Ever since he came here and became the county magistrate, Xiao Yi had been preparing to deal with the Yellow Turban riot.
All his experience was spent on recruiting and training soldiers.
He had neglected other matters.
Hearing Shen Wansan's words, he remembered that earning money was also very important.
Although the system had given him a lot of money and food, he couldn't just sit around and eat.
Ten billion baht could be spent for a long time, but 100,000 dan of grain would be used up very quickly to feed the people of a county.
If you want to be big and long-term,
He had to seek a path of sustainable development.
This was probably the reason why the system gave Shen Wansan to him.
In terms of making money, this guy was very good at it.
However, Xiao Yi was still a little worried.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Liu, do you think ordinary people have the ability to afford such delicacies?”
A hotpot like this was not cheap. Any dish could cost an ordinary person a few months or even half a year's income.
There were many things that did not exist in this era.
Even if all the dishes were from this era, the hotpot base alone was not cheap.
"My lord, the commoners may not have money, but there is no shortage of rich people in this era.
Earning money from the common people was just a small profit. Only by earning money from high officials and nobles would there be huge profits.”
Shen Wansan pointed out the business opportunity.
Liu Ji nodded in agreement.
"That's right. This world doesn't lack aristocrats, wealthy merchants, and rich officials. The common people might not pursue these delicacies, but if these people tasted them, they would definitely love them and spend a lot of money to enjoy them.”
After a person reached a certain status, they would start to pursue enjoyment.
Shen Wansan said," My lord's hotpot is unique and has a unique taste. The fragrance assaults the nostrils. It will definitely be loved by the dignitaries.
Coupled with the stir-fried vegetables that no one had ever seen before, as well as other cooking methods, if he opened a restaurant, his business would definitely be very hot!”
He had long wanted to mention this idea to Xiao Yi.
However, recently, the county government was short of manpower, and many government affairs needed him to handle. As a result, his true talent was buried and his time to earn money was delayed.
"How can one restaurant be enough? We should open a chain!”
Xiao Yi was also very heroic at the moment.
"What is a chain?"
In the room, the three of them were curious.
"It's to set up a name and then open the same restaurant in different cities and places. As long as the reputation of a restaurant spread, the new restaurants in the future would not need to advertise and would gain a lot of popularity. This was the brand effect.”
Xiao Yi explained patiently.
"Brand effect?" The more Shen Wansan listened, the more spirited he became." Although I don't understand what a brand is, I roughly understand what my lord means.”
"It's good that you understand."
Xiao Yi smiled.
In this era, there were no intellectual property protection measures, and there was no Trademark Registering system.
However, he was the only one in the world who had such technology. He did not have to worry about being copied.
"I'll leave this matter to you. Start-up funds are not a problem.”
Money was just a number in one's pocket. Only by taking it out and using it could one make more money.
"Thank you for your trust, lord. This subordinate has found a restaurant in the market a few days ago and will go and buy it.”
Shen Wansan couldn't sit still anymore. He put down his chopsticks and went to the market. He was afraid that the place he had his eyes on would be taken by someone else.
Everyone shook their heads helplessly when they saw him in such a hurry.
When it came to business, this guy was more enthusiastic than anyone else. He didn't even eat.
"Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"
Liu Ji was a busy man, so he naturally wouldn't come over for no reason.
"You haven't had lunch yet, right? Sit down and eat while we talk.”
The beautiful world between the two had been broken by Shen Wansan. Xiao Yi decided to leave Liu Ji behind and deal with political affairs first.
Liu Ji was indeed busy.
"My lord, many refugees have recently come from the surrounding counties. The land we have collected is not enough. This subordinate has a few suggestions and would like to ask the lord for his opinion.”
Zhuo County was a mountainous area, so there was not much land to begin with. A large portion of it was in the hands of the aristocratic families and landlords.
Previously, Xiao Yi had collected a lot of barren land and changed the farming system, handing it over to the local people and refugees who had no land to cultivate.
However, as the number of refugees increased, the land became insufficient.
"Tell me."
"The first is to take the land of the landlord and manage it together with the landlord. In this case, the landlord would definitely take a large portion of the profits.
The second was to burn the forest and fill the lake. This way, they could obtain more land for reclamation.
The third was to postpone the refugee introduction plan.
These methods are the result of my subordinates 'discussion. Please make a decision.”
Before he came, he had already met Ji Xiaolan, He Shen, and the others.
They felt that these three suggestions were the most suitable.
However, Xiao Yi decisively rejected his proposal after hearing it." It's definitely not possible to cooperate with the landlord. It will make me feel like I'm living under someone else's roof."
Burning the forest to fill the lake was equivalent to killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Even if they obtained farmland, it would not last long.
I have a way to solve the problem of population!”
In this era, technology was backward, and talent was the number one productive force.
Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't refuse when someone came to seek refuge with him!
