Princess Lichuan said: "Wen Jun, everyone's investment is 10 million taels of silver, how can it be that the fourth phase of the shop will be recovered this time?" ”

Wen Jun said with a smile: "Because if these two voyages go smoothly, I think there will be two more ways to make money in the future, so that it is not just selling shops to make money, but three ways to make money together, of course, it will be faster." ”

Ma Mingsong asked: "I can guess one of the financial routes, it should be said that after the two voyages are over, the trade in the city will naturally be taxed, but this is a long-term money, and it should not be much in the short term at present, so I can't think of another financial route." ”

Wen Jun said: "It's already shrewd for Big Brother Ma to come up with this way of making money. In fact, after I put my thoughts out, you will understand that a lot of taxes will be collected in a short period of time. ”

This time, everyone is even more confused.

Wen Jun said: "Actually, it's very simple, I think this time Brother Ma took the fleet to Goguryeo, and it was already the second trip, so it should be very smooth, so I built yì so that the merchants who bought our position can also go with them." Let them experience the exotic scenery for themselves, see the mystery and profiteering of the sea trade, and then when they come back after they have tasted the sweetness, I want to start selling our ships. ”

"Sell the ship?" Everyone asked in unison.

Wen Jun said: "Yes, it is to sell ships." In fact, Goguryeo is very close, and it is not very good for us to travel between it with a fleet. We have limited manpower and energy, and we are still thinking about developing new shipping lanes. For example, this trip to the Wa Kingdom, I will sail to the South Seas in the future, so. In a place like Goguryeo, we don't have much energy to do trade. So, I thought about selling the route to the merchants. Many of Goguryeo's specialties, such as Xiangxiang rice, medicinal herbs, etc., are of little value, but they take up a lot of space, so it is better to give such a business to those who are interested. In this way, two things can be sold to them, one is a ship and the other is a route. If you want to do business in Goguryeo, you have to buy our small clippers, and you have to buy shipping routes from our city. Isn't this a road to great wealth? ”

As soon as the idea was announced, everyone was very excited, what a good idea. Wen Hui thought to herself, the eldest brother is really a talent.

Xu Wenchang asked: "Then do we have more clippers in the dock?" ”

Wen Jun said: "Our main focus now is on building the Daifuku ship that is ready to sail away. I guess it will be about two months. You will be able to sail away with the Daifuku ship. Before that, we were all small clippers. This kind of small clipper is actually not small. It's just a little smaller than the Daifuku ship. Such a ship. Our technology is very mature, the port has stopped a lot, and because after the last time we sailed, we found some problems, so we improved it again, so that this small clipper is more suitable for going to Goguryeo. But such ships go a little farther away. For example, Nanyang, it is estimated that it is not very good. So, we only need to leave enough for one fleet, or two fleets, and we don't need much for the rest. We might as well sell the rest. ”

Xu Wenchang nodded.

Wen Hui smiled and said, "I still think of a little. If this kind of small clipper ship is sold, some merchants will organize their own ships to trade with Goguryeo. However, there are still some uneven coastal areas, a small number of pirates, and some fierce big fish in the sea, all of which need to be protected by our sailors. We can rent out our sailors and escorts, so that we can make some money and allow our sailors to gain experience in sailing on the seas. Isn't it equivalent to asking merchants to spend money to feed us an army? ”

Princess Lichuan laughed: "This is amazing, Wen Jun has come up with a new way to make money, so there are more ways to make money, and Wen Hui has come up with a way to save expenses, so it saves money, this in and out, isn't it equal to a lot of more money?" ”

Ma Mingsong said: "Not to mention, this will attract a lot of merchants to come to Shanghai to do business, the shop can be rented out, the tax can be more, and the tax of sea trade is also more, this is really two more ways to make money, I think even if you can't recover all the costs, you can recover half of it." It's a pleasure to think about. You must know that our millions of taels were taken out by the emperor after embezzling part of the money from the state treasury. The emperor is now demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall, and the turnover is very hard, if he can pay back half of it, the pressure will be much less. ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled. In fact, this money is a huge pressure in everyone's heart, and I thought that it would take at least five or ten years to recover the cost, which would be considered a huge profit, who knew that it would be recovered in less than a year. It's mainly the method of selling shops contributed by Wen Hui, and the method of selling ships contributed by Wen Jun. It is conceivable that when the costs are withdrawn, the rest will be profits, how amazing, everyone here will become the richest people in the Great Chu Dynasty.

Of course, now you can earn more than 10 million taels of silver in a year, and it is impossible to have so much in the future, after all, Shanghai City is so big, and when the shops in the seventh or eighth phases are sold, and the Shanghai city is built, there will naturally be no money for selling shops with the greatest income. But at that time, Shanghai will be very prosperous, just sea trade, trade, tax is a lot of income, everyone for a while feel that the future is bright.

