For the sake of Zheng Ji, the magistrate of Wannian County, Dongcheng Chengenlou finally stopped distributing money to the beggars from the fifth day, but instead distributed food to the beggars regularly.

The food is still distributed in Ci'en Temple. According to the people who like to watch, the food delivered to Chengen Building is actually very sufficient every day. If you spend money to buy it, it will definitely be worth a lot.

From the beginning, when Tuesday decided to distribute money to the poor beggars who really needed help, he actually did not intend to stop this kind of behavior that seemed somewhat promiscuous to others.

If you persist in it every day, Cheng'enlou will have to pay 3,650 jin for it in a year, which is definitely not a small amount. Before Cheng'enlou has risen, this expense is equivalent to nearly five years of income, equivalent to the income of the Zhou family for more than ten years.

However, 3500 trump cards are just half a month's income for Cheng'en Building today! Outsiders absolutely cannot imagine that Cheng'en Building's current turnover can soar to more than a hundred times that it was, and they cannot imagine how generous the diners near Dongshi, who are noble but very low-key are!

A pot of Cheng'en Tower burning knife is worth hardware, and it is converted into copper coins for a total of fifty taels. For ordinary people, they cannot earn it back in a year, but for those rich and powerful people, it is just a sprinkling of water.

The attendance rate of the private room on the second floor of Cheng'en Building is now 95% per day, and the remaining half is the Songtao private room that Bao Shunlei reserved for his cousin Tuesday. This private room that was originally worshipped by the prime minister is not open to the public. In addition to occasionally receiving the secret permission on Tuesday, he received the banquet arranged by Gao Lishi, Zhang Jiuling, Yan Tingzhi and others, even when the princes and princes and ministers came, they would hang reserved signs. I will not be welcomed.

Even so, there were endless guests who came to Cheng'en Building to book a private room, from at least the first day of each month to after the fifteenth. Some of these drinkers came for the Tang emperor's calligraphy, some came for the taste of the Prime Minister's banquet, some came for the strong burning knife, and some came for the famous and beautiful sentences hanging on the second floor of Cheng'en Building.

In order to ensure sufficient supply of high-quality wine, two months ago, Chen Guiyun went down to two yards next to the restaurant, one was the house of the brewing guys, and the other was the assembly line workshop for making soju, which specially made more than 40 newly bought Kunlun slaves as wine making buddies. He worked day and night to make soju.

Speaking of this "assembly line" production method, it was still Tuesday's idea. In order to ensure that the core skills of distilling and purifying liquor are always in their own hands, even these Kunlun slaves who never leave their homes, Zhou Chengye still insisted on not letting any of them get in touch with all the links. These Kunlun slaves could only stay in separate houses and repeated the tasks assigned. As for what others were doing, there was no way to know.

Of course, although Tuesday kept the Kunlun slaves secretly, they were quite favorable in terms of material life. They not only allowed them to eat and wear warm clothes, but also never used violent means to whip them. The eight Kunlun slaves who entered the Zhou family in the early days were the best role models. Looking at their current joy, you can know that Tuesday was really a person who regarded people as humans.

These Kunlun slaves who were castrated before being sent to the crowd. Just like the animals who cannot estrus, they were quite lucky to have a modern boss who talked about human nature last Tuesday compared to those who were bought by other families as cows and horses.

Because the key to brewing high-level liquor is distillation and purification, Cheng'enlou only buys large quantities of low-degree turbid wine from some large wineries outside Chang'an, and then after the last step of processing and production, it becomes an exclusive secret wine, earning real money from the richest group of people in Chang'an every day.

To put it bluntly, the high-sauce wine produced by Chengenlou is a luxury that can symbolize identity and status. The so-called taste is also a gimmick created by fooling these rich people on Tuesday. In fact, these rich people are all a group of suckers who have been slaughtered without knowing it.

The cost of a jar of high-alcohol has now dropped to ten cents of money, but the price of Cheng'en Building to a rich man is fifty cents. According to the standard of consuming at least ten cents of knives a day on the second floor of Cheng'en Building, selling wine alone can earn back 40 cents of money. If you add the scattered inputs on the ground floor and the income from dishes, and deduct the food cost and labor costs, then Cheng'en Building's daily net profit is an astonishing 50 cents of money!

A daily income of 500 jin is quite amazing for a restaurant, but it is still nothing for the vast Chang'an City. At this time, Chang'an City had a permanent population of 1 million and a migrant population of about 500,000. The 500 jin is 500,000 copper coins. If it reaches the average of this one.5 million people, it will only be one-third of each person.

