Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Yes." These businessmen in Jiangnan are all old fritters and are very sensible. Not only did I successfully complete the tasks I assigned, but I also did better than I imagined. Naturally, I want to reward them. ”

"For example, the Wen family, I just asked their family to pay 500,000 taels of silver to buy real estate in the northwest. However, not only did their family invest 1 million taels of silver to buy a lot of real estate in the northwest, but they also exchanged some of the best houses and fields in the south of the Yangtze River for the land and shops of the four major families in Tiebiguan. This expenditure is also a lot, in addition, his family had promised Feng and Yang's two families the travel expenses, and they also had to settle people in Jiangnan, and even built some houses for them in Jiangnan. Of course, I heard that those were all used by the Wen family for the rural people. Then the people went into the city, and they were deserted. However, it is also a large expense, and the repair alone is a lot of money. In this regard, Shuilian helped me calculate, the Wen family spent one million taels of silver to buy real estate in Tiebiguan this time, and nearly one million taels of silver were also paid in Jiangnan for the fields and shops. Coupled with the repair of the house, travel expenses and the like, the Wen family also spent two million taels of silver. ”

Zhao Chongyi couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Wenhui said: "Although the Wen family got the distribution rights of Huzhou and Heyang Prefecture of Nanyang silk that I gave them last year, at the beginning, their family also contributed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to me. In such a short period of time, their family should not have earned it back. The former business has not yet made the family return to its original capital, and the latter has made the family spend so much, I can't get by. Therefore, I not only asked the eldest brother and the second brother to give the Wen family the general distribution rights of Huzhou Province. It was also given the general distribution rights in Ha Duong Prefecture. I heard Shuilian tell me that the Wen family's big business is big, and they can't withstand such continuous expenditures, so they have borrowed a lot of money from our bank. Of course, our bank lent them home. ”

"What satisfies me the most is that the Wen family is holding up his stomach so much, but he doesn't cry out for grievances in front of me. Therefore, I can't do them any wrong. I have already told them that after our fine wool is knitted, it will be the general distributor in Huzhou and Heyang. I also give them home. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "Is this enough?" After all, it's two million taels of silver? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Although their family spent two million. However, I also helped the family settle an account. The real estate that the family bought, including the land, including the shops. At the moment, it looks like a loss. But. I am confident that I will develop the iron wall. When the time comes, the price of the land will come up, and they will either keep it for themselves or sell it again. It's all about making money. Don't lose money. And the one million taels of silver in exchange, I gave them the right to distribute the satin and the woolen tweed, and it was enough. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled: "You are the most shrewd. In this way, you are not only worthy of the Wen family, but also find a good home for our future woolen materials, isn't it a double win? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "This is called a win-win situation." The Wen family is also a smart person, and they trust me. Therefore, they not only brought money to do things beautifully, but also assigned a part of the clan from each house to operate here. This is to let the people spread out here. How many talents have been brought to our iron wall at this time. So, I'm happy too. I hope that this Wen family can prosper here. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded.

Chen Wenhui said: "There are also the Xi family and the Zeng family are also very eye-catching, they are dealing with us for the first time, and each family gave me 500,000 taels of silver. He also brought 500,000 taels of silver to work here. In order to get things done, they not only paid 500,000 taels of silver each, but also exchanged the industry in Jiangnan with this side, and were also responsible for sending the other two Haoqiang to Jiangnan. This makes me very satisfied. In addition to the benefits I promised them, I need to give them some more benefits. ”

"For example, the Xi family, I have signed a contract with their family, and in the future, our canning factory will use the glass from their workshop. This drawing of making canned glassware, I've given them it. They are already at the site to build a workshop, train workers, and start producing glassware. In addition to these, I also promised that I would allow them to sell their glass products to the Northwest tribe in the future, and that the profit for the year would be very objective, and they would not suffer a loss anyway. ”

"And the Zeng family. In addition to writing to my eldest brother and sister-in-law to the general distribution of Ha Duong Province and Huzhou Province of Gaoshan Tea on Yizhou Island of Zeng's family, I also gave them the distribution rights of Huzhou Province and Ha Duong Province, a steamed green tea from the Wa Kingdom, green buds and brown rice tea. It's enough. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded.

