Take the mall to Datang

By the way, he went back to the Yuan Family Manor, and he hasn’t been here for a long time. He still feels that the Yuan Family Manor is more comfortable than the Lan Guo Gong Mansion. He simply doesn’t plan to leave recently. After some female workers saw Yuan Shan, the problem came. Handmade leather shoes are not what these women are capable of, because many crafts require strength, such as stitching the soles and leather.

In the past, it was possible to make shoes because of the different materials of the soles, but it doesn't matter that there is a shoe factory in Lanzhou. He plans to put the rubber sole business in Lanzhou shoe factory.

When Yuan Shan came back, the people in Wulizhuang were all happy. Liu Lizheng's house has now become a deep house compound. The young villagers in Wulizhuang are all working outside and running business, while the elderly are doing small business appropriately. It is the most powerful helper, and the family's life is full of joy.

Yuan Shan had nothing to do, so he wandered around for a while and found that Wulizhuang was changing too fast. The village was very rich, but he found that the supporting services were not very good. Among the villages in the village, even Wulizhuang is quite special, the scale is only a village, but it is undeniable that the consumption power of the village.

The work of the Economic and Development Department is not doing very well, and further adjustments are needed, so I have a plan in mind.

Chapter 886

The general store must be set up in Wulizhuang Zeng, and now it is a county-level general store, which can be divided into several levels of national models to avoid loss of investment.

The abundance of materials provided by business development and the convenience of life, his joining has allowed business to develop, but the historical process does not seem to have changed much. Even if there is a difference, the history will eventually be corrected, at least it is still the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Shan was strolling outside, and it was rare to see anyone on the road now. He felt that Zhuangzi was getting richer, but he was getting more and more lifeless.

The sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and soon a carriage came oncoming.

Yuan Shan was dressed in extraordinary style, the coachman drove the carriage over and slowly stopped beside him, and someone in the carriage opened the curtain immediately and came out.

Liu Lizheng was smiling all over his face, and immediately bowed to salute after he got down, and said respectfully: "I told you about the Duke."

Today's Liu Lizheng is extraordinary, and what Lizheng does is extraordinarily comfortable. The eldest son of the family is doing sales work in the Ministry of Economics and Development. The wife and daughter-in-law of the family visited a snack shop at the entrance of the morning market in Lanhe Village. The snack business has reached the city of Chang'an. Well, he is just like a county magistrate in this place, he is extremely proud, his life is getting better and better, and his family is full of big houses with deep courtyards.

Seeing Yuan Shan strolling around, how dare Liu Lizheng get out of the car and salute immediately. He doesn't want those businessmen. Although Lizheng has no rank and official position, he can be regarded as a person in the same line as the imperial court, and he must not miss the details. .

"Liu Lizheng, your family is doing well. There are two-row horses, four-wheeled carts, and luxury versions. You can't buy them without a thousand taels of silver. Did you get rich recently?" Yuan Shan said leisurely.

"Hey hey! It's all due to the blessing of the Duke of the country. My eldest son is doing sales in a store under the Ministry of Economic Development. Not long ago, he was promoted to the shopkeeper. The income of the family is very generous. In order to facilitate daily purchases, why don't you just buy it?" I bought a new-style carriage." Liu Lizheng said with a smile.

"Well, the living conditions are better, and it's very convenient to have a horse. You just came back from outside?" Yuan Shan continued to chat.

"I went out to do some shopping. It's not about adding some things to my home. It's exhausting to go back and forth from the shopping mall in the Economic Development Zone to the shopping mall in Lanhe Village." Liu Lizheng chatted with Yuan Shan, but he was talking about family routines. best at.

"Why are there so few people in the village? I haven't seen anyone for a long time?" Yuan Shan continued to ask.

"Most of the young men in the village have gone to work outside, and they may come back once a few days, and some even take their families out together. Our Wulizhuang is a wealthy village, and the women are usually working, and they go out to do work. For small businesses, children are in school during the day, so it's normal not to see anyone," Liu Lizheng said.

"That's true. You seem to have bought a lot of things. It's tiring to run back and forth. What my father-in-law is most afraid of is going shopping with his family. That's hard work..." Yuan Shan opened the chatter box, and the two stood on the road and started talking. chatted.

"Ben Guogong decided to open a general store near Zhuangzi, so that you won't have to travel far to buy daily necessities. What do you think of this idea?" Yuan Shan carefully observed Liu Lizheng's reaction when he said the key points.

"Of course it's fine, but won't you lose money this way? After all, there are not many people left in Zhuangzi." Liu Lizheng said frankly.

"Haha, there is naturally a solution to this matter. This general store is going to let the farmers do it, so they find a place on the village and open a shop to do business. The products they sell are some daily bits and pieces. Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, tables, chairs, benches, rolling pins, curtains, etc." Yuan Shan continued.

