Chen Ye has already decided that after the canal is built, as long as the income from the wharf and the toll of the canal will be handed over to the state, only if the country has money, it can be used for the convenience of people's livelihood, which can have a good effect. For this money, Chen Ye will not be reckless and frantically expand his power.
The money is still used for people's livelihood, to minimize most of the gap between the rich and the poor, and to improve the level of the people's holy lake.
The reason why many situations are prone to drought and flood is actually that water conservancy construction is not good, Chen Ye decided that he has money and will dig more wells for remote places or places prone to drought. Plant more trees, which can effectively store water. It's not good to just drill wells and waste water resources.
In the past, the main profit point of the chamber of commerce may be lipstick, soap and so on. In fact, the formula of lipstick is very different from before. The lipstick that appears in the production has a better color and a very natural smell. It is easy to apply evenly on the lips, shiny and smooth. In the past, Chen Ye invented lipstick alone, but now Chen Ye specially hired some experts in this field to improve his formula. Of course, the materials and recipes in this regard must belong to Chen Ye.
Why are there competing products and imitation people, in fact, it is very simple, soap is relatively simple to make, and the imitation of lipstick is purely the previous rouge imitation of Chen Ye's lipstick, although it is all lipstick, 108,000 kilometers were found in the middle. This time, Chen Ye instructed Chen Yi to carry out anti-counterfeiting treatment for the lipstick he made. The most direct way to prevent others from counterfeiting is to release new products and a few more brands.
To develop some new products in terms of beauty, Chen Ye did not mobilize the local government or Jinyi Wei to crack down. There can't always be a brand of lipstick on the market, and Chen Ye can't be the only one who can make these things. Chen Ye actually hoped in his heart that these people would not only be able to imitate, but also compete with Chen Ye in an upright manner.
However, with their current scale, they can indeed only be imitated, for some technical talents, Chen Ye offers the temptation of high salaries, as long as they are proficient in this aspect, they can work in Chen Ye's technical department to develop new products. It's just that as long as you enter the technical department, you can't open a store without permission and use any of the technology inside.
You can't run around, in fact, the technology can't be leaked, otherwise there will be some other measures, competition is a good thing, if your lipstick and soap and the like don't have any development, it won't last long in the future.
This is the source of the core profit of the Chamber of Commerce, and there is also the profit from the sale of other goods, because the purchase volume of the Chamber of Commerce is relatively large, and the price is relatively cheap. Of course, the biggest profit of the Chamber of Commerce is actually selling salt, which is why Chen Ye cracked down on these illegal salts. In fact, it's easy to say, it's salt, Chen Ye didn't have to discuss.
The previous official salt road trade was also an official sale, and the tax collected was not comparable to the amount of tax collected by Chen Ye selling salt, and the tax revenue of Chen Ye selling salt for three months was more than the official one year. In fact, you can figure out that the profits of official salt have become less and less over the years, partly because of the flood of private salt, and the money has gone into personal pockets, and the other reason is that the official salt colluded up and down, and the profits were of course gone, and the enthusiasm was not high.
Chen Ye cracked down on private salt, but he didn't expect to come out with a powerful character, this person was Zheng Zheng, the head of the Zheng family. Originally, the head of the Zheng family could have had nothing to do, but the head of the Zheng family was a little inconvenient, so he asked people to spend money to go to Jinyiwei to find out what news, and Jinyiwei was involved in the people behind, Zheng Zheng.
Jin Yiwei will definitely continue to search if he catches such a big fish, and Zheng Zheng also feels that he is exposed. If he is stabbed when selling smuggled salt, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be furious, his daughter in the palace will be implicated, and the family will suffer a serious blow. The reason why the Zheng family has reached this point is all because of the daughter in the palace, otherwise the Zheng family would still be an unpopular clan. After all, the Zheng family can be regarded as the emperor's relatives.
The glory and status of the relatives are all in the emperor's thoughts, if the emperor does not favor Concubine Zheng, and there are villains behind him, he knows that the situation is difficult, after all, the Zheng family is not as good as the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of other families.
Chen Ye of Jinyiwei is also his son-in-law logically speaking, after all, he gave him a daughter. Although the news came, the two of them had not yet performed the Zhou Gong salute and had not met.
