In recent years, Datang's economy has developed rapidly, and many opportunities to make money have emerged in all walks of life.

The nobles of Chang'an City have the most profound experience of this change.

As long as they are not rigid in their brains and think that business is a lowly thing, they have made money.

In this case, what to focus on investing in is worth teaching.

It's the same 10,000 yuan, and if you choose the industry, it will become 15,000 yuan after the New Year.

On the contrary, if you don't choose a good industry, there may only be 11,000.

Normally, a 10% income a year is not bad.

However, everything is afraid of comparison.

All the nobles in Chang'an City, who hasn't earned a lot of money in recent years?

As far as the rate of return of the eldest grandson's family is concerned, it is not enough to look at it at all.

"Aye, in the first eight months of this year, the income of the ironmaking workshop has been less than half of the overall income of our family, and several other industries have increased very quickly. After our black tea begins to generate income, it is estimated that the income of the ironmaking workshop is likely to drop to 30%. ”

Zhao Guogong's Mansion, Changsun Chong and Changsun Wuji were facing several account books, exchanging some core information of the Changsun family.

It is no secret how much a country earns in the country.

But how much income a family has is actually very private.

In this era, no family wants to let people know how much they earn in a year.

The eldest grandson's family is no exception.

In addition to the manager of the accounting room, the eldest grandson Wuji and his son knew this information.

"The technology of our iron-making workshop is obviously one level lower than that of the Chu Palace. To be honest, if the focus was not shifted to ironwork in time, it would have been difficult for the ironmaking workshop to make a profit. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji sighed.

Although the income of the eldest grandson's family has increased slightly this year, the poor performance of the family's core industry has cast a shadow on his heart.

"Aya, I went to the iron-making workshop last month, in fact, not only is the iron-making process of the Chu Wangfu improving, but ours is also improving significantly. Once the recently built steelmaking furnace is successfully put into operation, our passive situation will certainly change dramatically. ”

Why can the steel of the Chu Wangfu be sold so cheaply?

As the main competitor, the eldest grandson family naturally arranged a lot of people to investigate.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and after many efforts, they still found a little famous.

Following this line of thought, the craftsmen of the eldest grandson family also continued to try, and finally found a way to directly use iron ore to smelt refined steel.

Although the quality of the steel produced by this method is relatively poor, it is already considered to be a category of steel after all.

With a little processing, it can be turned into real steel.

This greatly reduces the cost of steel for the eldest grandson's family.

"Our technology is advancing, how do you think that Li Kuan's people are eating their old books there? Relying on one iron smelting to make a living, this kind of situation will no longer exist in the future. However, Chong'er can think of vigorously developing black tea, buying tea gardens, and recruiting tea craftsmen, and I am very happy for my father. Now it's time to diversify your family's business. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji himself may not realize that he is being influenced by Li Kuan more and more.

It's like a word like industrial diversification, where did he understand it before?

These are all words that appear in the article above "Datang Daily", and they are slowly accepted by everyone.

This happens almost every day.

If you really want to sort out the new words added by the Tang Dynasty every year, it is estimated that half of them can have something to do with the Chu Palace.

What Aya said is that diversification is an inevitable choice. However, although our family is also a big family, there is not a lot of money that can really be used. For some industries or plots with poor returns, children feel that they should sell them, and the old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come. ”

Eldest Sun Chong said pointedly.

The eldest grandson Wuji is naturally not stupid, and he can hear that his son has something to say.

"Chong'er, what do you want to sell?"

"Aya, the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland near the workshop city, I don't know how many years have been there. Although the price was very cheap when I bought it, it was a pity that the area was too large, and it was a pity that 50,000 or 60,000 yuan was placed there. With this money, we can use it to build a few workshops, or buy a few sea boats to go to sea a few times, and the money we earn is estimated to be 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. ”

The wasteland near the workshop city was bought by the eldest grandson Wuji.

This can be regarded as a move to follow the trend of Chu Wangfu.

It's a pity that this time I followed the trend, and so far I haven't generated any gains.

Although I didn't lose money, and strictly speaking, the land price may have risen a little bit, but if I sell it now, I can still earn 10,000 or 8,000 yuan.

But compared to the investment a few years ago, this benefit is really not enough.

It's no wonder that Changsun Chong has always wanted to sell it.

I really don't see the future.

"Since you think it's better to sell the land than to keep it in your hands, sell it. It should also be a good choice to spend 10,000 yuan to buy tea plantations, and then go to Lingnan to expand the scale of sugarcane planting. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji thought for a while, and then agreed to Eldest Sun Chong's proposal.

Although he always felt that Li Kuan had hoarded a lot more land in the workshop city than himself, it would definitely be of other uses, and if his land was not sold, it should be useful in the long run.

However, after waiting for several years, there is still no movement.

Now the eldest grandson's family is using money, so it's good to sell it.

"That'...... The boy will arrange for the housekeeper to find a buyer tomorrow. ”

Eldest Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little worried that his proposal would be rejected.

After all, when he bought the land, the eldest grandson Wuji had already made his purpose very clear.

"Don't look around like a blind man, this wasteland, I guess it's still the Chu Wangfu that interests me the most. Others have to come up with so much money in one go, although it is not impossible to take it out, but this land should not be so attractive. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji still has this vision.

Although he himself couldn't understand Li Kuan's layout, he didn't think that there was anyone else in Chang'an City who could understand it.

In this case, this land is none other than the Chu Palace.

Unless the eldest grandson's family is willing to sell it to others, it will not be sold to the Chu Palace.

But his eldest grandson, Wuji, father and son, are not stupid, and they can't get along with anyone, and they won't get along with money.

"The Mansion of the King of Chu, ......"

Eldest Sun Chong had a constipated expression on his face.

There was a lot of helplessness in his eyes, but he felt a little resigned to his fate.

There was no way, he was hit too much, and he was already a little numb.

Never mind!

The Chu Wangfu is the Chu Wangfu!

Anyway, I can still earn 10,000 yuan, and I won't be laughed at.
