The black family has entered the capital. In fact, before, Chen Wenjun had sent a group of disciples of the Hei family to the capital and Jiangnan to study, but there has been no high-level arrival of the Hei family, this time it is different, this time there are the most disciples, there are two thousand, and the leader is Tang Guanghui, the owner of Jinmingpu.

Chen Cai took Tang Guanghui and them to live in the new house they bought, of course, this is to be paid by the Hei family themselves, that is, the house close to the imperial city in Chen Guifei's dowry, there are also four entrances, and there is also a big garden, although it is not as big as the house bought by Chen Yuanheng, but it is also a mansion. Tang Guanghui was very satisfied as soon as he entered this house, the carved beams and paintings were very gorgeous, and it was worth the price.

When Tang Guanghui freshened up, it was naturally Chen Yuanheng who entertained him first. The next day, Chen Wenhui took Qiu Bi and Lu Ya to Tang Guanghui's residence in a car, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

Tang Guanghui said: "Wen Hui's house is very good, the place is not big, but it is exquisite." And it's close to the imperial city, and my disciples are studying in the craftsman division, and it's also close to it. It's just that this silver is too much to spend, and such a small house actually costs 200,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and said, "Master Tang, don't compare the land of Yizhou Island to the land of the capital. Haven't you heard? It is not easy to live in the capital. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, rich merchant clans, and there are many rich people, but the place is small, and every inch of land is expensive, and it only costs 200,000 taels to have such a four-entry house in the inner city close to the imperial city, which is already very cheap. When you stay here for a while and get to know more people, you'll naturally understand that what I'm saying is true. ”

Tang Guanghui said: "I'm relieved about this, how did Wen Hui buy this house?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Our family's current house is being renovated, and right next to here, the house is bigger, about twice as big as this one, so it is more expensive, and it costs our family 500,000 taels of silver." This is still for the sake of the officials of the Ministry of Works, and my father is a colleague. If it were an ordinary rich businessman, he wouldn't be able to buy it for a million taels. Your house happened to be a coincidence, my eldest aunt, the private residence of the noble concubine in the palace. Ask me to sell it, I don't want to be cheap for others, so I'll buy it for you, if you let it out, I don't know how many people will buy it.

When Tang Guanghui heard that it was the concubine's private residence, he immediately felt that the 200,000 taels of silver was worth it.

Chen Wenhui said: "In addition to the expensive residences in the capital, there are also shops that are more expensive. There are a lot of people here, business is easy to do, and you can make money by selling anything. But you have to have a backer to sell anything. Our Hei family doesn't have to be afraid, we came to Minglu in front of the emperor. The emperor attaches great importance to it, and directly asked my father to arrange for you to do business and study. So, this is a backer, we are the hardest. Who in the world can be bigger than the emperor. ”

Tang Guanghui listened to it and said: "This feeling is good, we are about to buy a shop to do business, it is good to have a backer, we just want to make a big move." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "You don't have to worry about the shop, you use my aunt's shop, she has to sell it at this time, and we always buy it." Just about. It's just that the silver is expensive. When the eldest aunt bought this house and shop, it only cost 100,000 taels of silver, but after many years, the house has become bigger and repaired, so it will naturally be expensive. The shop is also very good, and the next few rooms are merged, so these four shops are four large shops, which are just right for us. I was thinking about where to find such a big shop, but I was really sleepy and came to the pillow. It's just that the price is much higher. I asked about the economy. These four shops are placed in the market, and they cost at least 400,000 taels of silver. I gave it to my aunt for the minimum of 400,000 taels of silver. According to the way we said to share, I will give a part of your black family. Let's do business together. ”

Tang Guanghui listened and said yes, and asked: "Wen Hui, you have a lot of ideas, but you have thought about it, what business do you want to do?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "One is your black family's own business, I don't interfere, you pay for this shop yourself." This is a specialty of your black family for sale. Let's call your real name, Jin Mingpu. Another one I want to be a high-end jewelry shop, we have a steady stream of gold and silver mines in Nanyang, as well as those gemstones, the cost is extremely cheap, and Heigetang's exquisite craftsmanship, we add my design drawings, we will definitely be able to make high-end jewelry. I already have the design of the shop, so I'll look back at it. We do this shop in partnership, I am six, you are four, because the drawings are mine, I also have a copy of the raw materials, as well as publicity, and the way of operation are all my ideas, and I am also the one to advertise in the circle of noblewomen. So I have six points. In this way, you will have to pay 40% of the cost of this shop and decoration. There is also a shop that makes some rare furniture, such as my shampoo bed, and those furniture designed by your black family. The raw materials are easy to use, just use those precious timbers produced in our Nanyang and Yizhou Island. You have more of this shop, you are six, and I am four. The last shop is for us to make a carriage shop. This is a specially made high-end carriage. The carriages were all the kind of comfortable, spring-loaded ones I had made before. This design is mine, and the people are yours, so let's divide it into fifty. What do you think? ”

