In the capital, the Bai family was listening to the report of the stewards in the main house of Xiao Chen's house, and dealt with the affairs of the family. After dealing with it, she also had to ask for instructions on various property matters in the family, and she finished it neatly.

Xiao Chen's family has a lot of things going on now, and it is really a big business. However, there are mainly several aspects, one is the affairs of Yizhou Island and the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and that is handed over to the boss Chen Wenjun and his wife to take care of, without the Bai family's worry, in the past, they had to invest money in it every year, but now they don't need to, Yizhou Island has been making money. The emperor also gave all the equity of Xinguang City to the Xiao Chen family, and made it clear that Yizhou Island and the Wa Kingdom were the territories of the Xiao Chen family. There is no need to pay taxes for ten years, but after ten years, the imperial court will have to pay tribute every year, which is different from the land of each family.

Originally, Yizhou Island made money and could pay part of the money to the Bai family, but the Japanese country was newly defeated, and it cost money everywhere, so the Bai family told the eldest son and his family that the family didn't need them to send money, and the family was no longer supporting their money. They used the money from Yizhou Island to subsidize the Wa Kingdom.

Nanyang's affairs are handled by Chen Wenlin and his wife. Those four cities were also made clear by the emperor as the territory of Xiao Chen's family, and they did not pay taxes for ten years, and they had to pay tribute after ten years.

The city of Nanyang is still under construction, and it still requires Xiao Chen's family to invest a lot of money every year. Bai invests 2 million taels of silver in the city of Nanyang every year.

Every time he talked about this, Bai couldn't help but think, in fact, Mei Ying was also capable. The four cities in Nanyang are well managed, and it doesn't cost much. But. It also depends on who you compare with, and it's still good to compare with the boss. However, compared with her daughter Chen Wenhui, it is far behind. Chen Wenhui is also in four cities, but Chen Wenhui has never spent a penny of his family's money.

In addition to these overseas affairs, the Bai family doesn't have to take care of it, just take the money. The affairs of the Xiao Chen family in the territory of Dachu are still managed by the Bai family. Still, these things. The Bai family is in charge of several of her right-hand men. For example, everything in Cuijin Building is managed by Feiguang and his wife.

Cuijin Lou now has branches everywhere in Dachu. More than a dozen workshops have already opened. The business is very large, and it can bring five or six hundred thousand taels of silver to the family every year. Qinghelou's business is managed by Yinhong and his wife, and Qinghelou also has branches in various places in Dachu, and also has branches in Nanyang and other places. The income is more than that of Cuijin Building. Every year, millions of taels of silver are earned.

There is also the perfume managed by the Qingshuang couple. Cosmetics business. This one is already in Gangnam. Yizhou Island and Nanyang have built several large workshops, and the annual income is very rich. and also an income of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.

There is also a soju business managed by the Qingjian couple. He has opened four large wineries in Nanyang, Yizhou Island, and Dachu Jiangnan, and has an annual income of seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

In addition to these, Xiao Chen's family has countless shops all over Nanyang, Yizhou Island, Shanghai City, Beijing, and Suzhou City. Originally, Xiao Chen's family still had a large number of fields and shops, which were widely distributed. Later, because the family's power expanded too quickly, Xiao Chen's family wanted to invest the silver in overseas territories, so they sold all the family's property. All the money he received was invested overseas.

Now, overseas has basically stabilized, there are not many places that need money, and the family has a surplus of money, so it is natural to invest in some industries. The Bai family didn't want to invest in the fields anymore, it was too difficult to manage, so they simply bought a large number of shops in these places, and they didn't do business anymore, so they just collected the shop rent. Rao is so, these shop rents are enough for the annual expenses of the house. Now these properties are managed by Ziyu and his wife. They were the husband and wife who were best at managing the manor and the fields.

Later, Xiao Chen's family's fields were sold out, and the shops were purchased, and the couple continued to manage the shops in various places, which was also very hard. It can also have a surplus of about 100,000 taels of silver every year. In addition to these shops, the Baek family also purchased a lot of land properties in the Gyeonggi area, including three. There are 6,000 acres of land close to the capital, and the two Zhuangzi farther away from the capital each have more than 20,000 acres of land. Every year, the output of these fields can also be in the amount of ten thousand taels of silver. These are all small amounts of money, which are only used for the Bai family to participate in banquets for a year.

In addition to these, Ziyu is also responsible for taking care of Xiao Chen's family's large down jacket processing factory in Jiangnan, and there is also a down processing workshop in the capital. This project had not yet been popularized among the people before, and all the production was ordered by the Chen family and the Great Chu army. The warm down gives Xiao Chen's family a hundred thousand taels of silver every year.

Another is the cotton industry that has been running with the Lan family. This industry is now very profitable. Cotton products have been popularized in all parts of Dachu. Such as quilts. Nowadays, the people's clothing is not mainly based on hemp and arrowroot, but also began to be based on cotton cloth.

