Chapter 106 Bamboo Concrete

Ten large warehouses in Yunchai City sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in Qizhou within 8 months. The largest one belonged to the Dayi warehouse of Zhao Ruyu, the official in the Privy Council.

It covers an area of ​​500 acres and has thousands of warehouses. Because Zhao Ruyu is in a high position and is also a royal family member. Although he did not appear himself, Zhao Yang, the nephew of Zhao Quan, the steward of Zhao's family, came forward. Who doesn't know the mystery here?

The most prosperous business is the Jiahe Warehouse under the name of the Jiawang Mansion. People in Lin'an City know that the shops with the character Jia are owned by the Jiawang Mansion in Lin'an. Although the original shops have always been operating in dismal places, the warehouse is different and requires credibility. Without the test of time, Jiawang, who was already the crown prince last year, was obviously the most favored by Lin'an merchants. What is the difference between storing goods in the Jiahe Warehouse and placing them inside?

Jiahe Warehouse was completed within one month. The warehouse construction does not need to be as particular as building a house drawer. As long as the wind cannot blow in, it cannot be wet. Anyway, there is water on all sides, and fires cannot occur, and safety is guaranteed. Besides, who dares to pluck hairs on tigers?

Although everyone knows that Jiahe Mansion belongs to the Jiawang Mansion, and Jiahe Cang does belong to the Jiawang Mansion, the person in the specific management of Jiahe Cang is not the master of the Jiawang Mansion. At least in the eyes of the government, Jiahe Cang has little to do with the Jiawang Mansion. It is just a man named Luo Xin. Luo Xin is the adopted son of Luo Zhong, the general manager of Jiawang Mansion!

At this time, Luo Xin was reporting today's income to Luo Zhong. As soon as Jiahe Warehouse Network was built, the merchants who came to hear the news blocked Luo Xin in the warehouse. They had only one purpose, and wanted to store their goods in Jiahe Warehouse. Fires that occur at any time in Lin'an City every year caused them to suffer heavy losses. Instead of worrying about losing their courage every day, it would be better to pay some money to buy peace, at least you don't have to worry about not being able to sleep every night.

"Enjoyant father, Jiahe Ware has a total of 600 warehouses. Today, I rented out 500 warehouses a day, each ten guan per month, and 5,000 warehouses a day!" Luo Xin said happily that he had also managed the industry of the Jiawang Mansion before, but he had never had such a profit? The 600 warehouses only need to send dozens of servants to take turns to guard the 600 warehouses, and the monthly expenses are only hundreds of coins. Now I can collect more than 5,000 coins a month. How much profit is this? Why doesn't it make him excited?

"Five thousand guan?" Luo Zhong was also shocked by this number. Although he was mentally prepared, the commission for each small warehouse to charge ten guan per month was already set, and the entire Lin'an was at this price. However, it still surprised him that he would rent out five hundred guan a day.

You must know that this idea was not what he thought of. That Zhong Wei is really a business genius, Luo Zhong sighed in his heart.

"If it weren't for the time being too late, my hand would be sore. Today, there would be no problem for renting out all 600 warehouses. Luo Xin said with a smile. He once imagined that one day he could count money and he could get cramps in his hands, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

"As long as you spend, you can earn at least 5,000 stakes of Luo Zhong's slow way every month.

"There is no problem when you have a stable income of 5,000 guan." Luo Xin said confidently. He knew very well how to deal with the remaining 1,000 guan. In addition to the necessary expenses of the servants, the rest was the ones they handled. Of course, Luo Zhong will always be the one who has the largest share.

"How is the situation in Dayi Cang?" Luo Zhong saw that Luo Xin understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more.

"Although Dayi Warehouse has 500 warehouses a year, it only rented out more than 200 warehouses today. Not even half of us." Luo Xin said. He sent people to various warehouses to wait for them early in the morning. After looking around, he still felt that his Jiahe Mansion was the busiest. Otherwise, he would not have come to Luo Zhong to perform his merits at night.

"How much can they earn if they rented them out in a month? It seems that they still had less land at the beginning. If we could get 500 acres, I, as the general manager, would never have to be annoyed by Sun Ding again." Luo Zhong said. In the past, the expenses in the mansion often showed deficits, and he was often chased by Sun Ding to run away. Later, because of the 10,000 guan of wine, the mansion was considered to be evenly balanced. Now with the 5,000 guan of this warehouse, Sun Ding will never come to him for money again.

