Li Yi didn't have any doubts about whether Lao Fang went to the kiln last night.
It's not that he believes in his character, but that he doesn't have that much money.
Although the candied haws business brings in money every day, with Lao Fang's current savings, it's really not enough for him to go to the kiln once.
Such gold-selling caves are all places where the real rich go. Old Fang’s mother-in-law manages the money, and it’s not bad to give him a few tens of pennies for pocket money. If you go to that kind of place, even the cheapest girl I can't even cry.
However, although Lao Fang looked a little embarrassed, he seemed to be in a good mood, so Li Yi didn't ask any more questions. In case this is the daily preference of a husband and wife in a two-person room, he is an outsider, so it would be a little embarrassing to ask.
The construction of the workshop should be handed over to Lao Fang and the others. These guys are all multi-faceted experts, farming and herding horses, building walls and fighting, and are proficient in everything. Except for some things that need to be explained in advance, Li Yi doesn't have to worry about it.
The location of the workshop was roughly determined after Li Yi and Lao Fang's investigation.
Considering the security and confidentiality, the workshop cannot be built in the stockade, of course. Open flames are indispensable for purification by distillation, and alcohol is flammable. If something happens and the stockade is set ablaze, it will be very lively.
Of course, confidentiality also played a large part.
Whether it is the production of Ruyilu or the distillation of alcohol, there is not much technical difficulty. Once the secrecy is not done well, someone steals it and spreads it, then naturally don't even think about making money with these two things.
Considering many factors such as transportation and water sources, the address of the workshop was finally chosen outside the stockade, next to a stream near the back mountain.
The stream is not big, and there has never been a flash flood in the past few decades. It is convenient to fetch water and it is extremely safe.
Hand over the drawn blueprints to Lao Fang, you only need to look at it every day, and he doesn't have to worry about other things.
As a man of engineering, although he is not a major in civil engineering or architecture, for Li Yi, things like drawing couldn't be easier.
The drawings of the workshop are modeled after the workshops of later generations. According to the actual situation, only some minor changes have been made.
A few drawings, both flat and three-dimensional, and simple lines, clearly express the structure of the workshop, and it is clear at a glance. Lao Fang and the others only need to build it according to the appearance.
Of course, before that, you have to rent a shop in Fucheng. Originally, you just planned to rent an ordinary shop, but you won that Shen Zhao yesterday, and you have an extra three hundred taels of working capital. Change it accordingly.
Three hundred taels of silver is enough to rent a shop with a better location in a prosperous area.
I originally thought that I would go down the mountain today and rent a shop first. I will do a little decoration in the past few days, and I will take out some Ruyilu for trial sale first. After the workshop is completed, I can mass-produce it.
But changes often come a little bit faster than planned.
I don’t know how many people in the whole village are staring at the candied haws business. In the past, the direct line of the Liu family was not easy to talk about. Of course, they also knew that even if they asked, Fang Laosan and others would definitely not agree, but the success of the fourth and seventh sons , but made them stare round their eyes.
Just by handing over two land deeds, they can sell candied haws under the banner of the Liu family. Although the 50% "franchise fee" makes their hearts hurt when they think about it, as long as they can make the business of candied haws, it is considered a If they hand over 50% of the profits, they can live a much better life than they do now.
No matter how you calculate this account, it is a good deal.
The land is the foundation of their lives. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not hand it over easily, but those lands can only produce how much food in a year. Usually, the years are good, and the family can always eat enough. If the harvest is not good in any year, The whole family had to live with their belts tight.
Then look at those Fang Laosan, how long have you been with that uncle Ruyi, what kind of life is each of them living now, how can these people in direct relationship be balanced in their hearts
So, in the past two days, Li Yi's house was about to be broken down by these people.
Land deeds, franchise fees..., I have already got the information they want from the fourth and seventh sons. When it was mentioned, they made an agreement on their own initiative, 50% is 50%, everyone is 50%, and no one will suffer.
From the beginning to the end, these uncles' attitudes are very humble, and the smiles on their faces should be as kind as possible. After all, no one wants to have trouble with money. What kind of life they will live in the future depends entirely on Li Yi's thoughts between.
Liu Ruyi didn't ask anything about what Li Yi did, but silently collected the land deeds that Li Yi handed over to her. On the contrary, Xiaohuan's pretty face has always been full of smiles these two days. She has been bullied by those people for a long time, and now she sees them talking to uncle with apologetic smiles, and she feels very happy in her heart.
To be honest, Li Yi is not interested in those lands. In this era, it is very simple to buy land only for money, and the land here does not only have the right to use it for decades like later generations. Changes in dynasties and dynasties also recognize the deeds but not the people. What is your land is your land. In order to maintain stability, those in power will not take the land back.
As long as you have the title deed, you are still the owner of the land, and no one can take it away.
Li Yi really didn't like the barren land in Liuye Village, he just took back what should belong to them.
The real reason why the Liu family was allowed to intervene in the candied haws business is that Lao Fang and the others eat meat, so they should leave some soup for others to drink.
Under his wise leadership, the life of Lao Fang and the others will only get better and better in the future, rising steadily. Even if Lao Fang wants to live in a big house and marry a small wife, it is not impossible to look forward to it... There is no harm without comparison. Living in a well-off life, most people in the village are still hovering above the line of food and clothing. The inequality between rich and poor is so great that if this continues, trouble will arise sooner or later.
But now, before such a hidden danger emerged, it was snuffed out by Li Yi.
Of course, it was only the problem of Liu's immediate family that was solved. After all, the most people in the village were former bandits like Lao Fang and others. Their life was even more difficult.
However, for these people, it is the greatest satisfaction for a family to fill their stomachs. This requirement is not too high. There will be no major problems.
