On the first day of the first lunar month, it was a good day to receive red envelopes. Guocheng, Zhu Youjian, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun were sharing the spoils in the secret room. Uh, it was wrong, it was dividends.

Wang Chengen said: "Last year, the income of the children's workshop was not a fraction, but 520,000 taels of silver. The total income of perfume was 45,3472 taels of 8 cents of silver. When a bottle of 3 taels of silver was sold, a total of 1,2432 bottles were sold, and 37,296 taels of silver were sold. When a bottle of 60% of silver was sold, a total of 7,5644 bottles were sold, and 45,3864 taels of silver were sold. After deducting the 326 bottles sold at 20% off, the total amount was 45,3472 taels of 8 cents of 80% of the money sold in Shuntian Mansion, the total was 45,3472 taels of 8 cents. Towels were not sold, mainly because some small workshops produced some bargains.

It seized some of the market. Some big shops with backers also imitated some, but I heard that the prince of the country destroyed two counts and one magistrate in a row, so they didn't dare to do it anymore. We sold 23729 towels, and got 2372 taels of silver. Soaps were sold for a total of 34875 yuan, and got 1,7437 taels of silver. Badminton sold for 1,254 pairs, each pair of 5 taels of silver, and got 6,270 taels of silver, and 4586 sets of cards, each set of 1 taels of silver, and 4586 taels of silver. The total income of children's playground is 52,1435 taels of silver."

Guocheng shook his head: "I can't calculate it correctly, the income from children's playground is not that much."

Wang Chengen was puzzled: "Impossible. This was calculated using the account book in the imperial shop. I have checked it several times."

Cao Huachun said: "The general manager is afraid that he will have less cost. The cost of perfume is 1 tael and 4 cents per bottle, and a total of 12,3306 tael and 4 cents are used. The cost of towels is 3 cents, and 7 cents are used to get silver; the cost of soap is 2 cents, and 6,975 taels are used to get silver; the cost of badminton is 1 tael and 1,379 tael and 4 cents are used to get silver; the cost of cards is 1,458 tael and 6 cents are used to get silver; the cost of welcoming and sending is 2,330 taels. The total cost is 13,5161 taels and 2 cents are used to get silver. In other words, the income of the children's playground this year is 38,6273 taels and 9 cents are used to get silver."

Guocheng still shook his head: "The money is still too much."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Brother Guocheng, don't play puzzles anymore. It's okay for these two guys to serve them. It's a embarrassment for them to settle the score."

Guocheng said: "For less labor costs."

Wang Chengen jumped up and said, "What, who dares to ask our family for money? I don't want to live anymore. Besides, don't I give them money every month?"

Zhu Youjian said: "Parent Wang, don't worry, please listen to Brother Guocheng's words slowly."

Guocheng said: "Children's playground does give workers monthly money, but that is given on average. No matter how much or how much, they are given the same amount of money. Over time, craftsmen will feel that it is not good to do more. It is better to do less, and production efficiency will be greatly reduced, which is not good for us to expand reproduction."

Guocheng had seen the disadvantages of big pot rice before and did not want the children's playground to repeat the same mistakes.

Wang Chengen said: "That's true. I heard Qian Xiaoju complain that he had worked too much. He scolded him and transferred him a few carpenters, which barely suppressed him."

Guocheng said: "Yes, I'm complaining now, and I'll be slacking off in the future."

Cao Huachun said: "So what should I do?"

Guocheng said: "Piece-based bonus, 1 cent per piece."

Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun clapped and smiled: "The young master of the country is good at making a lot of money. If you do more, you will earn more. You are not afraid that these craftsmen will not work hard."

Guocheng said: "This policy will be launched next year, because the amount they have made may not be recorded this year. Let's discuss how to divide the money."

Wang Chengcheng and Cao Huachun rubbed their palms at the same time, and countless stars emanated from their eyes. Zhu Youjian was very calm. First, he didn't care about money directly, and second, he believed that Brother Guocheng would not let him suffer a loss.

