I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Once these people have problems, it will affect the turnover and profit of a store at a small level, and the entire brand will be affected at a large scale.

But from the point of view of today's conversation, they are indeed smart people. At least for now, everyone should be fine in the stage of entrepreneurial struggle.

As for what to do in the future when these people's petty thoughts rise up again after the rising period of their careers, that can only be said at that time.

Zhang Nuo looked at the group of people on the opposite side, and after thinking about it, he finally reminded,

"Everyone, many of your colleagues will be disabled soldiers who have been on the battlefield in the future. When the time comes, don't pity them, and don't praise them!"

"Just like you, it's not easy for them, so don't fight each other in this world of mortals, just live your own life! Do you understand?"

The waiter on the opposite side was taken aback when he heard this, and he was the oldest one. He was the first to react, and quickly stood up and said yes.

Zhang Nuo saw that the others were a bit slow, and some of them were still in a daze, so he didn't say much. After all, emotional intelligence is something that sometimes takes time to work out slowly.

As long as it is not the kind of brain that lacks a single muscle, you will gradually understand.

After Zhang Nuo said what he had to say, he didn't stay long, and took Lao Fang for a stroll, intending to go home.

Lao Fang followed behind, and asked in a low voice as soon as he left the door,

"Patriarch, these servants don't seem to believe what you said?"

Zhang Nuo smiled, shook his head and said,

"They have lived in the palace for so many years, how could they easily trust a person, if they really have that kind of temperament, I'm afraid their bones will be gone by now!"

"As for me, I don't ask them to believe me so much now, I just tell them those things, and then they see it with their own eyes, and they will naturally understand!"

"Besides, I'm looking for someone to work for me, not to make friends. It's fine if they can do the job well for me. Don't you have to be accepted? Lao Fang, don't ask too much! "

Chapter 282

Zhang Nuo was going back to sleep, but someone was tossing and turning on the bed.

Cheng Yaojin's mind is now full of the words that Zhang Nuo said to those disabled soldiers in the school ground today, and those words are lingering around, as if they are like scriptures chanted by a Bodhisattva, constantly echoing in his ears.

He has been in the army for more than ten years, and has killed and injured countless people. With his bravery and a little luck, he finally made it to where he is today.

But in the past ten years or so, how many of his old brothers and buddies from back then have died or been injured, all of them were nothing more than bad luck, and it was all over.

But for those who were injured, as far as he knew, they couldn't live for many days, and they ended up with a knife.

He has helped many wounded soldiers, but he has not helped many more. It can even be said that if there is no serious trouble at home, they would not usually find him here.

He also thought about how to deal with the hundreds of thousands of disabled soldiers accumulated over the years.

But after much deliberation, I still didn't think of a safe solution.

It is impossible for the imperial court to support them completely. The imperial court does not have the ability. If it really wants to support tens of 10 people every day and year after year, then the court does not need to do other things, just do this.

Therefore, even if this is cruel, in fact, the imperial court really doesn't have that ability. It can only give a part of the pension when it is discharged from the army, and there is nothing afterwards.

But what's the use?How long will the money last?Who will cultivate those lands?

But this is already the limit of what the court can do.

Why are there so many generals in the DPRK and China, but no one has ever spoken out for the disabled soldiers under his command?

It is because everyone knows that it is useless to say it. At most, adding a little pension once in a while is the limit. Others are really impossible.

Cheng Yaojin originally thought that this matter would end up like this, after all, the court had nothing to do, so what else could it do.

But today, after hearing Zhang Nuo's words, he couldn't sit still.

Those who can sit in the position of leading general, not to mention that everyone loves soldiers like children, but at least they know and understand soldiers.

Therefore, Cheng Yaojin understood how important it is to treat remnants equally while allowing them to support themselves.

He was not Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo didn't know Lao Li's real identity, he only thought that he was a royal relative, but he knew, that was His Majesty.

Since it is a business partnership with His Majesty, wouldn't it be enough for His Majesty to accept more remnants?

Thinking of this, Cheng Yaojin didn't have the slightest intention to sleep, so he got up and walked outside.

"Prepare the horse for the old man, the old man is going to the palace!"

Cheng Yaojin also has a house in Zhuangzi, but he often lives in Chang'an City. Several of his generals have already discussed and lived in Zhuangzi in turn.

After all, others don't know, so doesn't it mean that Li Shimin doesn't know how miraculous the things in Zhuangzi are?

Not to mention anything else, just those few kinds of fairy food with amazing yields are worth their desperate protection.

