Shui Hong smiled and said, "County Lord, you just listen to Shui Lian scare you." Where are we poor? ”

Chen Wenhui looked at Shui Hong in confusion.

Shui Hong said: "Don't we still have seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver? Even if the county lord gave those things away, some of them were for us to keep. However, I looked at the list, and there were two-thirds of the things to sell. These things are generally doubled as soon as they are transported to Jiangnan. This is still ordinary goods from southern Xinjiang, and this time we have shipped the best goods from southern Xinjiang. Doubling is all about earning less. Therefore, as long as it is sold, it is not good to take back 800,000 taels of silver, and it is normal to recover 1 million taels of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, and said: "Okay, you are a water lotus, you have also learned badly, and you dare to ridicule me." See how I clean you up. ”

As he spoke, he went to tickle the water lotus.

Shuilian hurriedly laughed and hidden.

Shui Hong said: "County Lord, what else, in addition to the money that these goods can be sold, didn't Shui Liu say it just now?" Businesses everywhere are going to give dividends at the end of the year, and that's a big number. Is the county lord still afraid that there won't be enough money to spend? ”

Saying this, Chen Wenhui became even more energetic and said: "Okay, you water lotus, I must catch you today, see if you dare." ”

Water lotus is busy begging for mercy.

The rest of them were watching and laughing. In private, Chen Wenhui doesn't have a master at all, she treats them like sisters, and she is used to joking with them.

A few people played for a while, and Chen Wenhui also became energetic. With Shui Hong, Shui Lian and the others went to the warehouse to look at the goods. I also looked at the accounts on the Zhuangzi and pointed out some deficiencies. Although this Zhuangzi belongs to Xiao Chen's family, Chen Wenhui has also been married. But the steward of Zhuangzi knows that the masters of the Xiao Chen family still regard this married Chen Wenhui as the treasure in their hands, and what she says still works. So, listen attentively and promise to make corrections.

After a busy day, Zhao Chongyi came back and brought back a good news for her.

Zhao Chongyi said: "In two days." Your good sister Pearl is coming to Jiangnan. So. You are here for the New Year, and you will not be lonely. ”

Chen Wenhui was overjoyed when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help asking: "How is it possible, she is at this time." It should be in the capital. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. How many things? Also, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. Brother Liu should be the busiest time, and Sister Mingzhu also has to go to the palace every day, and now I heard that the queen relies on her very much. She also takes care of housework, as well as the affairs of the hospital, the pharmacy, and the tea farm at home, all of which are settled during the Chinese New Year. By the way, every time the Chinese New Year arrives, she has to worry about the gifts of each family, and she also has to do the worship of her ancestors, so she can really be busy without touching the ground, where can she still come to Jiangnan? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "That's right. She's really coming. As you said, originally, this time was her busiest time, and she didn't have time to come to Jiangnan at all. But when the new emperor ascends the throne, you always know about amnesty to the world, right? ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "I know this? What does this have to do with her, ah, no, I remember. It won't be an amnesty for the world and an amnesty for her father, right? ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded with a smile and said: "Back then, Master Xu's crime was not big, but it was just greed for ink, and the amount of greed for ink was not large, after all, it was just a county order, and it didn't last long." I've been in prison for so many years. This time there is an amnesty for the world, and he is naturally within the scope of the amnesty. Now, the person has been picked up by Mingzhu, as if he has settled in Mingzhu's Zhuangzi for marriage. It's on the edge of Qingyang City. Although the person took it out, however, his son was dead, and only his three daughters were left, and those two were said to be unreliable, and Mingzhu hoped that his father was eager to come and see him in person, so Jing Yuan arranged for her to come back, and then go back with us after the New Year. He also brought his two children with him, saying that he was showing his grandfather. ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly realized and said, "You must have received Brother Liu's letter." By the way, you just said that Master Xu has been taken out and sent to Sister Mingzhu's wedding Zhuangzi, which is the Zhuangzi next door to us. We live in this Zhuangzi, one is Aunt Hu's Zhuangzi, and the other is Mingzhu's sister's Zhuangzi, I have already told Aunt Hu's Zhuangzi to borrow Aunt Hu's Zhuangzi to live for a few days. Sister Mingzhu's Zhuangzi should be living in Master Xu now. We live so close, do you want to check it out? ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it and said: "It is okay if we don't go to visit, after all, he was the enemy of his father-in-law at the beginning, and he was arrested before he failed to frame his father-in-law." However, at that time, there was a reason for each to be his master, but in fact, there was no deep hatred for himself. Now, he has also been punished, and he knows that he has repented, and I heard that in the past few years in prison, in fact, Mingzhu asked his father-in-law to tell the officials in Jiangnan to take care of Master Xu. Master Xu did not suffer at all, but was able to calm down and read, I heard that he is now a great Confucian, and he also wrote a book, which seems to be a collection of notes, and is famous in Shilin. ”

"Now that our relationship with Mingzhu and his wife is so good, we should go and see it. Anyway, it's close. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What you say makes sense, so let's do it." We'll have something ready tomorrow and we'll go and visit. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded.

