Chapter 150: Hua Heng, the Smart and Sharp One
As they were well prepared, Hua Heng set out with his guards that afternoon and went to Qingcheng Temple to discuss the opening of the temple. The temple was indeed clean and tidy, with yellow walls, red pillars, gray tiles, and well-arranged buildings. From the newly planted saplings around and the traces of newly laid stone slabs on the ground, it was clear that the temple was newly completed not long ago.
The vegetarian restaurant is a separate courtyard. The front yard is the restaurant, the back yard is the kitchen on both sides, and there is a whole row of houses behind. Hua Heng thought of the ten new monks who had arrived earlier. After a brief discussion, he got the smoked bamboo sticks specially made by the vegetarian restaurant. There was no regulation on what dish it was. On one side, there were only five words "Qingcheng Vegetarian Restaurant" and on the other side, there were serial numbers. It was limited to one thousand copies. It was equivalent to bringing this bamboo stick to the vegetarian restaurant within one month to enjoy a vegetarian meal. It would be invalid after the expiration date!
When Hua Heng was about to go down the mountain with his guards, he met the manager of Dada Industrial Park who was escorting a carriage team to deliver goods. It turned out that all the customized sheets, blankets, and futons were delivered. Hua Heng exclaimed, "The efficiency of the rush work is really fast!"
"Hey! This amount of orders is nothing. It's not enough for each person to make one!" The manager felt that just a few hundred orders were not enough.
"..." Hua Heng choked up. He couldn't help but feel curious. What was the real reason why the fourth and sixth brothers were willing to hang out in Dada Industrial Park? Without further ado, they drove past. He had more important things to do, so he rode his horse straight to the clinic.
"Young Master is back!" As soon as he entered the clinic, the servant at the door came up to greet him.
"Well! Xiao Ding, help me go to other clinics to notify the principals to come to the meeting! I'll go in and rest first!" Hua Heng went straight to the backyard. Since old man Hua moved in with him, many rooms here were empty, and this time they could be used. After letting the guards go down to rest, Hua Heng also sat down and made himself a pot of tea. He took out the plan from his bag and planned to go through it again carefully to see if there were any loopholes to fill in.
"Young Master, you're back! How is Master Hua?" It was Hua Jingmo, who was busy treating the patient in front just now. He was one of Master Hua's disciples.
"Senior Brother, you don't have to call me Young Master in private!" Hua Heng corrected him as he looked at his face which was almost under his eyelids.
"I'm used to it. I'm afraid if I change it again, I'll forget the occasion and shout the wrong name!" Hua Jingmo laughed.
"You won't make any mistakes if you call out his name! Your master is doing fine. He has been staying in the house these past two days studying his secret recipe and rarely goes out!" Hua Heng glanced at his silly senior brother, who had no other hobbies except his obsession with medicine.
"Junior brother, is there something important? Every time you come back, it's because something has happened." He is a bit naive, but not stupid. The junior brother is someone who can not appear in front of them for a year or two, but he appears so frequently recently.
"Of course! If I show up often, will I have your status as Mr. Jing Mo?" Hua Heng was merciless when he insulted others.
"Hey! Give me some face, I'll go see if they are approaching." Hua Jingmo couldn't argue and wanted to slip away.
"Why are you running? Sit down and have some tea. We'll be here soon! I'm staying here tonight. You can use this time to think about what to eat." Hua Heng kept his eyes on the manuscript, but told him casually that he was staying overnight.
"Ah?... I know! Xiao Ding, oh no, Yunhua, hurry, go buy some vegetables..." Hua Jingmo exclaimed and ran out. Even after he disappeared, he heard someone's voice coming, ordering people to add more vegetables and cook!
"..." A smile spread out from Hua Heng's lips. He continued to check with his head down, thinking about each link. He decided to make a form first for everyone to learn from.
"Sir, everyone has been notified." Xiao Ding came in breathlessly and delivered the message.
"Well, let them come over to this room. You take a rest, and ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks. Go!" Hua Heng stopped writing and gave instructions.
"Okay!" Xiao Ding rushed out again and ran away like a gust of wind. This kid is really...
A moment later, Hua Jingmo led a group of people in. "Young Master!"
"Please sit down, have a cup of tea and take a break! I have two important things to do when I come back today! We'll talk about these later. It's almost the end of the year, and each clinic should take inventory of its inventory to see what medicinal materials are still available and how much is in stock, with a focus on which year's medicinal materials. You can take a look at these forms first and learn how to use them in the management of the medicinal materials warehouse." Hua Heng handed out the new forms he had just developed and asked everyone to learn them.
