Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 604 New Year’s Plan

Having said that, Li Wen and Juxiang took the drawings and looked at them carefully.

The more they looked at it, the more excited they became. They simply loved the new workshop drawings based on the modern factory model.

Li Wen's hands were shaking as he held the blueprint. "Madam, this blueprint is really perfect. Who came up with this? This blueprint is absolutely amazing."

Xu Han just smiled and said nothing. Li Wen immediately understood that most of this drawing must have been made by her wife.

Juxiang was also very excited. She looked at Xu Han with more admiration in her eyes, and thought to herself, "Her wife is really too smart to be able to think of this."

Seeing that the two had no objections, Xu Han continued, "Since you all think it's okay, then build it according to this, but you can make it a little bigger when building it.

Try to build it all at once, so that if it gets too small later, you won’t have to expand it further.”

Seeing Li Wen's hesitation, Xu Han guessed his thoughts and said, "Go ahead and do it. Your wife is not short of money now."

In addition to the 500 taels of gold bestowed by the emperor, the silver earned from selling sweet potato wine before the New Year was nearly taels, plus more than kilograms of canned fruit, which also earned more than taels.

There is also the sales from the fruit wine and mountain product shops. Adding all the miscellaneous items together, after deducting the costs, the net profit is about 2800 taels of silver.

All this money added up to a total of 3800 taels of silver, not counting the rest of the change, this is the amount of silver currently in the house.

Xu Han was still a little hesitant about spending 800 taels of silver directly to build a house and another 200 taels of silver to invest in equipment and build a workshop.

But when I think about the money that can be made from sweet potato wine in the future, I don’t feel bad anymore.

Compared with the revenue brought by sweet potato wine, this amount of money is a drop in the bucket and means nothing.

When she thought of this, Xu Han no longer felt sad.

Otherwise, there is still so much land at the foot of the mountain, and the decision to build a large workshop at the foot of the mountain will not be a loss in total.

Seeing that his wife had a plan, Li Wen stopped trying to persuade her and nodded in agreement.

Xu Han continued, "Tomorrow you will take Han Qi to order bricks and tiles, and then stay in the county town to prepare to find workers to build the house, and also start making arrangements for tenant farmers and long-term workers.

After the beginning of spring, the land at the foot of the mountain will also begin to be planted.

Farm tools and other equipment must be fully equipped, and all the necessary livestock must be purchased. If you need money, go to Juxiang to withdraw it.

Don't be afraid of spending money, we will be equipped with these things sooner or later.

It is better to buy early than late. The sooner you buy, the sooner you can use it and the sooner you can save trouble. "

Li Wen took the notebook and wrote down the tasks assigned by Xu Han one by one, preparing to think carefully about how to do them after returning.

Afterwards, Xu Han continued to say to Juxiang, "Juxiang, from now on you will be responsible for the affairs in the shop and the workshop.

You and Li Wen both have your own strengths. You are a woman, and it is not as convenient as a man to do things outside.

So from now on, you two will work separately. Li Wen will be responsible for expanding the territory outside, and you will be responsible for taking care of the home.

From now on, you will be responsible for all revenue and activities in the shop.

You also need to take care of things in the workshop.

You two can train smart and capable people from among the existing ones. If there is anything in the future, just follow the model I mentioned before and hand it over to them and let them report directly to me."

The two nodded to show their agreement with what Xu Han said. In fact, before Xu Han said this, they could vaguely feel that they were responsible for different areas.

Now, Xu Han has made it clear directly. Not only has he expressed his trust in them, he has also directly invested a large amount of money and let them go ahead and do it.

The two of them would naturally not refuse and immediately expressed that they would never let the lady down.

Xu Han waved her hand and said, "This year, let's do a good job in the county business first.

By the second half of the year, it is possible to expand the shop to the provincial capital, or even the capital.

Our sweet potato wine has been sent to the palace to be presented to the emperor. There will definitely be a large order after the New Year. It depends on whether we can seize this overwhelming wealth. "

Xu Han once again felt the benefit of having a high status to get things done. In the past, she never dared to imagine that her business could become so big.

If she follows her previous plan, it would be great if she could open a store in Beijing within five years.

It is true that plans cannot keep up with changes. With the blessing of status, everything can be done conveniently.

"Madam Hahaha, we promise to complete the task and strive to open a store in Beijing this year."

"Okay, okay, I hope everyone's wishes will come true this year, and everyone can get a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Han arranged the tasks and said to Li Wen, "When you go down the mountain tomorrow, remember to bring your wife and children with you.

You are in the county town and they are in the mountains. It is not a good thing for you to be separated all the time. Take her with you when things stabilize this year!

She can also read and write, and can help you with some things.”

When Li Wen heard this, she laughed so hard that her eyes could not be seen. "Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am."

Xu Han waved her hand with a look of disdain, "Alright, alright, hurry down. Take whoever you need to cooperate with, and everyone will have to cooperate with you this time.

Whether it's money or materials or personnel, if you need any help, just come to me.

Whether our family can get back on track depends on this.

You two have a difficult task ahead of you. Don't take it lightly. Remember to think twice before you act."

The two of them agreed solemnly. Before they left, Xu Han immediately said, "Call Old Man Zhu and his wife. I have something to tell them."

Both Juxiang and Li Wen are important in the new year.

Especially for Li Wen, the two tasks she was assigned were no small matter. Both the workshop and the farmland were the foundation of her family.

At this point, Xu Han was no longer afraid that he would be unfaithful.

She really couldn't imagine what would happen if Li Wen and Juxiang left her.

Even if nothing had happened to their previous master, based on their previous condition, they would probably never be able to achieve this position even if they worked hard until they died.

Therefore, there was no reason for the two of them to betray Xu Han.

More importantly, what Xu Han gave was really not a small amount. Whether it was in terms of money or various food benefits, Xu Han was generous.

This time, the wages of both of them and the small managers under them also increased, and it was not increased little by little. Xu Han directly doubled their wages.

Their current wages are really considerable, which is really tempting.

Of course, Xu Han will have to keep a close eye on them in the future, and give them a warning when necessary. She must not let them get carried away and do things that they shouldn't do.
