When Du Qi returned to the Du family, he went straight back to sleep. This was the first time he got up so early to attend the court meeting. Especially since Du Qi had been used to sleeping in since he transmigrated. He was not used to waking up so early.
Du Qi slept until almost noon before he woke up. He washed up again, rested for a while, and started to eat lunch. After lunch, Du Qi made a special trip to the southern part of the city to meet with Zhang Jingping. He told him about the matters in the imperial court and asked Zhang Jingping to do it boldly.
With Li Yuan's acquiescence, Zhang Jingping could unify all the Rangers in Chang 'an and the underground forces. That would be safe. If there were other people who came to cause trouble, they would be dealt with directly.
Zhang Jingping was naturally very happy.
He thanked Du Qi one after another.
Du Qi exhorted Zhang Jingping, telling him to do things well and not forget his original intentions.
Zhang Jingping naturally obeyed.
To Zhang Jingping, he actually did not have much desire for power and influence. Now he could do things, and he could do good things, and he could also live a carefree life. This kind of life was quite good.
Du Qi stayed in Qinglong Hall for a while and then left for the tea shop.
After all, Qianxue was in the tea shop.
It was very good to warm himself by the fire in the tea shop and listen to Qianxue playing the zither. The winter time quietly slipped away in such leisure. In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of November.
It was a new month.
On this day, early in the morning, Fu Dacheng came first with a bright smile on his face. He was very excited and excited. As soon as he saw Du Qi, Fu Dacheng quickly said, "Young Master, we opened on the 23rd of last month. In a short time, our down jacket shop has earned a lot of money."
"I have calculated. Excluding all expenses, all costs, and the money needed to stock up now, the net profit in this short time is a total of 380,000 strings of cash."
"Although our down jackets are not as good as when we opened, the daily sales have stabilized. The daily sales are not less than 20,000 strings of cash. The main reason is that many big businessmen come to buy in bulk and then sell them far away."
"In short, I've made a lot of money this time."
Fu Dacheng said, "And it's only the beginning of November. The cold winter weather will continue for a long time. We will definitely be able to make a lot of money."
Du Qi also smiled.
A profit of nearly 400,000 strings of cash was not a small sum.
It could be said that if Du Qi didn't share the profits with others, then Du Qi would have made a lot of money.
Du Qi asked, "According to the rules, you and all the shopkeepers and backbones will receive dividends. You can deduct the money from the profits. In addition, this month's profits were good. Another 10,000 strings of cash would be allocated to the workers. In short, the rain and dew should be shared equally, so that those who are busy will have something to look forward to. "
"Young Master is benevolent!"
Fu Dacheng answered respectfully.
He was also happy for the people below him, and even more happy for Du Qi's benevolence and righteousness, because to follow such a benevolent and righteous person like Du Qi was indeed his honor, and even more so, his opportunity.
Fu Dacheng said, "Young Master, all the money is still hoarded in the store's warehouse. Should I send this money to the Du family? "
Du Qi said, "After you go back, bring the rest of the money to the Du Family if you need to share it with the kitchen. Then, prepare a copy of the accounts for me. I have a big use for it. "
"Yes!"
Fu Dacheng answered and was happy.
Fu Dacheng changed the topic and said, "Young Master, I've been busy arranging the down jackets during this time. But in addition to this matter, I've thought of another matter that you must make the decision on. "
Du Qi said, "Speak!"
Fu Dacheng said seriously, "Our down jackets can indeed make a lot of money. But the problem is that it's only useful in winter. If winter really passes, once spring comes, the weather will gradually warm up. No one will be interested in our down jackets. So I think that now we need to start thinking about the clothes after spring. Our down jacket store can't just sell these clothes. We have to make other arrangements. "
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "It's not a problem to sell other clothes. But this involves a problem. We need enough skilled hands to make clothes. In addition to that, in order to not be choked by others, we also need to have our own dyehouse and be able to dye the cloth ourselves. Only in this way will we have an absolute advantage. "
Fu Dacheng said, "As long as Young Master agrees, I will arrange these things."
