"Winemaking is definitely earned!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I brewed some good wine in the next house, and I will ask someone to send it to your mansion later, and you will know when you drink it." ”

Wu Haogu's "brewing" is a two-pot head! Historically, it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that similar distilled liquor appeared, and now it has come out decades earlier, and it is the only good liquor in the world. And it is in the hands of Wu Haogu, a profiteer who is very good at advertising and pretending.

When the time comes, it will be good to publicize it, and it will be no problem to package the second pot head into a royal wine fairy brew, and sell it as expensive as Moutai! It's impossible not to make money......

"As for maritime trade and shipbuilding," Wu Haogu smiled, "don't think it's difficult for you to do it, as long as someone carries it, you can earn it." ”

"With it?" Ji Yi frowned, "Who will take it?" ”

He also thought that Wu Haogu would ask the Ji family to help. This is a ...... It's not completely non-negotiable, it's okay to give a boat and support a few old sailors, don't think about it any more.

"Haizhou Wu family." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "They will soon have a big deal, and the family can't eat it, so they must share some of it." ”

Ji Yi only understood when he heard this, "Could it be that the Korean people and the female straight people are fighting?" ”

"yes." Wu Haogu smiled and nodded, "This deal is big enough, right?" ”

"Impossible." Ji Yi immediately shook his head and said, "How much munitions business can Goryeo have?" How could the Wu family not be able to eat it? ”

"Who said we were going to do business with the Koreans?" Wu Haogu sneered, "The Goryeo people's business is all given to the Wu family." ”

Ji Yi's eyes widened, "Then we want it, we want it...... Doing business with a straight woman? ”

"yes!" Wu Hao Gu said, "If no one sells military supplies to the female straight people, the Korean people may soon defeat the female straight people, and what will the Wu family's business do at that time?" And the Wu family can't do business with female straight people, if the king of Goryeo knows, will their Wu family's business in Goryeo still be done? So this business can only be done by us, and the Wu family has to help us build ships and train sailors. ”

He's right! Ji Yi thought to himself: During this time, I must have been reading the sage book and reading confused, why didn't I think of this layer? The Wu family and the Republic Bank support one side respectively, and the battle between Goryeo and Nüzhi can last! If it lasts for a long time, everyone can make money, and maybe they can pull Nuzhi and Goryeo over to be allies or allies of the Great Song Dynasty......

"If that's the case, you can do it."

"I think it's okay."

Ji Yi and Su Dalang both nodded. Both of them were major shareholders of Christie's, the future head office of Republic House. They nodded, and the Republic could enter the field of maritime trade and shipbuilding.

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "However, the three things of winemaking, sea trade and shipbuilding cannot be done in Kaifeng Mansion, but must be done in Jiehe Commercial Market."

Among them, the liquor making business has to cooperate with the Pan family, the Pan family is the owner of Pan Lou, and Pan Lou is the main store that can make wine and sell wine in Kaifeng Mansion, and there are also branches in Daimyo's Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Luoyang Mansion, and Jingzhao Mansion, which can also make wine and sell wine. So the Pan family wants to take half of the shares! ”

The wine of the Song Dynasty was not sold casually, but exclusively. In Kaifeng Prefecture, there are 72 stores that can make wine and sell wine. Of course, Jiehe Commercial Market will not engage in monopoly, but without the channel of Pan Lou, it is impossible for "Erguotou" to be open and sell in Kaifeng Mansion, Daming Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Luoyang Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion.

Wu Haogu paused, and then said: "If you have no objections, the three things of winemaking, sea trade and shipbuilding in the Jiehe Commercial Market will be decided first, and the specific will be discussed after the opening of the Jiehe Commercial Market." ”

"Okay!"

"So be it!"

"Yes!"

Naturally, there was no objection, after all, compared to the current scale of Christie's, the initial capital required for the development of the three ventures of winemaking, maritime trade and shipbuilding was only a small amount.

"Okay," Wu Haogu nodded with a smile, "Then let's talk about personnel arrangements now." He pointed to Su Dalang who was present, "Dalang, you will be the chief shopkeeper of the Republic Head Office, and you will also have to be the shopkeeper of Christie's, can you be busy?" ”

"Get busy!" Su Dalang laughed, "In this way, I have less to do than before." ”

"The head office of the Republic also has a general ledger office," Wu Haogu continued, "not only to examine the accounts of the subordinate firms, but also to manage money and finance, and the position of general ledger office will be assumed by Pan Wulang, the manager of the Pan family's gold and silver silk shop." ”

Su Dalang nodded and said, "Iron abacus Pan Wulang, he is a suitable candidate." ”

What kind of iron abacus Pan Wulang is naturally Pan Qiaolian's person, his ancestor was a slave of the Pan family's generals to do business, and he was very confidant, so he got the surname "Pan". Before being sent to the Republic by Pan Qiaolian, he was the second manager of the Pan family's gold and silver silk shop, and he was the bookkeeper of the Jieshen Lane, who not only knew how to settle accounts but also managed money, and was also very reliable, much stronger than Zhang Xizai.