At this time, Zheng Zheng didn't care about anything else, and came to the door to see if he could be accommodating.
When Zheng Zheng came to the door, Chen Ye thought that he had come to ask about some cases of Jinyiwei, but he didn't expect to remember after seeing Zheng Zheng that there was still a daughter hidden at home, and he didn't care, could it be that he was angry, and he was very polite to see Zheng Zheng coming.
Zheng Zheng came to the mansion to see that Chen Ye was so polite, and he chuckled in his heart.
The more polite Chen Ye was, the more scared Zheng Zheng became.
"Lord Chen, how is your health lately?" Zheng Zheng's appearance of talking and laughing freely, both flattering and well hidden, is a little funny.
"With the blessing of Lord Zheng, my body recovers relatively quickly, and I may have to make this wheelchair for a long time" Chen Ye sighed regretfully.
"En, as long as life is good, it's okay, it's been ....... recently" Seeing Zheng Zheng's words to the point that his heart was hard to open, Chen Ye also felt a little unbearable, after all, it was a little embarrassing for two big men to be in the living room like this.
"If Master Zheng has anything to say, just say it," Chen Ye was ready to be criticized.
"It's that Jinyiwei found out about selling salt, and found out about the Zheng family's head, you see" Zheng Zheng's last tone was already begging for mercy, after all, Chen Ye killed hundreds of people, and now whoever Chen Ye is targeting, no one can sleep.
"Are you because of this?"
"Yes" Hearing Zheng Zheng's confirmation, Chen Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as it was not accountable.
"Oh, you're talking about that", in fact, Chen Ye was taken seriously, just recorded in a small book, and all the past and mistakes were recorded, but Zheng Zheng came to the mansion in person.
"En, Lord Chen doesn't know if he can open the net, as long as the adult speaks", Zheng Zheng's conditions have to be said to be very tempting, Chen Ye is a little moved, this is a good opportunity.
"It's not that you can't... It's just..."Chen Ye deliberately sold a relationship, just to make Zheng Zheng anxious.
"As long as the adults are willing to stop the investigation, our Zheng family is willing to listen to the orders of the adults." Zheng Zheng himself offered such lucrative conditions.
"Really?" Chen Ye felt that it was too easy, and confirmed it again.
"It's true, what proof do you use"
"By my daughter, in your house. And the handle in your hand" Chen Ye hasn't seen it after all, I don't know what the hell is going on, since Zheng Zheng said so, Chen Ye feels very curious, a daughter can prove the loyalty of the Zheng family.
Of course, Chen Ye will not miss the friend of the Zheng family, and other families will definitely give Chen Ye less than a pot of urine, one more friend and one more way. However, Chen Ye did not interrupt to expose this relationship, and the two of them asked for tacit understanding, and they should do whatever they should be, otherwise it would be suspicious.
The Zheng family was originally a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and the profits of salt also had him, it is estimated that he saw the huge profits of salt and mixed it from the middle, why was it exposed so late, it should be someone like a housekeeper, who came out alone and showed up. I wanted to make extra money, but I didn't expect to get angry.
The two discussed some other things, and Chen Ye's purpose was to maintain the status quo and did not need the loyalty of the Zheng family. Zheng Zheng knew Chen Ye's request and agreed to it. However, in order to leave evidence, the two signed and drew a pledge, which was confirmed.
Chen Ye originally wanted to keep Zheng Zheng at home for a light meal, but after Zheng Zheng was done, he wanted to go back and thank you. Chen Ye sent someone to send him back, in fact, the evidence found by Jinyiwei had not been reported to Chen Ye, and after Chen Ye went to Jinyiwei once, he had to take all the case files and important things away.
When I returned home and opened it, I didn't expect that the Zheng family's methods for so many years were also endless, and the matter of selling smuggled salt had been almost checked by Jinyi, Chen Ye said that His Majesty meant to seal it, and the Zheng family's information was sealed.
Chen Ye has strict preservation of Jinyiwei's information, setting the viewing range, even if there is only one entrance, the data interval has a set of fire intervals to prevent anyone from setting fires.
