In the blink of an eye, it is the end of July, and there are two more hostesses in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which makes the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which lacks popularity, more or less lively.

Originally, in addition to Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also had some maids, old mothers, and guards living there, but because of the identity gap, they didn't dare to do anything beyond their status in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, so that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was a little quiet and terrible on weekdays.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao sisters joined, and the good sisters in the past are now inseparable, the three daughters are talking and laughing together, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is lively.

Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor had married two more women, some of the old people breathed a sigh of relief, they were the ones who were most concerned about the issue of the Metropolitan Governor's heirs.

As the supreme ruler of the People's Army, they are most worried that the Metropolitan Governor will have an accident, and there is no heir, the entire People's Army will be torn apart, and the Ming Army will not be able to resist it, and all those who have anything to do with the People's Army will die.

Now that there are more women around the Metropolitan Governor, it may not be long before the Metropolitan Governor will have an heir, which makes them a little relieved, and only when the Metropolitan Governor's son is born, they will be completely relieved.

The Qiao family sisters married the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army, and the Qiao family was also greatly affected, since the Metropolitan Governor proposed to the Qiao family, some wealthy gentry and businessmen in Guangzhou City tried to visit Qiao Rong and get in touch, the identity of the Metropolitan Governor and the Governor of the Metropolitan is extraordinary, as long as the relationship is pulled, some things will be convenient in the future.

Faced with the visit of outsiders, Qiao Rong only made one choice and closed the door.

On the one hand, Qiao Rong, as a literati, was reluctant to come into contact with copper-smelling businessmen, on the other hand, Qiao Rong knew why those wealthy businessmen wanted to visit him, and Qiao Rong didn't want to cause trouble to his daughter, so he was unwilling to contact them.

Qiao Rong didn't see the guests, but these gentry businessmen thought of a way to pull a relationship with Qiao Rong from the side, Qiao Rong was a literati, and "sent" a lot of ink treasures, and soon these ink treasures became the objects of competition for the gentry businessmen, and their value doubled.

For the wealthy businessmen, as long as the news of their purchase of Qiao Rong Mobao at a high price reaches Qiao Rong's ears, it is a success.

In addition, there are wealthy gentry and businessmen who have school-age women in their families, thinking about whether they can marry their daughters and granddaughters to the Dadu Governor, even if it is just a concubine, and when the Dadu Governor becomes the emperor, the concubine is also a concubine, and the family will prosper.

It can be said that up to now, there are more and more wealthy families under the rule of the People's Army, who believe that the People's Army can resist the Ming Army and even overthrow the Ming Court.

Even those literati who were supposed to be loyal to the Ming court continued to turn to the People's Army, and it was already the end of July, and the second examination of the People's Army had already begun, and the number of applicants was expected to exceed that of the first imperial examination.

The businessmen want to have a relationship with Qiao Rong, the governor of the capital, and big businessmen like Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin are no exception, but for them, it is best to be able to get on a relationship, and it doesn't matter if they can't have a relationship, they are quickly understanding the rules set by the People's Army, and for them, to a certain extent, the rules of the People's Army are better than the rules of the Ming Court.

Everyone is doing business with fair competition, no one is allowed to play the black hand, if it is put under the rule of the Ming Court, even if you have a deep background, you will be killed if you say it is wrong.

At this time, Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin and other merchants still focused more on the trade routes leading to the Ming Dynasty.

For more than a month and a half, only a few of the many businessmen succeeded in opening up trade routes, some to Guangxi, some to Fujian, and some to Huguang, but none to Jiangxi.

Li Chengliang was in Jiangxi, and the Ming court was heavily assembled in Jiangxi, and the Ming army that collected the customs was all elite, so it was naturally not so easy to be bought by the merchants.

Several trade routes were opened, and even collaborators were found in the Ming Dynasty's ruling area, and the profit sharing of the glass business was preliminarily determined, and the carriage transporting glass had already been on the road.

The fastest action is Liang Xin's Liang Chamber of Commerce, the first batch of glass is about to arrive in General Lin's jurisdiction, this batch of glass Liang Xin does not cost much, only 1,000 yuan of equal coins, as long as it is transported to General Lin's jurisdiction intact and successfully taken over by the partner, Liang Xin will be able to get 10,000 taels of silver.

From the People's Army-ruled area to the Ming Dynasty-ruled area, the price of glass has directly increased tenfold.

However, not all of these 10,000 taels of silver belong to Liang Xin, the profits are a total of 10%, General Lin takes 20%, Liang Xin's "background" in the Ming Dynasty is 30%, and the People's Army collects taxes and then divides 20%, leaving Liang Xin with only 30% of the profits.

Even if there is only 30% of the profit left, it will be a double profit for Liang Xin, and he will invest 1,000 yuan in equal coins, and then come back with more than 3,000 taels of silver.

The glass may be broken during transportation, but as long as you are careful and take various anti-shattering measures, the loss will be greatly reduced, and you will be able to earn back the cost of opening a trade route once or twice, and then continue to make a big profit.

The first time was just a glass worth a thousand equal coins, as long as the first time was successful, the Liang Chamber of Commerce would ship more glass and make more money.

Liang Xin is not worried that Daming will not be able to consume so many glass mirrors and transparent glass, there are the most poor people in the world, but there are also many rich people, especially those who are powerful, let go of the delivery of glass to the Ming Dynasty, and they will not be able to saturate the market for several years.

The only thing that would affect the glass business was the war, but according to the information Liang Xin had gathered, neither the People's Army nor the Ming Court would go to war for at least the next year.

In a year's time, even if a batch of glass is transported to the Ming Dynasty in a month, and only 1,000 yuan worth of glass is transported at a time, the grain chamber of commerce can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the total income may exceed 100,000 yuan for a glass worth more than 3,000 yuan equal coin.

With such a terrifying gain, Liang Xin couldn't calm down as long as he thought about it, and his mind was full of gold and silver.

Liang Xin understood the huge benefits of the glass business, and Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan also understood, but the two of them sent people to try to buy the generals of the Ming army twice, but they failed, not to mention the loss of thousands of taels of silver, and the henchmen were caught by the Ming army, maybe their lives have been lost by now.

Seeing that the first batch of glass from the Liang Chamber of Commerce had been transported, Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan were in a hurry, and directly discussed with Liang Xin to borrow Liang Xin's business route at a preferential price.

It is said that it is to borrow Liang Xin's trade route, but it is better to borrow the relationship between Liang Xin and General Lin and his "background", Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan want to transport glass through this trade route, not only to give Liang Xin some money to buy the road, but also to give General Lin and the "background" a large profit share.

If it is not given, the neck is certain, and when the glass is transported to General Lin's jurisdiction, it will be detained directly, and even people will not be put back.

also had to give Liang Xin money to buy roads, so that Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan's glass business income dropped greatly, but even if the income dropped greatly, it was more profitable than ordinary business.

On the other hand, Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan will continue to try to open up a trade route, and only by controlling their own trade routes can they make more money.
