Transmigration of the bastard lord

Chapter 59 The first step in the low-end market of King's Landing

After the concubines returned, many rooms were vacated in the stone house.Madam Rose was not very happy for several days, but Fu Youguang couldn't comfort her.

There were too many things to do on the farm, and Mrs. Rose quickly got into work.The farm is busy with summer planting, and it has been almost a month since the new hires have arrived, so they have to do a good job of salary verification and payment in advance; the secretaries are so busy that they don't touch the ground, and as the head secretary, Mrs. Rose is naturally relaxed no.

The old Hein Farm has about 1600 mu of land, which was previously half fallow and half planted; after Fu Youguang came, it was naturally impossible to continue this wasteful practice of bare fruit. Since the second half of May, Sa Lina organizes clearing of fallow fields where weeds are knee-high.

Drawing lessons from spring plowing, Fu Youguang drew blueprints and ordered a large number of farm tools in the city.Especially the plow. Although alchemy is advanced in this other world, there are very few technologies that are practical for people's livelihood.Even the dwarves can't afford so much iron to make a large number of iron plows.But this matter is easy to solve. The body of the plow is still made of wood, and the part of the plow is made of detachable parts, covered with iron sheets, which can be replaced on the spot when worn out.

Thanks to farm tools and more than a hundred cows on the farm, the plowing work was completed quickly.It is already June, so the summer planting work must be done quickly.Apply base fertilizer to the field after weeding and deep plowing, and plant all soybeans before June [-]th.After the alfalfa fields are repurposed to grow wheat next year, these lands will be planted with alfalfa for another year, and the over-consumed soil will basically be restored.

Now the farm is either growing grass or vegetables, and all the staple food has to be purchased; although the Earl is not short of money, it will not be a problem in the long run.

The two barons Kim Roger and Gordon Saul, after learning the regulations and rules from Vivienne, although they resisted very much in their hearts, they still couldn't bear the temptation of benefits and signed them.

According to the proportion of capital contribution, this private enterprise for external sales was officially named "Roger Saul Foods Company".Castle, the sole supplier, owns 30% of the shares, and they own the remaining 70%.After difficult negotiations, the supply price and sale price were set.Although Fu Youguang will not get too involved in the management of private companies, the food industry is different from other industries. The sales unit price and wholesale price, storage and transportation methods, and detailed regulations for employees must be carefully considered.

The earnest attitude of the earl made the two barons extremely exhausted physically and mentally. What specifications are required for food jars, what are the hygienic standards, what are the specifications of the delivery tools, the hygienic indicators of the store, and the hygienic standards that employees must meet ...

After a three-hour working meeting, the dizzy two barons could no longer recognize the word "hygiene".What's even more painful is that the selling price has been set to a dead standard, and price increases are absolutely not allowed...

Well, although the purchase and shipment prices are fixed, the benefits are still obvious.The two barons, who were in extreme pain, still couldn't open their mouths to repent.

On June [-]th, when the secretaries on the farm were having a terrible headache calculating the salaries of the newly hired workers, a store opened in the west and east quarters of the outer city of Ump.

One of the two shops assigned a lady secretary, and the two barons changed out of their aristocratic dresses and put on their uniforms to sit obediently behind the shop.What Fu Youguang needs is a man of action, he doesn't like a guy who invests some money and just sits and waits for profits.

In TOEFL's publicity on that day, the low-priced and full-flavored pickles, capers and pickles aroused hot purchases as soon as they were put out.Three days before the opening, more than 6000 catties of pickles in bulk were sold.After deducting the purchase cost, excluding the store and manpower, the share with the castle and taxes, etc., the gross profit reached two gold coins; this is the case when the tofu and bean sprouts are not on the shelves.Knowing that their middle-class family's annual income is only a few hundred gold coins, the two barons were immediately motivated.

But the reality soon gave them a blow. When the doors opened on the fourth day, a total of eight employees from the two stores refused to come to work.

The collective strike made the two barons dumbfounded. There were already people queuing up outside the shop, and in the shop, apart from themselves, there was only the secretary with the same helpless face.

