Today, the Yongjiang River is very lively, the men on the upper body, the big drum that is lifted high, and the dragon boat dressed up in colorful colors, there are many people and merchants on both sides of the strait to climb the heights to watch the scenery.

Qian Yuan stopped for a long time before urging the horse to the east, and after sailing out for five or six miles, he abandoned the horse and crossed the Yongjiang River by boat, and the opposite bank was Jinji Mountain.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain, where people come and go, and there are many ox carts and horse-drawn carts carrying goods.

Looking at the bluestone slabs paved under his feet, and then at the brand-new houses around him, Qian Yuan scolded Mao Haifeng with a smile: "I'd rather build a nest for myself than help repair Weiyuan City!" ”

Mao Haifeng rolled his eyes, "Lord Qian is still counting on the Japanese to repair Weiyuan City"

"Who said you were a widow!" Qian Yuan said: "Damn, you are a widow, isn't Qian colluding with a widow...... Who's going to button up the big hat! ”

"Someone in Shaoxing Mansion is complaining." Tan Qizhi, who followed behind Mao Haifeng, explained: "The eyes are red. ”

"!" Qian Yuan scolded: "Just watch the thief eat meat, don't watch the thief get beaten...... How hard did Lao Tzu spend to toss like this, what is there to complain about in Shaoxing Mansion! ”

Mao Haifeng was also speechless, just watching the thief eat meat, not watching the thief being beaten...... Who is the thief?

Entering a mansion, Qian Yuan didn't bother to say a few words, "The fleet came back yesterday, what about the account books?"

Tan Qizhi immediately took out an account book from his arms and handed it over, "Tea, cotton, porcelain, hemp paper, silk and other six categories are divided into three classes according to the meaning of Lord Qian, and the purchase price, selling price, and tax payment are all on it. ”

"I don't look at the purchase price." Qian Yuan raised his hand, Liang Sheng handed over a few pieces of paper and quills, and Peng Feng came in with an inkstone, and took the inkstone to study the ink.

Qian Yuan flipped through the account books back and forth with his left hand, and wrote and drew on the paper with a quill pen in his right hand, ticking or drawing a circle from time to time, Mao Haifeng asked curiously: "You don't need an abacus"

Two months ago, the first batch of ships went to sea, loading all kinds of goods, and it was difficult to end the calculation for a while, and Tang Shunzhi, who had not yet officially taken office as the prefect of Ningbo, sat on the dock and flew up with an abacus, which was impressive...... Well, Qian Yuan doesn't even need an abacus.

The paper was already full of writing, and Qian Yuan even drew a table by hand, dividing each type of product into three grades, and marking the profit margin of each grade.

Nanjing Yunjin and Suzhou Song Jin have the highest price, and they were sold out quickly, but the output is not high, but although the profit margin of Songjiang cotton cloth is slightly smaller, the output is high, and the profit is flat.

But when the goods go to sea, silk can take up much less space than cotton.

"When the eight ships went to sea, they paid a total of six hundred and seventeen taels of silver, and the total income from selling goods was ......," Qian Yuan calculated on paper, "thirty-five thousand three hundred taels of silver." ”

Tan Qizhi swallowed his saliva, and it took a whole day to calculate in the three accounting rooms in Nanyang that day, and this was only the time to make a stick of incense.

Seeing that there was no happy look on Qian Yuan's face, and then looking at Tan Qizhi who was a little uneasy, Mao Haifeng persuaded: "Lord Qian, although the Wa Kingdom is prolific with gold, it is not something that can be exchanged casually, everyone knows that going to the Wa Kingdom to exchange silver for gold, and then returning to Daming to exchange it for silver......

Qian Yuan glanced at Mao Haifeng strangely, "With such heavy profits, there is no need to be demanding...... In addition, in the future, trade will be smooth, the fleet will be all over the sea, and the exchange of gold and silver will inevitably gradually be close to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The goods worth more than 6,000 taels were exchanged for 35,000 taels of silver, and the profit was nearly 30,000 ta......els," Qian Yuan sighed twice, patted Tan Qizhi's shoulder hard, and then held Mao Haifeng's hands, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Haimao is really a million profits!" ”

Mao Haifeng said with a smile: "This is still Lao Tan who is too careful, and actually transported a few boats of grain back...... I told him a long time ago that if you ship some blankets or something, it will be another deal! ”

"Hey, you, your eye sockets are shallow!" Qian Yuan squirted, turned his head and asked, "Who came back with the intention of transporting grain?"

