Chapter 327 The Republic
"It is definitely profitable to make wine!" Wu Haogu smiled, "I brewed some good wine in my next house and I will ask someone to send it to you later. You will know after drinking it."
Wu Haogu’s “brew” is Erguotou! In history, similar distilled liquor appeared until the Southern Song Dynasty. Now it was decades earlier, and it is the only good liquor in the world. It is also produced by Wu Haogu, a profitable businessman who is good at advertising and pretending.
Then we will make a good publicity and package Erguotou into an Imperial Wine Wine. It will be as expensive as Moutai! It is impossible not to make a profit...
"As for sea trade and shipbuilding," Wu Haogu smiled, "Don't think it's difficult for you to do it. As long as someone brings you, you can make a profit."
"Take it?" Ji Yi frowned, "Who will take it?"
He thought Wu Haogu would ask the Ji family to help. This matter...is not completely unanimous. It is okay to give a boat and support a few old sailors, but no matter how many there are, don't think about it.
"The Wu family in Haizhou." Wu Haogu smiled, "They will soon have a big deal, and the whole family can't afford it, so we must share some of it."
After hearing this, Ji Yi realized, "Is it because the Goryeo and the Naomi Naomi fight?"
"Yes." Wu Haogu nodded with a smile, "Is this a big deal?"
"Impossible." Ji Yi shook her head immediately, "How much military supplies business can Goryeo have? How could the Wu family not be able to eat it?"
"Who said we want to do business with the Goryeo people?" Wu Haogu sneered, "The Goryeo people's business is given to the Wu family."
Ji Yi widened her eyes, "Then we want to... do business with a female direct person?"
"Yes!" Wu Hao Ancient Road, "If no one sells military supplies to the female Naomi, the Goryeo may soon defeat the female Naomi. How to do the Wu family's business? Moreover, the Wu family cannot do business with the female Naomi. If the King of Goryeo knows, will their Wu family still do the business in Goryeo? So we can only do this business, and the Wu family has to help us build ships and practice sailors."
He was right! Ji Yi thought to myself: I must have been confused during this period of time when I read the books of sages. Why didn’t I expect this? The Wu family and the Republican Party supported one side separately. Only when the Goryeo-Neo-Zhi war lasted! Only when the lasted lasted could everyone make money. Maybe they could even bring Nine and Goryeo to become ally or ally of the Song Dynasty...
"If this is the case, it can be done."
"I think that's OK."
Ji Yi and Su Dalang both nodded. They were both Christie's, the major shareholders of the future Republic Headquarters. They nodded and Republic could enter the fields of maritime trade and shipbuilding.
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "But the three activities of winemaking, sea trade and shipbuilding cannot be done in Kaifeng Prefecture, but in Jiehe Market.
Among them, the winemaking activities must be cooperated with the Pan family. The Pan family is the owner of Panlou, and Panlou is a main store that can brew and sell wine in Kaifeng Prefecture. There are branches in Daming Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture, and Jingzhao Prefecture, which can also brew and sell wine. Therefore, the Pan family has to occupy half of the shares!”
The wines in the Song Dynasty were not sold casually, but were sold exclusively. In the Kaifeng Prefecture Realm, there were only 72 main stores that could make wine and sell wine. Of course, Jiehe Shangshi would not do so, but without the channels of Panlou, "Erguotou" could not be sold well in Kaifeng Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture, the Five Great Song Dynasty Capitals.
Wu Haogu paused and said, "If you have no objection, you will decide on the three activities of winemaking, sea trade and shipbuilding in Jiehe Market. We will discuss it after Jiehe Market opens."
"OK!"
"That's it!"
"sure!"
Of course, everyone had no objection. After all, compared with Christie's' current scale, the funds needed for the initial stage of the three activities of winemaking, sea trade and shipbuilding are only a small amount.
"Okay," Wu Haogu nodded with a smile, "Then let's talk about personnel arrangements now." He pointed to Su Dalang present, "Dalang, you can do the big shopkeeper of the Republic Headquarters, and you must also serve as the shopkeeper of Christie's, so can you be busy?"
"I'm so busy!" Su Dalang laughed, "In this way, I'm less involved than before."
"The Republic Headquarters also set up a general account," Wu Haogu continued, "not only should we be responsible for reviewing the accounts of each sub-business bank below, but also for managing money and financial management. The general account will be responsible for Pan Wulang, the manager of the Pan family's gold and silver, who is in charge of the silk shop."
Su Dalang nodded and said, "Iron Abacus Pan Wulang, he is a suitable candidate."
This is a badge, Pan Wulang is naturally Pan Qiaolian's man. His ancestors were slaves of the Pan family's generals and were very confidant, so he got the surname "Pan". Before being sent by Pan Qiaolian to the Republic, he was the second manager of the Pan family's gold and silver silk shop. He was a accountant with a lot of money in Jiesin Lane. He was not only able to settle accounts but also manage finances, but also very reliable, much better than Zhang Xizai.