When Cheng Yaojin entered the city, it happened that the city gates were closed under curfew, fortunately they arrived one step earlier.Otherwise, it would be a bit troublesome to enter the city.

It is more convenient for Cheng Yaojin to enter the palace than to knock on the city gate. After all, he is also a confidant of His Majesty. If he can enter the palace at night to report something, it must be something urgent. Naturally, the guards at the palace gate will not stop him.

Li Shimin, who was about to read a book before taking a rest, also frowned after receiving the servant's report. What could make Cheng Yaojin come here at night?

He knew that this idiot Cheng Yaojin was not a diligent and caring person, and he would never come here at night if it was not an emergency.

But in the end, Li Shimin, who was in a hurry, even avoided Cheng Yaojin's greeting, and directly waved him over for questioning, but Cheng Yaojin's answer made him dumbfounded.

What is this all about, running here in such a hurry at night just to let him hire more remnants?

Cheng Yaojin saw the anxious expression on Li Shimin's face,

"Your Majesty, you can't ignore it. This is to give hope to the remnants of the army. As shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said, if these people don't see hope, they are really useless!"

Li Shimin sighed heavily when he heard this,

"Zhijie, why didn't I care about it? Those soldiers are all throwing their heads and blood for the great Tang Dynasty. It's too late for me to be grateful. How can I not want them to live better?"

"However, you have to know that not only the imperial court can't afford to support those remnants of the army, but brother Zhang and I can't afford to support them either!"

Cheng Yaojin heard this and hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, it's not for you to provide for them, but to give them the opportunity to work. As long as those remnant soldiers have a job that can earn money to support their families, it's fine. They will work hard!"

Li Shimin shook his head with a wry smile,

"Zhijie, you have to know that shopkeeper Zhang did all of my business. I just paid some money and then took care of things. The staff were recruited according to the orders of shopkeeper Zhang!"

"Judging from what you reported today, my righteous brother is obviously sympathetic to the court and is willing to contribute to the court, otherwise he wouldn't take care of those remnants!"

"But he didn't even open his mouth to continue recruiting, that's because there is really no arrangement at the moment! After all, after the disabled soldiers are physically disabled, their actions are still somewhat different from normal people, not all jobs can be done!"

Cheng Yaojin could only sigh heavily when he heard this,

"Your Majesty, I sincerely hope that those soldiers can have a reliable home. Your Majesty is also a person who knows soldiers, so I should be able to understand what I think!"

Li Shimin nodded silently,

"Of course I know that those soldiers, if I have the energy, will naturally help out a lot, but now I really have more energy than I want, even if I do some business with the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, I will earn more money!"

"You know, you should know that I am not only responsible for the remnant army, but also responsible for the whole world. How many places in this world ask for money?"

"My little money, although it can improve a little, but it is still a drop in the bucket after all, the foundation is too weak!"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head dejectedly, feeling extremely depressed in his heart, he is not a civil servant, he doesn't understand and is not good at this kind of political affairs, now that Li Shimin raised the question, he became even more depressed.

However, Cheng Yaojin has a unique skill, and that is cheating. This is a unique skill he has tried repeatedly in front of Li Shimin!

"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng definitely can't think of any other way at the moment. Lao Cheng is not a civil servant, and he doesn't understand political affairs. Anyway, this matter is here. Your Majesty, please think of a way!"

Li Shimin looked at the rascal Cheng Yaojin in front of him and was speechless, so why can I bear it until now if I have a way?

Chapter 283 Get the first supplier

Zhang Nuo entered Chang'an City early in the morning, accompanied by Gouzi and Xingben!

It was supposed to be Lao Fang who came here, but Lao Fang has been too busy recently, he is almost like a village head now, and he has to take care of many things in the village.

After all, the newcomers in Zhuangzi didn't understand many rules, and there were still many things they didn't understand, so all the troubles came to Zhang's house.

But Lao Fang didn't dare to bother Zhang Nuo with these things. After all, in his opinion, if the Patriarch still needs to do these things, then he is too useless.

Therefore, Lao Fang bravely shouldered this responsibility.Then, there is no more, Lao Fang is more tired than a dog during this time.

After all, a Zhuangzi with tens of thousands of people, big and small, old and young, how can there be less friction, and all kinds of problems will have to be mediated by Lao Fang in the end.

If it's really a big deal, it's natural to report it to the officials, but most of the time, it's not a big deal at all, it's just a trivial matter, so I naturally ask Lao Fang for mediation.

On the one hand, Lao Fang was as tired as someone else, but on the other hand, he was very happy. After all, in the early years, he was a lonely person who had been living alone.