Fu Youguang had expected this kind of thing to happen; when the two barons brought their hired employees to the farm to be witnessed by Ms. Nina, he had an opinion with Nina: These guys must not be able to do it down.

In this foreign world where the average monthly income of ordinary people is less than ten silver coins, one can get twelve silver coins by sitting in a shop and selling things, and three meals are provided. Naturally, the first impression is that this is a good job.

Since it is a good job, it is natural to take care of those close to you. After all, people have selfishness.Therefore, the people recruited by the two earls were either the children of the family, or those who were related to the children of the family. In short, they chose relatives to hire.

But it would be naive of them to think of working in a shop as an easy and easy job.

Lord Earl set the price very low just to enter the low-end market.Eight copper coins a catty of pickles, no matter how tight the money is, a bowl of two copper coins can be used as a day's side dish.Among the guests who came to the door, there were also a lot of people from this bottom class.Think about it, you have to receive hundreds of thousands of such guests in a day, and you must be enthusiastic, enthusiastic, and patient in accordance with the work regulations. Resistance... How to get pickles from the jar has detailed regulations for each step. If you want to hide behind to rest or chat with your companions and ignore the guests, you will be scolded by a woman with eyes; Lice are not employees who are too poor to live on, so how can they accept it? !

In short, Fu Youguang, the more he knew the people in this other world, the more painful he became. He was not at all optimistic about the two barons choosing their relatives to hire the selected employees.But he can't point fingers and say that these people can't do it, and recruit people who are not related to you and can suffer; so the two barons have to let the two barons experience the harm brought by turning the enterprise into a family model up.

The two barons who only sit in the shop and occasionally come out to help when there is a lot of people have to bite the bullet and go to the front line.After receiving a steady stream of low-level customers all day long, with smelly clothes, a bad smell when they opened their mouths, and they had to be careful when they took out a few copper coins, they finally understood how painful it is to make such money. up.

Baron Gordon Saul, whose ancestors were once wealthy, was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak when he returned to his home that day.His wife is still complaining to him, her natal nephew almost fainted from exhaustion after working in the baron's shop for three days, and her sister-in-law came to the door today to accuse her of being harsh; , and asked her nephew to change to an easy and easy job so that she would not lose her head in her natal family.

"The group that gets something for nothing is a burden to progress." This sentence suddenly appeared in Baron Sol's mind inexplicably.When I was listening to the Lord Lord's work meeting on the farm, I once heard the Lord Lord say such a sentence inadvertently.At that time, he just thought this sentence was a little new, but now he has personally realized the connotation of this sentence.

At dinner, Gordon's concubine politely offered to get the Baron's bastard to work for Roger Saul Foods.It's just that if the helpers who sit in the shop and sell things can get twelve silver coins, they should also let their bastards earn some pocket money, right?Gordon, who has only one wife and one concubine, has one legitimate son and three concubines.The decline of the family has made life difficult for the sons. Since the business in the store is so good, they should not forget their own family.

Gordon silently looked at his pampered wives and concubines, and thought of the lord's women in his mind.If Mrs. Rose, Ms. Selina, Ms. Shemier, Ms. Sally, etc. stand with his wives and concubines, it is impossible for people to believe that those plain-faced and plain-dressed ladies are actually the identity of the entire Hyderside territory. Most noble ladies.

Chewing the dry bread and drinking the vegetable soup with a unique flavor after adding pickles, Baron Gordon Saul gradually became ruthless.

The next day, Gordon brought his wife, concubine and three concubines into the store, first bowed seriously to the secretary, and asked her to manage his family as ordinary employees, and if they made a mistake, please use the most severe words to reprimand ; Then he asked his wives and concubines and sons to listen to the secretary's words with a straight face, and threatened his wife with the words "Miss secretary is the lord's right-hand man" so that she would not reveal her identity as a baroness oppressive.

Miss Secretary nodded without hesitation. She was used to seeing distinguished ladies on the farm, so it was nothing to instigate a baroness.

