Lord Cao Duo smiled, looked at Cao Yun and said: "Then how can our two families divide this fifty percent share, but there are 500,000 taels of silver, which is not a small amount." In this way, I am afraid that the funds on my boat gang will not be used much, and I still have to maintain the operation of the entire boat gang, and after this investment, I am afraid that I will not be able to get it back all at once in a short period of time, so I can only account for 20%, and you will account for 30%, what do you think?"

Of course, Cao Yunju knew that Master Cao Helm just wanted to find an excuse to take advantage of himself, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll thank you in advance, your boat gang has a big business and a lot of money, and you don't care about this little money, but for us, it's a big piece of fat." ”

After Cao Yunju said this, several people laughed.

After agreeing on this matter, several people were suddenly a lot happier when they ate, and they were all drunk this night, even Hua Wuxiang was drunk, Hua Wuxiang repeatedly thanked Yang Xianmao, until Yang Xianmao stared at her eyes and pretended to be angry, saying that if she wanted to say thank you, she would not sell it, she smiled and pursed her lips and said no more.

Immediately afterwards, there was the issue of selling the property to raise money, although Cao Yunju had a strong family property, it was still a little tricky to let him take out 300,000 taels of silver at once.

In the following month, he sold a lot of shops, and even some of his land, including Hua Youying's jewelry store, which was enough for 300,000 taels of silver.

When he learned that Hua Wuxiang had finally sold the jewelry store, Yang Xianmao breathed a sigh of relief, at least one of the goals had been achieved.

In this month, the money of the two families was successively sent to Yang Xianmao's house, and Yang Xianmao was not idle in this month, he was starting to implement his second step of wealth planning, that is, selling horses.

Among all the money-making businesses in the Great Song Dynasty, the most profitable is of course smuggling. Because the imperial court attached great importance to business, almost all the businesses that could make a lot of money were monopolized by the state, including salt, wine, and tea, all of which were monopolized by the state, and private individuals were forbidden to engage in these trades, otherwise they would be punished as crimes.

And in these long-distance trafficking of important materials, the most profitable is from the Xia Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, the two sides lack the main thing that is monopolized by the imperial court, although these things make money, but because of the illegality, so Yang Xianmao will not touch, but there is one thing that is different from these, that is, selling horses.

The territory of the Song Dynasty was not suitable for large-scale horse breeding, so the horses of the Song Dynasty were very precious, and it was difficult for ordinary people to buy horses even if you had money.

Because horses were mainly monopolized by the imperial court, on the one hand, they were used for military operations and official public use, and on the other hand, only people with a background in the imperial court could own horses privately.

But it was precisely because of the gold of horses that the imperial court encouraged the people to trade horses from the Liao Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty.

However, both the Liao Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty were well aware of the importance of horses to the Song Dynasty, so it was strictly forbidden to transport horses to the Song Dynasty on a large scale, and the border was very strict about this.

Therefore, it was not easy to traffic in large quantities of horses from the Western Xia and Liao dynasties.

Of course, this kind of difficulty is for other people, but for Yang Xianmao, there is a channel to make money, and this channel comes from the memory of Venerable Ling Xiao.

Since both the Liao and Western Xia dynasties strictly forbade the sale of horses to the Song dynasty, it was almost impossible to import horses from the Liao dynasty, so many people turned their attention to Tibet in the west.

But there were also obstacles to importing large quantities of horses from Tibet, and most of these obstacles came from the ban on Tibet, which did not prohibit the delivery of horses to the Great Song Dynasty, but did not encourage it.

Because they also didn't want the Song Dynasty to become powerful and thus threaten their security. At this time, Tibet had been divided into many tribes, and it was no longer the dominant world during the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, they still have a symbolic royal power in charge, but this royal power is actually no longer able to control the existence of the various tribes. So horses could be imported from some Tibetan tribes who didn't care, or who didn't have a direct border with the Song Dynasty.

And this requires a strong relationship, this relationship has been built by Venerable Ling Xiao, he has such a channel, to be precise, he knows that there is such a channel, and this channel has a great relationship with him.

Because for a person like him who has already stepped into the immortal realm with half a foot, money is no longer a problem, and this should be a channel that he has participated in creating many years before.

The money earned by importing horses from this passage would be several times that of the mine, which was clearly shown in Venerable Ling Xiao's memory, so Yang Xianmao was ready to invest all the money he raised into this golden road.

On the one hand, the wealth he earned for himself was rolling, and at the same time, he also accumulated the military strength of the cavalry for the Great Song Dynasty. However, it is a long way to go to Tibet, and this matter cannot be handled by others.