Because he secretly conducted a detailed market survey on Tuesday, he felt that once his business empire was formed in the future, it would be reasonable for the people of Chang'an City to spend at least five to ten copper coins every day.

It’s not that he is greedy on Tuesday, but that he really needs to spend too many places. Spreading some food to beggars in the city every day is like pulling a few hairs off his body, and he still doesn’t dare to consider the places where he really burns money.

In an era of low productivity, how much does it cost to build a coal mine? The answer is an astronomical figure.

How much does it cost to build an iron ore? The answer is an astronomical figure.

How much does it cost to build an ironwork? The answer is still an astronomical figure!

In addition to burning money in the iron smelting plant, if you want to build a secret gunpowder factory, you will burn all the money you have in Zhou Er.

And the more critical issue is that having money alone is not enough. If you don’t have your own power and territory, no one dares to take the risk of doing business that can kill a hundred times of brains.

When Zhou Chengye was reborn, he seemed to have fallen into the eyes of money. In fact, he was impatient to secretly accumulate strength for his own growth. Although he didn't know where An Lushan, the thief, was hiding in, Zhou Tuesday clearly remembered that An Lushan had built a family by doing business before becoming the governor.

According to historical records: In the 28th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Lizhen, the chief censor, was the interview envoy of Hebei. An Lushan "flattered all kinds of things" and used a lot of money to bribe him and his subordinates to form a private friendship. Afterwards, Zhang Lizhen returned to the court and tried his best to speak for him, and An Lushan was therefore appointed as the governor of Yingzhou, the envoy of Pinglu Army, and the governor of Shunhua Prefecture.

Not only that for Zhang Lizhen, but after An Lushan, who was a businessman, took office, he bribed all the envoys of the court in the past. After the envoys returned to the court, they naturally praised him very much, which resulted in An Lushan's favor from the old and confused Li Longji.

Although Zhou Chengye was not a pedantic royalist party, nor was he a loyal dog raised by Li Tang, he would never sit idly by An Lushan, a Hu family like An Lushan, eventually causing a war disaster to the Tang people who lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Therefore, Zhou Chengye is now racing against time, accumulating strength against An Lushan, Shi Siming and others. With his current energy, he is simply unable to reverse the increasingly degenerate officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, but if he has huge wealth, he can use enough money to buy enough officials to serve himself.

According to the teachings of a great man in later generations, if Zhou Chengye did not occupy an important position in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, he would inevitably be occupied by bad guys such as Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, Shi Siming, etc.

On Tuesday, suffering from wealth hunger and thirsty, after getting through trouble at Chengen Building in Dongcheng City, he immediately became energetic and engaged in the battle in the anti-bian Yunmengju mall.

According to his instructions, Hu Hanfa, on behalf of Sijiyuan Restaurant, had formed an industry alliance with ten strong restaurants in the East and West City, including Yunmengju, Liuxiangju, Tianxianglou, Hu Ji Restaurant, and Gaoli Restaurant three days ago. Not only did they cross-hold shares, but they also immediately launched a series of new counterattacks.

With the strong support of other restaurants, Sijiyuan announced the opening of a semicolon in Dongshi, and at the same time launched a barbecue method that is affordable to the people of Chang'an. This method of eating that is suitable for both young and old and low-priced is attracted by the people of the city. Many young people came for the characteristic that barbecue can be done by themselves. They held a bunch of skewers in their hands and gathered happily, eating with oily mouths but having a lot of fun.

Under the huge impact of the four-season Yuan, Cheng'enlou, which had already announced that it would enter the West City with a high profile, suddenly adjusted its plan and tried its best to open a new branch on the south gate, but it did not mention any words about entering the West City.

Even so, the plan to enter the South Gate area of ​​Cheng'en Building was still invisibly hindered. The officials and men in the South Gate Office, although they don’t have a big position, are all good at shirking responsibility and procrastinating. Every time Chen Guiyun, the manager of Cheng'en Building, comes to do business, they will find various reasons to make excuses.

Li Ziyan was so angry that he patted his chest and promised Tuesday that he would apply for the business license for opening a store on the south gate, but seven days had passed, but the progress was still not much.

Just as Zhou Tui was about to go to Gao Mansion in person, Guangluqing and Xue Xiu came to visit again. He brought a deed with him, which happened to be a shop in a good location near the South Gate to sell the deed.

Looking at Xue Xiu with anticipation on his face, he was wondering in his heart. He knew that the area on the South Gate was a land of precious land and had long been divided up by the aristocratic families in Chang'an City. No matter how high the price he paid, the others would not be willing to sell it.
