The Hu family is busy. Chen Wenhui's mansion also began to get busy. Chen Wenhui came together this day, and she was a little lazy and couldn't lift her spirits. simply didn't go to the yamen, let Zhao Chongyi go to the yamen to deal with affairs, she stayed at home, and after resting for a while, she was in better spirits, so she called Shui Lian, and Shui Han came to reconcile.

For a while, I was basically busy with the affairs of the iron wall, and rarely asked about my own industry. Chen Wenhui took advantage of today's free time to start looking at how her industry was doing.

Speaking of which, Chen Wenhui is really a hands-off shopkeeper. Nanyang's mess of things was given to Wan Shuhui, Qiu Bi, Lu Ya, and of course, the second brother and his wife in Tianshui City. The business of Baojingfang was thrown to her sister-in-law Wan Meizhen. The Xiao Chen family's property is naturally taken care of by the Bai family himself. The Wa Kingdom and Yizhou Island are naturally taken care of by the eldest brother Chen Wenjun and his wife.

The business of the pharmaceutical factory is run by Pearl. The Beijing Hospital, as well as most of the Yangshan Halls in the world, are taken care of by Mingzhu. Chen Wenhui's Dachu Bank and Nanyang Bank are both run by Wan Shuhui.

For more than a year, Chen Wenhui has devoted himself to the construction of the northwest, and at the moment it is okay, but the hard work has finally paid off, and the construction of the northwest has progressed faster than everyone imagined.

Now, those unconvinced tribes have been beaten, and the rest are thinking about how to make money, and Zhao Chongyi is also free to help take over the affairs of the northwest managed by Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

All of them, she was in a relaxed mood and drank the freshly cooked almond syrup. Listening to Shui Han reporting the situation: "Now the four cities in Nanyang are almost under construction. The fourth city is also almost ready. Suzaku Castle has been completed. ”

"In addition to Qingchun City, there is another city that has begun to collect farmland tax, Vermilion Bird City. So, this year, Suzaku City doesn't need our subsidy money. Not only does Qingchun City not need to subsidize money to enter, but there is also a surplus, and the accounts of these surpluses are here, please take a look at the county lord. ”

"Two-thirds of the construction of Jade Rose City has been completed, and the money needed to spend this year is much less than last year," said Shuilian. This is the account. ”

Shui Han said: "The cost of Treasure City has been completed by half. It will take as much money as last year, but there is still a need to build roads connecting villages and towns. The budget is a little more. This is the account. ”

"Our Nanyang Bank and Dachu Bank have made more profits this year than in previous years. It is because Dachu Bank is now a dominant company. There is no competition from Royal Bank. Nanyang Bank is due to the increase in the number of cities and the increase in natural residents. Wealth increases, loans increase, businesses increase, and profits increase. This is the account of two banks. Among them, there is also a lot of increase on the Siamese side. The money earned by these banks was invested in the four cities of Nanyang according to the previous orders of the county lord. ”

"Because of the lack of expenses in Vermilion Bird City this year, although the expenses of Jumbo City have increased, the expenses of Jade Rose City have also decreased, so in general, the bank's profits can still make up for the expenses of the four cities. However, this is also because Jade Rose City and Treasure City are both funded by everyone, and we basically don't invest much. Therefore, in the next few years, even these four cities will not have to spend money, and only Qingchun City and Vermilion Bird City will be able to make money. ”

"Those two cities will have to wait until everyone's dividend period is over before they can make money for us."

Shui Han said: "Mrs. Wan, the lady of the city lord of Xinguang City, that is, the eldest and youngest grandmother, has already sent us the profits and accounts of this year's Baojing Fang, a total of 400,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Shui Lian said: "The money we had left before, as well as the money we earned from going to southern Xinjiang, and the money sent from everywhere, were all invested in the construction of Tiebi Pass in the northwest and our Shanhai City. Among them, only canning workshops and textile workshops can make a profit this year. The canning workshop made a profit of 200,000 taels of silver this year, and the textile workshop made a profit of 300,000 taels of silver this year. This is the workshop of the Iron Wall Pass. ”

"The construction of the branch factory in Shanhai City was relatively late, so the canning workshop made a profit of 150,000 taels of silver, and the textile workshop made a profit of 100,000 taels of silver. This is the ledger. ”

Shui Han said: "The Hei family has also taken our share this year, this is the account book, a total of 700,000 taels of silver. Now the four stores of the Hei family in Beijing have a stable income, there are branches in Shanghai City and Suzhou City, and there are also branches in the clan land of the four major families. Organically, there is a little more profit. ”

Shui Lian said: "And Mrs. Mingzhu brought this year's account book of the pharmaceutical factory, and this year there are 120,000 taels of silver distributed to the county lord. However, I didn't take a cent of the money, and I sent it to the Yangshan Hall and the hospital. Here are the accounts. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

