Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 127 Bing Jingwu (Coming!)
Since the emperor didn't care about these things, Sun Sigong dared to speak up and said with a smile: "Su Yun has been in Bianjing for quite some time. Does the emperor want to meet him?"

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "What has Su Yun been doing recently?"

Sun Sigong was the most trusted eunuch around Zhao Xu, and the Bingjing Affairs under the Imperial City Department was under the charge of Sun Sigong.

The so-called Imperial City Division is an organization similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

There are two departments under the Imperial City Department, one is called the Investigation Department and the other is called the Ice Well Department.

As the name suggests, the Ice Well Service is actually an organization that specializes in collecting and storing ice, but some things are not that simple.

The Imperial City Administration had a formal organization, and its officials were military officers of high rank. However, emperors were always suspicious, so the Ice Well Affairs was incorporated into the Imperial City Administration, and the Ice Well Affairs were staffed by eunuchs.

The Ice Well Service needed to go out to collect and store ice, and even run businesses like ice rooms, so it had contact with the outside world. With contact, it could obtain all kinds of news, giving the emperor an additional channel of information.

The reason why Sun Sigong paid so much attention to Su Yun and was familiar with Romance of the Three Kingdoms was naturally because Zhao Xu asked him to investigate Su Yun.

Sun Sigong smiled and said, "Your Majesty may not believe me, but Su Yun has been running a small business recently. What does he do? Oh, yes, egg-filled pancakes. I heard it's a new thing."

Zhao Xu was surprised and said, "It sounds like this thing is just a cake or something like that. It's really a small business. I heard you say that Su Yun is good at business and that he has a lot of wealth. How come he went to make this thing?"

Sun Sigong shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can only let people find out what he is doing, but it is not easy to find out what his intention is.

However, in my opinion, it is probably for the purpose of making money, because this business may sound small, but it may actually be quite big.”

Zhao Xu said nonchalantly, "How big can a small food stall be? Can it be turned into a Fanlou?"

Sun Sigong laughed and said, "The emperor underestimated Su Yun. According to the children's report, this small food stall has expanded to more than a dozen stalls.

According to the children's investigation, the daily profit of each stall can reach 4,000 coins, and with more than a dozen stalls, that would be more than 40,000 coins."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "More than 40,000 coins, less than 52 strings of cash. More than 1,500 strings of cash a month, nearly 20,000 strings of cash a year..."

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, "...How much is a day's wages now? I remember it should be around 200 to 300 wen?"

Sun Sigong nodded and said, "About two or three hundred coins."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "There are more than a dozen people, 300 coins each, that's 3,000 to 4,000 coins a day, more than 50 strings a month, more than 1,400 strings a year, that is to say, this kid can earn more than 10,000 strings a year... That's really good."

Sun Sigong said quickly, "Sir, it's not that simple. Su Yun plans to open this stall all over Tokyo. He said that there must be at least 300 stalls and at least 1,000 people. His goal is to earn at least 300,000 guan every year!"

Zhao Xu glanced sideways and asked, "Three hundred thousand strings of cash?"

Sun Sigong nodded and said, "That's what Su Yun said to those ruffians he recruited."

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Are the people he recruited still ruffians?"

Sun Sigong nodded and said, "Yes, they are all rogues. From the information gathered by the children, I can roughly guess why he wants to recruit rogues.

He said that once this business was established, countless people would covet it, such as local tiger tooth shops and guilds, and he wanted those rogues to fight against those tooth shops and the like. "

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's understandable, but if these people gather together, they will inevitably oppress the people."

Sun Sigong laughed and said, "They don't have time to oppress the people. Their stalls are very busy every day. Besides, most of the rogues are unemployed. Once they have a job, they will not bother to do rogue things."

Zhao Xu was surprised and said, "This is actually a good thing. Yes, only when you have a job can you live in peace. When you have enough food and clothing, you will know etiquette. If they can make money, they will naturally not be rogues. This is a great good thing. Haha, but it is not easy to make money. So far, there are only a dozen stalls. If they can really expand to 300 stalls, they may be able to make money. But in my opinion, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Sun Sigong asked, "It seems to me that they are doing well. They only had one stall a few days ago, but now they have more than a dozen stalls."

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Each of these egg-filled pancakes needs an egg, right? If each stall sells a thousand filled pancakes a day, it will consume a thousand eggs.

Now, with more than ten stalls, the number of eggs consumed per day is already 10,000 to 20,000. If there are really 200 to 300 stalls, wouldn’t it mean that 300,000 eggs will be consumed every day?
Let’s not talk about whether such a large quantity can be supplied. Even if it can be supplied, with such a large quantity, haven’t those businesses ever thought of strangling him?
The egg-filled pancakes are making so much money, of course they want to get involved. All they need to do is cut off the supply for a few days to force Su Yun to back down.

In fact, this is the most ideal situation. In my opinion, it will be difficult for them to expand to two or three hundred stalls.

These people are all rogues. If they open a stall, they can earn at least 4,000 coins a day, but if they work for Su Yun, they can only get 200 to 300 coins a day. Do you think they will rebel?"

Sun Sigong frowned upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Sure enough, the emperor has thought deeply about this, while Su Yun hasn't thought it through thoroughly enough. Although he gave two coins to those rogues, it's still not enough compared to four thousand coins."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhao Xu seemed quite interested.

Sun Sigong said: "Each cake has a profit of four cents. Su Yun bears the cost of the stall cart and all other costs. He only takes two cents from the profit of each cake, and gives the remaining two cents to the person in charge of recruiting and the person selling the stuffed cakes. He also suggested that the recruiter only take half a cent, and the remaining one and a half cents are given to the person doing the work."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "One and a half cents, that means there are 1,500 people working every day. How many people are there in one stall?"

Sun Sigong quickly said, "There are two of them."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, “Each person can earn nearly 800 coins a day… The leader can earn even more, and each stall can receive 500 coins.

If you can manage ten stalls, you can earn 5,000 coins. If you manage fifty stalls, you can earn 25,000 coins. That means at least 30 strings of cash a day, 900 strings of cash a month, and 10,000 strings of cash a year!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I said that with this kid's ability, it is impossible for him to leave such a hidden danger.

With so much profit, these leaders must do everything they can to maintain this huge profit. It is probably possible for one person to maintain a team of about a hundred people.

This kid is quite surprising, his wisdom is really extraordinary, it seems that he is not just talking on paper. "

Sun Sigong quickly praised him, "No matter how powerful that guy is, he is not as good as the emperor. The emperor only knows a few minor details, but he immediately analyzed the risks so clearly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes."

Zhao Xu laughed and scolded, "You old slave, how can you compare like this?
I rule the world and govern tens of millions of people. This is only a matter involving a few thousand people, so naturally I can see it clearly.

But I have been learning from the king since I was young, and that kid lost his parents at a young age, so it is also very remarkable that he can have such wisdom. "

Sun Sigong smiled awkwardly.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Please arrange for us to meet. I am quite interested."

Sun Sigong nodded quickly and said, "Yes, sir, you will meet the officials tomorrow. Can you give me a quarter of an hour?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Just stay until the end. If you can chat, chat a little more. If you can't chat, then don't chat."

Sun Sigong quickly accepted the order.

"Wait." Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "Bring me Su Yun's investigation file and I'll take a closer look."

Sun Sigong narrowed his eyes slightly and said quickly, "Yes."
