When I came to the black family's shop, I saw that the shop was full of people, and the business was very good, and the black family's shops had expanded their scale. As soon as Chen Wenhui arrived, a young man went to inform Tang Guanghui, who was in charge of the shopkeeper.

Tang Guanghui hurriedly ran over and invited Chen Wenhui and Bai Shi to come to the private room upstairs to sit down and drink tea. Tang Guanghui said: "Wen Hui, you haven't seen you in the past few years, and you are really getting more and more beautiful." ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Say, but what's the matter? ”

Tang Guanghui was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, you are the smartest, and I can't hide anything from you." We have a good business in our four shops. Especially those branches, which made us a lot of money. There are also branches in the family farms, which are very profitable, and they also bring us some precious specialties in the family farms. Some cherished herbs, and some special ores. However, we are still thinking about some specialties of the Northwest. You are going to enter the Zhongyi Mansion in the future, can you draw us a line, so that our shop can also go to the northwest. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The northwest is sparsely populated, how many people can buy your things?" You are all luxuries, which those bitter Northwest people can afford? You look like you're ready to lose money and go to the northwest to do business. ”

Tang Guanghui smiled bitterly and said: "In this business, I am really not as good as you, and I was seen through by you all of a sudden." ”

Bai Shi asked with some surprise: "What?" Wen Hui didn't say nonsense? Does the Tang shopkeeper really plan to lose money and go to the northwest to do business? ”

Where in this world is there anyone who knows how to lose money and still go into business?

Tang Guanghui looked at Bai's strange gaze and explained, "You will definitely lose money when you go to the northwest. But there's nothing we can do. Some meteorites have been found in the northwest. Some meteorites have dark iron in them. This thing is also very good in our black family's treasury. Last time, Wen Hui asked the master of the black family to build a weapon for General Zhao Xiao. We put some dark iron in it, and this has the effect of sharpening iron like clay. However, this dark iron is only found in meteorites, and it should be a metal that only exists in the sky. Da Chu, there are few meteorites on Yizhou Island, and for thousands of years, so much has been collected by us a long time ago. Now, I found that there are still a lot of them in the northwest, so naturally the masters of our Hei family can't sit still. I have to be forced to go to the northwest to do business. Don't say it's losing money. Even if you send money to the northwest, you have to go. ”

Chen Wenhui thought of his previous life, in the northwestern steppe, and farther away in Russia, where meteorites often fell in Siberia. It may be that the magnetic field there is more attractive to meteorites. What is Xuantie, Chen Wenhui really doesn't understand. It's a good alloy. There is nothing on earth. Only the meteorite has a little bit in it, so it is extraordinarily precious. Plus the Northwest. The Siberian region, those cold regions, steppe areas, is originally vast and sparsely populated, even if there are meteorites, not many people have found them, and for thousands of years, they may have really saved a lot.

It's a good idea for the people of the Black family to want to get meteorites there.

Chen Wenhui herself still supports this spirit of sparing no expense for science.

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "I once read in Emperor Guanglie's book that there are a lot of meteorites in the northwest steppe and further away in Siberia, because the land there is sparsely populated and the climate is not good, so there are even fewer meteorites found. It's a good idea for you guys to go there and find meteorites. In fact, there are not only meteorites there, but also some other precious mineral deposits. I think it's all things that your black family's masters like. ”

Tang Guanghui was originally skeptical of this request of his master, but there were only two purposes for Jin Ming's deposit, one was to provide funds for the development of the black family. The second is to trade guò and help the black masters collect more resources. Of these two points, it is more important to collect various resources.

Tang Guanghui got a meteorite sold by a merchant in the northwest by chance, and after buying it at an inexpensive price, the master of the Hei family actually found a lot of useful things in it, including a small piece of precious dark iron. This discovery made the masters of the black family unable to sit still, and they all asked to open the shop to the northwest, and then send personnel to the northwest to collect and purchase these precious meteorites.

Tang Guanghui originally thought that such an opportunity to get a meteorite was a special case, but if he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what happened, if there really was, the black family was wealthy, and he made a lot of money by opening shops in recent years, and the construction of several cities in Nanyang was also very profitable, so the black family was not short of money, but lacked all kinds of precious resources. It's really not a big deal to exchange some money for such a chance to get Xuantie. Therefore, Tang Guanghui also agreed to open the shop in the northwest region to see if he could be lucky enough to collect such a dark iron. It's just that the shop loses some money every year, and the black family really doesn't care about this money.

