"The prince is a true god and a man."

Li Yi, Qin Dongyang, Kong He and others all bowed down, and there was no lack of excitement on their faces.

"From May to June, I hope to reach more than 100,000 catties," Xu Zixian said to Fu Qian and Zhang Xiande: "The required manpower can be selected among the new immigrants, and they can sign up consciously and voluntarily, and the treatment will be handled according to the current treatment of stove households." At the same time, in these two months, it is necessary to build more than ten salt ponds of this scale, and by August and September, it is hoped that the monthly output will reach more than one million catties, and the annual output will be about ten million catties. ”

Fu Qian nodded again and again, hugged his fists and said: "Ten million catties, after deducting labor costs, we will sell them at a price of twenty wen a catty, and the profit will be more than one million." ”

Xu Zixian nodded, if calculated according to the population of more than 10 million people and more than 2 million households in Fujian, each household needs at least half a catty of salt per month, and the output of 10 million catties cannot even meet the needs of Fujian Road.

Of course, the salt used by the common people is in thousands of provinces, and the price of salt in the Eastern Domain cannot be too low as the price of the imperial court, and it is almost twice as low.

Remove the salt pond cycle, the construction cost, and the cost of the cooks...... It's all a decimal and not worth mentioning.

The bulk is the cost of bribing local governments, and the impact of this matter is eliminated as much as possible, and bribery is inevitable.

There is also freight, after shipping to the port, try to hand over to large distributors, if you underwrite yourself, you have to hire a large number of people, and you have to double the freight, which is not cost-effective.

"Something to do with a distributor." Xu Zixian waved his hand at Chen Duzhong and said, "Please leave this matter to Uncle Nine." ”

Chen Duzhong said: "Of course, the Marquis of Changwen Mansion is duty-bound......"

"No, no." Xu Zixian said with a smile: "This salt pond is not something I made in cooperation with the Hou Mansion of Changwen, and it has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion. Uncle Nine has worked the island, and now there is nothing to do, it is better to work harder, find a military state on Fujian Road, underwrite the local salt of the Eastern Domain, I will give Uncle Nine the price of salt according to the bulk distributor, how much Uncle Nine will talk to them, how much profit will be obtained from it, I will not ask, I will not inquire, and no one is allowed to spread nonsense. ”

That is to say, Xu Zixian will be with the Changwen Hou Mansion, and it is estimated that the two important state capitals of Fuzhou and Quanzhou will be left to the Changwen Hou Mansion for underwriting, at least more than one million catties a year, and a profit of five wen yuan per catty is a heavy profit of tens of millions of dollars.

Prior to this, the Changwen Hou Mansion had been investing money in the Nan'an Hou Mansion, and had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars on the island, if it was together with Chen Wenjun's dowry, I am afraid it would have exceeded one million.

So much money is invested, plus a lot of officialdom connections, shopping mall connections, money, favors, energy, and investment is really a lot.

The Changwen Marquis Mansion has invested a lot, but so far it has not paid off.

It is not too much to give Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and even another state-building distribution right.

The price of salt in the Eastern Domain will be twice as low as that of official salt, and at least one-third lower when it comes to distribution and freight to the towns and villages of the prefectures.

This price is salt, and the quality of salt is good, which is equivalent to asking Chen Duguang and others to go to the street to pick up money.

This deal, the Changwen Marquis Mansion knows about it, and they must be happy.

Chen Duzhong was infringed on a lot of interests, and it can be regarded as a sacrifice for the family, and he had previously suffered on the island in order to master a certain amount of force for the Changwen Marquis Mansion.

Recently, in order to cooperate with the Nan'an Hou Mansion, he has given up all his power and territory.

If the officials on the island have been away from the island for a few months, they will definitely not recognize the original Eastern Domain when they come back now.

Except for a few military camps, the Huaxi area has almost been demolished, many new factories and settlements have been built, a large number of cotton fields have been opened, waterwheels have been built and deep wells have been dug to cover the river mud, and there is already a foundation for large-scale reclamation.