"Yes, it's a pity. Otherwise, you can communicate with Louwudian and add a few hundred acres of land to Jiahe Warehouse." Luo Xin said. The more warehouses he has, the greater the profit.

"The time has passed, and I'm afraid anyone who wants to buy land and build a warehouse in the future will no longer be able to buy land and build a warehouse. By the way, what about the 300 acres of land in Zhong Mansion outside the city?" Luo Zhong suddenly remembered that Zhong Wei still had 300 acres of land, and he didn't know if his warehouse could be rented out after it was completed.

"Outside the city? There is still a desolate place now. Except for a few slack households who spend the night there every night, there is no trace of people." Luo Xin said disdainfully. He now has Zhong Wei, the shopkeeper of the Ten Days Warehouse in Lin'an, who is outside the city.

"No. That place was given to him a month ago, and it's unreasonable that there has been no movement for so long. Have you really sent everyone to inquire?" Luo Zhong asked in confusion. The construction of the warehouse was originally suggested by Zhong Wei. Now nine other warehouses have been built, but his warehouse has not even had a pillar. Isn't this too unreasonable?

"I think he probably didn't dare to build a warehouse anymore. It was five miles away from the city. Although he could go to the city by waterway, it would take at least two or three hours to go back and forth. Who would spend so much time to go to him?" Luo Xin said. As soon as the warehouse was built, everyone's warehouse shopkeeper held a meeting. At that time, Zhong Mansion also sent Zhong Zhengjun to attend. The price of each warehouse was set at 100% per month. It could not be more expensive than this or less than this price. With his geographical location, even if it was really built, it would be difficult to rent it out.

"In the future, if you have any questions about this warehouse outside the city, remember to report it to me quickly." Luo Zhong speculated based on his experience that the matter was not that simple.

Luo Zhong's speculation was really accurate. Within half a month, the 300 acres of land in Zhong Mansion outside the city began to break ground. Luo Xin had been arranging people to pay attention to the movement outside the city and immediately came to report to Luo Zhong.

"There is some movement outside the city. Zhong's mansion has arranged for hundreds of people to dig the foundation." Luo Xin said hurriedly. In Lin'an City, houses are usually built without foundations. They directly buried wooden pillars in the soil as house pillars. Then use wooden boards to connect the wooden pillars, and a wall is considered to be built.

“He was surrounded by water on all sides, and it was normal for him to dig the foundation.

"But I didn't mean to stop after digging three feet." Luo Xin continued.

"Three zhang?" Luo Zhong smiled, "Is he building a warehouse or digging a cellar? Could it be like Zhong Mansion? Digging a circular hole under the river? Is this Zhong Guard a rat? He just needs to dig a mess well."

"I don't think this time looks like this. They dug down the foundation this time. Even if they want to dig holes, they don't need to dig the whole thing through, right?" Luo Xin shook his head and said.

"It seems that he is thinking about a new trick again and said with a smile.

"Entertainment father, why don't I ask Lin'an Mansion to investigate? Luo Xin suggested.

"No, I have not celebrated the holiday with Zhong Wei. On the contrary, I have benefited a lot from him. You just need to pay more attention." Luo Zhong shook his head and said, "Now, the Zhong Mansion still sends 10,000 guan on time every month, not to mention anything else. Even for the sake of this 10,000 guan, he cannot make things difficult for Zhong Wei.

A few days later, Luo Xin came to report again that the people from Zhong's mansion finally stopped after digging four feet deep, and then poured an unknown mixture into the foundation, with river sand, pebbles and other mud-like things. After about one foot of the filling, they began to insert bamboo strips. The Hsinchu strips that had just broken were inserted into the mixture, and they were tied horizontally with bamboo strips.

Neither Luo Xin nor Luo Zhong knew what Fu Zhongwei was playing. If there was another modern person here, he would definitely know that it was just concrete. As for why he used bamboo strips, it was because there was no steel bars, so he could only use bamboo strips instead.

After pouring all the four-meter-deep foundations with this kind of bamboo strip concrete, Han Zhongwei asked someone to pick out all the soil in the foundation and fill it outside, expanding the place that was originally only 300 acres to dozens of acres. Luo Zhong was increasingly unable to understand Han Zhongwei's style, so he decided to go and take a look in person.

In fact, it’s not that Luo Zhong has no knowledge. Who made people at that time know what the basement is? At most, they built a secret room at home and left. And Han Zhongwei built a four-story basement at one time. Of course, they could not have heard of it, and even more impossible to have seen it.