After hearing this, Tang Guanghui said: "Wen Hui, your distribution is very reasonable, I don't have any opinion, but I still have to tell the black family." I'll repair the book for the caravan now, but we can start the decoration of the shop and the arrangement of the children first, even if we have a dispute, it may only be over the division. Therefore, it does not affect the shop business. It's better to start early and make money early. Now our black family's investment in the capital is very large, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, we must earn it back as soon as possible. ”

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "Master Tang, you are really interesting, can I still not know the family background of the Hei family?" This point of silver is distressed like this. However, what you said is very true, although I am not short of silver, it is a bit difficult to invest so much silver at once. Therefore, it is necessary to step up the project, open the business as soon as possible, and seize the time to make money. ”

Tang Guanghui laughed.

Chen Wenhui asked again: "Our whole family has read the letter and things from my brother and sister-in-law that you brought yesterday. It seems that my brother and sister-in-law are doing well in Shin Kong City. Tell me about the situation on Yizhou Island again. ”

Tang Guanghui said: "Now Yizhou Island is very good, a lot of people have moved from the Central Plains, about 10,000 people, and some rich merchants from the Central Plains have also brought domestic slaves to Yizhou Island to buy land, and now the island is planting crops." Basically, our land is half sold and half given away, so as to attract more people and wealthy businessmen to Yizhou Island. Because of their arrival, our business is better, the houses and shops in Black Iron City and Xinguang City are sold more, we also sell seeds, sell technology, and make a lot of money anyway. You Xinguang City earn more than our Black Iron City. Now your brother doesn't have to worry about using the money. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "My brother told us this in a letter. Moreover, this time I came with you and my brother gave the emperor a share of Xinguang City, and my father has already gone to hand it over to the emperor. The emperor is very happy and satisfied. It's just that my brother said that he doesn't have to worry about money now, but he still has few people, right? ”

Tang Guanghui said: "The construction of our Yizhou Island has begun, and the manpower is still enough for the time being, but we still lack manpower in Nanyang." Recently, some mineral deposits have been discovered in Nanyang, and Heigetang has already gone to explore, and the Black Knife Hall has surrounded and suppressed the natives around those mineral deposits. In order to ensure the safety of future mining. You know, a big battle costs money, this time the Black Knife Hall is acting with the guards of Xinguang City, which is not bad, so, our Hei family is equal to half of the money, and your Xinguang City is equal to half of the money. Fortunately, this money was not spent in vain, not only did he get such a good mineral deposit, but also captured about 2,000 natives. These natives just happened to open a mine for us. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "How about using these natives to open mines? They were born and raised, and it wouldn't be good if they caused any more trouble. Why don't you go back and repair books for my brother, you repair books for the Hei family, and transport these natives to Yizhou Island to farm, and we will still use the Japanese and Silla people for the mining people, how about the Goguryeo people? By the way, I heard that the imperial court recently has a group of captive barbarians who want to enter Beijing to offer prisoners, usually, after the sacrifice of prisoners, these captives have to be specially raised, or distributed to meritorious heroes, honors, etc., in fact, these meritorious heroes and nobles are not very willing to ask, because these captives do not know how to work, but can raise horses. But which house can use dozens of grooms. Therefore, the court also has a headache, why don't I talk to my father, let my father go and discuss with the emperor, how about selling these captives to your black family to open mines, they are all strong people. ”

Tang Guanghui was very happy and said: "This is good, we have also bought some barbarian people from some rich merchants before, they are really good at work, and they are strong, much stronger than those little Japanese and Silla people, and Goguryeo." It's wild and hard to train. There's no problem with this, anyone can tame it under the whip. Besides, once they do it, they will feel good. We've made a good life for the miners. There is food and drink, and the weather in Nanyang is warm, which is much better than the cold in the north. If they do a good job, we will also give them marriage, start a family, give them a small house, a small yard, and children can also study, and if they have good qualifications in the future, they can also enter our black family and become children of the black family. So, now those miners are doing a good job, and basically there is no trouble. Some of the first batch of Japanese people who didn't want to go home anymore even wrote letters asking the caravan to take all the children in the family to live in Nanyang. There was no war in Nanyang, the weather was warm, there were jobs, wages, food, housing, and there were no nobles oppressing them, and they all said that it was much better than their hometown. ”

Chen Wenhui was dumbfounded.
