tens of millions of mondays at this time.

It is not as harsh as the banking department. First, it is to buy silk materials, but the time is so short, it is so difficult to buy enough silk materials. Then it is not copper coins and silk, but gold and silver must be given to join.

Therefore, it seems that the banking department is extremely lively, but the one who collected all the funds first was Liminjian.

"Why are there a quarrel? There is a saying among the people. You are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods. The main reason is that they compare with the banking department and feel unbalanced."

"Yeah yeah."

"Although they are quarreling and feel unbalanced, have they ever thought about quitting?"

"good!"

"This is the first solution, and the second solution is promotion with goals. The scope should not be too large at the beginning. It will be promoted in dozens of states and prefectures around the capital, and then recruit franchisees from these dozens of states and prefectures."

"Franchise?" Shen Kuo said a little dizzy.

"Brother Cunzhong, do you still remember how bamboo paper and snow salt were sold? In fact, it's almost the same. Those who are interested will go out of the residence and Liminjian sell parts to them and train repair personnel for them. If the machine breaks, some parts are sold and some people repair them, will the buyers still have any concerns? Moreover, Liminjian continues to sell parts and can make some profits."

"Yes, this is a good idea."

Although they are indeed very expensive, they are very efficient. Think about how long it takes to use a hundred acres of land to irrigate by manpower. And manpower really doesn’t cost money?

Ordinary people still can't afford it, but some large households often have arable land that reaches thousands of acres and tens of thousands of acres. Undoubtedly, these machines are the best choice.pbtt

"The third solution is travel agencies."

“Travel Agency?”

“It’s starting to make a profit.”

The travel agency has also run it for several years, but has not distributed dividends in recent years, but has been investing its profits continuously. Now it has more than 400 inns and nearly 300 restaurants. The reason why there are fewer restaurants than inns is that in some small county towns or small towns, it is not cost-effective to set up a single restaurant, so the restaurant and the inn are connected together. At the same time, a large number of boats, cars and horses have been purchased.

In addition to the main line, there are dozens of branch lines.

However, there are still very few people who choose "national travel". Most of them choose medium and short-term tourism, such as starting from Hangzhou and looking at Jiangning, which is good. You can go back. Or go a little further, go to Jiangzhou and take a look at Lushan, and go to Jinghu South Road to take a look at Hengshan, and come back quickly.

But its appearance does bring many positive meanings, such as some of the economy and broadening everyone's horizons. Just like Lingnan and Yunnan, it is mysterious and fearful in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains. However, as some tourists go, this veil is pulled down, which is undoubtedly conducive to civilized communication.

Wang Ju also did one thing. Last year, more than a dozen tourists from all over the country who visited the capital in Beijing returned to the capital in autumn. Wang Ju summoned them to the middle gate and asked about the situation in various places.

The year before yesterday, the infrastructure was built nationwide. How effective was it? I only heard the reports of local officials.

Although tourists and their group have chosen routes, first, they need local security, especially public security, and second, they are relatively developed areas, listening to the opinions of these people is also a supplement. Do you really want to see or hear them at all?

This is also a function.

Because it has gradually gained fame, it has also started to charge fees. However, this fee is still very low. The main source is the profits of inns and restaurants and the sales of handicrafts in various places. However, because of the emphasis on sanitation, these inns and restaurants have gradually gained fame in the local area. Therefore, the profits continue to increase.

Wang Ju is about to leave the capital, which is the last ties, but it is handed over to the inner treasury or to the Sansi. Wang Ju is unsure of his mind.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to hand it over to the Liminjian.

Didn’t it mean that the court did not invest any capital? Now it has been released, because of continuous investment, its fixed assets are worth more than one million guan. Even if some shares in the south that were close to the powerful and powerful Song Dynasty chiefs, it has reached nearly one million guan.

Moreover, its management is relatively difficult. If it is handed over to the Liminjian, private individuals can continue to operate carefully. If it is handed over to the inner warehouse or the three departments, it may not be able to operate well.

With this profit and assets, Shen Kuo's pressure can be further relieved.

In addition, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, including Shen Kuo, all despised it.

In fact, it is really important, not only steam engines and other related machines. If you want to improve their quality, you must constantly improve the smelting and casting process. This involves not only benefiting the country, but also it can be said that it is the prototype of industry!

Only when the travel agency has profits, the opposition will be reduced can it last long. Although Wang Ju goes to the other side in the future, he also hopes that the Song Dynasty can continue to flourish. Otherwise, he would not have worked so hard... And how important is the development of industry?

Shen Kuo stammered.

"Brother Cunzhong, time is like a shuttle. I will leave the capital in a few months. It's time for this travel agency to hand over."

"Thank you, Taibao." After saying this, Shen Kuo no longer refused.

"But there is one thing that please remember."

Its profit mainly comes from various inns and restaurants, including the capital city, and there are two large inns. People from the capital city run out, and people outside the capital also want to run to the capital city, which is very normal.

But the difficulty lies in this point. Accounts are prone to chaos and are easily greedy by shopkeepers.

Therefore, when it was established, Wang Ju adopted the dividend method and hired economic personnel from all over the country as shopkeepers, but instead of paying the salary, he regarded 20% of the profits of his residence as dividends as salary.

At the same time, we kept sending special personnel to check, one was the accounts, the second was the hygiene, and the third was the attitude towards customers.

Use this to urge shopkeepers to operate carefully. The better the business, the higher the income they will get. However, if they are inaction, have a poor attitude towards customers, or are not clean, they will leave one, two or three, and have nothing left. If they are greedy, they will not only lose this high-paying profession, but also send them to the government for lawsuits.

It is precisely because of this system that although there are still some loopholes, it can ensure that all industries can operate normally.

What Wang Ju instructed is this system and must not be destroyed.

After walking out of the Shen family, Qiong Niang was a little confused. After all, she was from the capital and had the deepest feelings for the capital.

Wang Ju had a relaxed face and traveled to the public. The next step was Helan Stone. In the autumn, the craftsmen and economic people in various fields would also evacuate from the Central Plains one after another.

However, this support has also trained a large number of talents for the other side.

There are banks on the other side, but without such complex relationships as the Song Dynasty, if you are tempered in the Song Dynasty, you will be more than enough to do things on the other side.

Of course, I won’t get rid of them all at once, just like a travel agency, which wants to hand over one by one, and it will last for at least several months.

As for these craftsmen and economic people, they may retreat until next year. It is impossible to completely remove them all at once this year.

If they get rid of them all, Gao Taotao or some people will be stunned in the future. Could it be that they will go to various ports to arrest various maritime merchants?

The group of people wandered around again.

Just go around blindly.

I also went to Wasili to watch the artist's performance.

They didn't go home until dark.
