Wen was already thinking about it in his heart. Yan Shupeng on the side reacted faster, and he said to the Wen family: "We don't need to find another family, just your Wen family's in-laws, there are many Jiangnan merchants, such as the Zeng family of the Jiangnan tea merchant that your sister married." Didn't their family want to deal in tea from Yizhou Island? If the county lord can give their family the general distribution right of Yizhou Island Jiangnan, their family will not only spend money to buy property here, but they will be willing to give hundreds of thousands of taels to the county lord for nothing. ”

Saying this, Chen Wenhui became interested. Asked: "Such a person is good, it has nothing to do with us at all, let alone makes people suspicious." I don't want their money, so let them buy the property. After buying it, it is okay to be willing to run it yourself, but if you don't want to run it yourself, you can sell it, of course, you can't sell it to those powerful people, and the selling price must be lower than the buying price. I will make up for the difference in the price of the loss in the middle, and I will use the tea distribution rights of Yizhou Island to make up for it. I'll just write a letter to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. ”

"In order to support the construction of my northwest, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely agree."

Who in the world doesn't know that the Xiao Chen family loves Chen Wenhui the most. Chen Wenhui's two eldest brothers both love their younger sisters.

Wen also reacted and said, "That's the best." If this can be done, my sister's status in the Zeng family will also be improved. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but think of Wan Qiaozhen. She said: "In this way, we have the porcelain Cao family, your Wen family, and the Zeng family you said." Do the math, is it enough? ”

Wen smiled and said, "Our husband and wife also plan to buy some of it, although the price is higher." However, compared to the shops in Jiangnan, the floor area is much lower. I'm going to run some businesses here. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Naturally, there is no problem with this. ”

Wen said, "In addition to this, I can also recommend my brother and daughter-in-law's maiden family, the Xi family. Her family is in the glass business. In Jiangnan, he can be regarded as a wealthy businessman. ”

Chen Wenhui was very interested and said: "This is better. I don't have to give them the right to distribute this one, you let them buy the place, and run it themselves, preferably to build a glass processing workshop. Because aren't we going to build a canning workshop? In order to handle a large amount of meat, so that the meat produced in the northwest such as cattle and sheep can be sold to the interior. How many glass jars do you need? Just leave it to them. ”

That's exactly what Wen meant. Ever since Chen Wenhui talked about this canning workshop, Wen thought of his brother and daughter-in-law's maiden family, the Xi family.

Speaking of this, Yan Shupeng asked, "The workshop we built." It will be completed in half a month. Are both workshops now run by the government? One is the production of finished textile wool products. One is the production of canned food. Both of these are new things. What if those people don't know how to do it? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It doesn't matter, I have already asked the Hei family to send someone to teach." When the workshops are built, we are not busy with production, but now we are training workers. We have money anyway. Not afraid to pay for it. But the people are in the bitter cold winter. There can be an entry. You will be able to survive this winter, and you will still have money to spend, so that next spring. We carried out spring ploughing, built a large number of workshops, and encouraged breeding, and the people could respond. ”

After Chen Wenhui finished speaking, Yan Shupeng understood and said: "Just like we are in Jiangnan, the people have money to work, and they will be able to have money tomorrow, buy better seeds, buy more advanced farm tools, as well as ploughing cattle, horses for ploughing the fields, and also have money to buy some small poultry and livestock breeding, so that next autumn, they can harvest more, and slowly the days will get better." When these people get better, they will naturally buy more things, fabrics, and materials for building houses. Our economy is slowly prospering. “

Chen Wenhui nodded with satisfaction.

Yan Shupeng said: "Such a good plan, but unfortunately, those natives of Tiebi Pass have always resisted, which is really ignorant." “

Chen Wenhui said: "It doesn't matter if they are ignorant, they can't delay our plan. Our husband and wife came here by the emperor's order, not to develop here, not to educate here. So, don't think that I will have the patience to teach them and influence them. I will use means to buy them short. When they have sold everything they have and exchanged it for silver, they will find that they will resist building the road again, but the land on both sides of the road is no longer theirs. They don't have a voice. They then resist the recruitment of the people, the slaves, the people, the slaves are no longer their slaves, they are no longer their tenants. “

Yan Shupeng smiled and said, "This is a good idea, and the bottom of the kettle will be drawn." ”

When they returned home, Wen and Yan Shupeng hurriedly sent a letter to their relatives and mother's family in Jiangnan. After receiving the letter, these people responded enthusiastically.

Needless to say, the Wen family climbed up to Chen Wenhui before, and Chen Wenhui gave their family the general distribution rights of Huzhou Province and Heyang Province of Nanyang silk, and they are making money every day. Although he gave Yan Shupeng Wen's 100,000 taels of silver, he also gave Chen Wenhui hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. However, in such a short period of time, he has already earned more than 100,000 taels of silver. It was a little better than they had expected.

