On this day, the Bai family took stock of the income of the past few months in the house, happy eyebrows smiled, Chen Wenhui also helped the Bai family settle the accounts, and was also very happy, Chen Yuanheng came into the house, and saw the two mothers and daughters smirking there, so he was happy: "What are you two mother and daughter laughing at?" What is it that makes you so happy? ”

Bai stood up and said, "The master has gone down to the yamen?" We're taking stock of the books. I have made a lot of money in the past few months, and the lord can send someone to the capital to open a restaurant and a branch of Cuijinlou. ”

Chen Yuanheng was overjoyed: "So quickly got together 300,000 taels of silver?" I seem to remember that I only repaid the bank's 100,000 taels of silver last month, why did I praise 300,000 taels so quickly? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Daddy guessed wrong, it's not just 300,000 taels." ”

Chen Yuanheng hurriedly walked over, picked up the account book and looked: "Why is it more than 300,000 taels?" ”

Bai said: "We are all because of the money on the clothes, and now that the clothes are sold, the money will naturally come out." Also, because there are many rich merchants who come to Deqing, we also sell a lot of wine, all of which are sold wholesale. So we quickly paid off the bank's debts, and because we sold 70,000 or 80,000 taels of wine, we don't have much wine in stock now. This is nothing, the biggest one is to buy technology, one is 10,000 taels, and now more than 70 counties have come to us to buy technology. That's eight or nine hundred thousand taels of silver. Hey, I've never seen so much silver in my life. ”

Chen Yuanheng was surprised: "Why did more than 70 counties sell nearly 900,000 taels of silver?" ”

Bai said: "Most of them came from one county, and some of them came from three or four counties together, so we let them compete for the price, and the one with the highest price got it, and those who bought it had more money, and those who didn't buy it were not idle, so they used the money to buy some goods in Deqing." There are also some merchants who are late. As soon as we saw that someone in their county had already bought it first, we said that we would not sell it to them, and they couldn't run in vain, so we also bought goods in Deqing. There are those who buy Ancheng Song family bean curd, some who buy our beautiful clothes and treasure clothes, some who buy jade ice roast and Yuquan wine, some who buy livestock and poultry, and some who buy our iron tools and farm tools. There are also those who buy soybean oil. There is also buying tea from Jiangnan. Silk, bamboo, Wanjiayinlou jewelry, and cloth shoes we sell. There are a lot of them, anyway, the money brought by these rich businessmen has been spent in Deqing, and of course they have brought back a large number of goods, which is estimated to make a fortune, and they will not run in vain. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "In this way, no wonder Yuan Mao told me that we have more taxes this year, and we can probably repay the money borrowed from the bank when building roads." I also wondered why we in Deqing should have lost money this year because of the relief of the victims. How can you still make money? It turned out that these wealthy merchants brought a lot of silver trading. Yes, there are a hundred rich merchants here, which is one million taels of silver, even if we have 900,000 here, and 100,000 to buy other goods in Deqing. ”

Bai said: "That's more than 100,000. I heard Ziyu say that there are more than 150 wealthy businessmen from all over the world who come to us, and only more than 70 of them have bought technology, and the money is left in our family, and there are still 700,000 or 800,000 left, which is 780,000 yuan, and there are also rich businessmen who bought our technology, did they only bring 10,000 taels of silver? The poor are rich, and they must have brought more. The extra silver they must have taken with them when they left. In this way, more silver will flow to the market, definitely more than our family's silver. ”

Chen Yuanheng was moved: "During this period of time, I was busy preparing for the autumn harvest in the county, and I didn't bother to ask about these things, these tax matters are all managed by Yuan Mao." That's great, we're going to have more tax dollars this year. I heard that because of the war in the north, the tax revenue in all parts of the world has been affected, and it is difficult to complete the task this year, and the emperor is worried, if we complete the task, no, we have overfulfilled the task, and sent more tax money to the imperial court, so I won't show my face again? ”

Bai pursed his lips and laughed. Chen Wenhui said: "Father, you are like this, you have been in the limelight too much recently, will it be bad?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Mu Xiu must urge Lin Feng, I still understand this truth." But my official position is too small, and it is not too much to be in the limelight, and those bigwigs in the court don't care about a five-grade petty official. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed. Anyway, she doesn't understand these political things, she just cares about how to make money. Thinking of making money, Chen Wenhui asked again: "Father, mother, now we have so much money on our books, we can't put it in vain, we have to find a way to make money." ”

Bai laughed: "Hui'er just thinks about money, but it's good to let money make money." Sir, what are your plans? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Originally, I just planned to open an ordinary restaurant in the capital, so I planned to spend 300,000 taels, but now that I have money, I can't do this, so I just spend a little more money and build a better one, with 600,000 taels." Among them, 550,000 taels were used to build a restaurant, and 50,000 taels were used to buy an ordinary shop and open a branch of Cuijin Building. ”