"Doesn't it cost a lot of money to invest in such a shop? What if the business in the village is not good?" Liu Lizheng said.

"Haha, it's okay to buy less goods. Besides, it's okay to buy and sell things as long as there are old people helping to look after the shop. People in this country call this kind of shop-a small shop." Yuan Shan said the name of the shop.

"Small shop, yes, this idea is really good, but I don't know how much it costs to open a small shop to buy goods?" Liu Lizheng asked.

In fact, it is not too much. Currently, the Ministry of Economic Development is promoting comprehensive shopping malls at the county level, and the "small shop" Guogong wants to promote this model to various villages. After the first three months of purchase, it will be a trial operation. The store needs Provide the consumption situation in the local village. After three months, when the proportion of goods is adjusted, the payment should be made, and then the goods should be replenished at least once a week. The initial investment should not exceed [-] guan.

Yuan Shan told Liu Lizheng about the situation he envisioned, but Liu Lizheng said on the spot: "Master Guo, do you think the little old man is qualified for this job? Lizheng's work is now light and easy, and it's okay to start a small family in the village." Selling a shop is very comfortable."

"Since Liu Lizheng has such an idea, it's okay. You should find a good place first, and then go to the Ministry of Economic Development to register. The shops under the Ministry of Economic Development will replenish all kinds of goods at once. You need to make some preparations, such as preparing some Shelves and the like." Yuan Shan said.

"You don't have to worry about the Duke, the old man is very clear. If this is the case, I will go to Chang'an tomorrow to handle the matter. Thank you for your advice." Liu Lizheng smiled even wider, and bowed again, this is to say goodbye up.

The two parted. Liu Lizheng was very proud. Now that he had no worries about food and clothing, he thought that if he could make a living for his family, it would not be a dream for their old Liu family to become a well-known and wealthy household. He told his eldest son about this when he returned that day. In the evening, the family prepared to spend [-] guan to invest in the small shop.

As for the location of the store, it was a coincidence to build a cement room with an area of ​​more than 50 square meters in front of the newly built wall of their house, which is close to the road. A small door was opened on the wall, so that the store and the courtyard are connected. All in one, the problem can be solved immediately, and the plan will start to be implemented. It is very fast to spend money to build a cement brick house. It took dozens of people to build the house in a day. Need to wait a few days.

It just happened to be a few days to buy goods. When Liu Lizheng went to the Ministry of Economics and Development to talk about this matter, the officials of the Ministry of Economics and Development only knew about the county-level comprehensive shopping mall. Let Yuanshan still enjoy the happiness in Yuanjia Manor.

So the Ministry of Economics and Development immediately sent someone to inquire, and the originally quiet life was broken again. On that day, the living room of Yuanjia Manor became a small meeting room of the Ministry of Economics and Development. Yuan Shan discussed with everyone for a long time before the matter was settled properly.

Liu Lizheng was smiling when he returned home, because the matter had already been done.

Chapter 887 Rubber-soled Leather Shoes

A week after Yuan Shan returned to Zhuangzi, Liu's "small shop" opened for business. The whole Wulizhuang was bustling with lanterns and festoons, firecrackers blaring and gongs and drums blaring. , Zhang Lizheng invited everyone he knew around him.

There are hundreds of people busy, most of them are women and children. Liu Lizheng is quite good at it. On the day of the opening, he directly invited a troupe to sing a three-day drama on Zhuangzi, and then the peanuts, melon seeds, almonds Selling jujubes is enough. Several villages near Wulizhuang come here every day, with hundreds of people, eating and drinking, and the cost is nothing at all.

The business of the small shop was booming that day. There were daily necessities, pots and pans, especially wine for sale. In the future, you can buy bulk wine at the small shop. If you want to buy alcohol in bulk, you can also go to the "small shop" "You don't need to spend too much money when you make a reservation, because the benefit of wine sales is that the more you sell, the more money you will get in rebates.

And Liu Lizheng will also be generous and store up a large amount of goods directly at home, which will be enough at any time when there is a festival. The melon seeds in Lanhe Village are selling well, especially in places with theaters. I'm discussing the business of buying peanuts and melon seeds with Liu Lizheng. Of course, they are not stockpiling goods but selling rebates.

Yuan Shan has nothing to do in the past few days, but he comes to join in the fun every day. The stage singing is also good, but it reminds him of a drama. It should be more exciting if he performs a drama. However, although Liu Lizheng's family conditions are not bad, he still can't afford the "flash mob" Kind of drama class, performances.

Three days later, Liu Lizheng's home was bustling. He had made dozens of money before getting the principal. After discussing, they were not dazzled by the profits in front of them. Sales, so I plan to buy half of the current quantity of goods in three months, which can not only meet the needs of the village, but also meet the needs of the villages next door.