While looking at the account book, he asked: "Did the rest of our property be invested in buying and selling real estate and land in various places?" ”

Shui Lian and Shui Han said: "It's not all, the money we earned, as well as the silver sent by the Wen family, the Xi family, and the Zeng family, part of it was sent to the hospitals and Yangshan Hall that we built in Tiebiguan and Shanhai City, this is the account, and it cost about 500,000 taels of silver in total." The rest of the more than 2 million taels of silver have gone to the three provinces and Tiebi Pass, Shanhai City to buy shops, build houses, buy fertile land, and pastures. Didn't the county lord say that these were all investments to facilitate our future construction, and we would let them go for a few years before selling? ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "Only by buying all the things in the hands of those disobedient heroes can we carry out our plan so quickly. We only have ten years, in fact, I don't want to stay in this place for even ten years, so it is better to go back as soon as possible. Of course, I don't have time to grind with them. That's the benefit of having money. ”

Both Shui Lian and Shui Han laughed. Shuilian said: "We have invested a lot of money, and we have invested millions of taels of silver at once. In addition to the money we invested, there were also the Cao family, the Ma family, Mrs. Mingzhu, the lord of Shuyuan in the capital, the Tian family, the Duan family, the Linhai Bo family, and many other families who entrusted us with the money. That's more than 20 million taels of silver. More than the annual income of the state treasury. Can you still buy a Northwest? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled after thinking about it and said: "This is convenient for me, and it is also convenient for the people they invest in." I have managed the Northwest well, and in the future, as soon as they sell it, they will make it back exponentially, and they will thank me. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at the account book carefully, and used the abacus to flip the numbers a few times from time to time.

After calculating for a long time, Chen Wenhui asked: "Then the cash we can use now is less than two million taels of silver?" ”

"This is income, and we still have expenses," said Shuilian. We built the county lord's mansion in Tiebi Pass in the northwest, and it was almost completed, and it took about more than 500,000 taels of silver. The main thing is that the glass table is expensive, and we use too much. “

Shui Han said: "I also left 50,000 taels of silver for our house in the capital, which was specially used for manpower expenses, monthly money, maintenance of the house, etc. It's almost the New Year, and I sent two Boxing gifts to the Zhao family's mansion in the capital. One is for the Zhongyi Mansion, which is some of our Tiebi Pass specialties, such as high-quality woolen textiles, precious furs, and some precious medicinal materials. The same thing was also prepared for Zhuangzi. In addition to things, he also gave fifty thousand taels of silver. Although the old loyal and righteous father has not been in the house for a year, however, our news said that during the Chinese New Year, he went back, and he should be in the capital now. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "This, the old loyal and righteous father has already sent a letter to our grandfather, the third master is married, and he will marry after the New Year." This year, the filial piety to the former emperor has been removed. The major wealthy nobles are naturally going to start marrying. Not only is the third master going to marry after the New Year, but Zhao Yufei is also going to get married. She was going to get married, but it was delayed by the national funeral, and this removal of the service naturally had to get married quickly. ”

Shui Lian and Shui Han said: "The Snow Girl in our mansion also gave us an account, in the past few months, since the removal of the service, there have been more marriages in the capital, and there are more followers in our house. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "No, I'm getting more and more capable of making snow." ”

Shuilian continued: "This account book is the expenditure account of our house, and our house has spent more than 100,000 taels of silver this year. Among them, the New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to people in the capital account for the majority. It's all over the place. Also, we gave gifts to the tribal leaders in return. However, we also received a lot of gifts, if we hadn't come to the opposite side, some of the gifts given by others, the capital gave back to the tribesmen, and the tribes sent to the capital, I'm afraid it would have cost more than 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled bitterly and said: "This is the disadvantage of a big family, and the cost is also big." ”

Both Shui Lian and Shui Han laughed.

Chen Wenhui said: "The rest of the money, leaving 500,000 taels of silver that cannot be touched, what if there is still a need?" For the rest, after the New Year, my grandfather and I may have to go back to the capital and use it. If you want to get married, it will cost about 100,000 taels of silver. The third master got married, and the grandfather meant to give some things, and he also gave 50,000 taels of silver. Yu Fei got married, and in addition to adding makeup, we also gave 50,000 taels of silver. ”

Shui Han and Shui Lian hurriedly wrote it down.

Chen Wenhui said: "The things that are sent here must be prepared in advance. You take an inventory of the storeroom and draw up a list. ”

Shui Han and Shui Lian hurriedly agreed.

Chen Wenhui asked again: "Has the Hei family reported the situation?" Which steam engine was researched anyway? How's the research on rubber products? Our cement workshop is very fast for them to study, which cement workshop in the mountains has produced a lot. Now our roads are all concrete. Why are they not ready to get the rubber and steam engines that are earlier than the cement square? (To be continued......)
