Chapter 70 Follow the Investment

Qiu Bi hurriedly asked, "What is the growth point?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Haven't you thought about it? Our Acropolis just spends money, can't it make money? Isn't the land around the Acropolis for sale? Isn't the house in the Acropolis for sale? Don't the workshops of the Acropolis pay taxes? By the end of next year, the Acropolis will be almost built, isn't that a growth point? The only place to burn money is to build roads. This should still be supported, first, this is a long-term job, and you don't have to take out all the money at once. Second, this is not a matter for me in one city, but is shared by four cities. ”

Qiu Bi suddenly realized and said: "Really, how can I forget this, our Acropolis can also make money." So that we can support the construction of the acropolis and the construction of roads at the same time. It's just that the city owner has made a lot of money, and I estimated that you will have to come up with at least 500,000 taels of silver to turn around. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Anyway, that's the money needed next year, and it will take half a year until next year." No problem at all. You go back and discuss it first, and then come back and give me a detailed report. Everyone has to write. ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

Chen Wenhui waited for everyone to leave, and asked Yujin, "How much money do I have now?" ”

Yujin took out the account book and calculated it and said: "We haven't made money in Qingchun City yet, but we still have Baojingfang, the bank's income, and what we have spent in the past few years is nothing more than to prepare some gifts for those people in the capital, and there are also expenses in our house." So, I did the math, and we probably have more than 600,000 taels of silver to use. ”

Chen Wenhui was taken aback and asked, "Why are there so many?" ”

Yujin said: "This is the sum of our income in the past two years, not a year's income. In fact, if the income of our Shanghai City is still there, it will be called more than one. That's right. In this, the income of Baojingfang is still the same as in previous years, but the bank's income has increased greatly. Now our bank is divided into two sides, on the one hand, it is the bank of Da Chu, and on the other hand, it is our Nanyang Bank. Among them, the banking business of Da Chu is steadily increasing year by year. And that's not all. Our business at Nanyang Bank has grown exponentially. So we only have more than 600,000 taels of silver left in our hands. It's really because we are too generous to buy gifts, and the girl has invested too much in buying weapons and armor for General Zhao. Or maybe there's more silver left. ”

Chen Wenhui blushed a little, this is the truth. For two years. Zhao Chongyi and her have always maintained correspondence. Chen Wenhui often tells Zhao Chongyi about what he has seen and heard in Nanyang, and Zhao Chongyi often tells Chen Wenhui about some northwest customs. In this way, Chen Wenhui knew that for Zhao Chongyi, who was on the battlefield in the northwest. Medicine, doctor. The best weapons and armor should be as much as possible.

Chen Wenhui guards the black family, a powerful group in science and technology, and has countless resources in his hands, so naturally he often sends Zhao Chongyi those good pills made by the black family with letters. And some of the finest, even the finest armor.

In fact, Chen Wenhui is still very worried about Zhao Chongyi. After all, the sword has no eyes, and he is on the battlefield. It's still a very dangerous thing. The only thing Chen Wenhui can rest assured about now is that last year, the Hei family finally made the national treasure-level inner armor made for Zhao Chongyi, and it was safely delivered to Zhao Chongyi. Zhao Chongyi told her that he had put it on. However, he also hopes to get one for his eldest brother and father. Chen Wenhui had no choice but to continue to pay for the black family to make it, so the cost was naturally large.

However, Chen Wenhui pursues that making money is for spending money, so she is not distressed at all. Anyway, I bought the top goods.

In addition to these inner armor and weapons, Chen Wenhui buys all kinds of jewelry the most. Because their own workshop is very good, they are in the South Seas, and they can often get some top gems, as well as top pearls. In addition, gold and copper mines have also been discovered in Luzon, which have been encircled by Chen Wenhui into his own territory. Therefore, Chen Wenhui still has a lot of materials at hand. Naturally, some jewelry with novel styles and exquisite materials was created. Many of her stayed, and there were many more, to give to relatives and friends in the capital. The most of them are Mother Bai, Queen, Mingzhu, Shi Guifei and others.

Chen Wenhui heard Yujin's words at this moment: "Don't care how much money I spend. Anyway, I have enough money now to build the Acropolis next year. Didn't you hear Qiu Bi say, we just have a gap of 500,000 taels? Of course, this is her rough estimate. But the difference won't be too big, we now have 600,000 taels, which is enough to cope. ”

Yujin asked: "Then what should we do if we spend our own money?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "We don't have to save money at all, you forgot about it, wait until next year, our banks, mines, and black family's industries, and the income of Baojingfang will be handed over for another year, and my expenses will be reduced?" ”

Yujin thought about it too, and laughed. It seems that the girl's luxurious life can go on forever.

