After staying in Zhuangzi for three or four days, Wen Hui and Wen Jun, Mei Zhen returned to Shanghai City. After all, everyone has affairs on them, how dare they delay for so long.

After returning to Shanghai, Wen Hui was busy for a few days, and she took care of all the things that had been piled up at hand. Nowadays, all the expenditures in Shanghai City are reviewed and distributed from Wen Hui, so those big merchants, such as timber merchants, stone merchants, carpenters, masons, stonemasons, etc., are all settled by Wen Hui, and now even the money from selling shops, as well as the money from selling ships, the money from selling shipping routes, and taxes are all attributed to Wen Hui here to calculate the general ledger, so Wen Hui has a lot of power at hand, and he is also a big name in Shanghai City. At first, everyone looked down on her a little girl a little, but later, I found that Wen Hui was very shrewd, and she calculated the accounts quickly and accurately. Moreover, although you are young, you are decisive in killing, very imposing, you did not do it right the first time, people can tell you very politely and patiently, and the second time you can't get it right, it won't work, people can directly throw out your account book, so that it will be difficult to want money in the future. If those stewards make mistakes, then I'm sorry, I didn't get it right three times, and I changed people directly, no matter which relationship you introduced.

With such a rectification, now, the accounts of Shanghai City are clear, and they are all done in accordance with Wen Hui's requirements. Wen Hui is easy to manage in this way.

On this day, Wen Hui's accounts were all completed, and the silver that should be distributed was also distributed. The two million taels of silver that should be returned to the emperor, the three million taels of silver that should be returned to the Chen family, and the one million taels that should be returned to the fourth prince Liu Yan, have all been paid. Now the emperor has not only recovered the costs. Moreover, he owed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Shanghai City, which was the money for the purchase of grain. Wen Hui in line with patriotic thoughts, let the emperor owe it first, and. told Ma Mingsong that the money didn't have to be repaid, and Ma Mingsong was overjoyed. Wen Hui went on to say that she would deduct it directly from the next dividend.

Ma Mingsong's smile froze on his face. Dare to deduct the emperor's money like this, what a brave little girl. The one million taels given to the fourth prince Liu Yan, as well as his own 800,000 taels, a total of 1.8 million taels of silver, were all transported back. For this reason, Wen Hui sent half of her guards and the guards of her brothers.

The remaining 200,000 taels, as well as one million taels from his own family, were all left in Shanghai City, and the Chen family also bought a few ships, raised a fleet, and bought a route. Of course, these shareholders can't buy ships at official prices. It's all private prices. There are also routes that are basically equivalent to sending. You can't let the outside merchants know about this.

In this way, the Chen family also traveled back and forth to Goguryeo and Silla. The fleet of the Wa Kingdom is dedicated to selling the things produced by the Chen family. For example, wine, perfume, ready-to-wear, mirrors, glassware, vermicelli, preserved fruits, etc. The profit is still very high.

There are a total of seven clippers in the fleet, and sometimes, the Chen family's goods are not used up, and they also bring some goods from other families, such as the soybean oil of the Wang family, the cotton cloth of the Lan family, quilts, silk, and some jewelry produced by the Wanjia family. If there are still vacancies, bring some special products from Ancheng, Deqing and other places, such as the Song family's bean curd. Sales are really good.

These have not yet used up the Chen family's one million taels of silver, and there are still more than 400,000 taels of silver left, these, together with Chen Wenhui's more than 200,000 taels of silver, Wen Hui has bought houses, all of which are small houses, which are reserved for future rental.

After settling down, Wen Hui finally had time to go and went to find her sister-in-law Wan Meizhen.

Wan Meizhen was busy some time ago, and because Chen Wenjun didn't go out in Shanghai during this period of time, he took over most of the dockyard affairs, so he was idle. As soon as she heard this, Wen Hui looked for her, and hurriedly carried the account book to Wen Hui's yard.

Wen Hui saw that her sister-in-law was wearing a pink gauze dress, and the crow crow was wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head, which looked neat and neat, with a few maids by her side, and the funny thing was that these maids were still holding the account book, Wen Hui immediately smiled and bent over: "Sister-in-law, we all live together, and we are so busy every day that we don't even have time to chat, I can easily invite you over for tea, you are good, and you still have so many account books, what are you doing?" ”

Meizhen was a little embarrassed: "Hey, I also know that you need to rest, but I've been holding back for a few days, and I've been trying to reconcile accounts with you for a long time, and there are still many things to discuss with you, so people can bring all the account books, we can drink tea and discuss at the same time, isn't it the same?" ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you at home, talking to your eldest brother, do you bring an account book?" ”

Meizhen's face turned red: "I've never seen a girl like you, so I make fun of my sister-in-law if I have nothing to do." ”

While speaking, Meizhen had already arrived at the door, and Wen Hui hurriedly asked Qiubi to take Meizhen's maids and account books to the ear room to reconcile the accounts. He took Meizhen's hand and sat in the flower hall, where fragrant fruit tea and delicate snacks had already been prepared.

