The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Half a month later, the workshop on Zhuangzi was completed, and the land began to work. The people who had built the workshop here went back to work on the land.

This year is also a very important year for Zhuangzi. In the past, Li Fu could manage the small piece of land on his own Zhuangzi.

Now it is different. Li Yuan has given him so much land, all in Jingyang County. Now he has more land under his name, and those lands are cultivated by farmers.

Li Fu, the King of Jingyang County, has a fief of 5,000 households.

However, there is a difference between fief and real fief. The good land awarded to him by Li Yuan is the real land.

Kings, dukes, ministers, and officials have used fiefs as food and salary for generations, so it is called fief and they enjoy the right to rule in the fief.

But this was also the case in the Zhou Dynasty. During the Warring States Period, the fief owners merged with each other, and the hereditary system was abolished. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the county system was implemented, and those who received the title gradually lost the right to rule in their fiefs.

In the Tang Dynasty, this was even more so. The salary was changed to be paid from the taxes collected from the households in the fiefdom.

In other words, the land in Jingyang County of Li Fu, the prince, was his own, and the tenants he had originally owned were his private property.

The so-called 5,000 households in the fiefdom was the tax revenue of 5,000 households in Jingyang County that the court gave him as salary.

Li Fu was just made a prince this year, and he would have to wait until next year to get his salary, but he had to take care of the land that was awarded to him.

Fortunately, he now has many people under his command, and those brought back from Jinyang are all mature old people. It will be no problem for Lao Zhou and others to take care of this aspect, and it will be Lao Zhou who will be busy at that time.

Lao Zhou is the housekeeper of this house, but there is nothing important at home. This year, it is okay to let Lao Zhou take a few people to take care of things, and let him train a few people who can do things. Wouldn’t it be easier for him in the future?

Li Fu is still young, but Lao Zhou is not young anymore. It is time to start training people, so that when Lao Zhou reaches retirement age, there will be no successor in the house.

Don't underestimate the position of housekeeper, ordinary people really can't do it.

The workshop is built, and the people who were originally crowded in the old house finally have a spacious place. The people who were bought by Lao Zhao to work have now moved into the dormitory of the workshop and will do this job here in the future.

Although they were bought back, they can get wages for working in the workshop. In the future, they can save money and maybe settle down here, get married and have children.

This is not a pie in the sky that Li Fu painted for them, but it is really possible to achieve.

In Li Fu's plan, there will be more people to be used in the future. It is best that the farmers in the whole village can reproduce well, endlessly, and continuously, so that all the tenants used in the future can be their own tenants.

With a dedicated place and professional tools, the efficiency is much better than before.

The carriages are also fully equipped, and it is much easier to go out to collect fresh eggs in the surrounding areas. Moreover, they can go further, and they have also developed a special direction and a special route to go to various villages along the way. They can go back and forth one or two times a day, and there is no need to worry about raw materials.

After the completion of the workshop, the production of eggs has become large-scale.

Now the workshop has a regular flow of people in and out every day.

Before, when we were in the house, there were too many people to accommodate. Now the workshop is spacious. After the previous people moved in, there was still two-thirds of the space vacant. To fill these two-thirds of the staff, the entire workshop can be considered to be fully operational.

The shopkeeper that Lao Zhao found for Li Fu before was surnamed Ma. Because he was the thirteenth in the family, everyone called him Ma Shisan. Now all things in the workshop are under the control of Ma Shisan. From now on, the business accounts and the accounts of the house will be separated.

The expenditure of the mansion is managed by the mansion's account office, and the income and expenditure of the business are managed by Ma Shisan, who is in charge of the account office of the workshop.

With this separation, it is clear and organized.

In addition, the share of the workshop given to Li Yuan also needs to be placed by Ma Shisan separately, and then delivered to Li Yuan.

Li Fu came to the workshop for inspection, and Shitou accompanied him.

"Sir, next time we deliver goods to Ke Yue Lou, the shopkeeper will be surprised." Shitou said, "Now is different from the past. Next time we deliver so much... In the past, we delivered once every seven days, and in the future we can even deliver once a day."

Let's see if the shopkeeper of Ke Yue Lou still keeps his word that Ke Yue Lou will take as much as they deliver.

"In the future, Ke Yue Lou can't take so many goods." Li Fu smiled and said, "At that time, it's time to open up new sales channels. Contact several restaurants in the East City of Chang'an City. Shopkeeper Ma, pay attention to this matter." Li Fu turned his head and told Ma Shisan..

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely take care of this matter." Ma Shisan bowed and responded.

"Now, other jobs on the farm are all lined up, and the workshop must make money as soon as possible." Li Fu said: "After the autumn harvest, everyone will be free, and we will be busy again. By then, everything will be inseparable from money."

After the workshop officially started working, it has a steady stream of income. Now there is a batch of money in the warehouse, which is slowly being saved.

"Have the wages for building the workshop been settled?" Li Fu asked again.

"Back to the master, everything has been settled clearly." Ma Shisan said.

"That's good, the workshop makes money, and there is still a long way to go. In some places, the money should be given and spent as it should be. Don't ruin the reputation of Jingyang Palace for saving a few melons and dates. In the future, there will be more people coming and going on this farm, and reputation is very important."

When doing business and cooperating, the first thing people want to see is your reputation.

Without reputation and credibility, you can't get anywhere. It can be said that it is difficult to move forward, unless someone wants to plot against you to death and does not intend to cooperate seriously, so that they will give you some benefits to make you take the bait and make it easier to plot against you next time.

Regarding the workshop, Li Fu simply said a little about his own ideas, and as for the rest of the actual operation, it was handed over to Ma Shisan.

Li Fu also asked Ma Shisan to bring more talented people. In the future, there will be one shopkeeper for each workshop, and Ma Shisan alone will be unable to handle everything.

In terms of talent training and reserve, Li Fu is too concerned.

Otherwise, he will have to do everything himself in the future. He earns so much money that he has no time to be free and easy. Why bother?

It's better to be an idle prince. He is poor, but he doesn't have to work hard.

What is the purpose of making money? Isn't it to be better at playing badly?

So, in the future, if you can avoid working, don't work.

Just move your lips and there will be people under you to do things.

This is called giving up.