Chen Wenhui asked: "You went out to Qingyang City so early in the morning and came back late in the evening, are you too tired, or we should find an inn in Qingyang City to stay." ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "No, from tomorrow, I don't have to go to Qingyang City, everything has been arranged, they have all scattered their manpower, and any situation will be summarized here with me." So, I'm starting here. I'll just use the big study in the outer courtyard. You may also be busy, so you can do it in this study in the inner courtyard. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, I'll let them clean it up." ”

In the next few days, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi were really busy. Zhao Chongyi was in the study, dealing with the news from everywhere, making plans, and sending letters to the capital. Chen Wenhui met with shopkeepers everywhere on the Zhuangzi to receive this year's dividends.

Speaking of which, Chen Wenhui still gained a lot this year. The income of Baojingfang is still so much, about 300,000 taels of silver. There are also many pharmaceutical shops, almost 100,000 taels of silver, but Chen Wenhui didn't ask for this money, just looked at the account, this money, as it was said at the beginning, was given to Mingzhu to take it together in the capital and put it in the Yangshan Hall and do good deeds in the hospital.

Dachu Bank, Nanyang Bank has the most income, and in the past, Qingchun City had to be subsidized. However, this year, there is no need for it, Qingchun City is already self-sufficient, and the remaining three cities, the two newly built ones are all raised by the people. Suzaku City is subsidized by Qingchun City a little, plus a subsidy by Nanyang Bank, it is enough.

In this way, Chen Wenhui was finally able to use the income of these two banks, but Wan Shuhui sent a steward to say that more than half of these dividends should be taken to Dachu and Nanyang, and branches were established everywhere in southern Xinjiang. Because Dachu Bank annexed Wangjia Bank, which cost a lot of money, and it was necessary to build a bank in southern Xinjiang, so this dividend could not be shared. can only give Chen Wenhui 200,000 taels of silver for the New Year.

Chen Wenhui really couldn't cry or laugh, and said to Shuilian: "This Wan Shuhui is asking for food, right?" And he gave 200,000 taels of silver? ”

Shui Lian smiled and said, "There is no way for the ten thousand deputy city lords, when the bank is expanding now, there is no need to spend money." The county owner thought that the bigger the expansion, the better, so that there would be a lot of money to use next year. ”

Chen Wenhui sighed and said, "Hey, I always say that." People say that I am the richest person in Dachu, but you see, my four cities are still just constantly investing, and there is no income yet. As for the pharmacy, they are all doing good deeds. All that is left is the bank and the treasure mirror shop. Fortunately, Baojingfang's income is stable. Banks are also going to expand. If I had only one bank, I would have to drink the northwest wind. ”

Shuilian smiled and said, "It's hard to live up to your fame. “

Chen Wenhui is angry.

Shui Hong said: "Don't worry, county lord, fortunately, we went to southern Xinjiang this year and made a profit, although we have just started selling for a few days, however, Yan Da is very capable, and he is familiar with the face, and the big merchants he introduced are all big merchants in Jiangnan, and we should be able to sell our goods in less than a month." Because the sales are urgent, they are all wholesale, and we are impatient to sell a little bit, so we don't make much money, but we still have a million taels of silver. ”

When Chen Wenhui heard this, he almost said: "Leave 200,000 taels of silver and either don't store them in the bank, or buy the specialties of Shangjiangnan, and prepare to sell them in the capital." This is a separate account. This is the dowry I promised to give to Langxue 100,000 taels of silver, and Chongyi said that the 100,000 taels he won from gambling would be given to Langxue as a dowry, which is a total of 200,000 taels of silver. The rest, plus part of our New Year's expenses, rewards, and monthly payments, have been done, see how much is left, I want to keep it back to the capital. ”

Shui Liu said: "It's better to do this, we have to exchange the 200,000 taels of silver we gave to the Snow Maiden for goods anyway, so it is better to exchange the rest of our money for goods, so that we can make a fortune when we get to the capital." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The road from Jiangnan to the capital is full of merchants, and it is difficult to sell goods without a doorway." The goods I gave to Langxue for the 200,000 taels of silver were because Rongxue had her own shop, which she could hand over to her and let her sell it by herself, firstly, to make a little money, and secondly, to let her learn to do business. However, our number may be larger, and we don't have the time and energy to earn a tenth of it, which is only how much money, not enough money to press the goods. ”

Shui Liu understood now and dispelled the idea, but said with a smile: "Hey, why did I say why buy all the goods for the Snow Girl's money, it turned out to be to let the Snow Girl practice, that is, the county lord is so generous, he will take 200,000 taels of silver to the girl to practice." ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and laughed. (To be continued......)