"The courtesan handed over to Wei Sihai, Xie Shangbin and Zhang Zeduan," said Wu Haogu, "Wei Sihai is the shopkeeper, Xie Shangbin is the seal engraving workshop, and Zhang Zeduan is the editor of the album... As for the painting, I will do it before leaving Kaifeng Prefecture."
The monopoly threshold of the Chef of the Chef is much higher, so first of all, you have to have a "human camera". In addition to Wu Haogu, the ones that can be drawn now are Mi Youren and Zhao Ji. Although Zhang Zeduan and Du Wenyu are both very talented, their skills are still very insufficient after all. So Wu Haogu is planning to draw hundreds of sketches before leaving Kaifeng Mansion to prepare enough "ammunition" for the Chef of the Chef.
"Zhang Xizai, Huang Silang is in charge of real estate, one is the shopkeeper and the other is the general manager." Wu Haogu paused, "By the way, how about our real estate business, Wanhe business?"
"Okay."
"That's it."
Wanhe Real Estate... The meaning of harmony between Wanjia (it is obviously Vanke, Wanda's "Wan" plus the "Han" of Huhuang) is naturally a good name.
"Huamanshan, Zhou Gao, Lin Wancheng and Qu Huajie followed me to Jiehe Market," Wu Haogu continued, "In the future, we will take care of the activities of sea transportation, shipbuilding and winemaking. Do you have any objections, right?"
"No."
"Okay."
Wu Haogu said again: "The other thing is that there must be a republic school of craftsmanship, such as painting, printing, architecture, accounting, and brewing these craftsmanship must be passed down. No school can do it."
The so-called "School of Arts" is actually the university in Wu Haogu's mind! In the future, it will be renamed "Lighthouse University Hall", but now it can only be called "Republican School of Arts".
"I plan to open the school to Jiehe Shang City and run the school based on the craft house." Wu Haogu said carefully, "Is the cost of this craft school...is it appropriate to take it out by the Republic?"
"It's appropriate," Su Dalang smiled. "The School of Pitaka is to cultivate talents for the Republican Industry. Who will pay for us if the Republican Industry does not pay? Besides, can't we spend a few, right?"
Wu Haogu looked at Ji Yi again, Ji Yi nodded and recognized that the Republicans would bear the expenses of the school.
"Then I will talk about the Republic's affairs first, let's talk about Jiehe Market."
Jiehe Commercial City is actually a special business. It is said that it is a business because Jiehe Commercial City is invested by the Chamber of Commerce and operated by Buy Po. In theory, it is aimed at profitability, so it is naturally a business. It is said that it is special because Jiehe Commercial City is a business that implements the "republic system".
Wu Haogu knew very well what Jiehe Commercial City (Lighthouse Commercial City) was.
If the Jingkang shame or something similar still appears, the Lighthouse Market is likely to transform and advance and become a bourgeois free state like a beast!
In Wu Haogu's view, this free country can only be a republic and cannot evolve into an empire. Because Wu Haogu has adopted many extreme arrangements in order to give the Lighthouse City sufficient power.
For example, he is planning to start a university in Lighthouse City! Moreover, this university will also regard "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" as the motto, and implement the school philosophy of freedom and positivism. Such a university is simply the cradle of revolutionary ideas!
While opening a university, the Six Arts Academy and the Shipbuilding School will also appear in Lighthouse City. The so-called Six Arts Academy is actually a young military academy! A ten-year-old boy enters it and receives education from military elites, and is admitted to the university or Shipbuilding School after six to eight years. The so-called Shipbuilding School is actually an officer's school, which not only has courses for naval officers, but also trains army officers according to the "Murrong Art of War".
In other words, Wu Haogu will adopt the most radical and ferocious young officer development method in Lighthouse City to cultivate backbone military talents!
In later generations, the Young Military Academy was almost the cradle of militarism!
Just think about it and you will know that a group of teenagers who have been trained as elite officers since the age of ten can never develop a correct feudal outlook on life and values after more than ten years of strict, mechanical, and even lack of human nature. They are militarists and are not something feudal bureaucrats and feudal dynasties can control.
It must be a tragic thing for anyone to be emperor for them (military academy and college students). Maybe the whole family will have to go to the guillotine, so it is better to republic.
In fact, the national policy of using literature to control military affairs and focusing on civility over military affairs that began to be independent of the Song Dynasty was largely a helpless choice.
Because there have been too many dynasties in Chinese history, too many "will be a genius be a good person, and those with strong soldiers and horses do it", which gave the kings of the Song Dynasty too many negative teaching materials - a strong army is a real threat to the feudal dynasty!
Therefore, as long as you continue to follow the path of your family and the world, no matter who is an emperor, you will take the route of suppressing and weakening your force. Even if the founding king has enough mind, the successor will not follow the route of strengthening the army and the people.
