Xiao Yao was really honest, because the purpose of the establishment of the General Firmhouse was to make blood for the iron workshop, and the iron workshop included various mines in various parts of Jiangzhou in addition to the iron workshop.

Each mine employs a large number of technicians, and although a few have already started mining, the whole is still in the preparatory stage, and it is impossible to cover its own profits and losses, and it still needs to be subsidized by the general commercial bank for a large amount of silver.

There is also the general fleet, although it monopolizes the Jiangzhou market, but it mainly serves its own family: from transporting materials from all over the country to iron workshops, transporting sugarcane purchased from Lingnan to Jinling, doing loss-making business!

So don't look at Zu Yuan's infinite scenery now, in fact, he is poorer than anyone else, at present, there are a lot of businesses under the general firm, but only Tangfang is profitable, and those newly acquired restaurants and brothels are already good if they can take care of their own profits and losses.

Therefore, when Chen Shuling saw the account book of the General Commercial Bank, he couldn't help but be furious, and called Zu Yuan back to Jiangzhou to ask: Why did the sugar mill become a royal tribute after the production of the sugar mill, the supply exceeded demand, and the price was sky-high, but it was still beyond the means!

Of course, Zu Yuan has already responded to the saying: the general trading bank was established less than half a year, it can be said that there is no foundation, everything has to start from scratch, for example, the fleet has no old customers, so there is not much business, but it cannot be dissolved, and can only post money to serve itself;

The existing mines in Chen Guo were monopolized by the Yinhai Commercial Bank, and the iron workshop could only open its own mines if it wanted to survive, and to open the mines, it was necessary to hire people and pay wages, so it could only rely on blood transfusions in the sugar mill to survive.

I also have to open up relationships and other expenses at the banquet in Jinling, if it weren't for my hard work, the general business bank would have collapsed a long time ago, Zu Yuan cried with a handful of snot and tears, and looked at Chen Shuling with innocent eyes, and it looked like he would borrow money from him again.

Chen Shuling really turned his head to avoid Zu Yuan's eyes, and saw that he was reasonable, and seeing him like this, he was embarrassed to attack again, so he could only smash the wine glass in his hand angrily.

Zu Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, wiped away his tears, drew a big pie, and vowed to promise: at most one year, when the mines in various places operate normally, and after the fleet accumulates old customers, it will definitely be able to turn losses into profits, plus the treasure of sugar, and sell it to various countries at that time, and there will be a steady stream of silver!

In the end, Chen Shuling ate a lot of flatbreads painted by Zu Yuan, and accepted the beautiful courtesans he offered, so he slowly dissipated his anger!

When Bao Liang heard this secret, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out that the General Commodity Bank was a virtual appearance, and seeing him so beautiful recently, we were all scared during this time, like a frightened bird, for fear that the General Commodity Company would take advantage of the situation to defeat the Yinhai Firm in one fell swoop, and it turned out that they were all scared of themselves.

Xiao Yao saw his happy expression, and also smiled: "What, what does the master think of our sincerity?" I believe that after knowing this secret, you will not be so panicked. ”

"If, as you said, the General Comptoir can't contribute silver to Xingwang, then of course it's good news for us, and we can also adjust our strategy to deal with Xingwang, but let you leave it alone, it's not a good way either!" Bao Liang smiled.

"Then it depends on any of you to treat us, my master has been wandering for half a life, just seeking stability and wealth, and I was accepted as a righteous son by my father-in-law, I have the opportunity to leap into the dragon gate, of course, I also hope to have a bright future, hehe, who treats us well, who just uses us, we can still get it!" Xiao Yao also smiled.

"Having said that, if you still choose to Xingwang in the future, then aren't we just letting the tiger return to the mountain today?" Bao Liang threatened again.