Tan Qizhi, who had been keeping his mouth closed, said expressionlessly, "Mr. Fang instructed me." ”

"Oh, that's called cleverness!" Qian Yuan praised: "The eyes are long...... Hey, Mr. Fang is not here, this time Qian owes a favor. ”

"Favors"

Qian Yuan glared at Mao Haifeng angrily, "Who is this fleet?"

"Old Tan...... No, it's yours. ”

"Qian didn't pay the money to repair the wharf and repair the warehouse, and he couldn't use the grain to deduct the tax and silver for the next time he went to sea, and even ......" Qian Yuan lowered his voice and said: "Tang Jingchuan has a lot of big fleets over there, what should I do if I don't let my fleet go to sea when I turn around?"

"No, it won't"

"No," Qian Yuan sneered and said, "You go out and inquire, what kind of person is Jing Chuangong!" ”

"This batch of grain is sold to the Ningbo government at a flat price, and Tang Jingchuan will definitely be able to release the fleet to sea!"

"You know, time is silver, if you can run one more trip, you can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, and what can you do if you get some blankets back!"

Mao Haifeng was dumbfounded, "How are the accounts calculated...... Damn, the reader is the yin............ Uh, smart! ”

Qian Yuanyang raised the few pieces of paper in his hand, "Mr. Fang is not there, I have to discuss with him......"

"What are you discussing," Tan Qizhi suddenly asked.

"Speaking of going to sea to sell goods, as long as you can get back, you can make money, but how much you can earn, there is something special about it, such as tea." Qian Yuan spread the paper on the table, "There are many Ming people who have moved to Nanyang, in fact, Westerners have been buying tea from Daming for many years. ”

"Tea is divided into three grades, ordinary tea is just a big road goods, a little better tea is produced in tea mountains, tea gardens, fine tea that is also famous in Daming, such as pineapple tea, Longjing, melon slices, stone flowers, ......"

"This account book is obviously a flow of accounts, and it has not been reorganized, this time I went to Nanyang to sell goods, ordinary tea is the largest, but it has been sold out in five days, but it is pineapple, Longjing to the last day half sold and half sent before the clearance."

"You say, next time you sell tea, third-class tea, how to proportion"

Tan Qi pointed to look at Mao Haifeng, who smiled dryly and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Fang?"

"I am here, right here, that day Lao Tan sailed back and brought Mr. from Zhoushan."

The other party was relieved, but Qian Yuan was not in a hurry, "I'll talk about it later, there's something ...... going on."

After a pause, Qian Yuan lowered his voice, "How to divide it"

"What is divided and how to divide" Mao Haifeng looked at Tan Qizhi blankly before he reacted, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has explained, the fleet has sent money to you, so naturally you will share it." ”

"Lao Tan is good to say, naturally he has to keep a ......" Qian Yuan frowned and said: "The owner of Wufeng is ...... there"

Mao Haifeng smacked his lips, although the goods in front of him were greedy for money, they were quite upright, and they were very disciplined...... In those years, those who traded and sold goods to the sea in Ligang were all for Wang Zhishang.

"Other fleets...... Don't even think about it. Qian Yuan said: "It's just that this fleet is a gift from the owner of Wufeng after all, and it makes sense to share a profit......

Mao Haifeng hesitated, "I'll ask my father-in-law first." ”

Wang Zhi's maritime merchants have long reached a consensus that Qian Yuan and Qian Zhan are greedy for money, don't make trouble for this bit of silver.

"Good, good." Qian Yuan said casually: "But one more thing, this is profitable...... I have to drag it back, at least next year, and now it's cleaner than my face. ”

Mao Haifeng was speechless, what a fart!