Because of Chen Wenhui's explanation, the officials of the entire City Lord's Mansion were busy. Gui Yuxia was also busy until late before returning home. Speaking of which, her children are not yet a year old, and she could have stayed at home and not come out to work. Because Chen Wenhui stipulates to his subordinates that women have maternity leave and breastfeeding leave, they can give birth to children with peace of mind, take care of children, and pay their salaries. However, both Gui Yuxia and Da Niu felt that they were deeply favored by Chen Wenhui and could not repay it, so as soon as Gui Yuxia's body was good, they began to go to the City Lord's Mansion to work as usual.

Now Gui Yuxia's family is very rich, there is a big village with 5,000 acres of land outside the city, and there is a big shop in the city, specializing in the fragrant flower industry. Now we have established a lot of cooperative relations with the merchants of Dachu, not only can all the fragrant flowers produced in their own fields be sold, but also buy a lot of fragrant flowers in Qingchun City and even the other three cities to process and operate. Therefore, their family also made a big fragrant flower workshop this year. Specializing in the processing of fragrant flowers.

After having money, Da Niu gave the house that the family bought at the beginning to his only sister's family. I went to buy a well-built high-end house in the high-end residence next to the city lord's mansion. There are gardens, rockeries, small bridges and flowing water, covering an area of seven or eight acres, of course, and the city lord's mansion covering an area of fifty acres cannot be compared, but it is also a mansion. Because the office is very close to home, Gui Yuxia did not delay breastfeeding her child at all. At present, the child can already eat complementary food, and the number of breastfeeding is much less, and Gui Yuxia can concentrate more on the office.

Today, because I was busy, I went home very late, and in the evening, the baby was already hungry and wanted to drink milk, so I was taken by the nurse and went to the city lord's mansion, Gui Yuxia's office yamen, and let Gui Yuxia feed it once. Therefore, Gui Yuxia doesn't feel how her tits are rising now, but she still misses her baby very much.

When I got home, I didn't care about changing my clothes, so I quickly called the wet nurse, and after getting close to my baby, I fed it again. The child slept sweetly.

Gui Yuxia just came to freshen up. Just freshened up, and the big cow came back. Gui Yuxia asked, "Why did you come back so late today?" ”

Da Niu said: "It is summer, and there are many fragrant flowers, so I came out of the shop, went to the workshop to have a look, and then had dinner with several shopkeepers of the workshop. ”

Gui Yuxia said: "Then you weren't drunk? ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "We are all our own people, why do we drink so much wine?" Just make sense. I'm still thinking about our son, where can I get drunk? ”

Gui Yuxia sneered, Da Niu has been in a state of excitement since Gui Yuxia was pregnant, and later after the child was born, she was even more happy, and she couldn't see enough every day.

Gui Yuxia said: "I came back late today. Fortunately, our son was very obedient and didn't make any trouble at all. ”

Da Niu hurriedly asked: "Is there a lot of things in the yamen today?" Why are you coming back late? ”

Gui Yuxia said about the construction of the Acropolis, and after finishing speaking, she said: "The day after tomorrow, the announcement inside our yamen will be posted." When the time comes, the three acropolises will be built together. So, all of a sudden, there was more work, and it was naturally late to come back. Look, I'll be back late for the next few days, and I'll have to be busy for a while. ”

Da Niu's heart moved, and he didn't say a word, and walked back and forth in the house.

Gui Yuxia asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Da Niu stopped and said, "I'm calculating how much money I have left to use. I want to follow the county lord to develop the Acropolis. The fragrant flower business we have now is getting better and better, but our fragrant flower supply is not enough. If the county lord can develop the Acropolis, I will think of hiring people to reclaim the wasteland in the Acropolis, and then get a few big villages and plant fragrant flowers, so that we can solve the problem of our supply of fragrant flowers. ”

Gui Yuxia thought about it and said: "I don't understand business matters, but I think that if I follow the county chief, I shouldn't lose money." If you have enough money, buy land. If it's really not enough, it doesn't matter, our reputation is so good, there is no problem with bank loans. I think that the maximum amount we have now should be able to lend about 10,000 taels of silver. With our money, it should be enough. Now the key question is, do you have enough people on hand? With so much land, we have no way to plant it ourselves, so we can only buy more Japanese slaves, or Silla slaves. ”

Da Niu smiled and said: "Because there is a war in the north, there are many Japanese slaves and Silla slaves in the market now, and these people are good at growing crops." I'll just buy more when the time comes. The key is to manage the treasurer of the Japanese slaves, or to pay attention to it, and choose some loyal ones. ”

Gui Yuxia nodded. (To be continued)
