Yanhuang College's current financial situation was still relatively healthy.
First of all, Li Zexuan never planned to build the entire college in one go. Two months wasn't enough to complete such a large project. Therefore, according to the first phase of the college, 150,000 strings of cash was enough to support the various expenses of the construction site for a month.
Of course, he believed that the workshop would have some breakthroughs in the research of cement recently. When that happens, the construction cost would be greatly reduced.
Currently, the construction site only bought two days' worth of cement mortar at a time. They were prepared to replace it with cement at any time.
Moreover, products such as the Immortal Mirror and Colored Glass Cup had just been released. The market demand had not been fully released yet. Therefore, Strange Taste Pavilion could be considered as Li Zexuan's cash cow now!
Basically, a batch of goods released every few days could earn at least 10,000 strings of cash. For Li Zexuan now, earning money was just that easy. Therefore, spending a few hundred strings of cash to buy watermelons for the workers to relieve the heat was really nothing to him.
Although he didn't have the ability to change the fate of all the poor people, he would definitely help these pitiful and respectable workers in front of him.
After joking with Yan Shaoning for a while, the two of them went to the square in front of the construction site. At that moment, the workers were queuing up to get their food.
Yesterday, the overall performance of the workers of the five regiments was very good. However, because the task of the fifth regiment was lighter than the other regiments, they fell behind in yesterday's evaluation. Therefore, the food they had today was the worst in the entire construction site.
Although it was the worst, it was still much better than most people's meals. This was because their food was rich in oil. This was all secretly instructed by Li Zexuan. It was fine if they couldn't eat meat, but there must be oil in the food. Otherwise, the workers would definitely get hungry quickly and lose their energy to work.
Of course, the so-called oil was definitely lard. If it was vegetable oil, Li Zexuan wouldn't be able to eat it.
"Yo ~! There's also black bean soup today ~! "
When it was a worker's turn to get food, he was surprised.
"Hehe ~! This is what the young master prepared for you. Everyone, drink more later. There's enough black bean soup ~! "
The auntie in charge of getting food laughed.
"Ha ~! The boss was afraid that everyone would get heatstroke ~! Without a doubt, we will definitely remember Boss's kindness in our hearts ~! "
"Yeah! First, it's a cold melon, and then it's a cold bean. Boss has really given us a lot of thought ~! "
"I, Madman Ma, will never forgive anyone who slacks off!"
"Yes! Whoever dares to play tricks is truly heartless ~! "
.....
Li Zexuan's small action once again caused a huge reaction among the commoners!
As the saying goes, there will be no harm if there is no comparison. Compared to the past, Li Zexuan really treated them as human beings. They felt genuine concern and respect from Li Zexuan, which was very precious in this era!
In just two days, Li Zexuan had made more than ten thousand workers and craftsmen identify with him. His speed was quite fast. It could only mean that treating others with sincerity would also result in sincerity ~!
"Haha! Xiaoxuan, you're quite impressive ~! I think all the workers are full of admiration for you now ~! I'm afraid even I can't compare to your influence ~! "
As the chief commander of the construction site, how could Yan Shaoning not know the mentality of these workers ~? He stood at the edge of the square and exclaimed to Li Zexuan.
"Haha ~! Shaoning, this is called charisma, do you understand ~? "
Li Zexuan patted Yan Shaoning's shoulder and laughed as he said shamelessly.
"Get lost ~! What bullsh * t charisma ~! Don't lie to me ~! It's just a way to buy people's hearts ~! My father used it a lot too ~! "
Yan Shaoning rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
Li Zexuan said anxiously, "Hey ~! What do you mean by buying people's hearts ~? These people use their hard work to get paid, and I treat them with sincerity ~! Shaoning, don't talk nonsense ~! There are so many craftsmen and commoners in the world, and I don't lack money. Why would I need to buy people's hearts ~? "
"Yes, yes, yes ~! You're right ~! Go and eat ~! Remember to send me the alcohol in the afternoon ~! "
Yan Shaoning waved his hand and went to get food ~!
.....
After having lunch at the construction site, Li Zexuan didn't go home immediately because the weather was really hot. The whole earth felt like it was being baked in a furnace, and it was extremely hot.
In his previous life, Li Zexuan thought that the ancient times would be cooler because modern society had developed for so many years and would be affected by the global greenhouse effect. In the ancient farming society, the natural conditions were not destroyed, and even if the summer was hot, it wouldn't be too hot!
But after experiencing it, he knew that it wasn't the case at all!
At the very least, he was extremely hot now ~!
Luckily, all the sheds at the construction site were built in the forest, or else the workers would be in a worse situation in the wilderness.
Li Zexuan stayed in Yan Shaoning's temporary residence for two hours until the sun outside wasn't so solid anymore. Then, he took the carriage back to Chang 'an City.
When he got home, Li Zexuan took out a bottle of 75% medical alcohol and asked the servant to send it to Yan Shaoning. Not long after, Sun Huaiming came.
Old Sun's face was flushed red. He came to the Li Residence to report the results of the day to Li Zexuan. Today, the Strange Taste Pavilion had another batch of glass products for sale.
"Young Master, great news ~! Today, we have prepared four hundred colored glazed cups, four hundred colored glazed lamps, and two hundred small celestial mirrors. The number of people lining up at the Strange Taste Pavilion did not decrease. Instead, it increased by several times. Many people stayed at the restaurants in the East Market last night. This morning, the Strange Taste Pavilion had not even opened its doors, and there was already a long line of people waiting outside! Until now, we've sold out all our stocks ~! Today, we sold more than eighty thousand strings of coins worth of goods! It's amazing ~! "
Sun Huaiyuan said excitedly.
Li Zexuan nodded indifferently. All of this was within his expectations. The high profits of these colored glass products would definitely continue for a period of time. He smiled and said, "Yes, Shopkeeper Sun, you've done very well ~! In the future, the glass cups, the small celestial mirrors, and the small celestial mirrors will be sold in batches every three days, and then the large celestial mirrors will be sold in batches every ten days! We have to control the quantity, and don't let the celestial mirrors become cheap goods that can be seen everywhere ~! "
Sun Huaiyuan had been a manager for so many years, and his understanding of business wasn't low. After hearing this, he immediately understood Li Zexuan's intention. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, you're really far-sighted. I'll definitely do as you say ~!"
"Haha ~! Manager Sun, you flatter me ~! "
