Chapter 223: Pride
Princess Lichuan smiled and said, "Wen Hui, this child, it's really hard for her to think of anything, only she can come up with such a good way." In this way, we can decide what we want to do now. First, run Shanghai City well, strive for more dividends, and in the future, we will build a city and expand the territory, which is the most money-burning thing in the world. The more money you have, the better your chances of winning. Second, we need to train officials who can inherit our management methods, so that we can hand over Shanghai City, so that Shanghai City can continue to flourish now, and will not be lost among the other cities of Great Chu, maintain its vitality, and continue to become the cash cow of Great Chu, so that it can be regarded as worthy of our father. ”
Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "What the princess said is that our city of Shanghai is different from other cities in Dachu. Our hospital here is free of charge for the people of Shanghai. Well, I heard this, and now the capital has also started, but there are too many people in the capital, and for a while, it is not possible for all the people to see a doctor for free, only those who are very poor and have been recognized by the government can see a doctor for free, and this fee is not from the government in the capital, but also donated by those internal and external wives led by the mother. This is where we in Shanghai have an advantage. There is also a free government school, and there is also a Yangshan Hall that takes care of widows and loneliness. Of course, what is more important is the shipyard, as well as the trade of shipping routes, and the taxation of city stores, which are all very important, where can ordinary Dachu officials understand these. It must be an official trained by us and familiar with the operation of Shanghai City. I have been cultivating such officials, and I already have a few good seedlings, so I just need time to experience them more. ”
Princess Lichuan said: "We still have time, and when these people have experienced, we should also retire." I went to Nanyang to fight the world. It's just that this is far away from Da Chu, and I'm really worried about it. ”
Xu Wenchang gently hugged Princess Lichuan's fragrant shoulder and said, "How can I be willing to let you go to that kind of wild place?" If I go to Nanyang to build a city, I will go first, and when I have laid all the groundwork, at least there will be a city like Shanghai City that can resist the attack of indigenous beasts. There is a certain material base. Pick up your mother and son in the past and work with me to build our future foundation, and we will create a new Xu family. In the future, our Xu family will not only be a royal barrier. It's still a big family, even if it's not as good as the Chen family, at least it can be a big family. ”
Princess Lichuan smiled, the horse that her father chose for her. She is really capable and loves her.
The next day. The city lord Xu Wenchang announced the news that the new route was for sale, but this incident made the caravans in Shanghai City smash the pot. Today's maritime trade is still prosperous, but it is very different from before. There are more maritime merchants, more competition, and profits are naturally not as good as before. Secondly. Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo. The three old overseas trading places of Silla were greatly reduced due to the riots of the local people, and many maritime merchants who bought these three routes suffered a lot of losses. Fortunately, there is also the support of the route of Xinguang City on Yizhou Island, otherwise, the sea trade is really going to be depressed. Those maritime merchants who bought the Xinguang City route on Yizhou Island are now in high spirits, and the other maritime merchants are naturally very remorseful, regretting why they didn't buy it when the new route was opened, when it was the cheapest, and now the price of this route is very high, and the money can not be compared with the previous one.
Just when these maritime merchants were remorseful, they suddenly said that there was a very good route to sell, and they didn't attract everyone's attention at once? Those maritime merchants of the three countries such as the Wa Kingdom are eager to develop and get rid of the current predicament, they have a large number of materials in their hands, such as porcelain, wine, silk, tea and other things, and are eager to sell, but the three countries no longer have such a great purchasing power, they are eager to find new dumping places for goods, how can they let go of the opportunity of new routes, after all, porcelain and other things are fine, those tea and other things can not be put for a long time.
In addition to the maritime merchants of these three routes who want to buy new routes, even the maritime merchants of Xinguang City also want to have one more way, after all, they who have tasted the sweetness of the new routes, they know the taste of the marrow, and they are even more unwilling to let go of this opportunity to make money.
As a result, the City Lord's Mansion was busy, and everyone was ready to buy new routes with silver tickets ready to develop new sources of wealth.
Naturally, someone reported this situation to Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui was freshening up, and after hearing the news, she was very happy, and said to Wan Shuhui: "Look, we haven't built a new city yet, there are already new routes for sale, this Princess Lichuan is really a master, no wonder the emperor is relieved to hand over Shanghai City to her." ”
Wan Shuhui said: "Yes, the maritime merchants in Shanghai City are very shrewd, the sea trade began in the past few years, I don't know how many new rich people have been achieved, these rich people have experienced the test of life and death at sea, have the courage to fight, and are more able to accept new things." ”
Chen Wenhui's heart moved, is this considered to open the wisdom of the people? Forget it, these things are big things that men think about, not what she thinks about as a little girl, in Wen Hui's heart, the most important thing is how to make money.
