Dongsheng watched her drawing seriously and sat beside her, "Chunxiao, is this the new house you want to build?" The drawing was quite large and covered the entire table.
"Yes, I want to build a big house. Do you think I can draw it?"
Dongsheng got closer and took a closer look. "The houses of soldiers before looked like this, but they didn't look as good as yours."
Chunxiao looked up at him and asked, "Sir, is he from Fengyue County?"
"No, he is from the capital. I once accompanied him on an important mission and stayed at his house for a few days."
"It seems that you have a very good relationship with the military officer." It is said that the friendship between comrades-in-arms is extraordinary, but in ancient times, family background seemed to be more important.
"Everyone has been through life and death together, so naturally their relationship will be better than others."
Chunxiao suddenly thought of something, put down his pen, and moved his stool to the side. "Come closer and take a look. You've seen the world and seen truly good houses. Can you help me take a look at my house and tell me what needs to be changed? This is all my own idea, and I'm afraid it's a bit unrealistic."
Dongsheng rubbed his head again in embarrassment. "How can I offer any opinions? I've only seen you a few times. I think you draw very well, Chunxiao. Your drawings are really lifelike and beautiful."
Chun Xiao smiled and put away the blueprint. "I asked you to give me some advice, but you flattered me. Forget it, I'll figure it out myself when the time comes."
"When you need to find craftsmen to build the house, I can go to the city to run errands for you."
"Okay, let's talk about building a horse farm. First, tell me your plan. Otherwise, I can't plan it for you. How many people do you have in total, how many horses do you have, and how big do you plan to build?"
"We're planning to cover the route from Qingzhou to the north. The five people you met earlier, including me, will be in charge. We also have acquaintances in various county offices in the north. Most of them are disabled, but they won't affect their ability to drive and deliver goods. We have 30 horses, and we're planning to buy ox carts for the rest."
"Qingzhou only goes as far as Fengyue in the north? That would require quite a few points." The counties she passed through were just a few of them. You have to know that Dongjiang, Hejian and Fangzhou are all big prefectures.
Dongsheng looked at her, looking a little embarrassed. "It's indeed a lot. I definitely can't afford it with my current financial ability, so I want to ask for your help."
"Ask me for help?" Chun Xiao was a little surprised. "How do you want me to help you?"
"Chunxiao," Dongsheng said hesitantly, "I'd like to ask you to join me in running this horse business."
"You want to invite me to invest?"
"What is investment?" Dongsheng was a little confused.
"Just let me put in the money, and when we make money we'll split it according to our investment ratio."
Dongsheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean."
This guy is quite smart. In fact, with what he has now, there is no problem in running a fixed route. But he wants to expand. I guess he wants to help his friends.
Chun Xiao smiled. "It's not impossible, but it's more prudent to let an acquaintance participate in the investment, just like settling accounts with a close brother. Since it's a shareholding, the horses must be counted as property, and the employee salaries must be arranged in advance. Also, since I'm a shareholder, if you want to run this business for a long time, it's not worth letting others make the rent. I'll buy a shop where you want to set up shop, and the rent will be paid to me later."
Dongsheng naturally wanted it very much. "Okay, if you participate, you have the final say. We will calculate the payment according to the proportion."
If that's the case, she still has to make a detailed plan. If she lets Dongsheng do it, it will definitely not be as detailed as she thought.
"Since it starts from Qingzhou, Zuoyuan is the first point. Who do you want to find responsible?"
"Then I'll take charge." To be honest, they have limited manpower and it's really hard to find someone in charge.
"That won't do. Once this horse business opens, you'll be in charge of the overall planning. You'll definitely have to travel around for the first two years and can't stay in one place. You can't just manage the county business. Also, I'm only responsible for the funding and won't be involved in management. These are things you have to think about."
Seeing him frowning in confusion, she said, "This is only the first step and you're already having trouble. You have to take everything into consideration. So, let me recommend someone to you. You can find Brother Wangfu. He used to work in the county town and is more familiar with it than us. He can't use one hand now, but that doesn't affect his job of soliciting customers and driving horses. Think about it."
Dongsheng nodded directly, "Okay, then I'll go find Brother Wangfu and ask about this matter later. What you said is definitely correct."
"Since you've come to me, I'll have to come up with a detailed plan. So, come back in a few days, and I'll write out the specific plan and discuss it with you. I'm afraid I'll need your help with the matter of buying a shop."
"Okay, how about I come with you? I feel embarrassed for you to be alone with so many things to do."
He was indeed a conscientious young man. Chun Xiao nodded and said, "That's fine. You've been in the military camp, so you must know the maps of each prefecture. Why don't you draw up a rough map of the prefectures and counties first, and we can see how many points and shops we need to set up, and how much each shop will cost. That way we can calculate an initial budget, and then we can see how much money each person will contribute."
"I have a map of the prefecture and county. Wait for me, I'll go back and get it."
Xiaohua watched Dongsheng walk out of the yard, walked up to Chunxiao and smiled, "Miss, I think Brother Dongsheng is a good person. If he hadn't saved me last time, I wouldn't have been able to see you. Do you want to do business with him?"
"Did you hear that?"
"It would be a good idea for you to do business with him, but if you do that, you'll probably be even busier in the future."
