After crossing, I spoil my husband

Chapter 125 [125] Things in the suburbs of Beijing

Because of the paving of the concrete road before, he also met a lot of people in the capital. Now Uncle Li's life is better than before in the village, and he is very happy to have met some people who share the same ideals.

"Then wait until after the beginning of spring and the ground is not stiff before paving concrete roads."

Fu Mingyou explained with a smile, because the weather is still a bit cold, we can wait until it gets a little warmer.

However, the quality of this cement road is really good. Now all the roads in the capital are cement roads or blue brick roads. Basically, there are no potholes. It will no longer be muddy on rainy days, and the people are very happy.

Moreover, Fu Mingyou found that the cement road was also very solid, and there was no problem at all.

Hearing this, Uncle Li felt a little more at ease. He did things with Fu Mingyou before. Although he was not in the capital, it was still very good. Sometimes there is strength.

Following Mr. Li to look at the cabinets in the bookstore, Fu Mingyou knew it in his heart.

Fu Mingyou looked at the old man, smiled, and said, "Grandpa, your cabinets are pretty good. If anyone wants it after the bookstore opens, would you like to take on the carpentry?"

Of course, this also depends on whether Mr. Li and the others are willing.

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do at home, but the progress will be slower."

"Don't worry about this, work slowly and carefully, and I will directly ask the shopkeeper or the waiter in the bookstore to pay attention to you."

These designs are relatively modern, so they look much more refined, which is not available in many Li countries.

Mr. Li agreed with a smile, and then Fu Mingyou didn't stay for long, and went back with the little glutinous rice balls.

"Grandma, grandpa, let's go."

Xiao Tangyuan took Fu Mingyou's hand and waved at him.

Mrs. Li smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Go ahead, if you want to eat red bean cake, tell grandma."

Xiao Tangyuan nodded milkily, then followed her father, bouncing home.

Seeing the broken heart at the corner of the other party's mouth, Fu Mingyou smiled helplessly, well, it's just a snack, and I guess he came with him because he wanted to eat the dim sum made by the old lady.

Although the little snacks ate a lot of snacks, the children digested quickly, so they also ate a lot for dinner.

In the next few days, Fu Mingyou became a little more relaxed, and His Majesty also revealed to the aristocratic families that he planned to open a bookstore. The aristocratic families were still a little confused, but when the bookstore opened, everyone was shocked. .

They didn't have any news for a day before, and no one told them that the things in the shop opened by His Majesty were very cheap.

A few days before the opening of the store, Fu Mingyou had sent people to distribute leaflets. Of course, the leaflets were printed with movable type. Now that there are such good things, of course there is no need for everyone to copy them together.

"Oh, brother Chen, do you know that there is a bookstore in Beijing."

"Yeah, I'm going now."

"Walk around, I heard that the things inside are very cheap."

The leaflets were distributed before, and everyone was surprised, and at the same time, there was a trace of doubt. Are those things really cheap?

Everyone knows that the cost of paper is not cheap, and they also know that printing books is too difficult.

When Fu Mingyou opened the store, he didn't go there. Before the opening, he had already trained Qian Weicai and the others, so he was very relieved.

There are price tags for books and paper, and they are all put aside, so that people who go in to buy things can see them at a glance, and they don't need to ask the waiter in the store to buy them.

"Sir, do you want to go over and have a look?"

On the opening day, Fu Mingyou and Xia Yanxi happened to be wandering in the street.

Smoking West knew that Fu Mingyou was preparing a store before, but the people in the capital did not know who the owner of the store was. After all, many people had inquired about it before, but Qian Weicai, who is upright and upright, spoke very clearly and would never reveal it. A little news.

"Okay, let's go and have a look, it happens that Xiaobao and Xiaotangyuan's books and rice paper are almost used up."

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile. He would also buy things in the store before. Although he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​these paper and movable type printing, he has a clear distinction between public and private, so he had to buy these things by himself.

Xia Yanxi nodded with a smile, and then followed the other party to the shop.

