Farming and Raising Cubs (II)

Chapter 226: Expansion

Even after deducting the wages and commissions for the clerks, the shop still has a lot of profits.

And Li Mumu didn't want to be greedy even for the wages of the wounded soldiers, so the commissions were quite high. Even so, the profits were still quite a lot .

"And the original intention was to allow the wounded soldiers to have jobs to do and to support themselves. If we ask the court for money for this, I'm afraid it will cause the displeasure of the saint." Li Mumu said.

General Shang nodded, "General Li said the same thing. He originally said that if you want the court to give you some money or reduce something, let me remind you."

"I didn't expect you to think of it yourself." General Shang said.

"I really can't think of anything to ask for." Li Mumu said, "General, if I propose that the local government can provide some conveniences in the place where the errand shop is opened, is that okay?"

"Just like in Chong'an, in addition to choosing a shop, a registration point must be set up. The shop is easy to say, it's not a restaurant, so it doesn't need to be in a very prosperous place." Li Mumu said, "It's just that we need to set up a registration point on the street. Some places are not allowed to set up stalls. Can we make some exceptions for Bidada errands?"

"Also, like in Chong'an, can we... also set up registration points at the back doors of the mansions of those local dignitaries?" Li Mumu's face was full of embarrassment, "That's all I ask."

"Hahahahaha!" General Shang laughed with his head raised, "General Li really guessed right, he said you are probably going to make this request."

It's true that the registration points at the back doors of those mansions are doing too good a business.

Most of the business of the errand shop is supported by the servants

in the mansion. If it were opened somewhere else, Li Mumu would probably find a way to get all of this done.

But now that even the saint supports Li Mumu to do this, Li Mumu naturally has to speak out quickly.

"I don't need to ask General Li about this. General Li asked me to tell you, don't worry." General Shang said, "He will tell the saint about this matter. And you mentioned before that to avoid others from opening errand shops, General Li also told the saint."

"The saint said, since you came up with the idea, the shop should be opened by you. As long as you can keep your original intention unchanged, the saint will not allow others to steal your business." General Shang said, "General Li said that the saint's original words were that when they needed them to help the court share the worries, no one stood up. If they stand up again when they see the benefits, they are too inhuman. He wants to see who dares to do this."

"..." Li Mumu couldn't help asking, "Did the saint really say that?"

Didn't General Li adapt it in his own words?

"This... I haven't seen the saint either." General Shang has been stationed in the front. Even if he was promoted to the fourth rank, he has not had the opportunity to return to the capital to meet the emperor. His understanding of the saint is only from his superiors. "I don't know if the saint really said that. Anyway, General Li said so."

The original work did not pay much attention to the saint, only saying that he was a virtuous king.

But now listening to General Shang's words, if those were the saint's original words, then the saint of today is also very interesting.

For this reason, Li Mumu specially found Dajiang, Su Dazhuang and Xiang Guicai.

Through the management of this period, Li Mumu found that these three people are very promising, and they have already understood the operation of the errand shop, so he plans to send them to develop the next errand shop. () ()

"Are you really going to let us go?" Dajiang said in surprise.

"I want to ask you three, are you willing to go?" Li Mumu said, "I want to open the next errand shop in Wuwei City. One reason is that it is not far from Chong'an, and it is even more prosperous than Chong'an. It is the largest city in the northwest. If we can open the errand shop there steadily, we can use Wuwei as the center and gradually spread the errand shop in the northwest."

"Therefore, the errand shop in Wuwei is very important. It's just that it's some distance from Chong'an. If you go there, you have to start all over again, which will be a bit harder." Li Mumu said, "What do you think?"

"No problem!" Dajiang said immediately, "I do!"

Su Dazhuang and Xiang Guicai also said in unison: "I do!"

"Our hometown is not in Chong'an, but we have been in Chong'an for a long time, so we are familiar with it and regard it as our home." Xiang Guicai said, "It's just that we are away from home all year round, so it doesn't matter where we are. It's no problem for you to let me run around."

"Me too," said Su Dazhuang.

"You will stay there for at least a few months." Li Mumu said, "When the errand shop is established in Wuwei, you, Dajiang, will stay in Wuwei to take charge of the errand shop in Wuwei. Then, Su Dazhuang and Xiang Guicai, you two will come back first. Dajiang, when you are in Wuwei, you should also pay attention to whether there are outstanding people under your command, because they will be the supervisors in the future."

"As our errand shops open more and more, each place should have a supervisor." Li Mumu said, "When Su Dazhuang and Xiang Guicai come back, Su Dazhuang will take over the errand shop in Chong'an. Xiang Guicai will go to take over somewhere else. By then, our errand shops will be opened all over Daxi."

"If everything goes well, the three of you will each be responsible for a large area in the future. Not just the shops in one city." Li Mumu said.

Li Mumu's words made the three people energetic and excited.

"Do you three have any objections to this arrangement?" Li Mumu asked.

"No!" The three said in unison.

As for who will become the supervisor first, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, there are so many errand shops to open.

Xiang Guicai was not in a hurry that he had not yet been assigned the position of supervisor. Anyway, Li Mumu's words had been released, and it was a sure thing for him to be the supervisor.

"You three should prepare first. You can go there when the military guards receive the will of the saint in a few days." Li Mumu said.

"The saint knows it?" Dajiang said in surprise.

"Of course, the saint is very concerned about your affairs and fully supports it this time, so you should also do a good job. Show the court that our errand shop can develop well, not only can it solve the livelihood problems of the wounded soldiers, but also can let the soldiers who return home live a good life." Li Mumu said.

"Yes!" The three people's excited voices trembled a little.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the county exam results were announced.

The Gu family went to see the list together.

"Bai Yuan passed!" Li Mumu said excitedly.

Gu Shangyong lifted Gu Baiyuan up high and let him sit directly on his shoulders.

Li Mumu pointed to Gu Baiyuan and said, "There it is!"

Everyone looked over and Gu Baiyuan's name was indeed on the list.

"Hahahahaha!" Gu Shangyong shouted happily, "You can get ready for the provincial exam in April!"