But Chen Duzhong was empty-handed.

"It turns out that Mingda, you brought me over to see this salt pool, which has a deep meaning." Chen Duzhong's happy mouth couldn't close, and the people of the big family also had the difficulties of the big family.

Chen Duzhong is very enjoyable, which can be seen from the furnishings and expenses of Shangzhai.

However, the public industry is fixed for the worship in the family, and Chen Dujing, who is in charge, must take the lion's share, and other clansmen have bonuses to receive according to their status, power, and proximity.

Chen Duzhong receives a maximum of a few thousand yuan a year, plus the official salary, the pleasure is enough, buy land and land, and buy property for his children and grandchildren, not only with the money of the public, that is the way out for the most unproductive clansmen.

After a few generations, it will become a distant sect, and then there will be no officials, and the descendants of Chen Duzhong will divide dozens of dollars a year at most, and eat and drink in the name of the descendants of the Hou Mansion.

And Xu Zi first gave him an underwriting of a military state, even if it was a remote military state, the profits obtained were quite rich.

This is also a reward for Chen Duzhong's recent cooperation, and it is also an example.

I believe that Ren Zhong, the Nanyang sailor, knows it, and his heart will be touched.

"Mingda, Mingda." Chen Duzhong was moved, and said with a smile: "I know that your style of action is like this, and I will not shirk it, I will cooperate with the output of Yanchi to ...... this matter."

"Well, please also ask Uncle Nine and the Changwen Marquis Mansion to ventilate." Xu Zixian smiled: "Don't let me write to the past, my father-in-law, second uncle, third uncle, they think I'm talking about the book of heaven." ”

Chen Duzhong looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "I'm afraid they will really be like this." ”

……

"Is Mingda really a man of God?" Chen Zhengzhi held Chen Duguang's family letter and shouted wildly, and his shape was quite crazy.

"Although you are not decent—" Chen Dujing smiled and shook his head, reminding his son in a slightly reproachful tone not to get carried away, but overall, Chen Dujing himself was extremely happy. With a smile on his face, he said slowly: "The matter of Yanchi, Lao Jiu wrote a book, the third brother and the fifth brother, and the seventh brother all said that the ninth brother was crazy, and I don't know what medicine Xu Mingda took to take it." Now it's okay, he went to the Eastern Domain by himself, wrote a book and came back, well, the matter of Yanchi is true. ”

"With the power of a man to push and stir non-stop, with brine, mixed with light and wind, the salt crystals are self-contained. After crystallization, it is as white as snow, soft as sugar, and it is not too ......much to say that it is the best well salt."

Chen Zhengzhi read the letter of his third uncle Chen Duguang in a low voice, Chen Duguang and Chen Dujing, Chen Duli, Chen Duli and others are all brothers of the same generation, and there are still elders in the clan, but they generally ignore the affairs of the world, and it is these people of the same generation who are in charge of the affairs of the marquis's mansion. Now it is generally Chen Dujing, Chen Duguang, Chen Duming and others who are the main things.

They are not necessarily brothers, but cousins or cousins, in short, close relatives who have not been out of the five suits.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion among the clan, which has caused Chen Dujing to have some headaches, and he is more worried about the matter of cotton than the quick success of the clansmen...... After entering the summer, you should be very careful about drainage, once there is a heavy rain or something, the damage to cotton is not small.

Now many people in the Chen clan will talk about this matter, in case the cotton fields are damaged and the grains are not harvested, the Chen family is equivalent to throwing hundreds of thousands of yuan into the water, and I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital?

If there is no money back, at the end of the year, when the public high school dividends, I don't know how many people will be dissatisfied, from saying strange things to making trouble.

It is difficult to be the patriarch of a big family, mainly because the clansmen can help and help the family develop and grow, but this is also a double-edged sword.