Du Qi thought for a while and said, "About opening a dyehouse, dyeing cloth, and so on, you choose first. But this matter is not urgent. Let's do the current things well first. When you're free, put this matter on the agenda. As for the dyehouse, let's work together. I will also think about it. "
"Yes!"
Fu Dacheng's face had a smile.
With Du Qi's affirmation, he was really relieved.
Du Qi, on the other hand, was deep in thought because he really did have the relevant information in his mind. To dye the cloth, he also had the formula, so Du Qi was not worried about this.
Fu Dacheng said some other details, then turned and left. Not long after noon, all the profits had been sent. The money sent was as much as 330,000 strings of cash, and this was after deducting a lot of dividends.
330,000 strings of cash was not a small amount.
According to Li Yuan's 30% share, he could get 99,000 strings of cash. Du Qi made the decision to fill in 1000 strings of cash, which was 100,000 strings of cash. He took 100,000 strings of cash and went to the palace. Fortunately, all the copper coins were exchanged for gold. Otherwise, a carriage would not be able to pull it all.
Du Qi went straight into the palace, and all the money followed. After Du Qi entered the Sweet Dew Hall, he first handed over the latest contents of the two books, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Investiture of the Gods". After Li Yuan finished reading, Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, today the general manager of the down jacket store, Fu Dacheng, sent the accounts. The income of last month has been settled."
After Li Yuan heard this, his spirit was lifted.
The down jacket store was incomparably profitable. He would definitely get a lot of money.
Li Yuan's face was full of expectation, and he asked, "Erlang, can I get 30,000 strings of cash here?"
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is looking down on this down jacket store too much. Your Majesty's dividends this time far exceed 30,000 strings of cash, a total of 100,000 strings of cash. This is Your Majesty's first batch of dividends. "
"How much?"
Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he had an incredulous expression. He did not believe it.
100,000 strings of cash!
This was not a small amount!
It had to be known that Li Yuan was usually extremely frugal in the Imperial Palace. After all, the Emperor had to set an example and set an example for the subjects of the world. Therefore, regardless of whether it was palace maids or eunuchs, the expenses were all controlled and could not exceed the budget.
Du Qi said again, "Your Majesty, this first batch of dividends is 100,000 strings of cash."
"Hiss!"
Li Yuan could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
100,000 strings of cash!
Li Yuan immediately laughed loudly, and his laughter was full of joy. He had been the emperor for several years. Although he had come into contact with countless amounts of money, they were all directly transported into the national treasury. But even so, it was not easy for the imperial court. The financial pressure was great. As for Li Yuan's palace treasury, the money was even less. The budget for a year could not exceed 100,000 strings of cash.
Li Yuan was the emperor, sitting on the four seas, but in reality, he was also a poor ghost.
But now, he suddenly had 100,000 strings of cash, and this income was still endless. This kind of income caused Li Yuan to be overjoyed like a child.
After a long while, Li Yuan calmed down.
Li Yuan praised repeatedly, "Erlang, good boy, good job."
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is too kind."
As he spoke, Du Qi handed over the account book and said, "Your Majesty, this is the account book of the down jacket store. Your Majesty, please take a look."
"No need!"
Li Yuan shook his head.
He flicked his sleeve and said, "I believe in you."
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty believes in this subject and does not need to look at the account book. However, this subject must record the situation truthfully for Your Majesty to know. After all, this down jacket store must have such rules to continue operating. "
Li Yuan threw the account book aside, but said with emotion, "Erlang, the principle of managing a store is actually the same as managing a country. The so-called managing a country is like cooking a small fish. The only difference is that the imperial court is full of deception and deception, and many things are busy. "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is right."
Li Yuan said sternly: "Erlang, in the matter of making money, you really have a gift. Are you really not willing to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue? "
He still had this idea.
Because Du Qi was powerful enough to turn stone into gold. Maybe after Du Qi took charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the Tang dynasty's treasury could be filled, and it would not be as difficult as it was now.
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, this subject really can't do it."
Li Yuan saw that Du Qi was unwilling, so he did not insist. After talking with Du Qi, he let Du Qi withdraw.
