"Yes~"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhao Dahu also nodded hurriedly.

In fact, Daming's glass sales have indeed fallen into a state of stagnation, and the growth is very slow, which is still the case of declining prices of glass products.

Everyone is not stupid, and slowly they can guess that this glass is actually not worth anything at all, so they did not spend a lot of money to buy all kinds of glass products like at the beginning.

This is extremely important to open up overseas markets, and it will be the focus of next year.

Zhao Dahu finished reporting, and soon, Sun Xin, the manager of Tianjin Shipyard, also stood up.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Gongzi Liu~"

"Our Tianjin Shipyard has built a total of 1,500 ships throughout the year, including 200 large ships, 500 medium ships and 800 small ships, with a total operating income of 65 million taels of silver and a net profit of 25 million taels of silver~"

Sun Xin clearly reported on the situation of the Tianjin shipyard.

Tianjin Shipyard is now getting bigger and bigger, has opened a branch, just shipbuilding masters have more than 20,000 masters, plus shipbuilding apprentices, etc., the number of workers is more than 100,000.

Tianjin Shipyard is one of the many industries under Liu Jin's command, which Liu Jin attaches the most importance to, because it is related to whether Liu Jin can lead the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty into the colonial era.

The average salary of employees in the shipyard ranks first in many industries, and even the salary of the employees of the Beijing Glass Factory is not equal to the salary of the employees of the Tianjin Shipyard.

The employees in the Tianjin shipyard, even the most ordinary employees, now have dozens of taels of silver a year, and as for the masters who can build ships, the income is higher, and there are many benefits such as welfare and so on.

In terms of aspect, Liu Jin really made a lot of money, and it was a bit of a golden bone.

Shipbuilding is really a technical job, talents are rare, and it takes time to cultivate slowly, which is why Liu Jin sells all kinds of ships very expensive, because there must be enough profits to train these shipbuilding masters, so that some people can concentrate on studying shipbuilding, studying all kinds of new shipbuilding technologies and so on.

"Nice, nice~"

After listening to this, Zhu Houzhao also nodded with satisfaction, and he was another hen who earned more than 20 million taels of silver a year.

"Sun Xin, you are doing a good job, but next year, you still have to further expand the production capacity, and build factories in the south, Ryukyu, Fujian, Songjiang These three places are very good, to expand the production capacity, and pay attention to the innovation and training of technology and talents."

After listening to this, Liu Jin thought about it and admonished.

Liu Jin estimates that next year will be the year of the outbreak of the Great Voyage, and now there are many people here in Beijing and Tianjin who are organizing to go to the Golden Continent to make gold next year, and the orders from the major shipyards in Tianjin have been soft.

The marine fishing industry, the whaling industry, the overseas trade industry, and the overseas gold rush that is about to be interested, all need boats, and ships are the foundation, and if you don't have a boat, it's all empty talk if you want to go overseas.

So we have to build more boats so that more people can taste the sweetness of the ocean.

Especially in the south, Liu Jin must let these big families, big businessmen, gentry, etc. in the south also taste the sweetness of the ocean, and let them know that as long as they follow themselves, they can earn more silver.

As much as possible, these conservative and stubborn forces are slowly transformed into emerging capital forces, so that they can really and quickly promote the progress and development of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that the richest people in the entire Ming Dynasty are all in the south, and if these southerners are not driven, this Ming Dynasty cannot be regarded as a real promotion.

"Yes, I understand~"

Sun Xin nodded again and again, the scale of Tianjin Shipyard is getting bigger and bigger, and the branches are opening more and more, and next year there are plans to open several branches at the same time, to spread all over the coastal areas of Daming, and build more big ships.

After Sun Xin's report was completed, another person soon stood up, and this person was Li Jiye, the steward of the Changlu Salt Farm.

"Your Highness, Liu Gongzi~"

"Last year, Changlu Salt Farm achieved a total operating income of 22 million taels of silver and a net profit of 5.5 million taels of silver~"

When he said this, Li Jiye's voice became smaller, the profit margin is indeed too low, and it is only about 20 points, and there is no comparison with the Beijing Glass Factory and Tianjin Shipyard in front of him, whether it is in scale or profit.

"Why don't you make money from this salt?"

