Chapter 709: Improving Tofu

"Youzhou's business has formed a scale, and if we want to win over businessmen, we can only reduce taxes and fees, and even then it will take time to develop."

Li Yuan didn't quite understand why he was still asking those businessmen for so much.

The status of a merchant is the lowest, and if it weren't for his ambition and hegemony, he wouldn't have paid attention to those people at all.

The first thing that Li Shimin promoted from the commercial development was the various stores in Taiyuan Prefecture, the tax exemption, and then the mastery of their purchase channels.

After understanding this, the workshop invested by the Li family became the supplier of these shops, and the business began in this way.

Li Yuan didn't know what to do with so much money to start the workshop, and when Li Shimin made the matter, he knew that as long as this supply relationship was maintained, it would not take long to return to the capital, and he was more and more optimistic about Li Shimin's plan.

In Youzhou, after Li De took charge of the city guard and the vanguard, the rights that belonged to him returned to his hands.

The difference is that he can't continue to be a shopkeeper.

Youxin wants to hand over the castle guard mansion to the woman next to him to take care of it, but unfortunately this situation is really not possible now.

Because he is the governor of Dadu, Li Shimin went to Taiyuan Mansion after his resignation, and the development model is almost the same as Youzhou City, and many people are very puzzled about it.

Li De can understand the Li family, but other people don't think so.

even thought that letting Li Shimin leave would affect the development of Youzhou in the future, and at this time, Li Debu's personal performance would limit the impact to a minimum.

Li De planned the affairs of the city guard, the population increase, the living environment is the primary issue, and work and employment are the top priorities.

The work of the city guard government manages the development and construction of the city, and it is necessary to pay more attention to the problems of people's livelihood, so Li De put the focus on firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

There is no shortage of food in Youzhou City, that is because grain planting and storage are planned, and a large number of people have poured in during this time, and the grain reserves can be held but have to expand the reserves again.

The larger the population, the greater the number of reserves that need to be reserved.

Food alone is not enough, the development of the sixteen states of Youji is very fast, and when the people meet their food needs, they will ask for more.

After a few days of thinking about it, Li De decided to expand the scale of chicken farms and convert grain into meat on the issue of food, and the benefits have changed imperceptibly over time.

Chicken farms to expand recruitment, expand jobs, breeding this kind of thing many people are good at, not to mention that chicken farms are very standardized, with this plan The officials of the city guard government are busy.

The students who carry out the assessment are all engaged in practical work, and the assessment in Youzhou is an internship assessment, on the one hand, they are involved in learning, and their results depend on their performance.

Pig farms also increased their breeding at this time, and many breeding workshops are now in the development stage, and many are not listed.

The current breeding is not comparable to the future generations are needed to breed breeding pigs, and this aspect needs to be scientifically hybridized to obtain excellent breeds, which takes a long time.

The so-called excellent breeds naturally grow fast and have high pork conversion rates, and only with these can they be popularized.

Many things are not in a hurry, and what Li De can do is to try to plan out things that can be realized immediately, such as making some improved food.

Just like at this time, Li De was mixing vinegar and water to improve the production of tofu, and the taste and taste of the tofu that were successfully made were more popular.

Then the construction of the tofu workshop in Youzhou City began, ready to supply the needs of Youzhou City.

To achieve this, you need to build a workshop, make equipment, recruit workers, and so on.

Recruited workers are also subject to training.

The tofu board and other things needed by the tofu workshop have provided orders for the Youzhou workshop, don't look at the tofu workshop, there are a lot of tofu boards needed.

According to Li De's plan, there should be stalls selling tofu in every street, and the supply of new tofu will exceed the demand during the promotion period.

The people of Youzhou are not short of money to buy tofu now, and it itself is a small profit but a quick turnover, the purpose is not only to make money, but also to enrich the public's diet.

The deeper significance is to purchase soybeans grown in northern Liaoning in the future to drive the formation of an industrial chain of crops.

"Dadudu, the first batch of improved tofu produced by the tofu workshop has come out, and it has been distributed to various stalls for trial sale in the morning."

Wei Li went to the city guard mansion to report this matter, who let this be a matter that Li De attaches importance to.

"Let's go, let's see."

When I got out of Youzhou City, I saw people queuing up to buy tofu when I entered the street.

Li De and Wei Li stepped forward to check, and the people selling tofu were all people arranged by the trading house, all of them were the families of hired soldiers, and they were all some elderly women.

There are five or six people in a stall, mainly selling tofu, and it is more conscientious to have a moderate size of tofu for two pennies and a piece.

Other people are selling tofu brain, which is made by straining soybean pulp and boiling it.

A bowl of tofu brain costs two pennies, but the amount is slightly less.

Tofu brain is poured with a spoonful of sauce and served with a cake that is delicious.

A stall with five or six people in charge is like that.

Li De saw a lot of people, and these people were a little too busy, especially most of them came to taste tofu brain, and the most time-consuming thing was to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Because it was a street stall, the few buckets that the women had prepared were not enough.

"Wei Li, didn't you expect business to be so good?"

Wei Li also saw that it was a little ill-conceived to set up a stall under the pretext of the current situation.

"I would ask people to prepare a few stores and increase the number of people, but I didn't expect tofu to be so popular." Wei Li was really surprised.

Li De didn't blame him, this business was the first day of business, who knew it would be so popular.

Wei Li didn't think about Li Deduo, where did he know that the people of Youzhou would care about this money if they lived well.

Just like sugar gourds, as long as there is fresh food, there is no shortage of buyers.

Before the improvement of tofu, the same bean curd was sold, but after the improvement, the current bean curd is more delicious.

Li De and Wei Li walked several streets in a row, inspecting the situation of the newly set up stalls, which were almost overcrowded, and the tofu stalls were replenished several times in the morning, but still not enough to sell.

After the first day of trial operation, statistics are required before the supply of the next workshop can be determined.

"Governor, according to the current hot sales, even if a new tofu workshop is invested, it will not be able to meet the demand, is it planned to build a few more workshops?"

"Whether you need to expand depends on the market demand, and now it has just begun, and the data still depends on the usual demand."

Li De is cautious, the tofu workshop does not want other food, if the tofu cannot be sold on the same day, the tofu will spoil, and it is unwise to blindly increase production.

After Li De explained the shelf life of tofu, Wei Li began to be cautious, he didn't want to make a loss-making deal.