There are quite a few people in the shop, and everyone is watching in twos and threes. Of course, there are more students here, and there are really not many couples like Fu Mingyou and Xia Yanxi.

Since it was the first day of opening, there were quite a lot of people, but Fu Mingyou didn't use the means of promotion like the previous restaurant opening.

The prices of these things are not high, so there is absolutely no need for Fu Mingyou to lower the prices of things for the sake of popularity.

More importantly, all the money sold here will go into the national treasury, and Mu Shangshu and the others definitely don't want to lower the price.

After the two went in, they realized that there were really many people in the shop.

Even though this store has a lot of space, it still feels a bit crowded.

"Sir, let's just buy some of these."

Xia Yanxi looked around, and then selected some paper and books.

Fu Mingyou looked at the small basket in the opponent's hand, and responded with a smile: "Okay, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Because Fu Mingyou didn't know much about brushes, inkstones and inkstones, all these items in the shop came from other people's homes, but fortunately, their prices were basically the same, and it didn't matter which one you bought them from.

After Fu Mingyou and Xia Yanxi finished shopping, Fu Mingyou nodded at Qian Weicai in a bad manner, and then left directly.

The waiter in the shop didn't know about the relationship between Fu Mingyou and Qian Weicai. The waiter in the shop was asked by Qian Weicai to find him after his parents. He believed that with the other party's ability, he could definitely find a suitable waiter.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

The waiter looked at Qian Weicai and seemed to be in a daze, and asked puzzledly.

Qian Weicai smiled, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's continue selling things."

The shop waiter didn't say anything, and immediately agreed, busy paying the bills for the guests.

After Fu Mingyou and Xia Yanxi went back, they directly handed over the things to Xiaotangyuan.

"Wow, what a white paper."

Xiao Tangyuan looked at the blank paper, then picked up a brush and wrote a few words on it: "Daddy, I like this kind of paper."

It's a bit stiff, but it feels better than the previous rice paper.

"I like it next time Daddy will buy it for you."

Fu Mingyou rubbed the other party's hair with a smile, it was not difficult for him to save such paper, even if he spent a few knives a day, he didn't care.

Xiao Tangyuan nodded with a smile, and then began to write and draw again.

There is a special accounting room in the store, which Zhang Weicai found for you yourself, but Fu Mingyou has to look at these account books every month. After all, they are things that are handed over to the treasury. The people in the department read it again.

Of course, the monthly money for Qian Weicai and Xiaoer is also given by the household department.

Originally, the matter of this shop took advantage of Fu Mingyou, if he asked the other party to give him monthly money, it would be unreasonable.

Now that the store's affairs are on the right track, Fu Mingyou doesn't have much to worry about. Every time the workshop will be delivered to the store by a special person, so there is no need for Fu Mingyou to worry about it.

Next, what he has to do is to worry about things in the suburbs of Beijing.

After a few days, after resting for ten days, Fu Mingyou went directly to His Majesty.

This matter has to be discussed with His Majesty. Of course, Mu Shangshu and the others are definitely indispensable. If they disagree with this matter, he will have to spend the money himself.

"Your Majesty, Mu Shangshu, Cen Shangshu, Lord Chen... wait for a few adults to ask to see you outside."

Eunuch Lan, the newly appointed Chief Internal Officer, smiled at His Majesty and said softly.

The previous father-in-law was old, and after two generations of His Majesty, he was no longer young, so he was replaced by letting the other party go home for the elderly, but let the other party's apprentice take office.

His Majesty smiled and nodded, "Call them in."

Since they came together, there must be something going on.

After hearing His Majesty's summons, everyone went in directly.

"His Majesty."

Everyone saluted and smiled at each other.

The emperor waved his hand indifferently, and then said: "My dear friends, please set up a small table, and let some adults take a seat."

The small table immediately moved seats for several adults, and then everyone sat aside.

Although Fu Mingyou is young, since everyone has a share, it is not easy for him to stand still.

"What's the matter with the lovers?"