Chen Wenhui said: "After these maritime merchants buy the shipping routes, they will arrive almost as soon as we arrive, so they are equivalent to transporting a large amount of supplies for us, and with these materials, we can speed up the construction." Therefore, we also need to speed up, so that we city builders have not yet arrived. ”
Wan Shuhui smiled and said, "Such a situation naturally cannot occur. It's just that in the first trade, what do we have to sell? After all, we are building from scratch, right? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "You, you are really smart and confused for a while, after we arrived at the place, those rich tropical rainforests, how many fruits, how many trees, can't you make furniture?" Can't you sell logs? At worst, you can still sell those large pieces of ore that have been stored in the black stronghold for hundreds of years? Also, there are a lot of natives in the area, don't we do business, trade things with the natives, in exchange for what the natives have accumulated in their hands for hundreds or even thousands of years? These can be traded, but I'm afraid there is nothing to sell? ”
Wan Shuhui thought about it and couldn't help laughing.
Chen Wenhui said: "I don't want to compete with the people for profit, so let those people who have followed the past do these businesses, so that they can also earn the first pot of gold, and have the capital for development in the future." By the way, I heard that you will bring a lot of family children with you this time? This is a good opportunity for you to develop the new Wan family. ”
Wan Shuhui said: "Our Wanjia has declined before, and many of our children are fools, so I will leave them to fend for themselves." Let's continue to decline with the old Wanjia. Our bank recruits people, and I have selected many talents from 10,000 families to follow. These people are now developing very well, and most of them have become the treasurers of a place, with money and power in their hands. When these people saw this, they naturally leaned over to me. I chose some of them, okay, I'm going to take them to Nanyang this time, as a child of Xinwanjia, I don't care about the bad ones, let's let them continue to sink. I am not the one who saved them, back then, when they exchanged me for glory and wealth, I no longer owed anything to Wanjia, and now is not the time for me to save them. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded, a family, to exchange a woman's life for glory, such a family is no longer worth this woman's life for it.
Chen Wenhui looked at this topic a little dull and said, "By the way, how is your bank cleaned up?" Are we all settled, when can we leave, I want to go as far as possible, and it is best to arrive at Shin Kong City with the people on the big ship. ”
Wan Shuhui hurriedly gathered her thoughts and said, "It will probably be all cleaned up in three more days." We'll be able to go. ”
Chen Wenhui was very satisfied and said, "Your speed is still very fast. It's still easy for you people who have been with me for a long time, and if you can keep up with my pace, these novices still need to be trained more. We don't lack any silver at the moment, all we lack is talent. In the future, you should pay more attention to cultivation in this regard. Let me tell you a piece of news. In the future, not only will we build cities on Luzon Island, but Nanyang will also build cities near the mainland, and those people will also build cities in the south, and the Wa Kingdom may be subdued by my eldest brother, and Silla and Goguryeo may be taken over by the Chen people, so that our Nanyang Bank will extend its tentacles to these overseas lands. Therefore, there is a shortage of talents who stand alone. ”
Wan Shuhui was taken aback and said: "This plan is too grandiose, if it really comes true, this Nanyang Bank may even surpass Da Chu's bank income." I'm going to plan for this. It seems that it is no longer a dream for me to build a new Wanjia. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Of course. Sooner or later, our little Chen family will grow into a big family, a big family that is not weaker than the family, and will even surpass the Chen family. With the rise of our Xiao Chen family, you affiliated families will definitely be able to become a big family like those families in the clan land, and they can also be inherited for thousands of years. And you are the ancestor of such a family. What do you think? It's exciting to think about, right? ”
Wan Shuhui is not the concubine of the frog at the bottom of the well back then, she first opened a bank, and successively dealt with the dignitaries and nobles of Suzhou City, Shanghai City, and the capital, and later, she became the financial officer of Shanghai City, she is well-informed, and she understands the meaning of the Chen family's land, and also understands the meaning of the Chen family's affiliated families. Wan Shuhui's heart was aroused with pride. (To be continued)
