Li Mumu laughed.
"General, since we are talking about this, about the matter of running errands proposed by my wife, although there is no need for any financial support from the court. But if the errand shop is really opened, let's see its effect in Chong'an first. If the effect is good, it will be promoted in various places in the future. By then, I am afraid that many people will want to have a share..."
"You kid, I know what you mean. By then, these will all belong to your wife. If others want to grab them, I will definitely not let them." General Shang said, "But my ability alone is limited. After all, some people have stronger backgrounds, and even I can't afford to offend them. If it really comes to the point where many people want to have a share, it means that the benefits that this business can bring are huge, and it may not be something I can stop."
"So I want to talk to General Li tomorrow. If General Li is willing to come forward, then this business will not be taken away by others." General Shang said.
"Just your words are enough." Gu Shangqing stood up and saluted.
"How about this, I'll send a letter to General Li today." General Shang said, "If we can go tomorrow, you can go with me. Madam Gu will also come."
"Let Madam Gu talk to General Li in person then." General Shang said, "I believe General Li will definitely be very supportive. As long as General Li supports it, if the business of running errands is really established, no one else can grab it."
"Besides, this is originally our military's business. It is our military that transports the wounded." General Shang said, "Even if others want to intervene, they have to pass this hurdle in our military first."
"What I am most worried about is the people in the military who are higher than me in rank. If anyone among them wants to intervene and get a share, they can only rely on General Li." General Shang said. After General Shang
finished speaking, he wrote a letter in front of everyone and sent someone to deliver it to the general's mansion.
Madam Shang invited everyone to have lunch at her mansion.
During the meal, she asked Li Mumu in detail about her plan for the running errands shop.
Li Mumu knew that she only came up with this idea based on the takeaway running errand business in her previous life.
It's just that it's not as convenient as in the past, to place orders directly through apps and mini programs.
The demand for manpower is still greater.
In the past, you could order what you want directly on the app without leaving your home.
But now there is obviously no such technology, and we can only set up more registration points to provide customers with convenience as much as possible.
Before everyone finished their meal, the General's Mansion had already replied.
The person sent said to General Shang: "The general asks if you are free today? If you are free today, can you go over and talk today?"
Everyone heard that General Li also attached great importance to this matter. He couldn't even wait for a day and wanted them to go over today.
General Shang hurriedly said: "Is the general having a meal now?"
"Yes." The person sent by the general's mansion said.
"Then we will go over in half an hour." General Shang said.
It's impossible for them to go over and disturb the general while he is still having a meal.
"Yes." The servant left General Shang's mansion and went back to report to General Li.
General Shang and his men thought it was about time, so they set off for the general's mansion.
After receiving the report from the servants, Li Huailin didn't even have time to eat. He hurriedly took a few bites of rice and went to the study. He was
even anxious to go to General Shang's mansion to talk to General Shang in person.
After General Shang and others finally came, they received the message from the servants. General Li hurriedly said, "Please invite them in!"
After some time, General Shang and others were brought to the study by the housekeeper.
"General." General Shang said. Gu Shangqing and others also hurriedly saluted.
"Hurry up and sit down. There is no need for these empty formalities." Li Huailin hurriedly said, and he was not surprised to see Li Mumu.
Because in the post, General Shang had mentioned that the idea of this time was completely from Li Mumu.
Therefore, when he saw Li Mumu coming, General Li said, "Friends always praise you to me, saying that you are a person with a broad mind and a big pattern."
"Although I am indeed not bad, I am still flattered by Miss Li's praise of me." Li Mumu said with a smile.
"Hahahaha!" General Li couldn't help laughing, "You are such a funny person, no wonder my granddaughter likes you so much."
He was confident and didn't say that it was Li Zhiyin's false praise.
He generously admitted that he was indeed not bad.
Just for this point, Li Huailin had only seen such a character in Li Zhiyin at this age.
No wonder Li Mumu was so like Li Zhiyin's character, and Li Zhiyin even opened a forget-worry nap with Li Mumu.
Seeing someone who was like his granddaughter, Li Huailin couldn't help but be more friendly to Li Mumu.
"Tell me quickly, what you are thinking this time." Li Huailin said, "I saw that General Shang said it so well in the post, but it made me anxious."
Li Mumu repeated what he had said to General Shang before to Li Huailin.
Li Huailin's eyes lit up, "Good! It's really good!"
"Well, I will write a memorial tonight." Li Huailin said, "Whether to reduce the taxes of merchants or to give merchants a certain amount of compensation, this must be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue to figure out which one is appropriate. Finally, it will be passed down to local government offices, and our military will naturally have to keep an eye on it."
"As for the errand shop you mentioned, just do as you said and open one first to see if it can be done." General Li said, "If it can be done, then it will be opened in all towns. It will not only solve the problem of wounded soldiers returning home, but also solve the livelihood problems of many people."
"If it can be done, it will be a great thing." Li Huailin said.
"General, it was Madam Gu who proposed the errand shop," said General Shang. "Moreover, Madam Gu is really talented in business. She has never failed to accomplish anything. So I think since she can propose this, with Madam Gu's ability, she can definitely do it."
"When the business grows, once others see the benefits, I'm afraid they will want to get a piece of the pie." General Shang said, "But this matter was essentially proposed by Madam Gu to solve the livelihood problem of the wounded soldiers. The risks of opening this shop in the early stage were all borne by Madam Gu."
"Madam Gu has borne all the risks. When it comes to making money, others will be jealous and want to reap the benefits. That would be too unfair to Madam Gu," said General Shang. "
I know what you mean." Li Huailin smiled and glanced at General Shang, "You don't have to be so hesitant with me."
"Don't worry, I'm going to make this clear today. If the business of the errand shop really expands and becomes bigger in the future, and someone is jealous, tell him to come to me. He has to pass my test first before he can get a share of the pie."