"My father-in-law often taught me to be loyal to the country, and I will also be taken into the barracks by my father-in-law in the next year, away from the court dispute, I can assure you that I will be loyal to the emperor, no matter who can sit on the throne in the future! I am a grateful person, and I am not a person who sits idly by, so what we choose in the future depends mainly on what you do to us! Xiao Yao showed a childish smile.

"Okay, that's all for today, whether it's friend or foe, the master thinks slowly! I believe that the master won't really let me go today, right, is he really trying to force me to make a move? Ha ha! Xiao Yao smiled meaningfully.

"Amitabha, good, good, Shiro has sent sincerity today, of course I also want to exchange courtesy, Jueyu, come in, send off Xiao Gongzi!" Bao Liang clasped his hands and said.

Seeing the little monk come in, he remembered his Dharma name, Xiao Yao laughed again and asked, "Why did the master give him Jueyu's funny Dharma name?" ”

Bao Liang was puzzled and asked, "This law name is funny?" It's good, it's awake, it's upbringing, it's good? ”

Xiao Yao smiled without saying a word, looking at this little guy with a thin figure but strong martial arts, he suddenly remembered a monk who could fight the most, and said with a smile: "Why don't I give him a better Dharma name, how about Wukong?" ”

"Goku?" Bao Liang and the little monk were stunned.

"yes, Goku! Enlightenment is more direct than consciousness, emptiness, the so-called color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color! Isn't that exactly what you monks want to achieve? Xiao Yao casually recited these two Buddhist classics.

Bao Liang silently recited it a few times, and couldn't help but light up, and said with a smile: "Haha, Shiro is really a person who is destined for the Buddha, and he can say such exquisite Buddha words, Jueyu, come and thank Xiao Gongzi, from now on your Dharma name will be called Wukong!" ”

Although the little monk still couldn't understand the meaning of these two Buddhist scriptures, he felt that Wukong was quite good, and the master was so excited, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him: "Wukong, thank you Xiao Gongzi for the name!" ”

Xiao Moke, who was already waiting at the door and looked a little worried, saw Xiao Yao swaggering out, followed by Bao Liang and the little monk Wukong, who were still smiling, they were all surprised, and immediately asked: "How can Shiro be virtuous, how dare you bother the master to send it off in person!" ”

"General Xiao doesn't have to be polite, Shiro is a rare person with a fate, today's narrative has benefited Lao Ke a lot, Shiro, you have to come often in the future, Lao Ke will definitely be grandly entertained, we only talk about the scriptures and Buddha, not anything else! Amitabha! Bao Liang smiled.

"Haha, then I'll bother the master a lot then!" After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he turned around and got on the horse, which made Xiao Moke and his party feel inexplicable.

Bao Liang wants to meet Xiao Yao alone, Xiao Moke is still a little worried, after all, one is the prince's camp and the other is the Xingwang camp, and there was friction before, but now the two are like a pair of good friends, and they are invited to continue visiting, what happened.

"Shiro, why is Master Bao Liang so happy, what did you all say, he doesn't blame you for your previous offense?" On the way back, Xiao Moke finally couldn't help but ask.

"We're just talking about Buddhist scriptures, my father-in-law doesn't have to think about it, the master is a reasonable person." Xiao Yao said mysteriously.

"I don't believe it, you humiliated him before, and the master is the prince's teacher, I thought he asked you to go in and take you down and hand you over to the prince!" Xiao Wuhua was also very worried about Xiao Yao.

"Wuhua, you think so much about me? He is a monk with great compassion, and you didn't hear him say that I am a person who is related to the Buddha, so of course he should treat me as a guest! He also said that I was a rare genius in a hundred years, crying and begging me, asking me to be his apprentice! Xiao Yao said arrogantly, causing everyone to roll their eyes.

"Haha, that's good, Shiro, you and the master turn enemies into friends, then the father doesn't have to worry about you anymore! The emperor has ordered me to go to the barracks to train the army after the year, and when the time comes, you will follow me honestly, and you can't make trouble! Xiao Moke finally let go of his heart.