At this rate, the money they send out may be earned back in two years, and it will be all net profit in the future. What a good thing that is. Therefore, the Wen family attaches more importance to the Wen family and Yan Shupeng.

Although Yan Shupeng and his wife went to the northwest, the Yan family and the Wen family still often went there, and they still gave a large number of gifts.

At this moment, I received a letter from the Wen family, and learned that if I could help the county host to do this, then I could get the right to operate the satin promised by the county lord. What a good thing that is.

The Wen family hurriedly convened a meeting of the heads of each house. At the meeting, after the Lord Wen conveyed the meaning of the county lord, everyone was very excited.

The eldest man of the second room said: "Japanese satin is very popular in Jiangnan now, although we also have goods, but they are all distributed from Shanghai. Not much, and you can't get the best suit. Originally, the satin and the Nanyang brocade were our weaknesses, but now, the Nanyang brocade has become our strength, so the satin. If the satin can also be won, then our Wen family will be stronger. ”

The eldest man of the third room said: "Yes, in business, if the goods are not all the goods, we will not sell for money, the more complete our goods, the better our business." In the past six months, because of the drive of Nanyang silk, our Suzhou silk and the local silk we purchased have been selling well. Therefore, it can be expected that if we can get the distribution right of satin, we will definitely be able to bring more benefits to our literary family. ”

The eldest lord of the big house was very satisfied with the support of his clansmen, and said, "Although the amount of silver we contributed to the county lord of Wenhui last time was large, we earned more. It can be seen that it is still very important for us to think of the line of the county lord of Wen Hui. ”

What is the reason for taking the line of the county lord of Wen Hui? Isn't it because of the relationship between Dafang's son-in-law Yan Shupeng? Speaking of which, everyone has to thank the big house. However, to be honest, we should really thank Dafang. Since Dafang married the Yan family, with the support of the Yan family's in-laws, the Wen family's business is getting better and better. Although the Yan family has to be given rich gifts and silver every year, even if the money is not given to the Yan family, it must be stripped away by those local petty officials, and it is better to give it to the Yan family, so it is more refreshing, and there is no need to be angry, and others do not look at the Wen family with the eyes of a businessman, but the in-laws of the assassin Shi, how good is this.

What's more, later, the son-in-law of the big house also brought the line of the lord of Wenhui to the family, and got the distribution right of Nanyang silk, what a big benefit. Therefore, the clansmen admired the big house even more.

And the people of every house began to praise the good of the big house. The eldest man of the big house listened happily, and only after half a loud voice did he say: "Our big house is also for the benefit of the whole family. So, I thought that if this matter was done, we should give Yan's son-in-law some more silver. He and my aunt and grandmother were far away from home in the northwest, and they needed more money. ”

Shouldn't that be? Yan Shupeng and his wife have brought these benefits to the Wen family, and they should not give them thanks, businessmen are very profitable, but they also have clear grievances, and if they help, they should give silver to thank them.

The people in each room agreed, so Dafang decided to give Yan Shupeng another 100,000 taels of silver this time. The eldest man of the big house said: "Then this time we will listen to the words of the county lord of Wenhui, and ask someone to go to the northwest with the silver to buy land and shops." What do you think of fifty taels of silver? ”

The people in each room agreed, and only the eldest man in the second room was silent. The eldest man of the big room asked the eldest man of the second room: "What do you think?" ”

The eldest man in the second room said: "Last time, we just gave silver to the county lord of Wenhui, and we gave fifty taels. And that's not even counting the paintings, precious silks, and the like. Of course, the Nanyang silk that the county lord Wenhui gave us last time was indeed better than the satin, but the satin is also a big business. We just paid 500,000 taels of silver to buy land and shops, which helped the county lord of Wenhui, but we didn't send anything to the county lord of Wenhui? ”

When you think about it, it's true. The big man of the big house said: "We definitely can't go empty-handed, I have already asked people to prepare gifts, or collect famous paintings, Huzhou's new colors of silk this year." There are also some of our specialties here. It is estimated that there are also twenty thousand taels of silver. ”

The second master didn't speak, but he didn't smile. Now everyone understands, I gave things to others before, and there are 500,000 taels of silver, but this time there are only 20,000 taels of silver, and there is no silver, can the county lord of Wenhui give it to the Wen family again if he has such a good opportunity next time? Although it is said that it depends on the face of Yan Shupeng and his wife, Yan Shupeng and his wife are not the superiors of the county lord of Wenhui, they are subordinates, and giving face to subordinates is not the same as giving a superior.
