He saved money in ancient times to marry

Cheng Jiu and Uncle Cheng only stayed for one night and were going back to Huyang County, which was their home, so they left early in the morning.

Bai Li went to the Sanli Pavilion, inspected his flowers carefully one by one before leaving, Bai Sheng was waiting for him in Liu Bai.

Bai Li didn't even look for a place to sit, so he took Bai Shun and Bai Sheng all over the street for a walk, walked around, and asked: "Our Chengzhou Prefecture has many shops and is very prosperous. I want to develop a business here. Are you here?" You have lived here longer than me, can you tell me what is missing here?"

Bai Shun and Bai Xing looked at each other, and after a while they honestly said, "Master, I really can't think of it."

Bai Li: "I have something to tell you now, where should we sit?"

Bai Shun: "Go to Zhenxiu Restaurant?"

Bai Li: "It's not lunch time, and Zhenxiu Restaurant is not open."

Bai Shun: "Tea stall?"

"Not private."

Bai Xing thought for a while and said, "I know what's missing."

Bai Shun said, "I know too."

Bai Li smiled, these two guys are really smart, and he said: "Talking to you, there is a teahouse. It's not that there are no teahouses in Chengzhou Prefecture, some of them have private rooms, and what can attract people to come to us?" where's the teahouse?"

Bai Sheng: "Do we have special tea and snacks?"

Bai Li: "It's a good idea."

Bai Shun: "Our service is very considerate."

Bai Li: "That's right."

Bai Shun: "Master, do you want Bai Xing to open a teahouse?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not exactly the same. What I want to open is a club."

Bai Shun: "The clubhouse?"

Bai Li looked up at the sky: "They all said that our blank life is too small, so let's make it bigger this time."

After speaking, he walked to a tea house, Bai Li stepped in and said, "Go, I invite you two to drink tea."

Bai Shun and Bai Xing quickly waved their hands: "Don't dare."

"bring it on."

Bai Li asked for a private room, ordered a pot of Biluochun, and ordered two refreshments. Bai Shun and Bai Xing sat opposite him cautiously. Both of them were in their 30s and 16s, but facing this [-]-year-old boy, his boss was also Don't dare to make mistakes.

The clubhouse is an activity place that integrates rest, entertainment, business, and food. Bai Li has observed that Chengzhou has a rest place, a horse farm, and local delicacies, but there is no such a place that can integrate all functions into one.

In other words, there is no one-stop clubhouse that allows you to go in and spend a day without thinking about it.

He asked the shopkeeper for a pen and paper, and simply drew a picture.

"There is a large open space in the northern outskirts of the city, with a slight slope, and the terrain is fairly flat. I plan to rent it out and build a clubhouse."

He said while drawing: "The purpose of the clubhouse is to let people go in and not come out, lingering and forgetting, understand?"

"Understand."

"Therefore, eating, drinking, entertainment, rest and discussions must be taken into consideration, and even if the area is too large, internal traffic issues can be considered."

"..."

He talked a lot, Bai Shun and Bai Xing listened with great interest, when he finished, Bai Shun said: "Master, you just built a small city!"

Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "That's pretty much the same thing, how about we call it the city that never sleeps?"

"The city that never sleeps? Great."

"Chengzhou has convenient transportation, and water and land transportation extend in all directions. It is not a bad idea to make a scenic spot here, but the cake should not be too big, but it should be done step by step." Bai Li put away the piece of paper, and his reaction to the two servants was very strong. Satisfied, these two people are not only diligent but also easy to use their brains, such employees are extremely rare.

Bai Xing sat up and asked, "Master, what do you need me to do?"

Bai Li looked at him and said seriously: "I want you to spend all your energy and thoughts on the clubhouse in the next year. At this time next year, the clubhouse will open for business."

Bai Sheng's body was shaken. It is not easy to build a small city in a year. Manpower, material resources and funds are indispensable.

Bai Li said: "I know it's difficult. Our current technology is limited. In this case, I will be responsible for taking down the land first. You can find someone to design it first, and ask Wen Xiucai if there is a way. Show me the design first. Afterwards, we can attract investment to do the specifics.”

Bai Sheng had a lot of questions, but he hesitated for a moment and didn't ask. He decided to start with the plan first, and rely on his own wisdom to let his boss see his value.

Seeing his struggle, Bai Li felt relieved, and after tea, he took Bai Shun to Zhu Bi's place.

Unexpectedly, just in time for Zhu Bi to go out, he looked dignified and frowning, Bai Li hurried over and asked, "My lord, what's bothering you?"

Zhu Bi sighed and said, "Have you been out of the city these days?"

Bai Li: "No."

Zhu Bi waved: "Let's go, follow me out of the city to have a look."

Bai Li obediently followed behind him, and when he left the city, Bai Li was shocked to see people all over the place.

Not many were standing, but most were lying down or sitting. They looked miserable and dressed in rags, so that Bai Li recognized their identities at a glance, looked at Zhu Bi in surprise, and whispered, "Refugees?"

Zhu Bi nodded: "They came from the west. There was too little rain this spring, and there was no harvest in the fields. They came here because they couldn't make it through. Many people died along the way."

Bai Li felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and said softly, "My parents died while fleeing."

Zhu Bi paused, and patted Bai Li's arm lightly: "Your parents must be very pleased to see you now."