Since Yang Xianmao decided to open up this transportation line himself, it must be after he has passed the entrance examination of the Taiyi Academy, but fortunately, the entrance examination of the Taiyi Academy will be held soon.

Just when Hua Jia and Cao Duo raised money to buy fifty percent of the shares of Yangxianmao Mine, the second entrance examination of Tai Hospital was held.

In this entrance exam, five hundred and thirty people were selected from a thousand people, and Yang Xianmao was easily promoted again, but this time he was still ranked second, and the first place was still Zuo Jinsheng.

This made Yang Xianmao frown, but the two county lords comforted Yang Xianmao and said that he was his father who was behind him, otherwise there would be no way to compare with Yang Xianmao, so don't pay attention to him with such a straw bale.

Yang Xianmao smiled, and he didn't think about it, because as long as he could pass the test.

And that Zuo Jinsheng was very excited after the second successful promotion, and actually rode a white-headed horse, dressed in red ribbons, as if he had won the champion, wandering around the capital.

followed by a large group of domestic slaves showing off their might, walking through the streets and alleys, attracting countless people to point fingers and discuss.

Yang Xianmao happened to be running errands on the street, and when he saw this scene, when Fei Shuyun, Hua Wuxiang and others beside him told him that the arrogant gentleman was Zuo Jinsheng, Yang Xianmao even felt that it was really a shame to put his name side by side with himself, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Because his thinking is mainly used in preparing to open the horse trafficking channel and operating a medical hall and mines, now making money is the most important thing, only by accumulating strong financial resources, can he make his waist hard enough.

Time flies, another month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the entrance examination of Taiyi Academy, the last entrance examination has finally come, this time from the five hundred selected candidates, two hundred more people are selected to enter the outer house of Taiyi Academy to study.

This time the exam went very smoothly, of course, this is mainly for Yang Xianmao. The exam has a large amount of questions, not only a few questions like the re-examination, but several large questions, and it is obvious that this time it is to deliberately test most people, and then select the really good ones from them.

At least from the perspective of the questions, Yang Xianmao believes that the person who organized the final entrance examination of the Tai Hospital Academy should be an official who really wants to select talents, because the questions are both comprehensive and profound, and these questions can indeed distance these five hundred people and select the outstanding ones.

This is the last exam, after Yang Xianmao's guidance, Hua Youying has passed two levels in a row and reached the third level, as long as this level is passed again, he will be able to enter the Taiyi Academy smoothly.

Although he may not be able to advance in the next 600 out of 200, this is enough to be proud and enough to make his father and mother shine.

For this reason, Cao Yunju is grateful to Yang Xianmao, and when the last test is about to come, Cao Yunju set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain Yang Xianmao, hoping that Yang Xianmao can give his son another guide at the last moment.

The seat for this dinner was still according to the custom, and his baby daughter Hua Wuxiang sat next to Yang Xianmao. And before that, their money had already been scraped together and sent to Yang Xianmao.

Of course, they didn't know that Yang Xianmao had to raise a huge amount of money to open up a golden route to traffic horses from Tibet. All they knew was that Yang Xianmao had taken out half of the huge profits from the mine and gave them them.

Therefore, Cao Yun judged that they were full of infinite gratitude to Yang Xianmao, and they didn't know how many good things they said.

After sitting down, of course, there was another thanksgiving. Then I still need to thank that, of course, with the help of Yang Xianmao, my son was able to successfully pass the two levels and enter the third level.

In the past two months, Hua Youying, under the careful guidance of Yang Xianmao, his medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Especially for some medical theories that he had not been exposed to before, he had mastered them all under Yang Xianmao's careful selection and teaching.

As long as he understands these truths and learns to draw inferences from one another, Yang Xianmao believes that in the final exam, he should also be able to stand out, successfully advance, and be admitted to the Taiyi Academy.

Sure enough, as Yang Xianmao expected, in the last exam, because the amount of questions involved was relatively large and comprehensive, Yang Xianmao had already given targeted guidance to Hua Youying.

Especially from the perspective of medical theory, he memorized a large number of incisive expositions, so that Hua Youying finally squeezed into the ranks of 200 and entered the Taiyi Academy.

Of course, Yang Xianmao also successfully advanced, but this time, he was still ranked second, and the first was still Zuo Jinsheng, the son of the deputy envoy of the third division.

Zuo Jinsheng won the first place in three consecutive exams, a little fluttering, just like the three yuan of the imperial examination, he was excited, he beat gongs and drums again, wore red and wore colors, rode a high-headed horse, and took hundreds of domestic slaves, wandering in the streets and alleys, just like the champion parade in the streets.

After all, his father is in a high position, so how can he dare to do this on other people?
