Bai was still very angry, called his master Chen Yuanheng back, and told him about the matter, Chen Yuanheng heard that his wife and daughter were humiliated, and couldn't help but go out, found Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan, and talked about it. Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan never thought that the princess would be like this. Hurriedly apologized to Chen Yuanheng, appeased Chen Yuanheng's anger, and sent Chen Yuanheng away, so he hurried to the princess's main room to ask what was going on, but when he heard the words of the two maids outside the door, he understood where the root of the matter was? Liu Yan couldn't help but rush in angrily, and there was the above thing.

None of these Bai and Wen Hui knew. Their mother and daughter were angry for a while, and they didn't think about the impact of this incident on Chen Wenfeng, and they couldn't imagine that this incident even affected the national fortunes of the Great Chu Dynasty later.

Wen Hui said to her mother, "Don't pay attention to this stupid person, it's just an ignorant woman." ”

Bai said: "Hey, for so many years, I have forgotten the grievances I have suffered in my family, and I have forgotten how much I have been wronged as a concubine and as a concubine's wife." In all fairness, Chen Wenfeng's current amiable treatment of our mother and daughter is already considered a broken handover. It's just that I haven't been wronged for many years, and now I can't accept it all at once. ”

Wen Hui smiled: "Whatever, if you don't want to be wronged, you won't accept it, our mansion, who dares to give us grievances, I really don't know what to call a woman, when I was in Shanghai, I was Princess Lichuan, the most noble princess of our Dachu, the emperor's beloved daughter, she has never put on a shelf in front of me like this, what is she?" Forget it, don't let her spoil our good mood. I have something to talk to my mother. ”

As soon as Bai heard that his daughter was going to talk to him about something, he immediately threw his previous unhappiness out of the clouds and said, "What is it?" ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "Mother, you must have settled the bill at the end of the year, right?" We've made a good year this year, right? I wonder how much money the family will be able to come up with next year? ”

As soon as Bai heard it, he knew that his daughter had a plan to make money again, so he asked the red carp next to him to take out the account book, and then handed the account book to Wen Hui and said: "This year, our land has not suffered any losses, but the business has expanded, and now Cuijin Building has opened twenty-six branches, and Qinghe Building has also opened twenty-six branches." This alone has five or six hundred thousand taels of silver coming in every year. Some of these branches make more money, such as Beijing, Suzhou City, Qingyang City and other places make more money, and a store in Beijing can earn 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver a year. But there are also some branches that don't make much money. For example, in a county like Sheung Shui City, it is three to five thousand taels of silver a year, but it is still a lot overall. Except for these two businesses. We also have a big income from the winery. In addition to supplying our own restaurants, we also sell a lot, but the most profitable are those aged for more than three years, and the profits can be more than tripled, and this winery brings 400,000 taels of silver a year. In addition to these, there is also our capital city, Anseong. The shops in Deqing and other places, the land production, these are probably enough for the daily expenses of our house. So, I didn't count. Another good output is the perfume shop, which also earns more than 50,000 taels of silver a year. I think next year we will have three perfume shops built at the same time. I'm sure I'll be able to earn more silver. ”

Wen Hui silently calculated in her heart and said, "In this way, we can balance nearly one million taels of silver a year." ”

Bai smiled and said, "What's more, we still have a share of the cotton business, a share of the soybean oil business, and a share of the bank business." Even Mingzhu's medicine shop has been divided. These add up to more than a million taels. Therefore, this year, there is a surplus of more than 2,480,000 taels of silver. ”

This number made Wen Hui a little dizzy. "However, we also spend a lot of money. First bought land in Heyang Prefecture, then bought a shop in Suzhou City, and we also bought a lot of things in Huzhou, but Huzhou bought mostly antique calligraphy and paintings, jade ornaments and other things, and the three states together also spent more than 700,000 taels, which is also for your eldest brother to marry, marrying a daughter-in-law, it is expected to cost 100,000 taels, and give your brothers and sisters 200,000 taels, so it will go to more than 1 million. Also, I recently listened to your words again, and it cost two or three hundred thousand taels to buy a shop in Shanghai, not to mention that the family needs to be maintained, and your father took 500,000 taels. These are only this year's expenses, and next year's 500,000 taels must be taken out in advance for backup. In this way, there are less than 200,000 taels of silver left in the family. ”

Wen Hui was a little surprised, she originally thought that more than two million taels of silver was an astronomical amount, but she didn't expect that her mother would spend it three times and divide five by two. But think about it, I have endured more than a million taels of silver. And the money in the family is all spent, and those lands and shops are appreciating in value, creating wealth. However, the biggest expense is the guard, which is a million taels of silver. No wonder people say that raising an army is the most expensive thing.