Bai Li smiled: "Thank you, sir."

Zhu Bitan said: "We Chengzhou is rich, but we can't accept this huge refugee group. Most of them are infected with diseases. Once they enter the city, it will be a huge disaster."

Bai Li: "Then what should I do?"

Zhu Bi: "Look over there, many big households have set up porridge sheds to provide porridge, but we can't go on like this forever. Our harvest here has not been good in the past two years, thanks to the support of the river, oh, and your soap making recipe Son, the development of this industry has brought many people rich, so as to avoid freezing and starving to death, but the food is still less and less, and the price of food brought by the canal is also high, and it will be a problem in the long run.”

Bai Li looked over and saw that there were indeed many big households giving out porridge, and when they saw Zhu Bi, many people came over to say hello.

Bai Li recognized that many of them were big bosses in the city, so he would be here to watch the porridge in person.

Zhu Bi took these bosses back to the city, and stood and chatted for a while not far from the city gate, and asked, "There are more and more refugees, and the government alone is not enough to control them. Do you have any good ideas?" ?”

The bosses didn't have any good ideas either. Two of them said they would charge some to work at home, but they couldn't charge too much.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Bai Li's mind, and after Zhu Bi had finished talking with the bosses about the relevant matters, he followed back to the government office in a dizzy manner. Zhu Bi looked at him and said, "What's your plan, you monkey?"

Bai Li smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to do some projects recently, without your approval, I dare not talk about it in front of others."

Zhu Bi smiled and called him home. Zhu Peizhi took Xiao Liu'er and was just going out, saying that he was going outside the city to see what he could do, so Zhu Bi let him go.

In the flower hall, Bai Li talked about his plan to build a clubhouse. He said: "If this idea can be realized, I will start working immediately. At that time, a lot of people will be needed to work. Since these refugees cannot enter the city, or You can go over there and find some work."

Zhu Bi thought for a moment and said: "The land in the northern suburbs is nothing. It is a wasteland outside the city. It's just that these people come to you to work, and you have to take care of their food and lodging. Can't spend so much?"

Bai Li: "It will indeed be more difficult, but the season is right now when we can open up wasteland. The weather in Chengzhou is not bad this year, and we can grow some vegetables to some extent. In addition, I need to attract some investment, so help me share some."

"go on."

"The function of the clubhouse is very powerful. I can't do it all by myself. I want to contract out these businesses, such as the accommodation business. If Boss Chen of the Dolly Inn is contracted, then he will have to pay some money. I will make a unified plan. After the dormitory area is built, he can do the maintenance himself, but he must follow the unified regulations of my side. In the future, the operating income of the clubhouse will be his, and he only needs to pay a certain annuity."

"That's fine. In this way, the money on hand of many big households will be pooled together, and the frugality will be enough to last until autumn. No, autumn is not enough. Judging from this year's climate, the harvest can only be mediocre, not a bumper year. Although it can be alleviated to a certain extent, you still have to be prepared to last until next summer."

Bai Li laughed and said, "As long as you agree, we will start business at this time next year, and there will be no shortage of money by then."

Zhu Bi felt a little more at ease in his heart, and said: "You little bastard has a lot of ideas, and there is nothing you dare not think about or do. It's just that this matter is very complicated, there are many entanglements, the project is also large, and there are workers who are good and bad. , you need to worry about it, and you must not rush forward, so how about you go back and come up with a detailed plan and blueprint, and then discuss it with me?"

Bai Li nodded, and asked with his chin: "My lord, I'm a businessman. I buy land, open a store, and earn money. If I lose money or earn money, it's all my own. It stands to reason that I should bear it myself. What are you, the magistrate, thinking about?" nah?"

Zhu Bi glared at him: "I am a parent officer, of course I hope the people under my rule will live well, and you are also my people, so I don't care what's wrong!"

Bai Li smiled: "Why don't you see that you are in charge of other merchants, Donglai Trading Company, our largest exporter in Chengzhou, is as rich as a country, have you ever worried about him?"

"..."

"Zhou's Gold and Silver Building, how rich and powerful is that? I heard that Boss Zhou is going to open two more branches. Can you ask him for the blueprint?"

"..."

"and also......"

"Shut up! Monkey, what are you trying to say?"

"I want to say that you want to help me because you see that I am young and helpless. I understand and appreciate your kindness."

Zhu Bi only felt warm in his heart, his nose was sore, he snorted and said, "Stinky boy, you can play tricks and act like a good boy."

Bai Li said earnestly: "My parents left early, and I suffered from another serious illness. I don't remember much about them, and I don't remember what it's like to be loved by my parents. Walking forward with a heavy mouth, I didn't think there was anything wrong until I met you. I suddenly felt that I was still a child. Some people even gave it a go, so ah, thank you very much."

Zhu Bi's eyes filled with tears, and Bai Li added: "You are the official of the parents, to me, you are really like a father."

Zhu Bi couldn't help wiping the corners of his eyes: "What's wrong with you monkey today, did you cause some trouble?"

"I won't cause trouble, how prudent I am!" Bai Li said with a smile, "I'll go back and write a plan right now."

Zhu Bi smiled and shook his head, and called him to hand over a small package: "You can taste the newly made jujube cake at home."

Bai Li happily said: "Thank you, I will do this too, and next time I will make it for your elder brother!"