So this industry is still very profitable. Every year, it can bring millions of taels of silver to Xiao Chen's family.

If these things are taken care of by the Bai family, then the Bai family will not be able to take care of it if they are tired, but fortunately, Ziyu and they will take care of it. The Bai family is not stingy, and they set a few of them for Ziyu, and the industries they manage will give 10% of the dividends every year. In this way, Ziyu and the others also have tens of thousands to 100,000 taels of silver every year. Each is rich. Bai and Chen Wenhui are of the same opinion, even if they like the people around them, they are also wealthy. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all.

In this way, in addition to the two million taels of silver invested in Nanyang every year, there is still a lot left over from these properties of the family.

Actually, that's not all, because another income has recently been added. This is the soybean oil business led by Chen Wenhui and let Lan Caiyu operate the cooperation with Xiao Chen's family. In the past, this soybean oil business did not bring wealth to Xiao Chen's family. Later, the cooperative Wang family didn't take this matter to heart, the soybean oil business plummeted, and the Xiao Chen family didn't get any money.

However, Xiao Chen's family has a big business and doesn't care about this money. However, since this business was handed over to Lan Caiyu, the first year was not very good, and in the second year, he began to give money to Xiao Chen's family every year. First it was about 100,000 taels a year, and then it was about 200,000 taels. Bai Shi looked at this month's account book and thought to himself, how can he get 400,000 taels of silver in his account this year. In the future, this may still be a big head. I didn't expect Lan Caiyu's ability to be so great.

However, this is also the reason why Xiao Chen's family has been taking care of it. Now that Xiao Chen's family is really powerful in Dachu, which local official dares not to give face, and there is no problem in taking care of his family's property.

Bai Shi looked at the account book and silently calculated that his family relied on these industries this year, and in addition to the huge expenses of the family, there should be nearly two million taels of silver left. These are enough to buy some shops in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Beijing. In fact, you can consider buying some shops in the northwest as well. The northwest is run by her daughter and son-in-law, and it is developing rapidly, so you can discuss this matter with Ziyu and his wife.

Bai thought as he looked at the ledger. In fact, this ledger only records the money earned in the industry. Chen Yuanheng is now powerful, and he gets more income every year. The annual filial piety of each loyal affiliated family and affiliated officials is a large number. However, the Bai family did not use this money, because this money still had to support some special people under Chen Yuanheng.

These people have meticulous works that have been bought in various places, and there are also personnel from the dark department who specialize in spying on Chen Yuanheng's intelligence. There are also a large number of guards, the dead soldiers raised by Zhuangzi, and Chen Yuanheng still has a bunch of various talents and staff.

These people spend a lot of money, but the money Chen Yuanheng collected alone is enough. Although the Bai family doesn't use this money, they also have to help manage it, so it is also a huge job.

Fortunately, there are people in charge of the industry, and Bai is just looking at the account books every month. It's just that she manages the expenses in the house, the entertainment between relatives and friends, the courtesy and the like, as well as Chen Yuanheng's mess, and the Bai family can still deal with it, because she still has a pair of capable people in her hands, that is, Chen Cai and his wife.

So Bai Shi happily dealt with things and was idle.

Originally, a few years ago, after the Bai family dealt with these things, they were still busy managing Yangshantang, the hospital, and the affairs of the Empress Dowager in the palace. Now, Yangshantang and the hospital are all managed by Mingzhu, the Queen Mother went to Nanyang, and the Bai family is idle.

After his leisure, Bai drank the tea brought by the red carp. The red carp is now called Red Mama. It was supposed to be called Mama Li. However, there are many people who call Mama Li in the house, so the red carp is called Mama Hong. She has already married someone in the Bai family. The four eldest maidens of the Bai family are all married. Now he is promoted from the second class. It's also very good.

However, the original four big girls all stayed in the mansion, married the steward, and continued to help the Bai family manage the affairs of the mansion.

Mama Hong saw that the Bai family was idle and there was no one around, so she whispered, "The people in the house over there have replied." ”

Bai Shicai's face turned cold, and she was very angry at the mention of the people in the house over there. Back then, when their husband and wife were still weak, in that big mansion, she was not less angry.

Later, their husband and wife became powerful, and the house over there was also good for their husband and wife. Later, the couple moved out and set up their own doors, and they were more polite to them. Nowadays, every year when the Bai family celebrates the New Year's holiday, the husband and wife go for a while, and they don't go to the door when they are free. However, every year, he gave 100,000 taels of silver to the mansion, which was considered to be filial piety to his parents.

However, this cannot be done without incident. The annoying second lady, Mrs. Li, still didn't stop, and some time ago, she actually stretched out her hand to her daughter Chen Wenhui's maid.

This really makes the Bai family hate it when they think about it. (To be continued......)