"The Oiran is handed over to Wei Sihai, Xie Shangbin and Zhang Zeduan," Wu Haogu said, "Wei Sihai is the shopkeeper, Xie Shangbin is in charge of the engraving workshop, and Zhang Zeduan is in charge of the editing of the album...... As for the paintings, I'll get them done before I leave Kaifeng Mansion. ”

The monopoly threshold of the Oiran line is much higher than that of Christie's, and it must first have a "human flesh camera". In addition to Wu Haogu, the ones who can barely paint now are Mi Youren and Zhao Ji. Although Zhang Zeduan and Du Wenyu are both very talented, their skills are still very insufficient after all. Therefore, Wu Haogu planned to draw hundreds of sketches before leaving Kaifeng Mansion to prepare enough "ammunition" for Oiran Xing.

"Zhang Xizai and Huang Shilang are in charge of real estate, one is the shopkeeper, and the other is the general manager." Wu Haogu paused, "By the way, how about our real estate company is called Wanhexing?" ”

"Okay."

"So be it."

Wanhe Real Estate ...... The meaning of harmony in Wanjia (obviously the "Wan" of Vanke and Wanda plus the "and" of Hutchison) is naturally a good name.

"Hua Manshan, Zhou Gao, Lin Wancheng, and Qu Huajie followed me to Jiehe Commercial Market," Wu Haogu continued, "and in the future, shipping, shipbuilding, and winemaking will be in charge of them, and you have no objections, right?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay."

Wu Haogu said again: "There is another thing that is to have a republican school of tricks, such as painting, printing, architecture, accounting, and brewing, all of which must be passed on, and there is no school." ”

The so-called "Trick School" is actually the university in Wu Haogu's mind! In the future, it will be renamed "Lighthouse University Hall", but now it can only be called "Republic Trick School".

"I plan to open the school in Jiehe Commercial Market, and run the school on the basis of the trick room." Wu Haogu pondered and said, "The cost of this trick academy ...... Is it appropriate for the Republic to take it out? ”

"It's suitable," Su Dalang smiled, "The Trick School is for the Republic Bank to cultivate talents, who will pay if we don't pay for the Republic?" Besides, it won't cost a few, right? ”

Wu Haogu glanced at Ji Yi again, Ji Yi nodded, and also approved that the Republic Bank should bear the expenses of the trick school.

"Let's talk about the matter of the Republic Bank first, and now let's talk about the matter of Jiehe Commercial City."

Jiehe Commercial Market is actually a special trading house, and it is said to be a commercial bank because Jiehe Commercial Market is funded by the Chamber of Commerce and operated by the Chamber of Commerce. It is said to be special because this river merchant market is a trading house that practices a "republican system".

Wu Haogu knew very well what Jiehe Shang Market (Lighthouse Shang Market) was.

If the shame of Jingkang or something like that still appears, it is very likely that the lighthouse market will transform into a bourgeois free state like a flood beast!

And this free state, in Wu Haogu's view, can only be a republic, and cannot evolve into an empire. Because Wu Haogu took many extreme arrangements in order to give Lighthouse City enough strength.

For example, he plans to start a university in Beacon City! Moreover, the university will also take "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" as its motto, and follow the philosophy of freedom and positivism. Such a university is simply a cradle of revolutionary ideas!

At the same time as the opening of the university, the Six Arts Academy and the Ship Master School will also appear in Lighthouse City. The so-called Six Arts Academy is actually a junior military academy! Ten-year-olds enter it, receive a military elite education, and after six to eight years are admitted to a university or a shipmaster's school. The so-called Ship Master School is actually an officer academy, which not only has courses for naval officers, but also conducts training for army officers in accordance with the "Murong Art of War".

In other words, the Wuhao Ancient Society adopted the most radical and ferocious young officer cultivation method in Beacon City to cultivate military backbone talents!

In later generations, the junior military academy was almost the cradle of militarism!

Just think about it, a group of teenagers who have been trained as elite officers since the age of ten cannot develop a correct feudal outlook on life and values after more than ten years of strict, mechanical, and even inhumane officer education. They are militarists, and they are not at all controlled by feudal bureaucrats and feudal dynasties.

It must be a tragic thing for them (cadets and college students) to be emperors, and the whole family will have to be guillotined, so it is better to have a republic.

In fact, the Song Dynasty began to implement the national policy of using literature to protect military force and emphasizing literature over military force when it established itself, and to a large extent, it was also a helpless choice.

Because there have been too many dynastic changes in Chinese history, too many "the Son of Heaven would rather have a kind, and the strong soldiers and horses will do it", giving the kings of the Song Dynasty too many negative teaching materials - a strong army is a real threat to the feudal dynasty!

Therefore, as long as we continue to follow the path of the world, no matter who becomes the emperor, they will take the line of suppressing and weakening the force. Even if the founding king had enough heart, the successor would not follow the line of strengthening the army and the people.

The only way out is to take the republican route of the world for the public.
