Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "No matter what, we succeeded this time." Your goods are all profitable, and my customs have finally started collecting taxes. Also, this time, we have made a lot of money from the shipping fees of these five ships, not to mention the goods that are traded with us, and there are taxes. In addition to these, because when our goods leave the port, they are all the goods of various merchants, and after they go, they are just selling for money. How did we take this money and buy the goods produced in Goguryeo, and then sell them back to the port, this return cargo is the most profitable. I bought a lot of Korean ginseng for ten taels of silver in Goguryeo, and I could sell it for one hundred taels when I got to the port. This profit is very large, so this voyage is very profitable, no wonder people say that the money of sea trade is easy to make, this is a good start. This is still secondary, and the best thing is that when the news spreads, our house is better sold, and the businessman who rented our first phase of the shop is also available. My shop has been rented out by a porcelain dealer. Isn't that good? ”

Wen Hui also smiled and said, "There are also people inquiring about my shop, and I'm thinking about it." Of course, more people want to buy our second phase shop. However, I have more than 20 sets of relatives and friends here to say hello and order, and this is still my family's, if you count yours, it is not enough for us to sell any outsiders. ”

Chen Wenlin said: "We only have 50 shops in the second phase, which is really not enough. ”

Xu Wenchang hurriedly said: "My friends in the capital came to say hello and want to buy, you have to keep it for me, at least ten rooms." ”

Ma Mingsong said: "Oh, I'm late, can there be anything left?" My friends want to buy it too, at least 30 of them. ”

Wen Lin smiled bitterly: "Brother Ma, our first phase is only fifty in total, how can this be sold?" ”

Ma Mingsong laughed and said, "In that case, we will tell them that whoever takes the money first will not give it to whom." As for the ones that I didn't buy, I waited for three installments. Who made them slow to take the money, we are not to blame for this. ”

Wen Hui thought to herself, these ancients are really smart, and they learned to pre-sell properties so quickly.

Xu Wenchang said: "Actually, the new route. We've already agreed on it. Let's take a trip to the Wa country. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, this is all the wax moon, and it is too late. In fact, there are already some merchants who are booking positions in Goguryeo. Now let's not sell the Goguryeo position, let's sell the position of the Wa Kingdom. ”

Wen Jun said: "I build yì, we can pre-sell the second phase now, and at the same time start to pre-sell the position to go to the Wa Kingdom, and wait until the beginning of next year I will personally go to the Wa Kingdom, by the way, there is also Brother Ma, this time, we will send people to stay in the Wa Kingdom." Inquire about the silver mines. This requires people who can prospect, and we don't have them here, so we have to find them. ”

Ma Mingsong said: "Actually, we also left manpower in Goguryeo this time, because we want to collect their goods so that we can sail again next time." There will be no need to delay for ten days. In that case, after we have shipped the goods, we can directly pull the goods of Goguryeo that have already been acquired. It's just that next time I have to bring more ships over, after all, the most in Goguryeo is the Xianghua rice, and this is a very positional position. We can do this and ship more goods. If it can't be sold for a while, it will be put in the hands of our people left behind, and I have already asked them to buy land with money and recruit people to build warehouses. In this way, we can transport more grain on the return trip, which will alleviate the food shortage caused by the drought in our Dachu this year. ”

Xu Wenchang said: "Okay, it's decided, Brother Ma, you hurry up and pre-sell the second phase, Wenjun hurry up and pre-sell the position in the Wa Kingdom, and I'll go find someone who can prospect." At the beginning of the year, we are now going to go to the Wa Kingdom, and then to Goguryeo to pull grain. Wen Lin stepped up construction, Wen Hui hurriedly closed the accounts a year ago, we got off to a good start, and now we can have a good year. ”

Everyone hurriedly responded, and then went to work separately. Wen Hui and Ma Mingsong said as they walked: "Brother Ma, you must leave a little bit for my sister-in-law's house before you pre-sell, but I agreed." If I hadn't bought it for her, wouldn't I have to see my sister-in-law's face in the future? ”

Wen Jun, who was walking behind, had a stiff face, and Wen Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In the next few days, Mingzhu also came, and she got a letter from Wen Hui and rushed to buy Korean ginseng and other medicinal materials produced in Goguryeo. At the same time, I also looked at my shop and found that someone wanted to rent a shop, so I went through the procedures and rented out the shop. Originally, the merchant was going to rent for three years, but Wen Hui gave Mingzhu a look, but Mingzhu didn't agree, but just signed a one-year contract.