Since we are going to the northwest, it will definitely not work without official care. Therefore, Tang Guanghui hit the idea to Chen Wenhui, who was about to marry Chen Wenhui, the second son of the Zhongyi family, the leader of the Northwest Army. He said to Chen Wenhui that he just wanted Chen Wenhui to introduce some generals of the Northwest Army, so that it would be more convenient for them to open shops in the northwest in the future.

Who knows, there are unexpected surprises waiting for him. Chen Wenhui actually told him very definitely, Emperor Guanglie's book mentioned that there are really meteorites in the northwest, and the number seems to be not small. In addition to these precious meteorites, there are many mineral deposits in the northwest, all of which are of interest to the masters of the Black Family. Didn't this discovery make Tang Guanghui happy?

Who is Emperor Guanglie? It can be said that the Hei family was established with the support of Emperor Guanglie. Others don't believe in Emperor Guanglie, but everyone in the Hei family does. Why is the Hei family willing to recognize the Xiao Chen family as the master, isn't it because Chen Wenhui is a disciple of Emperor Guanglie? Now that Chen Wenhui said this, the credibility is basically 100 percent.

Tang Guanghui was very excited: "Really? If that's the case, we're really going to open a shop in the northwest. However, the northwest is different from other places in Dachu. The power of the Northwest is in the hands of the generals of the Northwest Army. We are not very familiar with the generals of the Northwest Army. So, I want to ask Wen Hui to help. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "You are willing to lose money, but I am not willing to lose money." Your black family has money to lose. I still have three cities to feed? There are many places to spend money, and there is no money to lose. So, I don't want to open a shop in the past. ”

Tang Guanghui is almost about to grit his teeth, you Chen Wenhui don't have any money yet, so is there still a rich person in Da Chu? Tang Guanghui said: "You have spent a lot of money in Nanyang in recent years, I know. The dividends of the four shops in the capital, I have to transfer them to you every year through the guò bank to maintain your urban construction. It's really a lot of money. I'm kind of going to tell you a little bit more, though. We are open in various places, the dividends of the branches of various ethnic groups, I have already asked you, you said that you don't need to remit to Nanyang for the time being, so many years of accumulation, although not as good as the business in the capital, but the number is large, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver here. ”

Chen Wenhui knew that Tang Guanghui was going to say this, originally, she came today to deal with the dividends of hundreds of thousands of taels. These dividends were deliberately stayed in the capital by her, and she was ready to wait until she returned to the capital. Originally, if the construction of Nanyang City needed a lot of money, she transferred this money over, but in fact, the money turnover of Nanyang City was very good, and there was the issuance of silver paper, which greatly solved the problem of money shortage. So, the money has never been used.

Chen Wenhui thought that she was going to get married next, and the cost would be much larger. The county lord's mansion has to be renovated, and there are still many things to do, and everything needs to cost money, so I want to find Tang Guanghui to bring out this money. Unexpectedly, when he came to Tang Guanghui, he hadn't said anything about raising money, and Tang Guanghui had already said that he was going to the northwest to do business.

Bai knew that his daughter was rich. Very rich. But thinking about it, the money spent by the second son in the past few years to build Tianshui City has gone to the sea, but the few cities that his daughter has built in recent years have not used the money of Xiao Chen's family, and the money she earned from doing business in Chen Wenhui has been spent on building the city. Who would have thought that Chen Wenhui still had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver left here in Tang Guanghui and did not move.

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "My silver is still useful, there is still a big gap in Nanyang." Besides, you can get some precious resources by going to the northwest, so it doesn't matter if you lose money, but what can I get? I don't want to open a shop. Besides, I'm going to marry into the Zhongyi Mansion, but haven't I been married yet? Wait until I get married. ”

As soon as Tang Guanghui heard that there was a door, he smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent, as long as you agree to help." We also need some time to prepare. By the way, I also heard that you asked the master of our Hei family in Qingchun City to make a new carriage for you. The carriage used something called a tire, and the carriage immediately became faster and more comfortable to sit on, didn't it? Is this going to be sold in our Shippudo in the future? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "This is natural. It's just that rubber, the main material used for tires, cannot be mass-produced yet. I have already encouraged the people to plant rubber trees in Qingchun City. But it takes six or seven years for such trees to harvest rubber. Now there are only more than three years, and it is not enough, at least it will be four or three years before the first batch of rubber can come out, so that a large number of zuò tires can be made and sold by our Shippudo. It is estimated that at that time, the scale of the Speedwind Hall will be greatly expanded, and there will be not only such carriages for nobles, but also tires that will be sold specifically and equipped with ordinary carriages. In this way, it may be necessary to set up many branches. Business is going to get bigger and bigger, and more and more people are needed. You need to be mentally prepared now.