This is how Liu Lizheng accepts when he sees a good deal. He is very satisfied with the money he spent to hire the theater troupe. He is very satisfied. The small shop, a new type of small comprehensive shop, quickly spread around Wulizhuang. , It is no longer necessary to go out of the county town dozens of kilometers away to buy wine, but it is right to buy Liulizhengtun wine, because the people in Wulizhuang sell wine according to the big altar, and wine must be indispensable if you are rich. It is very convenient to buy from small shops. If a family buys a few jars, hundreds of jars will be sold out soon, and if they re-purchase, only half of them will be bought, just for emergencies.

Liu Li is just a shrewd person. There are so many people in the village who are very prestigious. He felt that the business of a small shop could not meet the demand, so he discussed with his family and decided to open the business to several other villages. The money bought a house on their Zhuangzi, and then turned it into a small shop to distribute the goods of Wulizhuang Xiaopu. It seemed that the investment was too much, but the sales of the small shop increased.

Because there are quite a lot of people in other Zhuangzi, the turnover is more than that of the small shops in Wulizhuang.

Liu Lizheng's family opened a small shop, and Yuanshan has now devoted himself to the work of using natural rubber. During this period of waiting, Yuanjia Workshop has built all the equipment and used natural rubber to make rubber. The goal of shoe soles has been achieved, the effect is very good, the production speed is relatively fast, and it is not difficult to continuously produce thousands of pairs of shoe soles a day.

However, if you want to make shoes, you need a lot of craftsmen to make them. He has already decided on this batch of rubber soles. Rare things are more expensive to take the high-end route. All of them are made into cowhide shoes for sale, with cotton insoles. The shoes are three times more expensive than the best shoes sold in Hepingfang Mall, because they are more durable and more beautiful.

Moreover, cowhide is not easy to handle. In addition to leather, high-quality cloth shoes must be processed. A layer of rubber leather is sewn on the cotton cloth surface and the thousand-ply bottom, so that the life of the cloth shoes will be longer.

"My lord, please try these high-quality cowhide boots that have just been made." The shoemaker presented a pair of shoes with extremely beautiful flower accessories.

Yuan Shan fell in love with it at first glance, and immediately put it on and tried it. It is harder than his moccasin boots, but it is obvious that the wear resistance has increased. When walking, the friction between the upper and the ground increases, making it more stable. .

"Okay, very good, but the patterns on these shoes can be carefully thought out, it's not too complicated to make, and don't make shoes into boots, it's a waste of material, divide the shoes into three types, low, medium, Gao Yao’s shoes and boots will be made into special shoes in the future, with iron plates on the toe and sole, and if they are used for mountaineering in winter, you can also embed iron nails in the sole, and I will give you the information later.” Yuan Shan said.

A kind of shoemaker has been invited in these few days. Now that he has witnessed the other party's craftsmanship, Yuan Shan said immediately without hesitation: "In the future, you can join Yuanjia Workshop. Don't worry about the treatment, you will not be treated badly. If you want Work hard and reflect your value as much as possible in your position.”

A kind of craftsman immediately bowed and saluted. From ordinary shoemakers to Yuanjia Workshop, their fate was changed, and their interests came second. In Yuanjia Workshop, they were considered first-class craftsmen in the world. There are so many top craftsmen here, and they are all enviable in the hearts of craftsmen.

The work of the shoemakers is very heavy. From now on, all the shoe shapes of Hepingfang will be replaced with rubber soles. It will take a lot of labor for them to stock up. Handmade leather shoes will not be able to be done in a short period of time.

Pattern making, sewing, rivets, leather processing, matching of decorations, sewing of insoles, thick and thin, the sizes formulated by Yuan Shan are the standard sizes of later generations, and different shoe sizes need to be stocked, especially the medium ones. Shoe size Shoes require a lot of goods, and Yuanjia Workshop devoted itself to the production of rubber shoes for a while.

Shoemakers produce shoes, and craftsmen are researching the tools and equipment for producing shoes, shoe machines, and shoe stretchers. It is used for repairing shoes, and it can also help to add soles to old shoes. All kinds of accessories are very complete. At present, only the shoes produced by Yuanjia Workshop can provide this service for the shoe repair business, so wealthy businessmen like to buy shoes produced by Yuanjia. A pair of new shoes are guaranteed for three months, excluding normal wear and tear, as long as there is any problem with abnormal wear and tear, they can be replaced within three months.

As soon as there are a dozen advertisements, the price of the goods in Hepingfang Mall will triple, and it will immediately become the focus of Chang'an City. Moreover, the new-style leather shoes are displayed on rows of glass cabinets, which can be seen at a glance. extraordinary.

Chapter 888 Rubber Shoes Sold Out

As soon as the rubber-soled shoes came out, the tabloids of the Tang Dynasty wrote about the matter among the news on the headlines, and invisibly advertised the new shoes.