Now he can not only get along with people, but also be respected by others. He naturally cherishes this opportunity, although this respect comes from the fact that he is the housekeeper of the Zhang residence.

But he had already sold himself as a slave to the Zhang family. Isn't the glory of the Zhang family his glory?

What's more, Liu Sanniang had agreed to ask Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang what they meant this morning. As long as Da Zhuang brothers had no objections, she would agree to live with him in the future.

Therefore, Lao Fang wandered around Zhuangzi with great interest early this morning.

The main purpose of Zhang Nuo pulling Gouzi out is to find the way. As a purchaser for the family, he is also a candidate for training the next housekeeper. Gouzi is very familiar with him in Chang'an City.

Zhang Nuo came here today to deal with the suppliers, but which workshop has good products and which workshop has a bad reputation, this information can only be known by a gangster like Gouzi.

However, in order for Zhang Nuo to get off to a good start, the first stop he went to was Yongpingfang, which he was most familiar with. There was a supplier of ironware products that he was about to support.

The last time Lao Zhu was kidnapped by his wife and children, he didn't hurt Zhang Nuo. Zhang Nuo felt that this Lao Zhu seemed to be quite affectionate, so naturally he had to make up for it.

If it’s free money, Lao Zhu really doesn’t need it, so let Lao Zhu be a supplier. Basically, as long as his supermarket chain survives, Lao Zhu’s business will not be cut off.

This can be regarded as a benefit to Lao Zhu.

When Zhang Nuo came to Lao Zhu's place, Lao Zhu was working hard in the shop.

When he saw Zhang Nuo, he was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile,

"Boss, why are you here?"

Zhang Nuo still likes Lao Zhu's straightforward personality, everyone is relaxed when he is straightforward,

"Old Zhu, it's like this. Your business here is not very good. I think I have to give you a hand, so I will give you some business. Do you want to do it?"

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile, and replied directly,

"If you have a business, you have to do it. It's spring now, and the stove is not as easy to sell as before. I just happened to be thinking about getting some other things recently!"

Zhang Nuo knew it would be like this. Blacksmith shops, unless they made some prohibited things, it was actually really difficult to make money under normal circumstances.

Lao Zhu is not bad, he has a stove business to do in winter, even if a large number of them are taken away by the aristocratic family, at least he can make a lot of money.

But it will be different in spring. This kind of stove will hardly be sold after the weather is warm. After all, ordinary people don’t have much money in their pockets.

If you can survive, who wants to spend money on a stove.

"Old Zhu, it's like this. If you were to send a batch of kitchen knives to my shop every month, how much would you charge? How much would you be able to deliver?"

Lao Zhu was taken aback when he heard this, but he was still a little disappointed. He thought it was another new object like a stove, but it turned out to be a kitchen knife.

Kitchen knives are actually not high-tech. Even if you do it with care, you can make a few in a day without cutting corners, but the profit of this thing is too low.

But since shopkeeper Xiao Zhang wants it, then give me a real price.

"Shopkeeper, these kitchen knives are available in the market for [-] cents apiece. Old Zhu, I have pretty good craftsmanship here. If you want one, [-] cents a piece. How many do you want?"

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"It's not how much I want, but how much can you provide a month?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he became vaguely excited. The kitchen knife business really didn't make much money. A kitchen knife only cost five cents. Now that he lowered the price, the profit was only three cents.

But from what the shopkeeper said, what you need is not just one or two!

Then this business has been discussed, after all, no matter how cheap something is, as long as it is measured, how much profit can it be?

Lao Zhu himself is a smart person, now he realizes that his opportunity has come, so he said quickly,

"Shopkeeper, as long as the iron material can keep up, Lao Zhu, I can supply a hundred pieces a month, and the quality is absolutely reliable!"

Zhang Nuo frowned, a little dissatisfied, one hundred?

He intends to sell these daily necessities as promotional products, the kind that don't make money but only run sales, so that they can attract a lot of popularity.

But now these one hundred kitchen knives have a fart use!

The population of Chang'an has exceeded one million at the moment, and it is a super big city. Once his supermarket chain plan is launched, the flow of people and shopping volume will definitely be a severe test for stocking up.

And it's not just one store, but many stores are going to open together, and the one hundred kitchen knives will not be enough to share.

At the same time, Zhang Nuo is also worried about a problem, that is, if the quality of the supply is different from store to store, it will be a lot of trouble at that time.

After all, I'm afraid of comparing products. They are sold by stores under the same brand. I bought Lao Zhu's kitchen knives here, but I bought Lao Zhang's kitchen knives in another store.
