Chapter 92 The toilet will be delivered within seven days!
"That's great! As long as they don't let me close this shop, I'll sell toilets! What's wrong with making money selling toilets?"
Su Jingge smiled and said, "Manager Sun is truly enlightened and righteous. I will support him. I'm sure the shop will be revived soon."
"But I will take a cut. Don't worry, Manager Sun, the money I take will not go into my pocket, but will be used for the construction of the city."
Shopkeeper Sun nodded: "I know Magistrate Su's character. You are a hundred or a thousand times better than Zhao Zhou as magistrate. Even in the past, Zhao Zhou would take 50% of my profits."
"Now, I'm willing to pay this commission!"
Su Jingge shook her head: "Manager Sun, are you talking about 50%?"
The man's expression changed slightly: "Sir, I can only contribute 50%. If I contribute more, I won't be able to make a living in the future!"
"I use the best raw materials, as you all know. I don't make any money from selling half of what I sell to the government, and I still have a family to support."
"I can only offer 60% at most, please, sir, grant me a way out!"
Su Jingge laughed again: "Manager Sun, you're overthinking it, aren't you?"
When did someone say they would take 50% of your profits?
Manager Sun looked at her in astonishment: "Isn't it 50%? It's 60%?"
"I won't take 50% or 60% of your profits!"
"I'll only take 20% from you, but once the city is completed, I won't take a single cent!"
Manager Sun tilted his head. This must be a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!
He must be dreaming!
He pinched himself, and ouch, it hurt!
"Your Excellency, is what you say true? You really only take 20%, not 50%???" He was utterly incredulous.
This 20% commission is a benefit he's never received in his business career.
The first good deed Su Jingge did for the people since taking office actually fell to him.
That means the commission rate has been reduced from 50% to 20%.
That way he's guaranteed to make a profit!
Su Jingge nodded: "You heard me right, it's 20%, from now until the city is repaired, it will be 20%. Not only that, for every hundred toilets you sell, I will give you a food voucher. You can use this food voucher to collect food at my restaurant. The more you sell, the more food you will receive."
"In this way, Manager Sun may not have to spend any money on meals or groceries in the end."
"Hahaha, Your Honor, Your Honor!"
"You are simply a living Buddha descended to earth!"
Manager Sun knelt on the ground, stammering with emotion, "I thank the magistrate for saving my life!"
Su Jingge smiled and said, "Manager Sun, there's no need for that. You've helped me out, haven't you?"
"I just wonder, how much does this toilet cost, sir?"
Su Jingge pondered that in their time, an ordinary toilet would cost seven or eight hundred, while a slightly better one would cost thousands or even tens of thousands.
Considering this is from ancient times, each piece would cost between 600 and 1000 RMB.
After deducting the commission, and since the system doesn't require any costs, it provides an unlimited supply.
Therefore, I can only profit, not lose.
"In consideration of giving preferential treatment to the people, the government will provide subsidies. If you buy a toilet yourself, it will cost around 1,000 to 1,500 copper coins. I do not recommend that Manager Sun sell it for more than 1,500 copper coins."
Shopkeeper Sun nodded: "The price is acceptable. Such a convenient product, coupled with government promotion and subsidies, will definitely sell well, haha!"
After reaching an agreement, the two signed a contract.
Su Jingge relayed a message to the restaurant, instructing them to send a sample of the toilet to Manager Sun's workshop first.
Once he saw the appearance and had Lu Er's teaching techniques, he would naturally continue production.
Just after she finished explaining to Lu Er, she saw Zhao Liu.
Zhao Liu smiled and walked up to greet him.
Su Jingge was accompanied by two government officials, who held their weapons horizontally in front of the man's chest.
Zhao Liu stopped in his tracks.
"Lord Su, what do you mean by this? I have absolutely no intention of overstepping my bounds. I really have something to say to you."
Su Jingge walked forward: "Speak your mind."
Zhao Liu looked at the two men and said, "Did you hear me? The magistrate has spoken! How dare you two stop me?"
The two remained expressionless. Alright!
Zhao Liu could only run between the two men, saying, "Magistrate Su, you've really done a great job governing this county!"
If you have nothing to say, I'll leave.
"Hey, no, no, no!" Zhao Liu wanted to flatter him, but now he couldn't. "I do have something to say. The new batch of goods is about to leave the country, but wasn't the former magistrate exiled?"
"Now that you are the newly appointed magistrate, it's just that... the official documents haven't been stamped for me yet..."
Su Jingge's lips twitched: "I knew you wouldn't come to my door without a reason. So you just wanted some documents from me?"
Looking at the woman's smug expression, Zhao Liu knew he was doomed. Given how much he had previously antagonized her, there was no way she would approve the document.
So he started shouting: "Your Excellency, you can't use your position for personal revenge! There was something unpleasant between us before, but you can't refuse to stamp this official document. How can my merchant guild ship its goods if you don't stamp it?"
"Help! Everyone, please be the judges!"
Let him keep yelling; the people around him see it's him yelling but don't pay any attention.
Who doesn't know what kind of person he is?
Su Jingge turned her head: "When did I say I wouldn't cover you with it?"
Just as the man was bewildered, he heard these words.
"Huh? You mean you won't block me? You're going to cover me up?"
Su Jingge mounted her horse and looked down at him from above: "Zhao Jia Liu Lang's goods are fine, Shang Gu Zhai's goods are fine, and if there's nothing wrong with these goods, why won't I cover them?"
Zhao Liu blinked, a hint of embarrassment on his face: "This...this...So you weren't holding me back. I was just thinking we had a little spat before, weren't we? You were holding me back..."
Su Jingge smiled slightly: "I don't care to hold you back. Enough with the nonsense! Send the documents to my office immediately."
The woman then spurred her horse and rode away.
Zhao Liu was left standing there, bewildered.
That's it?
No, how did this pass?
Shouldn't she do this first, then that, then that, and then not cover herself up?
How did you cover yourself up so quickly?
-
Su Jingge originally wanted to go to the rouge shop of the singing and dancing girls, but she heard that the girls had gone out of town to check on the goods and were not at home.
So she had to come another day.
She then rushed off to the west of the city.
Seeing everyone making waterwheels, not bad.
After giving his instructions, he rushed to Xie Mo's place.
"Thank you, sir. You have prepared all the seeds. Once the waterwheel is built, we can clear the land and plant the seeds in the soil."
Xie Mo cupped his hands in greeting: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will definitely select the best seeds."
Su Jingge nodded: "Then I'll leave the land reclamation and construction to you."
On the other side, Xiao Yinhe was busy cutting down trees on various hilltops and marking them off to prevent flooding from affecting the area due to lack of trees.
In addition to dams storing water, sluice gates releasing water, diverting water through ditches, and carrying out repairs.
Ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Everyone has their own things to do.
The city is getting better and better.
-
Manager Sun received the toilet.
He is currently processing the raw materials, and with Lu Er around, he is learning very quickly.
He told the others that from now on, they would not only be making ceramics, and instructed the craftsmen to prioritize the production of toilets according to the blueprints.
Shipped within seven days.
Su Jingge was at the restaurant, checking the water tanks.
The staff at the restaurant started moving out.