As a result, the wives and concubines of the two barons and the three noble children, the oldest not exceeding 19 years old, spent the longest day.

The next day, the baron's wife lay in bed moaning, announcing that she was seriously ill; the baron's concubine continued to work in the shop for the sake of her sons.Two days later, the youngest son couldn't bear the hardship, so he simply ran away from home...

In modern society, it is very common for a rich man with a family fortune of hundreds of millions to help the decoration workers while supervising the renovation of his shop; Relying on class privileges to exploit others, enjoying a life like a pig waiting to die.

The first batch of [-] catties of pickled food entered Anpu City, which brought a big impact to the vegetable basket market in Anpu City.But for big shots, there is no point in paying attention to this matter.Eight copper coins per catty of pickles?Will the lord do business?Except for those poor ghosts, which decent people would be willing to touch such cheap goods?It's just self-defilement!

Well, the aristocrats who just feel that there is a wonderful flavor in the recent soup will not believe that pickles have also entered their kitchens.

The big men and big bourgeois may only use their nostrils to despise the prodigal lord who doesn't know how to manage money, and the petty bourgeois who run farms and sell seasonal vegetables will have a headache.A large number of vegetables are unsalable, so they can only deal with them at a lower price; they are looking forward to the damn Roger Saul Foods selling out of stock, and then watching several carriages carrying a full load of vegetables more than ten days later. The jar entered the city...

From June to July, in just one month, the overall price of the vegetable basket market in Anpu City has dropped by nearly [-]%, and the wealth of the petty bourgeoisie in related industries has shrunk severely; facing the ever-decreasing prices of seasonal vegetables, they wish they could do it with their own hands. Rip Kim Roger and Gordon Saul.

The two barons Kim Roger and Gordon Saul were crazy about it. Not only were the pickles in bulk sold all over the city, but a lot of pickles in altars were also sold to the Adventurers Association.In just one month, nearly 20 catties of pickles were sold. After deducting costs and taxes, each family received nearly [-] gold coins.This is only a preliminary stage, and the market has not yet broadened.

It was Borg's vice-captain who put them on line with the Adventurers' Association. After learning that they could do business with such a giant, many people who usually looked down on their family began to walk to their house.Now the vegetable field of Hein Farm has reached more than 300 mu after two expansions. The secretary told them conservatively that the next supply can provide 40 catties at a time.When sales channels are not a problem at all, getting one more supply means earning more money; thinking of the prosperous future, the two barons can laugh out loud in their dreams.

Of course, the two barons also had some regrets.There are rigid standards for bulk selling and wholesale. If the wholesale volume reaches a certain limit, it must be temporarily suspended.That is to say, they can't get out of the "hard work" of bulk selling, and make batches of goods for others to sell, and it's an easy idea to make a difference among themselves.

When signing the contract, Fu Youguang set the terms of cooperation to be extremely strict, and he would not expect the businessman to have a conscience at all.If you pour your hands several times in the middle, no matter how cheap the people's livelihood products are when they leave the factory, they will not be affordable.Now a large number of pickles are being suppressed, and the profits of petty bourgeois farmers and manor owners have been greatly reduced, but in Fu Youguang's view, those people's livelihood resources should be cheaper.

In the next step, Fu Youguang will also supervise the opening of Luo Jie's and Sol's stores in towns and villages, so as to truly achieve direct sales to the grassroots.If these two do a good job, after the farm's own soybeans are planted, bean sprouts and tofu can make their family business even better, and other related agricultural products can also give priority to them; in short, the olive branch is extended, it depends on their work how's it going.Now the other six families that traded pasture with the farm are running more and more diligently, and Fu Youguang has a backup candidate in his hands.

At the same time that pickles were widely promoted, another low-cost, simple-crafted livelihood item also spread from Hein Farm, slowly spread to the surrounding free folk villages, and appeared in Anpu City.

This kind of cost is almost no, and the production method is so simple that a normal IQ can be learned in three days. The people's livelihood product is called: straw sandals.