"Inventory count sheet? Item name, storage container, item specifications, unit price, beginning inventory, incoming inventory, outgoing inventory, book inventory, inventory count, surplus or shortage, profit or loss quantity, reason, balance amount, remarks." Senior Brother Jing Mo was the first to look at it and read it out to everyone. He was full of surprise. He didn't expect that the master of the house would come up with such a sheet.
"Incoming order?"
"Outbound delivery order?"
"The inventory records? Everyone who handles it knows it clearly."
All the leaders were surprised. After passing all the documents around, they all looked at their master, hoping that he would tell them their doubts.
"Yes, this is a new method of managing warehouses that my prince has come up with, and our clinic is the first to use it. Doesn't it feel clear at a glance? Jing Mo, Su Mu, Su Ye, Shi Zhu, and Shi Wei, you are the heads of the five clinics in the city, and you are also in charge of the clinics in other towns. Learning these methods can make your work much more convenient, and you can find the problem at a glance, so everyone should use it." Hua Heng explained.
"Okay! Let's learn it!" The five of them straightened up immediately.
"Next, I will talk about the main point. The first thing is that the prince has given our family clinic an important task, which is to reserve medicinal materials. The order is about three thousand taels of silver, and the list of medicinal materials is here. I want to use my uncle's medicinal material warehouse here to store these medicinal materials. Every year when the medicinal materials on the list are harvested, new ones need to be purchased to replace the medicinal materials collected last year and sold. This will ensure that the reserve of medicinal materials is effective in the long term! This work will be managed separately, with a separate account book. The source of goods needs to be purchased or planted through everyone's channels, and the quality of the medicinal materials needs to be guaranteed. This work needs to be kept confidential, and no one else needs to know about it except the five people present. The person in charge of custody will be Jing Mo, and the inspection of medicinal materials in and out will also be the responsibility of Jing Mo. Everyone's accounts should be settled with him, and then the silver will be withdrawn from me." Hua Heng spoke in a calm tone, striving to be accurate.
"..." Jing Mo opened his mouth in shock. Such a large business was entrusted to him, and it was for the prince. He, he was really shocked!
The other heads of the families were also in shock. It was indeed no small matter for the young master to return home. "We...we will do our best to complete it."
"Well, you can open your minds a little. If you think about the problem from the perspective of people's livelihood needs, you will understand the significance of stockpiling medicinal materials. The prince has spent thousands of taels of silver for nothing to reserve medicinal materials for irrelevant and unknown people. This is to ensure that the people's medicinal material needs can be guaranteed when a crisis comes." Hua Heng explained the significance of this task from a new perspective. Seeing their awe, he felt relieved. Only when people's thoughts and insights reach a certain level and their vision is opened can they be more reliable in doing things!
"The second thing is an activity that we will do with Qingnang Clinic and Qingcheng Temple. This activity is simple. We can start it tomorrow once we are ready! The theme of the activity is 'Do One Good Deed a Day', a quiz with prizes! There are 1,000 prizes, divided among five clinics, with 200 prizes in each clinic. These are the questions and answers that you will need to copy out later. Also write down the slogans so that we can work easier tomorrow! We will hire some old men to do the street propaganda." Hua Heng took out a cloth bag of bamboo sticks and asked them to divide them among themselves later.
"In addition, during the Qingcheng Temple's charity event between the tenth and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, our clinic will donate mugwort foot bath bags. We will start preparing the foot bath bags tomorrow, five small bags in a bag, with the name of our clinic written on the packaging. At the same time, we will pile them up in a conspicuous place in the clinic and clearly mark the price. The selling price is fifty coins. What do you think?"
"..." When did the young master become so shrewd? The leaders looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Will it be too shabby?" Silly Jing Mo was the first to express a weak opinion.
"First of all, medicines cannot be taken randomly, so medicines cannot be given randomly, otherwise who will be responsible if something goes wrong? Foot bath bags are the safest option. Free clinics are too troublesome. Have you forgotten how you felt during the three-day free clinic last time? If you want to experience it for another five days, I have no objection. Secondly, if you think it's shabby? You can copy these questions and answers first, and understand the meaning of giving first!" Hua Heng's well-reasoned and logical explanation once again fooled everyone. Everyone was wondering when the head of the family became so sharp? !
"Master! The tea and snacks are here!" Xiao Ding was standing outside the door holding tea and snacks.
"Come in, Xiao Ding! Let's eat something and start working! If you have any questions, ask them right away!" After Hua Heng finished his business, he put on the face of a gentle young man again, but his words did not mean to let anyone go at all, as if to say that you can't leave until you finish your business.
"Yes, yes, get to work, we'll have dinner in this courtyard, the kitchen is already preparing it!" Jing Mo quickly took over the conversation. He also had many questions that he needed to ask the young master.
