The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The subsequent money to be paid has not been calculated yet. As a wealthy family, they want to save face, and they want the best for everything from food and clothing.

For a piece of furniture, if the material is better, it needs to be carved, decorated, and decorated, and it is more gorgeous, the price will not be too cheap.

1,800 guan is nothing to these wealthy families who like to enjoy life.

Li Fu went to Li Shimin to get a note, and only asked for 500 guan. It seems less, but it takes several ox carts to pull back these 500 guan.

The money in the treasury nowadays may not be as much as the money in the treasury of the aristocratic family. After all, it is accumulated over many years, and being rich enough to rival a country is not just talk.

In the evening, a copy of the clerk's account book was sent to Li Fu's desk.

"It seems that the palace has worked." Li Fu smiled.

Old Zhao was also emotional.

"I didn't expect that the furniture business could be so profitable."

"Of course it is profitable. The price of wood is open in Chang'an City. People know how much it costs to hire a few carpenters. But our furniture workshop sells novelties. The main feature is private customization, which gives buyers a comfortable experience. This is something that carpenters in Chang'an City can't do now."

"Not to mention other things, it's the step-out bed. One drawing and one carpenter, who doesn't know the tricks, is enough for him to study for half a year. It will take several people one or two years to make it."

If you want more patterns and more exquisite, you may not be able to make a step-out bed for several years.

The most expensive thing is this thing.

Looking through the account book, this step-out bed is also the most popular, but at present, the price budget is calculated according to the simplest style. If they want to add things to it later, the money will continue to pile up, even several times the current price.

Wood, craftsmanship, and even the final carvings, some even need gilding or something.

This is called optional installation. The roughcast is not valuable, and the optional installation is the most expensive.

Just like a certain brand of luxury "carriage".

Such a complex process naturally takes longer, so even if someone is sent to measure the order received today tomorrow, it is still necessary to arrange the production time.

In this way, the people behind should know what it means to buy early and enjoy early.

Even if it is a furniture workshop, it will take two or three months to make a step-out bed.

This means that this thing is in short supply.

"Go ask the workshop tomorrow, when will the current work be scheduled." Li Fu told Lao Zhao: "Half of the people in the workshop are busy with the affairs of Hongyi Palace. In terms of orders, only the other half can do it. In any case, the affairs of Hongyi Palace are the top priority."

"Yes, my lord, I will go to the workshop tomorrow." Lao Zhao responded.

After the shop received the order, the information and the name cards of each family were also sent to the workshop. The people in the workshop began to visit the door in the order of the order.

Basically, a carpenter and a few apprentices went to measure the size. Those who were not assigned to work in Hongyi Palace in the workshop were doing this, and they were divided into several groups.

At present, they can still be busy, and some people are assigned to do this. It is fast. In one day, several families have been measured, but after the measurement, they still need to decide with them what style they want to make. This is considered complete.

Therefore, a lot of time was wasted on this matter, and the craftsmen in the workshop also told them about the construction period.

Since it is a fine furniture, it is reasonable that the construction period is longer.

After everything was handled, in the next day, Ma Shisan led the foreman to recalculate the price in the workshop, and then wrote a receipt with the price clearly marked on it. This requires the people in the shop to take the receipt to each family to collect the deposit.

The deposit must be 70% of the total price.

This ensures that the workshop will make a profit no matter what.

After a series of things, the family workshop became rich just by collecting the deposit. The next step is to purchase raw materials, and then the workshop will start working.

In the next few days, the furniture shops in the East City can be said to be crowded with people.

Of course, it does not mean that you will spend money when you come here. For ordinary people, these furniture are still not affordable.

The craftsmen in the workshop began to rush to work. After all, there are still orders from restaurants and brothels to do. This is a matter of constantly attracting customers for themselves, and they can't be careless.

"Now, we are rich." Li Fu looked at the account book, and his face was full of smiles.

"Yes, it's really happy to have so much money in the account at once."The shadow of lack of copper coins on the account was swept away.

In fact, the cost of furniture is only 30% of the total price, and the rest is pure profit.

Even if this money is received, it is enough for Li Fu to build houses for the guards on the farm.

"The autumn harvest on the farm is over, how are the arrangements for the tenants?" Li Fu asked.

"Zhang Huan wrote that the tenants are now paying grain one after another. The granary in the original house has been cleaned up, and all the grain stored is this year's new grain." Lao Zhao said: "My dear, do you want to take advantage of the high price of new grain and deal with the new grain collected? It's almost enough to leave enough for our family."

Li Fu shook his head.

"No, starting from this year, the new grain will be stored in the warehouse and sealed well. In the future, there will be places where it will be needed. Is the granary on the farm not enough? It is just right to build a big granary while building a house. Now it is different from the past. Now I have food and farmers under me. The grain handed in every year is also a considerable amount. It is definitely not enough to rely on the granary in the original house.

You should pay more attention to this matter and write a letter back to the farm immediately to organize people and start building a granary."

"The standard of granary construction must not be worse than that of the workshop. It must be able to store grain."

Li Fu emphasized the granary.

The locust plague is something that cannot be changed by human power. Even if there is an egg-changing workshop as a cover, everyone can raise chickens, ducks and geese, but this is far from enough.

Raising chickens, ducks and geese can only reduce the severity of the large-scale locust plague, but cannot completely avoid it.

Moreover, it was just a drop in the bucket for the people in their farm and at most the people in the surrounding villages to raise chickens.

As for those further away, Li Fu had no control over it. He told them to raise chickens, ducks and geese to prevent locusts.

Who would believe it?

Unless the court issued an order.

But raising chickens, ducks and geese also consumed food for the people. For ordinary people, raising one or two was the limit. The court could not make things difficult for the people because of this.