Chen Wenhui said: "Moreover, they took the initiative to donate part of the vacated houses that they bought after the relocation of the four major families to us as workshops and schools. I've already asked people to pay for the workshop part. They don't suffer either, but they don't take advantage either. The part of the academy is purely a contribution. In the next step, the place they contributed, I took a fancy to a house that used to be the You family, and it could be renovated and used as a hospital. That one is also contributed, and they are not given money anymore. In this way, it is not enough for them to contribute, so I will give me the 500,000 taels of silver they gave me, a total of 1 million taels of silver, half of which will be put into the school and half in the hospital. ”

"This is my contribution to Da Chu. The emperor is stained with my light in vain. However, I donated it for the sake of the people of Tiebiguan, and I was willing. ”

Zhao Chongyi laughed and said, "I have long known that my Hui'er is the kindest one. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "My million taels of silver is a big number, and I have already asked people to buy him into a field and a shop, so that in the future, even if we are gone, the hospital and the school will be able to maintain the operation with the income from these fields and shops every year." ”

Zhao Chongyi said with satisfaction: "The people of Tiebiguan have begun to enjoy happiness. They will be like the people of Nanyang, with free education and free medical care. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In this way, the cohesion of our people in Tiebiguan is stronger. Also, people from several provinces outside will also be envious and want to settle in Tiebiguan. The tribes of the steppe also wanted to come and settle in the city. In this way, when we build new towns and new provinces on the steppe in the future, we will be able to attract more nomads to settle down. ”

Zhao Chongyi admired: "What you think is really far-reaching. However, you have a lot of point. We'll just do what you say. ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I'm not feeling well today, let people go to issue a new regulation, as long as a child is born, every family can lead two bags of grain, two cheesecloth, and one or two silver, has it been released?" ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "This has been released. Everywhere you go, production is encouraged. It is also in the south of the Yangtze River, in Shanghai City, in Yizhou Island, and even more in Nanyang. If it weren't for the fact that the sea trade has made Jiangnan rich in recent years, and many Jiangnan people have migrated overseas one after another, I am afraid that Jiangnan will not be able to take so many people. ”

Chen Wenhui thought to herself, where is this? In his previous life, such a large Jiangnan, the density of the population was probably unimaginable to Zhao Chongyi.

Chen Wenhui said: "Isn't it good to encourage production? The world is so big. Our Dachu is the most advanced civilization. We could have occupied a lot of places. However, because of our small population, we can only build so little. Take our Nanyang, for example. You know, do you think I'm a man who is short of money? Even if I am short of money, the bank is not short of money, but with so much money, there is no way to build more new cities. Because of what, because of the small population. So, to encourage having children, so that we have more people, we can occupy more places. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "You always encourage others to have children, what about you?" When are we going to have a baby? ”

Chen Wenhui blushed suddenly.

It's also strange to say, it's been almost a year since the two got married, and they haven't had contraception, why haven't they moved for a long time? In fact, the relationship between the two of them is very good, and they have been together all the time, except for those special days of those few days, the two of them have to come once or even twice every day.

Zhao Chongyi is in good health, and every time he makes Chen Wenhui beg for mercy, he can't get enough of it. How come there are no children all this time?

At this time, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered that when he had just crossed over, his weak body was slowly adjusted later. Especially after the master Wu Lixia came, she soaked Chen Wenhui in a medicinal bath every day, and she was also very particular about eating, and she also regulated her inner family qi every day, and practiced boxing in the morning. In this way, Chen Wenhui's body slowly got better.

Is it because the foundation was too thin before, so it affected fertility? It seems that I am going to find an opportunity to find a good doctor to take a good look.

Zhao Chongyi saw that Chen Wenhui was blushing at first, and then he was nervous, his face was a little hesitant and a little lonely. Busy said: "Actually, it's good now." I have heard that women are pregnant early, and when they give birth, it is very dangerous. You're still young, so we'll have to wait a few more years. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but smile when she saw her husband being so understanding. At this time, Chen Wenhui remembered a question. It seems that Zhao Chongyi is a concubine, and his mother-in-law is not good for him, but it is also good. For example, now, if the daughter-in-law of an ordinary large family has not been pregnant for a year, I am afraid that the mother-in-law of the family has already stuffed people in the room. Or torture his daughter-in-law openly and secretly. However, as for herself, her mother-in-law doesn't care about this, and she may wish that she didn't get pregnant, and the family property saved will be given to the descendants of the two sons she gave birth to in the Zhongyi Mansion.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued......)