Meizhen looked at the elegantly decorated flower hall and said, "You will enjoy it then, it is so comfortable here, no wonder your eldest brother always says that you are good here." No, you have to help me set up the decoration when you go back, well, you have to wait until your eldest brother is not at home. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "No problem, sister-in-law, as long as you take out all your good things, I will definitely make a better place for you than the palace." If you don't have enough things, it's no problem, let's buy it, the current Shanghai city, from the south to the north, you can buy anything. ”

Meizhen said: "That's it, you must go?" ”

Wen Hui smiled and pulled Meizhen to an armchair and sat down, poured a cup of fruit tea and said, "It must be, okay, taste this tea first, I used flower tea, honey, and a little fruit juice to make it." ”

Meizhen took a small sip and exclaimed: "You can really enjoy it, you can make anything, and you can make a name for yourself with a tea." It's really delicious. By the way, speaking of which, I remembered that the chair you got me last time to wash my hair was really useful, and since then washing my hair has become a pleasure. I heard that the princess has also used your shampoo chair for a long time, and she doesn't forget to take it with her wherever she goes. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "These are just small paths, I came to you to discuss our business." ”

Meizhen hurriedly asked: "You say, but about the Treasure Mirror Workshop?" ”

Wen Hui looked at Meizhen, she was the only one here, and her maids all went to the ear room to reconcile. Just said: "First of all, did you tell your maids about the rules of our house that I told you last time?" ”

Meizhen hurriedly said: "I told them everything." I've been watching it for so long, some happy and some disappointed. It seems that I thought my maids were intimate henchmen, not really. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they can be as happy as they can be, you have been watching it for so long, you should know it in your heart." Those who have different intentions will slowly leave, and those who are happy and motivated will be cultivated well. We still have too few people. How many businesses need to be hired at the moment. The shops in Shanghai need to employ people, the shops in Suzhou City need to employ people, and the shops in Beijing also need to employ people, not to mention these things, I still want to get our shops in the Wa Kingdom, Silla, and Goguryeo. But there is not enough manpower at the moment, what should I do? ”

Meizhen was a little worried: "This is the case, otherwise, let's get some more people over?" ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "It's right to get people over, I think Sister Biwen has trained these people well." Just like that, let Sister Biwen go back to get married. When Sister Biwen became a relative and lived in Qingyang City, she asked her to buy us people and train people, how about it? ”

Meizhen was very happy to hear it and said: "This is good, in fact, I used to think that these maids of mine were very capable, but after being trained by Biwen like this, I realized that they were far behind, and now they can be regarded as reluctantly taking out." Thinking that I used to take these people to visit the door, of course, at that time I was in contact with merchants, where have I seen a noble person like the princess, at that time it was not shameful, now look at the people around the princess, I am glad, I am fortunate that I was trained by Sister Biwen, otherwise, I will not be laughed at by relatives? Speaking of which, I still have to thank my sister. ”

Wen Hui smiled: "Sister-in-law, you were originally a hearty person, why did you become like this, what is this, aren't you my sister-in-law?" Could it be that if you are laughed at by your relatives, I will have face? We're a family, where to use these kind words. ”

Wen Hui continued: "That's all. In fact, I am also asking Sister Bishui to help me train some people, after all, I have other business to do. Hey, this is a lack of talent. Who told us that our family is thin? By the way, sister-in-law, let me tell you, the business of our Baojing Fang is so good, do you think you want to open a few more branches? ”

Meizhen thought about it and said, "Originally, I also wanted to open a few more branches." But I thought about it again, our things are not for the common people, this is for the nobles, that is, they are shipped overseas, and they are also for those overseas nobles and royal families, so this branch does not need much, as long as it is fine. What do you see? ”

Wen Hui thinks about it, and those luxury goods in her previous life are not available in every city, only in first-tier cities. is still more professional in Meizhen, Wen Hui said: "What my sister-in-law said is very true. In this way, we will maintain these branches, but the service must be done well, and the product quality must be excellent. ”

Meizhen smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, this is my province." After all, I'm from Wanjiayinlou, don't you understand this truth? By the way, I have something to discuss with you. ”

Wen Hui hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" You say. ”