Zhu Houzhao also couldn't believe it slightly after hearing this, in the old concept, this salt is the most profitable, and he didn't see that the richest people in the Ming Dynasty were those salt merchants.

Good guy, the annual salt production of this Changlu salt farm is very huge, but it doesn't make money, which makes people unbelievable.

"Back to Your Highness, the main reason is that this year, our Changlu Salt Farm and the salt merchants in the Jiangnan region have engaged in a year-long price war in the northern region, and now the price of salt is only a dozen Wen a catty, plus we have to pay two million taels of silver in the salt tax in the first year of building the salt farm, so the profit is very low."

Li Jiye thought about it and replied.

In fact, it can't be said that salt is not profitable, its profits are still very high, more than a pound of salt, Changlu Salt Farm is still very profitable, but because of the competition for the market, the price of salt has fallen too much, so it has not made much silver.

Earning millions of taels of silver a year may seem like nothing compared to other industries, but if you make other comparisons, you will know that this Changlu Salt Farm is actually really profitable.

"Salt is a necessary thing for the people's life, and the price is lower, but if we don't make money, we must let the people eat cheap salt."

Liu Jin doesn't care, to be honest, he really didn't want to make any money on salt, he just saw that those salt merchants were not used to it, and he also wanted to engage in the salted fish industry, so he came up with the salt drying method and made this Changlu salt farm.

"Yes, yes, I have long seen that those salt merchants are not pleasing to the eye, this year's price war is beautiful, and it will continue next year, and strive to take down all the southern markets and kill those salt merchants."

"What kind of salt is given to the people to eat, and it is sold so expensive, we will defeat them even if we don't make money."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately nodded again and again, feeling that Liu Jin said no matter what he said, I just won't make money with this salt, and don't kill those salt merchants.

"Yes~"

Li Jiye hurriedly said respectfully.

One after another, the stewards kept standing up to report to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin on the situation of the year.

Tianjin Real Estate, Tianjin Haimao, Tianjin Port, Tianjin Cement Factory, Tianjin Maritime College, Jingcheng Textile Factory, Miyun Iron Factory, Jingcheng Machinery Factory, Ryukyu City, Jingcheng Real Estate, etc., Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao have too many industries together.

Every industry is a hen that lays golden eggs.

Casually, there is a turnover of tens of millions of taels of silver, and the profit of millions of taels of silver, some of which make money, such as Tianjin Cement Factory and Miyun Iron Factory, can make more than 10 million taels of silver a year, which is very profitable.

All in all, many industries combined, the annual operating income is 300 million taels of silver, and the total net profit is more than 100 million taels of silver.

That's a terrible number!

The economy that these industries can drive is even larger, you must know that there can be dozens of industries related to any industry, and then there are more interrelated, how many people can be employed, and how many people can be driven to make a fortune.

Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Mao are at the top of the food and spicy drink, and the following related industries, industries, etc. can also follow the mouth full of oil, and finally flow to the bottom of the ordinary people, everyone can also have a good job and income.

This is also the reason why the entire Beijing-Tianjin region is now developing extremely rapidly.

Because all the emerging industries are set up in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, the number of workers in major factories and workshops is extremely huge.

The population of the capital has increased by more than two million, and this is because the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are too many restrictions.

Tianjin, which was not very conspicuous in the past, now has a faint tendency to become the first city of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of people gathered in Tianjin alone has almost five million people, which is to attract people from Beizhili, Shandong, and Shanxi.

Even if the Ming court is a Buddhist in terms of collecting business taxes, the taxes in the Beijing-Tianjin area have skyrocketed, becoming the most important source of tax revenue for the imperial court, and driving the Jiangnan region to the second place.

Many industries have earned hundreds of millions of taels of silver a year, many of which are industries established by Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin in half, and some are brought by Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Mao, Xu Guangzuo, and Zhu Fu, but Liu Jin is still an important shareholder.

Therefore, among the net profits of hundreds of millions of taels of silver, more than 30 million taels of silver can be attributed to Liu Jin's name.

Earning 30 million taels of silver a year, this is an extremely terrifying number, and Liu Jin's wealth can be described as rich and rivaling the country.

However, Liu Jin knew that this was not a good thing, the feudal dynasty was not good if it was too rich, so it was necessary to make the emperor and the crown prince richer than himself, so that they would not worry about their money.