But if you calculate it again, your 100 degrees of guards can't cost 100,000 taels of silver a year, why is there so much for my mother? Forget it, it is estimated that my father has other plans, and Wen Hui is not interested in these things.

Wen Hui said: "Mother, I asked this to tell you about the shops in Shanghai City. According to my estimates, Shanghai City will be the richest place in Dachu in the future, and its shops will definitely exceed the value of the capital, so we had better buy more now. For example, when we bought the first phase of the shop, it was more than 60,000 units, and now some businessmen have come to me to buy them at a high price, and the most has been sold to 90,000 units. However, this is also because the second phase is already 80,000, and the third phase is 100,000. Therefore, it also drove the housing price of the first phase. Moreover, the wealthy merchants have not yet bought a house. Now half of the first, second, and third phases are all for people with connections, and some nobles have bought them, and it is not the turn of ordinary businessmen. But in the future, Shanghai City will launch four phases, five phases and so on. I thought it would be better to invest more money there if my family had spare money. ”

Bai's mind spun quickly: "Hui'er, in fact, if you don't tell me about this, I want to talk to you." You must know that the high price of shops in Shanghai City has been discussed in Qingyang City. The Lan family, the Wan family, the Wang family, bought the shop with the light of our family, this is the envy of those merchants, their wives have come to me to find relationships, woo, flattery, gifts, I hope I can talk to your three brothers and sisters, to help buy there. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said: "It seems that the power in our hands is good, our brothers and sisters are cattle and horses in Shanghai, but I didn't expect to have the benefit of opening the back door." Mother, don't worry, just accept the gifts of those who you like, and then give a letter to the second brother, the second brother will definitely be able to let them buy a shop, I can't wait for everyone from all over the world to come to Shanghai to buy a house and a shop. In this way, the one million taels of silver I invested can quickly recover the cost. ”

Bai said: "Since you can let people buy shops, of course you can let our own families buy shops, and our family will also invest in the third phase to buy some next year." I'll do the math and see how much money I can draw out next year, but it's a big deal to find a bank to borrow first, anyway, by the end of next year, the silver everywhere will be collected, and then I will pay it back. ”

Wen Hui thought to herself, her mother has been nurtured by herself for so many years, and finally made some progress and knows how to borrow money from the bank. It's really not bold enough to think about lending next year's income, and not thinking about advancing further. You must know that in the previous life, everyone's consumption was advanced thirty years later. The loan to buy a house is paid off in 30 years.

Bai Shi continued: "How did you get along with Meizhen this time?" The treasure mirror workshop you opened is in the limelight in Qingyang City. I'm not wrong, this Mi-jin is really capable. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "Mother didn't ask how you got along with me, right?" Instead, I asked how I was getting along with my eldest brother, right? ”

Bai laughed: "I can't hide anything from you, a ghost spirit." ”

Wen Hui said: "The eldest brother is getting along very well with Sister Meizhen now, Sister Meizhen is a real person, and she has already used the dowry of 50,000 silver given to her by our family and some of her private money, as well as the money earned by Baojingfang in the past few months to buy a second-phase shop." At that time, it was not enough money, so the eldest brother didn't say a word, so he put it on the mat. The marriage has not yet been consummated, and there is already a joint property. ”

Bai Shi smiled when he heard this, and his previous unhappiness had already been thrown into the Jawa Country.

Wen Hui said: "Then my mother still prepares some money, and I will bring it back to Shanghai after the Chinese New Year to buy some more shops for my family." By the way, when is my mother going to let my eldest brother get married? When the eldest brother goes back after the New Year, he will sail to Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom. ”

Bai Shi immediately felt a little uneasy and said, "Is it dangerous to go to sea here?" When Meizhen came back, she said that your eldest brother went to sea, and I was scared. ”

Wen Hui said: "There is danger in going to sea, but our ship is very good, and they are all very close to sailing, and there is nothing to do." ”

Bai sighed and said, "Hey, what if it's dangerous? Everything we have now is our own struggle. Your eldest brother is a strong man, and he will definitely not take this idea to heart. I've worried enough, too. I just wanted to marry him as soon as possible, most of my peers got married, and he was already the latest. I have discussed it with Wanjia before, and the day we are optimistic about is April next year, what do you think? ”

Wen Hui naturally agreed and said, "I also agree with the eldest brother marrying the sister-in-law back as soon as possible." Sister Mi-jin's life at home is not satisfactory. She is such a talented person, and her family is still suppressing her, not letting her go of business. It's infuriating. Mother, when Sister Meizhen enters our house, mother should not learn from those evil mothers-in-law to bully her daughter-in-law, let it go if she can. It's time for mothers to be happy, too. ”
