Han Jingyun and Han Shu, feeling the dark side of things, hugged Mrs. Liu tightly, one on the left and the other on the right, as if they were afraid that their mother would regret it.
Han Du was also very happy. He was happy that he didn't have to do anything himself. Moreover, he had not gone to a restaurant to have a big meal. The restaurant he and Zhu Biao went to last time was not a restaurant at all.
It's a relatively good restaurant. The food tastes average, not as good as cooking it yourself.
"Mom, how much is the profit of the workshop?" Han Du asked casually.
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu said without thinking: "This time I sent more than 600 guan. I didn't expect that in just a short period of time, there was a profit of more than 600 guan. This briquette looks inconspicuous, but the profit is really a lot.
Shopkeeper Gao said that this is just the beginning, and the profits may be even greater in the future."
"I made back all the money I spent to buy the workshop in one go, which is pretty good." Han Du nodded and thought.
The price of briquettes seems to be low and the profit is meager, but it cannot support the large sales volume. The business of briquettes is originally a volume-based thing. Coupled with Lao Zhu's random pricing for Handu, Handu is now able to almost double the price.
Profit, it would be weird if you don’t make money.
Now that he has money, there is no reason to wrong himself. With a wave of his hand, Han Du decided to go to the top restaurant in the capital to celebrate.
After hearing this, Ms. Liu originally wanted to object, but when she saw Han Jingyun and Han Shu cheering for joy, she had no choice but to hold back her words.
The Han family was very happy to have a meal in the restaurant, and even Han Du felt that the trip was worthwhile. The steamed fat sheep and the roast duck with fruit and wood were all dishes that Han Du had never eaten before. Moreover, after the prosperity of Song and Yuan Dynasties,
With the development, these dishes can now be considered to be full of color, flavor and taste.
The most important thing is that there are no chemical flavorings added to the dishes at all, and they all have a purely natural taste, making it very enjoyable to eat.
...
Han Du came to the banknote bureau and called Mr. Huang and Xiong Shi in front of him.
"What are your orders, sir?" Xiong Shi, Huang and Lao asked in unison.
Han Du nodded and said, "I called you here because I have important matters." Then Han Du told the two of them his proposal and the result that the emperor agreed to his idea.
"Sir, is this true?" Mr. Huang was very happy. He did not expect that such a good thing would happen to a craftsman. You Zi asked in disbelief. Strictly speaking, Mr. Huang is also a craftsman. If Mr. Han's
If the idea can be realized, then he will be qualified to be allocated a residence.
Who could not be happy if a house fell from the sky and fell into his arms for no reason?
Han Du nodded calmly.
However, compared to Huang Lao's sudden joy, Xiong Shi showed a sense of worry.
"Sir, although our banknote collection office now has enough money, it is impossible to build more than a hundred houses. Moreover, the banknote office is not big, and there is simply not enough space to build it. Even if there is enough space to build it,
That lumber is also a huge expense. I am worried that even if we can build the house, our money will be completely consumed. And we have no source of income now..."
The current money of the Baobao Lifting Department is still earned by Han Du from the last business of the Ministry of Works. However, it is impossible for the Ministry of Works to have such business every month. This kind of business is almost a one-time deal.
The current monthly expenses of the Baochao Lifting Company, not counting the expenses of various raw materials, the salaries of the craftsmen and the expenses of the two canteens, are a large sum of money.
There are nearly a hundred craftsmen, which works out to 100 guan a month. And the expenses of the canteen are not small, almost reaching 10 guan per month.
Just these two items are an expenditure of 200 yuan.
Moreover, Han Du also paid rewards to craftsmen from time to time. He rewarded craftsmen twice in a row, and Han Du paid out more than 1,000 strings of rewards.
At the beginning, Han Du earned about 70,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Industry. All of this money was rushed into the account of the Baoqian Lifting Department. But with Han Du's various expenses later, this money has been used up for 20 years.
More than 10,000 yuan, but less than 50,000 taels of silver are left.
If we go by the current expenses of the Baoqian Lifting Company, it will naturally last for several years. But if it is used to build a hundred houses, it may not be enough. Even if we mobilize the craftsmen to do it themselves
Construction, once the construction is completed, I'm afraid there won't be anything left with the money.
You must know that the wood, bricks and stones used to build a house are not cheap.
When Lao Zhu built the capital city, the cost of building a brick on the city wall alone was two to three hundred yuan, and it was just a brick.
Tens of thousands taels of silver seemed like a lot, but Xiong Shi didn't know if he could buy enough materials to build the house.
Han Du heard Xiong Shi's worry, but Han Du had his own plans and didn't care at all.
"Not that much, and the house I built this time is different from the houses you know. Not only does it not require a large space, but it also doesn't require any wood, bricks, stones, etc."
None of them are needed? So how should we build this house?
Xiong Shi and Huang Lao looked at each other, and they didn't understand how Han Du could build the house without using these things. However, they had always seen adults who could think of things that others didn't think of, and things that others had never thought of.
What he says and does is different from ordinary people, but he is able to do things surprisingly well every time.
Therefore, neither of them expressed any preconceived objections, but quietly waited for Han Du's next words.
"I decided to use steel, cement, and sand to build a house, oh, a house. Among these things, we can make steel ourselves. The price is very low. There are almost no other expenses except the cost of iron ore.
The same goes for cement. Sand is also easy to deal with. You can just have people dig it by the river, and you can even save money."
After Han Du finished speaking, he looked at the two people.
Xiong Shi pondered for a moment and replied: "If this method can really be achieved, the cost will be much smaller, maybe ten thousand taels of silver will be enough."
When Han Du heard this, he sneered, "What ten thousand taels of silver? According to my estimate, five thousand taels is enough." What Han Du planned to build was the Tongzi Tower. What is the biggest feature of the Tongzi Tower? In addition to being able to occupy the smallest area
, apart from housing the most people. That is, building a tube building is the most economical way to save materials. The top, bottom, left and right sides of a family's house are shared with other people. Just this alone, the raw materials used to build a family can almost meet the needs of four people.