The juniors are messing around, Chen Dujing can still be subdued, if Chen Duguang and the others don't obey, then the matter will be big.

Fortunately, as soon as the salt drying came out this time, Chen Duzhong was very excited on the day the salt was released, because Xu Zi first allowed him to underwrite a part, which was equivalent to sending money to Chen Duzhong, and a windfall fell from the sky, and Chen Duzhong was afraid that he would wake up laughing when he was dreaming.

In fact, when Chen Duzhong's letter was written, there was a feeling of joy between the lines, and those words seemed to be immersed in honey water, and Chen Duzhong's emotions could be felt across the ocean.

In addition to the place where Chen Duzhong underwrote, it was the place where the Changwen Marquis Mansion underwrote most of the rest, and the profit was also very large.

"Be steady." Chen Dujing was also in a very good mood, looked at his dancing son, and reminded: "This matter is important, don't get the incident secret, leak it out, and provoke people." ”

"Yes, my son knows." Chen Zhengzhi agreed with a smile, and then said: "This time, my father doesn't have to worry about my little sister marrying and being poor!" ”

Chen Dujing really had this kind of worry before this, he had already spent hundreds of thousands of yuan as a dowry, built another courtyard for Chen Wenjun, and built a large number of houses, and the investment was not heavy.

Xu Zixian has great achievements, has a big name, and nearly 10,000 troops and naval ships, as long as he does not lose his heart and raise the flag to rebel, the dynasty will have to rely on the Nan'an Hou Mansion in Fujian, and after a long time, it is natural to become the Nan'an Mansion, and even the Nan'an Palace, it is not impossible.

Everything will take time, but no matter how harsh the Chen clan, or the in-laws, or the officials who have a certain relationship with the Changwen Marquis Mansion, everyone can't say that this family is wrong, in fact, everyone says that this family is right, which is quite wonderful.

Xu Zixian is not afraid of trouble, and he is also very methodical in sorting out military and political affairs.

It did a very good job in Qizhou, and it was also silent in Penghu, and he won the water division without making a big noise.

And after those military attachés returned to Fuzhou, King Zhao didn't know what to do, they were all good students, and after knowing the truth afterwards, King Zhao was half angry, even if people were afraid of the power of King Zhao's mansion, this matter was still spread as a joke, and the entire Fujian Road was spread.

Xu Zixian's reputation that he was young and old and old and spicy also gradually spread.

The previous Xu Zixian gave people the feeling that he had opened a bloody road with a barrier knife, simply put, he was a heavenly killer, from Shiqiao to Jiangtan, all the way to Jingshi, and then to Qizhou, a broken clan that was suppressed and guarded against, and killed to the position of marquis of the country, killed the five-grade official position, as well as the regimental training and solid family background.

It was not until the Nanyang Naval Division was eaten and the development of the Eastern Domain was determined that people gradually felt that the turbulent status quo of the Nan'an Hou Mansion gradually calmed down, and those suspicious eyes gradually became calm, although there are still many people who are picky and suspicious, but no one doubts the fact that Xu Zixian will become an important town in Fujian......

The only thing that can be criticized is that Nan'an Hou Xu Zi has always been generous in his work, and the investment in the development of the Eastern Domain is too great at once, and the number of people in the Eastern Domain has surged many times, and by the end of the year more than 100,000 people will be placed.

A large amount of money is a big investment, and the future return can be expected, but it is also worrying that in many years, Nan'an Hou Mansion will not be too rich, and some relatives from far away branches hold the psychology of watching the excitement and watching jokes, and discuss it in private, all saying that Changwenhou has chosen a good son-in-law, but if you want your daughter to live a rich life with your son-in-law, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Men have a future and a future, but for women, the center of discussion is still how life is going, whether the husband's family has a foundation, and whether there is money......

The bride price given by Xu Zixian was generous, which blocked the mouths of many people, but with the investment of the Nan'an Hou Mansion in the Eastern Domain, these floating discussions rose again.