His Majesty looked at the crowd and smiled.

Fu Mingyou looked at the other party, stood up directly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

His Majesty looked at the other party with great interest, and said, "What's the matter?"

Fu Mingyou presented his plan and the sketches of the suburbs of Beijing to the other party, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if you take a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing, you can take care of it and make that land a place of interest in the capital." .”

After all, the conditions over there are really good.

After listening to Fu Mingyou's words, His Majesty raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then carefully looked at the other party's things.

After a long time, he looked at Mu Shangshu and the others: "My dear friends, have you read this proposal?"

Mu Shangshu and others nodded and said, "I see, we have seen it before."

His Majesty smiled and said, "What do you think the adults think?"

This plan is still very good, but there are also shortcomings.

Mu Shangshu smiled, and said: "Xiao Fu's item is still very good, but I estimate that the money invested in it will definitely exceed 300 million taels."

Moreover, this is only an expected estimate, and the specifics must be used more than this.

"Lord Mu is right. Xiao Fu's plan is very good, but it may cost a lot of money. But I have to say that if the development and utilization of the suburbs of Beijing is done as Xiao Fu said, it will definitely It will also be very profitable."

Mr. Cen was thoughtful, and then he was a little embarrassed.

The current national treasury is not enough to spend so much money, mainly because there are still a lot of expenses in the future. If we want to develop the suburbs of Beijing, it will definitely not be able to pay back the capital at once. If the money in the national treasury is used up If so, it will affect other things.

His Majesty also thought this was the meaning, and then he looked at Fu Mingyou, smiled, and said, "What do you think, Lord Fu?"

Fu Mingyou arched his hands, and said: "The adults are indeed thinking about one thing. Money is indeed a very important thing, and this project is a huge one, and it won't pay back immediately. I have an idea. Not only what should be said or not should be said.”

If there is not enough money in the treasury, it can only start another plan.

His Majesty and all the adults looked at Fu Mingyou with curious expressions on their faces, and His Majesty raised his hand directly and said, "But it's okay to say."

"Your Majesty, since there is not enough money in the national treasury, I have an opinion." Fu Mingyou looked at His Majesty, and continued: "The treasury can give some, and then the ministers can give some, and several adults can also give some money, based on the final collection. Let’s set a share with the money we have received, and we will develop and utilize this suburb together, and we can share the money together after the business opens.”

This is the best way, only in this way can the money be collected.

Upon hearing this, everyone was a little silent. I have to say that they hadn't really thought of such a method before, but it was indeed a good method.

"I think it's okay, but what do you think about it?"

His Majesty thought for a while, nodded, looked at Mu Shangshu, Chen Chengxiang and the others and said.

Chen Chengxiang looked at Fu Mingyou, and then said: "Yes, but you are responsible for this matter, Xiao Fu, how about it?"

"Of course, you can also use our people."

After all, if this continues, since every family contributes money, it must be a large share of the treasury.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, then looked at Mu Shangshu and His Majesty, and said: "I can take charge of it alone, but I have a merciless request."

"Tell me." His Majesty looked at Fu Mingyou and asked with a smile.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and said: "I have been working with Mu Shangshu's son Mu Xingzhou before. The amount of work involved is too great. I hope that Mu Gongzi can do this with me."

He really can't do it alone, and he still has a lot of things to do after the spring, but Mu Xingzhou is in the capital, and if he invests money, the other party will definitely invest money, so it's normal to do things together. thing.

"Haha, I have long heard that the noble son of Mu Shangshu's family is very good at business, and I think it is feasible."

Prime Minister Chen smiled and nodded in agreement.

His Majesty also smiled and did not answer, but looked at Mu Shangshu and said, "Mu Aiqing, what do you think?"

"This matter, as long as the dog is willing, it is all right."

Mu Shangshu smiled and said softly.

The relationship between Fu Mingyou and Mu Xingzhou is very good. The two have cooperated in business together before, so if they can participate in this matter, the other party will definitely join in.