Chen Wenhui stuck out her tongue: "A restaurant of 550,000 taels, how luxurious is this?" ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed. Bai said: "Hui'er was too young when she was in the capital, I don't know the situation in the capital, in fact, 550,000 taels of silver, just to buy land to build a restaurant will cost more than 400,000 taels, if you can't buy a place, you have to take over someone else's restaurant, that cost more money, anyway, in the capital to build an Ancheng Deqing Building like a water pavilion, there is a restaurant, just the land, the house will cost nearly 500,000 taels." ”

Chen Wenhui was taken aback: "Mother, doesn't that mean that the price of goods in the capital is ten times more expensive than in Ancheng?" ”

Bai laughed: "The price of goods in the capital is expensive, but it is not ten times more expensive, but the land is more than ten times more expensive. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, too, the housing price in a small county town in the previous life was a few thousand yuan, and the price in the center of Beijing was more than 100,000 yuan. When you think about it, you can understand it. said to Chen Yuanheng: "Father, isn't this 600,000 yuan enough? The capital is a place of high consumption, there are many people, there are many people to eat, and more investment will earn more in the future, anyway, we are not short of silver now. There are also wealthy merchants from remote areas who rushed to Deqing, there are so many counties in the entire Great Chu Dynasty, and half of them have not yet come. ”

Chen Yuanheng thought about it as soon as he thought about it, so he said: "There are more than 1,000 counties in the Great Chu Dynasty, and this is less than one-tenth of it." There should be more, but not half of them, at least three hundred. It's just that in this way, others can easily calculate how much money we have, three hundred is three million taels, and I'm afraid that there will be more people who will ask us for money in the future. ”

Bai suddenly remembered those relatives in the capital, and couldn't help but sigh. Chen Wenhui said: "What do you want to do now? Don't they come after thinking about it? Let's think about what we're doing now. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "What Hui'er said makes sense, and when the time comes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what are you afraid of." In that case, I will take the 900,000 taels and give it to Chen Cai to take to the capital to build a restaurant and a branch. There are 100,000 taels left, and Madame will think about how to use it. ”

Bai said: "The remaining 100,000 taels, I plan to let Qingjian expand the production of wine, seeing that the autumn harvest is about to come, let Qingjian buy grain, these 100,000 we will spend in Deqing, Ancheng, it will inevitably bring benefits to the lord's taxes, remember the 50,000 taels two years ago?" ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed and said: "The 50,000 saved my urgency, and the 100,000 must be better." On behalf of the people of Deqing, thank you, madam. ”

After Chen Yuanheng finished speaking, Bai Shi hurriedly said, "The master is teasing me again." ”

Chen Wenhui watched her father and mother flirt, and she couldn't laugh.

Bai's face turned red: "Master is really, my daughter is still here, that's it, it's embarrassing." ”

Chen Yuanheng put on a very innocent appearance and said: "I am thanking you seriously, why did I become a joke of you?" ”

Bai Shi took a sip and said, "I still have serious things to say, you just make trouble." ”

Chen Yuanheng hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't talk about it, Madam still has anything serious to say, and what I just said about my feelings is all improper things." ”

Bai Shi was angry: "I'll be annoyed if I say it again." Hum. Now I want to talk about the people that Chen Cai brought to the capital. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Just let Chen Cai go, of course, there must be Feiguang and Yinhong, and Chen Fu and Chen Qing, these few people should be enough." ”

Bai said: "Where can Chen Cai leave for a long time? I thought about asking Ziyu and Li Huan to go too. Ziyu and Li Huan were originally tied to the farm, but now that the technology has been sold, Ziyu has taught a reliable family technique, so that Ziyu can pull away. I'm thinking of asking you to bring Ziyu and Li Huan with you. Do Chen Cai a favor. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Ziyu can take a break from the best, Ziyu will help you Dali Grange in the capital, manage the accounts, and work with Qingshuang to help you manage the affairs of those ladies, so everyone in the government is familiar with the way, and it is naturally good to have her." Although Li Huan hadn't seen it, he just learned some experience from Chen Cai, so it was decided. ”

Bai Shi said: "In the future, we will come to buy technology again, so we will have a lot of silver, I think to expand our Cuijin Lou workshop, in fact, there is no need to expand, when the victims came, in order to work for the victims, they have already expanded the two workshops in Deqing and Anseong." Originally, the victims were gone, and there were fewer people in our workshop, and the yard could not be used so much, but I did not sell the surplus yard, and now I am using it, and I want to recruit more female workers and expand the processing. ”