Guocheng said: "We have 38,6273 taels, 9 cents and 3 cents, which is 380,000 yuan, and take 10% of them, that is, 38,000 yuan to pay workers' wages and bonuses. Eunuch Wang should pay more and pay attention to two principles. The first is to distribute according to work, and whoever does more will give more. The second is to estimate everyone's work ability. The maximum amount of money can not exceed half of the piece-based bonus next year. Let His Royal Highness give the money personally, because A Jian is the principal of the children's playground. The money does not have to be paid out, and the remaining money is saved for expansion and reproduction. The remaining money will be divided by the Jinyiwei; the Academy of Sciences is our Tongle Primary School, which is divided by one hundred percent; Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Cao each share one hundred percent; I and A Jian each get 2.5%, what do you think about this?"

Wang Chengen said: "There are only a hundred people in the Jinyiwei, will there be more than 38,000 taels of silver?"

Guocheng said: "The 38,000 taels of silver are not all paid for monthly money, but include training costs, venue costs, weapons costs, etc. Of course, the venue is now used by the Guogong, and there is no need to pay. I am going to ask the Academy of Sciences to develop the automatic rifled musket after the rifled gun is installed, and this requires a lot of money."

Zhu Youjianqi said: "Where does the Academy of Sciences come from our children's playground?"

Guocheng said: "There is no sign, but it is actually our Tongle Primary School. There are three strange talents in it, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Wanhu, all scientific madmen. I have handed over the task of improving the musket to them, and we will soon hear good news."

Wang Chengen said: "The emperor's grandson will be the king in the future. Leading troops will probably arouse suspicion from others."

Guocheng said: "The northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty is unstable, and Ajian and the crown princess have deep brotherhood. After the crown prince ascended the throne, I strive to allow Ajian to lead troops to pacify the northeast and share the worries of the emperor's brothers. If you don't practice good soldiers now, it will be too late in the future."

Guocheng did not dare to say that Zhu Youjian was the later Emperor Chongzhen. He would not scare these three people to death if he said it.

Cao Huachun said: "Then Tongle Primary School doesn't have to pay as much as 38,000 taels of silver."

Guocheng said: "Science is a money-burning project. They buy whatever materials they want, and don't bother with the money they use. If they use up, then talk to me again. In the future, no matter how much money they make, they will be paid like this."

Wang Chengen smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said, "The Prince of China once said that with you, everyone will only complain that there is too much money, not too little money. As expected, that's true."

Guocheng smiled and said, "You will be happy with such a little money, and you can make more money next year."

Zhu Youjian said: "Yes, I only made 380,000 yuan this year after only half a year of work, and I can make at least 800,000 yuan next year."

Guocheng said: "It's not all. Next year I will sell the things from the children's playground to the 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Chengen said in surprise: "No, then I have to hire more shopkeepers, at least thirty or forty. I have to buy a store. Oh, there is not enough time."

Guocheng smiled and said, "Who asked you to open a store?"

Wang Chengen said: "Didn't you say you want to sell everything all over the Ming Dynasty?"

Guocheng said: "We don't need to sell it, we need someone to help us sell it."

Zhu Youjian asked, "Who would be so kind to help us?"

Guocheng said: "The nature of merchants is to make money. If you don't make money, it is difficult to tolerate it. As long as you give him the profit, they will naturally come to help. We want to create a win-win model. Eunuch Wang will not rest in the next few days. Contact the office of the Thirteen Provincial Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, and we wholesale the goods to these merchants, and they will naturally sell them all over the country. The goods are sold to them at 60% off. Although the profit of a single item has decreased, we still make a lot of money when the total sales volume increases. Eunuch Cao will not rest. Go outside the capital to find a secluded place. We should be bigger. We are there to expand the production of perfume, soap, towel, badminton, card and other businesses."

Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun clapped their hands and said, "If you do this, the profit next year is expected to reach more than 2 million taels of silver..."

Halfway through, the two of them kept silent, 2 million taels, isn’t this the same as the annual income of the Ming Dynasty’s treasury? The young master of the country earned the annual income of the treasury with one person. He is really a phoenix among people.

The two bowed together and turned to leave.

Guocheng said: "What are you anxious about? On the first day of the first lunar month, everyone needs to rest. Let's go tomorrow. I have bought a lot of fireworks and go to play with fireworks."

Zhu Youjian was a little dizzy after listening to the account for a long time. When he heard the fireworks, he said happily: "Go, go, go, go play with fireworks."