Later, Mingzhu asked, "Why don't you let me sign with him for a few more years?" ”

Wen Hui rolled her eyes: "Silly sister, this Shanghai city is changing day by day, now it is just a small city, in the future, the sea trade business will get better and better, these shops are not more and more profitable, the shops will rise in a year, if you sign for three years, it will not be a loss." ”

Mingzhu then figured it out, and said with a smile: "You are still smart." There's nothing wrong with following you. By the way, my medicinal herbs have been purchased and I'm ready to go home, do you want to go back together? Wen Hui said: "I can't go back now, this is the time to be busy, the end of the year is coming, it is time to settle the craftsmen, and the materials everywhere must also be settled, I have been busy for the past two days." I sue you, fortunately, I bought you the shop in this phase at that time, and it only cost more than 50,000 taels at that time, and now the second phase will cost 70,000 or 80,000 taels for leisure, and 100,000 taels for the better ones. It's better than going to Suzhou City. ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "There were still people who wanted to buy my shop now, but now if I sell it, people are willing to pay 60,000 taels of silver." I can make a few thousand taels in less than a month, I still haven't sold it, and I will definitely make more money in the future. ”

Wen Hui said: "You are finally not stupid, just wait." Soon the shops in this place will be more expensive than in the capital. ”

Mingzhu was surprised: "Can it be more expensive than the capital?" ”

Wen Hui nodded seriously.

Mingzhu immediately said: "Then I won't sell it." Anyway, I'm not short of money to spend right now. By the way, I still haven't told you something, your lobby sister Chen Wenfeng has arrived in Qingyang City. Their governor's mansion was built, and both husband and wife moved in. Liu Jingyuan also moved. ”

Wen Hui said, "Really? It's fast. I'm afraid this princess can't sit still, right? ”

Mingzhu said, "Isn't it? The four princes are so good-looking, half of the little girls in Jiangnan are in love with him. Not to mention anything else, my maids will shine in their eyes when they see the four princes, and I am afraid of seeing them. ”

Wen Hui laughed.

In the next few days, everyone was very busy, and Mingzhu returned to Qingyang City, and of course brought a lot of medicinal herbs back.

Not two days after Mingzhu left, Wang Zhicheng came, he came to buy the pre-sale house of the second phase for the Wang family and the Lan family. As soon as he finished buying, someone from the Wan family came, it was Wan Meizhen's brother, and this was personally entertained by Wen Jun. Wen Lin took it and chose a few shops. However, Meizhen's shop pù was the first to buy it, because not long after Meizhen left, someone sent someone to deliver the silver ticket. Although it was still a little short in the end, Wen Jun automatically and consciously made up for it. For this, Wen Hui laughed for a long time.

The houses in this second phase have all been pre-sold before the Chinese New Year, and there are still many people who have not bought them, among which most of them are friends of the city lord and the horse. Because his friends are the farthest away, and when they are all sold out, these people are unwilling, so they have to let the horse open three phases. I can't stand the pressure, among these people there are old princes, ministers in power, people from big families, anyway, they all have heads and faces, I can't do it, so I quickly pushed out the third phase, these people bought pre-sale houses, and then went back satisfied. In this way, the second phase was sold out, and half of the third phase was sold. The second phase received more than 3 million taels, and half of the third phase also received more than 3 million taels, and there were nearly 7 million taels of silver at once. This is only the shopkeeper's, and the return journey of this voyage made a lot of money, enough to 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver. Of course, this is also because those medicinal materials make a lot of money, and the grain does not make a lot of money, but these grains can solve the problem of eating in Shanghai, and there is no need to buy food from Suzhou. In addition to this, there is also the money for pre-sale positions, because next year we will go to sea to the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo, and there are many ships to go, so it accumulates a lot, and there are more than 100,000 taels of silver. Now Zi Wenhui calculated that the money for construction was enough. In the future, if there is an input, it will be a profit. The news was heartening for everyone. After waiting here for so much, you can finally make money after so hard work, can you not be happy?

In a short time, the New Year will be. On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Xu Wenchang announced that he was on vacation, except for him and Chen Wenlin who stayed, the rest of the people went home for the New Year.

Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun also went home, this time, in order to hurry home, plus they didn't bring anything, so they chose to take the land route, which tossed Wen Hui to death, and it took five days to drive, Wen Hui's bones were going to be broken, and she arrived in Qingyang City.

When she got home, Wen Hui slept at the end of the day, and she couldn't eat, which made Bai's heart ache.

After Wen Hui rested, he couldn't help but calculate, he should learn from the spring making method in Fusu's booklet to see if this can be made, if the carriage has a spring, it must be much better, at least it won't be so bumpy, and he can be more comfortable in the future. Thinking of this, Wen Hui hurriedly took out the booklet to find out how to make a spring, and asked Qiu Bi to take out the pen and ink and start transcribing it.

is writing, the Bai family sent the maid red carp to see how Wen Hui rested? Wen Hui hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and said to the red carp with a smile: "Sister red carp, I still bother you to come here, I have rested, and I have nothing to do with my body, so it's good." Now pack up and go to your mother's. ”

The red carp wore a rusty red cotton jacket, with gold lilac earrings, red gold cordyceps hairpins, and jade bracelets, looking very stylish, and said: "Girl, don't worry, if you have a good rest, you will change your clothes first, and then wear a few pieces of jewelry before going, Madame has a guest there, it is your lobby sister, the princess of Jinjun." ”