In the next few days, everyone was busy, Wen Lin and Wen Hui were building the second and third phases of the shop, and Ma Mingsong was selling his positions in Goguryeo and Wa Kingdom. Wen Jun is stepping up shipbuilding, and although there are many ships in stock now, once they start to sell, they will definitely be in short supply.

In her busy schedule, Wen Hui also took the time to bring a letter to Wan Meizhen, asking her to get some high-quality glass products and mirrors, and prepare to sell them to Goguryeo and Wa Guo, you must know that Wen Hui has already set a position in these two fleets. Wen Hui also brought a letter to her family, asking her family to bring some of her products over, after all, these things will be worth twice as soon as they arrive overseas, how can Wen Hui miss it.

When she brought the letter to Meizhen, Wen Hui was still thinking in her heart, I don't know, Sister Meizhen will come with the goods in person this time, you must know that they are about to get married, Sister Meizhen doesn't seem to be married at all, she is still busy with business, and she is not idle during the New Year. actually went to the capital and opened a branch of Baojingfang with the help of the princess. Therefore, at their party in Qingyang City last time, Wan Qiaozhen arrived, but Meizhen did not. For this reason, Wen Hui also joked with her brother, it seems that her brother is married to a strong woman.

Where do you know that my brother appreciates Meizhen's hard work very much, Wen Hui can't help but admire, this is really a match made in heaven, her mother's eyes are vicious, she knows the preferences of her eldest son at once, and she has found a good girl like Wan Meizhen by thousands of choices, which is really amazing.

Soon, his family came with goods, this time it was Li Huan and Ziyu, who brought preserved fruits, Yuquan wine, and perfume from their families. I heard that the people of the Japanese Kingdom love vassal elegance and are very fond of all kinds of spice products, and I believe that the perfume at home will be very popular. This time there are more perfumes than the last time, because Qingshuang's three new perfume workshops have already begun to produce, and spring is the time when there are the most flowers, so the natural production is more, so this time there are more perfumes, so this time there are more perfumes.

Wen Hui asked Li Huan and Ziyu about the situation at home. Ziyu said: "It's all good at home. I heard that the princess sent a letter to the princess, and I don't know what the letter said, anyway, the princess came to our house for a special trip. Although Mrs. was angry and gave her a cold face, she kept smiling, took out the dead skin of the junior, coaxed Mrs. to be happy, and stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Mrs. had no choice but to resume contact with her. She couldn't help it, so she asked her to come over or come to our house for three days. The excuse was that she was pregnant for the first time, and the elders in the family were not around, so she had to ask her wife to take care of her more. It's so pitiful, can Madame ignore it? I had to deal with her more. In this way, there was not much time, the fourth prince looked at it and was happy, besides, now that spring ploughing is coming soon, Lord Liu is busy, and he can't take care of managing the affairs of the mansion, so he handed over the housekeeping power to the princess again. ”

Wen Hui sneered and said, "She can calculate." ”

Ziyu pursed her lips and said, "Yes." However, I heard that Aunt Wang Yaozhen is doing well in the house, and Aunt Li is also round, but she is not very favored, and the four princes still favor Aunt Wang more. Anyway, there was a lot of chaos in their house. ”

Wen Hui said: "There are many women, can you not mess up?" Look, this is just the beginning, and there will be more to see later. ”

Ziyu said, "Yes." By the way, girl, I also want to ask the girl, this spring ploughing is about to begin, should we plant corn or cotton? It's still a medium sweet potato. Last time, the girl said that she wanted to grow herbs, and Li Huan and I studied it for a long time, and finally chose a few. One is mint, one is the big green root, and the other is a southern plant, which can also be grown in Heyang, called andrographis. ”

As soon as she heard the name of andrographis, Wen Hui remembered that andrographis was widely planted in her previous life, because this is a very good anti-inflammatory drug, with a wide range of uses, and it is also easy to plant.

Wen Hui said: "We took out 30% of the land to grow three kinds of medicinal herbs. Each kind of land is a piece of land, so let's see which one has the highest yield and the best planting, and then decide which one to plant later. As for the remaining seventy percent of the land, it was planted with sweet potatoes. It's easy to care for and has a high yield. That's where the fan workshops we built come into play. In this way, the women, children, and old people who have been working for a long time can work again. Isn't it better? ”

Ziyu nodded after hearing this, and Li Huan said at this time: "I went to take a look at the wheat we planted before, and the growth is really good, compared to the land of those people next to me, the harvest can probably be doubled." That's amazing. It's going to be a big surprise. ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "In this case, my next plan is about to start, or it will be a waste." ”

Ziyu and Li Huan hurriedly asked, "What plan?" ”

ps：

During the absence, I actually harvested two more pinks, which is really happy, but the subscription has declined greatly.

I'm back, I must write with my heart, come on.
